The Ohio Demoernts in the Iegislature, after o long and stormy canens, woro unabla to agree npon a eandidato to be voted for in opposition to SraNixy Marrmews. In- namuch as the nomination now wonld be o pledge of mupport by the party in the next Legislature, which will choosa Mr. Marrmews' successor, strong efforts were made in behnlf of Gronaz H, Pexpre- TON, but the requisitc number of votes conld not be enjoled from the Demoeratic members from the rural districts, who re- fused to bo convinced that that little affair of tho Bergrar family and the Kentucky rail. rond claim had ever Leen thoroughly ex. punged from the record of Gentloman Georae. which protracts the Cuban warfare. the sitaatior. now. It ought to Lo tha policy of Mr. Evanrs to insist upon n revision of the Cuban cus- toms laws by the Spnhish Government in such manner ns to reliove the United States of tho unjuat discrimination against ns. This of jtself will go far toward remedying the abuses from which the Cabans suffer and bringing about native nequiescence in Span. ish rulo. The establishmont of practical freo trndo or rociprocity botweon tho United States and Cuba would give Cubs such re. lief that resistanco to the Homo Goyvern- ment would ba less obstinate and the op- pression of Spanish {axation less burden. gomo to the Cubans. Mr., Evaprs' policy should be to state the Moxsor dooctrine vory bluatly to the Spanish Government, and let it undorstand that it is by suffrage of the United Blates that Spanish authority s exer. cised over neighboring torritory, The de- mand should be mado for foir commercinl treatment in return for American scqui- esconco in Spanish dominfon over Cuba, If 8pain is wise, the nllurlorndmnlagu of theso concessions to the United States will induco it, oven at the tomporary sacrifico of a part of tho oxtortionate rove. uue it oxacts from Cuba, to comply with this demand. ‘But if it continne ity usttal short-sighted, obatinate, Bourbon policy, it will bo time for the United States to consider tho advisnbility of rocognizing the struggling Cnbana and calling the Spanish Government {o account for the long list of broken promises, upon the faith of which former disput:s have been settled, This is e The Committeo nppointed by the Common Conncil to select and zoport at the next meeting of the Council the names of judges and clerks to servo at the cnsuing city and town election is n guaranteo that the best men in ench precinot will bo chosen, and that ballot-box frauds will bo impossible. Tho soxt thing of importance is that thesa best men named by the Committeo shall every ono of thom serve, no matter if their privato business interests should suffer o littlo in conscquence. It has been amply demonstrated that with honest men in chargo of tho ballot-boxes, the bummer and dovil-lsh cannot bo counted in, and, as the Jjudges and clerks to bo appointed by the Common Council will receivo the ballots for both city and town officers, thcre is an ox- cellent prospect of a square clection. e — ———— Tho specch of tho Sultan at the opening of the Turkieh Parliament Yyestorday was Inrgely dovoted toa wenk npology for the present deplorable condition of the Ot toman Empire, coupled with the cus- tomary promiscs to do better in fo. ture. There is no lack of professions of MR, PHILANTHROPIST STOREY, The editor of the Ohicago 7'mes in his day has ployed varions roles of moro or loss roputo in this community, but nover nntil now has he nppeared beforo the publls as n philanthropist. It is the firat time that an opportunity kas ever offered fisolf to writo him down, like Anou pey Apuza, ‘as one who loves his follow-men, is philanthropy bas broken out in the form of a strenuous opposition to any amend- ment of the present tax laws so that the back taxes can be collected in Chicago. Let us cxamino tho natnre and extent of this philauthropy, Thonisessments were levied in 1878 and 1874, undor the provisions of the city charter and laws, s they had been for thirty yoars provious, and tho money was ex- pended for city purposes. Whether it was expended cconomically or extravagantly, or whether A, B, or 0, who expanded it, wero cals, does not enter into the question at all. It was lovied in pursuinco of law for the support of the city—for the payment of debt, for the bulld- ing of bridges and sowers, for protecting the clty from firo, for looking nfter tho publio health, for edacating the childron, aud for all the noeds of the clty, Theraupon a large number of heavy proporty-holders clubbod togother to avoid paying their taxes ns long 88 thoy conld, Shrewd lawyers were em- ployed to find flaws which would prove suf. flciont busis for objections. Finally the Supremo Court wad persunded to docido that the law under which tho taxes were lovied conflicted with the Constitution, and tho tax. fighters, ropresenting two millions and a half of taxes which the city hod exponded three or four years ago, which it hns over sinco been owing, and upon which it has paid interest aver since, refused to payup. Al the rest of tho community, tho Chieago Times' philonthropio’ editor included, Lad paid their taxes, AMr. Pattantanorier Bronsy's proposition of grace, mercy, and peace comes in at this point. In tho fulluess of his sympathy, with bowels widely distended with compas- sion, yearning to do somo ono thing before b goes honce that shall commond him to the tender remombrancos of tho tax-fighting ole. ment of the communlty, he proposes to do- nate these two and ahalf millions to the poor oppressed capitaliats, and land-owners, and bondholders of Chicago, who have ro- fused to pay thelr taxes and slare their part of the burden of supporting the city, in which thoy have the samo privileges ns others and havo had the same benofit from the money exponded. In other words, Mr, Pouxtoeorsy Stonzy, in the gushing tenderness of his heart, is willing to pay the §0,000 which is - his pro portion, for instance, of tho deficit out of which tho city has been cheatod, nnd pro- pones, by ‘rolevylng tho two and a half millions upon thoss who have already paid their taxes, to allow these tax-fAighters to dend-beat their municipal advantages ond privileges for o period of four years, With thia kindly and charitable object fn view, ho opposes any amendmont of the law by which A renssesament cau bo made, and the tax. fighters bo compalled to pay over what they owe, This proposition to allow one-tonth of tho community to dend-beat its taxes out of the other nino.tonths is one of tho rarcat {nstances of philanthropy on record, and it i fortunnte, perhaps, that it 1s rare, else Ar, Pamnantunorist BrosEy might in course of time inaist that the community should aléo pay hiis butcher's sud grocer's bills, If it bos to pay thelr taxes, there Iy no specially good roason why it should not also pay their family expenses, and feed nud clotho them, While wo admire his philoso- phy, we cannot but regret, howaver, that it is limited; that his gushing schome, which woull Jiave delighted Mioawnes and Hanoro Briurory, embraces only rich meu ; oud that while his hesrt yearns and his bowels gush over the wrougs of the rich, he fa willing that tho middling class and the poor, who cannot offord to fight taxes, shall be compelled to bear tho burden of running tho city. Much a3 wo may admira Mr, Prnix. TuROrIST SToney, and hearlily s the peaple of this city who lave ulready paid their taxos will rush forward to puy, in addition to their own, tho taxes of tho rich tax. fighters, we are novertheless juclined to test bis philanthropy by proposiug a compro- mise. If ho bo really in earncst, if his heart yearns and his bowels gush for these fellows who havo ewindled the city, as he would have us believe, lot bim select somo tax. fighter who hag choated tha City Treasury to the uxtout of his own faxes,—~$G,000 for instanco,—and pass fu his chock for that numouut. Ha will theu have dous his duty, ‘Tho tax-fighter will havo paid bis taxes in a vicarious way, ond thera will be no further clain upon bis property, If thore are any others in tho conuaunity who sre nfiticted like Mr. Pumaxtanopist Broazy, let them seleot thelr rlch tax-fightors and do for'them in the samo Landsome manuer, ‘Thore are others in the commuuity who aro not phi- lanthropists, and, having done their duty as £ood citizena by paying thelr own taxes, are avorio to payiug other poople's taxes, es. peeially whon thoso other peopls are bettor ablo o do it then thoy.

Tho bill be- fora tho Logislature ia just about right ; so far as the section making porsonal prop- erty liablo for real estato taxes,— it it containg such an one,—it s of little practical valuo, and may bo stricken out without injury to the bill, But the Logislatare must not undertake to amend the bill to make it acceptable to tho profes- fsjonnl tax-fighters who have swindled the ity out of two and o half millions, If the bill is changed to suit this class of gentry, 1t will nover colloct any baok taxes; nor do wo bolieve it s wiso or safo to change and emasculato tho Inll until Mr, M. 8.

THE CUBAN QUESTION, - Ono of tho most important and interesting problems that will be presonted to the new Bocrotary of Stato s fn rogard to tho rela- tions botweon tho United Htates and Cuba, Mr. Evanms' dealings must bo with Spain as tho lomo Government, Ou tho ono sfde, ho will Le besot with the enthusiasts who will take the first opportunity to appeal in thio name of Amcrican liberty and universal humanity for tho recoguition of the Cuban potriots as belligeronts, and for all tho moral support that canbo extended to *Cuba Libre,"” On the otlier side, ho will bo restrafned by tho conservatives who dread any forolgn complications, But there i an opportunity Loro for the new Becrotary of State to dis- tinguish tho Adminiatration bysccuring from Spain o now treaty that shall rocoguiza' the commercial claima of this cquatry, and pro- paro tho way for somothing like eqnitallo rociprocity in tho trado betweon Cuba and the United States, Tt is to this phaso of the question that 3lr, Evants should turn Lfs at. tentlon at tho earlicst opportuuity, ‘Tho war in Cuba still goes on in a desul. tory way. Dersistont porseoution on the part of tho oftlciul class, nud desperate out- lawry on tho part of the native population in reyolt, with occaslonal butcherios and con- stant cruclty on both sides, have beon going on for years, 'I'ho robels have mever dovel. oped sufficiont strougth tp cntitlo’ thom, perhapy, to rocoguition as belligorents, but it ‘is oqually certain that tho Howme Goverumout has not shown the requisite power ta crush out the rovolt and ro-outablish peace and socurity in tho fslaud, It 1s well known that the greed of Spaln and tho policy of exacting from Cuba the entiro support of the Homo Government have operated to provent an undisputed establish- ment of Bpanish rule over Cuba, [t is this policy also that has swindled the Amerean peoplo out of an cquat- and falr ehare in the Cuban trade, Four-ffths of all tho rich prod- ucts of tho island arosold to Amcrica, and yet not oune-fifth of Ouba's foreign purchoses aro procured from this country, Though tho producers avd monufucturers of tho United Btates could sell the Cubans the articles which thoy imust buyabroad raore cheaply than they can obtain them in any other conntry, Spain Las constructed and maintained otariff which virtually prolibits o divect salo of American comuodities to Ounba by discriminating agaiust American shipments. Tho result iz that tho Ataerican peoplo bave beon forced 10 pay their differencos in Cuban purchases in gold instead of products and masufac. turey, amounting to many millions yearly. Thus the peopls of the United Btates arq in. dircotly wade to contribute to the excessive taxation which Spain lovies upon Cubs, and July, 1877, hearted citizens—to como forward and pay up what they owe the city, Itisa porfectly fair proposition. Does Mr. PrizASTurorier Broner accopt ? — THE ARMY APPROPRIATIONS. Tho evil of bnd precedents in noknowl- edged ; and this truth is expreased in various forms. * Curses, liko chickens, come homo to roost,” is one form ; but the whola caso is presented by Macbeth, in soying: “We but teach bloody iustructions, which, being taught, retarn to plaguo the inventor, This oven-handed justice commonds the ingredis onts of our poison'd chalice to our own lips.” This lesson is sovarely bronght to mind by tho fact thot the late Congress nadjonrned withont making any nppropriations for the support of the army and military establish. ment of the United Btates nfter the 1st of The result of this failnre {s now nacortained to bo an extra session of Con. gross, to bo held beforo July, Tho roason why tho Army Approprintion bill failed to bocoma a law was, that the House of Repre. sontatives, boing Democratic, attachod to the bill & seotion roatricting the uso of the army by tho President for the support or protec- tion of cortain State Governmon's, especially in the Stato of Lonisiana. ‘To this restric- tion the Senato, boing Ropublican, refused ita nssent; aud, owing to tho fnability of the two Houses to agrao, the bill failed to pass. The restriotion which tho Houso persisted should be part of any bill passed for the sup- port of the army was in those words : That no part of the money appropriated by thia Bct, norany money heretoforo appropriated, shall be applied to the pay, snbslstence, or transporta- tion of troops used, employed, or to be used or cmployed, in support of the claim of Francis T.

In 1856, whon the Army Approprintion bill was under considoration, tho Republicans hod a majority in the Ilonsa of Representa- tives nnd the Democrats n mnjority in the Bonato. At that timo there was great strifo going on in Kansas, The. Democratio Gov- crnment had a Logislature and the TRopub- licans of Kansas had o Legislaturo; when tho lattor mot, a military forco dispersed tha members, Grand Juries indicted and tho Govornor arrestod tho membors for tronson, ‘The Ropublicans in Congross insorted pro- visions in the Genernl Appropristion bill for- bidding ‘tho exponditure of any money for judicial or legal purposes in Kansas until theso tronson cnses wero dismissed. Subsoe quently the Houso receded from this nmend. mont, ‘When the Army bill was taken up, Mr. Joux Buenaax, of Ohio, thon n member of the Houso, proposed a prohibition upon the nso of pny troopsin Kausas, eto. This the Houso ngreed to. Thoe Sennto rojected tho rostriction. On tho roturn of tho bill to the Honso tho SuxruaN proviso was changed to raad os follows: ‘That no part of tho military forco of the United 8tates for the support of whick appropriations arg mado by this act shall be employéd In ald of tho enforcement of any enactment of the body clatme Ingto be tho Tortitorlsl Legislatura of Kansas, untl] such enactment shall have boen nfirmed and approved by Congress; but thia proviso shal} not bewo construcd an to provent tho Prealdent from ©employing thero an adequate mllitary force, but It ahiail bo his duty to empioy euch force to prevent tho tnvasion of sald Terrltory by armed bands of non-residents, or any other tiody of non-resldents, acting ovclaiming to actas o posee comitatus of any vflicer In eald Terrltory in the enforcement of any such enactinents, and to prolect tho persons and vroperty thereln, snd upon the natlonsl highways leading to sald Teerltory, from oll unlawful Aearchod and solzurca; and It shall be.his furthor duty fo take officfent measurca to compel the ro- turn of and withhold all arms of tho United States distribated in or to wald Torrltory in pursuance of any law af the Umited States authorlzing tho distrl butlon of nrms to the States and Torrltorles. " Then onsued a strugglo botwoon the two Houses, extonding from tho 28ty of July to tho 18th of -August, which doy at noon had Leen fixed for adjournment. Tho two Houses wero unylelding. In tho Scuato the restric. tion was defonded by Mr. Szwanp, by Mz, Fuau, lato Becrotary of State, by Bex Wane of Obio, aud Hanrax of Towa, It wus op- posed, especially ns . nuconstitutional, by every Democratic Benator, inclnding BrmgLr, Hunten, Masoy, Dovaras, Cass, and others, In neither Houso was there n Democratio voto for the routriction, all opposing it &3 an un. constitutionnl intorferonce with the powors of the Presidont au Commsnder.in-Chief, and with his sworn daty to exocuto the laws, On tho othier slde, the restriotion was supported in the House by Heuvyres Covrax, the pros. cut Bonator Mormiy, of. Vermont, E. B,, Wasusunse and O, O, Wasnnuny, ond par- ticulurly Ly 3lr. Buenxan, Tho most vomark- oblo mun in tho wholo busiuess was My, ‘TrumpuLy, who supported the restriction in 1850, and who, had ke been In Congresa in 1877, would probably have voted the same ‘way. The restriction upon the use of the army proposed by tho Kepublicans in 1836 and that proposed by the Democrats in 1877 were, os legal propositions, identically tho somoy, thing, Parties have changed. Cir- cumstances havechanged. Monhavochanged. ‘The proposition of the Republicans in 1876 waa rovolutionary, It was an attempt to take from the Prosidsnt powers granted him by tio Conatitution. It was jutended to pro. hibit the exccution of the laws. The same proposition, made by tho Democrata in 1877, though it related to muother Rtate and coverod other clrcumstances, was equally revolutionary, and was intended ta deprive the President of his constitutional powers, and to prohibit him executing tho laws. The Demoeratio proposition was not redeomed, nor was its illegality extonuated, becauss it was copled substantially from that of IFGG, It Wwes an altempt fo justify a gross and glaring usurpation ou the ground that twenty years 6go the Houso had attempted tho sano thing. Iu both fustances the extremo partisanship led tho Houso to persist in dofeating the Appropriation bill, and in both instances it compelled a special sossion of Congrous. President Preacy, upon the fallure of the Army bill in 1856, issued o proclamation couvening Congress in special sossion. At thia sossion the excitemont and intonsity of feeling which had provailed was somewhat abated, and, though n Presidential clection was peading, the Ropublicans yielded, and abondoning their proposed restriction, the Army Appropriation bill was pssed. Renson, and a eolmer invoatigation of the dangers of that form of legisiation, And of giving to a majority in Congress tho power to dircot liow, and whon, and where the President shall or ghall not executo the laws, induced them to réceda from their demands. The Ropublicans, it is true, in 1860 attompted to ostdblish nmoat dangerons precedent. But in the end they nbandoned it. They there- foro escaped rosponsibility for one of the most perniciona neta of legislation. The wis- dom of thal abandonment of the doctrine that Oongress {n an appropriation bill can strip the President of his conslitutional power a3 Comwander-in-Chief is now illus- trated by the carnosttieas of tha Domocratic House to ravive it, and to smbarrass pud con- trol n Republican President in his oxecution of the law. The nttempt in 1877, having failed aa it did in 1856, will the Democratic parly at the approaching extra session have the wisdom to do as the Ropublicans in 1836 did,—abandon the unconstitutional nnd peace-disturbing schems ? —————— MORE COMMENTS FROM THE SOUTH. Perhaps thero fa no political question of 80 much general 1nterest just now as tho new departure in tho troatmont of the Southern Btates, Though it is not yet detormined ‘what specifio action ahall be taken with regard to Louisiana‘and South Carolina,~tho two States in which thera are rval clnimants for Governor,—the policy has been very clearly outlined, and it is protty cortain that the dis. pute between Nicnores and Pacrarp and between Haxuprox and Craunrarary will be treated in harmony with the theorles of reconciliation and home-rule on which the Precident’s Bouthern policy iz based. The struggle with the extremo radical cloment of the Ropublican party may bo regarded ng over; those at the North who hoped or de- sired to defeat the President's purposs have beon obliged togivo way undor the pressuro of publicsontiment. Itonly remains, theroforo, to tost the spirit of the Houthern people in their reception of a concillatory polioy ot the Lands of n party thoy have been aconstomed to denonnco on nll sides. The evidances that tho Bouth is predisposed to meot the Admin- istration with the same good feeling that has suggested the new departuro aro constantly increasing, Tho frank nnd straightforward course of such prominent ropresontative men 08 Lastan, Hitz, aod Gompox is clearly in- dicativo of the sentiment of the best element in the Bouth, andthere is o' falr prospoct that the extremists south of Masox and Drxox's lino will find themsolves as hopelessly in tho minority as their nntipodes in the North, Thero is likewiso ta be notod an improve- ment in the tone of Bouthorn newspapors. Thoso which set themsclves up as irrecon cilables when Prosident Haves' Southern policy was nuthoritatively doclared nro nt- tuning thefr organs to a milder key, thus demonstrating that thoy had not the ear nor the sympathy of their public. Tha con. sorvative newspapors, on tho othor hand, aro speaking ovon more plainly than at first, and aro receiving encourngomont trom ther rénd. ers. An old citizen of Jackson, Miss., writes to the Zimes of that place, which haa been supporting Mr. Haves' policy, that the people are with him, and that those who did their utmost to dofeat his elece tlon aro now glad that they were unsuccess- ful. A very surprising indication of publia sontiment is tho concossion mado by the Shreveport (La,) Z%mes, which became no. torlous duriug tho compaign for its open esponsal of the bulldozing tacties. Now, though still rnkling under defoat, it oays that “tho South ought to meet Mr. Hayes half way In any policy that looks to its regonera~ tlon nnd rehnbilitation” iy that *he should not meot with nny factious opposition at the londs of the Southern Democracy™; and that ‘“in his conservatism nnd patrlotism ‘who prefer poace and fair-dealing to factiou: opposition aud strife, There will then be tho bagis for politienl division among the native whites of tho South, which is the true way for working out the salvation of that section, In his St. Louis interviow, printed in Tz Tamune of yosterday, Mr. Iizxnr Wamp Berongr in reported an having given utter. ance to the remarkablo statement, remark. able na having come from him, that the South shonld have been deprived of represontation uutil {¢ bad voluntanly onfranchised the blacks. The ideais not original with Mr, Beeciien, 03 n constitutional smendment to tho samo offect waa once netually proposed. Had that amendment been incorporated in the Constitntion, does not Mr, Bezonzn know that it wouldnot have enfranchised the blacka in the noxt 200 years? No one in the South would have dreamed of it. No one would have lind the temerity to propose it. . The color-casto argument would have kapt the negro down so that he could never have arisen, and without the elective franchise he would have been of no more consequence than n mule. We confoss to astonishment at the position Mr, Brzenzn hns taken. Wo had supposed that in his anti-slavory senti- nent aud in his domands for the equal rights of men he was sound, sincere, and uncom. promising. It{ssuch s sudden and surpris. ing rovelation of ono side of Mr, Beronen's charncter that swo can hardly beliove bs has been correctly reported, or, if he has, that ho was renlly in earnest. Can it be possible Mr. Beecuzn does not know that without the suffrago it would be impossible to protect the nogro, that ho would not havo a friond in the South, snd that he wonld virtually re- lapse into o condition of slavery? Tlio Tondon Zimes of Feb, 27 contains the full details of the conclusion of pesce be. tween Turkey and Servia, from which it appenrs that the treaty was signed on the 26th ult. The protocol only contains three points: slatur quo, amnesty, and evecuation of Bervin Ly the Turkish troops within twelvo days. On the next day the Sorvian Government nddrassed n noto to the Porte contalning the following gunrantees: 1. Not to construct now fortifications. 2.
