Such is the opinion of tho managers.

Ho might havo spared tha oxpln- nation. Everybudy who knows auything about the curronoy knows that a bill which does not provido for axeturn to specio paymonts caunob be a finality, The bill passod the Sonato yoslor- day by & large majority. Mr. Thurman and ono or two othor Sountors who bad bofore ranked with the hard-money party voted for tho now bill, their oxouso being that it could do no hnrm and might ploasa tho people. Mr. O. B. Farwell, Ropresontative in Con- gress from tho Third Ilinois District, has ro- turned homo to stny, unless it should appenr that the pooplo have furthor use for his sor- vices at Washington. A reporter called on him yostordny, and nsked o statomont of bis prob- ablo courso [n tho noxt campaign. Mr. Farwoll sooms not to have got so far since his roturn bomo a8 to have any politicel aspirations, Oir~ cumstances moy eriso that would make it im- propor for him to dechno a nomination, and, in that event, ho will stand.

Ho the churches in Washington will bo required to pay o part of the debt. Thors is ‘almost pootic justico in this fate. If the churchos had done their whole duty by tho ro- spectablo thioves who have plundered the Dis- trict, thero might have! boen no need of rosort- ing to exiraordinary taxation ———— The supersedeas granted by the Suprome Court in the case instituted undor tho Warehouse law against Munn & Bcott has beon extonded until Septombor. It will bo remembored that the lasw was onco pronounced constitutional by the Oourt. An application for s rehearing was at- torward mado on behalf of tho warehousemon, and is still pending. Tho Court seems disposed to pass upon thoe points involved in recont ware- houso and railrond legisletion at ita own conven- lonco. Thounprofessional public will be likely to complain that so simplo a mattor ns an =ppli- cation for a rehoaring might have boon disposed of long ago. This application haa Already boon pending for soveral months, and may not bo ronched till latoin the fall. In the monutime, the warehousemon aro havingthings prettymuch tbolr own way. THE GRAB-LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL, Threo days sgo Toe Iniuse mado the pre- diction, upon good authority, that tho Supremo Court would hold the *“ Grab-Law" unconstitu- tional. This morning wo print the opinion in full, which, of course, is the first authoritative announcement of its purport. The hopes cre- atod by our prediction are fully cunfirmed, and iho peoplo who did not voto aid torailroads need no longer suffor the outrago of helping those who did to pay off tho debts they thoreby as. sumed. What is known as the *Grab-Lew" is an act of the Logislature of April 16, 1869, which au- thorized holders of railrond bonds, thal had boen votod by countios, citios, and towns, to rogiater them with tho Btate Auditor, and provided that (1) all the taxes assessod upon these subsidized yailroads in such counties, oxcopt the two-mill and school tax, sud (2) the State taxes on all proporty in eaid countics, towns, and cities for the amount oxceeding the valuation for 1808, should be sot neide for tho payvment of the In- tereut and principal of the bonds eo registored. It further provided that, whon a portion of the interest on 8aid bonds romainod unpaid after ap- plying the proceeds as above, aspecial tax should Do lovied in said counties and towns to meot the deficlency, 'Tho resorve sums thus provided for wexo to bo sot asido for ton yoars, When this act was first passod by the Logislature, it was votoed by Gov. Palmer, on tho ground that it was unconstitutional (tho Constitution of 1818 boing then tho organio law of the Ktate), but it was pasged over Lis veto and becamo alaw, The offect of tho lnw has been, firat, that tho railronds which were built maiuly on the proceeds of sub- sidies voted to them have contributed nothing to the genoral revenuo of thoe State ; secondly, that tho counties and towns not votivg subsi- dios hnve been contributing to tho payment of aubgidies voted by othor counties and towns; and, thirdly, that the countics and towns voting subsidies hava contributed nothing to the gen- oral Btato fand on the Increasod valuatlon of thoir proporty since 1868, A more palpable schomo for benefiting o portion of tho people at the oxponso of the rost was never conceived; and, a8 logs than one-hnlf the pooplo of this State voted rallrond subsidies, more than ono- half have been paying tho main part of the gon- eral oxponsos of tho Btato, The opinion of tho Supreme Court which brings roilef to tho people who Lave thus boen defranded for five years s written by Judge Soholfiold, It presonts & plain, conncetod, logieal argument, which canuot be gainenid. ‘Tho only roference to tho Constitution of 1848 is to show that this law cannot boconstrued in the nature of o contrast, as that Constitution ox- pressly forbada the granting of Stato uid to cor- poratious, The law is theu considered fu the light of tho Constitution of 1871 and the Inw of July 1, 1873, for raisiug tho revenuo undor the present Constitution, It iy hold that the Grab-Law oxompts tho tax-payors of the countics and towns voting subsidles from a por« tion of the goucral tuxes, which {s manitest, This exemptlon 18 o ““mere gratuity,” in tho lauguago of tho Court, since tho State vocelved no consldoration for granting it. It is & well- dofined rulo iulow that oxomptions from taxa~ tlon which have boon granted without consid- oration mey bo ropoaled; and tho Court holds that the oxomption in this caso was reposled by the Constitution of 1871, Beo, 0, Art. 9, of the presont Constitution saya thot tho Gonoral Assombly shall aye no power to dischsrge or THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1874. from tholr proportionate sharo of taxes for State puniosok, nor authorize any commutation thiora- for; and Boo, 10t the sanio arlicle roquiros that ho Glenoral Assoinbly shiall providoe for tho Rtate rovenio by lovying a tax so that ovory porson and corporation shall pay tazes In proportion to the value of thcir property, 'he Court holds this langungo to bo so cloar that it 18 not nocessary to cousult the Constitutional Dobates nor inquire a8 to tho intontions of tho framors of the Constitution with rognrd to tho Inw of 1860, ‘The Constitution menns that ono tax-payer sinll not pny ono-half or one-third, and the others a8 much more, ns is tho caso under the Grab-Law. No words, says the Court in ono place, can add force to tho Inngunge of tho Constitution, Tho du- tios of the Governor and Auditor, ns doflned by the law of 1809, aro kold to bo morely ministorinl, and they have no right to oxtond tho taxes in any othor mannor than oqually, as provided for in tho Constitution. The conclugion of tho Court is, that *‘go much of the nct of 1860 as roquires tho Stato rovenne to bo colloctod on tho valuation of the taxablo proporty in the Stato remaining aftor doducting (in countios, townships, cilles, and towns which have outstanding indobtoduoss in- ourrod in and at tho construction of railrosds) the incronsed valuation of the taxablo proporty over that of the yoar 1808 s mbrogated aud conmot bo onforcod.” In regard to the portion of tho gonoral tax of 83,600,000 affectod, tho Court declines to say whathior or not it can bo maintained as a atand- ing approprintion, sincoe this question ig not be- foro tho Court. The case involving,the main quostion is romanded, with instructions to the Court bolow to ascortain tho rate nocessary to raise 83,600,000 on an equal basts, and enjoining the collection of avy taxes levied in excoss of this rata, F e ——— THE LAST CURRENOY BILL. Thero scoms to bo & detormination in Con- gress to pass somo kind of a curronoy bill, even itit be nothing more than to suthorize the oxchenge of o ton cont - fractional” for two nickols. The bill roported by the socond Cone foronco Committeo is of just as much valuo as that would be, although it may prove to be con- sldorably worso. By way of making money more plonty it proposes to take from theEastern Btates 850,000,000 of the National Bank circula- tion they now have, and bostow it upon the Wost nnd South. From the hubbub that has heen created on tho subjost of “rodistribution of tho currency” one would suppose that tho West and South were famish- ing for National Banks,—thet their mouths wore a8 wide agaps as anost of young swallows in the momentary expootation of worms. That the Eastorn States, whore thers ia more capital than in other scctions of the country, and where the rato of interest is lower, prefor torotain the cir- oulation they now have,—their businoss having sdjusted itsolf to tho existing condition,—is probably true, though they have shown no great obposition to the redistribution scheme. That the West and Bouth want tho privilege of taking this ciroulation and paying for it, we tutally deny. Not long since o Westorn membor of Congross, ropresonting a rural district, made inquiries by lottor of cach Natlonal Bank and oach private bank in his district (about a dozen in number), to learn how much of the new cur- rency would bo wanted by his constituents in cage tha redistribution bill should pass. The sngwors ho recelved woro that two or three of tho Nationsl Banks would like to surrendor thelr circulation, ono National Bank would like to have an incroase, and one or two of tho privato banke would liko to be- como National Benks. Tho not result of the canvass was that nob o dollar of new circulation would havo boon talen by tho district in the ag- grogate, although there would have been & trifling chaugoe in the local distribution of the amaunt they now have. Wo know that some of tho Nationul Ranka in thia aity nrn rativing tholr circulation a4 fast a8 thoy can collect it in, whilo others ere only restrained from doing so by the oxpross desire of the Comptrollor of the Currency that thoy shall retain it. o tako 50,000,000 of arculation from the Enstorn Siatos presupposes that thero is about 860,000,000 of capital in tho West and South waiting for tho opportunity to go Into tho banking busincss, or that that amount would be speedily withdrawn from other employ- ments for this purpose, What s porfectly ab- surd proposition this is! Politlclans talk about rodistribution of tho ourrency as though it meant that $50,000,000 in monoy was to bo taken from tho East and banded around to tho noedy and desorving poople of tho West and Bouth for nothing, It mosns no such thing. Itmoans that if there be any considerable number of por- sons in tho West and South able to put up $116 of socurity in order to got: back $00 of National Bank currency, and desirous of doing 8o, thoy shall have tho opportunity. If thero bo no con- eidorable number of such persons, then tho tak- ing nway of 50,000,000 of elrculation from the Tast means o confraction of tho ciroulation by that amount., That would be a bravo way of making monoy plontior. If this bill passes, we hopo tho President will veto it on the express ground of its aimloss stupidity . r———— MUNICIPAL EXTRAVAGANCE, Our local Governments, we foar, are infent upon having the Court-House built, or at least bogun, with the least possible dolsy, Tho pros- peot of handltug 86,000,000 i too much for tho majority of tho membors of tho County Commis- sionors and Common Councll. This Court~ Hougo job has unfortunately to bo managed by two sepurate Governments,—the Olty and the County,—though tho bills have to bo footed muinly by tho same constituency, the pooplo of tho olty. The thoory put forth by those who wunt the Court-Ilouse built now is, that there will be no necossity for taxation ; that the oity has only to use the monoy recelved from the re- demptlon of the canal by the Btato, and that the county can fssuo bonds. This, by a strango #tylo of roasoning, is considered conclusive that the Court-House can bo built without resorting to taxation. Itistruethatnportionof tho money received on account of the cunal, and applicablo to tho rebullding of publio oficos, has 1ot boon expended for thut purposo, but it has boon ox- pendod for other purposes, and can only bo re. placed by monoy raised by divect taxntion, Tho igsue of ndditiounl bonds by tho county fa per- hups the most expousive oxpodicnt that oan Lo ndopted, We have euough of publio dobt na\v; H and tho peoplo who have rebuilt Ohleago have enough todo to pay intorost on thelr private dobts and taxos on their property without au- suming tho udditional obligation of six millions of oxpondituro, ono-halt to bo ralsod by divect taxation and tho othor half by the salo of bonds, tho aunual {nterest on which kg fo b ralsed by taxatlon. The people of shis olty do uob ot thin tmo an wuuiuner wugesy of §8,000,000 placed on thoir nlready hoavily- taxed property, But tho mnjority inthe County Commisslonors and the Common Councll aro influencod by no covsidorations of this kind, ‘Thoro Is an army of contractors, nud a rogiment of oxpuctant Buporintondents, who are olamor- ing for the bullding of this Court-Houso; but outslde of {lheso thoro is not & tax-payor in Ohicago who wants the work bogun now, The County Commissioners, at their lnst moot- ing, pasted an ordor fixing the componsation of the Architool-Sunoriniendont ot 4 per cont of theamount expended. Estimating tho wholo ex- ponditura ot $6,000,000, this componantion of the Buperintondont will anount to $240,000; at 45,000,000 1t will rench $200,000; aud oven nt 3,000,000 it will reach $120,000. Whon this job was pending, Commissionor Bogue moved to rodico the compensation to 2¢ por cont, but his motlon wag promptly rojeotod by tho follow- ing vota: Yeas—Dogre, Burdick, Clongh, Jones—i, Nuys—DBusse, Oruwford, Hertlng, Johuson, Lonor- gau, Russell, Ashton—7, Absent—Xorrls, Hnrrlson, Roollo—3, Tho meaning of that vote admits of no mi- tnko, A salary of §6,000 or 8,000 a yoar wonld linve ndmitted of no liberal division, but au ag- Rrogato componsation ranging from $120,000 to $240,000 will pormit tho lucky man to mnko handeomo dividends among tho limited numbor required to oleot him, In tho Common Councll the contractors and friends of the candidates for Buperlutondent are oqually busy, and tho public need not bo sur- prised at any momont at & voto ordering tho be- ginning of tho work, and the lavy of a two-mill tax to raise thoneeded funds. Tho olty chartor roquires that tho ordinance making spproprin- tions for tho year shall bo passed within tho firat quarter of each fiscal yenr. This torm oxplres on tho 80th of Jumo, Thero aro but ecight legislativo days now loft in which tho Council can considor and &ct upon an ordinance which Inst yenr appropriatod over $6,000,000, and which will Lnrdly be less the prosent yoar. This all- important ordinanco has not yot boan reported to the Council, and of course thero can be no time now fordiscusaion or deliboration, Thoresult will bo that whatover tho irrosponsiblo majority may putin it willhavo to bo passed, and it is more than lkoly that an appropriation for the Courte Houso job may be included. As & last appoal to the Common Couneil in bo- balf of tho publie, we reproduce n statoment mado by Mr. Bogus to the County Commisgion- ors, that of tho taxes for 1873 thoro were a fow wooks ago uupaid the following sumst Gity tovy for 1813, ..., Stato and county levy, T 4,132,604 2,602,638 Tottlersesressnsaren 0,705,203 This sum of inst year's taxes, amounting to nearly $7,000,000, will baveto bo paid by the pooplo of this -city bofore the 156th of August, ‘when the tax-sales will take place. In the oflce of the City Comptroller there are now $260,000 of unpaid tax-cortificates from 1872, In the faco of these facts, known to all, how dare the two Govornments fisist upon boginning tho new Court-House, which is to cost nnywhere up to £6,000,000 ? Wo horo that, even at this late hour, o majorityof the Cammon Council will resolutely roject anything and evorythiuglooklug to tho ex- ponditure of adollar in rebuilding tho Court- Tiouge, until the poople of this olty shall have recovorod to somo extent from the extraordinary outlay medo in rebuilding tho eity and ropaving tho atreots. THE INDEPENDENT TICKET, Ax impression seems to exist’in tho East that tho Farmers' Movement in Illinois aud Indians is likely to bo heard of no moro siuco tholr plat- forms, a8 regards tho curroncy question, have beon almost unanimously condemued by the press. This is a mistake. Tho ticlkets nominated at Springfeld aud Indianapolis, on tho 10th of Juno, are backed by a for- midablo organization which has no thought of withdrawing from the contost, and which be- licres that it can carry both Btiates, or ab all uvents thot it can olect onough members of Congross and of tho State Logislatures to putit on an aggressive footing in the campaign of 1876. Penctrated to a largo extont with tho idea that nowspapers are controlled by capital, and that capital is their onemy, thoy aro mot likely to be much disappointed or dispirited by tho attitude and tono of the pross. Thore aro countics in this Btato which have always boen reckoned good for 1,000 to 8,000 Ropnblicau majority which will eloct tho Indopendent ticket this yoar rs they did last yoar, and wo judge thattho Democratic ticket will suffer heavily in Southorn Illinois by tho same procoss, The enrrency fssue isnot an olo- ment of weskness to the Indepondent ticket in tho rural districts of Contral and Southern Iili- nois, or In soy part of Indiana.

POSTAGE ON PRINTED MATTER, Tho proposition before Cougress to make the prepaymeont of postago ou printed matter impor- ativo iu o wigo and just monsure, It will relieve tho mails of tons of printed mattor which now finds its way into thom, and on which no postage i ever collected. The Postmastor-Goneral hns been urging this reform for soveral yoars, and has placed it on tho ground that, if tho mails could be relioved of tho priuted matter on which no postago is ovor collocted, tho rates of post- ago on propaid printed mattor could bo reduced, Ho ostimatos that 134 conts per pound propaid would vield an Increased rovenue from printed mail mattor, This would Do af tho rato of $30 por ton, Tho bill a8 it passod the House fo provided, but in the Sensto, under the lond of Mr. John Bhorman, tho rute was incrensod to 4 conts per pound, or $80 por toun of 2,000 pounds, 'Chis rato i8 u vast increzso over tho prosont. A daily paper woighlug two ounces now pays §1,20 o yonr postago. According to Mr. Sherman's amendment, the srmo paper will hore- after have to puy §1.60 postage. wit paluted mattor to bo propald, ait this bool- keooping would bo avolded, 'Tliore in, howovor, 10t » Post-Ofiica In the country whoro thore is not au annunl palo of uncalled-foror rofused printed mailor, and the aggrogate s many hun- dred tons, all of which has beon transported by tho Government, and from which no pontago is collocted. Tho Poatmastor-Genoral's plan wns tolot no printod matter go into tho mail unless thio postage was pald, and thon, whothor callod foror taken ont or not, the Govornmont wonld at lonst got tho cost of trammporting it. Tho averago welght of nowspapors, magazinos, books, and printed mattor eent from New Yorl dnfly is 50 tons. The Postmastor-Goneral do- olares that a cont and o hialf por pound, if pre- paid, will poy tho cost of dolivering this, * Mr, Shorman and tho BSouate Insist on making the postage 4 conts n pound. It looks very much like nn attompt by Mr. Shorman and the Sonato to punish the newspa- pers for thelr persistont demand for tho repenl of tho franking privilego anil the salary-grab. Tho Senato hias always evincod & horror of the newspapers, and a strong deslre to punish them. Tho Hougo rofused to conour in the ameudment, and tho bill nowgoes to s conferonco com- mittoo. It is to be hoped that the result will bo a return to tho ratos fixed in the Houso. At 134 conts apound the rovenue from printed | mattor will far oxcoed nny horotofore collected by tho Govornment. Tho propaymont of poat- ago warrants a roduction of the rates, but to do- mand prepnyment and sn advanco of ratos is shoor extortion. THE POPE AND THE KING. For somo timo past offorts have boon making by tho Italinn Governmont to offect o reconcilia- tion and como to on understanding with tho Popo. Tho lattor, tho telograph informed us yoatorday, at & rccoption of Cuardinals on tho 16th, said that although proposuls looking townrds & reconcilintion had Leon mado him by porsons suthorized to do 8o, he had rojectod thom all; that ho could yield nothing, for the reason that any concossion on his part would bo injurious to tho Ohurch and to soclety. Thoe immovablo position of tho Pops has been lookod upon with deep regrot by very many Italinns, who, while thoy favor s political transformation of their country, romaln attached to tho Church, This olags of Italians may that the intorests both of the Church and of tho ¢| country domand n reconcilintion between tho Kiug nnd tho Popo. It was thought at one timo that tho Popo himsolf folt the mecesaity of a compromiso, and that he was disposod to make ono. Acting on tho supposition that such was tho caso, overtures have boon made him, The agents of tho Govornment have, howgver, beon mot with tho etornal non possumus. Bome time ago, Dom Dosco, a distinguished clorgyman of Turin, who is reprosented to bo both an uncompromising Catholic and an equally uncompromising patriot, went- to Roma to in- quire of tho ccclesinstical authorities what tho Italian Govornment should yield in order to bring sbout a peaco between tho Vatican and the Government, Itis enid that ho succecded In obtaining from the Pope the following etipu- Iations as o ground of agreomont botweeu tho two: 1. The Pope's civil list, amounting to 8,250,000 lizo, to bo paid by tho Italian Govornment, with- out the sigoature of Cardinal Antonolti. 2, The Royal exoquatuc tobe abolighed, and the right of tho Holy 8ce to appoint Bishops to Do admitted without restriction, 8. 'Tho removal of the schools from Stato con- trol, 4. e., entiro fracdom of oducation. 4. Withdrawal of tho Govoroment bill under which no marringo coremony is to bo performed by = priest unless tho marrizgo hay fivat taken place bofore the civil authorities, Tho first and fourth poiuts in this agrecoment tho Ministors Minghottl and Visconti-Venasti geemed to bo unwilling to agres to. The socond and third they positively rofused to accept. Thus onded the negotintions, Whon the Popo 8ays that Lo had roceived proposals emunating from exalted political poraonages, we suppose he had roforenco fo the nogotiations of Bignor Dom Bosco. - A It is not likely that the Pope will agree to any compromiso which tho Italian Government would bo willing to malke. Ho has stendily protested againat tho course of tho Government, and is bound by the principles of the Cuurch of whioh bois the Infalllble Head to do 8o to tho end. The contest botween the Popo and tho Govern- mont is o contost botweon the Church and tho World, and tho Church will nover yleld to tha World, though ovor ready and evor disposed to raceive its submission, ey STREET-BEGGARS, A lsttor published in our last issue, with reforonce to the Chlcago lazzaroni, was well- timed, und deservos some consideration upon tho part of our authorities. Thoro never was a timo in this city whoen street-beggars woro so uumerous a8 now.

Not to speak of the one-armed aod one-legged and tho blind, who perhaps do not offend the public taste, thero ara scores of mon, women, and children deformed in the most ropulsivo maunner, oftentimes accompanied by three or four dirty infants sprawled out in the sun; half-diotio beings, evidently used by cune ning persons for their profit; women with tho goitro and other hideous diseases; and ohildren disfigured by tho most ropulsive deformities, Theso crentures haunut tho most crowdoed thor- oughfares from morning to night, some of thom impudent, ull of them pursuing beggary as a professional business, and many of them ablo to onrn nn honost living, The toloration of such slghts in our public stroots ia & disgrace to tho city, & premium for lazinoss aud vagravoy, as well 88 o dwgusting and somstimes dangorous violation of public taste. Undor tho Inx administration of tho Olty Governmont theso nuisancos are iucressing daily, and whon onco it is sproad sbroad that they can como boro and ply their vocation with lm- punity, the loathsomo ranks of those beggars will undoubtodly be relnforced by tho sumo closgos from other cltlos, until our streots will fairly swarm with them.

Translated from the Itlinols Staate-Zeitung, June 19. AN HONORABLE AND A DISHONOBALLE ENEMY, The Republican party of Iilinois lias by its racent Stata Conveotion placed iteelf in the posi- tion of a dishonorable enomy of national credit and personal libercy, in ‘that it, with phrases which are in its mouth doubly ambiguous, seelt to avoid taking o decided, fearless position, and to throw duat—and that too with inflnite impu- dence—in the oyes of the oppouonts of the paper mouney aud temperance frauds. Buch a tricky, cowardly onomy is contompt- iblo, In contrast with this, we praise the Ito- publican party of Indiana. In its recent Con- vontion, riso hold on tho 17th of June, it declared itselt plainly snd openly for that ching for which ~ tho ™ Ropublican” party of Illinois is working with low cunning—that is &n in-. croaso of the amount of paper-money. Aud whilo tho Republican party of Illinois, the mother of our State Temperance law, entangles itself in n conple of ambiguous, contradictory, antogonistio plirases relativo to the exciting ‘Yomporauce question, tho Ropublican party of Indisnn stauds out wm o manly fashion in tho sixth plank of its now platform for its Tempor- ance abomination, It nx]lruusly indorses the existing State Temperance law, nsnuln.ll)' in ro- gurd to tho legal opinions on tho quostion of damagos, and, [n addition, doolares itsalf in fa- vor of a local option law. It ways, honostly, what it has dono, sod what it iutonds do- ing. But tho Republican party of Illi- nois has molthor tho courage to speak out opouly for its tomporauco law, and the tom- porauce tyranny practiced under it in oll parts of tho State, nor tho courage to pledge itsolf to the abolltion or evon the sligutost limitation of this tyranny, Lvory ono who haa obsorved its courss for “tho last your and & half koows what this meons, By adopting 1In its recont convention this per- fidions aitituce, on tho ruggostion of that anmo Turwell, who loft his Gornan constituonts in tho lurch in so contemptible and cowmdly a manner during tholr desperato struggle of last summor and autumy, the party shows vory plajuly its tricky ways and potty evasious, ‘Tl Itopublican party of Indiaus, like n brave soldior, oponly controuts tho Gormuua on theso two lending isiuos—tho gold and tho tomporance quostions,” But tho Republican party of Niuoly 18 the cowardly bushwhicker who seoks to hide and cover himeolt in the brush in order from thora to wound in the bunok the old Germun allies whom it has betrayed, Dut tho Gormans know its stratogems, and undorstand how to guard agalnst It and svize 1t by tho throat, Iromour polnt of view tho unmanly and trioky attitudo of the Ropublican party of Ihi- nois i o great compliment for tho Gormans, wsiuco it showa how uncamfortably it feals whon confronted with its prosent Gormon oppouents. — SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
