Both candidates are Germans, but hero the purallel stops. Their antecedents, their politieal records, their po- litieal purposes, their constitucuncies, and their sympnthics, all differ. They differ most of all in the fact that Mr. Huox will have the support of the respectability, the wmorality, the honesty, and the intelligence, not only of Americans, but also of Germans, wherens Mr, Hesiva will have the support of cvery thief, The Chicage Tribune, Thursday Mormng, October 21, 1875. e ———— pLenr, of the Interior De- partment, is said to Lave determined upon the removal of the member of the SinTi family who bas bad charge of the Burean of Indian Affairs.

In this contest, every houest, lnw-abiding man should commence work at once. AN HONFEST ELECTION, It in now protty certain that there is but one thing necessary to the success of the oounty ticket pat forwand by the Republican Convoution and leaded by Mr, Lowvs Hucx, —and that is an bhonest eloction. With the experlence of the charter election lnst spring frosh in mind, nud the knowledge that the ballot-boxes are in the control of the same persons who stuffed them on that occnsion, it in proper that tho honest voters should make an effort to protect themselves at the coming clection. Tho Committee appointed by the Republican Convention to labor with the County Board to secure the appointment of ono Republican judge at each election pro- cinet should not lese sn opportunity for pressing their case. They must not be put off with the allegation thnt one of the three judges nlready named is a Repub. lienn, If the County Board are in favor of au lonest election, they will not decline to appoint one man at each precinet who has the confidenco of the Re- publicans. The Republican judge will in each cage be in the minority, and powerless to commit avy froud upon his opponents, oven if hie wero so disposed, since they will be, two to one. But a faithful and honest Re- publican, not afrald to opposo and denounce avery suspicion of fraud, may protect the polls from the frauds of the Opposition. He will seo to it that a correct list of the voters is kept, that tho votes are properly num. bered, that the clerks qualify aceording to the law, and that the other safeguards pro- vided by the State low aro strictly preserved. If the County Board refuscs to appoint such a man, it will bo prima fucie evidence of the intention to stuff the ballot-boxes, But tho opportunity for protecting the honest voters does not end here. Whether or not the County Board nccedes to the de- wmand for the appointment of a Republican judge at ench precinet, the Republican Cam- paigu Committee should also select with great care two fearless citizens whom they can trust to act s challengers nt each voting pre- ‘The Inw provides as follows: ‘The fudyes of eloction shall allow at least one, and not. mora than two, Jegal voters of oach party to the con- test, to bo chosen by the parties fespostively, into the room where tho cloction Is Leld, to act as challongers of votera atsuch clection ; and auch challenigers may rematn with the Bosrd of Election untl) al) the votos aro canvarmed and the result declared, Two challengers, who are at onco familiar gambler, Dlackleg, saloon-oafer, and bum- { itk the people of the precinct they Topre- sent and bold enough to assert their rights, shonld bo chosen by the Republicans for cattle, and, from this point of view, the | avery precinct in the county.

TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, money, that we are cut off from an o mannfactures, We should be large exporters of iron, colton, and many lines of weolen goods, of leather in all ity forms, and of va- riona other articles, If we had a toriff framed on rationnl and honest principles, in- atond of a tariff to proteot certnin individu- als, wo would be exporting o hundred or two hundred millions of dollnrs’ worth of manu- faotures more than wo do now, The ngri- cultural industry would bo supplomented by the mannfacturing production, We sould ba paying for all we buy with the surplus of our own production. The man who does not produce annually something more than what he consumes, contributes nothing to the general welfare, but the man who does not produce enoungh to moot hin own con- sumption, and has to obtain assistance and nlws from the public, {sa drag on society, which holds him ns a meudiesnt. Onr system of tarifl is one of mendieancy., Onr manufac- turers donot produce a surplus,—that {s, they lhave nothing to sell beyond tho local Jemnnd, and even to do this they are pensioners upon the pablic who are taxed many hundred mill. ions a year to support them. Until wa in- crease our exports to an amount suflicient to pay for our imports, then we must meet the difference with gold; aud 8o long ns we have to export gold for this purpose we will havo to gall our paper for what we can get for it in the world's currency. BOUTHERN BARBARISM. The now Constitution which has been framed for Alabamna abolishes State righits, ns far as that State is concerned. 8o far, so good. But it nlso abolishes some of the nn. deniable rights of man, It limits texation in away, that is tantamount to repudinting the Stato debt, innsmuch ns the sum to e raised will barely suftice for the running expenses of tho Government, nud may leave hot n cent. for interest on the debt. But this is not the worst, The now instrument pract feally abol- ialies thie public-school system. In this, Ala- bama follows the example of Taxas. Both States propose to reduco the mass of the peo- ple to something like the literary level of the mule. In both, a herd of voting eattle is to be crented, and the herd is to be dominevred over by o privileged enste of educated men, This is a proposition to go back to tho bar- barisn that prevailod before the War. No coudemnnation can be too sovere for it. No uweorn can be too bitter for this pitiful disze- gard of the plainest principles of social well- being and political ecopomy. It i said, and soid ngnin, that the white men of Alabama cannot justly be taxed for the education of negroes. Who pays the school-taxes? Not the indolent white, who would loso caste by honest toll, but the Inboring black. He tills the soll. He plants the cotton and the corn. Ho plucks the bursting cotton-balls and gathers the cars of corn. He createa the wealth on which the white lives, and from which the State takes its taxes. And yet theso ex-Barons say thatthey cannot put their idle hands in their pockets and contribute to the education of the negro a pittauce of tho wealth which the negro’s labor has put into those pockets. Among the first signa of renewed Demo- cratic supremncy at the South lms been the closing of the public schools. It is 8o in Ar- knuses, in Alabama, in Toxas. When the carpot-baggers of South Carolina stolo tho school funds of that State, thore was acry of indignation throughout the country. Tho theft was one of the chief connts sgainat Republican administration of Southern af- fairs. But now that one after another Dem- ocratic State at the South proceeds to abolish the whola school system, to shatter fhe cor- ner-stono of free inatitutions, to doom the mass of the population to tho hopeless igno- rance that makes men slaves and keeps them 80,—now, that this happens, we find no flurry of excitoment in the Damocratio press. In fact, wo find no mention of theso faots, Bilence gives consent to their accomplishe ment. At tho North, tho Damocratic party conlesces with the Catholio Qlurch in the at. tack apon the public school. At tho Sonth, it simply renssorts its anclent principle,—the ignoranco of the many who are ruled, the partinl and one-sided enlightonment of the fow who rule. Tho reaction against public education is a reaction sgainst civilization, ogainst culture, against common sense. It is a atep towards barbarism, and it onght to hurl the party responsible for it into a politi- cal hell, where the worry of disappointed ambition dieth not, and the fire of unsatisfied craving for office is not quenchod. o————— BIGNS OF RUSSIAN BOOIALIOM, A recent trial of Booialist conspirators at Bt. Patorsburg showed some significant facts. The eight dofendants were all persons of some education. Four of thom were students, the sons of respeotablo parents. Two were trodesmen and two Sergeants in the ‘* Em. peror’s Guard,” It has been hitherto alleged and agrily denied that the Rugsian army con- tained a number of Bocialists. If Bergeonts are converts to the doctrine, the privates are pretty certainly infected with the same be- lief. The tactics adopted by these ngitators wore simple. They mado it o buiness to fro. quent factories, cheap eating-houses, and places of amusoment patronized by the poor- orclagses, They visitod the homes of work- ingmen and actually held private ineet- ings - in the Darracks of the army. To all theso places they ingratiated them. solves with their acquaintences and talked Socialism, Much of their talk consisted of lies, but thoir hearers wero too grosaly ig- norant to know this. They sald, for in. wtonce, that Frauce bad shown that adults needed no Governmont. The Commune had hung the wiocked Czar Navoirox, and hod abolished all tax-collectors, police, magis trates, and other relic of & barbarous time. ‘They proschied the necessity of troating the Czar Avesanozs in the same wsy. This would be easy, they said, for his wronged subjoots numbered 50,000,000, while his sol- diers were only 800,000, When he was out of the way, the land, which belonged to mavkind, would be divided equally among alladults, Other property would be disposed of in the same way., Then everybody would be hiappy and nobody would have to work too mucl, Tho eight missiouaries of this gos- pel of folly may or may not bo Lappy now. ‘Thoy hiave stopped living in this world by request, and have started, cia the seatfold, for sore othor! sphere of existence, But they tiave loft many imitators behind them.

A mnjority of ono on the bench of the Suprome Court ot the United States can settlo a case that involves insues of transcondent jmportance, but a majority of ten Insiden jury-box is hold incompetent to decido the most insignificant poiut. Manous MontoN was once elected Covernor of Massachusetts by ono vote. An iotn more than 50 per cent of the votes mado bim chief ruler of n great State, If some scoundrel had maliciously brought a charge of potty larceny ogainst him and had gota fellow-conspirator on the jury, the verdict of the honest eleven could not have freed him from tho stigma of crime. On tho bench, ingide our societies and corporations, and nt the polls, the majority rules. Why should it not do %0 in the jury-box ¥ The early history of the jury-system is somowhat obscure, but it is certain that the requirement of unnuimity is of comparatively modorn date, Swoden, which, with the rest of Scnndipavin, furnished the Northmen who beeamo Normang in Frauce nnd carried the Beandinavimm inatitntions of their fathers into conquered England, satill preserves s jury- system that counts its ago by centuries. One- half the jury, or any greater number, with the Judge, or thie whole jury, ngainst the opiufon of the Judge, give the verdict. When n mejority of jurymen is opposed by the minority and the Judgo, there {s no ver- dict. This is majority-rule, tompered by a sort of cumnlative vote on the part of the Judge. ‘The Northmen car- ried this system with them into France, but, when thoy became Normans and tho provinco they Lad reized Normandy, they changed about and required an unanimons verdiet. Thus a corrupt forn of the Scan. dinavian original was carried to England by } Wisriax the Conqueror. Before the Con- quest the verdict of two-thinls of the jury had prevailed in English Courts, The dis- sonting minority was fined. A trace of this old custom crops out in several cases after tho conquest. In these, the verdict of eleven jnrymen was accepted as conclusive, avd the twelfth was clapped into prison for his obstinancy. But in the reign of Epwarp 1L it was mettled that the twelve must agreo. The decision to this offect contained one re- markable clause, advising the Judges of Assize to take the jury around with them in a cart until the luckless wights managed to sgreo. Thus was engrafted upon our legal system this requirement of nnanimity, responsiblo for so much of the delay, the oncertainty, and the expenso with which legal administration is justly charged. Thero havo notbeen want- Ing assnilauts of the ides. JemEmy BENTZAM says : ** If the work of forming verdicts had boen the work of calm reflection, working by the light of experience in a comparatively matare and enlightoned age, some number certain of affording a mojority on one side, viz.; anodd number, would on this, as on other occasions, have been provided, and to tho decision of that preponderating number would, of conrse, have beon given the effect of the conjunct docision of the whole.” This is bad English, but good sense. combines gooduess in both when he refers, in his * History of the Middle Ages," to ““that preposterous relic of barbarism, the require. ment of unanimity in & jury.” Yearman says, in his * Study of Government”: * Weo could now well consider whether absolute unanimity may not safely be dispensed with.” Finally, we may quote in support of our po- sition tho roport of a Pmliamentary Com. mission which recommended, a fow years ago, that, after a jury had been out twelve hours, o verdict given by nine of its members should be accopted as final. Harrax THE WABHINGTON MONUMENT. The standard phrase about WasmineTon should bo changed. Ho wss first in war, first in pesce, first in the hearts of his countrymen, and last in gotting o monument. It is all very well that we are to have a mam- moth world’s show to celebrato our firat contury of national life, but one of the fittest recognitions of the Contennial would have beon the completion of the giant obelisk that Las gerved 08 a token of national disgrace, instend of a mark of national honor, during thie lnst twenty years, Tho shaft is now 174 feot in height. feot, with stone terrace approaches 200 feet in diameter. When finished—wo might bot- ter say, if over finished—it will bo the highest monument in the world. The cost of completing it is catimated to be $500,000, The Association which hns the matter in charga liopoe to take advantage of tho Centon- nial gpirit to raiso this sum. It has issued a atirring nddress to the public, part of which wo transeribo: Tho projected height is 485 ‘Wa bave luvited the representativas of forsign na. tions 10 assist st our Centennial celeLration ; thoy Bave acceptod the invitation, and from all races sud all climos they will como, 1f, jo 1476, thia shaft ro- mulng a4 1t now is, wa ahall admiration of our visitors Ly pointing to our veat matural resources snd tmere materlal progress, This absudoned monoment will spok 10 our shime of principles dishonored, obligationa repudisted, geati tude forgotten, and the purest uumo in history inault. ¢4 1o tae very capital of the country which he saved, sud witiin sight of the spot which kis sacred remains hiave made the holieat shrine of liberty) Are we wile ling to call together the people of the world to witnoss such » spectecls ca thia?

Quite'n large sum has olready beon sub- scribed. Minnesota has given £1,000; Cor- nectiont, $2,000; New Jersey, §8,000; and Now York, 910,000. The Governors cf all the Btates, who are ez-g officers of the Washington Nationdd Monument Bocloty, have been nppealdd to, so that their anuual messages will probobly contain some refor onco to the matter, An organized attack has also been made upon the different societies of tho United States. The first fruits of this were shown in tha petion of the Grand Ms. aonlo Lodge of Ilinols, which, at its mesting m this city a fow days ago, sppropriated sbversive theories of Socialism foed and fat- | 21,000 to tho monument fund, and vocom- mended all the other Lodyes to follow ila ex- ample, Other sorictieahnve heen nagenerons au the Mncons, Desides individupl subserip- tions, one more resotiree remains, ‘This is Congressional generasity. Opinions niny differ na to the propricty of oxercising this, ‘but a8 long as Congress buys historical paint- ings at minch moro per Rqunre yard of canvas thaa privato persous would give for them,and hires fumale loblying ptono-cuttors to executo —napproprinte word-—bnrbaroud eftigien of cel. cbratod mon, an appropriation of this sort does not goem Inappropriate. Moreover, the nation which hns done WasmNaToN tho grievous wrong of crocting the stone carienture of himself which now disfiguros tho city named after him ought to do sone. thing in atonement. In 1799, Congress ap- propriated 200,000 for a atntuo of the first Presidont. It is said that no part of this sum has evor been used. If so, it might perhaps be devoted to the completion of the unfiuished sloft. If this disposition of it were made dopendent upon the subscription of tho rest of the needed half million, the whole sua could probably bo raised within a yeor. The movement, in its present shapo, commenorates the proverbial ingratitude of republics, Centenninl matters aro looking up. TRus. sia has receded from.the position which was taken out of pique at tha form of the invita- tion that wns given, and will send n full representation of its charaoteristic products and manufactures. Romwin might also take n point from Germnny, aud send the oldest son of tho Emperor to head the Russian dole- gation. Thero only remains Italy, of the important European nations, that holda aloof. But it shonld also wheel in line now, and undertake to have ita indnstry and na- tionnl charncteristica fitly represented. It may likewise imitate the eminent examplo of contributing Royal blood, and sond over the ox-King of Spain, who hes the reputation of being an excellent young man, and who will be received all the more cordially because of hia prst misfortunes, RBut tho lion of the show will be Princo Frepeniox, tho heir-apparent to tho Prussian throne and the successor of the present Em- peror of Germany, “Fmra”is a familiar character to the American people, and his ad- mirableconduct during the Franco-German war has won for him the respect of the world on his own account s well a4 because of his fu- ture eminence. It canoot, in tho nature of things, bo very long before he must succced to his father's place, and his appearance in this country at the Centenninl is an ovidence of good.will that will be met with great cor- dinlity by the Amcrican poople, His pres- ence will wonderfully enhauce the interests of our German citizens in the Contennial ; ond wo presume he will not leave this conntry without visiting at lenst such parts of it a4 are contres for our Germnn residonts. 1In that case, ho will visit Chicago; nnd, if he does, we predict the grandest snd most cordinl recoption over given to any person in this country, Philadelphis, during Centen- nial timo, will have so many notable things that the visit of the German Prince will be but one of them., Butif ho comes to Chi. cago, Ameriean-born and German.born will unite in giving him a welcome that he will remember all his life long with pleasure snd good will, The only effort the Ropublicans made in this county last fall was on Congressmen, The votes cast for the three Republican can. didates, as compared with that cast for their Domocratio competitors, was aa follows: furrm, Rep.. ++ 8511CADLYIELD, Dem.... Wanp, Rep,. 9,181, TTAnR130%, Dom, FARWELL, Hoj 0,700/ LxlMoxwz, Dem TotalievesearereresTi8l] Tolalsersssnesrsn 34050 Domocratio majority, only 495, 1t was only on this part of the ticket that the Republicans put forth any effort. For tho State ticket they did nothing, but let it take care of itself. For Buperintondent of Public Instruction, the vote of the county wis; ET1eR, Dent, and Opp, PowELE, le; 448,500 o d1418 Dem. and Opp. majority. wrees 1,083 All the Republican ticket-peddlers who peddled split-tickets offered the voters bal- lots which had on the Opposition candidates for Btate Treasurer and Buperintondent of Public Instruction. By this mesns several thousond votes were lost for the Ropublican Stato candidates. But, even taking the vote for the Superin. tendent of Publio Instructlon as tho basis of caloulations, the Republicans start in with reliablo strength which is vory formidable, Tlso 15,000 mofority which AMr. Heane and his blowers boast they will get, is seen to be nonsensical in the extreme. Tho fact is, that Hucx onn bo elected if the Republicans only do their daty, The Chicago Zimes, while pretending to oppose the election of *‘ Boss” Hiarvo, as it calls him, gave him secret ald and comfort yosterday by a vague intimntion that Mr. Huox's candidature againat him had been suggested in his interest and the interest of certain Republicans, who, s it professes to bellove, are associated with Mr. Heswoe in Lig political schemes, So far as Mr. Hucx is concorned,.thig.ig & most unwarrautable in- sinuation, and,” it not made through igno- ranoe, it was- saggested by s desire to help Hzame. My Huck is one of a good many Gormans who have for' a long time fretted undor the yoke which Blr, Hxzamvo has put upon them, He has alwaye been a Repub- lican, and never a Demoorat, as the Staats-Zeitung maliciously asserts, Perhaps the reason why Mr, Hesnia charges thisis be- cause Mr. Huox was one of those Gorman Republicans who supported the Oitizens' ticket in 1869, when the power of MMr. Hesivo and his cligne was broken by their aid. The regular Republican ticket was defeated at that time because it was car- rylug with it the Hzsmia rlng. Mr, Hucx and his German friends will do more this year to break up the mew cliqve he Las formed than they did in 1809, There is no queation but AMy. Huox will have tho hearty ana enthusinatic support of the better class of Germaua everywhere in the county, not only on sccount of the personal confidence which he ia able to command, bat in order to oust Heamia from his self-assumed place as the Dictator of the German vote. If the Amoricsn-born voters do their duty in the coming cloction, the Germans will ses that Mr, Huok is elected. Sevee——— The mails explain, what the telograph failed to do, in regard to the war in Liberis, tho canses which have lod to the outbreak of the natives at Cspe Palmas, in the southern part of Liberls, against the Republican Gov- emument of that country. The present dif- flculty, like many previous ones, grows out of disputod bouudsrics, and .the right of the Cape Palmas. patives to trade without re. atraint with the Baglish, French, and Portu. §uewe, who have tackales om the 0oast.

To this it appenrs that the Porte has mode a reply, iu the shape of promiscs to do better in the future. These promnises are thus outlined by the Londog Times : Tue Government will reduco tho tithies by 3y per cent, leaving thom st the rate of 10 per cent, Tals 00n waa promised o Crele when the inaurrection g tlat (aland was put down, but 1t was Dot granted unty) tho other day, or until our own Ambassador hnd polated out the bad effect rroduced on the opiaion of Europe by so glaring & violatlon of & public engsge snent, Tho same remission of taxation will naw be extended to the wholo of the Empire.

OCmantzs Frixcm Avaus, Ju., hes requested a Boston paper to mention that the use of his name as Vice Presidont at a Democratic meeting in Fanenil Hall was wholly nnauthorized, and adds that sho cannot see the propricty of using hi name without permission, As ho also cone curs in tho statements of Gen. Bantrzrr's recent lotter of declination as the Democratio candidate for Licutenant-Governor, it i3 evi- dent that the Democrats have made a second mistake in using his name for that office. It ia not safe to do anything with the Apaws family without permission. The Groeleyites hod some experienca of the truth of thif with Apaws, 8r. ; and Apaws, Jn., seems to Le a chip of the old block. Thero i one palpablo difference botween the Devil-Fish and Republican tickets. The Devil-Fish ticket has not an American upon it, It is o foreign Know-Nothing ticket, and the majority of tho men on it are already in corrupt rings. The Ropublican ticket i ovenly divided among all pationalities, snd s, therefore, cosmopolitan, It rocognizes the fact that Americans ought not to be pro- seribed on account of th idont of birth, Thio Britlsh Roysl Commission on Copyriglit, which hins just been appointed, will bogln its eittings with the pew yesr.
