White, candidato for State Senstor in the First District, and eecretly ondeavored to securo the oleotion of both, We have ascortained from un- doubted authority that AMr. Hesing, more thau any other one person, nccomplishod the defent of both thoso candidatos. The Dircctors of the DBoard of Trade yesterdny concluded their inuvestigation of the chorges apainst Mr. Sturges, that ho had willfully broken his agreomont to abido by tho rules of tho Board. Thoy decided by a two-thirds vote to refer the caso to tho full Board of Trade for action thoreon, The charges uro based on tho alleged negleot of Bir. Sturges to deliver grain which he had sold, and his re- . fusal to abido by the ruling of the Committee on Arbitration after ho had signed an expross agreement to do so, It in altogother likely that Mr. Carpenter, of Wiscousin, and Mr, Chandler, of Michigan, will havo to follow Gon.

Ridgway, the Ropublican candidate forState Tressurer, i probably electod, This fu owing to o division of tho Opposition voto botweon Carroll and Goro. The aggrogato majorities of the Opposition Congressional candidates eleotod in tho Btato scoms to bo nbout 21,500, and those uf the Ropublicsn Congrossmon about 8,500, which would leave an Opposition majority of 12,000 in tho State. To this should bo added about 13,000 majority which was thrown away on Sam Marshall, Rolla B. Honry, and John B Parner. t iy not impossible, therofore, that Mr., Etter may bo oléoted by 25,000 thajority, Tho local returns which we print this morning indicato with tolerablo certainty that Mossrs, Cnulfield, Harrigon, and LelMoyno, the Opposi- tion candidatos for Congrese, aro all clectod. This is tho very rovorse of the aspect presented by tho incomplote returns of yosterday morning, Mr. Cautfiold's succoss s nssured, and the ro- turns show his wmafority to be 561. In tho cases of LoMoyne and Hartison, the vote is so closo that the result eannot bo definitely known untit tho oflicial announcomont. Assum- ing Mr. Farwell's mejority m Leko County to be 47, aa it is roported, tho roturna show a mejority of 20 for Mr, Lo Mogno. The vosoon the West Sido shows that Mr. Hawison has s majority of 8. Whore ihe vote is so close, tho chance of orror in computing it in very large, and it wall bo nocassary to await the announce- ment of tho official vote. Tho Chicago districts Luave followed tho carront of the State, though running far bohind tho Opposition voto for the county ticket. Tho presout Ilinols delogation stands 14 Republicans to 5 Domocrats. Acsum- ing Mousra.

For a long timo the Benator puld no attontion to theso dirty alandors, but his attontion was called to a coareo squib npon the youug lady's fathor, Mr, Builivan, in the Nows- Tetter, Mr. Bullivan, accompaniod by Benator Jones, visited the oftico aud told Mr, Marriott, tho oditor of tho paper, that he was held porsonally responsiblo for the paragraph, Mr. Morrlott roplied that the mociety nows, writton in imitation of the * Walks Among tho Churches " of tho Ohloago TSmes, wou sent by mall.

Tho Novembor elootions: ara the heavy raln- storm whioh thio October gust presaged and foro- ehisdowod. Both togethor are morcly s poat- ponement of whas would have happened in 1872 but for tho minromgnu of the Opposition in hav- ing o candidato whoso eccontricitios alarmod tho busluoss mon of the country, With eithor Adoms, or Davis, or Trumbull, s s candidate for tho Presidency, tho samo kind of a thunder-gust which ewept over tho political fleld last Tucsdsy would hiave boon felt twoyoars soonor. The peoplo did not voto for Grant in 1872 so much as they voted against Qrooloy, Having voted sgainst’ Graeloy then, they Lave ombtaced tho onrliost opportunity to voto against Grant and . Grantism now. What doos it all signity ? To answor this question wo must go back & faw years. The Republican party hna boon in full possession of tho Government alnco the bo- ginulog of 1861, It hasborno sway in Washing- fon and in moat of tho Btate Capitals during » period of fourteon yesrs, .In its carly history, whon it had « hard struggle to koep its hosd abovo water, it was & pure and uncorrupted or ganization. The scoundrolly eloments of socloty were noarly all sllies and component parts of tho Democracy. But as tho Ropublican party bocame strouger it.drow more and more of the viclous and unprincipled mombors of the com- munity into its ranks, and its own originnl ingre- dienta becamo tainted by the contact, - In short, tho party loadership has becomo corrupt and rotten, not everywhero, bus in tho main, It hne become so corrupt that a losding journal in ‘Washington City—one supposed to reflect moro uoarly tho viows of the Adminiatration than any othor—has the offrontery to dovounuce all fnves- Ligation into public nbuses as party troagon, snd to stigmatize Dawos and Garfield, who have cortainly not distinguishod thomeoclves to tho same oxtent that Hercales did in tho Augoan wtables, ne imbeciles, cowards, and turn-costs. Tho Administration of Gon. Grant hins beon not only singularly stolid and indiffevent to thia eor- rapt tondonoy of the times, but bas boon an ac- tivo partioipant In it. The country has become convinoed of this fact—was convinood of it two yoars mgo, but could not then oxpross ite conviction, for the roagon already statod. It has found at last an opportunity to utier ita emphatic malediotion upon this loathsomo state of publie affairs, It has com- bined into one vast overwholming sentonce of condemuation its vordict npon Crodit Mobilier, Salary-Grab, Banborn Frauda, Syndicatos, Boss Bhopherd, Bocor and Chorpeaning, OCnstom- THouss Blackmailing, Carpot-Baggery, and Third Torm. Yhero is nothing more to be said on any of those subjeots. Tho Ropublican party has reached ont for its lenders, takon thom by tho collar, and kicked them down-stairs. Look at Massnchusolts, It has been assumed by the Adminietration that the poaplo of that Btate would enduro auything, Congoquontly tho power and patronage of the TFederal Governmont bave been banded over to Bonjamin F. Butler, whose name Lns for yoars boon & synonym for ill famo in politics. Civil- Sorvico Roform bas boen stranglod. The influ- euce of money has become a groat and jmportant fuotor in polities. Party torrorism hna beon em- ployed to crush honest differonces of opinion. Rascals havo boen commissioned to callact tho pubiic rovenue on shares. Timo would fail usto enumerate the pirtivular griovances imposod upou tho parby in 3hat Btate, for in Mausacha- sotts the Republican party is tho poople,—the Domocracy constltuting morely a seattering voto, The time laving ¢omo to say what tho poople really think, they have elected a Domocratic Governor and a majority of Domocratio Con- grossmen in & Btato vihich had givon as high as 70,000 maojority for thy Ropublican ticket. Bam Bowles' timgo has come! - He has loug beon toll- iug va that “The earth was foverous and did ehaoke,” down East. Mo wesright in point of fact, though » Jittle out of his reckoning as to time. ‘What will be the outcome of thi tremendous victory of tho Opposition? It ia too oarly to mako enfe predictions. Two years ago, the Ro- publicaus achieved & eimilar victory, and it turned their hoads. Thoy fancied that nothing could disturb them in the possession and uso of tho power they enjoyed. They carried things with a bigh hand. They passed tho Salary- Grab. Thoy eubjugated Louisiana by military violonco, They dafied publio seutiment in overy possible way. Tho Presidont fanoied that ho had olectod the party, instoad of the party eloct- ing bim, and, sctiog upon this theory, ho allow- od a third-torm schems to bo cooked by his kiteh- en-cobinot, Everybody in public place had tho ‘'big-head. All tho worst elomonta of the party came to tho front. Con- sclontious sud thoughtful mon were ol- bowed to tho rear or 'shoved upon the pave- ment. And the rosult s what wo seo! Now the question is whethor tho taotics of the two purtics will bo rovorsed, as their situation ia roversed. Will the Republican party lash its doga back into the kennel, and put ils men in command onco more? Will tho worst elemonts of tho Domocracy now come %o tho frout snd tako the load? Will its Feruando Woods, Bam Raudulls, Tom Florences, Voorhoosos, and El- dredges, not to montion tho uusatisfied Rebel cle- ment of the Bouth, lead it in tho next Pros- idential campaign? If so, it hns achioved a barren victory, ‘“he Republicans are still A ma- Jority of the country, aa they ave of Massachu- gotts, and thoy can only be dislodged from tho Exccutive branch of the Government by ox- tremo folly on their own paxt, combined with ox- trome prudenoce on the part of their advervarics, S————— Tho associatod alumni of the Uuivemity of Obleago aro doing & good woxk in Shefr proposed endowmont of s Professarship for their Alma Mater. This isa practical sud substantial way of showlng their affection for tholr educational paront. The plan ou whish they have atarted tho endowment is to ask from evory membor his noto at fivo years for the subsoription whish he facls able $0 muke, and to oolledt £rom him semi- snuuslly interect s4 the rato of 20 per cent por annum. The cndowment could 1ot bo batter in- veated than in this wey. Thosum of $10,000 was immedistely subeczibed by the alumni presant ad thelr late mosting, and 14 s be- loved that thers will bo no difffoulty in inercas- ing It to $26,000 whon il the mombora of tho Asaoclation nhall Liave beon advised of tho plan. This will ondow s Professorsbip at a malary of $2,600 o yonr, NEEDED LEGISLATION, The pooplo of this county hiave eleoted to rap- resout thom in tho Btate Logislature a vory fair dologation, It includes neveral mon experlonced in logislation, who are also mon of ablity ; and, 88 a wholo, it will compsro favorably wilh any equally numerous body ohoson at & popular oloc- tion by tho votes of opposing partics. Messra. Haines, Tngalls, Jackaon, Bogu, Bradwoll, aud Iliso are well known to the community gonerally, and Mossrs, Dow, Waite, and Thompaon, of the Bouate, holding over, aro also favorably known, Among the other membors eloct ara several who havo considerable logislative oxporionce, Tho Qity of Chicago has much nood of an ablo ropre- sontation at this time in the Leglslature. The condition of thia eity in soveral particulars calls for logislative romody. Tho general st of in- corporation noods amendmont in some partiou- lars to make # couform to the wants of & Iargo city. Thoso mmondments noed mnot impair tho gonoral charactor of tho law, but meroly cnlargo the acopo of tho law in particulara that rolate oxclusivoly to s large city. Tho county useds at this time an intelligont dologation at Bpringfiold, which can be united to miake an earncst sppeal for o rovision of tho Goneral Rovonuo law, and to place our systom of taxution on a rationsl basis, If the membors of tho Logislature knoew the way assossmonts aro mnde in Ohicago, they would need no otlier argumont to convince thom that the system of taxation by valuation can never bo anything but nmockery and o fraud. Our Revenuo lawiaa tissue of absurditics, dovised under the insane idea that personal propoity has boon, or can be, roached for taxablo purpotes by any mode of valuation. The law bristles with ponaltios aud oaths, and provides for inquisitorial visitationa and summary procecdings, all of which are dosd lotters on the statute-book. Tho fact is, that the proportion of the wealth of tho Stato invested in porsonal property is stenuily on tho inoroase, aud yot tho proportion of that property found by tho Assessor and made o pay taxes annuslly diminishes. ‘Wo havo hopos that the membors of tho noxt Legislature from this county will give this im- portantsubject thelr oarnest attention, and that they may bo ablo to unite upon some ‘plan of romodying the dofects of tho presout law and urgo it upon tho Legiulature. Bomo legislation is also neoded to carry out the constitutional Iintention to relieve this county of tho township systew, with its whole dishonost and usoloss machinory. The city io also deoply intorested in the furthor prosecution of the improvemont of the Illinois River by tho construction of additional dams, huving in view the ultimato steamboat naviga- tion of that river to the mouth of tho Kankakeo, An intelligent and respectable delogation, like thoono to be at Springflold from this county vext wintor, can do much to promote this groat work, LOST IN THE RUINS, Tho lossons of Tuckdny are as suggostive from » moral 25 from a polltical point of view. In tho dobris with which the tidal wave has strown tho oountry may be found two socinl issnes, fnvalving moral pownts, badly shattorod sud so disfigured that their beat friends will bardly recogurzo thom—Woman-Suffrege and Probibition. Ponding the advent of the regular political iesucs of the day, those two questious ocoupled a lurge sharo of the public attention, Ly tho poculinr aggroasivoness with which thoy were advocatod and tho rockloss manner in which thoy woro thrust upon tho people upen the stump and in crusades, Woman-suffrage was incorporated into the nowConatitution of Michigan, and, as the now Constitution was oyerwheimngly defeated, of courso woman- suffrago wont under with it. It is stated, by way of consolation, we presume, that tho suf- frago clause-recoived a vory complimontary voto, ‘I'his, howover, will not prove n source of couso- Intion to tho lenders of the movemont, as compliments are tho Jast things in the world which thoy desire. Tho result is a sevore blow to the movement, from the taot that if the people of Michigan rofuse to have any- thing to do with it, there is littlo hope for it in tho othier States, which have not boen go kindly disposed towards it. Thero are three sulliciont rossons for ite defest. Firut, tho Boechor scandal, although woman-suffrage was not rcespousible for ik, has done much to sickon pooplo of tho wholo movement. Although woman-suffrage had nothing to do with the rolations of Beocher to Mra. Tilton, yot it was cnught in bad company, and has enffered from the sagociation, a8 & man may suffer for being in the company of thieves, although not guilty of thoft. Every ono of tho prominent actors in tho seandal was & prominent roprosontative and wdvocate of woman-suflrago, and the free-love proclivities, which were carried out in this scandal, wore tha distinguishiug fenturos of one wing of tho womau-suffragista. The publio has not bad tho timo oz tho dispoition io deaw any lines of distiuction, but have chiosen to put tho whole thing ono sido. Becond, the ocauso was advocated upon the stump in Michigan in a vory injudicious manner, and with so much of falso asportion, reckloss statoment, and bad tempor, that many of tho newspapors which hed boen favorablo'st tho outsct and were cordial advo- cates withdrow thoir support, aud the peoplo would not stay to listen. Third, the people nover wantod it, es tho vote shows very con- cluaively, As woman-guifrage has beon defeated 1n the only Btate in which it was & clear, straight lusue, &0 prohibition alyo has recoived its coup de grace in Massachusetts, the only 8tato in which it was o olear, stmight issuo, Its dofeat is utter, crushing, snd final, and it desorved it. During tho Inat two yoars no attompt has boon mado to onforce it in tho cities, and the oporations of tho Btato Constabuisry have been eon- flued to the rocoipt of bribes from tho liquor-gellers and the mout outrageous practicos of corruption.

Butler fuil HOW THEY VOTE IN NEW YORK, Btudents of claction roturns must have no- ticed tho clearncss of the Now York dispatches, their fullness, and tho promptitude with which thoy are supplicd to the outsido press. It ia often casior to find out just how an election 1,000 milos onst has gone than to got as accurate dotails of o similar cootost at homo. Tho factis oxplainod by the differonce in the mothods of voting m voguo in New York and Chicago. In the former, the procincts aro much smaller, so that tho voto of ench can be quickly eanvassed. 'Ihere are, morcover, separato ballot-boxes for oach get of candidutes. If National, Btato, city, county, and town oflicials axo to bo olectod at the same timeo, thoir numes aro not, ns with ue, printed on one long, crowdod, and confusing tickot. Each sot has a sep- arato builot and a separato box. The aseorting is therefora done whon the polls aro closed. Tho judges of cloction do not have to struggle with soratchod tickets innumerable. As each ballot contains only one or two names, there is vory littlo seratohing done. A voter bands in ono ballot for a Republican Congrossmsu and an- other for a Democratio eounty ticket without having to alter the printed forms and without imposing any additional burden on the canvass. ers. This plan almost entiroly prevents tho common dodge of printing a struight ticket with the namo of one opposition candidate surrep- titiously inserted. The fraud is 8o ocasy of do- tection that it does not pay. ‘Thoroe is no logal obstaclo to our adopting this mothod. When tho next election-time comes around, it woutd be woll to try it. It is but common morey to eandi- datos and constituents to reliovo thom from tho pangs of uncertainty at the earliest possiblo moment. : A TRADES-UNION OF WOMEN, The women eugnged in the bookbinding trade in London have formed a Trades-Unjon, It iy styled tho Bocioty of Women Employed in Book- binding.

M. Louis Languo, it will bo remombored, contondod that Nature'y plan of producing a fine race was by tho survival of tho fitteat, and that this should bo applicd to the Luman raco, by compolling the doctora to stop giving medicinos, aud lot the slck and wenkly dio, siuco thoy sro not it to survivo, Thoro is an alarming contingency, howover, which M. Languo did uot take into conaldora- tion, namely : that if the doctors stopped giving medlcinos, tho woak and sickly might rocover. August Fillomout, a friend of M. Lungue, and & devoted adheront of absintho, hag given a now turn to tho Darwinian dedactions, by applying them to tho use of alcohol, and haa writton an articlo upon tho subject in tho Revue des Deux 2Bfondes, called “Alcobolismo ot Absinthismo,” in which bo applica tho doctrino of tho survival of tho fittest to driuking. Iio commonces by showing that alcoholic stimulants have beon in mec from tho earliest dawn of croa- tlon. Noah got drunk the moment ho landed on Ararat, All the great men of antiquity got drunk, nud bolsterously drunk,—among thom Aloxander, Domolrius, Antony the Triumvir, Cumsar, and others. The strongeat nationa of tho carth have boen tho great drinkors, as the Normans, the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, tho Gormans, and tho Eoglish, while the weakoat have boen tho most abstemious, like the Hindoos and tho Asintica gonorally. Nothing grest in litorature or art was ever accomplished by a raco of total abstainors, while tho men who have boon pro-ominont in these directions’ have beon thoso who could hold aleohol without danger oithor to Intollect or physique. Assnming theso points, M. Fillomont then contonds that drinking should bo oncouraged. T'ho miserable bummers and poor, weak drinkors would soon dio out aud disappear from tho earth, and only the fittest would survive, After a cortnin timo this dominant race of Gambrinuses and Borsork- eora could alternato the superintendence of the offairs of tho world with poriodicel Titanic drunks and colossal spreos which would realize tho splendid caroussl of Heine in tho town-collar of Bremen, when all the world got drunk, tipsy angels sat upon tho oaves of tho housea playing their harps, and the drunken, rod-nosed san wont whirling around tho tipsified, gloriflod world. Tho Freuch philosopher's deductions from his Darwinian thomo aro uniquo, to say the least; but, until tho quality of liquor improves, thero ie littlo danger that any of the present raco of drinkers will survivo, or help propagato his idenl race of thoe fittest drinkers.
