Tho mom- ory of the oldest inhabitant hardly rons back tp the time when Mr, Lanranex was not in charge of tho Water Department, and his experietico and integrity havo beon so long recognized by successive adminiatrations that it would be an unpardonable blunder to re- movo him meroly for tho sake of giving his place to some ono with “claims” on tho prosent City Govornment, In resiating such 8 prosgure tho Mayor is doing the right thing: at the right time, Tho customary recklosiness and extrava- ganco wero noticeable youterday in the last hours of.the extra session of Cougress, Res- olutious were passed without debate or in- quiry voting money to the nmnerous hang- ers-on who have been employed without au. thority of law during the session, and tho scramble for a chance at the Tronsury becama so gonoral that the Domooratio loaders wero compelled to rosort ton recoss in ordor to proventatill heavier and moro disgraceful jobs from belong forcod through while the Ilonso was waiting for the Sonate to concur in tho adjournmont joint resolution, Vakiug into , account the coat of the extra session, which tho Demoornts made necossary by their re. fusal to pasa appropriations for keoping the Governinout, it will be fouyd that the party of economy and reforin has made a moat un- satay record these Inst three mouths and a half, Bomothing like tardy justice seems tohavo overtuken the man Gotsxx, who appoara to have borne nbout tho samo rolation to the Post-Ofico ring of thieves that Jazz Ryne bore to the Whisky-Ring in thiacity, Ho was tried and convicted o8 u beneficiary of tho thefts, and was yesterday sentenced to one your's jmprisonment in the County Jail aud a fine of $1,200, which ix about the amount at which his,abaro of tho plunder was osti- mated. ‘Tho sympathy of the community will go out to the wife and children, whose existence was invoked by Gozsen’s counsel ius plos for mergy; but this feature of tha cise in no wigo affeots the justice of the pun- Jaument. It is not particularly gratifying to reflect thut Mixnzr eucapes because he fur- nisbed the tuatfopy, on which tho othors THE CHICAGO ,TRIBUNE:- WEDNESDAY, , JULY 2, 1870-TW were convicted, and atill leas gratifying to think that Greco's rentenco has boon de- forred with the-oxpectation of procuring ® pardon, But the escapo of cortain culprits shonld not inure to the bonofit of others in this caso, ns has bean tho rule in most of the Government prosecutions, ——— The June wheat deal in this city was closed up yesterday, so far os ite market character was concerned, by the purchase on* the part of the “ longs” of # few score thou- sand bushels of wheat “on account of whom it may concern.” ‘Thia means that they will probably try to collect, from tho partica who failed to doliver, the differonce ‘between tho price pnid yestorday and the prico at which the wheat .was origivally bonght, ‘Chis mny cause somo litigation— indeed, it will undoubtedly do so, The magniludo of tho doal up to date is not for from olovon millions of bushels, a very large proportion of which was sold by men who did not own tho whont at tho time they sold it, but cxpooted to bo able to buy it at loss than tho selling prices, and thus make, a profit ont of the operation, Whatever moy be snid of the morality or jnstics, or the absonce of those qunlitics, displayed in running a cornor, thero can be no qitestion that corners contd not be run without ‘short sollors.” Tho mon who only sell property which thoy own nover got caught in corners or squeozca horo, however it may bs eleewhere. Tho man who sells what is not his own should romembor that the one who buys it is striv- ing to make n profit ont of the oporation, and isos much entitled to sympathy when ho loses as is the gamblor whon ho bote on the wrong card; just so much and no more, THE PRESIDENT'S TRIUMPH. Now that tho long agony of partisan in- trigue, under the nnme of an extra session of Congress, is nt an ond, it seems propor to award in plain terms the eredit which all impartial men will admit to bo the duo of Prosidént Haves for his persénal and official conduct during the controversy forced upon him. ‘The position of President Haves hag always beon embarrassed by tho conditions which surrounded his induction into office, Tho more fact that there was a dispute as to his title naturally attracted something mora than the ordinary partisan opposition which every occupant of the White House must expact to encounter. That dispute was sot- tled according to the forma of Inw, but n faction of ambitious and unscrupulous poli- ticiana wera not willing to abldo by the decision, and Prosident Hares’ tenuro of offlca has beon threatened by the menaco of impeachment, and actually assailed by intrigue and tho stibornation of perjury. In addition to these partisan attacks, Mr. Hayes has boon sub- jected ‘to hostile criticism from many of those to whom he would naturally look for support, because he bas in mony cases ran counter to the ambition of the machine poli- ticians to continue in tho control of the of- fices nud the radical Republicans to maintain nsoctional strife which he hopod to abate by’ concilintory efforts. No man, then, who ever. occupied tho Presidontig! chair was ap. parently go illy prepared to resist Congros- sional encroachment upon Executive prorog- ative, Thero is no doubt that the knowil- edge of this fact did much to encourage tho Democratic politicians to enter upon tho pro- grammo of intimidation which they have vainly endeavored to carry out. Thoy count- ed upon timidity in the Executive na o result of provious thronts in tho faco of : their now menace to block tho wheols of Government, unless. thoy could compel tho President to surrender tho veto powor into gheir hands, In the courageous and persistent opposi- tion which President Hares has mado to all tho intrigues of the Congressional cabal ho has displayed great porsonal dignity aa woll as official'firmnoss of purpose. When An- Drew Jonson was involved in a contro. versy with Congress, which was similar in form though very difforont in principle, he availed himself of all the devices of the dem- agogue. Ho proclaimed his trials ond tribu- lations from tho housotops,, Ho was con- stantly haranguing the people in one way or anofMer, Ie obtrudod his poraonality upon the public in an offensive manner. Ho rav- olntionized the public service and prosti- tuted tho patronago of his office to gain an advantage, and ho ended by forfeiting oven that publio respect which would have bowed to onrnost conviction, though it were wrong. ‘Mr. Hargs, on the contrary, has prococdod in a quict, gontlomanly, and official fash- ion, To bas mado no conspicnons efforts to gain a personal following among the * politicians, nor to appeal in any sensational manner to tho people, But hho has pursued wilh romarkable courage and detormination a course marked out by the Constitution, Ho has not beon precipitate nor irritating inhia dealinga with Congross, but he hag never fultered when tho proper time came for him to act, Ho has been govarnod by oxcollent common gonso” at evory stngo of tho conflict, and ho comes out of it with personal honor, official dignity, and the respect and approbation of the American people, It is n notable fact that no onc of the five voto mausages ling boen sucossfully auswored by the partisan londérs in Congress who in- gugurated and conducted the warfare upon the Executive. Tho best proof of this, of eourso, is found in the successive rotroals mado by the Domocrats after ovory voto until they had finally abandoned every important position they had taken. ‘That thoy reached a “last dito” and indo a stand there, ia merely becanso tho interests of the country did not demand any furthor pursuit at this time, ‘Pha Domooratio purpose of destroying tho Election laws and openiug tho way for free frands,was alwaysand ulturly indefonsible,and. their main rolianco all the timo was in the aasumod weakness of tho Prealdent, In thia they havo suffered a must humiliating disap- pointment. ‘fhelr throats toward the last became absolutely puorile, and they aban. doned all attempt at reasoning. ‘The tri- ‘unph of President Hayxs ig something moro than o personal or temporary victory, bo- causa ho has vindicated tho thoory of the veto av a constitutional prorogative of tho Executive so thoroughly that it will proba. Uly be free frown partisan and scotional attack for vomo yours to come. Tho Democratic defeat is not trausiont, since the action of the present Congross will bo accepted by tho people as 4 worning against avy extension of Domocrativ powor over the General Gav- ernment, ‘The President has been as judiciousin tor- minating tho struggle at tho point where it is left as he was iu combating the Democrats up to thut point. ‘Chey havo merely refused. to appropriate'the moneys actually in the ‘Troasury for the pay of United States Mur. shalg, because tho Proaldent would not as- sent to their: proposed nullification of the Election laws, ‘Lereupon the Prosident, af. tor informing thom of the fmportanco of tho Marshals us the constabley aud policed of tho Genoral Government, and pointing out th palpnblo injustice of withholding their pay whon tho people have alrondy provided for it, enya to tho country that he will make au earnext effort to have tho courts remaln open, to administer publicg justice and to collect the revenues jn spite of the em- barrossment thua put upon him. Ha does this to save the country from the further cost and claiin of anothor extra session, ‘Tho potty malice involved in robbing the Mar- shala of thoir pay will bo duly appreciated by tho country, and tho personal ‘jnjustico whiob the Marshals will suffer who remain in tho sorvico and do their duty notwithstand- ing fho lack of pay will stimulate tho popa- lnr sonse of the Domooratic meaunoss, whioh * is tho most dograding confossion of failure the Congrossional-cabal could possibly havo made, Maauwhile, the people will be grate- ful to Prosidont Hares, first for resisting and dofenting the Demooratic conspiracy ngainst National sovoroignty and the purity of elec- tions; and, seconily, for lotting Congress dia- Perso at theenrliqst momont compatible with the safety and welfare df tho Govornmont.

Tits non-committal attitude on the currency question encourages tho managers to think that he could reunite the party on this issuo, Wig sacrifices in 1876, when ho took the seo- ond placo on the ticket with the distinot un- derstanding that it should entitle hin to the first noxt time, constitute ocinim on the honor of the party. Thon he fs thu * favorite son” of Indiana, the only Northern Stato ox- copt Now York in which n Domoerntio ma- jority is probable. Ho has a cloancr record than Tinpex, bocnuse he bas not been ex- posed to tho hottest fire of a campaign. Ha wos a Southern sympathizer and Coppor- hond during tho War, and on this account is kindly remombored by the Solid Bouth, Ho was hot callod on to nct during tho Electoral fmbroglio ; consequontly ho did not show the white feather as Tien did. But he suffered by the decision of the Com- mission; hence ho has tho syinpathy of tho people. Tho Southern fire-cators reason the cage out in their own peculiar way, and this Is their conclumon: ‘TrnpeN had not the courage to scizo the Presidency, and so proved himself not worthy of it; Hexpnrcxs anffered by the cowariica of TrupeN, and ought now to be indemnified ; ‘Ttupzx should havo all the kicks, Henpnices all tho half. pence.

Ho Je not a good “stayor.” In 1876, two mouths bofore the Convontion mot, ho seemed as far shead as he doos now, But he broke down miserably at the finish, Ho was glad enough to take second place on the ticket, Ha ate hbumblo pic. He was disgustingly moek. The people do not liko » meek man for a londor. hoy want one who can surely be depended on to atand by hiv colony. Now, Mr, Ienvnrogs, if ho can't got oné office, will toke another, It is the knowledge of this faot which makes poople doubt whether he is really in earnest in cutting loose from Tinpen. Whatever the issuo may be, overy- body feels that Henpntcra will aubmit, and Indiana bo carried for the Domocratio ticket, But itis not so cortain that, if Tupen is beaton, Now York will be saved to the party. It Mr. Henpricks wishes to kcep the lead ho pow has, ho must find soma‘way to conyinca the Demouratic managors that he will have tho first plnco or nothing. Otherwiso he will bo put off with tho socond placo in 1880, as he was in 1876. . ; FASHIONADLE WEDDING IN HEAVEN, ‘The marriaga of Banan Oatuanive Eaton and Bengasin Prence, which took place in the other world June 20, was the first core- mony of the kind ever reported for an American nowspapor, This is our exouso for surrendoring so much space to the sub. ject yesterday. Tho social standing of the young peoplo thus happily united in tho bonds of wedlock would not alone have been sufloient, if they had still been in this mun. Qnuo sphere, to mako their nuptinls inter. eating to the publics but wo littl. is surely known of tho enstoms of the other world that an account of a wedding there by an oye-witnoss is sonsational nawasof the frst consequence, : Liko many other roports of woddings in the society colunus of the nowspapers, thig ono comes from tho father of tho bride, Col, Isaac F, Eaton, of Leavonworth, Kan., tho representative of that State on the National Domocratic Committoc, Col. Eaton was not admitted to a view of tho coromony himuclf, but ho had full nows of it from Dr, V, Mans. r1eLy, 6 writing medium of New York, Dr, ‘Mansrizip eaw the wholo affair, and was even ablo to distinguish tho guests, aud get thoir neincs down in order for the next day's mail. He had sufticiout education in the inysteriea of the feminine toilot to declare the: bride's robe “a mud green” at first aight, and he doos not omit to mention the very unusual dress of the bridegroom's mothor, old Mra, Preror, who, we aro os- sured, was gotten up stunningly in puro white,—a youthful color for her ogo and figure, Even moro noteworthy, howover, than tho report of the wodding ituolf is the insight it gives into celestial mode of living, ‘Tho bride departed this life Nov, 20, 1845, being then at tha tonder ngo of six weqks, - She was ovor 33 years of ago at the time of hor nurriage,—a fact which in Heavon wo suppose would cause uo unfayorablo comment, Now it appears from ono of tho bride's letters to her fathor, which is not wo modest as we wish it wero, that aho ia hichly accomplished, he could not have Iehrned mnch during the Uriof torm of her torrestrint residence. It must be, thon, that'ghy has bean to school in fearon, Do they have schools in Ivavon? What is tho natura of thuso institutions? Are thoy taught by {he Pestallozzian method or sume other? ‘hose nre absorbing ques- fons which Dr, V. Maneytenp hos neglocted to answer. Ono thing, how- evor, is ipparont—that. tho English languago is imperfectly tauglt among the colegtialy, and that thoy had ngt’roformad our vicious orthography. We had hoped that tha Hoav- enly hosts would ba phonetic,—at loast that they wonld bo grammatical. . But Sanat Oatuaning Eaton is neither ono nor the other, Sho spolls like a fallon angel, ac. cording to Wenaren, and sho uses such ox- tenordiuary English aq this: ‘+All there yeare, moro than thirty [obrerve the diMldence of Sanan Catuantxm Eaton in regatd tohernce,—sho is nearly 4) have T walked by your side and that of dear mother, who has been ‘an Invalld moet of tho time since you ani ahe wae called upon to part whe,» + Sho shall come to dwell in the mansion whieh 7 Aave stiper- intended its buitdingl and with my tiny hands coaxed evergreens, roree, and vines all over it." It in. a comfort to kuow that Sanau Catu- anne Eatoy, though she is verging on 84, has ‘tiny hands” .and knows thoir tinni- ness, . * It appears also from Dr. V. Mansriuzp's roport that thoy keep up the fashions in Heaven, Wo had supposed that Heavon was a placo whora tho, woary oro at rest, If itisascone of fauiiounble frivolity whore “‘mud-greon silks ” abound, and the meanest man is compolled td engago a band of musia and set out terrapiniand hire two ministors for his danghter’s wedding, somo of ua will dosira to be excused from going thero, If that is the programmé, it is no wonder that the women in this country aro so much more devout than tho mon.” Tho Inst important, revelation that Dr. V. Manayiezp makes in regard to Hoaven is that they have polities there, Wo observe that ex-Prosidont Frank Pience, tho fathor of the groom, had all his old Democratic friends at the wedding, and, comparatively spoaking, no Whigs, It is truo Zacmany ‘Tavtox was there; but ho was invited, no doubt, on necount of his high military rank; he was never much, of a politician, Tho samo is truo of Gon, Scorr, who ngs nde- fented candidate for the Presidency seom- ed entitled to special consideration. But tha other political party was roprosonted by o wholo host of notables,—among others, Man+ tix Van Bonen, Stepaen A, Dovanas, Live Woopnunr, Lewis Oass, Tost Benron, Bias Tirn, and James K, Potx. Jie Buonanau was not thero for rensous which perhaps it is unnecessary to mention, Per- haps ho does not reside in Heavon, But we should think nt least Narmanten Hawrnonne, tho ex-President’s -biographor, would have boon invited, and it would havo been soomly if more New Hampshire poople had beon asked. It looks ‘uppish” for a man to for- get the friends of his youth on auch an occa- sion. : x Making the best that is poasible of Dr. V. Mansrienp’s report, and the light it throws onthe state of future oxistonce, we cannot refrain, after reading, from applying to tho mansions of the bloased tho revolutionary sentiments of poor Dick Deadeye: “It ian queer world; it is o' queer world." THE INDIAN PROBLEM. The ontraga perpetrated .uvon tho un- fortunate Pouca Indians, and tho subsequent fotorfdrined Iu tholtebide UY'Indge Doky at Omaha, may result in placing the Indian question on a now and ratioual foundation, and in roliovying tle Government of the shamagand respousibility which attach to the robbory and plunder of the Indians by tho whites, ard the lovy of brutalized warfare, on the whites by tho Indians, Tho Pouca Indians havo beon always noted for thoir Integrity dnd for their desire for poace, They were industrious ond frugal; they had adopted many of tho beat habita of civilized lifa; ond among thom wascultiy ated toan unusual degrea: the sanctity and love of family. Each familly was n pencoful com- munity, ond tho tribo was a community of happy families. Thesa poople had their schools and thelr implements of husbandry, ond wero kind and liberal in all their inter- course and relations with others. Having put thelr lands into a highly-improved cov. dition, the Indiana wero living peacefally whon the sordid whitg man determined to posaess the lands, ‘The removal of these In- diana was then resolved upon, and by legis. Intion, and by connivanco of the Indion Bureau, aud the combination of traders, agents, end contractors, an ordor was issucd directing the romoval of theso Indians to tho Indian ‘ferritory. ‘hey romonstrated ; but the white man’s avatico was unrelenting. ‘They sont a delegation to the Territory to examine it, and this: delegation roported ngainst it. Thoy appealed to an Indian Buronu that wag deaf to avery renti- ment of humanity,’..\'hey wero forcibly taken—700 in all—from tho land on which niost of them were born, tho women and children, old aud young, torn from thelrlong associations, from their homes and well- tilled flolds, and carried to tho remote Iand of atrangor Indians, Phoir location was so unhealthy that they fell victims to disease, and while there 200 of: thom died, Unable to ondure this any longer, Standing Boar anda portion of his band started on foot from tho Indian Territory, aud, foot-soro, sick, and worn down, this little band pre- ferrod to dio upon the graves of their kindred to dying afar off in tho'land of tho stranger, Alrendy nearly one-half of the onco happy and prosperous community had perished, so these men, braving all, things, struck out for thelr old homo and reached there, Their ar. rival was promptly reported, and the cruel order was iseuod by thd!Indian Buroau to ar- reut them and tako ther buck, LEvory effort that humanity could guggost, every appeal that Christian cars would liaten to, was nado, but the dishonest, thieving Indian Ring was all-powerful, and the Indian Burenu, to ita disgrace, directed tho military to seizo thosa mon and take them back to the graves that were awaiting thom in the Indian country, At this crisis, when thoso unfortunate peo. ple were brought to Omeha, a private citizen in thelr behalf, with two lawyers, applied to the Court for o writ of, Aabeas corpus, and Judgo Dunpy, of the Uniled States Court, granted it, Ho heard 'tho wholo case, and decided that these Ind{ane had been wolaw- fully removed from their homes and their lands; and ho held fujfher, that on Indian was “a porson” in the full legal souse of that term, ond as such: was entitled to all the rights, libort{es, aud priviloges which any othor porspn could elaim, and could not bo deprived of his Ife, liberty, or property except by duo procass of: Inw, For the firat time in the history of thé Amorican Indians was this principle of {law oxtonded to one of that race, Yor; couturiee ho has been the victim of every doscription and form of outrage; his Hfe, jila liberty, his per- son, hiv family, his children, and his prop. erty have been ignored” by the Jaw of tho LVE PAGs. land, aud of all theso he has beon plun- derail continnously, ramorscleasly, cruelly, and shanolesaly, Nevor buforg-does it room to have entered tho mind of cither the In- dinn or the white man that theso human bes ings, natives, and original owners of tho boil, had any porsonal or legal right which any ono was undor any obligation to respect, and much Joss that tha Indian conld go tute court and bo thud recognized legally os 6 “person” of whom the Court contd tnko keowledge and over whom the Court had jurisdiction to protect, * Pho surprise really ought not to be that Judge Duxpy made such arighteous decision, bnt the anrpriso fs that mitch n decision has nover been made beforo, All tho Indian troubles hnve grown out of tho theory that the Indian was not a“ peraon,” but part of a tribe; not an ontity, but au undivided part of n distinct whole. Judgo Duxpy, who do- norves the thanks of the whole Luin family, has explodod this old theory, aud recognizes logal rights as inseparable from mauhood, The groat outrage on ‘this band of unof- fending Indians has, however, been ‘only partinlly remedied. The greator portion of the survivors are atill in the Indian Territory, perisbing rapidly by disease, Why should thoy be kept thero? Why should thoy not be releasud from oxile and inevitable annibiln. tion, and permittad to join their countrymen at thoir old homo? If the few who haya re- turned havo the legal right to remain, and if the forcible removal of o portion was illogal, thon the detention of those now in tho Indian Territory was illegal, and the unfortunate persons nro entitled to return to thelr homes. Wo understand the wholo Tudian Ring is opposod Jo such 9 procecd- ing, as they nro opposed to any recognition of logal rights on tho part of tho Indinns, Wo do not protend to say what nro tho views of tho President and of Secretary Scnunz, nor that they will not order that theso Indians boroturned, But there having boon an appeal to the courts in ona instance, why not a like npponl to the courts in behalf of the romainder of thoso outraged and pinn- dered poople ? ‘flo movement to institute logal procoedings in thor behalf des2rves tho sympathy nnd nid of ayory lovar of justice and humanity. The afflrmanco of Judga Donnr's decis- ion, and its ful adoption by the Govornment in its doalings with the Indiaus, would be the destrnotion of the dishonest ndministration of Indian affairs, and would probably accom- plish tho hanging or imprisonment of n scoro of traders, agonts, contractors, and other oflicors and stipondiaries of the Indian service, This Indian servico has been on au improper thoory always, ‘ho service has been conducted upon ‘the theory that the Governmont and the Ihdiavs were lowful proy to tho intermediaries created by law to stand betweon the Indians nnd tho Govorn- ment. ‘That theory has been most religious- ly adhered to, and gonorally tho service has been corrupt, from the Commissioner at Washington to tho lowest omployo op the frontior.

The Equitable Life-Acsurance Company has just announced som important roforms in thelr systom which, if-cnrried out in good faith, will not only be of groat advantage to their policy-holdors, but compol other com- panies to follow thelr oxamplo, Thoso re- forms are briefly and clearly announced os follows: (1) That all policies shall be in- contestabla by the Company on any ground whatsoever after three ‘anuval payments shall hove beon mnde; (2) that every policy, whothor tho ordinary Ufo polloy or tho ‘Tontine policy, shall have a definite surren- dor-vqlue (tho former in a patd-up policy and tho Inttor in cash) after threo years from its, dato; (3) that the contract, thus simplified, aball bo conciscly and olearly oxpressod in tho policy ; and (4) that the now rulo is applied to all oxisting policies as well as those that shall bo taken out in ‘tha future, "This now doparture will work a revolution in the life-insuranco business, Exact adborence to theso laws will: practically extinguish litigation for the recovery of inauranco by the wife or family for whoue Donefit the husband snd father hos strug- gled to psy tho annual premiums. Tho confusion that has grown out of the con- flloting judicial decisions in various States will no longor furnish a pretext for avoiding or doferring the payment of a policy which “matures by death or agreamont. Neither the act nor the suspicion of suicide, nor ovy allogation of fraud or irregularity, will servo to prevont the collection of the money due the insured or his heirs after throo payments lave beon made, and the inability to maine tain the payments after three yonra will atill Jonva the insured the proportionate value of his investmont. Tho genoral reform In the system of life- insurance which may bo oxpectod as a roault of this action on the part of tho Equitable Life will contribute also to n marked im- doing businos# on the new plan. It will no. cenaitato a reduction of oxponses itt all direc. tlong, sinco the illegitimate profits from con- touted maturetl policies, and the incidental revenue from lapses of policioy, will bo cut off, All the companioy, undor.the now sys. tom, will ba compelled to abandon tho ex- travagance of princoly salaries ond patatial offices, and the provailing vico of seeking new buslucss by excossive commissions to agents at the expense of those who already hold policies will bo reformed altogethor, In taking the lead in this matter, tho Equitable Life has followed out tho prin- eiplo upon which it acted in tho Dwionr caso, which exoltod so much attention a few months ago, Tho death of Mr, Dwiaur withing short time after taking out-a large Nuo of life-insuranco furnished a protext for sotting up suicide and fraud in the procuro- ment of his policies, and many of the losing companica sought to cacapy paymant, but the Equitable paid over the moucy without contest. In applytug this rulo to all policlos aftor tho lapso of » reasonable time for the discovery of irregularitios, the Equitable will forco other companies to adopt it, and tho result will bo greater economy, moro caro, aud better management than could be ge cured by any legislative dovice or any systom of official inspection, Life-iusurance will not pay his debts, so the Khedivo of Egypt provement in the condition of the companies. novor ngain be as spaculal nd fon ational’ in this country na Jt; waa n fow years nga, Untit will honeoforth bo snfor aid: moro valuable to the people $f tho naw’ Fules of tho Equitable be adoptod gonarally, ener Tho mennest tax on tho Amerioan atathte., book, and tha wickodost, was yesterday.re- peated, Wo rofer, of course, to tho tex bn quinine, maintained for ofyutoen yeord fbr tho benefit of a gang of blood-suckora, ‘Tho ‘Dill putting salts of quinine and sulphate of qquinine.on tho freo list pasred the Housd by n vote of vlx to one, and the Sennto withont opposition, Of course the Prosident will nignit, One of our Chicago mombars, Mr,’ Atpntot, camo vory near gotting .on’ the wrong’ side of ‘the record.
