' THE PARK APPROACHES. Aftor a long and unaccountable dolay, the bill providing for park: approachos has passed tho Ilinois Mouse of Roprosoutatives, and became a law yosterday under tho Govornor’s signature. ‘Ihore was n0 moro opposition to itin the Houso than thoro had Leon in tho Sonate, As tho Dill contains tho emorgoncy clauso, tho Park Commissioners can proceod without delay to carry out tho project, and propor energy can provide cach division of tho city this summor with a handsome boulo- vard reaching from somo contral point to tho soveral parka, Tho first step to bo taken will bo nn application to tho Common Council, and to the ownors of proporty contiguous to tho streot solocted, for tho consont to im- prove said stroot. This consont should be given inmediatoly so far as Michigan ovonuo is concorned, because that is conceded by nll tobe, the most desirable, and in fact tho only availablo, streot for that purpose in tho South Division, As to shnilar boulovards in the West and North Divisions, there may bo some differenco of opinion as to streots which ought to bo taken, and tho discussion of the choico may occasion somo delay; but this circumstance ought not to interfere with tho prompt improvement of Michigan avenue. Tho terms of tho bill aro such that nether tho Council, the owners of contignous prop- erty, nor tho genoral public cau roasonnbly make any objections to the schemo. As to tho Council, it will not bo troubled by ony sectional jenlousies, since cach division of tho city ia equally favored, and tho consent asked from it amounts really to an cscapo from furthor caro and responsibility for tho stroct in question. Besides, the Council will scarcoly hesitate to do what tho gront bulk of the people oxpect and demand from it, Tho bowlevarding of only one street in cach division of tha city will leave ample accommodntion for the trucks and business vehicles which will have tho freedom of all tho other atrosts, Asto tho praporty-own- era, thoy will have the improyemont to pay for, it is truo; but tho cost of a similar im- provement would fall upon them in any caso ;, the difference in their favor under tho now order of things is that tho street, onco improved at their expense, will thereattor be kept in firat-olnss ropair, Tho property-owners also onjoy_an advantage in that tho improvement will bo made before they pay for it, and the cost thoreof will bo: divided into four annual installments,instend of coming in a single payment, as would bo tho ense if a similar improvemont were mado under authority of the City Governinent. As to tho goneral public, every man and woman who tnkes 9 pride in Ot:icago will fovor tho project; tho patks will thon bo casily and comfortably reachod by those who ride and drive, whilo tho streot-cars and steam. ears will furnish moro room and botter ac- commedation for those who do not; even tho drivers of wagons, carts, drays, trucks, and businosivehiclos of all kinds excludad from the boulevards, will approve tho meas- ‘uro, for they will havo all tho other strocts moro to themsclves, f 'Tho South Park Commissioners will prob- ably apply for the- control of the Michigan avenus bowovard from Van Buren astroct southward, How far sonth this boulevard shall run will be moro difficult to determine, Tho noarest point'at which the vow approach can bo connectod with the Park system is at ‘Thirty-fifth streot, whero the South Park boulovard bogins; tho objection to such usa of 'Thirty-fitth strect is that it is now a busi- ness street, and will grow to bo moro so, and itis needed by the residents of tho distriot betweon State street and the Inko ado thor- oughfaro for their supply-wagons, ‘Tha noxt atreot which it would bo practicable to use as o connecting avenue js Lhirty-ninth, but tho horso-car tracks are already laid on that streot, Forty-third streot would bo tho next, Forty-sovonth stroot after that, and Fifty-first street then,—any ono of which would bo nvailablo; if run to Fifty. first streot aud thon across, the now boule- yard would lend to tho ontrance to the park; and ‘at Vorty-third streot it would lend over to the South Park boulevard not far from its place of boginning. If continued south of 'Thirty-ninth strect the consent of the Iydo Park authorities must bo obtnined, but this will bo freely granted, Probably tho boule: varding of Michigan avenuo to Forty-third, and tho latter to South Park bdilovard, will bo tho favored project for tho present, to bo extonded further south in tho futuro if do- aired, In the North Division the chofco would seom to fall upou Doarborn avenue as the most desirable streot, and in tho West Division it would soom to lo botwoun Wash- ington and Adamastreots, with proference for the former, 'Thoro has bean go mnch delay in procuring tho necessary authorization from the Legis- Inturo that the Park Conuntssionera and city authorities should now co-operatein an offort to haston this project for park approaches so that thoy may bo improved nt onco, and used and enjoyed during tho next summor and fall, The peoplo of Ohicsyo, and those who visit the olty, will begin to realize for tho first timo tho real advantages and ploasures of a pork system when tho improvement of these approaches shal! havo boon completod. Tn on orticlo upon the dooision of tho Bu. preme Court of tho United States in tho caye of tho Northwestern University, pub- livhed yeutorday, it was stated that the Uni. voruity ‘owns several thousand pores of lond.” Mr, Lunt, one of tho Trusteos, in- forms us that the Uuiversity doos not now own 200 acros of land in tho Stato oxempt from taxation, It was also stated that tho University owns ‘nearly the entire aren of laud ontwhich (he City of Evanston is built.” ‘This is stated to bo an error; and that tho original Village of Evanston an Inid out con- tained about 1,100 lots, and that of theso tho University now owns about 160, In the “additions” sinea mndo by the University aud other parties to the village, tho Uni- vorsity doos not rotain the samo pro- portion, By tho tnx-list, there wora in all about 420 lota exempted, tho lnrgost portion boing in a now subdivision of tho north part of tho original purchase. ‘This subdivision was mado about the time of tho panic, and thoro hag boon no market for the lots sinoa then, ‘Chis numbor includes lots in Winnetka and other villages. ‘Tho property onca held by tho Univorsity has been largely converted, and tho prococds ox- pontled in support of the institutfon, and, in- steadof acoumulating land, tho property con- tinnos to decline by sale, and much of what romains has now but anomiual value. Wo lind no purpuso to amisstate tho facts, and aro really sorry to loarn that tha Univorsity is not as wealthy ns hins been statod, AUSTRIA'’S NEW COMMERUIAL DEPART- ‘Thora have beon of Inte sovernl intimations in tho foreign dispatches to tho effect that Austria was bont upon securing an ontlot to tho 2gean Sen by getting a fodthold in Maco- donia, and, if possible, the port of Salonicn. ‘The ronson for the extousion of Austrian in- fuenco, which has herotofore been supposed to bo'of a political charactor, growing out of the changed relations of tho various States of Enstern Enropo as affected by the Treaty* of Berlin, it now apponrs has no convection with tho oporntions of that instrumont or with the political relations of those States. Tho political influonca of Austria 1s oxerted to secure nggrandizoment in that diroction, because of commercial nocossity, and so pol- pablo has this necossity become that tho het- crogenoous peoples of Austrin havo nlrendy sunk thoir jealousies and withdrawn thoir op- ponition toCpunt Anpnassy's policy of oxtond- ig Austrinn influence over tho Balkan Pon- insula. Tho London Saturday Review of a recont dato devotes much space to tho consideration and defiuition of this policy, and in Inying out this programmo develops somo points which satisfactorily oxplain the attitudo of Austria towards Turkey, and tho onconrage- mont which Germany has given hor in hor new expansion to tho southeast. ‘Tho sub- stance of tho statement is that this now lino of growth is a noccasity, aud that tho neces- sity ign commorcial one, When Austria wos expolled from Germony and lost Venotin and Lombardy, Brissaance advised tho Em- peror to extend hia influonce south and east. Tho nscondoncy which Gormany socured after tho war with Franco emphrsized the suggestion, When Itussin reoponed tho Eastern question and submitted it to tho arbitrament of war, the necessity bocamo alill more apparent, becausa Russia might step in and establish herself in tho Balkan Peoningula to the oxclusion of Aus- trina. Meanwhile another vory potont inflnenco has been at work which has forced Count Anpnassy into immediato action, Austria has always had to contend with tho commorcial opposition of Prussia, Italy, and France, which has beon mani- fested in tho way of hostilo tariffs. With this commercial opposition on the one hand. and hor limited communication with tho sen on tho other, sho hns beon compelled to make gonorous usc of the German railway system in order ‘to securo commorcial inter- courso with:-tho rest of tho’ world: During the twenty-one yonts onding with 1875, the Austtidi'trade with Gormany was nimost quadrupled,’ and in that yerr amounted to nearly three-fourtlis of the total cxports and imports of Austro-IInngary, The protection- ist policy of Bissancx, which ho onunciated rocently, in order to support his vast military system, was tho crowning blow. It pro- posed a tariff so high og to lay n complete embargo upon hor trado, and compelled hor toseekn now outlet. Shois loft with tho ono little port of ‘[riesto, which cannot begin to accommodate her trade, and tho routo by tho Dannbo and Black Son, which is too long and difilenlt to be practicablo, Tho first stop taken in tho now dircotion was tho occupation of Bosnin and Worzo- govinn, which at the timo apporred to be politicalin charactor, It was necessary, how- over, to tnko this political step in order to gain o vantage-ground for the pursuance of her commercial policy. Inaving ostablishod horself firinly in theso provinces, she ix now at work upon the succooding steps that must. bo taken, ‘Tho Chamber of Commorco of Vionna rocently formulated its plans in tho following propositions: Improvement of the railway communication with Finme and ‘Trlesto; improvement of the navigation of etho Danube; connection of tho Tungarian notwork of railways with thoso of Roumania; connection with tho Servian lines; tho con- struction of railways to Conntantinople and Solonica, and also through Bosnia, Count Anpnasay’s proposition’ goos further than this, and provides for a cnstoms union with Ronmmania, Servia, and Montonegro, and such a conyontion with Turkey oa will givo Aus- tria unreatricted access to the port of Sa- lonica, which, of courso, would socuro a mar- kotin Turkey. 'Lho progress, howover, is very slow, though tho Austrinns are working steadily along, as will bo seen by tho follow- ing statoment from tho Saturday Ievicto: “+ Ab tho presont momont a Commission ia alt- ting In Vienna considering the torms of a convan- tion with Scrvio, It Is reported that Scrvia has agreed, among other things, to the connection of her own Hues with those of Hungary in tho nofgh+ borhood of Welgrado; and it fy also sald that sho Is willing to contribute to the Luitding of a bridge over the Savo just above itv junction with the Danube, Tho conection of tho Hungarian and Honmantan lines was long alnce agrced upon; but practical dificultics have boon ralued, and the work ts not yet dono, In Bosnia the Austrian authorities hove been busy with rallway con- struction since tho occupation, and It is asserted that considerable progress has already been mado with the Ino to Serajavo."” ‘Lho struggle of Austria to save hor trado ia an intorosting ono, and will bo watched quite a8 closoly ng tho solution of the polit- jon complications which have been sprang upon Europo by tho ‘Troaty of Borlin, Sho has moro at stake than tho other Powers, and it ig not imposaiblo that from a political poiut of view it would bo for Turkey's ad- vautago to make frionds with Austrin by grantiug her tho commorclal priviloges sho 80 much needs, Mr, K, K.

Cincano, April 10.—NWas thero a bill offered and passea In Congress during the War proposing that the Government would pay $3300 for cack slave that might be monumitted? (2) Was euch a proposi- tion incorporated in Mr, Lixcony's Emancipation {or any other) proclamation? soe ‘Tho policy of componsnted omancipation was n favorite one of Mr. Lincony, and was by him urged most carnestly, especially up- on the border States. It was, howovor, by him always connected with a sohomo for the deportation of tho emancipated and their colonization in Africn or olsowhoro. Mr. Lincoun becnmo President in March, 1861, and a special session of Congress was held in July following. In December Congress moet for the second session, aud on March 6, 1862, just ono year aftor bis inangurntion, *Mr, Lrxcony in on special messnago recom. mondod that Congress passa joint resolution substantially as follows: “* Resolved, ete,, That the United States ought to co-operate with any Stato which may adupt gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such State pecuniary afd, to by used by such Stato In its dis. cretion, to compensate for tho inconveniences, public and private, produced by auch change of syatom,"* In his mosgage ho described it ns an “in- iliation” of n policy which, by extinguishing tho causo and motive of the War, would ond tho War itself, A fow days after, this roso- Intion was adopted by the Houso, and in April was adopted by the Senate, On tho doy this resolution was passed by tho House n conferenco was held by tho Presidont with tho represontatixes of the border slave States, in which the President urged upon those roprasontatives tho policy as ono to bo adopted by those of the slavcholding States which wore loyal, nnd which bad no sym- pathy with the Robellion. In April, 1862, ono year aftor tho fring on Fort Sumter, o bill was passed by both Houses of Congress abolishing slavery in tho District of Columbia, and authorized a Commission to appraise the valuo of tho slaves, but limiting the componsation to 800 for cach slave, and approprinted $1,000,000 for tuat purpose. It also approprinted $100,- 000 to colonizo such slaves os might dosiro to omigrnte to Hayti or Liboria, 5. 0. Postenoy, of Kansas, obtained the appoint- ment as Commissionor of Colonization to Central America, drew $25,000, and that was oll ho did.

In July, 1862, tho President had anothor conferenco with the Congressmou from tho border States, in which ho again urgod upon them tho policy of componnated emancipa- tion. Inthnt futorviow he said: ‘‘ How much botter for you nnd for your poople to tako tho step which at onco shortens the War and seoures substantial compensation for that which is suro to bo lost in any other event, How much better for you, as seller, and tho nation, ag buyer, to sell out and buy out that without which the War could never havo beon, than to sink both tho thing to bo sold aud tho prico of it in outting ono an- ‘othor’s throats.” He did not ask immedinto emancipation, but that tho border States should at onco decide to emancipate gradu- ally, and with n viow to the colonization of the negroos, Nothing camo of this.

The only compensation mado for slaves was that mado to tho ownors of that kind of property in the Distriot of Colunbia, ‘Tho fnot was that tho devotion to slavery was fully os strong, thongh not na universal, in the bordor Btates as it was in thoso States actually in robell- fon, ond the owners of slaves generally jn thoso States clung to their property most pertinaciously.
