WILBOI, Chaiilt, Loston: ruggis The Ghicagy Tibume, ‘Wednesdey Morning, March 18, 1874, A Convention of the Anti-Monopolists of the Twelfth Congressional District of this Btate has boen held at Jacksonvillo, Theso gentlemen, | who reprosented every county in tho District but two, propose, like the Farmors and Auti-Monopo- liate of many other Congressionsl Districts in Tilinols, to have some ono in tho next Congress ‘who will really ropresent them. ¢ "Take care of my Oivil Rights bill," was one of Benator Sumuer'sdyin g sdjurations, Senator Frolinghuyson stated yesterday that the bill would not bo roported by tho Judiclary Commit- tee till Bonntor Edmunds was well cunough to appear aa its champion. The Commmttoe had apont two days iu porfocting the bill, and it had received the approval, ho said, of a majority of the members. It was roferrod to the Committoo with Sonator Sumuor's consont. In tho Tithoot district in India, 100,000 natives, all of them emnciated by famine, have applied to the Governmont for food. This ie bne of tho most destitute of tho Statos, and, sccording to the atatement of the correspond- st of the Loudon Daily News, one-half tho population will die if adequate roliof is not af- forded, To give this tho Govornment muss send thither half the supplios provided for the ‘whole country. e Tho resumption of the currency debate yestor~ «day was procoded by the prosentation of a num- ber of petitions, Merchants of Dos Moines and Council Bluifs, 400 business mon of New York, and citizons of Iilinois, asked for ou in- creago of the currency. On the other hand, o petition which Sonator Chandler said ropro- sented 95 per cont of tho commorcial intorests of Dotroit was submitted in opposition to infla~ tion and in favor of a spoedy resumpgtion of specio-payments, e A xeport from Raleigh, N. C., that Bald Moun- tain, in that State, was in tho throes of voi- canio oruption, and that houscs around the mountain had boen thrown down, is mitigated by later dispatches. Nothing more drondtu than mystorious noises, like tho laughter of Hendrik Hudson’s crow among the Catskills, has yet developed itself. Something is said in a looso way aboui & “ genoeral upheaval” of the mountain, but ths is evidently the imaginative flight of some New York Herald corrospondont, who, his eccupation haviug gono with thedeath of the Iast of the Lowery gang, has turned to Bald Mountain tor & rather bald sensation, On motion of Senator Thurman, the record of tho Bonate hes beon amended so that Sonator Btowart's appointment on the District of Colum- bin Investigating Committee is that of member sndnotof Chairman. Senator Btowmt himself questioned tho propricty of Acting-President Carpenter's proceeding, and Senator Thurman and others chardcterized it as without right. Sonator Carpenter scemed disposed to apologize, and sald that he Liad acted ‘*without much ro- flection.” Senator Allison has beon made Ohair- man by the Committea. 8t. Patrick’s Day was colebrated thronghout the country, yestorday, with great enthusiasm by the Irish-Amoricans, There was no dis- order in this city or elsowhore. It is only when the Orangemen parndo that there is any disorder. All reports agreo that the ob- gervance of the day was moro genoral than ever before, which i becoming the fact with rogard to oll holidays. In Baltimoro two colored as- sociations, unable to forogo tho chance of marching behind a brass band, took part in the procession. Bome Jtaliane in this city and in Memphis yielded to the same infiionce. i —— The Cirouit Court at Frooport hna continued the suit brought by the Railroad Commis- fonors of this State against the Chi- cago & Northwestorn Railroad Company untll the Soptember term. Tho Com- missioners charge the Company with discrim= ination and extortion. Tho continuance was granted on affidavits by tho counsel and ofil- cers of the latter, showing that tho jmmeunse mass of siatistics covcerning the expensea and aperations of the rosd, on which their defense muat be hased, could not be got ready during the present torm of the court, although compotent men had beon st work thorcon since laat Docomber, The Obicogo produco markets wero slow yes- torday, and generally oasier, Moss pork was quiot and 23¢@bc por brl lower, closing at $14.30 @14.40 cash, and 814.42)@14.45 seiler April, TLard was dull, and 5@734c per 100 Ibs lower,— olosing at §8.80@8.85 cash, aud BB8.85@8.873¢ _seller April., Meats wero in good demand, and firm &t 53¢ @030 for shouldera; 730 for short ribs; 8a for short olear, sud 0@10c for swoet- plokled hame, Highwinos were dull and }(@1o lower, &t 920 per gallon, Flour was quiet aud woal, Wheat was dull and nosrly o lower, olostog flrm at §1,18%70 caeh, and 81,103 seller Aprll, Cornewsa dull and 34 lower,—olosing at 0030 cash, and G13{o seller April.

The indiet- ment was procured quictly, with the purposo of arrosting Mr. Halstond and throwing him in jail if o should mako his appearauco in Washington this wintor. Wo understand, also, that, ns soon a8 Mr, Halatend ‘bocamo awaro that such an in- dictmont had .been procured, ha sont notico to Washington that ho would bo there in aboutb tireo wooks. 'This is just what wo should bavo oxposted from Mr. Halstoad. It is an issuo which, wo doubt not, ho will bo glad to bring to trinl, and ono in which the Washington jobbors will bo very badly worsied. When thoy indicted Mr. Halstond, thoy indicted the wrong man, Ho doosn't searo worth o cont. . & R — Charles Francis Adams, ox-Attornoy Geuera Hoar, aud Mr. Dawes are the candidntes most favorably mentioned by tho Boston press to succeed Mr. SBumnor. Mr. Adoms has, porhaps, tho most consideration. Besides tho rominisconco of Credit Mobilier that fol- Jows Mr. Dawes' namo, that geutloman s vo- lioved to be Butler's favorite. Tho same por- ronol ronsons that, have provouted AMr. Hoar from being made Chiof Justice of eithor tho United Statos or Massachuwotts will nct in the Legislature ageinst him. Tue ouly question raised ogainst Mr. Adoms is, whothor ho could stand the test of party loy- alty. 1lis olection would appronch tho dosires of the Domoorats, sud the Jowrnal I8 afraid that, to send any ona who could not’ run the gauntlet of n Ropublican caucus to Washington, would Jook like & **revolt ageinst tho Adminis- tration, if not s desertion of the Republican party.” As for Gon. Butler, ho commauds only 50 out of 280 votes in the Logslature, and is not thought of. Howaver that mny bo, he means to” Lave something to say about tho election. ‘While the other Massachusctts mombers of Con- gross lavo gone back to Wasbiogton, Butler, who nover lots auything go by dofault of his, staya in Boaton to look attur tho Logislature, Senator Logau reoponed the currency debato in tho Bonuto yosterday, His two weeks' study, which ia all that our Sonator over noeds to giveto o simplo matter like the financial question, hs convinced him that the way to dopreciato the ourrency is to depraciato Sonator Schwrz, and in consoquence there is & good deal moro about Sohurz in his oration than, sbout tho currency. His srgument is that Senator Schurz wants tho farmors and workingmen of the West and South to work for thio capitalists of the Enst. Senntor Schurz thinks that any mcrengo in their wealth and manunfactures would be pernicious to their wolfare, Sonator Schurz wants to substitute for greenbacks bonds imposing an anuual burden of §20,000,000 on the poople, for thio bonefit of Eustern copitalists, ete., ete, The West and South, Senator Logan thinks, “uuderstand this thing.” If the currency is deoreased, ho enys wagos will not purchaso broad, sud strikes witl become widespread. His most novel contribu- tion to the controversy is tho atatement that Amorican rallroads sand thoir bonds abroad be- cause thoro is no monoy hero with which to bny them, and that it Congross will only print moro groonbaoks the bonds will.bo gold hero, and we can get rich by paying intorost to ourselvos. By thia plan every one can easily got to be a million- aire, liko Logan, if tho Government will only koep ou printing groonbacks, end tho railronds keop on issuing bonds ad Iufinitum. If Benator Logan had but made'this discovery before the war, ho might have induced the Governmont to print onough greenbacks in the first place to have onabled oll the Government bonds to be Dbought in this country. He would thus have saved us from paying soveral hundred millions of ‘tribute.” In conclusion, Scnator Logan mokes the contrast between himuelf and Senator Sehurz complete by vowing that ho will stand by the rights of the poople no matter how much tho moncyed monopolists may attack him. MR. HESING'S CATASTROPHE, +How was it done?” *Who would have thought it?” “Who wore the traitors?” Where is Hesing ?" Thoso wore & fow of the questions which wero nsked yostorday by the pensive fragments of the Poople's Party, At the secrot mooting 0.’ the party withont a head, hold at the ** Vastilo” on Saturday night, Mr, Hosing ndjured his followers to stick to the party. Dan O'Hara begged them to stick to tho party. Gon, Licb was in favor of sticking to the party. Barnoy Caulficld was ndlicsivo in his viows, snd & pot of glue could not ihve been more sticky than Buffalo Miller. On Monday night Mr, Hosing went to tho Council Cham- bor to mece lhat the party stuck together. ‘I'io grent leader and manufacturer of Pooplo's Partles, who now has contracts for Terro Ilauto and other polnts, which ho will undoubtedly hasten to fill, was arrayed with more than his usual caro, and was the adwmiration of tho tom- perance Indies, notwithatanding his aversion to muokers and wassor-sempels. Ile survoyed tho Council with serenc satiufoction, and calmly awaited tho moment which should prove his abllity to make & party stick togother, even without head. Mr, Hesing was on unusually good torms with himself hofore tho vote was takon, Ho shook hands with himself. o con- gratulated himsolf upon the strength of Dr. Hosing's Adhosive Plaster, Iad it beon tho tomple of Gambrinus, he wonld have ordered o Dortle of Jobannisborg, and he and My, Hesing would have drank to onch other's Gesundhoit. Thus Mr. Hesing calmly moved abont, sublimoly unconscious of tho catastrophe which was nyait- ing bim. Ho had arranged oll the wires himsolf. He had selected his maun for presiding oflicor. “hio faithEul logs nud tail of tho Peoplo's Parly bad confirmed his soloction in tho *DBastilo™ caucus, and he had put mucilago enough upon thom to make thom aticl, 'Tho vesult, however, shiowed that thore was something the matter with Mr. Hosing's mucilugo. It was thin and watory, and, ac the end of the vory firat ballot, arms, legy, tall, and all of the People's Party, foll to pleccs, . ‘Aud all tho King’s horaes and all tha King's men Can't put Humpty Dumpty togethior ogaiti, Tho voto was sunounced, and Mr, Dixon, one of the muckers and wasser-scmpols,was declaved to bo presiding ofiicer of the Couucll, It way too much for Mr. Hesiug, Hodidn't understand it. Ho didu't etop to inquire, howaver, who throw that briok, 1o didn't stop to gathor up the romaing of the Pooplo's Party and tako thom awsy for lutorment. Ho quiotly foldoed hia tent, aud, ko tho Axabs, silontly stolo sway,. Tho oceaslon was of that charactor to which moro words could not do justlco, Thoro was & man’ walting outsido to Aco him, IIo suddenly re- mombored he had business at tho office, 1o wanted to rotire early, 80 n# not to miss tho morning train for Torro Manto, A day or two ngo, Tiie TRINUNE urgently ro- questod the People's ;Party to stick togothor until next fall, and the ponpls would put & hoad on it, Only forty-cight hours Lave clapsed and & hend lins boon put upon it. Iad this dofeat happonod under tho londership of some ordinary porson thore might have boon room for sympathy, and wo should have had feolings of ‘commireration as wo gazed upon this abjoct and suddon ruin. But tho Peoplo’s Party gus. slaughtorod with tho groat Gonoral at the head of tho army, The ruin was compteted under the vory oyos of Blemarck himeolf. o bLad delivorately laid out the plans of the battle, Mo had marshaled his forces, Ho wont to the Counoil that tho Poople’s Party might have tho prestigo of the presouce of the inventor and patentoo’of tho party, the original Jacobs himeelf. Undor such circumstances, the trngedy becomes o farce. Tho denoucment is too ridioulous for sorloua contemplation. Wo eanuot sympathiza with Mr, Ifesing ‘ss o defontod Ciouar. Wo are only reminded of the redoubtable Gon, Boum, mourning tho loss of his paunche, which is suddenly adorning tho clpoan of Fritz. Wo would like to bo sorious, and shod a fow toars, and commigorate Mr. Hesing, but there aro no oniona handy. . We undorstand that senrch-warrants are out for tho unfaithful, who didw't stick'to tho party. Buffalo Millor and Dan O'Ifara and-thy rest wero diligont all day yestorday. Thoy hunted through the City Hall, and the tauk ; looked intd the tomperanco meotlugs ; inquired at the nows- popor odicos; iutorviewod tho 8t. Patrick pro- cession ; ovorhauled tho six whito-shooted Com- ‘missionaires who woroadvertising Prof. Peppor's ghost ; and wastod & groat doul of timo to no purposo. Tho traitors dectiued to show them- selvos. Whon found they will bo sont to tho Ponitentiary, for did not Baffalo Miller Bay tha that was the ond and destiny of every man who don's sticl to Lis party. POPULATION AND WEALTH OF ILLINOIS IN 1874, By the conaus of 1870, the relative rank of the leading States in point of population stood thus: 1, Now York; 2, Peonsylvania ; 3, Ohio ; and 4, Tliinole, In poiut of woalth Hlinois ranked with tuo others: 1, Now York; 9, Ponnsylvania; 3, Obio; 4, Massachusetts; and 5, Iilinois, The dif- foreneo botweon Massechusetts and this State was about oleven millions of dollars. Tho fol- lowing tablo carofully propared from official statistics exhibits the probable progress of Lili- nois and some other Wastern Biates sinco tho census, and shows that in 1874 Illinois bas taken ronk, both in tho matter of population and in wealth, as the third Stato in tho Union. The ‘ratio of incroase from 1800 to 1870 is nssumed to have continued during the four yoars, with tho rosults given: EEEER EEEET] EEE5E SEESE 5 E‘E @ g g i | I a ? 4 § g g g i g g 13 I3 = = =1 saais | B A B3g88 g |p g2 |2 Lnes F 1 a5 88822 | % |3 "5 g Shags | B |2 G gentz | |5 = IR 33 8 a2 P BB | 5 | |opeer | BV 233 | g | |%2E22 | g Eapgg | = | |3E3E8 e = = T Sleed =§ FEEET Se3 88 2] HE S skt % |azi is Bg |85F MUTTERINGS FROM MARYLAND. Tho Baltimoro American has Boon loyal lo, {heso many years. Whon tho Philadelfitna Con- vention howled its approval of that sarcastio resolution which spoke of *‘the modest patriot- iem, the earneat purposo, the sound judgment, the practical wisdom, tho incorruptible integri- ty" of U. 8. Grant, the American bowed down bofore tho idol and worshiped him. *“Sup- press the robollion,” screamad tho loyal shoot; and now, alas, it is in rebellion 1teelf. 1t devotes a lending editorial to tho difference between tho party ” and the Ropublican parly. 1t points out that the Republican party solemnly plodged iteolf at Philadelphis to specle-pay- monts, to the abolition of fruuking, and to clvil- sorvice reform by adopting theso resolutions: Wa deacunco tho repudiation of the public debt fu any form or dieguiso as a national crimo, We wituess with prido the reduction of the principal of tho dobt aud raes of interest on the baluco, und confidently cxpect our oxeoilout uational eurreucy will bo por- focted by n epcedy resumpion of specle-payiments, “The frauking privilege ought to o ubolished, and tho way prepared fors Gpeedy reduction of tho rute of postage. A systom of civil servico under which tho subordi- nate positions of the Goverument aro convidored re- wards for mero party zesl is fatally domoralizing, snd wo tliereforo favor o reform of the system, by laws whiich shal abolish the evils of patronngo, and muke honesty, eticiency, and fidelity, tho ossontial qualif- catlous Tor publis positions, without practically crea~ tug s lifo tenure of ofiica, The American then points out tho infidelity of “tho parly" to theso articles of faith of the TRepubliean party, On tho first poiuts it says o have & Logan, a Morton, a Kelloy, o Cam- eron, & DButler, who profess to bo ‘the party’ and who are enthrely opposed to a ‘spcedy re- sumption of specie-payments.’” Thia is tho flat- tor treason fupsmuch as the Philadeiphia reso- tution was but a reafirmation of various promis- csnud pledgos made by the Ropublican party. “When it is aleo consldored,” continues tho American, “that & msjority of both Mouses favor inflation in somo form or other, it must be admitted, in this respect at lonst, manyof tho gontlomen who claim to be *tho party’ and to lLave the samo gight to control its affairs, sre on tho outaldo of tholino that deflues tho Repub- lican party.” The italicy are not ours. In regard fo tho franking privilego, this bold Daltimora Journal ays that the Ropublican party nbolished it, and that ** the party,” led by But- lex, proposes to roatoro it. ' As for clvil-sorvico roform, the American ls unkind enough to ¥sy: * No comment is neaes. sary upon this point.” It adde, however, that’ ¥ the party " is here dlamotrically opposed to the Topublican party, and that its notion has boon on auti-climax to tho resolution. Ono of tho largest and ableat and mont in- fluentisl Republioan journals in' the ‘ex-alavo Btates then proceods to comiment with becoming sovority on tho "*bad falth " of the roprosonta- tivos of the Ropublicnn party, on tho *scandal of Loot," on the ‘*dooper disgrace of tho Butlor, Banborn & Co. businoss,” on the Tu- diau Dopartment frauds, on the * mad folly of thoso whom [t [the topublican party] Lins put in power,” on tho fact that tho Republican party “‘lay tho morlification of Auding itsolf rot nslde by “tho party ' and oxcluded from tho control of affars,” on Simmons, and on the probability that the latter, with Sanborn and Butlor to aid him, @ will strongly ontronch ‘thoparty’ in Massnchu- gotty to tho confusion of tho Republican party.” The American closos Its protost by inslsting that the Repubtican party must in somo way assert its principles and disown tho acts of *the party.” How, wo may ask, aro Republicans, aan whole, todisown Kelloy, Morton, Logan, Oglesby, Camoron, Butler, and Grant? Theso men, with their eatollites form ¢ tlio party” that has swal- lowed up the Republican party, just aa Fornando Wood etal., havo swallowed tho Democracy. Men who believe in cfvil-servico roform, in the abolition offranking and other perquisites, in specie-psymants, in froo (rade, aud In honeaty and economy, are out of place within the pale of ocither party. They belong in the ranks of tho Opposition. The American may be soared, may bo enticod back into the told, but its mauly edi- torial will nevertheless do much to smash that sncred shibboloth—** tho party.” ‘NAVY-YARD POLITICS. The recont election in New Llampshiro witl probably result in the partial exposure of ono of the grentest abuses under our Governmont, and that is tho uso of publio money for the control of elections. Tho .Piscataqua River forms’tho boundary between tho States of Maine and New Tiampehiro. In this river is an island which the Government purchiased somo yoars ago from the State of Maine, On the Maine sido of the river 18 the Town of Kittery ; on the Now Hampshire sido I8 tho City of Portsmouth, and on tho icland fs plantod o Navy-Yard, Tho principal uso of this Navy-Yard fa political ; tho publio uso is to ropnir occasionally such vesgcls as mey be sont there. The number of workmen for whom thero is work does not probably excoed 800, but on the eve of clections It rans up to 1,000 or 1,500, T'he Navy-Yard is admirably lo- cated to servo tho political wants of two States, Mnine holds her cloctions in September and New Hompebire in March of each year. The clec- tions in New Hampsbire aro so close thnt this Novy-Yard las, alone, probably “saved the State” several times; Aftor the eloction in Maiuo, last Septombor, thoro was a large reduc- tion of tho working-force in the Navy-Yard, In January the local politicians in Now Hamp- shiro startod out to find workmou ; thoy selected Democrats or men who would not vote the Re- publican ticket. ‘Thoy picked out nearly, if not quito, 1,000 of theso mon, of all trades and oc- cupations, and, saccording to tho Boston Post, obtaining first a solomn promiso to voto the Ropublican ticket in March, put thom at work in {ho Navy-Yardat an sverngs of 94 cach por day. Men woro taken from tho farm and put in the carpentor shops ; thoso taken fromshovel- ing gravel on tho railroads were put into the tinemith's department, and mon from tho shoo factories wore put at boiler-making, TFishermen wero omployod a8 paintors, and masons and teamators weoro onrolled aa ship-builders. So ludicrous was the wholo thing that it hus beon & otauding joke among the men cmployed. Theso extra thousand workmon, recelving $4,000 aday, of courso didno work ; thoy were promisod sixty daye' wagos, snd thoir principal duty was to vote the Ropublican ticket in March, " Tho cost of this job will not be less thun $250,000, to be paid out of the appropria- .tion tor Navy-Yards. Tho defleit of tho Navy Dopartmont this year was $4,000,000, Bome doya before the election there was an unpleasant rumor -that the men intended to vato as thoy ploased. Immediate stops woro taken to provent this on election-dny, The mon were brought over from the Navy-Yard in boats; thoy wero marched to headquarters, and there assorted, snd wero then led off to the soveral voting- placas. Each man was furnished with o special tickot, printod on & largo squaro pioce of sliff, colored: popor, which could not bo mistoken, and - theso ballots, thus marked and distinguisbable, they were obliged to deposit in tho boxes. Maoy tried to dodge, but they wero too closely watched, In ten doys these men will bo discharged, and next Beptombor tho samo thing will be repoated on tho Maine side of the 1iver. ¥ s "Thig trick of using the Navy-Yards to make votors was tried in California, where each one of soveral thousand voters lid to vote a tioket printed on a pastoboard card, which could not be folded. The result was that the Legislature prohibited the use of any ballote of that or any kind thut could be distinguished by their cclor, or which could not be folded. It is likely that tho Legislature of New Hampehiro will intertero in o like mannor to prevent the repotition of this abuso, —————e E ALSACE-LORRAIRE, The election of Doputies to the Imperial Par- lisment took placo in Alsace-Lorraine on the st ult, Of tho fifteen choson, three belong to the “Tronch " parly, and the remaining twelve aro Ultrumontancs, Fittoen doys aftor tho elaction, thoy ontored the Reichotag in a body and took sents on tho extrome right. The DBishops of Motz aud Strasbourg were conspicuous amonz them by boing clad in full oplscopal vestmentu. <| Botore tho sitting bogan, thoy asked leave of the Prosidont to sposk in Fronch, Ho doolined for lack of power. Bismarck entorod at that mo- ment, Tho Alsation Deputies addrossod him o French, “I do mot speak Fronch hero” quoth the Chancollor, “Buat you undorstend it?” “Not hero.” Dy this time the floor and gallories were crowded, and tho doors were besieged, All sorts of ru- movs flow about. Tho House was nsked to grant the required pormigsion to sponk in Frouoh, Lut rofused. Thon M. Toutob, one of tho Doputies from tho conquered country, moved that the pooplo of Alsaco-Lorraine, having Leen trans- forrod to Gormany by tho Treaty of Frankfort without - having boen asked for thelr consont, sliould bo allowod to express thelr opinion of tho annexation by s plebiscitum. AL ‘Poutsch had with him o epooch writton in Fronch. Ho bogan to rendor it futo broken German, As ho grew cxolted, 1t was noticed that Ea Georman Doosme bettor and better, It Lna sinca beon dis- oovered that he wpoakia it much more fluontly than he doos French, Ho was a member of the Assembly at Bordoaux, and was unabla fo make Dimeelf understood there, Thia discovery chianges Wwhat scomed to bo a pathotio ploa for tho Deputies' mother-tonguo into & vory trane- paront and sllly s, 80 fav a8 thoohlst speakor on thelr sldo was concerned. RI, Toutssh was callod to order by tho Prosidont whon Lo smd {uat Germany oxoecded the Limits got toa oirllizod uation when alis aunexed Alsace-Lorraws, and i was Isughod at mightily by tho Relchutsg whon Lo ocald that Napoleon III, nover annoxed any country unloss the luhabltants voted for the chango, Io was = bit dismayed by tho laughtor, **At any rate,” ho ndded, *tho Emporor always snved appearances.” This waa adding fuel to the flame. Ifo was permitted, howaver, to aay somo sinrp things, o told the Toichsteg that tho constituents of himself and bis colleaguos hind sont them to Borliv to tentify that thoy woro French; that it was a joko or irony to -call them *CGormun brothers™; that the right of conquost was a “right of tie middlo sgos"; and that Gormany, by dismombering TFranco, hnd “sown porpotusl war.” Tle was fol- lowed by the vonerablo Bishop of Strasbourg, who diselaimed anyides of donyingtlio validityof tho Troaty of Frankfort, but asked for » plebis- citum, Thore was no furthor debate.
