The Military Committeo havo agreed to report, the followingamendment, which js In the spirit of the sixth section of tho Army bill of Inst yeur, and which then failed, that “No money appropriated in this net is Appropriated or sball be pald for subsistence, equipment, transportation, or compensation of the United Btates army to bo used ns a police force to keep the pence at the polls at any election held within any State." The moderate Demoerats have been successful thus far in keeping the flery spirits in check, but, ns will appear from the amendment quoted, they haye at Inst broken Joose, and we may expect a repetition of tho policy of the extra session, and its utter failure also, Tne Liberal gains yesterday’ place. the success of that party beyond doubt, Even the Standart and Patt Mail Gazette, Jingo organs, acknowledge the defeat of thelr party. The former says that it is now only a question whether tho Liberal party will secure such a majority ns will enable ft to take office with a reasonable prospect of carrying on the business of the country satisfactorily. This is a refer- ence to the attitude of the Home-Rulers, who, inall probability, will hold tho batance of power botween the two English parties. Among the candldates who were elected yeaterduy are Mr. Gindstono from Leeds, Nr. Forster from Brad- ford, and Mr, Arthur Arnold from Balford. Sir Robert Pecl, who once flyured prominently in politics, bus whose only cluins te publicyatten- tion for some yoars back have been his eccen- tricitics, was amony tho Tory alnin yesterday. Tne: bill providing for the appropriation of funds to pay United States Marshals and thelr Deputies for services rendered nearly a yeur ago, and whieh the Bourbon mujority re- iused to pass nt the oxtra session, was yesterday passed iu the Sonate by a strict purty vote, and now only necds the President's signature to be- cone a law, The only specch mado on the Hepublican side was that of Benator Ed- munds, and. it was ono of the best among tho many excellent speeches which that eminent statesman hus delivered from his place in the Senate, It wus a grave and earnest protest against tho Demoecratia plot to nullify the Election laws by tho nttachment of 1 partisan ‘rider to an approprintion bill, and hy forbidding the arrest of any person on election- day to prepare for a carnival of riot, fraud, and intimidation at the polls in loealitics where tho Stato ‘authoritics are in full sympathy with bull- dozers and bullot-box stuffers, Paunons ware issued by President Hayes in favor of Wiltlum 8, Golsen und John W, Gregg, convicted, sentenced, aud Imprisoned in the County Jail for embezzling the funds of the Money-Order Department of tho Chicago Post- Ollice.

Executive clemency wasobtalned in those cases only after long and detorinined offort, the uppilention for pardon boing xtrenuously opposed by tha Postmaster- General, the Attorney-General, tho Chicf of tho Monoy-Order Division of the Post-Opice Depart- ment, the United States District-Attorney’ and the Yostmaster in Chicuro. NOMINATING BY COMPIIMENTARY" VOTES. ‘The present hope of tho third-termers is that their candidate will be noininated by whut is usually ealled a “complimentary” yote, ‘This term implies ordinarily the east- Ing of certain ballots in a Convention for n Joen! favorit without expectation, and fre- quently without any {ntention, that the per- son thas complimented shall recelye tho nomination, It Is a vote that some one ward gives for one of its citizens ina municipal Convention, or some ono county fora par- tleular candidate In a State Convention, or some ono State for its “favorit son” Inn National Convention, Such a vote us Gov, Uartranft recelved from the Pennsylvania delegation In 18%, and Mr, Conkling from the New York delegation, without the hope or expectation of nominating either, was on “complimentary” vote, The manngers of the third-term movement design togive Gen. Grant's “ complimentary” votes the potency of abona fide nomination, a ‘Thora has been n yigorous protest in Now York and Pennsylvania agninst the instruc- tions of the State Conventions in fayorof n third term, It {s known that the delegations Trom those two important States ure serious- ly divided and represent.o diversity of opinion as to tho eholco of a Prestdentlal candidate, A very considerable proportion of the delegutes from both States—nearly half, [i point of fact~will como to Chicago personally hostile to a third term, and they can only fairly express tho senti- nientsof thelrconstituentsby voting forsume other candidate, ‘Ihe same will be true ot tho Iitnols delegati@, How far the Illmnols Conyoution will go in the way of instructions wil depend upon the atrength which the third-term managers shall develop, but It Is not at all uniikely that tho outcome will be niuch the same as in Now York and Pennayl- vehia, It is certain that, ifthe Ilinols man- agers of the third-term movement shall carry matters with the same hgh hand as their Now York and Pennsylvania associates, there will be just as decided a protest In this State asin elther of the other States ugalnst thelr domination, and the proportion of UMnols delegates to the Natlonal Convention Topresenting antl-third-term constltuencles will by fully as large. Nevertheless there will not be oneamong those delegates who would not gladly concur jn a “complimentary” yote to Cen. Grant, if dealxned in good falth to recognize his em{nent position before tho world a4 8 great warrlor and the strong hold Ne has personally upon the respect and ntfec- tions of the people of fils own State for his uillitary wervices. All the delegutes from New York and Pennsylvania, though por- Laps nearly one-half the nuinbor be opposed ton third term, and though a still larger pro- portion represent constituents who belleve Gen. Grant cannot safely be nominated, will nevertheless willingly Jou in 8 “compll- mentary” vote for him, alika to testify tho puod will the people bear him and to comply in appearance with the nominal Instructions of. their State Conventions, ‘ If it be assumed that the New York, Penn- sylvanin, and Itlinols delegations deciae to give Gen. Grant a unanimous vote on the first ballot as a “compliment,” it is not Im- possible that such n proceeding may result in strangling all effective opposition from the antl-third-termers from those and all other States. The hopelesly Democratic Southern States, It may be safely assumed, will semt delegates for the most part favorabla to Gen, Grant’s nomination, Sherman, the con- tractionist, will te practically out of "the field before the meeting uf the Convention. Tho political Snfluences In the South aro generally favorable to Gen. Grant. A very large proportion of tha Republican office holders were appointed in Gen. Grant's term, for President Mayes has made compnratively few changes. Gratitude, which . usually means tho hope of future’ preferment to officeholders, witl prompt them to support the third-term move- ment. ‘Che negro voters of tho South, who understand Httle of the value of a historteat precedent (which {s really the Constitution pt England), are naturnily Inclined to pier the man whom they regard as the hero of the war for thelr emancipation over all other candidates, The Democrats of tho South, too, who purpose Influencing the Republican delegations from that sectloti, desire Grant nominated ns the surest way to prevent tho nomtnation of Tilden, When to these condf- tlonsis added tho force of tho promised “comptimentary” votes of three of the great Northern States, the interests of the Southern politiciays will incline them more than ever to the third-term movement. Suppose, in the call of States in tho Chica- go Convention, Alabama shall Jead off with twenty votes far Grant, and Arkansas follow with twelve yotes for a third-term? jThebalt will thus have ben started fn- motion, ‘The third-term crowd will have worked upa great outside elaque, ‘Then follow California, Colorado, and Conneeticut, whose votes will abate the ttird-terny prestige to some extent. But the “enthusiasm ” will probably be revived by Delaware, Florida, and Georgia, if those States shall yote solidly for Grant. Then Ulnots will be called. 1fthis State cast its forty-two votes for Grant, even in the understanding that the solid State vote be “ complimentary,” the third-term tuovernent will recelye an impulse that will be almost Irrepressible, The crowd, which the man- agers will take good care to make up of ma- china material, will yell, and stamp, and pound, and the Impression will spread Ike contagion that Grant Is the coming man. ‘Tho machine-men have already shown their capn- Dillties In the way of hurrahing, The solld “complimentary” Iifnols vote will chill and senre tho timid men everywhere who nro simply doubtful about the third-term polley. The Blaine men: in Kansas, and Iowa, and Michigan witl begin to Jose heart, Then, too, more rotten-borough Southern States, that will vote overwhelmingly for a, Democrat in any cnse, will help swell the third-term. flood, And so the boom will grow by accre- tlon, until the seventy votes of New York and the fifty-eight votes of Pennsylvania, solld by “compliment,” for “ono ballot,” will carry the Convention off its feet, and thus make tho nomination sure. eee ‘This ts what may be brought about in Gen. Grnnt’s case by “ conpliinentary” votes Ina Convention which may be two-thirds op- poseil to a third term and believe that a can- didate running on such an issue cannot be elected. Events may Intervene to change tho current, or a proper apprehension of the poastbilittes wo have outlined may induce the antl-third-termers in the Now York, Pennsylvania, and Llinois delegations to re- fuse thelr assent tos “ complimentary ” vote which Is designed to' betray them and the peoplo they represent. «Dut if Grant be nominated, as he may be, in the manner we have indlented, It will be a curlous illustra- tion of the devious ways of American pollttes that so frequently bring men to the front in spite of opposition that might be effective In the absence of machine influences, It nay bo that tho ‘antl-third-term sentiment wilt have a large mafority inthe Chicago Conven- tion, and ybt be snuffed out by the ngency of “complimentary” vote * RECONCILIATION OF GERMANY AND THE VATICAN. ‘The difference between tho lberaltsn of Leo XUf and the conservatism of Plus 1X, is shown by the step which the former has taken In tho solution of the questions at Issue between Germany and the Vatican. Tho lntter regarded Kings and statesmen as ab- solute vassals of Rome, and demanded com- plete independence for the Church in Prus- sin. Henes he would never concede the volnt that the Government could interfere In any way in ecclesiastical matters, however much they might contlict with the State, Consequently when the Government; pro- voked at tho actlon of the Vatican, passed the famons Fall Jaws for its defenso agalnst ecclestastical encruachinents, an ine surmowitable barrler was ralsod agulnst reconciliation, Ills successor las shown a different spirit In his conception of the rela- tions between Church and State, and has manifested a disposition to contine himself to hisown province, and to nsk the State to assent to the oxereise of his prerogatives. ‘Thls gratifylng departure i the polley of: the Vatican Is shown {na letter recently ad- dressed by the Popo to Dr, Paulus Meulehers, tho Archbishop of Cologne, In answer, to a commentary by the latter on tha Papal on- eyelleal touching Soelalism, After setting forth tho Importance of a better knowledge and observance of Diving laws for saving na- Hons, his desire for the largest degree of freedom to tho Church, so that It may pro- claim Its doctrines to tho people, and his wlahes for the happtuess and prosperity of Germany, he says: “Gradually, and little by little, hollow susplelon and its invarluble Accompaniment, unrighteous envy towards tho Church, will cease, and the chiefs of the State, Jooking at facts ina favorable and ap- preefatlye light, will enally come ta seo that we do not interfere with the rlghts of others, and that between the eccleslistieal und pollt- jeal powers a lusting understanding may ‘ex- ist! provided only there dovs not fall on both, sides the will nid the Inclination to maintain peace, or, SE need be, to restore It." Bhis is the Mrst hnportant cbneession made tn the polley of the Church, slueu Plus EX. had nelthor the will nor the Inclination to main- taln peace or restore It, IIs pulley was one of enmity towards the Stato so long as the State presuined to question any of the acts of the Church, even those which were hostile to st.

Far fron. the mutual walvers losing their finporrances from tho futiity of the pretensions abandoned on either al tho certainty that nothing ta given up which it hes ever been of the Ienst ndynne tne to preserve is the most solid security for the permiunence of peace, When the combatants have shaken hands together and find that they have been auarreling over shadows Instend of sub stance, they will bo all the better prepared to move on in their respective courses without interference or clashing, The consummna- tlon ts.as desirable in the Interests of peace “ns itis in those of German unity, for when this pence {3 "caneluded no further barrier remains against the Intter, It was the one work left for Dismarek to accomplish in his Brent work of consolidation, and, this accom- plished, ho might well retire satisfied with hls success, THE HISTORY OF A MACHINE ORGAN. ‘The final victory of Mr, Charles A. Dana over his former newspaper partners In Til nols, by the enforced payment of a judg. ment in bis favor for $10,388,08and the trans- ferof tho litigation from tho victimized stock- holders to Gov. Cullom, who was also stockholder In the newspaper enterprise, 15, defendant, furnishes the ocenston for a brief sermon on nowspaper enterprises gencrally, and “machine organs” especially. Tn 1804 and 65 ‘Tux Ciucago Tune re- fused, ag it had always done previously, and has dono ever since, to be a personal or “ina- chine” organ. It refused to acknowledge any allegiance to any person, or cllque, or faction; it refused to be the mero mouth- piece through which any mancould trumpet his own praise; it refused to bothe instrument on which any man, or ring, or confederacy, or gang of jobbers could play and perform any tuno which commended Itself to thelr profit and the publie’s loss. It refused to he the conduit or the escape-plpe through which any corrupt or scheming gangs could vent thelr destructive polsons and dishonest ap- peals, Hence, inthe winter of 1804-5 there was a gathering of tho corruptiontsts of 1M- nols at Springfield, and it was then and there deelded to establish an “organ”? in Cliicazo and destroy Tun Tniwens, Tho linndsome sum of $500,000 was subscribed and 20 per cent cash was paid down, and in April, 1665, the paper was called into existence. In order to givo the “organ” dclat it was decided to employ n first-class editor, ono of National reputation, Numerays persons were canvassed, among athers Theodore 'Til- ton, tho result of which, however, was tho choico of Mr. Charles A. Dana, of New York, though possibly Theodore would have been abetler manJn his place. This gentleman wns to be paid a salary of $7,500 (large for that timo in Chicago) and was to be pro- sented with $100,004 of tho capltnl stock, sub- Jectonly to the 20 per cent Installment of cash, Mr. Dana promptly “pald” the cash Installment by glylng hils ngte, secured by a deposit of the stock for Unnt sum. It is unnecessary to relate tho subsequent proceedings fn detail, Somehow or other ‘Tie Tartnune didn’t fall In the least; 1b was not broken down; tho rings and the ‘cliques at tho State Capital waited anxiously and hopefully to be Informed that Tins ‘Tune had suspended Issue, but the news hung fire somewhere on the roud, The paper con- tinned to be published, and people bought and read it, and {ts earnings seemed to bo undiminished, nothwithstanding the now“ organ” was printed in Chiengo, ‘The or- gan itself did not progress, though It had Jeglon of godfathers, Including all the men who over had or whoever expected to fatten on tho spoils at Springtield, All tho men Who had tasted public plunder during tho War in the shapa of army contracts, cotton snuggling, aud othor spolls,and whose gains inelted in them hopes of future distinction,— all worked for the new paper, which was to commaud the Northwest and dictate Ite patronage. ‘fhe spring, the summer, and part of tho winter passed aay, and tho $100,000 ensh was nearly exhausted.

In. Kansns, the same action wus taken In the Interest of Senator Blaine; and to make the instruetions still more binding the ten delegates wero appointed on a general ticket by vote of the whole Convention, There Is practically no dliference between the Now-York and Penn- sylvania plan and the Kansas plan, ‘Though the Congressional ‘dlstriets in New York and Pennsylvania were awarded the empty honor of nanitng thefr own delegates, the free will of those delegates was stifled and suppressed by an fronelad vote of Instructions. The Kansas Republicans, with more reason and logic on their side, named delegates te whom the Instructions will not be distasteful, but who can vote for James G, Blaine at Clileago because he ts their first choice. If delegates are In honor bound to obey tho instructions of thoir State Conventions, as the mnchine- politicians of New York and Pennsylvania assert, how much more merelfnl and wise It must be to appoint delegates to whom the carrylng out of those Instructions will be a Joy nnd u delightt ld : ‘The friends of Mr. Blaine in Kansas would not haye departed from the usages of the party In that State ff they hnd not felt that strong mensures were needed to defeat tha plans of the schemers In tho East, Such a thing as tho eleeflon of delegates an a gen- eral tleket was never known before. It would not be known now but for the Inso- Jent attempt of » fow- Enstern manngers to forestall the action of the Republican party by holding packed conventions in midwinter and crowding through unit rules, If tt is proper to bind delegates In ono State, It fs just o8 propor.to bind them in another; and It 1s Immaterial whether tho preferences of Congresslonal [districts are nullified by the unit rule or by the choles of delegates on s general ticket, ‘Tho’ Kansas Republicans seem to belicve—and with good renson too —that ft will not do to fighton the defensive, ‘They cannot permit Blaine districts to be represented for Grant in the East, and allow. the fullest Mberty ‘of action to minorities hn tho West. Minority representation to bo falr nt all must be applied impartially in all the States. ‘WASHINGTON COUNTY DENT. In another column will bofound a Trm- une special from Nashville, Ul, of moro than passing Importance. It recites nnothor ond of those flagrant ylolations of public fajth so Intely aud frequently condemned by tho Courts, Briefly stated, tho subject is this: In 1870 the people of Washington County Issued $200,000 of bonds to pay for a like amount of stock In the St. Louis & Sonthenstern Ratlway Company, Tho Com- pany ut once put Washington, County in rect rail communication witht St Louls, distant fifty miles, ‘Tho bonds were taken down East, and, upon the correct representa- tions of tho Company's agupt that Washington County was one of tho. fairest agri- cultural districts In the State, that ft was ono of the Jargest wheat-growlng counties in INMtnols, that ft had no local debt, and that the nasessorl yalue of its taxable property ag- greguted $5,000,000, the bonds reallly sold at 00 cents on the dollar, with7 per cont interest toacerue anda porlud of twenty years to run. ‘Tho Rallwny Company not only gave Washington County a cheap and. original outlet forits produce toSt.Louls, but also oxtended its line to Evansville, Ind., giving valunblo Enstern and Suuthorn con- neehons, Large flouring-mills and elovators have been erceted along the Iino of the rall- way In Washington County, adding to. the wealth and population, and: farm-lands have materially luereased In value. © Tho Interest .on theso bonds has been reg. ularly paid until this year, Now, however, the County Board refuses to pay any more Interest, and demands that the bonds shall be surrendered and canceled nt the rate of 75 cents on the dollar, There ts no pretense or allegution on tho part of tho County Board thint the Ruilway Company failed in any par tleular to fulfill its contract. On tho con- trary, It is admitted that the Company has been reasonable in its trafita charges and prompt In doing business, But, individual- ly, the Bourd secks to reyiya the very slagn- Tat positon once assumed by President Joline song that when Intercat on a bond equal to Ats fee value had-boon pald, thon the princi pal shout be enneeled, Wo hope, for the fale faino of one of our richest agricultural countles, that its County Board will assume no such reprehensible and indefensible po- sition, It would be n disgrace, not only to Its people, bug to the State, ‘Lhe dobt Is an honorable and Just ope, and should be pald, principal and interest, Posttive aud aggresslye action lathe only hope of any candidate that has gone into this canvass to stay, Mr, Blalno'y frionds jn Kan- sag have taken such uctlon and succoeded, At the same time we have no doubt thoy -stand ready to surrender tho temporary od- yaninge they hayo gained {f Senators Conk- Ang and Cameron will do the same. ‘They will permit. two yotes from the Grant district to be cast for a third term If Com- oron, of Pennsylvania, will permit the Blaine. delegates to'enst the twenty yotes, and Conk- ling, of Now York, the twenty-five or thirty yotes, ta which Mr. Blutno 1a Juatly entitled. But If no assurance ts given of liberty of aetlon to Congressional districts in the Eqst, there will be noue In many States In tho West. The example of Kanyas will be fol- lowed either by the adoption of the unit rule or hy the election of delegates on a general ticket by othor strong laine States; and in tho ond the trick of the managers in Penn- aylvania and New York inay cost them more than it gains for them. Contesting detegn- tions itt any ease will stand on tho saine foot- Ang, ond if those from the West are admitted for Grant, those from the East mustbaadmit- ted for Blaine, ‘Ono other lesson fs to be derived: from tho action of tho Kansans Convention, Gon Grant has always been yery strong in that State. Ho had limmense majorities In 1808 and 1873, If he were able to come before the people again asa candidnte fora second In stead of a third term, he would meet with prnetleally no opposition In the nominating Convention or elsewhere, All tho faults of Ils two Administrations might be crowded Into one, and stilt the people of Kansas, re- membering his great military services to the Republic, would be for him almost unant- mously, But they are not for him as aenn- diate for honors which no American has over before nsked the people to confer. Thoy are not for himas one worthy of that which Washington, Jefferson, Mudison, Jackson, Monroe, and Lincoln did not aspire to. ‘Tho Kansas Convention, by a Inrger yote than was obtained for the third term elther in the New York or the Pennsylvania Convention, emphatleally refused to be a party to tho ar- rangement, And Kansas Ins always been true to the Republican party, even when New York and Pennsylvania have not been, ‘The strong hold that Mr. Blaine has on the affections of the people was well Hlustrated In this Kansas Convention, ‘The galleries tn this case, us In New York and Pennsylvania, were ull for Blaine, “Nothing could repress tho enthusiasm of the spectators, In all three Conventions they were bound to be heard, and always on the same side. What does this mean If not that the rank and file of (he party, the young men and those who have yet thelr nark to make us uinnaging politicians, are In favor of Senntor Blaine as against the third term? Ir was ox-Senator Wadletgh, of New TInmpshire, that engineered an extension of tho Voolter patent woorl-pulp monopoly through Congress on the fight of March 3, 1877, as that body wag on the eve of adjourn- ment. Henccomplished this by conecaling | the nature of the bill from the members. ‘The Innocent little bit had @ ttle that indl- ented that it was perfectly harintess, and not ameinber knew what he was voting for or consenting to when Wadleigh’s rasenlly trick was played on the Senate except lily confed- erates, In thls way tho wood-pulp-patent monopoly was extended for seven years. ‘The holders of it had already fattencd off of the publishers for fourteen years, but, not | xatisfled, wanted seven years’ more suckage, of which they already have enjoyed three. ‘The clear profits of this corrupt and fraudu- Jently extended monopoly are said to execed a nillion a year, of which plunder Warner Miller of New York and W. A. Russell of Massachusetts, monibers of Congress, are pocketing about $300,000 per annum. Frye, of Maine, is the hired attor- ney of the fraudulent patent for the monono- Itsts in his State. His chief business on the ‘Ways and Means Committee and in Congress appears to be to defend and protect this fraudulent wood-pulp monopoly. *Senato bill Nu. 1,401, recently introduced by Senator Cnil, of Florida, proposes a repeal of tho fraudulent “ Voelter patent” (Vulture, ié should bo called), and the press shoukl turn thelr attention to this matter, ‘The extension of the patent, as stated, was snenked through Congress in its closing hours March 9, 187, undera deceptive title, and was signed by Gen, Grant just as his tarm was expiring, A. Dill passed under such clreumstances should be repealed, and the authors of the trick held up to scorn and condemnation, —_—_—— Tim Greenback vote haa becn steadily dwindling during tho Inst fow years.

In Ponnsylvants tho organization is still In excel- lent condition, but tha votes have disappoared tongreat extent. In 1877 the new party polled 52,864 votes In Pennsylvania for State Treasurer; in 1878 it gavo 81,458 to its candidate for Governor; and in 1879 it marshaled only 27,207 for its Btato ticket.
