Henator Rontxson's County Commission- ers’ bill has been referred to o Soloct Cowm- + mittee consisting of tho Cook County Son- ators, vith a view to Larmoniziug the differ- ences among the mewbors from this connty in both Houses, sud, if poasible, to sgreo upon some bill that will securo their united THE APPELLATE COURTS. A caroful reading of the bill passed by tho House of Representatives creating new Ap- pellate Courts ju this State shows that the new Courts may be used to inoreaso delnys, and incromso tho costs of litigation, At present, nll cases of every kind may be taken on appeal or writ of ervor directly to tho Bu- support, It is to ba lLopoed the effort will | premo Court. The Appellate Courts of jufe- sucevod. rior jurlsdiction ave only desirable under the % beliet that they will reliove the Bupremo Becrotary chauce to save Court of a large amount of busincss, and thus expodite tho hearing of cases new taken up for mera purposes of deley, Tho bill crenting these Appellate Courts excepts from thelr jurisdiction criminal cascs and cases involving a franchise, or a freebiold, or the va. lidity of o statute, appeals and writs of errors inwhich sbaoll be takeu dircetly to tho Bu. prome Court. This exception iuprovided for in the Constitution, The bill provides that the Appellate Courts shall havo exclusivo Jurisdiction over all appeals and writs of error in all other coses cxcopt those meutioned whera tha amouut fn controveray {y less than §500, ‘The bill, therefore, provides that all appeals in criminal casos and cases involving u franchise, or a frechold, or the validity of a statute, shull bo taken direct to the Supreme Court; that all appenls in all other cases whore tho suin {s less than §300 shall go to the Appeliato Courts § but thero isan evi- dently-intended omlssion to provide where the appeals in all cases of the clasy of which thess now Courts hias exclusive jurisdiction, where the amount is $500 and over, sball be taken, ‘Y'ho law, as it stands, now vends all cases (except thoss meutioned) to the Ap. pellate Courts, bu' makes the judgments of the latter final only in cases where {he sum in controversy is leas than $300. An appeal, where the wum in controversy shall be $500 sud over, canuot reach tho Supreme Court. without passing fimt through this Appellate Court. Tho costs of litigation, therefore, will be iocreased by tho costs of {ryjug the cascs in the Appallate Courts snd appealing therefrom to the Su- premo Court. ‘This bill will require at least one-half the cases which now go dircct fo the Buprewe Court. to go firut to tho Appel- late Court before {hey can get to the Bu. preme Court. In fact, tho bill creates an. other toll-gate through which litigunts must pass, and the extra toll will range, sccording to the magnitude of the case, from §100 to 1,000 in each fustance, and that without ad- * several thousand dollars in advertising for .

If the intention of the bill is to send no nppeals to these new Courta Bave those wherothe judgmentis final, it should so provide, and whers in the eighth section the bill reads, * but in eriminal cases, or thosa involving s franchise, or freehold, or the validity of a statute, appeals or writa of orror shall be taken directly to the Buprome Court as heretofore,” tho words *'and in all other cases whera the amount in controversy 18 $500 or more " should bo inserted after the word *statute,” Then we will have Ap. poliate Courts of final jurlsdistion, when, 3 thobiil now stands, wo will have fnter. mediate Bupreme Courts having final juris- diction in nothing.

Tho rapid march of events aince the Ad. ministration of Mr, Havea commenced is rapidly throwing the South upon its own re- sources, Iitherto the wail has periodically comé from tho Southern States that they could do nothing in tho way of self-support 50 long ng thoro was the ever.present danger of Fedoral interference, and that the pro. ductiveness of their section could not bo de- veloped undor tho deprossing influences of earpet-bag Governments, which wasted their pubstanco nnd kept them in continual tur. moil, Theso clogs upon progress ara now romoved. Foderal bayonets no longor stand botweon the peoplo and the State Govern ments, Carput-baggers have had thoir day, The peoplo of the Bouth nre free to go on their way without let or hindranco, There is but ono roynl road to prosperity, however, and thot is work. Tho people of the South aro now far enough removed from the in- dolont days of slavery to realize thia fact. A whole generation hag come upon the scene since the timo whon men and women who la. bored lost caste. The quickost, almost tho only, solution of the problom is not only tho philosophical realization but the practical application of tho dignity of labor, The salvation of the Bouth is only to be found in the gospel of toil. The negroes must work ond the whites must work. Men, women, and children must work, It is time that Southerners dropped their nonsenso about ohivalry and aristocracy. Thoso who have never worked should now work, and those who have worked beforo should now work the mors, There is plonty of unem. ployed material, not only in the cities but in tho towns and villages, which should now bo utilized. They must fling their vld slavery traditions to the winds, givo up their absurd prejudices about labor, quit tho cross.rond groceries, abandon their political nonsenso, tako thelr hands out of their pockets, and go to work with oarnestness and dotermivation to succeed. They 1nust put their hands to the enging, the plow, tho loom, the bammer, and the ox, and fling awny their shot-guns, ptols, ond bowle.knives. 'The cotton flolds and sugar plantations aro to bo developed. The groat wheels of commerco ara (o bosot in motlon again. The hum of tho factories must onco moro bo heard. 'The wnste places of war must bo restored. Bchool-houses and churches must bo robuilt. Railroads and canals must be set in operation. Mannfac. tures must La*developod. When this is done, then the South will tako a now departuro towards prosperity, nnd in this new de- parturs she will bo aided by Northern enter- priso, skill, nod capital, When n Northern Inboring mou can go into the South without being looked upon s8 n mudsill, then there will bo hope, When Northorn and Sonthern laboring mon unite their muscle and bralu, then the whole conntry will bo. enriched. ‘Then there will bo a mutual market for North- ern and Southern products. Thennund not till then will the South enjoy that happiness and comfort which spring from industry and thrift, ‘The slave has vanished from tho Bouthern population, The poor whito trash should follow, and then the chivalry, United in the common brotherhood of labor, blacks snd whites, freed from the thralidom of enste, should move together in the grent work of emancipating the Bouth from indo- lence. It is & choering Indication that such may Do tho case that the prominent and influen- tial Bouthern journals are advocating labor 08 tho surcst panacea for Southern ills. The Louisville Courier-Journal says'let us dolve, dig, and devolop tho country, havo il roads, and be princes of the country,—mon of overalls, counting-rooms, Credit-dlobiliers, —in short, let us undertake work. The New Orleans Zmes also and the Atlanta papers contiuunlly urge upon tho South the impor. tanco of developing its industries.. Now that the Federal troops have been removed and the carpot-baggers have packed their trunks, nothing stands in their way, There fana restraint, and the country will look to the Bouthern people to redoem thelr country by labor, ‘ —e THE BEST INDIAN POLIOY, Ex-Presidont Graxt certainly made a most determinod and persistent offort during his oight yoars’ term of office to sottlo the In- disn quostion, Ho nllowed the Quakers and Christian ponce-mon to try their peace policy, and on oceasion gave Suermax, Crook, Cus- TEn, oud the army foll swing, But it was only in tho closing days of his Adminiatrs- tion that he settled down to n plan, the good offocts of which aro now beginning to ba folt, and which has been carriod out in the lato surrender to Gnoox of 1,500 hostile In. dians ot Spotted Tail Agonoy in Nebraska. "This policy is, in briaf, to deprive tho Indians of thelr horsos, firo-arms, and ammunition. It was recommended by Croox, wo believe, and approved by Biueaiax and BnEaMax, and we have the greatest faith in its suc- cess, Take nway an Indian's pony, and he is only half o warrior; de- prive him of his gun ond smmunition, and ha is of necessity a non-combatant and depondont, Thore jabut one othor roguls. tion nocessary to keep tho Indiana in poace- tul acquiesoenca, and that is, having de- prived them of their gunsand horses, to provont rascally traders and agents from solling them others, This rulo should not only bo made at nll the Agencies and applied to all the trnders, but it should ba euforced by tho most rigid penaltics. ‘Withont Lorses and without guns, tho Yo- disus’ nomndio and warlike propensities aro of necessity constrained ; and once peaceful and stationsry, even upon compulslon, it will not bo o diffionlt matter to mako him cultivate sufficiont agricultural knowloge and industry to raise corn and meat cnongh to liva on. ‘That will bo a decided stop toward permanant pacification, for it implics a patch rudas approach to s homo. With fire-water and gunpowder beyond bhis roach, and no vonles at hand to scamper “‘over the Lills and far away," it ia not impossiblo that the Indian mny some day nchiovo tho first elemont of civilization in advancing to a condition of solf-support, The saving to the Government .of such a chango in the Indian's condition may be ecstimated when it i remombered that the appropriations for snpporting the Indlans rango from $7,000,000 to $8,000,000 sunually, Butin the menntime thore moy Lo just ns important o saving in the reduce tion of tho army exponses, if tho Indians can be kopt peaceful, Thon, indeed, the army may be reduced to o mera skeloton of 5,000 men without tho smallest danger. Instead of incurring tho enormous oxpenso of sup- porting 15,000 mon, transporting them over o wide oxpanso of country, anl supplylug thom with new rolays of harses for ovary new campaign, it- will only bo necessary to maintaln troops enough at tho Indian Agoncles to enforce tho rule agalnat solling the Indinns fire-arms, ammunition, and liorses, and to bring the offenders against this rule to quick punishment.. Thus it may bo that '$8,000,000 or $10,000,000 may bo saved in tho army expenses, which should properly have Leen charged up sgainst the Indian account for tho last eight years. The country will exporience an immediate benefit from the application of this new pol- jcy, for it ja predicted that there will be nothiug like a general cawmpaign this sum- mer, With the surronder end dlsarming of 1,500 of the hoatilo Bioux, including most of thoso who bave mado the stabborn fights of the last year, it is not likoly that tho others who are still hostilo will remnin outside the Agencics very long. ‘Thoy are ot numerous nor atrong onough to fight, and will sue for pesce and rations in datachmonta from now on, submitting to a doprivation of arms and horses which will bo a Ddlessing to them in tho ond. TWEED'S CONFESSION, Boas Twezp, worn out by prison-confine. ment, broken down in health, deserted by s frionds, with nothing moro to Lope for in Lis world and not far removed from tho next, has lifted the veil from the oporstlons of the Tainmany Ring, and reveals the full depth of its corruption und rascality in ro- turn for tho counsideration of liberty and vest, Blr. Twxep tlls the storylot the Ring from 1807 to the time of the oxposure, aud a preclous story it fs of fraud and villainy, - In the first fustance, the 'Tween Ring got con. {rol of the city by the payment of %200,000 to Btate Senator Winsrow, the understand- ing being that this money was to bo divided ‘betwoen eight influential Republican mom. bers of the Senate aud four meinbors of the House, - Swgeny, Hary, Connorvy, Woon. wanp, Gamver, Inornsort, DavisoN, Wat- soN, and o majority of the Board of Supervisors are implicated in the division of spoils. ‘Tho causo of thesudden disap. pesrance of Haru is now clear enough, Mr, Tweep says he was in full collusion with all tho details of the fraud, knew the fraudulent nature of the contracts that Le sigued, received 10 per cent of allthe profits, sud that the document purporting to be the record of proceediugs of the Board of Audit upon which Lo was acquitted was manu. factured after the exposure. Alr. Hastinas, editor of the Commercial Advertiser, 13 cred- ited by Mr, Twzzn with having received one check for #20,000 and other checks for smaller amounts, bosides havivg schioved tho disreputable diplomatic feat of cement. jng the allianco Letween Jiax Gourp and Twerp by which Tammany and Erie, wheel within wheel, revolved to their mutosd ad- vantage. e furthermore intimates that all the paintings and book-cases im Recorder Hacxrr's house wero paid for by the city; thot Huen Swtm, & particular fricnd of Tho Athens correspondont of the London Dally News states that the Greek Govern- ment hos given orders that an army of 60,» 000 wen be in readiness for active servico in case of need, nnd that the foeling in Athens is fntensoly anti.-Rusalan, There are good reasons for believing this- statement to be erroneous, In tho Anit Instance, whale ever position Oreece mny take fn the impending war, tho mlylng of an anny of 60,000 wen for active servico is a physical impossibility, The most that she can muster, according to the beat military authoritios, 1s 80,000, and as she Las no army train or sanitary corps whatever, and the very poorest of arms, it can Lardly be expected of her to accomplish much beyond her own mountajns. Again, the statement that the feeling in Athons is intensely anti- Russfan does not tally with the sen- timents expressed at the great public meetings held during the sittings of the Canstantinople Couferonce, when an eloquent and indigooot paper was adopted setling forth the infamous charscter of Tarkish per. secutions and outrages in tho ‘Turkish sco- tions of Greece, and claiming that they were exposed to ss much suffering as the Bclaves, and carnestly begging the Powers to include tho Oreeks in thoir scheme of reforms, Lautly, it bas alwasys beon the dream of the Grecks to extend their boundurics to the 1 of his (Twexp's) bank scconnta. This is the- confirm it ho gives the names of five promi- of ground, a hut, some occupation, and olght fivo WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1877, old limits in the days of Parip, and to re. cover Macedonia and the upper helf of Theasaly, which would give them n popnla- tion of fourand nbelf millions instend of their present million snda quarter. An al. liance with Turkey will never restore her threo millions of people, bul an allisnce with Russin will. DIPLOMATIC AND CORSULAR LIFE. 3Mr. Lorexz Bazyraxo was elocted to Con- gress by tho resldents of the North Division of Chicago and Lake County s o special representative of the popular demand fora scientifio and permanont roform of the Civil Service, which means practically n return to the mathods of the early Administrations of the Government. Mr., BeexTaxo has not forgotten the principal feature of his elcc. tion, and is dovoling his atlention to this branch of public polity. In a letter printed in the Staate-Zeitung of Monday, aod trans. lated and reprinted in Tue Tainuse of yes+ torday, he makes a suggestion which should ba brought to the atlention of President Harza and adopted a4 o rula of the foraign diplomatic and consular service, It is to tho offect that such foreign servico shonld be limited to eight years’ consecntive residence abroad 88 a reprosentative. of the Govern- ment. This rala was eslablished by 1Ar, JuzrrensoN when lio was Becretory of State under WaisminaToN 08 o result of Lis own porsonal oxporienco, ond obtained until all the onrly praotices in the Civil Borvico were abandoned. Mr, Jer- rensoy sald that, afler rosiding nbroad sevon yonrs, he was starlled ot the changes that had taken placo at home during lis absenco, snd found that tho now sonti. ments and_conditions were. almost alien to him. It was on this ground that ho declined to recommend one of his warmest friends for a ronominntion as Minister to Franco, and induced WasmmvoTox to refuse n continuance In office to any person who hnd held a diplo- .| matic position for eight years.
