The questious of Stato sovereignty, of tho Tussday Morning, November 24, 1874. Incomplote returns from tha French munictpal elections indicate a goneral victory for tho Ro- publicans. Fuller information is necossory toan intethgont statemount of the resulta, Indictmonta have been roturnod ngainst the tieopess of twelvo gambling-houses, inclading the notorioua MeDonnld. If tho polico will sec- oud tho offorts of tho courts, tho city will soon bo rid of tho gamblors, ‘The procoedings of tho Board of Trado yes~ lorday in tho Sturges case reflect very litllo wredit on any of the porsons principally con- terned. The speakers wore for the most part violent and ili-informed, while the suditors xoro untractablo and foolish. Ex-Senator Pomeroy is likely to cucaps prqse- sution altogether in consaquonce of tho rofusal s 8hawneo County tax-payers to bear the ex- penscs of his trinl, The Senator is charged with brivery. Tho evidonce npainet him is strong, and it seoms a8 if his acquittal could bo com- passcd only by o resort to mubtorfuges and evaeions, The Common Council lnst night reconsidered tho vote by which the Union Park addition ordi- vanco was lost, and recommittod the wholo question, Thero scoms to be a disposition on tho part of some Aldermen who voted for this iniquitous measuro to glorify their record, and {0 rojoice tiat the newspapers have not called thom thioves and proved them so. Wao believe Ihat the ).;3\vnpapera will do umple justice by all tho roguah if tho Union Park ewindlo is finally sonsummated, Somo interost attaches to the caso of Fathor Roussolat, & Catholic priest iu Moutreal, who a8 declared his intention to go to jail rather han bury in conseerated grounds one of his parishioners who bad been placed under the ban, Tho British Privy Council bas ordered the burial, and the disobedience of tho priest may open the way for a vigorous exorcise of disciplive. But 11l parties should be satisfied with the burial of the recusant in consocrated grounds by a Prot- estaut clergyman, The Popo has written @ letter thanking Car- Iinal Cullen—who, it will bo remembored, de- osounced * The Talisman " because it was writton by un Irishman aud had roligious musie i it— boeauso ho has condemned the address delivered by Prof. Tyndall at Belfast. Not coutent with Cullen's sbuse of tho unfortunate vietim, the Popo himself takes a and in, and calls hima “*spiritual pirate, despoiling the souls of mon." The good old goutloman of the Vatican ought not to got out of temper in this mannor, as it will probably bo very casy for Tyndall to demon~ strato in his next Jocturo that the Popo, despito his infallibility, is a purely material institution, aud that, being matter, what ho says ig no malter, T'he resigontion of Mr. A, B. Mullett, Buper- vising Architect of tho Tremsury, bas boen formally mede and accopted. Wodo not heeitato ta say that Mr. Mullett can easily sorvo his coun- try in o privato station bettor than in the offico which lio hae vaeatod. Thoroare many groundsof complaing agninst Mullott, o is not a superior architeet. Hig notions of art are, crudo and fanciful. His influonce upon tho srchitoctural types of tho country, though it has heen limited, has been, wo far as it weat, per- vicious, Tho intonse concoit aud ogotiam of tl:o man have conccaled from him o knowledge of his incapacity, ¥o has boen bumptious, arrogant, and impertinont to him superiora {u oflico ; rude, sovers, and stbitrary with his {n- feriors, Ho attemptod to deal with Socrotary Briataw as he had with other headaof (he Trens- ury Dopartment, and Lo was beaten, The charges ogainst Mr, Mullott's integrity have naver beon established.

It was to opposo it that that the North, or rathor tha nn- tion, sncrificed its bost blood and {ncurrod its enormous uationnl debt. If the Democratic doctring of Btato rigbts, as intorproted by tho Bouth and the Domoeratic party nrevious to the War, bo tho csrrect explanation of the Constiti~ tion of the United States, then tho pigantio sac- riflces made by tho people to preserve tho intog- rity of the Union shiould not have beon made at all, ond it was o most grave mistake to Lave made them. Viewoed from tho Democratio and the Tepublican standpomts respectively, tho War, the omancipation of ihe slaves, sud our national dobt, appear in an altogether differont light. Granting all tho Democrazio principles previous to 1801, the War should never have been waged; tha slaves mnever bava been freed ; aud tho nationa! debt should never lave been incurred. There is no qyidenco tuat tho Domocratio * party has changed its principles of constitutional intorpre- tation, and, thereforo, though it must look upon the War as .o fait accompli, what is thero to assuro us that it would not, could it ro- gain power, repudiate the national dobt aud indemnify tho Southorn slaveholders for thelr lossos consequent on emancipation? If not falao to their principles, thay cortatuly would do all this. Bouthern Democrats would certainly domand it; and would not Northern Demoorats yield to the domand rather than submit to a di- vision in the party sud the consequenc loss of power? Tho question fs well worth pondering. The Democratic party not having rejocted its old principlos, and theso principles baving lod tho nation to the brink of destruction on one oc- casion, what ssaurance havo wo that thoy may not lead it thers agalu? To write ina daily } moro and moro a oentralizing natlonj and wo bavo not beon hurt byit. Tho last step wo took In that direotion presorvad ub as nation aud {nsured our existonco sa s pooplo in tho fu- ture. Tho restoration to -powor of tho Dom- ooratlo party would bo to endanger tho very ox- istouco of tho Unlon, This would bo the romoter Aangor. Itsimmodiate offeot on thocountrywould bo aconomica’ly moat disastrous. It would unsot~ tlo tho minda of business mon, and paralyze fu- Quatry; for who kuows what Demncratio Gov- ornment might do? Ite advent to power, con- sidoring this fact, would bo as distrossing on bus- Inoss ns o fluancisl paufc. The probability of its obtaining powor we consider smoll, Tho possi~ bility, howevor, is thore. Tho ouly way to pro- vont it suroly Ia for tho Ropublican party to put forward its best offorts and best men, aund to nd- vocate its bost mensuros, This dono, our bus- inosa proapority, aud tho blessings purchased so donrly during four yosrs of war, will Us assured to us. MINORITY REPRESENTATION, Thoro aro a number of Ropublican newapa- pora iu this Biato which find fault with tlo sys- tera of minority roprosoutation Locauso soveral diatricts tho Ropublicans bavo lost mem- bers that thoy othorwiso might hayo elooted. ‘Tha Sycamore Republican complans bittorly that of tho threo mombors oleoted in tuat district (DoKalb, Kondall, and Grundy Couutics), tWo havo been selected from Grundy and ouo from Kondall, whilo DoXalb, tho muoh larger couaty, has nono. Tho samo reault happoned &t tho clection in 1872, (n 1874 tho Opposition oleot twoof tho three membors, though tho district gavo over 1,000 Republican mnjority, In the Kano snd DuPago District, the smaller county olects two Roprosentativos, and the distriot elects two Domocrats, though tho district gives 1,500 Republicsn mujonity. ‘ o0 both theao cagea, tho losa is diie not to any unfalrness or injustico of tho systom, button dishonest attempt on the part of the msjority to disfranchise tho miuority in epite of tho ays- {om, Thus in the Thirtesnth (Dokalb, Kendall, end Grundy) Distriet, the Ropublicans, not con- tont with the two mombors they were outitled to under tho minority syatom, grabbed at all throe, They nominated oue candidate in each county. The Oppoeition, taking ndvantage of this blundor of tho Republicans, nominnted ouo candidato from Kondall snd oue from Gruady. ‘fley con- contrated their votos oqually botweon thgso two . and clected thom. It so happened that tho third member was clocted from Grundy. Had tho Re- publicans of that distriet actud fn good faith, shoy would have olected two Ttopublicans, and Dalialb would have had & momber, Thoe loss of the member in that dlstrict waa due, fhereforo, to the attempt to preveut the minority having sny Ropresoatative at all; and, hiko all similarat~ tompta atn denial of rights to others, results in giviog tbe intended victim more than ko claimed. in tho fifty-ono Ropresontativo Districts of tho Btato thoro wore but soven departures from tho rosult coutomptated by the sysiom of minority representation. In the Thivd District the Opno- sition oloct three Representutives, besause tho Ropublicans falled to cumulato all thelr votos on their candidato. ‘'We have oxplained alrcady tho faots in tho Dekalb District. In the Fourtoenth (Kune and DuPago) tho Ropublicans wasted somo 4,000 votea on independent candidatos, giving tho Opposition and DuPage County 1wo mem- vors, Inthe Twonty-seventh Distric (Logan and Tazowolt) the Opposition hnd & slight ma- jerity, but they wuro not aware of their strength,. aud kad but ono candidate, and the Ropublicaus was had 1n theTsenty-cighth District (MoLean), whexe tho Opposition, though unexpectedly i a majority, bad but ono candidate. In tho Thirti- eth District (Chawpaign and Piatt) the Opposi- tion bad & majority of 400 on the popular vote. Thoy, however, kod two Domocrats and two Indopendents runslug for Represonta~ tives, and the result wns tho olection of two Ropublicaus and one Iudependent, In tho Thirty-third District (Camberland, Efiingham, and Bholby) tho Republicans hud less than one- fourth af tho wholo voto, and the Opposition 1aight have elocted thrae membera, but they bad four candidntos, nnd lost a mowborin conso- quenca. Tha cages whero tho minority systom failed to roturn Represoutatives oxactly as it was intouded to do arofow in number, sud tho failures aro Dot due to tho syatom, but to the mistakes of the msjority in some cases snd of the minority in others. Now let theso Ropublicaus who com- plein of the minority system compare the total of the membors elected with tho results which would have followed the election under the old plsn. We havo compiled & tablo showing tho general voto in cach district with tho polities of those clocted, fucluding all the Indepoudents smong the Opposition, That tablo is aa fol- lows: [VOrE 137, FLUGTED, {{OLD PLAN, Teep, Ovm journal of Stato sovoreiguty at thls timo of the duy may seom liko composing & lugubrious ghost story to frighton ohildron, Wo thought the question was doad and burled.

Tho roads will not build elovators, bocause the slorago and dis- “tributiug bosts will take their place, and bo- cawwo the stonmships which carry the bulk of tho grain shipped to Liverpool will not go to tho eclovatora to load, but will lusist ou tho continuance of tho systom of loading by lighters.

It hos, however, an application nearor Lowe, aud ono which is worth considoring, As Archbishop Manulng, of Protestant Eugland, proasos tho Papal claim to political power with authority to act in the promiscs, and pre«ses it in tho most aggressivo and unqualified munnor, the Catliolics of this country cau bardly remaln noutral on -this question, nod it bocomos in- storesting to kuow how they sre going to standin this important mattor, First, @hat doos Archbishop Manning do- mand? Wo quote from the summary of his diseourse boforo the oman Catholic Acadomis, 28 printod In tho London Times : ‘Commenting upon the proposad system of interna~ tional arbitration, discussed ot tho recent Conference st Geuova, hio sajd there could bo but one authorized arbitrator between tho nations of the earth, and that ono ws tho ono who waa not Interosted fn the tempo- ral affuirs of ono nation mora than another, but was fmpartlal toall, and that was the Soverelyn Pontiff Bhngolf.

If, on the other hand, they minoad matters, antapoke in half-fearful mossures, Drotestants would only turn away from them for their \want of lionesty, Tuis decloration is unmistakablo in its mean- ing and clear av the sunlight in its purpose.
