K. MoAllistor, Corporation Counsol, and Mr, Marcus C. Stoarns, Commissionor of Public Works, Judgo MoAllis- tor 18 now & Judgo of the Buprome Court, lan man of high logal attainments, and porsonally well known and respootod in Chicago. Wo hope e will consent to accept tho appointmont, Alr. Hayos i8 ogually woll snd favorably knownto Chicago, and bes hold tho oftica boforo, to the nd~’ vantago of tho city and credit of himeolf. With My, Stearns in the Board of Publio Works, tho publi will have na assuranco that tho af- faira of that dopartmont will bo honestly sdmio- istored. Threo bottor or moro antisfactory ap- pointmonts could not bo-made.. Thoy will se- Ga9dersho, excchtive branch ck_t‘lxt?.nay _Cr:t_{ If thoso eoleotions have been made, Mayor Colvin has shown a purpose to make the public intorests paramount in the administration of his Govornmont, We hopo hio will remain iufloxibly firm. Ho is rosponsibloe to the poople, and can- not eovade or tranefer that rosponsibility to othors, Tho-danger ho has most to fear is tho arrogance ef & corrnpt Common Counoil. Thero aro many new mombors of tho Conngil, and wo will not projudgo them, nor assnme thap thoy have sought tho.place for profit, - We spouk from the expericnce of the past. As far ‘back as Mayor Rico's time, the Common Council boldly nssumed to be supremo, dofled the Mayor, end carriod things with s high hand. During the time of Mayor Mason, they in like manner banded together to assumo control and oxerciso tho functions of all the dopartments. It was during this term that tho famous * Ninetoon " carriod on their operations, for which a number of them wore subgequently tried and convicted. Despito tho great calamity of tho fire, tho Common Council, in the early. part of Mayor Modill's ndminiatration, sought to exercieo an nbeoluts control over tho City Government. The romnants of the old corrupt fgetion, with some additional recruits, combined to dictate to the Mayor aud to tho community, and to make thom- selves tho oxclusivo governors of Chicago—nn ontorprise which was foilod by tho paasage of .what Is known a8 the Mayor's bill. It is ngtural, therefore, to expeet that Mr. Colvin, like hispro- flecessors, will encounter & like difficulty, whion ill require all his ability and fixmness to over- como, Homust do his duty, no mattor what thio Counoil may do, or attempt to do. Ho will not want the confidenco or support of the people in any ack for the public. interest, evon should o thereby becoms embroiled with tho vagabonds of the Common Council. COOK COUNTY AND THE GRAB LAW, ‘We printed yestorday a roport of an interview with AMr, James P. Root, County Attorney, in reforenco to the oporations of tho Grab law, as nffected by the rocont incroase of mssossmont for Btate purposes. . The cpnclusions reachod by Mr. Root are: 1. That the Grab law of 1809 is unconstitu- tionnl. 2. That it has beon repoaled by the Rovenue law of March 80, 1872, 8. That any procoedings by the Aunditor or State Treasurer to apply auy portion of tho pro- ceods of tho tax levied for Stato purposes to the payment of interest on the railrond-aid bonds will be illogal. The object of tho Grab law was, a8 stated by Ar. Root, to transfor the payment of the in. tercut on those bonds to the wholo State, aud re- lieve the towns, countios, and citios that owe tho debts, The law malses the nusexsment of 1808 tho standsrd, and providoxthat oll State taxes on any increaco iu tho asscssed valuo of tho property, in all conntios, towns, and cities owing railrond-ald debts, over tho ussossed vauo in 1808, instond of going into the Stato 'Treasury, hall bo used by the Stata ofticers to pay tho in- terest on that debt ; if thoro bs no incroasa in tho nssossmont, thon each county, ote,, shall lovy a speclal tax to pay the interost ou its, oywn debf. b Ju 1803, tho total assessod value of the prop- orty in Diinois was §405,000,000. In 1873, it is $1,200,000,000, neocssed value of the. proporty in looalitios owing thesa dobts was, n 1868, sy, $200,000,000;' 4t {8 now $460,000,000. The differouco s $20,« 000,000, To thisis tobe added ko aescssed waluo of the railroads constructed in theye coun- tios sinco 1868, say, £30,000,000,'making an rggre- gato of $280,000,000, This sum has to bo do- dueted from tho aggrogats of the Stato nsdoss- ment, loaviog the Inttor at £920,000,000, Tho Auditor levies a tax on the §920,000,000 pt such, & rato as will produce tho amount of rovayue required by the Btato; ho aiso lovies tho eame sate of Lax on tho $280,000,000, snd applies the proceeds to tho paymont of tho interest and principal on the Jocal railroad-aid dobt. The rate presonibod by the Auditor for Stalo pur- poses is 8 mills and 6-10 per cont. This rate will produce (on ©040,000,000) tho pum of ©9,812,000, which will go into the Btate Trons- ury, and on tho §280,000,000 tho suwm of §1,008,~ 000, which tho Btate Fronsuror will pay ovor to tho holdors of these sailroad-aid bonds. It will bo soon, therdforo, that the payment of tho intorost and principal on those bonds ia thus mado s charge on the whole Btate; the amount raquired for that purposo 1s takon from the pro- ceeds of the levy for Btate purposocs.

Though we liave not tho exact figures of the smount of the nysesamonta in thore indebted towns and coun- tios in 1808 and 1873, the figuros wo lave glven aro sufliclontly noar to illustrato tho caso, In round numbers, the assosemont of 1873 is $1,200,000,000, of which, Gaok County is put down at $300,000,000. If tho smount of Biato rovenuo neodod is #3,800,000, tho lovy on that wholo sum would haye boon 2 mills and 16-20 of & mill, and the proportion—one-fourth—to boe pald by this county would bo $825,000. But, by blotting out or’ exompting $260,000,000 of proporty from taxation, reducing tho sggregato to $020,000,000, the rato has to bo incroased t0 8 6-10 mills, and Cook County will havo to poy $1,170,000, making & diroct lovy on this ocounty of §845,000 & yoar, to pay for the bonded dobt of varlons towna and counties throughout the Blate. The tax on tlus county, per an- pum, for the bonded debt of Quiney, Bpringfleld, and the othor towns, coun- tlos, and distriots of this Stato is @345,000. But the robbery doos not'stop hera, Tho actual proportion of tho taxable property in this State chargeablo to Cook Countyis about ono-sixth of the whole, Taking $1,200,000,000 as tho true sesossmont, Cook County should--havo been assoasodat about $200,000,000. To this thero has boon added $100,000,000, and a corrosponding sum takon from the rest of tho Btato, Cook County is agecssod at about 70" por cont of the actual values, and tho rest of the Btate at losa than 40 por cent.

The de- siro to aoquiro tho island had ite origin in the faot that Cuba contained & large slave popula- tion, would admit of boing carved into at lenst two Btates, and would greatly strongthon the pro-elavery party in tho United Biates. It was' opposed, .if for no other roason, bocouse it would strengthen slavery in this country, and tond togivo it o perpotuity, and would also givo to the slave holders un- duo politieal weight in tho Senato and tho; Eloc- topal Colloga.
