They missed it by ouo vote, and choso » Baltimoro Rector who served in the Con- federate army durlug the War, So tho Church has lost moro than a Low-Church Bishop by the lofection of Bishop Cumminn, Tho Daltimoro & Ohio Iiailrond Company has azain declined to bo o party to the Ssratoga agroomens. Vory sovere pressure was brought 1o bear upon representatives of the Compnny at » meoting in Baltimoro yesterday, but they stood out bravely, It begius to look a8 if somo of tho groody onos would cut thoir own throats, Gov. Garland, of Arkansns, sneaked into his office yosterday liko a thicf in tho night; sud, after ho was fairly in posscesion, sent a messnge 1o tho Legislature communicating tho fact.

Whaovor wing, it 3 “sn exhibition of popular suprom- ney.” Tho Patton-Swing coutroversy is becoming a Lore of awful dimensions. Like au old ferce with a now nome, it betraye iteclf in whatevor roannor it fnset. Tho Inlerior, of course, onjoys it, for it is to that consnmptivoe organization both meat ond drink, But unregenorate folk are getting mighty tired of it ; and wo are lad to seo that tho pentlomen who bave all slong had tho good senso and the good menoers of the controversy on their kide are gotting tired of it too, Mr. Noyes makes his last contribution to the scandal this mormng, and Dr. Swazey makes his first and lost. Tho whole buslness may woll bo dropyed now, Tt ia protty well sottled that the oleclion in Louisinua will bo contested, Evidenco of fraud and intimidation is eaid to bo forthcoming; and, 28 tho Returning Board is cbliged to reject ro- turny which appear to bo secured by these meang, the Democrats are fedrful of loging tho, Logislature. There is soma apprehension of violenca and bloodsbed, but probably notbing so bad as that will oceur, The Returning Boerd has sltogeibor too wido » discretion, It will consult the interests of the party by reforring the casen of alleged intimidation and fraud to s higher tribunal, or one which enjoys popular confidence, for mves- tigation and judgment. ‘Thero is not much Civil-Service Reform in the appointment of Mr. Philip Wadsworth to bo Col- lector of Internal Revenue at Chicago, but on otlior grounds it is unoxcoptionable, Mr, Wads- worth bas good businesa experinnce, his nc- quaintance amovg tax-payers is extonsive, and bis dovation to tho Rtopublican party is well ap. proved. Wo understand that Souator I.ogan objected to the promotiou of Mr, Moyt bo- cuudo ho was not “a public man," or wide- Ty known in commercinl circles. 'Chis objoe- Hon lLas some force, It may bo re- marked, further, that the Dresident has novor conseuted to apply tho principles of Civil- Servico Reform in tho caso of the highost officod, unless tho subordinste boxt in rank to tho racancy bad peculiar qualifications for the place, Whether Mr, Yoyt bus these or not has beon disputed by the Department snd the Senator and Representative immediately intor- estod {n the appoiutment, While we bave our- eolvea & very high opinion of Mr, Hoyt, it Is not 80 cortain that Ar.

Yosterday was approprintoly obsorved by tho bovgman fv Povnsylvanin. Threo murderers wero didposod of. Ono of thom was Udderzook, tho man who uttomplod to swindlo certain lifo- insuranco compauios, and murdorod his accom- plico n order to prevent tho oxposure of his fiaud. The history of this ecrimo is relatod at some longth in our naws colunms, It almost forces admiration of tho ingenuity and cool dotorminntion of tho criminal, while it roveals & dogreo of turpitudo in him which was not too sovercly pun ished by denth, Udderzook was a sort of Frauk~ onstein, an unhealthy croation, reprasonting in all his physical robustnoss tho woral weaknoss of his progenitera, Tho othoer two mon oxo- cuted yeaterany were commonplnce butchors. Thoy had not tho wit to escapo detection oven monientarily, nor to porceivo tho immonso risk they were running. It ts impossiblo to estimata the intelligenco of a man who would murdor his mothor and siotor meroly to savo houschold ex- ponges. A London dispatels published yestorday mora- Ing gave informatiou of u duel lately fought bo- twoen two Irish momuora of Parliament. Tho Asgoclated DPross corrospondont discrootly ro- frained from mentioning names, being undor mortal fonr, no doubt, of makiug up an tutor- osting item of news, Howaver, it is pos- sible to ‘come mnoar tho truth, if not actually touch it. The Irish mombors concerned ars probably The O'Donoghuo, an English sympathizor, and Mitebell Houry, o Iomo Ruler. The O'Donoghus is mombor for Korry, Hisconrso in Parlismeut has excitod tho bittorest enwmity of the Nationaliats, who have ccomo to regard him as a roncgade. Ionryia ona of the richost land-owners in Ireland,—by which wo mean that ho owns much land supposed to bo voluablo, yot that Lo onjoys the folicity of one who owns half an acro or less of Irish soil. Theso mon wero pitted against each othor in Par- liamont, and ongaged iu the amenitics of debate with truo Celtic forvor. If thoy havo boon fight- ing, it in because of words spoken in Parliamont or on the bustings, THE GROWTH OF MOH . ITORE, In tho year 1860, tho City of Chicago contained 109,00 inliabitants, and the rovenuo roiged {hat Year by taxation for all municipal purposes was $975,816. Tho total valuation of real and por- sonal property at that time was $37,033,512, Tho rato of tax was 10 mills on the dollar,—a rate that hud been raraly oxcecded beforo that timo, This did not includo specinl taxes for atreot improve- ments. In 1802, the annual tax-lovy hind fu- creased to £564,000, tho rate beiug 15 mills on a valuation of $37,139,815: and two yeara Inter, in 1864, the valuntion bad roached £48,732,752, and a tax of 2 pur cont was levied, yielding S974, This, it will bo romombered, was only ten years ago. In the four yoara the anuual tax-lovy had grown from §378,316. In 1865, tho lovy was §1,294,188, ard in 1866 it was $1,719,004, Lhe rate of tax boing 40 milla. Tu 1807, » cnorge wes mado in the maunor of nssessment, It was then dotermined to bave & cash valuation of tho texable proporty, with a correspouding reduction in thoe rate por cont of the tax. The first nssozsment undor tho ro- formea policy wia in 1808, and showed an aggro- gato valuation of §230,247,000, against 95,053~ 000 for the yoar 1866, While tho valuntion was neronsod nearly throofold, the rate ywas reducod oniy one-half, and a tax of 93,223,453 wag lovied and collected. The City Government then atart- ed'ona wild system of increase. We twore not only raising millions by direct taxation, but wo wera borrowing money by the #alo of bonds, Wo went heavily into tho * * Board” business. Wo organized sovernl Boards, each of thom moro coatly than was tho wholo Cily Government threo yeara bofore, Wohad, of course, an annual deficit which was snugly hidden away in a bond having twenty years toran, The * Boards™ openod magnificently. The number of thefr employes was increasod, and oxtravagaut Gov- ornment oxponses were founded., In 1869, the valuation of taxable property was run up to $266,000,000, and the rate of tax incressed to 15 mills, yiolding 9,990,000 rovenye. Moro ox- pense was piled on; more persons wero om- ployed, and officera wont to the Legialaturo and Lnd their solaries ralsed and made absolute in tho charter. In 1870, tho valuation was pushed to 275,900,000, and & tax of 16 mills laid, producing £4,139,793. In 1874, » large partof tho property waa destroyed by fire, and the rato of tax waareducod to 10 mills, and only $2,807,~ 364 rovonue was colleoted. ‘Lho tax-lovies sinca | thon have boon: CiPAL EXPEND- Valuation, Revene, 1872, 234,197,450 4,402,001 3 2072903 B017,314 187 5,420,208 The other income from liconses and miscel- lancous purposes will amount to porhaps £350,- 000, making an aggrogato of revenne of $6,770,- 000, ‘horatoof tax fn1864 was 20 mills on o valuation of £64,000,000, In 1874, tho rato of tax {418 mills on o valuation of $300,000,000.

Elisha A. Allen, Chilet Justice and Chance!lvr of tho Kingdom, Luvoy Extracrdinary and Minlstor Plonipoton- tiary, aud the Hom, IL, A. P, Cartor, momber of tho Irivy Comncil.

Inms- much a8 tho United Staton, from the contlyuity of the islanda, naturally invited the foroign trade of the Hawallnn Kingdom, s troaty of tho chav- actor they sought wowld bo of mutuat bonefit. Tho amusing part of tho intorviow In which theso facts woro givon to a reporter was tho hing that, if the Hawaitans obtaiuod this trosty, aud if they iirod of politieal indapendance” and looked ta anuexation aa a retlof, thou, should tha United Stales bohave kindly ouougl, Hawall might bo annexad to thom. AN INEVITABLE RESULT, Wo have no quarrel with what is delusively styled "indopondent journalism.” Wo repoat, howavor,what wo snid a fow dnys ngo, that *Tho Pross, to bo usoful, cannot avoid boing partisan in groator or lews dograo. If an editor undortake the role of supporting both sides, Lis posttion Is equivalont to o double aflirmativo,whioh nmounts to & negntive. If ho habltunlly consures aud conilemun both, Hio 18 koon rogarded ne a common seold and o nuisanco. To bo ontirely unportisan leaves him In tho conditlon of a cipher; and when a nowapaper uudertakes to be wholly *in- dopondont” of e party, nud yot digcussen politics, 1t 18 on the high rond 1o tho camp of ita political apponents.” Tho truth of this i being rapidly Hiustrated by tho courso of tho pnpor which was onco the organ of the Domoeratis party in the Northwest. That paper bos alrondy passed through sovoral of tho deserlbed singes, and is now rapldly striding towards (ho comp of the Repube liean party, Tho chronology of its pro-- grossivo stops docs nob covor o very ex- tonded poriod. It bns bLoen 8o brlef that thoro aro but fow voters who cannot recall whon that papor was so extromely opposed to tho Ropublican party thab it troated that prty and tho Government as identicsl, and looked upon the Robol army as ougaged in tho laudablo work of raaking dowt that patty; when the men who, being Domocrats, donnod tho Union uniform woro taunted as * Lincoln’s hiralings ¥ aud mauny cau recall its actual rojoloings whon 1he Ttobol forces wero succossful in delaying tho Union triumph. It can perhaps bo romembered, 100, tbat when Mr. Lincoln framed an onth, upon taking which any Hebel in tho socossion Btatos might bo takon under National protoction, this fiercely Domoeratic papor declared that any man who took that oath ought to be thencoforth trosted ss & “dog” Wo ro- coll theso things, not for tho purposo of roviving any unptoasantuess, but to ghow tho extromo Democratic point that papor started from. Of courso the cditor's antipathy to tho African was intonso, and the time whou mon of dusky complesiona would bo admitted to voto, aud hold oflico, and bocomo Senators and Ropro- sentatives, was commonded gonerally to Domo- crat as a good timo to die, thereby avoiding tho disgrace of living in o land whero such things wero sllowod. On this grand poiutof Domo- cratic doetrino hio was gorgeous in bis rhetoric ; and the pictures of what was to follow nogro sulfrago were perfectly appsllivg. This was tho utmost limit of Democracy, and thenco bogun the rotrograde movement. Strange as it may seem, the editor firat wenkened on the African, Having nsked the question : * Would you have your daughler waerry a negro?" so often, ho finished by auswering his own question in tho afiirmative. Tor & season, the Demacratic organ favorod aud advocated the unconditional political cquality of the whito and black racos. ‘This was the first attack of tho disease of *‘in- dependent jourualism,” but of this tho oditor in timo wns cured. It i8 true thers was a relupse which st timos promised fatal results, but tho typo of disonso was difforont, it boivg o mania for greonbacks to bo fusucd by the ream, aud sont out to tha people to be distributed cheap at tho ** dollar stores,” and rotailed liko paanuts at tho streot cormers, Don Butlor inspircd this ides, aud the mau who wanted to be an *inde- pendent journalist " took it up us ho bal previ- ously takon up negro suflagoe, to the Lorrorand disgust of all his renders. Aftor using [ds iude- pendent journal in a vaiu effort to pay off’ the national debt with printed rags, and to sducate tho peoplo up to the point of belioving tiat “u pieco of leatuier, tin, or ovon wood," utawpod by tho Government with tho dollar marl, was just a8 good mouey as gold or silver, Lo again toured on *indepoudont journalism." Ho then jassed to the nexu stage: ho begun habitually to cen- suro'and condemn both partics, finding no good in cither, and secmiug to gloat over tho goneral depravity to which ho was tho sole exception, In this stago ho, of . courso, became & * common seold aud o nuisance.” And now, at last, without ceasing to be tho ccommon scold and a nuisance tothe Democracy, that paper proclaims itsolf wholly independent of 1ta own party, and yot discusses politica, and, in 8o doing, veritles day aftor day our statement that such o papor must inevitably go forward on tho tigh road to the camp of ita former politicsl oppononts, Thoro is no outcomo to the present courso of that shoot, oxcopt its toarty and vigor- ous support of tho Republicnn candidate for Presidont in 1876. To'that point it s rushing with tho irvosistible forco of gravitation. Thore is not & Demacrat or o Republican who reads that paper who is not sblo to detect a daily forward movoment towards that line whoro indopondent jourpallsm bocomes Radical Ropublicanism. For tho prosont tho papor 16 in tho condition of tho egg not fully hatchod,—vory repulsive. 'Tho indopondent jonruallsm it affects moroly aggra- valos its charactor 2 necold and & nuisanco; but it fs only n quostion of tima whon putting theso asido it will bo hoard cryiug lustily for tho Ropublican candidatos for oftico, and insisting that avery man bolonging to the party shonld vato for tho regular nominces| IHore, thon, in Chiengo, wo bave a notablo instance whoro a porty organ, holding the extremo view thut a rebollion was justifiablo when the oppoeing party adminigtored tho Government, huving onco woakeuod in its party faith, has progressed, step aftor stop, through tho various stages of public nuisanco and indopeudent journalism, until ot 1ast it is about to fall bodily into tho srms of its former political opponents, and to bocoms an ndvocato of tho priuciples for opposing whiol it was once supprossod by the Govornment ag gly- ing aid and comfort to trailors in arms. —— Tho New Orlouns Republican makos the arrival of the stesmor Clty of Moxlco from Vora Cruz tho thomo of su articlo upon the subject of trado with Mexico, of which it rogards tho stonmer ua tho ploncor. Tho Valloy of tho Mis. slunippi Lus rail and river communication with New Orloans, it complaing, and yet, in profer. ouco to shipping goods bouud for tho South American marlots through tho Crescont Clty from St. Louls aud Chicago, distancos respect. ively of 1,430 aud 1,600 miles (tho Republican's figuros), doalora prefor to send thotn vis Now York, & distanco exactlydoublo, Tho morchauts ot theso two oitles aro therofore called upon to loolk to It, §n order to dovelop tho trade bolween Now Orloans and Mexico, and to establish, ns nonrly ns practionble, a uystom of reelprocity in tho commorcint rolations of tho two conntries, BEN DUTLER'S NEW PARTY. Witovor clso Len Butler may he or may not be, ho ia ot lea t irroprossible. Tjecied from tho Domooratic patty and booted out of tho Re- publican, and tho doors of both looked and bar- rod against him, ho now threnions to open sn opposition catablishmont by siarting 5 new party, This will not bo o startling or unexpoct- ed announcemont, as Bon Lias uo othor rosourco Tolt. Ho has lost casto in both tho existing por- tios of tho country, Nolthor of them will trost bim any louger, 1o must, thorofors, put him- golf ot tho hiead of ' & naw varty, or ko must sink out of ight in a political sense. Tlo latter con- dition, bowaover, 1s one which it may be agrumed Butler will never voluntarily oxperience. Ho Lns always boon on tho surface, and lio always will be, 80 long 08 hio haa lifa onough loft in Liim to float, and, as it makea little difforance to him whothor ho floats 1n cloar or foul water, it is plain that wo havo not scon tho last of him yot, and will uot until corruption cosses to o au oloniont of Amarican politics, Assuming, therofore, that Lo will organizo & now organization, which bo will probably call the party of Reformors, it s not diffionit to forecast stscharactor, Ay that party will bo iuspired by tho Butlerlan polioy, wo have ouly to look at his own charactor to get that of the party which ho will organize. - Ben Butlor is tho embodiment of politieal cortuption, intriguo, aud rageality. If thoro fa an honost hair in hiu hond, it is growing thoro without thoe knowledgo or consont of the owaer of tho hond. Polities with him {4 & moana toan end. Thoecnd Is tho gratification of por- onal ambition and greed. Tho moana by which Lo reachoy that end nre alwaya crookod and in- sincero. If thowsy of the accomplisbinont of his dosires Iy straight boforo him, howould prefor to ronch it by cabal and stratagom, 8o as to cover up his tracks. There nover yob was a lead oponad into tho mine of corruption which did uot discover Ben Butler squatting liko s toad womowhore in it. Ho is the Mephistophiles of American politica, He not only ks no political morality himeolf, but ho ucouts at it in othors, If now aud then he puts on tho cloak of moral- 1ty, tlio Lottor to accomplish somo purposo, the grinning, snoering devil is stiil undor tho cloak, and, swhon ho hins sccomplished his purpose, ho ausalls tho agency whiol prooured it for him, Buch a maun may gather about him s ring ora faction of men like bimsolf and hold them by tho cohosivo proportios of plunder, but ho can nover organizo & groat party and contend for principlos. o has nouse for principles ; no uso {for mon with principles; no use for anything but tools for tho accomplishmout of corrupt purposes. A mau of {his cliarnctor can only attract gbout him men of liko character. His followers will bo corrupt men ; wen who aro bent upon plun- dor; the bummors and vagabonds who always follow in tho wake of tho great political armics for tho enke of the pickings and stoalings; men who ara bent upon making monoey out of politics by selling of oflices, by political jobborics, by eubsidies, by Crodit Mobiliers, by grabbing sataries, both forward and back, by contracty of tho Sanborn sort, by Custom-Tonso frauds, and Ly any meaus lLiowever quostionablo, so that thoy can put money jn their pocketsi and mon who believe in gagging the pross 50 thnt it sbull not oxpose thoir corrupt practices. Théro is unothor cluss of the com- munity which Bon Butler will attract to Limuelf. Youug mon whose moral codo is loose and flex- ible, and wuo think that the chief end of lifeis to get money aud spend it, will flock after him as tho snmo class of youug men who fancied that Jim Fisk cmbodied tho highest type of manhood flocked after him aud emulated his practices. Thoughtless snd recklons, thoy aro dazzled by tho ostensible sucecss of such cor- rupt braggarts, and rush aftor thom without forosight onouyl to see whore their rockicseness will inovitably lead them. It led Jim Iiek into his grave, Stokes into & felou's cell, and Bubler into tho contompt of all honest men, aod yot thoir fute would not probably dotor this class from atiaching itself to Butlor's ranks, Such ore tho material, and such tho only material, which Butlor can organize into & new party; aud, whou orgunizod, Valstafl's army was not more raggod in raimout than this party will Do in Lonsty. It will be of advantage if Butlor succocds in his purposcs, as it will draw off the corrupt oloments of all parties, and bring them Dotoro tho country in & mass, whero they will bo = spectaclo for gods and men. THE PROCTOR-MOULTON SUIT, The great Brooklyn scandal 8 in the law courts at last, two of tho twelve or thirteen wuits which Dave grown out of it having been enlled for trinl, that of Tilton vs, Beechor, and Miss Proctor vs. Moulton. The publis Lis un- doubtedly longago ceased to be surprised at now developmonts in this scandal, MMr, Boocher waa found sitting upon 80 many ragged edgos and crouching in 8o many eavos of gloom that they at last grow ledious, aud, satintod with bis sccomplishments aud sonsations, people at last were proparad for overything and surprised at nothing. The suit at law of Tilton vs, Bacolior ia till in its Incipient slogos, sud has brought nothing to the surfaco ns®yet, but the ouis of Mies Proctor against the * Mutual Friond, although 1t g not progressed beyond Mr, Moul- tou's answor to Miss Proctor’s charge, has al- ready bogna to devolop *slobmoss.” It will bo remembored that Miss Prootor charges Moulton with libeling hier in stating that Beccher had beon guilty of erlminal intimacy with her, al- though he did not speolfy hor by name, In his answer to the Court, Monlton does not content Liimself with o specitio donial of tho libel, but gets up In mooting and talks, Tho substanco of tbo now devolopmont is as follows: Bofore tho publication of biu statoment, Bocchor was tho pas- tor of Plymouth Church, sud exercisoda powertul intluenco upon ite members, In January, 1871, n controvorsy srose botween Theodoro Lilton, & member of thia church, sud Henty O, Bowen, the publishior of tLe Independent, which was the orzan of Boecchor and the church, and Tilton published a lettor, sotting forth cortain miscon. duct of Beochor s rolated to him by Bowon, partioularly his misconduot towarda Mrs, Lilton, Beecher then appliod to Moulton to afd him in the supprossion of these acandals, Tho lottor writ- ten by Titton which was shown to Moulton con- talned, among othor things, & chiargo of oriminal intimacy with * a cortain woman,” Mr, Moulton allogoy that o did not kuow tho namo of this woman unfil he was informed by Ay, Heecher Iimself.

The trial has not yol sufficiently progroasod for comment ; but, unless Miss Proctor can ro- futo Mr. Moulton's allogation, or if Moulton makon thom good by proof, it s avident that sho sliould look to Afr, Boachor for tho responsibliity of tho charges mado ugninst Lor, and not to Moultou, ‘WORKINGMEN AND BAVINGS-BANKS, A saviugs.bank offors tho laboror, for tho uso of his mouoy, snfo-keeping and s small, but sure, payment of intorest, This I6 tho apparont bargein, It is go advautsgoous that itisuot straugo that tens of millionsof money araplaced in savings-bauks every yoar by tho workiug clasgos of the United Statea.” Thoe roal bargain, however, 1a far bottor for the laboror than the appareut ono, ‘Tho bank really offery Lim, be sides safe-kooning and intorest-paymont, oxtra omployment, stoadier work, and better wages.

Tho great prosperity of the working clossen in Now England is at onco proved and causod by thoir Losvy deposits in the saviuge- bauks, In Magsachusetts, 117 such bauks botd over $116,000,000. That anm probably keeps an army of 100,000 mon and womon steadily at worl. Tho oxemption of tho Pacific States from finuucial trouble and business depression and their inovitable result of intonsesuffering among tho working classos is duo, firat, to the fact that those States have a sound spocie curroncy, aud sccond, that their savinge-bauks hove hosvy linea of doposits. Those of San Francisco, with only half the population of Chieago, are #aid to Lold $24,000,000. If tho working men and women of Chicago would raiso their aggrogate doposit trom £9,000,000 to $29,000,600, ns they ensily might do by practiciug economy, they would bLelp themselves & bundred times more than tho Tollef and Ald Bociety and all the other city charitios can evor help themn.

Whan an individual spends moro for any purpose than Iis Iabor or bis income will pay for, ho becomes inovitably poorer ; and so whon ono nation buys from othors more than it produces goods or products to oxchanga thorefor, it is becoming poorer. A striking illustration of how lubor produces capital wan givon by John Roncl, the builder of the splendid steamer City of T'okio, on board that vossel on Ler trinl-trip on tho 224 of October. Ho there stated that, aftor careful calculation, tho valuo’ of the raw matorials on the earth, forost, and olsowhero which enterod into tho construction of that vessol wag only ubout $9,000. As it floatod proudiy on tho Bay of New York, it roprosonted o capital of $1,260,~ 000. All this vast addition of values to the raw matorial ig the result of the labor and tho skill that formed them into the maguificent vossel, Tho principlo stated by Prof. Price and its il- Instration givon by Mr, Roach should havoe their appropriato efoct upon the industrios of Chi- cngo.
