The lutter body elected M. Guevz Provisional President by u vote of 30 aguivst 170, and M.

He expecta the President to veto the bill ont of deferonce o Sccrelary SHERMAN's ' views, but it is far more likely that the ! Prosident's spproval will be given, bnsed npon the eminently sound doctrine that where the views of tha people and the views’ | of the Becrotary of the Treasury differ, th latter must eithier snbmit or resign. ! The Braxp Silver bill proves to bo in an’ . anomalous parlinmentary position. 1t was pnt npon its passage under a suspension of the rules, but wout over for one week, And came up last Monday as nunfinished business, Tn the meantimo Mr, Brasp withdrew from the custody of the Clerk the bill first futro- dnced, and substituted a Uill agreed upon by the Banking and Currency Committee, the latter varying from the Bravp bill on the subject of free coinnge. Thero can be no claim that the Honso failed to voto with a fuil understeuding in passing the Dill, as it wns road twico in full, but it appears thot & technical point in parliamentary practico hns been mised, and that Spesker RaNDALL conceives it to bo his duty to declaro the vote n nullity by which the bill was passed, on the ground thiat the bill which went over na unfinished business was ot the bill which esme up un- der that privilege and was passed. It may thereforo becomo necessary to withdraw the bill from the Senatoand passit over again under s suspension of the rules, pro ‘Tats TrinusE yesterday published the sub- stanco of a statement made by a member of the Republicau Execntive Committee con- cerning tho surreptitious chnngo that was mada in the ticket 1n regard to tho Btate. ouse tax, inwhich Mr, C. B. Fanwewn's unne was mentioned. A Poat reporter in- terviewed that gentloman yestenday, who gove (his explanation : Heporter—Dut how about that mysterlous lino on those tickits, Mr. Fanweiny Farwell—Well, you may say this about those tickets: that the Exccntive Committee, of which I wag Chalrman, In seasion upon the State Appro- priation tax, moved that a.confereuce with tho Democrats be had upon the aucstion. The object 1f the question could nol be taken out of vass altogether. A sub-commitico was ap- pointed, —of which I wwas not a membor,—lo call upon the Democrata, sud they agreod to vota for the Insertion of tbe appropriation line. ‘The Sub-Committe which was appointed by Mr. Fanwstt, consisted of Senator Rrp- nre, of the Wost 8ide, R, 8. Tuoxrsoy, of Hyde Yark, and If, B, Bmavrox; but we cannot Jearn that the Sub-Committeo ever mado a report to the Executive Committes stating the result of the conference, or nsk. |. ing to havo it confirmed, or oven that the Exccntive Committeo bad any knowledgaeof iho dishonest bargain thai wos made strik. ing off of the tickets the lino ‘*Agninst the State-flouss tax,” For several dnys provi- oun to tho election tho Exccativo Com- mitteea of both partios assured eoverybody who inquired that all the tickets wounld bo printed “For" and ‘*Aguinst,” so that the voters conld take their choice, 'Tho Z'imes, Democratio organ, gives a vérslon of tho transaction in which it is alleged that Alr, Coantes B, FanweLsn wrote out an agrocment, signed it, and seut it over to tho Democrats, and that Miees Kenor wrote ont a similar document and sent over to Fanwewy, pledgivg themsclves to have all the city tickets printed ** For" the 531, 712.18 Btate-Housa tax. Senator Suorr, of Bpringfleld, appears to have ‘‘fixed” the Democratio Committes, and Josy Busx, of Springtleld, scems to lave performed the same operation on the managing men of the Tepublican Committee. The whole trick was one not to be proud of, aud, like other frauds, it will return to plegue the inventory, TUESDAY'S ' ELECTION. ‘There aro thonsands of men in Chieago who are rojoicing, ss thoy have redson to rejoice, at the result of the eleotion on Tnes- day, whodid not tako tho time to vote, For- tunately, however, thero were enough citl- zong who wera impressed with the nocessity plunder it, Four years ago, in 1873, thero was a grand struggle made at tho fall cloc- tion, in wlich the professional political burg- lars captured both the City and Couuty Gov- ernmonts, The City Government was a rich prey for a timo, and at last wns so plun- money nnd credit, So desperate hod it be- the city wers aroused to united action. Fimt, by the elece tion of Mr. Horsk as Mayor, with a Common Council sclected from tho best and most in- fluentind citizons, the carcer of tho wreckers and thieves was arrested. A few mounthis lator Mr. ITeatu was olected Mayor, nud ngain in 1877, and by the aild of a first-clasy Com- mon Conneil the whole City Government has Leen purified and the publis credit restored. Anuual (axation bas beeu reduced $1,000,- 000, the nutsher of ralaried ofticers lorgely roduced, and tho cfficiency of the Govern- ment greatly increwsed. Driven from the city utlices, expulled from the.

Altogether, there is n deficit of about $1,000,000. The whole extent of tho wastefulness aud ex- travagance cannot be known until 8 change of officery takes placa, ‘The County Treasury is burdened with o pay-roll which contaips possibly 200 names boyond any necessity. 'The salarics puld in many instguces are epormouy and scandolous. Fiye uéw Comuissioners bave been eloot- ed who, with 8 fow bholding over, may be able to bring order out of profligate wuste. ‘Ybe discharge of useless ewployes, and o general reduction of salgries, snd a rigid serutiny of appropristionsand expendituses, way show that @ reduction. of taxastion is pousible, o3 well a3 a purification of the namo of Col.

The reform of tho Connty Board will include n reform of the jury rys- ter, a reform of the system of public chari- ties, and n reduction of expenditnre for the support of tho poor, insane, and the sick, and a great improvement of the (reatment of these classes. It is trne the people have refected tho proposition to issue n half-million of bonds for the Conrt-Ilouse. This rejection was due Democrats, vention. tago. Dnt subsequent negotiation betweon the two Comtnittees only comented the cor- rupt compact, and when the clection came tho workingmen conld only exhibit their rage and work out their revenge by voting the Communist ticket. It wns the only meats left to them fo protost against tho outrage practiced upon them. 'They Lnl been sold out, but they refused to be deliverod. And henee it wns that tho Communist ticket, which onlinarily would. not have polled 500 votes, received more than 6,000 votes, As it was, the Commaunist vote was con- fined very sirietly to certain limits. It was about evenly divided ULetween the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Wards, whera the Irish and Boliemians coniributed to- it, and the Fourteonth, Fifteenth, and Sixteonth Wards, whero it cousisted mainly of Germans and Seandinavians, The indication is that it came from both politicnl parties in about equal parts, and in all cases from certain foreign elements nttached to the two par- ties, Among the entire 6,000 who voted thoe Communist ticket, it fs probable that there wero not a dozen Amoricans, Theeo is no- danger of an infection of the Americans, nor of the native.born sonu of foreign parents, nor of those forcigners who bave lived long in thae country and have been thoroughly Amerieanized ; the Social- istic hereslos are too foreign to our justitu. tions and the Americau charaotor to-gain a foothold among ns. Nor is the surprisingly large vote polled by the Communists on Tuesday any indication of the contrary. Had the Industrinla maintnined a separnto organ- ization with the purpose of teating their political strepgth, leaving tho Communists to work ont their own destinies, the Intter swould searcely have Liad votes enough to ap- pear in tho roturns. It was only to protest agninst the sale to the Lies, Lyycm, and Dave TronxtoN party that induced oven n certmin portion of the forcign clement to vote with the Communists ns o protest against their betrayal, ! whom fen membors hold over, and to the uncertainty asto the choice of the now mem- bers. The new Bonrd, however, will, with the resources at their hands and by the ndoption of the policy of rigid cconomy fol- lowed by the City Government, bo nble to get along with the work until next year. | Economy, therefore, is not only comuenda. \ble, Lnt nn absoluto necessity, and tho Board $honld at once and peremptorily arrest any }fiuempm for any purpose lo creato any more flonting debt. The policy shonld be to ox- pond ouly what is on hand, aud to make this possible there shonld be n sovere euiting down of salaries and a latge abolition of offices, Thus, after o long season of notorious officinl plunder and robbery, the two Munic- ipal Governmenta have Leen rescued from the hands of the public encmies. 'The County Government will next month, unleas the public have been wonderfully deceived in the charncler of the men elccted, enter upon a now existence, It will have honest men in all the depsriments, bat ospecially an honest majority in the County Bonrd. The severe struggle it hns cost to accom. plish this change §s another proof of the tenncity with which offieial robbers hold on to offices of which thoy once get possession, It cost two years of labor to get rid of tho Covrviy Admiunistration, and as long to get rid of the Lien Government. The indiffer- ence of so many business men, nnd the power of party caucuses, strengthen all kinds of corruption in office. In rejoicing over this deliverance from tho County Ring it should not be forgotten that it will require at the next election ns general & union of reputable citizens to prevent that Ring from again getting placo snd power. — PENNSYLVANIA AND MASSACHUSETTS. A useful political lesson may be gained from a comparison of the results of Toes. day’s election in Pennsylvania and Mnsea- chusotts. In ench Stato tho sitnntion was peculinr and striking. In Pennsylvania the CaxenoN faction had mranged matters 50 a8 to hit if it wns n deer and 1niss if it wns a calf. They refused to permit the Repnblics on party to give n fratik and cordinl indorse- ment of the President's policy, and claimed that it was duo to their iufluence that the Administration was not openly condemned, This left them in a position to say, in caso of a Republican defeat, that the Stato could not be carried in the face of tho popular dislike of tho President's pol- icy, ond, in caso of Republican suocess, that it was their loyalty to the party which carried it throngh. In either event, the re. gult was to be n vindication of the Caszroy faction nud a robuko to the Administration. The inevitable consequence of such a double-~ faced programmo was utter demoralization, ‘The malcontents, sccratly assured that they wera conrting the favorof the Caaenoy clan, rofused to vote the Republican ticket. The Liberal Ropublicans became indiforent in tho face of a programme especially designed for tho glorifiention of the CaMrnons, what. avar tho result might be. The Democrata saw their opportunity and mnde the most of it, The storyot the Massachusetts cnmpaign was a vory differont one. ‘There wore formida. ble factions in that Btato. WeNnELL Piinrirs wna leading one in person under tho bannor of the Wotkingmen. The TIroldbitionists made more show of strengih than usual, nod tho disaffected Republicans joined in the effort to brenk down the regular ticket, It was conoeded that Gaston, the Democrntic nomiuee, was personally much more popular than Tice, the Itepublican nominee. Tho regular Republican orgavization was embar. rassod and threatened on all sides, In the face of all these disagivantages the Republic. ans took a bold, wauly, and patriotio stand, Tho Massachusetts Iepublicans are enti. tled to the distinction of being the first to give Presidont Haves an unequivocal in. dorsement and tho prowmiss of hearty co- operation. They applanded his Southern policy as patriotic aud wise, and they encour- aged his efforts in beholf of Civil-Servico reform by strong words 6f approval. Thoy ‘were moro outspoken than the Republicans of Onio; they sald that the President was not merely nctuated by puro and patriotic wmotives, but that he was doing the only thing that was right and proper to be done. .| The result was a Republican majorily in the Stato that exceeded tho expectations of the most ssuguine, Iad TPennsylvania done likewise, there would have been a Itepublican Instend of a Democratio victory in that Btate; the walcontents would not then have boen apy more numerons than thoy have been under the CaMenoN programme, and the Re- publicans would then have gaiued two votes for uvery une thoy lost by reason of Lonesty and good faith, A NATIONAL SAVINGS SYSTEM, The recent failurcs of tho private savings ingtitutions throughout tho country ocea. sioned a very goneral demand for soma na- tional systom which should guarantee abso- ‘uto protection for savings deposits at a low rato of interest ; and now Mr. Pmitrirs, a Kansas member of Cougress, has jutroduced into tho Houso a bill dusigned to provide the desived mnchinery. The chiel merit of tha Dill, judging from the bare outline that is prosonted by (elegraph, is that it nnites the postal systern with the bond system, While there may be wide differenco of opinion ns to tho, regulations in detail, and while theso regulations should be subjected to careful scrutiny before flnal adoption, it is obvious that the deposit and Lond system should go together; onch has beon advocated to tho ox- clusion of the other, hut Loth have thoir ad- vantages, and theso advantages are ineronsed ou oither sido by co-operation. 'The poatal-doposit systern offers immediato and constant opportunities for tho safe invost- ment of amouuts too small to bo nccom- modated by the bond syatem ; and the bonds, on the other haud, constituto a more per. manent forin of investment, which will pnss from hond to band aud roleaso tho Govern. ment from (ho necessity of keoping any Inrge redemption fund wherowith to meot demands. It {s evidently for the purpose of encouraging the chasgo from deposits to bonds that Mr, Puretees' bill makes a dis. tinction between the intercst paid on ench ‘his bill authorizes the paymoent of 8 per cont intorest on the doposits and .65 intereat on the Londs, and provides that bonds hall bo issued in donominations of 325, 850, 3100, nud 8200, Tho Ingher mto of fn- terost drawn on the bonds will furnivh tho inducement for depositors in the postal y bauks to chouge thelr de- posils ioto bouds us rapidly as thoy accumulate to tho amounta for which bonds shall bo fsaned, aud whenever thoy do not look forward to an immediate or curront usa of the money, 'The bonds themselves, how= ever, aro sure o Lo of o negotinble charac- ter, and, indeed, can practicully be used as currency in puyment of sums approzimating their valuo. ‘Thus, n $100 bond, bearing fu- terest at 8.65 per cent per annum, will al- ways bo taken for its face with acerued in. terest nddod at the rato- of one cont o day. But the law, in order to provide'nll the ac- commodation expected of jt, shounld also fur- nish n snfoty-deposit for the bonds, ay those who buy the bonds for the investment of surplus carvings will, ns o rule, bhave no better facilitics for their safe keop- ivg than for thosafo keeping of so much currency. ‘We should say that the Purreies bill {4 ob. jectiounble on secount of cortain of its rue strictions. It proposes, for inatance, to lim. it the deposits to $200 in awount, and to roceive ns little as 25 cents, Of courso there whould be a Jimit to the wmount raceived from any one depesitor, in onder to maintain the savings feature Intact, and to avoid everything in the nature of o genoral bauking business, but the sum of $200 i wanifeatly too small, InEngluod the amount received from any one depositor ruus as high as 500, wo believe, and it should certainly uot be less in this country ; o proper et mate of tho relative value of wmoney in the United Btates and FEngland would almost warrant fixing tho limit in tLis country at double that of the English postal bauks, Nor is the requiremont of ninety dayshnotica at all in kecping with the pnrpose of tho systom, while it I8 certainly caleulated to discourage the deposit of savings, Nixty days is the most that the private savings bauks are over permitted to withhold de- posits after notice, and the applicution of this rulo §s left to the discretion of the officers and directors of the banks. . It would certainly be ill-advised to Jodge suy such discretionary power with tho Postwasters, All deposits up to o certain amount should be paid oun demand, and ouly sufficient notice should be ro- quired ‘from all others {0 cuable the local Postmaster to get o rumittance from the Treasury or nearest Sub-Treasury whero hv msy bave moucy deposited on account of postal suvings. The relations of the Pout- wasters with the Treasury and nearest Bub- ‘I'veasury ahould be strictly dofined, in order to give no latitudo for the personsl use of these postal fupdu, It is an error to assumo that the Govern. ment will over be in ths - position of paying interest onany lurge sum of money which it canxot use, by reasou of this postal-sav- ings system. ‘Yhere will uever be avything like & pauio amoug savings depositors under The most surprising feature of the loenl election was that the Communist ticket polled Lotween 6,000 und 7,000 votes in the oity. Aa eloction-day approached, it scemed to be forgotten that there was any sach tick. et in tho tield. Tho newspapens paid no at- tentlon whatover to it. The campaign com. mittoes fgnored i, If it was thought of at all, it was ouly ns the' old Pansoxs-Mo- Avurvre gang that pever wustered more than & few hundred followers ou auy occa- sion, It was generally supposed that all the strength of the Workingmen's movements lud been swallowed up by the Democrats. Lynox and Ligs certainly thonght so; all tho surface indications were to that offect; and the Comwmunists, as a separate organizu- tion, were not cousidered s worthy of seri. ous consideration on auy side. How did it Lappen that, when clection-duy came around, they were'on hand with over 6,000 votes ? The explanation mow iy simple enough, ‘The Industrials started out to ropresent the workingmen, who did not atiliate with tho Communists on principle, The latter were ‘the fint in the field, and their declaration of principles was of a natare to alienate tho genulne workingmen. They adopted the National Communist platform, which in effect deuies alt individual property | rights, demands & leveling of all things, aud aims at the very destruction of socicty. It was plain enough that, other things being equal, the workingmen s a clasy would not subscribe to thuse outrageous theories; so another faction was orgsnized, which pro- fessed conservativo doctrines, and started ont with & fair prospect of gaining the good.will and active co-operation of tho laboring men. A Convention was held undor the name of the Industrials, and then it becamo ovident that the new movemont was smply desiguod %0 betray the workingmen into the hands of the The Convention rovealed it purpose at onco by nominating Ltrn and Lirxen, who had alrendy perfected their ar- rangements for ranning the Democratic Con. Some of the honest lenders of the workingmen protested, charged that tho Con- vention hiad solid ont, and made s effort still to rescue the Indnstrinls from the gang to whichi they had been sold for a mess of pot- first mot near Koprokoi, but the Turks did not risk n gencral ongagement, and hurried in disorder nnd oceupled Dove-Boyun, a very strong position on tho crest’ of the mouns of Stail, of his army are in Erzingen and 'frebizond, all of Lis misfortuncs, MurnTan Pasha soems a revengo. studies, howaver, hie was traveling as fast as with the victorions Rhssians following him like tho whirlwind, Aftor he is ronted and zeroum he describes tho process to his Gov. ment at Dove-Boyun, nfter which wo re- such a syatom. Depoesitora will withdraw their money as they need it, and the with- drawals and deposita on the average will bear snch relationa that but a compnaratively small sum will be nceded as A resorve to meot domands, just as n 5 per cont reserve in the issue of the National Iiank notes ia snfficient to provide for all redemp. tion purposes. 'Che great bulk of the money thus deposited, either in tho postal bankas or the savings bonds, can Do safely nsed in buying in outatanding 6 per cent bLonde, then & per cent bonds, and o on. The saving of tho difference in intercst will ban profit to the Government so long ns thero ahall be outstanding bonds bearing more than 3.65 per cont intorest. Whenevor the national dobt shall be so much redneed, or the eavings deposits so much increased, that the Government shall owo only the amount represented by the savings fund and held exclusively at home, the nation can well af- ford tolot thopublic debt stand at that point, and fix taxation accordingly. of the precions and nsefal metals in tho arta; graph; of RarsAzL, T1TIAN, the mnsterpiecos AMicnen Avozro, best achiovemonts of the world, e can be conceived of. THE DEFEAT OF THE TURKS IN ABIA. Tho Turks are beaten in Asia, Armonina, by the fall of Erzeroum, passes inlo Russinn possession, and the campaign in that quarter may be considered nt anond.
