In 187), owing tothe fuet that tho three towns in Chiengo were also park distr two of whieh were undor the direction of the town authoritles, the consolidation of the three towns Into ot was deemed tneonsistent with the park or- ganizations, The Legisiature, therefore, pro- yiiled that, under such clreumstanees, the people might vote to ereate park districts sep arate and distinet from the “towns. When this vote was tin by the people, all legal ob- struction to: the consolfdation of the three towns of Chicago was considered as removed, Since then it has been suggested that the aet of 177 provides for tho erention of a town where none existed before, and not for a consolidation of towns already ex- istlng, 1 this construetion of the act of 1877 be the correct one, then the power to consolidate ting towns mist be found in the act of 1 That act requires a direct vote of the people on the question of consall- dation, and the law confines the consolidation to that of “two towns, Assuming that the power to consolidate “two” towns tue piles the power to consolidate three towns, It isclaimed that it will still require another vote of the people, not to be taken before No- vember next, to unthorize this consoldation, Per contra, Mr. Willett, the attorney for the county, elves ft as hls opinion tbat the County Board may proceed to con- salldute the three towns under the act of ist It is unfortunate that this legal complication should es and thus postpone ff not defeat the desired consolida- thon, All the dimeulty grows out of the eare- less, inconsiderate, ignorant way the Inws are prepared; the loose and Indefinit: terms of the net of 1877 ara an exaniple of this style of legislation, THE LANDLORDS' CLAIM AGAINST THE IRISH PEOPLE. Earl Dunraven now comes forward as the spokestaan for the Irish landlords, He con- tributes several columns of a defense to Jin Bennett, who puts tho communteation into the Telegram, which is the evening edl- tlon of tha New York Herald, and this re- loves the latter of some of the oilun it has attracted ns the Aimertean organ of the British ‘Tories and aysailant of the Irish, whe have bull it up. ‘The Larl Dunraven condemns the Parnell land agitation in violent language, but he suggestsnothing butemigration for ths future rellef of the Irish amnsses, Ie would per- petuate the present feudal system of de- spoiling 26,000,000 people for the benefit of §,000 non-rosident Iand monepollsts, He wonld continue to fleece the peasantry. of every penny thoy can earn, In order that the abseutes landlords may reside on the Con- tinent, and spend the millions thus exacted in dissipation, gambling, and riotous living, Tall eases where masses of Irishmen ean no longer sustain themselves, when they and. their families ara driven to the verge of starvation, or when they revolt agaist the Infguitous oppression,, he would ¢x- putriate them and let thom find thelr way In the steernya of ships to America, without money and without resources. He. would swell the poorer classes of the Ameri- ean cltles after depriving the agricultural la- borers of Ireland of the means to nequire faring In Gils country, ‘Thfs is a seltish and eruel ylew of tho Irish distress, » The French nobles talked to the French peasants befora the French Revolution tn inuch the same fashlon that Dunraven now talks to tho Irish people, ‘They told the French serf farmers that rents were “debts,” that they must pay or vacate thelr leasehotda, that starvation was their own affair, and that they must choose between the eternal tribute and eviction, The result was that the pens- ants of France joined tho starved classes of the cities and overthrew the feudal land system, ‘The French nobles and the Churel elergy lost thelr Jands and rents, and. the Freneh farmers beenme tho owners tu fee by purehase from the Revolutionary Gov ment, and have continfied to hold thom with afirm gip ever sinee, ‘Phils land revolution extended Into Belylum and Southern and Wistern Germany, antl wherever French dominion asserted Itself, . Dunraven’s main reagen for predictlag the failure of tho Parnell plan for land owner- alilp by tho farmers is In direct contiict with the general Tory position, It has been eon- tended all nloug that the tenant farmers, After galuing the akt of Government in tho repurchase of thelr lands, would sell them out gain te the wealthy few, and that the lands woukl drift back into lnrge holdings, and that there would thus be a revival of Jandiovdiam, But Dunraven advances the theory that the farmers would subdivide the Jnnds ainony the warlous membors of thelr fauilles until the farms world dwindle into more “potato patelies,” and bo Insatielent for the support of the owners, ‘This has not been the uxperlonce of tha French, Belgian, Bavarian, and Prusslan farmers under the freoholding system. It would not be the Irish experience, ‘Tho Lrish peasantry would neither part with small: farms to land spocu- Jators and monopollats nor yet divide thom into “patches” among thelr children, ‘They would uequire thrift and economy, and lay Up small surpluses In money to enable the surplus of population to emigrate ta Amer- fen with aufiofent means to buy farms in the new country, Just as the surplus farm popu- lation of the Eastern States moves West, ‘Tho Eark Dunraven scoffs ut whit he af- fects toconstrucas a palpable Inconsistency — viz. the theory that men who claim they are unable to pay rent should undertake to pay not only rent (in the shape of Interest), but also the purehase-money for tho farms, ‘Tho reply to this ts obvious, Tho tenants fre now paylng an exorbitant rent upon fieti- tous valuation; the same, or nearly the sme, rate Of payment will enable them to keep up thelr interest upon the purehiase- money and reduce the principal gradually, An the second place, men working farms of thelr own will do more tnbor, accumulate more huprovements, take better care of their land by draluage and manures, and produce darger results, than when working the suine fare as tenants ot will” of the rapacious landlord, As {tis now, thoy rather uvold an ubuudant crop, In the knowledge that It will Smmediutely entail an increase of rent upon them which cannot be pald In bad years, ‘This ly exuctly the experience of France be- where ‘the territory within’ fora and after tho change of her Land Inws. Before the peasants became proprictors the forming was bad and the crops nised scanty, and tho Inn became smpoverished ant rin down. After they became owners of thelr holdings the farmers plowed deep, mankred well, and improved the land In every possihte way; and, since then, have doubled and quadrnpled the crops produced in France, Like causes will produca Wke effects, tu Trolant as well na tn France. Under individual ownership, ambition, pride, self-Interest, and the sense of ownership will stinulnte the Insh farmers to industry and frugulity of which they have heretofore been regarded as Ineapable, ‘Thore ts no danger that tho mass of Irish peasants will not he able to hold thetr own, ay the Freneh have done, If they ever get It. Tho Dunraven theory of Trish titles ts false, Slnee the clatm for, tndividual owner: alilp Is based upon the fact that the lands of Treland were contiseated by the Britlsh Gov ernment and given to the ancestors of the present ownors without compensation, Din raven matutains that the peasmt-owners, once in possession, would have no better title than tha present proprictors possess, This theory fauores allke the feudal system under which possession of the Irish lands was acquired by the landlords and the pro- posed plan for reelalining thom by purchase, There aro two ways in which tho transfer of ownership can be made, and both will confer avastly better title upon the new owners than that which attaches to the present own- ership, Tho British Government may repossess Uself of the lands whieh tt eontiscafed onthe broad ground that the so-called proprtetors ave feudal tenants of the Crown. ‘The Earl Dunraven'’s eneestor nequired the Jands he | now holds without the payment of any. pur- chase money; the only consideration he promised was to furnish the Crown with men and ineans to fight the battles of the Klng- dom but the feudal system no longer pre- vails, the holders of the Lrish lands no longer furnish the consideration upon which pos- session was granted, and the Crown, as En- giish lawyers adult, may reelatin its own without prive, of the ground that possession for & couple of centuries without pay- ment of consideration has been gen- erous enough to the Crown — tenants. Tn eases where possession has been acquired by purehase under the “Enenmbered Estate act,” the Sheriff who sold tha land vould give no beetter title thin the seller possessed, whieh was thatot a feudal holding. If in- clined to be still more generous, the British Government cnn reclain the Jands under the law of eminent domain, aud pay the present holders fair and reasonable price, In either ease, however, the Government may sell to the farmers, who will acquire a genuine title by netual payment that wilt be better than any title under whieh the present Iandlords now hold thelr property. The Dunrayen defense of the lanilori- system Is weak, selfish, and ertel, and its pro- mitigation Is not enleuluted to fmpatr the sympathy the American peaple feel for the oppressed, re pbbed peaple of Ireland. THE REVOLUTION IN MAINE, The Gareelon outrage in Maine has now been carried to the full extent of usurpation. ‘The Governor ant his Council have peralsted {n thotr deliberate misconstruction of the taw and their defiance of the Supreme Court. ‘Tho Fuston members who were not elected took their seats, with two exceptions, A. quortm was thus obtained fn spite of the withdrawal of all the Republicans except Eugene Mate (who remalued to represent the Republican protest), and the fraudulent Legislature was thus organized, ‘Thia body, in the condition of Its ovlatnal organtzntion, isas much creature of ex-Gov, Gareeton’s as ifno election had been held in the State, and the majority of the people have been as completely disfranehised ag the subjects of any despotic Goyermnent fn tho Dark Ages. What the final result will be remains yet to be determined, ‘The Republicans reckoned without thelr host when they eounted upon the refusal of some of the “counted-In” Democrats to serve, ‘Iho scheme to steal the State was deliberate, and comprehended the coBporation of all parties necessary to It, ‘To look to the Democratic party for any sacrifice of partisan advantage to prinelpls or justlea fs simply quixotle, If there shalls yet be any retreat from the infamous scheme in Maine, it will be before x fores of public opinton which the Democratle party will no longer dare to defy, or with the consclons- ness of guilt before » mennce and fear of violence. So long as unseruputonsness and bravado will serve the Democratie purpose there will bo no serlous defection in the ranks of the revolutionlsts, Gareelon exhiblted an effrontery that was astonishing even as coming from hlm when he submitted the Supreme Court opin- ton to his crontures “and invoked thelr eare- ful consideration of the sane,” after having openly defied tt himself. ‘The rulings of the Court applied especially to Garcelon’s ac- tions. Ho was officially Informed by. the highest tribunal in the State that he had mis- construc and violated the Constitution and the laws, He was Instructed that It was his duty to Issue the cortifieates he had with- held, But he refused to comply with all or any of tho virtual mandates of the Court, and then, forsouth, he invokes serlous consider- ation for that Court's opinion from hts co- conspirators! It was very much tiko adyis- ing a careful administration upon the pos- sessions ‘of & man who had been murdered and plundered, ‘Tho Gareelon crowd would never have dared to go to the extreme of actual revolu- ton If Tt had not recelved taelt approval and aetual encouragement from the Demoeratic party at large, ‘This clreumstance places the Demoernts tn tho attltuds of demanding su- breme control of a Government whose un- derlying priuclple—the popular vote—they are deliberately seoklug to destroy, THE END OF CUBAN SLAVERY. One of tho most beneficent of the Christ- mas announcements, and tn thorough cons sunance with Its Jegend of “good will to men,” ts the deelaration of the Spanish Cortes that slavery Is to be abolished in the Istand of Cuba, tho emancipation commencing during tho present month and ending on Jan. 1, 1800. ‘This will clowe tho trattia i and. ownership of human flesh in the New World, except In Brazil, where, however, slavery is In process of rapid extinction, For more than 380 years Spaln has nado Cuba and tho othor islands of the Went Indies the scene of tho most horrible atrocities that have characterized this most horrible system, with the ald of Buglish sympathy ant En-. gllsh transportation for the sake of English greed, For nearly all these conturies of mis- ery and suffering the trado went on imder the authority of Spanish treatles and pro- tected by tho flag of Engtund, Roman Catholics und English Protestants Jolned hands in tho shameless Inlqulty and applied its revenues to the spread of religion. Par- Munents supported it and the clergy defend- ed it, and at last fn 1705 England by solemn treaty secured the monopoly of steallng human belngs from Afriea to supply Cuba with its vlaves; and with this monopoly of brutality aud blood England did her work with horrible Industry, not hampered by any feeling of mercy to the wretuled blacks, until sho had fastened the curse of slivery. not only upon tho West Indtes, but also npon the United States, In one century she trans- ported over o inillllon of these unfortunntes to our shores, and threw 250,000 into the sex, whocouldnotsurvivethohorrorsof the middle pasguge, No form of human cruelty devised since the world commenced has equaled in cold-blooded atrocity the cruelty which was practiced under the protection of the English lag. The vlave-ship wag a floating Inqulsi- tlon and charucl-house, Brute beasts are freated with tendernesy compared with tho trontmont that was extended to these ne- groes, torn from thelr homes by kidnapers, We make laws for the protection of eattle and hogs transported a few hundreds of tnlles, No proteetion was extended to these human. beings transported thousands of iniles In the horrible holds uf the slave-ships. Chained in long rows and packed between decks, where there was not room even to sit up, it was not many days before the living found themselves ehatned to the dying. Tho dead and even the dying were thrown Into the sen, and to the dylug It was a mereiful release from a ying helt, Day after day the groans of the poor creatures rose to the pililess heavens throngh the long voyages, but no one gave heed. Courts of law and Partinnents only riveted the chains tiehter, and the Churell, the Government, and the market waxed rich from the loathsome trafic, ‘Those who had strength to survive the voyages stepped out of the darknoss of tho slave-ship to tho Halt of day, but there was no release even then, ‘They passed from the cruelty of the English Captains to the no less horrible eruelties of the Spanish taskimasters, and thousands Upon thotsands more went to thelr graves, unable to endure their hor- rible treatment. ‘The lash, the brand. ing fron, the bloodhound, the hard Iubor under the blagind tropical sun, disease ond torture, and the continuous crueltles of the most eruel of tho civilized nations of tho earth, swept them away by droves; but En- glish enterprise and Industry were able to All thelr places with fresh vietims, In recent years, and sinec tho humanity of the world commenced to protest against the same traiie, ft was enrrled on more quictly, and when at last England was compelled to sus- pond it blacks were run off from onr own country, and, when negroes could no longer be precured, then the coolle trafle com- menced, which was still slavery, though in another form. At last this black chapter in the history of man’s inhumanity to man is closed, and the New Year opens upon more hopeful one, Divine Justlee sometimes moves slowly, but its Judgments ure fnevitable, ‘They come sooner or later, and no nation that lias been engaged In the slave trafe can hopo to eseape them, ‘They have alrendy fallen upon our own Iand, and they have reduced Spain to tho lowest position among the nations of Europe. The indignation of the world has rapidly followed the Diyine judgments, and has forced her to wipo out the most horrible stuin of the ages. Its memory will Inst through all tine, and future ages will re- gard it with horror, but it can never agaln he renewed, Tho last slave in the New World will soon bea freeman, aid with this incubus removed the world will recetya new impulses in Hs progress, Tim Republican members of the Ohio Leglstature have earned the gratitude of thelr party, of thelr State, and of thelr conn- try by the unanimity with whlch they have provided for the elvetlon of Gen.

It is posstblo that Judgo Thurman was tho ablest Democrat tn Ohio for the place he has filled for nearly twelve years, and it will hardly be questioned that Gen, Garfield |s the ablest and generally the best qualified Republican in the State of Ohio to succeed him, Gen, Garfield Is now o man of ripe ani varied experience in Nationul legts- lntion, He has earned the promotion by his long, able, and intelligent Inbors in the Hottso of Representatives.
