It is at once tho confession of coward and the promoter of violence. A dispateh from our correspondent with Cnoox’s command, dated at the camp on Goora Crock, Aug. 4, and forwardad by car- rier to Fort Fotterman, convoys tho juterest- ing information of tho juncture of Gen, Mezurrr and tho Fifth Cavalry with Cnoox's division, Gen, Mernirr reached the main column on the 3d inst,, and the ontire com- . mand, numbering 2,100 fighting wmen, is now in readiness for tho agressivo movement which will bo made fmmediately in the di. rection of Tongue River.

'This brazen stonl must not bo por- mitted, and, wo beliove, will not bo. Tho city anthorities should interfero to provont it on the ground that it is in violation of the contract eutored into betwoon tho city and county; and the Citizens' Associntion should interfere to provent the consummation of the rascally scheme, The report of the Joint Committeo will probably be concurred in by the Board in pursnance of the Ring pro. gramme of addition, division, and silence, and the Courts only can be depended upon to dofeat this shameless combination of ring- sters, who have begun in tho stone contract tho exccutionof a plan which has millions in it. THE MURDER AND ITS QAUSES. The lomicide of Monday evoning was wholly unjustifisble, Legally and morally, tho killing was murder, There is nothing to extonuato the erimo; tho vietim was songht out, nssoulted, and then, under tho excite- ment of rage, the pistol was drawn, and the man was killed, Tho plea that tho shot was fired to injure, but not tokill, concedes that the firing was deliberate. Weo have no pur. pose to try this case in advanco of the Courts, nor have wa any desire to pile de- nuncistion upon the survivor. A man of cducation, with the habits and associntions of refinement, in no wise intempernte; n mnn of genial and kindly mauners and feel- ings, SurLivay in ono moment overstepped all these things, and murdored a fellow-being. In tho calm of reflection, no one will experi- ence moro keenly than he the terrible calam. ity ho has wrought, nor lamont more deeply the pain and gricf in which le has ovor- whelmod two stricken families. Tho immediate facts preceding and lead- ing up to the homicide wero n succession of intrigues, complications, and blunders. Homa woeks before leaving office, Mayor CoLviy nominated for renppointment as members of tho Board of Education Messrs, Ricitsena, Orivaen, Wince, Onzsoy, and Brurnanpr. Theso perdons are now membors of the Board, and have been for kome years. Tho nominations were not acted on until after Mr, Couvry had beon suceceded by Mayor Hears, Tho Committeo on Schools in the Council roported adversely on tho nomina- tions, which have boen laid over from timo, to time. ‘Tho Committeo gave no reasons for their ndverse report, though, among other unoflicial explauations, it has been stated that it was objected that all five persous weroe of foreign birth~—that is, Ricanena and BruTuanor, Germans; OLrsow, Scandinavi- on; Onivoen, Fronch or Belgio; and Wirce, an Buglishman, It was also understood that theso five members had, when the subject was hefore the Board, voted to oxclude the Biblo 23 a text-book. It was also clnimed that tho general tons aud charncter of tho Tonrd iad declined, and it was desirable to haove other aud better men ; and that the ob- jection was not so much aganinst these five gentlemen porsonally as it was to them nsn wholo, representing a Doard which, as n wholo, was objectionnble, Behind all this tliere was an animiated contest carried onon soveral minor lines: A year ago Mr, Iaxn- vonp, who had been Assistant Superintond- dent of Schools,waa elected to nnother place. Tho vacancy was filled by the appointment of 8 Mr, Lewis, who in turn way displaced to make room for Mr. J. D. Dory, a gentleman having an extensive roputation among edu- cotors, It was then declared, and wo assumo with truth, that this was proparatory to mak- ing Doty Superintondent in placo of Mr. J, C. Piokanp, who bns been Suporintendent of tho Chicngo schools for a nuinber of yoars, ‘Tho Principals of tlo sovernl schools, os n class, havo generally held the Board of Edu. cation in dislike. ‘Thoy hnve resented tho in- troduction of Dory; have rosented thoe pro. posoed dismissal of Proxann and tho clection of Dorr to succced Lim; have resented the action of the Board iu roduc. ing salarica; hove resentod Beveral changes in tho repulations; and, as a natural vesult, beeamo hostilo to the Baard of Education as 0 body, and strongly desirous of a radical chango in its mombors, Mr. Picxanp, who & year ago gavo notice that he would not aceept the offico this yoar, hna agnin booomo a candidate for ro-clection, Ponding this, Mr. Ricimeno, the President of the Board, has recently unearibed My, Prcxanp's reports of tho teachers' relief funds, and upon this hay been founded an finputation that the Buperintendent is o de- foultor. It was understood that tho five members of the Board whosoe nowinations were pending would vote ngainst the re-elec- tion of Pickaup, Thp membars of the City Council were on tho one hand importuned by various persons, iufluenced by various motives, to rejoct tho nominations, and by other persous, from equally varied nflu. ences, to confirm them. It was clafmed by ono clasa that Mayor Hzara should withdraw tho five nomes sent in by his predecessor and mako now nominations; but the Mayor properly insisted that the Council should confirm or roject tho nominations before thew, Ly Ou Mondny afternoon, the question of confirmation coming up, a dubate took place, and herowas committed o great blunder. Ald. Van Osver, with a groat want of dis- cretion, subwmitted a puper, not signed, which Lo asked to have read. Tho School Com- mitteo promptly disclaimed this paper, and the Chairmau ruled it out of order, but its contents wero so oxtraordinary that, once beguu, it was read to tho conclu. | THE CHICAGO "T'RIBUN sion.

Unable to resist tho goneral and excited demand forthe nome of the writer, Vax OspeL stated that it wag writton by Mr. Haxronp, Borravay, who wns accidentally at the Council-room, obtained n copy of that part of tho paper relating to his wife, wont to his Louse, and showed it to her, The result was the procurcment of a carringo, and the two, with o brothor, started, as they sny, to try and have the paper omitted from the morn- ing papers. laxronp unfortunately lived on tho samo street, only nfow blooks distant, nnd the carringe wns drivento Ilanroro's door. Soururvan demanded a rotraction ; Haxronp refused ; Svrrivay knocked himn down ; other persons interferod, and in the atrugglo the younger Surrtvan aud Mrs, Burravax, who say they intorfered for pence, wero both struck or pushed, and thereupon Surtrvan fired the fatal shot, T'his was no ordinary caseof a mon resent- ing n written criticiam upon the personal conduct of his wife, When a woman en- gages in worldly professions, and onters into sharp and direot competition with men, and to do work ordinarily performoed by men, she must expect to cncounter somo at lonst of the shocks nand collisions, the criticisins and robuffs, that men suffer and meet, Such collisions and criticisms aro port of the daily life of tho profession, aud the advocates of women's equality profess that wumen are willing to take their chances and stand their share of the rough usage incidontal to the lifo-strugglo of man, Mrs, Surrivay wasa writer, n jonrnalist, a publicist, a politician, and an active participant in educational mat- ters, As n writer sho covered tho whole ficld of literatore, and in controvorsy nover lost & point because of any hesitation, in criticising the conduct of others. Bhe hod been a teacher in Detroit, and Dotx's 8o~ lection as Assistant Superintendent, in tho expectation of succeoding Prcrarp, was largely duo to hier personal canvass in his be- Lielf among public men, and to tho influence of articles from hor pen published in the pross, Al this sho had a right to do, In all this thero was no porsonal impropricty ; but in bocoming a partisan, and an active one, she invited criticism, nnd oxposed herself to what A man would have exposed himsolf under liko ciroumstances,—no mors, but cor- tainly no loss, It was not tho case where the rotirement of domestic life was involved, and n woman drawn out and put on the defen. sive. sor, In responss, hor accuser certainly exng- gorated her influence, overcstimated her success in school matters, nnd generally magnified her importanco, Thore was noth- ing in the lotter—which na o whole was an unwiso collection of much that was unfound- She bad been in ono sense an nggres- od and should not have been writton—which gove SuLLivan any moral or legal right to go armed to Hanronp's houso to demand a rotraction, much less to warrant an assanlt, or to shoot down an unarmed and comparatively wenk man, SULLIvAN, too,was a journalist, and know that neithor he nor his wife could claim an oxemption from tho conscquences, unjust and temporarily vexations as they may have been, of nctive partisanship in publio affairs, Thoy had both bocn aggressors too ofton to mnke claim for retraction and redress by violenco. ‘I'ho homlecide, wa ropeat, was unjustifinble ; the killing was murder, THE MISSISSIPPI OUTRAGES, The report of tho Senate Committes which has been investigating Missisaippi affairs ful- 1y bears out tho assertion of the Prosident fow dnys ogo, that ** Mississippi is governed to.day by officials chioson through fraud and violence, such as would scarcely bo accredit- ed to savages, much less to a civilized and Cliristinn people.” Blossrs, Bavanp and Me- Doxarp, the Democrats on tho Committee, try to ronke & point by criticising the Presm- dents declaration to this effect; bui wo have the assuranco of n majority of the Commit- tee that the evidence they have taken shows 8 condition of things that fully warranted tho strong language tho Prosident used, ‘We gather from the roport that tho real causo of tho mob violonca which wrested the control of the Stato from tho majority of the citizons thoreof is to be traced back to tho porsistont refusal of the whites to work, which wo havoe all along Insisted is the great hindrance to the restoration of Southern pence and prospority, ‘Thoro i8:no question that the White-Line companies which wero organized were of a military charcter, fully armed and equipped, and that their mission was to scour the country, provoke disturb. avces, disporse Republican mootings, aud in- timidato the colored votors. Thoy estab. lished o veritable reign of terror. We re. member that this was vividly illastrated in one caso wherae the colored peoplo wero hold. ing o political barbocue, and a sall number of the White-Linors rode up, dismonnted, tied tnoirhorsos, and appréached tho meeting. ‘Thut was cnough. Tho meoting was Lroken up and the negroes dispersed. Thero was no bloodshied on this particular occasion, it {atruo ; thero was nonced of any., It was cownrdly in tho negrocs to desort their ground and resign their rights, but thoy know what would como it thoy failed to dis- perse, and the iucidont shows how complete a terrorism Lind boen established, Now, the evidenco taken by the Sonate Committeo goes to show that these compn- nies consisted maluly of the young men of the Htato who became of age during the War or hLnvo grown to manhood since the close of tho War, Theso young men havo ovidently been reared with the same prejudices snd in tho samo idlencss as thofr fathers in tho dnys of slave.labor, 'They have inberited a hatred of houest toil with their mothers' milk, Thoy have fulierited the traditional Bouth. orn iden that they ghould live in luxury from {he surplys earnings of the blacks, who now, being free mon, are no longer content with moro rations, IIad the young mon of Miussissippi beou brought up to work like the young men of the North. west ; had they been taught habits of indus try und been inspired with an ambition to improve their condition by their own encr- &y, thoy would have had ueithor the time nor the inclination to organizo mobs for in- timidating tho negroos nt tho polls.

But their idloncss led them in precisely the opposity dircetion. 1t afforded them an opportunity and supplied n tempta- tion for the very mob violenco which they actunlly inatitnted, and which is a disgrace upon their oivilization. There is no doubt that the Democratio porty in Mississippi availed itself of the ter- rorlsm oxereised by tho White-Liners, and ohtalned nn sscendency in the State Legisla. turo which it could not have achieved hul all the voters of the Stato been permitted to exercigo their right of franchiso, It was the |, Leglslature, elocted in this way, that forced Anzs to abandon the Governorship., It waa nlgo this Legislature that clected Laxar to tho United States Senate,~nn npet which along with ‘all its other ncts was null and vold. 'The exposition of the Mississippi roign of torror is timely ; and it has a deep significance ot the present time when the ‘White-Liners of the South are trying to got control of the General Government, e - THE COURT-HOUSE RING. The Ohicago Times printed an article a fow days ngo on the subject of the Court. Houso stone, which spproved the action of the Connty Board ; and its gonaral tendency has led to a suspicion in certain quarters thnt there is somobody about that concern inter. ested in the operntions of the Ring. This suspicion was certninly not dissipated by o paragraph which tho Z%mes printed yesterday morning, justifying thie County Bonrd in re- Jjecting the proposition made by Mossry, Boy- warox and others to build the entire Court- Tlouse for $2,100,000, Tho Z'mes misropro. sents the caso as follows: ‘The plan presented by the BovisatoN combina. tlon fa chicaper than the one adopted, for juet the samo reason that a ‘mmd uf brass Is cheaper than a pound of gold. With reference to fts mcrits, t {3 no cheaper than the county plan, In troth, In this respect it 13 much the dearer, for the reason that it 1s much too small, and not auiciently con- manding in its chamcter. It would be anything but cconomy to put up s hafldlng of insuilicient size and impoverished fimsh, I Cook County ls tuo poor to bulld a Court-liouse of ample dimen. sions, and which will be, for all time, a representa. tiva of our taste and l!n(flrl’rlse. then we are too poor to bulld at nll, As between a chenpaffaie. and none at all for some years, tho latter should, by all menns, have tho proference, Tho fncts are, and the Z¥mes must know them to bo so, that the Bovivarox combina- tion offered to eroct its bullding on the samo foundation as that alrendy put in; that their plan presented n building with just as many squaro foet and just as much room as the plan on which the Couuty Doard is proceed- ing; that their dosign was handsome and suficiontly ornamental; that the building they proposced would bo in every way ade. quate, spacious, substantinl, and creditablo to the city, Thoy proposed to do the work for o million aud a half less than tho County Board proposes to spend without a dotae, or two millions and s half less than the present plan will cost with a domo. In placo of a domo which can't be seen, the BoyinaTon plancontemplatod utilizing tho inner space for a great public Lall, capablo of holding sov- eral thousand peoplo and furnishing light for all tho inner ofices. But Mossrs. BoviNarox and associntes proposed to put a2l the monoy into the Court-ITouse and divide none with tho Ring, 'The Z'%mes further deliborately misropresents the caso whon it says that the BoviNerox building would bo a *chenp af- fair,” A building can bo crocted now for $2,100,000 which shall bo in overy way as clegant and substantinl as a building that would have cost $3,500,000 at any time with- in two years after tho firo, and thatis as wuch as anybody ever thought would bo ex- ponded on o Court-Ilouse. Whatever tho design of the Z%mes articles may be, tho offoct is to oncourngo tho Court-Houso Ring to proceed wiilk its programme for plundering the peoplo of Cook County, and the indications are that tho programme will bo duly insugurated in tho letting of the stone contract. ‘Tho bid of tho favorite con- tractor of the Iling isin such terms that, whilo the amount is nominally $6495,710, it will probably ba swollen by the extra labor and material to supply the omissions of hig bid, so that tho stonc-work in the ond will be mado to cost $800,000 ot $000,000 for tho county part of the building alone. From prosent indications, this would suit some- body about tho Z%mes oflce excellontly woll, INDIANA'S NEXT GOVERNOR.

If ony one has doubted that tha real issno of tho present nationnl contest is the same which the Ropublicans have boen fighting for over sinco tho ordinanco of sccession was pagsed by South Caroling, we would refer him to tho following oxtract from Mr. Hex. prices’ lotter: The first work of roform must evidently ho tho restorution of tha normal operatlon of the Consti- tution of tho United Statos, with all its amand- menta, The necessliles of war cannot bo pleaded in thino of peaces the right of local melf-govern- ment, as_guaraniced by the Constitution of the Unfon, must be everywhere reatored, and the cen- trallzed (almost personal) imporfulism which hns DLeen procticed must be done away, or tho prin. ciples of the Republic will bo lost. i There is not aman in all the Southern States who will not instantly comprehend the *“true inwardness” of this declarntion. It menns, and was intonded to menn, that victory of the Democratic party now will bo |% the first stop toward the rovival of tho old, traditionnl States’ Rights doctrine of the Democratio party, ‘Thero is no other con- struction to bo placed upon ** tho restoration of the normal oporation of the Constitution of the United States.” The normal opera. tion, in the minds of men like TroEN and Hexpniogs, was that the Constitution was merely o compact botween States to be aounulled at any time by tho contracting parties; that the Union of Biates is morely a league of independent nationnlities, something like Germnny wns boforo tho Empiro was formed, and whenthe difforont Gormnn Btateaunitedin a Zollverein; ond, finally, that cach State has absolute control over its own destinios without any ro- gard to the othor thirty-seven. 'Thisis the *‘normal operation” which Mr. Henonicks hag in his mind. "This was the Domooratio construetion of tho Constitntionat the time tho Republican party eame into power in 1861, It wes under this construction that thirteen Southorn Democratio States passed ordinauces of secession. It was to battor down this error that the War for the Union was fought, Mr. Tripey, the Doemocratio eandidate for Prosidont, and Mr. Hexnriozs, the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, waoro both firm bollovers in the right of the Bouthern 8tates to secede, and wero both op- posed to tho policy of coercing them to return, Mr. Tiuokn refused to sign a call for a mass-meeting in New York ‘‘to sustain the Constitution and laws of tho United Btates,” because ho did not believe tho Constitution warranted a coercive main- tenanco of the Union, Mr, Hexnpnicks pub- licly declared that ho would not advise any- body to go to the War, because he would not go himaelf, and tho ronson lie could not go himsolf was bocauss he bolioved thero was no authority for forcing the Rebels tolny down their arms and ackunowledge (he su- premnoy of tho General Government. And now Mr. [eNonioss doclares that this old Democratio construction of a league of States must bo rostored as the first groat work of reform. 'This i no doubiful interprotation of his words.

But Mr, Ilznpnricxs' iden is that this is not a nation, but only o league ; and the logical conclusion from lis promisca i that overy Btate, by and for itsolf, ghould excrelso tho sovercign powers that invest in a separate, distinet, and sov- creign nation. This includes, of cours, the right of withdrawal from tho compaet known os tho Union of Statos, just ng the United Btates Government has recently abrogated an extradition treaty with Great Britain, A restoration of the Democratic party menus undoubtedly a *‘restoration of tho normal operation of the Constitution” us that party has always construed it.

Agninst a nation that thus con. duots a war, Sorvin, unaidod, can no longer contend, and it is not surprising that sho appeals to Europe for peace. But we do not understand why it is that tho nations of Europo pormit this mode of warfaro.

Why should such o roproach to civilization bo permitted to hold any Faro- peans in bondage ? 'Why should not Turkey be forced to put up with her peoplo and posscssions in Asia ?
