Es-Supervising-Architeot Mullett, before his retivement to the tranquillity of private Lif, prepared a report on the condition of tho public buildings now in process of crec- tion. A very generous ahstract of this docu- ment is sent by the Associated Press. We agree with M. Mullett that the Eight-Hour law is unjust ond oppressive, and that it onght to Lo repenled, Beforo pmting from him forever, it is plecsant to have one alianea of agrecing with Mullett. Gov, Kemp. messago to the Virginia Legisleturo contains this admirable sentence: - *Tho politieal equality of the races ie soliled, ond their social ecquality s o sottled impossibility.,” We ngree very heatily with {his sentiment; ond in the main with that pact of the messago which ex. presses i hopa for tho amendment or vepeal of the Enforecment acts.

RO Glendenuing, whom s dying girl charged with having accomplished her ruin, has been acquitted by his Presbytery on all the counts of tho indictment brought ageinst him., The aninisters must, of course, take cognizance of offenses like this; but they cannot expect the public to place mmeh confidence 1n their verdicts. Neither previous training nar contact with rsukind has fitted them to act es judges, jurors, or counsel; and when they attempt to be all three togother, as they do in ecclesiastical tvials, it is ton chanccs to one that they make a parady of justice, 'The Prohibition party of Now Flampshire, represented in convention yesterday, meda nominations for the Btato and Congressional oftices {o bo filled at the clections nextMarch, A platform was adopted, ove resolution of which urged upon the fiiends of prohibition entirs independence of the old party orgeui- ntions, The wisdom of this policy is mani- foost.

THE WISCONSIN RAILWAY DEQISION. fhe opinion of Chief-Justice Ryan, of ‘Wisconsin, in the railway injunction suits, delivered at Madison, Sepi. 15, has been pub- lished at Inst. Itis n voluminous opinion, much more 5o thau judicial opinions usually ave. It covers fifty pages of olosely-printed matter, large octave, Why it id not appear ‘hefore is & matter of surprise to us; for cor- tainly no opinion has ever cmannted from the Supreme Bench of sny Stato in the Union moro important than this, or more far-reach. ing in its effects'on the rights and privileges of corporations, and of individunls in so far 08 thoy are members, stockholders, croditors of, or in any way interested in, corporations, It wos the fivst time that the Supreme Cowrt of Wisconsin was called upon o assort orig- inal jurisdiction of injunction suits, and the length of the opinion is sccounted for by the fact that it discusses the question of its Juris. diction to entertain such causes, as well e soveral other gide issues. The port of the decision in which the public rre most inter. ested does nob cover moro then threo or four peges. Theso contain the gist of the whole controversy, ‘To these, therefore, wa shall confine onr remarks, Chap, 273 of the Laws of Wisconsin for 1874 divided nll the railvoads of the State of Wisconsin into elasses, and fixed the passen. ger ratea and freight rates for each class of roads,—the rates affcoting differont classes of roads differently, At thoe time that the law above referred to was passed, there was not o little excitement in tho State of Wisconsin against rnailrondcorporations. 'The Governor a8 like many of those who east their votes for him, a participator in the feeling agninst tho ronds. ‘Fhat thero was some ground for {his fecling cannot be deniod. That tho Leg- islature of Wisconsin had the right to provide o remedy for the evila which produced the dissntistaction of the farmers with the roads is undoubted, It is to ba lumeuted, how- aver, that the Legislaturo and the Governor @id not proceed more like business-men then partisans to tho remedying of the ovils & por- tion of the people were complaining of. Equally to be regretted iait that, while the question of {he constitutionality of the law wis pending in a Federal Court, Gov. Taylor should have shown himself axtromely anxious that the case shonld be decided rather in ac- cordanes with his feelings than with the law of the land ; and thet ho should have so fuv forgotten tha dignity Dbecoming his high oftica ns Chief Exccutive of n great Stato #3 to cause a hundred guns to bo flved when the decision of the Unlted Stules Court was given, as an evidence of bis Joy that the railronds were hesten, Iad the Governor been more impartisl, ho would have been niove wiso. Last, but not least, is it to hore gretted that tho present Chicf Justice wns appoiuted by Gov. 'Faylor to the vacancy oreated by the resignation of Ohief-Justice Dixon ot & time when tho railroad excite. ment was at fever heat, and when Gov, Tay. lor knew that the railrord question must be brought boforo the Courts of the State. Wo “{lo not reflect on tho honesty or integrity of Governor or Chief Justics, We only say that tho eircumstances just mentioned aro uufor- tunate enes for both, "The railroads of Wisconsin opposed thelaw dixing the freight and passenger rates on the ground, awong others, that the ratoyfixed were 5o low that, weve they to abide by thew, they would be compelled to oporate tho ronds at a 1o, and would not be able to pay the inter- st on thelr bonded debt, ITu favor of the Inw 4t wis argued that the tate of Wiscone 8in wan supreme, and undor ita Constitution hed the power absolutely to ropeal or to mod- ity the ohartor of nll corporations cronted by it, whother such modifiention or altovation neeessitaled the oporation of the ronds ot a loss to tha companies or not, nud whother it impaired thelr abllity to meot thair bonded indebteduess or did not fmpalr it, How this point should bo docidod was o matter of pub- lio intorest, 'Che provislon of the Wisconsin Coustitution undor which {his power of lits aud death over corpovations s clafmed for the Btate ropds am fol- lows: AN goneral laws aud speclal acts (oreating corporations) may bo altored or res poaled by tho Leglsloture at any time aftor thelr passage,” Chiof-Justico Ryan, in his opinfon, reems to go tho wholo length of say- {ug that sio long ns the materinl proporty of tho railvonds nra not meddled with tho State may do what it plenses with thoe franchise, impose what vates it will, whether ox not #uoh rates diminish the jncome of the cor- vorations, deprive the companies of the ability to pny their creditors, or compel thow to encvonck on thele enpital in o der to contlnme the operations of ihe roads, IL wonld thus scem that in Wiskconsin it is tho lnw to.dny that ailway companios may bo compellod to opor- ato their vonds and cmry passengers nnd Treight ab any vates fixed by tho Legislaturo, no mettor how low, and whother they amount to o ropoal of the franchise or not. And what {s true of wilway companies is true of nll corporations in that Btate, In. surance companios may bo compelled to {soue policies at one-half their present rates, and nauutactnring companies to soll their pro- duats at ono-fonrth the cost of production, We do not beljove that this is good law. It is not justice. It{snot common sense, It is not publio polioy. It, therafore, camot be goodlaw. We grant that the State of Wis. consin lins the power to ropenl or muend the charter of any corporation crepted by it. ‘We graut, tao, that, in terms, that powor is absolute, But no conrt should Lold it to bo nbsolute, Not avbitrarily, but for gond cause shown, cnn tho State nlter or amend tho char- torof a corporntion, Tho franchiso of n corporntion may ba repealed, but only be- eanse tho paramount good of the people of the State demands it, or as o penalty inflicted on the corporntion. 'These limitations are unot expressed in tho Constitution of Wiscon- win, but public policy, tho spirit of the Con- stitution, nnd the highest principles of lusw, equity, and justica will supply them. And 80, for lile rensons, a charter way not be modified in such n manner na to entail the loss of vested rights, or tho loss of a dollar once earned and owned, 'Uho charter of n corporution is n contret with the State. Tt is n contact oven in Wis- consin, 8o Chiof-Justice Ryan admits, As o contract, therefore, it should be interpreted by the legal rules for the interprotation of contracty, the object of which rnles is to ascertain the mutual understanding of the pavties to them, What was the mutual un- derstanding of the parties to the contract here? Did the railvoad compnanies, when they petitioned for and nccepted their char- ters, understand that, orbitrarily, for ne good remson, the State might cume in and deprive them of thelr fran- chigo by repeal, or modify it 5o as to compel | tho operation of the ronds at n positive loss? It is nbswrd to think go. Did not the iudi- vidunl corporators suppose, vather, that when they beeame members of the corporation they did not censo to have all the priviloges nnd rights of individunls wurffior the Constitution of Wisconsin; to obtnin justico *conformn- bly to the laws,” and to the protection of their property agninst covert ns well as overt conflscation ? The personal rights of indi- dividual members of corporations aro the same g3 thoso members of no corporation; and the State hes no power over thoe life, lib- erty, or property of an individual beeauso Lo is & mombor of a corporation which it has not over him in his own individual capaeity. Thero are parts of Chief-Justico Ryan's opin- ion searcely ng explioit as wo could wish ; but of the bearing of the wholo thero can be no doubt, Wo do not think that the Supreme Court of the United States will ever tako the enme view of theso cases as the Suprome Court of Wisconsin, The Potter law, Lhow- ever, will be repealed or modificd before that tribunal reaches the cases. It is a misfor- tune that Chief-Justice Rynn's opinion cau. not bo repealed with the Potter law, Tho opinfon will stand, meintaining the absolute and arbitrary power of the Stato over oll the franchisea until tho Constitution of the State alters tho provision of which it is tho Interpretation. The opinion itself is n ginut blow at the credit and property of Wis- consin, Corporations are & great power in the devolopment of a State; but who cares to iuvest his Aavings in the stock of a corporation which may at any time be de- prived of its franchises, and with its fran. chises of tho por valuo of his “material prop. erty "2 —— TWEED'S LELEASE, Concerning tho application for o writ of labeas corpus in the case of *the statesman® William M. Tweed, there are two viows. The one is a pretest; the other a renlity, The protext is n legal one. The ground assumed i3 that his legel punishmont for the crime of misdemornor has been expinted,—that is, that Le could be sentenced only once for each in- dictment, and that the omuibus indictment, which included all the previous indietments in one, covered only one offense, to be pun- ished by a singlo term of imprisonmont. The cffect of the writ of Zadeas corpus will be to bring his ssntence up for voview in o higher court, This ia the legal view of the case. The renl menning, however, of the applidation for this writ is, that tho Democrats want their Domocratic leader back again, With s Democratio Governor in Albany and Tam- many triumphant in Now York Oity again, it is only natural that tho followers of Tam- many should demand the return of “the statesmnn™ from his exilo {o lend thomn oneo move and point the way to the spoils, ‘The conviction and punishment of Tweed— if the clegant hospitality he receives nt Blnckwell's Island con bo called punish- mont—were the resulls of the triumph of the teform parly, It was an effort, at lonst, to nooure honesty in tho administration of public affaivs in New Youl City, ond the people sought to purgo the public ofiices by punishing the man who had owned thom al, and bought and sold them for a price, and ju- solently defled the Reformers to interfora with his corruptions, The people of Now York City, however, have now signified by their votes that they hnve no use for honesty in thelr City Government or lonost mon in public office. They bavo placed QPpmmany, with all jts corruptions, its demoralizing influences, its gambling in officos, its bumners, and scnlawags, and roughg, in power again, They havo mar- shaled the old host together again, propartary to raids upon the City aud County ‘Treasuries, and hava sent down to Blackwell's Tuland for thelr old lender to roturn and rosnme his place at thoix Lead again, Thie is all that the ap- plication for a writ of Aabeas corpus menns, It iy n mera form of law, a concession they nre willing to make to gomo of their number who may be tronbled with seruples. That William M. Tweed would bo reloased from imprisonment was g foragone conclusion from tho moment that tho senles of tho eleotion turned in favor of the Domooracy. The Democracy of New Yorl Oity, without William 3, Trwoed, would bo withous & Jeader, Hla velonsa will bs the pignal for a ¥euowal of the old ¢orruptious THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBU and frauds which wero rifa under his pre- vious administiation, Tho prospects of Naw Yorke City with * the wintesman » ngain at tho helm are durk indoad. AN ORDER OF ADVENTURERS, Tha *Ixeentivo Comneil of the Unlted Order of Workingmon" pumonnces that it proposui Lo employ all ity intluenco at Wih- ington this winter in favor of a largo inflation of the ewreuey, 'Lhis whole organizntion is afraud. It hes no constituency, It is from top to boitom n mero blackmniling aftaiy. ‘Lhere ave donbileas many honost, well-menn- ing men nominally helonging to tho Order, bul the orgunization is & bogus one,—a mera devico to support a number of profossional workingmon who do npot work and do not wount to work, 'Tho Bcerelary of the Order announces that there are 74,000 lodges or- ponized nud more to bo formed, aud thab these lodges ave n compact, formidablo political body. We do not know how many men are necessary to conmstitute o ¢* lodge,” but, ostimnling them ot an averngo of 100 members to ench lodge, the total wmemberehip would bo 7,400,000, not including tho ladges yet tobe formed. Thig is in excess of tho ontiro vote polled by all partins at the olec- tions of 1874, and that voto did not indieate that tho voters wora all of ona compact politi- cal party. Tho truth is that it would posai~ bly bo su exaggeration to say that tho Execu- tive Council of the U. 0. 0. W. lavo n con- stituency of 74,000 men whosn votes ean Lo used in o compaet solid boidy at any clection, Nine-tenths of the volers of Chicago are mon who live by thoir drily 1nbor in one cceupation or anothier, and yet the U. 0. 0. W. could not. carry a procinet in this cily. Tho object of tho organization politically seems to be to givo tho local oilicors or maungers an op- portunity to sell out the imaginary votey of the imnginary members to one or both parties, or to partioular candidates, or to any perion who is wenk cnough to pay for them. What the influenco of the Excoutive Conncil of the Ordor may bo at Washiugton we do not know; Wit we do not balieve that o Con. gress- of which {wo.thivds of tho members have been dofontod fov re-clketion will take much stock in the army of 7,400,000 of workingmen in buckram, The degroe of intalligence that governs tho Executive Council mny bo estimoted from its schemo for the igaite of n greenback currency to be based for its scourity upon the real and personal property of the nation, and of courso oxchangeable for nothing and rodeomable at no time or place! This is put forth as a mensurs for tha relief of workingmen—to rob them of their wages and earnings by placing in thelr hands worthless paper instend of honest mone; THE MILWAUKEE DEPAULTER. The defaleation of Edward Ehlers, the Connty Pronsorer of Milwaukea County, pre- sents, in a nutshell, the whole history of ofi- cinl embezzloments, It is tho better told be- causo it is 50 coneise; that is, the amount is small, tho term short, and the succession of the various steps toward tho inovitable result porfectly plain, It may bo useful, therefore, to give the caso something more than a pass- ing consideration, Ehlors was s seloon.keeper, and therefore it mny bo safely assumed that he wes a ward politician, “Taithful gervico” probably Dbuilt up a constituency. Ho had very likely been a leading factor in the creation of nu- merous Constables, Aldermen, members of tho Legislature, Mnyors, ete., ete. Atlast ho camo to have “claims” of his own. He found his strikers on every side, He remind- ed ono man that he hod procured so many votes for him; another {hat he had sccured him the nomination for such an office ; and the party generally that he was a power among the buwmmer elomont, His fellow- seloon-keepers in neighboring wards probably assisted him in the work of ‘‘fixing” the primavies, and it is not unlikely that he was nominated with a hwral, Being a grog- seller and a ward politician, Lo un- devstood the value of mouey in an elec. tion, Having praviously been in tha attitudo of n receiver, o now became n disponser, So the fisst chapter in the story tells how ho raked and seroped together all the money ho had, and all he could borrow, and put it where *it would do the most good.” Ho wes elected, farnished his bonds, and wag sworn into ofice, There are fow men who canuot furnish bonds to any necessary swmount to take an ofice, and tho Bwearing-in procoss is tho simplest in the world. Thus Blr. Saloon-Keeper Ehlers came into the pos. session of ol the county funds, and regarded himself as personally enjoying tho weslth of tho Indies. Mo began by reimbursing him- self aud his friends for his eampaign oxpens. s, paid over the moncy he had borrowad, nud put his house—that is his saloon—into ordor, But the saloon-business did not prosper so well after Mr. Ehlers went into netive polities. As a wielder of influence and pockoter of vofes, ho could eommand palronage, As au office-holder, he was ex. pected to disponso free liquor. o chelked down aceounts only to rab them out again, Everything went smoothly enough, howover, until his term of offics drew towards its termination, 1t thon ocourred to Mr, Ellers that he must either bo re-clceted or “turn over,” Not being in s condition to turn over, ho dotermined upon a vo-election, To this end he took somo more of the county fuuds end distributed it freely among his retainers. DBut & chango had come over his constitu- oncy, Mis henchmen proved unfaithful, Tiis votems took his money aud voted for {he other man. So, ono duy, My, Lblers woke up to find that the wenlth of the Indies had nuddenly venished, 'The comnty, unmindful of his eminent servioes, medo a heprtless demand forits funds. 3Ir. Ehlera had nothing to do but assign his saloon-husiness, in e declining state, to lis bondsmen, sud throw himeself upon tho tender charity of his fellow-citizeny, with tho strong conviction that his * misfor- tunes” entitle him to the best considera- tion, A, Ehlors cannot ba exoneed on accannt of any of the weskuesses aud temptations that grow out of a porpiciovs system, o must answer for his personal offense against the law. But tho numbar of ofiicial Eblers io to be {yaced to the onuons systom, of which the Milwaukeo speofmen is o shining light. So long as saloon-keopers and word-buwmers lave “elpims” which the party od- mits, we mneod not hopo to escapo tho inovitable rosults. So long es mon poy out all the money they have nudall they can borrow to secure an election, Wa may expact that thoy will relmburso thom- selvos out of the public funds which ave so racklegsly put into thelr hands, It, then, the snloon.business is bad, more money muwsk he forthcoming to seours a ro-clection, If the projoct of ro-election miscarry, the publio must pocket tho loss, Ehlersis jan apitomo of thu whole systera of officlal dofaluation, 1t may difor in minor partioulars in diffors ¢nt cases, but the outline of tho story, the distribution of the charaeters, and tho do- velopmont, of tho plot, mro mnierielly the samo, Undernonth overy ows of theso fre. quent historien is tho current of that public indifferonce whieh pormits plnoes of trust to I contided to unfil men, e — THE TARIEE OH WOOL. 'The Now York Chunber of Comimerce np- pointed o comnaitteo of @nvon men, somo time since, Lo voport what changes wero needed in the oxisting tavif on wool. Their veport hing hoen submitted, It discusscs tho effect of tho prosent vato of dutics on tho wool-grower nnd tho wool-mnnufacturer,— the two persons whom the tarif is eapecially designed fo proteet. Wa shall'nualyzo their viown, first ay to the grower, finally wsto tho maunfacturer, Tho countyy can profitebly produce all grades of wool, This is proved by the in- dustrinl history of the world., It is idle, then, for o tavilf to {ry to stimulato tho production of ell grados, Our tariff tries this, low- over, and with somo remmkable results, The production of conrse wools, which ore very littlo protected, has steadily in- crensed. Tho production of the fiuer quali- ties, which ae very heavily protected, hos stendily decreased, ‘Thus the sunurl clip of fine morino wool has Zallen atlonst 80 per cont sinee 1863, Tu the States enst of tho Minsissippi, the clip of fleece wool has been reduced from 110,000,000 pounds in 1867 to 115,000,000 pounds in 1873, Even if the teviff ind fulfilled its eim and encournged the production of the finer grades, it would havoe bencfited only about 1 per cent of the wool-growers, ond, of courss, A very imuch loss peveentagoof the wholo people, Fox the seko of this tifling fraction tho nation has beon heavily taxed sinco 1861, aud now it eppems that even (he fraction has not gained theveby ! The " diminution in the Ameriean produc. tion of fine wools is nob to boe necounted for by heavy importation, The enormous duties, rauging from 5) to 120 per cont, havo checked the salo of fine foreign wool in our markety, As n consequence, tho manufacturor has to uso lower grades and turn out poorer worlk, Tho tnriff hits tho manufacturer ngain by im- posing double and treble duties on washed oud scoured wool 'This is practienl prohibi tion. Iurope tekes ‘the cleansed wool and leaves us the dirty. Our manufaciurers have {o pay freight ond duties by the pound on the wool nnd then on the grense ond dir in it. Incredible as it seoms, the Commlittea asserts that the impurities, whieh are utterly valucless, sometimes form 30 to 75 per cent of the yaw materials imported end paid for at the Custom.-Houss by weight, Still ruother bad result is that light wool is eagerly sought by the manufacturer, in order to lessen thsse enormous charges, Hence light wool has an ‘artificial value in our mar- kets. The manufactuver buys it at a higher rato than his English compelitor pays for heavy wool of tho same grade of fineness, Thero are other cases, in which the intricato system of taxation harasses the manufacturer, but wa have shown with sufiicient detnil tho evils of thoe present high duties as they stand to-day. ‘The naturnl consequences Jinve followed, The waolen trade of America is in o pracari- ous eondition, Elsowhere the trade is pros. perous. It thrives in Englrnd, in France, in Gormany, in Austrie, which suffers from recent war and a depreciated currency, and in Cnnadn, where all our peculisr circum- stances, excaps tho tarifl, provail. Only with- in our borders does depression exist, The fnct is tho more reronrkeble innsmuch as omr climate, more than that of any other coun- try, makes wooleus a necessity. Yet we have been driven out of the foreign market and have enly a procarious footing in our own, - In view of this ntter failure of Protection to protéet nuybody, the Committce strongly urges that wool should bepermanently placed on the free list. If this cannot be dong, it is imperntive that a fixed, ad talorem duty, not over 25 per cent, should be imposed. Itis signifiernt that the more paople investigato tho tariff, the moro dissatisfled they aro with it. A mnsy of evidence has beon gathered togother, beforo which the prejudices of the post ave boginning to yicld, It is a sign of the times that the Chamber of Commerce ndopted this report, authorized the Commit- teo toprint and circulate it, and made ar. rangomenta for nnother meoting to consider the matter ng; Alettor from Senator Howe setting forth the relative “‘claims” of Mr. Carpenter and ex-Gov.
