Troupe.=** Hampiy Dumpty ! The Chivage Tidune, Thursdey Morning, May 20, 1875. Another interesting letter from our cor- respondent in tho South s published this morning. Medicnl scienca fs reduced ton fine point when the dirt from beneath o suspected mur- dorer's finger-nails furnishes ovidence of re- cent contact with human biood. Such was the testimony of experts in the case of n ne- 3ro in Dotroit accused of killing hia wife. Alrendy the ox has begun to fnll, the telegraph being employed to hasten the process of deenpitalion nmong the Internal Ravenue ngents, {wo of whom yestorday re- ceived their messages of removal in this way, Commissioner Prazr is evidently n humano gentlemnan, us ha resorts to electricity to put the uneasy ofticials out of their misery. The colored peoplo of Tennesses havo started an emigration movement, and met yesterdny in convention at Nashvillo to dis- cusa tho matter and adopt mensures necessary for removal to some other State. Great in- ducoments aro held out to them by partics desirous of securing the settlement of the colored co'onies upon unocenpied lands, and tho mov.ment appears to have assumed o shiape which means oxodus, In yesterdey's 'F21ouse wes o statement of the seizire of fifty barrels of whisky at the storo of E. BurNuau & Sons, 52 Lake street, with an nddition that proceedings against that fitm was awong the possibilities, though nothing bad been dotermined om. The seizure was mado a9 stated, but not with o viow of criminnl procoedings sgainst Boax- 1143 & Sons, who bought the whisky in good faith, but against the firm who had sold it to thom, and tho Gauger, whose official report of tho trangaction was considered fraudu- lent. Y The revival of the Brxcnen cnso in Brook- {yn yesterday saw n noticoably diminished at- tendence of women, for tho renson, a corre- spondant says, that the scandal evidence is all in. Judge PorTen opened for thae defenso, and in his argument Lendled Tmzoy and BlovrroN quito roughly, pointing them out in person, and denouncing them with seornful omphasis.: The only member of the plaintift’s counsel presont was Ar, Bracn, who is to Liavo tho closing specch, nnd who, no doubt, will convinco Judge Ponrzn that severity towards witnesses and principals is s game two can play at. . Although advised by & membor of the City Low Department that, in the ovent of the sdoption of the charter of 1872, as now, the *entiro control of the ercction of public build- Ings, including the sclection of nrchitects and the ndoption of plans, rests with the Board of Public Works, the Common Council last oven. ing pessed an order directing the Board of Public Works to employ Messrs. Eoax and Trury as avchitects, subject to the concur- tenco of tho County Commissionors; and that, when the plans shall have been sgreed upon, the Board shall immedintoly advertisa for proposals for excavaling and putting in tho founitations. e Thero will be a stringoncy in the 8t. Touis finaucial vireles. A base-ball club, calling Itoolt 8 Clicugo affair, went down to St, Louis and lot n club of that city beat it twice, To beat anything called Chicago " was an event in the history of 8t. Louis, and thero was o general Loliday, and it was voled that the ovent be cclebrated contenninlly dur. ing ull coming timo. Tho St. Louis club carao up here, and tho people of Et. Louls bet ubout one-half the cnsh eapital of tho city that their club wonld beat Chicago ugain, Tho result was different, and was procisely what overybody hore Imew it would bo, and as prabably it was intended from tho firat it should bo, Tharo will bo large ship. wment of currency from $t, Louis to Chicago, Ttis ostimnted that throo-tenths of the goods imported in Now York are muupgled, and that the Govornment does mot derive over 70 per cent of tho gross revenus duno upon importations in that eity, Tho tari® evasions rceently develonsd in Now York haveled toa thorough investigation, though P it iu said that Becratery Bnistow declares tho extent of the frauds to havo been exaggerated, Naturally, the Custom-House officlaly attrib. tite the provalonce of smuggling to tho aboli. tion of the system of moletics, which they wonld like to seo restored, whila by others it {3 thought to bo dre to the genorul opidemic of dishonesty which affeets tho civil service, ‘The lutter theory is doubtless correct so far 09 it rolaton to the colloction of customns rev- onug, the present high tariff being a power- ful incentive to diskoneut; e e—t—— The Chicago produca inarkots gonerally took a downward turn yosterday, Moss pork ‘wos active, aud 30@350 ¢ brl lower, closing at §20,75 cosh, and §20.774@20.80 for July.

Snles mostly at B7.26@7.75, Cnitle and sheep wero in fair demand, and pricen were steady and firm, And now comes the Rev. A, i, Brapsonrn, pastor of the Congregational Church at Mont Clair, N. J., and joins tho llev. Dr. Grorax B, Bacoy, D, D, in his objection to Bowex's further connection with the Congregational Union, begnuso of his intimate rolations with the Bercnen seandal, This is dreadful, But how ig it that theso ‘aensitive souls, ns Mr, Bowex himself nsked recently, find objections to him when they have no objections to Mr. DBrrcnee's prenching, who cortainly has moro intimata relations with tho Bercusn seandal than ho lns? Are not these two divines straining at a very small gat and swallowing o large two-humped camel? The proccedings in tho County Court yesterday in the case of Mrs, LixcoLy will have n painful interest. Nothing but an im- porative senso of duty and of filial devotion could have compelied the institution of the inquiry, It hino been generally known in the circlo of tho lady's acquaintances and per. sonnl friends that something of this kind would eventually bo nocessary. The torrible ovent of which she wns an oye-witness has at Inst comploted the dethronemont of perfact reason. ‘The long years of painful brooding over the drendful homicide of her husband havo gradually produced tho necessity for the proceedings taken yosterday, To the Court, tho gentlemen comprising the jury, the physicians, witnesses, relatives, and frionds, the nclion token wns distress. ing in tho cxtreme, but its necessity mado them unanimous. Judge Dasts, of the Supreme Court, the executor of tho estate, ond the Hon. Jony T. Stuanr, of Spring. fleld; Mrs, Lixcoux's cousin, rlso npprove of what lias been done. As will bo seon from the evidence, Mrs, Lscory's mind bas boen for ten years the prey to growing madness, and this fact, now made publio, will cast n now light on many of her pnst actions, which ‘were harshly criticised by those who did not know her, and which, while understood by Lier personal friends, could not bo explained by them, sinco to have done so would havo been to have exposed her montal condition, whick it was then hoped might improve. . e a— THZ WHISKY FRAUD3, ‘Wo fecl puthorized to say that the Seo- rotary of tho Trensury, in his efforts Lo break up the fraudulent practices of the Whisky Ring, and in his dotermination to prosecute and punish to the full extent of tho law all those found guilty, especially tho officers of the ruvenue, will have the cordia! npproval and unlimited support of President Granx. Any guilty person who puts any lhope of cs- cape from legal prosecution upon the Presi- dent's inlerferenco with the cxecution of the law by the Socretary of the Tronsury, is certain to Le disappointed. 'Thero will bo no such interferenco, no matter how strongly it may bo urged by persons who, in ordinary political matters, are rogarded as frionds of the Administration. Thero is at this time & remarkable struggle among the manufeoturers and donlers in spirits. Theeo are divided into two classes : tho honest and tho dishonest. The dishon- cst are just now in troublo; an honest and vigilant Secrotary of the Treasury, sustained by an honest and vigilant Attornoy-Goneral, propoees to ndminister the RMevenno Iaws in the interest of the Government, and, not in tho intorest of & fow dishonest revenuo offi- cers. Taxes ore levied for public revenus, and not for tho bonefit of Collectors, Store. keepers, Gaugors, rectificrs, and distillers ; and where these violato the law, resorting to bribery and corruption, and to forgery and falso swearing, thoy aro to be prosecuted and punished as any others committing criminal acts. The second class of those engnged in the manufacture and sale of Apirits are those who do an honest business, pay their taxes, and neither buy or sell fraudulently. The tax on whigky is 90 conts a gallon. Tho profit on whisky which dishonestly escapes taxation, after paying tho ebarcsto the revenne officors, in nbout 55 conts por gallon, or 856560 on 1,000 gallons. When whisky is mado and sold by tho inillions of gallons, the loss to the Gov- ormment nud tho incomo of the dishonest ofllcials and the profits of tho operators ns. sume gigantio proportions, The tax on a million of gallons of spirits is $900,000, If thiy tax bo evaded, the division of the plunder is: to the corrnpt revenua of- ticers, $350,000; to ‘tho digtillers or rectifiors, $550,000. The man who can manufacture whisky which sells at whole- eulo at $1.16 por gallon, and pays no tax ex. cept an average of 35 conts to the revenue officors, has a decided ndvantage over the honest manufucturor, who solls at the same prico and pays tho wholotax. e has a mar- gin of G5 cents a gallon, on which ho can commend the market to the exclusion or loss of the honest distiller. The man who pays 1,000 for ravenue stamps, and can so handlo them as to cover ton thousand gallons of splrits, can control the market at an immenso protit, to the exclusion of the manufactarer who uges stawmps gallon for gallon, as he solls tho whisky, Honco thero is a nntural and very serions struggle between tho man who honestly stamps overy gollon he makes nnd solls, and the man who poys taxes on only ono gallon in ten that he sgells, In this instanco the Govornment is called upon to take sides with tho honest diatillers, who malke andsell threge fourths of the whisky and pay taxcs honestly thoreon, or with the dishonest fraternity, who put upon the markoet, perhaps, ono-fourth of the whole amount of whisky mnnnfactured in the country, and zay no tax thereon, Tho one class do an Nraest, logithnate business, aud contrib- uto the full sum of tho tax to the Treasury; tha other clagsdon dishonest, illogitimate buai- nass, including tho corrupiion of tho Fedorat officers, and pay no tax to the Government, ‘the Govermmont hus to choose which of tleso classca it ghall protoct, and which it sholl suppress and break up, and the Scere. tary of the Treasury has mado his selootion, and proposes to uphoald the honest distillers, In that decision he will have, a3 we lave atated, the earnest and unlimited support of tho Prosident. While the whisky frauds have become ap- proximotely es extensive as they wero in Axpexw Jomvsox's timo, o like system of dls. honesty has been estaylishod in the oustoms revenues, Wholosale smuggling has been carriod on in that sorvice for saveral years, and with the connivance of corvapt and dis- honest revenue officers. The New York Custom-House has verified the character given toitsome years ago by several New York merchants, who declared on oath that they would not knowingly have id thelr em- ployment vy of the pisons amployed in : e et 118 A LR ; S EEETEEEEEEESSSSEEEEEEEE—S e —————————————— = _——_—_——e— . T e T e e e that Custom-Houso. Tho revelations of the widesprand dishonesty in both Dranches of the ravenue fervice aro duo to an honest effort by the Treasury Dopartmont to collect the rovenue. In the ona cnso the frauds not only deprived the QGovernmeont of ita lawful revonue, but gave the dishonest importer an immenso advan. tage over the honest merchants, 8o, in the otlior case, the frauds robbed the Govern. ment of its revonues, and gavo the dishoneat distillers an advantago over tho honest ones, The revelationa avo in the interest of ravenuo and integrity, and the action of the Treasury Departmont will commend itself to every houest merchant aud distiller and to every honeat man in the conntry. CITY TAXES. Whetber or not the unlawful canvass of the fraudulent returns of tho charter eloction shall bo sct aside, it will be the duty of the Common Council all the same to mnko tho appropriations for the City Government for the current fiseal year, and to fix the tax- lovy. This must ba done between now and tho 30th of June noxt. Thero is no other public event in which the property-owners of Chicago hava so vital nn interest. The con- dition of the Custotn-House, the rnid upon the Whisky Riug, the Presidential elec. tion, and all national politics, sink in. to insignifieance by comparison, The question of city -taxation in Chiesgo at this time, end for some years to como, in. cludesthe otherwisa greater questions wheth. er or not the present property-owners can hold their property, whethor foreign capital shall or shall 1ot continue to seel investment in Qlicago, and whethor the commercial and property interests of the city shall thrive or go backward, Evary property-holder and honest tax-payer in Chicago foels the full jm. portanco of this matter in the bearings which wo have indicated. ‘Wao desiro {o make an enrnest appeal to the Common Council on behalf of the proporty- owners to view the matter in the samo light they view it, There is nothing to be gained by disguising the fact that n great proportion of Chicago property-owners aro groaning and staggering under tho weight of large mortgages, high rates of insurance, and excessivo taxation. This is trno pot only of that large class who have bought property for speculative purposes and are carrying it nt high prices to tido over the slirinkege inci- dent to tho panio; it is also true of tho men who have long owned their property, and im. proved it at great cost aller the fire of 1871, Thero is o clnss of improved property in cer. tain locations, such as Wabash avonue from Monroo street south to Sixteenth, and parts of Fifth avenue, which drags along with searcely enough incomo to pay the insurance and taxes, without counting the interest on the incumbrances it carries. There is other wunimproved proporty on the bost streets in tho city, whera the buildings could bo readily rented at good prices, which remaing unim- proved becauso its owners cannot incur the high insurance and increased taxation, in ad- dition to the intorest on the investment, which improvements would necessitate, All these conditions, unfortunato ns thoy are, must bo looked squarcly in the face. The business of Chicago is growing steadily and largely with every year. There is no troubla in this regard. But it is not yet grown up to the onlarged business district. ‘Wo lave yot to make ourselves wholo on the losses of the great fire and the shrinkage of the panic, Thero are yet many men who must ba given a fair opportunity to recoup, or thoy must go to the wall. There is mot o single property-owner in the city who does mnot feel that he is paying moro taxes than he can afford to. AMnny have been forced to tax-fighting who would not otherwise have resorted to it, and many others have permittod thoir property to be gold for taxes, with the dismal prospect of rodesming it at some future day at inoreased oxponse, Tha Common Council must contemplate theso things and give ear to the lament of the tax-payors, If necossary, our public improve. monts must come to a standstill fora time ; thoy are already in advance of our necessitios, The Comptroller's estimates for the appro- printions rednco those of the departments $1,800,000 ; but even after this reduction he proposes to raise §56,277,820 for the curront oxpenses of tho Oity Government, This is quite enough. The Council ought to lap off still more. To raiso this smount of money, and limit taxation to tho nominal rate of 16 mills, the Comptroller hna been obliged to propose that tho taxablo valuation of tho proporty be <ncrensed $27,000,000, This is an incrensa of 9 per cent. Such an incronse is proposterous in the faco of nctnal shrinkage of from 10 to 83 per cont in the productive value of tho property, More- over, tho proposition is puerile; it is merely cutting off at ono end to tack on at the other, It must be remembered that, in addition to this tax of 5,277,820 for the cnrront ex- pensos, every property-owner pays a.State tox, ncounty tax, ntown tax, a park tax, a pork nsscasment, and spocial assessments for local improvementa, Tho very enumeration of thom is oppressive, a The Common Council must listen to rea- son in this mntter. The interosts of overy moember of that body are involved in the quostion, it the Aldermon can be made to np- procinte tho fact, Thoss members who own proparty and pay toxes have o'direct intereat; thoso who do not, must Inow that every blow aimed at Chieago will fall upon them in ono way or another, Bome pressure must bo brought to bear upon these gentlemen to induce them to cut down. From this thme on, no tax-poyor should pass an Alderman in the strost whom he knowa witlout stopping him, buttonholing him, and improssing upon him the absolute nocessity of rotrench. ment, “Tho property-owners must arouse and work in their own interest, Lot the Court-Houso building ba lketrise poatponed. Tho clty's part of this work can only be done by dircot taxation, the limit of our lawful indebtedness having already boon reachod. Tho proporty-ownors cannot now build & Court-Houso, paying for it as it progresses, and at the same time fmprova thelr own property or carry the property which they fave already improved on borrowed money. If the Court-House goos up, there aro numorous private im. provements that must bo doforred. Buch an incresso in taxntion will also clog the progress of tho city in its commercial and industrial intorests, When taxation reaches this point it is o serious mattor, Bufdlent local patriotism must be infased into the COommon ‘Council to approciate it} and every oitizen should mako it his individual doty to put forth some effort in this di. raction, ee— The communication "which appeared in Tus Taiounx yesterday signed * Economy,” upon ** Gredustion-Day Extravagende,” con. taing 8 plain homs buth which eanngd by TCRIIRTTN R s, S ITUNRO R sy brought bofore the publio with any too much force or persistenco. Iis complnint touches tho extravagance which attends tho graduation dresses of young Indies from the High and Normnl BSchools, and le might Dhave ndded with equal pro. prioty the private seminaries of this city. There aro many peoplo of poor monns who send thefr children to the High School, and of average means who send their chil- dren to the seminarios, to whom thisrage for extravagant dressing is always n distressing problem, and thers are many who wonld like to patronize the sominaries but are deterrod by the fact that they cannot afford to pay the "tuition aud then lavish Inrgo rums upon their daughtors for dress and trimmings overy tima an examiuation, exhibition, or graduation oc cors, We can assure {ho teachers both of publio and private sehiools that the publie wonld hnil with delight avy movemont on their part to corroct this unnecessary and very absurd dress oxhibition, It is ontirely within their power to do so. It cannot be expocted that the children themselvos will over romedy it. Now and then there is a young Jady who hing tho moral cournge to ap- peax in plain and neat attiro ; but, na a rule, if one dreases oxtravagantly the grent majority ara bound to rush intothe rame extravagancs, ‘The teachers, howaover, can institute a roform, aud ought to doso. THE CHARTER IN THE COURTS. The cilizens who have entered into tho crusnde ageinst the repenters and ballot-box stuffers in the effortto have tha so-called election of * Dlack Friday” daclared illogal and void, hinve not boen dismayed by the cowbined afforts of the City Government, a majority of tho Inw-officors, nnd the services of thoso legal gontlemen who nchieved the unenvinble distinction of advising a violation of & temporary injunction of the Circuit Court, Their counsel Liave now covered the whole ground, and prepared (o contest the issuo ot overy point, They Lave filed bills in both the Cireuit and County Courts, in addi- tion to the guo warrante procoedings in tho Criminal Court, If there is any force to tho Election Inw, overy means bas been talkon to establish it, The Courts will be inclined to give every Intitudo to the partics who have ssorificed their private time and business to expose and’ combat tho profossional ballot-box stuffers. It o titho of tho alleged irregularities and frauds can be demonstrated in court, the im. portanco of the issue involved will lead the Courts to sot tho so-called eloction nsido, ‘The whole quostion of tho honesty of the clections, tho integrity of the ballot, and avon the right of suffrage, is involved in this issuo, If it shall bo provenin court, as wo believe it will be, that the Election law was openly and purposely disrogarded, and that theviolation of its essantial provisions oponed the way for the illogal votes which gave s nominal majority for the charter, the Courts will ba compelled to sot nside the result of the {raudulont vote, Not to do 50 would ba to give the sanction of the Courts to illegal elections for all fature time. The Election Inw would be o dond letter on the statuto- boolts, and might ns well bo blotted out, "Thero will be no effort in the futurs to hold clections in complianca with tho law if this chartor-eloction b permitted to stand. No ponalty will attach to the violation of the Inw, and thero will bo no restraint upon thoso whose interest it is to afford opportunitics for repeating and stufing the ballot-boxzes. To sustain this elaction, atier proof of the violation of the law and the frauds conse- quont upon this violation, will bo to give nolico that eloctions herenfier will depend upon the enorgy and expertness of ballot-box stuffing, and that honest men moy hereafter regard thowselves as practically disfranchisod. Theso considerations ought not and eannot fail to exort an influence upon the action of the Courts in the construction,of the case now before them, 4 ‘We supggest that, inview of the alarming Toports which are comiug from sl quarters wost of us of the swarming of the locusts oud of the ravages already begun and of thoso to bs expected, the Board of Trade appoint o Commission of two or three com. potent and respectable porsons to visit the frontier on which these inscets are reported to oxist, and report the actual factsof the case. They might also roquest that the Stats Entomologist act with the Commission, and give his valuable ald in an investigation which is of such importance, Tho calamity, it tho reporta raceived nro true, promises to be a sorious one, especially to tho peopls of the Btato of Ilinois and to the trade of this city, and the gravity of tho situation cor- tainly merits an investigation which ahall be disinterosted, truthful, and thorough, The oxponse, cormpared with the importance of the measure, willbe too inconsiderable to af- ford an objection, E3%oma montls ago it was announced by the newspapera, with o great deal of good-natured bantor, that & man named Kxery, of Philadol- phis, bad discoversd a new motor which would instantly superseds steam.

Some sclentista re- garded it an 8 gastric fover, while others thought 1t was of a malarial type, Both suppositions wore orronoous. This fover Lad boen very widely sproad somo years ago, and waa firat do- eenbed by William Butier—in tho yoar 1872, Languor, yellownoes of the skin, and a slight fever, which {acraased as evening came on, wero tho general symptome of tho discado, As tho fover advanced, dry pulss, prostration, and omacintion, becamo marked traits of tho malady. This was often accompauied by crganic and in- teatinal irritatlon, The lips and noso were fro- queutly affecied. The fover gonorally nttacked children from 8 to 7 years of ago, whilo the typhoid typo obiofly attacked thcso from 7 to 11 yesra old. A largo number of typhoid cases were observed in children botween 10and 11 yeara of age. CGreat care should be used in dioting tho patlents, as fnjnudicious food often caused o relapee.
