Tho nnnual saving of expense in this connty will be about $45,000, and tho Baving in the other 101 counties will proba~ Dly run the whole up to $100,000, and per- hops more. Now is tho time for the impe- cunious and bankrupt organs to interfere, as they didin the whisky cases, and protest against auy interforonce with the rightto plnnder the publie. Gov. ITaves left Columbus yesterday nfter- moon nt 1 o'clock for Washinglon, sccom- panied by his fumily and o small party of friends. The President-clect made a brief farewell nddress at the depot whils awaiting tho daparture of the train, expressivo of his complote sense of tho uncertainties ond difficultics he was nbout to encounter, nnd of his hopo that by works of penco romething might bo doune to- ward tho re-cstablishmont throughout the entire nation of o real aud hearty attachmont to the Constitution nnd Union. Our dis patches chironiclo the progress of tho Presi- dontial party toward Washington up to o ldito hour last night, nnd tell of the great crowds of people who assombled along the route, and of the eafe and pleasant continua- tion of the journey. Gov. Ifares will reach Lis destination this morning. Statistical juformation at once instructive end comforting will be found in a letter which we print this morning from a New York correspondent, showing the remarkable progress made by the United Btates during the past four years in the increase of cxports and the decrease of imports, Whils England bas lost her export trado to an extent that his furnished miatter for gloomy considera. tion Ly her commercial economists, our own country hos pained enormously in this zespect, while at the same time . we lave, through lLomo monufacture and a general policy of retrenchment, re- duced our patronage of foreign exporters from %655,000,000 in 1872 to $426,000,000 in 1876, 'The figures afford encouragement aliko to farmers and manufacturers, and there would scem to be smple réason to an. ticipate n period of unusual prosperity in thi near future, Nunierous decisions by the United Btates Bupremeo Court of vast importance to the agricultural and commercial intorests of the Northwest are given this morning in our Washington dispatches, Tho decisions cover several different poiuta touching the power of a State to regulato railroad and warchouso charges, but in cach case the same principle of law is maintained by the Supreme Court— ¥iz. : that u Btato may by its legislation fix the maximum rato to be charged for the transportation of passongers and freight within its limits, In the warelouse cade tho declsion of the Lilinols Supreme Court afirming the con- stitutionality of the law to regulate ware- house aud elevator charges {s afiirmed, as are alsothe decisious of tho State and Federal Courts in Wisconsin, rolative to the power of the Biate to regulato and restrict the rates of railroads passing through that Btate,—in other words, to regulate inter-Stato com. merce. Tho graiu-producing interests have thus gained a great victory over the graine carrying corporations. The Demacrats of the Senate bava earned & proud record of statesmanship and patriot- s in their uniform refusal to joln the, Houso obstructionists in their dishonorable and revolutionary conspiracy to defeat the completion of the Electoral count. By thelr sction of last ovening, in refusiug to partici- pate in the shameful scheme of objecting to tho votes of Virginia and West Virginia, thoy Pyt an effectivo veto tpon the latest snd wiost disreputable device of the House wivority to protract the wrangle over the rewmaining HStates. As soon as it became settled that it wonld be impos. slble to prevent the counting of Verwont's vote, the obstructionists at once set sbout preparing objectiona to the Virginias, but the Dowosratic Senators prowptly beld a csucus sud decided not to sign thesa objections, which, without the siguature of at least ono Benator, could not be presented in tho Joint Convention. In this way the count was ex- pedited, and Wisconsin, tho last State on the list, reached before the Houses separated sguin for tho last time. 3 ———— ‘The Chicsgo produce warkels were more active yestorday, aud generally firm.

One hundred dollars in gold would buy $104.37} in greenbacks at Lho closo, at times that it would hava been botter to havo let these fesble Governments fall. Al all oveuts, the President has concluded to withdraw his orders that the military shall preserva the stalu guo, nnd this leaves each Government at liberty to assert and onforca its nuthority as best it can, Itis not likely that Gov. Packarp can mske a forciblo de- fense, and hence the Nicmonts Government will become the Government de facto, No authoritative explatation is made of Prosidont Haves' policy. 1f, however, he shounld mccept the situation as ho finds it, with the Nicmorrs Government in posses. sion and in operation, he will probably not undertako, nt loast immediatoly, to reverso it. Ho will, by the adoption of this policy, nnite in tho support of the Administration tho whole Bonth, If it will obliterate the color- line in politics, and lead, na is generally an- ticipated, to the organization in all the Houthern Btates of political partics on new lines of separation other than of color, then that great measurs of perma. nent pacification will be & national bone- faction. It is possible that for a time there will bo a division in Republican circlesnt the North, and that the carpet.baggers will en- deavor to organize an opposition ‘to this policy ; but the country generally will rejoice at tho restoration and re-establishment of peace, and will rojoice that at the South the rtace or color lina in politics hns been super- seded by now parties organized on other prin. ciples, and acting with their political associntes ot the North, While no one is authorized to spook for tho President, we think the coun. try may rest nssured that President Haxzs will earry out the policy he mapped out in his admirable letter of acceptance, in which ho snid the grent thing needed by the South whna the establishment of honest local Gov- ernments in thoso Btates, having the con- fidence of the paople governed. and securing to all their political and eclvil rights and liberties, pended upon to rally nlarge proportion of | one of the Democrats who was on the com- the peoplo under its banner.

Another Long Debate in the Illinois House on the South Park Reso- lutions, An Effort Made to Reconsider the Vote of Tuesday Ordering Investigation. Mr, Rowett Calls Mr, Hopkins o “Falsifier"—No Gap in Nature Created. The infornal cunning of the legal adviser of Fisg, GouLp, Twxep, TiLxN, et al., crops out in the production of the bogus Vermont cerlificate. In addition to its utility in ss. sisting tho obstructionists in their desporate struggles for delay, the fraudulent return was intended to open the door for the intro- duction of Duprey Fizrp's bill to facilitate the big Presidentinl lawsuit that Troex was to havo brought in n court of his own choos- ing in case the bill became s law, nnd it was intended to compel the BSeuate to pass the bill ns the prico of tho congent of the ¥ouse to the complotion of the Eleotorgl count. Failing to got the bill up for consideration during tho session of the Commission on the South Carolina case, and being debarred by thelaw from intro- ducing it before the countis finished, Fierp relied upon the Vermont trick to send that Stato to the Commission and thus enable him to bring up tho quo warranto bill, This motive, added to the consideration of delay, Lelps to nccount for the fnrious desperation with which tho revolutionists prolonged the torrible struggle of yesterday.

TItis not probable, howevor, that the necessity will orise for such a procedure. At 12:30 this morning the Houso refused to take n vocess until 10 o’clock this forenoon, aund at 1o'clock the two-hours' debnte on Wikconsln began, with the understanding that a vote would be reached, the Joiut Con- vention again nssemble, and the voto of Wis- conein bo counted for Haves and Wareenen before the flual termination of the joint session, would require thirty-two distinct trades an xfic.cupnuons to be carrfed on at tho Peniten- ry. if possiblo, of vovolution, Thoy have noth- ing to gain even if they succeed in postpon- ingthocount.

Thoy have turned the House of Itepresentatives into a brawling, disrepu. tablo scene of ‘Paminany tactics, Failing to securs re-clection, to capturo plunder, or to lnaugurate TiLoey, they have deliber- ately and desperately sought by every dis- reputable and unlawfal means to prevont the count, and, if pogsible, plungs the country into the liorrors and avarchy of revolution, Thelr tiime for mischief is short, however.

Pacanp, of Loulsiaua, Lut has anuounced his purposs to direct Gen, Avaun, now in commaund at New Or. leons, to withdraw his protection from the Pacxanp Government, and confine the use of the troops to the provention of bloodshed, Nicmorws {s tho name of the other Governor, who bas a Government in oporation, nud par- tially in poiscssion, at New Orleans, and so far the President has declined to recognizo cither, directing the troops to protect both from hostilo aggressions, aud slso to pro- servo the peace. ! It is understood at Washington, and un- doubtedly by the President, that the with. drawal of the troops from the maintenance of the Pacxanp Governwment iuvolves the immedate downfall of that Government, snd the as fmmedistaoccupation by tho Nicioy Governmeont, When, therefore, President Haxes onters oftico on Mouday, the only de Jucto Government in Loulsiana will be thut of Niononrs, and the question submitted to him will be whether ho will recoguize that Government or proceed by force nud arms togo back to tho Legiuning, reinstall Pacxany, expel Nionorrs, and undertnke to run the Government of tho State four years moro by force. It is impossiblo to suppose that President Granr would, within three days of his own retirement, take this or any othor action tliat might prove embar. rassing to his successor, Affairs in Loulsiaoa have been an ondless sourco of trouble to Gen, Guant, During his olght years of servico tho Htate has beou In moro or less: turmoil.

The eame was trus of the Kxtroaa Govern- ment, The colored population, though num- beriug over 70,000 voters, s not u warliko one, Their long condition as slaves, thoir traditional subjection aund submission, has unfitted them for auy foreible resistance to the whites. The white men whosupport the Paoxanp Government are largely if not main- ly those who aro styled carpet-baggers, and, though these constitute but,a suwall per cent of the population, thoy hold most of the of- fices, to the exclusion of the more numerous negroos. ‘Tho great bulk of the native whito population is opposed to tho Pacxazp, as it was to the Kxiroos Governmont, and op- posed, not as ono political party is opposed to arother in tho Northern BStates, but op- posed to it on grounds of iueradicable, per- sonal, sud race prejudices,—an oppo- sition that if left free fo nct would expel that Government by force. The weakugss—we may say the inubility—ot the State Governmeut to assert sy authority, or to defend itealf even ngaiust violeuco, bas been & conmstaut source of trouble to Gon. GraxT, who doubtless thinks THE DEMOCRATIO PARTY, We directed attention yesterday to an artl. cla which appenrod fu the Chicago Z'imes of the day before, vecapltulating the incongruous olements of defent in the Democratio party, and urging it to disband forwnlly, as it Lhad already inforwmlly goune to pleces. It has been tio habitof the Chicogo 7'imes periodi- cally to rovertto this proposition, os the Democratic party has suffered defeat from timo to timo; tho policy is not original, but merely in imitatiou of tho New York Herald, which has given the Democratio party tho sate advice every time it Lns been defeated during the last twenty years, Nevertheless, the party has not disbanded, and there are o multitude of good reasons for saying that it never will, Tho Tory nud Whig parties of England HLinve lasted over two hundred yoars, with an accasional variation in nawe, oud sometimes an offshioot on an issue of ' trunsitory charnc. ter. Bothero will always be two great par- tes in this country based upon fundamental theories of political divergence, of which the Democratio party is pretty sure to Le one, 8o long as we have a dual form of Govern- ment,—State snd national,—the one con- stantly seeking to encroach upon the other, and each reslsting in turn, the Democratio purty has traditions wlich will attract alle. gianco from large nwnbers of citizens on prisciple. It dates its organization awey back to the formation of parties in this coun- try, aud ever sines it wos re.formed under Jaczsoy, after o period of defeat, it has battled for the doctrine of Htate Rights, It urged this {ssue even to the extont of war, and, whilo four yeags of hard-fought battles left it badly shatterfd, it still had strength, Loth duriug and after the War, Lo press its claims for ndministeriug the Government.
