Gicenbacks at the New York Gold Es- change yesterdoy fell from 86} to 85, closing at the Iatter price, Prominent Penusylvanin Liberals express the belief that Gov. Hautnanet, the Ne- publican candidate, will Lo elected, and Re- publicans throughout the State are fully con- fident of sueces Baltimore Democratsndmit that the Reform candidate for Mayor was defeated by clection frands, and they also admit that thero is no Tonger any probability of defeating the Re- form State ticket next Tuesd; Mr. BurLiNa’s nomination as Construction Superintendent of tho Chiengo Custom- Touse has been npproved by Secretary Brus- Tow. The new Superintendent will enter wpou his duties immedintely, and it is to be hoped that work oh the building will go for. ward to completion without further interrup- tion, Every Republican in this eity should see to it not only that he worksand votes himsclf, Dut also that his neighbor works and votes. This should Lo an individual campaign in which every person should tuke nn individual interesl. In thig way the gang of hummern and scoundrels who are workiug for Hesiva end the Devil-Fish ticket can be defeated. Onca more wo would urge npon the honest and respeetablo peoplo of Cicero, Leyden, Luke, Riverside, Lyons, and Proviso, to spot tho ringster Jonx Crawrorp, who is running for Connty Commissioner in that distriet on tho Dovil-Fish ticket, Heo is not only a reue- _gudo, but a member of the corrupt County Ring. Hohas been up to his eyes in all tho jobs, ewindles, nud steals that have made that Ring infamous. o is not a fit repro- sentatiye for straightforward, Lonest coun- try people. Vote him down. The Devil-Fish party have established o preciuct at tho Poor-llonne, ko ns to voto all tho paupers and idiots. The Poor-Touso is one of tho mosl conveniont localities for the stends of the County Board, and now the Op. position propose to voto these paupers, for whoso support they have beon swindling the people of this connty. More than this, they will vote the County Jail, the Bridewell, and tlo Insano Asybun, They uro planning to cart il the sewn ond dregs of the population to the polls, and vote them from precinet to precinet. What do the hard-working labor. crs of Chieaga think of this¥ — Last evening's demonstration by the Devil. Fisl crowd at the Farwell Hall meeting was the resull of a deliberatcly-ntured sehieme, It was hoped to either break up the meeting ar else to pervert its original purpose, and to s end the thieves, gamblers, snd buners were ordered to bo on hand in large nunhers, That they wero defeated at every paint shows tl:at tho respectuble people of Chicago luck neither the conrage uor the inclination to de. fend their rights, A thorongh understanding respectable adherents; while the settled con. viction that Mr. ITestxa's chances are hope- less will eanse a genernl turn.over by that voting element whielt alwayy liles to go with the majority. The Drianan. nizg divorce ens has nt Iast reached a focus, so to speak, amd tho champion Latter-Day Saint is hrought to a realizing son<e of his utter inability to con- tond single-handed against the law of the heretieal Gentiles. Judge BoneMaw, of the Utah District Court, hos decided that tho Tead of Mormondom has tampered with Justico ns far the dignity of the ermine will permit, and has therefore ordered that Mr. Youso shall remain n prisoner in the hands of the United States Morshal until such time a4 it shall be shown to the stisfaction of fhe Court that tha said Youxe has dishurscd for the benefit of the aforesaid Avy Erwa the sum of 00 in tho rags of the realm, or its equivalent, The merchants und business-men of Chi- engo have nssemnbled in massmnceling, and have given expression to their views and feelings relntive to the fortheoming county election, The ostraordinary size of the gnthering at Farwell Hall, the high character in great part of the citizens who were present and participnted. the aims of the meeting, and the incidents of ils proceedings,—all these immensurably add to the weight and effeet of the movement in behalf of an honest elcetion and an honest loeal Government. Last night’s meeting wasa grand sitecess—the more so in_ consequence of the dignified but firmt resistanco that wes so cffectively op- posed to the disorderly manifestations of the ncallawag clement. The Republicans are doing well in organ. izing Ballot-Dox Guards, but there is danger that they may concentrato their most pow- erful efforts whero they are least necded. They must look ont for tho First Wand, whero the gamblers, and thioves, and bunko-men swarm, all of whom are working desperately for the Hrsive ticket. They must look out for the Sixth, Soveuth, Eighth, Ninth, and Lleventh Wards, with their bummersand rum- holo loafers and repeaters, They must look ont for the dives and dens of North Water aud Kinzio streets, and South Clark and Wells streets, Theso aro tho places where the great fraudswill be perpetrated, and these aro tho places where tho guardians of the purity of tho bullut-hox should be on the nlert, et Mr., HesiNg has snceeeded. But this sue- cess is not of a character o please Mr. Hes- 1xe, He hag, by bhis action at the Farwell 11l meeting last evening, managed to dig a pit for himeelf and his fellow shoulder-hit- ters and mfiang that will hide him and his clnims to preferment so effectually that the voters of Cook County will never heafter he under tho necessity of seratching his name from o ticket whero it may by acccidont be placed. 'The die was already cast, the people were nlready beginning to nuderstsnd the character of tho men composing the Devil- Fish parly, and it needed but this infamons conduct on the part of Mr. HusrNa and his crew to seal the verdict of condemnation, ‘What bas been Mlr. Hesivo's evil hour will prove to the city aud county a blessed political millennium, A DEVIL-FISH DEFEAT, The meeting of Chicago merchants and business-men at Farwell Hall last night cost Mr. A, O. HesiNe 2,000 votes directly, and probably two or three times ns many indi- rectly, Every respectable voter who was present’ and saw Mr. Izsie oceupying a front seat in company with gamblers, thieves, hunko men, and rowdies of all descriptions, Dbinck, gray, and white, felt that the public moncy would not be safe in tho keeping of meh aman. Therois no better menans of judging a candidate for oflice thau by the compavy Lo keeps. Mr. Hrsmve consols svith tho worst cla ses inthe commanity; Mr. Hesrva conld not have sccured the support of these clnsses excopt by making pledges thnt no honest man can keep; therefore Mr., Hesiva must be regarded, from this time forward, as a defoender of dishonesty aud a consort of villaing, There is no use in mincing matters. Wa cannot pretend to entertain nny respect for n man who mrkes his bed with Mixe Conconay nod Mixe McDoxarp, and the low rufiang controlled by them. We cannot Dbeliove that a mau who introduces such mn- terial into a mecling of respectablo merchants and business men for the purpose of brogk. ing it up has any commendable desigus upon the public money. It is time that Mr. Hes- 1wa should throw off all disguise. Let him proclnim himself the friend of the down- trodden gambler, the lifter-up of the oppress- ed bunko-steerer, the (famaries of politienl thieves and scoundrels, Fortunately the meeting had advanced far enough before it was interrupted Ly Mr, Hes- 1xa’s rowdies Lo accomplish its purpose. It had considered and passed resotutions declar- ing that Mr, Hesive had forfeited tho confl- denco of honest people, and pronouncing un- wortly of support any mnan who secks to ob- tain control of public monoy in order to re- liove his private embarvassments. Tho senti- ment of the meeting on these resolutions was uncqnivoenl, They were recelved with a burrsh, and pussed beforo tho natonished Iriends of 1 ka1 could raise o voicoin pro- test, But as soon as some speeches were of- fered iu ratification of the resolutions Mr. of this fact by Mr. Hestxa’s ruflionly gaug will prevent wupleasant consoquences at the yolls next Tuesday., Mr. C. C. P Howve, bankrupt, and meu- Der of thy Devil-Fish Ring in tho Doard of County Counnissioners, made himself odi- ouely conspicuous last evening by attempting to obtrade himsell upon the mass-meeting of merchauts and Mbusiness.men, Ho was eutirely out of place in such a gothering, uiuco ho iy neither o merchont nor a business- man, but merely o taxenter. Obscurity and not notoriety is what Mr. Howoex should court. Prowinenco like that of last night is linble to revive certnin unplensant rowinis- cences of earringe-rides and hugo livery-bills at the cxpense of the Reliel Fund in the fall of 1871, ———— 1t only noaded the rlug-ugly plot of last evening, aud its complety failure, to sotfle tho result of next Tuesdny’s election in ook County beyond a peradventurs, Mr, Hesisa's politicul enreer haa been full of gross Liun. ders, but this last ebullition of rowdyisiu was the most damaging of wll. Beveral well. Xpown ¢itizens, who entered Farwell Hall with the iutention of voting for Mr, Hestng, were heard to distinetly declaro that thuy would no longer support, even for 0id {rieud. sbip’s sake, any man with such a following. Hesiso himself roso from o front seat, under tho gallery, on the right hund, and offercd wome remurks in vindication of hiwmsolf. Vo was strongly intrenchied by a picked band of ward politicihus and gamb- lers, whom {o name in this place would be to diguify. Hoand his nssocintes sought to l.irmk up the meceting by a resort to the prac- tices which wro common in small political meetings. They ealled * Tlhireo cheers for A. O. Hemxo”; they reccived three groans; and yo the confusion wad continued, In any other ¢ity it would have been a matter for the police, ‘The Chairan would have ealled upon tho oMeers to eject tho disturbers of the peace, and they would have been put out of tho ball—or the assurance that the police would gct i an emergoncy would have pro- vented adisturbance. But not o in Chicago. "fhe polico did not move, 'Thgy had been drillel. Two dozen of them stood on the stairways and admired the row, They anid privately, and between themselves, that it was » beautiful quarrel; Lut they did not move. 'They had been instructed, it i said, to seo thut Mr, Hesina and his friouds were not hurt aud to permit no blows. In other words, they have been bought up to protect ruscality a3 agatust respectability, In the end, respectability trivmphed. The rough ele- wmeut was quieted pud complote order was reatored. Mr. Joun V, Fanwert was intro- "Thut fecling will prove to bw contagious, aud | duced; and he mado a dircet, unnfucted fhe next threo dsys will see tho Dovil-Figh | appeal to tho people preeent, which produced ticket forsaken by the larger part of il fows} profound impression, It was the common opinion, when the meeting closed, with three hearly hurrahs for honesty, decency, and order, that Mr. Tesiva had committed po- litieal suicide and dug his own poiitieal grave It ought uot tP be possible that a politi- enl campaign eonducted on such prineiples whould have & doubtful dssue. It is true, Mr, Hestvo and his friends have all tho minchinery of law on theic side, but they hinve not the law itself, nor have they the power which lics behind tho law, Fhey ean suborn judges of election, they can brilo the police by promiscs of money or place, they eon hire the gamblers and the bunlo- thieves to nssist in o raid on the County Trepsury. byt they cannot conx or intimi- ! date the honest men of Cook county, They | cannof gain votes by intruding upon n weet. ing of respectablo citizens, and showing their colors without dieguise, Ahey will dis. cover toe Iale that {ley made n fatal mistake when they attempted to substitute force for fraud. As the people wonlkd not be deeeived into electing Mr, fls. o County 'Irensurer, neither will they be toreed iutoit. Wa doubt not that ealmer reflection this morning will tench tho leaders of the Opposition party that they havo made o geries of fatal mistakes, and that the only refuge now left them is the one upon which nll along they have most depended,—fraud,— and to attempt that, they meey just aseell une derstand, naic as atany other time, witl be worlk their liees! FRAUDULENT POLL-LI3TS. The Republicnn party has been fully ad- vised of n deliberato plan whereby thero are to Lie severnl thousands of votes counted for the Hesixo ticket moro then sro legally polted, 'The plan is, that in certain precinets, chietly inhnbited by supporters of the Ring ticket, the clerks are to keep their poll-lists, putting down the names of voters with their numbers, At convenient intervals, these clerks are to skip n pago in tho book, leaving it blank, to be filled up at leisure with fie- titious names, for which ballols nre deposited in bulk, In this way the poll-books at ench precinet will exhibit from one hundred to fivo hundred more names than there are actunl voters, and for each of thesn a IlesiNa ticket iy to o put in the box. It is possible that in some cnses tho poll-lists will be write ten up in advance ; that i to sny, from one hundred to four hundred fictitions names niny be entered on the polllist beforo the polls are opened, on alternate pages; and for theso Mesiva ballots will be put in the hox. "The success of this schemo depends on hiav- ing all the judges nnd clerks at the selected precints chosen from one party, and that they shall be bribed. This schemo explains, perhaps, the repeated and peremptory refusal of the majority of the Connty Board to per- it even one Republican clesk or judgo at any ono of nearly 200 of the election pre- cinets in the connty. This frand may ho preveuted, and if at- tempted can be detected, by tha selection of ourngeous and intolligent men, who iill per- sonally take the numboe of every person voting at ench precinct, and who will ps bravely demand and insist upon seeing the poll-list from timo to time, and informing themselves personally that the clerks are re- eponsible thorefor. ‘Tlie offense proposed to Lo committed is punishablo as a felouy by imprisonment in the Penitontiary, and the detection, indictment, and couviction of every man participating in or consenting to such fraud wonld meet with the henrty approval of the entirs community, The Re- publican party, sdvised of the wards and pre- cinets where this wholesale fraud is intended, will of course take tho proper steps to pre- vent its stiecess, nnd to delect, nrrest, nud punish the criminals. It s n sad commontary on our free institutions that such precau- tions shonld be uccessary to prevent the very officers of elections from corrupting tho bal Tot-box. HONEST ELECTIONS. Tho Amerivan poople are cxceptional among all thoso who liave preceded them ns nmong those who have existed contemporaneously in tho matter of an universal ncceptance of tho results of an clection, and in submission to the will of the majority as expressed at the ballot-box, In other lands and among othor people, an election is only the preludeton ravolt or o revolution by those who may bo declared to be in the minority, In this coun- try tho ballot-box is regarded as tho court of tiunl redort, by whoso decision all men must abide, aud which decision, being thut of the ‘majority, is recognized ns the law itsolf. To corrupt the ballot-box is therefore to corrupt tho fountain of the law, and to corrupt the means of its ndministration. It is the cor- ruption of tho wheole politicial system, and ity effocts extend to tho perversion of all lnw, the subversion of all government, and the destruetion of all political frecdom. 1t is more infamons than rebellion, beeanso more fatal in its results. The man who takes up arms against the law places his life on the issue, and his forco may bo opposed by forco, and overcoma by foree; hut the nan who stuffs the ballot-box or forges the election returns commits a crime against Inw and soclety, attempts a usurpation of tho Government, secks to defeat tho will of the majority, and to do theso thing of necessity resorts to perjury and forgery. The crime of Lallot-box atufling and forgery of returns, if sucecesaful, is felt in all jts consequences; thore is no legal remedy or redress, The erinso pecomplishes its end, and there is nothing left but submission, The man who folsely voles; who puts votes in the box not legally polled; who falsely counts and returus the legal votes polled at an eloction, is & public enemy 1o less dangerous to the public safety, beeauso loat to overy priuciple of patriotism and hon- esty, and ¥ipe for the meancst acts in the erim- innlealendar, Nor is the man who advises, or is o consenting party to, or who procures such acty, in the least better than the wreteh who for hiro prostitutes the most sacred tribunal known to our political system, The County Commissioners have rojected ayery appeal mado to thom fora fair elec- tion ; they have rejected every appen! wado to hnvo one judge and one clerk of the elec- tion at eoh poll selected from the Republi. cun party,—thus rendering fraud and balot. box stuffing and forged returns posaiblo with- out detuction, and raising the overwhehining presumption that tho means of fraud have been secured to accomplish the end. PForewarued iu to Lo forearmed. There aro 20,000 persons in Chicago who are habitusl non-vaters, If these men will go to the polls on Tuesday nost, they can give such an emplatiocondemuationof dishonest elections that no man will dare again insult public in- telligence or outragu publie decency by un? nounving in ndvance the majority by which the election judges will return him elected. 11 these lbitual non-voters will go ta the polls on Tuesday, thore will be such a woral influenco controlling each poll that no Elec- tion Bonard will daro perpetrato tho crimes which hnve been committed on the ballot- Doses, amd which ft is now proposed to vepeat, If the majority of the people of this connty shall seleat A, €, Hrsryo, Miks Mestov., and Pat Creany, let the popular verdict bo fairly expressed, and there will be general subnnis- sion, Tt the peoplo have right to demand that this election shall be fair, that the votes shall bo legally nnd nctunlly polled, that the votes shiall bo honestly counted, and the re- mult correctly returned, This mueh the Inw provides ; this much is requisite to an honest eleetion 3 and this much (he people of this city intend on 'Faosday mnext to demand and seeure in peraon at the poll ————— THE PAUFER VOTE. Tho most rascally of all tho rascally tehientes convocted in the intorost of the Bunnaer and * Ring" ticket is tho purpuse of voting the paupers apd idiots under the lead- erslip of KiynenLy, the Waden of the Poor- House. ‘I'he Poor-House and Insaue Asylum of Cook County are located in a smiall town- ship ealled Norwood, which wns reeently created by a strip from Jetferson and another from Leyden, It has never yet polled o suf- fietent voto to entitlo it to more than one voting preeinct, and still it 19 said tiat Lwo precinets have been established, and will be put under the charge of Iesixo's election judges. One of these precinets is established for the special accommodation of the pauper and idioti¢ vofe. It is outrageons that the tax-payers should Lo reguired to pay double for the support of these paupers and fecble-minded ‘erentures, and then iave them voted like eattle to con- tinue this sort of thing. This man Kisureny would have been removed from his place foug ago if tho Board of County Commis- sioners had not been nnder the control of n corrupt and desperate Ring., 1o is Rotten. Bean Pertouat’s man, and the County Board is Dentorat’s Board, They both represent the *““BDean” Club., The Rotten-* Dean” Club is & costly institution, supported by the tax-payers at a cost of S303,420 last year, which is considovably more than dowble what it cost two years heforo to support the public charities, und before Prnriovar, Kivnenny, and the County Board ‘“‘ Ring” ran them in their private interest. Now the paupers, and idiots, aud insane persons are to bo voted to retnin this ting of sconndrels. I'he decent peopla who live in Norwood ‘Township—there is a suburban villagoe there composed of respeciable citizens—must try and protect themsclves against this outrage, and tho Republiean Campnign Committee shonld givo them sneh assistance (o this end as may be possible or neeessary. Not one in fifty of wll tha paupers and inmates of the County Insana Asylum is entitied to vote. They are nearly all persous who have floated into this counly from Europe and Eastern citics too recently to bo voting citizens under the Inw. Jf a siriey system of challeng- ing can * be wmininined, the design of using {licse poor wretches for corrupt pelitieal purposes may be defented. The entire township has not an honest voto of moro than 125, sud those who are entitled to vote are well-known to their neighbors. All others shounld be challenged, and if their votes are sworn in they may be subsequently mado to suffer the penalty, and tho connty mny therepy be rcleased from the charge of somo fellows whoso proper place 1s the Peni- tentiary instead of the Poor-louse, and who are more scoundrelly than unfortunate, This asylam for pauperism is o costly rore on the body politic of Cook County at best, and it must not be permitted to infect the ballot- Dboxes, A CHEERING SIGN, At nmeeting held at New Bedford, Mass., Iast week, Mr. Rick, the Republiean candi- date for Governor, discussed the question of # Hard Times," and, referring to tho depres- sion under which various Tines of manufac- ture wero laboring, he stated that thero wns an improved time at land; that improve- ments in machinery, cconoiny in mapnage- ment, with increasing skill in our labor, were producing a degreo of perfection of mann. factured articles and in selling prices which would enable us to export onr products, thus offsetting and lessening our imports, nnd find- ing o profitable market for the present over- production and fulure incrense, ndiding that he believed the event he predicted was close at hand, Mr. GrivNeun, President of the ‘Wamsntta Mills, interrapted Mr, Rice: to soy that his mill had within o few days made its first shipmeut of maunniactured goods to a forcign market., A mannger of another mill ndded a confirination of the like progress in ‘his business; while n third person, represent- ing iron interests, told a liko story as to tho export of products in that line, ‘Thin is certninly most cheering fact in the history of onr manufactures, Tf argues that the futal policy of mauufacturing for an ex- clusivo home market is to be abandoned, and that Amorican cotton gooils are once moroe to bocome nn ‘object of export, and that our manufacturers intend to hecome contributors to the annual surplus of national produce tion. It is a remarkable commontary upon the past policy of our maunfuctures that the Wamsutta Mills, said to contain mero spindles than any othier mill in the country, and which has been in operation for many years, mado its fivst export of its goods to a foreign market in October, 18741 Thera is no reason why tho cotton mills of the United States, {nstead of producing less cloth per capite of the population in 1875 ihan they did in 1800, shonld wnot increnso their production 80 largely that hoth home consumption and the export to foreign States sholl annu. ally inerease. In fact, wo should be the great cotton manufacturer of the world. In liko manner, if we could break up the pauper’ system of protection, weo could have an im. monso export of irou aud of mauy lines of iron manufacture. Then tho employment of manufacturing Iabor would be continuous, the foreign markets taking our surplus pro- duction. When our manufacturers shall pro- duco & surplus for export, thercby supple- wenting our agricultural exports, then the national credit will find a natural support, and the question of financo receive o permn. nent settlement. Over fu Canada they have alow tariff and sound cwrrency, and thoy have undisturbud finunces and s constuutly increasing cowmerce und growing vational wealth, and the following letter writton from Quebeo to the Now York World shows bow business is done in that country, and hLow it might be dono hers under liko circum- stances.

' BAVARIAN ULTRAMONTANISHM, Tho contest between Ultramontanism and the German Government seems fo have boen nlmost complelely transferred from Prussin to Unvarin, and is now raging in tho Bava- rian Tarliament with great virulence. A Committeo of the Chamber of Deputies has drafted an address to the Crown, charging that the Ministry conducted the recent clec- tion unfairly, that they divided the election districts 8o a8 to weaken the Uliramontanes, that they prevented tho King from knowing the renl sentiments of his people, and that tho rights of tho Davarian Crown are being swallowed up by Prussin, Tho wholo ad- dress sums itselt np in opposition to the Farcx lawy, to Drssanck, and to Prussia, and it calls upon the King of Davaria to dismiss the prosent Ministry ns unsafo coun- selors, Thore 1is no probability, liow- ever, that tho Ministry will re- sign, since it is supported by the King, and, oven if the Chamber of Deputios should adopt the address, it coild only bo done by two or threo majority (their presont mnjority being only two), which the Ministry would uot consider decisive enough to imply a voto of consure. In view, therefore, of the forthcoming contest, it becomes of interest to know the character and strength of the rospective conteatants, namely, tho Ultra- montaned and tho Nationnl party. Bavaria is really the keystons of German Ontholiclem, Of its population, 3,500,000 aro Roman Oatholics, and about 1,300,000 are Protestants, ‘Tho masses of the common peoplo are Ultramontanes, the Old Catholie movement bhaving made little impression upon them. Of these peoplo, the London T'imes says: Ier peorle aro a softer and moro superstitious race than thie North Gerwsus, Baintly legond aprugs up ‘more frecly among them, and it haa a more tenaclous Xife, Criticlsm has not made tho samo havos smong thelr belicfa os It has among the croeds of loss dovout or less crodulous reglons, and most of tho peoplo sre still forvent Catholics, Although the croed of tho Q4 Catholfca™ wpraug up fn Bavaria it has taken lit- {10 hold of the common people, They have been true Lo thel prieats, 1n 10 part of Germang, therefore, are the PaLck laws donounced with more vehemence. ‘The pulpit and the confesslonal have been frocly used toshow tue deadlysin of making tho trsiuing and tha sacred offices of the pricsthood subject to the ordinsry civil law. The clergy ha o called to tuetr aid the patriotio sentiments of ¢ a8 tho Bavarians wishied for & united Fatberlai bad at firet 00 dsstre to buy ftat the price of subserrl- enceto Prussts, It was 10 Austria ihat they turned for & leader, and under her Lhat they fougdt. Bince tlsat time (hey have placed their srmiss under the command of Prusalen akitl, sad thelr country has been formally united to the Empire, but a large mass of the poaple still bitterty dlalike the overmastering inducace of Berlia, Notwithutanding tho strong hald which Ultramontanism has upon the commnon peo- ploand the immonse following which tho | Parlinmantary Daputies Joul in their contest with the Ministry, the lalier boly is not withont a strong support, Tha King hime self, who ia negative on almost everything elae, sympathi decidedly with bis Min- iatry, 'The majority of the wealthy and in- telligent Bavarinns support the Nationnl Gov- ernment. " Tho neadeticsl elnsnes, studonts of tho schools and colleges, who are very freo thinkors, hinve a nntural haived for the elergy, who wonld restrict their frea inguivy within narrow bonuds, The wholn military society is also on the side of tho Gavernment mnd Prussia, The Ultramontanes are supea rior in numbers, but the National party is much the strongest in inflnence and intetti- genco and in arranging the tacties of cam- paigus, ‘Tho Intter advantage has heen shown repeatedly in the elections since 1869, in all of which tho Liberals havo prevented the Ultramontaues from gaining a single decisive victory, In the present strugglo thero is another olement which will play s very im- portant part, 'Phe Ultramontanes in their adiress say that ¢ (he rights of the couniry aro to bo swallowed up picecmenl by an in- terest which is far from being altogether Gertan." ‘Lhis of courso means Prussia, s0 that the war is declared not nlone against the Liberal party in Bavaria and the Ministry, but against Bissanck himself and Prussin, It is hardly possible that Bumaranck will over. look this threat if the address is adopted. It is possible that the great battle which hns Leen fought in Prussin between Tilieralisin and Ultramontunism s on the verge of dis- trocting Bavavin, Tt will be fought there with more flerceness than in Prussia, 'The following are some of {he reasons why the Itepubliean ticket should bo elected : 1, Beeanse it isin the interests of decency, of respectability, of honesty, and of politienl purity. 2, Beenuse the Devil-Fish ticket is sup- ported by all the thicves, gamblers, hunko rasenls, Lummers,'and ruma-hiole vagabonds in tho city, 3. Beeanse tho success of the Republican ticket will smash the infamous tos-eating County Ring this fall and with it the City Ring next spring, % 4. Deeauso the bribe-taking and blackwail- ing County Commissioners have refuscd to allow Republiean judges or clerks et tho polls, which is tantamount to s public deeln- ration that they intond stufiing the ballot- boxes. 4, Becauso the snceess of tho Devil-Tish ticket menns moro swindles in Poor-House supplies, more cheating and corruption in contracts, and a further incrense of taxation, 6, Becnusoe Americans are completely os- tracized by tho Opposition from holding of- fico. 7. Beeanse the suceess of the Nepublican ticket will insure proteetion to person and property. ‘The Chieago produce markets were steadior yosterday, Mess pork was quict and 7i@1be per brl lower, closing at £20.50 cash, and §18.65 peller the year.

We have henrd from various sources that a good many Germans who still think they will vote for Hesrsa have nevertheless determined to cut every Irishman who is on the Hrsive ticket, This is done partly from tho natuval antagoninm which the Germans havoe always felt for the Irish in politics, and partly on ac- count of the greed the Irish have shown in the division of the spoils. While we ara thankful to the Husive Germans for their in- tention to help us defeat the disreputable nominations Mr. HrsiNa hny wmnde for the County Bonvd, it 1ony be that tho Ivish, if they find out this intention, will do some ent- ting themselves, and that they will beginwith Me. Hesiva, Wo ave persunded that hoth Irish aud Germeans eanuot do better than fol- low ont this programmo. If the Irish eut the Germans on the Hesine ticket, and the Garmans cut the Irish, thero will ba nothing left of the Foreign Know-Nothing ticket,— for thero jsn’t an Ameriean running for ofiice on the Devil-Fish ticket. The fact that thoe gitizens nnd the tax-pay- ers ard waking up to & proper renlization of the threatencd invasion of tha ballot-boxes is attested by tho ndjourninent of the Board of Trade over next Tuesdny—the day of elec- tion. This will givo the Board of Trade men not only the opportuuily to vote, but also an opportunity of exerting their influence in fa- vor of an honest clection. And when thoy go to the polla thoy will probably not forget that, & couple of years ago, Mr. Hestna's nowspaper denounced them indiscriminately a8 gamblers, blacklegs, thieves, and scoun- drels,—nbont tho sume terms ns he hns ap- plied to the'County Commissioners whom he now acoks to re-clect, County Treasurer Alisien, who wauts Mr, Husixa, bis friend, to count tho monoy, eald & day or two ago thut ho would campol the Times to retract ts statoment that he (Mrinren) had lost $1,000 at ono sitting at draw-poker, Wo lava falad to discover the rotraction, Ilay Mr, Miries thought better of his threat?
