A gratifying evidonco of Mr. Bramve's ro- ‘turning health ond strongth was afforded yesterdny in his appearance at tho Conven- tion of tho Third Congressional District wherent his successor in the House was nominnted. He was well enough to attond tho Convention and make a speech. ——e Der Demokrat, of Davenport, the only Germean daily paper published in Tows, has sumo out squurely in opposition to TiLoen aud Hexonicrs, and will support Hayes and Wizeren. This chango of politics is sig- nificant of the general sentiment among the fowa Germans, who constitute a large and \mportant element in that Stat [P ——— ‘The question is raised whether Haxus, the nan who is Iaying the foundation for the ounty’s halt of the Court-Housoe, has a legal sontrnet.

The extont to which partisan bias will in. fluence the views of mon in active political Ifeis curiously illustrated 1 the complete contradiction which occura in the mojority and mnority reports of the Houde Commit- tee on Expenditures in the Post-Office Do- portment. The Demoerats, governed more larguly by the noucssities of the party fora asmaylug roport than by the factv and the ovidonco, Atrongly censure Mr Crrswziv's sdministration of the Department ag corrupt, sxtravagant, neglipent, and lucficiont; whilo the Repuvlicana with equal posi. tiveness how up the ex-Postmuater-Genoral ns a mesel of oxccutive ability, zeal, and in- tmaty.

One hundred dollars in gold wonld buy $111.75 in greenbacks at tho close, To {llustrato in another way tho shame. lessncss of tho Wargen stone job, which wo commont on nt groator langth ulsewhero, it may be mentioned that Fawnna's bid, after deducting $102,280 for the basoment story being built of granite as well ns the pilas- tors and columns, was $432,000; and that the bid of the Hinsparz-Dorre Company for the granite, withont polishing, was 3282,000, —making the two togother $714,000, or only $19,000 mote than it is proposed to pny ‘Warxes for doing the wholo job in lime. stone, In the one case there syould be one story in solid granite, and all tho pilastors the samo ; in tho other, all of the common limestone, But Wavrxen is tho favorite Ring contractor. Very littlo has been known herotofore of the precise manner in which tho legislation of 1878 domonetizing silver was accomplishod, and the country i indebted to a correspond- ent of the Cincinnati Zimes for the intorost- ing history of that extraordinary transaction which we publish this morning. The people of the United States woke up one fine morn- ing to find out that Congress had passeda law depriving ailver of its lognl-tendor qual- ity, but how, why, or whenit waa done, very fow ever discoverod ; andnmongthe ignoraut ones wero included a large number of Sena- tors nnd Representatives in Congress, many of whom had voted for tho measuro withont tho slighteat idea of its intention or practical offect, while others of its supporters had their oyes remarkably wide open. It wasn truly marvelpus piece of Congrossional thimble-rigging. We also publish another letter from Tnorrow Weep, who strongly urges tho repoal of the domonetization act of 1878 as an cssential preliminary to spocio re- sumption and & roturn of prosperity. — THE COURT-HOUSE RING AGAIN, It is now painfully evidant that the con- tractors’ Ring in the County Board are not to bo dismsyed by the expression of public opinion, but have determined to go shead until they shall be compelled by the Courts to abandon their schema of plander, or until thuy shall have lined their pockets with the people's money. The Committees having the stone contraot in charge have voted to report fuvorably on Epwin Warxen's bid, which has heen the indication all along. Tho conditions for furnishing tho' stone were arranged, in the first place, o that it was supposed no- body but Warken could comply with them, First, it was docided that only limestono would be nccapted, thus practically Jimiting competition to tho Cook County and neigh. borhood quarries. This shut out responsible bidders who offered sandstone (probably superior to any limestone that will bo fur- nished for tho Court-House) nt several hundrod thousand dollars loss thon tho limestono bids, Next, it was informally decided that the contract should be Jet only to one bidder for the ontire work of cutting ws well ns furnishing the stone, that the stone should all bo taken from one quarry (though all the limestone is alike in the various adjoining quarries), and that the bidder should give the county a mortgage on his quarry. These were the conditions suggosted in an article in the Chicugo 7'%mes, and accgpted by the County Ring, in the in- terest of WaLxen. It was thought, as we have intimated, that he would he the only ona prepared to comply with them, In this the Ring wore mistaken, Though soveral luwer bidders wera not in a position to com- Py with these arbitrary conditions, one firm, whouo sid was $109,000 less than WaLEER's, woro able and willing to accept the terms. Thus the Ceunty Ring was forced to show its hand. It pomptly voted down the lower bid, sud rosolved to favor Wargen's, Tho vote on the latter was as follows ; For Walker—Carroll, Cleary, Conly, McCaflrey, and Jobnson, Agaiust Walker—Guenther, Sehmidt, aad Lone ergan, Mr, Lonzroaw, it seems, whose fricnds have always cloimed that Le had 10 corrupt purpose in any vote which he may have fur- ing his term given with the majoities, voted in tho minority ; but his loss #as made up by the accession of Creany, ore of the new members, who, whilo proteting that he would like to know of the Riog if thero was one, did not wait to find out but voted with the Ring immediately, as h¢ has seemed in. clined to do ever since ha stered the Board, +Mr. Buzbick, ono of tle honest members of the Board, though nct a member of this Committes, denounced the actiou publicly a8 a part of a big ateal and explained that it really mennt not the tloft of $109,000 alone, hut of $827,000, or threo tintus thut smonut. The $109,000 ir merely tha difference bo- twuen the bid «f Worr, Price & Kenpen apd Epwiy Waken for this purtioulee lot of stons and vork, which is not more than onw. thivd of #38 antire stons work that will bo required befora the building shull bu cowplet- ed, Wr. Goextnen, who hkewise denounced thuob &y an unnntigated outrage and down right robbary, cstimated thut the public wonld be swindled out of at least §500,000 by tho operation, since Wanker's bid isin such termn us to afford sbuudunt opportuni- tios for *‘extran.” How suvcessfully this {tem may bo swollon ix illustratod by tho bill of * oxtras” brought fn by Mause, tho Ring contractor for the foumdation, whicn does not full far short of Lis contract price, the contraot culling for some $87,000, while Lis bill for *¢ oxtras " is £70,000, If ths County Toard agraey taerotore, to pay Warken some 427,000 moro than another firm offered to tako the work for under tho suma conditions, 1t is nut unreasonable to assume thut this dilterence will ba increasod to ut lanst half o wiilion boforo the job shull be finwhied; but this will represent only sbout ono-hulf what 18 expeoted will be stolen Mossrd, Scinoy snd Lovenoan showed by their votes that they wore nclined to beliave sll that wus oponly charged by Mesars, Bumpicx and Guentuen, Indeed, tha Ring mambarg did not stop to sxplain or defend themselves, but voted the job through brazenly. 1t the Ccunty Boord sppreves the activa of tho Committea’ in this matter, as the strength of the Ring threatens, then nnmo. diste ateps should bu taken to suw vut o in- jnoction agwinst the cousummution of the swindle, Thy evidenco of fraud is 8o clwur that the contract will be anunlled in the Baulo Wiy us o recen®, contruct madu’ by tho Bourd of Health was sunulled. It ia o shameful stute ot things that the people of Ohieago and Cook Qounty must staud quietly by and s4s hundreds of theunsands of dullars of their money votud away by men, somo of whom ars actually under indictment for rob. biug the county in other mutters. But the publio caunot chauge th. churscter of the Bourd tilt the next electicn, when five now members ara to ba chosen. In the wean- tuuy, the assislanca of the Courts must bo 1y in progross. EDUCATIONAL ABUSES, It hins beon a question of whero the Bonrd of Education could retrench and reduce its oxpenditures. It must be protty evident just now that there is no possible usa for the offico of Assistant Buperintendent of Publie Schools. That is an office wholly unnaces- sary. It is & mero place for the oxpenditure of money. Thero being money in it, it has produced strife and excitement, lobbying, attempts at blackmail, joalousies, and sean- dals, eventuslly leading up to murder. Let it be abolished. ‘Whilo the Board is saving this expenditure, lot it examina whether thore is not too much monuvy spent in superintendence in propor- tion to the amount exponded for tenching. Thero has been n sort of sanctily thrown around the public schoola which has forbid. den criticlsm, and pronounced censure upon their management to be hardly loss than tresson, It hns boaon claimed for the manngoment that any investigation or scrutiny wae onmity to tho soliogls, Thero are twoclassos intorestod in the schools: The firat class are thoso who pay the taxes, and the second clnss tho childron for whom tho schools are intonded. ‘Tenchors and all oth- ors employed arc paid in order $o extond to as many children ar possible the benefite for which the taxes are providad. The education nf the ohildren is the ond sought; thisis what the money is contributed for. Tho payment of teachors and other officers isa gecondary matter,—the providing an sgency to carry out the primary purpese. 'To pay $1,000 for teaching 100 children, when 200 children wmight ba taught for the same sum, in n wasto of money—n robbery both of the tax-payor and of the children. When the Board of Education, therefore, wastos the taxos either in pnying too great salaries, or solaries for useless offices, they commit a donblo wrong, They oxtort money under a proper protext, but use it for an improper purpose, aud they deprive the children of the schooling to pay for which the monoy has been collected. Now let the Board oxamino itslist of salaried officers. How many of the men employed are employed in teaching; how many in superin- tendlog? Does not the businoss of su perintondence overshadow that of tenching? And ocannot tho snperintendenco be ro- duced at o grent saving of money ond with an increase of teaching? Begin. ning at tho Superintondent, with twenty or more of male principals and a largo forco of head assistants, oxtra teachers, and otlior aids to superintendence, how much of this can be dispensed with? Theso places on the “staff ¥ are botter paid andare greatly pro. ferred to those in the line, . The introdue- tion of a stranger, asin the case of Mr, Dory, no mattor how fitted the person may be, is the signal for rovolt, for iutrigue, for joal- ousy, for cabals, for secrob circulars, and con- fidential sccusations, Tho tendency i to anlargo tho forco at headquarters, to put all that is possible on tho *“ staff," to have ovory- body superintonding everybody elso or nssisting to do so, nnd conseqnently toaching is sacrificed to superintendence, and the money needod to pay teachers to teach is thrown away paying peoplo to superintond, or assisting somabody olse to superintend, or to do something or anything clse than the only work that ought to be paid for, and that is toaching, In tho namo of the people who pay tho taxes, and the children for whos benafit the taxos are paid, wo insist that the Bonrd of Fducation rovise its list of offices, and as far 0s possiblo confine its sala~ ries to tenchers, and confino the duty of the teachors to teaching. THE NORTH SIDE TRAGEDY. Tho Coroner's Jury in the case of the Han vorp killing have found that the unfortunato man met bis death by o pistol-shot fired by Arczanoen Burravan, and Suruivax hosboon hold for trial in the Criminnl Court withont bail. No other verdict could have boeen rea- sonably expocted from the evidence eligited ot the inquest, Surnnivax and his wifo made voluntary statements (the Coroner would not permit them to bo swaorn) which virtually admitted the foots of seeking out Haxvonp, though denying that thero was any intention of doing him harm; of the scuffle, in which Mras, BunLivas says shie was siruck by ITav. vorp; and of the shooting. The officer who orrosted Burrivay testified that the latter said bo had shot o man, and asked that ho be taken in charge, The Lackman who was directly in front of the affrny awore that he saw tho shot fired. The County Physician who mado tho poat-mortem examination gave ovidenco that the wound was fntal, and that there was n contusion of tho skin near Han. rouc's nose where Surivan had first struck him. The pistol from which the fatal shot wus fired was identifled by tho police officer and by Suruivan's brothar. 8o tho chain of ovidencs is complety which establishos the faot that Burrivax killed ITanromp, und it only remaing for tho anminal trial to do- velnp such corollorary facts as will aggravato or mitigate his crimo, Tho most inteiligant narration of the affair wua given by Mr, D. 8, McMurrey, who was sccidentally an eys-witness ond close at hand. Dy a singular coionidence, Mr. McMoriey, who s ons ot the proprietors of the Krening Post, wus on his way to Mrs, Busrivaw's hinuss t engugn her as o writer for his paper when hio cams ucross them in frunt of Haw- Fonv's,—a circumstanco which is important sgshowing that MoMuoLrex wusfriendly to the Surrivans, and can havhnerenson for coloring hin story to their disndvantuge, 'Thero is 10 dnubt that hu has told the truth explicitly and intelligently, and wasun eye-witneus with- n u very fow foat of the alterention, trum the brginniug to the end This cironmstanco will have un Important bearing on the trial. Mr, McMurrey talked with Mrs, Surtavan ut the warriuge-door during the prelimnary convarsation between Suntrvay aud Hixvonn, when the fornier was demanding » retraction fram the latter MoMoLLyN testifles that, dunng thos {ulk, dra. Bunwivaw suid “thot dug [moaning 1axrorp] bas ontraged and insulted me," s vemark which she subse- quently repented in e diffarent shape ; and alu thut, when he (Modlunnes) askad her what her busband had cowme there fur, sho repliad. " Ta gut satisfuction, and b [poiat. g to Hanroun] will be lucky if he gots off with o whole hid.” Mrs, BurLivan hagdenied ta the reportars thot sho used such luinguagv, but unfortunately for her sho is not a com- putent witness, and it will bo hard to fmag. iro uny theory upon which MoMuoLLey can bo rensonably presumed tomfarepresent Mry, SuvLLivan, orput words in her mouth she aid not- use. 1ler lauguage has an importunt bearicg on the case, ns tonding to show the motives which prompted the visit, and alsn fizing the moral responsibility which the wife must divide if she urged her husband on .tu his rash doud by similsr remarks, Qnucerning the allegod striking of Mrs, Sur.- L1vaN by thedsocased Hanvorv, ModMorueN's statement of the ocvurrence i such as would most likely bappen, and Lis proximity to tho parties again mnkes him the most trust. worthy witness, Thore in no disputo ns to the faet that Suntavan struck the first blow, if not tho only one. McMurneN says Sut- LvaN knocked Hasronn down, and that whilo the Iatter was down, SvLiavan over Jim witl his hand to his victim's throat, Mo- Aurrex pulled Surrivas away. 'Then Mrs, Suzrivan nnd Suntrvax’s brother rushed up 1o Hanrorp, and they wera all three clinched. In another instant Haxrorp had got looso from them, and stepped toward SuLrivan whon ho was shot. It would not be strange if Haxronp, in struggling and throwing his orms sbout to get loose from Mrs. SuprivaN and the youngor BULLIVAN (n natural impulso under tho ciroumatances), had the appearance of striking, or his hand may havs actunily come in contact with Mra. HSurrrvan's face without deliberately intend- ing n blow. Ruporrn Rissuax, standing 160 fect away, and in twilight, says ha saw one of the mon striko Mrs, Surzavan; but Mc. Muzrew, standing within & feot, saw noth. ing but the struggle us described. The mo- tion of Haxronp'y arms, in tryingto pot away, may well bave deceived tho witness who stood so far away. Indeed, Mrs, Sonzt- VAN hins stated to a reporter that she thuught Haxronp bad no intontion of striking her. The testimony beforo the Coroner's Jury leayes the case thus : ‘Iint SuLLivay sought out Hanronp and killed him because the Inttor had characterized Surtavan's wifo s n busybody in a communication which had been' presented {o the Common Conuneil without any authority from Haxrorn, Thnt is tho plain statemont of tho case, nud ns ruch it accounts for the strong public feel- ing that has been aroused. If the parties were obscure people, the same cir- cumatances would probably bave led to tho detention of Mrs. Surrivay and Sur- 1avax's youngor brothor ns nccessories, for oxamination as to their pravious knowl- odgo of tho crime that wos committed and their intantion In accompanying SuLrivAN when he went in search of Llanrorp, Tho provocation, if it can ba enlled o pravocs. tion, which FlAxronp gave Suntivay for an assault wos in no sonso like n dofamation of n wifo's character or a reflection on a wifo's intogrity ; Mrs., Surzavan. hos beon edmit- tedly free in her own oxpressions of opinion, hoth in publio journals aud among politi- cinns on ail possible subjects, and had, by her ambition and rather unusunl conneotion with publio nffairs for n woman, rendered herself subjoct to the charge of intriguing or lobbying in publis matters as much as o man, Had Haxronp made the somo charge " ngainst SuLLIvAy's brother, SuLLIVAN would uot have killed Havronp; thore was no more justification for tha killing bocnuso the chargo was mado sgainst his wifo under the civoumstancos we have deseribed. TILDEKR'S FALSE FIGURES, 1In his lotter of acceptance, Mr. TrupeN un- dortakes to mnko the ** Liard times " and com- mercial dopresaion which oxist throughout the world tho subject of complaint agninst tho Republican party, Ho charges that tho Govorumont has caten up tho substance of tho peopla; that it has consumed their means, and that distress s the natural rosult, Ho thus statos the caso: The present deprestion in all the basinesn and industries of the people, which {a dapriving labor of its employment, and carrylng want Into so many homes, Liss Its principal cause in excessiva Gov- ernmental consmption, Under tha Hlusions of o speclou prospetity engenderad by tho false ollcles of the Federnl Governiment, o wiste of capltal has been golnys on ever since the peace of 1865, which could only end in nniversal disuster, Tho Federal tuzos of ho lost cloven years reach the gigantlc sum of four thousand Jide hundred millions. Local taxatlon_haa ameuniod to twoethirds as much moto, The vast sigregato s not less than euven thousand five hundred millions. AMr, Tiepen's statoment has hardly the somblanco of fact to sustain it; itis false and deceptive not only in what it nsserts, but in its suggestions and in what it sup. pressos. It is o statonient of account which, if made by onindividual to ropresent the samo transactions bet®een him and another, would be branded ns fraudulont and dishon- est. Lot us look at the facts, Tho net ordi- nary receipts of the United States for tho ecloven yoars onding Juno 30, 1876, wero as follows: , 047, 043,767 The figures for the year 187 are not yet offlcially complate, but the sum we have given is equal to tho whole receipts for the year. It will bo soon that Mr, T1LpEN ovor- states the amount of taxos collacted sinco the poace of 18656 by $463,000,000, Alr. TiLpeN lins complained that the Republican party refused to have tho Government live within its incomo, snd ho ropresents tho Govern- mont during these eleven years of peace of living upon its capital. Let us sco what the Government bas dono with this taxation or income: On the 10th of June, 1805, the aut- standing pubiic deb 2 Debt Aug. 1, 1874, Reduction af debt, .8 630,700, 000 During tho War thore was contracted over 300,000,000 represented by war claims and damages to Btates and individuals, ar- renrages of pay to soldiers and sailors, old bounties, railroad and steamboats for trans- portation, and balancea on contracts for sll kluds of supplies, This sum has been paid from timno to time, without tho Hability at any timo buing enumerated in tho publio debt. During these samo ‘“‘oleven years of ponce ™ tho Govermmont has pald out for interest tho sum of 81,338,101,456 on the War debt, sud for pensions the sum of $297,428,461, ‘Theso avo a Tow of the lead. ing ituma of extraordinary expendituro on uceount of the procevdings of Mr. Tinpen's Democratic frionds,—a legucy loft to the Republican party by the Democrats on going out of officu, Mr, Tiipes, in his aggre. gation of the exponditurs, makss no sllow- aneu for theso itomy, which ara not within the ordinary exponditures of the Govern. ment, How much do they nggrogate ?

This deoision was to the effect that whera there is n goneral law of tho State on a por- ticular subject thore cannot be a special law on tho samo subject. And this is cortoinly a sound and sonsible viow of the provisinns and prohibitions of tho State Constitution, One ot thoso provisions is that the Genoral Assombly shall not pass any loeal or spocial laws regulnting county and township affairs. Thoro is n goneral statuto providing for the {sauing of county bonds. It is Chap. 31, Seo, 40 (pago 310, Rovised Statates), to-wit : ‘When the County Board of any county shall deem It neceseary to lasiig county honds to onsble them to perform aoyof thedutios (mpoeed on them by law, they may, by an ordor entered of record, specifylng the amount of bonds required ond the ubject for which thoy aro lssuod, submit to the legal voters of their :mlnlt at any gencral election the question of {ssuing such couniy bonds, Tho' amount of hondy 80 {ssucd shall not exceed, including the then ex- Isting indebtedness of the county, 5 per centum on the value of such taxable praperty of such coun- ty au ascertained by the osscssment for the State and county tax for tha recedlnmyur. Sald vote 8hall be by ballot, on which ahull bo written or printed, * For connty bonds,” or ** Aralnst coun- ty bonds,* and If & Inajority of the votersat wuch electl that question Bhall bo ** For county honds, id County Bonrd shall be suthorized to feenu bonda of not less than $100, nor niore than 81,000 eachi, payable respectively in not loss than one year nor mare than twenty years, with intorest payable nnnusily atthe rate of not mory than 10 per cent per annum. It would nppear, therefore, that no issne of county bonds for the building of a Court- House or for auy other purpose con be-made without first submitting the questivn to a vote of tha people nt o goneral election, and that any issto of bonds mado without such a voto would bo invalid and worthless, Tho power to issuo thesa Court-House bonds is claimed undor a special law passed April 1, 1873, but under tho Supreme Court decision roforvad to that Jlaw is nugatory, so far at loast us it provides a difforent mode of issu- ing county bonds. g 1t is obviously compotent for any person to onjoin tho issuo of connty bonds attempted to bo issued without s vote of the people. ‘Wa refor tha matter to the Citizons' Associa- tion a8 a propor subjoct for their attention nnd mation, and we shall not bo suswerable to tho purchasors of Cook County bonds for any mishap that may befall them if they in- vest in securitics issued without conformity to Inw after the law has beon ascertained and declared. It is probably immaterial undor the Suprome Court docision whether tho special Iaw, under which tho rightto jssue Court-House bonds is claimod, waos passed bofore or after the general law, but 04 6 matter of fact, the gonoral law is tho lnst one passed on the subjoct, and nocessarily governs. It was passed March 81, 1874, The spocial law was pussed April 1, 1878, HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN DOLLAR, Thero seoms to bo a gonoral misunderstand. ing in rogard to the presont legal status of the silver dollar as affected by the different acts of Congross in rolation thoreto, Tt seems to bo concoded, however, and is really the fact, that from the foundation of the Governmont until the passage of tho act of Feb, 12, 1878, the silver dollar containing 3714 grains of pure silver, with moro or less alloy, was tho unit of value of tho money of tho United States. Until 1837 tho weight of the dollar was 416 graine of atandard silver of the finenoss of 902 7-0 thousandthas, bat by tho nct of Jan. 18, 1837, the standard fine. nesa of thodollar of the United Btntes was fixed at 1,000 parts by woight, of which 900 parts wore of purs metal and 100 parts of alloy, the nlloy to consist of copper. The weight of the silver dollar wns fixed at 412} grains, and tho dollar of this weight continued until 1873 to bo the money unit of the United States, the valus of gold coins being adjusted thereto and determined thereby. There was in all this logislation no doubdle standard cstab- lished, nor was there over a gold dollar coined until such coinagae was authorized by the act of 1849, **conformable in all repects to the atandard of gold cofns now (thon) authorized by law,"” ond its woight wns fixed at 25.8 graing of tho finoness of' nino hundred thousandths, This did not establish n doubls standard, but tho silver dollar continued to be tho unit of valuo until the net of Fab, 12, 1878, 'That act deolaros ns follown: *The gold coins of tho United States shall ben ono dollar piece, which, at tho standard woight of twenty-five and eight-tenths grains, sliall be the unit of value, . . " *The silver coin of the United States shall bo a trade dollar,” a half dollar, a quartor dollar, and a dime., Tho weight of the trade dollar to bo four hundred and twenty grains, troy., Tho standard of fineness for both motals is fixed at 1,000 parts by weight, 900 parts of pure metal. No other gold or silver colns to bo isaned excopt na #ot forth in the title, Tho act ulso provides that ** the gold coins of tho United States shall be legal-tender at their nominal value,” ond * the silver coins of the Unitod shall be a logal-tendor for any smount not exceeding five dollars in nny ono payment,” This act worked s complete revolution in tho relative atatus of gold and silver coins, 1t deprived tho silver dollar both of its legal- tonder quality and itaunit of value quality, and transforred tho latter quality to the gold dollnr, It also abolished the old silver dollnr of 412} grains and substituted thercfor o trade dollar of 420 gralns, At the time thizx was done, the silver dollar was worth more than the gold dollar, and it seems to us that the londholders might then have complained, and with good ressoen, that tho sct was one of repndiation, Thoy wore en- titlod to Linve thy silver dollar continued as the unit of vélue; and had gold, inatead of silver, depreciated tn velno, wa should have heard n howl from them over the dad fuiith of our Government, They would, no donbt, have demunded that the lottor of tho bond shonld be complied with, aud tho status of thoe sflver dollar rustored, in ull respects, sy before ke act was poased. Now, have not the peopli who must pay these bonds tha same righs to ocinpis'n and +to make tha sums dewmaud ? {Tul supposo sil- vor should be remonstized, aud silvsr dol- 1ars cninsd for all who might bring bullion to tho mints of the United Btates. Isit probable that the bondkolder class would be so ter- ribly injured theroby? If the demand for fifty millions for subaidisry coin has sont silvor up in tho market 7 or 8 per cout, would not & demand for two or three hun- drod millions Lave the effect to bring the valuo of gold and silver very noar together? Who, then, is to ba injured by it? By all monng lot silvar dollars be restorad to their origloal status, and our financisl problem will be solved, specie resumption will bo ensy, publio confidenco will be restored, husiness will revivo, and tho country will entar on & new ern of prosporit; THE FORTY-THIRD BTREET BTOOK.YARD BEWE ‘Thera I8 a proposition beforo the Village Trustces of Hyde Park to conatruct a great 6+ foot sewer from the lake, west along Forty-third street to Btato strect, which fs tho town line between Hyde Park and Lake, Tha length of the gewer will ho 18 miles, and tho estimated cxpense fs $80,000, This great cost is In conse- quence of the great depth of the cut through quicksands from tho Boulevard to the lake. The work will have to be sheet-plied for tho greater part of the distance. Some of the cx- cavatfon will exceed, {t s said, 20 feet fn depth. Tt s proposed to* spread part of the asscasnient over the property facing Forty-first and Farty-sccond streets on the north, and For- ty-fourth and Forty-fifth streets on the south, aud glso on the strects rnnuing across theso north and south. It is alleged that tho object of the promoters of thesclieme s to enable the north part of the Town of Lake and the Stock- Yardas and slaughter-houses to conneet with this main sewer and run thelr refuse blood and nnimal ond other nuisanco matter into the lnke ab the Forty-third strect depot on the Illinols Central Road. The large snnjority of the prop- erty-owners of North Ilyde Park strenuously object tothis scheme, for the double renson that they do not want to be asscssed and taxed $50,000 for the construction of n sewer for tho benefit. of the Btock-Yards, slaughter-houscs, and property-owners of wet land fn the Town of Lake, and that sufliclent dealnnge for Forty- third street and ndjacent property can be se- cured by aceepting the offer of the Park Com- miseloners, It seoms that the Park Commis- sloners constructed n sewer to carry off the surface water of a part of the Grand Boulevard, which runs cast from the latter to Drexel avg- nue, and theneco turns north to Forty-second street, and follows it along the low ground of the Reform School tract to thelake. Itis thus described: Tho said sewer 1angoad brick sewer, 3 fect In dinmeter on the insldo at Lake Michigan and 27 inches ot Grand Boulevard, Tying below tho surface of the ground at a depth of §.4D fect at liydo Park avenuc, and 8,42 at Drexel Boulovard, 10.45 feot ot Vincennes avenue, and 0,28 feot at Grand Boulevard, with descent of over 0 feet aa per dia- gramn hicreto attached. Itis the opinion of thosc who have looked into the subject that the enld sewer if extended to State street is of sufliclent capacity to carry off: all the surface water and all the sewage within a reasonable distance thorefrom. The Parke Commlssioners offer to scll this sewes, which fs a mile and a quarter long, to the Hyde Park authorities for the sum of $7,000, which hardly represents .the annual in- terest on the cost of the Stock-Yards and slaughter-houso sewer, It fs beleved that this draln will answor all needful purposes for a dozen years, after which the property requir- fug an enlarged sewer will bo better able to Lear the cost of one than at present, when real estate Is In so depressed a condition. If the proposed 8tock-Yards and slaughter-house sewer {s built, ftwill be necessary to tako up and destroy the present gewer for a milo along Forty-third strect to make room for it. Thers will be o determined resistance to this Town of Lake sewer project in the present flacal stato of things, T —————————— Thero fa no telegraphic cable yet laid in the Paciflc Ocean. Two such cables are needed by tho Increasing fmportance of the direct trade of the United States with Australia and Asia. One of the vessels of the United States—the Tusca- rora—has been engoged fu sounding tho Paclfle for a cable route. An Interesting tablo of the soundings mado {s published in the S8an Fran- clsco papers. The soundinga were between San Franclsco and Brisbane, Australla, by way cf Honoluly, Phanix, and Fiji,—obout 7,000 miles. Deeper water was found in several places than mny of the Atlantie cablea loin; but not so much deeper as to add snything to the difiieul- ties of laying a submarine tclegraph. At & distance of 275 miles from San Francisco the Tuscarora’s lead struck a sub-oceanic plaln, 3 miles below tho surface and 600 miles long, separated ‘by a ridgo of submerged mountains from nnother plain of about equal extent. The islands of the Fiji group were found to be the summits of subinarino rauges of mountains, and many of the South Sca Islands proved to be tops of vertieal columnns of rocks several miles decp. The Pheenix and Fiji Islands were seleet- ed as spots sultable for relay stations, Itis to be hoped that the development of the vast fu- ture futerests of this country in the commerce with Asia and Australia may soon have the help of two Paclfic cables,~one to China und another to Austratia.
