MCCLURE, K. of T. and 8, The Chicaga Tribune, Thursday Morning, June 24, 1878, ‘Wo can say on the best authority that, in all the conversations botween Mr. Porren and the Commission of experts to examino the Custom-House, Mr. P. uniformly express. ed tho deuire to save tho walla of that struat- uroif possible. The Secretary of the Treas. ury did the same, Tho talk of Mr. Munrerr and his organ hero about spito, hostility, ete, ix pure bosh, with nothing whatever to sup- portit, ‘The little man Muzzerr mokes him- solf ridiculous in exaggerating his own im- portance, Tho Secretary of the Treasury nnd the Supervising Architect have much more important business on hand than crush. ing go small a fish as Muniert. Ex-Premier Guapsrone is enid to have re- gonsidered his dotormination to retira per- manently from active participation in politica, nad, after much conxing and Persuasion, has consented to resume his old position as lender of tho Liborals, Tho lendorship of tho Marquis of Hartington haa not beon distinguished for its boldnoss in bringing forward roform mensures, and has fallon far short of the ability ond force which characterized the administration of party affairs under Guapstony. It is at Iceat. high compliment to the old statesman to pross upon his acceptance an office in which a young and popular member of the party has failed to make his mark, The opposition by the Board of Police to tho Charter of 1872 has convinced the Mayor and Common Conncil that this Board ought to bo abolished, and an application was made to the Corporation Counsel for an opinion ag to the powor of tho Council to vent their hatred and gratify their revengo in this man- ner, Judge Diczzr'a roply has greatly an- noyed the Mayor, who is at s loss how to proceed to the abolishment of the Polico Board, in the face of the concurrent gpinion of the entire Law Dopartment that the thing can’t bo done, The Council, liowovor, being superior to all low, will have no trouble in legisluting tho Board out of ox- istence, no matter what the Corporation Counsel thinks aboutit, At the meeting of tae Aldermen last night they struck from the Appropriation bill the item of $8,400 for the salarics of Polico Commissioners, leaving the latter to serve without poy until the courts compel the city to render thom what they are by law entitled to, jh ed The scorching hot weather is not without ita compensations, The Beeones case is nonrly ended. Mr, Beacn yesterday finished lis lengthy argument, and thon enterod a motion for tho reopening of the case to ro- ceive the evidence recently doveloped. Af]. davita in support of tho motion were filed with the Judgo, who refused the defense the permission to inepect the documents. The matter of admitting the new avidonce will be decided by Judgo Nezzuon to-day, and in the event of his rofusal tq reopen the caso the jury will be charged at once, and a verdict is looked for to-day, ‘That it will be favorablo to Mr, Bxzoren ix now quite generally belioved in Brooklyn, and that tho plaintift’s counsel are of this opinion is indicated by Mr, Braou’s disregard of poliny in his trentmont of tho jury, If tho verdict is acquittal, Mr. Brzoun will doubtlees commence at once the criminal Proceedings against Truron and Movxron, In response to the suggestions of a corre spondent in yesterday's Tumunz, various Ohicagonns come forward with offers of money to assist Tinton in prosecuting a now trial of the case, ——_., The success achioved by Seoretary Bars. Tow, Postmaster-General dzwen, and Attor- ney-Gencral Prenneront in breaking up whis- ky-rings, checkmuting dishonest mail con- tractors, and in purifying the public aarvice generally, has been such as to bring these Cabinet officers into great prominence, ‘They have undoubtedly built up a fine reputa- tion, and incidentally some other reputations have suffered,—notably those of dishonest or incompotent officials who havo been removed for the good of the service, Itis quite possible that by comparison and con- trast samo other roputations havo been in« jured,—that membors of the Cabinet who Bave place to Messrs, DBuarow, Jzwenr, aud “ NT regard with distrust and dis. satisfaction the eweoping mensures of reforin carried into effect by their successors, But, with these exceptions, the now order of tuings meets with henrty epproval, and no ours uro entertained that the party hag aus. tained injury on that account, Jealousy and hostility have begun to crop out in certain quartera in Washington, but for every howl ef chagrin by individual soreheads a thousand tusnifoatations of satisfaction will be forth. coming from the people who make up “the Party.” The Chicago produce marketa were irrep. ular yeuterday, grain being depressed by the Warmer weather, Mess pork was in good de. inand, and 200 per bri higher, closing at 619.05 for July, and $19.25@19,80 for Au.

With no hopes of a party success, and agreoing in all essontinla with the Repub- licans, thero would have been no occasion to hold a Democratia Convention in Maine if it hind not been necessary to give notico to the Demoornteof the Wostthat their financlal hore- siea would not be pormitted to become therec- ognized policy of tho party, ‘Thero was a de. liberate effort to incorporate the financial resolutions of the Ohio Convention in the Maino platform, and not only did {¢ fail, but, a8 wo have alrendy notod, there waa the most unmistakable declaration in favor of a gound currency, “gold, or ita equivalent,” Tha Ohio Democrats want just the reverse, viz, : the retiroment of the National Bank-noto cur- rency, and tho substitution of greenbacks, which aro convertible into nothing, ond only pass for money by the grace of Congress and the complacency of tho Amorican people, Hero is the rock on which the Democrata are likely to split, If tho Ohio Convention reflected the sontimonts of Western Democrats, they want plenty of cheap money, irredeamable and worthless; if the Maine Convention reflectod tho sentimonta of Eastern Democrats, thoy want a sound currency, either coin or its eqnivalont, which consists of a bank-note con- yertiblo into coin readily and conveniently, There is no compromise hero, no chance to meot half-way; thore must be one thing or tho other. Wo may conclude, therefore, that tho Eastern Democrats and the Westorn Dem. ocrate will not pull togother, Now, wo do not doubt that thore are = good many persons who have been voting with tho Ropublican party and who labor under the samo delusion of cheap monoy 0a the Ohio Democrats, If so, they had bettor go into the Democratio party, for there ia no longor any question that the proponderance of the sentiment in the Republican party is in favor of the Maine declaration for a “sound currency, coin or its equivalent.” On the other hand, if the proponderancs tn the Democratis party is in favor of cheap, ir- redeemable monoy, lot the individual Demo- crats who havo no sympathy with this dan. gorous fallacy be honest enough to refuse thoir votes to an organization sustaining it, There may as well ba an issue here as any- where. We believe that thero is too much honesty and intolligence in the Republican Party to permit it to be committed to the glaring absurdity and dangorous expedient of “cheap maonoy "; lot the Democrats fight it out among therselvos, _———— TO XUROFE IN KIVE DAYS, Thig is what a writer in the Galazy for June considers possible, He points out the fact that, In 1850, tho avorage voyage on the Atlantio was just what it is now,—ten days,’ In everything olse wo havo progressed. We' have, indeed, piled gilding and carving on our ocean steamships, hung thom with our- tains, adorned them with paint and plate. glass, with spacious saloons and comfortable emoking-roome,—but we have not incroased their speod materially, if at all.

This law has been tested by tax. objectors in every form, and has in evory ine stanco been pronounced constitutional and effective. Tho law provides that any city may havo its taxes collected under the same low without any cost or charga for assess. mont; that in such case the goneral officer of the county shall collect the snmo with the one’s country; popular militias dnsteds of atandin, 4 ception: . of theiamesgunat the yrs ta aguias ecoateg | and induenoe, If the onrd of Pavesticy societies, 5, Administration of juatice through the | undertook tho sale of all text-books, thoir People, and bath Aion mise Beene ae ae power in this regard would be increased in sae & ed Tbe ne | many ways, and there would bo more school- eges, @ religious pers 1D of ot chireastobacoutierads eitale miter fe Avior | book labbying than ever.” Prevontly, oaly Progressive ncomo-tax instead of wil present indirect » those books wonld bo used and sold which ate os ae Leeann Ha at eee A | would pay a commission on the enles, Aside rR o : ‘ Prouiiion of working on Sunday. 10, Pronisamed | #0 ths, tis not well that the Principal of all children's work, aud woinon's work which may be | every school should oceupy his time with soll. considered as unhealthy, 11.

Wo fear thia gonerntion will vavor cross tho ocean in five day: THE OHIO DEMOCRATS AND THE GERMANS, it is now pretty evident that tho error made by the Ohio Republicans in nominating Gov, Haves instead of Judgo Tart, which at ono time neemed to bo serious, will bo more than offset by tho errors of the Ohio Domo- orate, which may cost them the entire Gor- man vote of the State. Without the German vote tho Democrats cannot hopo to elect their Governor, Tho Gormans went over to the Democratic partyin Obioalmostenmaaseon account of tho temporanco agitation and the women's crusade, for which they hold the Ropublican party responsible, They world have remained with the Democrats for tho samo reason, had not the latter committed themselves to two serious blunders. ‘Tho first waa the nomination of Gen. Saxven F, Cany, who ia what theGermans calla “tom. peranzler” and “mucker.” The Cincinnatt Commercial is now engaged in the republica- tion of Gen, Canr's temperance tracts, in which he hag taken the most ridiculously. extreme position, Mr. Cany is one of those who dosire to send everybody to the Peniton. tiary for life who a engaged in selling liquor, To give him the second place on the Domo- eratio ticket was scarcely tha best way to ro- tain the German vote, which left the Repub. lican party because of its supposed disposi. tion to interfere with the personal rights and customs of the people. But 6 more serious blunder than this was the financial position takon by the Democratic Convention in Ohio. A practical declaration in favor of inflation, ademand thnt National Bank-notes be retired and greanbacks isaned ad tditum, and au indefinite postponement of specie resumption, were sure to meet with the disapproval of intelligont Germans. Their education, habits, and traditions are all in favor of a sound currency, Tho most of the Gormans inthis country have beon accustomed in thefr native land to an invariable currency, consisting cither of coin or bank-notes con- vertiblo into coin, The few who have come from Austria have learned in tho past the im- providence of “cheap moncy.” All nro a prudent, hard-working, honest, economical, and money-saving people, and they have no disposition to Jay by a dollar which may not be worth 60 cents next week or next year, They have no knowledge of and no faith in any money which has nota recognized and staple value overywhere, Itis not atrange, therefore, that such representative German, dailies as the Volksblatt of Cincinrati, the Demokrat of Sandasky, and the Waechter am ris ‘of Tleveland, should come out in fiat repudiation. of the inflation polfcy. Tho Waeehter am Erie comthands respoct and ox- erts an impottant influence among tho Gor- mane throughout tho ontiro State, and it isa serlons matter forthe Domocratic party in Oblo when that journal declaros that it is de. serving. of no success in the coming cam- paign, and that even the “ mucker "tendency and temperance nuisance in tho Republican ; party are preferable to the papor awindle pro- ' posed by the Democrats, " The opposition of the Germans to the Dem. ‘ooratic party in Ohio is likely to be strength. ened by the weak-hearted support which the party will find ‘among the honost American Democrats in the northern part of tho State, led by such men as ‘Judge Sranpima, Mr. H, B.
