B, W, Recurdor. The Chicage Teibune, Tueaday Morning, April 20, 1875, An cxciting clection takes place in Hyde Park to-dny. 'The exnct merils of tho ques- tions at issue are not fully apparent ; but tho main contest appears to bo upen the point, whether the so-called Cneronroy Ring shall or sholl not obtain control of the village. Tax-payers will consult theirintorests by cast- ing their votes ngainst that Ring. It is proper to call the attention of the reador to the fact that the second coming of Christ did not take place last evening cecording to announcement. Tho small band of fanaties in Chicngo who had created such o sensation by their inter- pretation of Scriptural prophecy confidently owaifod the appearance of the Hoavenly manifeatations, and thereis no denying that many other people ¢ awaited developmonts " with rather moro than a sneering interest. The ecbennial colcbrations at Concord and Liaxington of the first shots fired in the War of American Independence took place yesterdny, in nccordance with the interesting and elaborato programmes which we have al- ready published. Tho President and Viee- President of tho United States, Members of the Cobraot, United Stnates Senators, Mem- bors of Congress, Governors of States, Judges, Generuls, poets, orators, and emi- nent men of the Republie, lent their pres- ence to the patriotio ocension, while mighty crowds, only limited in sizo by their ability to rench the historic scenes, participated in tho memorable eclebration. The extromo cold wenther had the effect to interfero some- what with the complete fulfillment of tho contemplated order of procedure; but nev. ertholcas the joint centennial was a magnifi- May. Ryo was quict and steady at $1.03@ 1.04. Barley was dull and ngarly nominal at $1,20 for April, and 21,10 for May. Hogs wers 10@l1ac lower. Sales at S7.25@0.350. Chattle were active and ensier, Sheep wero steady. The tendeney to fix responsibility npon one central oftivial of any municipality is be. coming more nnd more plain in American polities, Fxperience has shiown that in a complicated Government, in which the Ex eentive eannot control his nominal subordi- nates, it i impossible to check rnscality. 'Fhis experience has borne fruit, iu Il in the Munieipal Incorporation nctof 1, which makes the Mayor of n city respons for the proper administration of its nffairs, and gives him authority commensurata with this responsibility; and, in New York, in a Dbill now pending be- foro the Legislature, and pretty suro of passage, which gives the Governor of the | Stato authority to suspend any of his imme- dinte subordinntes, the State Auditor, Canal Commissioners, 'I'veasurer, the Atlorney. General, Seeretary of State, ete,, pending a trinl for malfensance in office, Tho power to suspend may perhaps be amplified into the power to dismiss, but this is uncertnin, Tt is o significant fact, in this connection, that the Cabinet system—n sct of subordinntes appointed and removable by tho respousible head with the consent of tho Sonate—has lind eighty-six years' trinl at Washington and hns been a remarkablo success ns compared with any other system tried by the States. THIRD-TERM FOL-DE-ROL. The Clovelnand Jlerald has suceceded in at- tracling some attention to itself by the re- cent publication of the following paragraph: Tn 6 number of Instances, gentlomen supposed fobe near tho Prealdent have declaral e docs not acek o thitrd ferm, but in every instance it has been proclalme od, after such avowr], that no one haa a right to apeak for tho President, The conseqiience i3, it liaa come to be very geaerally lelicved that ftie Presidont does seck a third terni, Al tha afectation of modesty that sugges's that the Preshlent cannot properly decline to run a thisd tme until osked by a Conventlon, and ail 1hio pretenso that tho third terin 18 a bug-bear, dd not nmount to shucks in the I'ght of the suspicion that everything polntato tho fact that the Presklent doca dealro s thinl term, and that tho oftical il personal fricuds of tho Presldent are working for that end, The renson why the paragraph has attracted | attontion is not merely beeause the Cleveland | Merald is a Republican journal, but becauso it has been regarded ns n common-sense, wmatter-of-fact newspaper, not given to sen- sational journalism. Wao fear it cannot re- peat the sentiments expressed above without forfeiting its clain to this reputation. If we credit oll the statements herein at- tributed to gentlemen * supposed to be near the Presidont,” and admit, for argument's sake, that * the President does desire o third term,” what then? Tho office of President is not an appointive office, and it is not in the power of Gen. Grast to fix himself in the chair Ly his own individual will. If Gen. Gnaxt's desire to servo o third term hns oven taken so strong = hold upon him as to oxercise an influence over his personnl nud official friends (of which we have never yot mnoticed any evi- dence), wo do not seo how these friends can dictate a nomination to the Republican pnrty unless there is a majority seutiment in that party in favor of a third term, Or, if the Republican party should bo overcoma by Gen, Gnaxt and his friends, we do not see how its nomination is going to elect Gen, Graxr for a third term unless a majorily of the people of the United States want to clect him, When wo bave renched this point, it must besudmitted that o majority of the peo- ple havo o right to olect Gen. Goanr for a third term, if they soe fit; but, without their consent and co-operation, wo cannot see what the individunl inclinations of tho Prosidont and his friends can possibly hava to do with the matter, cent suceess, An extended report of tho ex- ercines will bo found in onr telegraphia col- nmns, Anow complication has arisen in connec- ton with the Conrt-House architact squabble. Eaay, the Irish member of the trinity select- ed by the County Bonrd, proposes to bar out bis German nnd Amorican associntes, and now claitms to be the architect for the county portion of the building. Ho will acknowledgo no shares in the hionows and profits of the position, and talks as if he meant to bold fast to his assumed advantagoe, Tiueey, Lowever, goes still further back, oand claims precedence over Eaay and il the rest by virtuo of the suthorship of tho *Eureka” plan, adopted by both city and county authorities. Bo it transpires that the nationality scheme, if not a failure already, in likely to lend to prolonged litigation and de- lny, though if the strugglo ultimetely results in tho abandonment of tho ridienlous triple alliance, and the selection of an architect on the strength of hin merita instond of the ac. cident of his birthplace, the tax-payers will be the gainers in getting a cheapor and a bot- ter building, The resumption of the Brooklyn irinl yes. terdny found all parties refreshed and strengthenod by the rccess of four days. Jlr, Furierton returnod to the chargo with renewed vigor and intensity, and soveral times during the day his ittorness got the Dotter of Lis sunvity and good tomper, iy manner in condueting the cross-cxamination plaiuly indieates that ho, at least, i torribly in earnest, and that ho i firmly convinced thot tliere are important facts nnd admissions which are boing kept back. Mr. Bercurn coutinues to, exhibit consummato skill in parrying the savagb thruats of his inquisitor by tho aid of a prompt explanation ora defective momory, usiug both ns weapons of defenso, and with & olill which Lids fair to bafile his adversary in the end. True, the explanations are prone to ba morp prompt than plausible, and the ‘““non mi ricordo” now and then hns a disingenuousness which is flavored with socretivencss rathor than candor, but, inns- much as Mr, Brrosen's success in rosisting tho assaults of Lis cross.cxeminer will be by many people regarded as fresh proofs of his innoconce,'the defondant may be still booked a8 tho winner of tho fight up to this point, The Chicago produce morkets wero irrogular yesterdny, breadstuffs being goner- ally heavy. Mess pork was less active and 10c per brl lowor, closing at §21.873@21.90 for Muy, and §22,12}@22,15 for June, Lard was quiet and a shade easler, closing finn at $16.65 per 100 1bs cash, and §15,72) for June, Meats were quiot and firm at 8jo for shoulders, 120 for short ribs, and 120 for short cleara. Lake freights wero dull and casier at 4} for corn to Buffialo, Highwines wera quiet aud strong at $1,12 per gallon. Flour was dull and easier. Wheat was active and 2}o lower, closing at $1.00 cash, and §1.014 for May, Corn was moderately active, and 20 lower, closing at 70Jo cash, and 74jc for May, Oats were in moderate domand at {a dsclins,, closing ab 090 casb, and G0jo for * Tlo real question, then, is: Do a majority of the people want Gen., Grant to servon third term? The Cleveland Jlerald mnny mako up o reasonnble eatimato on this in its own neighborhiood. ¥ow mnny voters nro thero in Cloveland who are in favor of a third term? 1llow many people aro there in Olio who ndvocate it? Are thoro na thousand? Are there fifty? Are thero half a dozen? Has the editor of tho Cloveland JZerald heard a sivgle individuol express himself as in favor of nthird term? If not,—and wo sssume not,—then Third-Term ig a political will-o'- the-wisp, nnd the IHeralds declaration amounts to nothing more than that Gen. QGnavt has been deceived by it. Of even this a good many people will continue to doubt. ‘What we have aasumed to be trne of Cleve- land and Ohio is true of evory other section of the country whero the Republican party is in tho majority or likely to boat the next Presidontinl election, Thers have been good many declarations againat o third term, but no declarntions in furor of it have como under our notice. Congress hns givon no in- dication of such n preference. No Stato Legisiature has declared in favor of it. No political convention hay judorsed it. Not a single newspaper in the country is advoeating it. We have novor yet heard an individunl voter oxpress himself as oither desiring or willing to votefor o third term, Then whers is the danger? Is it oven probable that Gen, GraNT ontertnins 50 palpable a delusion in view of tho universal sentiment in favor of the two.torm principle, manifested daily in such a varioty of ways? ‘Lhero ia but one theory which admits of the possible momination of Gen, Guant by the Icpublican Convention, viz,: That all the Southern States will send full delogations pledged to him, and that the lalf-hundred additionnl votes necessary to nominate him will bo secenred from offlcc-holding delegates from the Nortk,- Now thero are uot more than two or threo Southorn Btates which can be counted on to vote the Nopublicnn ticket nt tho noxt election. 'Then tho assumption is that o number of Democratic States will bo permitted to diotato the nomination in o TRepublican Convention of a man whom the Republican States do not want. "This is sheer nonsenso,, Concerning the co-opern- tion of the ofiice-holders, their loynlty to Gen. Gpayt will not outlast their conviction that he can be eleoted, if any of them have any such conviction, When. ever thoy seo that a majority of the Republi- can, party ure opposed to Gen. Gnant's re. nomination and re-clection, they will likewiso Do opposed to it, and favor the cholce of the man most likely to be nominated aud elected. A Prasident always loses political oontrel of his oflce-holders at the ond of the third yenr of his expiring term when thers is no hopo of his re-olection, The intercst of tho office- holders is {n retaining their places; in order to doso they join their fortunes, not with thelr friends of the past, but with the men most likely to bo in a position to befriend them in tho future. There ia absolutely nothing loglenl in any phase of this Third-Term discussion, and just 8¢ littlo in thad suggestsd by the Qloveland THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: Herald oa in nuy other wa have seen. mo- timo ago, when the Now York Meraldin. vented it ns a frnitful newspaper sensntion, it wasa hullabaloo ; now it kny dwindied into tiresomo fol-de.rol. Tho New York feralil 10w makes fun of ita bantling, and speaks of the notion ns an abunrdity. COURTS OF ARBITRATION, Sonto months ago A uew court was eatab- lished in New York City, It is the Court of Arbitration of the Chamber of Commerce, 50 called becanse tho latter organization pays the 210,000 salary to Judge Faxcien, who sits on its bonell. 'The Court takes cognizance only of mereantile disputes. In such enses, cither of the disputants may nolify the othor that ho wishes to hove the suostion tried beforo Judge Faxcnen, If the othor party fles no objection, the Court assumes jurisdiction, and its decision, unless appealed from, is final. If objection is filed, the enso cannot be henrd in that Court. 'This provents arbitration between unwilling parties, and yet permits persons who nre mu. tually confident of thelr rights to have {thoso rights seitled chenply and, what is still Letter, quickly, 'This cxperi- ment thus far lhns been o great success, Mauy cases bave been seitled ; the crowded dockets of the other courts bave been ro- lieved of part of their burden; and thus the wholo ndwinistration of civil justice in Now York City has been bettered. An attewpt in uow being made to induce the New York Legislataro to provide for the expenso of the new Court out of the public funds instend of obliging a comparatively few merchants to benr the wholo cost by private subscriptions. The good results of the institution are so plain that this will probably be done, The eflicacy of courts of arbitration where questions betweon eapital aud Iabor are con- cerned has been amply proved by the experi- cnco of England and France, 'I'he Now York experiment shows that the principlo is capablo of still bronder applications. Why shonld it not be tried here? A grent com. mereial eity needs some court which shall bo exclusively devoted to mercantile disputes, In such disputes, time is often of vital im. portance. It is intolernble to abide the law's proverbial delnys. A court of arbitration would settle tho matter off-hand. If the Legislaturo of Illinois, at its last ression, had provided for n court of this sort in Cook County, instend of merely incrensing the number of Judges in one of the courts al- ready establisned, tha effect in lessoning the present pressuro on onr dockets and hasten. ing the despateh of business would probably have been much more marked than it will be now. ‘WHO ARE PROTECTIONISTS AND WHO FREE-TRADERS, The Tontins Free-L'rader, n Democratic paper, finds fault with Tz Triovse because it is & Republican paper and does not advo. cato o high protective tariff, but supports n revenue tariff. It nssumes that tho Repnb- lican party is o Protectionist organization, while the Democratio party is committed to Freo Trade. Thoro was o timo when the two parties of the conntry distinctly took issue upon this question of the tariff. The Whig party planted itself upon the *‘American system” of Mr. Cray, which was essontinlly the Protoclive policy, The Domocratio party, excopt in Pennsyl- vania, was opposed to Protection, In 1816 the country, by an overwhelming vote, ndopted the revenuo tariff policy, which con- tinued until 1857, when the tarifl was still farther reduced by the * 3avks bill,” sup- ported generally by the Republicans then in Congress, This low tariff policy continued until after the Rebellion broke out in 1861, It had among its ablest champions Senators and Representatives from New England. In the meantime, the slavery question over- ghadowed all others; the Whig party went to plecos in 18523, and o lavgo portion of it went over to the Domocratic party, especially in tho South, carrying with them the doctrine of Protection, which they have religionsly ndhered to in that party over since, The Re- publican party received the other part of the Whigs, and was largely recruited from the Democrats and Freo Soilers, A distinctivo party line on tho tariff question hns never Deon apparent sinco. Both the Democratic and IRepublican parties have been di- vided among themsolves on that sub- ject; meither has had the courage to fake positive grounds on eithor sido of the question, 3auy of the ablost TRavenuo Reformers in Congress snd in the country have been Ropublicans, and Protec- tion has had no more zenlous defenders thau Democrats, The Democratio party in New England is more or less in favor of Protec- tion, That party, which is so eloquent in favor of tho rights of the States to tho pos. sension and enjoyment of their politienl pow- ery, have nover a word to say in denunciation of the Governmental policy by which one- third of the product of every man's labor is arbitrarily confiseated aud taken from him and given to gome other man who docs not produce any purplus, Tho Dowmoeracy of Conunecticut, and Now Hampshire, and Vor- mont lhave piteous tcors to shed over the degradation to which white men aro subjected in belng compelled to vote at the same precincts with tho negroes, but these samo Domocrats lhiave no cousclentious compunctions in pock- eting from one-third to one-half of the earnings of theso same fmpoverished peoplo —vhites and blacks—nnd leaving thom dex- tituto and suffering. The Democracy of Noew England, Pennsylvanis, Marylaud, Now Jer- sey, Kentucky, Tenucssco, and other States, havo semi-annual fast days on which to mourn over the robberies of tho Southern people committed by the carpet-baggers, but the ontire spolintions by the carpot-baggers since 1805, added to the ravages of the grass. hoppers, will not equal ono year's conflscn- tion of the earnings of the honest labor of the country perpotrated under the sanc. tion and by authority of law, throygh the machinery of ‘tho DProteclive tariff! Even the people of plundered and im- poverished Louisiana suffor more materinl loss in n single year from tho Profcctive tariff than they do from all the scalawag and earpet-bag thioves, nssassins, aud mur- derers of overy party, "The Democrats and TRepublicans, without distinction of party, in all theso protected Statos and localities, make common causo to perpetuato tho tariff and to perpotunte the robbery of the proceeds of which thoy are the recipients, ‘Iho War, with its other calamities, sub. Jected tho country to this ralic of barbarism, and such hos boon the demoralized condition of legislation arising from tho ignorance of tho average Congressman upon tho question of finance and revenua that that tarll, which is reproach to the civilization and intelll. gence of tho age, is now evon worde in its details than it was whon tho War closed. In 1808, threo yoars after the War, on attempt waa made to whip the Democratic party futo profesalon Lo favor of Free Trads, and the following extrnordinary hotch.potch of con. tradictory nonsense was the vesult: , A farifr for revenue upon foreign imports, and auch equal taxation under thn Internal laventin Liws an will afford Incidental protection to domeattn manufactures, and an will, withant fmpalriog ths reveune, fiupose the least Liirden npon nnd beat promotn amid encour ae tho great industrinl interests of the countes, In 1872 the snme prrty evaded tho question in tho following cowardly manner: Tecogntzing that there are fn onc midst honest but {rveconcilable differences of oplnfon with regard to the reapective aystems of Protection and Freo Trade, e remlt the dlscunsion of ho aubject to the people in thelr Congresalonal Distrlcta! T'his aclion in 1872 was oven mora coward- Iy than thet of 1868, nnd in 1876 the Demo- crntic P'rotectlonisty will resolutely provent nnyavowed opposition to a wystem of robbory which is without precedent in this or any clvilized nation. THE QOLD IN THE WORLD, *The Pall Mall Budget, reforring to the ef- fect of tho recently-ndopted policy of gold coinnge in Germany, says that it has caused apprehension na to the supply for future do- mands, and has turned attention to the rate of production of the gold-yiclding countries, It nsserts, as an ascertained fact, that the an. nual wastnge of gold ix equal to .t11,000,000, or 15,000,000, and that, in addition to Ger- many, Japan and 1iolland have begun gold coinnge, This wastage is in the wear, tenr, friction, and casunl losses. Tho Londen Jiconomixt states that the aggregate produc. tion of all the gold mines sinco 1848 hny amounted to £2,740,000,000, and the stock of gold existing at that timo was £2,800,000,000, The product of the last twenty-seven yenrs lins, therefore, been a fraction over the stock thon on hand, If, liowover, the estimate of oo nnnual loss of 15,000,000 be a just one, then the present stock is less by §105,000,000 than tho sooming stock on hand. The result may be thus stated 1948—Stock on MSnd. e isinserressase s $2,710,007,000 1575—Product fn twenty-seven 5ears..... 020,00 45,740, 09,00 405,600,050 Btock of gold 1n exiatonco.... 185,000,000 Tt is not possible to estimato how much of this gold is in tho shapo of coin. The gold product of 1856 was $160,000,000, which the English paper says was the largest ever pro- duced in ono year. In 1874 tho same paper estimates tho yield of tho mines at £96,250,~ 000, of which it npportions $43,750,000 to Australin, £32,000,000 to the United States, and $22,600,000 to Russin. This is, how- ever, o far ps the United States aro con. cerned, n grent mistike for that year. 'Tho product of gold in tho United States in 1874 wag $74,000,000, nn iucrense of a mill- ion and n half over 1873. It is stated that the Australinn mines have fallen off, while the product of the Russinu mines has incronscd. Assuming that no fresh mines yielding Inrgo qunntities aro discovered, and that tho reduction of the product of the pres- ont mines be permanent, thon the rise in prices since 1848, duo to the incroased supply of gold, lins now reached its maximum, and, indeed, if the productivencas of tho mines does not incrense, o slight declino in prices will probably take place. This assumption, howaver, resting as it does on tho mistalo as to productiveness of the American mines, is grently wenkened. If the greatest product was that of 1856, when it renched $156,000,- 000, the product of 1874, including tho cor. rected figures for the United States, was £140,2/0,000, and the reduction in tho aggre. gato product is not, therefore, of such mag; nitude as to threaten any revolution in prices. Itis true that sinco 1848 tho business of the world hns had more than tho natural or ordinnry extension, requiring = . groater amount of gold for exchanges, BStill, tho decrens in tho product of gold must be por- manent and large, to have tho cffect of ro. ducing prices, Another featurc of this matter of gold sup- ply is that in the United States, Italy, Austria, Russin, Turkey, and Spain, gold is displaced for internal commerce by paper, and is, ton groater or less oxtont, hoarded or otherwisa held inresorve, Tho nmountthus held inthe United States, including the amonunton deposit in the Trensury, is put down at $150,000,000, nand the stock of gold hnd silver in coin nnd bulbon nt $250,000,000, Of this sum, ex. cluding tho manufactured metal, about $190,- 000,000 is available for monoy.
