Since the indict- ment of theso men thers have boen many cascs of supposed incondiarism, but monc of them have warranted judicial proceedings.

Ald. Bailey introduced in the Common Coun- cil 1ast evening & preamble and resolution direct- ing the Comptroller to advertiso for & City-Hall site in the Wost Division. The proposition cau~ not bo seriously considored; o churitable pre- oumption s thot it was not soriously mesnt. ‘Wo havo bad rocent and costly exporionco of the utter powerlereness of buman cfforts to force Dbusiness from ta accustomed cheunela; ond ta placa tho City-Hall {n the Weat Division witbout removing the business-centre there would be supreme folly. Addto this the faot that the appropriotions for xebullding the City- Hall will not b available if any othor location than the presewt one I8 chosen, and we have an auvswer to Ald.

It an ovent as grim and distressing as tho Toechor-Tilton sonndal can bo eald to hove o ridiculous sido, it is found in tho attompt of Mr. Tilton to soe his wito at the residonco of tho Ovingtons, and tho consequont amazement and indignation of tho tempormy guardians undor whoso roof she Les taken sholtor, Snys Mr. Ovington: *I caunot fmagine what sublima impudenco could have fnduced Mr. Tilton to call upon his wifo at my houso on Sunday,” and Mrs. Ovington, with wide-opened oyes, chimes in: “The idea of that dreadful man anlnn horo to ses Llizaboth [" It certainly is vory remarkablo that Mr. Tilton should have auy desiro to soo Mrs. ilton. What possiblo in- torost can ouo havo in thoothor? What ro- Iations oxiat between this unhappy husbpud and equally unhappy wifo iutimate enough to war- rant & porsoual Intorviow botwoon thom ? Wiy should Theodoro pull 3r. Ovington's door- bell and distmb Llizaboth, as eho was pluying “Ifomo, Swoet Home,” on Mra. Ovibpton's piano? Elizaboth declines to stop hor tune, notwithatanding Theodore's intorcessions, and fluplly tho Ovingtons' sorvant sbows him the door, and, a8 ho leaves, Mra. Ovington’s plano informshim * There s no place like home.” As Mr. Tilton surveys his liome, shaltorod by this scandal, bo probably appreclatos tho force of the soathing old song. The first thought which will occur to the roador s, what barm would tho intorview huve done, My, Tiltou, of course, did not go to the Ovingtons to oo bin wife without o motive, It 18 absurd to supposo that he intendod to do per- eonal injury to Mrs. Tilton, It is oqually absurd to suppoue that bia purpose was tokiduap hor and carry hor back to Livingston street by force. Tho motive must be sought oulside of avy foolings of Latred or reveugo on Alr. Tilton's part. At the time ko called at the Ovingtons, be was making amnngemonts to transfer tho Livingston etreot house to Mra, Tilton, to settle up sn incumbrance which rosted uponit and might otheriwiso cloud Mrs. Tilton's title, and to provide his four children with o home oud the opportunities for education, To oifoct thiv, it was perhaps necessary to eao Mva, Tilton. 8he could nover gain possession of the homo by sen- timentalizing upon Mra. Ovington's piano about it. Negotiations wero ponding to whicl sho was nparty, Thero was, thorofore, a very good rea- son why Mr. Tilton should huve dosirod to seo’ ber, ond no very good roason why dMrs, Tiltoy should bove rofused, or why the Ovingtons ghould have eoxprossed any surpriss at 1l Tilton’s impudeuce.” Bhe was as safo from harm as if sho Lad been dofended by a battory of cannon, She was in the vory hoart of the Boechier camp, sheltered undor ho roof of bis trongest adherants, withiu call ot any time of Plymouth Church, of tho Investigating Commit- tee, of Bucchior's connsel, and of Beacher him- self. ‘Theodore Tilton had vontured into the camp all alono, andoue word from his wife could lisva braught all tho forces af tho onomy dowu upon him, The facetiousnens af the situation evidently must hove impressed itsclf upon tho Ovingtons and suggeated to them tho propriety of making on cxplanation of this romarkably watch- ful aud jeulous care of their charge. In this explanation, wo have tho sceret of thoir amazement at Mr, Tilion's impudence in calling to see his wifo, Say tho Ovingtons: ¢ e had some cunning motive and some plau to carry out. His power over his wife is go groat that, if sho hod pormitied him to soo her, ho might have forced her oven to accompany Lim to his house on Livingston stroet agein.” Iere it ig. It is not fear of Mr. M, Tilton nor concorn for Mys, Tilton, but concorn for Mr. Beccher. Qnce let Mra. Tilton go home, what would be- come of Beochor, of the Investigation Commit- tee, of Plymouth Church? Gather Mr. nnd Mra, Tiltou and the four children once more to- gethor in that Livingaton streot home, with the door open for a roconcillation, what would bo- come of our cob house? What would become of the ingenious theorles of Beccher's counsel, the secret doliborations of tho Committeo? The spectaclo of an estranged houschold and wifo coming togethor again, forgiving and ' making up,” and rearanging thelr childron's nest, is not rucha terrible spectaclo to outsiders as it is to Mr, oud Mrs, Ovington, It is not ouo of those rack- ing and distressfal toles that * should be roared {u dismal hell,” Qn the contrary, A censorious sud backbiting world could find nothing in it op- posed to the Now Tostminent, the Bhorier Cate- chism, or aven the Confession of Faith of Plymouth Church. The astonishmont of Mr. and Mrs, Ovington ot the sudacity of Litton, aud the painfal pictura thoy draw of the couse- quonces of his huving au intorviow with Lis wifo, must seek an explanation eleowhoro, The pub. lic will not Jook beyond the Iuvestigating Com- mitteo to dnd it. <THE LATE ‘‘CORNER"-SQUABBLY, Tho late ¢ corner,” it {8 more than probable, will put the Chicago Board of Tradoina vory ugly dilemma, As wostatod In our issue of Saturday, the monagers of tho ¢ cornor ' bought from and gold to the sume parlies, intending o make, and to 8 o'clock—Lhe hour at which tho business dny clones under tho rales of tho Doard—ihat lhe porsons purchasiug could not, although they had mede all tholr preparations, doliver back o timo, und thus maot their ongngemonts. The mauouvering of the ongincers of the “corner" wmade tho fuliillment of tho contracts of those who hed praviously purchased from them a physical impos- #ibility, Now, tho yulos of tho Board of Trade pravido that, in cugo property coutracted for fu- ture dolivery is uot delivezod on thoe day of tho muturity of tho coutract, the purohagor may con- wder it forfclted, aud, if ho 6o ohooses, seitle with the sellor ut the avorzgo market price on that day. Should the seller rofuso to sottle, or shionld hie be unablo to sottle, ha muy, on churges proferrad agaiust bim by any momber of the as- sociation, bo suspended from all tho privilegen of wombership, Thoso futorested in tho lato ournor, It may be assumed, will oxpoot tho Dosrd to onforce thewo rulos, notwithe atanding their own aotion pruventod (hole in point of fact making, their delivery so clogo | vietlms from observing them. The latter wiil natually nppoal to tho courts, should they bo sugpended. The courts will, most lkely, disrogard tho deciston of the Board, Tho Board can only look to the lotier of its rules, The courts will look b thelr equity in individual ongas, and diaregard thom if they violato ita principles. Tho Chicago DBoard of Trado {8 tliereforo In this position: If it onforces its by- laws, it will inour tho fmplled consure of the conrts, If it does not enforco thom, it will incur tho consuro of cortaln of ita membors, Now, what {s tho Bored to do? Turn which way it will, enforca theso rules or rofuss to onforce tham, it can senvely fail ta giva such ovidonco ot its impotonoy as shall draw diseradit upon it " 3lon will vory naturally ask: What is the uso of n Board of Trado thatcannot so much as enforco its by-laws? It haa boon alrendy suubbed moro than onco by the courts, It will bo snubbed maoy a time again unloss it om- bracos an oquitablo systom of logistation, and provides for auch cases ay that of Friday tast, by ndopting » sorios of by-laws in harniony with tho sottled privelples of jurlsprudonce, Unloss it takes somo such step 1t will find it impossible to uteor cloar botwaon tho mnuagers of “cor- nors” and the courte, Ita owa sell-respoot and permanoncy domand that it should rovise its by~ Iaws immodintely, 80 ay lo mako,thom enforcea- ble undor tho jawa of the land, STATE-RAILWAYS FINANOIALLY CONBID- ERED. Mr. Btanloy Jovons, Professor of DPolitical Economy in Owens College, Dauchostor, En~ gland, hos publishod o valuablo osssy on tho finaneial aspects of tho purchase of railways by tho State. Ho Inys down four conditions nocos- eaty for the successful management of an ine dustry by tho Stato. Thoso aro: 1. 'The work must bo of an invariablo and rou- tine-lke nsture, 8o a8 to bo porformed accord- ing to fixed rules. 9, It must bo porformed undor tho public oye, or for tho servico of individuals who will im- mediately detoot and expose any failure or laxity, 3. Thero must be yery little exponditure of capitel, #o that onch yenr's revenuo and exponso nccount shall roprosont, with approximato acou- ruey, tho real commeicial success of tho undor- taking, 4. Tho oporations must bo of such a kind that their union under one comprehensive Govern- mont wonopoly will lead to great advaniage and cconoiny, Tha worh of the Post-Offico fulfills all these conditions. It i routino; nvy mistake In it is at once complained of g its capital expenditure is very sosnty\(in Englhd only .£164,000 out of £3,685,000, or n twonty-second part of the wholo); and its precision and dispateh aro pro- motcd by the Government moaopoly. Tho Fall- alt Gazelle considers tho comparative failuro of tho Stato-telograpl aystom fu Eugland as duo to tho lurgo capital required at its incoption, Its failure to moot the thivd of the conditions Prof. Jevons lays down hing soriously embarrassed its workings., The Professor thivks tbat railway business eatisflos only oue condition, tho second, and tuat only partially. Its work is not routine- likko, but shifting, requiring to bo adjusted from timo {o timo {o meet or to creato uow demands. Jlorcover, * the economy arising from unity and wontralization of managomont would be more than counteibalanced by tho want of economy in tho purchine, use, and sale of stores,” No ono conversant with the way in which Governmont conttacts are lot will doult tlis statoment: Finally, & vast amount of capital would have to beswuk ia order to get pos- session of tho railways. DMuch more than thelr value would Dave to be paid for them. Whon the propriety of buying up tho Irish railronds was being discussed, tho stock of tho respective companies rogo from 8 to 47, from 183 to 87, from 83 to 84, from 46 to 05, from 66 to 93, and from 99 to 112, It is ovi- dent that a railrond would fetch a far highor prico after tho Stato hed decided to buy it than before. In theao casos the more possibility of such & decision trobled the market-prico of somo hares and doubled that of otbers. Whon Great Dritain bought up the telegraph lines, tho coun- try was roundly cheated. The stockholders of {he Xate of Man Tolegruph Company recoived 160 timos the market-prico of their shares boforo the State purchase had been decided upon. Thoy had paid in £6,000, but their £20 sharea wore worth ouly 88, Yot thoy got .£11,774 from tho plethoric public purse. The publio men who are laying plans for the acquisition of the rail- ways by the Governmont will do well to buy the volume of *“Owens Collego Eseays and Ad- drsues,” which contolus this cogont argnment of Prof. Jevong, and pondor tho facts and infer- onces of the lntter. il GORDON GORDON'S CAREER, Tho adventurer known in this country aa Lord Gordon Gordon committed suieido in Manitoba on Saturdaylast. Ho died as ho had lived— fraudulently, Hle talont for choaling justico was nover more couspicuously displayed than m tho last act of hislifo, Ho was undor arrost, and begged pormission of tho oflcors to change his clotbing. Being reloased for this purpone, he improved tho opportunity to blow his braina out. Gordon Gordou’s earcor is ono of tho most Brill- jant in the aunals of crime, It bogan in tho vory humblo walks of an English gonllemans gorvant, Hia sorvicein this enpacity was im- proved to the full in acquiring the rudi- ments of polite education, aa it goen in England and America, He learned to swoar in & becoming manner, to gamble succossfully, to stand up undor his bottles like a man, to encor at female virtue ; and to those avcomplish- monts wero added tho gifts with which ho was eudowed by Nature—such as ehamelossness aud Inordiusto solf-confidenco. Cortalu misadven~ tures with trndesmen whom ho hed defrauded compolled bis emigraiion to Amorica. Ha dashed uto notorioty fu Now York by & sheer oxercise of {mpudonco that is elmost witbout a proce- dont, Mo clalmed to bo u real Lord aund tuo posseesor of a ewollen bank account, That was opough. Ho waa taken to the heart of Now York scoloty, the mommas with mar- ringesblo daughters bemg especlally oapti- vated by tho oxtrinsio morits of the mon, Having thus establishod a position, ho turnod with tho ready Instiot of u knavo to tho ime provemeut of tho main chanco, e dabbled in stock nud gold oporations fu & gentlomanly way; | and won tho confldenco of tho Btreot by the crodit of hie sponsory, who kuew uothing of him oxcopt that ho was rocoived in good mociety, Among the gentlomen with whom ho offectod buslnosn rolations woro Jay Gould and Horaeo I Olaik, ‘Lbese oxporiuncod judges of humau ne~ ture, we may suppose, eoon plorced through tha outer-covering of Gordon Gordon's churactor, ‘Thioy not him down for & common rusenl, Inthis thoy orved, Ife was o nost nucommon raseal, When he was avrcsted for fraud, Gould ana Olurk siguod bis ball-bond, hopiug thus to pub him under obligations, and secure a conveniont instrament for aifieult and unpleasant worlk. Dofors the trinl camo on he flod the conntry, taling up a rosldenco in Manitobs, The nttompt of his bondsmon to seouro his pereon, tho arest of costain ofilcialn in Fort Griry on » chargo of kldnappiug, and tho flnnl escapo of Gordon, aro mattors franh in tho minds of ordinary nowspa~ por ronders. Ounly n few days ngo thero was. anothor development of the lkidoupping sehiomo in tho brutal and almost deadly aggnult wpon Atty.-Gon, Clark, of -Manitobs, in the strcots of 8t. Panl. Tho ond which hims come Is appro- priato. It rounds out tho full periud of a gon- erous rascal’s possibllitiey, SELECTION OF CONGRESSMEN, @ The Conservative party in Virginin bave re- vived tho ancicut and honorablo rule, so general in tho botter days of the Ropubiic, of recogniz- ing no candidato for Congress who shall seol by porgounl canvass to have bimeolf nominatod, The redolution, sdopled In Juune Iast, was as followa: Tuat on netlvo canvass for the nomination by ss plranta for Unngrexsioual honors in grastly to bo dop- recated, and should bo discountenancod, On July 27, ox-Gov. Gilbert O, Wallker and Col. John IL Guy uddrossod & large meoting at Tuchmond ag enndidatos socking tho Consorva~ tivo nomination for Congross; and, uext day, tho State Exeoutive Committco fusued o card robukiug hoth gontlomon, and agnin Improssing upon tho public the fudecorum of any wuch at- tempt to forestall tho popular judgment. Thomns Whitchesd, an aspitant for Con- grossional honors in the Sixth Vivginia Distrlet, hae, in like manner, drawn upon himself the discipline of tho Swte Committee. Throughout tbe Stato genorally the regulation 1 accaptoed, As n rosult, delegates to nominating conventlous i thnt Stato go unpledged and uninstructad, and thiey ave {reo to make the bost chotco possiblo, Tho Exceutive Committeo of tho wamo party in tho State of Goorgia bavo fvencd cortain rogu- Iations for the coming eampaign, one of which iy a8 follows : Thut wo suggest that {ho peraonsl attendanes by anpirants for Cougress upon primurics snd county meetings for the purpoto of controlling their sotion, and upon Congressional Distriet meotinga for tho pur- poso of oloctioneering for the nomination, is dirre spectful (o thio delogated and unbecoming tha digulty of tho oflics sougat, This was the principle whicl governed all nowminations for Congross in tho Southern States bofora the War, and the result was that that seo- tion was alwnya rgpresonted by men of ability aud information, \hose personal charncter was beyoud reproach, Tho man who was suspected of haviug bought the votes of & delogato, or of having packed a locsl couvention, would, despite his nomiuation, been rojected by the peoplo, and his further resi- dence in that noighborhood would bocomo excoedingly uncomfortable, 'Fhore was & timo whon this sumo rale provailed in afl parts of tho Union, and it was owing to the general departure from this pructice that scats in the Senate have been mude erticles of morchandise, and that nominations for Representativos bave becomo as much a commodity as whest, oats, or potatoos. A lowering of tho goucral charactor of Congross, zud tho introduction ot mere adventurers, spoc- ulators, gamblors, and dishonest mon, have fol- lowed, Fifty yenrsngo Oukos Ames would have Loon oxpelled from Congress upon the firat hint of an effort to Intorest mombors in Crodit Mo- bitior, In 1872 thore woro not votes euough to expel him for the actual bribery of s dozen mombers, uor votes enough to censure those who had aceopted the bribes. Contrast tliis old and honorable practico, whish fa to bo revived in Virginia and Georgis, with the proccedings of the Convention which met at Elgin two yoars ago and nominated Gen. Stove Hurlbut for Congross, when the question of who shiould bo nominated depended on the ques- tion who would pay tho most for this or that delogution, Al over Towa, Wiscousin, Minne- gota, 1ndians, snd Iilnois, thoe Congrossional incumbonts aro marshsliug thelr hired baudy of oftico-olders to pack conventions and por- petuate thomsolves in Congress. Never, por- haps, in tho history of tho country has the can- vaes for nominations for Cougross boon 8o mean and degrading o8 among tho political majority this year. Tho uso of monoy reccived n sort of logitimpcy in Konsas, becanss the Republic- an party in Congrees refused to dise countousnee it. Its success there hos made its use genoral, and mnow no perdon daro venture to seck a nomination who has not the means, and who will no¢ pledge bimsolf, to poy liberally for the * expounsos” of the nomi- nation, and even moro liberally for tho * ex- pepsas * of the olection, The ofilee nover secks the individual nowadays. That being an lLonor~ able prinaiple, aud its observauce conducive to b0 publio interest, {t is no longer recopnized; thero being no money in it, it is discarded from tha code of modorn politios. The proceedings in Virginia and Georgin avo creditablo to those who havobogun them. Thoy indicate that though thoso peoplo may have been Rolely, they nevertheoless piace upon the oftico of a member of tho Congroes of tho United States a dignity and an houor wholly ignored among thoso of their countrymen who have not passed through the process of reconstruction, SHALL WE HAVE MORE SMALL STATEY P Ouo of tho schomon dovised for promotime the power of the Bepublican party iy tho udmis- sion g8 Btates of scnutily-peopled Torritorics which are suppasad to be sure to send tha right kiud of Represontatives and Sounators to Wash- ington, During tho Inst sossion of Congress, tho ilouso veted to admit Colorzdo and New Mexico.

THE POMEROY BRIBERY OABE, Tho Pomeroy bribory ense drugs itu slow length wloug, The Kansas Scustor protests his inuo- conco, yot botrays s most oxtraordinary drend of haviug his charaoter cleared of all suspicion by tho verdict of & jury. Four times has his caso been called, and four times has ho found monns to nvoid tlo meshes of the law, and to take ad- vantago of its delays. It is over & year snd & half sinco Pomeroy was arrosted for the erime of DLribery. T'he County Attoraoy filod an informa- tion against him. Pomeroy waived a prelimi- nary examination, a6 all distinguished oriminals aro wont to do, and gave $20,000 Lall. This he {ntondod, if hio could hielp it, would bo the ond of his prosecution, 1o made for Washington immodiately to domand an iuvestigation snd got, 08 ho hopod, whitewashed. In this bo did not succood. Abont five months after the ense was bogun, it was called fortrial, Hin attornoys then discovered that thoy knew nothing what- over about their client's cnse. Thoy bad not had timo to mnke themselves acquainted with the facts fo it, or to study up tho law of tho de- fonse. The delay was granted, aud tho lawyors allowed timo to discovor facts and principlos of law to establish that Pomoroy was not guilty of bribery, and that York lied whon ho said Lo was, Noithor facts mor legal principles to wuit laving beon discovered to sccomplish all this, anotuer dolay bocamo necessary whon tho trinl wos called a second timeo, aud Pomeroy 4o playod his cards that he obeained it. Botween tho first and socona calling of his case Pomeroy liad his stroot-encounter with Conway, Conway was arrostod and brought to trial. FPomeroy was needed a8 3 witness against Conway, and bys fortuuate colncidence—fortunato for the ox- Sonator—tho two triala wore sob down for the samo day and in differont countios. Of courso Pomoroy had to appear fn the Conway caso ; and justice was again cheated of horrights. At tho third torm of the Bhawnco County District Court, the caso was called again, This timo it was Pomeroy's attorneys, not Pomeroy himeelf, who were necded olsowhore. His lawyors demnnded a postponoment of his case bocause their presonce wass absolutely demauded in tho United Statos Circuit Court at Leavouworth. Tholr request was grauted, and tho caso fixed for July 97. July 27 camo. It wos supposod that this timo the case would cortainly proceed to trisl beforo Judge Morton, of Shawnoes County. Suddenly, howevor, it was learned that Judge Morton had prejuaged the oase, and a motion for ohaogo of venus was mado and granted. Bofore this was douwo, bowever, & motion hiad beon made to quash the indictmont, sud it was only aftor it failed that Pom. oroy's lawyurs had the case romoved from Judgo Morton's jurisdiction, During thoe iuter- val botween the third and fourth attempts to yench o trin), Pomoroy engaged, a8 it is eaid, an sttornoy to go about collectivg signatures ask- ing that & nolle prosequi should be entered in his case. o puccoailed oven in obtaining tho signa~ turo of A, M.

DABY-FARMIMG IN NEW YORK, Dr, Johnson, of Now Yorl, was rocently ealiod to attond an infant, amed John Grahsm, in one of tha tenement-honses of New York City.
