The saloon-keopors also rosolved to koep enough of this foreign beor In storo to prevent the browers from over ropeating their attempt at extortion. Tho causo of the saloon-keepers ia tho cause of good order as woll as cheap beer, for who wants ropoatod in Chicago the scones that took placo in Frankfort-on-the-Main last year, when, moddened by an inorcase in the prico of their boor, its staid population fell to rioting, storm- ing broweries, mobbing browers, and committing such excesses that the military had to bo called out to suppress them ? It the facts conflict with Senator Logan's finan- cial theories, so much tho worse for the faota, Trg Curcado Taivune and the Cincinnati Commer- cial, in tho legitimato oxorcise of their func- tions 28 reportors of tho mews, have] rocently stated that monoy was easy In the West, and that loans could easily bo obtained st low ratos of intorest upon good seocurity.

Under tho inepiration of his personal pros- enco, the Siato Senate passed the Lin- coln Park bill. It was sigoed by the Governor, who nominated & Board of Commissioners, They were confirmed, and are understood to be in favor of Sunday music in the park. Mr. Hesing's influonce was also visiblo ju tho introduction of a bill in tho House to re-enact that part of tho Mayor's bill which givos that officor power to voto o part of an ordi- nauco without condemning the whole, Bberift Bradloy finds that the law places tho County Jail undor his control, and not that of the Yoketellows of the Young Mon's Christian Association. Ho has, thorefore, made up his mind not to allow the daily revival meetings among the inmates that were begun during his abacnce and without his consent a fow doys ago. Sorvices on Sunday were not #0 objectionable, but the intrusion every dayjof anybody, however well-menning, on an errand like that of the Yokefellows, is so destructive of tho disciplino of the prison thut it cannot be pormitted. A dangorous plaything is the Franking Privi- lege, and tho Houso of Reprosoutatives are too fond of toying with it us they did yestorday. The Post-Offico Committee have propared n bill which restores it partially, allowing pub- He documents, and other truck in the shapo of seeds, to be circulated froo. Tho Houso was *called upon to choose betweon coneidering this bill and another to legalizo the reissuo of the $44,000,000 resorve, and took up tho former., No result was roached, but it is cortain that a strong effort will be made to pass it, Thoe Houso of Ropresentatives, on thg motion of Mr. Holman, called yostorday for some in- formation that a good many poople will be glad to get. They want to know how much money hias been paid by the Government for transporta- tion of troops and military eupplies over thoso roilroads of the country which asked and got subsidios of 1and and money on the condition that thoy should perform this sorvice for the Govornmont without charge.

Flour was dull and un- that thoy woro false, and had been manufaciured by TuzTrinuneand the Commercial for political purposcs, Ho is reported to have accompanied theso arguments by s grotesque display of antics illustrativp of Senatorial logic aud dignity. Sen- ator Schurz put an end to the matter by reading tho same nows out of tho Cincinnati Gazelteand tho Infer-Ucean, leaving Benator Logan to chooso between accusing his own party organs of falachood or confessing his own folly. Grand Ohiof-Engincer Wileon, of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engincors, ono division of which gained an infamous notoriety by 1ts out- ragos in the strike a year ago on the Bt, Louis, Kansas City & Missouri Railroad, has sent Tue Trinusealetterin roply to the nows it published of tho now striko contemplated by that Or- dor. Ho doos mot deny that a strike is being planned, but cohtonts himsel? wi th tho argumont that * tho circularis in conformity to our rules, and is atl right.” Ho makes no ox- planation of the most objectionabloe part of the circular,—that which boasted of tho power of tho Drotherhood to compol railroads by force to nccedo fo its demands. In tho strike in Miesouri, just reforred to, the * Brotherhood" ran locomotives off tho tuyk, tapped water- tanks, put emory on car-axles, and throatened life by placing obstructions on the track. Is this the kind of strike it is contemplating now to compol the railroads to accede to its domands by torco™ ? A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commereial hag interviowed Judge Safford, of Hillaboro, 0., who granted tho injunction against the praying women of that town, upon the application of W. H. Dunn, the druggist, Judge Bafford did not Lesitate to declare that he granted the in- junction because the singing and praying were o public unisance. According to Judgo Safford, Dr, Dunn has ono of the largest and most coatly drug-storos in tho Btate. o has nover sold liquors to bo drunk upon the promuses, or to minors and drunkards, and his sales arc in quan- tities greator or smaller, such o8 may bo incidental to his general business. 'U'he Judge stated that thero was no objection to singing and praying when they wore conducted so a4 not to disturb private rights or publio tranquillity, and added: ‘When such worship {8 made the pretoxt of breaking up o man's lawful trade; of intorfering with the quiet and pesceful enjoyment of Lis own proporty; of bringing bim into public ridiculo and disgrace; of de- foming his calling and charactor, and this without in- tormiselon for alx conseoutivo weoks in the storms and cold of winter, creating heartburnings among nefgh- Lors, defamation of privato chiaracter, and an unsete tlod stato of soclety,—that, sir, {a a nuisance, The Judgo might wavo added that the man who gots €50 & day for wging womon to do this Lind of buainces i8 a greater nuisaucoe still, Tho now Govorumont 1n Toxas finds itsolf conslderably ombarrassed, Thore s mot a dollar in the Troasury, and all tho money be- louging to the schiool fund, to the several elnk- ing funds, and oli other spacial funds, has boen used to pay current expenses, A very large amount of Btats warrants have beon {esuoed, but their amount cannot bo ascortained. There isan Inatallmout of interost on tho Btato debt falllng due in Maroh, for which thero is nomoncy in tho Trossury, Thore I8 no fund to pay tho exponses of the Loglslature, The Governor recommends the Immediate ascertnlnmout of the outstanding dobt, aud tho prohibition of the {ssue of any more warrants, Whilo ho advises that the Btate pay Intorest on the outstending floating debt untll such timo aa tho Siate can ralgo tho rovenue with which to pay it, he in- isty that hoconfter tho polioy of Pay s you go" bo strictly ndhored to, and that no oxpendl- ture be suthorized without provision belug made for tue needed revenue, Tho rotirlug officors loft thq booke aud accounts of thelr sovoral dopariménts in groat confusion, The intention of tho Loglslaturo is to pay off the debt as rapldly as possible, reduco oxpondituros, contract no moro dobt, and put taxation down to tho minimum, THZ BEN' OF RATFERTY, Tho offort making in thia city to obtain from Gov. Bovorldgo s commutation of the sontonco of Christopher Rafforty is a movement in tho direct Intorost of crime and disorder, and should bo sternly discountenanced by every law-nbiding citizon who hus tho good namo and well-belng of thoocity at heart, In view of tho bratal and horrible crimo which this man committed, aud tho circumstances which have attonded his numorous triale, this organizod and deliborate offort to thwart the oporation of justico iascarco- ly less than & orino Lhulf. It is a Llow at the poace of tho city, an announcoment to ihe de- pravod clags of tho community that the flat of tho law, although pronouuced over and over again, hios no binding force, and & promium to crime of overy description. Nearly two yoars have now boon oxhiauated in tho offort to save this man Rafforty from the fate which his dreadful crime so absolulely mor- its. Mo bLna had three trials, in which ho bas boen dofended by eminent logal counsel, and in overy ono of thoso trinls ho has been found guilty without the slightest cavil upon thd part of the jurfos, As thers could bo no quostion raised ns to tho fact of the murdor, nud no evi- donco which was introduced palliatod its atrooity or brought & single doubtupon the want of prov- ocation which charactorized it, his counscl, with raro logal acumon, oxhausted tho techul- calitios of tho law in his defonss, Whatever doubts there may liave beon arising from tho facts thomsolves, or from tho purely logal ns- pacta of tho case, wore adroitly used for his bon- oft. In tho faco of this comploto do- fonse, ho waa threo timos found guilty. Twico tho Supromo Court - remanded, tho cago on technical orrors, which boing corrocted, the Supreme Court reviowed the entiro evidence, and, declaring that the verdict was warranted by it, fixed tho time for tho operation of the son- tonco. Under such extraordinary circumstancos 8 thoso, i it anythiug losa than o hollow mock- ory and contempt of justico to call upon the Governor to sot asido tho results of yoars of effort to convict & murderor, to ignore the rulings of tho lower Courts aud the decisions of the Bupremo Court, after every suthority hns boen oxhaustoed, and call upon him to decide tho lssuo? But tho eago hos a still deopor sigdificance than thie. It i8 not simply shall Christopher Rafferty pay the penalty of tho law ho has vio- Iated, so that justico may bo vindicated and murdor not go unpunished, 'Fho safoty of tho cltizons of thfa city from violenco doponds upon the punishment of Rafforty. If he is allowed to go unexccutad, then tho roughs and brutes havo o right to infor that *‘hanging is played out,” and that they may give unrostrained vont to thelr brutal passions’ without cndangering thoir own lives, If murder is to. involve only & Jjournoy to Joliet, from which they msy return at some fature day, then murdor will sgon become of frequent occurrenco, and mo man will bo able to toll when his lifo is eafo. Perhaps evon more significant than this {s the fact that it is not only the lifo of tho citizen which ia to bo protocted, but tho lives of those mon who stand between the orderly snd digorderly clomént of the community. It ina question not only whether tho safely of the citizen ehsll be gueranteed, but also whether the policeman who protecta the citizen shall bo eafo, If Christophor Rafforty is not hanged, it is virtually notifying not only tho roughs of Bridgeport, but of overy othor part of the city, that thoy are at liberty to kill soy policcman who interferes with thom or attompts to stop thom in thelr war ogainat tho commuoity. This will be the direct offect of auy.clemency at this timo; and, in addition to this, it will so weaken the efficiency of the polico force thnt tho commu- nity will be more than over exposed to the bru- tality of these ruffians, In what wo have said, we have indicated to Gov. Boveridge tho senti- mont of the peaceful and law-abiding citizons of Chicago, snd thoy will oxpeot of him in this emergenoy that he will not set himeolf above publio sentiment, nor abovo the docision of the bighest legal tribnual in tha Btate, but will allow Juatico to take its coureo, RAILROAD LEGIBLATION IN WISCONSIN, The Leglalaturos of Wieconsin and Miunesota aro likely to pass pro-rata, or non-diseriminat- ing, railroad froight bills. It has boon claimed, and is probably truo, that the passage of the Illi- nois Railrond law operated to the advantage of Milwaukeo and to tho dotriment of Chicago, enabling, as it did, the Milwaukee railroads to carry froight from the northern counties of this Btate at such rates as thoy chose, while the Chi- cago roeds vore required to carry by a uniform schedulo, It the Wisconsin Legislature now onact & similar law, we shall have an opportunity to seo whether sauce for the gooso is also sauce for the gander. No legislation ennocted in Wis- consin can operato on freight passing from Wis- congin to Illinois or from Illinols to Wisconsin. The Supreme Court of the United States de- cided that point in tho Reading Railway case. The Chicago & Northwestern Railroad can carry froight from Western Wisconsin to Chicngo for a song if they choose, despito any law of Wisconsin, whilo the Milwaukee & 8t. Paul Company will bo compelled to raiso their rates on every mile from Milwaukeo wontward, As regards freight from Minuesotn, tho two roads will be on an equal footing, Both of them can carry wheat from tho west sido of the Missiseippl River for whatever price thoy ploaee, whilo the MilwaukeoRoad may bo forced by law to chargoa higher rato from the cnst bank of that stream, Tho object of passing a pro-rala law in Minneeota is not oloar, unless it Do to kill Duluth ; and that would seom to be work of superorogation, Thoro is anothor reason why the Stato of Wis- cousin should * go slow” in passing such laws, Wisconsin is not over-suppiled with railways, Even now we hear a loud ery from the Bt. Croix Valley for a company to take that long-delayed land-grant, and bulld o rosd for thom, Tho Wisconsin Ooniral, & really moaritorious Company, which Inveated $1,800,000 1n pald-up stock bofore it over sold a bond, has come to s stand-still, Greon Boy and Bheboygan ave struggling to obtain western rallway connectionss The northern and northwestern portions of the State ato yot undoveloped, and it Iu too early to adopt apolloy which will discourage, if it doss not absolutely detor, foroign capital from coming in, Wo do not bellove that monsy cau be ob- talued to build railroads in any Btate whore pro-rata legislation provails, The atoppage of rallrond building will ba # serious , drawback to Wisconein, which fs still comparativaly & now Btate, 'Thore are somo portions of Illinofs that will have to walt for raiirond facilitios until the prosont law sball have Locomo odlous onough to worlk its own roponl, T SN .

CONTEBTED SEATS, Tho action of tho House of Reprosentatives in tho Arkansas contested olection case, yestor- day, gives a feoblo ray of hopo that tho partisan practices herotofore obtaining in contested elections may bo broken up, sithough the majority roport giving 3r. Wilshire a prima Jacieclaim to his moaf, thus sllowing him to draw back-pay from tho commencemeont of the session, was adopted. Thoro have mow boon nino of these cases sottled during the presont sossion, and in overy instance tho soata have been awarded by & purely partisan vote to the Ropublican claimant. The lst comprisos Asa Hodges, from tho Firat Arkauens Distriot, and W. W. Wilshiro, from the Third; Jobn P. 0. Shanks, from the Ninth Indisna; J, Halo Sypher, from the TFirst Loulsiana; Lionol A. Sholdon, from tho Second, and Georgo L. Bmith, from the Fourth ; John J. Davis, from the First West Virginia, and J. A, Hagans, from tho Becond. Pinchback, who claimod a seat from Louigians at large, would have beon awarded it bad he mot preforredto go to the Sonate. Of the mombers mamed in this list, thoso from West Virginia have boon given their geats abaolutoly, and tho rest are soated prima Jacie. The dobate upon tho majority and minor- ity roports in the Wilshire case, and tho subso- quent procoedings of the House, show, however, that at last thore is a disposition on the part of some Republicans to Dresk wup this infamous partisan business of giving scats to claimants simply bocause thoy aro Republicans. Although thio bolt was not sufficiently strong to dofent the majority roport, it was nono the loss significant 08 showing that hereaftor it will bo difficult for claimants to got sents upon purely partisan considorations, and that the storeotyped doctrine of * party, right or wrong," is to meot with & sharp protost in future. It is altogother probable, judging from tho tomper of tho bolt- ing Ropublicans, that Mr. Wilshire is the last claimant who will bo able, af- ter boing elected by fraudulent roturns, to go to Washington armod with the cortificato of & Governor elected by the samofraudulont voto, and got his soat becauso he is a Republican, Among nll the signs of the breaking up of in- discriminato and sbsolute party foalty, thero aro none mora encouraging than this protest from leading Republicans ngainst partisanship, and their dotormination that an honest and legal oloction alone shall entitle n man to take a seat in the House of Reprosontatives, THE INDIAN RIRG, Most Indian wars break out in tho spring. In the epring & young brave's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of scalps. The frosh grass provides abundant food for his pony ; the rations from the Agoncy will support him until massacre and plunder give him o now supply. 8o ho starts on tho war-path, eager to murder and torture the subjects of the Government that has armed and oquipped him, This yoar, howavor, deaplto the mildness of tho wintor, tho grass Las not yot shown iteclf sbovo tho ground, Marauding ‘bends must carry food for their horaes as woll as for thomsolves, A war under such ocircume stances is sn anomaly. Wheu this outbroak has boen suppressed, Congress owes it to the people, who will pay for tho suppression with money and lives, to discover tho causes ©of the unprecodonted conflict.

We bnvo submitted for many years to bo plundored by the Indian Ring, buf, when tho Ring fomonts war a8 a moans for fuvthor plunder, forbenranco ceases to be a virtuo. The caso, a8 it stands ab prosent, is, in brief, this: All roports from the frontior agree in saying that tho Indinue havo left the resorva- tiona because tho supply of food there has either slready boen, oris just about to be, oxhausted, ‘Wo happen to know that Gen.

Whon their growing power and growing discon- tont mado thelr wishes of importanco, socioty suddenly rushed to tho othor extrome, The ‘“brawny sons of toil” thencoforth divided pop- ular favor with the Amorican eagle. The sturdy, upright, sadly-oppressod laborer wns & god- send to politicians in search of & pob griovance, It was discovered that tho law of supply aud demand which ruled the wagos and tho work of all other men ( took pleasuro in tormenting tho workingman, Ho was torn from tho books lio had boon con- ning by tho glimmoring dawn, and could snatch but a fow briof hours in tho ovening for the pur- suit of thelearning ho craved, and which the tyranny of something or somobody (hera his ad- vocates grow vaguo) provented his getting. And all this, simply because Nature had or- dained that wagos should vary with tho rolation of tho demand for workingmen to the number of men wanting work, and not with the sonti- mentalists' idoa of tho amount of monoy it would be pleasant, or nice, for such mon to got. Naturo must bo robuked. The Ilaborer must bo ‘rescued from her tyraony, Hoence tho Eight-Hour law. Now that socioty be- gibs to tako s fair viow of the whole matter, boging to recognize tho fact that the workingman is meither ‘moro -nor loss, by virtuoof his occupation, than other mon, and that tho solo way of doing him permanent good ia to teach him to help himself, 1t i8 not atrange that this most unjust law should bo so- veroly criticised, It harms tho men thomselves, and tho community, It harms the men byteach~ ing them to rely on legislation instead of labor for thelr living, by uufitting them for doing a full day's work when hired by other employers, and by creating dissousions and jealousios among Jsom. When you teach a man that Congross Lias but to voto him ton hours’ pay for eight hours' work to insuro his gotting such psy, you show him the easicst and most domoralizing way of gotting something for nothing. Potsarenotapt tobe marvels of strength orcourage orany other manly oxcollonce. Making mon the pots of log- islation cannot but weslkon them. Iihas beon the testimony of very many employers that men who bad been hired by Governmont afterwards proved inefficient when required to do o fair day’s work., Nor is this m:n.ngn. No man can casily add a fourth to his regular daily task, We bavo writton advisedly of o *‘ fair day's work."” Tight hours' labor is not such a thing. DBusi- noss mon work longer. 8o do professional men, it we reckon, a8 we should, the hours they de- voto at homo to tho study of thoir specialtios. Why should muscle bemore carefully guarded from over-oxertion than mind ? Tho law broeds dissension among workingmen becauso it often liappons that half of the men engaged on somo Governmeont building got as much pay for eight .hours’ work os the othor Lalf, who aro hired by contractors, got for ton, This is a glaring absurdity. Tho law barms tho com- munity, because it makes all work done by the Governmont cost much more than it should, be- cause it favors ono particular clags, and that cor- tainly not the most deserving, at the oxponse of tho others, and bocauso it toaches workingmen, 88 wo have already said, to roly on Government inatend of on thomsclves, and 8o tends to keop thom from raising themseclves by their own manly efforts out of tho helped, and into the holping, section of socloty. ey THE TWINS.
