Tho beautifnl palnce, partislly destroyed by the Communists, it is found can be restored to its original exterior benuty and grandenr, ‘but the rearrangement of the interior is like- 1y to bo o matter of wide difforenco and con. troversy. Tho Wisconsin Democracy meet in State Couvention nt Milwaukeo to-day. It is an- ticipated that the Tayron and anti-Tavron factions will have a warm timo of it, as the recent controversy between tho leaders of tho two factions hns not beon marked by any grent degreo of affection and brotherly love. If Gov. 'I'axror's friends succeed in tho Con- vention, it is intimated that tho gentleman will so far sacrifico his personal interosts ns torun again for the Gubernatorial houors. Tho Reform Governor is not particnlar about names, There is only ono thing in tho way of his election, and that is o remarkably strong Republican Stato ticket. The Town Bonrds of West and North Chi- cego Liave entered upon the consideration of the troublesome question of approprintions for town oxpenses. They, too, are besct with a small army of officials clamorous for plunder, and, like the Soath Town Borrd, they hnve shown at tho outset a disposition to protect tho tax-payers egainst tho assaults of the salary.grabbers, and to hold them to the strict letter of the law in the matter of compensation, But good beginnings often end badly, as wo havo Intely secn.

The grent Democratio party of tho Keystone Btato is not o nuit on the question of the selection for tho first.named oftice; in fact it bins resolved itsclf into many and divors particles thot defy nll efforts looking to cohesion. Dispatches giving the temper of tho several most important delegations in- diento that everything will Lo far from love- ly; but still, in accordance with the current phrase, tho Gubernatorial goose will hang wuflicicntly high to causo o violent commotion within the Convention be- foro tho doubtful prize is secused. Ross and Hronen are tho favorites for tho Govornor- ship, with hinlf a dozen or more in the field, while tho main fight will bo between Rax- nart and Wannace for the party lendership. Itis highly important that Ravparn shall Davo something behind him beside his baro Songressional constituency, if ho would bo the next Spenker of the National llouse of Tepresentatives, RESUMPTION OF BPECIE PAYMENT, Elsewhere wo print a letter from Mr, Wan- zzy on the rosumption of specie payment, bo- causo he evidently represents the viows of a certain clnss of men,—men too intelligent to deny that speeioia tho bnsis of the world's cwrrency, but fonrful that an altempt to come back to that basis in this country would exert n deleterious influence on general business, ‘They form a class of which Mr. Henonics is the Intest oxponent ; they desire to fix their oyes on resumnption, Lut never to resume. They nre content with the ndmission that it will be dishonest not to resume, and then dis- honestly postpone it. They desire to post- pone it indefinitely, beeause thoy apprehend a commercial shock and want somo future generation to suffer it. 'The position is not n very honomblo one when analyzed, but this is what it means, It is the result partly of cowardico nnd partly of bad judgment. Mr. Wangex's fears ava entirely without warrant, o thinks that resumption will inflict a terrible injury upon a large class of the people, becauso ho has fallen into the error of dividing the popalation into a debtor class and a creditor class. Wo bave fre- quently pointed out the absurdity of this notion. There are debtors and ereditors, but they are nenrly always the same people. As o rule, the man who owes money has money due him from some other source; for with- ont resonrces of some kind a man is rarely permitted to run into debt. The shrinkage, as a rale, will benefit the snme persons whom it injures; and the greater value they receive in onoe case counterbalancos the greater valuo thoy poy in another. This is true of all who arenot bankrupt, or on tho straighl road toit, —that is, men who Lizvo no resources to moeot their linbilities,—aund they will Lave to go to the wall in any event. Mr. Waznex also apprehiends that a sudden resumption will be “liko an carthquake shaking the entiro continent.” Ho secms to have a curious idea of whnt is sudden, Tho only law passed by Congress looking to ac- tual resumption fixed the dato at Janm. 1, 1879, or about four years from tho time the Inw wos passed. Is that sudden? Tho dif. ference between greonbucks and gold ranges st about 12 per cent; at this rate there wonld be a gradual approach to resumption of 3 por cent per year, Is AMr. Waunen fearful that this will produco a panic, o shock, an earthquake? io cannot sustain such 8 prediction by the oxpericnco of the past. In 1868, gold~or rather grecnbacks fluctuated from 183 to 150; in 1869, they varied from 136 to 124; in 1870, they dropped to 119 and then to 110. 'Theso chonges produced no panic, no clash, no enrthquake. Tho pavnic did not come till 1873, when the cwrrency had beon more steady aud uniform for three ycars than dar. ing tho preceding ten years. Tho panic was tho result of inordinata expansion of credits, intlation of prices, unproductivo investmonts, excessive raflrond building and iron manu. facturing, all of which unhealthy stato of things was stimulated by an irredcemuble carrency. Confidenco suddenly gnvo way, aud the bublle burst. But the country,is now down to somelhing like hard pan. ‘I'here i no longer any chance for pauic, be. causo thoe recklesa speculators ave gone into bankruptey, and prices now represent actual values,—allowing for the discount on green- backs. Between 1863 and 1870—two yecars—the ourrency gained 40 cents in gold value,—that is, its purchasing power was incrensed in thut ratio, Now, the resumption of specic pay- monts, a8 contemplated by the law, will ro- quire only an increase of 12 or 13 cents inthe purchasing power of the currency in four years, If wo could sustain o change of 10 conts In twoyears without a panic, it is fool- ishto predict that a change of 12 cents in four years witl be liko ou carthquake, There will, of course, bo somo shrinknge, but nol to ono-third the cxtont os we lad al- rondy borno botween 1868 and 1870, But suppose tho gold-brokers, beforo the date fixed for rexumption, should have sufii- cient confidenco to give gold for greenbacks ot par, at n mero nominal discount, would thero then be an oarthquade ? As to the allegation that thero Is not sufll. cient speeie in tho country to transact the business, it seoms to bo based upon the ns. sumption that all the paper would jmmedi- ately disappoar, Thero is no reasonable ap- prehicnsion of anything of tho kihd, When- ever the peoplo find that they can convert greoubacks into gold whon thoy want to, the greenbacks will serve thoir purpose just as well as gold. Tha National Bauks will issue even more notes than they do now if thero is o domand for them, for the premium on bonds will be less and the issuing of the notes under the law will be more profitablo thau ot present. 'There is alrondy enongh gold in tho country to carry on our foreign commerce, sud this is the Lulk of the demand for specie for actual uso, I bank exchanges and sottloments of differences be- tween individuals will be conducted as thoy are now, with a beneficial enlargement of the clearing-houso principle. Specio resumption, s regarded by business men like Mr, WanaxN, is a mere scarc-crow, 1f they will go up to it and examine it close- 1y, they will seo how foolish their fears are, sud that it cannot possibly do them harm, ‘Tho Associgted Press dispatchos from Cali. fornia einca the suspeusion of the Bank of Califorain have not, we rogret to say, been free from unfalruess, ‘Two of tho nowspa. pers of that city had besn at varinnco with Rawstoy, nnd the dispatches from San Fran- clsca have, s a general thing, been framed to exalt theso two papers, and to make prom- inent tho **I told you so " wisdem of their proprietors. In tho efort to dv this, fairness to the bank and to Raraton had been to komo extent racrificed. Tho failuro was bad enough, nand thero was no occg\(inu to magnify or distort it, and, now that the bank s to pay el it owesnud to resumo business with o clean schedule, its owners shonld have fair treat- ment, In tho light of the failnro of Jax CookE & Co., and tho scores of othurs in tho Atlantic 8tates, where tho loss has heon in- finitely grenter, the suffering n hundred-fold moro general, and the bankruptey total, and tho dishonesty disgraceful, tho promptness of the Bank of Californin to pay every penny of its indebleduess, and of its owners to sncrifico their personal estatea to protect their own good namo and honor, deserves tho ap- plause of every man in the conntry, THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT, Tho Chicogo 77mes is very much ehngrined beenuse tho Government Commissioners now eugnged in {he Custom-House investigation havo not disregarded the advico which Tue Trisuse proflered when they entered npon their work. Without seeking to projudico their investigation one way or the other, wo suggested that the present Commission should consnlt with local arclitects, builders, and engineers relativo to tho mustainiog capaeity of tho Chicago soil. ‘Ihis the first Government Commission neglected to do. Tho present Commission, however, liave acted upon this suggestion, ns indeed they might hnva douo had tho suggestion not vome from Tou Tupusg, sinco it is the fairest and most iutelligent course they conld hiave ndopted. But tho coincidence of the suggestion and their aclion has sot the Zimes snarling in its usnal dog- inthe-manger style ot everything that omnnates from ‘e Truye, Tho Govern- ment Conunission probably know how to ap- preciato the utterances of n chronic sorchead, which endeavors to supply its lack of influ- cuce by the viciousness of ita sttacks. Bnt thero is nnother reason why the Chica- go Zimes snarls at 'Tne Trinuxe in this Cus- tom-Houso matter. T'ne Tripus desires to keep tho wholo affair out of politics, knowing full well that if the next Congress gots hold of it, it will be made a mero partisan wachino for manufacturing capital in the interest of the Democratic party at n large and ncedless expenso to the publie. Tho Z'mes recognizes this fact also, and nntagonizes the position for purposes of its own, The Chieago Z'mes has conceived o sudden desire to return to its first love. It shows o disposition to got back into the Democratic party, It will be re- membered that Mr. Storuy erawled out of tho Demoeratic party about the time that Mr. Hzsivo climbed into it. No onc party is lurgo enough to hold theso two Titans. But yosterday's Zimes announced that Mr, HesiNo was nbout to abandon the Democratic party and ask tho Republicans to take him back. ‘This accounts for Mr, Storry’s new afection for the Domocrats. *‘ Whither thou goost I will not go™ in the paraplruse of Rora and Naosnx os applicd to Srouzy and Hrsmva,™ So long ss Stoncy belioves that - Hrstva will sgnin fasten his destiny upon tho Republican party, he ($TonEx) will cast his fortunes with the Democratic party, and oice tersa, Tho first thing that Storeris doing to gain admission to the Democratic party, under the impression that Hesiva has left it, is to en- doavor to throw the Custom-House squabble into the next Congross. Ho knows that this would give tho Democratic majority in Con- gress just the opportunity they desire, and that they would make a lhandlo of it with which to pnmp up slander and vituperation upon the Republicans to uso in the approach- ing Presidential campaign. Straws show which way the wind blows, It is significant, therefore, that in tho samo issue in which it was announced that Mr. Hesixa was trying to get back into tho Republican party, thoe Chicago T'imes printed o leading cditorial ar- ticle, the purpose of ‘which waa to throw the Custom-House into n Democratic Congress, and mako capital for tho Domocratic party. Wo would have given tho editor erodit for sufficiont shrowdness to dirguise the reason of tha * flop,” but his anxiety to nntagonizo Hesmse wherevor Hzsmvo ig found betrayed him into making the whole mattor apparent, and defented tho purpose of the Custom- Houso article, - APPORTIONMENT OF TAXATION. Tho local asnessment for State purposes of tho renl estato in Cook County in 1873 was $114,102,780, and of personal property $20,146,165, making a total of S144,648,045. Tho real estato is further divided for taxation purposes into improved lands, unimproved Iands, town and city lots, The State Boerd of Equalization has before it o proposition to increaso thiy nsscasment by adding 70 pee cent to tho valuo of lands, 65 per cont to the value of lots, aud 85 per cent to tho valuo of tho personal property. T'his will give as the footings of the Btato as. sessment of property in this county: Real cs- tato, 3194,484,726; personal property, $55,- 770,403, 'Total, 250,255,181, * Tho tota) valuation of the wholo State is $1,025,427,085, so that Cook County is ap- portioned with one-fourth the taxablo prop- orty of the State, Ono hundred and six mill. ions of dollars aro arbitrarily added to the taxable value of tho property in this county, and an cqual amount deducted from the taxable valuo of the property in the othor counties of this Btate. ‘Tho actual cash valuo of tho taxablo property in this State found by the Assessora was moderately estimated in 1873 at $9,000,000,000, Asswming that it has not incremsed winco thou, wo find that tho local Asscssors have returned it at sbout ouc-third of the cnsh . valuo. The State Board of Equalization have by rcsolution crbitrarily declared - that it Lias beon rotnrned ut 50 por cont of its real value, Taking these figures, wo have some ourious results. If the res! valuc of all the taxable property of tho Ktato bo $3,000,000,- 000, thon tho local Asscusurs returned tho property assessed at one-third its actual valuo, or1,000,000,000, 'The Cook County roturn of §144,600,000 was about one-soventh of the whole, or, assuming it to bo one-third of tho real valuo, it showed taxable property equal to $183,600,000 real value, If it wero 50 per cent of theactun! value, thon it showed §280,000,000 as the value of the taxables in thia county. DBut tho Btate Board stepsin and rovolutionizes all this, The locul Aesess- ors report: Cook County, $145,000400; rest of thoBtate, §880,000,000; total, $1,025, 000,000. 'Tho Btate Doard, without chauging thototal, divide this: Cook County, $250,000,- 000, reat of the Btate, §775,000,000. Now, if the whole assessed value be one-third of tho real valuo, this gives Cook County a tax. ablo property oqual to $760,000,000 cash, snd, at the 50 per cent valuntion, cash. The State Board advertises to the conntry that the valao of tho lands and improve. nents, the live-stoek and the personal prop- erty, ineluding tho real aud personnl proper- ty of ono hundred and ouo countics, and of tho thirty or forty citles of the cntiro Stato of Tilinois, outside of Conk County, is only equal to throo times that of this connty. That {u fact the property of ail the rest of the Stato is deteriorating in value, and that Chi- cago is rapidly absorbing oll that is worth owning in Tlinois, This counly has nbout one.seventh the population of the State. It hns about one- rovouth of the taxable property of tho State. Any assessment which departs materinlly from this Lasis must be wrong and unjust. When tho State Board arbitrarily reduces the loeal nssessments of 101 counties to the amount of £106,000,000, on the ground that property in these eonntics 13 assessed too high, and n like mwount as avbitrarily is ndded to the val- untion for this county, tho injustico of such o modo of taxation becomes stril. ing. It censos to bo legitimnte toxation and becomes malicious punishmont, Its cffect upon individunls hes repeatedly been pointed out, Tho inequalitics of nssessments nre common, Thus the local Assessor may havo taxed the property of A at 40 per cent, of B at 70 per cent, and of C at 100 per cont ofits real value. The State Bonrd adds to theso valuntions 50 per cent; inereasing tho valuotions to 110, 140, und 170 per cent of tho cash valuo of the property, and requiring all taxes, State, county, city, and town, to be extended on that valuntion. Despite these outrageous results of this modo of doing business, or what tho Attorney-General calls an equitable distribution of taxation, there scems to bo no legal remedy or rolief. The State Board sagein pillages Chiengo ! INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION, Tho principles of international arbitration, first brought info prominence by the Geneva Convention, hnve been npplied for the third timo in the scttlement of disputes to which Great Britain was a party, ond for n third time tho decision hns beon ndverso to the Dritish Government, Tirst, Great Dritain was fined §15,500,000 for tho_ylc]ntion of tho principles of neutrality during the Ameriean Rebellion to the damago of the United Stntes, Seccond, the Germau Emporor decided tho Snn Juan bonndary controversy in favor of the United States and ngninst Grent Britnin, And now Marshal MacMamon has decided pyoinst Great Britain in the controversy with Portugal relative to the possession of the Delagoa Bay. 'This is n bay on tho west const of Africn, aud its posscssion is impor- tant ns an ontlet for some of the most valaable African products, It wns es- tablished beyond doubt that the Portugueso discovered it in the sixteenth century, nnd that Portugal occupied various important and contiguous points during the two following centuries. Portugnl hins nlways asserted its clnims, and tho sovereign rights incident thereto, nnd at various times theso rights were formally recognized by different nations. Xven tho British Governiment, s lato as 1822, tacitly recognized tho authority of Portugal by recommending a British survoying officer to the favor of tho Portugeso ofiicinls, A fow years uarlior there had been a diplomatic racoguition by a treaty for tho suppression of tho slave trado, All theso facts wero seb forth to President MacMarmox, and it is no wonder that his award was in favor of Por- tugal, Theso adverso decisions will protty suroly rondor internntional nrbitration somowhnt unpopular in Great Britain, though thero is no good renson why they shonld have such sneffect. "he decisions havo beon agninst the British Government because tho British Govarnment has been in the wrong in the disputes which have led to the arbitration, In tho Alabamo claims, tho United States could not have receded, and without arbitra- tion England would have been forced to fight for an unjust cause, In the Ban Juan Loundary case, the points in disputo wero merely technienl, and the tochni- calitiea being in our favor, the Ger- man Emperor was forced to decide accordingly. In the controversy about the Delagon Bay, England has for fifty yesrs as- gerted o claim which Lad no other basis than tho declino of Yortuguese power and enter- prise. Tho circumstance that the three cnses of arbitration have gone against Great Brit- ain, £o far from wenkening the principlos and practico of international arbitration, ought renlly to strengthon them, since each case hins led to a fair and just settloment. In two of theso casos ot least any seitlement ontsido of arbitration, either by diplomaoy or war, would Lave been still more unfavorable to Greut DBritnin, sod the justico of all the awards ought to strengthen arbitration o the mast rensongble and least costly of all moth- oda for tho settlement of internntional dis- putes. THE CITY INDEBTEDNESS, Tae Tupuse yesterday publishod o letter from Comptroller Iaves upon the subject of tho right of tho city to issuc due-bills or cer- tificates of indebtedness {n payment of our- rent expenditures suthorized by upproprin- tions, and for which taxos had been levied but not colleeted. ‘Llio lotter of Mr, Ilaves isfully covered by an oflicial opinion from Judgoe Dioxry, the Corporation Counsel, and tho two documents are indorsed by Judge C. B, Lawnexce, Julge O, Decxwiri, and by Messrs, W, O, Gouny, I, F, Ayes, CuanLus Hircucock, Fraxcs P, Peanony, M. F, Turzy, and EapeErT JAMIESON. Agninst this array of logal ability and expe- rienco thero s the lawyer of the Obicngo T'imes. 1t I8 hardly necessary to repeat the argnments, ‘Tho flscal year of the City of Chicago bogins on the 1st of April, and cnds on tho last day of March following. The an- nual approprintions aro mado on or before tho 80th of June, Tho taxis levied onor about the closo of Hoptember, The taves aro duo in Jonuary; but the power to enforco collection by sule docs not attach until August or September following, Al this scemingly oxtraordivary arrangement ju establighed by law, and the City Governument caunot change it. Wo havo in this arrangoment the singular foct that threo months of the flscal year oxplres before tho appropriations for that year are made, Nearly four monihs moro of the year eclapso beforo the tux from which theso approprintions are to Lo paid is levied, acd the great bulk of the tax levied for the ourront support of tho City Uovernment during the fiscal year s not collcoted until five months after the fiscal year hos ended! For instanco, uow, in Beptember, 1876, tho city is begin- ning to receive the revenue from tho tax lovied for the support of the city for the year which begun April 1, 1874, and expired at the closo of last March. Now, Licre is a case of a ity supporting itselt for seventeon months whilo waiting for the collection of tho rovenno from the tax levied for its support duwring the i twelvo of thoso months. The made the approprintions, and the was lovied {0 cover the nuthorized expenditure, According to the orgau of thoso who wish to repudinte theke certificates of fudebledness, the city han no authority to mnko o contract or crente a linbility to be paid out of the current levy of taxes, bLe. cause to do #o is to ereato **a debt,” If this floctrine were correet, the city could not nu- thorizo any expenditure unless {t hnd the money in the Tremsury leforehawd ; and then, ng the law prohibits tho levy of any tax exeopt lo meot an appropriation previously made, the city wonld find itaelf prohibited from making an approprintion for the want of money, and prohibiled from raising nny money by tax because of the want of & pre- viong appropriation. The City Government, like all other Gov- ernments dependent on current taxation to mect curvent exponditures, must ineur linbil- ities in advance of the collection of revenue, "'ho City of Chiengo has been aceustomed, in lieso cnucs, to issue to the creditor a cortifi- ento showing the mmount due him, payable out of the tax when collected, or of borrow- ing tho monoy on tho noto of tha eity, pay- able out of the tax whon collected, aud, with this borroveed niouey, pay off its current lin- bilities.
