Speaker Blsino bas boen renominated by the Bopublicans of his District, Ho is ono of a very imall company of Congressmon who have re- looted honor upon their constituonts, As o 1ongorvator of tho Republican party, however, Blaino has not been & succoss, The ‘‘memo- tandum was too much for him.

Nine base-bsll players undortook yestordny to ropresent Chicago In a contest with nine players from Now York. Tho Chicago gentlomon were boaten by ascoreof 87to1. Tho distress in Chica= Ro over this nows has no parallel since tho Groat Firo. Evil-disposed persons say that tho dofent woa due to a pitcher who had been imported from 8t. Louis, but men with no nensenso about thom attribute it to uufair decisions of the um- ypire. At all ovonts, it is » gonorally-recognized [Iact, that since the fall of 1871 no intorest hag been taken in the national game by the people of Clucago. X DBoth Houses of Congress have passed tho Moiety bill oy agreed to in tho Confercuce Com- mitteo. It provides for the production of books wnd papors in court on motion of Diatrict At~ tornoys, with tho proviso that ownors or agents ghall bo present and rotain their custody during tho examiuation. Forfeituro is oxtended to tho whole package coutaining the article tainted by fraud, but the entire invoicomayunotbo forfeited on this account. In other rospocts tho bill is not esgentially differont from the abstract which has alresdy boon givon in theso columns, Quite unexpectedly, the Conference Committes on tho Currouoy bill has arrived at a conclusion, and roported it to Congross. The new bill pro- vides for the redistribution of £55,000,000 in Natlonal Bank currency, and fixes the limit of "Fizo for shouldors, BY{@90 for short ribs, 03@ 0%/o for olear, and 103{@11c for aweol-plokled hame, Highwines wore notivo and unchanged at 03¢0 por gallon. Lake froights woro notive and 3¢ lowor, closing at 8o for corn by sail to Buffalo. TFlour was dull, and rathor woak. Whoat was in good domnnd and 1¢ higher, closing ot 8112 casly, §1,103¢ melior July, and $1.241¢ for Minnesota No, 2. Corn was vory active, and 2¢@o lower, olosing at G03fo cash, and G9%¢o sollor July.

Hogs woro qulot, and closod wonk at Go deollne; ealos at §6.00@0.00. Tho onttlo markot was activoand firm for good to choico grades, but dull and weak for common, Bliogp wore dull rad wonk. Bhiophord and Bawyer aro said to have aspirs- tiona for plncos on tho tomporary Commission to govern tho District of Columbla, Theso gontle- men want, first of all, to bo vindicated ; and Sawyor wonts furthor to mako §5,000 por annum in “alight and gonteol” employmont, without tho Investmont of nny capital in the way of ropu- tatton. Bhophordhas mado things solid with Gon. Grant, aud is protty wu_ll assured of any appolntment in tho gift of tho Prosident; but Bawyor's fortunes nro in & precarious condition, Sawyor and Bhopherd hunt woll togethor, though noithor bas reason to bo proud of his nspocin- tions. The District Roconstruction bill has gono to the Preeidont for bis signature. It remained for the Ninotoenth Contury and the Amorican Ropubllo to dovelop an order of statosmon that ook to abridge tho liborty and contract tho circulation of tho nowspaper pross, Thoro {s stch o sot of mon in the United Statey Sonate. Shorman’s amendment to the Postal Approprintion bill, raislog tho postago on nows- papors from 134 to 4 conte per pound, and ro- quiring propaymont, {s s fitting supploment to Carpentdr’s gag-law, Tho dispatchos this morning nssort that the Shorman smendment 18 hoavily proséod in the Hotise, 8o was Carpou- tor's gag-law, but it was boaten in Commit- too. Fortunately for tha pooplo, tho Iouse must appoal for & re-cloction 1 n fow months; it dare not bo indooent. Anotlior patriot has turned up,~Cougroseman Cobb, of Kaness. Tha athot day ha offared the following resolution in the House, which was adopted: Rexolved, That the srchitect of the Capitol be, and Do 6 heroby, nstructed to forthwith cause the coat of srma of the Btate of Kansaa to be ploced in ita proper prnol in tho Hall of Ropresontatives, Yor this, all Kansas is just now in a forvor of patriotio delight as well as of thankfulucss to the thoughtful Cobb; and, if nothing turns upto Lis dotrhmont horeaftor,—which is conaidrablo to assumo for & Kansas politiclan,—there is evory prospect that tho considarate Cabb can a8k for any oftico in tho gittof the poople. It i8 rather remarkable that none of tho other Kannsas membors bave thought to immortalizo themuelves in this choap and ensy mannor, logal-tender clrculation at §382,000,000, which is the amount now outstanding, Thia bill, if passed, will leave the curroncy abont 88 {t was when Cobgress first asssombled, That pact of tho §44,000,000 reservo which is already out will bo legalized, and the Becro- tary of the Treasury will be forbiddon to issue tho remainder, however prossing moy bo tho exigoncios of the acason and * tho crops.” A good, stiff-backed prolate ia the: Pope of Tome. Ho wants no concessions from tho Ital- inn Goveromont short of submission, and will iold nothing himeelf, loat tho dignity and hap. piness of tho Church and soclety may bo ondangorod. When It is considored that this utioranco comes in councction with @ satement that ovorturos have boen receivod st tho Vatlean from the Itslian Govornmont, tho sturdy judepondencs of tho Holy Fatbor stande out in bold rollef. Tho carnal spirit would say that the Popa bad ovory- thing to gain and nothing to lose by the pro- posed concossions, A doad-lock has beon occasioned in the House by tho unfortunato position of the Civil-Rights bill, which les athwart all tho business on tho Bpoaker's table, Venerable Mr. Poland, of Vor- mont, proposed yosterday to refor the bill to the Judiciary Committoe, whore it would nocessarily slumbor peacofully till resurrection dny. M, Hoar objootod to this nction. e pointed out that the Clvil-Rights bill now eccupled a vantago ground, from which it ought not tobodislodged. To this Mr, Beok rotortod that, for his part, ho Waould rathor no moro business should be dono in tho Iouso than that tho Civil Damago bill ahould bo taken up. So matters stand, It is o wory protty fight. Tho Chleago prodice marlots wore genorally ensfor yosterday, excopt whoat, with a falr busl- pese doing, Mcea pork was more netive, and 100 por brl lower, closing firmer at 817,10@17.15, cash or eellor July, Lard was dull, and 160 por 100 1bs lower, closing at 810.75@10,80 cash or Fronch affaits aro all at sen again, Tho Elec~ toral law being bappily got rid of for & time, tho Assombly yosterday took wup the BMu- 1cipal-Organization bill. An’ amondment giving hoavy tax-payers tho right of membership in municipal councils—a provision, by tho way, which might work well in certain American citios—was rojected by o wajority of 48, all the partics but the Monarchist voting in the negative. The vejection of this amendmont endangers tho bill. Furthor attompts to form s working majority out of the two conires Lave proved fatilo, and the look shoad connot be exteuded beyoud a fow doye. It iu on eseertion atrictly within the bounds of probability that no men in cithor Continent can give the rationale of rocent politi- cal movemonts in France to tho satiafaction of any considerablo numbor of persons who have looked into wmatters for thomsolves. o [ The United States Circuit Court sitting at Bpringfield reached s decision yostorday on tho motion to quash the writ of certiorari sued out in the Alton Railrond cage. The motion was sus- tained. Judge Drummond dolivered tho opin- ion, which was concurred in by Judges Davis and Treat. Aftor reciting tho circumstances under which tbo writ waa issued, tho Court puts aside ontirely tho question whother corporations aro poreons in the sonso of tho act of Congress, and considors whathor—the nssumptions of the po- titionors being allowed—the cause may bo re- moved from tho Btate to the United Statos Court. Tho conclusion fs that it may not bo so removed. If tho questions presonted are to Lo coneidered at oll, thoy must como beforo & United States Court of original jurisdiction. Failuro in this caso doea not oxhaust tho rogources of tbo Iailroad Company. An 1ssuo may be made up which will bring the questions involved bofore a United Statos Court, If this is dowo, wo shall probably lean, as & rosult of all tho litigation, that corporations are porsons, and that tho Fourtoenth Amendmont to the Con- stitution caunot bo construed to confer upon whito men and women any rights beyond those which they poescssed at the timo of its-adoption, Intho meantime, porsons intorosted in tho proso- cution of suitsunder tho Ruilroad law will bo in- terested to hoar that tho supersedeas recontly granted by the Supremo Court in the Alton oaso will not como up for a hoaring until the January torm.;Ts thero, then, no remedy agaiust tho inso- lonco of railway companios and tho lnw'y dolay,? A charaoteristio featuro of tho 8pringflold Con- vention waa the discourtoousness with which it trestod tho ladios. In one instanco, this dis- courleouencss amountod to uttor low-lived monnness, unworthy of a gathoring even of pot- houso bummory, Among thae candidates placed innomiuntion for the ofleo of Btato Superintond- ent of Publio Iustruction was Misa Francos ‘Willard, tho very nccomplishod Denn of the Wom- on's Collego st Evanston, in this county, aud o lady not only of suparior culture and eduoation, but of groat oxeoutive ability, and admirably qualified to flll tho oflco with success, Hor nomination way made by My, E.

No man in tho wido world but Logan could have made that spoocl, No other man could have bogun as Logau did, by assuring his audlenco that ho had not camo to.Springfleld to have anything to do with tho dollborations of the Conveution, or to glve ndvico ono way or another; that he came only to havo the dolightful sonsations whick the &et of mingling with his constituonts always pro- ducad I his Sonatorial bosom, Ife camo all the way from Washlngton to bo made happy by look- ing at tho Convention, and to inspiro its action, not by words, not by reason, not by prom- isos, but by tho silence of his prosonce! Buccosyrul, indood, was bhis roticonco, for ovorything nlmost that the Con- vontion did was, judging from Lis spooch, a8 ac- coptable to him ns if Mr, Logan bad had o great doal to do with ita doliborations, aud had given it auy amount of advico. o approved, ho sald, of tho first rasolutlon, Ilo appraved of the resolution on greonbacks,—npproved of it quito ag much as if ho bad advised it himgelf, and a8 it ho ind fnfluonced tho deliberations of thowe who originated it. Indeed, he approved of ov- erything the Convention did, Mr, Logan sooms to hove labored undor tho illusion thiat soma pooplo in the country want to nbolish all curroncy—to cancel - tho groenbacks and givo nothing in their stond. What olse can ho menn when ho says: *‘The oancolation of groenbacks meant wiping out tho only currency with which dobts might bo paid, and tho busi- ness of tho country carrlod on"? Aud, as if any ono aver protonded that it wore possible to do away with our prosont ourrenoy beforo wo ‘woro roady with somotbing bottor to take ita place, ho adds : “Until the country is ablo to dlsohinrge its obligations in hard money, it would ba wrong to deprive tho people of tho only medium of exchango thoy possess.” It is evident from thig that Cimmorian night roigna in the mind of the learned Benator on the currency question. o don't give up the greoubacic curronoy,] bo- - causo thon wo would have no money at alll And what & crushing argumont against thio resump- tion of spocie paymonts is thiss * Thoro {s not gold and sitvor enough in the pockets of tho whole Convention to pny ono man's taxes.” Thera {a abundant ovidence throughout the Apooch of the Sonator's dread of bewg consid- erod aropndiator. 1Io would notrepeal tho Lognl- Tonder act, becauso that would be ropudiation of tho contract botweon tho bill-hotder and the Gov- ernment! In other word, whon tho Government says it will onablo it to pay B in depreclated papor, Mr. Logan inslata it shall continue to do 8o, for not to do it would bo to repudiate its contract with A; all of which speaks volumos for tho tendorness of tho Bonator's consclenco, Mr. Logan jusisted ho was not an inflationist ; yet ho would give the country about $250,000,000 moro currency in order that it might have a quantity of currency proportionato to ita magni- tudo, for Lie says that the United Btates hns not two-thirds tho amount of currency in proportion toits woalth and magnitude of any other civilized country., Immodintoly after this, with most remarkablo logio, ho adda that ho does not know that thero s not monoy onough in the country; that whother thore is or not must bo dotermined by business! Pity Lo did not act vn this principlo all through the winter, when, instoad of allowing Dbusiness to dotormine the quantity of curroncy the country needed, he was endeavoring to do- tarmine it himeelf. And asif this wore not con- tradiction onough, after promising that he would not say thero was not money onougl, he violatos Lhis promiso and quotes * from tho Presidont” to show tho country had not monoy enough. Tho paralysia of industry demonstrated there was not suflicient money in tho country! As ho could say that there was, and was not, money enough in the country, and that the domauds of businoss should, and should not, regulato the volume, so Mr. Logan both op- posed and favored spocio puyments in one and tho samo breath, ‘““He was not opposed to specio payments™; still ho “belioved in groon- back circulation to carry on the business of tho country.” o agroed that ** when tho Govoru- mont bad the abilitycto resume it should re- sumo"; but assured tho. Convention that when the time would como no one know or would know, for *'neithor Lo nor any ono clso could say when thoy could resumo and keop paying in spocie,” 'Thusit scoms that Mr. Logan is not opposed to epacio rosumption and that he is op- posed to it; that he likes tho greenbacks and doos not like them; that he doos not know whothor tho country Lias monoy enough or not, and at tho samo timo {a sure that it wanta more; and that there i8 o stagnation of industry ‘bocause thero i mot money ecnough in the land ; and that we ought to have onec-third more currency thau wo bavo, that is $250,000,~ 000 movo or thoronbouts; that business itsolf, end not Congress, should rogulate tho volume of the ciroulating modium,- and also that Congross, and not business, should do tho same ; that ho is not an inflationist, but wants more currency; that the Government must resumo spocie pay- ments whon able to do so, but that no one can toll whon that time will como; that tho timo will not coma till wo commonce sclling more than we buy, and nobody knows when that will be,—to boliove all of which requircs amental constitution so unlike that of a sane or sober mau that wo aro in doubt what category to place our John inwhilo ho was propounding this string of paradoxes. THE GERMAN VOTE. Tho Ropublicun Stato Conveution of Illinois adopted & resolution on the liquor quostion which ja caloulated to offend the temporancoe peoplo without eatisfying tho Germans; aud, os luck would bave it, their brethren in Indisna adopted a rosolution diametrically opposed to their own, aud so offenslvo to tho Gormans that, oven if tho latter woro disposed to be conciliated by the Springfleld utterauco, tho Indiauapolis thing would still drive them way. Tho Springflold resolution iu substantially right. What causo, or decent protoxt, havo we for forclog our idens of total abstinence and Bundny observance upon peoplo who honestly ontertain difforent viows, und who commit no hroach of the peaco? Wo do not wonder that a people who Lavo hoen scoustomed to look upon Luther and Calvin as good onongh teachers of morulily and religion for thom, should bo wholly unable to understand the sumptuary laws which it 18 sought to enforco mgainst thom horo, or that thoy should robel agalnet them in tholr political notion. The Bpringfleld rosolution {e » timorous exprossion of & valuable truth, and, boosuge the Clormany don's bellovs 1t la aincore, 16 will uttorly fall to win thom haok, Unloss ail slgna fal), tho groat mnes of tho Germans will olther voto tho Demooratio ticket this fall or absont thomsalvon from tho polls, Tholr courso {u Indians {8 not doubtful. T'ho caitors of tho Qorman nowapapors in that Stato did not mis- reprosent thoir roadors when they anuounced their ultimatum to tho Indiannpolis Convention, Ihis ultimatum being rojoetod, and a rosolution of tho contrary sort adopted, it is nlmoat cortain that the Gorman vote will bo cast for tho De- mocraoy, Tho Influenco of that examplo upon the Germans of Illinols, couplod with the want of confldonco which tho latter have o pointadly manifosted {n refusing to send delogntes to Bpringflold, will tell poworfully to turn thelr votes Iuto tho samo chaunel, white In Wisconein tho lengue ontored into laat fall is not likely to Vo soon broken. GOOK COUNTY AT BPRINGFIELD, The Coolc County Fencibles, undor the load of Capt. Charles II. Ham, did a bad dny's work at the Ropublican State Convention. It apponrs that when tho volo was taken on the motion to otrike out tho only valuable and unequivoenl part of tho ourroucy rosolution, viz: *‘that wo sro apposed to anyinoronse of logal-tender noten, snd in favor of tho gradus! retiroment of tho BAmo 88 the volumo of National Bauk notes shall bo incrensed,” the Convention was so ovonly divided that the Coole County delegation could tinva decided it, and did, in fact, deoldo it. They gave 07 votes in favor of ntriking out the words above quoted, and loss than o dozen in favor of rotalning it; and thus the Cook Couunty TFonoiblos mndo a botel of it. Wo undertake to eay that Capt. Ham and his Foncibles grossly misroprosontod tho pooplo of Cook County in tho vote thoy gave. Whather thoy misreprosonted their partioular constite uents or not wo do not hazard an opinion, it being oxtromely difficult at this time to sny who their constituonts aro, The not purport and upshot of their action fs to make tho platform offenaive to tho inflationiats and not eatistactory to the othor side. Thay throw awny an opportunity to goin a groat and decisive advantage ovor the In- dopendents, who had proviously thrown away thoir opportunity. They lost tho chance to adopt o platform which would have loft no stauding ground for the Domocrats to make an 18suo on. Thoy may fancy that a whoop aud a hurrah will earry tho election this fall, irrespec- tive of tho principles ombodied in tho platform, A, gentlemon, thatis o drendful mistako! Tho currency question, moro than auything olas, is to decide this fight. Mr, A. J. Gelloway, delogate to Springfleld, publishes a card in auother column stating his. own position on tho currency resolution. Mr. Qalloway voted against mutilating the platform 08 roported by tho Committoo on Rosolutions, A REMINISCENCE AND A MUDDLE, Among the vory remarkoble features of that vory romarkablo Couvention which mot at Springflold on Wednosday, none aro moro ro- markablo than tho spocches of tha pormanent President and of the orator of the day. The ons ia o touching reminiscence of tho past; tho otlier a potpourri on the themes of the prosent ; and the two combined opltomizo the coudition ot tho Republican party. The rotrogrossivo Chair- aan of the Convention, tho Hon, Sholby M., Cul- lom, has ovidontly been alesping like Rip Van Winkle for some years past, aud, having boon sud- denly waled up to preside over this Convention, concolves tho party to bo what it was when he wont Losloop, and at once informs the Convention that tho Republican arty *is tho greatest and grandest party that has ever existod upon enrth,” The astonished delegates once moro listen to the old, old story that it has set 4,000,000 of alaves froo; and that it Lias given civil rights to men of all colors, Once more the battles of the War aro fought and the Rebel guns are heard booming., Once moro tho tide of baitle aurges about Fort Bumtor, and the clash of arms re- sounds in tho clouds on Lookout Mountain, and, warming with his thome, Mr. Cullom reach. es bis finest period in the declaration that * the party i etill young and . vigorous bo- cause it is tho party of progress," During his long sleep he hing not heard of the corruptions which havo piled up o fast that Congress can- not flnd time to luvestigate thom In its regular sessions, e las not heard of Credit Mobilfer 3 of Paciflc Mail frauds ; of Syndicato oporations ; of earpot-bog knavarioy ; of bankrupt Statas; of deofaulting oficiels; of Sauborn contracts; of commorcial blackmailing; of individual and aggrogato speculations, stenlings, uaurpations, and corruptions of overy eort. Ho doos not know that the party hag becomo 8o eufoobled by its corruplions nud #o cnorvated by its dissipa- tions that aven tho skolotons of the Domocracy bavo risen from their graves and put it to rout. To 3r, Cuilom it ig still the party that it was in tho days when wo went gipsyiog, “ young and vigorous, tho parly of progross.” o he waves the flag, sounds the old war-cries, fires the Ropublican hoart, defies the Rebols, and emancipates the slaves, but all in vain. The poor old party, liko the trumpeter's old atced, pricks up its oars at the familiar sounds, but can no longor go through its old pacos. Bo much for one romarkable specch, which opened tho Convention, Anothor Ropublican chieftain was thero, All the sossion long he hud defiantly advocated inflation and depreciation of the currency. Ho had coaxod, cajoled, throat- onod, aud dofiod. Ho bad mado himself tho champlon of inflation, and, ag tho champion, he mounted his high horto, and his high hoteo was everlastinglyon tho rampage, not oven the Pres- 1dentinl veto having sny effect upon tho voolfor-. ous chioftain or his high-stopping steed. Then eamo the Ropublican Convention, aud he mount- od his ateed and sot off to Bpringflold, to placo the Convention right on the record. But tho Convention was not to bo placed right on the record. It adoptod a rosolution which throw awot blanket over him ot once. He had come to play tho part of the hero in the picco, but fustead of Ilamlet ho was Polomus, and tue littlo curroncy cloud {8 now elmost in the shapo of a camel, now 1t Is backed liko o wensel, and nowitls vorylikoa whale. Unceromoniously ignored by his own following, tho gront ohieftain grow snd, spliitlces, dojooted, 'That grest spocch which ho had brought on could not be delivorod, and in thia sorry plight horises at the tail of tho Convontion snd talks in an aimless, listloss way, cating his words, crousing sand roorossiug his own tracks, and trying to cut and trim himeelf down to the fashion of the rosolutlon which had Kkilled his great spoech snd tumbled into his plans and purposes like 8 bomb-ghell. It wasa blg and a bitter piil, but it must bo swallowed, and awallowed it wag ; and whon he had spoken hia incongruoua spacch the Conyention was ovor, 1t commoncod with o rominiscenco and endod in amuddle, Tho ono orator woko up iu timo to dekcant upon glorloa which aro only memorlos; ' the other to demonstrate in lis own poreon the Liopelessnens and ohmon of the party. The bwo, a3 wo nald at the outsot, epltomizo tho present condition of the Ropublican party.

Tho leador of this romarl- ablo roform {s o noblo Japanoso attnched to tho CQourt of the Mikado, His namo Is Iwakura Tomoni, and s assisted by ono Banjo, like him- golf & noble, aud by four Princos. Formorly, Japan was divided nlo districts and provinces. ‘Tho districts woro ruled from tho Contral Gov~ ornmont, oand the provinces by foudal Princos. Tho division into provincos has beon dono awsy,with, or rather tho provinces havo boon changed into districts, and aro now gov- oruod by oflicors chosen from among the peoplo, no matter what tho clase, but nppointed by tho Court of Jeddo. Tho formor ruleraof the proy- tnces have boen all ealled to Jeddo, where they aro compolled to stay in tholr palaces. Iwakura hag provailed on tho nobles to retin- quish all their old priviloges aud rights, which hove been transforred to tho contral power, Tho military forces of the four *couquering® Princos bnvo beon united 80 ns to constitute but ono army, governed by tho Milkado through his Miniators, Thore is now Lut one armyin all of Japnn where formerly thero was one for onch proviuce. Tho ponsions of the *“gontlemon of tho sword” have been stopped, aud thoy havo boon ordorad to put away their arms, They are allowed now to practies a profession or to engngo in trade; and tho right which thoy foimerly possessed to strika persous of inforior rank with their swords hins boon taken from them, Noblos, gontry, and tho pooplo aro pormitted to intormarry, and tho worlers in leathor havo boon relioved of the op- probrium that restod on thom and their trado. ‘o mopastic iustitutions of Japanose priests bavo boon suppressed, the buildings taken for public use, and their resources confiscatod to tho Btate. Tho bonzes have bocn authorized to morry and to uso flosh meat, spite of their xeligious promises to abstnin from both, The edict sguinst tho Clristian roligion was repealed last year, and at presont the Japsucse mey embrace it un- molested. Bchools in large numbers bave beon established over the Empire. A small number onlyof malos dnd a atill smaller oo of fomales in tho past learned to read and vrite, This was owing very largoly to the fact that to learn tho Chineso charactors roquired a very long timo, and becauso s groat many wero deficient in memory to retain an endicss alphabob, It was thoroforo decided to apply thé Roman lettors to the Jopnneso languago; and children are now taught to rond and write it in those cheracters. English is becoming to Japsn what Latin was in Europe in the middlo sges,—the languagoe of the educated, g8 well as the languago of diplomacy, aud it is taught in all tho bighor schools. Fronch lnwyers have beon engaged to medify tho Codo Napoleon go 88 to make it appliceble o Japmuose circumstances, 'Tlo intorior of tho country s mot yob open to foreign travolors, but it is oxpected that it will bo beforo long, and the Government basnow a law to that effect under advisement, Tho Ametican or decimal system of monoy has boon zdopted, and all the gold and silvor of tho country recolned in sccordance with it. Two telegraphio lines bave beon built, ono connecting trith the Anglo-ludian cable and the othor with the Siberian line, The first railroad was inaug- urated on Juno 13, 1872, and on Nov. 15 follow-~ ing o lino was completod botween Joddo and Yokolhama. Four other linos aro alroady pro- jected. In 1870, tho forolgn commerce of Japan waa valued at 846,203,000, It will not bo many centurfes before Europsan civilization will Liave fully invaded and conquorod the Mongolian, LAND-TAX IN ILLINOIS, We print this morniug a comwunication ra- monstrating agajust any ropenl of the tax on Iond, sud maintaming that of all objocts of taxation tho land is tho most advisable, Our roaders will find the argument intorcsting, if not convincing, The condition of things in this Btato is somewhat peculiar. Tho Constitution suthorizos two modes of taxation: 1, Bya tax upon the assessed valuo of all real and personal property; 2. By & tax oncertain occupations, snd by tnxes on fianchises and special priviloges. ‘The Btate of Illinels in practically out of dobt, and thoro i no probabllity tbat it will incur o dobt ngain, Itis In the recoipt of about $500,- 000 a year from the Illinols Contral Railroad snd from mincollzneous sourcea, Tho ravenue ncoded inaddition to this for tho yonr1874 fa $2,600,000, $1,000,000 of which is for echoold. Tho revenue derived from tho Illinois Coutral Railrond s pnid dircotly into tho State Tressury, costing nothing for coltection, Tho revenue to bocol- leoted by direct taxation costs eo mucliin tho way of commissions, arroarages, abatomonts, otc., that it is found necessary to fix a rato that will produce 20 per cent in addition to the amount suthorized to bo colloctod, In other words, it costs 20 por cont to collect the ordinary taxes, T'ho rovonue law provides a complex system of machinery. Thero aro in this Stato 102 countios,” averaging ton townships cach. Each township hing an Asucssor aud & Collector of Tazes. Enoh caunty has o ‘Lronsuror who raccives theso taxes. When taxes are not paid, the doliuquont list is published, and, atlll lator, all lands and lots on whioh the tax is not paid aro seld. Tho law, in addition to tho employment of soveral thousand mott to assoss aud collect tho tax, and to hold tho monoy, prosecuto the tax sales, etc., provides o thellliug wrray of iuquisitorial onths und decla~ ratious, with & codo of flnes, poualtios, and for- foitures. T'ho law undortaken to enforco a syu- toay, and, as tho system Is defactivo and ineapable of oxooution, tho law in enforcod 1n apots, and upon partlcular olnusos only, The Btate of Il nols has taxablo proporty worth about twonty- six hundred millions of dollura. Tho As- Bossors roport property aesossod =t thirtcen bundred miilions of dollars, of which over 80 por cont is the farmiug lands, with thoir live atook, imploments, oto,, and town lots aud thoir improvements, All the rest of the prop- orty in tho Btato escapes taxation, and, of the losa than 20 por cont of proporty roturned by the Augessorsg, onc-half cacapos taxation by the fail- uro to collect, Onr tax systom, thovofore, in defeotivo in sov- oral partioularst 1, 1t does not reroh wmoro than balf the proporty Iu thu Btata; 3, Of tho hulf that s roschod, 80 por cont is tho land and its ap- purtonnuces ; 8, OF tho othor personal property taxed, ono-half osonpés taxation, d. Falling to rosohi ono-halt tho taxablo property ln the Btato, 1t thrown nearly tho wholo burden of taxation on ono alnss, and I, under tho oircumstances, n tax on production and not upon actunl proporty fn liand, Tho fallure of this rovenuo syntem to soouro Juet and equitnble taxation, and tho impossibili- £y, 82 sliown by all uumen oxperiencs, to roform that systom or roduco it to an oquitablo schomo, naturally fudiostes that tho Blats sbowld resort to tho othor plan provided for by tho Constitu- tlon. Undor this syatam thore can bo colostod, in liow of alt tax on real and porsonal property, o llconno foo rogulated. nccording to Lo chinractor of tho trade, and founded wpon the oxtont of business done. Undor this #ame syalom thoro can bo colleoted from mmuufacturera snd producers & tax on males i from tele- graph, gas, inpuranco, and horso-railway companies, a8 woll ns from rallway and othor transportation compauics a tox on gross ro- coipts, Taxos on banks, adapted to thelr poou- liar charnctor, can alio bo rafsed. All thosa taxes would in the aggrogate, at tho minimum rate, prodice more rovonue than the Stats would noed. Liko tho rovenue rocoived from tho Iili- nols Central Railrond Company, 1t would bo patd Into the Stato Tronsury without tho intervontion of tox officors, It could bo all collocted st o cost of loss than 1por cont. The tox would be so minuto in iteclf, nud so genorally distributed, that it would bo paid promptly. It would encblo tho Btato to disponse with the!wholo army of tax officers who now, in oue form or stothor, conaumo 20 por cont of the tax, and the land of itinols would be froe from taxation. Tho fact is well asoortalnod and oatablished by tho experienco of overy State in the country whoro taxos aro collectod from proporty according to valuation, that not over 10 or 15 per cont of tho personal property disconnocted with tho land is ovor taxed at all, and little or no rovenue in collected oven from what i taxed. Now lot us 800 how tho other system works, In Penu- eylvania the Jund is nover taxed for Btate pur- poses. Tho taxation in that Stateis procisely tho same (perbaps nat so comprohensive) as that authorizod by tho Constitution of this State. Theo laws regulating these taxes have been re- modeled within a yenr; tho rates roduced, and the process of collection simplifiod. A letter dntod May 28, 1874, to tho Industrlal Age of this oity, from the ofiico of tho Auditor-General of Ponnsylvanis, thus states tho simplicity of the systom. The lettor says: 1 8cnd you a printed copy of an sot entitled “ an act for the taxation of corporations,” which was approved April 24, 1874, and is now the law upon this subjuct, The taxes nposed by thts bill are the tax on capltal stock, which i aa follows, viz : Tpou the capital stocl of rallroad, canal, and trans- ‘portation companics, nine-tenth of ono mill for cach 1 per cent of dividend declared (eaunl to O por cont upon tho dividend), or siz mills upon the appraiscd valuo of tho capital stock whon zo dividend i do- clared, ‘ Upon tho eapital stock of all other companies except ‘banks aud forelgn iusurauce companice, oue-half of on mill for each 1 per cent of dividend (equal to § per cout upon the dividond), or ¢hree mills upon its ap- ‘prafsed valuo whon no dividend haa been deelared, And tho additious] tax on cual companlos which s imposed at tho rato of 3 cents for cach and every ton of coal mined or purchased, Tonke aro taxed under diffcrent laws, They aro required 0 pay ‘s tax of 3 mills upon tho appraisod valuo of . capital &tock, or, If thoy 8o olect, may pay & Slate tax of 1 per cent, and bo cxompt from all tnxs tlon for local purposcs, Foralgn insuranco come panies aro roquired to pay tux of 8 per cont upon tho gross premiumns recclved in this Btate, By our system, the burdon of Stato taxation is liftod almost ontirely from tho shoulders of the private citizen, snd falls without oppressive welght upon the corpo- Totlon, 1t 18 at onco simplo, effective, and aconomi- cal, No army of commissloncd Anseesors and Collece tors 1a required, the taxes of corporations being patd directly into tho Stuto Troasury upon accounts sottled Dby the Auditor-General and Stato Treasuror, without tho payment of any commisslon or exponso whatever, and for this resson alono the amount of Tovonue as- seasod fu undoubtediy from 10 to 16 per cont less than would bo required under any othor systom, ‘Under this systom, the State of Illinols conld xaise the ontire rovenuo nooded at one-half the rates mposed by Penvsylvanis, and leave tho real and peraonal proporty oxompt. s Ttesidonts of Macoupin County are bogining to entartain a healthy opiniou of the pawera lodged in United Btatos Courts. Judge Drummond de- livered nn opiufon yosterday on recent phases of the contompt caso, Ho held that the monoy de- posited by tho seventeon Supervisors was tho property of tho county and did oot digcharge the fino, The gross sum 1n posscssion of the Court was awarded to the bondbolders in part poymont of tho judgmont in thelr favor. Tha Court used strong lapguego in commonting upon tho action of tho peoplo of Macoupin County, and intimated that all Jogal moans will bo resortod to in ordor that the judgments may Lo satlsfied. Whon tho Board of Buporvisors arc again in contompt, tboy will probabiy bo doalt with in a moenner that will not admit of a resort to horolo monsures, All of which is com- mended to My, Ashton and other Court-Houso builders in the Cook County Board of Commis- slonera.
