Speaker Ran- DALL cannot now take any other ground without stultifying his reconl. In our issno of yestordsy was printed nu- other rtatement from a patient in the Conuty Hospitnl, retting forth tho infamons abuses and cruelties practiced jn that Luilding. The writer described the insutficient and un- clean food, the filthy bath-tubs and clothing, tho inhumanity with which the patients nro treated, the neglect of attendants, the nn. nceessary mortality, and all the other abnses and bardships which ‘make that institution a den of horrors aud abode of eruelty.

Upon & tomperata raview of the law and the facts, it will bo discovored that those who undertook to steal Tmnry inte the Presidency by stealing nn Electoral voto in Oregon failed to got awny with tho booty, and avo left in tho plight of burglars who, having broken iato the bank-vault and forced the safe, find it ompty, 'Uho fact that Gov. Groven issucd n cortificato of clection to Croxty, the Democratic candidate, who, as shown by the official roturns beforo the Governor, was defented by 1,174 major- ity, is of no more consequence than if the certifieato had boon issued to & men for whom nol a vote hod been cast. ‘Tho one thing rottled by the roturns boyond all per. edvonture was that Croxix hnd failed Lo roccive n mnfority of the votes cast, and was not cleoted, but defonted. Upon the re- turus Gov. Gnoven had but ona, duty, which is provided by the statutes of Orogon as follows (Chap. 4, 'Titla 9, Soo. G0, Guneral Laws of Oregen) : **‘Tho votes for Electors shall bo given, recvived, veturned, and ¢an- vassed as the same nre given, returned, and cauvausad for members of Congress”; and in rogard to mownbers of Cougress, nnd conse- quontly ns to Electors, Titls 3, Sec, 47, pro. vides: ** ThoGovernorshall grant a certiticata of olection to the porson having the highest | numbar of votes,” Hee. 41 of the same chap. ter onrets that ** In all elections in this State the person having tha highest nnmber of votes for auy oflice shall be vlected,” Upon theke statutes tho sole duty devoly- ing upon the Governor upon receipt of the returns wan to'issuo certitieates of olcotion to the candidates roceiving the highest number of votes, 'Lhnt done, the powers of the Gov- arnor in tha premises wore oxhansted, and the questian of the eligibility of the candi. date, it raised, would remuin to be detor. mined by the Courta, But that question Gov. Grovrn, in pursn- anco of the Democratio conspiracy to ateal the Prosidency and tho oftices, proceeded to dotormine ofi-hand, upon the er-parig show- ing meroly. and without any inquiry accord. ing to judicinl forms fo establich whother Warry, the Llector feceiving n majority of the legnl votes enst. wos or was not ineligibles and, in detlance of all Qdeency, Ginovin promptly deeided that Watrs was ineligible, Grauting that this wsurpution of Judicial powers by the Governor wus not an vaurpaticn, and granting nlso that it was the faot that Warrs was inuligible, tho deter. miuntion of that fuct simply created a va. cancy in the ofice. Upon this poiut the Oregon statute {8 oxplicit. Chap: 14, "Title | 4, Sce, 48, General Laws of Oregon, finds that upon * the declaration of & compotent tribunal, declaring vold nn election or ap- poiutmont,” the ** affice shall become vacant.," , But, to consummata the theft proposed, Gov. Groven comploted his usurpation of Judicial power Ly deciding that the ineligi- bility of Warta eleeted Cnoxin! ‘This de- cision, no less repugnnnt to law than to common eento and invariable precedont, and whiok was contrived to cheat tho peaple of Oregon out of their ballots, is the sole ground upon which CroniN hasn shadow of clain to hold asa Presidential Llector, If Watte was, in fact, fueligiblo, thero was n vaeaney,~that was ull, CuoNiN was out of . the ease, not baving recelved u majority of the votes cast,”—~no watter for whony cast.

Thero are now probably two or three Jumdred thousand mon of shiftless charncter lioping to get ofiico under TrLDEN, sixty or soventy thousand of whom must bo provided for.

They are engaged in no busi. ners that can be nffectod by cither of theso caurcs, Voo lazy to work with lands or Lieads, they roek an office in which others can do the work, whilo they, arrayed in pur- ploand fine linen, may hang aboit public places smoking fine cigars, drinking choice wines, and exhibiting themselves as public wen, doing no lalor, and no nore honest than - the law allows, and searcely that, ‘I'o make room for this class of political dead- beats Mr. Tiuoew, if he is elected, will empty all the oflices in city, town, and vil- lage throughont the United States of thou. sands of men who have become experienced in their duties, and are performing them to tho entiro satisfaction of the public. To npprocinto tha injustice of this system of civil service in our national politics let us npply it to our municipal polities. Suppose that at the last city clection the Republicans had thrown out of employment all the Dem. ocratic policemon, firemen, streot-clenners, and other city employes, oid all who were not in tho intorests of sumo particular Al- derman. It would bave romoved from the polico force, for instanco, at least two-thirds of tho present number,and filled their placen with greon men. What offect would thiahave bad upon the city? Wonld it not have de- moralized tho ‘Wwholo metropolitan mervica and crippled the whole adininistration so that the publio would have lost all confidenca init? Most certsinly it would, and yet this “is exnctly what Mr. Truoex proposes to do, in case. ho s eleotod, in the nn. tional servico. Iloproposesto turn out evory employe of the Government, from Cabinet officors down to letter-carriers or tho janitors who swoep tho Post-Offico floors. It is this infamous aud sbominnblo practice which taints onr wholo system of politics with cor- raption, which multiplies villainies, and en- tails upon tho country tho present rotton and demoralizing systom of civil sorvice, In England, only "tho pends of Departments having nuthority nro changed. The rank and filo of tho publio service remnins un- changed. It novor mixes in politics, bat de~ votes itsclf oxclusively to the work of the Govornmont, and 1etains oflice dnring life and good bebavior, This eliminates public plunder from tho English systom, whilo in this couutry the nirife for office is.simply nnd solely n strife forspolls, notacompotition for tho purposs of performing tho pnblic sorvico faithfully and for the bost nterosts of tho country. ‘Therois probably hardly n person who voted for TrLpeN, becauso he wanted change and **reform,” who has stopped to roflect whata gross and ernel outrnge it is to turn ontof omployment thousands of honest, capable, aud officiont men, for no cause excopt that they did not Trawl for Trroex, and wirework, and plot, and cheat, and steal, and bulldoze for tho De. mocrncy, Thero must ben reform in this watter. . The country cannot long stand theso periodicnliy-recurriug shocks nnd straing growing out of this abominablo sys- tem. It hns already imperiled the wnfoty of the country, It has brought to the sufaco tho hot-honded Oastenoxs and Conses bawling for war and secking to oxcite in- stead of quicting the pyblic mind, morely ‘becanso thoy apprehond that the spoils are slipping from their grasp, It is paralyzing business by making thoe futuro uncortain, 1t ininjuring the laboring wman by cutting off omployment. If thore wore nothing at stake but 'Truney and his Cabinet aud a fow hundred hoads of Departments, the country would net be disturbed ; but under the pres- ent clvil-servico system the shock is felt in the smalleat yural villngo, and comos homo to evory citizen, Whon the civil servico shnll ccaso to bo used ns nu cleotioneering. waching, then we mmy expeot tho end of corruption in politics aud of disturbances of tho publio pence.

FISH-CULTURE IN THE NORTHWEST, Wo print this morning nn secount of Sern Greex's carly exporiments in Fish-Cnlture, written by himeclf. The narrative ia not meroly interosting in showing what splendid results havo boen achieved from ently efforta that wero hooted and laughed at, but valaa- ble in dirccting timoly attention totha cheap- ness and facility with which tha waters of the Northwestern Statca mny bo kept woll- stocked with o great variety of flsh, thus sna- taining nu important industyy and rendering ono of tho bost articles of food plenty nnd inexpensivo. Tako tho’cse of shad alone: The Fish Commisalonersof the New England States ngree that the species wounld soon have becomo extinet bad it not been for the arti. ficinl propagation thereof, which produced thom in such quantitiesas to reduco the prico from $18 and $20 to $3 per hundred. Tho thorough succoss of tho process lns been demonstrated with salmon, trout, whitefish, brook-trout, shad, herring, pike, and Unss, and may be applied to all kinds of salt and fresh water fish, for Iakes, rivers, aud brooks, Indeed, it is by no menns cortain that tho saltwator fish cannot be succesafully propagated and made to live and thrive in frosh wator, and the timo may como when tha citics of the Northwest will havo, their shad withont sending to tho sca- const for them, In somo of the Northwestern States tho subject of flsh-cultura hag already recoived proper consideration. Last yonr tho Stato of Wisconain approptiated #10,000, and alrendy thera 15 loeated at Milwankeo ono of the lnrgest establiskments, if not actnally the largest, in the country, which is supply- ing Lake Michigau and tho mumerous lnkes with which tho map of Wisconsin Is dotted. Many individual establishments for flsh-onl. turo higvo also beon wado to supplement this Stato movemont, snd notably that of N. K. Tamnank, Jsq., at Goneva Lako, which ina very short time will again’abound in fish supplied from this sonree, and of greater va- viety than it originally afforded. Michigan s doing something in the snme direction. And now It is timo that Tllinois should do its share, Tho Legislature shonld not omit to give tho subjoct & wroper consideration this winter, aud make such an approprintion s may ho necessary to provide the proper ap- plinuces. A fow thousnud dollars aro suffi- clent to build the housos and begin opern- tions, From thaton tle jncronse is cortaln and almost illimitable.

Lot of thy Northwest, has o special concern in it development. Tt Is to be sincerely hopad that Congress will find rome thu to give to the considera. tion of some olher sithjects than that of couuting the Providentinl vote. The Sceve- tary of tho Wrensury hias called tho attention of Coungross to the impending famine in sil. vor curroncy, Silver, which within a com- paratively short timo was selling in London at 47} ponco per ounce, is now uelling at 55 pouco per ounco.

Tho old silver dollar is worth a fraction over the groonbnck, aud the subsidiary ailver is approximating to the samo vdlue, The Bocrotary of tho T'reasury points out that tho amount of silver author- {zed (o Lo coined is ‘wholly inndequate to the demauds of the carrency, Alont $12,000,- 00 of tho fractional currency hag boen re- doemed, and it is probable that the amouut still outstonding does not vxcced n liko sum, the remainder having Leen lost in the long use of fourteon years. 'I'he notes now in use are torn and soiled aud to a large oxtent un. fit for hnndling, '"The Secretary eatimatcs that thoe coluuizo of small uilver should Le in. crensod to £80,000,000, which is in no wiso oxtravagant, Ile advicos nlso that it bo miade legal-tonder for §10 fustead of 25, to which porhaps there ia no nerfona objection. Hut nll this does not sufficiontly meot the wants of the country, The country needs thereturn _to the colnnge of the silvar dollar of the old standard, and a legal-tondor for all purposes, ns it wns bofore 1873.

Bilver {s nn Ameriean product, and there is noithor justice nor round policy in prohibit- ing ita colnnge fn any quautity in which it may bo dolivered at the mint. These aro mattors of general and immediate impor. tauce to the couniry, and it is to be hoped that Congress will find timo to give a fow hours' to tho consideration and pnssage of this urgent legislation. In a veory briof timo wo will have tho silver eqnal to and groater in valuo than the greenbacks, and then thero will hoppen tho inovitable hoarding of the coin, and n gonernl famine of small currency, which even now ix not equal in mnount to one-third of what the country enn nbsorb, and this with silver piled up hy tho ton, nak- ing tho privilege of boing coined, A New York gentlemnn suggests n new solution or nnew complication (whichever it may provo to be) for the Presidentinl troubles by quoting tho following provision of the United States atatutes : ‘Whenever any Stato hna neld - an election for the purpoee of choosing Elcctors, and has fafled to make n cholee on the day prescribed by law, the Electors may be appolnted on a subscquent day ln such manucr ns the Leglslature of wuch State may direct, ~[Title 111,, Chap. 1, Sec. 1M, ‘The theory advanced on the basis of this provision is that overy State must have a voice in every clection, and that, if Congress hag the powor to raject the vote of any Stato becnnso there hirs Leen o fallure in tho elec- tion, then tho count of the Electoral voto must ba postponed till the State in question shiall bave appointed other Eleetors. In this count the appointment of the new Electors is nt the discration of tho Legislature, which may appeint them, or authorize the Gov- oruor to appoint them, or eall a new election for their appointment. 1int, evon undor this theory of the law, we can't seo that matiers would be helped much, for-in South Carolina two Legislaturos would sob np a claim to the nppainting powoer, and it would only bo by submission to the peopla of the Btate in a new election that the matter conld bo fairly dotermnined. Inthat case we fancy Bonth Carolins wonld not be a very comfortsble Stato to live in pending the result. But who isto decide whethor thero has been on elec- tion in tho Btate or not?
