As for tho statoment that the browers wera getting rich, ho avorred that thoy had mado 0o mouoy last year., The saloon-keopers unani- mously resolved that they would not accopt these terms, and would pey no more than $10. Benator Thurnian opposed the commitmont of the Centeunial bill to the Appropriation Com- mittes yosterday, on the ground that to do so would be to authorize an apppropriation, and Congress had no such power, Sonator Freling- Luyson pm\;osnd .that tho Committeo bo ro- stricted to 8,000,000 Scustor Comeron gave notice that to-day e would hold the Senate down to its work till the Contounial bill was fine ished ono way or another.

Tho Iatter show an incresse of wmearly 13 por cont, The gross earnings for tho yenr wero $6,497,640.77. Thoro is a disoussion in the ro- port of the operations of the Railrond law, and, to show that the clinrgos of Illiuols railronds sro 1ot excosaive, Lo caloulation is mado that tholr entiro annual net earnings are only 614 per cont of their actual cost. Tho Railroad law of this Btate, in tho opinion of tue Directors of tho Board of Trade, has in- cronsed the oppressivonosa of tho railrond charges which it was designed to mitigate. In a memorial to the Logislature asking that the law bo altored materially, thoy say that it lns dostroyed competition betwaeon thoroads. They recommond that mensurcs bo taken to sot com- potition st work again, and, a8 more epocifio means for the protection of the public, urge that the companics bo roquired to make all tholr gchodules of charges publlo, and to submit thom to tho inspection of tho Railroad and Warohouso Commissioners. The suggestions of those gontlomon with rogard to tho correction of any rates that soem to them unjust or excos- givo should be binding upon the comprnies, and should be sustsined, if necessary, by prose- cution and pennltios. Sonator Carpenter addressed the Benato again yestorday in support of his bill for & new olec- tion in Louisicna, A now argumont was ad- vanced, loveled at the White House, In tho next Presidential clection, Benator Carpentor foresaw that thero would bo moro of o contost than thero was in 1872, Thero would bo more than one candidate, and it would bo noither wise nor prudont to loavé Loulsiana in her present unsettled condition, when her voto might decide tho olection. Ho roargued the question of the supromacy of Congress overthe mattor, and hold that a8 the right to olect thoir own ruler wasa part of tho republican government which was guarantoed toall the Btates, Congress had tho right to give Louisiana a mew election. The Supremo Court of the Btate and its Legislaturo woro in copspiracy with Kellogg. The Inttor wna uphold solely by TFederal bay- onots, and, if Congress sbould porsist in saying it could do wothing, there was no future before Louisisna but anarchy or despotism, The statement made by Tne Tnisuse, that tho Rov. Francis L. Patton, editor of the In- terior, had been brought to Chicago by Mr. Cyrus H, McCormicls, wag called in question by Mr, John Forsythe. This gentleman declared, in a communication racently published in Tug TninuNg, aud a8 one having authority, that, in tho olection of Mr. Patton to the Chair of Didactic and Polemio Theology in tho Presby- torian Theological Beminary of the Northwest, #Mr, McCormick had no voico whatever." This deolaration, while it iy literally true, con- voys an erroneous impression., We have sinco loarned the facts in tho case. The clection was made by the Directors of the Seminary, of which body M. McCormiok waa not ‘s mombor. Ho could, thorofore, have had no legal voice!in the oleotion, Mr. McCormicl waspresent at the meeting of the Board, howaver, and was allowed, by courtesy, to msko o fow romarke. In avail- ing himeolf of this privilege, Mr. McCormick suggested tho namo and recommonded tho cloc- tion of Mr. Patton. Mr. Patton, was thereupon olected without more ado. The Board accepted Mr, McCormick's indorsoment, and did not re- sorvo the timo mor tako the troublo to inform themselves concorning the qualificationa or characteristicsof Mr. Patton, who was a stranger ‘o tho members of the Board. Mr. Forsythe #ys nothing about JIr. Patton’s connection with the Interior. It I8 @ fact, however, that, im- mediately after the election of M. Patton to the Professorship, Mr, McCormick secured the con- trol of tho Inlerior, aud, 0 soon sa it passed into iy possossion, Prof, Patton was made cdi- tor of tho concern. And this, we tako it, fully Jjustitles the statomont that the Rov, Francis L. Patton was imported from Drooklyn by Mr. Cyruy H, McCormicls, ‘The following communication was sent tous s day or bwo ago, and was placed by ue in a pile of twonty ox thirty others for insortion as soon ny wo could wake room for thom, On Tuesday the writer, whose uamo is appended, sent a noto to this oflice sayiug that if it was not to be printed “to-morrow ™ [Wednesdsy] ho would thanl us to roturn it to him.

JOENSON'S CARD, The only thiog in the T¥mes which can bo tak on aa o roply to Dr., Johneon's card is an anon- ymous communication, ovidently written by Mr. Btorey himself, entitled '*The Wrotoh Un- masked,” which ronds as follows : THE WRETOH UNMASKED, To the Editor : If thero over wasnman in Chicago who doubted that H. A, Johnson murdered tho wife of Wilbur F. Btoroy, that man doubtano longor, 1f thoro aver was a mon who doubted thaf Johinson willfully took from 1ho Rellof Fund monny intended for tho poor, ond with that monoy went to Zurope, to live n luxury, thot man doubts no longer, Tho man who would go down into tha grave of o woman loved and respocted whilo living, and cast upon hier nnmo such foul aspersions as Dr, Jobmson docsin Tt TRIBUNE of to-day, would nok only murder the sife of hia most cherishiod friend, but wonld cast hisown wife intoa brothel for ilthy lucre, Shame on the wretch bearing the name of H, A, John. son, Is thoro s woman {n Chicogo who will permit such a viilaln to durken her doorway ? A Cmicago, March 3, 1874, Teaving out of sight the attacks mado by Mr. Storoy upon tho lving and tho doad, both male and fomalo, for that has alwaya beon his stook- in-trado, lot us re-examine the caso as bolween himeolf sud Dr, Johnson oxclusively. Tor o year past, Mr. Btorey his been pursuing Dr. Johnson publicly and privately like a flond, He has pubtished scurrilous articles about him, and has written lolters virtually threatening to assagainate him—lottors which would havesorved ag tho busis of sn iodictment if Dr. Jobnson had chosen to lay them boforo the Grand Jury. Mr. Btorey Led acoused him of murdor, Al these thinga pnesed by unnoticed, until Mr, Storoy turned upon bis (John- son's) friends because thoy wero his friends, In his papor of last Sunday, ho 1nquired how many membors of the Relief and Aid Socioty wero supporting their mistresses with rolief money. ‘This was au assault upon the reputa- tion of every female employo of the Soclaty. And yet n former attacho of the Times, now oditing the Milwaukee Sentinel, affects to bo shocked ot Dr. Johngon's card] He ovidently considera the reputation of the desd moro im- portant than that of the living., As he never learncd that fine distinction in the Times office, he must have dorived it from his inner consclons- ness, ‘Whatever Dr. Johngon might think of tho at- tncks upon himself, o eays in his published card that ho could not allow any blows aimed at himsolt to fall on the heads of others. In this card ho suppressed nothing which, in his judg- mont, had a boaring upon the medicsl aspects of the case andupon the sccusntion of homicido preferred against himsolf. This frankness was pointed enough to insare that Mr, Fairbaok and the other pentiemon of tho Reliof and Aid Bo- cloty, and the fomalo employes thoreof, should no longer be made tho targots of Mr, Storey's blackguardism, and thus the vicarious sufferera for any offenses of his (Johnson's). Thiswos an act of moral heroism, sans peur el sans repracfln. Those who know Dr. Jobnson and bis modess and retiring hobits will best appreciate it, ‘While Dr. Johnson was ovideutly actuated by no other motive than to ghield his friends from unmerited and wanton sbuse, he has in- cidontally done tho community an Important servico by rondering it impossiblo for the Times over to do anybody else any harm by suything it may say. That newspapor is now impotent, Dr. Johnson has plucked out tho adder's fork and thrown it into the cauldron along with the blind worm’s sting and other ingredionts, For a ciarm of powerful troublo, ZLike s hell-broth boil and bubble, THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE MAN, Tho Northwestern Christian Advacate has the effrontery o defond the unseemly and swindllug advertisoments and ronding matter which it pub- lishes, on the ground that it recoives them from an advertisiug sgont in whom it has confidence, and on the furtlier ground that tho writer of its editorials works for a salary and has no control over its advertising columns, ‘This is oquivalent to saying that its advortising conscionco is com- mitted to an advertising agont, while its editorial congciencoe 18 committed to Alr. Arthur Edwards, and has o dealings with the other concern, Al- though the advertising sgont roferrad to is also the advertieing agent of some of the quack dootors rocently hauled up by Mr. Anthony Comstock,© wo have more ro- spect for his consclence than for the editorial conkcionce of the Advocate.

THE REVOLT IN MASSACHUBEITS, The party pross of othor States must bo dis- gusted with the way theparty pross of AMassachu~ setts koops on growling about Bimmons and pro- testing agninet Grant, The Springfield Union, which was started a8 an organ of unquestioning loyalty when the Republican throw off the fot~ tora of party, saya: 1f the Republican party of Massachusctis fu worthy of longer life, tho consummation of this outrage on the people of tho State by the President, at the dicta- tion of Gen. Butler, will rousot to show its worthi~ noss by its actions, and the prosont victory of Butler and his gang will only serve to muke their final defeat more complote, Think of & once-loyal journal that calla the Progidont o momber of a gang! It goeoon to say that it Butler is honcoforth to rmu the party, “tho Republican party of the future will be ‘very much smaller than the Republican party of tho past.” The Boston Adverfiser has & lachry~ moso editorial, in which itsays: Tho Admiulstration has takon a faléo step and must Totraco!t. Woaro at fssuo with tho Administration ot this polnt; lot us not attompt to disguiso tho fact, Massachusetis {8 Ropublican, and nothing con alter her political allegianco but the success of the policy to ‘which the Presidont aud a minority of the Republican Bonate have rashiy committed themselves, The Boston @lobe, which supported Grant en- thusiastically in 1872, now spoaks of him and of tho lomlers of the party in this way: They have eeen the President of tho United Blates tho willlug tool of one mau. They have discovered that all Lis professions of Civil-Service Reform are but the meaningless clatter of a politiclan. Thoy have seen him deacend from his high placo and act the part of a lobbyist, Thoy have learned that bis one rule of conduct ia to befriond thoss who befrlend Lim; thot he makes of tho immeuss patronage at his disposal s hiuge gift onterprise; that he §a not their leadors that thore {8 & power behind himj that that power1s Gen.

It ends with the sentonce: “Massachusetts Re- publicans, ‘choore ye thia day whom yo will sorve,'” Tho New Bodford Standard docen't waut to givo up the old party yot. It bolioves that Simmons’ confirmation was owing to the efforts of crafty Demacrats who wanted to split the sneme®s ranks, This §s but cold comfort, In Worcaster County, the **heart of the Com- monwealth” and the hhthplnu_o of Ropublican~ ism, the revolt threatons to become a revolution. ‘Tho Worcester Spy, the firat notable Free-Soil paper in the country, which oarried the county with it when it took a new departure in1848, says it wishes to support tho Republican cause, but it adds: ‘We mean to do what we cun to defeat Gen, Butler Tiero in Massachusotts, in the Republican party if pos- eible, out of if, if wemust, Tho namo and associa- tions of tha Republican party Ae valuable, and not to ‘be lightly thrown away, but, whatever it 1s callod, the party guided snd mansged by Blmmons and his mas- ter is not the party for us, The Spy doubts whether it is time to organize a now party, but says there is room forit. The ‘Worcester Gazelle, hitherio Republican, pro- claime that it is now *not bound to any organi~ zation. . . .

Ho could not, thoretore, sperk for the Association, but simply for himself as on individual brower. Ho Si(] not boliove that tho brewors would submit to another reduction, ho having dove his best to induco thom at their last meeting to sall Iager-beer during the summer at 811. He was _willing to eoll it for that prico, provided tho enloon-keepers would = pay eash for their beer, snd not mix the remnants, Ho also atated that the custom of having tho drivers treat when thoy carried around tho beer was, also, & source of great expeuse to tho brewerd. FACTS, Mr. Abrabams douounced tho brewers in strong terms for their action, stating that the saloon-keepars had to toil for thom like slaves, without boing ablo to oarn a living for them! selves, Ho had no objection to paying tho in- croase, but it was a well-known fact that a bar- rol which ehould contain thirty-one gallons nover contalnod over twenty-cight. Tho saluon- keopers had suffered severely during the last year, while the brewers had grown rich.

Mr. Brand seid that it took considerablo trouble to induco the brewers to come down 81 until Mey, and bo did not think it probable that any furthor concosslons sould bo mado, Brow- erd had beon accused of having grown rich; he could sssuro thom that they made no money durlng last yeor.

Motzmoved that o committeo of five bo appointed to consult with thae brewers, snd arrange somo kind of a compromise. A gentloman moved that five womon bo ap- pointad to wait upon the browors and pray for thom. _[Laughtor and applauso.] Mr. Vogel said ho had a son in tho browing business at Milwaukeo, who had informed him that it only costs $8.60 to manufacture a barrel of lagor-boor. o could seo no roason why the browors hore should not folicw the noble cxam- plo of the browers of Cinciunati, Mr. Korn was of the opinion that tho saloon- koepors conld not bo_ united, and that ench should do a8 ho deomed bost.
