Nine rogularly orgmnized churclies of the copal body in Illinols have united in forming the Bynod of Chicngo, the first that hos bLeen constituted under au- thority of the gencral canon relating thereto, It is stated with confidenco in our Wash- ingtoa dispatches that the porifolio of the Interior Departmont will be teadered to Mr. Gronoe Dawsion Cozrsray, President of the Pennsylvania State Bonrd of Charities, and n gentleman of great wealth, though of uo po- litieal prominenco save a3 n strong friend of .

Such is the pross of impoestant and widely uters osting natter upon vur columns tint wo have not tha spnce to print Mr, Haxt's letter ; in- deed, wo should not print it in any cane, simply for the reason that it possesses no general intorest. It is the letier of an indi- vidual who is angry andembittered at having Leen removed from an ofifce which he desired to retain—n desire not shared Dby the Gov- ernument. Mr. Hax is evidenty s beliover in the divine right of an office-holder to hold office, but he rseems to lhave over- lTovked the fact that, though appoint- el by a Lepublican Administration, he s ceased to by o lepublican, and is at vavianee with ths party npon two essentinl and vital issues of the time—viz.: Lonest money, and Lostility to the Whisky and In- disa Rings. Being an enemy to his party, nud not having the grace to resign, Mr, 1lax was removed, That faet, however, is no warrant for the display of egotism and vin- dictiveness which charaeterizo the * open letter,” Mr, Han iy guilty of a ridiculons as- sutaption of personal consequenco in repre- senting that the mighty power of the T'rens- ury Department has Leen almost exclusively employed to effcet his downfull, 1t is quito certain that Secrotary Bmistow's energies have not been in great part devoted to this object. M. 1sx's removal could at eny time ba acedinplished by a serateh of tho pen, and tho fact that he was removed is on indication of President Gnant's doliberato conviction thint the Government machinery would keep moving just tho same, if notto better ade vautage, by dropping out the individusl Hax. XD. BCHURZ ON QOVERNMCNE CURRENCY. Wao trust no ono hau failed to read the speech of Mr, Honungz, delivered in Cincin. ndi on Mondny night lnst and published in Fue TRIBURE next morning. addilivaal forca beenuso dalivered by aman of infellectual povrer, who disclnims any per- sonal interest iu the success of cither pelitical party, and who discussed the question of the currency from tho stauvdpoint of ono inter- vsted in tha preservetion of trath and hon- esty, ond in tho avoidance of a policy fraught with countless disaster and ruin. e spoko in the interest of the nation, and his speecl wus a speeiel appeal to the Democerntic party with whom he had bnt recently ncted. Tho Democratic, of all the parties that have existed in this country, has been specially distingnishied beeauso of its hostility to paper money, aud the United States has been spared the calamity of au irredecmable Gova erument curroncy which has overtaken every other civilized Government that ever at- tempted it wholly beeauso of the firmnese aud persistency of tho Demoeratic party. Ils leaders have rendered tho financial policy of this connlry an eminent exawple to the world by the ability with which, from JErressos to Luciaxay, they had maintained an absolnte separation of the Government from any raspousibility for aony form of eur. rency or any legal standerd of walues save that of tho coin of tho country. Another and distinguishing foature of tho policy of the Democratig party, successfully maintained by that party since the foundn- tion of tho Government, was tho striet lim- itation of tho Government toits legitimato Eunctions, Jurrursoy, Mapisox, Moxsor, Avpaus, Jacxson, Vax Buney, Tyrien, PoLx, Tizncr, and Buciaxay, with the contempor- nucous statesnen of that party, rendered the Governmental polisy peculiar by insisting that tho General Goverument should abstaln from every intorfercnce with the business of the people, holding that this non-interference was an ndispensable safeguard of popular liberty nnd free institutions. Ar, Scuuvnz ro- ferred to thess points in the gencral policy of the Democratic party which had contril- uted so much to the prosperity and glory of the couniry, and under which the people ravoly felt thn hand of the General Govern- ment, In contrast with this policy of ebsolute non-interferonco with the business and pur- nits of the people, he quoted tho proposition of the Ohio Convention, that the Coneral Government should usssumo the function of supplying the country with paper currency of reguluting the smount thercof to ba circu. Inted ; of incrensing its value by reducing its volurae, and of reducing its valne by increas. ing ity awount ; of fixing o fictitions legal standard by which tho valuo of sll property might be ineressed or reduced at the will of the party accidentally in power. 'T'herocould bo no preator exorcise of despotism, no act of conflscation or robbery more fiagrant, than this investing the Government with absolute powor to enrich ity frionds and to impoverish ts oppquents,—to control tho wages of lubor fand nl values of property al the wero discre~ tion of any gang of corrupt and unconscion- nble wcoundrels that might happen to Ls in ofice. Undor sound Domo- crptic Government, with apecio pay- ments the wmount of coin in circulation wlapted itsclf to tha wantas of trade ; tho sur- phus tlowing clsewhere, and tho deflolency being supplied fromn withont. 'Tho Govern. mont dees Lo it that tho coln is of the pro- seribed weight and finonoss, punishes coun- terfeiting, regulatos tho bankiug system so a4 to reuder it tafc, und then lots tho curren- cy and trade in all their relations to take care of thomselves. Nut the Democratio party in Objo proposo that it do something mora ; that it issus an frredeomablo currency ; the paper mouney, having no iutrinsio valuo, does not flow out when in excess, ns iy tho case with specio ; sud the Governmont is to be authorized to fix from time to timo the amount in circulation. As the value of this irvedeemable paper declines with an inorense of tho cxcesd and increases with the reduc- tion of its amonnt, the power proposed to Le given the Government is cquivalent to the power to delermine the money value of each man's property, No man can purchuse property without tho dauger of having its woney value reduced ; Bo mau can wake & contract without huving its valuo subject to chauges by the arbitrary action of the Gov- eroment. Armed with this anthority, it isin the arbitrary power of the Goverament to re- -duos men to bLaokruptoy and ruln st ite pleasure, 4 We submit this point to tie coreful con. The rpaech has Ao tor Octobor, Kye was qulot sud stewdy | sllasstion of oll thonghutul seu, lilynaga. facture of irredusmable paper eurrency is no moro a function of the Government of the United Statos than is the manufacture of bread. 'The idea that the Glovernnient must issue papor money belongs to tho old despotiv theoty that all Governments are paternal and must do overything for tho people. The (overnment of tho United States, however, wad fonnded em tho very opposité theory— that the Govermnment was to no administor the alnirs of the nation as to interfero as littlo as porsiblo with the business of the people. Wo'hiave hud statesmen who insisted that the Goverrment should regnlate proxluction ¢ and that for this purpose it should tax ono yortion of the peoplo to pay bounties to other portions engaged in non-protitablo pro- ductions, 'That when one man produced corn and sold his surplus, o portion of that surplus should bo taken and given to the man who mads jackknives nud plated rpoons, in ordor to equalizo tho profits of labor among all elasses, This pternal systom las been nttempted in vavious ways. This manufacture of rogs into money never to le redeomed, vesls nupon the samo paternnl theory. The Government ia to fix the money valuo of the products and se- cumulrtions of the poople. Itis to fix the value of the weekly wages of labor, increns- g or lessening it ot plensure, The men who hiro as daily lr.borers at H2 per day in paper, or 31,70 in renl woney, may lave to tako their pny ot the end of the week or month in paper worth 50 cents on the dollar. 'This power of working the machinery of money-vatues s of necessity the most cor- ruptingin ils charaeter., Human integrity can- not withstard it. Clothed withit, no Adminis- tration conkd resist its corrupting inQuehce, and tho Ge.vernment oflices would becomo n den of thioves, rich with plunder, surround- ed by their followers and dependents, all feeding upoy the robberies of tho pub- lie. In feudal days, patornal Governments appropriated tho lands and labors of tho peo- ple, and thon paternally fod and clothed them; then Governments wers both paternal and meymificent, and tho peoplo were pau- pers. Every stop lowrrds paternal Govern- ment is also neeessarily in the direction of the pauperism of the people, aud there is no step of that kind of such alarming dimen- sious as to invest the Government with the power to compel people to take irrcdeemablo paver for their labor or its products, and to chinnge the oncy value of their property at ita pleasure, THE BUPREME COURT AND THE POLICE BOA "Tho decision of the Supreme Court sustain- ing the right of the Common Council to abol- ish tha Polico Bonrd scems to hinve been gen- erally coustrued aa an indication that it will aflirm the validity of tho election at which it is pretonded the charter of 1872 was adopted. There is no wirrrunt in this decision for any such conclusion. It hns been jumped at by those who desirothe charter of 1872 to be sustained simply for the purpose of holding® their offices from six to cighteen montha be- yond the term for which they wero clected. All that tho Supreme Court has decided is that, assuming tho charter of 1872 to be in force, the Common Conncil had on unquestioned right to sbolish the Tolico Board. The Supreme Court was bound to nssumo the charter of 1872 to be in forco, Deeauso (1) it {s in forco ns n matter of fact, and (2) if not treated ns the de fucto Govern- ment of tho city, Chicago would Lo subjected to a series of acts nnd contracts that are nall and void. It will bo remembered that, when o majority of the Aldermen violated the in- juuction of the Circuit Conrt and ennvassed the returns, Judge Wirniaxs declined to hold this convass os void and of no effect beeaudo of tho serious complientions and manifold litigation likoly to grow out of tha con- fusion that wonld follow such a decis- ion. While punishing for contompt tho Aldermen who violated the injunction and the attorneys who advised this courss, Judgo Wistxass held the charter of 1872 to bo in forco for nll purposes of city government until this election should Lo contested on its merits, The snme view was taken by the Circnit Conrt when it rofused to extend the injunction which the Polico Board had sued out against the city. I{ was sustained by Judge McArusten, of the Supremo Court, when apyplieation was made to him for such an extonsion, It s now leen sustained by the Supreme Court, which hns nover yot had the question of the validity of tho charter election before it. It would have been extremely nnusual for the Bupreme Court Lo tako n meve incident of the chirter and malio it o pretoxt for deciding tho wholo clarter question one way or the othier, without evidenco or arguments on tho general question before it. o decide that the Comumon Council bad exceeded its au- thority in abolishing the Police Board becansa the charter of 1872 is not and nevor has boon in foreo, woull bavo been to decido in effect tuat all acts of the present City Govornment done under tho sanction of tho charter of 1872, while in forco de fucto, neverhad a logal charactor, Such a decision would bo o gross injustice to innocent parties,—contractors, public employes, lonners of money, ole,,— ond it is not likely that the Supreme Court will take this ground, even if it sets aside tho charter of 1672 altogether. It will probably be held thut all acts of the City Government whilo acting under this charter should liave full logal cffect ; but this will not provent it from doclaring tho clarter cleotion illegal and void if it shall be satisfed that it was not held in complinnce with the law, or that tho majority for tho charter was obtained by fraud, The fonner quostion—whether or not the clection was Leld in a lawfal man- ner—will come up before the Suprome Court to-morrow for argument, unless thoe counsel for the ity scek anothor postponemnent. Meanwhils it is shoer folly for the * hold- overs” to persunde themselves, or endeavor to persuade others, that any decision recogniz- ing tho charter of 1872 0a in force for the purposes of city government foroousts a recoguition of the charter as having been legally odopted, and as binding upon the peoplo for all time, The change in etreet nomenclature and numbering which Las beon mande by the 'frustoes of Hyde Puark bas boen somewhat misropresonted or misundorstood. South of tho city limita every strect runuing cast and wost in Hyde Park is known by a numbor, from Thirty-ninth stroet up, clght blocks to tho mile. 'The strests ruuning: north and south are extsnsions of tho city avenues, such ¢ Wabash ovonue, Mlichigan avenus, eto. ‘Chero hna been no ohange in thess uamos, but the Hyde Park 'Crustees have alio num- bered thew for the better numbering of tho howses, ‘Thus State street {s alvo known as First avenus, tho noxt oast s Wabash or Scc- oud avcnue, end so on, Tho decimal system of nuwboring the houses, which is in vogue in Philadelphia and Bt. Louis, has aléo boon odopied, wherby sach Llock will bogin with anow hundred. Thus, if the first honse on Michignn avenue ronth of Thirty-ninth streot in 3,900, the first houso south of Fortfeth wtreet will ho 4,000, the first outh of Forty- firat stroet 4,100, and so o, 'Tho wame sys. temn will be adoapted for tho streels running enst and west, ns well as the avenues running north and south. 'Tho system is founded on pood senre, and will Bavo n deal of confusion in tho future when Iyde Park shall bo as thickly settled south of Thirty-ninth atrect as tho city is north of Thirty-ninth straet. As this condition of things is not very mnny yenra off, the ndoption of tho decimal systown of numbering s timely and proper. THE ONI0 ELECTION, The guestion is enrnestly asked overy day, How is the clection in Ohio? As the time appronches tho interest in (ho result deepeus. Thoe writer hercof las just returned from & trip through Ohio aud n Atay of romo days in Cincinnati, o hag mudo somo examination of the prob. abilities of thoe election. Iie has conversed with eminent men of all shades of political idens, Ifo lina fonnd o gratifying unanimity of belief in the nuccess of tho honest-money ticket. Educated Democrats declnre that the mass of tho edueated young men of their party will vote for Gov. Ilavis, The Western Resceve will poli one of its old-timo Dbig votes, and mighty mjoritics enough in itsolf 6 carry tha day, even if a large ad- verso majority were registored ngainst spocie poyments in the rest of the State. But wo «o not beliovo thero will bo an adverso mn- jority in the romainder of Ohio, So strong is tho feeling in favor of honest money among tho intelligent classes that ovon thero is hope that Hamilton Counly, in which Cin. cinnati is situated, will vots for Hayes, The predicted disaffection in the Repubtican ranks lins not appoared. "Lhe party has not gone into n campnign in sucll cxcellent fighting trim for several years, "Theroe is gravo disaf- foction within the Democracy. Thofuriousat- tncks of tho Cineinnati Z/nquirer upon Tnog- AN, Ravsey, and overy hurd-monoy Demo- crat who refuses to nccept its gospel of infla- tion dnd repudintion, have dono gravo harim to the Fnquirer's party and great good to the honest-money ticket, Finally, tho indepond- ent voto, which practically holda tho balanco of power in Ohio, i almost unnnimous for Haves, Thero will be senrcely n German voto, cxcopt of the Ultramontanoe class of Gormans, cast for inflation, and they only on account of religio-political rensons. Tho Cin- ciunati Commereial, an independent paper of great cireulation, is doing immense servies for honest money, It ig tho accredited rop- resentative of the independent American- born voters of the State as the hard-monoy Volkadlatt is of the independent Gormaus, ‘The signs aro that a majority of 15,000 or 20,000 votes will consign ALreN and repudia- tion to a common political grave. Sinca these observations were mnde, the Ton. Cann Sonunz has brought his telling logio and Drilliant oratory to bear iu behalf of the canse of honesty, iy coming was hailed with drend by the rag-baby nurses, Tho Kaguirer pub- lished o tiny twodine snnouncement of his speech in an obscure corner of an ob- soure page. It was'afraid to refuse to an- nounce him, and afraid to let people know of Lis coming, if it could bo provented. Mondny morning, the first column of its editorial page was studded with vonomous attacks upon Scuunz. It called him o pot of the bondholders, an cmissary of the Rorus- seniLns, n man bribed to spenk. 'The charges were false. "The Enquirer's crying out be- fore it was hurt showed ita fear of being hurt,—n fear that was well founded. 'Tho powerful specches of Mr, Scuunz will con- firm hundreds, perhops thousands, of wa- vering votes. They are no small factor of the forces which will dircct the result of tho dlection. WOMAN-SUFFRAGE IN WYOMING, Wyoming hns tried the experiment of woman-sufirage for somo yeers, It expori- once should Lo of soma value to political thinkers und reformers, although nu argu- ment deduced from tho state of things exist- ing in o sparsely-settled Territory, with no ciliea of oven moduerate sizo, cannot bo ‘ap- plied to o thickly-settled State, supplied with Inrga cities, without undergoing very esson- tinl moditications. Unfortunately, however, it is almost, if not quite, imposyible to dis. cover just what tho oxperionce of Wyoming has been. The papers published in or near the 'Lerritory and the travelers who pass through it give preciscly contradictory ac- counts, We ara in roceipt of two of theso contradictions, in the shapa of editorinls in the Laramio Sentinel and tho Denver [Rocky Mountain News, 'Tho Sentinel soys that woman suffrago has boen s splondid success. Tho News takes just the opposito view of tho question. Its oditorial containg somo rather convincing facta and fignres, while tho Sentinel denls wholly in swooping statomonts, These, how- uver, are interesting enough to desorve ropro. duction, Tho poper suys : We never had a term of court hete, held in & decent and comforiable place, with its proceedings marked throughout by decency and decoram, and divestod of overything portainiug to levity and blackguardiam, til} our Iadiea ware summoned to aitend aud participats ln‘a. nover had a Grand Jury here that boldly and uufitnchingly took hold to {nveatigato offensos sguiust decency wud morality, and bunt out and bring of- fenderd to punishment, tilt we hiad a Graud Jury come poecd largely of tadiea, Wo liave had soveral torme of court, but had searco- 1y Leun sblo Lo convict oz punish & siogle crimiual fur any crimo, hawever helnous, through the medlum of those courls, til .we got Juries composed largely of women, We did not havo a singlo election here without drunkenuess, ruwdylsn, quarreling, tighting, sud Dloodabiud, untl our wives, mothers, slsters, daughiters wero periiticd to sccompany us to the polls, We well rumomber tha tima when many » man stayod awsy frum the polls, losing bis rights of citi- zenship, rather than eucounter tho dauger and rowdy~ famu o zaust mest {n ordor to vxarce i, Hut all this n changed, Our elections go off as «quletly au any othor socal gatboring, uo watter Low licated a political campalyn may bo, of how Important thy tusuen &t slae, And wo sil polnt with pride to the susnlt, whelher or not we agree as Lo the cuuse which bias produced it, The last clausa we quote ia n suggestive one, How far is the downfall of rowdydowm in Wyoming due to wowan.suffrage, and how far to the migration into tho erritory of re- spectable, law-abiding men with families, to repluco tho previous gangs of roughs, cut- throaty, robburs, and prostituies ? 'The arti- clo in the News gives protty conclusive proof that tho introduction of women into political lifo has not yet had any appreclable effoct in cuusing the moral reform predicted for it by its friends, Thus, both inteniperance aud the social ovil are still tho crylig sins of the ‘Torritory, Tha systom of mixed juries, acoord- Ing to'the Nwes, has been quietly abandoned, on account of its grout domestic inconven- ience, Eloction expenses ary said to bave greatly increased, becauso woumen have to ba brought to the polla in cwrrisgés, The women of Larawmio, howaver, rovently adopted a res. olution that they were * as thlo to walk to 1, {ho polla us to chiurdls os marken® ‘Chat wuol | howater, that Uss paopls of Wiscouslu witt WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1875. iy a resolution was needod shows that tho prac- tico of liring carringes for feminine voters hind becomo goneral.” It soowms to bo ndmit- ted that there is mmnch bettor order at the polle. 'This may bo dua to tho prenonce of respectable men, as well a9 women. The women of Wyoming have one advantage over tho men,—theie votes aro not cliallenped. Ono rash man ohallengoed a woinan at Lara- mie. 8he dropped hee ballob and began to cry. Her escort theroupon promplly pum- meled the challonger. 'Tho practice of in- terfering with the right of a woman to voto carly and often has sinca besn dropped. The wisdom of thia is not appnront. 1t Is much onsicr for a woman, by changing her dress and coiffure, to vole several timoes thnu it is for a man, It i3 easior, too, for n feminino than o male minor to deccive tho judges of olection on the point of nge. About one-tenth of the voters in Wyoming are womon, In Massachusotts, under woian- sflrnge, moro than (hree-fifths of tho voters would bo womon, Sinco tho uuccess of tho experinient is 8o dubious in tho former, the iden will probably not bo histily adopted by the Iatter or by Htates liko it. In thia oity, would tho vote of Clark street or Paeitic ave- nue increaso the purity of olections in the Second or Third Ward? Gov. Kirkwoon nhowed n good deal of Delphic vrindom when e nunounced that ho hopod for tho “distant advent" of woman.suffrage. THE UNION PACIFIC RAILIOAD, The report of the Government Directors of the Union Pacific Railrond sbows thnt that corporation isdoing a very large nnd profitable business. I the year ending July 51, 1873, it earnod more than §11,500,000. Operating oxpenses consumed less than holf of this. The prospects of tho future are oven botter than thoe facts of tho present. A rolling-mill wiich the Compnuny has put up at Laramio reducos the cost of re-rolling mils by one- half. The conl used comes frem the Com- pany's mines aud costs, delivered, only $2 n ton. ‘The business is growing rapidly. Tho transportation of cattle is becoming n new ferture, In 1874, 262 curs of cattlo wero sent east from Cloyenne; in 1676, 671 cars. Within o few years, the incomo of the Company will probably be in the neighborhood of $20,000,000. 8o far, so*good. ‘Ihero is nnother sido tothis bright picture, however, The veport of tho Secre- tary of tho Treasury, filed on the lust day of the financial year covered by this railrond re- port, shows that on that day the Union Pa- cific owed the people of the United States, for interest which it had delsulted and which the peoplo had been obliged to pay, the enormous sum of §4,071,852, The Company not only refuses to pay this sum or any part of it, but it keops ndding to it by persisting in its defaulting, and so compelling the ne- tion to pny overy cent of tho interest on the guaranteed bonds, It is evident that thero is no necessity for this pemsistent neplect to mcet its obligations. The Company is solvent and strong. It Lasn monopoly of trans-continental traflle. It charges extortionnto rates. It makes great profits and dividea them between the ring that hins alrendy pockeled some 20,000,000 of discreditable, not to sny dishonest, gaing, "The road was built with tho proceeds of tho first-mortgage and the land-grant bonds, Tho bonds issued in its aid by tho nation wore pocketed by the ring. Tho stock is all wator, Not a dollar of it was ever paid up. Itis barefaced robbery to declare n dividend on this stock aud meanwhile default on tho interest of the bonds. Wo'regret to seo that the men appointed by the Govornment to goard its interests recommond that a compro- miso should bo mado with the Company on substantially the plan so impudently sug- gested last year to Congress, 'The Govern- mont Directors then stultify themselves by | saying that tho road isa vast and valuable property, eapable of returning to tho Gov- crament the investment it has made thercin. 1¢ this is 5o, thure should Lo ne compromise whatover, Lot the people collect their dues. 1f legislation fails to make the Company pay up, we can forecloso our mortgage,, in 1892, and run thorond. The oxperiment of State ownership might as woll be tried on thin lino as on any other, If tho Directors oro wise, thoy will abandon their persistent atiompt to cheat the people, and devota same part of their onormous proflis to paying their honest debts, " A DAD Edo. There is vory palpablo evidence that the “Teform " candidate for Goveraor of Wis- consin is unworthy of tho place he now ocen- ples, and it is specific nnd direct enough to disqualify him from holding the office again or from recciving tho voto of eny honest man of nny party in Wisconsin, Tha sceusution ismado by Cnpt. Osnren, o citizen of Grant County, based upon an aflidavit signed by H. L. Fann, who was & recruiting officor in Madison during the Wer. The substantial part of the afildavit reads ns follows ; In the month of January, ¥804, WiLLiax R, Tarron, wlig 18 now Goveruor of \Wlsconslu, was Chalrman of tho Board of Bupervisors of the Tuwu of Cottsgo QGrove; that at tho time lsst mentioned, to wit, in Jane uary, 1804, the said WrrLiax It, Taveon called on mo at tho Morodith Houso, in said city, and requested mo t0 8id in procuring wmen to Sl the quots of the Town of Cottage Grove, and at tha same time Lo stated to to thiat #ald town had futrustod him with fuuds suficient, and suthorized him to pay not to exoocod $200 to each of tho men golng to fll sald quota; and he farther sald to o that wo could make woney out of the busi- nens {n Glling tho quola of waid town; that then and thore the sald WiLLuu R.

FOI GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA, Judge Pensiting, the Democratio eandidato for (tavernor of Dennsylvanin, is havimg his record overhnuled mont mercilessly, Kvon the Democracy hegins o shiver na it neos ity candidato kicked from pillar to post by the TRepublicans, while the Liberals, who looked upon him as the champion of that political regencration of which they prate so uncees. ingly, are becoming wo disgusted that thoy will probably go over en masgo to tho Itepub. licans. Tn point of perconal consistency, he in as greedy and hypocvitieal ns Buerw, the Democratic hard-money-inflation candidatofor Gavernor of Minnesota, in that Loing n hard- money man he hns acceptod'n position upon tho rag-mouey ticket, and indorsed a rag- money Pennsylvanin platform which is tho very eusenco of fuflation, In his refusal to rosign hiy ollicial position while running for oflico, ho hna'shown that the clennness of his ermino in of little cousequenco to him, 'Tho Philadelpbia Z¥mes (Indepeudent), which ropresents tho Liberals of that State, saye : * Judge Prasmiza hns, by his refusol to re- sign his judieial place, dwarfed himself from tho leader of a great political revolution, that iuvolves n nation's regoncration in ita scope, to tho unfelt drift-wood of o mighty current. Judge Penamxe has turned tho great battle over to go hap-hazard as it imy, and, if suceessful, ho will wear an uncarned crown, and the bhrightest chaplets of the vietory will be lost in his tiraidity.” Not content with raking him with relation to his personnl eonncction with tho canvass, the Republican nowspapers have boen hunting up his record, which they find to be very bad. In 1863 he voted for o resolution declaring the unconstitutionnlity of tho Emancipation Proclamation; in 1864, against giving kol- diers tho right to vole; ond, in 1865, against tho ratification of the constitutional amend- ment abolishing slavery, and also for a bill to prevent colored mon from residing even tem- porarily in Pennsylvanin. 1t is stated that there aro other objections against Judgo Pensuria, but these ave sufliciont, or ought to be suflicient, to stnmp Lim out of sight as o candidate, If hypocrisy, greed, disregard for judicial propriety, and hostility to human rights, are qualifications for oflice, Judge Prasuve may be considered tho model can- @idato of thix fall's campnign.
