Yosterday was a very uufavornble day for tho St. Louis ticket, There was altogether too E much of Mr, Hexprions’ reconstruction rec- i ord, nnd the recent politieal history of sovor- a1 Southern States was made ndoal too prom- ment to win Northern voters to the Confed- #rate cause, The harrowing details of a most melan- choly trugody, which occurred in this city yesterdny, will bo found in our columns this morning. 'The peculinr circumstances which preceded and led up to the fatal event, nud the prominent position of the parties ecngaged, combine to mnke the tragedy one of the most remarka- ble in the history of Chicago. At the present writing, when the accounts of tho killing of Mr. Havronp nro varlous and conflicting, somment would be out of place pending the legal inquiry which will follow forthwith, An intercsting budget of Indian nows comes by way of Bismarck, D.'T. The ox- act location of the hostile Indions, now enti- mated nt 8,000, is a matter of some uncer- tainty, though Gens."Cnoox and Trary are of the opimon that tho main body of Sir- i a1va BuLy's forces is still near the gource of the Little Big Ilorn, It is ovident that ) no attack will bo mnde until a junction is effected botween Cnoor and Tenny, both of i whom nre meeting with difticultios on thoir o march by reason of thescarcity of forage, the Indinns having burned tho grass ovor a large extont of country. = .

Moderate Democrats y like Senntor Bavanp and Mr, MonnisoN are . gottingintensely disgnstod with tho business, " aud allusions not altogother complimentary to Ravpart'n manipuintion of the Housoe half of tho appropristion dend-locks are be. comirg daily more numerous and emphntic. Tho very excellent suggestion is made by Mayor Tears to the Common Counell, that, +in order to make n genoral and uniform ro- duction of salaries among the city officors and omployes, it would o well to pass a resolution making a proportionato reduction in the sularies not nficcted by the reccnt ordinnuce, conditioned, of course, upon the consent and co-oporation of those officers whose pay would bo voduced by tho resolu. tion. Tho Muyor is confldent that every ofi. cer will submit to this reduction as o matter of justico and fairnoss, os well as for the snke of wffecting a further saving in tho municipal oxpenditures. As the case now stauds, the catting down of salarios hins only extended to the subordinate ofticors and ap- H pointees, leaving untouched many who could - not be reached by ordinanco, and who, in complying with tho suggestion of Mayor Heani, will voluntarily consent to do their share toward carrying out the goneral policy of cconomny and retrenchment. Senntor Epsusps, in his speech yestordny wpon Mr, Monron's resoluticn to print 10,000 copies of the President's mnessuge nnd accompanying papers rolating to the Ifam- burg mossacre, warmly supported the mens. i ure, and with gront force contended that ¥ this and vvery other document affecting the welfare of tho peoplo was and ought to be an clectionecring document, to be spread brond- cnst for information, o touched upon the general subject of tho slanghter and intimi- dation of the colored race in the Bouth, thore- sponsibility for which he located wlhero it unquestionably belongs—upon the old slave. ocracy and thefr Northern Demacratic ellies of the stripo of Hexpnicms, who a8 o United Btates Henator voted against all the constitutional amoendments affecting tho rights of tho colored people, and 'TiLoex, who at tho Democratic Convention of 1864 was found in the ranks of the peace-at-any- prico Democracy, Senator Looax also took o prominent purt in the debat 'T'he Chicago produce markets were stendier yesterday, except wheat, and the leading cereals wero pasier, Mless pork closed Tjo per brl lower, at $18.70 for Angust aud $18.75@ 18,774 for September.

The Democrats, having given up every expeotation of canying Ohio in October, reat all their hopes upon Indinna, and will mako that State the chiof battle-ground of the Presidentinl campaign. To lose Indiana would be to abandon all hope of electing .Trzoex in November, while if Indiana can bo carried as an offsct to Ohio, tho cnso is not so bad. The withdrawal of Mr. Ontn and the subsatitution of Gen. Ilarpisox, a man of unbounded popularity in hia State, will eall out the entire Republican vote, and in nll probability insure the success of the ticket. The scorching hoat of an August sun and a tempernturs of i in the shade, togother with one of the most furious parlinnentary contests of the session, bronght about a stato of things yesterddy in the House which was literally red-hot. A scheme of despicable partisan meanness was sprung in tho shape of a proposition to so amend the rules as to permit the various fovestigating Committees to submit their reports at any time during the sesalon, the object being to afford the Cone foderate mud-sliugers a chance to dump their loads of distorted scandal on the very 1nst day of the session, to be industriously distributed through the country iu the shape of campaign literature, without any opening for minority reports or debate. Tho Speakor protem. lont all the nid that was possible through grossly unfair and unjustifiable rul. ings, and it was only by means of tho most skillful and stubborn use of parlinmentary tactics that the Republican minority wero able to frustrate the plot. They finally forced their opponents to agree that a notica of for- ty-eight hours shall be given to the minority pravious to the prosentation of majority ro- ports, HENDRICKS' ACCEPTANCE. ‘We have not proviously spoken of tho letter of Gov., Hewbnioxs nccepting the Democratic nomination, bocause thore is really nothing in tho lettor~that calls for any comment. ‘The gentleman writes s half- column of very weak twaddle, such as one might have cut from the pages of any one of 1 hundred local newspapers in Indiana. Tho letter is purely formal,—sentonces mean. ing anything or nothing thrown together to fill up the requirement which custom de mands of a candidate. Hoe carefully tells the Comumittee that he nccopts the nomination, aud pledges himsolf to abide by the result of the clection. Huviug got this off his mind, he says that he would not have nc- copted the nomination hnd he not heartily indorsed tho platform, and thereforo he pro- ceeds unequivocally to doclare that he ngrees “in the principles, approves the policies, and sympathizes with the purposes” of tha 8t. Louis platform. That platform menns Liard money and specie payments; thereforo Hexonicks menus hard moncy and specie payments, Ithag been but a fow woeks since Mr. Hexpricrs took position on another plat- form,—one written by himself for his own candidney,—nand that was the platform of the Democratio Convention of the State of In- diana, which sent delegates to SBt. Louis to hnve Mr. IleNpurcks nominated for the Presidency. 'That platform was not for hinrd money and specie payments ; it was not for n molallio standard of values; it was for paper money of the most irredeomnble cliar- acter, to bo issued to the most illimitable ex- tent. That platform was intended to bo the opposite of Tipey's, It prosonted Hexn- pricrs and rags, sgoinat. TiepeN and hard monoy. Wo huve looked throwgh Mr, Hes- pricks' letter in vain for an exposition of his platform of May., Ho ignores it. Bought with tho nomination for Vieo-Prosidont, ho repudintes his own ropudiation, and swallows Trnes snd gold with remarkable facility Sopnrated from the purty and policy of rag- money, Hexoricks hus no standing, On n hard-money platform he ig as much at home o8 ho would bo ot a festival of Union sol- diers. Now, let us sco what MMr., Henonicka lLins given up, Hiy own Indinna platform on which ho wont to St. Louis asked his nomi- untfon for tho Présidency becauso of his well-known hostility to specie paymenta aud Lis advoency of rag monoy. 1. In the Indinnnpolis platform Mr, Hex. onicks domanded the immediato and uncou- ditional withdrawal of the circulation of tho Nationn! Danks,~~those iustitutions which, according to the Western Domocraoy, aropaid 000,000 anunually in gold for furnishing buukenotes, ¢ 2. In the Henonicks platform theso 350, 000,000 of Nationa! Bank notes wero to bo repliced by an additionnl issue of green. back legnl-tender notes. 4, That this whole volumo of 2800,000,- 000 of legal-teuder paper should bo forever frredeomablo, except in au interconvertible bond bearing 3.65 por cent interest,—the in- terest aud principal of the bond puyablo in tho legal-tonder papor, 4, 'I'hat these notes sliould bo Iwsued in such auounts as moy be demanded by the wants of legitimnto trade, and bo part of o monctary systom based upon the faith and resources of the nation! Anothor fouturs for whivoh the Hunpuicxs platforms in In. dinna Lave been distinguishied for soveral years is, that the greenbacks should bo ap- plied to tho payment of the principal of all that portion of the publio debt whers pay- ment in coin is not stipulated in the bond, 'This was Mr, Henoriens' platform, and it was this which gavo him a political stunding with certain clusses of Democrats, aud ou which Lo rested all his hopes for the Presidenoy. Boaring thia platform, his namo was present- ed to the 5t, Louis Convention by that Prince of Repudistors, thoe rag-baby chaapion, Day Voonugrs, wheling volo, disenrded Hexpnicks and his anti - bauk - inflation - 8,65-bond and yepu- diationplatform, Thoy thon offered him the nomination for Vice-Prosident if ho would repudinte his own platform; de. claro himsel! for hard oney spe. clo poyments, no inflation, no more rug monoy, no interferonco with the banks or bunk-note eirculation, denonuce the Breu ALLeN peoplo, kick the greenback party overbonrd, and shout for **‘Pieuen The Convention, by an over- | and Roform.,” Ho nceopled tho bribo. If he conld not have the nominntion for Presi- dent with a rag.baby platform, ho would ac- cept o nomination for Vice-President on the the hard-money platform, In Lis lotter he ignores his own past rocord ; ho desorts the frionds who have supported him, nnd tho only persons who havo over supported him; has gone over to the * bullionista” nnd the “bank cashiers”; has sold himself to tho 'plutocracy,” and left tho Greonback party weoping for its favorite son! There has not beon a Democratio platform adopted in Indinnn for many years, nor by any of the political friends of HeNDRIOKS, which hins not denounced the * payment of $20,000,000 snnually to the National Banks,” nand which has not demanded that **this monoy Do saved"” by the issue of grecnbacks in place of the bank notes, Mr. Ilexpricks, however, repudiates this favorite policy of tha only political friends ho ever had, and hopos that they will follow him in the support of Tit. pex and hard money, Titpen and specie pay- ments, In all his letter ha bas never a word of remembrance’ to the friends and the policies with which his name hns alone been identified, and to which he owes the only. political standing ho hns enjoyed, Itis truo that ho says a word In favor of the ropeal of tho Resumption act; but he had already disconnted this by his letter to tho Indiana momber of Congrers, asking that repenl on the ground that *it wonld eloct tho Btato ticket and oarry the Indinuapolis district.” That was, in his estimation, a crowning renson for repealing the pledge of tho national faith. . Wo Ieave Mr, HeNnrioxs to the care of lis cheated, swindled friends, the Greenbackers, whom he hns betrayed nnd sold out, but who will nevertheless take their vongeance at tha polls. STATE INSPECTION OF GRAIN. We publish in our commoreinl columns a vigorous protest against tho State inspection of grain in this city. Tho writer is ono of the hioaviest of our grain shippers; and it is underatood that substantially the samecourse will be adopted by others. Ho gives notice to the Chief Inspoctor that hereaftor ho (the shippor) intends to perform his own inspec- tion, and will not bo responsible, or pay for, any such sorvico. by the State ofticers, unless whon specifically ordering the same. This movement is made by shippers of grain from this city who claim that thoy are not fairly used by the men who inspect their grain under Stato authority, Many of the grain rocoivers also profess to ba very mnch dissatisficd with tho State inspeotion; nnd both classes of operators grow -more discon. tented ns time wears on. The fooling is gnining ground that the Stato system is in. jurious to tho best intercsts of tho city, as well as to particular individuals, and that it ought to be abolished. The question of damage, and the eoxtont of guch damage, in any partienlar enso, is, of conrse, a subject for argument; and n groat donl may often be said on both sides. But there is a broad view of the whole mat- ter which s not open to any other than fecblo objection. 'T'lat view is based upon a recognition of the undoubtod right of every man to control bis own property, and tho absence of auy constitutional power on the part of a State to inspoct such property for other thin sanitary purposes, . The State of Illinois hns nssumed not only to inspect tho grain which pnsses through Chicago, but to sit in judgment upon it in such a way a8 to largoly detormine the prico at whicli that grain shall bo sold. It de- clares, through its appointed officers, that o parcel of whont shall bo classed or graded as rejeeted when in the opinion of its owner it is good enough for No. 8, which sells at 17 conts per bushel more than ro- jected. In like manner it declares that a given parcel of corn is No, 2, when in tho opimon of the buyor that corn is mno bettor than rejected, And these decisions ore mnde not only on the property of the citizens of this State, but on grain owned by parties in Min- nesots, in Massnchusetts, in New York, England, or France. It is true that the State Governmont has provided for an ap- peal from the declsion of its immediate sorv- nnts; but this vory plan for appeal is open to the samo radical objection—that the State lins no business to intorfora in tho matter, oxcept whon itsolf appealed {o by either the buyer or tho soller of the property ngainst attempted wrong by the other party. Any- thing boyoud this is a species of paternal in- torferouco which a less onlightened people would characterizo as despotisin, Thore is no reason to doubt that the own- ory of the grain that passea through this city have the coustitutional right to iguore tho Stato inspeetion of their property ither into stora or out of store, if thoy so cloct ; and that, too, either ns individuals or in unisou, If tho trado choosa to submit to the grading of grain by the State, tho sys- tem will probably bo continued; but tho yiclding of a thousnnd to the ruling does not abolish the right of an individual, what- over tho advocatos of paternalism in the government of sano men may say to the contrary. CIVIL'SERV'IOE usg&«-num AND TIL. Tho Republican National Convention adopted an emphatio resolution upon tho subject of & goneral reform of the civil ser- vico, and ospecinlly condemnod the policy that has becomos almost tho law of having the whole appolotiog power oxercisod by Senators and Itepresentatives ‘in Congross, Gon, Haxes, in his letter accopting the nom- ination, reiterated this condemuation of the great ovil which has grown up in tho Gov- ermnont, and in his lotter further expressed himsolf ‘Plie uld rale, tho true rule, that honeaty, capacl- ty, nnd ddellty constitute the vnly real qualideas tiuna for otticw, and thal thore fs o other clum, ave place to the fden that purly services wore to he chivly considered. “Thls systein destroys the Inde- pendenco of the separate dopartments of the Gove ernment, ** It tends directly ta uxteavagunco and oftictul fucapacity,” * 1t Ix a templation t dishon- cuty, 0 hin nd finpairs thut earefu) nupesvis- o un etrict neconutability by whick alone fujth- ful uud eflicient public wervico'can be secured. 1t obrtructs the prompt removal sud sure punlshment of the nnworthy, ~ Inevery way it degrades tha «lvil seevice und the character of the Government, It uughit to be abulished. “Tha yelurnt should bo thoruigh, rudical, und completes we shunld roturn to the prineiples and pructice of the fuunders of tha Government, suppiyiag by legislation, whn nueded, that which was fortierly establlshed by custom they neltier expected nar deelred from the pablic atllcer any partienn wervicos they meant that Lubile aiticers shunlid owe t) whola “service to the oy croment uni to the people; they meant that the otlicer ehould be eseuro lin bix tondro as long as his personal churacter remalned untarntshed and the iu:rlurumxcunrnlndnucnuuunuwr. 1t elected, shall conduct the Administration of the Goyern: ent upos theso principles, aud all conatitutional powers vested in the Executive will be employed Lo eatubllnt this refurm.

What has Mr. Troex to say on this point? ,Ilo denounces corruption of the the civil serviee during Republican rnle, ignoring tho fact that the system was cor- rupted moro than forty yoars ago, and was first porverted by the Domoeratic party from its original constitutionnl establishment. Mr. Trupexn, howover, despairs of the possl. bility of reform, saying: While much might bo accomplished by thers methads, 1t might enconrago delusive oxectations If 1 withheld liora tho expreasion of my conviction that no reform of the civil scrvice in this country will be complete and permancnt until ita Chif Maglatrate s constitutionally disqualied for u- The President ean do nothing in the way of amending the Constitution, nnd thore Ya no likelihood that members of Congross will evor voluntarily make tho Prosidont indo- poudent in office, and thus deprive them. solves of the appointing power. Mr, TiLoex i not the man Yo sacrifico his own hopes nud ambition by personally disqualifying bhim. solf for re-clection, and then as au inde. pendent and fonrloss Excoutive working the reform ton successful accotplishment, That would bo brave, patriotic, nnd self-sacrific- ing, but that would not bo Mr, Trzory, Ho gives notice thon that thero moed be no “ dolusive oxpectations” of any reform of tha civil sorvico under his adwministration, nor until the Constitution is amended, and that amendmont he knows cannot be made, oxcept by a moral rovolution, during his life- timo. The most Mr, TLDEN can do or prom. iso is set forth in tho following: The first atep in reform la the elevatlon of the standard by which the appolnting Juxer sulecta agents to exccuto ofilelal truste, - Next In impor- tanco 18 n conscientions fuelity In the cxercive of the nuthorlty to hold to account and dllplucu un- trustworthy or incapublo subordinates. The pab- Hc Interest in an honest, skilful performance of otticial trust must not be sucrificed to the usufruct of the incumbénta, After these fmmediate stops, which will insure the exbibition of beiter exam- ples, wo ma, \\'luly‘im on to the abolltion of un- necessary offices, and, flnally, to the patient, care- ful urganization of a better civil-servica system, under the tests, wherover practicable, of proved competency and fidelity. He proposes to begin the reform of the civil service by a genornl dismissal of all the men appointed to offico by the Republican party. This he will do with * conscientions fidelity.” Tinving thus elevated tho stand- ard of solection, he will proceed to root out all incompetont aud unfaithfal persons, Ilow is ho to do this? o admits ko cannot disregard the Congressional cluim to the appointing power; ho admits it is vain to expect that that abuse can rectify itself, How, then, is he to reform the sorvice when ho is doprived of the appointing power, and at the same time depondent on tho will of Congress to carry on the sorvico? Literally, hig reform must bogin and end by the whole- salo dismissal of Ropublicans, and the ap- pointment, through mombers of Con- gress, of Democrats in their places. Mr. TipEN rofors to his great la- bors as n Reformer in the State of Now York. That reform is a miscrabla sham. ;A8 Exacutivo of Now York, ho hay omployed the criminal and civil process of the Courts, the power to remove and appoint, tho power to approvo or reject lnws, the power to make or withhold payments from the Trensury, and all other powers, to compel men to servo him personally in his candidacy for the Presi- doncy. ‘Ihat is allhe hns accomplishod, that is all he intendod to accomplish, by his * Re- form " in tho State Government. Support of his candidacy is reform ; opposition to him is dishonesty. Comparoe these two expressions of opinion and purposo by the two candidates for the Preaidoncy, and who can doubt that the man who looks for reform cau nalone expect it through tho clection of Gon. Haves ? MR, HENDRICXS ON CIVIL-SERVICE RE- FORM, Porhaps tho coolest political uttoranco of the dog-days may ho found in the following oxtract from 3lr, Ilexvricxs' lettor of necopt- ance : In the reform of our elyll xerviee, T moat henrtl- 1y Indorse that eoction of tho platform which du- clares that the civil service onght not to bo ** sub- Ject Lo change at avery clection, ™ and that it ought not to b made **the “brief roward of party zeul, but ulx%llt 10 be awarded for proved competency and held for fidelity In the public employ.* I hope never ngaln 1o w¥eo the ernel and remorscless pro- scription for polltical n‘)lnhml which haa disgraced the Administration of the tnst ulght yewis. Buch a sontiment would be incongruous enough coming from tho lips of any Demo- eratio politiclan, but, coming ns it does from an Indiana Domocrat, aud, of all Indisns Democrats, from Henpnicks himsclf, it is utterly prepostotous, if not actually intended as o joka, Probably the Indiann Democrats nro the flercest partisans and the most por- slstent spoils-hunters in the entiro land, and Texpnioxs has for years been thoir apostle, their spokesman, aud their main hope. If the” Demoeratio party, aud especinlly that portion of it which finds n local habitation in Indiana, thought for a single moment that Hexonicks meant what ho says in the extract nbove, nud will uso his influence in that direction if electod, thoy would mno more support or voto for him than they would cut off thoir dear right hands, Nay, it the Indinnn Democrats did not feel nssured that TeNonicks hag already o pledgo from I'izoeN of o largo share of the public patroungo to be divided among his Indians Lrathron, thoy would not 1ift a finger to carry the State, Anybody who is at all famillar with the charncter, traditions, and purposen of the Indiaua Democrats will concur fully in this statoment of the case, Examining Mr, Hexburcrs' assortion on its nerits, wo would like to ask him who it was inaugnrated the ‘‘remorseless proscription for political opinions” which ho now hypo. critically laments, Did not JacksoN Invent and promulgate the political motto of the Domocratic party, ** "o the victors belong the spoils”? Ho in universnlly rocognizod as the paront aud sponsor of the **spoils system,” aud the Domacrats muintained it stondfustly a4 long a3 thoy wero in power, During eight years of Jacksos's Administration, during four years of Van Buues, during nearly four yonrs of JouN Tyviun, during four years of Powg, during four years of Dinor, and four years of IucHANAN,—iwenty. vight years in oll,—how many Whigs or Republicans were appointed to tho Foderal ofices? Wo challonge Mr, Mexonicus to name twenty.cight iustances, or ono a year for all that timo, among all the Federal ap. poiutments, Wo have nover heard of o sin- glo easo in which o Democratio Administra- tion appointed a political oppouent to ofiico, Was this *eruel and romorscloss proseription for political opinions,” or was it not ? "Take the State and local Governments in this country which ure uow uuder the cou. trol of the Democratic party, and how many Ropublicans are holding offices over which Demb.crmo Governors, Legislatuves, May- ory, or Qommon Councils, have the power of appointment and removal? How many Republicans not clected by the people aro there in oftice in the fourteen Kouthern States, and tho citics theroof, which have pnssed into tho hunds of the Confoderates ¥ How many Ropublicans has tho prosent Democrntio Houso of Representatives ap- pointed to the positions at its command ? Not one—nol a single ono in all theso cases. Tho Democratio Honso wout so far, in fret, 88 to removo experianced aud capable em- ployes, onc-armed nnd one-logged soldicrs, who were wonnded while fighting for the Union, simply becauso thoy wero Ropublic- ans, and fn order to mnke vacaneles for the Confoderates, with whom their places were supplied, : How s it in Indiang, ovor the political destiniea of which Mr. Hexpaioka presides ? Has he appointed any Republioans to oftice daring the four years ho has been Governor? Wonldn't he have had s buzzing aboat his ocars if he lhad ever droamt of such a thing? Didn't the Domocrats of Indianapolis, whon thoy se- cured control of the Manlcipal Government, and under the very nose of Mr. Hrxpnriors, and probably with his approval, remove oven tho Republican policemen and fill their places with Domocrats? And dida’t Mr, Hzwortors pit quictly In the Exccutive Mansion whilo these Democratio policemen ‘were murdering negro votors? Come, come, Mr. lenonioxs; o pretonso of roforming the public sorvico is simply ludicrous when you uttorit. If tho poople of this conntry gre blind enongh to intrust the Government into your hands snd Mr, TiLpEx's, yon know very well that tho slanghter of Republican offico-holders, without nny regard to their experionco or capability, will bo more com- ploto than the masancre of Custer and his troops. There will not be even a Crow In. dion scout left to tell the tale. Tho greenback lunatica of Indianapolis have prepared o political feast which has havdly ever had an equal in tho politics of the country, The mau Laxpess is the Dom. ocratic candidate for Congress in that dis. trict, Hoisthe men who wants national ** monoy " to consist of mere picces of paper stamped ** This is one dollar,” the same once issued to bo forever thereafter monoy, and o logal-tondor redoemablo at no timoand placo, A wing of tho paper-monoy party, not con- tont with Lanpens, and thinking that ho is too sano to properly ropresont the pnrty, has nominated Jaxes Bucmavaw, also of Indianapolis, for Congross, to compote with Laxpens, It is universally concedod that Buonanay has no rival in the blank idiocy of his financial dootriue, oxcept, porhaps, Tax- pens; and it is equally admitted that Lan- peos stands without & peer, outside of an asylum, unloss it bo Bucnaxay, Theso mon nre properly nnd wisely locatod in tho same district, and are to competa for tho samo soat in Congress, The compaign is to last until tho middle of Qctober, and any one curious to soe how lunatics carry on politics hos only to go to Indisnapolis before tho clection.

We shonld think ho would have no diffioulty in gotting the signataras of all the Domocrats in Congross to hig petition for his rostoration to tho oflicoof Governwont Archi- tect,—for it would be one of tho worst thinga that could happen for the Republicnn party. Tt was this snme man Muttere who has af- forded tho Doemocratio press all its op- portunity for donouncing the extrava- gant cost of public bLuildings under Gon, Grant's Adminiatration.

It is just for thig pur. poso he wants to got back.
