The question under consideration was that which formed the subject of tha argu. ments on Monday ,of Messsrs, Evanrs and O'Covon, and it is undorstood that the five-hours' session was dovoted to the expression of views and the delivery of speeches by tha Congressional Lranch of the Commission, the judicial branch taking no part in tho discussion, It is expected that the further hoaring of argu. mient and the deliberations of the Commis. sion will Lo concluded #o na to ndmit of n decision of tho Florida caso beforo the end of the week, It is genorally conceded that the decision will rest with the Justices, who linve n3 yet given no intimation of their views, Republicans, however, predict confi dently n deolsion restricting the ndmission of evidenco to tho nction of the State Can- vassing Donrd. understated, the abuscs growing ont of the existing statute regulating the change of venno in criminal cnses, There scems to be a regularly-organized system for assnring immunity to tho minor criminals who are brought before the Justices of the Penco. Tho gamblers, confidence men, and vagrants enjoy specinl bonofits, and it is no wonder that tho police linve becomo discourngod in their efforts to suppress thesa classes, Whon o gamblor or a vagrant (which {s usually a designation for a thiof not canght in tho act) ia arrosted and brought beforo, ons of the regnlar Polico Justicos, he immodiately takes a chango of venua o a Justice's Court not desigaated especially to try polica cases, aod there ho finds s Conatablo who will fix up n jury to suit the emergency, or, if actu- ally found guilty of the charge, he is let off with an insignificant fine. BMany of the Justices outside of the three Polico Courts hiave winked at or enconraged theso practices bocauso thoy get fess which they would otherwise lose. Tha city suffers not only in the security the vicious classes feel under this practlce, but siuce it is forced to pay n large amount overy year in additional fees. It hias an arrangemont with the regular Police Justices, undor which it pays them o certain anuual salary and they remit all fees; but when a change of venue is taken tho new Justice oxacts his feo from the city. The Comptroller says that thoso extra focs amount to mora than the flnes nssessed in cnses whera a change of venuo has been taken. It hasbeon suggested that the law sliall require & change of vonno from oue Polico Justicoto be taken beforo another TPolice Justice ; this may sufllco 86 far ns the Justico Courts afe concerned, but the whole watter of changing venuo needs overhauling, —— The versonal nctivity of Mr, TiLoeN in all things pestaining to his own interesis was strongly exomplified in tho late Presidontial campaign. o adroitly managed the politics of New York 6o as to have bimself elected Governor of that ftate; snd ns Governor advertised himself to the wholo country asa grent Reformer, by his exposure of tho canal frauds, aud by his promiues to prosecute nud punish the guilty, ANl this, it is now known, was.n mere ndvertising dodge. Ie nt onco entered upon a thorough canvass of the caunlry, leaving nothing to chiance, but em- ploying trusty akonts ncting under his por- sonal instructions. When the St. Louls Convention met, the efficnoy of TiLpEN's previous labor wns shown in his prompt nomination, and the adoption of a platform written by himself, From that tims to the closo of the election ho personally managed and directed affairs. Even tho torchlight processions in New York City n fow nights before the election wero organized, paid for, and personally fnspected by him. Ifis direct participation in the Oregon case Is now estab- lished. A vacancy in the New York City delogation in the House was filled, by his procurement, by the cloction of Davin Dun. Lep Freep, and his personal interferonce in the proceedingy of the Arbitration Court is shown by the omployment of Cnanves O'Coxon s his special counsel, This fact isso well understood at Washington that O'Coxon's statements in his argument are regarded as baving a peenliar siguificance, Ho labored carnestly to impress the Conrt that the Touso of Noprosontatives was veated with tho power and charged with tho duty under certain circumstances of electing a President, and that that body was the sole and excluslve judge as to when tlat House was called upon to exerciso that power sud perform that duty, Waa this n warning ora notico that if the Ifouse should not be atisfied with the finding of the Court, it retained tho power confided to it*by tho Constitution of determiniug for itself when tho occasion existed for an clection of o Preeident by that body ? Was this an indi. eation that Mr. TiLpex, if defeated by the Court of Arbitration, intends to call upon his faithful Lenchmen in the House of Topresentatives to make him President any- how? It is suggested, also, that the proviso in. sorted in tho Compromise bill, saving to all persons whatever legal rights, if any they iy lave, to prosecuto these rights at law, was inserted there though TsLoexs procure. ment, that, in case the judgment of the Com. mission may be ngainst hiw, and the Honse should fuil to eleet him, ho may sus out s writ of quo warrantv, aud prosecuto hiy claim to the offico of President, It is under. stood at Washington that bhe intends to do this, The clause in the bill, saving the logal rights of the parties, really amounts to noth. ing. The mighls, whatever they may be, could not be taken away by the law, and would have continued io exist whethor this saving clause was inscrted there ornot, It may be true, however, that Ar, Tirpen does intend to prosecute a suit for the office in caso the Commlssion shall decide against lim, Ho is nmost litigious man, and has set bis beart upon being President, and will nover give up #o long as he lives, The act creating the Board of Arbitration makes the decislony of that Commission ting} unless disapproved by both Houses of Con. gresy, and is at least conclusive upon the two No. on tho busy exchange, in the halls of State? Honses of Congress, legally and moraliy, and wo have no iden that Mr, Truoex could mus- ter a corporal's gnard in tho House of Rep- resontatives to reject tho award of the Com- mission, and willing to attempt to elect T1z~ DEX by the volo of the States in the Ionse. Public opinion is too unanimous and out- spoken on this subject to permit oven the most desperate politicians to attempt to” or- ganize any opposition to the decision of that Commission, oxcept as provided by the law itself, " AFTER THE BALLY LirrrerreLn’s bomerang seems to be fly- ingin all directiona with disastrous results, 1t has retnrned upon his own head on several ocensions, inflicting severo contusiona; bnt on Monday Iast it scoms to have hit Lrsax Tnmmoin and Jony M, Pazaer in a bad place.

It is a pity that Reformer Lrrrierietd did not give us the dotails of that festive evening at Mrs, DPat- TERSON', for it lenves us freo to imagino much that may not have taken place. Fancy plctures the two statesmon, worn with the toils of the day, tired of listoning to stories of bulldozing, and fatigued with tho obstinacy and porversity of tho Returning Board, armying thomsolves in swallow-tails, whito chokers, and immaculats kids, skipping blithely down to PatTenson's, with bouquots in their button.holes and Jockey Club on their korchiofs, to make a night of it, after tho manner of thoso irropressible youth of onr own city whao ocenslonally go to Oshkosh for reliof from their nrduous dutles at home. ‘Wo sco thom onter Mra, Parrenson's halls of dnzzling light.

Wo sco them, oxhausted with tho danco, gallantly bringing refreshments to their pauting partners, And thus the night wenrs on, with the tummning of the cheerful banjo and clack and rattle of toe and heel. But at Inst tho odors grow fainter, the lights burn dull, the music diesaway. All plonsures must have an end. The new-born day be- gins to paint the East, and our heroes of the ball return to thoir hotels to resume thoir distracting conflict with the Ieturning Board, Uundoubtodly the ball was a’ high.toned affair, but, sinco theso atatesmen wero in Now Orloans to find testimony to overthrow the righta of the negro, was it exactly falr that thoy should be Mrs, Patrensox's guests and partako of hor hospitality ? DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, Davio Duorer Fierp has gono to Con- gress o4 the recognized sttorney of Mr. TiLoex and the chiet counsel of the Demo- cratic party, Under ordinary circumstances no one would ever lave thought of sending Lim to Congress, nor would lie himsolf have centertained any such proposition, His New York practico as the lending lawyor of the great publlo thioves has been too profitable and cougenial to him to leave room for po- litical aspirations, But just at this time Mr, TILDEN's caso soomed to require the peculiar tactics to which intriguing criminal lawyers aro nccustomod to resort, with the bravado, bullying, and clicanery that are used In de- feuding desperate cases. Davio Duprey FizLo was the very man of all othets, He had manipulated the affairs of the Ene Railrond jn its most prosperous days of plunder, 1o had engineered tho tricka of Jay Goorp and Jie Fisx through the courts, and had procured for them the sanc. tion of Jawful construction. Ife had learned, it judoed he bLad not taught, all the judicial devices by which the corrupt Now York Judges prostituted the courts to iho uses of the railrosd and municipal thieves, e had stood valiautly by tho defense of ‘T'ween, 5o loug as the old rascal was willing to pay out a portion of his plunder in attor- ney’s fees, Desporate discases require des~ porate rewedies, and Davip Duprey Frewn was the man for the occasion, He might have gons to Washipglon as the confessed attorney of TiLvEN in company with OuarLes 0’Coxon, but it is possible in that event Mr, 0'Coxor might have drawn out ; besides, it as known that Mr, Frerp's peculiar talents would find no scope before a Commission composgd of members of the Supreme Court and ‘he most distinguished Senators and Represoutatives. 'To be useful, ho must be in a position where trickery, sharp-practice, blufl, and the poor arts of cross-examina- tion are brought into plsy. The place for My, Freup wad st the head of o partisan investigating committee. The op- portunity offered itself 1n the vacancy created by the eloction of Byuru Erx as Msyor of New York. Fievp was desigoated by TiLnex to fill it, and eleoted by Tammany Ifall, o et off by the first express train, and was im- mediately located where it was supposed ho could do most good. Fizum haa not disappointed his employors in ono rospect. 1le has been ns z:alous in Dehalt of TiLpEX a8 he over was in bohalf of Tweep or Jix Fisx. But it may have beon an error to employ him, after all. In spile of the lower tone that a Democratio majority lins established in the House and the Houso Committeas, Congress ia still a vory difforont field from tho courts over which Barwarp and Oanpozd nsed to preside. The indlea- tion is that K'1zeo hias beon over-zealous in tho npplication of his methods, Ho has not been nble to properly assimilate the work of a shyster with the proprioties exacted from a Congresaman, e has got tho privi- leges of a momber and the dutics of an at- torney inoxtricably confused. o has jgnor- ed the fact that conduct which was tolerated as Tweep's lawyor would not pass the approv- ol of Congressional nssocintes. This confu. sion has betrayed him into a good many em- barrassments, ‘The very first day he appenr- cd before the High Commission, Judge Crirrorp, the Prosiding Justice, fonnd it neceesary to git down on himvery hard, In his bulldozing of the Commwittee which ha is running, and in flagrantly violating his priv. ileges as n momber. ho has attracted the cen- suro of his Domnocratio asgociatos, It wns n trick eminently worthy of Tweep's and Fise's lawyer Lo causo er-parte testimdny in on uncompleted ease to bo printed in psm- phlet form and issued under the names of the Committeo, as if it wore their official record; but ho was mistaken In supposing that lie conld do this with. out eoxposura or prolest. Two of his Democratic associates on the Committeo, Messrs. Knorr and Spanks, were quick to declare that this course had been takon with- out their knowledge or consent, and to die. approve of it in nnmistakable torms, It was a disgracefnl procedure, as it was dosigned to mislend tho Presidontial Commission na crediblo testimony ; in this respect, thero is renson to believe that it will prove a failare. ‘We have no doubt that Frerp, in o secrot session of the Committeo, whined like a cur in pleading with the Republican members of the Committeo not to bLring him before the Houso for censure. The men who are most barefaced in fraud are frequently the most cravon when run down and threatoned with punishmont. 'Wo hope it is not trne, how- ever, that the Republican members of the Committeo have consented to spare Mr, Trr~ pex's conspicuons attornoy. They would have no right to do so. The dignity of Con- gress is not in their keeping, and the whole nation has too much interest in having the privileges of memborship properly respected to consent to any immunity in FieLn's case, Bpeaker RANDALL 1iag beon essentially unfair to tho Republicans in this whole case. Thero aro only two Republicans on the Special Electoral Committeo,~—Messrs. Lawnence oud Buncnanp, Mr. Buncmanp is not a law- yerand docsn’t pretend to be, and lie was tnken away from his duties on the Ways and MMenns Committeo, whore he has been very useful for years, and called to protect the Republican side in o case involving abstract problems in law, nice questions of evidence, and experionce in cross-examination, The Topublicans have hnd no protection in com- mittee ngainst Divip Duprer Fretn's Old Bailoy tricks, and if ho has so far overreach- ed himgelf as to disgraco Congress and lay himself open to the consure of his own side of the House, ho certainly onght not to bo protocted by tho forbearance of 3ossrs. Lawnexce and Burcmanp, The country ought to know just what sort of porson Mr. TiuoeN selectod to tako caro of his caso in Congress. . HOW TO SETTLE A FRESIDENTIAL ELEC- N, The Unitod States of Colombin, the most northern political organization in Bouth Americn, aro just now passing through the ordeal of n civil war, growing out of o dis- putod Presidential election. The Ropublic consiats of nino States. Last yoar the Presi- dential clection took place, and tho Liberal party in threo of the States ‘on the Atlantio side rafuded to acoept the candidate of the party. The Liberal party was thus divided ; but ono wing, in charge of the Govornment, by means of o subsidy, worked a union with the opposition, called Conservatives, and the result wos that Paxa was counted in ns PTresident, ‘The Conservatives, however, soon ropented of their bargain, and a rovo. lution waa begun Inst Jhly in tho States of Antioquin and ‘Tolima by the Conservatives, 'The Liberals wero in power in the Biato of Canes, the principal city of which is Cali, a placo of 20,000 inhabitants; but the popula- tion iy described as a pecullarly hard one, gonerally of mixed blood, The Spanish population includes the mercantilo, agricul- tural, and industrial classes, and aro known ns Conservatives, and are, called Goths by the Liberals, Over theso Conservatives the Government and the muling party exerclsed a sovero discipline, extorting of them thelr monoy and property, and redncing them to tho condition of slaves, hundrods of thom being confined in prison, On the 18th of December a small body of armed Consorva- tives mot by concert, solzed the Government barracks, with the arms and ammunition, naud afler a struggle of two days captured the city, 'Tho commaudor of the Liberal forces in that part of the country was Gen. Prxa, who was absent on an expedition at the time. 'Assoon ns he heard of tha affair he organized a force of adventurers, numbering frow 2,000 to 4,000 mon. e visited all the places on his route, plundering and robbing and getting recruits, and at daylight, Doc. 24, he rcached Call. He soon overcame what littlo resistanco was made, and gave to Lis mob of followers the privilege of sacking tho city, for fiveiours, Tho mob begun their work, but was not limited by any number of hours. Thoy continued their ravages until they actunlly sauk prostrato from cxcessive dnnk. Thoy wunlered not only Conserva. tivos: but Liberals; they made no dis- tinction between their victims; they plun. dered every louso, including the churches and tho bank; thoy assaultod all the wowen alike, draggiug them from their Lonses and treating thewn with all tho beastliness and cruelty of flends. At the end of twenty-four hours tho city aud sll the country sround was a picture of ruin and desolation, and the 190D resting only becauss of exhaustion, QGen, Peva is a popular man in that conn. try, and, whilo the Governwent of the Re- publio has disavowed his scts, it commends his loyalty and continues him in command, The fact is, the Government approves the murderous punishment inflicted by him, hoping it will bo w%phd 83 & warn. iog by the opposition in all other parts of the country, and is also afraid of Prva, who might beo ablo 4o tarn the great mass of armed Liberals into an army to over- turn the Federal Government. As it is, Pzva, tho author of this atrocious outrsgy, is mas- ter of the situation, and can dictato his own terms to the Government of which ho isnow o sabordinate. ‘These,peoplo are habitnal revolutionists. Though thero has boen comparative ponce in those Btates for soma years, it only required adisputed Presidential election to plunge tho whole country into anarchy, Presiden. tin! elections have been the curse of Mexico, of Central America, and of all tha South American Ropublics, These peopls have no rospact for law ; they resort promptly to tho sword for the settlemont of all disputes, and to rovolution whenaver a Prosident is de- clared electod who does not suit them.. That plan once begun, becomes tha genoral and national one ; and the Unitod States of Colom- bin, having returned to the old wny, itis possible that civil war and snoh scencs ns wers enaoted st Cali will continue for tho next generation. The man who proposes civil war ns o substitute for law, and nan remedy for anything, is an enomy of man- kind and a reproach to civilization, . COMPULSORY EDUC. IN WISCONSIN. Our ottention has boon directed to n bill introduccd into the Wisconsin Logislatnro to enforcoe tho nttendance of childron nt school. Wo should say, after reading the bill, that it ia renlly designed to bring the subject into contompt. If not, thon it displays a singu- lar ignorance of the onds to Lo attained by compulsory education. Its main provisions are that ovory child botween 7 and 12 yenrs of nge shall attend public echool at lenat sixty dnys in tho yoar, and that the paronts or guardiana shall pay a penalty of 10 cents for every day of non.attendance in the case of each child, unless excused by the teacher. Such a bill in no wiso conferms to the neces- sities of compulsory education. To begin with, it is radically wrong in seeking to com. pel an attondanco at public schools, 'Tho in- torest of the Stato only demands that overy child ghall reccivo o cortain amount of olementary - instruction fo fit it for the duties and rosponsibilities of citizon- ship; but thero is no roason why children should be compelled to attend publicschaols if pnrents ara able and willing to provido their children with education at private schools, Thers is no desiro on tho part of those who favor compnlsory education to do- privo parents of thoe privilego of sending their children to dogmatlo or any other schooln if they prefor to do so, Again, this bill does not requira suflicient inatruction,— providing omly for sixty days' attondanca ench year botween the agos of 7 and 12, An attondance of at loast 100 diys every yoar botween the ages of 7 and 15 should be on. acted. Tho English system requires school attendanco up to 1# yenrs, but further requires that the children ghall pnss sn oxamination in’ the rudimentary studios befors thoy aroe exempt.

But the Iatter may docline & or 10 per cont, and tho formor rise to par with gold, The rodemptlon of tho paper is the only way to make and and keep it exactly on a Jovél with sflver, If this were dono, silver would at once flow {nlo the, clrenlating modium, and reinforco the volumo of currency to tho ex- tont of tho cofnage of silver dollars. Tho President’s iden s to carry up the value of tha paper currency to par with gold, and he thinks thut could be done Ly funding $160,000,000 of greenbacks into 4 per cent forty-yoar bonds. It is quite probable that ench would be the effect, be- cause it would make greenbacks go scarce that they would be equal to gold in value. The country can absorb a certain amount of legal-tendor papor and keep it at or near par by virtue of its paying and purchasing qual- ities, and its uso for the redemption of bank notes. Just what amount can La thus main- tained at par, without redemption in gold, cannot ba known without trial. The pro- posed four.forty bonds would necessarily Le ot par with the paper currency, and therefore would - circulate and answor the purposs of monecy in all the larg- or trausactions, s0 that such funding of greenbacks into those bonds would not produce any approotable or injurious con- traction of tho money of account. On the contrary, it this funding schemo would have tho effect of clovating the groenback to par with gold, thon all the hoarded gold would come into common use as part of tho circu. lating medium, just -as ons secs it in En. gland. Dr, Linpzusax, the Director of the Uanited States Mint, estimates that there is now in the United Biates $150,000,000 of gold and $45,000,000 of sllver, including what haa been coined into subsidiary money. ‘What is wanted is to get this gold and silver into clrculation, and meke it circulato ps money alongsido of tho paper currcncy.
