It is rather late in the dny to plend guilty to the charge of profligacy in tho disbnrsement of the people’s money, and expoct tho profession of a disposition to roform to be accepted as sincers. The re- ductions have not yet been ordered by the Oounty Board, and the idea would not now be entertained if the Democracy were not thoronghly alarmed at the prospect of an overwhelming dofeat. - Nobody onght to be doceived by this madden show of repentance to the oxtent of believing that a thorongh system of reform is contemplated. The only safe way {s to break np the Democratio Ring by the eloction of the Ropublican county ticket, The Burren plan, which proved so sue- cesaful at Worcester, was resorted to last night to prevent a free expression by the Heventeenth Ward Democrata of their rea. sons for opposing the cloction of Ksnw. The meotiug was ealled for this purpose, and the hall was hired and pw for by the anti.-Kzry Democrats, who" proposed to avail themselves of the right to put on rec. ord their disapproval of Keax and his jour- naliatio coparcener in the dirty business of vilifying the Irish.Americans of Cblcago, But the Bhoril's plug-uglies wero on hand in full force, and by taking forciblo posses- sion of the hall and capturing the organization of the meeting they wera able to exclude all speeches or resolutions hostilo to Kenx as * out of order.” It was imposal. ble, however, to bring to besr brute foree onough to prevent an emphatic rianifesta. tion of the purpose of a very considerable elemont of the Boventeenth Ward Democracy to fight it out on that line noxt Tucsday. Kenw's hired rowdies may brosk up meet. ings, Lut they will not be able to head off soveral thousand angry Irishmon in the ex- pression of their sentiments through the ballot-box, THE CONGR! IONAL CONTESTS IN COOK COURTY. The Campaign Committees and managing men have been giving so much attention to tho struggle for the Sheriff's office and the local featyres of tho campaign that the im. portance of this year's Congressionnl elec- tions seems to bo overshadowed, Tho fact is, howover, that the clection of Congross- men this year has more significance than usual. Tho boast of the Democrats that they will control both Housos of tho noxt Congress is in the naturoof a threat. It implics » good many dangerous posaibilitios, nmong which may be enumorated the follow- ing: A radical disturbance of the currency of the country, the disstrous results of which wlil depend upon the extent of tho interforonce; n renewal of the effort to re- open the question of tho last Prosidential olaction, which will be in the nature.of a rovolution; the introdnction and favorable consideration of a variety of Robel claims; and, perhapa worst of all, n refusal to make any more definite provision than now exists for tho count of the Electoral vote, on the ground that tho Congress will be Demo- cratic, and will profer to be unhampared in counting in their own candidate in 1880, These circumstances alone, not to enumor- nto others only loss dangerous by compari. son, should teach all Ropublicaus hero and cluowhore the imperative duty of working and voting for the Republican Congresaional candidatos, and shonld induce 8 good many conservativo Democrats to voto for tho Ro- publican candidates in at lenst the throe Chi- cago distriots, ‘Thero seoms to be = special disposition to neglect Mr, Arnpricn’s campaign in the First District, and this arises from two circnm- stauces, viz. 1 (1) Beoauso tho district has been Republican, which induces Ropublicaus to think that spocial exertlon is not nocos- sary, and (2) because Mr. Arpricu's oppo- nont, Doov1rrLe, is the kind of man who the respensible portion of the community is naturally inclined to believo will be defontod because he ought to be defeated, Bnt thers is no condition so favorablo o an opposition o4 nn apathy engendered by teo much confl. donce of succoss on tho part of those who have boen in the majority, It must uot be forgotton that Doorrrrrx has been on a “atill hunt" for fivo months, Ho was the first Congressional candidate in tho field, and he has been busy night and day in going from houso to house, and from ono aaloon to another, throughout the entirs district. In those daily and nightly tours, Doorrrres hos professed to boall thingu toall men, Ilo hias boon & Communist among the Commu- niats, & National among the Nationals, a Cop- perhond among the Copperheads, a War Domocrat among War Domocrats, and has ovon urged the Republican antscedentaof hia father among Republicans who would lend him thoir card. As a matter of fact, tho spoeoh he made at the time ho accepted the nowmination and the circulars which he has since been distribating in all langunges ox. pose him as a domagogus, ready to pandor to evory transient deluslon and projudice in order to gain votes, If electod to Congross there is reason to believe that his voice will always ba in favor of the worat measures that can be dovised by the Democrats and the Communistic mob to which they bave pros. titutad their party orgenization, His policy will be mado up from * Brick " Pouxsor's tracts and Dexxis Kzarwny's specches. Ho will disgrnce and misrepresent tho business aud political interosts of Qhicago if he shall evor attain a soat in the National Legislature, Mr. Avpzion, on the other hand, is essential- ly & conservative 1nsn. He fa prominently identifiod with the business interests of Ohi- cago and of the wholo country, and may be trusted to vesist all the tomptations of schomers and demagogues, whether they approach him with propositivns to dobase the currency or to support measurca in the interest of Communian and snarchy, The substantial and responsible men of theSouth Division, of llyde Park, and Du Page County should not only vole for Mr, Aroaion, bub also, between now and the day of election, should exert'sn active influence in Inducing others to do the same, in order to surely avert the danger of Doorrrriy's olection. Iu thoe other two Chicago distriots the vie- tary seems Lo bo well assured to tho Repub. ‘lican caudidates. In the Becond District it is doubtful whether the Domocrats could Lave elected any candidato, but they made - their own Jefeat certaln when they dropped Cantrzn Haznison aud nominated s man of the calibro of Mrirs Kenmox.

There is a vagne bt irresponsible rumor that ex-Judge Tnen is running as the Democratio candidate, bat the circumatances of tho campaign would ssom to indicate that there is no truth Mr. Trex has been living in Earope for a couple of years, and is now said to be living in Washington, Atall events, ho hasn't daring that timo put in an appearance among the people who are asked to vota for him as their Ropresontative in Congress, and he doesn't appear to be willing to make in it. them 8o much sa a brief visit to solicit that privilege. This conduct is not calculated to inspire much enthusiaam among the “b'yes™ of the Democratio psrty who enjoy personal contact in the neighborhood of saloons dar- ing a campaign. Mr. Bansxs, on the other Liand, is making a vigorons personal canvass, ond ho is the kind of man who wins friends smong all classes, o will be a useful and creditable momber. Tho injunction we desire to put npon all citizons is to the effect that the Congres- alonal elections thia year, in view of circum. stances wo lave repeatedly described, aro unusually important. If this be kept well in mind, wo have no donbt thero will be a largo vote, and that Messrs, ALvrich, Davs, and Bannzs will all be electod by handsome majorities. NEW YORK AND MASSACHUSETTS. ‘While the peopls of most of the conntry will be more or less occupied with the ex- citements of local olections next week, thero is & national interest felt throughont the land in the elections in Now York and Massachusotts, The history of Tammany is well known, For many years its powor has been absolate in New York City, and has more or less non. trolled *tho politica of the Stato, Whon Tweep was chief of the Tammany orgnniza- tion Lo ruled supreme. Mo surrounded himaelf with associates who wero his own tools and servanta, Backed by its power, he robbed and plundered at his plensuro, When Twxep fell, there was a change of men in Tammany, but the organization re- mained the samo. With 60,000 major. ity in a total vote of 140,000, it became sbsolute n its power, It nominated candidates; it declded who should not be candidates; it not only decreed who shonld be elected, but also des- ignated sabstantially how the votes should be apportioned in tho returns. It was nblo to carry the State whenever it-wanted to do 80, by declaring a sullicient majority for that purpose in the city. It not only controlled olections, but it also controlled the Legisla- ture, and so overwhelming was its power ond its means of corruption that it rarely lost & monsuro of legislation, aven when the majority of the Legislaturc was supposed to be anti-Tammany. BSince Tweep's misfor- tune, Joux Kerry has been the Tammany “Boes” in Now York, To better rulo and govern the city and its politics, ho had him. solf made Comptroller of New York City, which office makes him the chief executive officer of the city, and places in his banda all appointments and the whole exponditare of tha vast Motropolis, It is needlessto say that Tammany is as arrogant, s absolute, nnd ns unscrupulous as if the Comptroller wns a soveraign Prince. It asks no advice or con- sent ; obeya no law but its own; puts publie opinion at deflanca; and plunders right and left ns 1f tho property of the munleipality wasall ita own, At tho timo of Tween's overthrow thero was & popnlar commotion to rescuo tho city from the. contral of Tam- many, but when the people almost unani. mously elcoted a now Goyornment it was soon found that they had l_n..fm given Tom- many anew leaso of power under a now sot of men. During all theso years there bas beon spasmodic rovolts against Tammany., Ocen- sionally these rovolts have been temporarily succesnful in spocial instances, such as the olection of O'Bnixy and ‘Mornsaey, but, as a rule, the power of Tammany Las -been un. broken, This year there is a8 powerfal com- bination sgainst Tammany. It consists of Ropublicans, anti-Tammany Democrats, and various organizations of citizens of all par- tles, The struggle is for the Mayor and City Council, Both candidates for Mayor are well-known Democrats, both respectable men, and both of immense wealth, Thero nro members of the Logislature to be elected, nud it ia expeoted that Tarmany is offoring to trade votes for Republican Roprosenta- tives for votes for the Tammany Mayor and City Council. 8o strong is the Demo- cratio revolt egalnst Tammany, and so influential are the leaders in it, that s defeat of that organization is confi- dently expected, The latest estimate on the combination mdo is thus given: Whole vote, 148,000 ; Tammany voto, 60,000; Nlepublic- on, 53,000; antl-Tammany Democrats, 81,- 000; total opposition, 84,000; majonty over Tammany, 24,000, All this dopends, of course, on the dogrea of good falth kept by tho combined parties to the oppoaition. ‘Tammany has unlimited financial means; it haa substantial gifts at its disposal; it is managed by unscrupulous, ambitious men, fighting to maintain their supremacy. This ocontest has a national interest. It concorns the purity of elections in New York City, and, of nooessity, in the Btate, It isn ques. tion of the deliverence of that city from the control of au organization which has become superior to public opinion, which defiea pop- ulor elections, and which exercises despotic powers under laws of its own making, Auother contest of hardly less national {u- torest is that to hodeolded in Massachusotts, In thet State the ordinary Republican major. ity iu about as groat as 15 the ordinary Tam- nmany majority in New York Oity. Thore are, however, no accusations against the honesty and fidelity of the Btate Government of Massachusetts. DBut By Burses has had an ambition for many years to be Governor of Massachusotts, aud the Republican party of that Btato has always proferred some other candidate, This time he revolts, Ha has withdrawn from the Republican party, and gone over to the Democrats, That party, on the question of receiving biw, was broken up. -The State Convention was captured by Burixs's mob, and the anti-Butlorites ex- cluded, ‘Then BurLxs was nominated by the mob a8 the Domooratio candidate, The othor wing of the party nominated Judge Asmporr, Then Borza was nominated by the Greenbackers and Flat-Money men, and by the National-Labor party, and he is also the candidate of the Comununists, Soclalists, and varions other discontented and revolutionary factions. Ho therefore repredents every variety of sen- timent, from Wexprir, Pmiiiire to Denos Erawxty. 1o ropresents a large wing of the Demoorats,~that wing which thinke that to defeat the Republicans is all the more desirable if It can be done by using such disgraceful sgeut as Bzw Burezx. They sock not only the defeat but the disgrace of the Republicans, forgetting that the means resorted to by them wskes Borrrs the mas- ter and chicf of their own orgunization, ‘question of the rclstionship botween Church BurLen takes with him aleo that portion of the Repnbliean party which Inclines to ex- treme measures; tho mon who keep on fighting the War which closed in 18645, aod who nct and talk as if Iebel armios were surrounding Washington City and it is necessary for Massachusetta to forward regiments to the front, Then come the tom- panions, friends, and followors of Keanwr, and the fiat-monoy people, and all the other odds and onds of all kinds of parties. This ‘peculiar following is led by Burzes, who seoks revonge on those Democrata who ex- pelled him from thelr party in 1860, when he betrayed Dovaras at Charleston, and wont over to the Becossiomsts and then joined the Ropublicans. Ho sooks Tovonge also on all those Repnblicana who, during his membership in that party, have treated him with distruat, refused to submit to his leader- ahip, and prodicted his desertion in the fn. ture, He roeks throiigh the appeals of such men ns Keanxer to arouse and excito the violent nand the mob eloment of soctety to a porsonal and political antagonism against tho wealth and capital which have mnde Massa- chusatts a gonoral workshop and given om- ployment aud wages to the owners of the 230,000,000 on deposit in hor savings banks, Stch a contest ns thishins never bofors dis- tarbed the politicaof any State in the Union, and the contest ia all the mora remarkable becauso it is taking place in such a Stato as Massachusotts, one of the least revolutionary of all the States lnghp Union, Tho progress of the campaign has been closely watched by all partios in all parts of the Union, and tho result will bo anxlously waited for. Tho election of Burzen will give him a prom. inonce aud lend to expectations on his part far grenter than he'has herotoforo expori- enced. Ifis defeat will probably terminato his politieal carcer, nnd reliovo the politica of the country from his rather sinister and selfish influcnee, | withont a long and bitter strugglo.

As to tho firat, in n tost daso beforo tho court of Inst resort, it was recontly decided that s man onco o priest ia always & priest, and that if in violation of the dMcipline of his Church he marries, tho marriago is invalid and the cluldron aro illogitimdte.

The now Bishop of Marsflles insisted upon his rights under this dacree. The Miuister of tho Interior notifiod kim that he might bave his military procession as long and ns strong a8 he wished it, buf that there was another old decreo forbidding ocolestastical proces- sions, consequently no priests or other church dignitaries could follow hum, The Bishop want to church without elther. 4 The third question is tho most important of all, and brings up.a point so far-reaching In its influoncos s to fnvolve tho whole malter of the relations of the Oburch to the Btate, It Lios not yet taken tho formof a direct issuc, but it has been olearly statod and the vesult foreghadowod by B Gax- BETTA in bis recent spoeches, It ia nothing moro nor lces than a demand that all candi- datea for the Catholic priesthood shall bo compelled to do ong. year's servico in the arny.
