The Chicage Tiibune, Beptember 28, 1874. Tuesday Morning, Judgo Rogers refuses to bo & candidate for Congress 1n tho Bocoud District on the Peoplo’s tickot. A mooting of Southern Congrossmen finter- ested in tho third-term project was held in ‘Washington last night. All present agreed that it should be, but nobody scoms to have said that it can bo. Tho John Genson whosge desth 18 annonnced this morning was a prominent citizen of Buffa~ 1o, and Representative in the Thirty-cighth Con- gress, serving ns o momber of the Commtteo on Elections. 1T was n delegate to the Chicago Convention of 1864, Beyond this his raputation was chietly local. A fight occurred in tho meeting of the * Peo~ plo" in tho Sixteenth Ward last night. Tho Communists attompted to gain possesrion of the - D), and wore soundly beaton for. their pain, It should be undorstood that the Communists are bursting with grent thoughts, and epilling them all about tho streets, whoro they are for the most part wasted. All that thoyaskis o sbare in some indoors meoting, with the privilogo of spenking a8 tho spiri} moves, and not paying the hall-rent. This domand encountors some oppo- sition, na witnoss the Sixteenth Ward meoting. Some interesling reading will be found in ouy spectl dispatch from New York concerning tha mysterious relations of Mr. Carpenter to tho Kollogg Govornment, and the surprising incon- sistoncies which marked his positions on tho Touisiana question at differont times during its cansideration in tho Sonate, Tho charge ot tho Kellogg poople agaimst Mr. Carpenter, which, wo are bound to say, is not supported by sntisfac- tory evidenco, is that ho recelved money from Kellogg oslensibly on account of an argument in the United States Supreme Court, but really In compensation for his exertions in the Sennto Obamber and at the White Houso, Prof. Seymour'sletter, accepting the Bishoprio of Illinois, is published thig morning. Wa think it will go far to romove prejudices, and to open @ way for the now Bishop to the bearts of all the churchmen in tho dlocose. It breathos a spirit of gontloness aud devotion to the cause of pure religion which is manifestly truthfui and above monn or ignoblo considorations. Prof. Soy- mour bag ouly to fulfill s promise in orderto ba a worthy successor to the lnmented Whitehouse ; it lio Iy not 8o, wenkuoss of mind rather than of heart will bo the cause of his failure, and such a deficlency common report forbids us to expect. Really it does remind cuc of the aunouuce- ments inthe Court Gazetles across the wator to voad in tho Associated Press dispatohos ting morning: * President Graut, sccompanied by tho Hon. Marshall Jowell and Gen. Babeock, vis- ited Park Thentro to-night, and witnessod the play, *Tho Gitdod Age.’ The President porson- 8lly complimented r. Raymond on his porform- uce of the part of Col. Sellers,” The sondjug of this dispatch {8 an implication that Westorn pooplo Lava coma to s high piteh of snobbery; and tho only bit of consolation for it fa that tho Prosidont hau allowed himself to bo naed as an advertisomont by o theatrical manager, and is therefora humble enough in his own aapirations, The Grand Jury of Brooklyn bas found n criminal indictmont against 3r. Moulton for the libol of Mies Edus Dosn Proctor. Now it will cortainly appear whother Gen. Butlor is good for snything as » lawyer, His advice brought Mr, Moulton iuto his prosegt dificultios; and it ghould be 8 much o duty s & priviloge for tho General to oxorciso hin splondid talonts on bebalf of his unfortuunte client. Toaman who cleared Oakes Ames and saved Jayne, tho rescuo of poor Moulton may at first seemn an oasy task, But the court which has this case bbforo it i differont from the weak tribunal at Washington which soquitted Amos and Jayno; aud what the rosult may benoons can tell, However, Qen, Butlor may a8 woll understand that hia reputes tion foir *smartness' will not survive the oon- viction of bin cllent.

Tho flist election, it wil be remomhored, rosulted in mo cholco, though the Republican candidato rocoived a plurality of all the votos cast. In tho olection Junt beld tho Republican candidate was choson, haviog n majority of 3,787, Tho siguificanco of tho sffair cannot onslly bo oxplained. Ifit shows that a majority of the pooplo in Maino-ot~ Loiro favor & Ropudle, it aleo shows thota vory respectablo minority favor somothing olso; for, s tho aggrogato voto of the Dopartmont is betweon 75,000 and 100,000, a majority of 8,787 s mnothing to Lonst of. It is not an unressonable suppositin, that o majority of the French pooplo would ve found to support any form of Governmont that made & shiow of strength and stability; and the roal balauco of power lics with those who are walting to seo in which dircotion the majority inclinos, theinselves comprising no inconsidera- Dlo part of the fual and decislve majority. The Ropublican ofico-holders in Michigan aro just now very thoroughly disgusted. Thoy 1ad fanciod because it was an off-year in poli- tica they would escape tho customary assoss- mont for campalgn purposes, When Chandlar rane in Michigan, howevor, it is not an off-yoar, and tho customary announcemont hins boon sont toall tho Faderal oftico-holdors fu the Btata by the Becratary of the Republican State Central Com- milteo, uotifying them *'that for tho goneral purposes of the campaign you have boen agsossed —— per cent on your salary, The amount is —, which you will oblige by transmitting at once to 8. D, Bingham, Lansiug, Mich,, making all drafts and orders payable to him, Tho receipt will be promptly acknowl- odgod, and the money faithfully espended for tlio Republican causo. In all cases vouckers will bo taken, and oxpenditures subjected to the ap- proval of the Commiittee," Thopramptuess with which this notitication to the ofiice-kolders to wolk up to the Capiain's offico and settio hns heen sont out indicates moro or less of tropida- tion smong tho managors.» This maynot becon- soliug to tho victims, but they ought to romem- bor that it is only fair for thoso who danca to pay the fddlor. Now light is thrown on tho Louisiana question this morning from sevoral sourcos. Seunator Schurz has again taken Marshal Packard in band, dovoting to that excollent gontloman o conmidorablo part of a specch delivered yesterday in Mason, Mo, Tho Benator oxposes the weakness of tho Packard-Emory correspondence, showing how ‘“tho honest soldior™ has been made tho instrument of political maungors witkout know- ing it, aud how tho orders from Washington for movements of troops wero at tho instance of Packard, Casoy, and fho rest, Advancing to a considerstion of Alarshal Packard's singue lar functions ag Chairman of & Repube lican Btato Committeo and s Fedoral offlcial, the Benator inquires whetlier the possession of this doublo authority may not bo a ground for suspicion and distrnst smoug the Demoacrats of the State. To appreciate the forcs of tha argument at this point, it is nocessary to roalize that tho Fodoral official in Louisiana occu- pies. o peculiar station. Ho sets up Gov- ernments; and ho pulls them doww. Ha places eoldiors about the State-Houso, ood domands presports of membars af the Lig- islnture, or, whon need be, ho takes a quorum of oithor Houso out of rench of tho State laws on a royenuo cuttor, It is therefore remsouable to ask, 08 Senator Schurz does, whother the Domo- erats of Louisiona have full agsurance of a fair oloction whilo Marehal Packurd romains in poor. Avothor dovelopment in the Louisians squab- blo—It long sinco ceased to be s war—is fur- nished by an opoen letter from Sonator West to Collcctor Casey. Ar. Wost has been muoh galled by an insinuation publicly given out by Kellogg, that tho cowardico of- the party is nob peculiar to its chiof, but is shared protty goner. ally by all tho leadors. This iden is now and painful to Mr., Woet, For bis own part, he wag at Washington during the lato revolution at tho special requeat of Kellogg, who wished him to “work up " the Fresident ; end, says Mr, West, it Kollogg intonds to ask his aupportors to ap- pearin arms under his standard, they way bo Justified in looking for auother leador. M, ‘West plainly indicates that the time hns como when ho and Casoy must brenk with Kollogg orgo down with him, and tho prospoot of accopting tho Iattor alternative. i8 too horrible for steady contemplation. 8o thiy letter Is thrown out as un oceasion for discord, which may finally rond tuo Kellogg faction in fragmonts. Tho pessage in thie lottor which remarks that the most dotor- mined stpportors of the Kellogg Governmont are begluning to *doubt whether it is compotent to oxaot obedience™ is a dircct provocation to blows. Btudents of curions political Htorature miil find mouch to admiro in. the oxtracts from Sena- tor West's lettor, furnished by telegraph, The pasgage in which tho Sonator coolly considers tho question of frauds in olootion, and as coolly decides that honesty fs, on the whole, s good polioy, should havoa oritical analysis. Parzionlar attontion is directod to tho sentonce which declares that the roform of tho elootoral eystem (i o, tho promise to abstaln from {raudulent counting) ought to bo preccded by a guarantce from tho Demoorats that thoy will not attompt the murder or intimi- dation of colorad votors, This Is as much a4 1o say that olrcumstancos may arfso which will justity tho making of falso roturns, sud wo belleve Boustor West's party in Louls- 1ana sctually procecded on thiy ssgumption in 1872, Tho recont couversion of Lord Ripon to Roman Catholicism has rateod a univorsal excite- ment in England, Nearly all the nowapapors, following tho load of the London Times, have boen lovish of abuge, some of them attributing tha ciango to the lowest polltical motivos, and othors broadly hinting that his intelleot is fin- palred, Tho London Standard, tho grost ‘Cory organ, howaver, como to his dofonse, and clahne that he bad sulolont roxsons for jolning tho Catholie Churoli, and theso not of a recondito unture, Hia couvoraton, It appoars, wna effeotod by bimsolf, not through the Influouces of any Priost or monsignour, and grow partly out of his rolations to I'roemamonry, o was a promi- nont Mason, and folt himsclf oballenged by the opposition of the Churah to his order to oxamino into 1t clolms, The rosult of tho [nvostigation wag fatal to his faith In Froomawonry, snd oventually lod him into the Church to which his forefathors had belongoed. LAST NIGHT'S COUNCIL PROOEEDINGS. Last night's session of tho Common Councll was & sad commontary on tho viciousness of the ward systom of politics, Whilo tho busincss men of Clifengo are alarmed to an oxtent that both our large fires have falled to produce, and whilo the very foundations of our commorcial syatom aro throatoned, the Common Councll spont s timo In baggling over political crimiuations and rocriminations, Tho [re- spectablo and consorvalive olomont was not strong onough .to keop down tho bad Dlood, which must needs find some low political consideration for every proposition looking to the improvement of Chicago'a condi- tion. Tho noisiest tnon in the Couucil could not riso above tho lovel of the ward system which Lroughit thom into being. Cullerton, who is s legislator for the State as woll au tho city, held bimaelf up a8 an filuetration of tho nes in a lion's skin, Ho trled to roar and only succeeded in braying. Ho bad o following of onough Alder- mon to ropder the noise loud aud offeneivo, There wore two or threo mon who vied with each other in moving a rofercnco of Mr. Dixon's ordiuanco appropristing &500,000 for Inying 8-inch pipe iu tho district bounded by Ohleago avonuo and Sixteonth atroot, and Hul- sted etrcot und tho lake, Tho merits of this proposition have alrondy beon explained, and sro roferred to in a subsequent articlo, For tho roat, tho nocossity for this improvemont is obvious =nd {ts cconomy rondily domon- strated. But tho Aldormon with Ears from tho outside wards immediatoly discovered that here wos an appropristion, no part of which would be expended iu tho particular distriots of which thoy aro tho presiding gonluses, This was sufliciont renson for thom to objoot to it immo- dinte considoration, ntterly iguoring the fact that tho district deseribed contains the great wass of the business and wealth of Chicago, aund that iss protection is cssontial to every party of the city, Unless it bo both protectod aud ingared, woaro of theopinion that tho people who Itve in the outsido wards will have to move oven furthor away. ‘Thon thore was a fierce op- vosition to it becauso it way foared that the Al- derman who introduced it intended it 0 bo used o83 lover to his porsonal success in politics. This thought was ewough to make twonty other Aldermen liow], any one of whom would have introduced n resolution to bave all tho water-pipes In” Chicago taken up ff Lo thought ho could thereby bo elect~ ed to & sccond term. In addition to theso opposing olemeonts, thero wore two or throo who have conceived a sudden affection for thie Holly wator-works, though it iz concoded on all sides that Chicago’s water-works in them- selvos are excoptionally thorough and probably superior to thoso of any city in tho country. Fortunately, tho ordinanco has been referred to tho Finance Committeo, whero it is likely to recoive fair consideration; and in the meantime wo may hopo that & majority of the Council will loarn to consider the proposition on its merits without referenco to politics, or wards, or other systems of wator- works, i Tho reputation of the Council wag partially redcomed from tho imputation putupon it by tho insuranco companics by tho engrossmont of tho ordinnuce appropriating 921,000 for addl- tions and improvemonts to the Firo Dopartmont, though ot without a nasal protest from one or two long-eared gontlemen. Having got this far, bowever, it is Jikely to bo fintlly passed. And, in the end, wo may also securo tho passago of tho resolution for additional pipes, after the gentlomen opposing it shall have oxhausted thoir rosourcos for damaging the reputation of thocity. Meanwhilo lot overy action of every individual Alderman bo rogarded with reference to the coming election. THE INSURANOE QUESTION, Wo havo to repeat to tho public that propor attontion hng not beon given to tho insurance question. Wo have not changed our opinion in tho lenst of the cowardice and moanness of the blow at the credit of Chicago given by tho National Board of Underwriters. That it was lurgely duo to s hostile mercantilo interest in New York is boyoud all doubt; nevertholess, bo tho motive what 1t may have boen, the blow bas beon strack, and the ‘onsequoncoy have to bo mot, DBecsuso n blow bo cowardly, it does not follow that its consequences aro Iess painful to the victim. Wo bave now to deal with tho con- soquences of tho withdrawal of the insuranco companies. ‘Wo do not bolieva that all the insurance com- panios composing tho Nationsl Buard agree to tho necossity of withdrawing from business in this city ; on tho contrary, wo Lave resson to Lelievo that all those who have by therr ofiicora made au juvestigation of robufit Chicago aro satisfied thint insuranco risks horo wero novor so Rood aa at ihis time, 'The Execntive Committoo of the Nutional Board have advised this moasure, but tholr advice is not obligatory, and, howevir readily all tho companies may be at this thue to withdraw, o large proportion are anxiously laok. ing to Clicago for such mensures of reform, such local monsares for the publie protaction, na will satisly thelr panio-striekon stockholders that Chicago is s great a flold for good insurance as it hay over been, Whatover damage that could be dono to our credit by the withdrawal of insuranco has beon done. It is our polley, & policy dictated by no- cossity, to put our clty 1n such condition as to all unprojudiced minds will carry confldence, ‘Wo havo, porhiaps, ono of the finost wator-sys- toms in tho conutzry. Iho wupply ls unfalling, We havo racontly completed n second tunuol un- dor tho lake, 80 a8 to securo that supply in cnao of an accidont to tho first tunnel, Our pumping establishment 1s far superior in capacity and fu evory othor respect to what it wae bofore 1871, Wo have, at & coat of o million and a half of dol. lars, provided for & second pumping eatablishi- mont two milos aud & half from tho firat, and oxtended the tunnol to theso now works. Whon this Inst improvement ehall bo comploted, s it will in & few months, there will be & supply of water always availablo and located at the extromos of tho city. Duxing tho Isat few yeats wo hovo laid many mites of 80-Inch maing in varfous parts of tho city, in tho contral ag woll a in tho remotor parts. Theso immonso arterlon food tho sorvice-pipos, which aro of 10, 12, and 8 inch dlsmoter. An B-juch aorvico-pips supplied by ® Dltich main Isdoomod by the engincers inoxbnustible by tho fire-engiues, In tho early history of Chloago, and baforo its presont magnltude wan sutlelpated, the morvico-pipes wore, in soms of the’ old parts of tho olty, of 8. 4, and G inch diamotor. For #ovaral yoars no pipes loss than 6 Inohes haa boon Iald, aud many milos of the ©old pipo of the small oapacity have beon re- placed orgeupplomentod with 8-inoh pipo. Thera wore loid in Chleago up to' March 81, 1874, no loss than 8513¢ miles of water-pipo of oll slzos, an oxtont of wator-pipo which will comparo with that of any other clty in the United Btaton. As wo havo sald, much of this is 8-inch plipo 1ald alongaldo tho old 8 and 4 inch which hns boon absndoned, Tho wonderful growth of tho city haw nt times oxceoded tho tuoans ot the publio disposal to furnish walor ne fast aa It was wanted, but, owing to tho large mainy “that have boon Iaid and the additional tunnol, the elty will soon bo in a condition to fur- nlsh 160,000,000 gallons a day, sud through pipes that cannot bo oxhausted by tho fire-ongines. Tho uumber of fira-hydrants bas beon doubled almont within tho lant year, Tho passago of tho ordinance now boforo the Couucil for laylng {mmodiately tho 40 miles of 8- inch pipo nocossary to tako the place of all tho emalier pipo in tho district botweon Cicago aveauo and Bixteonth streot, and Halsted stroot and the Inke, an aron of noarly 4 gquare miles, will placa that distriot boyond all possible com- plafut eithor ag to tho sizo of pipes or tho sufllcienoy of the water-supply. Outside of this distriot the proportion of small pipe is loss, and the supply of wator, particularly upon the com- plotion of the now pumping-works, will bo aqual toany domand that can bo made for the Fira Deopartment. The possage of that ordinanco is ospecinlly dosirablo, bocauso it will bo an effect- ive anawer to tho Nationnl Bonrdof Undorwiters, who Liavo aysumed that ik poople aud City Gov- ernmout of Chicago bave not and will not do suythiog in romedying tho dofects in tho matter of water-supply. Tho passageof that ordinance will bo secopted by many insurance companics who hinve boon foreed to withdraw from Chicago 08 allording a satiafactory reason for rosuming their vusiness horo, 1t caunot bo disguised that thore {a n dircet contost betweon the National Board of Under- writors and tho City of Chicago, That Bonrd baa struck o blow at our credit; we have too much ot stakoto sit idlo and repine. In the strugglo for existonco wo must invite confldence by shoiving ourselves worlhy of it; wo must do- font tho enmity of tue National Board by rhow- ing its membors that wo are doing all that is possiblo to desorve their confidonce; wo must furnish our friends in that Board, and tho hold- ors of capitel invested Lere, with the ovidenco that wo aro willing to do all that wo can doj; and, Laving thug shown tliat wo havo boon unjuatly and oppressively dealt with, wo will find insur- anco, and capital, and business, and prosperity Hlowiug back upon us as before. Wo shall this triumph over tho malignity that sought our ruin. In tho moantime, lot the public generally pro- pato for an united'effort at tho November oloc- tion ot Aldermon to establish an honest and ef- ficient City Government in Chicago, R THE TAXATION OF CHICAGO, Tho report on the tax system of this city made Dby Mossra, Galloway, Mavon, and Law to the Executivo Committeo of tho Oitizons’ Associa- tion is very valuablo,—as for as it goos. Its authors have been indefstigablo in verifying the fnot of the injustico from which we suffer. As the tax-books are kopt now, it 18 no casy matter to fiud from thom tho nggregato nsscasment of any largo plat of ground. Nor is it alwsys easy to dotormine the proper valustion of Chicago tesl oatate. Tho inetances of incquality of ns- sessment, or, in othar words, of logalized rob- Vory, given in the roport, may bo rolied upon. Thoy are based on investigation, not rumor. Theso instancos are surpris- ing. In ono of the towns comprised within® tho city-limits, one very valuablo piece of improved businegs property is nssessed at 8 per cent of ite real value, whilo a lumbor- yard tract i3 aesessod st 20 por cent, and a block of residences at 901 In another town, improved businocss properly pays tsxes on a G por cont valuatlon, while a rosidonco is rated at 10 per cont, and su unimproved lot at 60. In this Iatter case, the assessiuont makes tho threo owners pay taxes in the inverse ratio of the profits thoy derive from their property. In the towns ouieido of the limits thoro sre ovon grosser inoqualitics, Property is taxed in the eamo town at 4 and at about 100 per ,cent of its real value, The resenrchos of the Comimitteo have proved tho necessity of roform in ourmeth- od of taxing real estato. Thoy say, very sensibly, that the County Board of Equalization cannot right theso wrongs unless ita mombers aro per- sonally famuliar with the value of every piece of property, and that they canuot, in the nature of things, havo this knowledgo. *The vital error lios fu tho incquality of tho origival nesessmont of valuation," Bo far we agree with the Committeo. The roport suggests two reforms which to- gothor would correct thig error. “Lhe first is the abolition of tho township sygtem. T'lroughout tho Union, this bas proved utterly inefliclent in great cities. Its ubanuoument therein i only n question of tiwe. In Ohicago, now that public interost in the question has been excited, it is n question that will Do soltled in o short {imo, Tho [Logislature will mnot depy us this relicf. Tho only opposition to the nceded chouge will coma from: the tux- eaters, Thoy cannot defeat tho tax-pajrors, Up to this poiut, then, tho Committeo can rely upon popular support. We doubt whot.her thoy can do so, howover, for the residue of 1thoir ro- port, Thoy euggost that o Buporvisor of Ttovonuo should bo appointed, who shoni'd serve for o reasonably long torin of yoars, sho uld ap- polnt hi subordinates, and should keop jporfost maps of all tho land in the eity, with records of the jwprovements upon eash lot and the: dates aul cousiderations of tho recout transfirm ot each, The awscssments made by the Bupar- visor's subordinates would be compared by him with the value of exch piace of property as it ap- peared upon his books, Ho would recommend thio nocoessary ohanges to tho County Board of Equal- ization.

Now comes Mr. Bowen, and no sooner doos he open his month than it becomes ovidout somobody fs lying agaiv. Whyis it that from first to Inst the prominent feature of this scan- dal las been a mondacity which puts Ananiag and his talented wifo completely in the shade,— mendacity 80 upparalleled and astound- ing tust, it tho regulations which pre- valled iun Ansnins' doy wero mow in force, nothing short of a plunge from tho top | of Mount Vesuvius fo tho bottom of the sea would expinte the offenses of noarly every ono conneoted with this feandal. Miss Catharine Boochor and Mr, Bowen are comparatively now actora in the drama, but they are evidently up to the old tricks. Miss Catharino Beecher baving mado her statement, now comos Bowen and flat- ly contradiots this vouorablo lady, seriatim and in fofo, Ho donies that ho was the real origi- nator of tho scandal; affirma that sho is well nc- quainted with him and throws her bank-ac- count in her face; denies the montnees and sharp practicos which ahocharges upon bim; denios that Mr. Boccher over charged him with improper conduct ; donics that tho withdrawal of Mr, Beochor and Mrs, Stowe from tho Inde- pendent ovor exnspernted him at all; donioa the whole statement of Misd Doocher relative to tho marital arrangements of the *lndy-authoress,"— o distressiug compound word for which Miss Beocher is guilty, aud whiok Mr, Bowen puts bo- tweon sarcastio quotations ; fistly donies over having written tho Woodatook lotter ; and lastly, denies that ho has ever used a single effort to in- fluence {he action of Plymouth Church or auy of ita membors. Novw, it is ovident cnough from this that somobody has lied agaln, Is it Miss Boooher or s it 3r, Dowen ? As the state- monts on both sides aro unsupported by & single geintills of evidonco, of course it is impossible to sny whother it is Ananins or Sapphira thia timo. It fe sufiolontly distressing to know that onoor tho othor of thom {8 afilictod with the | epidemic poouliar to this scandal. Mr, Bowen ctosea his lottor with & rathor romarkablo warn- ing: “This is not tho first attompt Mise Boocber has made to convey information on tho subjoot ln‘quuutlon. and my advice ia that n future sho look moro carofully after her facts, or sho may need moro than ‘a mutual friend’ to Liolp her out of some sorious difficulty.” It now romaing to bo seon how Migs Beochor will tako this threat of Mr, Bowen's, If she iy the woman of spirlt sho appoars to bo, she will undoubtedly msko it yory lively for Dowen, will tramplo his threat undor hor foet, and talk back, ‘Wa hopo slie will, Bowon has long noeded in- vostigation.

Something muss bo done to slop this awlul lyin, Mr. William Black, nn English novelist of no moun roputation, bas written s lottor to the London Athenwum in a pleasant, somi-buamorons veln, complaiuing Indircetly of the raro importi- nonco of Amoricans, When an Engliish reader of nuy of Lis worlts in n gush of fecling writes to thank the suthor for the pleasure Lo Las glven, aud the author roplies in a civil noto, thon the matter drops.

Thero aro guobs fn all couutrics, and the Americon 8uob ig no botter than e Epglish relative, Ho Las a more fatul facility for rushing into print, and a gaudier way of prosenting himself.
