If tho Chicago Athenmum, which has succeod- od to the placo onco ocoupied by the Chicago Christian Union, gives exclusive employment to the young gontlemen and ladios who have re- contly beon deluging tho public prints with cards and communications of various lkinds, it will not have lived in vain. Ann Elizn, once tho nineteenth wifo of Brig- ham Young, hns dotermined to bring euit for libol against tho propriotor of tho Chicago Times, on ncconnt of alleged defamatory statomonts tecently made in that papor. The articte com- lained of, whothor tre or not, was grosely in- decont, and would not have found a placo in any respectable nowspaper. Tvo deaths have occurred in he Milwaukes Poor-Hause under circumatances which wurrsnt .asuspicion of inhuman troatment of tho pau- pors by tho persons in charge, Wo have in 1Hi- nois several mon, onco mombers of the Legis- lature, who investigated similar sllegationa con- _corning the managemont of tha Iittnois Peniten- tiory. Theso gentlemen can bio apared by thoir constituents, if they nto wanted in Milwaukee. Congressman Fort, of Illinois, hue the crodit of suggesting to tho House that, in cuso an in- crease of taxation shall become neoessary, the incomo-tax shall bo the first revised. Resolutions to this effcct were passed Dby 126 to 62. As a tout of tho yosl sontiment of the Houso, this voto indicates nothing, Tho whole procecd- iug was a pieco of most transpavent buncombe, supported by the inflationists for the purpose of , trightening men who have anything ‘to logo by tLo Igsuo of paper-money. Gov. Taylor lims beon advised by Attornoy- Goneral Sloan that the Wisconsin Railrond luw is constitutional; and he has ducided, tho dis- patehes acy, thal the wholo powar of tho State Administration shall bo excrcised to put it in general operation, Unfortunately, there is no meution in this connection of the. power pos- gessed by **tho State Administration.” After all, there i8 sn oxtremo probebility that the wholo controvorsy will be loft for the Courts to dacide, Additional crevasses in the Lower Mississippi are reportod this moming. Muny tributary streams heve alko overtlowed, and the outlook for tho bomeloss people in #he inundated region is more choerless than evor. This is not » time to stop the work of oxtending reliof to the sufferors. As the want becomes more genersl and more soverely folt, the sonse of obligation resting ‘upon thoe poople of tho North sbould grow heavier, and be mora udoquately responded to. We know what it is to receivo; woare but just leaming what it {s to give. > A vote will be tuken to-duy on the bill for the digtribution of tho Goveva award, reported by the Senato Judiciory Comnsttos. Asit stauds &t present, tho bill bars tho claims of insurauco companics to n sbaro of tho money. Sewa- tor Thurman has moved toallow the proving np of such claims, and their adjudication by tho Court appointed by the bill. He is supported by Sonator Bayard, and less decidedly by Sen- ators Morton and Bou'well ; and it {8 probable that the whole question will be fought over in tho Senato, Pur ‘Yruuxz's poeltion on this subjoct ia woll known. om— ‘The Chicago producs markets wera generally steady yesterduy, with less businees done, at o alight Increase in prices.

A slight touch of hot weather in Washington hag done what consideratious of publio intorests could not do, viz: accelerated the loisurely pace ab which Congross was getting through with its businoss. 'Tho danger now is that the adjourn- ment will take place too soon, Too much was dono In the Houso yostardsy, The Indiau, River und Harbor, and Military Academy Appropria- tion bills woro disposed of in a slovenly fashion, the lust two being taken on trust in tho integrity und discretion of the Committeo. Theo River and Harbor bill, which got tbrough by o suspension of the rules, is stuffed full of small appropriations for what Mr. Bock described ns **littlo creoks in Michigan, Wisconsin, and New England "; it ought not to havo passed without sovere serntiny. Congross ia now making hot hasto indeod; somo of it might havo been dls- tributoed over tho winter months with loss dangor of evil results. An illustration of tho extraordinary powers whioh now vest in the ‘Bpenker of the House of Reprosentatives was furnished yostordsy by » disngroement botween Mr. Blaine and Olarkson N. Potter, of Now York. Tho facts are recited in anotber column. Mr. Blaino had drawnup 8 programme to govern tho business of the day; when it was disturbed by » motion to sdjourn, bo protosted, perhaps without taking timo for roflection. The right which the Speaker uus assumed, of deciding beforchand what motions shall come Dbefors tho Houso, is pal- pably in contoapt of tho gonius of American inatitations, but in oxercising it Mr. Blaine has meroly followed a Jong-eatablished custom. His protost against o motion to adjourn is only pardonablo on the assumption thut ho forgot tho propriotios of tho oceasion. That he did so may be inforrad from tho upologetio oxplaustion of the demands upon the Speaker's attontion which he aftorwards offered to tho House. Tho news from Arkenans indicates that the bosis of o eottloment botwoon tho contending Govornors bos at last boon reached. Presi- dent Gront yestorday advieed an ad- journment of tho Logislature summoned by Buxter for ton days; and (hab Brooks should igsuc o call nud bring to Littla Rock tho mombors of the Logislature who sup- port bis claims, Baxtor, in roply to tho Prosi- dont, eaid thot bo would agree to this plan, on condition that Brooks should retire from the State-House, and louvo it unooonpied in the interior.

This set- tlomont ought to be sailsfactory to all partis concerned.

As for Froo Trade, the past and the presont slike contradict tho statemont that this 18 & Domooratic doctrine, Tho party platform of 1804 eoumeratos tho “ gims and objects” of the organisstion.

Tt Losalso passed some good resolutions about limitations, but hagnever reduced thom to practics, Porhops it would have done 80 if the poople had trusted it cuough to give it the chouce. It haa always had this dogma, and carried it to an sxtromo botweon 1801 and 1866, The Domocracy has over bowed be- fore Stato Rights, but Las boon quite unablo to 800 that tho National Government had any rights the Btatos wero bound to respact. Tho question of a sound currenoy remains. In 1864, the Democratio platform hes nothing about it. In 1808, this party that prates aboub ita devotion to such o ourroncy declared that the obligations of tho Government which were not exprossly guerantoed redemption in gold ought not to bo redeemed in it, that the national bouds ought to bo taxed, and tha thero should bo uno currency for “the producer and the bondhold- or,” mesning & bod cucrency for both. Theso atatemonts mean, in thelr ordor, ropudiation of tho greonbooks, partial repudiation of the bonds, ond further ropudiation of the lattor by payving the intorest on them in legal-tendors, ‘Thogreat Democrat and the great grecubacker, Goorgo M. Pendloton, dictated them. This is the last authontio uttersnce of the party oun the currency question. In 1872, it had no fndopondent platform. Its lote Congressional rocord dacs not sustain the Manhattan Club say- ings. Its vote in Congross was about half-and- balf. The record of the Demacratic pross in tho only States which have been thoroughly can- vasged (the nino to whioh our voto-olronlur wos sont) daes not sustain it.

P ——— A PERMANENT INVESTIGATING COMMIT- TEE. Tho corruption of our publio sorvants is be- coming proverbial, From Congross down to our Town Boards—{rom the hoad to tho uoles of tho Dbody politic—thore aro plague-spots of the most virulont desoription. Thero have been uncarth- cd, of lato yeors, series of “ateals” by men in public life, ranging in magnitudoe all the way from Oredit-Mobillor awindles to petty larcenics. Justico has been sold moro than once, by her cliogen oracles, for a consideration. Yet it is not truo that “every msn Lss lis prico.” Thore is some of that virtue loft 1n the country without which Montesquoiu says no Republic can oxiat, ‘Wo should be sorry to think that therowero not. Thoro might, however, be more of it. Thero wmight bo more, especially among our officials. Wo might havo fewor mombers of Congress im- plicated in * stoals * and swindles and back-pay grabbing. Thore might bo fowor defalostions by thoso intrusted with the public money. There might be less of nepotiem in higher places and in lower, and moro of the efiiclency with which tho absonco of nepotism is genosally attondod. To put it in plainer words, the publio servico might be run in tho juterosts of the pablic, and not merely in the interest of a few whom chance or fortuns, porhaps’ the overpowering voto of ignoravce and thriftlossnoss, has put in power. Tor the amount of corruption which wa have wituossed latterly in theso Btates, there must be acause or causes. It must be the offspring of ascortaipablo circumatauces, It must bo gen- erated in part at lenst by the fuvoring atmos- phero of our legislation. Itis produced, wo bo- lteve, by the want of publio vigilance, by the ab- sonco of invostigntion as to how thiugs are going on, how tho public aro being served. In- dividuals may suspect, individusls may know, individuals often do know, that a Logislature has boen bribod, that & City or County Treasurer is misapplyog the publie funds, but what can Individuals do? As the law stands b present in most of the States, tho public aro not sufficiently protected ogainst malfeasanco and misfeas- ance in ofico, Of our mnationsl, Blate, connty, and municipal eorvants, exacutive, logislative, judiolal, and others, it may be said that their opportunitics to bo dishonest are mony, tholr temptationa grear, thelr detectlon, whoro they huve been false to the trust reposed in thom, dificnlt, thelr indiotmont or impeach- mont slow to follow, thoir couviction doubtful, their punishmont noither swift nor cortain. Thus thero are & dozen doors for the criminal to escapo through, Tho chances of his not being brought to justico are immensely in his favor. Tho vonal officer caleulates that Lo will not bo detected at all, for ho may cover up his tracks ; that i€ doteoted ho may not be tried, and if tried not convioted. Thore are clasees of publio offenders who can bo roachod ouly by imposchment,—s most pondorous and unwieldy ploco of judicial muohinery. Tho stronghold, howover, of corrup- tion is tho hope not to bo detocted. If, there- fore, wo would abolish it or diminish it, wo must make dotection almost & certainty.

Though quite longthy, tho roudor, after golng through it, will fail to remomber any point mado by tho writer. His technical explanation of the provaions of the bill was wholly unnocessary, Dbocause overy man in the country thoroughly understood it. Mr. Morton’s own constituents, who mot at Indintiapolis to deys after tho voto, and donouncoed tho aotior? of tho Prosidont, and spplauded tho votes of Mr. Morton, thoroughly underatood the blll, sand kuow oxnctly what the President bad vetoed. The techuicali- ties of thobill wore of the least possible con- corn, Tho theory and purposo of the bill were gomothing more, and of much greator impor- tance. It is immatesial whether, undertbint por- ticular bill, tho yolume of currency would have boen {n fact expanded or contractad. Tho theory of the bill was tbat Conpress, at its ploasure, might multiply tho legal-tonder notes of the United States, and force thom upon privato indi- vidunls ,at por.

"o racont susponeion of o consfdorable num- or of studonts from tho Michigan Univorsity at Aun Arbor has orea*od a very dooided flurry of oxcltoment, not only in Lhat ploseant little vil- Iage, 0 wnnliy dostituto of sonsations, but also throughout tho State at large, Wo concolve, Lowover, that thore 8 no ocoasion for any oxclto- ‘mont at all, tho whole atfair being olmply o mat- tor of discipiine afocting tho Faculty and stu- donte alono, upon tho lesuo of which doponds tho good namo and roputation of tho Univeralty. The Faoulty wore, indoed, roducad to this ulti- matum; Eitbor thoy must consent to bo ruled by tho studonts, or tho students must consont to bo ruled by thom; elther thoy must quit or thostudonts must quit. Under thoso circumstances, Alma Mater, like overy othior mater of common sonye, decided it waa bot- ter for Lior o punieh the childron than to bo punlshed by them,—a hioalthy dooision which con- ecrns 1o ono but the corractor and tho correstod. A briof statomont of tho cireumstances will con- vincoany unprejudicod porson that tho Feoulty not ouly hiavo moted proporly, but, uudor tho olroumatances, vory leniently. Originally, six studonts of the Freshman and SBophomore classos wero suspended for tho rowdyish andoutrageous practice of haziug. Ot tho ocharaster of this practice thore {8 mno, doubt. It s sn ungontlomanly, low-brad, coward- 1y, snd somothmes brutal spart, indulged inusually at tho oxpenso of tho woaker class and thoso who sre too timorous to rosent tha in- solont ontrage. It is not too much to say that thero nover yob was & studont who did notin Lis lnter yonra regrot his pacticipation in it ; and thiero nover yot wag & studont of gontlomauly instinots who did not immodiatoly rograt it.

Iu it very lightest form it is au outrage which has not tho oxcuso of mischiovouy fun which ocharactorizen other colloge wracticos. Under such otrcumstances, tho Facully wero in duty bound to take coguizsuco of tho offonse which they did, and in fixiog tho penalty at suspenslon for thio rast of tho collogiate year, which ends on thoe first of next Beptember, they decided leniently, and as any one can soe without ony feeling of resontmont. Thoy actod in tho Dbest interests of the college, and did no mors than was necessary to prosorve order and dis- cipline, If they bad vot done this much at lonst, thoy would bavo been faithless to tho sovoro responsibiiity imposed upon thom. and five seconds later, badly Liown and very crestiallon at tha lows of the $60,000 which his frleuds in the Univn Club had wageted upon him.
