CHAPIN & GORE, 78 and 75 Monroe-st. THE CHICAGO TRIBU CAMPAIGN (hicago Tribume The Presidential Campaign is now opcned, each party having placed its ticket In the field. It will bean exciting and desperate struggle. 1f the Gov- erment passee into the hands of the Democrats and Confederates, it will put back the wheels of progress for many years. Reaction will be inau- gunted: the colored people wi be, practically, reduced to bondage; and cithert he National Debt will be repudiated, or hundreds of millions of Rebel claims for Rebellion losses will be saddled on Northern tax-payers, on the plea of **domng justice to onr Sonthern brethren! ™ The Democratic-Confederate alliance is the same Incharzcter and eplrit as wher the one wing re- solved that the War for the Union was a **failure, " 1nd the other wing tried desperately to make it a failure. They are now a harbor of refnge for sec- tional animosities and pro-slavery sentiments. With all their promises and pretensions they bave proven utter failures in dealing with ques- tions of Taxation, Tariff, Revenuc, Currency, or Reform. Prudence admonishes that **the destinies of the country in peace should be confided to those who saved it in war.” Nothing will do more to arouse the pablicto their danger, and avert the calamity of Copper- head and Confederate ascendency in the govern- . meat of the nation, than a wide diffusion of THE Caicaco TRnUNE among the people of the West. All the best speeches of the great Iepublican or- ators will be published. ANl the important docaments and facts will be wpread before its readers. Al useful political information will be givea to the people. The Opposition party will be kept on the de- fenaive, and the campaign be made warm and live- I for them. CAMPAIGN TERMS.

Hounse Predicted for Tues- . day Next. Some of the Means Being Used to Effect Avery’s . Release. The Iatter. officer tock ihe case procuring the evidence, was not inclined - te recommend the pardon, although he dia in. dicate that, in view 'of Avery's state of health, he wonld willingly recommend that he be transferred from incarceration in the Penitentiary at Jefferson City to the Four Conrts in St. Lonis, the common jail, where heconld receive bette treatment, have no manual labor to perform, and have additional comforts. Thisdid not seem ta satiefy Avery's friends, and it iseallezed that, b coming resiive under what was deemed Judge Taft's " disinclination to grant the pardon en Wodneeday Just, they abandoned farther. effor with him. and again appealed to the President direct. The rumor is that the President made short work of it umpon the second call after the circumstances attending their labors with Judge Taft had been detailed to him; that ha ordered the pardon to issue; that it is now certified ta, and a copy on file in the State Department, and that Mr. Taft. knows nothing about it. There is aleo an addizional rumor that, while Attorney- General Taft had the case under consideration, the President rather pointedly indicated to him that ho wonld be pleased if he gave the application his recommendation; that Taft, while anxious to ac- commodate Gen. Grant, was restrained to soma extent by Gov. Hayes, whose frienda thought 1t bad policy to grant the pardon In the face of a Dational canvass. There is good authority for the statement that Talt has stated that if pardon was isened it wonld cost the Republican party 100,000 votes. It i also stated that Mrs. Avery loft Wash- inggton night before last for Jefferson City, bearing the cheering assurance to her husband that the par- don was forthcoming.

C., July 22.—Soft Demo- crats are looking to next Tuesday with hope. They think that the difficulty in obtaining a re- port from the Banking and Currency Com- mittee in favor of repealing the resumption clause is at an end. They claim that Scott Wike, of Tllinofs, has intimated that he is now willing togo as far asthat. If this claim is true, the following will be the status of affairs in that Committce: The Banking and Cur- rency Committee, comprising cleven members when all are present, has been from the beginning of the session divided into five hard-moncy men, made up of the four Re- | writien fo “Avery” by n erelofors promi- . e nent oficer of the Government. 1t 1y said publican members .and Mr. Wike, and | B ReeF O tho, | acquits him of any five soft-moncy Democrats, made up of all the rest of the Committee, except Mr. Randall Gib- son, whose duties in connection with the Com- knowledge of the fraude, but fatens the zuilt atill a!mfier upon prominent persons heretofore sus- pected. The story goes that Judge Taft promised to recommend . the pardon if the letter was given mittee investigating the Custom-House abuses | publicity, inssmuch ..as it explains some- at New Orleans have kept him away from Wash- | thing not yet made public, but Avery's friends rofused to -listen- to this om ac- ington and from the scssion of the Committee most of thatime. From week to week the ten other members have met and conferred, but without athergesult than to find tney were ™ - EVENLY DIVIDED, five for and five against repeal. Wnen Mr. Gib- son got back, a few wecks ago, he soon put him- selfon the record as in favor of hard money, and the soft-money men were about to give up all hope of doing anything in furtherance of their policy, when Mr. Wike, under the pressure of a powerful force brought to bear on from his con- stituency in IHiddls, yiflded his Lard-money opinions so far as to consent, if called upon, to vote for repeal to the extent indicated above.

C., July .20.—The joink resolutinn for the protection of the Texas fron~ tier was passed by the House to-day, after tha second section—authorizing United States troops when in full pursuit of Mexican marauders to cross the border and punish them in their own country—had been stricken out. The resolution as it passed provides for the maintenanceof twa regiments ‘of cavalry of 1,200 men each on the Texas frontier, beside sufficient infantry to garrison the milifary posts along the Rio Grande. Should the Senate agree to this reso- Iution the military force on the Mexican border. of Texas will be considerably increased; an® raiding on Texas cattle ranches will be propor~ tionately more dangerous. At the same tlme, on account of the peculiar character of the country and great extent, even the force thus provided for will be unable to entirely prevent the raids. sBoth the United States troops and those of the State of Texas have repeatedly pursued the Mex- fcan . thieves to the arrived just in time to sce them driving their cattle out of the water on the opposite side.

The change furthermore enables the advocates of repeal to get the question fairly before the House, because under a modification of the rules made 2 month or o gince the privilege +was granted the Banking and Currency Com- mittee of reporting at any ‘time. Heretofore all resolutions in” favor of repen]in% the Re- sumption act or any part of it had either to go to the faot of the calendar, there to ge shelved forever, or be brought u? for considera- tion by o suspension of the rules. This suspension required a two-thirds vote, a vote the resolution never succceded in get ting, and never could get with the present complexion of the House. But, with Mr. Wike gone over to the repeal side, the Committee may at their next meeting agree to report in favor ot striking out the date for rcsumguon, and Mr. Cox, the Chairman, will report forth- with to the House at the very first opportunity, whereupon a majority vote, which the soft- money men have always shown themselves pos- sessed of in cvery contest on the floor of the House, will DEMAND THOE PREVIOUS QUESTION, and bring the matter to a conclusion.
