MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1879, Gen, Burren has not yot sbandoned the iden of being Governor of Massachuactts ot the earliost opportunity, Noither have the people of Massachusotts abandoned the fden of defosting the fruition of this nspiration. He will bo a candidate sgain this year—that auch is sottled alroady. ‘Thoso members of tha Joint Committee of Qongrees who favor the transfor of the Indian Duresu to the War Department and the administration of the Indian Borvice as far a8 practicable by officers of tho army, bave prepared their report, and its principal features are given in the Washington dis- patches this morning. They make a strong showing in favor of tho transfer. A declsion by Judge Moone, of the Bu- perior Court, on the question of desortion na o gronnd for divorce, Is printed in another column this morning, and will be read with interest. It is not many years since Chicago wharod with Indisns and Utah the discredit- nble distinction of uatying matrimonial knots with caso and colerity, but at present thero is probably not a city in the United Btates wherein gronter difficalty is ox- perienced in procuring divorces upon slight grounds than jn Chicago, It is only neces. sory to rend Judge Moone's excellent de. cisjon as to the menning nnd fntent of the law rolating to desertion in order to perceive the proprioty of giving this city o wide berth 88 a depot for diverces, ! In tho sermon of Prof. Bwiva] which wo print this morning} are presented his idens of what *Bensstionalism in the Pulpit” should ba in its best and most effoctive noceptation, the conclusion being that the pulpit should keep pace with medern thought and intelligoncs, and study how to make itaolf as interosting as possible to the peo- ple. 'The Rev. Bnooxe Ilzsronp, of the Church of the Meusiah, preached on the sub- Ject of amusements in goneral and the thea. tre in particular, finding nothing to condemn in cards and bilhards when separated from gambling sud disaipation, and in the drama at iimes n moral iottucnco of value. In Brooklyn, the Rev, Mr. TaLaacr continued his scrica of sousational sermons on city morals, ‘Tho action of Gov, Drew, of Florida, in rofusing a cortificato to Horatio Bispee, Re- publican Congressman-elect from the Sccond Florida District, is, under all the circum. stances and in the face of all the precodents, 1o flagrantly unfair ns to smount to down- right dishonesty.

THE ILLINOIS LAWS OF INBOLVENOY. One of the most importaut subjects to bo treated this wintor is tho laws relating to in- solvency. 'Fho repeal of the National Bankruptey act last summer loaves sll coses of lusolvency to be disposed of uuder the statutes of the various Statea; or, in the absonos of theso, uuder the incidental pro- visions of the comnon laws ‘The lutter are somewhat vague, and quite {usuficlent for the purpose; and most of the fuw Blate laws oxisting at the expiratiou of tho Bauk- ruptoy act aro but littlo better. 'The Federal act had been so long in forco that most of the predeut generation of lawyers and busi- ness meu had familiarized themselves with its provisions and proocsses, and koew but little about tho statutes of the various Hlates on the subject. For & yoar or two, therefore, until tho matter has been seltlod as far as it can ba by State leglslation, consideruble counfusion and une certainty will necossanly provail, and more or leas eunoynnce nnd litigation will be in. evitable among brsiness men. operations at the present day extend so far, and are divided among so many different Biates, that the commercial Inws of all must ba kept in view, merchant, doing business i3 perhaps a dozen Btaten, needa to bs as familine with the Iaws of oach as with thosa of Illinois or New York. The great advantsge of the Bankruptoy act was of conrse its uniform application throughout the whole conntry. If the Legislatures that contemplate enaat- iog new laws upon tbis subject, or tho re- remodeling unite in proach to uniformity,—perhaps taking the essontial provisions of the old Baukruptoy law, stripped of its objactionable features, as a bnsis,—it wonld be a great advantsge to the commaercial interests of the country, this can probably not be oxpected. With the diverso intercsts and different atages of commercial dovelopment that prevall in dit- ferent sections of the country there will doubtless bo as much dissimilarity in the statutes pertaining to insolvoncy ae in those regarding attqehments, exemption from exe- cution, imprisonment for dabt, rates of in- terest, and other laws regulaiing the rele- tions between the debtor and creditor clansos. Commercial The New York or Chicago could ap- of exlsting ones, statates having somo But Illinois lias no insolvency laws, striotly speakivg, at the prosont time, The last ses. sion of the Legialature passed an act (though somoewhat crude and incomplete) which went into effeet July 1, 1877, for regulating voluntary nssignments for the benefit of cred- itors; but as such assignments were already practical under the common law, no new right to deblor or creditor was created by tho statute,—ita purpose and effcct being simply to regulate the manner in which such nssiguments should 'bo made. other statute bearing upon {nsolvancy in thip State is the Insolvent Debtors' act, which wan passed in 1845 and amended in 1872 and 1877; but this act also rolates only indireotly to the subject of insclvenoy,—its primaryob- joLt being tho reliof of debtors imprisoned for fraud in connection with debt, Under its provisions The only a dobtor may obtain relenso from such imprisonment by turning over his property to his cred- ftors, but does not thereby meenrs release from bis fndeblednoss in case his estate is insufficient to discharge it. Itisan act but ravely resorted to, as imprisonment for debt alons hes been abolished by our Constitution, and the eloment of frand must Lo cloar and undoubted lo justify tho arrest or jmprisonmont of a debtor, cerning voluntary nssigumonts is of far greater importance, since such assignments are alrondy becoming commonin our courts, and oll must now bo made in conformity with its provisions. At lenst the Legislature shonld as oon as possible overhaul this Tho not con- statuto and supply the defiolonclos and nmend the orrors which charnoterizo it, and which show the folly of rushing bills of such importanco as this through the Legislature just at the close of a session,—ns was the cage in this instance. But a botler plan wonld be to put the entire mattor into the hands of a capablo committee, who could study itin nll its phases, and proparo a now bill covering the wholosubjeot of jusolvoney. It is likely that most of tho twonty-nine Blato Legislatures in session this winter that have not already done so will ennct laws on thig subjeat or remodel and porfoct oxisting on¥s. While nearly all the States have Jaws in forco similar to that of Illinols regarding assignments for the benefit of creditors, only some half-dozen havae statutes relating to insolvoncy proper, Bomo of theso provide for voluutary procsedings snalogons to those under the Bankruploy act, some for involuntary proceedings ouly, and some in- clude both; with various provisions as to the cffoct upon tho dubtor in discharging him from his dobts, Tho most complete and carofully-framod act now in force in proba. bly that of Massachusotts, on which was based the Fedoral nct of 1867, It provides for both voluntary aud involuntary proceed- ings, with disohargo to the debtor in cither caso upon compliance with the provialons "of tho statute, Maino and Vermont have ncts substantially tho samo as that of Moasa- chuseits; and Connecticat's differs mainly in withholding tho discharge of an jnsolvent unles hiis catate pays at least 70 per cent of | his indebtoduons, With an elimination of whatever foatures are considered objectionable, the Massnchu- sotts law might perhaps bp made the model of one for this Btats. Tho evlls to guard ngaanst most carcfully are exorbitant ofiicial foes, noedless delays, and weste of estates in the hands of Ausigneos; aud alio the per- petrntion of fraud on the part of insolvents, 1y proper study and foresight, and with the practical experlence of the workings of tho national law, n bill ought to be framed that would proserve all its valuablo feutures and guard effectually agalnat ite ovils, Tho sub. joot is of the gravest moment to the busi- ness community, and we trust it will be treated by our legislators at Springfield with the best wisdom and ability at their com. mand. THE TEXAS PACIFIO BURSIDY, Ona of the clearost, perbiaps tho clenvest, ablest, and most thorough investigation and nualysls of the scheme o subsidizethe Texas Pacifio Rullway that has over been mado, was that by Mr, Brais, of New Hampshire, in a specch dellvored in Congresson tho 20th of January, It wasnoalm and direct stato. ment of the monstrosity of the wholoscheme, Mr, Brain hins heen & member of the Pacifle Tailrond Committee for several yoara, sud is wholly fawmiliar with the subject, From his analyais of the job, we condeuso the follow- iug statement : The Texas Pacific Railroad Company was inoorporated in March, 1871, with authority to build a railway from Marslall, Toz,, along the 824 parallel, through Texas, New Mex. ico, Arizoun, und Bouthern California to the Pacitio Ocean. The State of Texas granted 22,000,000 acres of laud and the United Btates some 18,000,000 acrcs. The Oom. pany oonsolidatod with soveral other pre- viously-incorporated companies, and inherit. ed sll theie franchises, Inudy, and other prop- erty. 'Ihio longth of the voad to be bullt was 1,874 miles, Under the charier the Company was to construct not less than 100 wiles each yoar aftor the first year, from tho east end towsnls tho west, sud to con. struct 0 much from the wast to the cast as to complote the whole distance iu ten years. ‘These were the oonditions, on the failure of which tho chartor was to becowe forfeit, ‘The Cowpauny, finding it impossible to in- ducoe capital 1o invest {n the road, applied to the Forty-third Congress for a subaldy, whioh application failed, The application was renowed at the Forty-fourth Congress, but the live of road was enlarged so as to include extensions to St. Louis, Memphis, Vicksburg, aud Now O:leans, so that the whole length of the proposed road was 8.060 miles, callivg for an jntercst guarantee of $117,150,000, In 1873 the Bouthorn Pacific Railroad Compnny of Cnlifornia was suthorized to extend its milway from Ban Francisco to Fort Yuma, on the Colorado River, nt the dividlng line between Cnlifornia and Ari- zana, thers to comnect with Bcorr's Texns Paoifio Road. This Company has long since complated §ts rond, while the other Com. pany, being without money or credit, has been nnable to build, and has been waiting on Congress for a subsidy. Unnble fo leave its road in the wildernesa withont an eastorn connection, the Sonthern Pacific Company has already entered Arizons, has 200 miles of railway under contract, and in due time it will bave a comploted route to the Missonri River. The omnibus subsidy scheme of the Toxas Pacifla asked of the Forty-fourth Congress falled. Bince thon there bave beon numer- ons ohanges, and the application has at last been reduced to thia: That the Government shall guarantee the interest at 5 per cent in gold, to bo paid semi-aunually upon $48,- 750,000 of the bonds of the Company,which Donds are to run fifty yenrs, secured by mortgago of the rond and land grants, Itis clnimed that this sum of money is necensary to bnild the road from Fort Worth to San Diego. No member of tho Company proposes to invest o dollar in the enterprise; tho on- tire capital is to bo furnished by the Govorn- ment,~the Compnny to handle the money. This bond 18 an extraordinary ono, There ik no Governmont bond outstanding having such a long torm, Reduced to figures, here nra somo of the results: Assuming that the Government will have to borrow the money to pay this interast, or lenve an equnl amount of ita present debt unpald, the United States in the fifty yoars will pay out in cash for interest on the rail- road bonda 816,874,000, which at the simple interest on the borrowed money will equal 216,757,000, 'That is the nice little job of debt and taxation whioh is covered up under the harmlesa schomoe of indoraing 888,000,000 of railrond bonds. Suwmed up, Mr, Braig states the financinl outcome in this way ¢ **Firat, thon, tho Governmont and tho Stata of Texas nco to rencw a franchise and land-grant * (equal In value If proporly managed to the cost of the road), bolh of which are alsolutely forfeited and defunct alresdy, and can only be resurrected by legisiation; then tha Government ie to nsamen lability to pay 8 total gross sum of $410,041,400; and, over and sbovoe oll Aonest and necesrary ex- penditure, the overnmont s to assnme tao liabil. ity to pay, orat least sulfor & Joss by the diversion of pnblic ravenues from usce existing and impera- tivaly necossary to the pockets of the owners of thi bonds, a total of 248,650,100, Leing #lx times tho principsl of the bonds, Thus the owners of these bonds wonld bo nblo to reslize $138,050,100 less $38,750,000~$100, 000, 100, and throw away the principat, for which, how- evor, thoy hold the road, In other words, tho Qovernment could bulld and equip the rond and give it to the Texas Paclic outright, and save $100,100,100 and, the forty million acrea of land totha Stato of Texss and to tho pation beslaea, Add to this tho fact that tho North Pacific has just contracted, at the rato of 810,000 por wile, for (he construction and eqnipreent of 200 miles of road qulite an cxpensive as Ihis upon which the Texas Paclfic wlll pay to ita Conatruction Company—its binperium in imperio—$20,000 per mile, and the milk In this cocoannt seema to b the very fincet ouality of cream; all which is consplcuously visi- ble to the most naked oye." Tho objection to this subsidy scheme s two-fold: (1) Yt I8 a puroly private business transaction, into which no private oltizen or corporation is to invest ona dollar, (2) The comstruction of the road by this Company is not at all necossary, becausa thero is a road now building with unprecedented rnpldity over tho idontical routo, and building with private enpital, and not secking or asking any subaidy of land or money. 8o, if no subsidy be grauted, the road will be bulit all the samo, and if this subsidy scheme were finally rojectad tho naw road would be able to push its lines oven moro vigorously and cxpeditiously, The demaud for a subsidy for this road bocauso tho **Bouth” claims to be entitied toan equality with the North, which has n subsidized road, bas uo warrant in reason, The Union aud Qentral Pacifio Railways aro the only roilroads over subsidized by the Unitod States. Their construction by thia extraordinary menns was a war measnre,—an nbsolute necessity in time of war to havo 1n- tornal communication between the severnl parts of the Union, when tha Atlantic and! Pacifio conats wero swarming with Robel oitizens, Upon this point Mr, Brain says: **It cannot, then, be clalmed that this great war measure should bo mado & precodent for times of peace. Neithar are the cottributions of money In times of peace, which lnplies taxation or the tisk of it and tho gift of Jand, by any means one and the samo thing; but In the faco of un vver: mastering pnblic sentiment againat now grants of lana to ald {n the constraction of ratiroads and oven in favor of reclaiming all lands already granted where tha corporations hiave abandoned tho effort to build, it fs an act of boldncas border. ingupon the herole, in & tinie of profound peace, to demand & pecunlary Indorsement for the full cost of tho road snd equipment, in sdditlon to forty wilitons of acres of land, & grant which of itself, It properly wanagod, will far more than pay the ontire expenso.

When it {s remembered that thers are twonty other corporations of various kinds waiting anxionsly for the granting of this subsldy in order that under the cover of the enormous precedent thoy may obtain from the Governinent tho.capital needed by them to ombark in purcly private business, the dan. ger Lhat threntons our already.taxed Tronsury becomes alsrming.

With tho difficultios of gettiog out an almanac we are ac- quainted; hence we are preparsd to al- low a very ample margin for the {m- perfections attributable justly to -neccssary hasto and to the adoption at times of suthori- tles of the sccond class, pending the publica- tion of more trustworthy returns. Thero fs als0 some allowance to be made for the mis- takes of compositors and prool-readers, but the crrors of these aro easily to bo distin- gulshed from those tbat aro to be lald to the account of the compller and editor, 1 we found here and thers s mistako, acml-occa- slonally nn omission, now and then an error of judgment or a defect. in plan, we could overlook It. But when we find column after colutng crammed with jnaccuracios that could have been avolded by the simple process of ndditfon that s within the reach of & 9-year- old schuolboy; when wo find errors that falr- ly stand up and strike the reader fn the faco ropoated year aftor year, and when the publication fn which these abound is oculogized and generally accopt- c¢d ns & marvel of accuracy and compre~ henaiveness, wo cannot fall to offer some pro-~ test, Mr. EpwAnD McPrznson's friends have Injudiciously clafmed for him the reputation of befng the master-collector of American polite {cal statlstica. \Wo proposs to examine fnto bis claims to beatification and canonization. Our attentlon was flest drawn closely to the New York Trituns Almansc by its blunder last year in sotting down the Nebraska election to take place in October, an error In which the fHer- ald’a compllation shared, while the otherwise admirable publication of the Philadelphia Times printec a list of elections for 1878 that should bave been aet to music by Orranpaci.. Upon examining more closely tho Tribuns's book we were surprised to find It so packed with crrors that no single statement in {ts political depart- ment could be accopted without verlfication, but wo had hope that with the change in the printership this would vanish. How dlsap- pointed wo were on recelving the volume for 1879, the scquol shall show. The eloction returns begin on page 57, with tho voto of Alabama. The first column gives the vote for Governor {n 1878 as 80,571, Demo- cratie: tho county returns foot up 83,235, There is one column devoted to Arkansas' voto In 18733 the footing Is 88,730, the countios tot up 89,723, In California the firat column gives Haves 7,200—the footing really s 70,307; tho next gives TILDEX 76,464, but acoording to the county returns he had only 76,077, Cunnoctiout —the returns of 1878 aro right, but i the first column of tho roturns of 1870 Ilayzs s given 50,034, or 700 loss than the column (of eight 1ines only) foots up, 700 having beon added ap- parently to the vote of New flaven, When we took at the vote by towns we find in the first county mistakes in the additlon of the second auj third of four columns, With only threo 1ides 2o add up in Delaware s mon can't enslly o wrong, yet the vote of 1870 Is given at 10,733 for Hayes, whilo the column foots up 10,702 ‘There are two columns devoted to Floridas the 'LiLoex lne is wrong, und the tolal vote, re- gardless of any ‘“scattering” ballots, is less than the Haves and Tiunex vote added to- gother. Goorgla comes mnoxt: the first column sums up 50,300, though the vole for Hayes is glven in the footing at 60,446, 1llinois is & plvotal Btate, wo flatter ourselyes, but though we find in detall tho voto for HlAyzs d TiLDEN in 1870 and for PowzLL and ETTRR in 1874, there is only a summary of the total vote of 1878, which was published ofllclully cprly in Degomber. More by token, Hayea' voto fools up 278,038, fnstesd of betng 278,232, Indiana, for some occult veason, has her 1878 vote given {n full, and Mooxkx, for Becratary of Btato, recclves 180,657 votes, thongh, if the county roturns aro accarate, -ho had 181,707, Tows, too, 1s rogarded s mare {mportant than 1llinots, for her October voto s presented {u de- tail.
