It s decided by the Attornoy-General of the United States that a candidate for Presi- dential Elcctor cannot hold the office of United States Commissioner, aud that the samo rnlo applies to attorneys specinlly em. ployed by the Government to assist in the conduct of cases. . Tho trial of Gen. Bancoox on the charge of complicity in the safe-burglary conspiracy began in Washington yesterday, and pro- cocded as far as the relection of 4 jury, the composition of which is thought cortain to insure a verdict of acquittal, Judge Fur~ 1ERTON, 0f Now York, appears for Bancocx, * whilo the prosecution will be ceuducted by District-Attornoy WarLs and Judge RipprLe. ‘Western importers will bo interested in an amended regulation of the Troasury Depart- ment relative to the transportation of ap- praised merchandiso in bond through Cana- dian territory. 'The change pertains to nr- ticles of o perishable nature requiring atten- tion en route, livo stock, and such bulky or unwieldy articles as can only bo transported upon platform cars or tho decks of veasols. Bhipments of this character necd not bo bonded and sealed as formerly, but may bo curried with greater couvenience, dispateh, aud safety under the now regulalion. The Governments of Great Britain and the United States are at loggerheads on the ex- tradition question, and, as neither will recedo from the pesition taken, all correspondence ,on the subject has been dropped for the presont. ‘Tho point of differenca is, whether a troaty can boe abrogated by o law of Parlin- ment—Lord Dreny holding the afirmative of the position, while Secretary Fisn tales the contrary viow, nnd refuses to consider any preposition which does not recognizo his - position us corroct. Therefore thers is no oxtradition trenty in force belween tha United States rnd Eugland, and no imme- - dinte likelihood of an agreemont on the sub- . oot i~ chezaadte L ‘The brightest sign of hopa for success In Connecticut is tho nomination of Gen, Haw- 1EY by tho Republicans of the First Con- grossional District. Mo is an ablo, houest, oarnest, sincere man, indomitable in will and indefotigablo in work. The following con. gratulatory paragraph from the New York ZLrening Post will bo indorsed everywhors among Republicans: **His return to Con. grees ot tho present time would uaquestiona. bly boa great gain for the cause of good Government, Gov, Haves, if clected Prosi- dent, would find in him on intelligent and encrgetic supporter of those reforms in tho Federal Administration the well-founded hope of which constitutes the Ropublican strength before the country, Wa hopa that Gen. Hawzey will bo elected by a good ma- jority; and in nuy event his momination strengthens the Presidontial ticket,” The report of Mr. BanNa, Scerctary of the British Legation at Constantinople, on tho subject of the Turkish atrocities in Bul- gurin, fully corroborates the officinl accounts previously given of the fearful butcheries which bave shocked thoe entiro civilized world. Mr, BariNG was nssigned by the Dritish Governmeont to the dnty of investi- gating the subject of the Bulgarian massa- cres, and his arrnignment of the Turk- ish nothorilica for: their encourage- went’ and sanction. of the horrible decds of the DBashi-Bazonks will have the effect of increasing the already inteuso popular resentmont and indignation of the peoplo of Great Britnin. Now that England ix oflicinlly informed by lier own agent of the truth coucerning these atrocities, thero no Ionger roimning any excuse for the inaction of the Government in the matter, and the gon. crul demand for n more vigorous und humano policy can no longer be resisted. ¥ - T —— By tho oriler of tho Roman Catholio priest at Vargen Point, N, J., 150 ehildron of Irish porentage have been withdrawn from ‘the publio school. A parochinl school hins been catablished, and thesoe children will nttond it at an oxtra cost to their parents, who, such of them as are tax-payers, havo already boen taxed to support the public school. Cascs of this kind are getting to be more and inore froquent of Iato, and aa the hostility of tho Romau Church to the Ameri- can common-school system continues to bo manifested in this manuer from time to time, the necessity of a constitutional amendmont similar to that proposed by Mr, DBrasne becomes clearly spparent. A general . withdrawal of Oatholic childron from the schools means a demand for a division of the schoul-fund, and the courso of the Now Jer- sey priest, although it may have been taken upon his individual authority, i in accord with the general sentiment and tendency of his Clurch, i Tho Chicago produce markets were modor- ntely active yesterday, and generally firm in tla latter part of the day.

Conwixg, Jupp in answer to o paragraph which ap- peared in Tre Trinuxe yostordny concorning him, We published the statement beeause it has been ropeatodly mado during the last twolve years, and supposed it was truo. Mr. Jupp, as long ago ns 1864, enjoyed tho distinction of boing tha hend fn Ilinois of the Knights of the Golden Oircle, and the revelations of the character and design of the objoct of that organization rendored the raising of a company of cavalry a small affair in comparison. In the official report of the Judge-Advocate-General, Howur, ** on tho * Order of American Knights,” or ¢ Sons of Liberty,'s Western conspiracy in aid of the Southern Rebellion," mnde under date of Oct. 8, 1864, is given the names of tho offl- cors, ote.,, of the organization in several States, and contains the following parn- graph: Tho Grand Commander In Iilinols 18 —— Junp, of Lewlstown, and R. B. Pirer, of Springfield, who {8 entitled **Grand Missionary of the State," and deaignated aleo as a member of VALLAN- DicHAN's staf, {s ono of the active members, hav. ing been busily engaged thronghout the summer In establishing temples nnd initiating members. Wa give Mr. Jupp the full benefit of his deninl of the company-of-cavalry story, and wo will give him tho bonefit of & donial that ho wns a member and officor of tho Knights or tho Sons of Liberty, and by to-morrow we will bo able to explain and give ovidence from officinl papers as to the purposes and ends of that organization, and of its opera. tions in this State and other States in oppo- sition to tho War and in aid of tho Rebell- jon. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARTIES, Since thedelivery of Prof. SuunEn's trans- cendental theorics of party organization, o good many nowspapors that think they can bestaorva tho Democratio party under the pres tonso of independence have doscanted wildly on the subject of party shackles, all leading up to the support of Samuen J. Tiupex, whoso long life hus been a constant devotion to party, and who has been utterly unserupu- lous in his maungement of politica for party ends, 'Tho whole drift of the argument is palpably inconsequential. But ib' is o good time to meet Prof. Sumver on” his own ground. Ilis theory is that party is a “non- ontity,” s *form,” a * metaphor,” a **thing without a moral conscience,” and that good citizons must look to tho mon and not the party. We presume that it will bo admittod that a party is an aggregation of men; and herein, following Prof. Svawen's leading idoa, do we find the groat differouce between the Republican and Democratio partics of to-day. A singlo instanco will suffice ‘o illustrata tho distinction. T'he Democratic party nom- inated Samvex J. Tiuoex for President and adopted the glittering generality of “Ite. form” as the catchword of tho campnign. On Prof. Svmnen's theory, tho candidate, chief supporlers, and men who furnish the votes, ought to be of a characterto pledgo tho renlization of reform and not to tolerate either personal or political corruption. Now Mr. TiLpeN, their eandidate for President, is plainly charged with being a perjurer aud a revenue-thief. Tho offonse which is Inid at his door is materially the, same ns that for which Remyt and Hesrvo, MoKee and M- QuIne are now serving out their terms in jail. Thero were but ona or two newspapers among tho entiro Democratic press of the country that called upon Mr, TiLpzx to show that the charge was false, and oven theso have failed to press the demand, Some weeks have olapsed, and Mr., Tinpew has not spoken, Tho theories of defense advanced by some of his partisans have all been abnu. doned. Ilis own continuod silence, in spite of o promised explanation, is a virtual ad- mission that ho is unable to explain away the ovidence against him, It is no longer n case of mero spoculntion, Tho original record standy which shows him to have sworn in ono instanco that his ontire income in 1862 was oply $7,118, and in another instance that b received the sum of §20,000 from n single cliont in that year. To this hns been added evidence that his carnings for that yoor were not less than $100,000; that for cight years ho mnde no return what- ever of his incomo as the law re- quired, which is precisely the ssme os distillors making no return of tho whisky thoy manufacture; and, in a word, that he has robbed the Gavernment of prob- ably not less than $80,000, which was just o much tho property of tho Government under tho law and in fact s Mr. Tirpes's cont is hia property, Yet tho great body of mon who make up Mr, TiLveN's party, the newspapers that support him, the stump-ora. tors who go about tho country and make speechos for him, the blowers nnd atrikers who organizo Btates, connties, cities, towns, nud villages in Lis behalf, havo uttored no wordo! protest against his continued silence, and have apparently suffered not n moment nt the thought that thoy aro sccking to ele- vato to the highest ofiice 1n the Government o man who deliberately robbed the Govern. weut for a period of ten years, The Ropublican party, though it bo a “form" or & *‘metaphor,”" according to Prof, Suamen, is mado up of different stull. 1t is an aggregation of a better class of men with a higher notion of worality and hones- ty. It may havo ita hack politicians, aud its Llowers and strikers, like other politionl or- gouizations, but they are not so overwhelm- ingly in the majority as to bluut the moral perceptions of that large number of citizens who act with it undoer the promptingsof political consclence. Iad the same chargo, sustained by tho same kind of ovidence, been used against Gov, Haves, n demand for ox- planation would Liave gone forth from the nowspapers, tho stump, the counting-room, and the home, which ko cowld not have re- sisted. ITad be romainod silent under the chargo aud the evidence, the National Ite- publican Committeo would have met and called onother Convention to uominate & new candidato for President, ‘Thore Wo . think Prof. Bomoms would not deny it The men who make up tho mass of Republican voters are of a class who would not, for tho enke of pnrty alone, elect to the Presidency A man who would be n standing object of scorn before tho world, and give tho lio to overy American claim that onr popular Government is the model Republic. The difforenco botweon the Ropublican nnd Domooratio partios eannot be moro aptly {ilnatrated on any personal bnsis. Nothing could have ocourred to reveal more vividly the intense and consciencoless partisanship of the mnss of . people who nro now aggro- gated under the * form" or *“metaphor” of the Democratio party, The offices, npoils, .power, and plunder of political snccess aro the objects in viow. There aro men who wonld lave voted for TiLpey that will not on this nccount, but they are not numerous to prick the party up to a moral senso of the infamy of trying to minke o revenuo-thicf Ohiof Mnglstrato of the conntry. The Confederatea of tho Bouth long too ardently for a restoration of their political ascendoncy to bo deterred by any obstaclo; thoir allies at tho North hanker too greedily after tho spoils of place to triflo with succoss for tho sake of honor; and the entira mass known s tho Democratio party, while shrieking roform, aro united in the support of o man for Prosident whose tax. record deprives him of the confidence of those sincerely in favor of reform, and will maka him, a8 President, the tool of political corruptionists, Wo commend this illustra- tion to that class of political theorlsts who are just now looking to men and not party, — JUDGE LYMAN TRUMBULL, The Democrats inourred the exponse of hiring n hall to enable ex-Senator Trvanury to give his viows and opinions upon the rela. tions of the Republican and Democratio par- ties to the country at the present timo, Mr, TruMBULL {8 no exceplion to tho goneral rule, that the politician who edueates him. self to the beliof that ho is essentinl to the country, and is taaght how readily the coun- try can get along without him, foraver after 1as a poor opinion of mankind, and especial- 1y of thoge whom he betrayed, and who then abandoned him. There aro but few, howov- or, to whom this oxperience happens more than once ; but Mr, TrumsuLy is now doing for the Democratic party that which at a previons dato in his history ho did for tho Republicans. Ho is exhibiting the bit~ ternoss and virulonce of his mnature towards thoso to whom he had proved troacherous and false. In 1854, Lrnuy TrRuapuLy, who had been a Demo- crat, left his party and the personal political assoclotes of a lifetime, helped to organize and recruit the Republican party, and for 18 yenrs was conspicuous for the relontless de- nunciation and vohoment bitterness which ho heaped unpon his old party, its policics, ond its lenders, The Republican party nc- cepted him a8 ono of its founders and lend- ers; honored him with three elections to the United States Senate, and honored him by eminent position n that body, Failing to do more for him, he turned upon it with in- gratitude, and on Monday evening, at Far. well Hall, under the patronage of Grand. Commander 8. Corvmve Juop, K. G, O, delivered s speech in donunciation of the Republicani party which will fairly comparo in bitterness with any of his many oxcorin. tions of $ho Demooratio party. In this speech Mr, TruMpuLy was guilty of saying soveral remarkable things, for in. stances ‘That party's [Republican] abuse of power wna o loss flagrant than its corruption. It dlsregarded the Constitution and tho law, whenever it aulted its convenience. Therd was a positivo atatate that no military ofticer should bo appointed toa civil office. Indeflanco of that, tho President had ap- pointed military officera to clvil poaltlons in the White House, ~ United States Murshinls wero an- thorlzed to appoint doputics without llmit, to bo pald out of the United States Treasury, for tha purposs of controlling elections, under tho pro- tenso that the Fifteonth Amendment sanctioned it Itauthorized no such thing, merely declaring that thero should be nio discrimination on account of race, color, or prevlous condltion ofservitude, It conferred the right to vote upon noono, Another act of usurpation was the setting up of n Govern- ment by miMary authority in Loulsians, Somo aald that this wne Grantlsm and not Republican- lsm. Tho two {uma were synonymous, meanlug the samo thing, Mr. TruswuLy, from the time tho Repub- licans attained a mojority in tho Benate, waa made Chairmen of tho Judiciary Committee, and during the War, and the whole period of reconstruction, was tho author or framer of all the legislation which is now pronounced uhconstitutional. Under some of these laws {framed by Lim and passed by Congress, men wore wrrested angd imprisoncd, and whon they appenled their cases to the Supreme Court the Judiciary Commitico was prompt with ita spocinl act teking away the right of ap- poal in all that class of cases. The Chair- man of the Judiciary Committeo went down from the Scunto to argue the constitutionali. ty of the logislation of tho RRepublican ma- jority, and so ably and eoffectunlly did Lo annibilate the Democratic objections that 210,000 was considered a moderate fee for hia patriotio sorvices, If Qongressin thoso days disregarded the Constitution and the law whonever it suited thom, the Repub- lican mnjority had a facile agent on tho Judi- ciary Committoo to framo tho laws and to defond the violations of the Constitution be. foro the courts. Porhaps thoro is no ona man in the United Btates more respousible for tho’ legislation of Congress from the be- ginning of the War until the completion of reconatruction than Blr, Lysan TrumnuiL. 'The very nut of Cougress giving tho DIresi. dent power to employ the militnary foree to prevent intimidation or violence towards vot- ors was passed whilo Mr. TrusppLy was in Congress, and, if wo misthke not, was ro. ported by his Committee and spproved by him, Mr Tawvmuit thought proper in his speech to denounce ** Ropublicanismm aud Grantism," and Lo say thoy were synonymous terms, when he knows full well how unwar- ranted tho statement was, Without stopping to discuss that subject, ft is enough to any that Gen. Guantis not a candidate ot this timo; that if tho Republican party wantedto coutinuo Gen, GaanT and his line of official conduct it would have nominated him at' Cincinnatl ; that instead of so doing the Republican party nominated quito another style of candidate, aud on a platform ns widely distinet from Grantism ‘ns possiblo, Gon, Haves in his lottor, and in the platform which he accepted, shows that he {s in favor of n radical yreform of the whole adminlstra. tive servico of lho Government. ‘To state that his Administration will be a continua- tion of Grantism is alibel on the honesty gud good uame of Gov. Haxes, Mr, TnuanuLy’s discovery, that the setting up of n Blato Govornmont in Loulsiana in 1873 waa an act of usurpation, iy rather late, At that date Alr. Tromsurt had tried his oxperiment of an independent caudidate. The people of his own Btate bad rejected him and his independent candidate. Then tho Louisiana caso appeared to him to be an vsurpation, when, under acts of Cougress framed and voted for by him, State Govern. menta hiad been oreoted and malntnined by force in all the Sonthern Btates, State Con. stitutions had Leen formed by military order, Legislatures hiad beon compelled by military forco to ratify nmendmonts to tho Federal Constitution, and to nmend nnd altor their own Stato Constitutions, Al this had beon done by legislation framed by Mr.. Trus. nuLL, with no word of protest from lifmn ; and his objection in tho last hours of hia officinl torm to the Louisinna maitor was really stralning at a gnat nftor having for ton years takon a camot or two daily with com. fort and satisfaction. Ar. Trumnury tiokled tho enrs of the Dom- ocrats around him by deolaring that becanse Mr. Lincoun did mot receivo n mnjority of the popular vote in 1360, thereforo tho Re- publican party did not put down the Re- bollion. The great bulk of tho popular vote of 1860 for Dovaras and for BeLy was givon Ly Union men. After the War beguu, all these porsons united in a support of the Re- publican Administration in tho prosecution of tho War. Thousands of thom nctnally united with the Republicans, and have and are now nacting with that party, No man has ever protendoed that the army of the Un- ion was composod exclusitely of the men who voted for Livcouy in 1800, or that tho party has mnever had any other members. The country, fucluding in that torm all porsons except those membora of the Democratic party who opposed the War, supported the Ropublican party in the Gov- ernment and in Congress in the prosecution of the War to preserve the Union. Tho Anti-War Domocrats, North and Sonth, did not support the Republican Administration in prosecnting the War, and are now, as they were then, opposing the Ropublican party, They look upon Mr. TruanuLL as n desertor to their camp, and we supposo foel townrds him accordingly, Mr, TroMnurt must have afforded amuse- ment to the veteran Damocrats around him by his declaration that tho Republican party now was not the Republican party which ex- isted while ho was a membor of it, from 1864 0 1871; and that the Democratio party of 187G is in no respact the samo party which Lo loft in 18G4, which for 18 years he de- nounced, and which liad cost the country so many lives and 80 many millions to keop in subjugation. The vanity that suggested that durifig the last 22 years both parties hava baen profligate, corrupt, and trensonable, ox- cept only when he belonged to them, was gorgeous. It was equal to anything that Hensy Cray Dean or Dax Voonmees over expressed. Mr. Tnuanuzs, was virtuous in denouncing the Republican members of Con- press who wera suspeoted of sharing in the Credit-Mobilier frands, but ho omitted— forgot, perhaps—to omphasize this wicked. ness by telling the story of tho statesmon who grabbed the back-pay plundor, — “THE MIBSISSIPPI PLAN" IN TEXAS, Tho * Mississippi Plan"” is working well in Texas. A fow days Since wo referred to the details of recent Democratio logislation, by which it is pessible to bring imaginary charges against colorad Republicans, convict thom of folonies, sentonc them to the Peni- tentiary, nnd then sell them to the ox-slave- mastors for a torm of years sufficient to sat. isfy tho sentenco, thereby not only remand. ing them into n temporary slavory, but also disfranchising them and disqualifying them from sorving on juries. 'Tho packed Con. fedorate jurios, Lowever, canuot work fast enough to overcomo Republican majoritics, 0 *“The Mississippi Plan ” has been put into operation. Tho Dallas City Union Intelli- gencer of the 1Gth inst, has narratives of the murder ocd massacre of Republicans upon every page. Wo lnve already ro- ferred in theso columns to the cowardly mur. der of ‘J. 11 Bavomuax, the ex-Shoriff of Wharton County, while lying in his bed, H", ‘wasa a courngeous Union officer, who had won his promotion by bravery, and, after tho closo of the War, scttled in Texns and was elected Bheriff. That ho was an honeat officer is shown by the fact that the Demo- crats havo not beon ablo.to find any fraudu. lont act committed by him while in offlce, Aftor his term had oxpired ho followed the quict accupntion of farming, and was widely known nsa friend and counselor of the ne- groes. After the murderous onslaught by Democrats upon the negroes at Eagle Lalo, their frionds camo to him for advice. Ho counseled - them to apply for warrants sgoinst the murdorers, and his counsel has cost him hislife, On tho 11th inst. four Ropublicans were Lilled in Golind County, A fow days since thu Sheriff of San Patricio County, s Republican, was shot dead while attending church. Tha colerad people’s chmrchos in Refugio County have beon burned. A correspondent of tha Goliad News (Domocrat) recently recorded the murdors of severnl colored Republicaus, adding that thoy had beon *¢ sent to tho hap- py honting-grounds.” Wirsua 1L, Sneus, o Ropublican of Burnot County, was taken ont of his houss on the night of tho 13th inst. and hanged for no other offouse than tha expression of his political opinions. From every part of 'Foxas comes the nows of Ite- publicans murdered upon the highways, hanged to trees, shot in their beds and nt their firesides by gnngs of Tildenites, In ‘Westorn Texas especially, o reign of torror exiats, aud any officer who intorferoa in be- half of Inw nud order is at once shot down by tho Democratic mobs. The way nogro riots are manufactured is thus shown by {ho Intelligencer: = 2 Desperatoca and worthless white peoplo seck difculties with and kil one or more frecdinon, and, to protect themaelves from punishment, they arouse the wholo country with crivs of a negro insurrcction.

The Herald places too heavy n burden of rosponsibility upon Gov.

The New York Sun chuckles over the an- nouncement that * Fighting Jor Hooxen” is for Tiupey, but will the Sun, or Fighting Jox Hooker, or any one clse, explain why ? Hoorer is n soldier; Trupey has nover been aroldier. Hooren fonght the South; Tir- DEN defended it. Hooszen fought to put down secossion ; TiLoex openly claimed that tho South hnad a right to sccedo. While Hoonen was doing evorything in his powor to close tho ,War victoricusly, Trizoex wns doing cverything in Zis power o provent such n resulf, Fighting Jos HMooxrn never found a more insidious enomy on the battle- flold than Titoey. Thomon whom ha met wore brave men, who woro willing to fight or die for their opinions,- TiupeN, who ba- lioved in the right of secession, remnined at homo and worked in safoty sgainst Hooxen, by making speeches, and circulating docu- monts, and framing resolutions in National Convontions to the effect that the South was right in its doctrine of sccession, and, of course, that HooEer was wrong in at- tompting to coerce them to stay in the Union; moro than that, that after fonr yoanrs of war, HookeR was a failure and had dono nothing, ‘Fhis was TILpEN's treatment of Hooxen and of all tho other offieors and soldiers of tho Unionarmy. He never con- tributed a cont from his immense wealth for the relief of Ioonen's wounded soldiers; nover uttered a word of cncourngement or sympathy for thom: on the other hand, in. varinbly rofused to contribute of his money or to attond any meoting called for tho pur- pose of-sustnining the offoris 8f the Govern- | ment or encournging the troops in the fleld. Tho Sun says: *‘Gen, Hooxen was nmong tho first to tender his congratulations to Gov. Tmoew,” We do *not question the truth of the Sun'sstatomont, but the mystery to Hooren's soldiors and frionds will be to find out why ho congratulated Trmpew. TipEN cortainly ‘nover congratulated him for anything that ho did a8 n soldier; on the other hand, was mora disposed to damn him for fighting ngainst the Confederates, Why dogs this gallant officer congratulato TruoeN? Ia it for his successful defrauding of the rovenuo and deliberato perjury? Is it for his associntion with Boss Twrep in stufing ballot-boxes? Ts it forhis success in manipu. lating tho Credit Mobilier and defrauding the atockholders of the Pacific Road? Is it for his grent ability ns a raflroad-wrecker? Is it for his counection with Tammany? Is it bocauso he helped to steal the Republican voto of tho Btato of New York? Is it be. causo ho is an advocate of State-Soverignty, with the implied right of sccession? Is it because bo used his best effort to overcoma Hooxer and Hooxzn's soldiers by a cownrdly firo-in-the-rear? If it is not for any of theso reasons that Hooxmn congratulates Trrorw, will the Suzn inform us what ¢s the mysterious reason? There must be some causo, not apparent on the surface, why a gallant Union Gonoral shonld consort a socosaionist, THE OITY GAS BUPPLY. The gas controvorsy has beon sotiled so far aa the North and South Divisions of tho oity aro concorned, covering about ong-halt the territory, and including about one-half tho streot-lampa and the bulk of the publia buildings, Mr. WaTriNs has accoded to the terms of $1.50 per 1,000 feot, and tho Mayor and Comptroller have nccopted his proposi. tion to supply gas at this ratetill May 1 next, without prejudico to the eoxisting contrnct. Tho Mayor and Council aro entitled to the gratitude of the people for the courage and porsistoniey with which they have followed out tho plan agreed upon, and wo think Mr, ‘Wartnixs and his partners are also entitled to a shara of tho gratitudo, ns they have un- doubtodly beon notunted in part by their local pride and interest in Chieago. The compromise will do moro to establish good fooling betweon tho pooplo nud the Wargrva Gna Company than anylhing that has oc- currod for years, Mr, Brruinas, of tho West Side Compauy, gives no sign a8 yot of his willingnoss to como down to tho samo bnsis, but we pre- sumo that ho will do soshortly. Ho isalso a citizen of Chieago, has enjoyed n rich harvost from his franchise, aud ought to bo as anxious to oarn tho good will of tha peo- ple ay the managers of tho other Company. It is cortain that gas can be manufactured as cheaply on tho West Sido asin tho North and South Divisions, and thero is no reason why his Company should be paid more than tho other; indeed, while the other Company was o heavy losor by the fira of 1871, Mr, Bruuwvas' Company was henefited thereby, and its business Incroased. The pluck of the present Connell leaves no doubt that ofl will be aubstituted in the street- lamps of tho West Division if Mr, Birrinas doos not relent, and he shiould not court tho resentmont and ill-will of his own patrons, - Jor tho priyate consumers will surely follow tho lend of tho clty. ~Wua trust he will be ‘guided by reason in the matter, and not force tho city to extremitios, After having sottled the gns controversy, the present Council will Lhave about com. ploted the work of rotrenchment to which it was pledged when elected, and will havo ar- ranged to save probably more than $1,000,000 of the oxpenditures laid out for the remnia- der of the prosont fiseal year, Wa think this will convineo the people of the wisdom of olecting honest mon and good citizons to the stowardship of tho city's affairs, and give the bummers o permanent conge in Chicago politics, In aits frautio effort to defond its courso as the Confuderato organ in this city, the Chi. cago Yimeshas noglected to state with that frankuess which oharacterizos its attacks on private oharaoter the reul motives that have brought it back inte the party traces, 'Tho fact Is that one wing of tho UConfederate party (TiLpex's) ropresonts the old State. Bovereignty hierusy, right of sccession, right of rcbellion, nnd five-in-the rear Copper- heads, the ZWmes supported all during the War, whilo the other wing (Hexpricrs') rap- rosents tho Penoreroy ropudistion doctrines which the Z%mes also supported (hrough thick and thin until the American people pro- tested against it fn 1868, When both these l old loves nre Lrought back to the Times in the slinpo of the Domooratic party, no wonder that it takes on the harness and works with its formor partisan zeal and uuscrupulous- ness, Dut it can’t expect at the same time to retain intelligent Ropublican readers by a pretonse of independence. [ Gt — THE FOURTH CONGRE3SIONAL DISTRICT. Wo understand that Gen. Iunrunur hes mado n proposition that the State Contral Cominitteo sholl decide betweon him and Mr. Latunor in the controversy that hae grown out of the Congressional nomination in the Fourth District of this State, His plan is that tho State Committeo shnll exam- ino tho record of the varions steps in the preliminary conteat for the nomination and the record of the nominating convention, nnd with this data decido whethier Mr, TLartunor be the nomines, or Gen. Huntnor the nominee, or whather both shall retire. Thoro ara some objections to this plan, One is, that tho Stato Oontral Commiitteo mny declino to have anything to do with the Cou- gressional nominntions, and tho Republican volors of tho Fourth District might abject to tho interferenco of said Committee, no mat- tor what tho decisjon shonld be. Another Is, that Mr. LaTnzor stands before tho people ns tho nomines of tho Republiean Conven- tion, nnd they may claim that Gen. Hunr. nut, s n candidate befors tho Couvention, should abido by its choice. It isvery unfortunato that theraisa seri- ous achism in the Fourth District, which, if not healed, may not only cost the Republic. ans a seat in Congress, but lose them enongh mombers of the Legislaturo to jeopnrdize o Sonatorship. We cannot beliovo that Gen. Huniour intends to push the quorrel to exe tremitios and split tho party strength in that glorions old Republiean district. ‘The General's friends may foel aggrived that hio was not renominated, but they must not forgot that ho has held the meat for two terms already, and has recoived many honors at thoe hands of tho Republican party. Tho trouble in the district will —not be cured by running the Goneral as o holter and thoreby clecting the Troey snd Hexoniogs candidate. Under all the circumstances, it seems to us that the best and wisest thing to be done is for the Republicans of the Fourth District to unite on Larmmnor, and for Hunivur 6 counsel and encourage this course, and for tho dis. trict thus to give its old-time Ropublican majority. P — ‘The particular goddess of justice who holds the scales in Judge GenALp’s Court at Waco, Tex., must have been delighted with the prompt. action of that Judgo in a sorious cmergency on the Oth fnst. A uegro was on trlal, C. B. Pranxg, County Attornoy, acting for the prose- cution, and Judgo Maxzy for the negro. He- fore thoy had procecded far with the case, Judge MaxEy struck the County Attornoywith a cane. The County Attorney hurled & chair at Judge Maxey. Tho Bherifl interfered fubebsif of the County Attorncy, when a friend of Maxey knocked the 8heriff down.
