There ia one matter to which wo should think the city vote of ‘Puesday would direct the special attention of the Illinols Legis. lature ns o whole, aud particularly the Cook County delegation. e refer to Senator RonNsox's bill now pending, and consider. ably ndvanced, legislatiug the present cor. rupt Board of Cuok County Commissioucrs ont of existence, and authorizing the people to choosy an eutiro uew Board next fall by a voto of the county at large under the minor. ity represantation system, ‘I'he fleople gave thio most owmphatio exprossion of their desiro for honest and economlceal local government by a majority of 12,000 for the re-election of & City Qovernment that has proved lis title to the clalm ; Liad tho ‘10,000 or 12,000 clti- zens who remained away from the polls cast tholr volos, this' majority would have been {ncronsed to 22,000 or 24,000, for the bummers marshaled all the forces they could commaud. Now this same puople oro pleading for an opportunity to nccomplish the same revolation in tho managemant of the county affairs that they havo achieved In city affairs, Dut thoy caunot do it without the aid of the Leglila. ture. Thoy canunot doii so loug us only five members of the County Board naro elected every year, aud these by districts, Thoy canuot do it uuder the bill patohed up by Ar, Hickxr in the Leglslature, authorizing the ety to clect ouly ton. Comimissionors, while tho other five nro to Lo elocted by singlo districts outside of the city lmits, Thoy can ouly do it under Scuator Ilopine 8N Lill, making a clean sweep, authorizing tlio wholo couuty to voto for all fifteen of the Commissioners, and thus forcing the party that desires succoss to nominato mon who commund the confilence of the people, The fact that the city bummors have beon defeated by 12,000 mnjority should bring the Cook County members of tho Legislature to their scuscs sbout this Couuty Doard matter, No wember of iho - Legisla. ture from t(bis county can opposs tho bill for the reformation of county abuses, aud retain any reasonablo hope for future political preferment. To opposo the people in this matter will be political suicido for the Cook County men who undertake it. ‘Ihe popular demand for the reformation is too clesr and uumistakable fo be resisted with impunity,. Senator Ronixvox's bill ebould now be pushed through vigorously and rapidly. We bave already stated the in. justice of Mr, Hioxer's makeshift. Ho pro. poses that cvery wan who lives inside the ity limity shall have tho privilege of voting for ten Commissioners, whilo the Chicago min with 08 much property aundaslargoa busiuess in the city, who “happens to Jive in Hyde Park, or Cicero, or Laka View, or Evanston, shall be permitted to vote for culy ons Cowmmissioner. The un. folmess of the proposition is paipa. ble. The intercsts of Chicsgo snd w0k County are indestical. Virtually the same people pay tho taxes that support both City sod County Governmeats, Those who hap. pon to live outsido the city limits have fre. quently larger interosts in Chicago than thosa living inside the city limits; all who livo outsido are dependent upon Chieago business in one way or another for their live- likood. The conntry peopls should e enti- tled, therefore, to vote for the entire Board as well as tho elty peoplo, and, as Scnator Roninson's bill provides that only ten mem- bers can be taken from the city, the conntry peoplo will ba fully protected. The partisan objection to Senator Rosry- %ox’s bill has been removed by the incorpo- ration of the minorily representation plan of voting ns npart of it. Under this systom ench party will be represented in the Board according to ita rolative numerical strength, It iho Ropublicans have & majorily of thoe votes, they 'will have n mnjority of the Board; if the Democrats havo a majority of the votes, the majority in the Board will be theirs, Bit . we hope still bottor results from this foature of the bill. Every voter having fifteon bnl- lots, aud possessing the right to cumnulato or distributo them as ho pleases, the majority of roputable and responsible citizena will probably concentrate on the ten Lest men put forward, giving one and a half votes to cach, and thus insure the choice of a ma. Jority of the Bonrd in spite of any devices the bummers may conceive and adopt. In this way tho Board may be constantly kept uuder the control of the taxpayers. Wo should think that men liko Senator Kenor aud Representative Dunnz, who ropre- sent constituencies composed in Iargo pact of mechanics, carpenters, brick-layers, stone- masons, brick-makers, quarrymen, and day Inborers, would make spocinl efforts in behnlf of Senator Robinson's bill, and for thin reason, viz.: The money for prosecuting work on the Court-1{ousq can only be ob- tained by the people voting authority for tho issuo of bonds, and the poople will never vote $1,000,000 to be intrusted to the present County Board for oxpenditure. Unless Seuntor Rosivsox'y bill shall pass the Legis- lature, the peoplo will refase to voto for an issuo of bouds, nnd the Court-House work must coms ton standatill. All the persons in the Legislature who represcut constituon. cies ot workingmen shonld feel constrained by thia consideration, ns well as by the pub- lio domaud and urgent necessity of the case, to give tho bill hearty support. Senntor Mires Keuox, who rendercd such valuable survico to tho public in securing the clinnge of date for the town eloctions, should follow up this good work by taking hold of the County Noard bill in carnest and doing his utmost for ita passage.’ NATIORAL l)_ll’LUETIxWEI IN LOCAL POLI- The reault of the city election on Tuosday cloarly shows tho wide-aproad and ameliorat- ing {ufluence of the new departure in the administration of nntionnl politics, At tho election last fall, in the hoaviest vote over cast in this city, TiLoxN received 5,000 mo- jority, and the samo wave which swept in that direction did not expend its forco until it had given the Democrats 2,000 majority on tho Congressioval and State tickots, A portion of the connty ticket was carried by the Republicans becauso the eandidates wera unexcoptionabls men, Tho tide ran heavily, however, against the Republicans in the city. Numerous causes had conspired to produce dissatisfaction with the then oxist~ ing Adwinistration, ‘Thore was o . goneral outery for reform, for the reduction of ex- ponditures, and for the improvement of ofice teoure, Thero was na detoymination to get rid of btad men, to punish centralizing anid corrupt cliquos, and to efect from their sonts that class of wen who would listen to noth. ing but forco, and who wore de- termined to rulo by military power, flho peopla in the South were not only tired of it, but the people in the North also, The disdatisfaction waa so universal in this city that all promises of reform nnd correction of abuscs were of no avail. 'They could not stem the current that set in against the Re. publicans, and Chicogo was lost to that party, The causca of the sudden change in wnnlcipal politics are not diffienlt to find, Thore nve atwaya local influences of great weight, aud on this occasion the determinge tlon of the people to have s good, bonest, nud economical City Government inado itself manifest in the triunpliant election of Mr, Heatm; bnt, above and boyond this, the in- finence of the National Administration is cloarly apparent, President Ifaves has beon in oftice but a month, but in that tima o hos Lrought about sn ¢normous change in the popular seutiment, He has rallled nround hiw tho disatfected elements of tho ltepublic. an party. Ilo haos nllayed tho hot exaspern- tion of tho Democrats over the Electornl count, and has: broken down the partitions of party walls, His courso in the construc. tion of his Cabinet hos had vast {nfluence of jtsclf, Ho broke tlrough tho party mn. chinery, defled the Beuntorial autocrney, and made appointinents of so bold a character ag to startle tho old party Liacks and astonish the whole people, For ouu of the principal sonts he selected Cann Bouunz, the ropre. sontativo man of the Germou clement, o mau of absolute political fudependonco, and one who had used his freedom in n manner to disgust the Sonalorial Ring, and thus re- cstablishied himvelf in the respect and friond. ship -of the Germans who had voted for TiuoeN with the lope of socuring reform and bettor government. 'To give tho South ropresentation he went ontside of his pary and selected Judge Kzv, an ex-Con- federate officer who bad ! voted for Tiwoex, and gove him a . very important position, because he was willing to meot bim half-wny, The remaining sents were filled with Nepublicans, 'selected not only for thelr ability, but for thelr modera- tlon, and conservatisw, and independence of party machivery. 'This accomplished, he then turned to the groat work of securing order, peace, and respeet for law in the South, by barmonizing the discordnnt ele. ments, breaking down the golor line, secur. ing the peoplo in tho benefits of locat self- government, and establlshing satistactory relations between employer and the em. ployed. There were but two localitiey where this discordanca promiuently mani. fested itsel?,—8outh Carolina aud Loulsiana. Tho former has been harmonized and the lotter will shortly be, The people of these two States will very soon have all the rights of self.government, saud can then be left free to work out their own salva- tion. This benign ‘and concillatory polioy Las come upon the country with the advent of spriug. As the balmy breezes, wormer sun, aud fertiliziug rains unlock tho frozen earth, sud by their gonial influences vivity the soil and prepare it for the future harvest, 50 Alr. Haves' policy of equity snd justice to all has prepared the national soil for a speedy harvest of peace, prosperity, and harmooy among all classes. Tta signs are already manifest, Discontented Germans »awg returned o their old allegiance. Re- publicans who despaired of corrocting abuses within the party bave returned to the fold. The Democrats have lost their acerbity ' and molignily In view of the President's candor and good will and detormination to secure all classes in their legal rights. The Chicago clection shows the groat popular chango this policy has effected, nud it haa been shown with like ro- sults olecwhoro, It tenches the lesson—which should be carefully stndied by politicians— that to do right meets with its roward, nnd that justico, kindness, conciliation, and good will transcend in their fnfluence all party machinery. i ——— I3 HILDRETH ELIGIDLE} The Constitution, Art, 7, Sec. 7, provides that ¢ The Gencral Assembly ahall pass laws exeluding from tho right of suftrage pereons convictod of In- famous crimes, ‘The statuta of the State, Chap. 46, Sec, 70, provides: No pereon who haa been legally convicted of any erime, the punishment of which ls confinement in the Penltentiacy, ahall bo permitted to vote at any election, unless he shall be restored to the right to vote by pardon, Boc. 43 of the City Chegtor provides: No porson shall ba eliglble to the office of Alder- man unless he be a quallded elector, and reside In the ward for which he Is elecled, nor shall he be eligible If he is {n arrears In the paymentof any tax or other labllity due to the eity; . ., nor shall Ae e eliglbless he shall have been convicted of mal- [l?lflntl, bribery, or other corrupt practices or crimes. Sxev 34, Tho City Councll ahall bo Judgs of the election and qualifications of {ts own members, The faols are briefly stated: J. I Hir. DaETH Was a Gouger, appointed by tho Gov- ernment of the United States; ho was in- dicted for various crimes set forth in twen- ty-two counts, aud *fled to Canada. While thore, ho nogotinted with the offidars of tho Government, and was nilowed to return and plond guilty to two conatsin tho indictment, —one for making falso roturns, and the othor for false swearing. Ho plonded guilty to these crimes, nnd was sentencad to pay a fino of $3,000, which fino ho satisfled. Tho fact of his conviction of ‘'corrupt practices or crimes” is n mattor of rocord, and is not dis. puted or denied. 'The charter distinctly states that no person shall bo eligiblo to a seat in the City Council who las been so convieted. ‘Therefore, Hitvnerm 18 not eligible to the office of Aldorman in tho City of Chicago, Tho clty charter makes the City Council the oxclusive judge of the qualifioations and eloctlon of ita own members. Tho guestion is not whother Hieonzrn shall bo expelled, The questionis, Is Hruoners eligible ? becauso, if hols not cligible, ho was nevor clected. In tho presence of the rocord in his caso,— tho indietment, the plen of guilty, tho son. tencd, and the satisfaction of tho sentpnce,— ho is ns ineligiblofor thaoflico of Aldermanas hio would be if ho were not a legal voter, or & non-resident, or an unnaturalized rosident of the city. * This question of eligibility re- quires no contest.” A comnmittece of the Council can obtain a eopy of the judicial rocord, and on that the Conncil will have to vote whothor this man Is oligible to tho of- fico of Aldorman or not. If n majority de- cide that he is cligible, then he will be ad. mitted; if a majority decide that he i not oligiblo, then lie will not be ndmitted to tho Board, The Board must decide, and is tho solo judge of the election and qualifications of its own members, No man legally ineli- gibla can be admitted to momborship. Will the uow City Council havo the cour- nge to moot this question and decido it upon the lnw and the facts ? Will they havo the nervo to meot this blatant domagogue and confessed criminal at the throshold, and, un- loss Lio can romove tho disqualification raised by his record, refuse him adwission to the Council? * Thougi he veceived more votes than either of Lis oppononts, he cannot plead that Lie is the roproscutative of the Soventh Ward, There was a large majority of the popular vote ugsinst him ; to tho,crodit- of tho peoplo of thoe ward, it should be said that, while they were misled jnto dividing their voto, they did enter n popular protest ngainst Lis eloction. We liave no doubt thnt the Couucil, satisfled of his lognl disqualification, will reject tho man promptly, THE NEW COUNCIL.

J, MoNuvaver, of whom wo aro not able to spoak, was clected in the Teuth Ward. and the notorious Hivoazrs in the Seventh Ward, The new Council is, as a whole, & most respectable one. At least twonty.nine and perhaps thirty of the members moy bo depended mpon to voto always in the Intercst of re- form,” economy, sud retrenchment, aud ogainst all jobs und trades aud conspiracies ogufust the Trensury. In the general defoat the bummers have suffered wost disastrously in the Council, whera they had expected to ake large gaius, The election of Tuesdsy determiues the character of the City Council for two years to comte. 'The Mayor will not lack a vigorous support in all his measuros to estabilish order, aud to carry out the policy of retrenchment begun last year. Mr. Pzeey Banrs's mistake was in nccept- ing the Dewmocratic nomination after ho saw who Lis associntes on the ticket were to be. He was a man of education, and of respect. ability, and of wealth, Ho did not want the office, Theissua presented to the Democratic party wos Coryiy, aud all that that fmaplied, or someother. ‘Thosubstantial, law-abiding, respectablo portion of the Democratic party sought Mr. Saurg, and haplored him 0 ac- cept the nomination, which otherwise would bo given to Couvry. With groat reluctance ho consented, and tho battor class of Demo- cratio managers succeoded by hard labor in baving him nominated. There, however, their power ended. After the nomination of Mer. Bntoos, the mob took all the rest, The city ticket, the Aldermania ticket, and tho town tickets wore londed down with men notorionsly unfit for office, and having in no sense the confidenco of the public. Tha eriminnl aud vagront classes, who had forced thess nominations upon the parly, and who promised to 8o swoll the vots 25 to lenve victory certaln, by tholr officions- ness produced a rovolt.
