About twelve candidates, chlutly the former members, were dectared clected, there helng no opposition, Of these, six belong toeneh party. Among those of any prominence clouted are Mr. Forster of the London School Board; Mr. Kuatchbull-Iugessen, an author of some juyenito works; Mr, Sclater Booth, a momber of tho present Administration; and Mfr, David Plunkett, the “ Masquerading Imperiale fat,” who sits for Dubiin University. The small uumber returned without opposition shows how fiercely the battle Is being waged between the rival parties, ee! A Wasitnaton attorney writes to Tar ‘Tribune that a vigorous and impartial Investl- gation into the morits of the “ Vociter patent” for wood-pulp will reveal ‘some reasons for the success Of the paper-ring which ara not gen- erally understood. This pntont was renewed some threo yoars ago under clroumstances that are said to bave been suspicious, The renewal was unjustly ond oppressivoly projudicial to tho paper industrial interests of tho country, but seems to have enabled tho papormakers to transfor tho Imposition upon the consumers. A proposition to repeal the renownl of this patent Is inctuded ino bill recontly introduced Into the Senato by Senator Call, of Florida, and It is hoped that this will lend to 9 thorough exposl- tion of the whole matter. Tue Mayor's action on the appropriation ordinance will meot with the hearty approbation of the people of Chicago who do not depond for a living upon approprintions from tho City Treasury. The Mayor's’ theory concerning the surplus monoy in’the City Treasury is ominent- ly wise, and {t {is dldicult to understand how go many respeotable inembers of the Council could have been weak enotigh to vote any part thereof for current oxpouditures. Trp TRiuuNE hag at all times ndvoented and dofendod the preservation of all surplus revenue, in order to enablo the elty to mect its current expenditures with cash Instead of resorting to costly scrip, During the Inst year the Mayor and Controller have resolutoly defended this fund, and with its aid, ns 80 much cash, can saye this year perhaps ay much 15 $100,000 in the cost of the City Gov- ernment, Tho Mayor's voto of certain itema of the appropriations for schools was justifiad by tho oxcessive sums yoted by the Council, Tho Counall, however, included in thonew ordinance what the Sfayor bad votoed in the old one, but, this new ordinance being subjoct to a veto, the exaggerated uppropriution for school bufldings witl probably bo defonted. Tho time for com- ploting tho ordinance expires March 31. Uspnn the pretense of* favoring tho ro- inovalof tho tarlif on paper and the Ingredients used in its manufacture, the House Conimittes on Ways and Means bas agreed upon a bu ine cluding in {ts provisions not only papor, but all tho protected artivles having friends in Con- ress, tho object Ueing to so load down tho bill us to scoure the united opposition of the proteos tlontsts in the House, and thua sluughter in public what the Committee docs not duro to strangle in private, First the enemica of cheup information went through the farce of adopting by a voto of 8 to 3 a proposition to place on the freo list all manufactured papor, wood pulp, und alt bre and fibrous plants ft for use in tho manufacture of paper. It tho Committee bud been in earnest In the desire to cheapen paper it wowld have stopped right there and agreed upon a bill embodying this proposition; but th@ wns no such Intention, and tho, real animus of tho packed protectionist majority was shown by tho immediate adeption of an addi- Uonal chtuso providing for tho reduction tod0 per cent ad ralorem of the duty on chromo fron ore, funnels, blankets, wool hats, kult weods, balmoruls, woolow and worsted yarns, manufactured goods composed wholly or in part of worsted, and tho hair of the ulpuea goat and other Ike animals, Tho next atep will donbt- less Le toudd salt and steol rully to tho list of articles upon which to recommend 1 wholesale reduction of duty, and then to bring the bill bo- foro the House in such i whapo'us to wake sure of ita defont or postponumoent, —— THE LATEST DEMOCRATIC: STRATEGY, ‘The prospects for Mr. ‘Tilden's nomination by the Democrats scum tg grow worse every day. Io may: be as ambitions for. Prest- dential honors ns ever, and he may sueceed at Cineinnath when the Convention shall have actually assembled by the same peculiar methods he used to secure the St. Louls nomination in 1st, In the meuntine, how- aver, a more powerful opposition ts being organized against him than that which he encountered four years ago.’ When ho shall come to welgh this opposition againat his “barrel” onthe otherskte ofthe scale, ho may conclude that the St, Louis tactics will not win this year and: resolve not to waste his money, ‘The irreconellable attitude which Tam- many maintains ‘agajnst Tilden is by no tucans tho most formidable obstacle to his nomination, ‘Tammany would be powerless to defeat him In Convention if he hud the Democratle sentiment of tho country’ with him. In such case, indeod, the hostility of Tammany might operate to confirm lily” pretensions a8 © reformer, ‘Tho reSl trouble is that the Democracy seums to hove lost faith In ‘Tilden hot merely asa reformer,—the absence of which would not be very alarming to the Domocrats,—but as.a Wader, In tho first place, there ts a very general lmpreaston that ‘Tilden’s charscterasa politiclan has been sulrehed to adegree that witl be fatal to Democratic success In case he be nominated, ‘Phe history of the cipher dispatches will bo revived to the minutest «details, and the Dem- ocrats feel powerless to oxplain away tho transactions which had for their purpose the purchase of Returning Boards and Electoral votes In Oregon, South Carolina, and Florida, Mr. Tilden haa not been able as a private eltizen to frou himself from identification with the disreputable ciforts made on hig be- half, and there is a well-grounded fear that he would be still less successful in eseaping fron these damaging ciroumatances If hu were before tho peuple as a candidate, While Tilden was willing to futrigue for the Presidency, and of least was not hostile to the attempt to secure. the oflice for hin through bribery and corruption, he Incked the courage to maintain the elaim to the offlee which lls friends set up for him, anda Jorge factlon of the Dumocraty look upon him as a coward and au imbecile, on that ne- count, ‘This fecling has been especially tne Jurious to him in the South. Now that the thne for making the nomination Is ap | proaching, the objections to Mr. Tilden are more bluntly and emphatically stated than ever, The Louisville CourtersTqurnat. stants nimost alone. nnong the Southern news- papers in counseling and advocating his eandidacy; buts very few others adinit tho possibility of Ils nomfantion, and trim thelr aalls nceordingly; the bulk of the Southern sentiment takes the form of pronounced hostility. The statement has been industri- ously clrenintert through a few of the public prints and through o grout yariety of private ourees that, ff ‘Tilden bo nominated by the Democrats and Grant by the Republicans, the Intter would carry soveral Southern States. Tho Charleston Newa and Courter names Florida, Loulstana, ‘Texas, North Carolina, and Virginia as likely to go Republican Insuch a contligency, with A posalbility that South Caroling would also vote against ‘Tilden, ‘Thore is a disposition among som of tho tiore devuted adherents of the thftd-tenn movement to misconstrue theso Southern declarations against Tilden. They jump at the conclusion that both Grantand ‘Tilden will be nominated, and then exultingly nolnt to these occasfonal expressions of Southern preference for Grant over Tilden os suro signs'that Grant will reeetva a number of Eleotoral votes from the South, which will make his election sure. It fs perfectly clear, nevortheless, that the Southern manifesta- tions in question havo o totally dliferent micaning, They ate favorable to Grant only asaguinst Tilden. If tuey aro sincere, they could only be used san argument for Gen. Grant’s nomination after {¢ lind becomo certain that Tilden would bo the Demo- erntic candidate. But the Republicans will nominate before tho Democrats, If Gen, Grant be nominated nt Chicago, as the Southern Democrats believe and hope he will be, they will have prepared the way for defeating Tilden at Otnelrnati. That ts the purpose, und the ‘only purpose, of tho recent intimations of a Southern preference for Grant as against Tilden. ‘hero has never yet been a sign that Grant can secure nny Confedernte support, nor obtain 9. single Electoral vote from the South, in case the Democrats select any othor candidate than. Tilden, They are simply using Gen, Grant's naine, in the belief that he will bo tho Re- publican candidate, as the menns for {nsur- ing the defent of Tilden in tho Cinclunatt Convention. It is the defeat of Tilden for the nomination, and not the election of Gen. Grant, that the Southorn Domocrats nro working for. If Grant be nominated at Chi- cago, ‘Lilden will not be nominated at Cin- elnnatl; and the alleged Southern preference for the former over tho lattor will cut no figure in thecampatgn. The South will thon be ag solidly Demoeratic next fall os it was In 1878 and ns It Is to-day. It cannot be denied that the new Southern plan for opposing ‘Tilden Js. Ingenious, Its strategic purpose will bo doubly vindicated if it shall'succeed to the extent of misleading the Republicans of the North Into the false hope that Gon, Grant wiil bo able to carry any of the Southern States, In enso any such conyiction should gain ground, It would ma- terlally assist the third-term movement, and Gen, Grant’s nomination would> materially nasist the Southern Democrats in thelr effort to shelve ‘fiklen, In this manner the Dem- ocrnts wouldmake thelr enomics their stroug- vat allies before-the real battlo-bogins, Tobe relieved of ‘Tilden, and opposed only by the third-term movement and “the old crowd,” seems to bo the precise situation for which the Democrats are praying and intriguing, THE ENGLISH ELECTION. Tho English papers which have just come to hand are filled with articles upon the dis- solution of Parliament and tho forthcomlag election. Singling out two of the ropresenta- tive papers, the Pall Mall Guzette and the Spectator, the former’ representing the Tory yiéws and the latter the Liberal, a glance at their contents will glve our readers a very clear Impression of the condition of tho cam- pnign and of the issues Involved In It. The Gazette, In mnking its appeal to the English people, points. out the results that will ensue in case the Liberals are suceessttl, an of course from its standpoint the results are Hkely to be disastrous, It constders it to be’ certain that if u Liberal Government comes Into power it can only exist at the dis erctlon of the Irlsh members, and it must yleld to thelr demands, however exacting or outrageous they may be, 1t claims that the Liberal party has no hope of success except through the favor of the Irish party, led by such men ns Parnell and O'Donnell. Should it succeed, it foresees that tho English mem- bors of the party would bo divided into hostile factions, and that aa between the Liberals of the old school and the modern Radicals thore could be no compromise, 1n short, says the Gazette, “Every Liberal who yoles at the noxt election with intent to place his party in power will do so knowing beforehand that he 1s playing Mre Parnell’s gnne, and that the certain result of sucecss will be to give the control of his party to Home-Rulers and ant!-rent ngitators,—a eon- trol from which his chiefs will not be able to brenk except at tho cost of thelr existence as a Government.” The second polnt made by the Guzette—ond itis the same indicated by Beaconsfield In his recent declaratlon—is that a Liberal success will involve Europe in ngeneral war, It asswines that the Liberal party cannot return to power without pincing Mr. Gladstone at the head of the Govern- mont; that Panslavisin ts the force that more than oll others threatons the peace of Jiu- rope, and that he is a sympathizer with that force. It says: As ho sympathized four years ago with Pan- alavist dosigns against Turkey, vo to-day ho avowodly syinpathizes with Panslaviat hostility to Austria; and if in 1876 his vehoment encour- fiotuent gave the movement strongth to overe heur the resiatunce of the pone purty in Russel, 0 and thu reluctance of the Casr, much moro surely would It naw avail to, swee}] away those barriers if {ho absolute dircetion of Engilalt pol- Joy wore recommiltted to Mr, Gladstono's band. For, now aa thon, those barriers to Panslavista ure tho only ones In existence; and ony of thom, as wo cin well bellovo, fs soroly tricd nlrendy, ‘Tho Czur is under fur sIECHIRON, temptation fo plunge into warlike enterprises as win escape ‘rout domestic troubles In Iss than he was in Iidz and ie nmy need buts litte more impetus to be given to Pangluvist pressure in order to forco his bund, ‘This impetus, ft bolleves, Panslayisn would recelye at thehandsof a Liberal Cabinet, with Mr, Gladstone at {ta head, Russia would be hurricd Into war, this me against Austria, Italy would cortatnly take part In the strug gle, aud France and Gormany would probably be ubrotled, Royersing tho picture, the Issues of tho Liberal campalgn, as stated by the Spectator, do not contemplate any such disastrous Te sults. - On the other hand, the reforms prom- ised by tho party are yery cheerful In char- acter, ‘The Liberal loaders offor a higher place for England Ln the counells of Europe; an onlarged navy; an army released from the lash; n policy “either of frank accord or stil franker deflunce” with Russia; the on- franchisement of Grcece; the Mberation of ,the Christians of Southeastern Europe; tho pacification of Afghanistan, with its inde- pendence guaranteed by England and Russla; thorough reform in the administration of Indin; the reduction uf taxation; the grant to all householders of counties the political freedom enjoyed in boroughs; “to enfran- chise the land from the fetters of lujurlous customs aud obsolete laws, Ul afleld shall be U U sold as readily os a watch, and with Mitte more expense for transfer.’ ‘Tho Spectator sunis up the choice as follows: Tt fs for the country to choose between these progmma and these policies,—between proxperl- ty and honor, and unrest without dignity, bo~ tween tho old rtaternon who, by the continuous: Improvements of a hath a century, have mato Bngland what tt is, tho country to whieh all gs nen fn tho world look with admiration and on and tho tashy Oriental who offers it notorictyy and who has ‘in overs quarter of the world das atroyed ita reputation for faledeuting, unecif- iahuees, and respect for tho rights of the wenk, it has, in fact, to chooso between the party which offers it tho alliance of France, tho nifece {lon of all riding nationalitios, and the repute of the justest Power in the world, and the party which offers it the patronniee of Aurtrin—who, in her first battle, will need an English loon the cowerlng hatred of Turkey, and such renin us is obtained by tho demand for Cyprus and the transportation of our protected and humbically, Yakvuob Khia. At this distance from tho struggle it Is dit- ficult to see what there Is In the Liberal pro- grain that involyes a European war, or wherein it fs Inconsistent with the neace and gcneral prosperity of England, Every one of its Issues fs in the nature of reform, both in the domestic and foreign policy, while the Tory party offers nothing that fndicates any divergences from {ts past potley, which hrs kept England engaged tn foreign wars and bred discontent at Nome. ‘There 1s not a plank in the Liberal platform that does not call for reform, and reform always tends to make people happy and contented. Rollet from injustice and oppression never yet disturbed the peace of s country. Thero {s nothing which would soon- er pacify the Irish, for Instance, or sooner secure tholr willing support of the Government, than reform In the land Inws; and equally there {3 nothing which will as certainly keep up the general discontent and provoké the renewal of the present struggle ns the continuance of those Inws. From a ropublican standpolnt of view, there is no question which of the two great English parties commends itself to Ameriean sym- pathy. It will bo unwise, howevor, for Americans to expect success in the direction of their sympathy. ‘Tho wealth and strength of such on alliance as the Church, the landed aristocrncy, and the pitblicans cannot casily ‘be overcome, and there Is little room for hopo that a Iberal Government will be restored to power, howover, desirable their program may seem to us, ——d ‘Tre latest assortion by Secretary Sherman concerning. the imaginary assault upon his virtue by the editor of Tirm Tiiuuny, and the Intter’s thrent to “ruin? him If he did not refuse to excente the Resumption lav, 1s thus reported from Washington: y Beading along a little further, the Secretary road Medilt's remurk that tho luterview was im possiblo because he know Sherinan hid no power to nullify tho Resumption act; und, had ho wished to aecompilah that, he would have gone w tho President instead of tho Scoretary. ** Iie did goto the President,” exclaimed the Secro- tary; “ho tried to influence tho President, 18 well ng myself, to prevent tho Resumption act being curried Into ciféct; and the President with surprise repeated tho convorantion to mo." In this statement Mr. Sherman perhaps identifies the time of the interview, and per- haps furnishes the means ‘of proving tho treachery of his own memory on the subject, We have already stated that the only Inter- ylew Mr, Medill had with Mr. Sherman was a brief one, and, as remembered, a rather cold and formal one, about the time of the passage, or shortly beforo the veto, of the Silver bitl,—towards the close of February, 1878, After that bill had passed Congress, thore was much uncertainty 13 to whother the President would approve or veto ft. There werg numerous callers on tho President from New York and other Eastern clties, urging the President to.yveto the Dit. While the Dill was in the hands tho President, he kindly appointe an evening at his private oMce,: to which he fuvitedthe editor of Tun Trinenr, tohear what the Intter had to sny why the billshowld not be vetoed. At that Interview, Mr. Medilt presented his views orally, and also read a summary of his “points” in favor of re- monetizing silver. At the conclusion of tho conversation, at the President’s request this paper was left with him; and, if it has not been destroyed, it can be produced, and will . show tho exuct subject on which that conver: sation took place, i Mr. Sherman hog Identified thee@ubject of the interviews by Mr. Medill with himself and the President ns relating to one subject, —ndemand on them for tho nulliflention of tho Resumption Invi A memorandum of the “conversation with tho President Is, or was, !n the hands of the President; and the Secretary possibly, on application, ean obtain. It, and publish it. ‘That will establish whether he Is right or wrong in his recollec- tlon, The time and clreumstances pending tho action of the President on tho Silver bill, then in his hands, and the engrossing in- terest on that subject at that time, render It rathor Improbable that the editor of Tin ‘Tninoyg, Who was & warm supporter of tho Silver bill, should have ignored that subject and sought to bulldoze, threaten, Intimidate, and coerce the President and Secretary into a wullification of the Resumption law, which wns already practleally in operation, and which Tu Ciicago Trsune was stendily supporting, aid urging the, remonetization of sliver a8 & menns of making specie-pay- ments ensy, successful, and permanent, ‘That is the record Lane navigation may be said to bd practi- cally open for tho souson, The Straits uro elenr, And vossela aro loading and proparing to nil from Chicago.
