- THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MAY 36, 1875 —SIXTEEN PAGES Bave just been reported, and show that the total pumber of Killed was 31,425, and in-’ sared 5,050. Of the killed, England contrib- nted 1,175; Scotland, 211; and Ireland, 39. Of the injured, the numbers for England are 4,468 ; Sootland, 496 ; and Ireland, 86.

For insiance, the Press says: “ These gen- €lemen owe it to themselves that at least one jeolumnn of telegraphic Centenninl news shall appear daily in all the newspapers of the jOnited States.” Really, this is foo much. r.l‘hu Centennisl will come in good time, end ‘probably take care of itself.

Daring the last month the scientific warld has Jost three prominent men, whose deaths have mot been geperally poticed In the press. The first of thess ia the English Admiral, Sgzazp ‘Oss0RXE, One of the Arctic navigators the ‘past. He eniered the Royal navy at the age of 15, and sfterwards served on the East Iodis and Chins statiops until 1843, In 1849 he was a wolunteer in the expedition which in that yearlett England in search of the lost ships of Sir Jomx Fravzure. His zexl aud intrepidity in boat 2cd aladge expeditions, and in the exploration of the Arctio coasts of Melville Bay, were recognized by his appointment to the command of the Pioneer, which, in 1852, took part in a sscond snd more extended expedition to the same region. He served in the Black Sea during the RBussisn war, was at the bombardment of the Chinese forts in 1857, landed the English expe- ditionary force in Mexico in 1851, and suppressed ‘piracy in tno Chiness sexs in 1802, He retired oo half pay in 1864 He bhas long been o member of the Royal Geographical Bociety, and ‘was the prime moving cause of the resolution to it out the Alert and Discovery for the new Arctic expedition.

His earlier days wers occupied in geographical and hydrograpbical compilations i the form of maps, atlases, and charts. Abont 1834, he constructed s well-known silases of ancient and compara- tive geography. Oune of his first works of ster~ ‘Eng worth to the maritime world was the *Di- wectory for the Coasts and Ialanda of the Pacific . “Ocean.” In 1858, he commenced, and before his death accomplished, the groat work of preparing hissaries of *“ Nautical Directoriea™ for the ‘whole world, comprising nearly 6,000 pages, which are now acoepted as standard authority the world over.

AXDREW. JACKSON'S TN IERER BEDEUTUNG FUER DIE ENTWICRELUNG DER Dexo- CRATIE 1N DEN VEREINIGTEN BTAATER VON AMERIEA. Yon Dr. H, Vox Howsw, Professor au- der Univer- sitact Frelburg. - 5 It is not flatteriog to the American peopls that the few very gocd books on.. American politics and the tendency of Amerjcan institu- tions should have emanated from the pens of foreign wniters. No man ever passed s better, or more impartial, or more ssgacious, judgment on the workings of our political system than De Tocqueville in his * Democracy in -America.” Aud, since the days of Da Tocqueville, thero bas ‘besn no writer who has treated American subjects with anything like the ability of the present Professor of Americsn Histary in the University of Freiburg, Mr. Voo-Holst: The best testimony 10 the excellence of his book * Democracy and the Constitution " is, that, althongh it has been but a very short tima published, it is already s text-book in tho ‘original in. Yala University. Von Holst has every qualification to write the political history of this country. To & philosophic nd scientific cast of miod, he unites practical experience of the working of our institutions with all the proverbial laboriousness ana con- scientions impartiality of thereal German sa- vant. Americans will find much profound thonght on the circumstances that surronnd them in the work of Mr. Von Holat. If soy Pproof of this ia needed it is furnished by the pamphlet bofore us on the Administration of An- drew Jackson, and its significance in the dovel- opment of dsmocracy in the United Btates of- America. Mr. Von Holst considers the Adminis- tration of President Jackson as in more than one respect the most important epoch in the history of this comaotry. We msy mot all agreo with him when be says thst with Joha Quincy Adams the last statesman who for slong time should sit in the Presidentinl chair loft the White Houge. With Jackson, the crowd and the professional polticians, he says, ‘began their reign. Io Jackson's election he sée the triumph of radical democracy over modified democracy, The men who had preceded Jackson were men of high culture,. refined tastes, and .eome preten- sions to the scienco of statesmanship. Jackson h2d not, a8 Prof. Voo Holst rématks, learned the alphabet of statesmanship when ho was recom- mended by the Legialature of Tennossee for the Pregidency. The recommendation was a sub- Ject o much ridicule aud amusement in New En- gland, where people wera still somewhat ideatis- ticin their notions concerning the chief of & great nation. All they knew of Jackson was that he had been Senator from Tennessse,and that in debate his voice grew choked with passion. Morally, he had no control over himself; tellectually, he was undisciplined. True, be had been aJudge of the Suprems Court of Ten- messee; but this was at & time fwhen it was o8 important to be up to the tricks of the Indians, and to be able to taxe s good. aim &t them, 28 to ba versed in the law of the land. -The nation in Reneral waa acquainted with him as s successful and able General. Yet in the East it wasthought that the people had too much good sense to re- ward with'the Pretidoncy the hero of New Or- leans and of a few Indian battios, sut Jackson was 2 man of the people. He sprang from the masses, and belonged to the massea, Hitherto there were but two classes of the conntry that sought to obtain the upper hand in the Government,—thenlavoholding aristocracy in tho South, and the commercial and profes- sional Aristocrscy, or bourgeoise, in tho North. The grest mass of the poople confined them- selves to casting their votes for the candidates who sprang from these classes. Bot it was im- possible that the American plebs should not dis- cover that the ballot-box hed placed the pre- pondersnce of power in their Lands. The American State was founded on the asrumption that the people were made to rule; in the #peeches of political leaders it was maintained that they were. Dot the masses of the Americtn peopls had never yet asserted their power. The opportunity came to them with the candidacy of Aundrew Jackson. They advocated his election, not as the victorious General, but 23 the man of the peoplo,~the people’ choica. Muach to the dismay of New England, the Peunsylvania State Copvention, held on March 4, 1824, indorsed the nomination of the Leyisla- tare of Tennesses. Had there not been four candidates in the field, it is very probable that Jaclison would have been elected that year. But there were fopr,—Adams, Jackson, Clay, and Crawford. Neitber of them received the con- stitutional majority of electoral votes, and the election therefore devolved on the House of Ropresentatives. Clay was dropped here, Jack- #on had received 90 votes, and Adams 84, in the Electoral College. Clay east his influence for Adams, who was elected by the vote of thirteen States to oleven, saven of which last were given for Jackson and four for Crawford. Ths action of the House of Representatives waa the aignal for an outburst of indignation from the great mass of the people. Their will hed been ignored. Jackson had received a plurality ot votes, both of the Electors and of the people. Beveral of the States which had voted tor Crawford or Clay preferred Jackson to Adams. ‘The House of Representatives was accused of baving trampled on the will of the people. The people of tho country re-echoed the charge. The costitutionality of Adams’ election was not gquestioned,but its moral juatification was. It was claimed that the voice of the msjority should be respected aa the expression of the soversign will of the people. On this Prof. Yon Holst rightly remarks that the demand of the masses was in conflict both with the letter and tho spirit of the Constitution ; and that 1t was even an at- tempt at the sovoreignty of law itself. Its logic- sl developmect would be the makiog of the osprice of the majority, and eventually of s plurality, of ths peo- ple the supreme law of thelsnd. It wasthe negation of copstitutional governmont; for under s coostitutionnsl government tho will of the people is not always law, but only when it finds expression in the maoner prescribed by the Conetitution. The Constitation is the highest expression of the popular will ontside of the Constitution in revolution. - The action attending the election of Adams played a very important part m the election of 1828,—s0 much 60 that Benton characterized it @8 the triumph of the democratic principle over the theoryof the Coastitution. . On this princi- plo the election was made to turn. The grest massss of the people triumphed, and ths poli- tica of this country sssumed a new phase. The insuguration ceremonies wero & reflox of what had taken place in the nation. Tha compsny received by the President was made up of poople from the **highest and most polished down to the most vulgar and gross in the nation.” Jack- son, in his insuguration address, insisted on the necessity of reforms. Elections shouldno longer ‘be inflnenced by Government patronsge. What the Precident meant by “reform” @as not st first very clear to the minds of the people. Itwas mot long, however, before they discov- ered it. Jackson himsalf appears to bhave hsd s high opinion of ths importance of & good civil-mervice system. Bat cir- ‘oumstances had ® long timé besn tendiog towards s deterioration of the material out of which publie servants aro made. Hitherto those wha enfared the civil servico looked npon them- solves as having chosen a career for life. ‘A place in the public sarvice was henceforth to bo a roward for pubtical sarvices. The nocessity of rotationin offica was preached to the poople; 2nd officinl positions becama the booty of polit- ical agutators snd their clients. The good of the oountsy wae lost aight of. The "good of pacty and of the politianl friends of the Predi dent was alons eonsidered. As Von Holst re- marks, with Andrew Jackson'a Administration began the destruction of ali stability in the ad- n‘unlafntion of affairs. The whole political machinery, dowa to tho lowest offic in the gift of the Administration, was subjected to the fluc~ toations of the political current. The Capital prosented & sceme such : 88. it had never presented before, - but: which it has presentod many s time mince,~a scene of flattery, mervility, espionago, and intrigue, not unlike that of tho celebrated Courta -of Europo in the seventeenth and eightoenth cen- tories. For the firat timo ‘the now familiar doctrine *To tha victor belong the spoils” wis Prociaimed. For this doctrine Jackson has bean beld, responsible. "It lay, however, in the very nature of things ; and it was_ by mere accident that Jackeon's name becamo connectsd with it. The gualification for ofico became the espacity of helping party. Yet, in the constitation of bis Cabinet,* Jackson paid little ‘attention to party coneiderations. The grest merit of most of the Cabinot was their opposition to Clsy. Jackson's character is rightly astimated by onr suthor. He could brook no opposition. He al- waya felt sure he was right, and equally surethat thosd who disagreed with him ware not honest in their opposition. In his political, o8 in his mili- tary career, lie divided sll meninto two classes, —friends and epemies. Those who were not for him were against him, He wasstronglyattached to bis friends, and made their cause completaly his own. He was a bittor enemy. He could not always distinguish the important from the unim- portant, nor draw the line between political and social life. Whatever he undertook he worked at with all Lis might, and ‘never gave up a thing once begun until be had comploted it, nor began & new thing till the previous one was done. Howas guick in coming to ‘a decision, and his ovn person was the 1ait elemont in any consideration. His porsonal liking or dislike of & man dictated therule of his action towards him. It was next to impoasible to shake him in 'his opinion when he had once formed one. But until he had mado up his mind on & subject, he was 08 BOft &8 wax in tho bands of s clever man. Von Holst thinks that since the dasa of Louis XIV. the maxim L'elal c'est .moi hag not found & ‘more ingenuons expression ‘n any man than in Andrew Jacksgn, with th6/difference..of course, that the latter was a. Republican, whils tha for- mer was Je grand monarche, Jackson was the typical can.. . *The in- stinets of tho masses were' tho 'support of his political views, and Lis aim the gratification of thoso inatinets, - The foros of bis will gave them fallswing.” . Story spid, with refarence to him: *I confess that I feel humilisted at the truth, which cannot ‘be disguised, that, though we live under tha form of a Bepablic, we are, in fact, under the absoluto rule of s single man.” P The question of the United States Bank was the grent question in the Presidential election of 1832 Bat here, too,-Jacksonand tho people wero one. In hs veto inessago he had appesled to them on the subject in a maoner which could not fail to have great effect. The exclusive privileges of tho Bank tad = tendency, ho said, to make the rich richerand tho poor poorer ; and much of the same ‘sort. His opponents were short-sighted enough to givo the veto message the widest possible ciroulation. He had struck the chords of the popular heart, and received 219 eloctoral votes, while Olay reccived only 49, His ro-clection, of course, sesled the fatoof tho Bank. Space doea not allow us to enter into the minnti® of the trials and conflicts of Jackson duriog his second term of office, as portrayed by Prof. Von Holst, .. Bosidee, they are sufficiently familiar to our readers. We have been forced to satisfy onrselves with exhibiting what the learned writer says of the significance of his Administra- tion, and its bearing ‘on'tho development of re- ‘publican institutions... Noonoman was sucesssor to the inflaenca wield- ‘ed by Jackson. . The masses of the people wers tho heir of his power. - Sinco bis time, the pow- er bas been in'the hands of the people 2 it nev- er was before. 1t is undeniable, saya Von Holst, that, beginning''with' his Administration, the Government out of the hands of a fow men of statesmanlike visws, and confided it to the caro of an evor-incressing number of profec- sional politicians . from overy rank of society. The consequence of this is that little interest is taken to-day by ‘many of.the best men fn tho country in politics. Whatever may be thought of Andrew Jackson perzonslly, it is certain that the maxim Which bas obtained currency sinco his dny—that to the vietor belongod the spoils—bas done much to fcster the corruption in public aftairs from which wo have saffered. and out-of which it is o easy thing tosee our way. Prot. Von Holst deserves the thaoks of the American people for his excellent wark on * De- mocracy aod the Constitation.” Americans ara not, perbaps, impartial judgesof their own histo- 1v.

Weekly Review ot the Loeal Market. A Better Tone and Increase of Kego- tiations Noticeabie. So'mg Recent Large Transfers of _ State Street Property. The General Situation of the Loan Mar- . ket Unchanged. ‘How to Make Wabash Avenue & Profit- able Thoroughfare, THE MARKET. THE EEAUTIFUL WRATSER OF THE PAST WEEK has had the effect of engendering some life in the real-estate market, but while: a better tone and sn incrense of negotiation is noticesble, there i8 no soch marked increaso in the volume of transactions, The bears still hang on the market, but holders are stubborn, and the conse- quence of the lock ia a continued dullness. The Real-Estale Journal is of the opinion that hold- ers are foo obstivate. It says: ** There xre other pointa beside Cook County whera mooey can ba made in land, and s portion of that which can be secured to this section by a moderste lowering of pricées may drift away if owners do not yield a little.” . THE PRESENT CONDITION OF AFFAIRS, however, can hardly last, and holders are prob- ably acting upon juster business considerations than the bears. It ls pot improbable that the statns of the market will before long bs changed by an nfluz of capital. The great plethora of capital which now exists in all the money centres will be apt to seek relief by investment in real- |- tv. Capitalists who formeily used their funds in business aocommodstions are now casting about for safs and profitable inveatments, and the condition of the resl-estate market presants opportunities that can bardly be neglected. ' ‘But if the real eetate speculators cannot buy, they can dicker, and in this class of transactions there is an active business.. Owners of incum- berod city proporty are endeavoring to unload by exchanging for outside lots: owners of farm- lands are seeking aubarbam or city property; suburban owners are endesvoring to trade for city lots, and among them A PRIBK MOVEMENT 18 GOING O, copstituting with some dealers all the business thas is doing. Measrs. Elliott & Ulm, who came Tero last Winter from Des Moines, have alresdy worked off in this way most of their Iowa lands for suburban lots. But while there is no speculative activity to record, the market ia in a healthy condition and there is & fair smount of business done. There ia considerable inquiry for acre property enitable for subdivision, and with incroased ac.ivity in the goperal dopartments of trade, s brisk de- mand for small suburban hoidings is anticipated from buyers on periodical payment contracts. 1f the discoveries of coal on the Calumet turn out to be as valuable 25 seems probable, s great stimulus will be given to the development of that section. Theve is as present a good deal of NEGOTIATION FOR SUBUBBAN PEOPERTY. and a fair,amonnt of business waa done furing the week. A number of suburban improvements are noted. The Board of Trustees at Lake View havo at 1nat determined to erect the water-works which have beea under discussion eo long, xod it is proposed to issue bonds for 2100,000 for the pur- ose. * b A movement i3 on foot, and is almost consum- mated, to raise $20,000 by subscription of prop- erty-owners to carry s water-main out to Central Perk and beyond- to tho city limits. The main will be Jaid from the corper of Falton streot and California avepue to Kedzie street, thence to Loke street and along Lake to the aity lLimits. A5 800D 2s the water-rentals pay 15 per cent. the amonnt is 1o be refunded to the city. AXOTHER MATTER io which dpmbuty-ownou at Central Park are 1nterested is getting o stroet-ratlway out there. Thae West Stde Railway is williog to Iay tracks that distance if a viaduct is_thrown across the tiacks of the Daaville & Vinceones and North~ ‘western Rosds. A condition on which right-of- way into the city was grantéd to the Danville & Vincennes Road was, that it should build this vinduet when required, but the Northwestern is ‘bound by no auch requiroment, and the Danvil & Vincennes hold back on the ground that s duct over ita tracks will be nseless unleas ont put scross the Northwestern Road. iz —— SPECIMEN .SALES. !

THE RECORD OF REAL-ESTATE INCUMBERANCES filed the past week extends only over five days, Enlmdl! being observed as a pablio kolidsy by our patriotio public afficers. This fact sccounts in some measure for the pancity of the figures in the statement below. The general situation is unchanged, plenty of money, but few good loans, and s downward tendency in the rate of interest. Loan sgents say that the npast week hasbeen the dullest known for & long time. There {8 & general feeling of unessiness on the psrt of Eaatarn capitalists with regard to the secunty on which their loans are based, and an impreasion that real estate has been rated at too high & fizure. There may be.some grain. of truth ip thia impreesion, but at the same time wa beg to remind our Eastern friends that we ara paying off our past incumbrances &t s very Tespectable rate, as a reference to our columos of the past few weeks will prove. Building loans are most in dsmand, and we hear of one negotiation in progress to-day for 20,000 at 9§ par cent and 234 commission.

FLATS TO BE SUPERSEDED. 8t. Louis thinks she has found a plan for city regidences better and cheaper than flats.

Buburban real estate has been generally in- active this spring, both on account of the uo- favorable westber and the dullness of business; but for & week or two past, ns the weather be- came gettled, thore bas been s vary apparent change in business of all kinds, and especually in real estate. The demands for auburban property have been quite active, and especially st Sonth Evauston, on account of its easy access and ths comforts and facilities there afforded. In con- gidoration of these demands, ssveral prominent property-holders’ have de- cided to baild sbout twenty-five pew and commodious houses. Amoog these are Warrcn Eeeney & Co., who will baild four houses: Jobn A. Elliott four, B. M. Austin seven, H. F. Getchell & Son two, Tillotson Bros, two, J. B. Adams two, T. F. Wheeler two, and L. C. Pitoer ove. Theose houses will be staried early in June and finished this fall, and when when completed will £¥/ve to add many new peo- Ela to this rapidly growing suburb. Soth vsaston bas grown to bs one of the best of Chicago's auburbe, on account of its meny and substantial improvements, and in the future will undonbtedly retain the prestige gaied in the ast two or thres yoars. Those who are about Ea build are all substantial and energetic men, and wo bave their best assurance that the work will be rapidly pushed to_completion. and, ere winter come aguin, South Evanston will bear an altogether new appearance. WABAGT AVENUE is, just at present, s phenomenon in real estats. A magnificent street, one of the great thorough- {fares botween the business and residence quar- ters of s motropolis, now runa batween two long piles of blackened ruina. Property on it is worth less than half of what it waa in 1871; owneraare afraid tobuild; the future eharacter of the street is uncertain; and s eale uoon it is & rara avis. This unfortunate state of things should continue no longer. Thers is one, and only one, use to which ' the streat can be pat, for ome time to come. It capnot be profitsbly built up with wholeeale stores, for tho supply of theserin the resl business quarter is not below the demand. Thers is mot s suficint resident population near at_haud to support a strest of rotail usrters. ‘The one edvisable thingisto build blocks of small dwellings with s fow fine seta of flate. If this is done, and if the street is ropaved and the borse-railway laid, Wabash avenus property will again pay good frents, instead of yielding ooly taxea. THE PALMZRE HOUSEZ.
