Brutow will re- main sovoral days in Lonisville, [ The Ohio Ropublican State Convention meats at Columbus to-day. If we tny judgo from the tone of the dispatches from the Ftate Capital, the nomination of Ilaves for Giovernor i8 almost a foregone conclusion, It appoars that he has a large following in tha Convention, and, although he has de- elinod to bo a candidato a3 against TarT, the only other prominent candidate, the majority of the delegates will, it is said, porsist in placing him at the hend of tho ticket. . Vico.President Wrusox yestordsy passed through Ghiengo, stopping for a fow hours at the Grand Pacific Hotel, and leaving for home on the 5 p. m. train. o was looking extremely well, his health having greatly im- proved by his swing 'round the circle. He expresses himself as mnch pleasod with his roception at the Sonth, whorehe met with the henitiest hospitality and the warmost good will, Of course, ho wns well recoived in the North, and he roturns home the better in mind und body for hig extended tour, Mr. Pamir Wanswonti is underatood to have determined upon resisting the efort to obtain his resignation, and will, it is said, etick to tho Collectorship of the Firat Dis. triot under tho Tonure-of-Office act, wheroby he can be merely suspended, but mot removed, until his successor shall have been appointed by the Proxident and confirmed by the Benate, This course, it appears, has been advised by power- fal political friends, and it {s hinted that ome or both of tho Ilinols Senators will nstain Mr. Wapswonre in tho matter, and that an sttempt will be made to keep him in office by forming & combination to defeat the confirmation of his successor, Ar ‘Wapswontet has many friends who sympa- thize with him in the present misfortune, and who retain for him undiminished respect and rogard, but it 18 doublful whothor he will greatly improve hls standing in the commu- nity by hanging on to an office which he has been requosted to vacate, Another hitch occurred yesterday in the negotiations with the Blonx Chiefs for the sbandonment of thelr hunting-grounds in portions of Nebraska and Wyoming., The treaty, which doos not include the Black Hills country, had beon drawn up in accord- ance with the views of tho Chiefs, who woro to rocoive £25,000 in presents as a recom- ponso for their assent to the arrange- ment, when thoy suddenly chenged thoir minds and vefused to mign the document. Thess artless children of the plaing higgled for a bettor bargain after the fushion of civilized dry-goods oustomers, and Xep Oroup even manufuctured a little dramatio pathos for the occasion, invoking tho aid of the Groat Bpirit in regular utage style, Whon they becomo conviucod, os they counsel together as to the plan of action hest caleulated to successfully contend ngainst whot they, in oll wincerl. ty, regard as the ginnt curse of tho ago in America; and all good people will wish them such suceess ns is possiblo of attain. ment by united, intelligent effort. A notable fentura of yesterday's session was the brief address of ITexny WrsoN, Vice-President of the United States, who is s tempernnce mnn Lotl in theory nad practice. There was also n letter full of sympathy aud encouragement, and some extravagant expressions withal, from tho Hon. Scuorier Corrax. The per- manent organization of the Convention was effected, and the remainder of tho day and evoning was ocoupied with addresses by noted tewperaneo advocntes, nmong them Dr. F. R, Lers, of England, and Dr, N, 8, Davis, of Chiengo, the latter reading n paper on aleohol from the medical and chemical standpoint, a featuro of tho temperance ques- tion to which ho has devoted much attention and inveatigntion. Tho Convention will re- main in session severnl dnys, ‘WHAT 18 TO BE DONE WITH THEM ? ‘The discovery and exposuro of the whisky and other frauds on tho revenue have been followed by the most vigorous efforts on the part of the Trensury Depnrtment to purify the Civil Servico of every officer direetly or indireetly, presently or remotely, implicated i the frands, or in any ey responsible therefor, In these efforts, tho Seerctary of the Trensury has the earnest snpport and co- operntion of tho Prosidont, Iothof these officors have declared open war upon all frouds npon the revenus, nud unsparing rigor in tho prosecution of all persons guilty thereof., They proposa to viudicate the law by the prosceution of all who have violnted it, and the enforcement of the Iaw to the suppression of fraud and the full col- Iection of the revenue. Tho Administration could do no less than this withont being false to its legal and mopal responsibilitics to the people. It cannot tolerate or permit a viola- tion of tho Revenuo laws without becoming responsible for the crime; nor is the situa- tion in tho lonst changed when some of the offonders, caught in the very act, prove {o be mombera of the Republican party and undor tho special protection of gontlemen Ligh in tho conftdenco of that party. But the averago politician docs not take that view of tho question. Ho locks upon all things as subordinato to perty success, and it is this sacvifico of truth, law, and jus. tico to supposad party policy that doea more to injure, defent, and deatroy o party than anything elsa. Hence, already thae ordinary and average local politicians all ovar the country and within tho cirelo covered by the operations of the whisky frauds have reached tho conclusion—that is, n large number of thom hava—that to prosecuto thoe distillers, rectifiors, Gaugers, Storekaepers, baokkeepers, Supervisors, and others concerned in theso frauds, will bo to excite an opposition to tha party emong a very large and influontial class of persons, The argumont is, that, in o mnjority of the Congressional districts in many of tho Btates, the distillers and rec- tifiors, and thoso conneoted with them in varions woys, commercially and financially, exercise a controlling political power; that they sre able to elect or defeat mombers of Congress; that thoy can control the choleo of legislators, and thus soat or unsent Sen- ators; that these men can always bo dopend- od upon for large moucy contributions for election purposes; that their friondship and wupport are valuable to tho party; and that their support will natarally bo given to that party which befriends them, and their oppo- sition to that party which proseoutes or socks to convict them of crime, To this argumont is addod that tlfcso distillers and roctifiors aro nll willing to pay & portion at lenstof tha taxes they may have withheld, and that itis DLetter for the Government to get a considora- Dlo part of its rovenue and compromise with them, than to allenate such nn influential and wealthy class by pushing criminal prose- cutions, This is the general plen of tho smnllfry Congressmen of both parties, and of tha whole tribo of oftice-holders and offico- soskors who think that auy action which may hove the offect of weekening the * party " is to bo avolded nt whatovor sacrifice of law and duty by the Govornment, We think, however, that no more sufeldal policy was ever adopted or practiced. If the Republican party can only hope to retaln its ascondenoy in the country by conniving at frauds on the revenue, by keoping dishonest or negligent mon in ofice, and by compro. mising crimes with dishonest men, then it is high timo that the pegple should thrust the Republican party out of power ns faitbless to its trust and as corrupt beyond redomp- tion, The great mistake theso people make ia In thelr esthnate of who constitute the Re.’ publican party, The twe or threo hundred mon in the Benate and the Housa of Ropre- seutatives, the soveral othor hundrods of Col- lectors and Postmasters and rovenno officors, cnch intent on his own aggrandizement, the fow scores of starveling nowspapers whose “influcuce” is for sale for any purpose, from tho support of candidates for Constnble to the plundering of public troasuries to keop up a bankrupt bank,—theso, and their hang- slortly will, that tho Government s not likely to increase thie amounnt of the gratuity offered, they will doubtless forgot all about the Great Bphit, take the presedts, and go off and get gloricusly drunk at the first op- portunity, The Chicago produce markets were gencr. ally steady yosterday, with o rather light sggregate of transsotions, Mess pork was dull and 10@10c per brl lower, closing at £10.70 cash, and §10.00 for July, Lard was dull aud 200 per 100 s lower, at $14,10 cash oud §14.40 for July, Alsate were quiot and ers-on and depondents, affoct to conatitute tha Republican party; when, in polnt of fact, they are tho dond wood which the Republican party has to carry, to its grave Joss and fro. quent discomfliure. Each and all of theso mca, from the highest to the lowest, might Le dropped out of political right, and the party would be purer, stronger, and abler oftlcerod than beforo, These men regard the party s & mere meochine for their benefit they uot on the maxim, **After us, the deluge.” But the Republican party has other purposes to scoomplish, has higher motives to govern | it, and bas duties and obligations upon the THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY. JUNE 2, 1875. foithful performanca of which depend the perpetuity of publio lberty and free instl- trtions, “ Tho Ttepublican party s national in ils membership. It cmbraces a large majority of tho people. It depends for its existenco nud success mot upon the contingoncy that certain men hald offico, but upon the faith and confidonce of the people that the men it places in offica aro honest, kinvo clonn hands, linve pure motives, aud are competent and foithful in the discharge of the dutics of the various branches of tho Government. If it woro posaible for the Administyation to kuow every man in the publio servico who is incom- petent or dishonest, and should substitute for him somo other person who i both compe- tent nud honest, and thus give nssurance to the country that the Government was wisely and houestly administered in every detail of all ita branches, it would command the suf- frages of tho vast majorily of tho American prople. No party can retain power which does not possoss tho confidones of the people, aud no party can possess the confidence of tho peo- plo which directly or indircotly tolerates or connives at frauds on the revenue, or retnins in oflico mon who aro partners or under the pay of the violators of the Rovenue law, The Administration has unearthed a gigantie fraud lnving its ramifications nll through the coun- try ; it holda tho evidenca not only of fraud, but of forgery, perjury, bribery, and robbery. It hina the criminala in its grasp, and for the Government now to hesitate or falter, or to make termns with tho thieves, is to enablo its opponents to procinim tho Republican party to be n more organization for the plunder of tho public,—a mere organization to promote crimo and protect the criminals, and, ns such, wholly unworthy of public coufldence, and o disgrace and dishonor to the country. ANprew Jonson gove froo licenso to tha whisky men,—gave them severnl yenrs' ex- emption from taxation; lot the Republiean party profit by the lesson which the people ndministered to that policy and the party who supported him. The President and the Bocrotary of the Troasury are pursuing the right policy, They aro extirpnting the thieves, official and un- ofticinl; and the prosecution of the criminals to conviction and punishment will do the party more good with the people than all tho support it could got from rovennc-robbers multiplied a thousand-fold. CRIME AND FLOGGING, Tha troatment of crimo is experimental at the bost. Tho renl purpose of punishing of- funses against publio sifety or morality is to restrain and to prevent a repotition of the of- fenses, Tho system which most completely attaing this purposo is tho best. In civilized times and countriesit is neeessarily modified by himano and cconomie considerations, and humavitarionism has somotimes so far pre. vailed as to defeat the real purposo of punish- ment. Socioty doos not hang a man on the ancient sentiment of revenge, Wae no longer exnct an oye for an eye and n tooth for n tooth, But tho false impression thatit is this sentimont which sustains capital punish. ment hos led certain communitics to abolish it. It i8 a practioal question, to be determined by comparative punish. ments, whether Lumon life i3 as safo whoro thore is no capital punishment ns whore the murderer is g0 disposed of that ha can murder no more, and where his fate atands as a warning to all othora murderously inclined. 'Thore is no evidence that tho peo- plo of Delaware, whore the whipping-poat is retained, aro move cruel by nature than other people, notwithstanding tho periodical ne- sanlts mado npon them whon their whipping- scenes aro enactad ; the retention of flogging almply indicates that thoy beliove thatitis the most effective detorrent of cortain crimes, It may be claimed that there is no reason why flogging na a punishment for criminala should be denounced by communities that ro- tain tho practics for disciplining ifwmature and refractory school-boys, The oxperienco of England with flogging eriminals i3 not only interesting, but is likely o be of great value to tho world. Formerly, Englsud carried the practice too far. Minor oriminals were flogged ot the tail of a cart by the publio executionor. There was the pillory with its accompaniments of noso-splitting, ond enr-cropping, and branding with hot irons. Civilization brought a reaction against guch practices, and the humanitariang suc- ceeded at last in having corporal punishments abolished altogether, with the exception of tho death-penalty for murder. But thore came nlso & ronction agninst this extreme ground. The crimes of violenco incrensed, and especially the crimo of garroting became so common that Parlinment found it necessary to give tho matter its spocial nttention. Bir Cuanrrs Appenuy socured the passage of an act, in spite of furious opposition, providing for the flogging of couvicted garrolers in ad- dition to the penalty of imprisonment. Gar- roting disappenred almost entirely under the application of this act, though the cases of ac. tual flogging, which was left partly to the dis- orotion of the magistrates, wore vory rare, Tt waa tha terror of being flogged which re- stralned the garroters, The effecta of this act wero found g0 salu- tary that the Justicps of England united, with two or thrae excaptions, in recommend- ing that flogging, under certaln restrictions, bo extended to other crimes against the per- son, and Mr, Cross has rocently introduced & bill in Parliament to carry out this rocom. mendntion, This bill roccives the npproval of the London Z¥mes, which says : ‘Theastontsling increase, & short U 80, of erime characterized by atroclous violence has set every ono thinking on the anbject, snd 14 soema clear emough that, 1f thess gross outragos are Lo be preveated, some. thing spproximating to the remedy which the Crim. 1ins) Consolidation acts abollshed must be restored, The schedule of My, Cnoss’ bill 18 sa framed as o fn- cfude most casce of aggravated sssault, and it willin fatuze be in the discretion of Judges, within certain 0t very oxpausive limits, (0 viait thess offouves, 1 sde ditlon 10 tho statatory pensity of penal servituds, with a definite degree of sevare corporal punishment, Such » measure {8 tho natural and neceusary sequel of the act whlch sutliorizos the flogging of yarroterv, snd, if we remamber rightly, itd nucessity was foresesn long Leforethisspecial incidents of last year mads It 8 promi. neat tople, ‘The applieation of flogging to garrotors ‘was s temporary expediont in the firat place, but it hos worked 80 well that the desire to extond this form of punishment i natural, and the rosults of such an extension will be watchod with intercat., A small fine, or & brief term of imprisonmont, does not soem to be an adequate punishment for such brutal ussaulta a8 ave comimitted every day in large cities; neither does it sppear to act as a doterront of these violent crimes. If ju. dlelous flogging ahall serve to diminish this closa of crimes, even the most enthusiastio humsnitarian cannot reasonably object to its spplication, Another clalmant haa turned up in Bagland, The new Bir Roozn has beeu an lnmate of the St. Pauoras workhouse, to which he was sanb back by the mamster 30 whom Le was appronticed, becanso he did hia work nn strange way and declared himself entitled to tho Tionnonsk estates, Tho medienl officer of the workhionse proposed to send him to the insane nsylam, but his gaardinua docided that his master must take lim back. - The Pall Mall Gasctts thinks that lie ey yet do somothing handsomo by {ssning some Tion. nords bonds and getting another Kevraty, which mayjuiducs that portion of the English people not gulled by his predecessor to come down handsomely for the new impostor. SHALL TKE COURTS BE OBEYED P It is proper, in councction with the con. tempt proceedings agniust the Alderinen, to say that tho genoral public has an interost in the decirion that extends heyond the charler question. Tho injunction having been vio- Inted, the question whether the charter was or was not lawfully adopted must now ba de- cided Ly other proceedings, 'The rest ques- tion beforo Judge Wittiams at this time ls, whether the order of a competont Court may be disregarded with impunity by those to whota it {s directed, This question having beon raised, it is desirable that it should bo dotormined by tho highest tribunel in the State. There is only ono way in which the Supreme Court ecan have an op- portunity of passing upon the questlon, ond that is by the punishrient of the Alder- men in contempt, and of the atlorneys who gave them an opinion which they kuew would lend to & violation of the injunction. 1f Judge Wirrravs shall decido not to punish thesa persons cither by flue or imprison. ‘ment, there Is an end of this case; but there is n danger that ench a decision will be nc- cepted as & judicial notice to ovory manin the community that Lo mny violate auy injune- tion sorved upon him with perfect impunity {f ho can hire an attorney to give an opinion {hat tho Court had no jurisdiction; aud olso that any attorney may with perfect impunity give such anopinion, knowing that it will causo aviolntionof the injunction. Judge Wrirraus will assume a serious responsibility if he mnkes such n deoision, It will ben prece. dont that will lead toanarchy and law-break- ing. An orderof Court will thenceforth bo a mero verbal farce, unless accomnpanied with a poase of coustables or o regiment of soldiors 1o enforca it ‘Tho position which the Aldermon and their counsel oceupy in this community should rather strongthon Judgo Wititaxs in austain. ing the dignity of his Conrt than weakon him in the porformance of his duty. If mon, sitting in the Council Chamber, and Inwyers holding good positions in their profession, way set the example of nullifying o decrce of Court, nnd cscape tho penalties, others will not bo slow to follow. It must bo kept well in mind that thero was no injustice in this injunction, even if the Court had not jurisdiction, as is claimed by counsel for the Aldermen. 'The injunction was moraly tom- porary, and no intorest was suffering on ac. count of it, Ithada duration of ten daysat the very most, and might lisve boon disposed of still sooner if tho Council had desired. If the injunction was illegnl, there was na vendy ond easy way of lhaving it sot aside in o lawful 1amnner. This course was not adopted, and Locauss, wa con only think, thero was o beliof that tho Court could bo insulted first and dismayod aftorwards. Whatover tho ultimate decision may bo in regard to the actors in this case, we hope that the matter mny go to the Su- preme Court, which may then have nn op- portunity of giving a clear and distinot utterance that shall not leave judicinl docrees as footballs for men who have no concorn in the presorvation of our judiclal tribunals, Of courss, {f Judgae Wirrtraua should reach the conclusion that the injunction was void, ond that it was lawful to disregard it, he will so docide fearlessly. Dut should he find otherwiso, it is to bo hopod that ho will act aq foarlessly, undismayed by the storm which threatons him and the judiclary gonerally. THE EUROPEAN WAR-CLOUD, Tho statement of Lord Deony made in the House of Lords, rolative to the intorvention of England in the late Franco.German con. troversy, develops some important facts and brings out very clearly the real issue between Tranco and Gormany, The inmtervention of Eogland was mada upon the suggestion of tho Russian Ambassador ot London, and up- on the complaints of tha German ropresenta. tives at vorious European Courts that France was arming with & view to the carly resump- tion of war, Lord Demoy states that tho French Government has declined nll warlike intantiong, and that her only desive was to rocover her military position. There is no doubt that France wishes to recover hor military prostige which was lost in the recent war with Germanny, but that this Is a completo and satisfactory explanation of hor prosent operations is absurd; and to bellevo that Lord Denny looks upon it os such, his statoment to the contrary notwithstand- ing, doos not do credit to his intelligonce. Tho recovery of military prestigo is true, so far as it goes, but the French peopls contem- plate more than this in thele presont gigantio oporations. Their ultimate design is, after they bmve recovered the military position from which Gormany hurled them so snd- denly, to still further strengthon thomsolves and dictate to the other European Powers, Onco in this position, then they can trike nt Germany upon the elight- est provocation, This s the real motive of France in so largoly incroasing her army, which now outnumbers that of Germany; in manufroturing and acoumulating immensoe stores of arms ; in adding guns of the heavi- eat calibre to her artillory; in enlarging and strengthening hor forta; in oxtending the fortifications of Yoris far out jnto tho sub- urbs; in launching new and heavy iron-clad vossels; in putting her finances upon such a basis that she can borraw far future contingen- cleay and in flling her warehouses with pro- visfons, What con ell this mean except that Trance is determined to ba the military diotator of [Europe,: snd to revonge hersol? uwpon Gormany by hu. millating her in the field and taking ro- vengo for the disgraco of Sedan? She may declare that sho has no warlike intontions, Of course not now, beeausa sho is not ready, Germany is well enough nware of this, and is moking her proparations and incrensing her war armamontis propostionately. She will never be surprised by France. Tho attitude of the two nations, thorefore, I8 & coutinuul menace to the poace of Europo, ond, at the prosont rate of preparation, no ono can tell how soon war will como, notwithstanding Lord Denox's pacifio assurances that none of the French statesmen dealrs war, That war {s aa sare to come, whon France gots ready for it and feels strong enough to strike, as the sud is to risa. - The superhuman efforts of France in & military direction can be ac- counted for in no other way, To assert tha oontrary {a to sssert that Fronch men are not governed by the laws of humas nature which govern the resd of ihs people on this plangt, Tho remedy, however, fs a vory plain ons. Tt rosts with England, Austria, and Russin. These thres powertul natione can at any timo atep in betwoen Gevmany and Franco and domand that they shall quit; thnt they shall reduce tholr armaments and conaa their blustor and bravado towards cach other; thal they shall no Jouger jeopnrdize the pence of nil Europe with these gigantio wilitary proparations, If it {a nat dong, then war munt como before long. 1If it is done, poaco is assured, and both France and Ger- many can start upon A new enreer of pros. perity by devoting to their material rosonrces {ho cuergy aud the money they will squander in tha race for the military dictatorship, s e v s MORE CHIVALRY. "There is n gentleman in Dallag, Texas, by the name of Stoyy This gentleman belongs 1o tho Bouthorn chivilry, 1o lins his own notions about hiostor, and they are very peett- line ones, Reing ono of the chivalry, and hinving blue blood in his veins, be is occentrie in his likes and dislikes. For inatance, Mr. Srove dislikes to have orainary peoplo look at him. Moro than this, he wnnts plonty of room in his promenados, and no hurrying plebeian must jostle him or so mnch as rudely Drush past him, Stll more than this, Mr. Sron, of Dallng, Texns, does not like to be contradicted. 'To provent peaplo from look- ing at him, coming too near him, or contra- dicting him, Mr, Stone, of Dallns, Texas, Lilla thom, In order to kill succossfully, Mr. Srone has transformed himself into a mov. able armory. 1le enrries with bin a double- barrelod gun, a pair of six-barrelod pistols, nnd n bowie Inife, and he notifies the pcople of Dallos, Toxas, that he is o snan who kills, Sometimes, howover, it happens that strangers visit Dallas who are unaware of Mr. Hrone's eccontricities, nnd do not imme- diately observe that lie belonga to the South- ern chivalry, has blue bload, cto., and, as no public notice {s posted warning strangers of the danger of contradicting Mr. 8roxE, un- happy rosults now nud then occur. Of courwo, thoss who live in Dallas know Mr. Stone's sennitiveness and do not disturb him. But & fow days ago, there was a strangor in Dallas, and bis name was Opexoxarw, snd Onexonaiy dida't know Sroxe, of Dallas. He had never heard of his peenlinrities,~wns not awars that ho wns n type of Southorn chivalry, and therefore, of courso, did not know the etiquetto ho wans expected to observe towsrds Stoxe, of Dallaa. Tlhoy met ona avening., Stove, of Dallas, was in a ponsive framne of mind, Perhaps bis dinner did not set well, A plobeian mny hovo looked ot him. Whatever it may hinve been, StoxE, of Dallas, was unhappy, gloomy, and abstracted, and the people of Dallas, therefore, gave him a wide berth, for o had hig armory with him, nnd was accustomed to Xill some of tho prople when be felt in this mood. ‘The guileloss Opexonams, however, mudsill that ho wns, went betweon Stonrs nobility and the wind, litle dreaming of hig danger, Theroupon Stoxg, of Dallas, roworked, with n tono of tender regret, Y know I shall kill some fellow to-night.” This touching romark was soon nolsed abroad, and tho population of Dallas at onco sought sheltor in thelr homes, all but tho luckless Obexomary, who quietly remnrked that the “fellow"” would probably be noth- ing morae than & mosquito. Of course thero was nothing loft for Browz, of Dalles, to do but to kill OpeNoramy, which ho did prompt. ly by shooting him on the spot. Brone, of Dallas, theraupon breathed moro frecly.

THE OYOLONE AND IT8 WORK, The weathor reports have not yet resched perfection, They warn mariner and farmer of storms, and toll citics when to put on overconts and carry umbrellns. Bat the instrumenta used cannot yot rogister the oxaot intensity of the coming stincapheric disturbances, so that oceasionally, instead of the wished.for rain-storm which is to help the yonng shoota of corn above the surface of the earth, tho astonished farmer has just time to say *n blizzard, by gosh,” when a whirling oyclone takea corn, earth, house, farmer, and family into the noxt county. Blizzards—thls now word is the Granger aqnivalont for cyclone—are becoming alto- gother too common, on sca and land. Buffer- ars from them will take n mourntul pleasurein finding out all about them from the Popular Bcience Montldy for June. Mr. Jases Mack- mrosH, who writes the article in question, considers the cyclone as tho fundsmontal fact of meteorology, which explains winds, atorms,—ovorything, up to the creation of the whole solar aystem, Tho cyclone iteolt is & comparatively sim. ple phonomenon. Whon the alr nonrest the oarth bacomes heated, it rises through the colder ntrata above, But instead of sifting gradually up, it broaks through these strata in a wedgo-shaped column, This is bacause the upward prossuro ia too great to allow any slow movement, Tho column of hot alr whirla up and pours forth curronts of air into the higher ntmosphere, while other our- yonts rush in below to take its place, If thia woro o], the equilibrium wounld be quickly rostored, and the damage done wonld bo con- fined to on oxceedingly small aren, DBut this {snot all, When the whirling column has once been formed, it moves forward, sucking up the heated air noxt tho earth as it goes, 4o producing a commotion over a great sure face of country, My, Maczmyrosm likens it, in thia phase, to a chimney iraveling aftor a moving fire, The air which pours forth at the top of the column expands, and in expandieg throws off heat. Homach Leat {alost that the va- por of water corrled up by the air condenses and pours back opon the earth in the shepe of hall, snow, or rain, The tromendoun energy of the oyclono geoms leus inoxplicable when we recollect than tho sun and the oarth join their forces in order to produco it. The sun is the fur. nace, and the molst lands and the seas of tho earth aro the boiler, The phenomena would ba the same, how- ever, whataver was the source of heat. Fol. lowing out this thought, Mr 3laoxnerosz draws a sublime picture of the cycloue as » orealive force, When the univerio was sim- ply one vast atmosphere, the puses of iha same speolfio gravity naturally arranged themselves in the samae stratuwm, until the whale mass was 80 divided. The fores thay kopt the particlea of matter apart was heat. In order to form worlds, much of this “eat wust be got rid of. This was dono by & ayclane, willions of milea in height, whirl ing through apace, As it rushed nup, the vapor contained in it condensed ot diderent olevations into granito, iron, and nearly overy othor solid substance. Theso foll in a fierco rain apon the lowor strate and molted agnin, But the work hed not been in vain, A vast mmonnt of Leat had boen transforred from the centrs of the universe to tha circum- foronce. ‘The union of the particles lying at the contre was now posaible, and worlds wero formed. Ihin is a mngnificent concoption of the cyelone of the pnst. 1T it fails Lo fully com- fort the sufforer from the eyelone of the prosent, he cen at lonat rojoice that hiw lot is 1o worse, Mr. Mackevtomn imforms s that when the primeval whirling colinun was at work, *all kiuds of {heous rocks, mingled with molton metal, chnsed ench other millions of .miles down through the tlery gloom,” The modern cyclone dves nothing as bad as this. THE RIGHT TO WORK. The Cincinnati Commercial givos a stim. mary bislory of a strike in Athens County, Olifo, which has ended in tho sentence of n man named Myena to one year in the Pon- itettinry for killing n men named ELprnToN, ‘Tho case is intovesting from tho atrange and extraordinary ending. A strike took placa in the conl district in 1874. The Miners' Union, ngainst tho protesl of n large body of the members, ordered a strike, and tho miners thencoforth wore divided into two classes, thoso who wonted to work and those who forbid all work. The mon who wanted to work wero generally those who had families dependent on them, and to whom a loss of wages was irreparable. These men, or a large portion of them, at laat concluded to go to work, when thoy wera snbjected by the others to personal violence, and their families wero visited and threatened with tho direst ponal tics it any attempt was mnde by the fatheror husband to work. Oneof tho witnesses thus defined the relntions of tho two parties : 1 undorntood at thiot tiime that there wero two par- tea—one sida wantad to work, and tho ofhior side did not work, Themen who did wot want to work wera calied Union men, Tho party thixt wanted to work wero called in Be- nevolent Assoctatfon, and weve callad (hy tho strikors) Ru-Rlux and Ylackgusrde, 1muct and made rpeechos at meotingn of citizena, held in Minure Hall (head- nquariers of the sirikere), My sympaties wers with the aldo that refused to work, ELpentoN was couspictous 83 a leader in the party that *“ did not want to work,” and Myens was one of those who '‘wanted to work.” Erpcrron was tho riuglender in the scones of violenco, Dfobs visited thie mines ropontedly and drove off those at work ; and here is 8 spocimon of how thoy operated oth- erwise: Bra. lzxny Mironrey teatified: My huaband waa working mncr; somethivg near a hundrad ruen made s call at vur house ono morning and fnquired for my Lusband, and whether ho intended to work; 1 1old b T dida't know whether ho intended to work or not; they anawered that thiey hoped bo would rot, and added, * you liave 8 fomily hieo fo raine, and I Bope ho'll dive to ralso 'em; if he goea ta work ho'll be Xlled.” They lnd revolvers and clubs, were on foot and marching in regular order. A great many nighta 1 took my childran and left te honse, for fear of being Killed, I generally carrled aros; never went witliout thiem, 1t was the custom of the wives aud dsughters of the workingmen nfter they had been threatened. I carried arumu from the frst of the strike, for tho reason that our faaling was when they came to our houses they didn't care who they killed, A striker thua testified : The airikers are the Miners' National Unfon this Union beld its meotings at Schnetder Hall thres or four timos & wesk ; at ono of thess meetings I hada convaruation with ELornTox s ha waid ha would ehaot Myuns snd other Ku-Kluz, and wanted me to go with hin, Tho Pronident of the Union teatified : The thinking men who had respect for the law wani~ od to convince the nuen, and #o koop thom from work, The lswless men would bring thom out by violence and xlll them, ELDERTOX wen & violent agitator, Ihed maoy disctasions with him, On or Abaut the 14tk of April, 1874, & man (Snrrpann) waashol, Iweutto 00 him, and met ELDEnTON, I ataged all night at bis fatherindaw's, Tiomas Fannow, BaEyparp ‘wan ons of the lesding man of thio Assoctation, I fre- quently stayod at Fanmow's, Jist (ELpratos) told e BAxrpanp had bren sbot by the Blacklegs, and thaeit was his intention toshoot in retalistion, He mentioned Ruxyow Myeas, Bubsequently, EipentoN “mot Myrzns and nssaulted bim ; howas aided by a dozon other strikers, and Myrns, to savo himwclf, shot EtperroN. Ho wna tried, convicted, and sont to the Penotantiary, and the reader will naturally ask, For what ? Hero waa 8 man who * wanted {o work, " who was for woeks hunted by & gnug of men “who did not want to work, ” and who had determinad that no one olse should work. He and his associates wore driven from their work, hia 1lfe was threatoned, and finally, whon assaulted, he shot the man who ns. sanlted him, and who had threntoned to shoot him, No human ingenuity can torture this sot into anything sove an honest, upright blow to defend his right to work, againet the ps- gpult of those who refused to work, and who with violence sought to provent his dofng so, We can jmngine no higher act of sol?.defensa than defending his person sgainat violence offered him because he wanted to work at his trade, The Commercial concludes the history of the casa by saying: The people have boen enlightened from a home atandpolnt aa to the quality of that monster in the pathof human progress, bafors which Governora ‘quail and Juriea Low, and st times s wholo community Appears powerlead~a strike of workmen against thelr fellow-laborers, ¢ is certalnly time that the American peo- ple shall conslder how much longer it shall ba o debatable queation whether those who want to work for = lliving and tosupport their families shall go unprotectad from the violence of those ““who do not want to work.” ‘ e —— Thera Is svery indlostion at proseut that tho eloction of Ecorxstox to the Eplscopal Biah- oprio of Iowa will oauso as muok disaenslon In tho Oburoh s tho eloction of Dr, Dx Kovx in Iligols, .
