It looks very much as though this were the sort of ncutrality that Sorvin is in point of fact obsérving. The relative strongth of the opposing armies in Asio Minor is now sinted to ba: Russiane, 175,000 men and nbout £40 guna; Tarks, 146,000 men, no estimato being made of their artillory, thongh it is cortain that their oquipments for flold operations in this respeot are for inforior to thoso of the Rus. sisng.

Mouxn- AR Pasna in likely to bo attacked from two dircctions, and the intelligence of an engnge- ment greater than any thus far fought in Armenin may ba expected any day, ——— Thero is dauger that '* Catekin" KearNey will be eredited with more influenca and power than ho really possesees in regarding tho successful obstritction of the bill for ro. forming tho Cook Caunty Board as entirely duo to his intorforonco in bebnlf of the Ring. Tho fact is, that Keanver was put forward'ng the Ohiof Obstructionist becauso bo was willing to nssumo the blamo for the dirty work, having no character to lose, and not being burdened with any sonse of tho rerponsibility to tho peoplo ho reprosented. But thoro wna one other membor of tho Cook County delegation who worked even moro ecfliciently ngainst the intorosts of tho taxpnyers than KeanNey, bo- cnuso he did bis work insidionaly aud ingoniously, keeping himself partly in tho dark, bnt reslly doing moro than “ Cotskin.” Wo rofor to Joseen E, Surrn, o law-partnor of Menvitez W. Furnen, who was sent to Springfiold as a ropresontative of tho decent elomont, though 8 Democrat, and who onjoyod the confidonco of (ho tax- payor, Yot wo aro credibly informed that this person worked persistently against the passago of tho bill for gotting rid of the County Ring, nnd labored with tho country Domocratic mombers to obstruct and dofent it, bocnuso it would divest the Democmtic party in this county of cerlain patronage nad power. 8xrrm wna olected in the Bee- ond Distriet, composed of tho Third, Pourth, ond Fifth Wards, and tho Towns of IHyde Park and Lnko. It is safo to kay that throo- fourths of all tho votors and nincty-nine out of avory hundred of tho taxpayers in his Dis. trict were in favor of tho bill which he so- cretly did everything in his power to defeat on the most dobased partisan ground, viz. : Totaining thioves in office, knowing thom to ba thioves, beeanso Lhey nro Domocrats. If 3r. Huirn thinks this conduct will advance ‘’his political nspirations, ho will probably dis- covor that ho has been mistakon. A short study of French politics will throw considerable light upon the prosent crisis in that Ropublie. At tho gencral election of members of the Assembly lnst year the Ro pnblicana cast 4,001,235 votos; the Monarch. islg, 1,611,019; tho Donapartists, 1,198,383, 1o Ropublicans having o majority over both of 792,433, and oleeting 371 of tho 501 Depn. ties, giving o majority in that Chunler of 130, o majority whicli was increased to 201 in the voto of want of confidenco in tho now Cabinet, which was {nntamount to the con- suro of Mac)anon for tho insolént manner in which ho removed Jures Sruox from pow- or and nppoluted tho Orleanist Duc po Broowz fu hia place. In the election of 1nst yenr, M, Borrer was at tho hoad of the Ministry, and nsed every offort known to “ machino politivs,” ns wo understnud that term in thia country, to carry out MaoMa- stoN's centvalization.-and anti-Republican policy,—with what resuits are shown above, T'he Prosident and Ministry of Francoe aro pursuing exactly the samo policy now. MMac- Mason aud tho Duc pr Bnoowir ore warm sywpathizars with tho policy of o contralizod systom of government which shall bo Napo- lvouic and Ulimmontano in its charactor ; but thoy cannot erect such a system upon tlic ruins of tho present constitutional basis withont overcoming the mnjority of tho Left, 1t s with the view of overcoming this major- ity that AL De Fonrou, tho strongest party ofganizer fn France, was givon thoportfolio of the Iutorior. Ho hagnlready commenced his work with tho purposo of influoncing tho forthcoming clections. e lhns removed Republican Prefects by tho wholesalo, Liaa slready commenced warning and censuring the Nepublican press, and s scattoring his civculars and threats broadeast, Mo is or. ganizing in every clection distriet, appoint- jug men who oan be relied upon to manipu. lato tho voting urne it noceasary and manu- facture majorities, and running tho busineuy upon {bo Amerlcan machine plan, It is renlly o strife for office, spoils, and power, in which the President, his Cabinot, and tho Monarchists on thé ono lhand are arrayed ogainat the majority of tho people of France on tho other. The Now York Evening Post, in discussing tho probabilitios, says: ‘The Duke may do nuch during a few months of prorogation toward the political organization of his fullowers; N. Founvou, tbe Minlster of the Intcrior, the best orgsnizer of partics in France, wminy traln Lle new Profects and Mayors to the high- est paich of ciclency throughout tho provinces; the joluts mni hingvs of tho party machinery may e 80 porfectly Jubricated that on the day of clec- tion every Ocleanist, avery Legitimist, snd every Toiperialist may ba brought to the urus before mid. day; ut unices 1o Dako can aluo dircct the spirit- ual forces, unlesd Lo clerical body politlc that care tled thelr congregationa alniost in budics to the polls under the Third Narorgox can also bo nsed to influence tho wavering voter, the regime will never come Lo pass, 1t {s slight wonder, then, that the Republican lcaders are prompt to suspect the Ultrawontanism Lo which the Dakols alzeady bear- fogginte. Thero s s remoto possibility that tho conspirators against popularliberty mny suc- ceed, but thero is also overy probability that they will not suceced, and that, in the event of a now election, tha majority of the Left will be oven moro overwhelming (han it is now, Every Fronchman knows that thenow Ministry relies npon tho Church to carry out its measures, and that its success Involves the success of tho Cloricals, and, furthermors, that the success of tho Clericals involves the acceptance of the dogma of infallibility, with oll that it jmplies. He knowsthat it implies not only that the Popa shall bo refnstated as temporal Prince over the Statcs of the Ohurch, but that the political power must yield supremacy to the spiritual power in overy country where Ultramontanism {8 in the majority, Io knows, furthermore, that this is absolutely and morally certain to in- volve France in war with Germany and Italy. The people of Frauce do pot want war, The organization of the Republic was 8 movement in the interest of peaco. It was the allcontrolling sen- timent of the lnst election. Tho scheme of tho great Exposition for next year wasiu. tended to cmphasize this desire. How strong this deairo is, is shown by the immense in- crenso of Rapublican maforities oven in strong Republican districts. Bvery warliko movement of-tho German Government, every growl of Brsmancx at clerical oneroachment, only intensify tho desire for poaco, Thoy aro not only bitterly opposed to Ultramon- tano agitation but nlso to dynastie, whether it be Legitimist, Bourbon, or Orleonist, be- enuso they know such ngitation means eivil war betwoon factions. Thoy want peaco at homo and abrond, They aro even willing to rolegnto tho Alsace-Lorraino problem to the futuro for solution. Thoy kuow that Alsaco is Germanized beyond recovery, nnd as to Lorraine they are willing to wait what the future maybring. There is ovory probn- bility, thorefors, that the machine of M. Dz Fontou will be smashed, and that the olec- tion will ond in tho defeat of tho Ministry and in an increased Republican majority. Should MaoManox thon continuo in his des- potie nnd violent defianco of the majority, ho may wake up some fine morning and find himself in tho midst of n Revolution. —— . x CUSTOM-HOUSE ABUBES, Tho facta revealed in tho examination at tho Now York Qustom-House seoms to sur- priso no person moro than thoy do tho chief oflicera of that establishment. Gen. Geonan H. 8Bnarrz, tho Survoyor of Customs, has in his department four doputics and 282 in- spectors, at §4 each. Ho could not undar- stand how that forco could bo reduced 10 per cent, becanso the work required first- class and officient men as he then had under Lim. Atnlater day Gon, BrARrE was some- ‘what takon aback whon ho was shown n long list of his inspectors who wero saloon- kaepers, It npponra that thero are thirteen weighers, oach of whom has a foroman, clerk, and a gang of Inborers, Mr. Tunxune, one of tho Examining Commission, suggeat- ed that tho business thero was done thus: *The weigher holds the office, the foreman hives the laborers, tho clork keopa the roll and poys tho wages, ond tho nssistant woigher, who gota 40 conts an hour, ia the wan who aotually takes the weights.,” On this showing Gen. Smanre sdmitted that oithor the woighors, the foromen, or clerks conld bo dispensed with. ‘Tho Springfleld Republican states that tho oftico of Naval Officor nttached to tho Cus- tom-Honse at Doston is a more porquisite of Now IIampshire polities, At Boston and Now York tho offices aro fat oncs,—a liberal salary and a large sharo of the forfeitures. Thero aro practically no duties whatover to Vo pertormod. Thae Naval Oficer in Now York defondedjthe offico on the ground that it an- nually detected mistakes in the Colloctor’s oftico by which tho Governmont would lose $1,500,000. Thesalariesof his offico amount- cd to §140,000 n year. Tho Naval Officor nover considored the fact that tho Collector's ollico, conductod at n cost of saveral millions of dollars annually, ought to ho 8o managad s to dispense with another dopartment cost~ ing $140,000 and perquisites to watch it. He did not say who watched tho Naval Offices’s dopartment. Mr, McMuarnow, who has beon in the offico over thirty years, and is chief clork of onoof tho divisions, among other things, spoaking from personal knowledge, said : The preat drawback to tho business of tho Custom-Honso was tho complicated Tarift law. It ‘wonid be bottor to make ull dutlea on ataple goods od valorewm. If oll dutics woro ad valorem, the collection wonld be much more eastly made. It wonld not bo possible to mako all dutlos spoelfic. Frauds would bo equally casy or dificult whether the duty waa ad valorom of specific. Tha 20 conta fcoa legolly demandod of merchanta ho thought 8 sotrca of great annoyanceto the morchant, It took aa much of tholr time to pay tho Government 20 cents as 81,000, Mr. Ilontxaox asked If theso small feesconld not be pald by afixing etamps like rovenuo Atamos to tho entries, The witncss thought this was fesslblo, and wonld eimplify busincss. Thea last contributlon for political pur- poscs waa 2 per cenl, 1f tho Custom-Ilonse conld bo telieved from political pressarc,” and the Col- lector conld pick kis forcoand direct the businoss 1ike tho Preeldent of a bank or a rallrond, Ho thought the expenscs of tho Custom-Ilouse could bo cut Jown 20 per cont, i did not think that o It tho adjournment was in any way tho ro- salt of this apecch, thon Icaoz'a long silence—his protrncted silonco—in n cause of gonoral regrot, ond has beon a sorious loss to tho Btate. Bhtoh n speoch, with such dis- porsing power, had it beon delivered on the 18t of March, would hava saved tho State an immenso amount of ovil. Tho spoech itself contained mnch truth. Taxation in Iilinois is barbaric,—it ap. pronches that of Egypt nnd Turkey. The Chineso system of taxation is to increase taxes on a man so long as ho will pay; and, when ho is no longer ablo to pay, to kill lim and take whatever property he may havo had. The Iilinols system has not yob renched the point of killing, but the por. centago of confiseation {s incrensed overy year, and tho final taking i3 only o mntter of time. The prosent Legislaturo has done all in its power to bhaston tho period whon tho tax will consume tho property, Corpo- rations in this Btate have abandoned thoir enterprises. A score or moro of railroad corporations havo gona inlo bankruptey. Withina year tho banks have withdrawn sev. ernl millionn of their banking capital to avoid coxcessivo taxation, which, at4 or 5 per cont, was consuming their substance. All appenls to the Legislatare havo failed to roach thoso whoso senso of honring wns in weak proportion to tho magnitude of their suricular appondages. The way to reduce taxation is to roduce expenditurcs, Tho loss money spent, tho less revonue will have to bo raisod by taxation. Butin Illinols, now that tho State is out of dobt, has no intorest to pay, and whoso legitimate oxpenses conld be mot by a merely nominal® tax, tho expenditures aro greator than whon tho Stato was emorging from Ingolvency. Tho idea of reducing oxpenditures ns o menns of reducing taxes does not seem to have ocenrred to Hoaaz, of Fayotto, though ho is 43 years of nge. Though ho claims that tho farmera of Groonland are taxed vory heavily, it doos mot seem to have struck him that if tho approprintions had boon ro- duced one-half, the tax would only have beon one.half of what it will bo for 1877, Ilis idea of reducing taxation is to double tho ex- ponditures, and then havo the taxes lovied on o fow persons owning proporty in corporations. Tho farmers will have no taxos to pay, save those which Hoaoe, of Fayotto, nged 43, and his associatos have ap- propriated in advanco. If they are taxed to denth, tho rosponsibility is on the Hoaaes in tho Legialature, The good peoplo of Chieago aro taxed on the ordinary valua- tion of their proporty and on GO0 por cont moro ndded to it by the Stato Board. The farmors of Groenland nro taxed to pay for their own achools; but the people in Chicago aro taxed not only for their own schools, but 100,000 or mora to pay for the schools in Fayotto and other countics. Hoace is n Domoerat, though ko is 43 yenrs of ago, and oven a3 8 Domocrat ho ought to know that the schomo of {aking one mou'a land to pay anothor man's debts is neither Democratio nor honest; and that if it were attompted in Tayotta it would produco aviolent heat, cven in Groonland's iey monntainis,—that s, if Greenland Lns any mountains, icy or other- wise, Though Hogow's maiden (age 43) spocels was unsound thoorotically, nssuming that it hastened tho final adjournment of tho Logislature, wo aro disposed to pardon much, and to ‘ovon . oxpross the hopo that if thero ovor bo nnother such Logislature in Dlinois that Hoooz, of Fayette, will be thero, and will epeak early and, if nood bo, often. P —— THE BILVER QUESTION. The groonback delusion which prevailed romowhat extonsively a fow yonrs ago isnot extinot yot. 1t wnsa common thing then to hear orators liko Sax Cany, and Hoorsw, and Gen. Ewrno declare, and to read thot conventions had resolved, thatall that was necdod to make ' monoy was to ‘put a Gov- ernment stamp on a picco of pnper, loather, or brass, and forthwith tho commodity be- currency long boforo thers was any ooin- ago making it a logal tender, and it did not require to bo made lega! tendor to circulate. Ameriean gold or silver has the samv valna in all other paris of the world, whother in the form of coin or metal. Tho stamp adds nothing to it; the want of the stamp takes nothing from it. If all the Gov- ornmonts of the earth werato discontinuo of- ficial coinage, and abolish nlllawarelating to s use s money, placing it on the same commer. cial lovol with the othor matals, the valuo of gold and of silver wonld probably undergono substantial chango, In thenbsencoofnational 1aw on tho snbjact, commerco wonld creato a 1aw by which so many ounces of sflver wonld equal 8o many onnces of gold; and tho trnf- fic between mon and nations would be gov. erned as now by the weight of gold or silver that wonld be oxchanged for given quantitics of breadsiuffs, clothing, fuol, and other things. Making silver n legnl tender in the United Blates, and authorizing its freo and un. limited ' coluago in the shape of the old American dollar, would cronte an additional uso for the motal which is nmow pro. dnced in oxcess of what the Government allows to circulate. It would give a mar. kot for tho motal which ia now closed. Apart from this, makiog it a lognl tonder would hardly affoct tho relative prico of silvor and gold. Each wonld command the world's prices in tho othor. The stamp would not make tho silver sell for any more, and the want of it would not reduco ita valuo {n any market. In the nstter of groenbacks, tlho legal tonder provision gavo them a value for tho poyment of dobts, but thelr real valuo rested on tho promise that they woald eventually be redeomed,—in coin or in bonds. Making thom n logal tonder in payment of debts, did not compel any person to take thom in exchange for = goods. Their purchasing power has alwnys beon moasured by the amount of gold that could be obtained for thom. While all transac. tions havo beon nominnlly carried on with greenbacks countod -as dollars, trade has really tokon place on the valuo of greon- backs in coin. Bo, after all, specie valuos liave provailod,—thie mensars of the deprecin- tion of tho paper and an additional margin for fluctuations being added thoroto. Had tho greonbacks no promise of ovontual ro- demption, no promiso or lopo or ox- pootation of boiug redeemed in tangi. blo values, thoir lifo would have been o short one. As lognl-tenders for tho poymont of dobts thoy would hava sorved a purpose for a time, but now debts would havo beon contracted for on some other bnsig, and the greeenbacks would have rap- idly consod to have any purchasing powor or any powor to pay debts. Wnlike tho gold or silver, they would then have no intrinsio value. Our correspondent, therofore, whon ho claima that it ia the law and not the material which gives the valae to money, and that to make greenbacks o full logal tendor that is rocelvabla for dutics on imports, is mistakon. A merchant’s promissory uote moy bo ox- changeabla at par, thongk it has no intrinsio valuo and is not a legal tondor; its valuo is tho confidonco that fa folt iu fta payment at maturity. If such payment be questionablo or uncertain, its valuo would bo diminished. If tho greonback wero redeomable in coin, it wonld bo equivalent in valuo to the coin, oven if it were not a legal tonder, To mako tho greonbacks recotvable for dutiss on ous- toma would not have the cffoct of making them oqual to gold, Greenbncks will now purchaso flour, but tho samo numboer of gold dollars will purchase s groater quantity of flour, If dutics are made payablo in green- backs, it will bo oguivalont to & rodac. tion of dules. Merchants now sell thoir goods for greonbacks; thoy .gell the greonbacks for gold with which to poy the dutica, The Govormment oithor thoy ahiall devote a part of thoir time to this part of thoir businoss? A fow convictions and fines would do more to inculcate a pop- ular respect for tho ordinanco than anything else, Lot us seo whot Buperintendent Creveranp can do in this diroction; or, if this duty of tho office is disagracabla to him, porhaps tha Mayor may be able fo find somo onewho will assume tho offica of Building In. spoctor with the understanding that prose. entlons for violation of the ordinanco con- stituto tho chiof businessof the dopartmont. Tho fnercnso of tho forco had botior bo do- forred till this new effort is made. The salient pointa of the fire-ordinance are easily loarned, and it would not bo diffieult to in- struct the polico s0 thnt thoy may look out for violations within their boats and roport them at hoadquarters. The ordinnnco cor- tainly ought to be enforced botter than it hns been, but weo think it can ba dono without ineronsing the number of officcholdora, to turn ont of somo Federal offico an odlitor op publisher who has united with the Bourbons jp abusing the President.
