In all these qualitios he is tho peer of any condidate evor offered to the poople of Cook County. Tho only candidste com- parablo to him in thiy election is M, Sidnoy Smith, tho Republican nomines in the First Digtrict. WitheMr, Lo Moyne and Mr, Smith in Congress, Chicago would at once take & high rauk iu tho House of Representatives, and command the respect due to a constituenoy who sonds ablo, and foailess, and bigh-toned wen to the councils of the nation. The fact that theso two pontlemen stand upon different tickots coustitules no ronson why one of them should bo defoated. Upon avy question now agitating tho public mind or likely to como beforo Congress, thoy are both capable of form- ing wiso judgmonts, and both indepondont enough to speak and voto their Lonest convie- tions, When thoe people choose men of thisstamp to mako lawa for thom, they will havo roalized thio bighost expectations of the founders of the Ropublic, snd achiovod the acme of ropressnta- tivo governmont.

Hurlbut. Tho dis- trict gnvo o majority for Grantin 1872 of 11,- 482, It bns Loon tho bannor distriot of the country for many yoars, Gen, Farnsworth rop- rasented tho dietrict for sevoral torms, and no district 1n tho United States was moro nbly rop- resented in Congross. Tho present contest is not one of & Democrat agrinst & Ropublican, though Gen. Hurlbut sccks to make it such. Gon, Farnsworth was an Avolitionist long bofore the Republioan party was thought of ; whoa Gen. Hurlbut was supportiog Cloy, and Scott, and “tho old Whig party, Farnsworth wasa soldior iu tho gront Anti-Slavery strugglo. Whilo Hurl- but was, with the vobemence of his South Caro- lina blood, donouncing tho Abolitionists, Farns- worth was known to tho poopls of Kane, Winno- bago, Boone, Mclfonry, and Delalb, asone of tho fow fearless man that dared to denounca Blavery. In timo, public sontimont-grow up ta Farosworth's staudard, and the Republican party was orgenized. Hurlbut followed, stopping ono or two yoars in the Know-Knothing party, that last ditch of the old Whigs. An attompt to im- poach Farnsworth's Republicanism can hardly bo succossful among & peoplo who know him as an unflinching Abolitionist when it was danger- ous to bo ono, Gon. Farnsworth opposed Grantism In 1872 Iere, too, o was in advance of his party. Wo supposo there are but fow Ropublicans in the Fourth Distriot who aro not now as much op- posed to Grantiem as Farusworth wos in 1872, Tho woight of Grant has overwhelmed the party in 1874 in sovoral important States, and, dospito all appoals to bim, ho rofuses to decline a third- torm candidecy. But, oven in this particular, Hurlbut can find no fault with Farneworth. Fromn his far-off mission in Bozota Gen. Hurlbut did all in his power to arouse a public sentiment againet tho eolection of Grant for the socond term, aud, to give emphasis to his opposition, ho como homo to personally oppose Grant. Gen, Hurlbut's lottors denouncing Grantism woro hore in IMlinols In 1872, and Hurlbut bogged tho bolder to keop thom socret, although the ar- ' gumonts he employed had been sufliciont to senu that porson a8 a dolegate to the Cincinnati Convention. Farnaworth honestly proclaimed his opinions aud Hurlbut suppressed his. Gen. Farnsworth is now, as ho Las always Doon, a progressive man, Hurlbut still clings to tho exploded theorios of tho old Whig party, cspecinlly tho fraud and dolusion of a protective taxiff, Lvery old Whig thivks he must carry that old garment of Honry Clay to his grave. Hurlbut, boing part of tho systom of Grantism, knows of no nbuues to be corrocted, no frauda to be exposed, no corruption to bo removed. To touch theso ia to disturb Grantiam. When Ben Butler sounds the alarm that investigation is dangorous, Hurlbut standa by him, sud well ho may. Butler doos thia asattornoy; Hurlbut asa dofendant. Butler in Congress and on Commit- toed votou two votes,—ono for his own distriot and one for the Fourth Illinois District. Ho lots Hurlbut draw tho pay while he does the think- 1og and tho voulng. In this, there is a degrad- ing contrast with the brilliant roputation of Farnaworth a8 tho leader of the House, bofore whom Butler always quailed. Gon, Farneworth hasa national reputation ; 80 has Hurlbut : Farnsworth as & bold and fear- less opponent of corruption,—Hurlbut ss ouo undor the moat serious acousation ; Farnsworth a8 an cloquent orator and well-loformed states- man,—Hurlbut a8 a eypher in Congress aud out of it ; Farnsworth as a Aghtiug Geveral in the army,—Iurlbut as the broker in cotton-permits ; Farnsworth as a ropresontative commanding at- tention and enjoying tho confidonce of Congross, —Huribut a8 a blatherskite and tool of Ben But- lor; Farnsworth as o man always in a condition to do business,—Hurlbot as one lable at any timo to be under tho influenco of liguor. Buch are tho two mon who are now candidates ta roprosont tho respectable and intolligent peo- plo of tho Fourth Distriot of Illinols, The dis- trict is 8o overwhelmingly Republican that no man ¢an claim Farnsworth's election a8 a Demo- cratic victory. ‘The peopls of the distriot are Republicans, and whoover is elected must ret with the Ropublicans in Congresa, Tho diffor- enco {3 that the one is opposed to Grantism, whilo the other, boing himseclf an illustration and an oxample of Grantlem, must in golt-do- fonso maintain tho ouly system of party gov- ornmont undor which such s man as he cowld hold placo for a day. MR, DAWES, OF MASSACHUBETTS, Among the mon who are momorable for their lost opportunities, Mr. Henry L. Dawes, of Mas- sachusotts, ia rapidly becoming conspicuous, He is & manof ability, but eadly doficiout in per- severanco, By fits and atarts ho takes the high- est stana ju statesmanship, and then flecing from bhis own onlarged shadow soels safety by runniug into tho nearest hole. Last yoar ho made his colobrated exposition of tho national finances. Ho roviowoed with firmnoss the whole polioy of the Government, pointing out the orrora of tho past and the dangers of the future, Ilo held up to the country the spectacle of a nation that waa taxing ita poople to tho utmost lmit of ondurance, aud was yet expending money wilh & lavish hand in tho most soneoloss and oxtravagant manuer. Ho gave tho partioulars of the maintenance of slxty-nine Oustom-Housos ot an enormous ex- poneo for no other apparent purpose than to provido ponslons for & brigade of oftice-holdors ‘who hed no dutics to perform save to draw tholr ealarlos, o dotailed tho wastefulness and protiigaoy which biad marked the appropriations by Congress, and inslated that this extravaganso hiad brought tho Troasury to tho plight that it lhad to borrow monoy to pay its ourrent expensos or Incransa taxca i timo of peace. This speech olicited from thinking men of all pariies tho highost commeudation, Gen, Dutior at once took the war-path, and denounced Dawes ns & (naltor, to dhe party, Dawea easaped from DAY, OCTOBER 98, 1874 Washington, snd wlthin elx: weeks had, pleco by plece, retractod everyihing ho Liad sald, This procoeding of Mr. Dawes was but In keoplug with his provious history. Oconslonally riving to the staturoof a ginnt, ho invariably shrank again to the sizo of tho pigmies around lim. Bince Bummer's death, and sinco he has lind nsplrations for the vacant chair of that Son- ator, he sooma to have abandoned all offort to tiso above his follows, Accopting Butlor's auc- ceea a8 an {ndication that nothing is to bo gained by honosty and falruoss, o sooms to iave on- gnged fu tho frultless offort to outbid that doma- gogtio, and to dofeat him for tho Sonate by ox- colling bim in his own poouliar appeals to pas- slon, projudice, aud hate. On Thuraday of last woek he addrossed & pub- lio meoting ot Bpringfleld, Mass., and tho ha- ranguo was mado up of thoe suds of the ordinary stump-apenkor addrossing an aseomblago of ig- norant and violent partisans, It was just such & spocch ng may be heard nightly at this time in any of tho saloon-moeotings of Chieago,—an ap- ponl to stand by the party, to voto anunseratehod ticket, to vote early, to got your frionds to vote, and an assurance that it was bottor to eloctn wau on our eide, no mattor who ho is, than any othor ‘man. And this was the spocchof Honry L. Dawes, 60 long tho loader of the Housoof Ropresentatives, to whom the poople’ of the country havo go often looked for statesmanship that aimed at the country’s good and not tho mero enlvation of the party caucus. Some of bis etatoments woro oxtraordinary, coming from such a man. Ho could not vory woll deny tho completo failure and corruption of the car- pot-bag Governmonts at tho South, but he throw tho wholo blamo upon the white pooplo, and Lis argumont was thia: That tho whits poople at tho South could at any time bave elocted good Governments, but they refrained from voting undor the oxpeclation that the corrup- tion and incompotouey of the negro and carpot- bag rulers would causo a ronction at the North which would operate in favor of restoring tho white supremacy. Ho of courso was opposed to any such reaction, and bo appoaled to the people of Massachusotts to sustain the policy of mafn- toining theso corrupt State Govornmonts in the South until tho whitos extricated them- solves, Ho did not explsin why it was that when the whites by voting did elect an honest Governmont in Louisiann it was de- poaed by the bayonet. Another specimon of tho stuff that Mr. Dawes related to his hoarers was that “four millious of helpless and defensoloss negroes, when thoy reliro at night, retire in tho drend apprebionsion that the torch of the in- condinry and the murderous weapon of tho aseasein may extinguish all hope of life in tho morning." His appeal was to savo these four millions of peoplo from the instaut massacre that would follow the cloction of Gen. Banka or any other anti-Administration man to Congress| Oould Butlor surpass this ? —— THE BOUTHERN BLACKS. A spocial correspondent of tho New York Tribune, writing from New Orloans, throws a littlo welcome light on the political charactoris- .ica of the nogroes and on the feolingof tho Southern whites towards the blacke, His expo- rienco scems to Lave beon confined to Louisiana ; but his observationson the feeling of tho whites in thas Btate townrds the negroes might proba- Dbly bo extonded to the whole of the South. Tho writer remarks that tho whites spesk uniformly with kindnesa and friendliness of the blacks, but, a8 any ono acquainted with the usual charac- teristics of tho nogro race might expect, thoy add that the poor blacks have been mis- lod; thot, cousidering their ignorance, it wos impossible they ehonld not have boen mieled ; that their political associntions havo hind & bad influonce upon them; that thoy have no gelf-control and no indepondence, Thoey do not accuse tho nogro of malice or of innate depravity of naturo. Thelr mistakes aro attrib- uted mainly to iguoranco and misplaced confl- denco, Tho obstacles in the way of the seclf- ngsortion of the negro are greater than any ono not acquainted with tho condition of Southern politics can have any ides of. Oath-bound lenguea exist for tho sole purposo of proventiug their desortion of the Republican party, Thoy are led to boliove that thoir freedom doponds on the supromacy of the Republican party in tho politics of the country, Not tho negroes but tho white men who have misled them are tho object of the Southern whito man'’s wrath, The church in the South is o powerful auxilinry of the league in the intorests of tho Ropublican party. Tho rural negro min- istor mokes s strange mixturo of tho causo of Christ and of the Ropublican party, Ho cannot always soparato the one from the other. Says the correapondont of tho Tribune: Tolitfcal announcoments uro made ot religious gath- erlugs, oud roligious sunouncoments at political gatherings. Election tickols are sometimes dis tributed Ly the very officers who circulate the bas- kets to recolvo contributions for tho suppiort of the church and the pastor, In soma churches prayers aro offered for tho wuccess of tho Republican party with almost as much regularity as prayers for the conversion of the world, In an exciting campaign tho people are worued under fearful penaltics against political upostacy ; tho wermon Lecomes a political barungue, and party followship 18 openly made s prorequisite for fellowship in the church, In the campulgn of 1872 a very intelligent “hoad man” on & sugar ploutation which I visited the ofhor day, realizing tho obligations of bia raco fo Mr, Greeloy, mformed bis employers that ho intended to voto the Greeloy ticket, As tho man wus truthful his employor 4id not doubt his oincerity, Lut, knowing tho difiicul- ties in the way, watched with interest to seo if he ‘would carry out lifs honest intention, On the day of the cloction the negro cauio to bim in evident trouble , 4 Mass’ ——," mald be “I told you I was gwine vote for Groeley, and if you keep me to do promiso It do it shush, But it's bhard work, mah!

A now chaptor in tho weary atory of misrule in, Louisians opons with tho recont nrrosta in Bhroveport, Bomo wooks ago, aixty-nine of tho londing merchants 1n that city signod a pledgo not to omploy porsons who should voto for the Kollogg tioket in tho coming oloctton, This action was unwiso, perhaps, but it was not an offonso against the lawe of the United Biatos. If o numbor of our business men should pub- loly agreo to employ no man who voted for a partioular candidato for offico, howevoer foolish the act, their arreat by an United States Marshal and subscquont incarcoration in jail would mot bo rogarded in Ohi- cago or anywhero olie a8 s logitimate mothod of enforcing Foderal laws, What is wrou here 18 wrong in Louisiana, Tho action of tho Shroveport merchants was not indorsod by tho prominent Conservatives of tho Blate. It mado but littlo stir, and would doubtless have bocome a doad letter, sunk in the oblivion it desorved, had not a cortain Lovwis Morrill, Major of tho Soventh United States Cavalry, appeared on tho eceno. Now Merrill is poculiar. Ho tries to bo o military and a polico ofiicer at tho samo timo. A fow years ago ho was busy in huntieg up imaginary Ku-Klux {n South Caro~ lina, Ho did this dotective businoss out- aldo of his legitimate work, and he was paid therofor n Iarge sum from tho Btate Trongury, Sooator Doyard brought Merrill's doings to the notico of tho Senate. An inves- tigation was asked. The facts stated by Mr. Bayard, which we have reproduced above, wore not gaineaid, but the upshot of the affair was that Morrill was asked to explain and nover did 80, There tho mattor dropped. Now this officer turns up in anew place in his old pur- suit. Not & nogro in Shreveport could bo found to awear to tho intimidation on account of raco, color, or provious condition of servitude which tho Euforcement nct forbide, Not one of the white Republicana of Saroveport could make the necossary afiidavit. Morrill, however, was cqual to the occasion., Ho made the onth, end warrants for tho arrest of the pixty-nino signers woro issued. Some of the arrests havo been made, There has been mo distutbance. Tho offense with which these men aro charged ia one wholly within the provinco of the civil courts. The miiitary bavo nothing whatever to do withit. It was, to say tho lenat, & gross’error for the Federal ofiicor in commnnd of tho troops at Bhroveport to lend tho wolght of his influonce to one political party. It arrays the army of the United States on the side of a faction, It gives ground to the fear that tho ballot-box may once more have to yield to tha bayonot. Merrill and othor soldiers need to be taught that their mission in tho South 18 not to haraes poacoful citizons for political effect. The Shroveport arrests were an actof sheer tyranny.

It is not altogothor certain chat the poet was correct in his plaint that tho bootle suffors m desth tho samo pang ss whon the giant dies. 8o long, therofore, as this uncortainty ox- ists, thero is a paralle! uncertaiuty whother wuch sympathy has not boon wasted upou the sufferings of the lower animals. The gontle Walton bado bis disciples hool the worn as though they loved him, but thore is a well- fouuded suspicion that the worm is just as happy wriggling on ahook asitis whon pursuing its sinuous travels through its native mud. Oue of tho most interesting papers upon this subject yot contributod to the public hus been brought out. by tho discussion on vivisection, commenced by Mr. Honry Borgh, the President of tho New York Humano Socloty, Tho paper Is written by Dr. Crosby, and in it ho makes a very exhaustive investigation of the question whether animals suffer under mutilation, arriviog at the conclu- sion that some of them sutler vory slighily and others not at all. Whether the crusude upon which Mr, Borgh Lins entored rosults fu any re- form or mot, it has at lesst developed many interesting and curious facts, aud with theso Dr. Crosby's paper is literally overflowiug. Inthe firat placo he contonds thnt neither convulsious nor cries are signs of pain. So far from con- vulsions indicating suffering, be contonds that they only show that the brain has loat its con- trol over the rest of the nervous systom, and thav, asido from a feeling of muscular soreness, patients are never conscious of suffering evon in the most terrible paroxysms, As to the cry of tho animal, ho says: '*No uproar can be greator than that which s pig makes on being soized however gently, yet it would be absurd to rogard this ns & mark of pain,” and ho might havo made that same statemont concerning the hon or a drunken shrow. His illustrations in tavor of his argument are very curious. During tha battle of Fair Oaks, he saw tho fore leg of & horse carried away by & solid shot, and yet the auimal soon struggled to his feet and commoncod feeding as usual. He also cites tho case of an Oxford coach-horso which dislocated both fot- lock joiuts, and travelod on the end of the bones uutil they wero worn smooth without any ex- expression of pain. Dormice frequently eat off a part when mutilated. Rats, when pressod by hunger, have bLeen observed eating their own tails, The same fact bas been observed of monkoys. At the Jardin dos Plantes, an old mezens, having brokon his log, matoad of complaining about it, deliLorate~ 1y eot to work and devoured it with groat gusto, Rabbits, when pursued by other animals, cry out, but when seized utter no sound whatever, aud when cought in & trap will pull away from it, leaving the tondons lacerated, and ofton will gnaw the leg off to escape. Crabs and lobsters throw off their olawas after fright with the most porfect indifference, A wasp has boon ob- served to eat a fly immediatoly after its own ab- domen has been cutout. Cookehafers will orawl sbout and eat yoraclously after tho same injury, and tho drogon-fly will eat for a long time after boing fastencd down with a pin. Dr. Crosby also argues that Providence must have rendered those animals only slightly susceptibla to pain, in view of the constant destruction going on among them, and cites tho following illustra~ tion I once observed s rather extraordinary iliustration of the law of Nuturoto vat and Le caten. Ikeptina glass globo a varioty of tho smuller aquatio animals, such as the larvio of tho dragon-fly, etc,, and one day introduced among them a few of tho common wator newts and water beotles, ouo of which was the Ditis- cua marginalis. ‘Cho dragon-ilies had been living on the animulcule, ste,; the newts attacked and devour- ol the dragon-ly, The next morning I found one of the nowis lylng at tho bottom of the vessel, Lulf cuten, snd, while looking on, saw tho ditiscus attuck anothior newt, Not wishing to hava them ol destrayed, T took the ditiscas out of tho water and put it in tho aunshino a fow minutcs, when it flew away, and hsd not gono more than 90 or 40 yurds when a sparrow flow after aud caught it, If thoeo facts be truo, then it Ia obvious that Mr. Bergh's sympathy is puroly sentimental. Thoy are, farthermore, caloulated to furnish md and comfort in getting rid of many of the minor animale. If tho cat, for instance, doos not ool pain, ono noed suffor no compunotions of con- scionco in dispatching that midnight minstrel, The foeling of pain with which one observes a dog hurrying down the stroot with & hugo kottlo tiod to his tail and dangling ngainst Lis logs at overy jump, will bo alloviated by the fact that tho animal is only suffering from mor- tification and deprossion of epirits. Tho tonrs which havo beon shed by kndly souls over the squirming of the oel s ho pars with his slkin, sud his wriggling in tho fry-kettlo, have all been shed in vain, and one can put bis kool upon tho enake with more satisfaotion from the fact that ho is ridding the world of a pest without infliotlng unnccessary pain. It will also tond to popularize the study of entomology, es- peclally among the young ladies, if tho inscots can foed voraclously with pins atuck through them, Finally wo oan all sit down to our broiled whitoflah, romst boof, and mutton chop with more dovaut thankfulness and gustatory satis- tlon as we roflact that neither fish, ox, nor shoop suffersd sny pain whon thoy dopartod this life. Dr. Orosby Lias sent & bomb- wholl of very large size into the camp.of the Iumano Hoclaty, and it behooves Mr, Bergh to look out for himself, If he cannot show that the Dootor is radloally miataken, no dog's or cat's life will be macrod any longer from the viviseotist, 12 humss beings do not suffer pain In convulalons, how fong will it bo befors the pupils of Zsoulaplus wiil bo teating tho offeots of polsous upon human nubjocts, or cheerfully carving up momo luckless individual upon the ploa it dooa not hurt him, and that hia howling is mmply & slgn that the brain has loat its cone trol ovor the norvous systom ?
