Kaiger WirLtax and his snite have depart- ed on their trip to Italy. TReaching Alilan yesterday, they wero welcomed with o grent show of magnificent cordinlity by Victon Esaycen nod his train of Princes and nobles. Menuwhile the prisoner of the Vatican mny be supposed to bo looking grimly on the royal junkotings, and wondering what they bode for Lim, - The Bishop of Montresl has unbounded foith in his capacity ns a dispenser of cursea. o has iewmed n pastoral letter advising no further inlorierenca with the attempt to bury Gunorp's clay, for tho instant it mingles with the surrounding loam in the cemetery the gronnd Lecomes complately aceursed, and the majesty of the Church is sufliciently as- serted. A clever way of settling the matter, since Gumonp is none the wiser nor the worse, and the Bishop bas the lnst word, The Commission appointed to investigate the chsrges made by Prof, Mansa of mis- management and criminglity at the Red Cloud Agoney havo at last submitted a very long veport with a convoying voluma of 800 peges of evidenco taken, Prof. Marmsn is sustgined in only ono count, tho incompetoncy of Agent Savirrr, whoso sum- wmary recval is advised, and whose roputa- tion is plastered with a hard finish as to lion- csty and prosent poverty. In every other particuler the Commission's report reflects on the Professor s an intermeddling and ensily-hcodwinked feult-finder, and vindicates ex-Socresary Devavo, Fourteen yerss ago, when the very oxist- ence of the Republic was imperiled in the " eyes of tho worll by tho certainty that the disunion schere would be attemptoed, it was no easy thing for the United States Govorn- went to borrow money, The first lonn of £18,000,000 netted but o little over £16,000,- 000, tho brlance being tho cowmissions ex- acted for tho megolintion, amounting to 11 per cent of the whole, Fourteed yenrs later, when the stobility of the Republic is domon- strated beyond question, a loan of $500,000,- 000, tho aggregato amount of the * new Fives," iu effccted at a cost of §2,255,000, or two-fifths of 1 per cent, Awx Evrza is not very successful in collect- ing daninges from her former fractional pos- tion of the hend of the Cliurch of tho Latter Day Saints.

Sheep were in fair demand at unchanged prices. Ono hundred dollars in gold would buy £116.75 in greenbacks at the close, An interesting sketoh is given in onr Wash- ington dispatches of the great Osage land the United States Supreme Court. In this easo the Missonrl, Kansas & Texas Railroad Compnny lay claim to a vast arca of Iand now ocenpied by populous and prosperons communities, which, with the aid of the De- partment of Justico of the United States, the Intter Deing also o party to the suits will resist with might and mwin this attempt to oust from their Iandy and lomes thousands of peoplo whe obtaiged thair titles through the Gevern- mout, and who have by their enterprise and indusatry greatly improved aud developed the comntry, Tho scttlers already have a de- cigion in their favor by the United States Cir- cuit Court, reudered juintly by Justico Miurenr and Judge Ditros, nnd they confle dently expect this decision to by 'nmxmed by the Supremo Court. The Repnblican County Convention, which meets to-day, shonld make nn emphatic de- mand for the appointment of a Republican judize of election at every polling-Looth in this city. If the clique in the County Board porsists in its rofusal to grant this, tho action will be tantamount to n public notice thnt the ballot-boxes are to be stuffed. 1t is well known that Mr. I{esiNa wan present at the secrot meeting of the Cominittes which prac- tically selected the present list of judges. That Committeo raked the gutter and the prog-shop in search of men who could be dependel upon to falsify tho returns, Can Mr. Hzs1xa afford to aliennte every friend he hag in the decent section of the community Dy refusing to allow his crentures to grant this simple and just safeguard to the houest voters of Chicago? Will the profits of the County Treasurership, if ho gets the office, pay him for siding with the ballot-box stuffers, the gamblors, and the political prostitutes by whose fraudulent votes his creatures hope to elect him ? BUTLER'S PATENT CURRENOY, My, Bexsawy I BurLes, in Lisreeentapeech at New York, formally explained and pro- claimed Mis system of currency, Wo give it in full in his own languago : First—A dollar that sball have nt all times a certaln fzed and stablo valne helow which it cannot go, Second—~T demand that that dollar sha¥l be isaued by the Government alono ju the exerciso of ita high pre- rogative and constitutionsl powor, and that that power shatl not begelegated to any corporation or individual, Third—1 want that doller stamped upon some con- veulent and choap material of tho least popsiblo in- triugle value, 50 that nelther ity wear nor ita destruction wilt boany loss to the Governmant feaulng it, Fonrth—1 8130 desiro tho dollar to be made of such material for the purposo that it sball never Lo ex- ported or desirablo to carry out of the country, Fram- ina an American system of finance, I do siot proposo toadapt it to the wanta of any other nation, and e peclally tho Chinoso, who aro nearly one-quarter of tha world, Futh—T destro that tho dollar a0 fesned ahall never e redecined, 1600 o iore Teascn why the unit of menzure of valuo should be rodecmed or redeemable than that tho yard-stick with which I measure my ololb, or the quart with which I measure my milk, should be redeomod. Suth—TFor convenlence only I proposs that the dol- far 50 fesned shall be quite equal to, or a little better than, the present valuo of the average gold dollar of the world, not to be changed or changeable, if the gold dollur grows lower 1u ¥alue orgrowa higher, or to Do oblied to conform {tself in value insny regard to tuo dollars of any other nation of the world, keepina not pass for a dollar, no wmatter how many stamps may be branded on it ; nor will the cloth or milk rold with false mensures be nc- cepted 09 a yard or quart, but will be paid for in their exact proportion to the actual quantity delivered. But Mr. Bureen proposes that his patent irredeemnble money, stamped by tho 'L'reas- ury, shall have a value ** nlways stablo and fixel” How this enn bo dous when the money has wno iutrivsic value, and has no connection with gokl or any other thing hav- ing avnlue, is one of the peculinr fentures of the whole intlation scheme, He proposes that these notes, simply stamped * United States of America, ono dollar,” shall bo is. sued in the purehaso of the 5 per cent United Sintes bonds held by the batiks, nnd that the holdees of these notes may deliver them at the 'Preasury and reccive therefor bonds bearing 3-63 per eent interest,—theso bonds mever to bo redeemed, but the bonds themselves being convertible at plens. wro into the jrredecmiallo curroncy. 'Tho currency, therofore, will always bo below the valuo of the bonds, The present 5 per cent gold-interest bonds, payable at maturity in gold, aro worth for investment about 100 cents ou tho dollar in coin. T'he 8.ti% paper bonds, interest in papor aud principal never to be paid, will be worth, what? What sum will 3-65 annual interest payable in irredeomable paper be worth? 8hiall it be 20, 40, 60, or 70 cents? Aud the convertibility of the paper mouey into these bonds is the patent inven- tion which is to give tho enrrency a * stable and fixed valng,” ** equal to or a little better” than the gold dollar ! The United States annunlly purchaso six hundred millions of dollars (gold) of property from other countrica. For this wo pny with our exports as far as they go, and the balance wo pay in gold. All the interest on our obli. gntions held in Europe is of coule payablo in gold; we pay for our sugnr, tea, nnd cofies mainly in gold, the foreign nations producing theso three articles purchasing but little from us. We must have the gold to export for these payments, How are the importers to get the gold for this purpose? American cousumers pay their grocers in paper, and will do the seme with Burren's patent paper. The importor receives this paper from his customers, How is hie {o remit a non-export- nblo money to pay for his sugar, tes, and coffeo ? 1lo enn only do as he does now, take his paper round {he sireets and sell it for whatever gold he can find persons willing to givo him for it, That settlea the value of tho currency. The holders of gold may offer him 20, or 40, or 60 cents on the dolar for it. The currency hns no redeemer, and the man must sell his paper for precisely what is of- fered for it by the gold broker. 'That is the way wo do business row, and that is the way e must do business with Burezs's currency; the present currency has a value which fluc- tuates from day to day and hoar to hour, and any other irredcemnbla currency must be sub- ject to tho same imperious law, It is the sum of gold we can obtain for greenbacks thint settles the value of tho Intter. Itisim. material how much gold we have to export. So longas we must pay our foreign debts with gold, so long will the price of greenbacks in gold determine the valuo of the paper. It is unnocessary to say that that value will always continue tofluctuate. It fluctuates now from BG to 40 contson the dollar, but when the currency is declared irradeomable oxcept in a bond wkich is never to be paid, and bears but 3.5 interest in paper, the fluctuntions will ba be- tween flgures much lower than thoss which rule at prosent. THE REPUBLICAN GONVENILJ.. TO-DAY. It is not too lute for the Republican Con- vention to resist the influonco which the ttae's alwaya stadle and fized, 5o that when ail the prop- erts of the country adjusts itaelf to it as & measure of valuo it shall remain » fixed standard forsver, Ineed 20 0 fursher thau our prescat greenback for alf theso dealred quaiities, including uniformity of value ln all parts of the country escept in fized and intrinaio value, If those two quslitia can ba added to the greenback, it complotely flls tho six requirementa whifch T havo abova set forth, provided at thaught of s redeemalsiity in gold and silver be token away Srom it 1t is difficult to roconcile this plan and the speech which accompaniod it with Mr. Bur- LEn'd repatation for intelligence. 'The wholo utteranco presents n most remarkeble confu- sion of idens, bordering on insanity, It is somothing such ag might have been said by o man whose capacity for continuous and re- concilable thought had been lost. It does not convey the iden of ignorance exactly, but of a disordered montal condition, a8 if the spenlker was lnboring under sowe overwhelm- iug delusion and total misconception of tho subject on which hie was talking. He has discovered a new office for money, and has discovered s now money, AMan. kind has hitherfo employed mouey as an agent for the transfer of commodities, it hav. ing an equivaleut value, or a value represont- ing all other values, and exchangeablo for all other commwodities. Mr. BurLen proposes to abolish mouey in this sonse, and to have mouney which have shall have no value of it self whatever. The element of value in the money is to bo exeluded. 1t is to be made of the materinl having tho loast possible value, and n reason therefor in ** so that neither its wenr nor its destruction will bo any loss to tho Government issuing it.” He is ovidently Saturday of thia week aa the timo for such oxplanation, It is evident that no such thing aa justice, foirness, or oven common decency, can to luoked for at the hands of the County Com. wissioners in the mattor of judges of elews tion. A strenuous attemapt was mado ot yes. terday's mecting of the Bosrd by Commis. siouers Crovou and Jones to accuro {ho re- vision of tho list so far os to appoiut at ench precinet one judge, recommended by the lte- publican Cetral Committes. The Opposi- tion Ring in the Board would scarcely consent to the introduction of the subject, and camo nesr adjourning while the matter ‘wus peuding, The most they would do was to refer tho propcsition to the Committeo on Public Servicoe—the samo clique of Hesingitos that reported the original list, But one more effort in behal? of an bonest election can be made, and that will be in the shupo of per- emptory demand by the Republican Conven- tion to-day, The Ohicago produce markets wero {rregu- lor yesterday, graln being weak.

As we pre- dictod, they had their agents at work yester- doy at the primaries to help in the selection of delegates who would carry out this project. Just how much they have accomplished in this diroetion it is not possible at this wmoment to say, They will continua their work to-day in the Conventlon itself. They know that & weak Republican ticket will assuro their success. 'They are not as confident of victory against the Repub. lican party, when there is no issue oxcept ns to the responsible admigistration of the offices, s they wera two yonrs ngo when tha Tepublican party did not nominate a ticket, sud when the Germsn Republicans voted with them on o question of persopal rights. They eau only attain tho offices they areseck- ing this year by such indifference on the part of tho tax-psycrs and respectable voters that they will not go to the polls, This indiffer- enco, if such there shall be, will be tho result of Republican nominationa not ealculated to bring out o full vote. If aset of nameabe prexcnted, however, each of which will com- mand immediate respect and confidence, there will not only bo a large Republican voto cast, but the ticket will be supported by wany respectable Democrats who will refuse to sauction with their votes the continuanco of the dangerous coalition which Mr. Hesmva now leadls. ‘Wae appeal to every right-minded delegate in the Republican Convention to put aside every personal considoration, and resist every inftuence that may havo boen or may still be brought to bear upoa him, in favor of candi- dates not likely to appeal to the support of tax-payors. Itls o tax-payers’ tickol that is needed to oppose tho tax-oaters’ ticket. Tne ‘I'nmnuse hos no particular candidate for any office. It is only interosted in the success of Lonest men, and in the defeat of a political combination that menaces Chicago with pluu. der and baukruptey. This is tho logical out- come of confliding county and municipal trusts to a st of nien nominated and elected by tho influonca of publio contractors, gamblers, thieves, confidence-men, bummens, and tho classes by whom they aro surround- ed. 'The only way in which this dangerous combination can be defentod ia through tho Republican party, for thero is no other re- sponsiblo politicnl organization that will un- dertnke the work, Ard there is only one way in which tho Republican party can defeat it, aad that is by the nomination of men whom the taz-payers can trust implicitly from the moment their names nre sunounced, and who will bring out the entire respectabla vote of the community. This is the work before the Conventlon to-day, and every delegats should hold himsel? personally responsible for the result, It Judge M a8 detormined to come down from tho high bench of tho Su. premo Court aud take & seat in a nist prius court of this county, it way not be untimely to ask Who is to take Judge MoArvrwszen's place onthe Bupreme Bench ?

Wo know Judgo AMcAtustin; have confldence in his integrity, Weo nll believo ho cannot be corrupted. But we know nothing of the man who hns been fixed upon in advance to tnke his place. Cannot somebody inform the public on this point? Terhaps the best thing and the wafest thing the peoplo can do is to vote to keep dndge MoArLsten on the bench of the Supreme Court. In bim wo aro suro of nn honest Tadge, and while No is there ho will |kcep perhaps a dishonest mau seekivgg the placo for n dishonest purpose out of the Court. Tet us know the man boforo tho change is made, If ho be fit for the place, there can be 1o harm done in letting the pub- lic know his name. THE NEW ROGTE TO NEW YORK. Another ovidence thot s small thing in itaelf may lead to quick reenlts is furnished by the formation of a new, direct railrond connection between Now York and Chieago by the janeturo of tho Raltimora & Olio and the Erie Railronds. This hos como about as the result of a guarrel over two sleeping-car lines,—the PrLLyay and the Waexer, Mr, Puniyax's contract with the Vanperpint lines expires tho first of next wonth, And a short time ago ho was notifled that it would not bo renewed. Mr. Purraax hag been un~ ablo to ke any terms whatover with the VaxpenotrT interest, which even refused to buy tho elegant cars that have been running on the rond at any valuation, Tho seceret of this determination is understood to bo Mr. Vasperpier's large privato interest in the ‘WaoNER sleoping-cars, In doferonce to this interest ho does not hesitato to smcri- flco tho comfort of the traveling public nor tho profit of tho stockholders in tho various roads which ho controls. The exclusion of the PurLyax ears from the Now York Central naturally carried with it tho Micligan Southern, the control of which is identical with the New York Central, and which has been tho main Western tonder of tho latter. Meanwhile, Mr, Vanpernint has sccared control of the Michigan Central, which bad been throwing the bulk of its through business to the Erie Road, and the Porianan cars woro likowise ordered off thi rond. It was tho latter move that led tho Erio Road to seck o now outlot to the West, and the Punrwan Company s new route to the East. Both these projects have succeed- ed by the joining of the Chicago branch of the Baltimoro & Ohio Road with the Erie Road. By thisarrangement Mr. Vaxpernint is confronted with a formidable combination in Messrs, JEwerr and Gangerr, and Mr, Portaan may still disputo with Waoves the Eastern travel and upon equal ground, The new road to the East will bo in opern. tion by tho 1st of next month, It runs over the Baltimore & Obio track ns far as Bhelby Junction, n distanco of nearly 300 miles, snd near Mansfleld, O.; hero tho Erio Road takes the through business, froight, and pnssengers, runs it to Cleveland; thenco overthe Atlantio & Great Wostorn (operated by the Erlo) to Salamanca, and from Salamancs, on the Erie proper, to New York., This arrangement will intorfore in no wise with the Baltimora businesa done by the Baltimore & Ohio; it has now a New York partner where it former. ly had & New York competitor. The new lins can scarcely fail to becomo popular asa pessonger route with the Porusax cars through without change, a smooth road, and tho admirnble management that has always charactorized every road under tho rontrol of the Baltimors & Ohfo people. ‘ho gen. eoral public this new arrangement i1 one of inestimable pdvantage. It bins already been abundantly demonstratod that the Baltimore & Olio can ran traing ata profit at lower ratos than any competing company, and, whather or not there be an open warfare from the beginning, including a notable reduction in rates, it is certain that both tho freight and passenger tariff the year around will be mo. terially less than heretofore, The new combination has & spucial interest for Clicago, not morely becauso this city ia the principal beneficlary ‘of tho wew com- pelition, but becauss the combination will lesd in all probability to the build- ing of a Union Depot on the lake front. This combination ropresents s through route to Baltimore and a through route to Now York,—as largo a railrond interest com- bined as any other centering in Chicago. Tho business which the combination is protty sure to get will require large depot faeilitios, ond every consideration suggosts tho location of such a dopot on tho lake front. Here will be an opportunity for the city to sell th proporty which it ought to hava sold before, unless the individual corrupt greed of the Aldermen’s ring induces them to overreach themselves ngain. Tho next timo a reason. able offor is made the city for that property, we think tex-payers will assert thoir influence to have it sold. ——— METHODISTS AND EPISCOPALIANS, Tho discussion between the Methodists and Epiecopalions relative ta tha reunion of theso two great Churchies grows in intoreat as it progresses, and iy attracting very wido. sprend attention. A brief resumo of the dls- cassion will be of interost, Tur Trinung, os will bo romembered, opened the caso with an articlo showing the ndvantages that would flow from a union of the two denominations. ‘Tie TnivuNe virtually took tho ground that they were mother and daughter, and that thoy oughit no longer to dwell apart, having the samo habits, feelings, beliefs, and modes of thonght and worship. Thisarlicle brought out avespouso from a talented Episcopalian clergyman, showing that the ** mother " was anxious for the * daughter” to come back, oud had been auxious for many years, —t0 anzfous, in fact, that the offer to como back lind been, and was atill, standing, The door was continually open, aud all that tho ** daughter " had to do was to accept certaln easy conditions and walk in, To this the Methodist Epfscopal Bishop of tho Diocess mudé reply, setting up certain formidable-looking obatacles that stood in the woy of the union. Among thom, first, -that it would interfere with the peculiarly Metho- distio praciioe of itinerscy ; ond, second, that the Methodist Dishops would have to be reconsecratod, a8 not being in the regular Apostolio sucoession, nccording to the Eplaco- palian idea, The first poiut they wero not roady to yleld. Asto the second, they claim. od that their Bishops were regularly conse- crated, but as the Fpiscopalians would not concade this point the union was impossible. The Episcopalisn, clergyman, howover, did not give up the ship. Inhia first veply he intimated that itineracy was not an {nsor. mountable obstacle to the unlon, as the XEpiscopalisns were resdy to scept it in n modified forn, Tu a second srticle lie takes up the consocration question, and makes bad work with thoe position assumed by the Methodist Bishop, Tho latter had allirmed, mainly from rumor aud hearsay, the Church tradition that some (ireck Bishop from the vicinity of Constantinople, visiting in London, lind made Wester n Bishop in the regular succession by the imposition of hands., Tho Episcopalinn writer shows this was not n fact; that Wesansy nover claimed it; that his papers and diary contain no mention of it; that Westex's own brother denied tho trnth of the story; aud that it wns o myth, Hence, suma up the Episco- pnlian, Wrsrey was never n Bishop, conse- crated in the regular succossion from the Apostolie period. Here the discugsion halts with this appar. ently insurmountablo obstaclolooming up be- tween mother and danghter. But s it insur- monntable? Wa believe that Bishap Cosr- 188, of the Reformed Episcopal Church, ian Tegulasly consecrated Bishop in the Apostolio Chureh, having been conncerated beforo his schism. Oncen Bishop, always a Bishop. How would it do, thorefore, for the Meth- odist Episcopnls to annex him and lot him ‘“vaceinate " the Methodist Bishop, and thus bring them all into line? Thera i really no differenco between tho Reformed Episco- palinus and the Methodists, and they might Join hands without any reservation whatever, The Episcopalian Mothodists wouldthus have ono Bishop with erodontials rencling back to Prren, who could immediately legitimatizo all the others, and thus remove any doubts whether their Bishops aro regularly or frrog- ularly consecrated, and pave the way for a grand entreo into tho Protestant Episcopal fold, which would only be too glad to wel- come them nnd continuo the conseoration ad infinitum, placing their Bishops on an equal footing with thoir own. In the attainment of this groat objeot, Trx Trmuse will be glad to lend its assistance, Tue TrinuNe is the great intermediary be. tweon tho socts, It brings them in contact ond communication with each other, They have no opportunity of hearingono another, Thoy do not resd ench other's books or pa- pers. The Nurthwestern Christian Advocate is not read by the readers of the Diocets or Churelaman, and tice versa. The readers of the Standard nover sco the Advanceor In- terior, nnd the Adrance renders rarely seo the Catholic Pilol, and #o on through all the geets.
