THE SUPREME COURT AND THE CHICAGO CHARTER. The people of Chicago, without exception, are directing their hopes to tho Supreme Court of the State, now in sension at Ottawa, for extrication from thoir municipal dilemma. Chicago is o largo city with a most varied population, Property aud life depend upon the maintenanco of peace, and peaco can only Ve preserved by the supremacy of law and order. Unfortunately, tho affairs of this city have become complicated; an attempt was made toeflect alegal change in the form of the City Government ; to put asido ono charier and adopt another. Whether this was legally aceomplished or not, is o matter for judicial decision. In the meantime, the community is divided,~—ono part claiming thatone chartor is in foree, and another that tho other chartor is the law. Tho Courts of tho county have decided that the charter of 1872 was not legally ndopt. ¢d, and have granted & judgmont of ouster. The city suthoritics, who want tho clhartor of 1872 to atand, have sppealed to tho Su. preme Court, One side believes that the Sapreme Court will sustain it; tho other that Nobody is certain under what charter we nro tolive, Thoe wholo city nuthority rests on n quick- gnnd, until the Suprome Court determines it will be displaced and set aside, which is tho legal charter. The difference is irreconcilable, other undor the other charter, peace and reapect for all authority, tion, but as a true finding in justico, But the people of Chicago appeal to the Court not only for a docision, but for an curly decision, They wish to take away all ocension for the angry and determined con- flict which is inovitablo in caso the question is not determined beforo the election, All good citizens, of whatever party, look to the Court for delivorance. Thoy pray that hon. ored tribunal to givo pence, order, and estab- lished law to this city, ‘Thoy want tho Court to decido which churter is the lawful charter of this city, and thuy take away from dewma- gogucs—Irom the disorderly and unruly—all pretext for o definnce of Government, for o contlict of Governinents, snd for a dual elec- tion which i8 certain to result in cxcite- ment and disorder, injurious to the character and credit of this metropolis, The Supremo Court can, by sn early decision of the quo warranto case, put sn extinguisher upon all this confusion, and the people of Chicago, who are more intcrested in tho preservation of pence and order and the purity and legal. ity of eloctions than in tho schemes of mero office-holders and offico-scekers, proy tho Court to tako up this cuse and dispose of it at the earlicst moment. s At last the efforts of Tux Trinune to bring the Jnterior over to o realizing sanse of ils duties ud its position in the religions world are beginning to tell. It mo longer talks back maliciously or calls bad names, but Las indorsed Vux Trinons's call for a vevival of righteousness and honesty, and, after wgin the iwportance of the call, says : ,Thlv ks very good, The help our dally papers ean 2ve tho guod wory by sinoere, digoifivd, sod faithfal i roporte of nieting:, and by advocacy of the uced of to Buflalo, AHighwines woro dufl aud nom. | regious awekeaing, will bo incaloulsbles Becognlze yesterday debnted the report of the Com- mittee appolinted to draft an nddress in reply 3 g to Princo Miwaxo's speech on tho subject. of elections in largo cities, nud, in conuection Turkish revolt, bnt withont reaching any conclnsion. Among the Deputies thero is o strong party in favor of an immediate declaration of war and tho joining of tho Sorvian forcen with those of Herzegovina and Tosnin. ‘This party, it i said, represents the viewn and feelings of n large mnjority of the poplace, who aro eager to participato in the Opposad to this element in the Skuptschinn conenr wilh the majority of the Committea in tho recommendation that tho conrse of the Government bo left to tho wisdom of the Snich also, according to the eablo dispatches, is the policy of the Minis- try, who will resist any war mensuro nntil foreed to resign.

Instead of this, wo aro threatened with two Govern- ‘ments, cach denying the validity of the other. There is but one mode of escape from this threatened conflict,—fromn the dostruction of The Courts have been appealed to ; the record has been laid before tho Supreme Court. No mattor how divided ounr people may bo a5 to tho rosulls of the controversy, thero is an universal purpose to accept the decision of tho Court as final, pot only as o legal ques. ing the hopefnl fact that in this they are refiectiog puliie sentimant, we also understand very wall theic grent infuonco in carrsing that sentiment formard. 1| Wo therefore uay to thew all, tho very et you can da in promoting righteansness will i ftx own reward, and every honest help you give the canne of rollgion wiil 1iav6 tho thankful appreciation of all oo meu, Now, thin is sensible, and iy spoken in a Christian-lika way, We trast that the Infe- rior will remain in this mood, and not fly off or backslide. If it continues in this spirit, Tre Trtsose will take its young convert, the Interior, by the hand, and help it to do good colid work in the approaching revival, We havo no bad feelings townrds it for its rocent THE CORRUPT BALLOT-BOX, Judgo Doorrrrie, in his address to the Farmers' Associnlion at Rockford, mando o timely reference to the evils of fraudulent 0 therewith, proposed soveral romedics applica- blo to the mode of conducting the clections. In the first place, ho wonld have clection pre- cincta in cities ro divided that there would not be over 750 voters residing therein; that tho eleetion be hold in an open hall; that the ballot-box and the election judges bo upon o raised platform in sight of all; that election dnys bo made a publio Loliday, thus admit- ting everybody to tho means of voting. e further proposes that in all large cities the names and plnces of residenco of each voter shall be written on the ballots; that in cnse of challenge the voter shall bo identified and his placo of residenco proved by two known clectors, Theso provisions, lowover excellent in theory, nnd, if enforced, commentable as preventives of frand both in voling and connting, are not practicable in the present condltion of publis opinion. Taking the City of Chicngo as an illnstration, it is safe to say that the bummers, orlonters, ordisreputable voters, do notexceed one-fourth of the whole number of electors. Yet they control the elections, During near- 1y ten years there hins been but one—certainly not over two—ocensions whero as many as two-thirds of tho legal voters have gone to the polls, and in this estimate the whole num- Ver of votes polled is nssumed to have been legal. Whatis truo in Chicago is equally trno in other largecities. "There isonoe cluss of per- sons who always vote, and this class includes those who vote for hire and those who con- tract to voto as often ns possible. A much larger class, and one really interested in the result of elections, especinlly of local Govern- ments, never goes to ho polls, and nover votes. Theso persons go to their banks, their warchouses, their offices, their fnotories, their workshops, and their stores, carly on election dny, and stay thero until night, utterly indif- ferent as to the clection going on. They nro so indifferent that they in liko manner keep all their workmen and subordinates engaged as usual. During the remaining 364 daye of the year theso gentlemen devots them- solves to the dennnciation of popular elec- tions and lamenting the ovils of locnl Govern. ments choeen by the mob! Hicro is ono of the great ovils of our clec. tion systom, and Mr. DoowTTLE's proposi- tion to make clection day a public holiday is n wisa one, to the extent that it may compel these people to forego their private business, in which caso they may go to the polls and do something to rescuo elections from the professionals who now control them, So long as at least one-half tho population—con- sisting of those engaged in business and most concorned—~nbsent themsolves from the polls, and allow clections to go by default, of what availis it to lnment tho choico of of- ficers made by those who do attend ? The suggestions that precincts bo so ro- duced in sizo that a comparatively fow voters shall bo at one precinet is o good ono 5 it onght to serve ns o check upon the intro. duction of strango and illegnl voters, But publio opinion, ns exprossod at the polls, is adverse to any restrictions upon the means of illegal voting. Tho Legislature of Tlinois, made up principally by residents of rural districts, has repenled all laws requir- ing registration at local cleotions. It ia trne, the comntry precinets are swmall, and illegal voting at them the exception, and s registra- tion law not required st them ; novertheless, theso representatives of tho country districts hiovo ropenled even the feeble check upon il- Tegnl voting in tho cities by'roposling tho registry law, so far as municipnl elections are concerned. A registry isrequiredatStatoelce- tions, but the inducements for illegal voting nt n municipal election in Chiengo is a hun- dred-fold grenter than at n State clection, The City of Chicago might pay the entire tax levied by the State, and it would bo small compared with the local tax; yet whero tho frauds offer plunder aud proflt to the mob thero is no check upon illogal voting. At o recent town election in Chieago, ont of the 9,000 votes polled, it 1a conceded by the rival candidates that not over two votes ont of ecvery five polled were logal; and yet thoso two.fifths of 9,000 votes elected three sets of town officors authorized to lovy tnxes on this city of 450,000 inhabitants! Thero are not perhaps less than 75,000 to 80,000 legal voters in Chicago, and yet this broad criminal farce was openly and even ostentatiously performod. Mr. DoovrrrTre proposes ss an additional remedy what he calls housebold suffrngo. ‘This is to give householders and honds of families two votes: one to reprosent the mun, the otlier the women and childron,~ the family. This is to offsct the political ad- vantage enjoyed by the single man who rep. resents no ono but himself, by giving to the family a representation through its head. ‘This, at the beat, merely increnses the num- ber of votes, It adds, inlarge cities, to the number of malo adolt votes an additional vote for each family or household. It gives no ndditional protection to society, The family relation is not coufined to any class, The «class of porsons who vote for hire, who voto corruptly, includes a8 many families in pro. portion to their number as do any other class, Assuming that household suffrage wilt edd G0 per cent to the nggregate voto of tho city, then the corrupt cloass will have its voto increased onme-half. Tho present non. voting class, which is on an average hnlf tho wholo number of voters ju Chicago, wonld have its voto proportionately increased; baut, unless that vote were polled, household suf- frage would amount Lo an increass of the cor- rupt vote, and nothing more. It would give to this class two votes, or at least a voto and a half, where thoy have now but one to sell. The contractor who sells votea by the whole- cale would then bargain for tho delivery of 1,000 male votes and 500 or 00 family votes, and be paid accordingly. 2. As on flustration of how city elections are now conducted, we refer to the speoch of an aetive, iutelligent, and byno mecans the worst € | of his clss of politicians, who, speaking upon his knowledge of what could be madea certainty, declared at a public meeting that it there was no professed Democratio ticket run at the November election, the nominees of the Opposition would have 20,000 mnjority. ‘This wny #nid in reference to eandidates as yet unknown, and at an election where one pido iy resolved that the only issuo ahall be who in to handle the spails and plander of the City and Connty Qovernmenta ! Wo have no reason to doubt the tmth of this prediction, ‘The same power which may in advance determino that its tickot sball havo 20,000 majority could as readily deeide that that majority should bo #0,000. Of what avail aro Mr. Dootrrrie's restrictive strawa against this torrout of voting to accomplish predetermined result? Household suffrago in tho cities wonld only render such resulls moro certain and ensy of acenmplishment, Tho remedy for bad Governments, and the preventivo of illegal voting and frandulent counting, i8 in tho general patticipation in clections by nll legnl voters, If nll tho legnl voters of onch precinct will go to the polls on clection day; will by thelr presence and their interforence enforco tho observanco of tho election lnwa; will compel the nrrest of all persons attempting frauds; will personaily sco that men of good character and compe- {ent mon aro serving a8 inspectors to recoive nnd count the votes; will demand the inter- ferenco of the police; will act as polico them- selves to compel an open and fair election, thero will be no illegal voting, no false and fraudulent counting. In sbort, tho honest nnd intelligent voters far overnumber the opposing class, and if they would vote and would do their duty to themselves and to so- ciety, they would put an end to the suprema- cy of the mob. Otherwise tho mob, being left unopposed, will aveil themselves of tho privilege, e ey ANOTHER RATLROAD-RING CONSPIRACY. ‘We supposed that we liad heard the last of {lie conspiracy of the St. Lonis Ring to blecd the peoplo of this country for private gain, Dut it has now cropped out again in auother form, A dispatch from that city intimntes that n call has Leen circulated thero for o meoting of citizens ¢ to adopt measures for tho calling of a National Convention in this city, to bo held on Tuosday, Nov. 23, for the purposo of memorializing Congress to grant such logislation ns will gecure to the country the construction of another national Pacific railrond, which will deliver the peoplo from tho monopoly and oppression of the present rond, and for the purpose of considering such other mensures asaro best calenlated to ro- duco Lhe cost of transportation to tho people of the States between the Atlantic and Pacitic Oceans, tho Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, and the Mississippi Valley and tho Atlantic senbonrd.” This high-sounding declaration, this * secnring to the country tho constric. tion of another national Pacific rond through Congress,” means simply that tho National Government shall furnish the money, and in all probability twice as much money ns is actually needed, to buildanother Paciflc road, this money to e placed in the hands of construction company in the nusual way, out of which thoy will mako millions of dollars and then own tho road, and the land.grants besides, when it is done, This conspirncy shonld be squelched at once ns a bold at. tempt to plunder tha United Statea Treas- ury. Tle country has no money to spnre for such purposes, 'Tho people aro alroady taxed as high as thoy will bear, Thero is no pres- ent need of the proposed rond for national purposes or the general business demands of the country. If it is noeded for private purposes, thon it should be built with private capital, and that the Government iy called upon to build it is proof positive that tho business intorests of the country do not need it. Whenever n pgang of speculators want 1o accomplish any- thing for privato gain mot generally needed, thoy nlways sttempt to mako thoe Government furnish the money. In the caso of this particolar job, the object of the St. Louis Ring is to got tho money from the Gov- ormmnent to build the road, pocket balf of it, got the rond and the land-grants into their Liands, water the stock, gamble in the shares, and bave o good timo genorally, with their pockets well-lined at tho nation’s expense. ‘Why should tho rond ba constructed, even it times woro good and there wera plenty of money to build it? The country necded a Pacific road far businoss purposes, and tho Government needed it to tako caro of the In. disng, and Mormons, and other purposes; and the rond was built upon o central line, deflecting to the morth from Denver, as it conld not get through the mountains at that point, snd then bending southward to San Trancisco, which is o degreo south of St. Louis and four degrees south of Chicago. This is nll the continental road the country needs at Government expense, and it is oll the Governmont can bo called upon to build. Bt Louis hoy ns many ad. vantages from this road ns any other city, and for her now to como forward and demand another Pacifio road at tho expense of the nation for the Lonefit of Ler speculators, is a manifestation of impudenco which has lardly over boen cqualed and nover been surpassed. The rond which theso speou- lators aro proposing to demand branches off sonthwest nnd passes through a country of alkali, sand, cactuses, desort, and volcanic rocks; a conntry where the rainfall and prodaction are at the minimum; & region of sterile tablo lands and rocky plains, with only accasionnl patches of scrubby timber, where thero is only a sconty nomadic population, and whoro thore i3 not now, and never will be, business onough to warrant the building of a railroad at Gov- ernment oxponse. A Southwestern Pacifio railrond is about as much nceded as a rail- road to tho moon, and if this 8t. Louis Ring shall be successful in enrrying out its conspir- aoy, it will simply amount to tho burial and destruction of 8o much productive wealth, The schemo is cortainly not needed now. It is doubtfnl whether such o road will evor be noeded. It 18 a purely scotional attempt of o TRing to plundor the rewmainder of the com- munity for private gein ; s conspiracy against the ‘I'reasury of tho United States which shonld be squelched ot onca. If tho capital- iuts of Bt. Louis want & road built over the sonds and rocks of the Arizona routo, let them build it themsolves, Let them keop their hands out of tho United States Treas- ury, at leaat until thoy can show that such & roadis s great public necessity, and, when they can show that, we will point them to plonty of private capital ready to build it. [ A Tho election of the Rev, Dr, MoLanxs to be Bishop of Llinois is not only & matter of congratulation for the Episcopal Church of this Btate, as sottling the differences which had arigon by & jadicious compromiso, but it walso o matter of congratulation for the newspaper press of this country. It womis. take not, the Rev, Doclor was some ycars ago connected with the Cleveland Plaindeuler, and loft that paper to go into tho Presbyte- rian Church, from which he went over to the Episcopal threo yoors ago, e has now be- como a Bishop, and tho press baa thereby discovered that one of ita momhera is a suc- cersor of 8. Puren, duly qualified by the Inying on of hands, Wa helieveno other daily newspaper journalist hns fonnd himuelf in the direct descont, on oither of the threo routes, the Anglican, Roman, or Greok branches of tho Chureh Apostolio. The profession, thore- foro, has good remson to congratulate itaclf upon ita new-found honor, and to congratn- Inte tho Church that inasmuch s Dr. Mc- TaneN wna n good nowspaper man ho will also bo n good Bishop. All good newspaper men would make good Bishops. PR NEEY CANADA AND THE MOTHER COUNTRY. ho London 7imes makes somo curious comments on tho anti-vacelnation riot which oceurred in Montreal four or five woeks ago. ‘fhe trouble, it will bo remembered, wna oc- casioned by an attempt on the part of the Municipal Council to pass au ordinanco mal- ing voceinat-on and cleauliness compulsory. ‘Tho small-pox, of lato years, ns raged vio- lently in eertain ithy districts of Montreal,and pacticulnrly in those sections inhabited by tho Trench Canadinna., ‘Tho proporlion of deaths from small-pox in 1874 wns 143 in 1,000 among Fronch Catlolics, and only 4.4 among Irish Cathotics, and only 2.4 in 1,000 among tho Protestants. Yet tho Fronch Cathalics resicted tho effort to make vaceinn- tion compulsory, 'Fhis wns tho main issno of tho municipal eclection, in which the French Catholics woro defeated by n union of iho Irish Catholics and Protestants, and n ticket elected which was pledged to pass n voecination ordinance and clean up the city. Thut whilg tho ordinnnce was under dis- cussion, tho French Cntholics organized n mob of 4,0C0 or 5,000 peraons, procceded io tho Council Chamber, broke the windows, maltroated the police, stoned the Aldermen, and compolled them to abandon the ordi- nahco, in favor of which a majority of tho peoplo had voted.

CARL BC! OHIO0. Almost simultaneously with the news of ox-Senntor Bcuunz’ arrival in New York from Germany comes tho announcement that ho will cuter tho Ohio campaign 'in beholf of Lonest money and the Republican ticket. His ringing words: *‘No greater disastor could befall tho country than the success of the inflation delusionists,” strike tho koy- note of the six specchos he is ndvertised to make. The return of Mr. Scironz (o public lifo, nnder any circumstances, would be an oceasion of muatlonal plensure, but it is especially gratifying to find him thus prompt in the good work. Ho will be of groat sor- vice to tha Ohio Republicans and to the causo of honest monoy everywhero. As tho most ecloquent orator in publio lifo, nsn scholar, a stitesman, o man of stainless roputation, his words have a weight that carries conviction with it. His forto i persussion, Hundreds, gnd perhaps thou. sauds, of votes that ara doublful now will bo sccured for honest money by Mr. Scmomz! six specches, Ilis appearance on tho stump is far moro than an individual matter, It is of national mement, for ho roprosonts the views of tho Gorman vole of the United States to o groater degree than any other public man, Ho has always awayed o good part of that vote, oven when he mistakenly abandoned, for the time being, the Ropublican party, And ho haes carried it, not because ho ‘‘owns” it, but because ho is trusted by political friends and focs alike, and beeause ha is acknowledgoed to be tho nblest stateaman among our German citizens, Tis spoeches for honcst money will have the weight of hundreds of thou. snnds of German votes throughout the Union behind them, There is no question about his leadership pow. In the path he bas talten on the currency queation, the Germans back him up and urge kim to go forward, It this should bo questioned, thore are plenty of collateral proofs to be produced. The adoption of tho shinplnster resolutiona in Olio was tho signal for tho instant revolt of the principal German newspapers of that State. When the Pennsylvania Democratio Convention was captured by the rag-moucy men, the leading Domooratic German news- paper of New York, the Stats-Zeitung, published a notablo cditorial, from which wo make these tranalated oxtracta: No reasonabla man csn any fovger dispute that thers {a now only one means o provent tha betrayal of the uext Domocratio Natlonal Convention to the paper swindlars, aud this means consista in an overwhelming defoat of the Demoeracy in Pennsylvania and Ohlo, « » & For our part, we can attach no welght to the professions of reform of » party which Identifies ftaclf with the paper swindle, Agalost the cousequences which musk befall the political develop- moot of the whols country from & victory of the Democracy io Ponusylvavia, under present circume stances, any local suocosses of reform can afford no remody, We must, therefors, a4 we did after the Colnmbus Convention, expresply declare that wo wish for the Penusylvania Democrats just a8 sound s beat- Ing as for thslr boon companions on (he othor elde of the Ohlo, On Monday evening of this week, the Gor- man Domocratio Contral Committee of New York City adopted a series of resolutions on tho currenoy question, from which we quote s Wuznzsy, It 18 our firm conviction that the saccess and practical spplication of & fusncisl policy and reg- ulation of the currency qusstion sa demanded by tlie aforessld Democratic Conventions ara mot only dis. honorable to the Deatocratio periy and injurlous to the Democratio causs, but frsught with disaster 10 the country as largy, sa it inevitably sad unaltorably tends 1o infiation and repudiation ; be it therefore Resolxed, That wo entreat sud ehort the Democrati Conyention of the Btate of Nuw York, in Byracuse ms. sambled, not ouly to reiterate ita declarations of laay Jearinall that coucerns Anances, bankiug, aad cur- Tency, but, if possiblo, to 40 &4 with atill more em- phasts and positivensss ; and be it furtlies Besolved, That tn our oyialos o salumn dufy of enideavoring toarraat the (ldo of Inflatton and repu- diation which threatena to fnvade the conntry anik in- volve it {n bankrnptey, dishonor, and ruln, devolyes on tho Demacratio Convention of the Fmplire stato at (hts hour, . Ho much for the Demoeratio Uermans. Thera i8 no question abont the attitude of Tentonie Republicans, If the Democratic party persists in its present hendlong rush towards inflation and repudintion, it will lose tho mass of the Ger- man vote, Deprived of this, it has but a Alim chaneo of carrying a single Northern Htate next year.
