Dierco, John Qmpoy Adoms, Richard Olney, and W, E. Porking, Tho Commonwoalth " Club doos not need any other lndorscmont than whose namos. It will be obsorved that the por sons unitiug v this movement do not proposs to saver thoir party connoctions ; but to work in, througl, and with thelr respootive parties for roform In the adminfstration of rounicipal af- tairs. v An oshibition of ontorprisa by tha Chicago Times wbich is well worth noticing has beon mnde {n connection with tho indictment for osiminal libol recently, procured by Mr. N, K, Fairbank, The fact of the indiotmont has boon only romotely alfuded to in the columns of the Times; but it has beon given out, a8 from one of tho Powera of Darkness, that no person in- torested in the prosecution of Mr. Storoy shall o eafe from invective, insult, and slandor. In fulfiliment of this threat, Mr. Swett, Mr, Sidney 8mith, and Judge Trumbull, the counscl rotained by Mr, Fairbank, wero grossly ssssifed in Sun- dny moraitg's paper. Yesterday, State’s Attor- noy Reod was charged with doroliction of duty in tho McDouald cage, - More indecent than all wea on nbustvo attack, several days ago, upon Prof. Bwing, who happoned to ssy jocosely, ia conversation with Mr, Fairbsnk, that he would givo §100 towards moeting the oxpenses of the prosocution. Tho propriotor of the Times pro- tended to regres, whon the indictment waa flrut returned, tlist Mr. Fairbauk had'not demandod the satisfaction of o gentleman. The event shows that, if ho had domanded such satlstac~ tion, he would uever have got it from Mr. Storey, ——— Thomas Hood, tho Less, died in London yes- tordsy.

Now, lot them como from tho top down, aud bo quick sbout it. Otherwise, they will not reach tho most dangerous place in town—which is kept by MeDonald—until late in the winter. The President is understood to bo & man touscious of his opinions, It should eurpriso nobody, thercforo, to hoar thaf he is to-dny as decidedly in favor of sn oarly return fo specie- poymenta s he was during the last seasion of Congross. An unoquivoest doliverance on this subject will probably be made in tho sunual message. Tt is understood that Gen, Bauks, very fortu- notely for bimsolf perhaps, doosn't want tho Speakership of the next House. And, nceording to the Washington gossips, Fernando Wood's record on the ealary-grab bill bns hurt bim Irretriovably. Unsophisticated people will ses what a very bad thing the salary-prab most have been, slace it conld hurt Mr, Wood's raputation. — Two indictmonts of much consequence to the publio were roturnod by the Grand Jury yester- day. Ouc of them was agaiust MoDousld, who 18 cbarged with murdorous ssesult, sud tho other sgaivet Mr. W, F. Storoy, who ia chargod PFRILS OF THE FUTURE, _ Thoro aro those even among Topobiicans who overlook the important consoquences that may, aud surely will, result from tho possession of tho ssveral branzhes of “the Govarument by the Dowmocratic party. Excluding from view alio- gether all thought or suspicion of & renowal of tho atrugglo to dissolvo the Union, and assum~ ing that the poople at the South are now s de- voted to the Union as any othors of their coun-~ trymou, thara ara othor porils equally as alarm- ing and mors ensily made cortainties, and which oroall involved in tho restoratlon of the Domo- cratic paety to powar. We havo already pointed oub the revival of the old fundsmental iesue, whicther the United Btates covetitute a nation, ondowed with oll tho attributos of national sov- | ereignty, or whether it is o mora confedaration of novercign Btates, the General Government acting na the more agont and croature of its princlpals, tho soveral Btatos, On that quostion the Demoeratio party is now a8 undivided aa it was before the War, and insiets with as great to- nacity o8 over upon its old theorics of *State Righta". That doctrine cannot be abandoned by tho Democratio pasty without a disbaudmant of the party itselt, Nov, lot us nek what js the Demooratio party to do whon it obiains control of the Exerutive, Legislative, and Judicial bragches of the Govorns went? It will enter office upon the tundawmental principle that this is o confedoracy; that tho Goneral Government is the agont of tho *sov- oroiga Stales,” and that this dootrine, thongh ignored in the sdministration of the Government by the Ropublicaus, 18 now and Las always been the true doctrine; and, to make any chango in the adminiatration of affairs, this principle must o applied to all quostions presented to thom for action. At the very begmning of their adminis- tration they witl be met with a series of matters domsanding Iegielative sation which- bave beon rojected by tho Republicans, Among these are: "I'le refunding of the war-tax imposed on éotton, which, with interest, now amounts to $100,000,- 000, The payment to all persous living within the Confederate Statos of oll losses and damages snstained by thom during the War. Thisincludes Fairbavk, Tho jury which has dons this wark denorves equal credit with Judge Booth for foar- Tessncss, docislon, aud concarn for good morals. Mr. Bawen's sult for libol against Demas Barnes has termicated with tho acquittal of the defendant. The jury reported to the Court that In their judgment the mattors publihed in the Argus rolating to tho Jato Mrs. Bowen wore atro- cloue and cruel. However, it is not woll to wasto much sympathy on Dowen; and, indeed, ho doesn’t need it, since he finds his own rownrd m regenerating tho heathen and advertising North- eru Paciflo bonds. All the railroade in Tllinois have beon notified of tho law requiring them to provide s wood- man's ax, o sledge-bammer, a band-saw, and two leathern bucketa for oach passenger-car dis- patehed. Tho provision is n usoful ong, and it will be cheerfully complied with, we fool sure, by all the companies intarested, though some of them are in no condition to make lavish oxpend- itures 'for gledgo-hemmors snd old leathern buckets. Common peoplo thought that nothing in the way of & convontion would bo surprising aftor tho Bill-Btickers mot and fixed up their copsti- tution. But the Coffin-Makers' Convention, it must bo confessed, is oven more highly original and unique. After this, *pon horor, no morely human assemblago stiall disturb our soreni ty. Lot it bo tho Body-Snatohors, or the Wat-Nurscs, the Seavengers, tho Streot-Cloaners, or tha Baot-Blacks, we sliall 2ot down naught {n malice and tally ono for good-foollugs’ sako, ‘Lonis Blano has eau;rmlmmly“mm“‘ compeusation for lorses, mulos, caltle, ifouto to the Freuch pooplo, in which he outlines | graln of all Lkiuds, snd fonces; for what ho bolieves to bo & proper division of porticain the Assombly, Ho soes no hopo ;of o offective coalition betweeu the Orleanits and thio modorato Ropublicans, with tho Boptenato a8 & main articlo of agreoment, but advises the unlon of all tho Ropublican clements, Thoro iy sppropriatences in using tho word “ coslitlon » 28 defining tho junction of Orloanists and Re- publicans, Botwoon tbeso parties thore oan nover be a uvlon, SR —— Tha Chicago produce muorkets were rather alow yestorday, except in provisions, Moss pork was activo, and 76@800 per brl lowor, closing st $10.60@19.70 cash, and $10.80@19.85 sellor tho year, Laxd was active, aud 450 por 100 Ihe lower, closivg st $18.26 caub, and §12.80 soller tho yosr, Moats wore more active and & shado firower, at To for shoulders, 93{@9go for short ribs, and 10ifc for short cloars, Mighwinon wore quict and 3o lower, closing at 98}ge par gallon, Lake frelghts woro duil, Flour was quict and unchsoged, Wheat was quiet aud 3o highor, closing &t 600 aaller tho month, and fire-wood, cotton destroyed and’carriod off; for buildings ocoupied sud buildings destroyed or injured ; for dnmages resulting trom ail thews and otior fiets, wheraby thoso pooplo havo wuf- fored in poreon or proporty. It Is uot possible to cutimate tba amount of these olaima. The War wag actively proscouted lu Virginla during four yoars, and from that State alone thera will bo claims enough to amount with interest to two buudred 1willions of dollurs, In the Ootton Btatey tho losses wora greater, and Loulsians, Alsbams, Georgta, and Misslsslppl can furaish wsuthenticated claims for fivo to tou hundred willions of dollars.

It s claimed that the Ropub- lican party, whilo adminiateriog the National Government, unconstitutionally sud arbigrarliy passed cortain mets by which cortain Stato Govornments wero forcod upon those Statos; that theso fraudulont Btate Goverumenta have contracted debis to enormous amonnts withont. tho cousent of tho pooplo; that these alleged usurpations were, in fact, usurpations. by tho General Government, and those debta woro con- tracted by tho National Government, and not by tho Btates, and should be psid by the Gen- oral Govornmont, Each of those States, moro- over, during the War, contracted large dobta for the protection of its pooplo from the unlawfu! invasion by thio United Btates, aud paymont of theso dobts hes boen prohibited by the Ropub- licans, under their usurped suthority to dictate to sovorefgn Statosj tho Ropnblicans having deprived tho States of tho meaus .with which to poy these (Rebol War) debts, the debta thom- golvas bacome & proper chargo upon the Unfted States, nccording to the Democratio theory of the righta of tho Statos. B, All theso claims and domands aro founded upon the solo distinguishing principla of the Democratic party, that tho States are soveroign- tios, and tho General Governmont no more than thelr appointed agont, soling under limited writton powers delogated to it by the States. Trom the paymont of alk theso olaims thero is no escape, 1f the Domocratic theory of the Govern- ment bo correot; and thelr valldity eannot be Justly disputed or denied excopt upon the funda- menta} principle, hold by the Ropublicaus, that tho Unitod Btates aro s nation with sll the juher- ent attributes of sovorolgnty, fres of any ro- sponsinility or dopendence upon the Btates in any form or manuner. ‘Wo know that some poraons in the Republican party, and conspicuously BSonator Howe, of Wiscongin, havs sought to break down the legal and politio barriors by which all theao claims have boen exeluded, ‘and have urged the pay- ‘ment of damagos for private losses in the Robel Btates in particular cases, upon the ground that a groat and powerful Government can aftord to act liberally to a poople that puffercd sud lost #0 much in a robellion when thoy bo-- Ueved they wore right. We kuow also that the payment of thoso claims, smountiug in all to per~ bups several thousauds of miltions of dollars, will bo sought indircotly, cspecially by enlarge- ment of the jurisdiction and powers of the Court of Olaims, Tho powars of that Court have already beon enlargod oxtonaively. It fa o easy ta vote to pay a judgmont for a claim that Con- grasa wonld not dare to voto directly. - But without going into detail on thia point, we contond that wo hnve suflioiontly shown that thoraturn of tho Domocratio party to tha con- trol of the Governmont will necessarily involve thio pecuniary recoguition of the Rebellion, and the completo compoosation of tho people of theso States for all thoir Jossos and damages’ caudod by tho Unlon armies; the sssumption of the Rebol ftato dobts, and such s goneral ac; cumulation of dobt as will double tho tazes and .| mortgage the United Btates for tho noxt two cen- turiea, At a meotiug of the Prosidont’s Cablnot yes- forday, it was sgreed that the Gavarnment had no information which would justify lnterferonce in Arkansss affairs.

Boforo dismissing thiasnbjoct altogether, wo wish to re- vive some cjroumatances in connection with Bmith'a yocent conduct which of themseives fully jusiity the declsion’ of the President ad- vorso to his appeal. Bmith has & romarkable record. Ho was s can- didato on the Baxier ticket, in 1873, for Lieuton- aut-Governor; Brooks, who was the Demooratio- Gricloy candldate, was protiably elocted, as is uow olained by the Republicaus ; but the Legis~ luture, which by tho Conatitntion of that State 1 tho oxoluslve authority to casnvass the returns for Govornor, counted Baxter tn as Governor and Bmith as Lioutennnt-Governor. In 1874, Drooks had becomo & Republican, and Baxier wag suspected of having liberalized. Drooks at- toropted & rovalution, but the President sus. tained Baxter, requiring him to' summon the Loglslature to dotormine who was Governor. The Logisiature convoued, and Bmith pro- eided in the . Bemato during the whole mevslon, That Loglslaturo passed the law calling & Biate Convention to wmake o new Constitution.

The Qonatitu. tion beipg adopted, the old Btate Government gava place to & new one, After il thess pyo- coodings, Hmith now turns up denying that tho Leyistature over which ho presidod was a logal bady ; that tho Convention in which be sorved was o legal body ; that the Constitution which lie hielpod to framo, sud which wad adopted by tho peoplo, wau a valid dooument j and that the Government plocted under lhat Constitution was » logal Governmentj and thorefore Lo olalms toat, Baxter havivg setired from ofue, he; | Bmith, Ia tho Governor of Askensaa!

The law-officors of the city are constaotly consending ngainst the roadiness of juries made up of ‘non- tax-payers and bummers to Sooco the tax-payers. The sympathy of the sversge juryman Epon: tancously ranges itaclf on tho side of any indl- wvidual who socks to get money out of the city.

Thors i8 never any dangor that individoal {ntercats will suffer from an intel- ligont jury of tax-payers; bhero is alwsys danger that the city will suffer from an unintelligent jury of non-tax-payers and pereons of Commun~ istio sympathiea, 5 THE WEST AND SOUTH, The Richmond (Va.)

Tho Ropublican party gainad a substantial victory {n- New York notwithatanding the fact :tbat their candidate for Govornor was. dofested. . We rofer to tha adoption by a* Jarge majority of all the constitutional smondmonta submitted to thepoople at the last election. Tha ides of Cone Btitutional Roform {n New York orjginated with tho Republican pacty, who Rave It & roal exlst- ence and formulated it in ao futelligent a manner tht the Demoarits found (¢ Impoaaibla to defeat the proposcd amondmonts, The Demoorsta did ‘niok fail in thia for Inok of tryng. Thoy eaused tholr tickets to bo printed with nine of the twetva amendmonts canceled, Tammany Hall madea speclal fight againat two or three of them, eepo- cially that pronibiting tho voting away of the poople's money in subsidies to sectarian {nstitu. tiong, The Democratio -politicians wers really opposed to the epirit of the reform throughout, ‘but did not dare to opposs the smendments en wmasee. Thoy hoped, however, by s system of canceling dilferont amendments on different sete of tiokets to dofeat them all. Thelr ‘fulluro may be regarded, thereforo, as & Republican victory, oud the poople of New York are to bo congrat~ ulated on the very great improvements they hava secured In their Conatitation, Thero wora twolve amondments submitted, which provided, fn goneral term, for the redis- tricting of the State; probibiting private sud upocial logislation ; roforming the canal systom ; proéeribiog an oath of offico; providing penal. tios for. official briberies ; inoressing: the torms and sslarioa of Governor and Lisutenant-Goy-~ ernar ; Jimiting local indebtedness ; prohibiting subsidies to ecclesisstical aorporations and Btate appropriations for private charitios ; fixiog sala’ ries for Btato offcials, and appolnting ths timo when thess amendmonta should take effect, All of theso armendmants are of grest importance to the people of New York, butsome of them are of moroly focal aignificance. Those which would apply everywhore rolate to the safognards pro- vided against legislative jobs, eleotaral carrap- tion, the diversion of publis moneys for private and soctarian benefit, and the liitation of mu- nicipal indobleduness. Every ofilois] who enters upon his antios atter the frat of the year will bo required to subscribe to the following oath of offico: And X do further solemnly swear (or aflifm) that X Bave not directly or indiroctly paid, offered, or prom- ised to pay, contributed or promised to contribute, any money or other valuable thing”as & roward for tha giving or withholdinga vote at the eloction st wlich I wua elected t0 sald oflico, and nayo not madp sny prom- 180 to influenco the giving or withholding of apy such vote. ‘Chls, of ftaclf, will do much’ to stop the flood af corruption at the’ polls, perhaps moro tlian the most thorough and stringent election laws. Every candidato for office henceforth will know 4hat ha will bo called upon to make oath that ho has in no sonse purchased his offics nor bribed any ono to vote for Lim. That oath will be a- standing anawer to the. cormorants that abound for wooks and months bofore elections and in- fest cancuses and nominating conventions, The mnh will bo desporate, indoed, who will deliber- sfoly rink the loss of an office and conviction for porjury in order to scoure an sloction by the purchago of votos. ,Tho purchaso of afice in New York under Demoacratio rala was as com- mon’ and mattor-of-fact & transachion na tho purchase of damaged goods b muction. Tho man who goos into this sort of business " hercatter will do so at his porll, Tho diversion of tho people's money to private'corporations has also been out off by the adoption of the mew amendments, Tho New York Loglslatute has slwaya oftared # rich mine to lobbylats and jobbers. Nearly every Legiala- tard Lias pagsed what s ealiod & *Charizy bill,” giving immonse sumy of publio money to inati- tutions manngod by ptivato Individuals and gen- arally for private profit. The Legislaturo of 1860 voted away $53,608in this woy., In 1871 the donations amounted to §1,040,545. Theso ap- propriations were scoursd in the most scandalons mannor, There was & rogufar aystom of log- rolling and trading, in whiol the lobbylsta and corruptioniats of the difforont localities would combine in grabbing everything that wsa pro- posed. Tho Obarity bill, therefore, was a sort of omnibus massure which gave freely to all whio asked. Tuia practice has now baen abollshad, along with all ather corrupt, graaping, private logislation, and tho Now York Assombly of tho futuro will be constrained to devoto their time to the logititate functiona of general law-msking for tho bonofit of the Whote peoplo, One of tho most fmportant of the conatitu tfonal smendments adoptod In New York is that which empowors the Loglalature to eoll, lease, or sbandon the latoral canals which, for yoars, huve wbsorbed the carnfugs .of Erie, The West, no Tous than New York, hiag an notive interest in the aotion which the New York Legislature will take in this regard ; and we are {nelinod ta think that the dlversion of tho Wostorn trafiio to Phitadel- phia, Boston, snd Baltimore, will Induce the Btuto to tako advautago of this amendment, snd thorevy enable it to roduce the tolls ‘on Erla, thorm in repair has boen the excuse for maln- L alufug the exorbitsnt tolla fn the past i their abandonment will enable New York to compete for tho Westorn trade with the rivals that are Apringing up on all mdow, It ls pleasant toramembor that all the genuine conatitutional reform of tho Jast fow yosrs may be traced directly to tho Influonoo of the Conatis tution of Nlinols adopted in 1870, whioh haa aorvod 84 & modol forall tho othors. That fne atrument ombodien In a oloar, concise, and In- tolligant shape the fundamontal principlos whioh have vean sfuco adopted in Panuaylvanis and la embiaced in thoso amondmenta adoptoed. in Now York. Tta srtlclos'on the subjoata of private snd spooial leglslntion, offiolal bribery, probibition of sootarisn subsidics, and the limitation of munic- ipal Indoltedness, havo sorved 88 modals. in every subsoquont effort st consfitational reform elsewhore that has boon muocossful. In the ossp of Oliio, & conveniion of solfsh lawyors ignored thealearnosn and elmplicity of theso models, con- fusod their roal purposo in a mass of varblogo, and | disrogasded the sotusl noods of tha poople.

BEDUCTION OF EXPENDITURRES, A year ago, shortly after tha panic, whoa thore was sn oxpectation of a largaly-reduced rove- nue, Mr. Dawes, In bis place in Congress, Isid down tha corract rule to govern in sich & con- tingenoy, There wora threo modes offered : 1, to borrow money ; 2, to inoreaso taxes; and 3, ta reduso exponditures. Tho frt two he held to be disgracotul to sny country ‘at posce, and tho third was the only honorable mothod open to ' Government that was honoat or reapected the vational cbaracter. To borrow money or £o ine +ereaso taxea to meot the current exponditures of the Governmont would bo alike 1njurious to tho publicaredit. Tuo othor niode of reducing ox- pensos was the only ono consistant with national titogrity sud sound polioy. The ‘appropris- tions for the year endiog Juno 80, 1875, mode st the ‘last sosslon, though less 'by 17,000,000 than thoss -of 18784, wore 'still largoly in exceas of those of 1872-8. It is inatsted now by the heads of Bureats ab Wash- ington that an increase of $20,000,000 of reve- Inue from dutles on imports will ba nocossary in ‘ondes to keep up the: exponses of. the Govorn- ‘ment to tho rogulation stindard, and they pro- posa to ask Congress to smend the tarift by sdd- ing incronsed rates to produce that sum. One; of theso subordinates inaists that Congress, in- stead of appropriating .epecific amounts for &’ atated number ot ‘sach class of clorks in oach Bureau, shall appropristo &- round eum, to be oxponded af the' didciotion ‘of the chisf. Each at theso officers would then be an indopendont’ soveroign, wielding s patronage ‘st the expense of the public wholly frea of.sfl responsibility.” "Phit is the’ Buroau ides of Governmeut and the Bareau idea of tazation. | Congress at its nextsossion will have to make the appropriotions for tho Government for tho year onding Juno 80, 1876 and the responsi- bility will rest upon it of dociding whether the country must bo additionally taxoa or the expond- itares reduced. It is.ncarly ten years since the War closod, and it 18 time to reators the Govorn- ment expanditures to the pesce’ standard. ‘Any mau who proposod to inoreass taxos in order to support & systom of extravagaat oxpendiures is not to bo trusted as atos) A ourious conspiracy sgainst an old man has been' made public in » decisionof the Iilinois Buprome Court in the case of Eck vs, Eck.
