The Chitags Tibune, Monday Morning, April 13, 1875, THE LEGISLATIVE DISGRACE, The House of Representatives at Spring- field on Baturday last reached o climax in disorder. Almost sinco tho first day after tho election of Spenker tho House has.presented « continuons sceno of fumult. Tt could hard- 1y have been otherwise. Mr, Iarses, of Lake, was, so far as long service in the ITouse was concerned, an expericnced member, but always an unpopular one, o was alwnys at varianco with everybody. Iis temper isan unfortunnte one, and his speech, both in mat- ter and manner, is exasperating and bitter, and nover relieved with tho slightest intonn. tion of dignity or of respect for his fellow- mombors, Ife made himself conspicuons on thoe floor, and ns offensive ns conspicuous, To elect n porson thus constitnted, and whosa exparience had merely qualified him the better to insult, irritate, and excite the members, was n mistake which no political party would have ever made. But a dozen or more ‘““In. dependents” in the Houso demanded tho Speaker, and tho Democrats by treaty con- sented to olect ITarves as an Indepondont, in consideration of otler concessions to them. Mr. Haves carried to tho chair all his natu. ral asperities of manner, offensivoness of speech, bitter partisanship, and vindictive- uess of revenge, without ncquiring the least dignity or respect for his oflice, or for him- solf, or for any member of tho Houso,’ Those who romember the men who bave formerly held the oflco of Sponker of tho Illinois IHouse of Rep- resontntives will be ablo to understand the wido differenco between them and Mr, Hamves in all that peculirly pertains to the oflice of Speaker, Among these we may re- call Trostan J. 'Tonxen, Wizriax 3. Monnt- soN, Bax Bucrimasten, Gen. A. O. Furren, Winntaxt Sarrn, of MeLean, and Sustuy M, Corroa. Though these gentlemen sorved in high party times, they had no difficulty in mnintaining the personal and official respect of the members of both parties, and in pro. sorving order and poace and dignity, Theso men wero accorded respect because they de- served it. They did not abuse their place to insult members personally, nor collactively ; thoy hiad a plenfant recognition of every member, and never groeted him with asneer, or a rebuke, They never descended to have an exchnnge of bar-room ruffisnism with members, and of courso no such controver- siog were forced on them. DBut Mr. Hamves lins scemed to glory in such a life; ho has never seemed to be comfortable in the chair, savo when inviting insults and then repelling thom with othet insults, and inviting black- gunrdism and violenco by tho use of both. Tho Stato is familinr with tho daily scenes of disorder. On Saturday, however, the Honso exceeded ovon its own past record. The Bpealter had one bill, an infamous one, in which ho was intorested, and which he wished to have passed. There was another bill—n good and most necessary one—which the Spoaker was interested in defeating, To de- feat tho one and pass tho other tho Speaker has used his office in a manner that has disgustod every man on the floor. On Saturday tho Republicans offered, under the Constitution, to have entered on the record their solemn protest sgainat the conduct of tho Bpoaker, and against the conrso of tho majority in sustaining him in numberless violations of right, of law, of decency and propriety. To this protest the Democrats mado o howling opposition, and the Spenker bocamo more insolent, offensive, and indecont thon usual. All the noiso and disorder of the session was eclipsod in tho foronoon of Boturday. At lost thero was vio. lence, Ono momber nnswered an insult by throwing # book and striking another, and tho missilo was returned. And while the tu- mult was at its hoight, the Spoaker was lead. ing in the efforts to complicate and prevent the resminption of busincss or tho restora- tion of order. Tinally, the Spoaker, assum. ing an authority beyond all warrant of law, declared that the House wus adjourned By him! Tho members knew that this was illegal, g0 thoy did not disperso, Ar. Con. NorvLy moved ahd put the question that Afr, Joxzs be declarod Spoaker, and declared the motion carried, In the meantime, the Demo- crats were divided, one half devoting them- selves to Haives to induce him to resume the chair, and the othor half to provent Jones toking the chair, There was nothing in the New Orleans Logislature, when Witz sent for troops, half so menacing, nor half so promising of gencral violence, as prevailed in the Ili. nois Houso after Hamves had put on his hat and declared the House adjourned. Aembers of both eides crowded round tho Speaker's chair, yelling, soreaming, howling, and throatening violence. Tho one side sought to put Joxes in the chair, and the other to keep him out, Inthe meantima Harves, with his eardonfo grin aud smirk, with hat and overcoat on, eat still, declaring that there was no House, aud that he had adjourned the body until Monday, Finally, this bad, in. competent, and ill-tempered man yiolded so far 03 to resume the chair, nud avert the personal fight which, had it onco begun, would have ended no one kuows where., The BGtote of Ulinols Las been griovoualy harmed by tho electlon of Mr, Haixza to the Hpeakershlp 0! tho prosuns Huse of Uopre. Parson Brownrow is getting ready to an. swer ANDY Jonyson's intemperate and scnn- dalous speech. The matter is in good bands, Assurance comes from Washington that thero is no ground for the apprehension of troublo with Mexico, but that, on the con- trary, the diplomatic relations between tho two Governments were never more amicable, The Hon. Joux WeNTwonrTa mado his dobut 88 8 lecturer yesterday afterncon. He lec- tured in the Sundny Course to & largo auvdi- enco, giving some of the earliest and most interesting reminiscences of Chicago that lave over boen compiled, and narrating some facts which, though nearly a hundred years old, will be very new to a large portion of our rendors, Tho lecture, which is a genunine novelty both in monner and matter, is print- ed in full in this issu The plensnnt delusion that the United States, likeo a privato citizen, can enforce its just and lawful claims a8 a proferred ereditor, is dissipnted by the succoss of Attor- ney-General Witziaxms in his search Tor logal obstacles to provent the en. /joining of the TUnion nnd Contral Pacific Railrond Companies from the payment of their 6 per cent dividends to stockholders -until they have first met their Government obligations, Tho Attornoy-General finds that such a remedy is not practicable, so that Jax Gourp and his clique may rest ensy, Every- thing is lovely, and stocks are up. — An address by the Roman Catholic Bishops of Germany to the Emperor WrILriaw, re- monstrating agninst the withdrawal of State grants to the Church, and also protesting . against tho requirement of unconditional obedienco to the odious Btate laws, has been roplied to by the ministers authorizod to ex- pross the Emperor's viows. The raply om- bodies a cold rejection of the nppenls of the Biskops, togetbor with a significant intimn. tion that the Government regards with markod disfavor the change of feeling which the Bishops have undorgone since tho ex- pression of their warnings at the Vatiean Conneil, and tho subsequent transfer of their loyalty from the State to the Pope. e ——— The recont vote of Connceticut wns the largest ever cast by 1,684, The voto for Governor on Monday was 44,801 Republican, 53,785 Domocratic, 2,809 Prohibition; total, 101,009, The Democratio vote exceeds that of last year by 7,000, and the number of Irish naturalizations was nearly that many, which accounts for the magnitudo of the vic- tory. 'The Democratio gains are confined nl- most wholly to soven cities in which the for- eign element is large and rapldly increasing, It was theso Celtic naturalizations in Hart ford which caused tho defent of Gen. Jor Hawrer, a gallant Union officer, and the election in his placoof & * Copperhead,” who was o rebel sympathizer during the War. Tho evidencos of the rapid incrense of apring business continue to bo abundant in Tre Sunnax Trivove, Tho fssno of yoster- day contained four or five columns more ad- vertising than that of the provious Sunday, and more than could be printed in to-day'a is- sue it not o lino of other rending matter wero given. Tho advertising of Tue Tnisyye this spring will be larger than over bofore, and it means that tho businoss of Ohileago is larger than ever before, This is especlally notable in comparison with other citles. Gentlemen who have spent the last few wecks in Now York report thot clty aa dull and backward for this timo of year, and confidently assert that twice as much business comparatively wa done in Chicago as in Now York daring the month of March, There are many rea. sons why we are inclined to credit the state- ment, which, though it cannot, obviously, be #courate, is probably corroct in its goneral spplication to the relative business progress of tha two cities, The Chicago produce markets were lesa nervous on Saturday. Mess pork was active, and declined 700 per bil, closing at $21.65 cash, and $2L70 for May. Lard was quist and 5@100 per 100 1bs lower, dlosing §15.25 cash, and $16.80 for May. Meats were dull and easier, at 7ic for shoulders, 11j0 for short ribs, and aod 11§c for short clears. Highwines were nominally unchanged at $1.11 per gallon, Flour was dull and steady, Wheat was aot- ive and o lower, closing at $1.03 for April, and 8100} for May, Corn was less notive and firinor, closlng at 70)c for April, and 788 for Msy. Osts were in falr demand ond steadier, cloaing at 8Jo for April, and 03¢ for May, Rye was scarce and strongor at §1.15.

No such con- tinuous exhibition of disorder and huwmiliat ing indecency has ever boon known in Illinois before, nor has thero ever Loen a person holding tho offico of Speaker who has hiad the low taste to promoto and encourage snch scandalous proceedings. Some time ago Judge Dnumvonn, of the United Btates Oircuit Court of Illinois, granted injunctions in a numbor of causes wheroin rnilrond companies of this State had nsked that Colleotora of taxes Lo restralned from collecting taxes nssessed by the State Board of Equnlization upon eapital stock ond debts duoby the compnnies. Iis opin- ion was not filed at the time, butitis now made public, The Court points ont the substantial differ- enceo, which the Legislature has refused to recoguize, between the capital stock of a company, and its shares of capital stock ‘The capital stock of a corporation is Lield and owned in shares by individuals; these shares are not owned by the company, and are in no | sonso its property. The company can hardly be taxed fairly and honostly for property it doos not own, and ovor which it cannot ex- crciso any control. Tho franchiss may bo a thing of valne, and mnay bo taxed, but the Judge' inclines to tho opinion thota franchiso does not fall within that description of prop- erty which the Conatitution declares shall be taxed on valuation ; it belongs to the other classification of objects for tnxation, The Court examines the rule adopted by the Stato Board for tho equalization of taxes, by which tho aggregato of the debts due by tho corporation are ndded to the supposed valuo of the capital stock, and their joint ex- cons over tho assossed valug of the tangible property mada the taxable value of the cap- ital stock. Ile refers to the fact that in many instances the enpital stock is utterly value- less; that tho dobts exceed the valuo of all the nssets of the compnny ; and yet the com. pany is taxed upon what it owes ns upon property in actnnl possession. Mo declares it to be incomprohensible low the debisof a corporation ean bo added to anything it pos. sesses 50 08 to increase the taxable property of the eorporation, The Court also oriticises the law which finds property of a corporation located in one county, and distributes the taxation thereon through one or moro other counties, nnd considers it irrecomcilablo with the Stato Constitution. The Court imposes the injunctions reluct- antly, because it is compelled to diffor from the Supremo Court of the Stato upon these questions. But regard for justice requires that tho collection be stayed until the ques- tion is finally decided by the Supremo Court of tho United States. GENUINE TEMPERANCE REFORHM, The good work lIaid out by the Chicago Reform Club, composed of reformed drink- ers, is brought up again by the quarterly re- port of tho Committes intrusted with the or- ganization of the auxiliary clubs., It will be remembered that their plan. included the establishment of attractive club-rooms, where refreshments without drink of any Lind ex- cept water should be furnished at moderate prices, aleng with facilities for reading and writing, billinrds, and other smusements in- nocont ond harmless in themselves, but too often nccompanied by dissipation. The Club liave not yet tho means to carry out the full measure of their plans, but during the fow wecks they have been organized tho Com- mittee have succeeded beyond expectation in gothering men and women into the work, Four auxiliary clubs have been organized, with an aggregate membership of several hundred; and the opinion is confl- dently expressed that thore will be twenty of these clubs before the expiration of tho first yenr. In order to farther tho n- terests of the Socioty, the Committee recom- mend the formation of o contral association for the general supervision and control of the auxiliary clubs, so as to preservo o unity of organization and purpose. They have the co-operation of the Chicago Tempernnce Allinnco, which has undertaken to secure n changein the poy-day of employes, from Saturdny to Mondoy or Tuesday; the Alli- ance could not assumo amore important or beneficial part of the general plan, and, if they succeed, thoy will have contributed largely to the good work, The Committeo reiterato in their report their want of confidence in the efficacy of prohibitory legislation as o means of reform- ing drunkards, their disapproval of secrot societies for reformatory purposes, their de- tormination not to attompt a rovivaloef the crusading, and, finally, their pledge not to interfere wi questions of religion or politica, All of thess dooisions are ‘wise, but that with regard to politics is abso- lutely necessary to tho roalization of the proj. eot which tho Boclety las concoived. Bo long ns this position can be maintained, tho social interest in tho work will continuo to be nctive, and the results will bo as abundant as aro now anticipated. But the straggle to maintain this neutral attitude ns to polities, denominational religion, and prohibitory legislation, will be more gevore than the man. agers now apprehend. 8o long aa the cluba havo a limited membership, thero will be no effort mado to use them for political pur- poses; but, so soon us thoy shall bo enlarged in number and become powerful in member- ship, they may expact to encounter tho in- sidious offects of political demsgogues and fanatics, who will destroy thelr usefulnoss if they succeed in insinuating thomsclves into the control of their organization. The history of all temperance movements warrants this apprehension. Whilo the efforts at reform are confined to kocial in. fluences and moral sussion, they accomplish o good work, Thoy procoed upon the plan which the Bavior inaugurated of dolng good for good's sake, Thoy do not run counter to the convictions or prejudlces of any sot of people, and consequently excite no antago- unism, excopt that of tho viclous classes, which they ean overcome, But the experience of theso movements has alwaya been that the demsgogues capture them as soon as they Lave spread wide enough to include an im< portant numberof voters. The reform cluba aro then converted into political sgencies for the nttainment of prohibitory legislation, A consciousness of increased power suggosts tho accomplishment of groater things byplegal force than have beon achievod theretofors by morsl suaslon, They take up the bludgeon and propose to cocrve all men to acquicsce in the line of conduat which (hey themselves haye voluntarily chosen. And horo comes in the Iaw of correlation of foroes, Cooroive forco cannot be oxpended without a corre. sponding sacrifico of the social, per- sonal, aud moral forces, As tho strength of the movement is concontrated upon tho effort to pass laws forbidding tho manufac. turo, snle, and consumption of liquor, and to eloct mon to office who will profess to onry out tho prohibitory Iaws, the porsonal inter- est and thomornl punsion necessarily diminish, Tho roformers conso to make converia by pers sonal application, and give up the enlargo- ment of their clubs by socinl atirnctions, Their timo is occupiod with the caucus and the constabulary of the conrts, nud thoy fall body nud soul under the control of the dema- gogues. Aftor this their downfall is a mero question of short timo. They have nbandon- od ono force which had beon eflicient in ro- claiming drunkards, to oxpend it in another way to coorco moderate drinkors, which always hos boon and alwnys must bo ineffoctmal, Thoy drag down any political party which thoy dragoon into esponsing their coorcive course, aud forco n sufficient number of ro- spectablo but liberal citizens to vote with the saloon-koepors, the bummers, and tho vicious classes, and, by reaction, elovato the Intter to political supremncy. We do not need to go outside of Chiengo for an illustration of this courso of evonts, Tho party which now con. trols our City Government s the direct prod- uet of the evolution wo have doscribod. With this history of tho wasto of forces beforo thom, the Chicago Roform Clubs prop- erly appreciate nt this time the necessity of keoping aloof from roligious and political complications. But the full ronlization of this is in danger of diminishing after n great increnso of mombership and the growth of consclonsness of power. These clubs will nlgo in the fature be called upon to rosist the operations of the demagogues and schemers who now let them nlone. 1t will be neces- snry for them, therefore, to keop the funda. montal principles of their organization con- stantly, clently, and prominently in view in ordor not to lose all the benefits of their onrly work, CO-OPERATION 1N RAILROAD BERVIOE, Apay Surrn Inid down the principle that joint-atock companies could guccoed only in business susceptible of reduction to fixed rules, The ronson ho gave for this was that such companies must, in the naturo of things, be always managed by hirelings, and hired Inbor cannot compnre, in enorgy, cconomy, and fldelity, with Inbor working for itself ; just as the bought labor of slaves cannot comparo with the hired labor of freedom, ‘When, however, hirelings work by strict rule, they are liable to bo detected in their sins of omission. The fenr of this cheeks their Inzi- ness, wastefulness, and shiftlessness, The most illastrious diseiple of Ssurm, J. 8, My, belioves in the possibility of o far greater extension of the joint.stock principle (which, indeed, hns beon proved by the experienco of the contury which has ¢lapsed since the publieation of the *Wenlth of Nations"), but recognizes the full force of 'his argumont in rogard” to the disadvantages of hired Inbor, Tho hireling's object is, and always will be, to got the most money for the lenst work.- Ile does just well enough not to ba discharged Every oceupsn- tion suffors from this cause. Tho more employes, the more waste, bad faith, sloth. A railrond compnny cmploys a very grent number of men, who havo charge of a vast amount of costly machinery, much of which is constantly linblo to breskage and injury. ‘Thi: mnchinery is used for the transport of millions of dollars' worth of proporty, which is exposod to all sorts of risks, and for injury to which tho company is linble, The trains earry a precions freight of human life, too, and Juries bave o habit of bringing in heavy verdicts when widows and orphans sue a rail- rond. A great railway consumes thousands of tons of coal and iron, year after year, and much of this consumption is sheor waste. It is evident that such & complex business, requiring 8o mauy materials and so many men, nnd rosponsiblo for such enormous smounts of property and numbers of lives, mnst bo a great loser by the nggregate wasto, sloth, and bad faith of its myviad employes. A Quincy, 1L, correspondent of tho Rail road Gazetlo suggests o romedy for this losa. 1t is to give all tho employces a share in the carniogs, Let Inbor got a dividond, as well ns capital. e shows, without diffloulty, that such an arrangemeont would make the men do their bost. Indeed, nobody who knows of the mnrvelous rosults of the Industrial part- norships of England will deny this. He then ndduces a curlous practical proof of his theory, drawn from tho experionce of some Illinols ronds. Wo quoto this exceedingly interest- ing passago : Tor the peat fow montha it has become quite come mon for raliroads to go into the Lande of a Recelver, tho back-pay due employes belng paid 4o monthly ine stallments, sccording 10 the Anancial wuccess of the road during the previous month, In some cases em- ployes have noticed that the busineas of the road had much to do with the xmount of back-pay received, and argue thus: as they feel compelled to vomain in the sorvice of the road until they roceive all their back. pay, ond as the amount reccived per month is groater or lesa according to {ho fiuancial prosperity of the road, the more busincss they can draw to the road, and the mora that s saved from the usns} working ex- mlm‘ and repairs, ths larger por ceot will they re- colvi E:;nloyu sboul the office manage {n various ways tosave, and thereby cut down tho uaual monibly requisitions mora or foes, Tho yardemen are mors caroful in hondling cars, and consequently fawor draw-bars are knocked oul Jara aro set whero ihey aro stire o 4 clear,” 8o the corners will not get cut off ; and the swilching iv gonerally done in a more eco- nomical nimnner, At the round-Louse less waato is used. On thorosd, enginecrs mansge (o do with less ofl, iremen carry “lighter fires,” snd fire “finor.,” ‘Tho conductor figures Lo savo more time and labor, and the brakomen are move sclivo aud snergetlo, Thus tho spirit of economy runs through the soveral depart- ments of raliroid busincas § cach ambitios one striv- 10g to gain sometbing for the road, aud everywhero thiat the oppartunily pressnls 1sclf, da some way or other, solicitlog bus{ness, Heslsosctanss check on Ihose who are careless or wusteful, until they elther become tmbued with the same splrit or are discharged for incompetency. Tho Gazette gives oditorial indorsement to this theory of sharlng railroad protits between capital and Jabor, Wqare glad to note this fact, because it shows that tho division is practicable, The best way to arrange forit would probably be to promise the employes half tho net profita above acertain porcentage. If this wero done, even the roads now beggared by Granger legislation might man- ago to make money. Wo can contributa to the discussion the important fact that somae of the Fronch railroads divide profits in this waoy. The capital and labor employed upon them work in partnorship, The plan {s sald to be a thorough succoss. Tho moral depravity and scandalous char. acter of the Chicago Times, and pavticularly of ita Sundsy issue, have become so pro- nounced that not only have the courts taken cognizance of it as an obscens publication, but the pulpits havo revived thoir denuncin. tion of it, The Z¥mes has made an {diotlo and futile efford Lo spply this pulpit semon. stranco to Tna Crrcado 'Tarpuye, It will be pretty difficult to persunde the publicthint the clergy, or any other respectable clasa of peo- ple, will denounce Tur TnIauye, or any othor Chicngo newspaper, for immorality or in- decency, ns long ny tho Times is printed.

A BIGN AND RIFICANOR. The great mnss-moeting of 100,000 English- men in Hyde Park, a fow days ngo, was nn ovant of no menn significance, It is not onsy, ovon in London, to gathor together such A muititude of men, They did not meot to make n loyal demonstration, to do honor to Crown, Lords, or 'Squires ; to tos- tify to popular devotion to the public rulers, Their object was to denounce the Courts of England, the aristocracy of England, and all tho Euglish powers that Le, for kecping a * butcher-boy,” Anrniun OnTox, from stonling a great Innded estate. Thoir object was, again, to do honor to that buteher-boy's lnw- yer, Dr. Keweavy, who had already received a seat in Parlinment ns part of tho roward for his gorvices. This devotion to tho pseudo Trcmnonye fs curiously illogienl. If ho is tho rightful heir, he isan aristocrat, who, once in posscssion of his acres, would think no moro of his -now fanatic devotees than of the mudon thosoles of his boots; hbe- sides, what possible difference can it make to them what particular arlstocrat occupies tha estato ? If heis not the heir, ho is a cunning, unscrupulous knave, who, by falso personntion, +by wunnbashed lying, by straightforwnrd porjury surpassing that of the Brooklyn trinl, tried to steal land to ‘which ho had absolutoly no ¢laim whatover. Yot it is only ns tho butcher-Loy, ‘‘one of tho people,” that tho Hyde Park crowd could havo had any sympathy with him, Uncon- sciously perhnps, but nono the less certninly, that grent meoting sympathized with Onrox because he, n low-born churl, had tried to stenl somo thousands of broad ncrea from n 4 Xkid-gloved aristoerat.” Tho fact that mill- ons of lower-class Englishmen would have rejoiced in his theft, had ho succceded, lifts o curtaln, oand gives us a glimpse of what is going on under- neath diplomacy and Court-balls and fashion and luxnry in England. The lower orders beliove that tho land is their inheritance by right of numbers, that they havo been cheated out of it, that they may lawfully fight the dovil with firo by cheating to got it baelk, that they ought to possess it,—that thoy will! And, indeed, whatever rights the great English land-owners may have to parts of their estates, thoro can be slight donbt that tho inclosuro of ** comwmons ™ has stolen mill- jonsof acres from tho common people. A Parlinment of land-owners passed laws which practically divided up all tho land still held by the people among the monopolists, Then every titled thief fenced in the commons ad- joining his estate,~commons dedicated by immemorial usago to the general good,~~drove off any families found upen them, sud rented to the people their own land. No Ring in American politics hns ovor earriod through such a uccessful schome of plunder. When the peoplo waked to tho outrage, no Ameri- can Ring hos ever shown #o little shame in lolding on to plunder. It is this inclosure of commons which is the most telling article in the indictment against the land.monopo- lists. It cannot bo met. Prescription caunot be relied upon, for o term of years will not run ngainst & whole people robbed of its rights. The people are now alive to tho wrong that has beon done them. The meot- ing ot Hydo Park was simply n proof of the strength of this feeling of wrong, It was a warning from the proletarint to the pecrage, THE LORDON SICCK EXCHANCE. Tho investigation into the fraudulent lonns placed upon the London market within the lnst few years hasled to soma unplensant revelations about the mnnner of doing busi. ness on the London Btock Exchange, The Committeo of the House of Commons has unearthed a remarkablo record of rascality in rolation to the Honduras loan, and the En- glish press comments upon the facts with soverity, It seoms thot a certnin Gurrennez, Liv- erpool clerk, appeared at London as ** Minis- ter of tho Republic of Honduras.” At the samo time, & Capt. Bzorono Pn was suthor. ized to *¢ rapresent the Government of Hon- duras in oll financial matters in Europo.” This worthy braca went to work with vigor. They employed somo contractors to build n railrond in Hondurns, and they then issued millions of bands, This was in 1867. The Trustecs of the loan woro Davios, a clerk in the offico of cne of the brokers counccted with the loan, and Banrxes, a clork of the rail- way-contractors. Danwes soon died, after which Davips ran things and took things to suit himself, * Minister” Gurreagez kindly deoorated him with the cross of the *Order of the Rose of Honduras,” 'This appears to have been invented.for the occasion. When matters hod gono thus far, the Stook Ex- chango, which is supposed to exist for the sake of preventing rascality, was used to furthorit. The worst thing abont the matter {s, that the same game can apparently bo played over again, ad lib,, whenevor a worth- loes bond is offered for saloe. Tho Honduras Ting gave a broker one hundred guineas, and that broker, who was & member of the Exchange, persusded the Committeo to put what wero called tho * gocurities™ of Honduras on the Btock List. This, of course, gave them n cortain standing, end insured o daily bullotin of their prices, Tho next thing was to bring abont fictitions sales. Nothing oasier, Two members of tho Ex chango wore retained, One offerod Honduras bonds at a high rate; the other bought them. The transaction was duly published, Then, when tho bonds in the hands of bona flle holders began to foll, thelr proceeds were used to buy part of thom back agaln, This waa dono secrotly, and, of course, it checked the fall, for the time boing, and allowed the sharpers to flont agaln tho bonds retired, and & fresh lot bosides, 1Most of theso pleasing particulars sro taken from tho testimony of the Chairman of the Btock Exchange, Mz, Dr ZoxTz, before the Commons' Committee, The Baturday Review, commenting upon them, rebukes tho Exchango sbarply., It says ’;‘h!l 19 & form of decalt to which {he Block £xchange practically lends ftself, and which could not be carried on without fte co-operaiian,- , . If rolien loans and ‘bubbls companiea were lalt in tho bands of the sort of Ppeopla with whom they usuaily originate, they would naver have 8 chance, What helps thew s the coun. tenancoof persous of charucter, aud this s the sezvice ‘which the Biock Exchange unblushingly renders, , . ‘Tho gaina s to put tho speculation on such & footing that the allly world outaids, which knows nothung of rigs and pocket orders, alall be deludod lato buylug stock £roma the peopls who bave got it at alow Sgure, When the bublle bugts the sespeciable coulelersles bave sacused Malr prealuns, asd Ws dsludad pulille b lufh to make the testof the rulnous obligations which i} has foollahly Incurrod, It i worth whilo to remomber theso facts, when Dritish Inveators growl over their losges and accnse people of other nationalities of having duped and wronged them, This Ion. duras loan, for instance, was engineered by Quriennge, whose native conntry ia uncor- tain; Prs, an Englishman; Dannes, dittog "Davips, ditto; two contractors, do. ; o lot of brokers, do.; and the London Btock Ex- chango. Wo havo at least the poor consola- tion of knowing that American rogues find plenty of English roguen to help them, and that the wholesalo condemuation of Awmerica by Euglishmen who have beon swindled by their fellow-countrymon into buying bonds unsnlable on this side of the ocena is illogical nnd wrong. The township of Tyde Park is not largo cnough for n connty, but it is too large for town. Itsinterests aro not homogeneous or harmonious. It extends from the eouthorn oity limits almost to the Indiana State line,—n distanco of 14 miles. Hydo Park proper, as distinguished from Cnlumet and Wolf Lake, is composed of Chicago business-men with their families who reside there. It is o saburban, homne community, with no com. merco or manufacturos, and desires only peaco and quict. Tho now territory taken from COnlumet, at the southern end of the townsbip, s likely to have a population of a very different charketer. Its progvess will depend upon the building up of manufactur- ing and shipping interests, some of which aro alrendy fairly started. They will dmaw about them n totally different clasa of people, but the vory people who nlways vote, and who will be numerous cnough before long to outvote the quiet people nearer the city limits who have built elegant and costly homes. The only political safety for Hyde Park in the futuro is aseparation from the clashing interests of South Chicago, and that portion of the township which will depend upon its manufacturing and commercial in. torests. Tho conjunction of theso two dis- tricts under one Government Is very like morging tho Bixth Ward, with the peculiar Bridgeport elemont, into the Fourth and Fifth Wards, with their handsome ovenues and costly residences, The people of Hyde Park should give this matter their serious atten- tion, The olection in Rhode Island on Thursday last was about the liveliost she has over had, and Lrought ont the largest vote but one aver enst. It will bo romembored that the Repub- lican Convention, after o hard faction fight, nowminated Hesny Lirerrr, anti-Prohibition- ist, for Governor, whercupon the Prohibition- ista bolted and nominated his beaten oppo- nont, RowraNp Hazanp, Tho Democrats nominated the eandidate of the Liquor-Deal- ‘erd League, C, I Curuer. Tho result of the clection was as follows ¢ LppITT, regular Rep. HAzAuD, bolting Rsp, CurLin, whisky Dy This throws the election into the Legisln- ture, and it is not certain how it will go there, sinco tho decision will rest with the subso- quent clections in twenty districts, whero there was no choice, Lrrritr's friends claim thoy have a majority so far, and nre confident they will finally elect him. The Licutenant. Governorship is in the samo uncertainty, but (he rest of the Ropublican Stata ticket, which wea supported by both wings of the party, had betweon 11,000 and 12,000 majority, The Democrats failed utterly to moke any im- pression on the Republican strongth, or get any advantnga from the quarrel on the tem- perance question, e ————— Tho bill securing the rights of foreign cor- porations, commonly known nt Springfleld this winter ns the Brapwety bill, passod the Sonato last Friday, and has been approved by tho Governor, Thia bill gives corporations formed under the laws' of other States and countries, who may wish to lend their money in this Btate, the ssma right to maka losns, onforce their securities, and bid in property on foreologure, as if organized under the laws of the State of Ilinois. The bill is ono of the most important of the session, and in the line of thelong-established policy of this State to invite aud protect foreign’ capital. We aro & community of borrowers, and aro likely to bo 8o for yenrs yot. ‘There is not o busi- ness man of any prominence in tho Stato who would not have given the bill his hearty support. Singular ss it may appear, thera was n strong opposition among the Grangers in tho Houss of Reprosentatives, and the bill was carried thore, afters contest extending over sovoral woeks, In the Bonato it pnssed uopnimously, Tho Governor ap- proved it at once, and tho great interestsin- volved aro mow amply protected, The bil wag introdaced by Judge BRADWELL, of this city, and its fina] passago was largely due to his energy and influence. Tho Domocratic plurality in Connectiont for Governor, as officinlly necortained, is 9,68t On the voto for Congressmen the Democratio plurality is only 8,782, Part of this great differenco is due to tho unpopular- ity of the Ropublican eandidnte for Governor, who ran everywhero bohind his ticket, Gen, Hawrry mnde tho best run of anybody on tho Republican sido; while tho majority for the Domocratic candidate for Governor was 2,420 in Hawwey's distriot, that for the Dom. ocratio canfdato for Congress was only 489, Tho Springileld (Mass,) Republican remarks: Young and amidtious politiclans Just entering upon the pubiis carcer may profilably compare the way in which the country receives tha nows of Josxem R.
