Uhe Chicayy Tdibune, Tuesdsy Morning, March 17, 1874, The Michigan House of Roprosontatives, with great enthusiasm, havo passed to a third read- ‘mg the articlo of the new Constitution putting iho quostion of woman suffrage to s scparato rote by the people. Tho voto stood 5 to 21, An appropriation of 30,000 for the improve- nent of the mouth of the Mississippi, ns reo- smmended by the Commerce Committeo, was spproved by the House of Roprosuntatives yestorday, Every little helps; but the only profitable way to expend this mite is in finding yut which of tho various schemos proposed will songume tho fewost millions. — e Benator Stewart may save himuelf the troublo »f declining the Ohairmanship of tho District of Jolumbia Investigating Committae, as it was said iho other dsy Lo meant to do, The Committeo anve unauimously decided that Senator Car- Jonter, noting-Prosident of tho Senate, bad no #ight to namo the Prosident of the Committeo. Chat {s thoir priyilego, and 1t is likely that thoy #ill cnoose Representative Wilson, though Sen~ itor Allison is strongly favorod. Secretary Belknap does not wait for tho How- ird Court-Martial to try the Commissioner of }ho Froedmon's Burcau, but obligingly gives him uls privato vordict of acquittal in advance. Gon. Howard was guilty of no intontional wrong. Ho 1id, no doubt, misappropriate $76,000 of the noney of tho Bureau, but then this was a *tach- afcal” fault, and other officers of the Govern- nent do the samo thing. Hence *‘Not guilty,” ieys tho moralist and logician of the War Do- partmont. E Through the well-direoted offorts of the Sun- lay.

An autopsy of tho romunins was made in tho morning, and failed to show that any tracos of Proston Brooks' asssutt remained in the brain, A meeting of colored mon was hold in this city Inst ovening to testify tho rospeot of the raco forits great champlon, and resolutions wero adopted looking to the co-operation of all tho colored people in the country in the srection of & monument to him, ] True to Napoleonis tradilion, Napoleon IV. calls for auother plebiscile. Ho mado a spocch at Chisollurst to tho 6,000 Fronch peoplo who eamo to congratulato: him on his 18th birthday vestorday, in which bo praised the loyalty of MacMahon, but said that tho irrcsistible our- rontof public opinion called for & plebiscite, and bo was willing to sccopt its vordict. Singular storios have been aflont some time sbout the action of the Government, whose .agents, for instance, have boen disttibuling photographs of tho young Prince through Pro- vineial France, Putting together theso and the very doterminod effort of MacMahon to get rid of Gambotts, who would be likely to give Napoleon IV, a new kind of baptism of fire, it Tooks very muoh a8 if tho present Governmont and the Bonapartists understood one another too woll for their country'’s good. : Boss Shepherd made a ruoful comparison in his communication to the Distfiot of Columbia Invostigating Committeo botweon tho expondi- tures for tho improvemont of the District made by tho National and the Local Government. Ho thought restiution ought to be mado to tho District Trensury. A bill fins boon sub- mitted to tho Houso by the Dalogato from tho District lo moet this point. Ho ~would have Government property in the District taxed liko that of individuals. Tho difforouce betwoen tho appropriations of tho two Govornmonts sinco 1800 for District improvoments, which is against tho Fed- Fedoral Treasury, is to bo restored to the Dis- trict for tho rodemption of its debt.

O'Brion pesses Congress, the groat National Livery Stable and Intelligonce Offico at Wash- ington will be broken up. It declares any pub- lic officor, who usea publie property for privato purposes, to be guilty of embezzlement and liable to romoval from bis place, and to bo pun- ishod by law. To sot up a private laudaulet or other vehicle at tho public expense, or to put any Governmont soldier’ or other employe into livery or at private work, is & misdemenuor, kind, Nobody in the House of Representntives was in the mood for doing anythig yostordsy. At the evening session only ocight members wore on band. Thore was & quorum present during the day, but no appeals of the Speaker could induco them to vote one way or another on the bill be- fore them to establish a National Board of Health. Porbaps thoy thought the nationnl gealth would bo s great deal snferif Congross lat it alone. At nll events, after fooling away tho whole day, nothing was done but to refer ke momontous matier to next Monday's calen- lar. Mr. Hesing sends us a card to the effect that a8 spoech at tho caucus of the Paople's Party #88 not correctly reported. As the caucus was secrot, this is altogether likely. The Staats- Zeilung finds tho othor spacches wore corroctly reported, and it talies oceaston to charge that Tz I'ninuse intentionally misroprosonted Mr, Hes- Ing. It is evident from Mr. Heaing's card that be does not think so. We presume that Mr. Hesing s8id mnothing in the caucus which ho would not say to Mr, Colvin's face. He admits anying that Mr. Colvin did not keep his word, and Lo probably would not hesitate to tell Mr, Oolvin g, , . April 2 was fixed lnst ovening by the Trustees of MecQarthy's chiuroh as tho date of o business meoting of tho congregation to considor the quoestion of the dissolution of tho ralations botweon the pastor and the church. The meoting was vicious and turbulent to an extent that recent exporionce would in- dicato could only be attained by an ecclesiantical body, The coming Congregational Counecil in New York will neod to display unusual dignity to atono for the offenses of the Episcopalinn and Baptist brothren. Tho only eccular as- scmblage that could fairly be considered to approach tho Trusteos’ moetiug of last evoning Io offensivenoss would be the Common Council of this city. The notion of the Mayor and Comptroller in nllowing tho Gaa Companios of this city 883,000 sbove the coniract prico, at the last settlement, ‘was the subject of some resolutions offered in the Common Couucil last ovening.

'he resolu= tions wero referrod to tho Committoo on Gas- light.

It has long been matter of mnotoriety, as charged by Mr. Wheeler in the dobate on the Army bill, that the soldlers of the army wera misused in the way forbidden by this bill. THE WOMEN'S CRUSADE AND THE PEO- PLE'S PARTY. The church-women moved on the Common Counoil last night in the lino of battle already sunounced, aud with results no botter nor wors., than might havo been expected. They did nob acliievoa victory, for thoir purpose was to defeat tho now Sundny ordinance, which wes passed in splto of their prayorful potition and their carnest demeonnor, They did not suffor a compiete rout, beenuse they returned to thoir assembly-place and rosolved to go on with their work with re- nowed vigor. Our local columns present a panorawna of the sconea iucidout to the move-~ mout, which are altogether uniquoe in & large city like Ohicago. During ‘the day, various meotings wore held Ly tho ministers of several Evangelical churchies, in which open sympatby was expressed with the work undertaken by the Chicago women, though thero wau nothing like an approval of the Obio erusude, or a disposition to adviso its adoption hero. About 200 of the women who agiomblod ot Mothodist Church Block yes- torday aftornoon proceeded to tho Common Council Chambor ay early as 6 o’clock, and there pationtly awaited the hour of meeting,—quiet, solf-posacesed, unsensational, aud coneclous of good 1ntentions, They presouted s petition: signed by 16,000 womeu, snd bt ane man in tho Council was found mean-gpirited enough toraisa bis volos agninet ite roception, Ald, Hildreth claimed this digtinction, and sought to fmpress Iug littleness upon tho community by making a couple of stumbling end asinine spcochos, Fortunntely for the roputo of the Coune cil, his confreres ot tho .People's Party showod botter judgment, if thoy had no kindlier fooling, than Hildroth, and the petition was re- ceived ; the addross of Mrs, Smith, Presidont of the Women's Meoting, yaa heard, and both wore cntered of record In the proccodings. Aside from Hlildroth'’s unscemly bleating, tho women wero troated in tho Council-room with ss much respeot as could bave boon oxpeoted in a place unaccustomed to their prosence, crowded with curious mon, half-filled with tobacco-smoke, and rodolont with rominisconses of politieal bum- merism, Not 60 outslde the Coun- cil Olambor, 'The police allowed tho corridors +of the City Hall to fll up with loafors, who hooted and joered when tho Indies went away one by one, and when tho re- maindor left in a body, Tho police apparently made no offort to suppress this disgrncetul domonstration, Bo far as Ohloago is concorned, 1t was nothing more than would bave happonod in auy largo eity, whiera the Ollef of Police Is _THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1874. caroloss of his forco's ropute and the fair famo of tho community. The women's movoment horo has boen doco- rous a8 well as earncst; and to that oxtont thoso wlio hinvo organizod and taken part in it aro entitlod to rospect, Dut it hins also been im- prraticable. Tho now ordinance-authorizing the #ale of liquor on Buiday was passed immediato- 1y aftor tho potition and address had beon hoard. It was ovident from tho outset that this ‘would bo the rosult. Dut tho wom- on mny also ochorlsh tho sntisfaction of knowing that thoy woro in at the doenth of the Peoplo's Party ; for this immodiately suceoodod tho pnssage of the ordinance so objectionablo to them, In spite of thocholce of Mr, Hosing's caucus Saturday eventug, and in spito of a unity of nction amony thoso who romainaed truo to tho Poople's Party, tho caucus candldato was do- feated, and Arthur Dixon chogon Proaident of the Council.

The man who follows two such statosmon should bo a states- man bimsolf. I¢ tho Legislature appreciatas that ‘patent fact ns thoroughly as the Statepress scems to do, two-thirds of tho candidates now in the tlold might as well save themsolves from great trouble and cortain defeat by publishing cards of withdrawal. Butler's rotiromont rocoives this unkind notico from the Worcoster Gazelte : Gen, Butlor 3 kind enouzh to promptly inform a broathless country that he does not proposs to step at onceinto tha ghoes of Senator Bwuaner, We should like tosco bim try. The Gazlte will doubtless lave its wish granted when the next vacanoy ocours. DButler's friouds say ho will be olected Governor moxt November **in epito of all tho descona and dovils inthe Btate.” It is sometimes an oany stop from Govarnor to Sonator, as Oglesby Lug shown us and as Boveridge hope to show us., If a Butlor man, or s man who will keop the peace with But- fer, stops Into Sumnor's shoos now, thoso ehoos will be apt to be fitted on his patron's foot mext March. If such a man is choson, the respectablo Ropublicans of Messachusetts, who have boen flercely saying that if Republicanism means But- loriem thoy will surely bolt, will be called upon to fulfill that direful promiso, The party press, howevor, does not mean to suffer that dreadful if to ripon into a fact. The Boston Advertiser thinks tho choice will bo confined to threo men;—Charles Francls Adams, Judge Hoar, and BMr. Dawes, Other Republican papers add the namoes of the trio of Governors, Washbuen, Bullock, and Olif- ford, and Dr. Loriug, Robort 0. Winthrop, who fillod Webstor's unexpired torm and was de- featod for.re-clcction by Bumner, Congress- men Piorco, Gon. Banlks, Joshua B, Smith, John E. Sanford, Spoalor of the House, and Charlos Francis Adame, Jr. By collating & number of oditerial opinions, we find that tho choiceis belioved to lio botwoen Pierco, Honr, Dawos, Banford, nnd tho Adamsos, fathor and son, Of those, all but Dawes are pronounced anti-Butlar men. The Boston correspondent of the Spring- flold Republican says that tho causes which dofonted Dawos last year, plus his singular silence during the Simmons squabblo: ‘\‘illdol’ont hin now. He could ill bo spared from tho House, though it would ba o gain to the country if his transfor to tho Senatoshould froe him from his unfortunate subservienoy to the politicinn of the evil oyo. He cannot but feel that ne 18 now out of placo in tho leading strings of that demagogue. Apparently theona thing lacking to make him a statesman is mauly independence.+ A seat in tho Senate might give him this, or something that would pass for it. The Republican thnks that Piorco’s support will be abeorbed by Judge Hounr. It is argued against tho latter that he would onter the Benato with bitter foclings sagainst tho men who kopt lim off the Supremo Bench, and would thus be prevented frem heartily co-operating with tho party. Ho is a scholar, o gentloman, snd a moderately indopendent man. The State might go Iarthor and fore worse, John E. Sanford is . young man, which ig o strong point in his favor. ‘Thero is noed ot young blood in the Senato. Ife is o pronounced foo to Lutler, which is prima Jacia prook of honosty. Ho ia better known than Sumner wes whemw Maseachusotts asked: “ Who i the new Senator, anyhow ?" Tho two Ad- amees need no encomium. Both have a nation- al roputation, the elder an international ono. DBoth have studied statesmauship, Both are original thinlkors. DBoth arc of that high typo of culturo which has made Massachu- sotts tho only Btate to give its namo to & echaol of thought. Probably neithor of thom is sub- servient enough to party ties to bo an available candidate. Thoe older Adnms and ox-President Waolsey uro the ablest intornational jurists in the country, Tho younger hies the advantago of boiug the younger. If he wero electod to the Sonate now, his careor thero might bo s long and as honornblo as that of either of his pro- decessory. NOW AND THEN., Now while there is no man, friond or enemy, who doos not pause to pay rospect to the mom- ory of Charles Bumner, whilo his bittorest pohit- ical oponents are writing their admiration of his manly chnracter and his consclentious and un- compromising defonse of what he believed to bo right, it iy ourious to look back and read tho commonts of the Boston press at the timae o was first clected Bouator over Mr. Winthrop, T'ho Boston Adverliser said: 1t iy tho grosacst outroge upon tho feolngs of tho sanfority of tho poople of tho Btate, by s combinution between two miuorities, which we have kuown to be porpotrated fn suy of tho States of tho Union, Wo rogard the ovent a8 & most uufortunate ouo for tho roputation of the Stato, and ono which must paralyza it nfluonco in tho councils of the Unlon and in sus- tainiug a courss of leglelation tending to Larmouize tho dissensions which avo ko Jong dlsturbed the quict of the country, The Courier had tho following dismal jore- miad; g ‘We neod hardly say that the election of AMr, Sum- ner wlil bo regrotted by all who wish the Blate of Mas- eachusctts to stand white sbe Las atood, nobly and firmnly fized in her loyalty o tho American Union, The Atlas, althoughnot indulging in invective, rogrottod tho mattor in this wiso: Wo Liave from tho bealnning opposed tho eloction of Mr, Sumuer, Wo boliovo that tho Legiulaturo has wado o mistalio $u elooting i1, Thougl u gentloman of talents and charactor, Lo $s ot the man_ beat suitod to reprosent Mussachusetts in the Sonate of tha United Blatoa, Wa are uot awure of any acts of hia which yo- quiro psyment at & prios so great, . e fs. 4 known scholar more than & ststesman, Ho has studied the ‘world 1o the clossty thiroughi the medium of books, He 1ine mingled Uitlo in overy~day life, Ho fa & theoriat, and viows tho world through the medium of tho fmagi- ‘nation and not throngh tho storn realition of life, In & word, wo bellevo him to boan “mpracticable’ "Tho Post grow savago, aa fallovn: A Whig, who refuscd to support Gen, Taylor becauno Do was not Whig onough ; an sgltator, who would sacrifico the mnfaly of thio Unfon by nggravating sec- tional animosity ; an Abolitiontst, who would troat tho Iawn of tho Conatitutional Logialnturo of his country an tho colontata did the oppreasive edicta of 8 tyranni- eal power !

THE RHODE ISLAND ELEOTION. The New Hampsbiro olection bhaving been dofinitely sottled, it s timo to consider tho next one, which takes place in Rhode Island on Wodneaday, Apiil 1. In that Btato, howaver, thoy hiave such s snug, easy way of conduoting elections that vory little public intorest attaches to it, although the result will as usanl be herald- ed as o groat victory for somebody. It ia locally understood to be the Bprague Manufac- turing Company's year in politics, and the Providenco Journal, in behalf of the Brown & Ives Manufacturing Company, romarks that © the eleotion Is to Inck tho exoite- ment of a contest”; in othor words, Brown & Ives politely send their messengor to the Sprague Manufactuing Company, with tho election on a sulvor, and present it with thoir complimonts,— an amenity whioch will be reciprocated next yoar by the Bpragues. Hitherto these great com- panies bavo fought the eloction tooth and nail und spont & great doal ot monoy, but thoy have found it cheaper of lato years to compromiso on sltornato innings, This arrangoment also gives to ‘the party” san appesrance of perfeot harmony and ovorshelming strongth, sud gunraotoos the purity of cloctions, which used to bo notably corrupt sud expensive, and perpotuates tho political dynastics of Seuntors Sprague and Authody without * tho excitoment of o contost.” Tho usual issue which has been uppermost in Rhodo Island politics, namoly, whether the descendants of Rogor Willinms shall fish 1n the placid Beokonk with rod and line, or catch tho scup and tautog with pound nets, is not iuvolved in the present campaiga. The canvass will therofore bo barren of much oloquence on the fish quostion. What it laclks in thia dirootion, bowaver, will bo mado up by tho intorest which will bo arousod on the tempor- ance quostion, as the Probibitionists will make & contost on the Lioutenont-Governor. What poa- siblo connection with or inflaence upon the temperanco quostion a Lieutonant-Governor can have, wé don't know, but it is nevertholess true that the only contest will bo on this candidate. Mennwhilo, we are prepared on All Fools' Day to hear from Riiodo Jsland flattering roports from another groat victory, achieved by the Sprague party, it boing thoir yoar. THE CONGREGATIONAL CAMPAIGN, Tho misgive of the Chiurch of the Pilgrims and the Clinton Avenue Congrogational Cinreh, sum- moniug the great Council to test the orthodoxy of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, is hardly out be- fore the flrut gun is heard from tho other side. 1t is no muskot, but n columbiad of mammoth oalibre, firing with a force and acouracy which shows that the contoat will not be child’s play. ‘Tho Beecher blood is up, and there is ‘svery evi- denco that Henry Ward will not bo alone in tho fight, but that numorous adherents will rally round his banner of independonco nnd progross ond aid bim in the fight against Now England conservatism, as represented by Storrs and Bud- dington, Tho first gun of the campaign to which we have alluded is & lotter from tho Rev. Edwerd Deechor, in which ho ezamiues the action of Plymonth Church in dropping Mz, Theodoro ‘Tilton from its membership without prosecuting tho chargos mado agaivet him, not so much to dofend the action of the church as to wamn the necusors that choy are ostablishing o dangerous precedont, This is thoonly phaso of the contest which Dr, Boochor takos up, but ho goes into tho mnttor very thoroughly, and, that our roadors may understand the drift of his investigation, wa briofly state the question at issuo, Mr. Til- ton dselared ho wasnot a membor of thoe church, and bad lofb it nearly four yoars previous to tho proferring of tho oharges, Accopting this stato- ment a8 o faot, Plymouth Cburch struck his name from tho rolts and did not prosecuto tho charges made against him. Tho acousing ohurchos aesort that be was atill o momber, and dony the right or the power of any membor to withdraw without a consonting act of tho chureh, This is the caso conciscly stat- éd, aud in tho cowmse of his lot- ter Dr. DBoochor makes the following strong points ngaiust tho position of tho assail- ants: 1, The principlo which thoy afiirm is not contained in tho Bible, and, if it fs not in tho Biblo, thon it s no part of the Congrogational systom. The practico of a stringout covenant, oxcluding a right to withdraw from tho chureh, 1s not only not found thore, but thero ia nothing said of & covenant at all.

Important chnnges wers made in tho conatitution of tho Order. Tho Bupreme Coun- cil, which was to be formed next Janunry, was abolishoed,—Xilled before it was bérn, This was done in deferonco to the West. The President, Mr. Earlo (the imposing titlo of Grand Master has boen discarded), found, during his recont Westorn trip, that the ‘workingmen regarded tho Supromo ,Council as sn aristocratio ides, n schemo to kenp the control of tho Order in afow hands. Hence its fate. Moreover, State Coun- cils were authorized inall Btatesin which ton Subordinate Councila sro proviously formed. The Illinois 8tato Council will bo organized within a weok or ten days. Tho voxed quostion of memborship was soltled by the adoption of the following section: Any person ongaged fn_industrinl pursutts, not un- dor 16 years of ago, of good chiaracter, and having no intorests fn conflict with tha purposes of thix Ordor, shal bo oligiblo to mombership, and no, distinctions In regard to rights and privilegos of memborship shiall bo mado by this Councll, or by & Stato or Subor- dinato Councll, on account of sox, creed, race, or na- tionality.

His persistence in sup~ porting it, dospito the opposition of his superior officers, brought him into bad favor with the Patrons of Husbandry. His high position with the Boverclgne of Industry is said to havo injured the Ordor in the oyes of Grangers. Tho Soveroigns wero a8 uvgrateful as tho pro- verbisl republic. They forced Mr. Abbott to re- sign, and filled his place with Mr, A, L. Bur- bank, Other changes were mado, Of the twolve officials of tho National Council, only half now come from DMassechusotts.
