The puddlers ‘have o strong union, snd will probably stirike at theblnt of & reduction. If thoy do, tens of thonsands of workmen, including miners, mill- hands, and commou laborers, will be thrown out of omployment for tho winter, Tho progpect is aiscournging. If the puddlers have tho sanse of the locomotive-engineors, thoy will postpouo a strike, whatever tho provecation, until s more favorable senson. A thanksgiving proclamation has boen issued by the Conservative Coutral Committeo of Louisinna, summoning ull the people * to meet at thair respective places of worship on Nov. 19, and give thanks to Almighty God for their de- Liveranco from political .bondago.” Ordinarily an iuvitation of this kind by a * Central Commis- toe” would bo considored ludicrous or impious, according toindividual inclination; but ihe pooplo of Louisiana huve some slight provocatiou to exercigo their religioua natures, if half that is told of the election is true. However, the Central Committees may as welt leave thauks. giving prociamations far the constituted au- thoritics to issue ; else thero will be Republican thankegivings and Democratio fasts, or Repub- lican fasts and Democratic thanksgivings, after evory alection, Buch an order of things would cauge diksensions in some familios. A significant circumstance of the late election in Mussachusctts is that a full vote was polled. “The vpinion prevails in this neighborbood that Butler and the rest of them wero beaton by tho indifferent Republicans who stayod ot home.

The Lord may have accopted thia oloventh-hour repontance, but the district did not. Tho dolay was tho main argument of Mr, Raborts’ opponents. It sooma to bave converted o good mony votors, TFow of our readers will bo aurprised to learn thut the insurance companios which withdrow from Chicago soveral weeks ago havo decidod to roturn. It hae boen all along s settled thing tbat the compauios would repont of their inconsiderato action, and seize tho flrat decent opportunity of amending it. And now tho thno has como. Tho accaptance of tho oflica of Consulting Evgineor by Gon. Shalor furnishes the desired excuso. Tha companies which jolned in tho leaguo bave done no barm to Chicago. Their attompt at persecution forced tho citizens to bogiu roform moasures which etherwise might havo boen delayed indefluitely. But it s n chr- cumstance not to bo forgotton that tho motives of thoso who dircoted tho policy of the National Board bave since beon impugned by excollent suthoritv, The report that New York morchants procured tho withdrawal of the companies on ac- count of commerclal jealonsy finds rospectablo support in Boston, whose capitalists tho peoplo of Chicago havo ngain to thank for timely aid. The King of Burmal, in search of some now excitemont, bag reeently beon contemplating the issuo of paper currency, and at last accounts waa on tho eve of doing go, baving been induced thoroto by one of his advisors, who told him: **Your Majesty is too kind to put any gold or silvor at all in your royal coins. Englaud, France, aud America make most of thelr pay- ments 10 what is called Troasury notes, and theso are bils of paper only. Everybody takes thow as rendily n8 cash, and people have boon known to ight bocause thoy did not want actual coin, but proferred that paper. Why,'your Majes- ty can buy paper at only 4 few rupacs por ream, and then make Trensury noles for lakhs and Inkbs of rupoes out of them.” As tho Kingis going into the buainess vory oxtonsively, thoro ia littlo doubt that he will soon havo his popula- tion in admirable coudition to furpish an un- limited supply of the materal out of which papor is_ made, which will of courso correspondingly incroaso his supply of curroncy. The prospects aro fair, therefore, that the Burmeso will shortly have plonty of money and nothing olse, and that, unless thoy can eat paper currenoy, they will probably go hungry, ‘Wa have recoived the 174th aunual cataloguo of Yaulo College, Wa learn from it that the Col- lego, or, s it should bo tormad, the University, isnow teaching 1,031 studonts, There are eighty- Boven instructors, The aggregate Froshman clags, in the Theological, Law, Medical, Scion~ tiflc, Art, and Acadomical Dopartments numbers 456, The post-gradunte courses of tho Colloge aro meeting with gratifying success.

Thare is lttle doule tat their action was illogal. According to tho best information attainable, the clerk of the eleotion andonoof the judges wero disquali- fied, under the law, from scting a8 members of the Election Bonrd, Itscemsto be true, also, that instead of counting tho votes, declaring tho result, and making out their cortifiento bo- fore adjourning, a8 tho law roquires, they adjowned on Tuesday night without hav- ing porormed theso duties; that thoy throw tho ballots and poll lists into the box, and doposited it, without sealing, in tho house of Johnuy Corcoran, one of the candidatos for Alderman; that thoy loft it there somo thirty~ eight hours, and then borrowed it of Corcoran and took it to Adam Buierio’s ealoon on North Dearborn streot, whoro the clection wus held, and proceeded to count the votos audmake out thoir cortificate, This was just tho sort of bungling job which might have been oxpected from tho clngs of mon who controllod tho polls in that procinet, whera tho shouldor-hitters had it all thelr own way, aad where tho Opposition party were not allowed o challengor insido the voting place, although the law exprossly ssys that each party may have ono. Notwithetanding all this, it is important to romamber that two wrongs do not malke a right. What I8 required by Justico and fair dealing Is not that all tho voters in this precinet, or any othor precinet, should be dlsfranchived, but that tho honest vote of tho procinct should bo ascor- tained. It js compotent for the Board of Can- vasaers, upon the domand of any candidate voted for, to ascortain what tho houest vote is. Itis charged that a number of repeators wore golng thelr rounds on eleotion day in the First, Tlov- euth, and Twentioth Warde, It is olloged that thore was a good doal of colonization and llogal voting dono, It {6 belloved by somo of tha bona fide vosidonts of the Twontioth Ward that at loast 500 moro votes ware polled than thero gre votora in tho ward, Tho law provides ample taollitios tor ascortaining tho facts, Dy requiring o rogiatration hoforohiand, giving the name of oaoh voter, and the stract and number of uis zosidonce, and by raquiring that each ballot bo numberod to corrospond with the votor's namo, ond theo placed on a atring and preserved, all tho dotectivo maohinery oxluts to purge the bollot-box of frauds and to punleh rasonls, ‘I'its machinory was {nvented to enablo parties to contost any oloction whioli thoy wight deom froudulont, sud it {a optlous! with & candldate oithor to demand a rocount of the votes and an inveatigation of frauds by tho Doard of Canvaas- ers bofore tho cortifieato of oloction is granted, or to do so aftorwarda in tho oourts, or In the Commoun Councll, or in Con- gross, ns tho cass .may Lo, Of course, an Investigation of frauds will be much more thorough aud snilsfactory 1t made Immodintoly aftor an olection, whon it {s possiblo to nunrtn!‘ the wheranbouts of the votors, than six months or o year aftorward, whon many of them may havo changed tholr rosidoncos, snd when the rocallectiond of pooploe in tha neighborhood may Lo at fault, Tor thoso reasons it appenra to bo both unfalr and impolitio to throw out a whole precinot morely bocsuse tho judges of eleotion wero blockhoads or chionts. ‘Tho spactacloof an un- senlod ballot-box, contnining the reault of au olcotion, placed in the custody of ono of the can~ didates, nud that eandidate Johnny Corcoran, is enlenlatod to give & striklng improssion of tho valuo of the elaotivo franchiso and tho sacrod- noss of Jaw.

JUDGE M'ALLISTER ON LITIGATION, In Tur Trinuxe thiy morning wo priut a most coxcellent letter by Judge MeAllistor, of tho Su- premo Court of Tllinols, to the Necretary of the Tar Associntion of Ohicago. That Association bad passed a resolution advising that tho sossions of tho SBuprome Court be contralizod,—that is, all held at ona placo,—and this was urged as & monns of facilitating the businoss of that Court. Judge MoAlllster, whiloe approvivg ot tho inten- tion of tho resolution, points out very clearly that that romedy doos not by any means reach tho real ovil. Of tho 700 cases on the docket of tho Conrt at tho last term, Lo declarca that at lonst 500 of thom were such that, in the older Btatos, *lnwyers conld nov bo found who would Jeopard thoir reputatious” by bringing them to ths cours of last resort. Ho thinks the thing ‘most neodod is a roform at the Bar, and Lo ox- prossos Limsolf very plaluly when Lo saya: ‘What wo want most {u the way of legal reform is to put an offoctual stop to tho. Supremo Court of this Stato Lelng turned jutoa more moot court for the ineffectual purposo of tho oducation of thowo as law- yors whom God Almighty nover designed to be law- yers, and who cousequently nover can bolawyers, If 1t wore tho last utternnco of my life, I would say thut T verlly baffovo thiat §f 10 cases wero brought 4o that Court but such a8 & good, sound, well-oducated lawyer would sny ought to bo_pussed upon by the court of Inst resort, thero would be no more complaiut of too much busincss in the Court, Tho Judgo ndvisea the Bar to tarn thelr atton- tion to this griovanco. Ho cltes moveral fu- ‘stancos to show tho trashy cheracter of the cnsos, aud ospecially the appoals by the railroad companies from judgwonts against them for cattlo killed. IIo soys that thoso companios use tho Supreme Court a8 a substitute for foncos on | their ronds. Thoy appesl a case involving the price of & cow, and by such meaus seck to worry tho vlaintiff fnto abaudoning the . olaim,—thom- gelves spending more money thun would pay for tle ammal and keop the feace in repair, This letter vory appropriatoly calls attention to tho litigious spirit of tho ddy. It might have added that the American poople aro tho most litigions poople in tho world. Wo recontly pub- lished the details of tho reorganized judicial systent of England, Under tho new organiza- tion, the whole number of Judgoes of England is twenty-one, and those have jurisdiction over the whole fleld of litigation. They hear all common law cases, all mattors in chancery, all probate business, and all bankruptey and sdmiralty cpres, Thoy slso hear nud dotermine cases arising undor the ecolesinstical law, and all con- troversios with tho national exchoquer. England s the groaleat commarcial and manufacturing country in the world, with a population of 24,000,000 of pcople, aud yot the nnm- ber of cases tried bofors all her courts do not equal those fried in Ilinois alono, Against this judicial system of Eugland, oficored by twonty-one Judges, we havo in Illinois some thirty Circuit Courts, oue bundrod County Judges for probato business, and & Supreme Court of soven Judges,—aud this for & popnlation of 8,000,000, In tho conntry atlargo we have thirty- seven Supromo Courts, averaglng five Judges each, There aro, perhaps, in each State an aver- ago of twenty-five courts, equivalent to onr Civouit Courts, and a I'robate Court, or its cquiv- alent, jn tho two thousand and more conntics of tho country. To this immense judicinl array must bo added tho ffty District Courts of the United States, the nine Circuit Courts, and tho Supromo Court of tho United States. Al theeo courts havo as much business as they can pos- sibly attend to, and all tho courts of last resort aro ovorwhelmod with dockots that are far in arrear, It is o quostion whother tho extraordinnry litigious spirit of the pooplo is the result of so many courts, or whether the vast number of the courts ia duo to tho spirit of litigation, Thero msy bo much said on both sides of that ques- tion, All thoso courts in this country which we lnve onumotated are courts 98 per cent of whoso business s civil, ns distinguished from crimival, Owing to tho fact that contruversios botwoon citizens of different States—moro actlons of dobt—may be brought in the Federal District Courts, these courts transact o vast amount of business that ordinarily should bo dono in tho Btate courts, yot the domsnd for additional State courts is made in aevery Btato. Judgo MeAllistor states that fiva-soveuths of the cages taken to tho Buprome Court of this State aro trashy, and such as no oducated lawyer ought to tako to a court of Jast resors. Might he not have gono further, and added that the same or aven a larger proportion of the suits brought in tho Cfrcuit Courts are go trashy that no edu-~ cated lawyor having regard for his roputation would brlng in any court? Is not tho Bur, a8 o ‘body, responsiblo for tho trasby claracter of the snits brought in all the courts? Tho Logie- Inture not long sinco enlarged the jurisdiction of Justicos of the Ponco to all sums not oxceoding $200, and nlso In cases of replovin and other kindred matters, novortholoss tho domand on the Olreuit Courts continues. In fact, tho law- yors deseribed by Judge McAllster, who deal m flood-wood, appoal all thoir cases from the Jus- tico Courts, and oventually got them befors tho “govon old gontlemen™ who aro gravely ro- quired ag a tribunal of last rosort to dotermine tho idontity of thelr cliont’s plg or ealf, or tho ownership of a peck of corn. Tho Judgo I right in saying that morely haviug the Court moot in one place will uot romedy this; the trauby casea can be tauon to Springfiold na woll a4 to Ottawa or Mount Vernon, Tho remody 18 primarily with the Dar, and socondly with tho Loglelature. If the Bar will poralat {n urglng oliouts to litigation, and will load thom luto hoavy costu and all the animosi- tlos growing ont of ‘lawauits of a trivial chiarac. tor, then tho Logislsturo must intorvene, and muat Umit the right of appeal {n all cases whore tho solo quention is ono of fack whioh has al roady boon detormined by & jury. Oertalnly the Clrouit Courts have logal knowlodge enough to Justity tho assumption that a oago of that kind triod boforo thom has boen proporly dotermined, and that no furthor appoal ought to boaliowed. As tho mattor now atands, it would bo cconomy to havo all theso casos brought originally in the Buprome Conrt, bocauao that Qourt beas now to try thom all ovor again. Tho limitation on ap- veal might, perhaps, bo extonded to othor clasaca of pults and controvoratos, If this had no of- foot in rostraining litigation, it certsinly would protect tho Buprome Court, and glve Ic an oppor-~ tunity of hearing and detormining the law in matlora of importance. P DOUBLE TAXATION, A tax s supposed to be lovied on proporty, and to bo impartially distributed. 12 tho prop- orty of A paya a tax onco, it is manifestly unjust that that of B should pay 1t twico. Doublo tax- ation {a wrong. This is readily admitted in the- ory, and rosolutoly ignored in practice. Illinois compels the owuers of all tho mortgages, stocks, oto,, which hor Assossors happen to find to pay o tax upon thom. In dolng so, sheis guilty of Qouble taxation, BSupposs that A londa B 850,000, eccured by mortgage on renl catate. B will spond this mouoy oither in improving his raul oatate or fu extouding his business, Io the first caso, it, bocomes part aud porcol of tho roalty, and fe taxed with 1t. In tho second, it bocomes part of D's atock of gaods, sud is toxed with it. In oithor onso, B pays a tax upon this $60,000. Requiring Ato poy otax upow his mortgago is, thou, making the samo thing pay & double duty, It A has investod his 950,000 in tho stook of a corporation, thie princi~ plo is tho same. Whon the property roprosonted by thio stock has boon fully taxed, it s unjust to wring another tax out of the stockholdor. Thia is oquivalont to muloting & mon first on his proporty nnd sccond on his title-doeds. A mortgage, & bond, a cortificato of stock, is not in itsolf taxablo property. It iu tho titlo-doed to such proporty. A franchiso i different. Tho State moy rightfully make s railrond, for imstanco, pay & porconisge of the value of ts substantinl possocssions, and then something moro on nccount of ite franchise. Inorder to be guilty of doublo taxation hore, tho State must tax the franchike and then tbo parchment cortifioate of incorpora- tion, which Is the wituoss to tho oxistence of the franchise, If o just rulo wore followed and evidencos of indobtodness wora not lovied upon, the value represented by them would still bo taxed, as wo have already shown, and this tax would bo shared betweon tho lender and the borrower. Although collected from tho lattor, bo womid oithor share its paymont, by privato agreomont with the lender, or ho would pay & lowor rato of intorest in considoration of psying tho whole tax. It is essoutinl to tho tull development of the Northwest that money should boe freoly loaued to its inhabitunts, Nowa tax upon mortgages, whorever imposed, {8 & clog upon the lean markot. Counecticat is about to levy such a tax. Ono of tho firet fruits of tho adoption of that polioy s the withdrawal of a Conueoticut capitalist from lis Chicago investmenis. Ho has refused to extond his prosont mortgages, bo« cause bo fears that tho extra profit of Weatorn over Eastern mvestment will hereaftor bo more thon absorbed, in his case, by the Conneeticut tax. Ho will use Liv monoy in somo other way, in order to oscapo this new imposition, This ia an example of the way tho thing works, It is to the interest of borrowers, as woll as lendore, that such double tuxation should cease., Thus solf-intorost and justice both combine agaiuat it, The next Logielaturo of Tlinols ehould abolish it within this State. A BTATESMAN IN EXILE, Ono of the Commissionors of Public Charitica and Corractions in Now York states that Boss Tweed, tho *‘stetesman,” is living in clogant rotiromont at Blackwell's Island, and with such adogreo of freedom that Lio eanleaye whonsoover he plenses,—a privilege not conceded to his fel- low-prigoncrs, who are Lopt under striot sur- veillance, and whose comings and golngs aro watchod by day and nigit. Why e has not left, there is suflicientronson. Although the ‘states- mau" is restricted from any largo dogreo of social froedom, and is no lougor su ornameunt in thoso social ocircles in Now York whorein he onco shone with such Justre, he is not ohliged to associato with bis companions who aro re- maining ot Blackwoll's Island for offenses of & similsr character but loes iu dogroe than his.

The others occupy uniform 7x5 spartments, with stono walle and floors and fron doors, furnished with an fron pallet and o three-logged stool; the * statesman ™ Lias an apartment in tho coutral building 20 foot long, 12 feot wido, and 12 feot in height, fur- nighed with a double bed scroenod with a cur- tain ; & bureau equipped with sil tho srticles of toilot neconsary to tho beautifying of n * states- man "; two writing-dosks, ono of which is for his privato secretary, sv ologant young fellow, who makes a daily call upon his distinguished mastor in oxilo; essy chairs, a Mbrary, walls deoorated with muslin-colored maroon, and floora covered with soft carpeting. The othors have to be content with bread, bosns, soup, and poa-coffeo ; tho '*statesman® bos tho large dining-room formorly devoted to the gastrouomio uses of the ton Governors sot spart for ks menus, and theso menus comprise tho delicaclos of tho Boason, with such wines as 1o may desire to wash thom down, sud such com- pauy us he moy oloct to dlne with him, In all respocts o toudor regard is paid to s personal tastes, and no discrimination is mado which will bo likely to como into collision with his former hobits of life. Ono of the Commissionors bLav- ing complalued of this stylo of troatment as comparod with that bastowed upon the © statos- ‘man's " loss fortunato compauivos, another Commissfoner assumod the responsiblity for it, and defonded it upon the ground of Mr, Twesd's sge, corpuloncy, habit of body, and habits ot life, alao upon the ground of humanity. 8o far as hu- manity {8 concornod, it iy & poor rule that won't work both ways, If it ls humauo to treat tho 4 gtatesman " with such distinguished consider- ation pud sympathetio tendonclos, it would bo oqually humane to troat all the * etatosman’s * companions in 8 similar mannor, If the othor grounds aro sufiiclout to explain tho liberty ale lowod to tho *statosman,” then it i oruelly unfortunato that bis companions are not rich, and tat, sud old s that they have not lived in fn- dolenco and have 1ot beon gourmands and wine- bibbarey aud lastly, that dbalr bablt of body has pot boon dyspeptio and gouty, onervated by dis- aipation and woakonoed by debsuchory.
