Itie nota bad chance that thoy will remember the gam- blors, and especially tho notorious McDonald, ———— Certain members.of the Common Council who voted to consumato the Union Park slesl bave reponted, and may bo reckoned with tho honest mou in future emergencies, Mr. Dawes hins been picking himself up sluco the elcations, and, according to the Springfleld Republican, ho is now standing well on his pins, But he doosn’t come up smilin, Blielby M. Cullom is looming up, a8 the cor- respondents say, for theSpoakership of the next Tlinois Asgombly, Wo profer Mr., Cullom, even to Hninos—Elijsh M.; and it is not muoh of a ‘wrench to our foelings to say so.

Speaker Blaine's renson for declining an olec- tion to the United States Senato sinco he haa lost thoBpeakership of the Houee has aceasioned womo surprise among Democratio politiciane. They do not understand why & man should re- fuse advancoment for the sake of keeping faith ‘with his constituents. Thore is no article of tho Demoeratio constitution which prescribes any such conduot. Disraell hag explained that the reforence in his Quildball speech to ** Arbitrary Ministers and domiciliary visits,” was not mesnt for Princo Bismarck. Probably it was a slur upon tho lato Eing of the Fiji Idlands, Dieracli is not afraid of him, At this dwstance, the allusion is plain enough ; but the Parisian papors porsist in un- dorstanding it as intended for Bismorck; and, without Mr. Diaracli's glossary, wo might bo bo- trayed into tho same dolusion. It it wero so, ‘he apology woutd be sufiiciently sbject for a Prime Miniater of Eugland. = 1t is about timo that somebody should say o good word for the minors in Southern Ilinois ‘who have lately been on & strike. TnE TninuNe's correspondont, who has made an original inves- tigation of tho facts, reporta that the moen wore dirat deceivod, thon cheated, and finally traducod. No acts of violenco have been traced to tho Unlon, nor is thoro moral evidence of anything of the kind. The strike appesra to have been justi- fiable, if ovor ona was, 'The featuro of it to be regretted is that it was not successful. It cost tho men §6,000 por day, or $72,000 in oll; and now thoy go to work at reducod wagos, The insinuationof Mr, Hoaly that the Lincoln Monument was designed and oxecuted, in whole or in part, by two Italian sculptors has been re- ceivea with gonoral incredulity, and yot with 6adaess quite akin topain, Mr. Larln G. Mead, the avowed and responsible suthor of the monu- ment, has consulted his dignity more than his @mour propre by preserving an unbroken silenco n rospect to Mr. Healy's chargo. Woaro glad to hnve one of Mr, Mend's frionds, the Hon. William M, Bpringer, como to tho rescuo. The lottor from him publivhed this morning pretty offectu- ally disposes of the churge so far g it concerns the statue of Mr. Lincoln; and that, s Mr, Bpringer well says, is the crowning plece of the wark, Tho history of tho Fort Wayue, Munclo & Cin- cinnati Railrond is briefly reviewed in a dispatch published this moring, It is perbaps as in- structive a commontary on Wall stroet morality 28 Lias been furnished of lato yoars; and it serves =lso to explain one of the most, potent causes of last yoar's panfo, The rond, by all accounts, ought uot to have been built in tho first placo; and, when it wag built, it should have boen mavaged on tho most #conom- fcal systom. The foots as wo find thow nre go tangled that an intelligont resume of them would ecoupy more spaco than wo hava to SpRYG, Tt appears that tha road when completod cayi four mortgages; that it had been trausforred from oue party to another some balf-dozen times; that its capical stock was thrown jn to thia and that purchaser, in much the same Way that o tailor gives a necktle or & box of collars Yo & good customor; and that tho tangible effeoty of the Company finally passed into tha hands of a voracious creatura, yeloped *The Muncio Irge provement Compsny.” ‘I'he story {8 a good one for thiy soason of flnancial disastors.

A.

Xeny the man that eaid that, bo hio Adam, or bo bo any othor man 1n lnst wook's papor who says ‘ the womav made the advances which I ouly'mot, '—that man, whoover ho may bo, or whorover ho may bo,—that man ia a cow- ord and asnonk |" This, it will bo obsorved, is tho samo viow which Mr. Tilton took of Boech- or's troutmont of Mra, Tilton, bu it is tho first timo that a clorgyman bas had courage enough to tako this viow of tho situation, The County Commissioners, sinco the recont olection, have becomo inspired with now zeal for buildig a now Court-Houso. The Common Council, howaver, I8 not o forward, The reason for this difference is & peculiar one, Tho oity hasno monoy, Is short of revenuo to meot ita regular expenditures, is prohibited from borrow- {ng, and must raiso any moncy expended upon & now Court-Houeo by taxation, The County Jom- missionors, whilo thoy have no money in the County Treasury, have tho great right of all Amorican municipalitics, of Issuing and soling bonds. The Commissioners are anxious to soll somo bonds, to mako monoy plonty. The Alder- mon would like to do the samo thing, but the Cone atitution, fortunately, donios thom tho priviloge, It this job of building s Court-House reanires Joint action of tho city and county, it is a fortu~ nate thing that the city is unable to do anything in the matter fora yoar. It may bo that noxt June the goneral condition of things may bo so improved that the city may levy s tax for tho building of a Court-Houso, In the ‘menntime, wo suggest that tho prosent County Board and the proeont Common Council shall do nothing, but shall leaveit to their successors, who will entor oftica three weoks Lionco, Tux TRisusE has beon the innocont means of bringing wrath aud woo to the placid bosom of Milton Soyler, Esq,, mombor of Congresa from Obio; nod this was tho way of it: Our Clucin- nat corrdspondent, soveral days sgo, sent a ro- port of au intorview with Mr. Hayler, in which e spoko freely, moro freoly than was becoming, of the probablo action of tho Arkensas Investi- gating Committee. Mr. Sayler is a momber of that Committeo, and, although ho has not boon in nttendanco upon the sesslon nos holding in Little flock, ho was oxceedingly communicative a8 to ite procoedings, Whou Titg TRIBUNE con- taining Mr. Snylor's utterances roached Lit- tle Rock it was shown to Dosars.

Thoy eaid, bluntly enough, that Mr. Sayler was very importinont in agsuming to spouk for tho Committeo; and their words woro telegraphod back again to Tum TowuNe. Bo tho story camo around ngain to En;lur. Te hins loft for Littlo Rock with a plece of his mind for Mr. Ward, aud has sont snother ‘picco to Washington for Mr, Poland, Wo rogrot cexceodingly that our attention to the minutim of this Arkaugse affair, which bas beon quite ro- gardloas of expenyo, shonld have got Mr. Sayler by the cars with his associntes, THE OUTBREAK OF CRIME, The wires are loaded down, overy night, with dotalls of tho oriminal doods of the precediug twenty-fonr hours, We aro apparently living amida contagion of erime, Tur Tripuxe of yesterdsy recorded on ono pige about twenty recont murders, any number of old oucs, the perpotrators of which havo just boen arrosted, ond an assortment of smaller sips, Tho dig- patchies came from all over tho country. One from Wilkosbarre, Pa,, chronicled threo mur- dora and ono attempt at murder, all of which oceurred inside of twelve bours, Ono from Cine cinuati told of tho arrest of tho throe men who stolo 40,600 from the Amorican Express oftic iu that city. Alettor from Mazatlan, Nexico, contained the gratifying intelliganco that a man guilly of fourtéon murders has just died thero,—murdored himself by a fellow- gomblor, Threo of his violims woro murdored in Ohicago. The mnoxt picce of news was the murderof threo brothera in Texas. This wos o curious enso. Throo men took breakfast at tho brothers’ house, and then kLillod two of them, That night, when the third was sittlng with the corpses, the murderors ro- turned aud finisked the job. Noxt to this, in the columns of tuo paper, camo the daily record of the trialof the safc-burglary conspirators at Washington, Then came the story of a 22,000 doialeation in a Now York bank. Tha confession of one of tho murdorers of Farmer Wall, noar Pittsburg, followed. Dotamls of the trial of throe ulleged murderers at St. Paul succeedod this. Thoo, with an extra murder sandwicked i, camo thoe sickeuing story of thoe infamous Douutnin-Meadow massncre, the prime mover in which has just beon caught. A wife, accused of polsouing her lLusbaud, was the next criminal. The stercotyped heading “Crimo in Kentucky” mennt yoatorday ouly the wounding of ona negro aud the killing of oue whito man. The noxt para- graph mentioned tho arrost of s New York Cor- onor and three minor roughs for a murder com- mitted on eleotion-day. A jewelryrobbery broke the monotony of murder, but the fatal stabbing of two boys in Van Wert, O., and Chiengo, made the talo complete. This fs mot an oxcoptionsl record, wo aro sorry to say. For tho last fort- night tho daily ss of outrages has becn almoat incredibly large. T'hie causes of this outbreak of erimo lie on the durface, Lnrgo massos of men aro out of em- ploymont, and are driven by want to sin, We ean traco & largo part of this crime Lack to tho bigh tarift and the dobased ourronoy, whick have plunged us into commorclal trouble, checked production, and swelled the runks of the ‘unem- ployed. Auother goodly portion of it is due to tho receut outgrowth of slokly sontimon- tality by which the stern punishmont fustico metos out to orime has beon discaun- tousnced.

Thore can bo no profit to tho Ropublioan party In a distor- tion of plain truth, aud in this oxtract, whioh wo mnke from an editorial of yostorday's Jufer- Ocean, thoro ia such distortion : AR Gov, Daxtor hnd bocomo tho taol of the Demo- omtia loadors, hio undortook to carey out thefr plans regardless of oll constitutionnl pravisions or reatrice tlon, Iowdid ho procced? fo appointod thirly- threo Ropresontallves and fivo Senators to various local ofiices, assumod that na many vacancloa oxiatad, andordered o apecial clection to il such vacanclesl But in order to securo tho relurn of Damocrats to fil, nuch vacancios, o suporseded (o existing Boards of Teglatry througlout tho Stato by tho nppointment of ew Boards of Reglatry, ote, Wo have on filo oxtracts from tho Little Rock Republican and the Little Rook Gazelle, showing tho current of political events in Arknnsas, 88 thoy ocourred, in 1873, Those extracts woro mando by us at the timo, nud aro the beat of ro- liablo witnosses, Trom theso it appoars that at thoond of the rogulnr gesslon of tho Logisln- ture, in April, 1873, Gov. Daxter, boing thon in full accord with the politienl mojority of tho Legislaturo, appointed soveral Benators and Roprenentativen (a8 atated above) to various lo- cal ofices in his gift. Othors wero, upon the recommendation of Senatora Clayton and Dor- 8oy, appolnted to offices fu the gift of tho Fedoral Administration. The Loglslaturo of Arkanens is a bionnial body, and it was not nx- pected, when thoso appolutmonts (aud vacan- cies) acourred, that thore wonld be sy further employment for It during tho remainder of its torm. Tudeed, tho legislative power could only bo resumed upon call of the Governor, In No- vember, 1873, specinl olectlons wore held to fill nine vacancies in tho Sonate and forty in the House. ‘Those clections woro held under the then existing law, and with all tho oxisting forms, and by tho oxisting Boards of Rogistry. ‘hey wore required and held ns o legal formality, to cover possible contingencies, just ns spocial oloctions hiavo boon hetd in Iliinois to fill vacan- oles in our Legislnture, without conourront ex- puctation of service to be roquired. It would appear, furthermore, from our own momorands of Arkaneas politics, that, after their special cloction in Novembeor, 1873, no one was moro surprisod at tho reswlt than Gov. Baxtor himself. Tho Leglsiature of tho Pprocoding winter, to accomplish the election of Mr, Dorsoy to the United States Senmato, biad, by the co- oporation of Doruoy's friends and & Democratio minority, restored to ail thoir Tights of the ballot 'some 20,000 whito citizons of Arkangns, disfranchised under tho Powoll Clayton Constitu- tion of 1868, Tho Democrats, thus rolnforcedin voting strongth, carried tho special oloctions of November, 1873. What had becn a Republican Legislature, living, becamo a Domocratio Logis- laturo with dormant lifo. It at onco began to be remarked that this Democratio Logialature, if by any meand assombled, would scrutinize the election ruturns of 1872 and recoguize Brooks ug Governor rathor than Baxtor. Heroupon aroso & conflict betwoen Brooks and Baxtor, in which, a8 in tho etage-play, the combatants exchangod thoir politics instead of thoir ewords, In tho hoight of tho rumpus, whon tho President recom- mended ou agsembling of the Legislaturo, Gov. Baxter was still roluctant to call it; and, when the Logislature did assemble, it was coufronted with s most perplexing embarrassment. Horo woro the eleotion returns of 1872, notoriously manipulatod to elect Baxtor, and hero waa Brooks, whom the Demoorats elocted, & Ropub- lican! It was all a muddlo. The handiest way out of it seomed to bo to out clear of the past and begin anew. That is what tho people of Arkaneas havo done, and we sce no evidence of suy departure therein from the ressonable ro- quirements or forms of law. —— THE DESTRUCTION OF CAPITAL. We bave roceived frow Mr. William Hurly, of this 0Ty, o lotter arguing agaiust Prof, Price's theory that commercinl crises ara causod by the destruction of capital in uuproductive invest- menty and othorwise. The eossential portions of tho lettor aro the following Capital cannot be destroyed by ita usual unromuner- otive undertakinga, Unromunerative undertake ings may result in tho fnancial destruction of the underlokers, but tuo copltal usod fn thom s nmot “ destroyed,” us I look ot If, but ouly tranaferred from tho capitallst to tho laborer, (o the contructor, and to the munufacturer. If tho bands of thio road ave used ay capltal, und, aftor they aro put fo such use, it s fouud thoy are not negotiable or of auy value, tho reault thor: can only bo 1oss to tho hold- or, for 1t {s presumed that tho Iaboreraand contsactors of tho road bave their pay as they go along, and are thereby scoured from loss, may work ovil results and place tho fnancial dostiny of mauy at tho mercy of 5 fuw, Anlong as thero fun suiliclont volumo of currency in the country.t meot e duinands, I caunot seo how a crisfs con bo caused by any ottier moaus than Ly concentration or its flow to forelgn countrics, thereby causlng a lack of monoy within tho control of tho massocs of tho country, Wo will take our correspondent’s own illuatra- tion, using low figures for the sake of simphicity. If & man hos $1,000, and uses it to build a rajl- rond, ho can give a laborer 500 daye’ work at 2 & dny, At the end of that time, suppose the rond to boflnlshed. The laborer kas spent hig 1,000 for living oxponsos. The monoey is still intact, in somobody olse’s hands, but tho ©1,000 worlh of food, clothing, fuel, otc., used by tho omploye aro totally gone. Now they are as much capital s money,—n fact which our cor- respondent wholly overlooks, In order, then, that thore shall bo no loas of capital, it is abso- lutoly essontinl that tho part of the railrosd reprosonted by the snid investment should be worth §1,000. If it i not,—if tho stock or bonds soll for loss than thoy cost, if the earninge of tho road do not pay a fair intorest on tho capl- tal fuvestod,—thore has boen o loss of capital to the oxtent of such deficiensy and deprociation, Buppose the average rate i1 10 per cont aud that the rond paya 2. It represents, then, 8200, Thote ia a Josa of 800 capital. The balance- sheot stands thus: Onl];hll expeuded— o0 1,200 DIRETTITTITRTTIRIe 2y Lo, - " Binoe the umount of Inbor & country can em- ploy is limited by tho amount of capital it owng, and can unito with labor for roproduction, this transaction has at onco dimmnishod the supply of capital, and couseqnently the ability to omploy lubor, If, now, we imugiue this destruction of ocapltal on a grand eeslo, it 18 easy to ses why a crigls comos, Bupposo thousauds of mon buity up Chiougo, and thon it burng down, Buppose other thousauds lay milos of track, which lie uso- loas, In both casos, capital 14 sunk, dentroyed, Tho waut of ospital koops Lack wll h\nflum,l THE CHICAUU DAILY URIBUNE Concentration of capltal, R 19, 1874 Production, which always doperids on capital, slnokens and dwindles, Laborors aro discharged. "Tholr consumption is not made good by pro- duative Inbor, Tho stock of capital is, thore~ foro, Ul moro dimivishod. Men aro unablo to Dproduco wealth, as they bavo been domg, and thorefor unable to pay tholr dobta, A crisis i morely o state of gonoral inability to pay dobts.

Ono of tho best proofs that o crisis s causod by tho destruction of capital, or Its fuvostment in unremunorative pursuits, la tho fact that tho creation of eapital, or its anbe stituto, credit, in the best and in faot thu only way to put an ond to a criels, A nation maylive moro economically, and thoroforo savo up cap- ital, aud so flnally got back an nmount equal to that tho dostruction of which caused the panic. This {8 what we aro doing now. It s not a plesgaut pracoss, but it is suro in its offects. Or tho idlo eapital of a nation may be put iu circu- lation to supply tho place of that dostroyed. It is tho sottled practico of tho Bauk of England, durlug a panfo, to discount more frooly than at any other timo. It pours tho gold 1n ita vaults into tho channels from which provious capltal haa vanishod {nto nothingnesa, Mr. Hurly's iden, that a crisia‘ls oaused by con- contration of capital and by exportation of cur- roncy, is not well-founded. Concentration, upto certain limlta, is an ald to the creation of capi- tal, sinco it makes prodaction ou alarge scale poseiblo. If it ia carriod 8o far that tho ownors cannot, or do notcaro to, use all their capital, this is of course an ovil. Tven then, howavor, the part used productively mny oreato moro wenlth than the whole would if it wore sub- divided, If wo had tho world's currency, gold, wa could novor bave too small a volume of it, for tho law of domand and eupply would rulo, It wo really nocded more monoy, that is, if more could bo used here profitably, it wonld in- ovitably flow hore from Europe until tho demend was satisfled. A local shinplaster curronoy like ours Is like wator in o cistern, which can all bo drawn out. A gold curroncy fa like water in a clstorn which is councctod by pipes with a lake. Draw ns much as you will, tho ciatern is always full or in process of belng refilled. MMr. Hurly's two suggostions fail, A littlo more roflection will show bim that Prof. Price is right. FOREIGN CORPORATIONS IN ILLINOIS, Mr. Charles E. Starkwoathor, of Chlengo, by bhis will devised to the Now York Bible Hociety an undivided onc-sighth of all hisronl catate, tho samo to.pass into tho possession of that Socloty upon tho majority of his youngost child, Undor the burnt-record atatute, the heira of Btark- woathor filed & bill to eatablish thoir title to the roal estate, and the Bible Socloty wns made n de- fondant, The Baciety appearcd, made a olaim undor the will, and the Cireult Court of Cook County entored a pro yorma in favor of tho Biblo Socioty, The Supreme Court of Mlinois Lies now roversod this decres, and the grounds of tle decision may ba thus stated : Tho Amorican Bible Socioty is a corporation chartored by tho laws of tho State of Now York, and it Iy not copable of taling real estato by de- vito in the Sato of Iilinois. Lo enablo a foreign corporation to take real catate undor a devise, it must appear that it {s authorized to do 8o by the lawa of the Stato by whick 1t is created, and also by the laws of tho Stato whorein the ostate lies. Tho law of Now York doos not authorize tho Biblo Boclety to take land by dovige, and the laws of (ilinows do not authorize it. In n former cauo, Carrol vs. East S, Louis, the Court hold that & foreign corporation could not hold lands fn this State beyond what was reasonably necessary for the transaction of tho busiuces for which it was croated; that 8 corporation created in another Stato for the purposo of buying and solling lands could not come to thia Stato and pursue the business for which tho corporation wag crented, and that conveyances to it of lands in this Btato were void and failed to pusa title to the corporation, Thie decision is now reaflirmed, It wos claimed by the Bible Soclety that, if tho devise i void, the Court might carry out the in- tentions of the testator by directing tho sale of tho real estato and docroeing the paymont of the proceods to the Bociety, This the Court ruled to be wholly boyound the suthority of any court of oquity. The Legal News, commenting on this decision probibatiug foroign corporatious from acquiring real estato in Iliuois beyond what is necessary for tho transaction of its ordinary business, sug- gosts that it may raise the question whether forcign corporations loaning monoy in this Stato upou real estato securily can become purchasers of such real cstate ovon to seoure a debt duo them, It would bs intoreating to lmow exactly what smount of destitution bas been causod by the grosshoppers in Kausns, and what amount of ro- liof is nocessary for the sufforera, Coxtradictory statements are daily publisbed as to thoe rosl ox- tont of the impovorished distriets, Tho private apponls for uid are ju strange contrast to the stirring, munly proclamation of the Governor Bowe time ago that Kavses could take caro of her own poor, The oxtrs scssion of the Logisla- ture gave tho State time to frame mensuros for roliof, aad they were taken, A correspoudont of tho Kansas Central Land Journal says that out of seventy-flvo organized counties in tho Stato but twenty noed roliof. The kufferers are sit- uatod, according to bim, on tho northwestern frontior and intho southwestorn portions of the Btate, Including all tho shiftless and improvi- dent pooplo in the State, eays tho writer, there are not more than 1,500 sufferers, the authorized Btate roport glving the numbor ns 10,263, Tho population of Kansas {8 ostimated nt 450,000, which roducos the rate of destitution to 8!¢ per cent, whicl, after making a elight reduction for tho wholps and vagabonds who beg at nll times and stonl whon they can, the figures deny tha aweoping assertion that Kansas i famishing and roquires nssistauce. In sddition to this, the ‘writer says that & two-weeks' continuous rain through Central Kansas in Svptomber had atarted all vegotation to life and vigor, whilo the proapect ia good for a soason next yoar such as Kuyueas has nover soon, Theso aro the observa- tions of a specisl correspondent who has made it & busiuess to investigate the mattor, and is prob- ably rolinble.
