The Chicans Tiibuae, Thuradey Morniug, June 3, 1876, A graphic description is given in our dis- patches of the ceremonies in conneetion with tho dedieation of the now Masonic Templo in New York City, the largest and most mag- nificent building of the kind in America, and probably second to none in the world. Tho atreet parade wos extremely gorgeons and imposing, and it is worthy of note thnt among the visiting bodics the finest display was mado by n Western organization, the De- troit Commandery. Tho Minnesota Opposition, known as Lib- ernlg and Democrats, have concluded to try their fortunes onco more in the political arepn. To this ond they have decided to eall n Btato Conventlon, which body will meet at St Paul on the 7th of July. They are not a4 yet enchnanted with the political outlook, though the road to miccess is likely to be sufiviently loug and tedious to fulfill tho cons ditions required by the popular purase in re. gard to objects at n distance. Reporta from the South econcerning the con~ dition of the cotton crop have now an in- terest and significance which they have hith- erto faifed to possces. The general tenor of the reports published this morning shows that Isbor, both white and black, s plenty and vastly more cfficiout this fenson than it Lns been for mnny yenrs, whick argues a good slate of fecling between the employer and employed. The uso of commercial fertilizers Iins been resorted to more the present season than ever before, and planters are slowly habituating themselves to tho application of domestic manures,~—a practice which is quite new in that sectial The fate of the Chicago Cnstom-Houso will probably be decided within the next two or threo days, ns the Commission of Examiners appointed by the Secratary of the Trensury will commence their investigation to-day. The character and fitness of the gentlemen who conduct the oxamination warrauts the oxpoctation that it will be thorough und conclusive, and that their verdict will be fair and impartia), unbissed by the large amonnt of rumor and apeculation which have boen indulged in, and not infinenced by per- sonal or political coneiderstion, If Mur- LETT's job is it to stand, Chicago will be glad to know it; if not, the work of demolition canuot begin too soon, A cmcsp;ndcnt of Tux Triuxe a fow days sinca rvecalled sowe reminiscences of “Mr, Brstox, who wns for mauy years cou- nected with a Washington banking-house, and who ona day shot himselt beeauso ho had an impression that his books, if exnm- joed, would mot tally, The business world hos outgrown such morbid sonsitiveness, however. It is no longor afilicted with nny pangs of consclence from any impression that books won't tally, The absolute knowl edgo of it fs su ovory-doy fact, and yot the Coroner's business ix not enhanced by this knowledge. The unfortunate victim allnded to was born bLalf o century too soon.

First, their Committes, to whom was relo- gated tha duty of preparing s doclarntion on the snbject, reported indoraing the present Liquor Inw of Illinols ; whersupon there was hot debate, and the report wau unanimonsly rejected, even those who prosonted it joining in tho general dislike of thelr work., Then the Association, with perfect unanimity, went on rocord in favor of lolal probibition, 1t might bo expected that the proferonce for ‘water would bo carried a great way by tha Assoclation, but not, wo think, to such an estrome limit wna oven tho National "Wem- peranco Conventlon refused to indorso, Tho National Tempernnca Convention hiod a rather nojsy scssion yestorday, the nproar and confusion which prevailod alarge por. tion of the tima suggesting to an unpreju- dicod obaerver the roflection that tompernto. vess and moderation uro desirable iu a delib- omtivo body not less than in respact of the kind of liquids which people shall im- bibo. The Couvention is anything but united and havnonious upon various planks in the temporancs platform, thers holug & wide varianco of views con- corning the subject oY prohibition, the discon. tinuance of alcoholio wine for sacrawental purposes, and the absoluto and irrevocoblo banishment of lquors from the sick-room, ““oven though tho patient shoald die in cou. sequonco,” as one of tha delegates romarked, As to the prohibition question, the majority n the Conventlon, sensibly concluding that the tlme {3 uot ripo for the organization of n Third Porly commuitted to the policy of total quppression of the liquor trafiie, con. tauted thomsolves with a niort of compromise deliveraucs, and thus luft tuo ‘matter open for futuro optlon, Tho fect that thore was 80 lirge an exprossion of wiso and reason. ablo counvals on the question of Nquor in the sickoroom rufleots oredit upou the lntelll. gence of the Conventio s, whose Influcnco do. m:‘x:‘ Iar mors upon 3 aoderation Wan fanat. v ETTINTIINS et The Chiengo produ‘se morkety wers frregu.

L The Republican State Convention in Ohio yesterday mominsted for Governor Gen, Roruenronn B, aves, Cen. Haves wus, before the War, a practicing attorney in Cine cinuati, and wns elocted City Solicitar, 1le entored the army ns Licutenaut-Colonel of the Twenty-third Ohio, and subsequently was made Colonel, Ile sorved in the She- nandoah Valley under Snemnax, and was promoted to the command of o brigade and made a brilliant record, After the War, he was twico elected to Congress from Cincine. natl, Ha was then elested, for two succes. sivo terms, Governor of Ohio. He is a man of ability, a tine speaker, with a high personal charncter, and has an an unblomished official record, Heisnamaun of libernl views, and .| has no eympathy with fraud or corruption in any form. Gen, Harrs wos not a caudidate for the nomiuntion, but earnestly supported Judge Tarr. While n Judge in the Superior Court {n Cincinuati, Judge Tarr delivered o disseuting opinion in a docision com- manding the Board of Eduentiontorestoretho Bible as u toxt-hook in the public schools, Subsequently, the Suprewme Court of Ohio overruled this decision, and unanimously sus. tained Iudge Tart's opinion ns to the law of Ohio on ihat subject. Ile wns regarded, howaver, as an unquestionable friond of tho publie.school system, but his opinion on the other question erused an opposition to him in cortnin parts of Olio, Jude Tarr would hove oblained many thonsands of votes be- yond tlhe ordinary party strength, but it was considered best to have a candidate agninst whom thera was neither personal, political, or roligious objection within the party. So Judge Tarr withidrew his name, and Gen. Haves was nominnted by acclatastion. The canvass in Obio promises to bLe one of un- usunl wannth sud vigor. The State is to be fLiotly contested until olection day, and per- hnps no oue is better snited for such a cam. paign than Geu, Haves, QUOLLECTING THE REVENUE, Mr. Wavswonru, Collector of the Intornal Revenue for this collection district, hns re- fusod to rosign his oftics at tho request of the Government, preferred through the Commis. sioner of Internol Revenue. 'This refusal is placed upon tho ground that Me, Waps- wonru's character is of value to him, thatn soquest to resign implies something dis. creditablo, and that bofors he resiyna there shall be distinet and specific chargos made against him, and thot e shall bo heard in de- fonss. 'This, the office-holder’s general pro- test upon leaving oftice, iy thus formulated by an organ of the policy of not hurting the party by prosccuting revenuo thioves : Tho roquest for Lis resignation faa bold demand upan an officer, only recently nprointed, fo surrsnder Lis otlice ou the ground that the good of tha worvies Toquires that hie whould ba dingraced, Now, wa hold ttiat the Tressury Dopartmeut Diay go o great fengtha (o bring shout tha detoction of past frauds, aud to so- ouro & faith(ul collection of tho Tevenues in the futurs, und we will sustaln Becretary DRitow in evury muessure looking solely fo that end. Dup nelther Wio Hecretars nor tho Prosident haa the moral vight to sacrifica the reputation of the humblest tadtridual in the land {0 what fs commonly culfed the exigoncies of tho public service, Tho oflice-holder s alsoa citizon, entitied to all the vights of citizonahip; and one of tuese rights 13 that bis eliarscter shall not be unjustly aaperscd. If Mr, WapawonTx bas boen guilty of com. plicity with the rogues of tho Wiaky Iing, Jet the charge be boldly hudo und sustuined, Othsrwiss, lot Bim not bo driven from oftice wnder the soeming sbadow of » susplcion whick Lax no bxls of fact, and. which is too cowardly to frame itaolf fn wards, , , While no American sitizen holds offico by Rlsino right, avary cittzan may lold oftice3 and no right oststs uny. wiiero fu any oficial to subjoct anothier offietal to jub- Yo suspiclon of dishonarable practices by turning him out of atlice without a hwaring, This bold aflirmation of treating the Civil Sarvice as an institution in whick the poli- tics of the incumbont should have no bearing upon the tonure of office, is bardly in keoping with tho almost general ropudintion of Civil- Service Reform by all the rigid * party” wen, from Bey BorLes down to the lowest carpet-baggor, ‘Tho efforts of the President to substitute officinl merit for meore political protoction a8 & qualification for office, have practically been rofocted by the Republican party, and by nono inore vohemontly than tho Republican Senators and Representativea In Cougross from Tlinols, To plead at this dny and in this genoration that a removal from oftico fmplfes such a degradation or disgrace of the person romoved that the offfcer is justifiod in demanding on offlcial trial upon apacifio charges of offlefal misconduct, s toa “stale to merit publlo rospoot. Wo concedo all ihat has been or may bo clafned for Mr. Wanaswortit oficially or per- sonally, but that does not alter the case, 'The Government ot Washington have engnged in a struggle with o wealthy, numerous, and in- tluential gang of conspirators, whose oporn- tions ae extended lf over the country, and which includes in its distributions of spolla hundreds of persons holding ofice in alt tho various branches of the publiv wervico, Not ouly ks tho Government to deal with the whisky men direct, but has the more difficult tosk to encountor tho stipondiaries of the rovenuo robbers, who hold places of trust and power, Under theso eiveumstances, the resiguation of Mr, Wapswortr was asked beenuse of the ‘“exigencies of the publie sorvieo.” %horo §a no nocessary fwplication in such a roguest that there hos boon any crimiual conduct ou his part, Let us, foy instance, jmagino an office of Collector of Totornal Rovanus located, not in Clicago, but iu the Blate of Maine, whars, amoug mauy othor fustnucos of like charac- tur, there I3 the record of o trausaction like this: On o doy, say Jon. 1, stamps for 100 burrels of wlusky wore sold, the stamps be- ing uvmbered comsceutively from 401 to 1,000 inclusive, In due thne thers iy ara. turn by tho Gauger and Inspector that they had respectively gauged and marked 100 bar. vels of whisky which they bad scen dumped, aud that the stamps thereon, numbered $01 to 1,000 fnclusively, had boen duly cancelad. Huppose that, {n thirty days therentter, the satne officors made ke return concerning 100 other. barrols of whisky, bearing stamps 401 to 1,000 inclusively; and that, in thirty dayd lator, tho wswe oficers showld make returny of the gauging, iuspec. tion, ete,, of 100 other bamels of whisky, bearing stamps numbered 901 to 1,000 inolusively, what opinfon would be wae brl fower, olos‘ng at @19.80 eash, and | formued of the vigilanso or comnion businoss ! qualification of such n revenuo officer 2 Thiy cnse we have piven is parhaps nn extrema one, though it lins netually ocenrved, and it server to show that the whisky men wero thoroughly posted ns totle characterof the pde ministration of that Collector's office, In the enso wo havo instanced, there was o necessity, of course, to bribo the Gauger aud Inspector to make these flse returns on oath 5 aud both Gauger, and Tnspector, and diatillers, and rec. tiflers ;uat hiave hind o thorough mensuro of thoe inefliciency, officinl neglect, or indiffer. ence and general wenkuess of the wholo rovenuo forco of the district, when they would dave nttempt such a hold and almost defient froud as this, and repent it within o fow weeks in the ssmo atlice. Tero s a cnse, and wo uso it merely for illustration, whero thera was such n loose ad- ministration that the official and unofeial conspirators did not hesitate to put in their falso and forged returns, not once, but twice, and nctunlly had rocorded on the Collector's own books that a given number of stamps had been canceled three times, and yet the Colleetor and his subordinnles wero ns ignorant ot tho fraud, and ns gnorant of having over ndopted sny mensurs to dotect such frands, as if they lived in n land where frands npon the revenuo were unheard of and unknown, Snppose the President, Sccretary of the Troasury, and Commissiover of Internal Rov. entte, upon a knowledge of this and other similar facts, should suggest to that Collector down in Maine that tho exigencies of the pub- lico servico required his resiguation, would any intelligent business man in the country not interested orconcerned in the mera spoils of offico think the request for s resignation either strange, unjust, or oppressive? Sup- poss any bank in Chieago should get tho reputation of being so loosely, carelossly, and recklessly managed that it was an ensy place inwhich to got rid of counterfeit money, pass forged checks and raised bills of exchange, and comwit other frauds, nnd that such reputntion was sustained by the actual suer cesy of such operations, how long would it bo before the Directors would nsk the Cashier and his subordinntes to step down and out 2 The Goyernment proposes to prosecuto tho persons guilty of erime to conviction and punishment, and anturally, in such case, wonts its own offfoial forcs composed of men wholly discosnected with the Whisky Ring, whether by personal, offieinl, or politi- eol tiog, and is justified in taking whatever steps wmny bo necessary for that purpose. In this struggle with erime, the Exccutive ean permit no intorference from without. A fow years ogo a Commission appointed by the President made a report upon certain evils of the Civil Servico, and among other things stated : Whlle, therefore, the appolating power is shicfly and properly veated 1 the Exccutive Dopariment, hocauso tlat department {a reaponsiblo for executiva sdminis- {ration, yet the practica that hos arisen under tho ovil thicory of the Ofyll Bervice tends to make the Proafdent ail Becretarics morely tho appalutment clerks of Con- gress, from which body the Constitution carcfully witliliolds the appoluting power. . . . Thus itfe not denfed that tho chfef natfonal appofutments in the soversl States are now really not mada by the Frosle deut and Nonate, but at the plessure of the Ssuatory from the States in which the ofice la {0 be Alled. Tho President may bave personal knowledya of tha unfite Ress ot certaln persons whose appolntment {s sought, but, if the Senstors from tho Stata are In favor of thiose persons, the President must yeld his knowledge 1o thelr pleasure, or the offices must zeman unfiled. Whilo it is true that in tho matter of np- pointmonts, the Prosident, under our vicious Civil-Servico systom, must yield to the pleas- ure of Senators, it bocomes a very dilferont question whon the point at {ssuo fs the prose- cution of criminals and the purification of the revanue force by the dismissal of every man through whase negleet, incfiicioncy, in- attention, connivance, oractivo participation, such crimes have been successfully perpe- {rated during n long timo. In such a case,— that is, in the execution of the laws,~there con be tolorated no Senntorinl interferonce or demand’; and, in cage it bo attempted, there will be no hesitation among thoe people in sostaining the President, bo mntter what may become of the Senatorial champions or spologists for revenne frands, TFRAUDS AND THEIR EXPOSURE, A fow dnys since Tuw Tninuxe hed oces. ston to print somo stastling revelationa con- cerning tho career of o gontleman who had ocoupied a prominent position in the social and financinl circles of tho Northwest, Tha rovelations woro unique ; thoy came in the. form of confessions, The publication wns entiroly legitimate, and it neods no apalogy. 'The confessions were put on paper by tho gontleman who mado them for purposes of his own; they camo {nto the possession of ‘Ing Tamone in a fafr and rogular manner; thoy were printed with good motives, It was an exposure of roprehonsible praotices, which wero in controvention of commercinl morality and in violation of law, It was not for Tme ‘ToInuNe to inquire who was likely to be im. plicated in such an exposure, but simply to ba suro of ity facts, It thon became tha duty of 'fme Tnmunx to publish theso facts for varlous roasons that should bo obvious to every right.minded person,—to exhibit the transactions in their renl light, to show that commercial integity cannot be evaded with impunity, to warn other men of the dauger of similar practicos, to hold them up to public scorn that they may be ocorrecled, to place the responsibility whers it ronily belongs, ete, It is unnecessary to cate alogue the reasous why fraud should bo ex- poaed, corrupt practices denounced, and thoga guilty of them held publicly to account. A proper aentiment of honor needa no prompt. ing {n this regard, It is certainly astonishing, then, that the exposuro to which we rofer shonld have elicited unfavorable eriticlaw in soma quar. tard, The majority of men, anxious for the good oplnion of tholr follows, would prefer to justify auch an exposure and condewmn the practlces exposcd. A fow, fortunntely very few, have proferrad to condemu the exposure, and, by implication, justify the practices. Bo {ar 038 we have obuervad, thera are two news- pspers and ono clergyman who have commit. ted themselves to this questionable position ; tho clergyman, conscions, wo should say, of his error, exprosaos himself anonymously. But clergyman, or jourpalist, or what not, no man can {indorso corrupt practices by condemning thelr expos- ure withaut subfecting himself to the sus~ plofon of an active sympathy with corruption. Ho might almost as woll say; I would have done the samo it I thought I conld have made monoy by it and eseaped detection,” Or atill bettor, Lo might proclaim ; This BYR tem of exposure wust be brokenup; it may como my turn next.” Tho dlsposition we have noted—that of de- nounolng the exposire of frauds instesd of condemning the frauds themselyes—Is un. fortunately not sn wscommon one at this time in our country. The gemeral indlot- ments against newspapers which we ocon. slonally hear in Congress or the pulpit, or Aod ln ths riliglous weekdles, L prompted by this sentiment of sympathy with corruption, All worts of wenk oxcuses nre in- vented in jnatifiontion of stch defonses of frawl, This corruptioniat, wa are toll, ought to DLe mercencd beeauso he 13 n profossor of religion ; nnother, because Lo was engaged in **developing the coun. try”; n third, beeass ho contribnfed gonor- onaly to charity; a fourtls, hecanso hio was in- tensaly patriotio during tho War; n fifth, be- ceaugo ho oceuples a high social position ; and %0 on. In nll these cnses tho apologists would have us bolieva that it is not theshams, deceptions, and swinidles, but theiv erposire, which i1 caleulated to dmnnge the interests of tho publie, The rophistry is trausparont, but the motive which suggests it Is dangor- ous in tho extrome, No commanity, no paity, no Government, no country, enn hopo to live and prospor which is seared at the ghosta of its own cor- ruptiond. Any genoral expression to the ef- fect that it is hetter to smother fraud, and protoot corruptionists by saving them from cxpostre, i n monnco to public morality, Tho sentiment is already too wilesprosd for the politieal nnd commercial good of our conntry. A corrupt Ropublic is un. queationably tho most disastrous condition {uto which socioty can drift, Liborty degen- erates into license, politics into corruption, commerca iuto monopoly, morality into 1i- centiousness, virtue into vico. When & polit- ionl pnrty fa prostituted to the purposes of privato gain, great corporntions used to op~ press the public, large baukiug inatitutions mndo tho vohicle of swindling depositors, so. clotiea throwing n mnntel over libertines, or tho Olureh protecting hypocrites, no sentis ment is g0 threstening as to ndvocate n sup- proasion of the truth or 0 denounco the ox. posure of tho abuses, It is this sentiment that, tosday, is more menacing than any oth- or ta tha commorcinl Lonesty, soeinl power, and political intogrity, on whick nlone o Re- public moy hope to stand. It i moral ob. liquity that we must guard ngainst, andto ad- vocate ** n polioy of silenco™ iy to enconrage it rather than anve oursclves from drifting intoit. And of all men, journnlists and cler- gymen should bo thelast to ndopt a theory so trencherous and fatal LIFE-PREBERVERS AT SEA, Every person who statts upon an ocenn voyage may set ont with the conviction that life-presorvers, under the presont Kystem of using them, aro utterly uscless, The reason of this is plain enoogh to everybody who has been at sea, Dianstors occur ot night, or in a dense fog, or o towering storm,—very rarely in the light of day. Thore is ususlly no warning. Tho ship strikes tho rock, or comes in collision with another vesscl or an feaberg, and tho shock ig liko that of an enrthquake or an oxplosion,~—sudden, unexpected, nnd ter- rifying., The rosult is o panio. The seclfish- noss of human pature ig developed in nll jts intonsity ; the instinet of self-preservation ngserts itaelf over overy iden of duty, Aen lose their heads and womon their hearts, and there i a rush and scramble without thought or renson. Tho sailors nro tho first at the life-bonts, Theoy frequently domp them over wrong end first, and two or throe bonts are lost beforo ono is falrly afloat. T'we or three more ara usmally swamped by overcrowding, Tho sailors got off with one, and the great mojority of the pas- sengers avo loft to the untender morcies of o sinking sbip in surrounding darkness, di- vestod of every life-saving apporatus with which the vessel was provided, and without courngo or exporience. ‘This is a fair picture of tho aceua, Now whera have thae lifo-preservers heon all this time? Swinging quistly from their fastenings over the bunks below, nnthought of until thoy were beyond tho reach of the nnfortunates who had left them beobind, This is tho renson‘why lifo-preservors ara practieally useless. Thoy are Snvariably placed fn alocation whero they are beyond resch ot tho tima thoy are thought of, When tho shack of the disaster comes it is tha frre. siatiblo {mpulso of overy man and woman in tho cobin to wush wpon dock, to reach the highest point in the ship, This fmpulse to rwsh up is ne sirong on shipbosrd in timo of accident as is tho impulse to rush out of o theatro or church in time of fire. No ono pauscs for anythiug, and last of all for a life-preservor, The life-preserver fs not thought of until the deok is renched, and the panie-atricken crowd bogins to appreciate tho small ehance of es- capo by boats. It ig then too Inta to soek the cabin, The hold is prabably full of water, and 10 ono dares to return to grope about in dark and narrow passages in the rising water in senrch of a life-presorver; and thus, with the menns of saving life almost at hand, a ‘hundred souls or aore are lost. The remady for this is cloarly n changs of tho location of lifo.preservers, and tho most uatural, conveniont, snd available place for thom ia 1n the life-boats, All the trans-Atlan. tio stenmors are provided with at least eight nrge lifo-bonts, four swung on eitlor aide of the vessel, and esch capablo of holding from thirty to forty porsons, Tho fiest movement of the smnllors, for whom mo life- proservers nre provided, i toward theso boats. 1f each one of tho bonts contalned life-progervers in a numbor about one-third greater than their onrrying capacity, tho offi+ cers and crew would firat pravide themselves, From that moment thoy would be eooler men, Thore would no longer ba the insane douira to launch aud fill the boats that there was before, Mon would do their duty in & deliberate’ and systematlo monner. ‘Thoy wonld feol, with the life-preservers mbout thelr bodles, that thoy had a chance to live, and they would be in o condition to loosen the boats and ship them so they would float, They would have the lfe-prosorvers at hand to denl out to the frightened passengors, and ton lives would be anved where oue is saved now, In addition to thoso changes, every lite-bont ought also to have from gix to oight tarpaulin buckets attached to it by chalns for boiling out tho wator, for moro boats are swamped for the lack of thess simple accom. poniments than anything glve. "The success of Pavs Borrox's lifo-progery.
