In the decision of the Supreme Court ro- versing the judgment of the County Courtof Cook County in refusing to enter judgment for the snle of lnnds for delinquent South Park ussessments, the Court considers the guestion whother Cook County is undertown- ship orgonization, and decides that this coun. ty must b so considered.

Anecffort was made by tho defenso, and ably urged in the arguments of counsel, to necuro n dismissal of the action upon tho ground of the incompetency of the testimony of necomplices when unsupported and uncor. roborated by the testimony of witnesses not implicated in the offenso charged. This move was stubbornly and powerfully resisted Ly the prosecution, Col, Dnoapneap taking the ground that the Court can only instruct the jury to acquit for tho reason that the testimony, if true, does not sustain the issue. 1Io held that the renl point at issuo was an atternpt to-provent the introduction of fur. ther lmportant evidenco to completo the proof of the conspiracy. Tho docision of Judgo Dirron will b rondered to-dny. The present Bonrd of County Commission- ers are Gingularly averso to self-investigntion. They prefor the rafe nnd less public method of inquiry which obtains in n Grond Jury room, from which reportors are rigidly ex- cluded.—more especially whon the drawing of Grand Jurors enn ba so ensily manipulated by the Bonrd. There is matter for investign. tion now at hand, but the Board will have none of it. Yesterdsy Commissioner Busse brought into notice o plain caso of soliciting 8 bribe,—plain cnough, if the faots are a8 stated, to rend the corrupt Com- missioner to the Penitentiary. It is alloged by DMr. Busse that he has information that n county contractor was asked by s member of the Board to pay $340 in order to have a bill of $1,300 andited and paid. Commissioners McCarrrey and Hot- vrN with great unanimity protested agninat bringing the malter before the open Board, forces, givos somo stariling facts in connec. tion with the freebooters' raids, and shows how incompotent the fow regular troops now utationed in Texas uro to deal with tho mur- derous incursions of Mexican and Indisn thioves and entthroats, A plan for the solution of the choap trans. portation question has been ombodied in a Lill introduced in Congross yesterIay by Gen.

It has boon ns- certained that the bribery proposition eamo from 8 professional lobbyist of established proficiency in such matters, but, as it is not known by whoss co-operation the contract was to bo carried out, it is extemely desirn. ble that something moro should bo heard and done in the premise RECIPROCITY WITH BRITISH AMERICA, The Committes on Commerce of the Houge of Representatives has made n unanimons re- port rocommending the sppointmont of a Iloard of Comumissioners, to act with a like Board appointed by the British Government, to ascortain ou what busis a treaty of recipro- cal trado for the mutual benefit of the people of the United States and the six Dominion Provinces'can be negotisted. The Commit- tee, in their written report, discuss the ques- tion in ol its details, and reaches the con. clusion that n cnstoms’ union, or, na the Ger- mans call it, a Zollverein, is the most advisa. ble, most equitable, and the easiost-exccuted plan. Wo trast that the conclusions of tho Committeo will be indorsed by Congress and the President, and that the preliniinary steps in the establishment of reciprocal trade with Conads mny bo taken ot an early day. A troaty providing for partinl reciprocal trade was rojected Ly the Benate two years ogo; but no reason can be successfully given why this country and Canadn might not have common tariff and common commercinl regu- lations, and such reciprocity of trade as is suggested by the terrilorial lines and intimate relations of the two countries, Some porson has been torturing his weak Lrain in an attempt to prove that Toz Cmi- 0100 TnIvune in 1865 was opposed to recip- rocal trade with Cansda and favored the abrogation of the then existing treaty. To, prove this * inconsistency,” extracts from articles publishod in this paper in 1865 are re- produced in the columns of tho Jnter.Ocean, aud n sprawling attempt is made to parade argumonts agninat reciprocity. Conceding that what tho ultra-protectionists are aiming at by thoso citations to bo trus, it only es- tublislies that the Inter-Ocean is twelve yoara behind Tie Turnvnz, and that it is groveling in tho stupidity and nbsurdity which Tux TainuNe many years ago discarded. If in. telligonce and common sense over make any progress iu the Infer-Ocean office, its puerilo esunyA {0 waintain the doctrino of protec. tion will be laughable to its cditors twolve years honco, After tho closo of the War thero was n general fecling of resentment towards Cannda for the undisguised sympathy shown by that country for the Rebels, and beesuse that sympathy had on more than ono occhsion taken active form. ‘“There was n general bo. liof that the Canadians enjoyed greater ad- vantages under the treaty than we did,— certainly the Canadions wero most anxious to continue thnt treaty,—and it was con- nidered that its abrogation would be a sort of punishment of our Dritish nelghbors for their unfriendliness during thd War, 8o general was this feeling that there was bardly Any opposition to giving the required notice, and the treaty passed away, In 1865 there were many articles published in Tax Tninone upon the Reciprocity trenty and other snb. Jects, into which there wore introduced para~ grophs nnd sentences that would hardly stand tho test of subscquent reflectlon and cool yeasom, It happened very Lkely that somo of thess erratical propositions es- caped the attontion of the editor, The writer of them has not been con. nected with this paper for years; but if Tue Cuoaco Trisune ever published the atatement that the importation of grain fnto the United States from Csonda reduced tho price of grain produced in this country, then thero was o sad neglect of editorial revision. The Canadions produce a fine article of winter wheat, which, yoars ago, before Min. nesota became o prolifie producer, was large. ly lmported iuto the Eastern markets for willing purposes and to mix with Western spring wheat, Tho result was that the Aumerican surplus for exportation to Europo was proportionately inoreased. ‘I'he joint surplus of Canada and the United States hos the sawe market for export. The price of grain in the home market iy regulated and governed by the prico for exportation, The home price caunot permanently exceod that which is offered for it for exportation. Hence itls jmmaterinl to Canada how much Ameri- can wheat enters Cunads, because, Canada having a surplus, the price of both tha American and Cauadian wheat is fixed by the price it can command for exportation. Ha, a4 long as we have o surplus to export, it is imuwaterial how much Canadian wheat comes iuto this country, because the price of the whole is regulated by the export valus, I8 dsdmmaterial whether £ the surplus graln of 1HE CHICAGUL ARLuUlve 'LULKSDA . tho Unitod States goes to Enrope by way of | for tho Presidency. What ars his qualifica- tho Bt. Lawrence or the Canadian surplus goos to Europe by way of the Hudson River, tions? As = politician, he is by nature n coward and trimmer, and, although an in. the home price being fixed by the price of- | tenso partisan, he is two.faced and withont fered for oxport. It is a confmon thing, if | backbone. A comparison has beon mnde be- not a gonerat thing, that at cortain seasons of tween him and Fravgumy Pixror, but the the yenr (ospecinlly in winter), grain is held | comparison docs not hold good. Fraxzrix at Chicago at prices which, with freighta and | Prznoz was unknown, Hexnnicrs s known, storage added, aro groater than those offored in tho London market, Dut that is duo to the fact that there is profit in Lolding grain in Chicago during tha season of high-wintor All.rail froights until navigation opons.and cheaper transportation offers. What we mean to ray s, that, taking the year through, the price of grain at home s regulated by tho prico it can command for oxport, The futro- duction of grain into the United States from Canadn, or fnto Canada from the United States, cannot, so long as both countries bave o surplus to soll, affoct the price in either conntry, except so far as it nffects thoe cost of transportation to the ultimata market. Tho opening of edch new grain.growing State has no elect upon the prices of grain in Iiinols, Binco the introduction of ril- ways, the surplus grain produced in Wiscon- sin, Towa, Minnesota, Knnsas, and now of Nebraska, have been added to the general atock ; this has not affected tho prico of grain in Dllinols, Mic¢higan, or Indiann, becanso the prico of what is left after supplying home consumption is regulated by the export prico of the surplus ; and so with tha grain product of Canada, whether it be exporteddirect from Montreal or bo added to tho Amorican aggre- gate, it shares the fate of tho genoral sur. plus. Reciprocal trade with Cauadn, there- fore, will have no moroe effect upon the pricea of grain in tho United States than has the ro- ciprocal trade between lllinofs and Minne- sola, NATIONALISIS AND CONFEDERATES. The Democratio party, no matter how closely held togother by the hope of possess- ing what Mr, OaLmoun styled * tho cohesive power of public plunder,” is cvidently demor- alized on the questions of doctrino, Thus, Alr. Joun Raxporrn Tuckes, in whose veing courses the blood of all the families of strict construction in Virginia, deliborately told the assembled Domocrncy at Washington, the other day, that the United Statos was not n nntion; thatit was n mere confederacy of sovercign States, acting through a common sgent, under o Constitution, in malking which the people Lind no voice or part, but which was mado by ‘‘States,” and not by men. Hardly hod the representative of the tomb of Ixz closed his Randolphisn depinl of American nationality then s Democratic lawyor, representing o constituency of plain, uusophisticated Hoosiers, rose in his place and donounced the constitutionnl doctrine of the Virginian to be ridiculous twaddlo and exploded bosh, The Indisna Democrat was unsparing.in his criti- ciam, and crowned his heresy by insisting thot ho claimed & national citizenship, and that all his constituents claimed followship in American nationality, Whilo wo may con- cedo that the Confederate wing of the Demo- ‘cratic party hos o large ascendency in Con- gress, Mr, HoLaaN, ropresenting the Nation. alists, hns by far the largest backing among not only the Domocratic masses, but among tho peoplo genorally. Theroaro but fow men who took part in the War, and especially on tho Confederato stde, but who will agroe with Mr. Mowaax that that War decided most crophatically that this was n nation, and had overy attribute of nationality that was ever claimed by any Government, On this ques. tion, however, Southern Democrats, who claim to have received their Democracy by s sort of apostolio succession, will insist on tho Confederate theory, but tho mpss of the Democratio party, following practical and sensiblo lenders like Mr. Horatan, will inaist that this ia a nation. Between ths Nation- alista and the Confederates thera is a wido and irreconcilablo difforonce, and, should thero ever ariso an occasion for a Democratic determination of that question, the Confed- erates will havo ecither to abandon their theory, or, following it to its logical conclu. sion, seccedo and become an indopendont Confedorate party. HERDRICES AS A CANDIDATE, A dispatch from Washington in our last is- sue credits Mr, Brame with moking some prognostications as to the Democratio candi- dato for President, in tho course of which ho scttles upon Mr. Hexoniors o the probablo nomines of the Convention, because he can best sottle the radical differances between the two wings of the party, Whether Mr, Brame be the author of this forecasting or not, there Is a very strong air of probability about the resulta foreshadowod, —sufliciently strong, in fact, to warrant us in discussing Mr, Irx. pRIcKS a4 o mero politician, for his best friends can hardly claim that he bas ever risen above this distinction, An episode in tho campnign of 1862-'¢3 lets in o flood of light upon Mr, H{enpuicks' chnracter. During that campaign it waa quietly und privately understood that Hix. vutexa would speak in a little town in Southern Indian, settled by men of Southern proclivitios, and ns remote from any. sympatly with tho Union ns o town in Mississippi or Alnbama. The knowledgo of the speech was sedulously kept from Republicans and e publican nowspapers, but the nows in some way woa roceived at the offico of the Cinein. nati Glazette, and & short-hand reporter was dispatched to report tho specch, Tho Gov- ernor had a rousing sudlence, mado up of all the neighborhood, who during the day had been busy in damning Anranax LincoLN and his **hirelings,” hurrahing for Jerp Daviy, and abusing all sympathizers with the Union causo, Hixonics commeuced his speech, unaware of the presonco of the Gazetls short- bLand man, in the spproved Southern style. He was * firing " up the **Southern heart” nt a rapid rate, when guddenly a Copporhead re- porter of the Cincinnati Enguirer atopped upon the platform and whispered a word in his ear, 1o turned pale, and then cautioned the Gazetts reporter not to misrspresent him, ‘The roporter roplied that he was taking the epeech in ghort-hand, whereupon heresumed, but ho did not fire the Bouthern heart again, ‘The rest of Lis apeech wax ay Larmless as the cooing of a dove, The wischief, however, hnd.}ulan done, and the Bouthern part of his spoech wont upon the record in the columus of the Guzetta oy he bod deliverad it. This incident brings out (ho real charactor of tho man whom the Confedorates propose to nomi. nate for tho Presidency. 'Yho recont camn. paign in Ohlo furnishes another illustration of his peculiar gifts of ‘“‘straddling” the fenco. The speoch which he delivered in that campaign wad for weeks aftorward a joke amoug Democrats. It realizod the character. istics of Banvuw's What Is It. What it meant, what side it favored, what it was de- livered for, what dootrines be sdvocated and what ho opposed, no one could then tall, and 00 one knows to this day. ‘This iy the dublous soré of man whom the Damoczatic-Confederates proposs to nominate and well known, ns tho great Amorican trim- mor and Oily Gammon, Ho j8 an ultrs. Sonthorn man in his feolings, nnd a subscriber to nll the Confedornte dogmaa growing out of State Hovoreignty and thoe resolutions of '98, but he dnres not cnunciate or dofend them publicly or manfully, Ho hns no positive qualities, or if he has thom nover darea to show them, o carries wnter on both shoulders. Ilo cannot toke rank ns o stateeman, for he has novor originated nnything good or bad in his long political eareer, Iis record in Congress js & straddling one. His record on tho stump is similar, 1o Las noyer been tho chnmplon of anational policy, nor the representative of positive measure. Iois a plausible politi- cian, a8 smooth, oily partison, n smart, voluble talker, a good lLand-shaker, and but- ton-holer, and amiler, now good Lord nnd now good devil. the constant use of theso olectioncoring qualities, which aro charncteristics of the professional political partisan, he bas kept himsel! ot the head of the Dewocratic party in Indiana for soveral yeurs, and now proposes to use that position a3 the fulerum with which to lift himsolt into tho Presidenoy. In neeve, nbility, and positive qualitics, and ns a represontative of o distinctive policy, Gov. TiLpen's little finger s thicker than Hex- priors’ wholo body, Mr, Taurstax has posi- tivo opinions, Although he sometimos qunils in defending thom, ho but rarely *straddles,” Ho is consistent, ond, although ko may be wrong in his opinions, he steadfastly adhores to them. Henpnicks hos no fixed opinions for the public ear. Whon ho is with Union men, his opinions aro Union ; when he is with Confederntes, ho is as good a Confod as any other firc.cater. Whon ho is with bhard. money men, lo ia iu favor of honest money ; when he is with rag-money men, he fondles the mg-baby. Which of the two ho is really in favor of, no ome can gny, for the reason that ho has not courage enough himsel! to tell. Ile trims himaelf to overy passing breeze, He absorbs other peo- ple's opinions like o sponge, and ho floats with the popular curront that seoms to him tobo the strongest. If theso bo qualifica. tions for the Presidency from tho Democratic. Confederato standpoint, then Gov. Hexpnicks is the most availablo man tho Confederates can select. Ho entirely fills the bill, and he con straddle the distance between tho two wings of tho Democratic.Confederato party, if it were os for s from heaven to carth, OUTE CAROLINA. - Our Washington dispatches of this morn. ing contaiu n lettor from Gov, CmAuDERLAIN, of South Carolina, to Sonator Monzox, which is & very significant political document. Over- looking the possible personal reasons for tho composition and publication of tho opistle, wo find it of unique interest in what it saye of tho roal state of affairsin the Palmotto State and the political probabilitics thore, For some time, the National Republican of ‘Washington has been rivaling the Now York Sun iu its denuncintions of Ouampenrarv, It hos colled himn o “*thief,” mentioned him o3 eminently fit for the Penitentiary, and denounced him as a Democrat! Some friend of his, wrting from ‘Washington, told him that Monzox, too, con. sidored him as * practically idontified with the Democrats,” snd had no hopo of South Carolina’s going Republican. Hine il cerba, Tho letter ia not one of remarkabla modesty, but it soems to state facts, and to do so with fairnoss. ; After six years of conatant peculation and theft in publio places, the Bonth Carolina community bogan to demand somothing bottor, Danier H. OHAMBERLAIN was nomi- nated for Governor in 1874, by tho Repub- licans, as a Reform candidate. His ability was unquestionablo; his charactar at the time wod not. Tho Iattor had suffered on acconnt of his nctions ns Attorney-General from 1868 to 1872, Tbeus sctious have never been satisfactorily oxplained, though thoy perhaps may po some day, He was dis. trusted by thousauds of Ropublicans, Thero was a bolt, A ecandidate wns nomi- nated by part of the regular Republicans, the Liberaly, and tho Domocrats. CitaMnerrary was elected, howoever, by 11,000 majority,—a loss of 24,000 Republican majority In two years, Ho was swom in Deo, 1, 1874, and hos been vigorously at work roforming ever since, Ifo hos dono so woll that he may fnirly be said to Lave atoned for the mis. takos—provided they wore mistakes—of hiy carlier carcer. But he hns had to meet flarco opposition insido kis own party. . The mon who had talked reform « wore oghast at tho fdea of doing ' any- thing or baving anything dome in the way of reform. ‘Lho Gevernor's policy, how- over, was successfully carricd throogh. Ho stopped stealing, The minsscs of tho com. munity, among whow, of course, wers a nuwmber of Democrats, heartily praised him, Atonce tho thieves bogan to yoll: “Ho is going ovor to tho Democrats” and * Ha wants social recognition from- tho Robels.” But meonwhilo the Dowocratio party had been woothed into o moribund condition. It could find no fault with the powers that be, and was dissolving for want of a “cry.” ‘Thero was no party organization, no party spirit. “On the 16th dsy of last Decembor, the Democracy of Bouth Carolina was in porfect collapse; no Btate issues counld havo given them life or activity ; it is donbtful whether even natiun- al issucs would have bad force enough to Lavo induced a canvass of the Btate for the Domocratio candidates in the coming Presi- dential campaign, undor the circumstances then existing.” A day, bavely more than an lour, changed all this. The Legislature elocted ¥, J, Moses, Jr., and W, J, Wieren to sents upon the Cirouit Bench. Wareprn waa given tho GCharleston Clrcuit, tho most important in the State, The Governor draws the following pleasing pon-pictures of these men: Moxzs was my predecessor as Govarnor, Unloss the universl belief amoag all classea of peopls in this titato {8 mistaken, hie ia a3 nfamous s character as ever i1 any sgo disgraced snd proatituted publio position, .+ » Tuere is not amen iu Houth Carolins who Would trust Mouxs with §10, Of Wuirruh it canbe sald that he seema to have lacked ouly opportunity to prove himself tha squal of aus ju infawy, Iguorsntof law, fguarant of worals, gaumbler Ly open practice, an smbezzler of publia fuuds, hota ns undt for judicial position as any man ‘whom by parsibility you could name, ‘e election of these men split the Repub- Ucan party of the Btate into two fragments wid gave new life to the dying Denooraoy., The ono chance of maintainiug Republican supremacy was to promptiy do the one right thing,—disown Wuirren and Moszs, This was done, Om account of it, Cuanmxaram has beon charged with plaving iato the hands JANUAR ‘But when the 25, 18.6. of the Domocrata!

ANGLO-BAXON MONEY. . The curions course of the London Times in first attacking aud then defending Senator Buemuan's schome for an Anglo-American currency hns drawn general attention to tho plan. The commorcinl advantiages of a uni- form curroncy for English-speaking peopla throughout tho world would be groat. The “ almighty dollar " is worshiped in America, North and South, in Chinn anud Japan, while the ‘* sovercign ” is sovereign over the trado of that Empiro on which the * sun never sota " and of tho many countrics which are commercially, though not politicslly, in the handsof the English, If the twovaluescouldbe givon a common denominator, internnational trade would bo simplified and strongthened, They can be. Reducing the smount of specio In our dollar by .88 por cent would mnko it worth just one-fifth of tho Dritish sovercign, The coin dollar would then be worth 97,12 cents in our present coinage, A simplo law would protect the holders of public and private seourities, pnyable in ourpresont coin, from any loss, It wasa blunder for us toever cnt looso from the Dritish standard, For this blunder the first Congress is responsible, At a timo when Spain was the great silvor-mart of the world, hor “milled dollars” formed the mnin medium of our exchange. Honco the wuso of the BSpanish dollar hero, coufused coinnga of the Colonies wne swept oway, the now dollar of the United Statga should have been mnde equal to ono.fifth of tho sover- eign of tho mother country, This was not done. Biuco then, Congress has occasionally stultified itsolf Ly solemnly voting that five dollars shall exchange for o pound sterling, without troubling itsclf to make thoir value Just equal to that of the pound or sovercign. ‘Tho latter is what nceds to bo dono now, 1f, howover, wo make this concession, wo moy fairly ask for somo roturn. England should adopt thedecimal systom and make ton farthings ono penny, ten pence one shilling, and twenty shillings ono pound. Thoen the farthing will bo one-fourth of a cent, the pen. ny 2} cents or half o nickel, the sbilling 26 cents or a **quarter,” the sovercign five dol. lars, Four shillings would then bo the same a3 our dollar. 8uch o combined changa would bo a groat step towards o tuue world's curroncy. France, Bolgium, Bwitzerland, sud Italy have the Jfrune as their unit, and the coins of one pnss at full value in all the others, Gormany has tho mark as o unit. This is worth 24} conts in our presont coin, or the morest inconsider- able triflo losa than an English shilling. Even after the suggested chango in the latter, the differenco in value wonld be so slight that Germany, which, as an intelligent Gov- ernmont, can readily manage such matters, could be casily porsunded to assimilate her coinage to the Anglo-American standard. The commereial world would then bo divided into two great groups, ono of them Anglo- Saxon, the othor Latin; one with a currency of shillings, marks, and dollars, tho other with o currency of franca, The former is suro to be more widely used, and this fact will finnlly make Anglo-Saxon money uni- vorsal. The world is much more likely to obtain a uniform cwrrency in this way than by making attempts to bring about the wholo thing at onco by means of many tedious troaties and cumbersome compromises.

It says, among other things: *'Ine Tawune is certalnly making itself ridiculous by ita violent spasms of rage and bitter abuse of the Southern people,” Will the O.J. be kind enough to specify what abuse of the *‘Houthern people” it rofers to? Doea it call Jery Davis the “‘Bouthern peoplo”? Is opposition to am- nestying that murdorous scoundrel * bitter abuss of the Bouthern people”? Or doos it mean that replying to the Georgla fire-sater, Hii, is abuse of the Bouthern people? Hux is the individual who cast slandsrous aspornions on the people of tho North, charg- ing them with practicing worso cruoltios on Confederato prisoncrs than Jxrr Davis in. flictod on the Unfon prisonors at Andemon- ville. Can it really bo considered abusing tho Southorn people to rosont such o vile enlumnny ? I'nz Tamune hins beon care. ful not to conneet the Bouthern poople with tho crimes against humanity committed by tho domon Davis or his bruto Winoen, Does tho C.-J, wish to be underatood as convoying the iden that the Bouthern people indorse or defond the atrocious conduct of Jevr Davis towards the Union prisoners at Libby, Balis- bury, ‘or Andersonvillo? Doos thoe O.-J. really beliovo that dree Davis is a fit subject for nmneaty, and ja it absolutely necersary to restoro him to full political rights in order to induco our Southorn brothren to forgivo the North for intorfering with their littlo nrrange- ment for dismembering tho American Union?
