It will bo seen that Judges Fanwenn snd Bootn, in their opinions on the Mayor's case, ngreo with Mossra. Jewerr and Dexr, that the Common Council having refusod to call the spocial eloction for Mayor, it was within the power of the people, at n regular olec- tion, at the regular times and places fixed by Iaw, to vote to fill tho vacancy. Judge Me- Avrusren admits that when & notitw is re. quired for a regular election, and the Council fails to give the notice, fhe people may, nevertheless, proceed and hold the clection, which will be as valid s if such notice hnd boen given. Messrs. Fanwrzin and Bootnt apply this rule to tho recent election, but ware overruled by the other three Judges. An important meeting of the Common Council wns hold lnst evening, Mayor Cor- vix presiding. Lato in the day that func- tionary appears to have discovered that the apirit of roform is abroad in tho land o submitted two messages, ono removing City- Marshal Goopewy, which had already been accomplished by previous legislation, and the other removing the members of the Board of Public Works and appointing City-Engineer Cuesnrovou asSuperintondent of that depart- ment. To this latter sction the Council refuged its concurrence by a two-thirds vote, upon the ground that the necessary or- dinauco for the reconstruction of the Depart- ment of Public Works had not baen passed, ond that the appointment of a Superintend- ent conld not therefore bo legnlly made. The Council by a two-thirds vote reaffirmed its former sction in telation to the bond of Comptroller DrnicrsoN over the veto of the Mayor, An ordinance named Junc 27 aa the dato of a special election for Mayor was re- forred to the Finance Committee, with i structions to report at n macting of the Coun- cil to-morrow evening, Some idoa of the popnlarity and strength of the BmisTow movemont in Chicago can be gained from the wonderful progress it has made since its incoption a fow days ago. ‘The first meeting was held la:t Friday even- ing, whoreat the Bnistow Club was orgnn. izod. Bimce that time the Club roster has recoived tho names of three thou- sand flve hundred -of the leading eit izens of Chicago! Such being tho fact, it is oagy to understand why the mass.mooting held Tust ovening, under the auspices of tho Club, was one of tho largest and finest political gatherings that ever assombled in this city. The capacity of McCormick Hunll was strained to contain the vast crowdin attendance, ond the spirit of the meeting was one of intenso earnostnoss aud hearty ontbhusinsm, Tho Republicans of Chicago havo chosen this mothod of indicat- ing to the delegates from Illinois to tho National Convention thoir sincero convictions and desivos with respeot 10 the Previdentinl candidate who shall be nominated at Cincinuati, and their wishes should bave due weight and rucoive respoot- ful consideration, The Batsrow sontiment in Chicago is one which cannot be ignored with snfoty to the Republican parly in thiy city, county, and State, and the monster mass-meeting of last night was an expression of that sontimont which can scarcely fail to Lo heard ond felt, Aln, Braine made a cnrious * vindication” yesterday. Ho read fifloen of tho eightcon lotters he took from Moruigan, These letters, instoad of being a vindication, scemn to pile evidence mnountnin high that Mr, Brane, ever since ho has boen in Congress, hus been an active and extensivo operator in the sccuritics in wildeat railroads. In one of tho lotters ho refors to a decision made by himself as Speaker, in which he ruled out o proposcd smendment to the Fort Bmith & Little Itock Ratiroad bill, which amendment ‘would have defeated the object sought by the Company, The range of sgourities in which Le was dabbling und speculating cover a long list of tho speculative and questionable rail- road corporations, The charge against Mr, Brare ig, not that he has been personally dishonest, or that Lo has cheated anybody, but that whilo a member of Congress, and partioularly as Bpeaker, be has been exten- nively engaged as a broker in selling the questionable stocks aud bonds of railrond compauies which have had, aud have now, legislative domands before Congresd ; and in one of these letters ho rofers to n decision made by himeclf which ssved one of the bills of one of thewo companies. His worst enomies have not been able to fix upon him the character of a gambler and speculator in the securities of questionable corporations, &3 he has done in these letters, all of which were written, as Lo says, in secreoy and con. fidence. Inatead of & vindication, the lot- tors seem to establish the chiarge, — The Chicago produce markets wero active yesterdny, grain being strongerand provisions wenk. Moss pork wns 28@400 por brl lower, closing strong at 317.75 for June and $17.05 for July. Lardwas16@374c per 100 s low- er, closing at $10,60@10.62§ for June and $10.60 for July.

X Frionde of Mr. Brame, in commonting upon the events of yosterdny, scom to count strongly upon tho reactionary effcot to bo produced by tho fnot that tho investigation is conducted by two Confoderates. A Western Congressman is quoted as saying that this makos Bratsz's nomination abso- lutely secare, and many predictions in a gim- ilar strain wero ourrent in Washington yes- terdny. When the intense dramatic effect produced by thia brilliant performianco in the House shall hiave given placo to a sober, crit- ical reviow of the situation, it will probably oceur to these enthusinstic people that the motives of Mr. Bramng’s investigators, and the fact that two of them were once identi- fled with the * Lost Cause,” will not have the offect of diverting public attention from the results of the investigation, or of shut. ting from viow the one great consideration whother the man who wrote those letters, and was mized up in the trausactions of which they relate, is tho man to lend the Republican party to victory in the great con- tast to be decided next November, It is AMr. Buame’s antecedents, and not those of in. vestigators, Which is the question now under discussion. THE MAYOR'S CASE DECIDED. The decision of the Cirenit Court—Judges McAruisTer, WiLLisms, Rooens, Fanwery, and Boorn—in the case of Cotviy va. Howvne was rendered yestorday, The de- cision is to the effect that the adoption of the now charter in April, 1875, vacatod the office of Mayor, but authorized the incumbent to cxercise the powers of Mayor until tho va- cancy should be filled. 'Fhe vacancy leaving mioro than a year of the term uncxpired was to bo filled by a special eleotion, to be called and hold ns directed by the new charter, which on that subject provides : See. 01, 1f there fs o fallure to elect any officer herein required to be elected, or the porson elected should fall to qualify, the City Councll or Board of Trastees mav forthwith order 8 new clection there- for; and in all cascs, - when necessary for the pur- poscsof this nct, may call speclal elections, no- point judges and clerks thereof, canvass the ro- turns thereof, and provide by ordinance for the mode of conducting the same; and shall glve notico of such special clections, in which ehalf be stated the quostions to be voted upon, and causs such notices to bo published or posted for the same lengthof time, and in the same manner, as fa re- quired In the case of regular annual clectlons in such citics and villages. Tho Common Council having refuged and omitted to eall n special election to fill the vacnney in the ofiice of Mayor, the Court liolds that tho voluntary assombling of the people at the recent city election, and their voting thoreat for a person to fill the vacan- cy, was not valid. Thoy hold that the prior call and notice for a specinl election were in- dispensable, and therefors the clection of Mr. Hovne was not logal, and could not be made legal by the subsequent action of the Common Council, Tho Court having decided that the office of Mayor is vacant, CorLviy being suthorized to oxorcise the powers only until his successor is olected, and that it can only be filled by a specinl election to be callod by the City Coun- cil, such an ‘lection can therefors bo now called, and the election mny bo held in time to eunble the new Mayor to begin his dutich on tho 1st of July. The docision establishes the general fact that Coviy has beon an usurper of the offica of Mayor for over a yeat, aud that his usurpa. tion has been protected by the late Common Council in their doflance of popular wishes aud common decency i refusing to call a special eloction. "The grent orime against the law and against public morality was the craven profligacy of thoe Aldermen who re- fused to order o special election to fill a no- torious vacancy. T'hedecision of the Cireuit Court is a complete-disposal of the delusion that **the Supremo Court had decided that Mr. CoLvix was entitled to hold over uutil Apri}, 1877." It ralses the presumption that, had the application to the Bupromo Court for a mandatnus beon made gfter instoad of before the Council had refused to call a spo- cial election, the writ would have been granted. The immediate result of this decision, therofore, is, that Mr. Hoynk censes to be Mayor, and Mr. CoLvix is reiustated as Act- ing Mayor until tho clection lins been had and & Mayor elocted. ‘The law of the Stato provides that twenty days' notice shall be given of o spocial eleotion, snd that time must intorveno between the call and the olection itself. I'he decision is a great moral and legnl victory for the poople over the machinations of a corrupt and dishonorable usurpation. On the point whether the people could Lold o apocial olection to fill & vacanay, in the ab- senco of any authoritative call or notice, was one which had never been decided by any Court and was therefors doubtful, The spontancous action of the poople at their wass meeting at Exposition Hall has had oven better results then wero even then anticipated. The Mayor and Council had then put the publio at defiance and Couviy had demanded, as had Tweep, * What are you going to do about it?” The people doci- ded that they would try the effoct of an ex- pression of public opinion, and for this pur- posu decided to vote for Mr, Hovne. That gentlemaon, with no desire to be Mayor, con- seuted to tho uso of bis name as a meany of protesting against the Corvin froud and usurpation. 'The proceedingd resulting there- from, while they have decided that the spoutaneous ballot for Br. Horne was not o legal election, has forced tho institution of logal proceedings by Corviw, eod the procurement of & logal decision equivalent to an ordor that the City Council call a special olection to £l the vacanoy in the offico of Mayor, The Bupreme Courf being, unfortunately, unable. to act, the pro- ceedings instituted by the Exposition Hall meoting havo brought about what was then 20 deflantly rofused—the calling of a specinl election to flll the vacancy in tho offico of Mayor, MR. BLAINE'S DEAREST FOES. The Quincy Whig, in a stato of high and consuming wrath, announces that, if Bramve a3 & Presidential candidate is now politically dead, the Bastow men shall not administor upon his estato. It insinuates, but does not oponly declaro, that the friends of Gen, Brisrow have killed him, if he is killed, and that the Brarxe men will have their revengo on Bristow at Cincinnati. The peoplo of Illinois, without rogard to color or provious condition of gorvitude, will recognizo this kind of talk s the languago of overy bafllod and exnsperated spoilsman whom Gen. Baistow has arrested and brought to the door of the Penitentiary. Tho Quiney Whig knows thot neither Gen. Bristow nor his frionds have brought Brame to his prosent pitiable condition. It kuows that tho story of the Littla Rock & Fort Smith bonds, the investigation of which Las led to all tho other disclosures, was started by tho immediato frionds, neighbors, and adherents of Senator MonTon,—that tho friends of (en, Brisrow discrodited it, and, beyond notifying Mr. Braing privately that such a story wos in tho wind, washed their hands of it. In point of fact, Mr. Bristow has had no machine organization, and has none now, with which to propagato such p story, or inatitute n prosccution of Bramve or any other candidate. Hig sup- port bas boen o spontancous popular ap- rising, like that which earried both Lincory and Grant into the Presidency. Mr. Bramng knows full well from whose hnnds camo the mortal stabs that have pieced his corslot. Ho knows that the first ono come from Indinnapolis. Nobody questious that fact ; and yet, mark this! 'Thoe Illinois dele- gation contains men who will go to Cincin. nati swearing vengennco on the asaassins of Brameg, and who will glut their revenge by casting their voles for Oriver P. Monzox. Others will satinte their wrath by voting for Roscoz CoNgLivg, 8 man who holds Bramve in such abhorronce that ho has not been onspeaking torms with him for4welvoyenrs! Gen, Brmistow may bo thrown overboard Ly the joint offorts of all the others, but wo intend that tlho public shall know the full depth of the hypocrisy that makes protended friendship for Brame a pretext for giving the nomination to ono or the other of his dearest foes, It is not boyond the bounds of probability that the friends of MoxToN and Coxxvino at Cincinnati will claim eredit to thomselves for having saved the party from the peril of condign defeat by exposing Brawve beforchand, and will ask and receive the votes of such delegates os the Quincy Whig can control, 0s & particular reward of morit, At all events, no delegate who goes to Cincinnati, and no coustituency that sends him thore, shall romain ignorant of the fact that it is not friendship for Braing, nor ton. dorness for his feolings, nor a pious regard for his manes, that carries hispretended sup. porters into tho camp of those whosa daggers are yot unwiped of his blood. PROSPECTS OF A EUROPEAN WAR, Is Europe drifting into war? One woekago yesterday Anpur-Aziz, Sultan of Turkey, was deposed by a sudden popular rovolution, and Munap Errexpi, his nowhew, ssconded the throne of Ormuan, Tho news was received in England with jubilation. It was regarded s in the interests of peace, notwithstanding England's refusal to accept tho Berlin agroe- ment of tho threo Powers. Under the influ- enco of this foeling Turkish securities im- proved, and the English creditors felt easier, whilo the throo grent Powers that had mot at Dorlin romained ominously silent. In diplomacy, as in war, radical changes are made in adny, Anpor-Aziz hng Ieft a legacy of trouble to his succossor. Beforo hois fairly upon his throne, ho finds himself sur- rounded with the preparations for a great war,—tho Servians and Bulgarinns collocting their armics nnd hurrying them to the fron- tier to make common cause with the other Belavos ; tho Black Sea swarming with Rus. sinn gunbonta; tho English war vessels steaming across the Moditerranoan towards tho Bosphorus; Greece placing hor littls army on & war footing and negotiating a war loan of money. The relations botween Turkey and the Christian insurgents and between Turkey and the threo Powors now begin to lose in- terest ns compared with the disturbanco of the relations botwoon Groat Dritain and Rnssia, If the signs aro to bo trusted, the Eastern question loomns up again, and an- other Crimean war is inevitable, in which England must side with Turkoy without the co-operation of Franco, and with Austria and Italy in active sympathy with Russia, England has saddenly changed front on tho Turkish question. Inraged at tho perfldy of tho Turks and ot the loss of tho vast sums of monoy they loanod them, thoy have’ for n year past oxposed their character, through their papors, to all Europe. They have denounced them as profligates, sensu. alists, swindlers, and tyrants. Thoy have exposed their persccutions of the Christians. They have shown up the rottenness of thoir Government, and they have domanded tho dismomborment of their Empire. All this becauso tho Turks swindled thom out of thelr indcbtedness, amounting to hun- dreds of millions of dollars. Now, England, nctunted by sclfish political motives, suddenly turns about and, it we mny credit the dispatclies, effecta an alliance with Turkey, Ier fleot in the Mediterra~ nean has beon ordersd to the Bosphorus, os- tonsibly to make nn inspoction of tho forti- fications at the roquest of the Lorte, but in renlity to ocbeck Russin. The Germans un- derstand this woll enough. The Berlin cor- rospondent of the London Z'inwes says: *'The Ministerial North-German Gazette gives us to understand that, owing to antagonism bo- tweon Russin aiid England, all Europe is plunged into o most critical situation.” Tho National Zeitung rogards the pacific view ra- contly takon by Count ANpmassy as ontirely erroncous, and foresecs that momontous de- cisions will now have to te immediately adopted by tho various Powers. The Z'imes' correspondent remarks: ““There is but too much reason for these approhonsions,” ‘The London 7T4mes, of the 23d ult., in an article upon the Berlin agreomont makes the follow- ing significant statomont ; The question 18 sometimes argue ? we had no further interest In Turkey because wo havo loat our Hlluslons about the Turks. 1t isadmitted that weo should not stir to defend them sgainst their Chriatian subjects, or, indecd, against anybody; it 1v thought that we have doue enough, snd more than enough, for them, and may now lcave them to their fata, They aro barbarous and bankrypt, and we are freo from all obligations towards thew. But this argument ignores tho all-important point that It {s the territory occupled by the Turks, and not the Turks themeslves, which s the proper ob- Ject of our sulicitude. To preveat the sbsorption of this territory by any Kuropean Power may be taken as the chlef end and aim of our policy, 1t is to provent the absorption of Constan. ,tiple by Russia angd to seal up the Bogphorua \ngalnst her that England is now moving her ¥ fleots. Russin, while ostonsibly romaining quiot and urging a pacifio settlomont, ia in reality engnged in notive warfare againat Turkey. Bervis, Bulgaris, and Ronmania swarmn with her agents, exciting disaffection among tho people. The Sorvian troops, which are now ranged on the frontior, are officersd by Russinn Generals. Sho holds the Helavio provinces lika hounds at.the leash, rondy to lot them slip at the proper moment. 8ho hins alrendy many war vesscls in the Black Bea, and has issued ordors for tho construotion of many more. If she can obtain control of the Bosphorus sho will not only have an outlot to the Mediterranean, but she will nover ngain relinquish hLer hold upon it Ouco in possossion, she threatens Egypt, compels England to hold Aloxandrin in ordorto defend the 8uez Canal, and throntons not only to cut off England's route to Asin, but to ondanger hor Asiatic posgossion. Once in possession of tho Bosphorus and locking it up, sho holds Asin at her merey. 8he willswoop down the Euphrates to the Persian Gulf through Tur- koy in_Asin. 8he already holds Toorkistan, and will drive tho wonk powers, Persia, Cabool, and Beloochistan, before her like chalf boforo the wind, thus renching tho bordors of Hindostan and threatoning British Indin. All this hangs upon tho possession of Constantinople, Tho littla breoze which DLegan in Herzegovina a yenr ogo hos now dovelopod in & tompest, and tho dronded IEastern question is forced upon England again. Diplomincy mny onco moro ward off the conflict ; the events of ono day may precipitate it. In case it comes, the map of Enrope must be recon- structed. Roumania, Bulgaria, Constanti- nople, the Bosphorus, all go to Russin; Sor- via, Bosnis, and Montonegro, to Austrin, forming n colossal Pan-Sclavonic Empire ; Macedonis and Thessaly to Greece ; Northern Austrin to Germany, whoso cunning Chan- cellor sits liko a spider in his web, watching the flies buzzing sbout him. What goes to Englond? Bho will take Egypt, if France will allow it. Meanwhile, tho Russinns will be betweon her Indin, Thero may bo anoth- er Crimenn tar, but this time -England will not have France, Italy, and Austrin to help Lor, BLAINE'S LETTER TO FISHER, - In order to simplify the present embarrags. ments in which Mr. BraNe appears before tho public in his dual capacity, as a Dresi- dential candidato and a railrond stock-brolker, wo wmay et aside altogother his remarkable condnet in seizing the letters ho wrote to Frsuer, but which he yesterday read to the Touse, thus showing his motive in seizing them to have been different from that gen- erally attributed to him. The renson why the Cincinnati Convontion should not think seriously of nominating Mr. Bramve is sufli- ciently got forth in the singlo leiter to Mr. Fisnes which wns made public several days ngo, and which is admitted on all sides to bo genuine, We reproduce this letter verbatim: [Private.) AvaustA, Me,, Nov, 25, 1870.—3My Dear Mr. Fisher: A yeur ago and mors I apoke fo you about purchaalng an intérest in the Northern Pacifie Rail- road for yourself and any you might choose to as- wocinte with yoursclf, The matter pussed by with- ot my belugz ablo to control it, an nothing more was sald about It Sfnce then the JAY Cooke con- tract has been perfected, fhe additional teglslation har been abtalned, and 230 mies of the road are well-nigh compléted, and the whols lne will be hed forward rapldiy. of circurnatances | am again able to control an In- tereat, and If you desire it you can have ft. The whole rond s divided Into twenty-four whares, of which JAY Cooke & Co. have twelve. Tho Inter- cat I apeak of {8 1§ of 1.24, or 1.102 of the entire franchise, being that portionof the eighty-onc milllons of stock that aro being divided as the rond f= buflt, and a |lke proportivn of the Land Com- vany stock, that is formed to take and dispose of the 52,000,000 acres of land coverea by their grant wa umended by the law of last sesslon, "The amount of-atock which this 1-102 wonld have in the end would be about §425,000, and the number of acres of land {t represents ia nearly 275,000, The road {s hielng bullton the 7-U0 bonds, 825,000 to the mile, which Jay Cooxt takes at 00, Instead «of mortgaging the land, they make a stock compa- ny for 1ty ownership, dividing It prorata amang the holders of the franchize. Tho whole thing can by hud for $26,000, wAich izlesa than one-third of what some other sales of small {nteres(s huce gone at. 1do not supposo you would care to Invost the Wiiole §25,000. " 1 thought for n emall iyer eight or ton of you In Boston might take It, $2,600 each; for €2.500 thus invested you would get ultimately §42,000 stock and the avails of some 27,000 acres of land. Flve of you at 35,000 eath would havea eplendid thing of It. ~ The chance s G very rare one, Tecan't touch ft; but I obey my frst and best fm- in offering it to you. All such chances an s since Jay Cooxs got the road have buen accom- panled with the oblization to take 4 large amonnt of the honda at 90, aud hold them not lcsa than threo years.

Yours tiuly, J. G Buamwe, 'This stock will be far more valunble, af the worat, Illum ll\{u Union Pacitic, and scu whure that would enve it A careful rending of this lotter will con- vince any intelligent person, we think, of the following circumstances: (1) That Mr, Bramne was the party moving in the transno- tion, and that ho was not acting at the solicl. tation of othors; (2)that the additionnl logialntion sccured by the Northern Pacific had somo influence in enabling him to con- trol tho stock which ho had proviously failed to obtain ; (8) that he was anxious to make tho sale, since ho pressed the spocial advan- tages of the transnction—gotling nearly $500,000 of stock and 275,000 acres of land for $25,000—and apoko of this as bolng much cheapor than other small lots of stock had been gold for; (4) that he was not anxious in behalf of Mr. Fisuen, or any othor par- ticular person, sinco he suggested that five or ten could make nup o pool; (3) thot ho could not himself with proprioty assumo and retain the individuhl ownership of this stock ; and (8) that hoe wished the transaction to bo closed up without the wso of his name, ox- cept to Mr. Oaupwewy, with whom he ap- pears to havo had confldentlal arrangomants. Tt ia usoless to concesl tho fuct that the do- duction which bas been made from this state of things is, that Mr. Braive was to receive this lot of stock in considoration for the aid ho had rondered tho Northern Pasific Com- pany in securing ndditional legislation, and that ho did not daroe to take or hold it in his own name, but that ho was to recoive the procecds of ony sale mado of it. On this theory tha reason for his not completing the transaction proposed to Mr. Fisuen is as- sumed to ba bacause ko found a purchaser at a better price, or becauso some other arrange. ment was made with Jar Coonx & Co. We slato this na a very general impression, but do not subscribe to it, but admit that it is not wholly repugnant to the termas of the letter we print above. The additional legistation reforrod to cousisted of the pasunge of a res. olution by Congress granting the Northern Pacifio soveral millions of ‘acres of public lands in addition to tho 47,000,000 which had been previously: granted, aud suthor- izing the Company to mortgago its lands and franchiscs, and issue its bonds in advance of the construction of tho rond. This roso- lution encountered strong opposition, and there was a special effort made, but in vain, to fix a maximun prico ou the lands for ac. tual sottlers. 'The wholo moasure was pass. ed finally, and it does not appoar that BMr. Bramvg st any time made tho slighmat op- position to it ; on thocontrary, it is wsorted that hoe goyg it the benefiy of hly inBuence, without which { could uot have been peased. pus Hy a strange recolutlon uf JUNE 6, 1876. A short time aftor ho wrote the laottor to Fisurn quoted above, offering a part of the stock for sale, nnd pointhd out tho advan- tages of this additional legislation. The most fuvorable construction that ean be put upon this mntter leaves Mr. BrAng in the unfortunate position of & brokor, offering certnin railrond stocks for sale whoso valuo bad been just proviously enhanced by nationa! logislation which ho “had favored whilo Spenker of the Houso of Reprosonta. tives. This construction is also effectod to Brane's disndvantago by his failare to speci- fy who wna to receive the bonefit of the proposed role, and how he camo to he solected ns agent; aud his injunction to, keop his name secrat as having buon con- nected with the transnction seems to indi- eato an approhension on his part that ho wns not noting as ho ought to aet in hia public position, This transaction along with some- what similar traunsnctions in Littlo Rock & Fort Smith Railway bonds, though hs has nat yet been connected with the Tox Scorr $61,000 Little Rock bond transaction, un. doubtedly gives the enomies of the Republie- an party good olectioncering gronnds for holding him up to ths country in the atti- tudoof a Congressional atock-broker, dabbling in the sccurrities of railways which had come, and wero atill coming, beforo Congress for favorable legislation. It requires lit- tlo argumont to show that the peoplo do not want to indorso theae Congres- sional practices by electing a man auspected of them to tho highest ofico in tho nation. Mr. Brame's nomination under theso circumstances would be n virtual con- fession on tho part of the Republican party either (1) that it has no available candidate who hns not been engaged iu similar trans- netions, or (2) that it npproves of such con- duct on the part of the men it sends to Congress. Wo do not bellove that the Re- publican party can afford to acknowledgo oither one or tho other, and wo know both to bo untruo. Tho Whisky-Thieves' Organ lod off, and was followed by a lot of mnchina concerns, with the lying nssortion that Mutvnioan was actuated by a religious matico ngainst Brave to swenr to untruths, and to exposo his pri- vate correspondenco with Fisuen. It was alleged that Murrican was o rabid Catholto, working in tho intorests of tho Jesuits, and thercfore hated Brame, and sought to de. stroy him ; butif ha woero a Catholic, why should he have any moro hatred of Braive than of Coxrrivg, MontoN, Bristow, or Haves, ns they aro all firm Protestants? Tho machine orgaus which mako the charge sgainst MurLiaax lavo not explainod this point, Butit turns out that Murnican is a Preshyterian instead of a Catholic, nnd hins boen one over since his boyhood. Heneo ho con feel no religious or fanatieal prejudice against Bramne, and so that chargo falls to tho ground, Thore is, however, the unex- plained matter covered only by implication which needs a little light. Mr. Brains was born aud raised a Roman Catholic. 1lis parents were Irish Oatholics and decent people; his brothors and sisters are Catholics now. His excellent and aminble wife is one, and tho children are being raised in that faith, Mr, J, G. Brane alono of the whole family connaction is not an adheront of the “Mother Church,” But ho belongs to no Christian denomination; and whilo not n Catholio can hardly be called n Protestant. What faith he may finally dio in canuot bo predicted oxcopt by analogy, and a consider- ation of the depth and strongth of & mothor's roligious inculestion or a child's mind and heart, The render’will now understand what the Whisky.Thieves' Organ was hinting ot when it said: MusLioan's motive for asaalling BLAINE can at present be only conjecture. 1o ls s most bigoted Roman Catholic, and has been known more than onceto express hls disapprobation of Brane's coures on religlous queations, and particularly on tlie school question, with a great deal of bitter- ness. It muy bo that he takes this method of man- ifeating his zenl In tho cause of his Church, ‘The iden sought to be conveyed without oponly snying #0 was, that Brame was an apostate from the Catholic Church, and therefore Murrraan hatbd him with a bigot's rancor; but as Murriaan happens tobos good deal better Protestant than Mr, BLane over claimed to be, tho charge of religious snimosity falls to the ground, and some other falsehood must bo invented to account for MurriaaN's testimony. Now that Mr, Braive has so far yiclded to public opinion as to cause Fisurn's lotters— the letters which he took from MurrigaN— to ba read in tho House, one of the compli- cations in his case is luckily disposed of and out of the way, The production of theso lotters hnas sorved to satisfy public cu- rlosity, and to allny o suspicion freely uttered that they contained new evidence of his improper connecotion with raflrond stocle oporations. 'The only letter bearing materially on the casu under investigation hod beon proviously described by the wit- ness Murtioan. ‘Tho rosult of this new step on Mr. Buane’s part will naturally bo to strongthen him in the minds of those who suspeoted that the concealed lottors contained damaging confessions, and who would al- ways havo suspected this it tho letters thom- solvos had not been produced. It is rather surprising, now that they aro’published, that Mr, Drane should hove thus volunta- rily subjocted himself to unnecessary suspi- cion, It may be, however, thut he counted upon tho dvantage of a reaction in public sentiment. Bo far as this {s concorned, tho fina! judgmont of the people will rest upon the final results of the inveatigation, and it will bo favorablo or unfavorable as Mr, ‘Brame is shown to havo beon engaged while Bpeaker of tho Houeo in dabbling in stocks and bonds of railronds coming beforo tho Houso for favorable legialation, orashe is ehown to haveboen froo from this pernicious practica. Of tho prospocts of tho issuo, from the evidence now at hand, we have com- mented in another article. As on illustration of the tortuons and moandoring routes by which Courts some- timos ‘renck judicial decisions, the opinions of the five Circult Judges on the Mayor's case furnishes o strong instance : 1. Judges MoArnistes, Farwzrr, and Boorn hold that therc was a vacancy creatod in the office of Mayor, by tho adoption of tho charter of 1872, in April, 1875, and Judges WirLiams and Rooxas hold that there was no such vacancy, and that CoLvi's term waa oxtended to 1877, 2, Judge McAvrisTex holds that, thore be- ing a failure of notice, eto., thero was no legal election for Mayor in April, 1876, and cousequently Hornx was not olected; Judges Wiuus and Rooens holding that thero was no vacancy in the .ol!lu. conourred in tho judgment that Iloysk had not been olected, while Judges Boota and Farwrrn held such election to bo valid. Thq only one of the five Judges whoso opinion on tho two points {uvolved is ex- pressed by the judgment of the Court is Jndge MoArviaTen, who practically decides the wholn caso, using hia divided brothren to overrulo ench othor when thoy difforod from him, OBITUARY, GEN, U, F.

In her paluful fliness she was patient,—suffering more for those around her than vn her own se- count. A few weels ago her babe perished, and was lald away in Graceland, and yesterday the mother was entombed with the babe.
