The rosult of tho election held to fill the va- cancy in Congress from the Grand Rapids Dis- briet, Michigan, s in doubt. Tho contest was between Willinms, Ropublican, and Comstock, Domocrat, sud ié will requiro tho official vote to determine who is elected. Tho Hon, 8, 8. Cox, of New York, was yester~ day eclectod to Congres to fill the vacancy caused by tho death of Jamos Brooks, Mr. Cox wag one of tho ablest and most useful members of the last Congress, ond Lifa roturn to tit body will be gratifying to the country gonerslly, Hig exporience, his ability, and his information will be of great value in the transaction of the busi- ness of the Houso, Another railrond ballooning operation las commenced to collapse. Tho story is a brief one. The California and Toxas Construction Company, which has the contract for building the Toxos Pacific Road from the wostern boundary of Texas to San Diego, Cal,, failed to meoet its obligationa which mntured yestorday, and $800,000 of its paper accordingly wont to protest. The total lisbilities of the rond are about 7,000,000, ThoTexas Pacific is one of the Scott roads, It will soon become necessary to establish s departmont of probabilities in connection with the French Government, sincs each doy dovel- ops anew phase of affairs. Tho news this morn- ing js that the Loft (Republican) will smend tho motion for the prolongation of Macdahon's term by requiring o deflvitive recoguition of tho Topublic. Meanwhile the Bonapartists, who hiave heretoforo acted with the Ropublicans, will mako no alliance, eithor with the Right or the Left, but act by themselves. The Chicago produce markets were generally dull yosterday, and tho leading bresdstufls were weak. Dess pork was quiot and essior, closing at 81150 cash and £11.80@11.40 goller Decem- ber. Lard was quioct and a shade firmer, at 63¢c cash, and 7c seller January, Meats were quiet and firm at 8)¢e for shoulders, 53@058{o for short ribs, 575@Ge for short clear, all bLoxed, soller December ; aud 6}4@03{c for grean Ly, Lako freights were active and unchanged, at Te for corn to Buffalo. Highwines were in fair de- mand and stendy at 88c per gallon, Flour was moro active, and a shade easior. Wheat was dull aud 3{clower, closing at 99%{o cash, sud $1.003¢ seller Decomber. Cora was more active, and Yge lower, closing firm at 353¢o cash, and 87¢ soller Decomber. Oats wore dull sud %{@lo lower, closing at 273({@280 cash, and 20}¢c seller Docember. Ryo was quict and & shade firmer, st Gle. Barloy wans more active and 2@dc Tigher, closing ot $1.93 for No, 2, and 9o for No. 8. On Saturdny evening last thoro was in storo in thia city: 609,772 bu wheat; 2,337,149 bu corn; 895,208 bu oats; 09,117 bu rye; snd 462,611 bu barloy, Hogs were dull dwing the forenoon, but toward the clese beeame active and sironger., Sales at £3.45@8.86 for poor to choice, Cattle and sheop wera dull and weak. THE CITY ELECTION, Tho olection In this city yestorday proves that the ignorant and vicious clnsses, added to the entire German vote, are a majority of the popu- lation; that they hiave tho powor to govern, and that they will exorciso it whenever au influsuco is brought to bear compelling thom to coalesco. Tho voto cast yesterday in favor of the ticket hoaded by IT. D. Colvin was made up, to the ex- tent of 00 per cout, of those two olements. Tho othier 10 per cent cousisted of personal fricuds of tho cendidates and a scattoring vote of intel- ligent nou-Gorman citizens who wore disgrun- tled with Sunday laws, Au iuspoection of the ratwmrns hy wards and procinets shows, elso, that the Gormau-Irish coslition was very strong and effectiva. This coalition could nover bLuve been Lrought about oxcopt by an attempt to interfors with soclal customs and traditions, and to make the Fourth Commaudment & moasure of city governmont, The entagonisms between tho two nationalities were too deop-sonted and of too long standing to have boon reconoiled in sny othor way, Now that they have been roconcllod in part, there is grave danger that the condition of things which 8o long and so disgracefnlly afli{oted the Oity <« New York may bo ropented hore. We pointed this out, not onco morely, but many timos, bofore tho issuca of this clootion wore settled, Wo warned the Committeo of Soventy ropontedly that a rigid, cast-iron rule applying to every boversgo that a man puts in his mouth, and attacking national customs harmless in themaelves, would not command a majorlty voto 1 this city, composed so largely of porsons of toreign birth. When our views wera rojocted at the firat Pacific Iotel moeting, and it becamo manifest that two tickots would be put in the fleld if mny relaxation or modificstion of the Bunday' ordinance was to tho Hesing-O'Hara tiokot, wo yiclded to the necossity of supporting tho only movomont which promised docont irontment to tho tax- payors of tho cily. Whon, In addition, a ticket was mado up without a single Gorman name on it, wo eaw dangor ahead nioro plamly even than boforo. It was possiblo, at ono timo, to havo divided the Gorman voto, Buch o division wonld of ltsolf have divided tho Irish voto, for tho Iat- tor would not hnve adhered to tho conlition with- out tho strongest ovidencs of good faith on tho part of thoeir allies. But it Is usoloss to speoulato on what might havo boon, Wo have to face tho fact that all tho disorderly olemonts of the oity lave jolnod thoir forcea totho united Gorman vote anda vory Intge mnjor‘ty of tho Irish vote. Tho Germang a8 & rulo aro not Aisordorly. 'Thoy aro for the most part taxpayors, and would ton timos rathor voto with tho native-born population than with the Xrigh if they could get what they concelvo to to bo their inhoront and indofonsiblo por- sonal rights ot tho' hauds of tho Iat- tor, Mr, Hesing and his friends bavo imposed upon thomselves tho nocossity of earrying thoir motloy constituency through a financial orisis, which is likely to continue with more or loss sovorlty through their term of ofiice, Theyhave rolioved thelr opponents of this responsibility. They will find it o porploxing task—an up-hill Job. The clection of Mr. H. D. Colvin as Mayor at any time could ouly bo rogarded ns n huge practical joko. At this timo it fa o sorious oue, and moro gorious to Limself and lis frionds than to anybody elee, Wo tako it that he is a man of fair intentions, though as a candidato ho cut no figuro at all in the campaign, Having had no oxporienco in public affairs, ho must necessarily depend upon lis supporters in the cloction to instruct him. The Bundsy ordinance will go overbonrd, nsn ‘mattor of course, and Lhe polico will fall into tho hiande of a bad and dangerous sct of mon, unless the bad and dangorous elemont are to bo cheated out of their ghare of tho victory, which is not likely. Tho new Council, wo judge, will bo worso than the averago. Mr, Den O'Hara will not be a bad City Trens- urer. Thore are no naturalization papers to bo issned out of the Iatter oflice, and no Deputy Olerks to bo appointed with blank commissions, ‘Wo liavo considorable confldence in Mr, O'Hara’s pocuniary integrity, and, it wo lind tho samo con- fidenco in tho now Council, and in the porsous to VLo aoppomted to tho offices of Comptroller and Corporation Counsel, we should take a less gloomy view of municipal affairs than the aspects of the oloc- tion and the elements which contributed to the result compol us to take. THE STATE ELECTIONS. The panic whick struck the Republican party in the October elections in Ohio, California, and Tows, seems to heve become inteusifled, and has stricken that organizetion just as savaraly in othor parts of tho country ; and it ia now in as pitiablo a plight as the finencial deal- ers in speculativo stocks und valuelesa railroad Jobs. The clections throughout {he country yester- dny show that the party las been disastrously defeated in almost every locality. In Wiscon- sin, Virginia, New York, Kansas, and even in Michigan and Massachusetts, it has folt tho blow, Though Gov. Washburn has been re-clected in Masenchugotts, the Ropublican majority thoro ling been reduced from the 72,000 of last year to 12,000 or 15,000 this year. Gen. Banks has beon elocted State Sonator over Lis Republican com- potitor, and all thoe large towns and citios of tho State have given majoritios against tho Republi~ can party. DBoston, Worcestor, and Lowell all givo Domocratic majorities, showing the as- tonishing demornlization of the Ropublican party. In the words of our Boston correspond- “ent, wherovor thero was an indopendent caudi- date, the peoplo elected bim, In the rovolution, the peoplo havo pronounced against the pro- hibitory liquor law, aud generally sgainst in- tolorant legislation, In Wisconsin, tho Republicans lad as their candidato for Governor, one of tho most popu~ lar men in tho State, and one who Was not sus- pected of avy favor for railvonds or monopolics. 'The Republican majority of 18,000 oue year ago has beon overcome, and Gov. Washburn, ifelect- ed ntall, has but a nominal majority, whilo tho rest of the Republican ticket is defeated by tho Farmers' candidates, The rovolution has also oxtonded to tho Legislature, of which thie Oppo- sition have clected a majority. For tho details, as well as for the returns from tho county elec- tions in this State, wo rofer tho reader to the column of olection news, In this State, tho Farmora lavo carried Ford, Buroau, Liviog- ston, Madison, and otler countioa, SOME MISSING MEWN, ‘Where wero Mesard, John A. Logen, John B. Rice, Jaspor D. Ward, Cherles B. Farwell, and N. B. Judd during the eoxciting and impor- tant municipal contost which was settled yos- terday at tho polls? Can it be that anything of a gorious nature has happened to those eminent gentlomon within the past two or three wooks ? Oan tho public mind of Chicago have beon 80 much disturbed by the Hesing fight as not to have remarked tho suddon pnd mys- terious disappearance of theso distinguished citizons ? Havo theso conspicuous public men been waylaid or abdueted withont our spocial wonder ¢ If 80, then it is timo that the public bo nroused from indifforonce to their whoro- abouts and safety. The eleotion 8 now cver, and It ean 1o longer bo ploaded that the atton- tion of the people is distracted by more oxecit- ing ovents. No good citizen ought to rest anolher night without satisfying Limuelf thnt these gontlemen are in asound condition of body and mind, We ean afford no longor to bo in doubt concorning the welfare of ono SBonator, threo Members of Congress, und o Collestor of Customs, all of whom aro fellow-citizens of thiy grent and prosperous metropolis. 1 nocessary, tho fire-larms must po sounded, the polico sot in motion, criers placod upon the streot, and bell-ringers for lost children, telograms sent abroad throughout tho world, the river draggod, and overy other energotio and well-directod of- fort mado to ascortain their whereabouts, Ev- ery man must constitute himsel? a Coroner’a juryman pro tem,, and bo on tho alert for any olue that may lead to thelr discovery, Tho approhionsione councerning the safoty of Mosgrs, Logan, Farwoll, Ward, tice, and Judd ara woll founded, For two or three woeks past, the clty has beon In & fo- ver of oxoltoment over an oiganized raid, under tho leadorship of Mr. Heslng, to obtamn possossion of the Clty Government, and espacial- ly of its funds. Tho most lethargie cltizeny havo hoen aronsed to cast their votes aud use their influonce agninat tho succoss of the bume mors, Mon who bave Lerstofore beou indiffer- {ncorporated in tha platform of those ovposed ontand towstive et olootlon-timo Liave felt the nacossity of coming out boldly and casting tho woight of thelr influonce ngainst the dangor which throatoned, Undor suoh ofroumstances, 1t is difiicult to botiove that mon of such omi- nont standing in this community as Mosars. Logan, Ward, Rico, Farwoll, and Judd would linve rofrainod from lending the force of their Influonce to tho good causo, if thoy had not boon deterrod by cireumstances over which thoy hiad no control, All these gontlomen ofther re- sido or do businecss in Chicago. Mr, Rico roprosents the South Division of the city in Congress, Mr. , Ward tho West Di- vision, and Mr, Farwell tho North Di- vislon. Gen. Logan is ono of the United States Senators from this State, and resides in Ohi- engo; and Mr, Tudd sits at tho receipt of ous- tom. All of thom hava large porsonal intorcata in the good government of tho city, aside from tho brondor and deopoer concorn which they take in tho political wolfaro of thoir constituents. If oithor of these gentlomon wero in private lifo, tholr silonco would not have boon s0 ominous, a8 most of thom are silont and unobtrusivo mon. Dut, reprosenting, as thoy do, the great inter- osts of tho Commoreial Motropoliy of the Nortl- west, thoy could not have looked ou with Indifferenco at such 8 strugglo ss wo have just passed through. Mossra. Logan and Farwell wore heard of some wooks ago ns opposing the "holding of a party convention, on the ground tiat the Republican party could not afford to inecur the futuro op- position of the Gorman voto, But sinco thab timo thoy have sunk back into the snme signifi~ cant obsourity as thelr distinguished colleagues, Messra. Ward and Rice, Thoy eaunot have boon voluntarily absent from the city at snch n erisis, ‘They would have returned to their constituency and their duty as fast as lightning-oxpross traing could havo brought them. In any othor condi- tion than that of inveluntary dotention or loss of life, theso gontlomen would certainly havo pro- clnimed their allegiance. to tho cause of good government, and their uncompromung opposi- tion to bummers, saloon-kecpers, gamblors, and tho vicious clagacs gonorally. Wo refuso to bo- liova in the selflsh motive which haes beon frecly suggoested : that they foared to antagonizo tho Gorman vote. Theso are the ronsons why wo have serious approbensions concerning tho safoty of the dis- tinguished gontlemon who represont Chicago in Congresa. The public mind will not bo at rest uatil some positive information is furnishod that Mossra, Logan, Farwell, Ward, Rico, aud Judd aro safo. Whon thismuch isnacertained, we havo no doubt thnt these gontlemon will be able to explain to tho satisfection of all why they fore- bore to cast their influence againat tho bummers. THE RAFFERTY CASE, The judgment of the Supreme Court of the State in tho caso of Rafferty, which we publish this morning, is worth rending, Lenving out of view altogethor the ro- verssl of Rafferty’s sontonce, the language or tho opinion betrays s bitterness and a sort of of- ficinl vindictiveness which is not pleasant, nor, wo may sBay, decorous. Tho learned Judge who delivered the opinion has been se- voroly ecriticised for Issuing writs of su- perscdens in criminal cases in this county. In one of those cases, ho has beon recently overriled by the majority of the Court ; nud Lo seems, in this opinion, to find satisfaction in revorging a sccond time tho conviction of a bratal ruffian for the wanton murder of & faith- {ul public ofticor. Tho legal cause for the revorsal is, that on the trinl tho Circuit Court refused to admit evidonco showing that tho warrant on which Rafferty had been arrested by Officor Scanlan, was illegal and void. Thisis now held to be proper evidence, because, the warrant boing illogal and voud, the arrest was equally illegel, and the killing of Ofticer O'Meara was no moro than manslaughter. We do not propose fo argue th1s question with the Bupreme Court. The facts of thio caso wore vory fow and plain : Rafforty was a notorious ruflisn. He had long been known to the polico 08 such. Ho was kuown to be a desporato men, ard shortly before this hnd notifled Officer Be- doll that ¢ Nono of thoso sons of bitches of po- licomon at Bridgoport * should ever arrest him slong ashe had a pop (pistol) with him, As special compleint having been made ab the sta- tion, tho Sergeant in chargo #illed out a blank warrant, proviously signed by the Police Justice, for tho arrost of Rafferty, and delivered it to Oficer Scanlan to exocuto, Scanlan, not koow- ing Rallorty, asked Officer O'Mearn to go along to point out the man. Aftor midnight, the two officors ontered a saloon whora Rafferty waos. O'Mearn pointed him out, Seanlan ar- rested him, reading the warrant. O'Meara ro- meined at tho front door, taking no part in the arrost. At first, Rafforty made no objoction to tho arrost; then, gotling some feet away from Scanlan, ho deliborately fired at aud killed 0'Meara, who stood between him and the door. ‘The Circuit Court excluded tho testimouy a8 to tho illegality of tho warrant, becauso the war- rant and tho arrest Lad nothing to do with the murder of 0'Aleara, who wag not oxecuting tho warraut or muking the arrest. The Iact that he was an oficor was sceidental; any other man who knew Rafferty would lave answered a8 well, Rafferty would lavo killed any other man who stood whero O'Meara did and in tho way of his escapo. The Supreme Court, howover, decido that ovidonco ns to tho illogality of the warrant sorved by ono oflicer onght to bave been ad- mitted, beeauso it tonded to roduco the crimo of killing onother officor from murder to man- sloughtor. Hore is tho way Judgo MeAllistor roprosents tho rolations of the man killed to tho wan who killed him : Tho record contalus evidence tending to show that {he homicido wan committed by the prisoncr fn reslst- Ing the decensed, who was o polleemun of the City of Chicngo, whilat cugaged, In councetion with suother policemny, whom ho was alding, iu the act of com- lttiug nu ilegal and wholly unjustifablo invasion of pluinti’s Hberty, by attompting to scize his person and tako b ofY to privon, without suy suthority fu law 80 to do, Tha ordinary reader of this paragraph from tho opinion of Judgo MeAllister will wonder ox- ceodingly why thoe froomen of tho City of Chiea- |. go, or of the whole Btato of Illinois, have not loog since voted Lionors to Cbristopher Rafforty, who, {n repolling an * invasion of his liberty” vy an attempt ** to welzo his porson and take bhim off to prison without any authority in law so to do," gloviously shot down the man engaged in tho * illogal and wholly nnj:xullflnbln act." Whon Rafforty reads this tribute to hiw horoism, this oxaltation of his high moral purpose of protect- Ing the person and liberty of tho oltizon agninat unjustifiablo invasion, he may Indeod rank him- nolt among the patriots of tho land,—tho William Tollu of all nges. The fact, however, was that Rafforty wan just drunk enough to have hie iubevout brutulity wromed, 1fo badinade Lus provious throats to kill auy policoman who might attompt to srrest T S him. It mado no differonce to him whothor tho warrant wos Jogal or not, nor whother ho was charged with folony or migdomeanor. Ho know that, n fow lours boforo, ho had boaton a man, and naturally had causo to expoct ho would bo nrrested. ITo had wo iden of reslsting an arrest boonuso of ita illogality ; ho was dotor- mined not to bo arrosted at all ; and, having tho vistol, ho deliboratoly shot down tho man who stood in tho doorwsy. What did this ohampion of personal liborty, thls mon of Inw snd ordor, who could not tolorato anarrest on an fllogal warrant, do aftor he had shiot down the invador of his personal rights ? Did ho anuounco that ho had vindieated tho sights of citizon ngainst unauthorizod arrogt? Ho did noihing of tha Jind ; but hio ran away, fly- ing Ly night from tho avor-prosont ghoat of tho mon ho had murdered, hiding by day in tho swamps and bushes, Ho was both murderor and cownrd. It lins romained for tho Buprome Coutt to publish him s horo and a martyr for porsonal liborty, 0'Moara's prosonco on tho occaslon was not official; the warrant was not addrossed to him; ho Liad not exeeuted it ; ho had sssumod no cus- tody of the man, Ifo was shot down by thisruflian beeauso Lo was an officor. If this ovidenco bo ad- mittod, ns it must be, thore will bono diffieulty in jury convicting him of murder, uuloss, indeed, tho Supremo Court shall intorposo & third timo in big bohalf, Itia toboregretted that, while tho tondenoy of oll the appeliate Courts of the country and of the world is against interforence with the de- clsions of towor tribunals whore subatantial jus- tico ling beon dono, the vory opposito tendency prevails in the State of Tilinols. Hero tho offort sooms to bo to hang every cese ou o pin-haak, and to practically foster crime by tho intor~ position of objections in favor of criminals whoro no substantial injustico has been dono to thom. JAY COOKE AND THE GOVERNMENT, When the Firat National Bank of Washington suspended, it waa discovered that tho Govern- ‘ment bad $100,000 or moroe on deposit thoro with- out security. It is now stated that Jey Coolio & Co., who (though Henry D. Cooko was Preeidont of tho bank) bad borrowod $800,000 from it, hovo now turnod over to the Government, to se- curo it against loss, $200,000 of Central Pacifio bonds. ‘Che object of this transfor, which {s aoltogether wuulawfal at this time, i twofold, viz.: (1) To protect Fenry D. Cooko from prosacution, who, as an officor of tho First National Bank, violated tho National Curroncy act by authorizing s losn of moro than 10 per cent of the capital to himeelf and partners, and thereby committod o ponal offense; snd (2) to protect tho oflicer of the Government who is rospounsible for tho depoit of public money in tho Firat National Bank without tho security roquired by law. Tho case is one of mutual accommodation. Mr. Honry D. Coolo, ox-Gov- ernorof tho District of Columbia, probably hopes to oscapo prosccution if his firm shall reliove tho respousible Governmens official, likewiso & transgressor of tho law, by making good tho Governmout doposit of funds. Moanwhile, the other croditora of Jay Cooke & Co. are asked to quietly forogo their lien upon $200,000 of the as- sets, in ordor to save those two individuala from furthor ombarrassment. Tho reported transfor of the Central Pacific bonds to tho Government i8 in direct viola- tion of the Notlonal Bankruptcy act, which prohibite preferences of every nature, and makes no oxcoption in favor of the Governmont. Mesears, Jay Coolte & Co, bave prepared a quad- rilateral agreement, whioh we publish elsowhero in full, This agreement 18 intended to provide for & settlement outside of the Banlrupt law; and, among other stipulations, it gives Jay Cooka & Co, (Sce. 6) the right to sottle any of the debta by paying, transforring, and dolivering any of tho asgots to creditors at thoir appraised valuo. If this agroement had been signed by all the croditors, instoad of being a mere proposition a8 it is now, it would give Jay Cooke & Co, the power to turn over to tho Government the 8200,000 of Central Pacific bouds. But, as this is not the cage, and as none of tho creditors have yet abandoned their rights undor the Bank- rapt law, thotranafer is fllogal and witl not hold. And, o8 it 8 not at all likely that all the creditors of Jay Caoke & Co, will sub- geribe to the quack plan of mnegotiable cortificates of indebtedness, the Government will undoubtedly bo requirod to surrender the bonds, and take its placo among tho othor creditors of tho First National Bauk, in which cago it will uot receive more than 50 per cent of its deposit, Tho First National Bank of Washington is located just opposite the Treasury Building, whero the Government funds can always be kops in absolute enfoty. Tho only explanation offerod thus far why money should lhave beon taken out of tho Treasury and carried across the street for deposit is, that tho Firat Natioual Bauk was o Government depository. The law requires, how- over, that no Government funds shall thus bo deposited witliout requiring an oqual amount of United Statos bouds u8 security, In this cuse, no sccurlty whatovor was tnken, Tho infrae- tion of law is so flagrant that It calls for tho impeachmout of the ofticial who suthorized the deposlt, whother that of- fielal bo Presidont, Sccretary, Troasurer, or what not. Tho impeachment of somebody is demanded all the more becauso the violation of lnw in this instance Is but one of u large nunber of ofiicial acts of a similar sort show- ing an untter contompt for tho rostraints im- posed by law upon the misuge of the public funds. To permit this to pass unnoticed nlong with tho other offenscs which bave procedod it, will bo to give general notice to the presont Administration, and its successors in offico, that all Iaws regulating tho Tronsury havo been in- dofiutoly susponded. If, In direct violstion of law, 200,000 may bo risked and lost for tho accommodation of o friend, without ontailing any ponalty for tho infraction, then £3,000,000, or 820,000,000, or any other sum which tho publio officials for the timo being may desire, can bo employed [n a similar manner.
