It fstimo this thoory should be exploded, and the adoption of many of the propositions wonld aidlargely in producing that result. Secratary of tho Pullman Palnce Onr Com. pany, has arrived upon tho sceue of his for- nfer triumphs—Lriumphs in Aocloty, in tho nrt of dressing, iu the art of * venecring,” in tho art of gonoral imposition, Naturo soems to have beon vary ‘niggardly with AnoeLr, TIndecd, it did nothing for Lim beyond pro- viding, naa basts for voneoring, an innocent countonnnce, with a very blank oxpreasion, or, rothor, no oxprossion at all. But he studied, assiduously, tha valuo of **polish,” nnd praoticed tho:art to tho last degroo of refinoment, His dross was faultless. That . i8 to say, it was -meither too rich mnor too goundy; it was the stylo of the millionairo who feols that personal adornment can add nothing to his importance. In tho matter of kid gloves ho was lavishly oxtravagant; it is related of him that ha never drew on a pair tho second time. Possibly this is an exng- goration, Ho scorned Mother Enrth as hoart- ily ns he dospised strect-cars and solled kid gloves, As he would not tread upon common pavemonts, nor mingle with the common herd in a five-cont public conveyance, ho wns compelled to indulgo in the exponse of a pri- vate carriage, . Henco, a8 ho was punctilious in tho obsorvanco of society obligations, his coupe waas often seen at the doors of the fashionnblo residences of the “upper ton,” No grand party was comploto without tho presonco of ANorLy, who threaded his way* through tho donse throng with a gloowmy nir of sbstraction recalling to mind tho character of Hamlet, If he deigned to rocoguize the ordinary mor- tals by whom ho was surrounded, it was only Ly o half nod, which condesconsion ho ap- poared immedintoly to regret. In his prog- ress through o drawing-room he roscmblod NarorzoN nt the aome of power absolved in contomplation of plans for the conquost of the world. § In his offico of Beorotary of a wealthy corporation Axoern maintained o deport- ment of studied decorum, tending to ingpira extremo awe in the beholder, nnd make him feol his own insigoificonco in contrast with the grandeur of the ropresontative of wealth and power, In tho socloty of his intimnto frionds ANaeLL affected to bo oppressed with n burden of nnxiety, care, and responsibilily, ns if the weight of tho affairs of the Pullmon Palace Qor Compnny rested sololy upon his shouldors, Whether in his carringo, in o fashionable drawing-room, or presiding at a privato dinoer, . he wns extromely reticent, nnd bad a preoceupied air, ns if rovolving in his mind great business probloms. - Butns Lo ‘was not required, by virtuo of hie station, to consider or decido any large questions, tho presumption is that such subjects were never in his thoughts. On the cone trary, the prosumption is far moro plausiblo that ho was reticent (1) because he had nothing of avy consequonce to say, sud (2 because of n consciousness that volubility would inovitably expose the poverty of his Intellect, Theso babits of Andrrn tended to onvelop lim in nn atmosphero of mys. tory. 'This tickled his vanity, and he made tho voil moro impenetrabls, Ho put on more polish, more vonecring, and beeamo moro silent and more gloomy. Tha occasion of his annual sonson of recreation afforded an admirnble opportunity for tho indulgence of his whim. Closing the desl of his socre- taryship ho snnounced his purposo to travel, to sock rost in utter isolation from the carcs that had wearied his giont intelleot. “Would he go enst or west, or north or south?” Ho conld not aay, Ho dosired to sevor overy link that bound lim to the ha. rassing nnxieties nnd porplexitics of hls onerons duties. Might he not bo ad- dressed “ somowhore " in tho ovent of sn cmorgoney? Noj; emphationlly no! And in order that no clow to his whereabouts should remain cither in tho offices of the Puliman Paloco Oar Compouy or in the hands of his personal friends, he packed his trunk, and, lika the Arab, silontly stole away. At tho appointed time he glided, rather than walked, into bis offlco, removed from lis dolicato white hands a pair of immaculate Lid gloves, threw them into the wasto.bne. Lket, seated himself nt his desk, and resumed his duoties, It was thus that ho stolo away Inst summior, whon hoe also stolo $113,000 of bis employor's monoy, DBut itisnot thus that ho returns. His ohair in the offices of the Pullman Palace Oar Company is ocon. pied. - His delicato~whito Lands may bo on- onsed in froak kids, but ho doesn’t posscss so much as o waste-basket into which to cast them when bo draws thom off.

Tt is to bo regrotted that tho President, in doflancoe of tho wishes of tho ovorwhelming | majority of the Amoerican poople, is de- tormined to veto tho Anti-Coolio bill which has been passed by both Houses of Congross by large majoritios ‘after nmple disoussion. 1t is not from any appreciation of the wishes of the people on the Pacific 8lope, nor from auy expressions of the popular sentimont that have been made in the West, that the Prosidont has como to this decision, As far aswo can sos, ho is influenced by the ab- normal sentimontalism of tho East, which hos brought a pressure to boar upon him with little regard to the real meritsof the caso or much knowledgo of thom. As arule, the farther away these sontimentr...ts nre from positive ovils, tho moro they sympa- thize with thom. They have pourod out thoir tears and squandered thewr sympathies ovor the sealping savages in timea past, just ad they are mow doing in the case of the Ohinese Coolies, but in the ono caso have had no timo to sympathizo with the white sottlers who are the victima of the savages' cruolty, or, in the other, with the whito mon of the Pacifio Const who have to ondura the prosenca of tho sweopings of tho Bouthern Chinese citios snd witnesa thoir labor gradually undermined and going to picces ag tho result of tho introduction of the Coolio system. If the Six Companies would only dump three, or four hundred thou- sand of their crimiuals and tramps into Bos- ton, Now York, and Philadelphia, and knock the wages of the whito worlungmen down to starvation rates, we might oxpoct a speedy’ curo of this morbid suscoptibility. Thoy would thon know what (ho paoplo of the Taclfic Slope aro suflering from thelr prosence ond would take vigorous measures. to got rid of thom. It is, ns we bave said, to be ro- grotted that the Presidont should have turned o denf oar to those who are suflfering from tho constant invasions of theso Mbngolinn liordes of poupers, and listoned only to'the sloppy appeals of the Eastorn sentimontalists who know nothing of tha Chinese cnrse that is preying upon thoe peoplaand tho industries of Onlifornia, Oregon, and Nevada, . It now becomes the duly of Congress to stand by their action and pass tho bill over tho Presidontial veto, If thus bill could be submitted to tho voto of the American peo- plo it would bo passed by a mafority of mill- fons. In firmly maintaining their attitude, therofore, and passing tho bill, they would act i in consonanco with the views of the great mass of the American poople, whose wishes should be paramount to those of the Enstern sontimentalists who are imposing on tho Presidont.

Thero wero two cases ponding, and, taken togather, ns they muss necossarily be, tho decision of the Court is to tho following offect: Tho city being admitted to be in debt in excess of 0 per cent of the assesaed valuo of the taxable property in the city, it is pro- hibited from creating any indebteduoss, and, of necesgity, nny oyidonce of indebtednoss for any purposo must bo illogal and void. This has beon the case over sinca the now Conatitution went into operation in’ August, 1870, ‘The transfer of tho valuation of prop- orty and the colleotion of taxes from the city to tho State produced much confusion in city afinirs, Thus, the «city mnade appro. printions for tho yenr ending March 81, and texes were lovied therefor, which taxes woro not collected until Bep- tember in the succeeding year, or fifteon’ months after tho expiration of the year for which they wera lovied. 'To moot this difit. culty tho city rostored to the issue of inter- cut-bonring notes and serip on which-it bor- rowed money, renewing this sorip from time to timo, and paying it a8 tho taxes were col- locted, A result was that the city hnd out- gtanding sqrip genernlly to an amount equnl to noarly §wo ycars' cxponditures, and all benring interest. The City Council was lav- ish in its nppropriations, and over-due scrip accumulated in the most alarming propor- tions, At lnst the oredit of the city broke down, Mr, Trnoaas Hoyne, who was electod temporarily Mayor, fenrlessly rofused to issue auny further gerip, and compolled the QOouncil to suspond its reokloss policy. The people of thae city wero aroused to the public danger, and eleoted a new Council composed of u class of men who had long beon strangors to the City Government, . The olty was, liowever, without money; and, having first reduced its aonual expenditure nearly two millions of dollars, it resorted to the Issue of orders on tho City Treasury payablo out of the city taxes when collected. Thoso boro intercst. In this way 1876 was tided over, In 1877 and 1878 like paper was issned, but not beoring any intorest, tho papor being issued and accepted a8 payment, and ndmitted of no recourse ngainst the oity othor than from the Oity Troasury. In the meantimoe the oity hes boen indus- triousty collecting tho proviously unpaid, resisted, ond uncollected taxes, and ns fast ns rocoived has applied it to canceling the old sorip and floating indebtedness, During all this time the legality of all these opora. tions has beon questioned and denfed. Boversl decisions of the Supreme Conrt have seemingly declared everything illegal nnd void; bLut, nfter hearings and rehenrings, the Court lins at last reached a conclusion, as wo.havo stated. The Court holds that it is permissible for tho city to issua orders on the Tressury pay- able ont of the revenue from taxcs actually lovied, and for approprintions already made, tho ordor to bo paysble out of n designated fund; the city to bo discharged from any la- bility whatever for the paper, and the holder to look ouly to the Treasuror for the money. This decision admits the logality of the scrip of 1878, Of tho pravious paper atill out. stunding thero Is #$821,000 for 1875 and provious yoars; none of 1870; $1,200 of 1877, for which the money is on deposlt ; and for 1878 tho papor issucd hns never ex- cceded 85 per cont of the appropriation, and Acndemy of Musie.

Louls Jepublican, incommenting upon Tae CnioAco TRINUNE'S quotation of Micaus LAY a8 supporting frecdom ““ng the only care for tho cvils which newly-acquired frecdom pro- duces,” saya: **The great historical essayist would have considered the conferring of clil- zenship upon an ignorant race, just emerged from sldvery, as sulcldal folly, There fano rea- son to supposo, that he favored unrestricted white sullcage fo Englaud, and {t Is hardly pos- sible that he would be so izconsistent ns to recommend ubrestricted bluck sullrage fn America, untess, indeed, he wished to jofliet frreparable fajury upon England’s most danger- ous rival. *Freedom’ fs one thing; citizenship quite another.!” The commont of the e lican {8 worso thian cant; it fs mero twaddle. It knows well enough that the Southern blacks couldd not have the ona without the other. Tako thelr cltizenship away, and thelr freedom would amount to nothing. In tho early stages of ro- construction, while the negroes were freo but had not yet the right of citizenship, a half-dozen of tho Buuthern Btates commenced the work ol romanding them into slavery again, It lssheer nonsense £o talk of frecdom for the blacks with out the ballot. It they were left at the mercy of tho white Confederuies, without the pratec: tion of suffragedthey would go back agaln into a condition of slavery. The one condition cat- not exist without, the other, and the Kepublican knows it.
