Two decisfons, bearing upon tho right of foroign corporations to loanjmoney and en- forco their pecuritics in tho Stato of Illinois, oro given this morning in our columns, DBoth aro of extremo importance, and both ronch substantially the comclusion that corporations not organized under tho laws of Iilinois may mako lenus and forcclose mort- gaged. Dy the Nlincis Supremo Court it 15 held that tho law of 1875, authorizing such corporationa to loan money, is vetroactive, ond validates contracts entored into previous to tho enactment of that law. In the opin. fon of Justico Hantaw, of the United Stntes Bupreme Court, even bronder ground ia taken, tho Court holding that it was not iu 1807, tho date of the mortgage in ques. tion, and las uot slnce been, against the public polioy of this State for insurance companles created by tho Inws of other Btates to invest holr nssols in mortgnges upon real estate in Illinols, Tho opinion of Justico IIanzaN is of especial consequence as forcshadowing the result in case an appenl wero taken to tho United States Supremo Court. created by the largely fucrensed assessmont voluations placed upon real and porsonal property by the South-Town Assessor mado jtaelf known yesterday in tho form of a large number of. individual protests filed with tha Buporvising Board, together with a goneral proteat by the Taxpayers' Associntion cover- ing tho cntiro Bouth-Town nssessment. Not dismayed by the fate of Bex Burren and McMaroN in their encounter with Mrs, Jrxes, Biut Srnixoxn undertook to handlo that lively witness yesterdny.

Tho Mayor last ovening sont in o list of appowmtments of city oflicers for confirma- tion by tho Common Council. All the pres- ent incumbents, with the cxeoption of several membors of tho Board of Edueation, have beon reappolnted. Some opposition to the Jeading appointoes has heon developed, and the Council has roferred tho list to the ap- proprinte committees, with instructions to report next Monday ovening, when tho nomi- nations will como up a8 the special order. TWOMEN IN POLITICS. Perhaps Mrs. Copt. Jevms i3 not a fair sample of what women woald be in politics, if oudowed with the right of suffrage, the privilego of officoholding, and othor equal rights with mon in political campaigning. Dut bor appearanzo beforo the Porren-Brr- ren Committco ought certainly to lmnpress upon tho intelligent womon of the conntry that thoy cnjoy certain advantagesin their prosont condition for the sacriflca of which they would find small compensation in the right to votoor run for office. If Mra, Jeyks, in common with her sox, had boen merely an ordinary politicinn liko AxpEnsoN, Levissee, or her husband, she could not havoe met the dignifled Porfes, tho browbenting Duries, ‘tho slangy McMamnon, the egotistical SrniNg- £n, and the rest of thoso terrible fellows on tho * ogoost Committoe " with tho conscious superlority and importurbablosclf.possession thot have carried her through with flylug colora. But she is o bright, sclf-polsed, quick-witted, feminino Orcolo, with a full approciation of tho ndvantago of her sox, aud honco sots legal sharps at deflanco, and humilistes thom by showing the whole coun- try how imbocilo a Jot of mere politicians aro when thoy encounter n cool, sharp, agile womsn with bralns. Onemay not altogethor admire just tho sort of femalo Mra, JeNzs appears to bo,—cspoclally for domestio pur- poses,—but It 1s hor womanly tralts, aftor all, that have triumphed. Burrzn nnd MoMaunox contonded with her tho first day, and wore disastrously beaten ;. yester. dsy Semixazs hod the foolherdy temerity to enter tho fleld and cawmne out badly scarred nod worso acarod. Mrs, Jenks wont Into that committec-room with tho perfect con- viction that sho was na good as auy oloven * atatesmen™ in tho land. It was this con. solousncss that gavo her a self-possession roady for evory omorgenoy, She know that & sprivg bonnot, o trim walking-suit, expert use of the fan, rosponsive glances, aud an nssortion of fuminiuo right to respectful treatmont wonld strike moro torror to the hoarts of thoso hardened old politicians than would & whole regiment of mon, The vic. tory was hers vory soon after tho battle bogau. Besldes, she wns not burdoned with any oppressivo scnse of tho sanctity of Committoe’s oath nor with tho diguity of a Oongressional Committeo. 1t Mra, Capt. Jexxs should give a candid opinion of the Porren Committos thero is no doubt thot she would turn up her Creolo nodo and shrag her Creolo shouldors with tho Democratic Southern romark that * they wera uo great shakes.” Gen, Burres did not question Mrs, Capt. Jexgs any more closoly than sho’ questionod him. Mra, Jenxs in. structed McdamoN 8s to his mannor of questioning just as aptly as heinstructed her a3 to Ler mavner of answering., SeniNoEn was corrocted by Mrs, Jevzs as often as ho dared to corrcot hor. The aimple fact is Mrs. Jxwgs fell: that sho was as good as Bex Duries, DB Bemwxcen, or Jma MoMamoy, and tho Committee tacltly rocoguized her clalm. 8ho wis armed not only with tho awartest kind of brains, but hedged about with a sort of divinity that law sud anthority canuot confor upon auy numbor of males. Sho could chaff - her antugonists without thoir daring to retort as thuy would to & male witness. She ocould indulge in ull tho little iuconsistoncies, mental reecrvations, and re- fusals to answer, which aro adimitted as tho privilego of o womau. Not o man aviong thom oll ventured an attempt at overawiug, browbeating, or coercion, for a uation of Seoator Brnuce, tho colored ropre- sontative of Mississippl in tho Uppor Houss of Congress, was married at Cleveland, O,, Inst cvening to Miss Joseruing WisLsox, of that city, nlady of his own race, Anid to posscas atriking benuty and rare accomplish- menls. Commendabloand oven s:lf-abnoga. tory cfforls were mado to nvold both the ootural and the unnccessary display fro- quontly mada by whito people on like ocea. sions, and it is hoped that unreasonable prejudices have not been greally stirred by the happy ovent, ‘The Michignn Contrul Railrond yesterdey passod into tho hands of tho Vavxperpiuts &t tho annunl clection held in Dotroit, the Vanpennits voting ten millions of stock out of cighteon, With the Bouthern route and tho Atlantic & Grent Wostarn (s is curront- ly reported) also in their hands, the Naow York & Erie, the prinolpal competitor of tho Now York Contral, bocomea substantinlly a local or Btate road, or ot least {8 so hedged in that Vanpenoier can dictate rates without cousulting it and broak all the pools, Mo virtnally controls tho transportation of freight from the Wost to the sesboard. The unlucky Groves, who, in fishing for Republican whales, fished too near tho bot- tom, pulled out any numbor of Domocratic suckers and bullbends. Oueof thuso ap- ponss to bo a bill for $190 which the taxpayers bavo pald for the Iunch which tho Demo- cratio Invostigating Comumittee in 1876 took with them when they started for New Orleans, Aualyzing the bill, it appears that the ingredicnts of o Democratlo Congresslonal luneh aro in the following financial propor- tion : Liquor and cigars, 8101 ; corkscrow, $1.25; eatables, £30.75, For savou or eight people, tho proportion of drink to food scems large. (o on with tho fishing, Mr, Groven. —— ‘Tho cxpectation thnt thero would be a comprehensive and suthoritative decision by the Supreme Court covering all tho questions involved iu tho clty serip casos—ns woll tho serip of 1877 ua that of 1878—at an carly dute, will not bo yealized. Tho Bupreme Court has ordered n goneral argument upon them at the noxt term of tho Court, and the decision may not boe rendered before Dacem. ber. In addition to the scrip cnses, and tho question of the power of the city to pay in. terest on Trensury orders otherwiso logal, the cases now pending presont directly a do- nil of the legal outhorily of the City Coun. cil of any city to levy taxes to support publio schools. It is maintained that thero is no power in tho Legislaturo to uuthorize the City Council to lovy taxes for any such purposa; that the School law must be a general law, and, under tho Ceperal Bchool law, schoo) taxes incities aud elsewhoro must be levied in school districts by gchool oficers clected by the peoplo of tho soveraldistriots, Tho im. portunco of the issuo thus presonted is very obvious. The Court will bave this question to determine with the other, and, whon the decision shall bo made, it will comprehend an adjudication of nearly all the disputed iuterpretations of tho law for the govera. galiant mon wonld have protestad. The Com- mittos conldn't rond her to jail, as Congress ‘was not in session; but if Congress had beon innossion Mrs. Jengs would not have beon at all frightened at any such prospect. Bhe would have boon porfectly satisfied in her own mind that Congress wouldn't send hor to jail for apything sho might say or refuse fo gay in reply to an old bruiser like Den Bureze, 8hoisa woman, and an awfully smortono. It was this condition of femi- ninity, with the manifold priviloges and im- munities attached theroto, which sorved Mra, Jexgs, fn addition to hor astonishingly quick wita; it made overy point strongor, and @nvo her an odvantage from tho start which sho novor lost. Now women cannot go rogularly into politics; tako thoir places in the line at tho polls ; soil their protty fingora in the active manipulation of primarics; ren- der their apponrance on committees and be- foro committacs & common ogcnrrenco; and otherwlso placo themsolves upon. a lovol with monsculino humans, without gnerificing this ono great, onduring, and overwholming odvantago of sox, In domanding **equal rights,” thoy renlly abandon superior rights. Mrs. Jevgs, simply ns 8 woman, had more rotent rosonrces of ottack nund resistance than sho conld have summoned na a poli- tician, no matter, what position, authority, dignities, or conatitnencies had beon hers. It {aa good “ronson for all womon not to seck political equality,” Another good reason why the domostic womon shonld avoid it is tobo found in tho strong probability that, 31 tho sox went regularly into politics, it is the Mrs. JEvxszs who would take tho lond nnd keep it WATTERSON AND HEWITT. Nothing could bo moro lively and entor. taining than o first-clasa row between two such distingnished Domocrnts as Hexny War. TERRON, of Kontneky, and Annax 8, Hewrrr, of Now York, Mr. Hewirr was Chiof Lien. tonont to 8ast TrLoey during tho Prosidential campnign of 1870, and was understood to bo the nccredited ropresontativo and plonipo- tentiary of that gontleman ponding tho con. troversy over the count of votes. Col. War- TRRBON Wos ot the sama timoe nn ad fnterim mombor of Congrass, and aspired tolend 100,- 000 **lombs * in any serimmage which might bo mnceessary to inaugurato Tiuorw, in caso the latter’s title to the Prosidont's offico should bo disputed. Mr. HewiTT wWas @ per- sonal ally of Trpex's, was in his con. fidence, had contnbuted frecly to the come paign funds, and was informed of tho so- crots of the *literary buroau® which fur- nished tho Demooratio newapapers and ora. tory with thoir editorinls and oloquence. Mr, ‘Warrcasox probably was not strongly at- tached to TiLDEN personally, since tho lattor bad doclored that ho would not ap- prove the paymont of the Rebal War clafms ; but he wag ready to narshal 100,000 valiant warrlors from Kentucky in TiLoex’s bobalf, bocause that gontloman was for tho timo bo- ing tho personification of Democracy, Thoro wad overy reason to supposo, thereforo, that Col. Warrensox and Mr. Hewrrr understood cach otbor perfeotly, and wors working to- gother hnrmoniously to the common end of firat - inducting Trvex into the White Houso and thoreafter sssisting him in tho distribution of tho Government patronage. Now tho warrior Warrensox plainly charges tho peaceful Hewrrr with having doliborate. 1y betrayed tho ambitious Tioex and dls- honorably misropresented his viows. It is possiblo that Col. Warrrnson exprosses him. self the more vehomently boeause tho allegod misropresentation of 'Frzpen's views led to a poaceful mottlement of tho dls- puto, and doprivod Warrenson of loading 100,000 men into goro and glory; noverthe- loss, there is no mistaking tho ssuo botwoon theso two statesmon. ‘I'he dlsputo {s over tho Electoral Commission. Thero wns an Advisory Committeo in charge of the Domo- cratio intorests, upon whom it dovolved to approve or disapprova of tho Eloctoral-Com. missfon schomo. Mr, Hewirr hod vissted Tioen and mscortainod that the latter dooldedly disapproved of the Commission; but, when the Advisory Committos met, it consented to sgroo to the compromise undor tho impression that Trmpen favorod it,— ond it waa Hewirr who, knowing the contrary, permitted this falso impression to prevail. This is what WarrensoN chargos, Now, isn't it just possiblo that TiLpey was a8 non-committal os usunl in this affair; thnt Lo opproved tho Commiseion schome under any conditions that would bring aut a docislon in his favor, but mado a precaution. ary rescrvation which enablod bim, after it hnd the contrary rosuli, to esy ho disap- proved it? Yen't it just possible that Mogsrs, WarrzasoN and Hzwirr are getting themselvos into & personal quarrel over g foxy old fellow who ia deceiving both of them ? : Thero 18 ono peouliarity of tho Warrenson- Hewirr dispute, howover, which marks o new doparture. Col. Warrznsox is a South- ernor, an ox-Confederato soldior, aud one of o clasa of Americans who aro supposcd to bo rondy to fight at adrop of the bnt, Yet ho deliberately chiarges personal dishonor upon Asz Izwirr, aud ot the samo timo proposcs a poacoablo sottlement of tho affair, * As you don't wish to fight it out,” writes Col. Watrensow, *“nudas J am sure I don't, 1 will mako you this propoaition ; You select two mombers of the Cummitteo of Advise- ment, of which both of us wero members ; T will select two ; the four shall solect n fifeh, and if I donot make my chargo good I will make you a pablic apology.” There aro two romarkeblo things aboat this proposition, Tho first donotos o ‘docided progroas toward civilized mothods among tho bollig- crent Boutherners, ‘The proposition of a sottlement of o chargo of dishonor without a ducl doos uot imply by any mncaus that Col. Warrznsox would avold on eucountor from lack of courage; on tho contrary, thero {s every reason to boliovo that ho kias 8s much personal courage as any man in the country. Dut formerly a SBouthoruer of Col. Warreeson's character masking s sunilar chargo would have givon notice at the samo titme that he Leld himsel? voady to offer pes- sonn! satisfuotion to the affrontcd goutlewnn, ond would bave branded his opponent as a poltroon it no challengo should como, Col. WaTTERSON'S position {ndicates o grow. ing sentiment umong Bouthorn pooplo that lawful or peucelu) mothods of sottloment in caso of personal disputo aro to La preforred over unlawful oud bloody encounters which, 43 aatter of faot, sottlo notbing. A per. sonal quarrel botween Benators Qorpoy and Coxxt.¥o during tho lato session of Congrosa was also settlod by reforonce, though Gen, Gosoox, like Col. WaTrEnsox, belongs to a clasa of Bouthorn men who formerly insisted upon fighting under such circamstancos, ‘The Boutheru pooplo aro to bo congratulated upon thelr ovidvnces of progress. Bat the other remarkablo foaturo of Gol. WatTznson's proposition is that the mode of settlement which bo recommends is preciscly of tho samo nature a8 that by which tho Presi- dential dispute was settled, and to which Col. ‘Warrrrson objects in tho latter caso. The situation dnring tho Prosidential controversy was very like tho prosont situation between Warrznsox and Hewirr. Thon the choics was a fottloment by referonco on nn equita. bla basis, or a Gght, just na it ia now be- tween thoso two disputants. Dat if Col, Wazrensox {s willing to submit his personal mntter o arbiteation, fsn't it somewhat in- vonsistent aud uurensonable on his part to quarrel now becauso preeisoly this conrse was followod in scttling the Presidential contest when thore was no other peacefal moeans of sottloment ? MRS, JRNKS. Whatever clsc may bo eaid of Mrs, JexEs, it eannot be denied that sho is a charming witnoss when a legal bully is tho questioner, Bhe is nn clectric eol to faco s blustering domnagogue. Thers may be few people who will have any wpccm‘ ndmiration for Mre. Jexgs per s, But® thero are many who will admira her &a the woman who could got tho bettor Brx Burens. Mrs, Jexgs hnad o sccrot in hor poasession, namely ¢ the where- nbouts of thoe mythical Bienaax lettor, and Brex BuTen with casy confidenco prooceded to wrest' that secret frowmn ler, acting upon the bnsis of what has hithorto been con. coivod as an axiom, namely: that no woman can keep a gccrot. Tho interviow was a memornblo one, Heveral timea tho witnoss lod Burnen almost up to the letler, whero ho Tancied ho could put his hand upon it, nnd then nirily ekippod nway, leaving him to waddlo nfter hor, Sho was o will-o%the. wisp, and her flickering zig-zag led him into many n bog and bramble. Bho played with him a8 n eat does with a monse, and, althongh sho allowed him to escape, ho had to carry away with him visiblo ovidences of tho sharpnoss of Ler velvot paw. Foronco ha could not hold o witness with hia glittoring oye, and for tho first time Lo rotired discom- fited and disgrantled, and gladly hatded her ovor to MAlcMamon, who for threo liours chased her all around lLior socrot, only to discover that it had passed away, that it hnd gono to tho four winds, that It wns * tabled ” in tho waste-basket. Hiad nny other _man than Bex Bureen beon tho princips! ox- aminer, tho nction of Mra, Jengs would have Loon in contompt of thoe Committoo ; but fn this cnse sho mot o logal bully on hisown grounds and beat him with his oawn weapong, and it is all tho moroe gratify- ing that tho conceit was taken out of him by a woman. There ara one or two othor respects in which Mrs, Jengs has proved s memorable witness, 8ho is tho first ono who has given us a lively description of Louisiana politics, and sho bas done it in o fow short, sharp sontencos, which are destined to® becomo cpigrams, Whon Mrs, Jevks affirmed that “Palitics 18 a sclonce in Louisiana; thoy mako it so thero,” sho covered the whole ground, nndin a sfoglo sontonco explained oll tho ins and outs, tho tricks and turns, tho corruptions and rascalitfos that havo chnractorized all parties in that Btato. When she exolalmed, **Even impossibilties ave possible,” and *Tho end justifics tho means in Loulsiana politics,” and added, I am versatilo in politics; 1 nover know in tho morning what my politics will bo in tho ovening,” sho drew with a fow hold strokes tho ploturos of tho whole awarm of Loulsiann politiclans of both parties, and did not overdraw it. From horown testi- mony, sho was compatent to do it, for sho has beon through all tho tortuous avenuos of Tonlslana politics sinco the War, and scoms to bo nbout tho only one who ean find her woy through tho labyrinth without n thread nnd como out clenr and unmuddied, and ablo to baflle aven such an adopt in cabn! and in- trigno as ButLen. DBut it is not in Loulsiana politics alono thot she is an adopt. It is ovidont thal sho has a clear realization of the patriotism of the PorTen-SriiNaxs crowd. Evon Snonsot Cox might ndmira tho noat, olonn, ontting satiro of this womnn, who was in Washington * on the business of tho mnation"”; who brought hor docu- monta with her * becouso thoy all do"; who came to Washington ! for tho nation ot large”; whoso memory may bo defactive because **the nlr of Washington Is bad for momory” ; who wna ** devotoed to the Repub. lic”; and *in pursuanco of her devotion to tho nation and its goneral intorosts " cama to Washington, * for dovotion to the coun. try brings all tho patriots there.” That the Porren clique of Dowmocrats did not got out of that committec-room complotely crost. fallen can only be accounted on the suppo- sitlon that they aro too thick.witted to ap- preciate Mra, Jenxs' nimblo and cutting satire. —— THE FOUNDERS OF GEAMAN SOOIALISM Tho sudden agitation of Boclalium In Ger- many by tho racent attemspt npon the Em- peror’s life Las brought to the surfaco o perfect awarm of Socialistio literature in tho sbapo of books, pampllets, specches, snd manifestoes, and - among them aro somo bi- ographics which farnish valuable nformotion concerning the founder of German Social. isw, Prapivanp Lassarie, and his most promiuent successor, KasL Masx. Wido as tho jnflucnce of theso two mon has beon,— the Socialists uow have twelva members in tho Relchstag and a total vate of 465,000 in tho Empire,—nueither of thosa men wera of "Toutonic bleod. They wore Loth Jews, snd it was tho ndvantages galued by thoe Jows in 1848 that gavo thom au opportunity to sasert thomsolves, Lassarrm was the fathor of tho movemont, and bls writings are still con. sulted for watchwonly of Bosialistio en- oudeavor, Like all Communistic loaders, he was hated most heartily by somo of his own adlerents, and thoso who professod to bo his friends charged Lim with stealing his dogmas from lirzoer, his idsas of economy from Manx, and his stylo from Lesstva, Iiis modo of lifo was a direct contradiction of all his doc- trines, Whilo Lie doprecatad the miseries of the poor, assailed every right of property, and taught that it was a crimoe to bo rich, he was snobbish in dross, lived in sumptuous quarters, ndomed his yooms with alegaut hanglags, vases, furniture, and rave works of art, and gava costly suppers to suck friends a3 Hunporpr, Hewwz, Boxczu, and Foen- 8TER,—a course of lifo which is followed by our own emall-fry bummor demagogues, with whom freedom from work, cigarv, boer, and whisky tako the placo of bronzes aud vases,—gustatory tastes with them being strongor thon tho esthetic. Hemim sald that Lassaine’s highost pleasure woa his highest law. Ho roalized the Com- mnnlstic idea so far as to contract unconvon- tional relations with a very unconventional Oountess who was a$ variance with her hus- Lund, aud, although Lo regardod her as his good angel, ho was not above boing subsis dized by his good angel, and chospening his chivalry by socuring from hor o very com- fortablo annuity, 1o was always in o quar- rel with somebody, organizing resistauce to something, and happiest in the prisonor's dock. His opitaph, which describos him as *s thinker and o man of war,” was very apropos. Mo fought his flrst duel, on account of & woman, whon but 18, and he died from wounds roceived in a duol fought on account of another woman whon 40. o wns tho horo of {nnumerable scandals, and yot his dupes looked wupon him as n Mosstah who would rovisit them aftor Lis desth. For a timo he worked with tho Fortsohritt party, but thoy would not giva him 8 placo equivalont to his nmbitions, and be turned against thom snd sounded na his war-ory that might must bo right, and that the people always had the right to resort to force.

It was ono of thoso manifestations of fratornal rogard nnd affectionato unanimity that aro frequontly displayed in Commu- nism. It will bo rememboroed that the Central Boction of the Bocialistio Isbor Party in this city held o meoeting last Bunday, . and, after sbusing their Exccutiva Committeo tn Cincinnati to their hearts’ contont, voted a want of confidoneo in it, which was tanta. mount to a declaration of tho right of the Execntivo Committes to issue such orders as thoy ploaso and of thoir right to disrogard them if they so dosire. 1lzoxkn's rogime was short. Quarrels followod quarrels, The old leadom wero thrown overbonrd nnd the old allinncos were brokon. Undor tho in- fluonce of Lienxxzanr and Manx, the union of German Boclalism with tho Intornational was perfoctod nt Gotha. It was o union of Gorman philosophy with Fronch brutality; the joining of tho torch of knowlodgo with tho torch of the incondiary; an allianca of thinkers with potrolouses. Thonceforward CGorman Bocialism booame fnfootod with the Oommuniam of Sarxr Brox and the atheism of Manx, It was no louger a distinctly nationnl clement, and it lost its foroo of oconcentration and inclsivencsa of effort to suchan extont that Braxanox essily oontrolled ond used it ogoinst the Liberalism of the middlo olassos, It has lost its distinot- ivo charaoter, howover. QGorman poots still sing of it, philosophers dnlly with its doo- trines, ovon Bishops oulogize Lussarrz in their pulpits, but tho taint of tho Intorna- tional is upon it, It has twico sought to take tho lifo of the Emporor. It burned nnd pillaged last summor {n this country, It oursed soclety and blasphomed the namo of Qop ot Citlzen Mrox's bauquet in Now York rocoptly. It has declarod war against property, against tho oxisting forms of so- cloty, sgalnst tho family, against Christinn- ity. Itis tho openly-avowod snemy of overy community. It no longer ronsons—it threat- ona. It no longer attempts to clovate the poor man, but soeks to pull down tho rch man, and its methods aro those of violonce, not of roason, The intolloct of Comwmuniam porished with Lassarx, Thero is only brute force left. In tho argument by Mr, Ronx before the Bupremo Court {u tho clty scrip ocascs, the objection was urged that, the approprintions haviug been madae and the taxes levied thore- for, it was not logal for the city to asaign to officers or contractors in paymont for services or matorial the right aud intercst of the city in tho tax lovy,—tho sald assignment boing without rocourse sgainst tho clty and ac. copted in full payment. In support of this objection the following rather floury illus- tration Is given in tho argument: We say the flour in thae barrol {s not, i contom. lntion of law, bread ready $o eat: but that s the ruc housewife mixes it, and puta it la to risc fo- night, and to-morrow kueads and bakes It, and ¢then 1t 1a rondy for the food of the coming day, o tho law of tLis Slata provides for the current noeds of mext year, cummencinz the ateps in the tlrst uartor of this, which will provide the monoy in ue time, and that the law approprisics the money 8o saised to the exp ! noxt yoar. Altempt 1o anticipate i law! aly dJestroying tho food that the law is providing and has sppropristed for the wants of thio coming yeas, How will this illustvation apply? Wo are 10 assume that tho city is required to pay all its salaries and for matorial with “‘brend ready to eat”; that, having merely sown the grain and tha crop etill {uthe ground, the city is uuablo to deal out broad roady to eat ; but, thero being flour in the town, it gives to the hungry officor an order eqaal in valus to bis salary for a givon number of bushols of the growing wheat when cat, and the officer cau exchango that order with the miller for flour from which to make his own Lread, or with tho baker for broad ‘‘ready to est'; and the argament is that the Constitation of the _ Btate of Illinols, decclares such a transaction illegal and void! According to Mr. Kosy, the city should suspend its Gov- ernmont, dischargo all its officers; deliver tho city property and the publio peace and decurity to tho mob until the wheat was harvestod, ground, baked, and converted inta “ bread ready to eat.” Grain in the fleld is not bread, but it is property, capable of be- iug sold or of being assigued ju whola orin part fcr a valuablo consideration ; sud, if tho person will sceopt it 05 an equivalent for the bread to which he is entitled, theu it is difl. cult to understand whernn exists tho im. monlity or unconstitutionality of the trans- sotion, Smem———— ‘We venturo the statement that the Buran- Torren Committeo never got hold of & moro sell-polsed, shrowd, quick-witted, and adroft witness than Mrs. JExks, Thosa who did not road her testimony printed fn Tra Tntnuas on Bunday and Monday do not know how much Nrst-class summer reading thoy missed.

WORK OF TIlR SENSATIONALIAT. £fpectal Dispatch to The Trituna Wasnineron, D. C., June 2f,—The mors closcly the sensatlonal reports of she Acklen- Kosscr scandal are scrutinized, the more cortaln docs ft appear that a clrcumstanco certainly scandalous in its origin has been greatly magni- fled, and that at feast ono Innocent party may havo been greatly wronged, It is oven Inti- mated that the pretended offictal statement of Acklen's fricnds, sent last night by tho Assoct- ated Press, {s without authority. Ryery man has a diercnt versfon of tho affalr, aud s thero 18 only ono person hiero now who has nay per- sonal knowledgoe of the matter, and that person refuses to tell, it fs difficult to state what the nctual teuth fs. Yet it 1s belleved that THE REAL ACTS, atripped of all sensationallsm, are these: Gen. Rosser, with a party of Iricods, had arranged s supper-party at o restaurant, o hnd arrived with one Indy to order supper, and tho rest were to immediately follow. He left the lady for a momont, aud, upon returning, hia atten- tion was attracted to the noxt room, separated by only a thin door, as there was some confuson there, o weont to tho door and wailked In, Ho did not break down the door. Ths concur- rent testimony of everybody connceted with tho reatourant, nud examination of tho door itsclf, showa this. Thero was no door broken. Geo. Rosser discovered Acklen with o lady, as tho walter says, with light blondo hatr, in AN BMDARRABSING BUT NOT CRIMINAL POSITION, Hero tho facts and current rumors soparatc, Rosser did vot throw Acklen azalinst the wall, and did not throsw him down stairs, anil did not tell anybody subsequontly that be ¢ild. The lady did not leavo the restaurant with Rosser, but Acklen and the lady left the restavrant to- Rother, and passed through the long corridor vy the eashler's desk without attracting marticular attentlon. Nobody lo the rostaurant was dis- turbed. It also appears that tho lady was not Mrs. Godlrey, whose namae has been so unfor- tunately or maliciously conuccted with this scandal, ier friends aro greatly outrnzed at this use of her name, and claim to bo able to PROVE AN ALIDI for her tho entlre cvening in question, Clrcum- stancus confirming this donial are the fact that the lady who accompanied Gen. Rosser nnd Rosser himself both knew Mrs. Godfray woll, and both bavo stated that theydid not recognize tho person with Acklon. The walters all egres that tho lady with Acklen hod profuso bloude Lair, which Mrs. Godfroy has not. Who that blonde-haired lady was, if she was o Jady, no- body but Acklon knows. As to a ducl, men of the codo biero say that gentiemen about.to ficht duels do not travel o thousand milcs to arrango offairs, but that they ficht duels and think of scttling matters afterwards, if they sro mot mortally wounded, ‘ ACKLEN'S BTATEMENT, New OnLEANs, Jupo 4.—Tho Ilon.
