Soms atlr hus been occnsloned in the placid surface of tho British Parliament by the passage in tho Lords of the Publle Worship Rogulation bill. Tho bill is intonded to clear away somo of the obstacles to tho mpeedy and cheap trisl of clorics who may incar the dis- Pleasuro of thoir Bishops; and it is be- lieved to bo especlally intonded for the ro- proof sud correction of Ritualistlo praoctices. It will encounter much opposition fn the Com- mons, whero it will bo violently opposied by the Toriee. Mr. Disracli's administration has thus far failod to keop, by positive doctarations, any of the pledges on which it woni into office, It has offondod the publicans snd & powerful party in tho Ohurch, and scems in & falr way of closing its osroer in o much shortor timo than was allotted to Mr. Gladstone. Rallroad officlals have not generally been ac- cused of jmmodurate sction in their reslstance tothe Winconein law, and we wmust confess to having beon surprised by the announcement ro- cently mado " in these columus that tho West Wisconsin Road had undertaken to punish the Town of Hammond by ordecing frains to pass it ‘without stopping. The facts are very difforont from tho roport. It appoors that traing have mado regulsr atops at Hemmond, excopt dur- ing the timo when tbe station-agent at that point was undor arzost at Hudeon, somo milen distant, whoro he was takon quite unexpeotedly, &t the inatance of a parson who has a porsonsl grievance against the road.

Talbot is ovidently improving his ndvantages to the bost of his abllity and good fortuns. Ho has only botwesn now and noxt election in which to make his mark on affalss ; and ho is making it in most coneclentious fashion. The Attornoy-General of Iowa holds that tho validity of thoe Rellroad law fn thet State {8 not at all affectod by the failure of the companies to furnieh the information required for thoir olagsi- fleation, His argument is that the law makes it imporative upon tho Exocoutive Council to clossify tho roads; and that, it tho corporations bave falled to filo roports giving information to aid in tho dis- charge of this duty, tho Council must bave re- courso to othor sourcos. It would bo a vory strange condition of affnirs, saya tho Attornoy- Gonoral, if & person should bo allowed to pload hiis own doliberately wrong act a8 & reason why the law should not be ouforced against lim, ‘Howard Staunton, whoss doath {s roported this morning, was an ominent authority in the some- what dissimilar fioldaof choss-playlng snd Shuk- sporian study. Ho was an Oxford graduato, bug it was not in those sobolastic shados, 88 wo should naturally expeot, that he acquired a fond- ness for the facinating game. The development of this taste, and the atydy which it involved, como later in life. In 1843 ho was urged by persons who had witnossed oxhibitions of his ekill to challenge the thon clhampion of Europe, M. 8t.”Amand, and ho gained a victory ovor that gentlomrn in & great match at Paris. Mr. Staunton, though ho held the higheat plsco 88 & playor and continued to his death tho su- prome authority on ohoss in England, never con- tondod with Morphy. Tho lattor years of his lito wero dovotoed to literary pursuits, and es- pocially to Shakepearian study. For editing the “ Tllustrated Shakspears,” known as Rout- lodge's edition, ho reccived $5,000, which is the largest pay ever given for work of this doscrip- tion. Mr. Btaunton was 65 yoars of age. A glaring caso of injustice recontly oconrred in connection with tho operstious of the Hu- mane Socioty. An agent of the Soclaty pro- cured the arrest of a drover at tho Stock-Yards for allowing cattle to go without wator until they woro s0ld,—a practico froquently indwged in by drovers to inorease their weight. The case was brought before Justico Soullyand given to s Jury composed of butohers, yard-men, and ssloon-keopors, and, on the strength of & tech- nical ruling by the Court, the jury so- quitted- the dofendant. Ho thersupon turned about and eued the agent of the Bocisty for cruclty to asnimals in not providing tho cattle with wator, and by the Lelp of thoeamo jury secured his conviction anda fine of $60. Of course the proceedingsin each caso wero but a farco and a mockery of justice. 1t was not tho duty of the agent of the Bociety to provide the cattle with water, and if ho had at- tompted to do it of course he would havs boon prevented. Tho roal objsat of bringing suit againat bim is to drive him away from the Btock- Yards, that butchers avd drovers may bo freo to practice cruellies with lmpunity. This fact should inspire the Bociety to ronewed efforts in ‘bohalf of the dumb beasts at the Stook-Yards. TILTON AT BAY, ‘Wo print in this morning’s supplomont the full toxt of Theodore Tilton's letter to tho Rev. Leonard Bacon, Moderator of the lato Congroga- tional Council. Tho lettor reopons the Beechor seandal in such a mannor that it will bo impossi- ‘bl for Mr. Boechor and his frionds to maintain silones any longer without virtually confesaing & guilt that will be subject to manifold exaggora- tions and distortions. Mr, Tilton's lolter has been called out by a meries ot articles from tho pen of the Rev. Mr, Bacon, which have chamged him with bringing dighonor on tho Christian name, * Under tha ating of these charges Mr, Tilton has spoken, aftor a silence of three years and more. Ho bag not told the whole story even now; but a caroful roading of his lotier will reveal the socret to thoso who have followed the varlous develop- monta in the osse. It ia not as bad aa tho story which the Woodhull told, and whick Mr. Tilton characterizes aga ¢ wicked and horriblo alander." But that it is bad enough, is attested by the lotter from Mr. Beechor to Mr. Tilton, in which thé former humbles ‘himsolf beforo the latter and before Gad, bogs for forgivoness, and wishos Lo w ag dead. Mr, Tilton publishes but a portion of this lottor. ‘Ihe unpubliehed part evidently tells the story, and is a confession of Mr. Beocher's that somo grave offense has boen committod, It now appeara from BMr, Tilton'a lettor thut he hias boen suffering disgrace and contumely for yoars in ordor to save Mr, Beachor from pubtio ehomo, His intimaoy with the Woodhull orowd ‘was & sacritice on his part with tho hope of sup- pressing what he finally printed.

But when tho roport wus made it eot forth that Mr. Tilton hed Loen aited to apposr and refused. BMr. Tilton, who was present at the oburch moeting, then and there protested by deolaring that ho was ‘ready to moet any charges Mr, Boscher might bring agalnet bim, Idr, Boeokor said he Lizd no ohargos to make. Bubsequently Mr, Beochor's wuper, the Ohristian Union, printed the falso report of tho Comunttes nnd mede no mention of Mr, Tillon's protest, In this and othier ways dotalled in Mr, Tilton's lottor baa ho boon mu~ ligned wuntil forboaranco has bacome a dibonor, ‘Even mow, Mr, Tillon's ex- poge i rathor o lament thun aa at- ok, Hls tone ls oo of sorrow thab he Loy beon forced to make publie an offonse whioh he could never forgive, but which he ‘would rathor havo borne in silonce.

Among the killed and woundod of tho last day of tho gossion was & bill commonly called tho little tariff bill. \When Mr. Dawos presonted tho roport of the Conforenco Committeo upon it ho enid that lio had opposed the duty of $6 por ton on juto butts, but in deferonce to the domands of tho Weat hio bad yieldod and placed jute butts on tho altar of his country! The Houso then pro- ceeded to Lill his bill, and sorved it right. Tho little tarift bill was a littie villain, and tho proposod duty oo juts buits serven to lllustrate its charaotor 0s well as anytbing olse. Xruno disco omnes. Juto butts aro imported from India, and are umsed for tho manufsoturo of wrapping paper and coarao bags. It is possiblo, howover, to uee flax-tow ax a subatituto for juto, If tho price is sufficiontly high. Unfortunatoly, of Into yoars, the prica of jute has not boen high enough to give the tow-mills & profit. Botho tow-millors asked Congress to pans a law to in- cronso the prics of jute. Congress, with tho benevolent purpose of edding to the oxpensea of all the papor-mills and bag-factoriesin the country, to eay nothing of the forty mililons of people who, in one way or ao= other, consumo wrapping-papor and cosrse bags, proceodod to add $6 per ton to the prico of jute, in tho only way kuown fo it, viz.: that of station- inga man witha gun at esch harboron the coaat, with orders to blow out the brains of any other man who should seek to enter this blessod land with & ton of jute, unless he should first pay 0. It was not claimed that thia duty was levied for the purpase of rals- ing revenue and satisfying tho demands of tho bloated bondholders. On the contrary, it was desired and intended to prevent juite, aa far as possible, from coming into the country at all. And this tax was sought to be imposed on the paper-mills and bag-factories, and tho consumers of their products for the honofivof & few boggarly tow-grinders, whom Mr. Darwes dignifiod with the pame of **tho West.” I'he West domands 8o and so, said Mr, Dawes; therofore, though it is against the intorests of my section, I lay jute butts on the altsr of my country! What a glorious Jephihah we have in ourDawes! What a miserable country this will ‘be when he goes out of Congrossl Who will eacrifice his first wifo's relstions for tho upbuild- ingof the great Wost when he is gone ? Tho probability is that this littls tariff bill contained compensationa for somo of Mr. Dawos' conatituenta quita sufilofont to balarce the losses inourred by otbers on juts butts. If not, the more fool ho, It is barely possible that he fancies the West is desirous of seeing jute ad- vance in the market §6 per ton,—though it is not probable ho is o groen ao that, Wooan tell him that scarcoly amybody in tho West knew thot thoro was & tow-mill this side of Ireland wuntil they loarnod it from the discusslon on the little tarift bill. ‘Tho attempt to divort a cortain amount of the oarnings of the psper manufacturers t6 the pockets of the tow-millors without value re~ celved was an Impudont fraud,—in no wise dif- foront from tho otler swindling features of tho protective tariff, but of a pattorn therewith,— and, while it is a small thing as compared with the iron aud ateel grab-law, wo are glad it was dofeated, togethor with all the other potty-laxoeny provisjons in the bill. THE JOWA ANTI-MONOPOLISTB. Tho platform adopted by the Anti-Monopoly partytof Towa on Wedncaday last is tho best declaration of principles, both politiosl and finan- ciul, that has been put forth by any 8tate Con- vontion thia year., It is a sober aud clesr state- ment of the exiating evils of publio administra- tion, and it betraya a mastor band infts keen percoplions andits incisive language. Iis ro- cital of the numorous and glaring invasions of tho rights of tho Southorn Btates, and ol the repoated acts of fraud and favoritism, prodignli~ Ly aud oxtravagancs, on the part of the Federal Administration, is most pointed and foralble, And, a8 rogarda the currency question, that pons asinorum of all the previous conventions, the Towa platform {8 extromely gratifying, We ro- produce the resolution a8 passed : That the faith and credit of the nation must be malntained fuviolate, that the public debt, of whatever kind, sbould bo paid in striot accordance with tha law undar which it wau contracted, That an ovor-lssue of paper money, being ut variance with the principles of 4 sound financiul policy, the circulating medium shiould bo based upon ita redemption iu apocle at tho aarifeat practicablo day, and ita convartibility into a epecie-oquivalent ot the will of the holder, snd that, subject to theso restrictions, It g tho duty of Congross to 60 provide, by appropriate legixlation, that the vol- ume of our Government currency shall at all times bo adeqguate to the general business and commerce of the country, and be equitably distributed among the sev- eral Btates, This I8 an honorable utternnce, 2ud one which will boar tho test of both morul and economio golence, If tho Iliinols Indopendenfs hed sdopted au oqually wise and dignified platform, their victory would Lsve been already won They would hnve secured the Learty support of thousands of Republicans who are disgusted with their own unmanly rnd equivocal roso- lutions, and would have rendered it imposaible for the Demooarats to do aught bub vatity thelr platform and nominoes, The Spaniards in Ouba are doing good servico, it in no othor way, by pointiug a moral avd adoruing a tale for the beuofit of psper-monoy intemporates in Amerioa.

Of courso this is shoor robhery; but we do not seo that it is much worse, after all, than the plan for tho roliof of *‘the dobtor class* which noourod the approval of & msjorlty of the American Congross not many months ago. To bo mure thore is a difference betwoon till-tapping and bank-burglary; and tho two Benators from Illinofu are wolcomo to make tho most of it. ——e COOK COUNTY AND THE TAX-GRAB LAW. Tho decision by tho Buproms Court thiat no taxos can bo collacted under the grab law i of much concern ta tho tax-payors of tuis city and county. Tho total valuation for the Biato in 1873 was $1,041,013,046, and tho sum suthor- {z0d by Jaw to bo raised $2,600,000. To produce this amount of revonue on that aggrogate yaius~ tion roquired a rato ons mill and nino-tonths of o mill, which wonld have yioldod not only the required $3,500,000, but $49,000 surplus, In- stoad of cortifying that rato, tho Auditor notified the Oounty Olorksto oxtond the taxos for rovenuo purposos at tho rateof two mills and nine-tonths of amillon tho dollar. The rato roquirad to produce tho authorlzed rovonwo was 10 conly on tha 9100, aud the Auditor diroctod the local ofiicers to extond tho tnx at tho rato of 37 conty on tho $100. The difforonce, mmnounting lo B couts on the $100, wan tho oxoons, which was lovied to cover tho rallrond-ald dobt, and which oxcons the Huprome Court hns deoldod to ba uwnconntitutlomal. X amounts in the Sinte to $1,100,000 on tho tax of 1873, Tho assossniont on valuation of il kindn of proporty in Cook Couuly was 803,524,125, The amount of tax luvolved In thls abatement ordered by the Supremo Court, in this county alona, is £242,019. This smount of the tax lavy for 1878 has beon sot sside by tho Bupreme Court. It now romaina for the County Attorney to take tho propor logal stops to have this reduction mado in the levy for this county. Thatisa re- spectable sum of money, and I paid, as it must be unless legally avoided, cannot bo rocovered back. Its collootion must thorefora bo stopped now, and it is the business of the County Attor- oy to attend to this at once, and bofore the col- loction of tho tax is enforced by sale, [P — BAT CLARK AND GOV. TAYLOR, The political mountains of Wisconsin have 1abored and brought forth s rdiculous mouse. Tho dominant party in that State is now gronn- ing becauso Sat Clark didn't get swoffice. Bat baving worked for the eloction of the prosont Govornor and the success of the Reform party, immodiataly after the olection, like most othor spavined patriots who toil for tho good of the country, called for his pay. Like somo fastidi- ous boggars, who intimate that they would rather have pound-cake than cold broad, Sat intimated that he would take the Wardenship of the State Penltentinry, and, according to his own state- ment, tho Governor promised him he should have if, and then ungratefully gave it to some other joilor. He then camo round the second time, and informed tho Gov-, ernor that ho would take & Railway Commission- ership. According to his own statoment, the Govornor promised him this algo, and then gave it to anothor, Twice disappointed in this cruol manner, 8at Clark et down and wroto & sharp Iottor, in which he abused the Goveraor without stint for hi tresohory and perfidy, snd throat- oned & wholo sorles of disastors to the Reform party. Thus far there is no especial nood of comment, nor is there anything Inapproprinte in the lettor to the Govornor, Ho has the right to complain of his cavalier treatment. the right to abuse the Governor, the right to rave and threaten and bluster, or make a fool of bimself generally. Itis puroly a porsonal mat- tter botween himsolf and tho Governor. Ho ‘may denounce the Governor s8 an ungratefa] wrotch, call him out, sbuse bim through the publio pross, refuse to recognizo him, out his acquaintance and that of his family, nover voto for him sgain, and tench his ohildren, if ho hina any, that Gov. Taylor is & monster of such frightful mion aa to be hated neods bat to be seon, No ono would object to all this; itis Sst Olark's clear right. But hore it should bo allowed to ond, Instoad of this, o later dispatch atates that the letter has created o great stir among politicians, and that it prossgos & disruption of the Reform Party! Dreadfull If the Reform Party is dependent upon Sat Clark, or any othor damagod politiclan, for its existencs, if it has no vitality of its own,* it it is built up on the Wardenship of the Peni- tontinry, tho sooner it disrupts the better. We lope, howevor, that there is spunk onough among the Roformers of Wisconsin to take any apavined. politician by the coat-collsr, show bim tho door, aud lot him do his whinlug autside. It thorois any manliness, any indopend- onco, any real stuff in tho Roform Party of Wis- consin, it will take no more heod of the waila of a disappofuted ofice-secker than it would of the blowing of the wind, If thoy are golug to shiv- er overy time a gorcheaded politiclun threatons, thoy hod Dbettor go out of the roform busiucss altogetlior. Sat Clark and bila grievanaes are of no more consaquencs than Tom Jones and his grlovances, It is & urivate mattor puely be- twoon him and Gov, Taylor, snd, if he cannot settle it eatisfactorily, it is simply n mettor of sheer impudence for him to paraie it ‘beforo tho publio; at the same timo, it i8 vory silly for the Reform party to get in & fume and » frot this hot wosther becauso somn candidato for the Ponitentiary hias not yot got what he do- Borvei.
