Ourvzn Cro- wr11, Georar Wisamsaro, JooN HAMPDEN, and Jony Iaxcocr, the historical tax-fight- ers, wora ngain resuscitated, and the world was nssured that these venerable gontlomen of autiquity never paid a ‘tax whero the Conncil was called *Common" instend of 4City,” or whero tho tax ordinanco was not published a cortnin length of time asa ‘ no- tice.” The people wero callod upon to vin- dicato the memory of the fathers by refus- ing to pay their sewer tox nccordingly. The focts of ihe case, however, are, that tho ordinance passed the Common Council June 30, 18753 that itwas approved by the Mayor and beeawo o law the same day, and on July 2, 1875, was published in the corporation newspnper. These proceedings are all o mat. ter of official record, aceessiblo to everybody, and thevoforo the ignorance of the organ of tho £00 is inexcusablo. Intho meantime the Court bas overruled the objection as baving uo foundation in fact. s e long-oxpected letters of aceeptance have at last been given to the world. It haa taken o long timo to prepare thout, and the evidences of cxtreme caro in their propara. tion abounds most plentifully, The Troen letter equals in length tho mverage Presidentinl inaugural, snd, in addition to a statemont of views, cmbracss 50 much of argument and amplification as to suggest that the writer for the tino forgot that tho clection had not yel token place, and imagined himself proparing o mesrage to Congress, After reading the Ictter no one will be at o loss to nccount for its long delay in appearing, It took timo to pay so much and yet so littlo on tho cur. reney question—so much thot might well have been omitied in o lotter of accoptance, and 8o littlo that can bo vecognized ns tho accurate eciio of Gov. 'frpex's previous utterances, Tho necessitics of the caso have been de- ferred to in the modified expressions rogard- ing specie resumption, and it is evident that the Saratogn conforences hod thelr offect. ‘While Gov. Tiupe has not met the Western infintionists half-way, hie has at least oxcoed- od general expectation in his oxtromo puxiety to cultivato the good opinion of tho irvecon. cilables, The lotter of Gov. Henonioa s a it companion-piece of concossion and semi. surrender of principles in order to make Loth ends mect, Tho Chicago produce markets were irreg- ular yesterdsy. Provisions wore more active and stronger, while grain was in less demand oud eagler, Bloes pork closed a shade high- er, at §18.60@18.65 for August and $18.06@ 18,67} for Septomber, Lard closed 12}o per 100 1bs highor, t 211,10 cash-and $11.17} for Septemnber, Meats wore firmer, at Tio for boxed shouliders, 9o for do short ribs, and 10}c for do short cleara.

A party by the name of * Rzutox,” claim- ing to bo Socrotary of the Ropublican Ex- ecutive Committeo, has fniminated o screed addressed to Ropublicans and marked ‘¢ con- fidential.” Ha demnnds of those who recoive his circular tho names of doubtful Republic- ans ond lokewarm Domoerats, with the ostensible purposo of bracing thom up. 'Yhe dircetory fails to disclosa tha name or where- nbouts of Nesrcg, who likely wunites the somowhat diverse functions of writing politi- cal ciroulars and sending boxes of sawdust on recoipt of stamps, Tho Central Commit- teain Chicago repudinta him, and peoplo will poy no nttention to his circular, which is published in another column ns a warning to all and & monument to the gonius of tho fnvisiblo Reasren. e — 1t would be wrongto assume that the volun- tary retiromont of Mr. OnTi a8 tho Republic- an candidate for Governor of Indiana is a con- fossion on his part of any dishonorablo con- duct in connection with the Venczueln claims. This charge bas by no moans beon made out against him, and the mntter, which is under Congressionnl investigation, can only be fairly ndjudged when tho evidence shall have been roported. Menn- wwhile, howevér, the charge has been made, andso long ns the Democrats in Congresy choso to withhold & report, Mr. Ormt would have been forced to o dofonse nand ex- planation wherever he made n speech., Itis on this nccount that ho has acted wisely and generously in retiring in such & manner as {o roliova the Republican party in his State from thoe burdenof hisporsonal misfortunoin having been put under a suspiclon withont the opportunity of vindicating himself promptly. Ho has also withdrawn in such'n way a3 not to causo disaffeotion among his own friends in Indisnn who form o large part of the Republicans of that Btate. His pction in this matter, slong with ultimate vindication from tho charges put upon him, will place him mora lonorably beforo the peoplo than ever. Now ‘'let Bex Ilannisoy bo ealled to the front, with all the strength of on hereditary hostility to tho Democrats, and La will make a fight that will unite tho Republicans of his State, and place Indinua nlongsids of Ohio in tho October elections. i ———— THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS. T the elections of 1876 it will not be suf- ficlont for tho Ropublicans to eloct Hayes and Witezzen; the Ropublicans must seo to it that they rogain tho control of the Honse of Ropresontatives, without which the elos- tiot of n Presidont will bo a barren victory. At the election in 1874 the Demoorats gained a majority mainly by tho negloct and indif- ferenco of tho Ropublicans, ‘The present Congress is the Forty-fourth, and the nu- merical strength of parties, as compared with tho pravious Congress, clected in 1872, is os follows : Congress. Rep, Dem. Ind. Fortyothird, elected 72......... 180 112 T 0 Yorty-fourth, elected 74,010,108 108 16 ‘I'he Independents may be countod ns part of tho Democratio majority,—giving that prety o mojority of 75 in 5 House where the Repnblicans had nearly as great amajority the yearbeforo. As we havo snid, the Demo- crats got this majority through the careloss- noss of tho Ropublicans, In somoascs thero were bad men nominated by tho Iepub- lican caucuses, and the party Iet them be defented in order to get rid of them, and as a +whole the Democrats got their majority by tho pormission of the Tepublicans, Tt is not necessary that the Republican majority in tho nost Congress shnll b as large ns that of four yoars ago, A firm, united majority of 95 or80 will be moro effeative than a larger one. iT'o obtain such n majority tho next Houso should stand: Whole number, 292; Repub. licans, 161 ; Domocrats, 181, Now, can this majority bo rocovered? In 1874 tho Repub- licans lost members of Congress in districts proviously Ropublican as follows: Califor- nin, 2; Conneotiout, 1; Illipols, 7; Indiana, 4; Town, 1; Massachusetts, 5; Michigan, 3 ; Now Hampshire, 2; Now Jersoy, 4; Now York, 8; Ohio, 6; Pennsylvania, 12} Wis. consin, 1. 'T'otal in the Northorn States, 0. Leaving out of view the districts lost in Vir- ginin, North Carolina, 'fonnessce, Maryland, Alnbama, and other Bouthorn States, thero aro GG Congressional districts in the Northorn States which are now repre- sonted for {lhe first time by Domo- orats, 'Tho recovery of thoso districts wonld chinnge the whole comploxion of tho Touso of Representatives. In tho sclection of candidates for Congress particular referenco should bo hiad to the urgency of recovering theso dlstricts, How-aitin Illincis? The entive combined majority claimed by the threo Democrats who represent tho Chicago distriots docs not exceed 500 votes, These throo districts can readily bo rocovered by majorities ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 in each district, Tho Soventh and Teuth Dis- tricts, nowrepresentod by so-called Independ. ents, will without doubt elect Republicans, In tho Thirtecnth District, a Republican will displaco Mr, Stuvexsox, who, elected as an Indepondent, has ovowed limsclf a Domo- crat. In tho Heventeenth District, Mr, Mon- nisoN will have a compotitor who can hardly bo defeated; and in tho Eightoenth aud Nine. teenth Districts, which two yoars ngo wera lost by default, Republicans ought now to bo elected. 'Ihe next delegation from Illi- nois should stand fourlcen Republicans to five Domocrats, Al the Mausnchnsetts dis- tricta will Le rocovered, ns woll as those in Now Hampshire, In Ohio there ave two rensons operating iu the Republican futerest, The Domacratio party is utterly demoralized fu that State, while tho Itepublicans linve all the cuthusinsm inspired by the certainty of viotory, Not only will the loss of last yenr bo recoverad, but sovoral districts ordinarily ' Democratio will this year olect Ropublicans, Tha clection in Michigan in 1874 weas an accident, and thora is hardly n doubt that tho Btate will bo represented in the mext Congross by an unanimous Republican dele- gation. In Indiann there wero twoor throe districts which in 187¢ wora lost by bad manegoment on tho part of tho Republicans, and this yoar, upou o full vote, these mix- takes will ba rectificd. Tho Htate of Ponnsyl: vanin will give Haves and Wareren possibly 40,000 mojority, aud this majority ought to bo sufficiont to carry ovory district in the Stato which was lostin 1874, Notwithstaud- ing tho fact that Witvexn expects to carry Now York, and by a large mujority, theve is no question that soveral Congressional dis. tricts, alwnys Republican, but lost in 1874 because of tho small vote, will this year clect Republican inembers. Iu fact, tho clection of President will draw out o full vote of the convantions will adopt reasonablo caro in the selection of candidates, there can bo no doubt that Haves and Wazpren will onter their oflices supported by nlarge mnjority of the ‘Houso of Representatives, and thus be able to control tho legisintion of the country, A falure to elect n Hepublicnn majority in the lonse of Reprosontatives would be to erip- plo tho now Administration and leavo it largely at the meroy of the Confoderatos. o ————— TILDEN'S8 OANAL RECORD. Torhaps Gov. Troex has gained a decop- tive nnd undeserved reputation ns a Roformer mninly through his supposed smashing of the Cnnnl Ring of New York State, 1o haa boen credited with this work upon tha basis of his own utterances in the meseages ho has deliv- ered from timo to time to tho Now York Logislature, The facts do not bear out his atatemonts, With nll his bonated purpose of bringing the thievos o punishmont, ho has hnd only one member of the Ring tried, and even this one hins been given an opportunity to ecscape. And so far from co-operating and using his power as Governor to save monoy to the State on the fraudulent con- tracts, ho has actunlly permitted large sums of money to bo paid fo certain parties in whom ho had some personal interest. In proof of this we print this morning a rtate- mont of facts recontly mado by the Albany Ivening Journal, which shows conclusively that TiLoEN is not so much of n Reformer but ho will permit tho misappropriation of Government funds for the bonefit of por- sonnl friends and nsefnl partisansg, Tho, statomont, to be found in another col- ulmn, shows that Gov. Titoex, in a special message denunciatory of tho caual frauds, cited certain rpecific eases whera contractors had flecced the State ont of three or fonr timos tho amount of the money which tho State biad agreed to pay them. Tho most conspicuous of theso cases was that of Wrr- 1anD JouKsoN, who was to bo paid $87,871 for-certain work, but had nctually drawn $110,820 without finishing the work. That ia to say, Jomyson had roceived morely on account boforo the completion of the work threa timos 08 much as ho onght to hive ro- ceived in all nfter turning over tho job com- plete to tho Btate. This was very properly denounced by Gov. TicpeN., But subse- quently the New York Logislaturo (Demo- cratic) passed o bill nllowing the samo Wiz~ Lanp JomysoN $55,000 more on the samo contract, for which he hind already Leen paid threo times ns much as he ought to have had. Had Gov. Twmpex'a denunciation of tho fraud been sincere and honest, of course he would have instantly vetoed the bill providing for this extra payment. In. stend of this, but afraid to assumo the re- sponsibility of signing it,” ho permitted tho bill to becomo o 1aw by allowing the requi- sita'timo to clapse without disapproving it. Ho did this at the special instance of Drros DcWorr, a porsonal friend and political crony of Tipex's, who had somo interest in the claim, by means of certain advancements of monoy to the contractor. Thia fact is sot forth in an affidavit by DeWory, mado not in any spirit of antagonism to Trpex, who had done him so signal a service, but in order to give tho cortificates for the clnim n negotia- ble value. If this transaction is n fair scm- plo of what may be expected of TiLpry ns a Reformer,—if personal friends and nseful political allies are to Lo mado an exception in all his reform schernes,—then he is not the kind of man tho American peoplo want for Presidont at this time, THE AMERICAN LAZZARONI. . The peoplo of linois up to within n fow months have been fortunate in escaping a personal knowlodge of the losses and trials incident to the * tramp nuisance.” But now reports begin to como in from various parts of tho State that this plague, worse than the loousts, is spreading into linols at n rapid rate. It hns come westward, ‘Tho Now England States long ngo discovered the ne- cessity of adopting vigorous messures to auppross tho nuisance, and very sensibly ro- sorted to the ostablishment of workhouses, whero the tramps are consigued:whenever they appear, and whero thoy get good lodg- {og and food when they work for it. Dut this is just what tho tramps do not want to do, and hience they have taken their courso westward. Ohio and Indiana have beon in- focted for a couple of yeara, and the depre- dntions of the sconndrels in certain parts of this 8tato hiave already been so grievous that the peopls nro boginning rathor freely to talkc about lynching and other summary methods of getting rid of them. : The trouble is that the tramps are not morely beggars; thoy aro an organized band of (hioves and ruflans, They have their signa and pass-words, and follow up a sys- tomntio dovastation of neighborhoods by o- division of territory, Beggivg with thom is simply a protenso; robbery is their real business. In the farming districts they not unfrequently destroy what thoy canuot steal, and the frightful increpse of rapes and out- rnges veported from different parts of tho country is entirely owing to the bratal habits of lnziness and the licenso they have culti- vated in their purauit of living upon the Inbor and substance of athers. They have grown so bold that they board raitroad trnins, and domand froo transportation whon they have exhausted ono sootion and desire rapid transit to a now flold of plunder. When they are charitably received, and given food unnd lodging, thoy abuso the con. fidence; whon they are denied, they openly threnton rovengo sud gonerally destroy niore than they demanded. 'Thus thoy have ostab- lishod o tervorism that is o coustant menace to women and children, from which hus. bauds and parents cannot protect them, Tho poople in tho farming districts of Ilinols caunot too soon adopt a vigorous policy toward theso professional tramps, The true principle fs to sot every one to work who demands gratuities. It is uscless to send them to tho poor-houses, for thoy wilt uot reminin thore; nnd, if they did, thé poor- houses would ,scon bo overcrowded by a lot of able-badiedbnt worthless and viclous men, Ttis only the larger communitics that have Wrldowells or worlthouses where they can bo coneigned. 'There §s just ono way that oc. curs to us ns likely to be effective, Hetovery township ia tho State, through its Town Bonrd, confer upon the Bupervisor, Cou- stable, and other officers tho right to forco the tramps futo work on the public highways with o balt and chain, furnishing them sub- sistenco whilo they aro so engaged; and lot tho farmers and' the publio gonerally ca.oporate with the officers in enrrging out this rulo, When the Leglsla- turo meats next winter wo have no donbt hat the necessity will be pressed apon it for adoptiug n rigorons law fgr the treatment of these seoundrels, but in tho meuntime tho peopla must help $lietsclves by o systomatio rofusal to support them in their vicious idle- ness and in an enforced system of labor. It way require a littlo additional expenditureof money oud some personal inconvenienco to peoply, and if tho Republican nomivating l\mrry out this system, but it will savou hundred-fokl what it may cost by llal:plng their depredations. Tho tramp nuisanco cannot be trifled with ; any temporizing poli- ey will develop it with the rank growth of a poisonous weed. To tho enst of us, even the cities have been infocted with thesa poripatatic thieves in beggats' rags; and if thoy bo not sum- marily dealt with in this Btate they will scon begin to infost tho citios of Tllinois. The exporlenco of a gentloman who 1lives in Now York City {s thus sot forth in ono of tho lo eal papers : Norare the tramps confined to tho Cotntry or mubiebe; they (nfest the cities ne well, Recently five of them camoe to the writer's basement-window rhilo he was at breakfaat, and asked for money ot faod. 'To thoso who asked the latter, lominy and nillk wns offered, but wan hul!mmnur refused, o8 of too copreon fexturo fur tho refinod palate of a tramp. Wo had ourselven breakfaated on it, nnd found it very gootl. Those lc!lu\vnsallun osk for clotlies ns well us food, We filtkd outn poor ragged wrolels tho othior day ~bo ging him to con- slgn his tatferdemnllon ult to the kitchen-range, This ho rofunet to do, and we understood the reanon aftorwnrds when we snw our cast-off gar. ments hanging inan **old clothes** extablishnient —whoro our objectof charity had promptly sold them, nnd donned hin rags agaln, Everybody who reads this artlclo will 5now of scorca’of almitar {nstancos, and will agree with us that the genus tramp fs a dnn;fi:mns cfement in soclety, and ought 1o bo dealt with accordingly. Now, no citizen of Chicago nced be annoy- edinthia way, 'Tho propor answer to make to overy beggar, and it can be done without danger of refusing charity where it ought to bo bostowed, is to rofer him to the Relief and Ald Society. If his caso is a worthy one, snd renlly desorving of nssistance, ho will re. celve it from that organization; if not, ho will probably bo turned over to the police. Menntime the prosacution of vagrants should o especinlly vigilant, and tho Polico-Magis- trates should render the police-officers all tho nssistance they can by moting out to the vagrants tho full measuro of tho law, e Thoro has boen no more fingrant misuso of position among all tho Confederato mem- bors of Congress than that made by Procron Kyorr, of Kentucky, of his plnco as Chair- man of the Judiciary Committeo. There has beon no moro lamentable sacrifica of good name and fair roputation than he Las made in order to indulge partisan malignity and personal spite. 'Fho dogeneracy of 8au Cox from a genial and usefnl momber of Con- gress to o move buffoon and doughfacs is not more striking than Ksorr's from the posi- tion of o high-minded gentloman of culturo to that of a spiteful pettifogger. Dut Kxorr's trifling with tho respect ho com- manded from his colleagues and the public hna brought with it a specdy pnnishment and disgraco, and we reeall .no instanco where n member of Congress so deliberately deprived himsolf of sn expression of respect that bhad beon tendored himas did Mr Knorr in his conduct in tho Houso on Thursday. The oceasion was tha presentation of a ro- port of Mr. Kxorr's own Committee, cxon- erating him from tho charge of having purposoly and maliciously supprossed the Oavpwery dispatch to Drare that denied Brame's connection with the sale of Arkan. pas railroad bonds to Tox Scorr and the Union Pacific. 'This ckargo was made in the Houso by 3r. BLaNE ot o time when ho was fighting for his own life and honor, and when ho Lad reason to belicvo that Kxorr waa witbholding from Congress and the pub- lic ovidenco that would acquit him before tho world. Mr, Kxorr disclaimed the pur- pose which Bragse had chiarged upon him, ond asked that his conduct and motives be investigated. At the solicitation of Nr. Kyorr's personnl and political friends on the Committce, the Republican mombers, with tho some generous motives that governed them in tho Krnn case, joined in a unani- mous roport exculpating Kxorr of any sinis- ter design. 'Thoy also had the rssurance of the Democratic members of tho Committee that. thera shonld boe no discussion of this re- port jn the Houso, 8o that furthor nerimony might bo avoided. L But whon the report wns presented, nnd under the protenso of o further justification of himself, Kxorr aroso aud roviewed the ontiro Bramne case, though it is now sus- pended, and condemned Mr, Brawve oponly, though the evidence is not all in, Not only that, but ho charges that Bramve has boen felgning illnoss in order to escape o pursuit of the investigation, though nll the world kuows ho was stricken down in tho street and recelved o shock from which he will probably never entiroly recover. It only noed Lo stated that Bramwe himself was ab- sent during this unwarranted attack to render KNoTT's cowardice and injustico com- plote, But he was mistaken in supposing that Brave's friends wonld pormit him to thus projudice the public mind and blacken tho character of a sick and absent . man, while they should join in o certificato of .good chinrncter for tho dofamer. He was auswered plainly by Mossrs, Hare and Foyz, ond Messrs, McOrany, Hoan, aud Lawnesce, Republican membors of the Ju- dicinry Commitieo, domanded tho rccommit~ tal of tho report, on the gronud that they hiad mistaken Knorr’s motives, and beeauso he Lind plainly shown by his speoch the very mnlico of which they had acquitted him, Mr, Kyorr's conduct was 50 glaringly un- fair that the members of his own party could not sustain him, ‘Thoy consented by a voto that tho roport should be withdrawn and re- committed; and, if the Democratic mombors of the Judiciary Committco are as fair- minded as the Ropublican members proved themselves to be in first consenting to oxon- erato Kxorr, thoy will now join theRepublic. aus in consuring him for his wvmanly con- duct and tho malicious advantage he took of his opponents' genorosity. 'This is not too much o eoxpeot of Democrats, but a wnfority report oxonerating “him will not save him from the disgeace Le las carned, Kxorr himself felt lio had lost tho sympathy and respoct of his own poople, and turned upon the Democratio sida of the Houso with the despair of a man at bay, and defied overybody. The spectaclo was n sorry one, and Mr, Kxorr will never be able to effuco thie recollection of it so far as his disgraco is concerned. —y The Fort Wayne (Ind.) Sentinel, n Demo- cratlo organ, nvoids the discussion of the finaneial troubles of thoe Democratie family, and calls attention to the ** wost brave, out. spoken, and thoroughly almirable " declara. tion of the &t.

Wo have repontedty called attention to this Ligh-sounding denuncintion of the tariff for ita injustice, falso pretenses, its frouty, amd its promotion of smuggling, perjury, and other erimes, But wo Luave ut the same time THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, ‘AUGUST 6, 1870=TEN PAGES. - oallod nftention to tho foot that tho same prety which thus denonnces tho tariff has Tind control of the Houso of Reprosonutatives, which body hins beon in scssion for eight mionths, nud, by law, that ITouse has the ex- clusive power to initiate o Tarlff bill; that (uring those cight months the party, with ita sevonty-fivo Democratle majority and thirty or forty Ropubliean votes to ald them, havo never given ono day to the considora- tion of this monstrous sburo.

Tho Demoorats in tho House havo no expoctation that it will become a law, and many of tho hard-money Demo- crats who will vote for it would mnot do 5o if thoy had any idea tho Sennto would concarin it.

As botween TrLpes and Henpnioxs, thismay be regarded ns the fivst blood ,for Horicrs, nnd it far- nishes anothor reason why Tinpey has nos yot found time to write that lotter of accopt- ance, Ila will now bo able toshnpe it in ac. cordanco with Mr, Hzxorious' views, Tho change in the Banking Committeo, which hns herotofore vefused to report the ropealing bill, was made by Mr, Ginsox, of Touistans, who hos ovidently gono over to tho other side in consideration of the sgree- ment by the sama Committeo to roport his own bill on the silver question. This bill provides for the appointment of a Commis- gion, conalsting of throo membors of the Houso, threo members of tho Benato, and throo oxperts, to investigato tho silver ques- tion and tho best means for attaining ro- sumption, nsud to report to Congress on or boforo the 15th of mext January. The re- porting of this bill foreshindows the defeat of tho Mining bill which provides for the ros- toration of the old silver dollar, which was so rashly demonetized in 1878 ; and tho net rosult will be that Congress will sdjourn without having sccomplished or suggested anything for the improvemont of the finan. clal condition of the country.
