~ THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1876—SIXTEEN PAGES. L < 5 ot safficiently separate parties; and, to in- gare support for Derreris by the people, gn enlargement of the suffrage Wes promised gs a reform measure. It was this promise nnquexn'nnnb]y which secured the large ma- jority for the Ministry which has been re- turned to the new Parliament. It remains ow for the Government to cary ont the re- form that Was promised, and here the Ital- jans are likely to find the most serious ques- tion that has confronted them since they be- gan to strive for & united and Constitutional Government. The Pall Mall Gazette, com- nting on the situation, says: mxe( ungn:be denicd that there is, on the face of {he facts, a sirong casefor some alteration in the Flectoral law of ltals. ‘The constituencies include sitogether little more than half a million of regie- tored clectors outof & population of 27,000,000 sdupwards. This is almost as far removed from the democratic conception of representative gov- erament 28 the French Conetitution for which AL Grizor €0 unenccessfally struggled a generation 320, At the same time, it is impossible not to see £t the Ministry and the party of which 1t i the; organ are Tusbing upon unknown dangers S proposing to enfranchise the masses of B Demantry a0d of the popilace in the towns. The Italion Government has joined in batile with the forces of the Church, and hith- ertothe Church have submitted to defeat, because the vast majority of the clectoral body, friendly tothe advancement of intelligence and the main- Lenance of national unity, has no sympathy with Clericel intrigues. But when the peasants and the Jazzaroni are admitted to the polls {n crowds, the priesthood may possibly find it worth their while once more to take the political management of the gemocracy into their own hands. Were universal gufiraze, or anything approaching to it, established {n Itsly, the sagecious politicians of the Roman pulament would find that their pretensions would be sbsolutely covered up or crushed by the fival claims of the Pope and GammeaLDL Signor Spr1a and Signor MrxcuErT, Signor DEPRETIS and Sigaor NicorERa. would have to make way for the zeslots of Infallibility orthe **Rights of Man.” e donot imsgine, indced, that Signor DzrneTIS il be so unwise 2 to plunge decply into these woables; but it ismot eusy to regulate with pre- cision the distance to which one will walk into the ses smong waves and_ quicksands. A very moder- ate messure of reform would probably be as disap- poiating 10 the Mtalian Democrats as Lord Jomx BussELL's attempts between 1848 and 1860 were ) the Engtish Radicals. If the Italian publicists have been stu- dents in American politics, and have espe- cially noted how an election on the plan of universal sudrage often gives the ignorant sod depraved classes the balance of power, they will recall a traditional proverb of their race,—Festina lente. They will find it better even to let 8 well-meaning Ministry totter on sccount of supposed bad faith than rush into the slough of universal suffrage with & mass of priest-ridden ignorance and incendiary vagabonds in larger numbers in proportion 1o the population than any other nation has todeal with. Before adopting universal suf- frage for the male citizens, they had better wait until we includo the women among the voters in this country ; if they find that we canlive with all the men and all the women- voting at all the elections without regard to property or educationsl qualifications, they may then risk universal male suffrage, per- haps ; but it will not be safe for them to try it yet. i Sau TILDEN, not liking the cold reception ac- corded to CLARESON N. POTTER'S proposition toelect two Presidents and begin another civil war, has caused that gentlemsn to publish a crd in the New York Herald saying: 61 WarL StreET, NEW YoRrk, Nov. 22, 1876.— Tothe Editor of the Heratd: Sir—Permit me to al furtber space of you 1o say— Fint—That my letter published this morning 1ras 5ol meant to be uken a8 representing any Tiews but iy oun. CLARESON N. POTTER. The scheme seems to have been thrown out ssafeeler, and the public not *tumbling to it Porrer shoulders the responsibility of slone hatching this serpent’s cgg. If the plan 1ad received popular approvel, TILDEX would ‘Lave been willing to father it. T g The people of Michigan have voted on three smendments to their State Constitution, and adopted them, viz.: The anti-liquor-license dause is obliterated by 58,057 yeas to 50,636 nays. Saloons may hereafter be licensed. The increase of salaries from $1,500 to $2,500 for Cincait Judges is carried by 63,146 yeas to €487 nays; the change of time for voting on amendments from November to April is carried by 50,477 yeas to 20,858 nays. Thus all three of tee proposed amendments are indorsed by the popular vote, and will become s part of the Btate Coustitution Jan. 1, 1877. Less than balf the voters voted on either of the amend- wents. .

The bride wore a satin dress richly trim- med with Brassels lace, and the bridal yeil was of the same material. Among the presents were many from the Royal family and from the nobility. A German publisher in Leipsig announces a series of ‘‘American Humorists” in ten volumes, em- bracing Mark Twain, T. B. Aldrich, Artemus Ward, and Max Adeler; another of **American Novelists, " including Henry James, Jr., and Bret Harte, who s also honored with two volumes apart from either series. Faure's projected concert-tour in the Freach provinces has been postponed in consequence of the extraordinary condnct of-Adelina Patti. She lesrned that Faure had mapped eut a certain route, and then had the incredible mesnness to precede him by a few days, taking the best of the season in each town. The tenor was consequently forced to sbandon his tonr. The North American Review has been sold, it is e1id, by James R. Oszood & Co. to & young New Yorker named Rice, who has gone to Boston to live. Hewill beassisted in its editorship by the Rev. J. H. Ward, of Marblehend, Muss., anditis nnderstood that the political articles will be pre- pared by President Scelye, of Amherst. Mr. Rice Lias heretofore had no experience as & writer or publisher. Bayard Taylor informed the New York Goethe Clubon Wednesday night that Goethe did not smoke. He abominated smoking. He tolerated the use of the pipe by Schiller and Knebel, and, of conrse, by Carl Angust; but otherwise he was very severe in denonncingit. Goethe himself was af- terwands quoted by & member to the effcct that ““with tobacco, gariic, bed-bugs, and hypocrites, he should wage perpetual war. The London Athenzum, in a review of the ¢*Popular History of the United States,” says: +*Mr. Bryant nas written some excellent poetry, 2nd has made for himself not only 2 name, but a large fortune, as jourgalist and newspaper pro- prictor, while Mr. Gay may be everything that his friends suppose; yet it seems rather rash to afirm that the History which they have produced must beastandard work, simply because their names figure on the title-page.” v In a recent spcech Mr. Froude surprised his Rad- ical friends and delighted the Conscrvatives by showing that larze estates were a good thing after sll. Those who disliked them had better go to Australia and buy a thoueand acres *‘under the same flng, the same laws, and the same language.” Lately he has had his say about education, and de- lighted the practical school. *‘Human life, " said he, **is action and not speculation; culture wonld be best arrivedat if it was of . more special kind, and young men came tothe university to be taught those branches which hereafter would be of use to them.” Le Gaulois has a frightful tale of the death of Williams Cobb, 2 supernumerary at Drury Lanc ‘Theatre, who was burnt to death by the fgniting of 2 piece of phosphorus which he had stolen and thriftily hidden *‘between his stomachand his shirt.” What Williams Cobb wanted with a plece of phosphorus in that particular spot it is perhups unnecessary to inquire. Sufiice itto say that his flesh burned like fat cast upon the fire, and, sl- though he preserved the lucidity of his mind—ns well he might—he died in great agony inabout twelve hours. The moral of this ower-true tale, 28 discovered by .the New York IWorld, isthat young tupes who come across stray lumps of phosphorus should mot put them under their shirts. The Nation has another shrewd opinion to utter in regard to the recent production of **Sardapa- palus ™ at Booth's Theatre {n New York. 1t finds itself unable to admire the announcement of the managers that this play ** was submitted with deep respect to that portion of the community who be- lieve the theatre is dignified, and its ligher mis- sion fulflled, by making all itsllustrations truth~ fnl, beautiful, and instructive.” The fallacy fn this, 28 in all realistic performances, is the as- sumption that imitation is the object of dramatic art. **The effect that the pursuit of realistic ef- fectshasin the end,” says the Nation, ‘‘is to call the attention of the epectator to tle fact that after all they are nnreal.” The Italian bailet in ++ Sardanapalus™ is an illastration of the general principle. A London correspondent sends the following curlous intelligence: **The will of Mr. Sampson, Iate city editor of the London Zimes, shows that he died worth a fortune of $300,000. Yet he stated in & letter, after the trial which Jed to such ruinous exposures of him, that he was *a poor man.’ It is o carious butundoubted fact that ke starved nimself to death. Many stories were afloat about the strange manner of his death, but this is the true ome. Hehad lived for many years with his sleter, to whom he was attached to a degrecseldom known or read of. She died 8 few weeks ago, aud Mr. Sampson refused from that momentto eat anything whatever, and in spite of all the persua- sions and remoustrances of his friends and physi- cians he persevered in his determination, and so died.” - i HOTEL ARRIVALS.

GREAT BRITAIN. . THE IRON TRADE. Loxpon, Nov. 25.—A memorandum farnished thé Foreizn Office by the President of the British Iron Trade Assocation states that a large proportion of the furnaces are out of blast, and a stiil larger proportion of the forges and mills for the production of malleable iron are closed. Thousands of workmen have been discharged, and the wages of those retained ma- terially reduced. Distress is'the greatest in the rail-making districts of South Wales aund North of England, but is also very great in Stafford- shire, the mdland countics, and .Scotland. The depression is not confined to England, but is felt on the Continent with almost equal severity. Germany and Belgium are the great- est sufferers. France isnot so badly off, but even there prices are extremely low, and trade is evidently in a critical and unsound condition. ROYAL BIRTH.

The last train to cross was on the 10th inst., and soon after telegraphic communication as broken. and was uot resumed for several days. Through communication between Panama and Aspinwall had not been restored when the steamer sailed on the 17th inst. The inhabitants of Gatun bad taken refuge in the church.

Sax Fraxcisco, Nov. 25.—Private advices re- ceive® here render it probable that the revolu- tion in Lower California reported yesterday is the beginning of an insurrectionary movement in favor of Porfiro Diaz, which will spread through that State. There are scarcely auy Government troops there to oppose the revolu- tionists. S GARTSHERRIE. ‘What It Means and Where to Get It. ‘The introduction of an article into any mar- ket that has a tendency to lessen the cost of & necessity to the cousumer should always be Lailed as a public bepefit. Competition in the sale of almost anything will enable the pur- chaser to drive a better bargain with the pro- ducer. The recent sale in large quantitics of anthracite coal at very low figures in New York has started the speculator on a fresh scent. He talks of a corner on coal, and how it will double in price between now aud—some time. e realizes more than the consumer does that conl will never touch those prices_again. It caunot be mined and put through the breaker alone for those figures. 4 The efforts of the Watson Coal and Mining Company to introduce their celebrated Gart- sherrie coal into this market will, we llof;, meet with the success itdeserves.

Quixcy, 1., Nov. 25.—A curious bit of news comes by mail from Palmyra, Mo., regarding a relic of the days of the Rebellion in that State. Some days ago & man named Jeflries, residing at Palmyra, was out in the woods with his chil- dren hunting nuts. Or looking iato & hollow trec one of the children saw something which, when taken out and examined, proved to be an old puint-keg, in which was inclosed an earthen jar containing §583 in gold and silver. The finders kept the matter quiet, as they supposed, but one of the children let it out at school, and from thence the matter came to the ears of Isaac and Jacob Johnson, who reside in the neighborhood. These gentle- men came and examiued the treasure and had little difficulty in showing that they (the John-. sons) had concealed it, to prevent its c;\Pmre, on the day before the Rebel Colonel, Porter, ‘made his raid into that regionand took Palmyra, in1862. They did not attempt to find it for some time after it had been concealed, and when they did were unable to identify the place. The owners were glad enough to present $50 to the child who discovered it. ————————— . DR. E. R, E. CARPENTER. It will be gratifying to the many old friends of Dr. E. R. E.

How They Have Established Themselves in Every Sec- tion of Our City. And the Many Adventages They Offer the Consumer Over the Wholesale Yards, There is no class of business men whose in- terests are in reality more closely allied with those of the gencral public, nor any who deserve more hearty support, than the retail coal mer- chants of our city, and yet scem to cxist in the minds of many of our citizens most mistaken ideas in “regard to their position in the trade,” as well a8 concerning many details of the business, notably that of their ability to carry on o paying business with- out giving the consumer short weight. In view of these circumstances, & concise statement of facts, the result of careful investigation, must prove of interest to every reader of TH TRin- UNE, and will serve to disabuse the public of any such erroneous ¢mpressions. In the first place, to an association of the retail dealers is due the credit of having last winter forced the combination known as the Hard-Coal Exchange to yield, and, had it not been for the breaking up of this glant monopoly, which es- sayed to control every mine contributing to the fuel supply of Chicago, our citizens would have been at the mercy of a few operators, and com- pelled to pay for their cosl any price that micht be asked. The retail dealer Dbas also mony advantages over the wholessle yard, which; when ointed out, must be readily perceived by all. 'y contracting his coal with the wholvsale yard early in the season, deliverable at hisown convenience, the retailer is only required to keep a stock on haud suflicient for small orders, drawing upon receipt of orders beyond his stock from the wholesule yard, and supplying his patron at the same pricc charged by the wholesaler. This he is enabled to do by having 2 certain margin_ of profit cstablished between himselt and the wholesaler, and the advantages of this system are twotold, securing to the consumer the best and cleanest coal by varticular care in selecting and screening, and_ guaranteeing full weight in every instance by reweighing, and thus checking any ‘mistake of the wholcsale yard, for it is for the intcrest of the = retailer to get full weight . himself, and _ hi customer receives the bemefit of this. Then, again, the retaller can supply every kind of Tuel,—coal. wood, coke, ete.; and i prompt- ness of delivery, also, Lie has 'every point in his favor,—a fact of the utmost importance to & large’ class, who are unable to buy in_ad- vauce of thelr immediate necessities. Not- withstanding the fact that for the past two years & npumber of the wholesalers on South Side bave endeavored to draw to therf®ives the reteil trade, the less pretentious, but more convenient, retail yards are daily increasing in strength and numoers, and in no better way can we show bow impor- tant an element they now form in the busivess of our city than by the appended listof the more prominentand respunsible firms in the differeut residence sections: R.
