Mirwarnee, Sept. 25.—It is an old seying 2nd trus that eversbedy is wisé a dsy after the fair. Now that Tarlor bzs been charged by his own friends and intimates with the most shamelesa frauds apon both soldiers and tax-payers, wo remember that we 2lwsys thought in the recesses of our hearts that he wore & hapgdog look. It is imposeible to think he will be ro-elected Governor of Wisconsin. I hear that very many who first refused to behisye snything bad of their candidste have bocome ashamcd of bim by this time. Nobody ever feit very much contidence in him, snd 11 ho conld have been shelved it would bave pleased evers bonest Reform sud Domo- crat leader. When he euccceded in so fisicg matters with a few unscrapulons men,who dared not disoblige him, thet bis nomination by the State Convention was asuro ihing, nothing but the certainty of breaking the painfully-formed Reform partyiato preces prevented s stupen- dous boltsuch 23 wa Baw io the Republican party az tho last election of & United States Senator. You remember how, despize 1l restraint, several of the leading Democrais of the Biate nmt'ed in a manly, indignant protest egainst Taylor's re- nomination ; how secret meetings were hold to devise woys and_ moans to got rid of him ; how Dave Fulion, with borrible candor, whilst swal- lowing the bitter draught tuat was forced down his throat in the presence of the packed Conven- tion, notwithstanding the sbuzmm of tus pon- ishment, would rot bs s ed from ssying that the Convention was a burlesque upon the word @ Reform,” that the party had pow torned its back on its “Reform™ programme, that the action of the Conven- tion would drive 2,000 voters in his Dis- triet to stop at home on _eleciion day or join the Bepublicans, ana that Taylor, at any rate, was nndesirable, becquse there were stronger men in theparty. Thatlast avowal was tho uttorance of » half-strangled man who couldn't make up his mind to dis for princigle, and yet refused to liva, without. 2 protest. R Tho Reform party is in the majority in this city. It is, therefore, impossiblo to denounce them, 25 a party, as-Togues, cheets, and traitors; to o 20 wonld be Lo denounce ths community of which many of them are honored znd trusted members. Thinking, then, 3s ali honest men fhink, in regard to the ordioary affairs of life, sod unreasonable only on the one question of arty aliegiance, it is not to be supposed that Eheym be forced even by party pressuro to work themselves up ioto 8 fury of enthusiasm for Taylor. No lleg:bflmn in this city insults them by supposmg i Itis n’ot o sgibln the work of the Conven- tion will yet be undone, a8 it was in the case of the zusophisticated * Prince” Sam Rindskopf. Bam was nominated for Conrress by moens far less offensive and apparent than thoee employed by Taylor. First thera was 2 low rambling of discontent, then s roar of public anger, befors ; ‘which Bem just turned tsil. A few cold-bjooded, civil-tongued old Bourbons had Sam into a litule room in the Newha!l House, 2nd, when he went ont, his resignation, a8 well as the accept- ance by the Hon. William Pitt Lynde of the nominstion—made by the littlo conclave of chanky-braiced old Bonrbons—to the vacancy thus created, were found upon the tdble amid the champagne glasses. They are talking cf taking up Humiliation Taylor by the “scraff of the nack,” 80 to wpeak, and droppiog him ous of his top nine-story msasard-roofl wiadow, just in this way. * WE WAST IR PLIMEOLL. Will somebody ylease send word to Mr. Plim- soll that he is wanted over here assoon as he gets through with the Circumlocation Office yonder? e wonld liko him to take an intorest 1n our magnificont lake marine. T'he steam-ves- sels that prondly float the upsalted zeasis what his attention would be particularly directed to. Lots of white peint. with a wise use of ham- mer and pails and plane, have sent too many Lrave souls to a watery grave, and, unless Mr. Plimeoll comes along, sre likely to keep up the ghsstly average. Covering up the rotten places with white lead, plastering soft boles with a delicate walering of pine plank, and stuffing acres of oakum and pitch into yawnin seams, is a good plan for patching ap crazy oi huiks to float gayly where the perfomed breezes of eummer gontly kiss the marmuring wavelets; but 1t is sure death to send such craft whero the winds blow flercely and the billows roll moun- tains high, and strong men, and osk besms, and iron stanchions, acd wire ngging, are often stramed to their utmost endorance. I will not charge that the Mendota and Equinox were rot- ten old hulks. whose timbers had for yoars been given over to the worms, but ray intimate that they were not everything the heart could desire in the way of staunchness and sesworthiness, It i8 not anv particnlar retloction on the owners to 82y 80, Kince the same may also be said with equal truth of almost three-fourths of our steam merine, The story of the loss of the vessels named is like 8 pago from the **Arabian Nizhts.” There is something unreel, credible, about the eing away of those trecious lives. It seems that the winds blew and the waves ross and the enips went down, Thero it begins ad ends. Shipe weren't made to zo down like that. They are intended to fight the winds and ride over the ‘waves, and thers was nothing especially fearfal in the winds and waves that mght, thoagh thoy wore quite rough encugh. It was the condition of the ships that was fearful. These vessels geem to have gone down helplessly almoat as 800n a8 the strong waves setruck them. One would aay that their sides yielded under the pressure like wet pasteboard. DBrown paper boats ought to bave stood it longer. ‘These are reflections that must occur to almost snybody. I bavomede some inquiries on the subject of rotten huils, snd am told that it bas been for years a common practico on the lakes to buy tp ld barges past service, hoist boilers and cogines into them, put on superstructares, with lots of carving and gilding, paint the things, like courtesans, *‘fit to Il dub them “ powerfal, magnificent, and besutifal 8 ens of our laze maripe,” and send them to sea. They are usually fitted with & vast amount of now framework, which looks strong and solid, but this framework is put in mmplv and solely to bold the machinery and cargo fram goiog right through. Without new _timbers. thero wonld be a good chance in the first blow of the heary goods slipping quietly and easily through the sides or bottom into the ‘water. ere is no doubt—whether the ebove piciure is exaggerated or Dot—that 2 vigilant kvstem of inspection of our shipping is neces- A THECLOGICAL MISUNDELSTANDING. ‘There is 5 diffening between two clergymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church on theological points which is stirricg up the per:uasion to which the gentlemen belong to a red-hot pitch, the leanings of the congregstion in each case, 0 for as 1 can learn, being rightly interpreted by thewr xmms:euinwho conseyuently do not ‘waut for backing.

Without following tha learned pastor, it is sufficient to say that be confined bimself to the Trnity, eaymg he thanked God for revealing to Lim _the truo doctrina whilst he = was pondenng this grava myetery in the study of Spring street pareonazo the previous week, which revelation is In eut- scance as follows : That man is the image of God spiritnally, that man's trinity is, first, tha conscioneness of being—which is the great mys- tery which no man undorstands—illosirated by 1he word Ego, 1 am; socondly, the Lenad, or the divino inteligence ; and, tiurdly, the heart, or divins love. The corresponding trnity of thoe goducad is, for Ego, God the Father; for the head, or divine intolligence, God the Son, which is Logos, *‘the word ;" and for the heart, or @ love, the Holy (ihost. How this thing is going to end. nobody can foretell. It eoems as thongh Milwaukes was cot big enough for botl tho:e oxpanding intellects at ono and the samo time. COTZHAUSEN'S CROSS. Mr. Coizhausen, s leading Democrat, and & Iawser, who has held a foremoat place for years #8 & German politician, and who is at one and the samo time the most admirod and the best hated of his class, was appointed Publio Admin- | istrator, some time ago, ounsting an Americin Democrat. An application is vow pendiog bo- fore tho Cireuit Conrt, which, granted, will prove 2 serious stain on tho gentlemau’s character, In itit is afirmed thatin the ostato of one Guon- ther, deceasod, said Cotzhausen, as sdwinistra- tor, took a deed of ccriein property, worth about £5.000, from the decoased’s safe, and deposited it with banker Jacobs, she charge being that by w0 doing he converied it to his personal use, Mr. Cotzhausen nt once summoned a meeting of the Bar Association, intimating that nething wonld heel s lacorated feelings and woanded honor. Tixe Association met and—eiugular it did pot strike alr. Cotzhausen in that light be- fore—cemo to the conclusion that for tzom to interferc to fonounce one of their membazs in- nocent or gailty of 3 most grave charge whilct before a Court for adjudication, would be an un- pardonsblo im-ertinence, as well 53 & breach of professional etiquetts, zud an uncqualed sod uscless pieco of absardity, not to say bombass, and o adjonrned discussion on the matter till the Court hias rendered o decigion. Tt is supposed that the ecd sought in this in- stance is to remove the ex-Senator from oflice 28 Pablic Administrator. H BOCIAL DISTBACTIONE, INCLUDING CLOPEMENTS. We have mot been without onr diatractions this past week, Dr. Hatchard, a venerable physi- Cian, who has long invited scandal by his manner of life, has served us with an_appetisicg repast of that character. This gay old Don Juan baz a record as long 25 s confinental hotel bill of amours and ivdiscretions, public and private, professional snd otherwige ; also, two families, one of which is andivorced and resided in the sbort of a completo vindication at their hands i was onntry whilst papa searched for aflinities and fncid’e?mlly hngg out & doctor's shingle in tho city. Hacchard foand smong his patients an old chap named Cummings, an Essternstage-driver, who is credited with having thrown off the ties of an interesting conjugal lifo to fly to o nest of peace and bliss in the Wes, provided by the bo- witching arms of s dainty ittle grass widow, or something. Boariog the pams of Cummiogs, and wearing the form of forbidden fruit, this sweet morsel temnted Saint Hatchard beyond en- durance. He plied thearts of the seducer, and was himself sednced. The couple disappeared, leav- ing old man Cammings a prey to remorse and 3 cieeans that the Doctor has forgotten to finish curing, aud the worthy Hatchard family, in the innocent security of their conntry home, rojoice at their good riddauce. Miss Nora Desmond, a Nowhall House waitor- girl, of womanly proporiions and graces =nd a full'share of gocd looks, stricken foolish with love of one Suamers, an actor who played hero with the Rankin troape, ran away from her com- fortable home to get married—that is the way wo put it—to her loved one in_Chicsgo, but was either soured by the loved one not coming to time or forcibly induced to return, and is now to be foucd, perfectly Bself-possessed and defiant, well dressed and good-looking, 2t her mother's side playing datiful child. That 18 the protty pictare. Tiss true story is eaid to run like thiss That the girl was stage-struck, and Summers en- couraged ber with the prcmise of o position and marriage, aud, when the timo was ripe. the en- gagement was that of & courtesan, and the mar- riage purely ore of love sans ceremonie. Nora can do better than that hers, withort paying fare to Chicago. VIRTUE BEWARDED. In several articles on the subject of the inspection of wheat in this city, a8 comvared with the rates prevailing in Chicago, I referred conspicuonely to the honesty and ability of ths chief inspecting officer of Milwaukes, Ar. Hol- land. Lately Mr. Holland has been engaged in New York in assisting in the remodeling of the corrupt system of that city on a princinlo re- sembling our own, and, before leaving, an earnest attempt was made to indoce him to re- 1move to the Cmpire State. Mr. Holland firmiy rofused. On bis return home, these facts beiag learned by our Chamber of Commerce, thay met and adopted the foliowing resolations : W ‘Wo understand that s st effort is now bdnazn?zzass'h 1mduce our Grain Inimm‘. Mr. Carl- ton Hoiland, to accept a similar office for the Produce Exchaage of New Yok, at & compensation which is represented to be Largely in exvess of the omoluments of the o2ice in this city ; and Wi ‘We alioald regard it as s serious misfor- tune to the intorests of our grain trade to loso tho ser- vices of Mr. Holland as Grain Inspector, whose long and excellent wanagement of the office has cetablishod ction far confideacs in the integrity of oux grain inspest e preiaante of Maito ss s, Hnding taod 0 ence of Milwaukeo as the A ‘wheat market of the Continent ; therefore, Resolved, That tois Chamber of Commercs, whila gratified 2 the confidence evinced by the grain doal- ers of New York in the sound judgment and integrity of Mr. Holland, would greaily regret to lose his vaiu- able servicts as its Grain Inspocior,and hereby rencws tho acsurance, to which its members bave given ex- ‘pression at every annual election sinco its organizs- tion, of their appreciation of his eervices in that capacity, and of Lheir confidence in 1ia honesty, ebil- ity,snd unswerving firmmess in the impartial dischurgs of is responsible duties, Lesolred, That the Secretary be instructed to pre- sont 24r.

Epecial Correspondence of The Chicago Tribunes, RaciN, Wis., Scpt. 25.—In view of the gen- ersl etagnation during the past woek, we feel under obligations to our public school ofiicials for coming to the rescue gallantly, as they have often dore before. Some time during last summer the Principal of the High School deemed it oxpedient to visit with condign corporal punishment one of the young lady pupils, much to the horror of the young mies and her relatives, who belong to the aristocracy of Main street. Withont stopping to question the humanity or gallantry of the Prin- cipal, it may not be improper to state that his ection in tho matter made him muny enemies. Of late years corporal punishment in our pablio schools bas been of rare occurrence. Tollowing thoindignity meationed soove, soms vandals broke into the Hizh-School building and Lesmeared the floor and desks with coal far. The word ‘ Resign!” was scrawled in uncontn characters over tho walls and steps. The Board of Commissioners met to take the matter under advisement, and voted recklessly a reward of §200 for the discovery of the perpetrators. It has been sinco learned that the premium offered is illegal ; that the Scnool Board had no mora right o offer the £250 than they had to order tha payment of so much Peter's pence. BUNDRIES. The reading and coffee-rooma still continte 3 decided success, not onlyin the matter of far- nishing palatablo food to- the hungry, but lately it bas been converted into » mesting-house on Sundays, where tho ‘‘Word"” is dispersed to thirsting sonls.

A ramor which.was in everybody's mouth yes- terday, if true, illastrates to what an extent s vaulting smbition may leap when given fail swing. The rumor in question had reference to the pastorate of the First diethodist Church, the finding of a sultable incumbent for which has been the cause of much perplexity to its mombers. Thix is considered tho loading Mothedist Church of the State, and, in view of its intimate connection, in maoy wavs, with the Northwestern University and the Garrett Bib- Jical Institute, the pastorate is a position of coneiderable imporiance to the Church. Taking into consideration these facts, and also that the pastor shonld be ove who will malke his mark npon the hundreds of theological and other students in the villsge, besides mecting the wants of & chorch membership composed of materizl of a rather noususl literary and social charsoter, it can readily be seen that the coming man, to be satisfactory to the majority of bis flock, should be ovo of unusual abilivy and force of character. Such an ane the churca- ‘members have bsen anxiously sesking. Numor- ous names bave been mentioned, and a commit- teo has been busy for severa] waeks investigat- ing the quslifications of those whose namea ‘wero Lronght forward. To nearly all, however, no matter how able or popula, scme objoction has been raised, The rumor referred to seemed to explain quite clear- )y why ceriain clergvmen, whom tho Church favored, bad been declared inaligible—some- thing was by to meane clesr before. This - mor was to the effect thst Dr. C. H. Fowler w23 ““io the hands of his friends,” who wers makiag every effort to secare the place for him. ‘Whether this rumor be troe or got, it has cer- tain ined credecce among tho by no means insignificant puraber who may be eaid. to_be in opposition to the reign and plans of Dr. Fowler, and hea stirred them up considerably. Tt hardly seems reasonablo that Dr. Fowler should desiro to take a steo which wonld be so certain to decrease his influenco as would this, but his ambitions natcre is well known, and it may he that ha woald be willing to secnre the practical control of the Methodist affairs at Evanston, which this Foald placs in his hands. to say nothing of tho additional salary. Shonld thia “be tbe case, however, it will be coneidered strango thas Dr. Fowler. whose dutics a3 President of the Universi- ty bave recently been increased, shonld be able to ministerto a large church, when odjection was made to Dr. Ninde, who is ngenaral favorite, becanso of the claime which the Institute bas upon s time. On the other hand appears tho. facts that the Committes zppointed by the church has bsen in active oorrespondence with various eminent di- vines, and has reccived severn! telegrams from Bishop Harris on tho subject during the woels. OTHER CHURCH ITEMS. Ar. 0. H, Morwin and the large choir of the TFirst Methodist Church announcs that they will givo a concert & weok from Monday evening, assistod by Mra. Cheney, of this city, Mr. Ayars, and others. Considering the character of the entortainment, the price of admission—25 cents —is very low. The Quarterly Conferancs of the same Church occurs Saturday ovening. Dr. Fovler will preach at this church this moraiog, and the Rev. Dr. G- 0. Noyes this even- ing. e Tke large bell purchased for the Baptist charch will soon bo placed in position. The Church is nezrly completed. GARRETT BICLICAL INBTITUTE. The formal onening of the Garrett Biblical Institute proved to be an event of coneidsrable iniarest. Addrosses were made by Dr. Fowler, Dr. Tiffany, Dr. Noyes, and Dr. Raymond, after which refreshmonts were served, and & pleasant sociable followed. THE WOMAN'S COLLESE. Arrangomonts have been porfected for s conrse of lectares to the stndents af the Wo- man's Collego on alternate Friday afternoons.
