A remarknble illustration of tho pluck and nervo of the thoroughbred racehorse occur- red at Charlestou, 8. O., yesterday. A horse in tho four-milo desh broke his right hind leg shart off at the pastern when a littlo moro than half the distance had been trav- orsed, but the auimal refused to give up na- til the full four miles were finished, —— Tho Bultaz hos invited the Grand Duke Nicuovras to spend a fow days with him in Constantinople, and at the samo timo has refused o firman permitting tho British fleat to enter tho Dardanellos and como up to Constantinople, The Turks evidently de- cided to administer the kick without giving the hint. Of coursoe anothor Cabinet moet- ing lins been hinstily called in London, and somo more windows will be smashed. Judge Jamesox, presiding at tho Criminal Court, yesterday declded that ConnzLny and Bnrnny, the two young men indicted for the murder of Tlvan McCoxvivre, shall bo tried togathey, and that therr trial uhall take place in Cook County, thus donying two motions entered by the counsel for Coxnetry,~—the fient for o suparate tria), and the second for a change of venue. Both decisions wero nlike in nccordance with justice and witli the demnnd that the people make in this coye for a spoedy trial Our dispatches this morning announce the death of tv/o eminent Americans: the Hon, Ginroy WeLves, Secrotary of the Navy in Presldent Lancown's first Cabinet, who died ot Hartford, Conn., last evening; oud Wirriae Wersy, tho wealthy philan- thropist of Philodelphin, brother of the Hon. Jomn Wersu, United States Minis- ter to England, and prominently identified with Indion affairs, The death of Mr, ‘Weires was not unexpected by his friends sud family, but that of Mr. Wezisu waa ab. solutely nnheralded by sny note of warning, ‘heartlisease being the cause. Itis a matter of congratulation fo the tax- payers of Cook County that the Board of County Commissioners have been fairly co erced by the power of public seutiment into rescinding their recent award of the meat sontract to O'Dossesy without competition snd ot a fixed prico in excess of what other dealers would be glad to furnish ment for, 1t the new Riug intended it as o test of the atent to which favoritism could bo carried without provoking a storm of publio indig- nation, the experiment was suceesaful, for it showed clearly that Ring favoritism of this burefaced desctiption and on o scale of this maguituds will not bo tolerated. ‘Ihe Board was wise in deferring to the popular prejudios sgainst joby and steals, and iu adopling the eufv and honest plan of purchasing supplies «mbodied in Mr. Benyg's resolution offered wwveral weeks uge The mtuation in which the Olty Govern. went is placed Ly the decision of the Bu- prewo Court in ruference to the illegality of tho city certificates way last evening lald be- tore the Cowmmon Council in & communica- tiou from Msayor Mratu, and, although it way evident thot the Aldermen wers pro foundly impressed with the scrious aspect of affuirs, uobody scemed prepared to discusa the matter intelligently, and it was thought Russian occnpation.” in enticipation of it may issue orders on the Treasury pay. able out of collected, but such orders must bo issned in payment and withont any recoursa against the oity. The docisions omphatically prohibit the issue of ony intorost-bedring paper, and deny the power of the city to maks an appropriation or to lovy a tax to pay any interest on any such peper. It is well for citizens genorally to follow this de. cigion to ita logical conclusions, and to ask in what condition it leaves tho city. If the city cannot pay Interost on its revenue or. dors, thon no holder of such orders can gell them at such a rato of discount ns will pro. hibit their negotiation. tho elly has to go on with the Government, and how to do this without money and with- ont the privilege az anticipating its rovenue ia just the problom. prdent to ndjonrn until Thursday evening of this week, when it is hoped the Finance Committee will bo abla to suggesat some way out of the grave difficulty. It Is perfeotly obvious that tho Council and the Mayor are equally resolved that no taint of repudintion shall attach to the nction of tho municipal authorities, and that some plan will be de- vised whereby the city's credit can be main- tained in this awkward dilamma. — e If any doubt existed as to whether a com- plote alliance had been formed between Rus- sia and Turkey, it 18 removed by tho official announcement from 8t. Petersburg that the Czar, in consequonce of England's application for pormission to sond her floet to Constantinople, fucls compelled to tako into consideration the ne- cessity of the occupation of that city by the Russinn troops. Further, it is somi-officially reported that orders have been forwarded to the Grand Duke Nicrmoras to enter and tako possession of the city at once, Buch a stop implies 0 scorot agreoment with the Torte, without whose essent the movement upon Constantinople could not be a peace- able one, but wonld amount to a viola- tion of the armistico end n reopening of active hostilities. It may thorefore boe taken for granted that Russia ocouples the city with tho Sultan’s full con- sent and co-operation, and that the curious and alarming spectacle may soon be pre- nented of the British ironclads moored in the Dospliorus abreast of the city, and of Rus. sian artillerists manning the monster cannon which command the narrow water-way from cither shore. Under such a contingency it is not strange that the Emporor WiLLiax of Germany should regard the sltuation as critical in the extromo, and that the London Times should gravely conclude that ** overy. thing now depends upon the nature of the ANCES, It is timo for citizons to look the financial situation of the City Government fairly and squaroly in the face, The Supreme Conrt has, in two cases, at an interval of one year between them, Inid down, in a very emphatic mnnner, that the City Government cannot carry on its affairs excopt on a cash basis, This is progtically the decision. In the firat place, it is asserted that the ity debt having alrendy reached the ultimate limit, it is not lawful for the city to incur any debt in addi- tion ; that it cancot borrow any money ita rovenno; that taxes actuaily levied when In the meantime, Fortunately, this decision comes before the making of the anaual appropriations, Tha City Council havo now before themn the law, and must govern thomsclves according. ly. that conmob Lo expended. The city is nbout one year behind in ita financos, Tho practice of nuticipating its revenuo Itis of nouse to mnke appropriations to meot current expenditures being peremp- torily prohibited, the city must MNmit its ex. pendituro to the cash means at its commaend, and it has no cash means. The duty of tho Common Conncll, thoreforo, is a plain one, It must reduce the expouditures for all pur- poses of curront govornment, say one- third or one-half, and it must provide for the collection of a cash fund to mect this difficulty horenfter, priation and tax-lovy for 1878 will not be col. lected until August, 1879, excopt a small portion in January, February, aud Aarch of next year. While a reduction of ordinary npproprintions, eny to $2,000,000, and a total tax-levy for £4,000,000, may do much to meot the difficulty noxt year, it loaves the city for the present yoar in tho extraordinary potition of a Goveroment without money, Unlesa citlzens voluntarily advance the monoy nnd wait for its payment until ‘The appro- Augnst or Septomber, it will not be possible for the Comptroller to pay even the intergst on the funded debt, Itis nouse railing agalnst the SBupreme Court, or in domanding a rehearing of this question. Thnt does not meet tho plain and {mmedinto iasuo that the clty must reduce its exponditurcs to the minimum ; it must cou. tract {ta expenditures for schools, for police, for firomen, for gas, for improvements, and for sawors, to n sum within tho cash menns which will probably be availablo. erations of the Board of Public Works The op- should be limited to indispensable repairs. Thero 15 a fund for the partial support of the achools outside of the special city tax, and tho reduction would bo mitigated by that fact. It is not, howaver, a matter of choice, but one of necessity, and as such we com. mond it to tho attentlon of the public as a great public embarrassmoent from which thoro is no escape, and which will call for a liberal display of substantial patriotism, A SHYLOCE INSULT TO CHICAGO, 1In the course of tho debate on the Bilver bill in the House on Baturdny last, Mr, CurrreNnex, of Now York, took occasion to ingult the City of Clicago by a veferenco to the silver meeting hold hero last December, in which Lo declared that the **Blylocks" of tho East wero the *‘active busiuces men ond bankers who had given Chicago s round million of dollars in the timo of her trouble, which had boen hopelessly squandered in Quixotic venturss"; aud that, after New York had helped to set Chicago on her feet, she was now in favor of debasing the cur- rency 50 a8 to pay but 00 cents on the dollar and establish o 90-cent money, This is the substance of Mr., CmTreNoew's taunt, the assurance and insolence of which onght not to pass unvebuked. It is, in the first place, universally con. ceded to be one of the meanest and jnost contermptible traits of human nature, aftor do~ ing a chisritable act of extending nssistance to & suffering fellow-being, to cast it up in his fuce afterwards and taunt him with it. Itis especially mean and contemptible to do this geatultonsly and without provocation, and to travel out of the record and throw it i ono's face becauso of s difference of opinion upon a subject which has no connection, di- rect or indirect, with the originul act of charity, It {s o courso which honorable mon never pursue and never would pursue, even under the strongest provocation. If Now York bad boen visitod with a calamity similar to thet which aflictod Chicago in 1871, it she had beon swdpt with fire, for in- atance, from tho Dattery to tho Windsor Ho- tel, if thousanda npon thonsands of her peo- ple suddonly found themselves homeless, withont food, elothes, or monoy and on the verge of a severs winter, sho would not have appealed to Chicago in vain for help, There is no Now Yorker who will hava the temerity to stand up and say that Chicago would not do in such a contingoney just ns much in proportion to her ability as New York did for us. But there is this difference ‘between Chicago and New York—in case of a controversy upon an nbstraot question, hav- ing no connectidn with the deed of charity, in which Chicago got the worst in the argn- ment, sho would not hava taunted New York by reminding her of the daya of her trouble and sorrow when she had to call upon the world for help to get on her feot again. Now that New York, through one of her Reprosentatives, and in the most public manner possible, throwa back her charity into our f{aces and tannts ns with it, wo have a right to look into the motives of that charity, aud ascertain if all the obligation resta npon us, and if wo nro eo bound and loadod down by the kindness of New York that wé mnst rest silont undor nil the con- tumely she may see fit to thrust upon us, Now that Mr. Crrrrexpzy has opened the question, and in an insolent manner, we may retort with the doclaration that Now York conld well afford to assist Chicago to riso out of her nshes. The sooner Chicago was set upon hor feet, the better it was for New York, Ohicago was her best customer in the United Btates. For ton or twelve years provious to the fire sho had sold moro goods, and done more trade, and made more monoy out of Chicago than out of any other ity in the country. If she loaned monoy here, she received o fruit- fol roturn in large and abundant interest. If sho speculated in our real es- tate, she made immanse profits npon hor in. vestments, There was no way in which she had financial denlings with us in which she did not mako plenty of monoy out of us, and, being such a profitable customer and unwilling to lose us, or, moro atrictly sponk- ing, unable to do withont us, it was for Ler interest to holp us. Ohicago has made nbundant recognition of that assistance. 8ho has acknowledged tho favor in full, with all that it implies, aud it now seems to im- ply that New York mon can descend to the contemptible act of throwing it up in our faces. At the samo time, wo do not forgot that for every dollar Now York has glven us sho hos mady a hundrod ont of us, Finally, what has the charity of New York in 1871 o do withthe attitudo of Chicago on the silver question in 18787 Because Now York helpod us saven years ago, is that to prevent us from having any opinion ever afterwards upon finnncial questlons? Can wo have no opinion upon what constitntos money? No option in what monoy we shall pay our debta? No opportunity, with the proofs ail abont us, to declaro that tho hard timos grow out of the mono.metallio syatem which keeps the country continually ham- pored by a falling market? Itis a aingular logio which docides that, because we wero once burned out and relieved in part by Now York, thereforo we must oxpress no opinions upon fiscal questions, And yet this is the logio which Mr, Carrrexpex employs! Does this gentleman represent the real sentiments of tho peopla of New York, or does ho only express his own views? In ocither case, ho haoa ncted with insuffornble impertinence and with on Insolenco which shonld be se- verely and promptly resonted by our Repro- sontatives. ¢ b SILVER STEALTHILY DEMONETIZED, When the German Government proposed M scheme of recoinage and demonetlzation of stiver, 1t pranted ita plan and distelbuted it among sl the leading students of finance in tho Kingdom,—the rofeasors, bankems, and wrller-I ond #o on, and, r{ we romomber rightly, left 1t a yeaein thoir hands, and solicited thelr comments on i, befora attempting to legislate. 1n other words, it brought all the_ intelligence, experience, and jearning of the natlon to bear on the prublem veforo touching 8.—aNew XYork Nation, Feb. 1. How different wos the action of the United Btates .Government when it domon. otized silvor! It did not ask the advice of * profossors, bankers, aud writers,” or “print ita plan” of demonetization aud # distribute it among the leading students of financo " in the country, or bring * tho intelligence, experionce, nnd learning of the nation to bear on the problem bieforo touch- fugit.” Our Government had no ** plan” of domonctization, It did mot propose demonetization. It did not intend domon- otization. Neithor the Government as n whofe, nor auybranch of it, understood fully what it was doing when it demonetized silver. Wheon the Coinage nct of 1878 was beforo the Lower Houso of Congress, Mr, PorTen, of New York, said the introduction of such o bill at such a timo, when thera was no coln in tho conutry, *excited his suspicion,” and denounced it ns & ** cover to something not mado clear.” The reading of the bill was stopped in the Houso be. foro the mectlon omitting tho silver dollar from the coinage was reached. and in the Honote it was ot read at all, but was, ns a recent writer forcibly puts it, * sneaked through by tho Chairman of the Finance Committee.”" ‘The atealthy nature of the acta by which tho demonetization of sllver was prooured i shown, flrat, by the fact that the whole ob- Ject of the Coinage bill was not stated in its title. If the object was to romove the silver dollar from the list of colns hereafter to be minted in this country, it should have heen stated. A change of such importance ought nat to have been hidden nsit was, in “ A Bill for the Bettor Regulation of the Govern. ment Mints, and for other purposes.” ‘The vagus exprossion ** and for other purposea” is used pro forma in the titles of half the bills annually passed by OCongross. The proper oourse to pursue in throwing out the standard used from tho foundation of the Government would have been that adopted by the Gorman Government nund described by the Nation. ‘There should have been full discussion, consultation with * profess- ors, bankers, aud writers,” a ycar for reflec. tion, and, flnally, * A Dill Prohibiting the Coinago of the Hilver Dollar and Limiting Its' Legal-Tender Quality,” Thon the peo- ple would have known exactly what was in- tended, avd, if the bill undor such ciroum- stances had passod, thera could mow be uo occasion for complaint, % The manuer of demonotization waa stealthy, inthe second place, because it wes obscure, It was nccomplished by two ucts, neither one of which was direct or positive. As tho coinage of silver was stopped by the simple ornission of the dollar from the list of ocolns to be minted, so italegal-tender quality was limited to sums of 5 by the adoption of the Rovised Btatutes, which were said to oontsin no new legislation. Thus by two soparate acts, cach pretending to have a dif- ferent purpose and offoct, the silver dollar was taken from the place which it had held for moro than eighty years, ‘The impropriety of demonetizing silver in this complicated and mysterious way is im- plicdly admitted by tho Nation in tho para- graph qnoted above. If the mothod adopted by the Gorman Govérnment was praise. worthy, that adopted by the Government of tho United States was dofoctive. If the German Government did well in printing its plan and distributing it throngh the King. dom, tho United Statos Government did ili in forming no * plan " and niaking no dis- tributfon, If Germnn intelligence, experi- ence, and learning wore useful in the con- sideration of the question of demonetization, American intelligenco, oxporience, and learning had equal renson to be em. ployed. The truth is, that the Nation has inndvertontly given away ita whola casc. While it has all along claimed that demone. tizotion was procured publicly, and that *“ the secret was shared by 200 persons " (of whom tha editor of the Nation was not one), it haa just shown that, in comparison with tho German method, the American method was surroptitious, stealthy, and fraudalent. 1t wonld do well to abandon farther consid. cration of the question of fraud in this con. nection, It cannot alter the facts, or con- vinco the people by mere clamor and vitupor- ntion that they were not choated.
