WITH. SUPPLEMENT. Ths stormy weather of the Inst fow days has caused great loss of property on the lskes, but comparativoly littlo loss of lifo. Soveral vessels carr7ing grain from Chicago to Buffalo havo besn driven nshore and totally wreckod. Partio- wiars will be found iutho news columns. Tho forest fires in Southorn Indiaun and Ohio have not abated, and the destruction of some villagos is almost a forogone conclusion. The atithmetio mon at tho Esst will find time to tell ue, after tho elections, how much the carcles: ness and improvidenco of settlors i tho back- wooda have subtracted from the weslth of tho nation in the past throo yenrs. Ten thousand dollars were subsoribed last might by the Alumni Agsociation of tho Chieago University towards an endowment fund of 26,000, The juetallation of Drs, Moss and Burroughs bas invigorated the frionds of the institution, and it takes a new lesse of life, on more favorablo terms than over before, from this date. At s meeting Iast night the First Baptiat Congrogation decided not to unite with tho Michigan Avenuo Church. This is & substantial victory for Dr. Everts and will teach his onemios, what thoy ought to have learned long ago, that thie has grown into the affections of & very large and powerful footion of the Baptist donominr- tion in thia city, An interosting lettor on New Jersoy politics is published in anothor column. Unfortunately,it doos not tell who promised the Wardenship of the Pepitontiary in that Stato to tho Washington safe-burglar, To be sure, thero is nothiug hid- don which ahall not be known, but tho peoplo are impatient, They would rather be enlightenod on this mooted point now thanin the promised laod. —— The friends of Dan Voorhees, of Indians, are making great demonstrations in favor of his elcotion to tho United Btates Scuate, to succeod Pratt. Voorhoes ia un opon and postilent adyo- cato of repudiation and inflation. His olection to the United States Benate would bo & logitimate result of the Demooratio victory in Indisua, and a result excoedingly deplorablo. Happily, we have roason to beliovo that Mr, Voorhees, frlends are talking far boyond tholr expeota~ tions, and that o losa dangerous man than ho will succeed Sonator Pratt. i The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Con- vention has roturned tha resolution on Ritualism to the House of Deputios with 5o amondment striking out tho specfications s to what aro Rit- nalistlo practices. A Committes of Confrrenco will tako chargo of the whole matter, and ar. rango some compromiss that will be generally estisfactory. Tho Bishops hiave taken tho stand wo expocted and predicted. They are quite will- . og to pasa their apostolic curaes upon Rituslism in the abstract, but Ritualism in the concroto is a troublesomo foe in tho household, The Bishops, plainly, are men of peace. Kullmsn, tho sttempted assasin of Prince Blsmarck, was convicted snd sontenced yostor- " sy, Tho lenity of tho Court will bo gonorally approved.

Tiwo wrongs mako a right In the code of morala which provails among Indiana Domoorats, Guld- ed by thin principle, they propose to reapportion tho State, and to outdo the Republicans ju gor- rymandoring. It haa boon sald, aud is very liko- ly true, that the blind zeal of the Republican loadors, whioh induced thom to musas tho Demo- cratic majoritics and sproad their own, defoated itsolf ; that tho poople woro disgusted with the shamolosanesa of tho conspiracy, and oxpressod tholr disguat &t tho polls. The Democrats may loarn, if thoy imitato tho unworthy examplo of tho Ropublicans, that an attompt to dofoat tho popular will always rocois upon the party making it, * City-Englooer Chesbrough vouturos the proph- ecy that the ctib will some day become ouo of tho chief attractions of the city, Upon what gronnda hio makes this rash nesortion we aro not awaro, excopt that tho lighthouso tower will soon bo finighod, and that the man at the orib will be in tolographic communioation with tho rost of the world very shortly, The gain to the city from the prospectivo attractious of the erib will bo offsot by tho damage which that fn- dividual will puffor. He must lose somothing of his presont simplo and happy oxistence. Now, ho hes no ambitions or aspirations. His lito is ono of silent content, Having & lighthouso and tolograph, o will soon ‘bo wauting locturo courses, & library, opora sensons, Sunday-after- noon lesture outertainments, snd & Turnor Hall. Having sccurod these Juxurios, he will next bo found running for ofiico, aud thon the lifo of the man at tho etib will bo a ruin and & wreck. Mosos hae dono oue good thing. Ho hos issued o prociamation rovoking the one made by him proviously, in which ho appoiuted only Radicals o bo judges st the coming olection. By his new manlfesto he appoints ono Radical. one Independont, and one Congervative sa judge in cach election precint. I may bo rolied upon, thereforo, that tho votes will bo praperly counted. How bad tho condition of affairs in Bouth Carolina is,is evidont from tho fact that tho Plantors refuso to make contracts with their bands until after the clcction. In case of the succoss of Chamberlain, the Radical candidate for Governor, they have decided to sell their lands and leave the Stato. This is not to ba wondered at, It is said that tho ontire State ‘would not at present sell for 25 cents an acro, aud that its Government could not borrow $100 in ol tho markets of the world. Tho induce- ment to live in such & country is anything but groat, +THE NEXT CONGRESS, Tho control of the next House of Representa- tives is mow tho objoct of speculation in the party pross. It has ovoked all manner of pro- Qictions, aud it ie puzzling to obeerve thoe wide rango of tho prophecies. Tho present Congress consists of 292 members, of whow 197 aro Re- publicans and 95 Demacrats, showing a Repub- lican majority of 102, Nine States have already elected 63 members, of whom 83 are Domocrats and 80 Republicans, showing a Republican loss of 16 mombors, thoreby reducing the Ropub- lican majority to 70. The Republican nowa- papers aro publishing tables predicting that in tho romaining BStates, which are to elect on Tucsday noxt, & suflicient number of Repub- licans will be clectod to givo that party & ma- jority in the Ilouse. 'They differ, howover, as to tho number of that majority, Somo place it at 10, and othera at 14, 16, 18, and 24, The Cin- cinnati Commercial hag bosn tempted into tho school of the prophels, avd figures out that tho Demoacrats will have a majarity of 2. The Louisville Courier-Journal speculates upon s Democratic majority of 1. The Cin- cinnati Enquirer thinks thero will bos * good * Demacratic majority. The Philadelphia Press claims o Republiean majority of 18: while tho Boston Advertiser thinks tho House will be un- comfortably close. The Hartford Post claims o Ropublican mejority of 20, and tho New York World maintains that there will bo a Democratio majority of 14. It ia curious to read the prodic- tions of far-off papers concerning tho Westorn States. Thus Illinols hes now 14 Republican members and 5 Demoorats ; Wisconsin, 6 Re- publicans and 2 Domocrats ; Minnesota, 8 Re- publicans ; and Micligan, 9 Republicavs. The Republican papers predict that tho Ropublioans will clect 14 in Illinoi¢, 8 in Michigan, and 8 in Minnesota, and on this figure clsim a majority tho ITouso of 14, Tt ia useless to prediot, even if thero was any intelligent ground for so doiug, a result that is so near at haud, but it does not saem tohavo accurred to those prophets that it Illinois should reverss tho figures of the prosentdelegation thatchango alone would sponge out all thomajority claimed. We do not suy that auch will bo tho result, but that there will boa chauge in sovoral districts, and In some very noar to Chicago, is highly probable. Tho same may bo eaid as to tho other Woestern States, and it is not at &1l unlikely that the next Congress will have & majority of members of various shades of politics opposad to tho Administration, Buoh a result, instoad of belng injurious, will be beueficial to tho Republioan party. It will knock tho third term highor than o kite, It will purlty tho party in many divections in o way that vie- tory could never purify it. It will take tho power ous of tho hands of such leadora as Butler, and put it in bettor hands, It will drive a whole cougrogation of bats and buzzards baok to the dark placos whero thoy belong, It will olear tho #hip for sotion in 1876 as no other procasa could, Tho eficlency of our police is vory aatiafao- torily lliustrated by the robbory which took place at Jerome's banking aud loan oflice, corner of Clark and Monroe stroets, on Thursday ovening, at balf-past 6 o'clock. Tho oftleo is situated in ono of tho busloat thoroughfares of tho clty, whick, at thls early hour of the ovening, is al- ways.filled with people. The thief coolly took a board, broke the window, reaclied in, took what ho could carry, and gob away successfully, al- though one of the partners inside made sn as- soult upon Lim with a pistol, another outside witneased tho tramsaction, and the sidewalks wore filled with paople, It is not particularly utrange thero was no pollcomnn iu alght or with. incall, 28 this i tho rulo; but it Is somewhat strango that somo ono of the numerous pasaors. by did not intorcopt the bold scoundrol. If tho public fa to walt tho arrival of polico upon auol occasions, thioves have a olear flold bofore them, e BUTLER AND DAWES.

Btiil theovil-oyod man from ZEwsox has putled his wires and pusbied his way. o has dazzled Dnives with tho glittering chance of & seat in tho Sonato, has played upon his hopos, has suarod bim. Waa tho chance worth this? Was it worth while to sacriflco conslatency and manhood to the grood of place? Massa- chusotts willnot indorso the course of the man who was ouco her most honorad Representativo. Heor fading love for Grantism could not stiflo hor disgust at tho sepectaclo of Dawes and Butler whaking hands over the chnsm that once yawned botweon thom. Tho Boston Advertiser robulkes its old fayorito pointedly. It has been suddenly announced that Mr. Dawes will not speuk in tho Tssex District agiln. Dut tho mischiof has boen done. Anothor roputation bas beon stained, Lo- caugo its whilom possessor has gone over to Dutler. Tho lattor has paid back, with interost, all ho has ovor suffered from Dawes, He can atriko & clonn balance-shook. Tho stultificntion of a man like Mr. Dawes fs o losa to the wholo country. Tho prize ke sought way groat, but the prico ho bas paid is out of all proportion to it, Burely, the most sadly-ludl- orous sight of this year is Henry L. Dawes shouting * Hurrah for Ben Butler!” VERY BAD FIRING, ‘War haa broken out again in Louisians, and it in in ordor for the President to take our fricud Joo Forrast nt hiw word and order him to Now Orleans to suppross tho rebellion. The oppos- ing forcos which ho witl have to overcome aro Gov. Kellogg and Maj. E, A, Burke, of the Democratic Naturalization Committee. Hoe can muke short work of the campaign, as neither of them shoot worth a cent. Gov. Kellogg himsolf has stated thoe facts, 8o thero can bo no mistako. The Govornor, boing out riding in a hack, was accosted by the Major, wheroupon he opened the carriago door and reachod out hishand. The Major, instend of shoking hands with him, used the Governor’s hand to draw bim partly out of the back, and then commenced warm- ing tho Governor with a rawhide. The drivor whipped up Lis horses, which intorrupted tho oplsode. The heroio Kellogg, resolving to soll his lifo as exponsively as possi- Dble, commenced firing out of the rear window of tho liack, ostensibly at the Major, but in roality at nothing in particular.: Tho gallant Burke, uot to be ontdone in chivalry, returncd the compli- mont by firing fivo orsix shots ostensibly at Kel- logg or his haclk, butin reality at nothing in particular. Both lives woro spared, and both the Major aud the Governor still oxiat to renow the war, unless our friend Forrest puts down the ro- bellion. Tho reflection that most peoplo will draw from tho affair is that it was very bed firing. Bhooting six or oight charges iu an opon strect, aud hitting neither the party aimed at nor anybody olse, is a disgrace to Louisiana, EMPEROR WILLIAM'S SPEECH, In his spooch from tho throne at tho opening of Poarliamont, the German Emperor remurked that tho logislation in regard to the military uys- tom of the Empire will bo completed by bills dealiog with the Landsturm and the spportion- mant of contributions among the various States for the maintonance of the army in times of peaco. ‘Lhis uttorauce of the Emperor Willism 18 ominous, Germany is ot satisfled with keop- 1uy o vast standing army, A shost time sives, & bilt was presentod to the Fedoral Council of the Empiro by Prince Bisnarclk, providing for the organization of the Landsturm,—that s, of tho wholo eble-bodied-population of the Empire. It bag ohways been n patriotio maxim in Germany that every man is & soldier; but hitherto tho Landsturm has been an indefinite kind of thing,—an unorgavizod body. Hereaftor every male in Germany, from boyhood to old age, Is to belong to & military organization. By the terms of tho bill montioned above, the Emporor may summon the Landsturm at any momont. Hols solo judge of the propriety of ealling it mto action, Tho Landsturm is, liko the Line, the Roserve, sud the Landwobr, mado subject to tho military code, It i provided, also, that in- dividual membors of the Landsturm mey bo draftod into the Landwohr it thoir services are needed, Bo far, the Government hns only asked that this bill ehall become alaw. The Parlin- ment, a8 arulo, f8 controlled by tho will of tho Govornmont, snd wo may thoreforo expact that it will bepassed. Thore is no doubt that the miasuro, whothor carried or not, will creato a vast denal of dwcussion. It affocts tho atatus o every man in Gormany, and subjocts him to tho rules of o rogular military organization, His porsonnl liberty will, in cousequence of the orgonization of the Landaturm, bo greatly curtailed. Tho effoot of tho bill on neighboring nations alse will be oxceoding gront ; while the Gorman Ewpire is thus adding to hor military strength by making avory man & soldior, uot in theory ony but in fact, othor Empiros and nations cannot afford to content thomsolves with their presout monsure ot military eficlency, Franco will be compolled to organize a military .forco annlogous to the Gorman Laudsturm.

Not tho least advantaga of tho organization of the Landsturm 1g, that, ot tho firat noto of danger, it may bo brought into active servico aud reliova the young- or lovies from all home dutfes, This last stop is only the extonsion and de- volopment of tho mlitary syatom which gave Gormany her vietory ovor Frauce iu tho laug war.

Tha story of Olivier Gallion hasnot only much of mitory and dogradation, but.much of pathos init. It s diflicult to road tbe story without a feollng of sympathy or at lenst of pity for tho poor wrotch, droadful as bis orime was, He was o flshierman who baraly supportad life by hia vo- catlon, He was ignorant tg tho lowost degree. In intolligenco ko was ncarcoly shove s beaet of borden. o lived 1n his hut with Xavier Poulin, another flsherman, equally poor, iguorant, and n loathsomo, degraded lepor, and in this hut, liorded togathor, oating and sloeping togother in the asme small apartmont, wore the two fisher- mon, Gallien's sjster, and Pouha's wifo and childron, 'Tho village priost had ordorod & prac- tical divorce botwoen Poulin and his wife whon tho former was golzed with loprosy, and the woman choso Gallien for her affinity. The two lived togothor tn a erimftnnl intimacy for yoars with Poulin's consout, and sho boro ohil- dren to him, Tho ‘arrangemont, honever, was not eatisfuctoly to Poulin's wifo, aud, dosiring larger liborty, she worked upon Gallien's feeblo intellect until sho induced bimn to kill hor husband. Many and many & time Lo attompted to commit the doed, but his heart falled him whon it camo to the moment of con- summation, Tho flendish womnn ovon sharp- oned tho knife for Lim, and &t lnst with hor po suastons and her ropronches so worked upon bim that he did tho fatal deed, sud the poor loper was found out in tho clearing most bru- tally murdored. When tho body was bronght to the houso, tho woman mado a loud and uunat- ural display of griof, and garrulously defeuded Gallion agoinst any suspicions of the murder. The rest of the neighbors wore evidently as iguorant and dograded =8 the prin- cipal scfors in the tragedy. Thoy saw nothing’ suspicious In the clrcumatances, and a burial-permit was granted, which was rovoked, however, by tho Coroner. During bis invostiga- tion, Gallion was prosent, and evidently a vio- tim of keen mental suffering. The struggle with conacience waa a Lrief one. Remorse gain- ed the advantage, and at last, in tho presence of his paramour and their victim, ho cried out in a fit of anguish: **My God, I amchokiog: I did It,” He was arrested, but upou his trial ho made 1o ples and maintsined porsiatent silenco, Ho was found guilty, and went to the gallows on the 20th. Ho nackmowledged tho fitness of his sentence. Ho asked for forgiveness and prayed to God for morcy. He apparently had no foar, and his Inet worda wero tho forvent cry: “ Mon pere, mon pere, misericorde,” and with these sad, despairing words ho was hurried out of oxistonco. It was a dark spotin the bouti- ful Acadian land, a aad snd wretched spoctacio. The mardered aud the murderer have gono, and tho guilty woman waits the birth of another of Gallien's children, and will then follow them, Is this tho homo of Evangelino? Are theso tho simple, happy, coutented people the poet hns sung 8o charmingly ? Tho pootical fascination in forover loat in thid reality of poverty, degra- dation, loprosy, and eriminality, which have cast thefr blight upou it. i , ADAM SNITI'S RULES OF TAXATION. . o ficst politico-cconomist laid down four rulos for assossivg und collecting taxes, Thoy ara often raferred to, but rarcly reported. Wo quoto thom in full: ) 2 1. Tho subjects of avery Btate ought to con- tribute to the support of tho Government as noarly a4 possible in proportion to their reapec- tivo abilities ; that is, it proportion to tho reve- nuo which they respectivoly onjoy under tho pro- tection of the Btato. In the observance or neg- loct of this maxim consists.what is called equal- ity or inequality of taxation, 2, The tax which ench individual is bound to pay ought to bo certain, and not arbitrary. . Tho timo of paymont, the manner of payment, the quantity to Lo paid, ouglt allto bo clear and plain to the contributor, aud to overy other per- son, 8, Every tax ought to be levied at the time or in the manper in which it ie most likely to Lo convenient for the contributor to pay it. 4, Evory tax ought to bo 8o contrived as both to take out and keop out of the pockets of the people as little as possible over and above what it brings into the public treasury of tho State, These four muximg have bocomo classie. Thoy aro supposed to comprehend the wholo science of taxation, The system of pusessment aud collection in vogue in Ilmols and in most of the othor States fullills tho third of theso roquisites indifferontly woll, aud tho other three scarcely atall, Poople pay in tho inverso proportion of their ability to coucesl thelr property, Somo of them pay more than they ought. Many of them puy less, A vast amount of property cscapos taxation entirely. Wo have published tho uta~ tistics of tho illogal exemption in New York. They are contained in the ronorts of 1871-2 of tho Now York Commissionora to Reviso tho Laws for tho Assessment and Collection of 'axes. The Pennsylvania Commissionors said: *I¢ bas been made mauifaat to every Rov- enuo Board that oonvenod st Harum- burg from February, 1845, to the pros- ont timo, that the roturns of porsonalty sud es- pecially of money at Interost snd atooks wero novor & teuth of tholr actual amountu or val- ues.” It is notorious that tho presont systom puts & premium on lylng. The roturns of per- sonalty by tax-payers aro often aa ludicrously falso ns tho valuos of roalty ssscssed by tho tax-caters, There Is no equality whatover now, Tho fivat law of taxation is ignored.
