It iaabsurd to think of Mr, Tavron as the * Greonback " candidata for Mayor, becauso it ia absurd to think of the Groenbackers of Chicago run. ning any caudidate for Mayor. Tho result of tho municipal election cau inno wiso affect the general financial atatus of tho country one way or tha other; it cannot inflate nor contract the currency, increase norlesaen the value of greonbacks, accelerate nor retard tho resumption of specie.payments. Do sides, Mr. Tavron presided over the Repub. liean Convention toumporarily after baing uom inated on the so-called * Gireenback “ ticket, thereby ropudinting the lattor-nomination, If he uow persists iu being a candidate, it s simply on mcecount of some peronal spite, and all the votos he receives, whether fivo or fifty, will ‘Lo taken from My, Heau and bo of the sywo effect a3 if cast i bebnlf of the Luummery, 10 Mr. Tavron desires to defoat Jr, Heatn for tho purposo of electing Mr. Btitu, he ought to ssy %o and give his rea- sons; he knows that there is not as much chauce for being elected Limself as there Is of Leinjy struck by lightuing in » spring snow-stori. i1, 'There is also a desire to nsscciate A, O, Hesiva with the Republican cffort to re.elect Mayor Heatir, becauge the Staats-Zeitung ls wupporling the latter. ‘The Stuats.Zeitungis the exponent of the better German element in Chicago, and not of Mr. Hzsixe, who has no control of its editorial expressions, It Hesixo follows the Staats.Zatung in thls case, it fs probably because be, too, recog- nizes that the Germnans aro in favor of pro- longed economy and decency in the City Government, BHut Hesixe bimself {s vot a candidate, nor sn expectaut, nora factor in the cawmpuign, and heuce ueither he, nor his past, nor bis future, §s in fssue. ‘I'hese are tho priucipal side issues to which Switi's people are trying to divest public stteution.

Gonvox on tho part of tho con- servative nnd honorable men from the South who jusisted that the Elcctoral bill should ba carried out in good faith, ‘This story wns & reflection upon the Sonthern conservatives as well as upon Prosident Harzs, and it was so intended. Certain nowspaper organs of thoe TImplacables went g0 far g to asgert that the compnct had beon formally submitied to tho Presidont-olect, and that he had in- dorsed his approval thercon, and this wos mado the pretext for the further chargo that tho Presidency had been dis- posed of by bargaln and sale very much as it would have been had TrLpeN obtained tho office through tho purchased vote of the bogns Eloctor, Cronty. This wag tho story, manufactured out of whole cloth, as the re- sult proves, and promalgated as if the orig- inal doguments could ba produced at any time to substantiate it. The simultancous statements of Jony ‘Youno Browx on the one side, and Crances Fosten on the othor, and the production of the only letters that passed, show how ma- ticious the invention wes, Thore was noth- ing in the naturs of a compact or ngroement. President Hares waa not informed of cither the interviows or tho letters, and noither Mr. Marrswa nor Mr. Fostzn ‘professed. to represent Lim In the matter, There was no mystery nbout the transaction, but, on the contrary, what had beets written was intrusted to Gen, GonrboN and Mr. Browx, with tho privilego of using it as they deomed best. ‘Thero was no need for concealment, since tho letter contained nothing more~—indeed, some- thing loss—than Mr. Fosrzs lad already snld opeuly in the Houso of Ropresentatives. Al thero was to it waa an expression of tho bollef entortained by Mossra, Matrurws and Fosten, snd founded upon thelr intimato personnl knowledgo of Prosident Iaves charcter, career, and views, that ho wonld inangurate such & policy ng wonld result in glving the people of South Carolina and Louisiana tho right to control their own affalrs in thelr own way. 'Tho reason why Mr, Browy and tho othor consorvatives wanted pome stich nssnrance wns to show thelr irreconcilable constituonts that there wia not oven the excuso of s probable con- tinuanco ot the Gmaxt policy of interven. tion to justify breaking faith in tho agree- ment to count tho Electoral vote. Now that it ia fully demonstrated that tho Bouthern conservatives were not bribed with promises to voto aa their honor and faith de- mnndod of them, and that President Harss did not commit the error ot making pledges in ondor to sucure the oftice to which the Commission sdjudged ho was ontitled, there 18 no roason to bolivve that either the South- orn consorvatives, nor My, Ilares' fricnds, Mossrs, Matraews and Fostes, will be dis. appointed in tho opluion thoy formed of him.

Its dutles wero distinetly foreshad- owed in Tue ‘fminuxe some dsys ago, and oven more definitely yesterday, This Com- wission conslsts of Gen, Hautax, of Kon. ticky, who ropresents a formidable white Re- pnblican party of native Kentuckiaus, and Republican party in that Btate which is su. nully increasiog, and uow polla over 100,000 votesy he fully understands the Bouthern situation, aud knows that, se long as the color-line of politics continues, the Bouth will be “solid,” and tho blacks the unforiu. nate vietime, Gen. Hawrky, of Connecticnt, a fearless and independent Conservative, and the author of the pacification plat. form adopted by tho Convention which vom. inated Mr. Hayes,and Judge C, B. Lawnexoe, of this city, will be accepted by the country as sofe moen to dovise a plon to extricate Louisiann from its' prosent entanglement, With theso gentlemen are assoctated Mr,*! Warxe MoVeiou, of Penusylvania, who, though related 10 the Casxrroxs, is not o Cameronian {u any seuse; and Gov, Boowy, of ‘I'ennessee, & Damocrat of most conserva. tive tondeucies, The work of this Commission will be to find n storling point in the complicated threads of the Louisiana muddle. ‘The Con. stitution of that State makes the Leglulature tho initial agent in the Btate Government. There ore now . two Legiulatures in that State. Each of these coutains a number of Senators elected fu 1874, Each also contains a number of Roprosentatives of whose elc- {lon there Is no yuestion or doubt. I¢ will be the duty of this Commission to seleet {bese members whose clection is not dls- puted, and, by their pid aud official sotion, select from all the various clulmants a suffi. clent number to constituto 8 State Legisla. ture. Totbhis body will be submitted the returus of the election fco Governor and State ofllcers, sud theso returng will be canvassod by that body aa required by law, aud the eclection of Govornor and Btate officers will thon bo declared. The President proposes to recogniza this Leg- ialature, and the Governor ond Biate oficera declared elected by it, and to immedintely withdraw tho troops, and leave that Govern. ment in possession of tho State. This will be an organization made in strict conformity with tho Stato Constitution and laws, ‘The clamor made that the Board of State Oan- vassors hava already declnred who was clected to the Legislature is idle. The Legislature is, by the Constitution, tho sole judge of the eloctions of its own mombers, and in like manner hins oxclusive control of the eanvsss. ing of tho returns for Governor and Btate offlcors, ‘Thongh both the existing Legisln- tures have undertaken to decido and declare who had beon elected Governor, it is an im. possibility that tho two bodles, each Lnving » largo number of legally and undoubtedly clected members, could be as to the rest of the members anything but mado up of men not entilled to seats. Each Legislature is therefora of necessity Inrgely made up of ontsiders, called In to give a semblance of n quorum. It will be mo serious difficulty to tako the returns and se- lect those who were really eleoted, to seat thom as the real members of the Legislature, and leavo tho Legislature to the performance of its functious as tho Conatitution direots, without referenco to avything which has been dono by either of the so-calldd Governe ments which have claimed existence since tha first week in January, Fhis will bo literally giving to tha people of Lonisiana local self-government; and such a Governmont will not only have the power and the will to protect nll classes of tho people, to enforce tho laws, put the ma- chinery of justico in operation, and estab. 1ish Executive nuthority, but it will be able to do all this withoutthe aid of the troops of tho United States, Thus, within sixty days of his own inauguration, the President will have solved the Bouthern problem, nnd se- cured to the peoplo of South Carolina and Louisiana, without the employment of forco, Governmants ss atrongly fortified by publio confidence ng ars tha Goversments in suy of the othor States of the Union. e——— THE HEATHEN CHINER OUTDONE. Truth is stranger than fiction. The Hoa- then Chinca of Bner IMante's fertile imagi- nation is cclipsed in *the childlike and bland.” 'Tho cheek of A 81w was infini. tesimal as compared with that of Curistan Hansey, ‘‘a melancholy Dano” of gigantio statnro nud shabby habit, found wandoring abont tho streots of New York, trying doors. An onterprising policoman found him at his work, politely nsked him if he was nbout to connnit a burglary, to which he politely ro. plied in the afirmative, and begged the offi- cer to be 6o good ns to lock him up with as wuch expedition as possible, Doonrrnx did 50, and tho noxt morning he was mraigned. Thon Lo delivered o littlo autoblographical statement of the most remarkablo - descrip- tjon to his awestruck nnd gaping auditors, Ho hod been throngh the War, and when -peace was concluded went to Cincinuati. Toaming from saloon to saloon, he msde the noquaintance of a gang of burglars, sud helped to rob he First Nationni Baok of $400,000 in bonds and $4,000 in cash. Mis share was $10,000, and this he lost in Erm Horrtano's gambling-liouse. Then 1o hielped rob on oxpress.car on tho Vandslia Tond, nad shortly after was arrested in St Louis and taken back to Oinciunatl to stand trinl for the bank robbery. Ifo wna tried be- fora Judge T'arr nnd sentenced to twenty years in tho State Prison, and, after sorving ten yonrs, wns pardoned out by Gov. ITaxes, And then the chiflllike and biand CitnisTsan Hansey commenced working upon the sym- pnthics of the crowd with the declaration that ho wanted to bohave Limself, but that he must eithor steal or starve, and ho wonld therefore prefer to bo in the State Prison, whore ie wonld be out of barm, His sudit- ora wero meolted at the sight of a brave man wrestling with sin, sud beggiug to Le pro- tected from its tlerce asagults, Ouo Alderd mnn gave him $2 and noother 856, A Jus. tico of tho Peaco presented him with a suit of clothes, and another ono promised to obtain for him 4 situation in a storo. When o reporter of the Yorld called upon Cnnis- TIAN the next morning, he found 300 citizona thero all rondy sud willing to provide * the melancholy Dane™ with employment, sad Crnistiay llessed the reporter, whereupon somo sympnthetic gentleman inslsted npon poyiug bis passage back to Deumark, which CunisTiaN courteously declined, with tearful allusions to his aged mother, A day or two afterward it eventuated that the Fimst National Bank of Cincinnati was not robbed nt alt; that Mr, Tarr was not a Jndgo at the time Cunisrran said he com- mitted the roblory ; that Era Jlortann did not kesp n gambling-honsa at {bat thoe; that no such wan as Cunistiax lnd been pardoned out of the Punitenilary by Gov, Haxxag ond that no such railroad train was rolbod on the Vaudalia Rond, Then the sympathizing friends of Ounisriax called upon him to rise and explain, to which he had no objection, siuce he bad secured the monoy and bis wuit of clothes. With the ssmo Dlasd snd childliko degree ol in- nocouce which he displayed in catablishing himself o3 o first-closs borglar, thiof, snd seoundrel, he thoreupon proved that o way no such penson, bat, ou the other haud, was tho chuupion liar of the Americau Republic. After this tho Hoathien Chines iy well bide his head and Llush for shame st being ouldone by this simple child of Donmark, who could not ouly beguilo a Now York paliceuan, but take-in aud do-for New York magistrates and Aldermen. In those days of burglaries, thefts, and general corruption, whom can we belleve if not'the man wlo says o ia a scoundrel? When rascality iy all abroad in the land, it undennines one's 2aith In the eternal truths of the universo to bo compelled to believe that o man is lyfug when he says he is o scoundrel. Whowm sball we belleve? What shall we believe? If ono can't believe a8 man who says he is a scoundrel, how are we o belivve u 10au who saysheisnotascoundrel ? 'fhere are twoother serious thoughts conuected with CunieTiax’s stratogy, The first of these ls, that actual crino meets with more sympathy in Now York than honest poverty. It is uotlong since & poor woman with a child in her army begged for help ina thoroughfare of that great city from tho pasiers-by azd noone listoned. A fow hours later the child was found frozen to death. A man comes before the community acknowledging crimes of varlous description. Straigtway he is pro. vided with woney, clothes, snd other gratul. tles, and finds bimself a hero. The secovd thought is the credibility and gullibility of New York policemen and ofiicials. 1f they can swallow such o story as Onmistiax told {bem without suspicion, they ought, as the Cincinnoti Gaztte urges, totake out sccident policies to insure thew against the perils of bunko aud three-card monte.

In com- menting upon this poculinr state of affalrs, the Now York Z'imes saya: An asylum or reformatory which shall reccive half its support from private individuals, and be #0 far under the stimulsting effect of private and {ndividusl management, will accomplish far more than one ontirely in the handa of tho State, white its asslstance from the pablic gives it stability and ‘brioge It under eficlent suporvision. To demon- sirate this, we have only to compare such an asy- lum as the P'rotestant Juvenlle Asylum with the Huadall's Island Asylom for pauper children,—as 18 was. The Public Nnrsery was a nursery of abuses, while the seml-private asylnm (though not amodel) fastill an exceedingly well-managed Ine stitutlon, Of the two, the Asylum coste the public less than the Nursery, ‘Tho samo evil which exists in New York coxlists in Illinois and everywhere clso. It fa on opon question how far these publio ap. proprintions are tending to increase pauper- ism. Bolong ns the approprintions inerense the charities will increase, and as the chari. tles inorense the number of paupers and other dopendents upon tha Stata will incroase also, Thero seoms fo be n pocnliar fascina- tion {n subsisting upon charity, Tho street. ‘beggar who finds he can gecare alms will not work, even if work i8 offered him, however able-bodied he may bo. The increaso of chartties increnses this class, and fostersa dependence upon charity, It {s making hot-beds of panperism, with their accompany- ing hot-beds of crime. It is loading to most profligate oxponditures, It is subsisting o class of lazy officials, It is opening up new Avonues of corruption. It is dovouring the substance of the peoplo without rolieving the public of its burdens, Another snd yery alorming ovil growing out of lavish ap- propristions and the cxtension of charities, in this Stato for instance, i the tondenoy to tarn the Btate into o goneral hospital for the benefit of adjoining States, A fow yoars ago thore was but one insane asylum in Illinois which cared for tho insane peoploof the State.

Anything beyond this is attmcting tho pau- perium of atlier Btates, and making the peo- ple of llinois contribute to the support of forelgn pauperism, ‘Chere is urgent noed for economy In charitable exponditures, and for o judicious regulation of tho moneys con- tributed. The New York Z'imes suggeatansn very commendable remedy for thews ovils that ono-half the burden should be borne by individuals and one.half by the publio, Charities supported in part or in whole by private contributions are always moro judi- clously managed and nccomplish more good than those which are supported entirely out of the public treasury, becanso the contrib. utors are more caroful in watching tho man. agomunt, and miore interested to know how their money is cxpended. The public, for instance, 1s perfoolly nware how the two Or- phan Asylums in this city, aud St. Luke's and Mercy Hospitals, are conducted ; but the general public knows s littlo of what is done in the publio institutions of Illinois as it does of thoso in Russin, RAILROAD BONDS BLOTTED OUT. Tho uncertainties of the law ara prover- bial. And this proverb hns recontly boen illustrated in the cnso of certain township ‘bonds issucd in thls State in ald of the Ot- tawa, Oswego & Fox River Valley Railrond Company. Some yoars ago, when tho ses. slong of tho Legistaturo were limited to forty.two days, aud when from 1,000 to 1,400 bills wera'passod at a sosslon, it was the practice to make up packages contaln- {uyg from thirty to ocighity bills, and, calling the yeas and noys ouco ou the wholo pack- age, declaro all the bills passed. As those bills were put in the package, a single objeo- tion was fatal; the titles of all bills admitted 6 the package were noted by the Clerk, and nll were ontered on the journala ns pussod, Bomatimes, when a bill was objected to nud thrown out, it would be found sub- sequently to hiave been surreptitiously thrust into the package. When so found, it de- ponded on the Journal clerk to disre. gend it, or euler it np omong those formally enacted. In those days, among the bLundreds of mcts reported, was one authorizing the people of lowns, counties, and citles along the route of the present Ottawn, Oswego & Fox River Valley Rallroad to hold elections, and, by a majority vote, to direct tha issue of bonds in ald of a railway, 'his law, or supposed luw, remained un. acted on for some time, but fAually the olec- tlous were hold, the isaue of bLonds voted, aud in May, 1869, bouds were actually issued and delivered totho Railroad Company by the towns, and to the amount following: Bouds siace redeemsd Bonds outatsuding, Theso bouds all bore cent. Thoe intereat was paid for some time after tho bonds were swsued, Bubsequent in- wvestigation, however, led to su examination of the records of the Legislature, aud there was a lamentable abscuce of any record of the passage by the Benste of any such law 3 that under which the elections were held and suthority voted for issuing the bouds, In fact, Do such law had ever passed the two Housos of Lagislature. The Constitution of the Btate required thst no bill should be eu- local officers in LaSalle County from levying or collecting tazoes to pay the interost on the - bondy, and the Suprems Court of Xilinols de. clded that the whola issue of bonds was void, that no much law had ever bean cnacted as that under which the bonds had been jssucd, In the mosntime, suit had been brought in the Uniled Stntes District Court in this distriot by tho bondholders, snd this Court rofused to hear evidence denying the lognl enactment of the so-called sct of 'the Legislature, and gave judgmont for the bondholders. The Supreme Court of the United States, upon nppesl, carly in tho wintor, affirmed the decision of the District Court. A reliearing was asked for, the case was reargued, and the Court has vow reversed the decleion of the District Court, holding that the Bupremo Court of the Stata having deolared the Jaw to Lo invalid under the State Constitution, the Supreme Court of the United States would follow that {ntorpretation. . This sottles the question of the validity of the bonds,—biots them and tho secumulated interest out of existence. The whole road is only fifty.stven miles long, and the only cash capital ever invested init was the procecds of thess muufcipal bonds. It was leased in perpeluity to tho Chicago, Burlington & Quinay Railroad Com- pany, that Company sssuming liability for $1,260,000 of the bonda lssued by the O,, O. &F, V. R, R.
