The latter's reply to the Cor- poration’s niddress nt Ottawa yesterday con- slsted in grost part of a fervid tribute to the eloquonca and tact of his distingaished pre- decessor, Mossra, Horruany ond N, sticcessordto Mesera, Keny and Dizrzsc ag Bheriff and Coroner of Cook Qounty, yesterday ontered upon ths duties of their now offices. The jueligibility and hold-over dodgo failed to keep Kunx in office a moment longer than ho torm for which hu was eleotod. i The Fat Btock 8how which began yostor- day under favorable auapicos at the Exposl- tion Building is an onlerpriso worthy of the attention and support of Obicago. The dis- play for a first attempt I8 extremely credita- ble sud {uteresting, there being entered 400 suparb specimens of fat cattls of the kind in demand for prime ateaks and rossts, bosides wbout an equal numbor of shesp and hogs. Tho prospect of legislation which shall Lring the trade-dollar up to an equal value with the standard silver dollar has stimulated ppeculation in the formor,—large purchases having been mado in Mong Kong for ship- ment to New York, Trade-dollme can bo bought in China and laid down in San Fran. cisco ot 92} vents each, leaving a profit of 7} cents to the speculators, in caso the bill is passed to make the larger dollar intarcon. vertible with the standard coiu. —e The Commen Council has passod a strin. geut ordinance for tho regulation of pawn- shops, designed to prevent as far as possible their co-operstion with thieves and Lurglars in tha reception of stolen goods, Tho next thing to be copsidered fs, whother the now ordinance shall be enforced, or whother it will Lo ullowed to sleep until some other po- Jicoman or citizon shares tho fatc of Ofcer Lace ln atlemptiog the rocovery of stolen goods and the arrest of tho thioves. —— Now that Congress is again in sossion, public expectation is aroused sbout what the Porren Committeo will do in regard Lo those cipticr disputches. Tt began o investigate, and the question is, Will it refuso to continug the work it commenced? If Mr, Tiroex is in- vocent of all complicity with tho conspiracy that wos undoubledly mado to commit o fraud iu obtaluing Electoru! votes enough to elact him, kLo ought to bo vindicated, And i1 ho Is guilty, the publio ought Lo kuow it. Lot the investigotion proceed. Tho Philadelphia Clearing-House Associa- tfion has no fondouss for the silver dollar, and would like to soe it excluded from an equal chanca with gold and greenbacks ; but it doesn't propose to Imitate tho pig-headed self-suflicicnoy of the New York Awoclation in its attompt to nullify aa act of Congress Ly ruling out silver ns baukablo monoy. The Philadelphis bankers, wiser than their brethron in New York, “doem it inex. pedient” to take any such action at preseut, contenting themselves with a dochuration that iy ia the duty of Congress to bring the gold and silver dollars nearer together in value. Commissioner Sexxr, in hig specch ac: copting the unusual complinent of re-election 4 Chairman of tha County Board, expressed, iu very plain terms, Lis views of the profli- &3ts extravagauce tuat has for several ysars past characterized the mansgement of county afiairs by the Dloard, aud corractly assigued thisan {Le reason why the people 6% the last election refused to sanction the iwsuo of §750,000 of - Londs for the comple- tion of the Court-House, It is & welcomea uign of the changa thot bas taken place in tho character of the Board $hst its Chairman al the very outset of the reorgauizaiion skould thus plainly point out the erropy of the - « 1878~TWELVE PAGES, past and nt the same lime direot attention to the necessity for (he pdoption hereafter of the '* pny-as-you-go " system, The Standing Committecs have avidently been solected with referonco to the inaugura, tion of thig sysiem as far eg posaible, and the now Board storts out with a promise of meeting the expectations of the taxpayers in the matter of honesty and esonomy. Seeeet— Mr. Braixn was yosterday propared with o resolution looking to an investigation by the Senate Judiciary Ooinmittes of the question whether the constitutional riguts of citizens in any Btata (meaning the Sonth) were vio. Inted at the recont olections, and also to re. port what further legislation is ncaessary for the proteetion of such rights. Tho resolu, tion goos gver until tho Henate commitiecs are readjnsted, and that it will be passed in some form there is little dopbt, Under ity provisions the Benate will make s thurough investigation of the election frauds and out. ragos in Bouth Carolina snd Louistans, and it the Honse Demoorats refuss to take cog- nizance of the matter, why, so much the worse for them, Thgq general impression on all sides is that Frmwaxpo Woop blundered when ho precipitated the dehate in the Honse on Lhe Southern question in connsction with that portion of the President's message. He sucereded fn illustroting with romarkahle clenrness two important facts—Arst, that the Tepublican party s once more in entire har- mony with the National Admiufstration and with itself ; and, sccond, that the Democratio party is disposed toapologiza for the atrocions rasonlity aud violence practiced by their brethren at the Bonth—two things which it is not to tho advantage of the Pomocratio party to make clear. ——————— THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Those who read the President's message this morning will probaly be impressed with 1t 28 n oharsoterisciic docnment, inasmuch as it takes an optimistio look st almost overy subjoct.it treats. ‘Thesingle oxcoption is the yellow-fever epidemic, which it was not well possibla to regard evon os p bloesing in dis. guise, It is o comfortable habit of Presi. dent Harxs to take a roay view of all things, and be content with a placid assurance that overything is for the best,—a frame of mind that usually pertains more to religions ro- flection then to the consideration of publio questions. In affairs political it is some- times wiser to be of a more inquiring turn of mind, end to 'seck for improvemonts rather than bo eatisfled with the existing condition of things. We bavo no doubt, however, that President Haves personally exporiences all the serene satisfaction to which his message gives exprossion, but this tone necossarily detracts somewhat from tho | vigor which is ususlly expocted in the an. nual sddress to Congress and the people from the Olief Executiye. The treatment of the political abuses at the Bouth scarcely bears out the earlier prog- nostications of a change of polioy, It is im- possible to avoid a feeling that the Pre: dent is hoplug againat hope and belittles tho facts, and that more outspoken condem. nation of the Southern election frands and ontrages would have been timely and useful, Ho refers to tho fact that * all disturbing in- fluencos, realor imagiuary, had been removed from all these Hiates”; rocalls thet tho Bouthern people ‘“ gave, in every practicable way, assurguces {hat the Thirteenth, Foar. teenth, and Fiftoenth Amondments, and laws pasaed in pursuanos thorect, should in good faith bo enforced, rigldly and jmpartially, in lotter and in spirit”; then remsrks that a ““moro just and generous protection of the freedom of snifrage was generally anticipated than the record of the oleclion discloses,” and that such record **seems to compel the conclusion that the rights of tho colored voters have been overrdden, nud their participation in the elvctions not permitted to bo aither general or free,” This is cortainly ns mild and inoffensive s way a8 any in which tho matter could be pnt. It 18 truo President 1Taves promises that *no means within my power will b spared to obtain & full aud fair investigation of the ‘alloged’ crimos, and to securs the convic. tion and fust punishment of the guilty,” but this {a accornpanied by another appeal to the Confoderates which we fear will scarcely touch the hearts of the Bouth Carolina ¢‘red shirts,” Tho attention of Congress iz dl. reated to the rocommendation of the Attor- ney-Gencral to furnish funds for a more vigorous prosecution of the law to enforca the right of all citizena to vote; thers is no danger but this suggestion will recelve atten. tion cnoygh during tho session, but it may well bo doubted whethor the President's mossage is caloulated to influence or impresy tho ex-Confederates in Congress fo oconsent to an onforcement of the negro's right to suffrago by procoss in courts to the extont of voting appropristions fo that end, It is alio safo to predict that the samo ex. Confcderato power will defeat the proposed rapeal of tho sot passed by the last Con. gress forbidding tho employment of {roops for the purpose of executng the low, The Sonthern bulldozeras will not be conxed nor wheodled by the Prosident’s soft words, while the mass of the poeople of the North will rogret that Lo Qid mot oxpress Limself more strongly on tho violation of faith on the part of the Southern * Howme-Rulors.” ‘Tho veferences to the silver quastion ars brief, snd wonld indicate that the President thinks it is as decirablo to have as Mitle dis- ongsion & possible about this watter, Ilo intimates thet he and Bucrotary Suxmaman have not changed their minds about uilver remonetization,—wbhlok is spparont enough, —but contends that there has boen au ears nest offort to execute the law in good faith, in whick conviction it is easy to baliave thot he has been deceivod. s recommends that thexe be no mora financial legislation this year, which we fanoy §s partieularly dosigned to hoad off the free coinage of sllver; but he bas no word of condem, nation for the attempt which is to be made to nullify the law as it now stands. The only cowmfort to bo derived from what is sald on the fivance question lsin the genuine confidenco felt by the Administration that resumption will be & success, and in the rvidcns purpose (o use every effort to make t 80, Thero is also a parsgraph which indicates that the President bulievos the provision for the Siuking-Pund moy be snspended without harm for & time, inasnuch as there has beon au actual reduction of §720,644,75 in the publio debt duriog a period when & reduce tion of §518,561,606 would have fully com- plied with the law, Tho Presidsnt takes s rose-colored view of all our foreign relations, Coucerping the payment of the Halifex swindling award of $5,600,000, bie ‘merely says that he has duowsed it his duty to psy over the sum nowed snd thon protest! though he does not pretend thet & prolest under those couditions will be productive of any selief from the rescally extortion that bos beeuw practiced upon the Americay peaple. Ha also conveys the intelligence of an official announcement from tho Bpanialy Goverament that the Cuban insurreotion has terminated, and expresses the expecta. tion of a revival of trade. It wonld have been more to the purposa to present for the consideration of Congress somo projeot for secnring from Spain n readjustment of onr commercial relations with Cabs which should require the abandonment of tho sys. tematio disorimination aganst Amerieay trade which now prevails nnder the Bpenish Iaws. Wijh regard to Mexico and the border troubles, it is annonnced that the United Btptes troops have already done much to re. move the sources of dispute and suppress the raids, gnd there is n vagoe intimation that & force of Mexican troops will co. operate effectively on the otler side of tho Rio Grande to the same end. Perhapa the Presidont's trusting natare is nowhere bet. ter fllnsteated than when he hopes for evi. denco of sirepgth snd permanency in a Maszxican Government., For the rest, ths messago is & matter of resume of the reports from the various De- pariments, with littla that is important, new, or suggestive. Tt 1is intimated that it would bo well o increase tha number of Circuit Judges. It is hinled that Congross must soon decide whothor it will increase the ap. propriations for the Post-Offica Departmont, orrearrangs the rates, or Impair the sorvice. A gotd word is spoken for La Duc's Depart- ment of Agriculture and his ambition to open up now branches and methods. Thero is an indeterminate suggeation that Congress shall supploment the local systems of odu- eation with national aid, though it is not 8aid how this should ba done, And there is an evident Jeaning towards the Interior De- pariment and the peace polioy in the treat- ment of tho Indiace. But in all theso things there is a conspjonous nbsence of clearly- defined plans, and o palpable lack of strong individualily in shaping tho nntional policy 1n vegard to tho various interesta under the immediata control of the Administration, SHERMAN ON THE SILVER DOLLAR, It has boen but a few years sinco Mr. Jouxn Snensay, in his place in the Bonate, reported a bill to demjonetize and nbolish the American sliver doller bacauso the dollar was too large and was worth %o mffeh in gold ; and in the same bill ke proposed to reduce the welght and size of the gold coins 3§ per cant, so that a §$10 gold coin should there. after ba worth only §9.65, thereby saving on every $100,000,000 of intorest on the debt the sum of £3,500,000, avd on the $3,250,. 000,000 principal of the debt a direct saving or scaling down of $78,750,000, . In his report yestorday Jony Buznuax, as Secrotary of the Trensury, argued to Con- gress that the silver dollar, which in 1868 waa worth ¢ cants mora theQ the gold dollar, be raduced, bacause it was too small and of too little value, aud because he in his con. science wonld not, though a logal-tander, pay it out for a publio dobt, nnless tho creditor eapecially asked forit. The openly-svowed clipper of tho gold coin in 1868 feels tho hair standing upright on his head when tho law asks him to poy out silver dollara in 1878, * s thy sorvant adog, that ho should do this thing?"” exclnims Jonx Sneruax in 1878, when ton years ago he proposed to swindle ihe entire world by abolishing the silver dollar because it was worth too much, and by so clipping the gold coin that 8} per cont of tho gold would ba takon off befora payment, My, Becretary Suzriuan hos boxed the com. pase on this ailver quostion until ho hasmado himself the laughing stock of the conntry. e has nover heldona apinion pabliely long enough to have it discussed, though from firet to last, It 1s now protty ovident, he has been tho secret promoter and champlon of an exolusive gold coln, and opposed to the monotization as well as tho cofnnge of the silver dollor. Latus hope that be will now adhare to Lie latost schame long enough to Liave it indignantly rejected by Congrons, and long enough to be compelled to exacuto n law for the unlimited coinage of silver dol- lars, or resign. In bis roport laid botore Congroas yoster- day ho nssorts as a proposition of law and of faot that, when the Resumption aot was passed in 1875, the only coin than known to the Iaw as a legal-tender was gold, and there: foro that law contemplated that the Govern. ment should resume specio payments in gold, In the light of the discussions of tho past two years this statement of law nnd faob by tho Beorotary hardly rises to tho level of pettifogging. Ho knows that not ono man in ten who voted for the Resumption law kuew that the silver dollar had been domone. tized, aud that not more than one wmau in 100,000 of tho Amarican people knew of that fact. Mr, Bxemaun undoubtedly know that silver had boen demonotized, but he kept Lis knowledge from the public, When the Resumption law of 1876 waa passcd, there was a law on the atatute-book providing that all tho bonds of tho United Btates Isetned and to bo jasued under the law of 1870 should contain on thelr faco the written contract that they wero to be puy. able, principal and juterest, in the gold or silver colné of the United Btales of the standard In forco in July, 1870. The He. swaption law did not change that contraot in any sonso, Psyment of the greenbacks lad been contracted in a provious law, the payment to bs mado iu *colu,” and when tho Secretary declares that it was ever in. tended to resums wpecls payments in gold, to the exclusion of silver, e states what is not warrsnted by law or by fact. For elghty years tho United States had wmaiutalned the double staudard, and for the avowed purpose of protecting the Governe went sud the peoplo agslust aoy soarcity aud Increased valuo of cither motal. Pay- ment of debls were to be mado in either gold or silver, at the debtor's option. That principal was retalued and affirmed in the Funding act of 1870 by declaring tha Londs (uow jncludiug nearly all tho public debt) to be payablo in eithor gold or sflver, For forty years silver was the cheaper ooln, and tho silver was the curroncy of tha country; for forty years afterwards gold was the cheaper coin, and gold way the general cur. rency. Now that gold hss become scarco aud dearor, its purchasing power having ad- vanced from 20 to 40 per cent, Sccrotary Buzmaax ond the moneyJenders insisy on discarding the silver, aud making the dasrer and gearcer gold tho exclusive logal-tender of tho country, Mr, Susuay recommends that Congross shall (1) by law limit the total iseus of silvar dollars Lo ffty 1willions, or (3) thet the xiza and weight of the silver dollar be advanced. Both propositious are equally intended to de- monstize silver. They aro dealgned to ex- clude it a4 8 currency, and to compel pey- meuts in gold exclavively, The Amerioan dollar is a coln containing 871} grains of pure silver. Thet is the *‘dollur,” and Cobgress 10 woro guarautesd that it would purchaso suy given waight of gold thau it agreed tlat ® **buabel ” of corn should always purchase o given ouantity of silver, Theo ere 8713 gralos of pura silver In the Amorican dollar, and rll debta and contracts, publio or private, from 1703 {o tho prosent day, aro legally pay. able in dollarn each containing 871} graias of puro silver. To enlargo the dollar is as unjust as to enlarge the *‘yard " or the *“ bushel " ; if it i to stand, it must coutinne toatand at its original definition,~371} graine of purs silver. Once change it, and it were bettor to abolish it. Mr. Bazswan proposes {o reverse and nnl, lify the saving prineiple of the donble stand. ard. He repudiates the debtor’s option ; be recoguizes the right of the oreditor to the option. In offico Lo can abusa lia trust in tho interest of Lhe money-lenders, but Mr, SnerMaN {s not yob superior to law, Con. gress can close this whole bnsiness at once, can pot an end to mono.metailism, and cs- pecislly to Bhormanism, by placing the coin. nge of sitver dollars on the samefooting with Rold,—leaving the coinage unrestricted s lo amounnt. It may be nocessary for Congress, in order to proteot the country sgainst the Baorelary of the Treasury during the nine monthe' vacation, to pass such & law during the present session. TH® KENTUCKY VENDETTA, The Town of Jackson, the county seat of Breathitt County, Kentucky, located somo sixty miles away from spilroad or tolegraph, is at presont in the hands of a mob, divided into factiond, and engaged in the choerfnl Bouthern pustime of shooling each other down at sight, The Bheriff and his posse aro barrieaded {n the Court-House, defending thomselves as best they can, Tho peacoable peoplo of the town have run away from it. Two gangs of outlaws ab war with each othar, and snother gang bont npon rescuing a prisoner, hold it at their mercy. The Circuit-Court ressions have been broken up, andthe Judge basflad,—no one knows where, —aond the County Judge has been killed. Meanwhile, the Governor bas not been heard from, though the faots were Iald beforo him several doya ago, and an application for help has been mads in regular form, 'Tho accoynts of the vendotia are confliot- ing, but the true version of the story socms to be sbont as follows: On Monday last o gang of outlaws, headod Ly one Bmr 8tnoxo, entered the town nnd (ook possos. sion of it. During the day auvothet gang, headed by ono A1sMaw, entered and attaok. ed the former party. The Brnono gang bar- ricaded itself in a log cabin, and tho Asgamax gang in the Court-House, and fightlng was kept up all day, somo on both sides being killed. Tha next day tho Amxman gang left tho Court-House and took np auother posi- tion. Meanwhile, tho Bheriff arrivad with o prisoner who had been arrosted for wifo- murder in another part of tho county, An attempt was made by still anothor gang of outlaws to rescue the prisoner, Bome oiti- zons banded themselves together to assist the Bheriff, who succeeded in getting his prison. er into the Qourt-touse, although the Coun- ty Judgo lost his life at the hauds of the moh in his dofenso of the Shenfl. At last ac- counts, the threo mobs wero in complote possession of the place, and the Shesiff aud his posse were cooped up in the Conrt-House, Moeanwhilo, the Governor has taken no mo- tion jn the premises, and spperontly does not intend to interfero, and the Lonisville papers which have come to hiand, although they havo oxtended narratives of tho affair, have not & word of editorlal comment upon this outrageona deflanca of Iaw, and this in- famous attack upon law.abiding and pence- able people, who are:niding the constitutad authorities to carry'‘out tho laws. It is o very vivid illustration of the civilization of that State, whore it Is & frequont boast that no marderer is punished. In view, however, of the unrostricted rasuner in which those wrotohes are allowed not only to shoot cach othor, but to kill poscesble pooplo and Lold & whole town st their moroy, without any interferonce from the Btate militis or avy action by the Got- ornor to pravont jt, it would be in better toste if there was leas boasting in that Btate of tha chivalry of its poople, The Courfer- Journal has boen very freo of fate fn 1its criticlimas on the growth of crimo in tho North, Wo would like to hear something from it on erimo at home, and would like to havo an opinfon from it s to the probability of any of the Jackson villaina baing brought to justice, THE TREASURY REPORT. \ Bearetary BuxnmaN's report, being written within thirly days preceding the dato fixed for the resumption of specle payments, has more than ordinary interest. 'Tho most of tho sta. tistical Information contained in it hag beon anticipated, but the following goneral figures, however, will not be out of placs.

Tho Becrotary discusses tha subject of re. sumption ot wpecie paymeuts on tha 1st of January next, and expresses the fullest con. fidenco in the ability of the Treasury not only to resyme but’ also to malntain specie poyments, 1o assumos that the posscssion of 40 per cent of coin is sufliclent to warraut & maintenance of specie psyments. At the prosent tima he has on hand $141,888,100 of coin, The Treasury notes s they are re. doemed he expeota to pay out again in ex. chango for butlion snd coln, and thus keep up the supply necossary. He intonds to is- sue coln or notes in payment of all dobts, at the cption of the creditor. Instead of fe- suing ocoiu-certificates to the depositors of bullion, be will heroafter issus groenbacks, which of {hemselves will be coin.certifi- ostes. Treasury notes will be received In payment of customs duties. The Becretary; faithful to his allegisnco 1o the gold intereat, arguos against the use of silver. Mo claims that whou tye Resumnp- tion Jaw was passed gald was tho only legal- tender coin knowy to the law, and therefore that that Jaw contewplated resumption fu gold aloue. He rocommends that the coin. #g9 of silver dollyry ba limited to fifty will- jons of dollary, of that the bullion valus of tha dollar be ingromsed by tha addition of more silver. 'Fho Becrotary recomwmends that subscrip- tions be received in wums of 10, to b tnpliocble in cxchango for 4 per cent bonda, Ha renows the varipus argdments in favor of tho Natlonal banks.

The Tressury Department ia reprospnted as overwhelmed with a vast amount of claim busineas, and it Is recommended that Con- gresa transfer all thia class of business to the Court of Claims, It is also recommended that Congress establish a law of limitations excluding all claims against or by the Goy- ernment after n renfopable tims, 1t in recommended that, instead of the present complicated system of valuing Im- ported sugars mcdording to color, heroafier one rate of duty shall be collcoted: on all sugar, and thus, by taking away the indnce. mont, put an end to frands, Tt ia urged that the tariff be smended by the substitution of apecific for qd talorem dulios so farns is practicsbla, but especially jn the matter of kid-glovos sod silk goods, and that atl allow- ances for demagas of goods be abolished.
