Tho people of England aro determined to show some of the Whig politivinns that they regard Mr, Gladstone as tho leader of English public opinion, and’ to plainly intimate that noothor member of tho party will sutiaty thom 1g leador of the House of Commons. Tho Whigs are sorely perplexed, Thoy do not wish Mr, Ghidstono ws Premier, and he won't have anything toss, and they are afraid of his presence ,| in the House of Commons as a private member. It ig rumored, also, that Boaconsiield will advise tho Queon to cull on Gladstone to fori a Minis- try. THE World, a London paper whieh retails social and political gossip, suys the Queen will bo advised by Disrnel! to. crentu a new Imperiul order of merit for clviliang, to reward several supporters of tho Inte Government with honors of varlous kinda, nnd to consolo defented Tory members for tholr discomfltura by ratsing thom tothe Peernge. Among the appointments pre- dicted aro tho Marquis of Ripon to the Lord Tlentenantey of Ireland, and the O'Connor Don totho Bcorctaryship, Tho latter gentleman is being opposed by a Parneliito in Roscommon, and will: probably be defeated, and the new Premfer will hayo to fall back on Bir, Shaw Lefevre, a much moro rudical gentleman, Btn, Ronert Lowe, who, though a pro- fessing Liberal, has always opposed mansures favoring an extension of tho franchise in En+ wland, scoing thatthe Liborals oun do without hisald, and perhaps fenring that ho muy not find aplacein tha next Cubinct, promises to adapt his courso to the policy of bia party on all quostions. He voted against Mr. Trevelyan's mensure to equalize the county and the bor- ough franchiso Inst yoar, nnd hischango of frontia romurkable, to say tho least. Thero is no doubt that ono of tho first meusuros which the now Ministry will bring for- ward will bo one to largely extend tho frunchise in England, ond espeelully in Bcotland and Ireland, A rodistribution of soute in accordance with population will cer- talnly be mudo before the oxpiration of the noxt Parltament.

No onecould end it so effectually as himself. The revent disclosures in Congress show him and his confederates to’ be infamous, ‘Tp accomplish a vile and dlscreditabio ob- ject they resorted to moans so crim{nal and detestable as to excite the scorn of all honorable men.‘ ‘The. parties directly in- volved In the conspiracy to stoal's Congress- man aro Donnelly, Finley, and probably Julian, and possibly Manning. ‘Io accom- plish this object they sought to bulldoze Springer, the Chalrman of the Elections Com- iuittee, and eome of them sent him an anony- nous letter, purporting to be from a Kepub- lican, offering him a bribe to support Wash- burn, the sitting member, ‘Ihe fathomless infany of Donnelly was showu when, after being a party to souding the letter, he went to Springer to offer his ati bn finding out who sunt if, and Inthonted that It was “Mr, Johns son, the private seeretary of Washburn,” or “TS King, of Minneapolis, who hid lately } toon fh Washington,” * ‘Tho exposure of the conspiracy to turn ont & Republican Congressinan elected by more thn 3,000 majority, and put In his piace a corrupt binckguatd cast out by the people of his district, shows thd fegradation and faws lesnesy’ of the partida. concerned, Mr. Springer, asa member of the Committes or Elections, hns shown hinself heretofore ny ant oxtrome partisan, and,has committed acts which cannot bo justified, But when nt last he found himself confronting this unpar- alleled outrage of, senting Donnelly, ho res yolted In the faco of ‘all th\ surrounding ine fluences and refused to sidmit to it, For that manly act ho hitcurred the hatred of the Donnellyites on the Committer, especinity Manning, who all through the business has: been the more echo of the Ignoble Donnelly. But what must amaze the Amoriean people Ia that Donnelly’s tool, Manning, got: three other Democrats of the Committeo to join with hint in his attempt to steal tle seat for Donnelly, It {s almost too incredIbie for bellef that evon four Democratic members of the Honse could be found who were bnsé enough and bold cnongh to perpetrate one of tho grentest erimes over set down in the records of the House, Let us eharitably sup pose that they are the only men among the Democratte members of the House who could possibly have tent themselves, even under the pressure of “our friend {un New York,” exercised by the disreputable Finley, to such a shameless infamy, itis unfortunate for Springer that he wn- dertook to compromise by voting to upsent Washburn, while not seating Domelly. Wo the conspirators, particularly Donnelly, Til- tlen, Fintey & Co,, that was the Inst: thing thoy desired. The object sought was by tha fores of numbers to put Donnelly In, To declare. the oflice vacant was to have Wash- burn sent back by 8,000 to 10,000 majority. Therefore the Donnelly gang at Washing- ton gave Springer no. thanks; on the ccn- trary, thoy have attempted In a cowardly manner to destroy him, . It 1s safe to say that Donnelly has no further interest !n the matter; disgriced be- yond redemption, he would not have Wash- burn unseated if he could, for a new elec- tion would show that no party, however des- perate, would davo to propose lim as a can- diate, If a candidate, no respectable man woul vote for him. ‘Lhe Democrats of tho St. Paul district who were foreed Into yot- ing for him two years ago can now * hold the mirror up to nature” and see themselves as others sce them supporting and voting for aman who in thelr inmost souls they ab- horred, and who has now brought upon them this new and burning disgrace, As to Donnelly himself, It would be well for him to leave Washington at the’ enriiest possible moment. Its presence there at the theatre of his crime, he must know, is an offense to tha entire people, and tho sooner ho disappears from public view and hides himself from the sight of men the better it will be. Se ehh THE PAPER TAX IN CONGRESS, ‘The House of Representatives on Monday were brought to a direct. vote on the bill to repeal the taxes on snit, printing-type, print- ing-paper, aud on ali tho materinis used in the manufacture of printing-paper, ‘The bill being in the possession of the Committee on Ways and Means, it-required a two-thirds vote to pass it, As on all other questions on the subject of abolishing taxes, the three Chicngo members were a unt In favor of maintalning the op pressive exaction. « : ‘Tho members from the Northwestern States voting for the bill—to repeal the tax— und those voting against the bill—to continue the tax—were as follows: POR THE BIL.

No more seandalous votes have been given in Congress for years than those given against this bill. ‘The duties on paper and type and printing- Paper, and tho inaterial for printing-paper, are purely in the nature of bounties or pen- sions to persons holding patents and operat- ing paper-making machinery. The taxes are not levied for revenue, because no revenue ls collected thorofrom. ‘The taxes are not levied tw protuct American labor,” because labor is but a trifling item In the cost of. producing paper, Tho tax lovied fs a clear case of spo~ celal bounty by Congress to the manufactur. ers, If Congress were to levy n direct tax upon the country to enable the Secretary of the 'Trensury to pay a, speetn) bounty to all paper-smanufacturcrs equal to 23 per cont on the value of tha paper produced by thom, the robbery could not be more flagrant than that perpetrated undor the present law. THE TRUR INWARDNESS OF IT. ‘The Inmedinte-Transportation bill, known as tho Wilson Compromise,” passed the Na» tional House of Representatives under a eus- bonslon of the rules, without a dissenting volce, on Monday lust. {t now goes to the Sonate, whore It will also probably pass with- out serious if suy opposition. The measure does not cover afl the reasonable demands of interior importers, but itis a conafderable step towards the finn) and to be attained,— the exact oquality in rights and privileges of the Interior importer with his rival at the const port. 1. Itadmits to the right of im- mediate transportation wines and distilled spirits, perishable articles, express packages, and certain articles [1 bulk, ag “pig-tron, splegel tron, tron ore, railroad fron, nnd simi- lor articles commonly transported upon plat- form or flat cara’? 4 It repeals the oxisting law requiring the tnterlor importer to give bond at the'conat port ino penal sum of ‘at ‘least doublo the, tnvolee vatue of tho merchandise witly fhe duties added, 8, It relleves the interlir tmporter of the serloug annoyance of making oath to his pro Jorma entry at the const port, os he ls com- polled to do by the existing law, 'Thege aro important modifications of tho Inw of 1870, ag Iniportera’ will readily understand, and they cover eyorything of conseqnoneg asker for by the framer of the original Aldrich bill, except the entire abrogation of the re- quirement for pro fornug gupsy at the const port Pending the controversy, oyer this polut, the iinporters of Chiengu . telegraphed Mr, John G, Wilson, who represented them in Washington,"to “concede nothing,” aud THE CHICAGO TRIBUN DNESDAY, APRIL 7%, 1880—TWILVE PAGES.

Collector Sanborn, of that port, employs ns many subordinates to do the work as the Col- lector of Chiengo does to collect $2,000,000! Of the forty-five men employed at Port IMu- ron, atleast thirty of them are engnged in making a record of the I-T. bond merehan- dlse which passes through that port, as re- |; auired by tho law of 1870. If the entry fent- ure of that law ts repealed, oxplains Mr. Con- ger, how shall L account for the employment of forty-five men In the colluction of $100,000 per annum in dutles? This question was a poser to the great objector, and Mr. Conger flew to the arms of the opposition. Mr. Wil- son foresaw that the opposition of Mr, Con- ger, based on patronage, would prove fatal to the bill; for a8 soon as he had been ap- parently converted to the support of It he waa placed on the Sub-Committee with Mr. Morrison, where te hod the power to prevent a favorable roport, and so to bury the bill in the general Committee past resurrection, Mr. Wilson saw that it was compromise or nothing, aud he promptly signified his pur- pose. to accept half a Jonf rather than have no bread, What tho interlor importers will have gained upon the passage by the Senate of the Wilson compromise DIL they will never lose, The lvgistation will be a long step In advance; -and from the vantage ground thus secured it will be easter to take the next step,—the abrogation of the const- port entry feature of the pending Dill. INDIANA CONSTITUTION. Af the ofection fu Indiana on Monday Inst seven {mportant timendiments: to the Constl- tution of that State were, submitted to the people for approval or rejection. Ning amendments wera originally proposed, but Nos, 7 and 8, having fulled to be submitted by the Legislature, were not voted on. ‘Those amendments yoted on provite: 1, That at all elections all mate citizens 21 years of nye and upwards, whe shall have re- sided In the State six months, townsh{p sixty days, and fina preefnet thirty days provious to the election, and every male of foretgn birth, 21 years and upwards, who shall have realied In the Untted States one year, in the State six months, township sixty days, and precinct thirty tlays preceding the election, aml shall have declared his intention to be- come a citizen of the United States, shall be entitled to yote, if registered according to law. Under the present Constitution no fixed pertod of residence fs required In any township or preclnet, and the amendinent Is dlesigned to prevent importation or colonizn- tion of yoters, 2, The second amendment provides for striking out of the present Constitution tho words, “No negro or mulatto shall have the right of suffrage.” These words aro now In- operative beenuse superseded by the Fit- teeuth Amendinent tothe Constitution of the United States, “8, The third amendment provides that all general elections shall be held in November, instend of In October of each year, 1s now, 4.The fourth amendment Is to strike the word “ white” from the present Constitution as 0 qualification for vofing, 5, Gives the Legislature power to grade tho compensation of county ofllcers, 6, Authorizes. the Legislature to establish “such other Courts” in aduition to the Su- premo and Circuit Courts as may be needed. 7. Tho ninth amendment prohibits the mu- nielpal corporations of the State from be- coming Indebted for any purpose to an amount exceeding 2 per cent on the value of the taxnble property within such muntelpali- ty, as ascertained at tho Inst preeeding gen- eral assessment for State taxes; all bonds or other obligations in excess of such Imitation to ba vold. It Is estimated that the absence of such a prohibition during the Inst twenty years las cost the people of Indiann $10,000,000, The probubillty ts that nll these nmendments have been ratified by the popular vote, though not without some opposition, Ileretofore in the years of Presidential elections the election for Governor and Blate officers in Indinna has taken place In Octo~ ber, at which tine the result In the State upon the Presidential election was generally anticipated, If the third in thiy Ist of amendments has been adopted, there will be no election InTndigna this year wnt! Novem+ dor, whon the State oficersavill be chosen on the same day as the Vrealdontial Elestora, Some years ago Pennsylvania, Otlo, and Indiana voted in Octobur, and tha result in thoso States fore- shadowed the result of the Presidential clec- tlon in the Novembor following. In 187t Pennsylyania changed the dato of hor State election from October to Noveinber, and now, if Indiana has inde the Ike change, Ohio will bo tho only State holding an elvetion in October, and the only Northern State having a Stato election prior to November, THE RATES OF FREIGHT, it is generally undorstodd, though not defi- nitly promlsed, that another reduction of 5 cents por 100 pounds fn rall-freights to’ the seabonrd will be made on tho 15th Inst This would make tho rate 80 cents on grain to Now York; with, perhaps, a correspond- ing rebate on provisions. We say porhaps; for it Ia by no means certain, ‘Tho lost re- duction on graln rates left those on mente and Jord untouched; and loud complaints have been heard from shippers of provisions ever since the partial change took effect. ‘Thoy are now intensely dissnttafled, and sea Uttle hopo of relief, Our sail marine fur- ufshes facilities for tho transportation of largo auantitles of breadstuffa, but {8 scarcely ra- garded ag enfe for thocarrylng of hog product. ‘That must chiefly gu forward by stenm, elther on Jand or water, or both; and present ratesare very Mgh by steam o3 compared. with sail, It{s currently belleved that the railroad managers have secured practical control of all the Jake stenmer Hnes, and that ateamer and rail transportation will be alto- gether operated undur the thumb of ono gtant monopoly during the senson now open- ing. ‘This fearts austained by tha fact that carriers by stoam anil ralt were asking 183¢ cents Inst Monday from Chicago to Now York, while the: service by sal! and Erie Canal was offered af 1394 cunt, with rumors thot ongagements had been made at a figure very near 19 cents, It was claimed that this enormous diserlinination of nearly 60 per contin favor of steyyn was justified by tho eagerness with whieh forolgn consuiers ara waltlng for the property; but the piles of atuif now on and near the seaboard scarcely warrant the asguuiption, * ‘There is only ond governing cause, how- ever great may be the number. of otceteras and however plausible the exensos for such action. It is the ‘greed of the rallroad wumopolists, Ever ince they succeeded in convinelng one another that the cutthroat gae was a losing ono, they huye sought to 9 artently supported tie tm- { tako vengeance on the public for thelr awn ring, and have learned how to combine ef- fectnally to enforce thelr consctenceless ex- tortlons, “They seek shelter under the plea that tho servicd 1s performed here moro cheaply than In the Old World, and that the Western farmer obtains as much for his property when freights are high as’ when they are fow.

Nor fs itunllkely that considerations for his health have had a large tniluence In bringing about such adetermination, itis well known that Mr. Tilden’s physical condition fs exceedingly tral, Even so long agoas when he appeared before the Potter Committee In New York, he was very feeble and he could searcely speak nbove a whisper. All necounts seem tongree that there has been no iimprovemont in the state of his health, If hls party were en- thusiastically united In oncournging his can- dldacy, it fs poss{ble that he would not per- init his physteal allments and weakness to Interfere with his ambition, -But theouttook for his success {s- dismnl at tho best, The manifestations of Southern hostility to his nomination have Increased notably of Inte. Ho has been threatened with the loss of sev- eral Southern State’, 1€ he should be nominated, and it has become evi- dent that the Southern Democrats are giving all tho ald they can to the proposed nomination of Gen, Grant In order to use ft forthe defeatof Tilden In the Cinchumatl Convention, They haye put themselves in position to say to the Democratic Convention: “Now that Grant {s nomiuated, he will se eure the vote of cortnit Southorn States ns againgt Tilden; but if you will nominate anybody except Tiiden, you may safely de- pend upon aSolld Souths? [f Mr. 'THden has concluded that It will be impossible to secure atwo-thirds vote in Convention In tace of this tremendous’ opposition, or that tha con- test will be go bitter and excitingus to threat en his Ife in its present frail tenure, his formal withdrawal may be expected at any time. . It {s pretty certain, however, that tho anti- ‘Tilden Democrats ure prepared tongres upon Mr, 'Tilden’s choles for the nomination. ‘The value of his coBperation is not underestimat- ed, Harmony ln the party ean be best sc cured by amutual agreement’ between the | factions on a candidate who will be accenta- bleto both, Henry 3, Payne, of Ohilo, ts just the kind of man who would bo seleeted in such acnse.

Willlam §, Groesbeck 1s another Olio man who occupies much the same position before his party and the coun- try as Mr. Payne holds, and either one of these gentlemen would mako a strong fight for the vote of Ohio, | It will not bo surprls- ing {f either Payna or Groesbeck will be nareed upon as the Democratic candidate in the event of Tilden’s rotiring from the field. It isnot tothe Democrats alono that the prospect of Tilden'’s withdrawal and the nomination of either Groesbeck or Payno has an important slguificance, The probability of such an event anust be accepted by tho Republicans as 1 warning that they must lop off every clement of wenkness from tholr own enuge. Ether Payne or Groesbeck can carry every ono of the Southern States agninst nny eandidste the Republicans can nominate, There will then be no disnffection among the Southern Democrats, and they can carry everything be- fore them whon they put their heads and thelr shotguns and their tlssuc-ballots together. Either Payne or Groesbeck willmake Ohio 9 doubtful State with the most available Re- publican opposed to him, and the German yoto alone will save tho State to the Repub- licans. Ethor Payne or Groesbuck will at- tract, ns aurely as any nnn who can bo se lected, all that part of the Republican voto which is frreconellably hostile to the third forin, If that be an issue In tho campaign. ence it 1s common prudence for the Repub- Jicans from this timo on to assume that the Domocrats will bo relieved of tho ‘Tilden hur- den, will present a strong candidate, and thus unite thelr own party and draw from thotr opponents wherever the lattur may be weak. -FIKH AS BRAIN-FOOD. The tendency of nineteenth contury thought and investigation {a iconoclastic. One by ons, old-tinie theories aro dissipated. Even what we have come to consider histor leal facts are ruthicsly smashed and Jong- worshiped heroes and heroines are shown to have nover had an existence, ‘Tho latest theory that hus been flung to tha winds Is one that has been deoply rooted In popular bellet for -yoars and has swelled tha fish trade to immense dimensions, though with- out any percoptibie effect upon the National intellect, We refer to the popular bullet that fish contain phosphorus, and, as phosphorus Js a sthuulant and nutritive to the brain, therefore fish must be nm specially desirable brafn-food, At the mooting of the, Fish Cultural Association, tha other day, Prof, Atwater, of the Wesleyan Unlyeralty, come pletely exploded the theory by showing that, after a careful examination of all kinds of fish, from 8 whale down to a pollywog, no traces of phosphorus had been found in them. Of course, if there is no phosphorus in ‘them,/: they ara of no account aa braln-foddor, and tho: whole theory comes tumbling to the ground; and perhaps no one will regret It except the dealers in tish, whose business must havo been abnormally stimulated by the eager dealre of the multitude tp acaulre more brain- power, In viewing the ruins of the fish theory, It ls alittle remarkable how. it ever came to take so strong a hold upon the popular fanoy and belief. 1f.J¢ ware true, its results’ would have been shown not so much In onr, inland elties and towns, where fish’ are hot 80 easily procurable, as In. seacoast localltlesa where fish ly the common dict; and they aye vaten fresh every day. In guch ‘places, us ‘for in- , stance all along the New England const, where the tablo is Mherally supplied with cod, haddock and halibut, cols, founders, and seulping, not to mention elnms, mussels, fud oysters, thera is no apectal Intellect to speak of, Saugus, Nantucket, Cohasset, and Marblohead, which Ivo on fish, have pro- duced no poets, no plilosophtrs, no ssvants, No novolists, no anything known to fame, ‘The population of Matne lives pon red her- rings, hut where ts tho gigantic intellect that should have been evolved from the plos- vhorescent diet? Maine hns produced two intellects, Dlaine’s and Gall Hamilton's, but neither of them can attribute their: brains to fish,—tho former haying devoted himself to the ronst beof of the interlor, and tho Intter to tho baked beans and baked apples of 0 rural Mnssachusotts town for many tong years, ‘Tho fishermen who spend their lives among fish and subsist upon fish are noted for courage, endurance, aid hardihood, but not for intel! mul even these qualities aro derived nat from fish, bit from tong battling with wind and wave and thedong pelting of storms which have toughened them, In the matter of intellect fishermen ‘and seafaring men are ‘as -a rule Inferior not only to the beef-enting denizens of cities, but to the rural farming population, which subsists Inrgely upon vegetable dict, not even having the advantago of much meat, exeept pork, whieh de- bases the Intellect. If fish contain phospho- rus, of course large fish would contain great deal of phosphorus. Then how fs {t that the Mississippi River negroes, who fare sumptuously upon colossal catilsh, have not manifested a corresponding degree of Intel- leet? How fs it that the Esquimaux, who live wpon whale and sent fat, are the most stupid and stolld of all peoples, when, If the theory were true, they should be the most highly intellectual people on earth? Re: voraing the proposition, it would be an easy thing to demonstrate that all our great think- era and writers nro becf-entors; that thoy are fond of steaks and chops, and’ that, if food has anything to doe with intellect, the brain- power of the country comes from the ox and the sheep, and not from fish, There is not o restaurant in the conntry where beefsteak or roast: beef is not enlled . for a hundred — times to fish once, If food, therefore, has any in- fluence upon the brain, tho {ntellectual achiovements of our pcople are due to ment, notto fish, Tho entire theory, In point of fact, was based upon a fallucy, Unquestion- ably good healthy food helps to make a sound body, anda sound body is conduelve toa sound mind, all other things being even’ but the belief that any one article of food taken Into tho stomach, which as arule is an Snveterate foeof the brain, {s going to nourish the: brain, is the most. supreme of follies, and ts only to bo elussed with the long entalog of isms and hofbles with which the human race {is aftlicted. As it is now set- tled, however, that fish have no phosphorus, the community will have to look elsewhere for that desirable clement of brain-nutrition. ‘Tho seeret of success we fancy will be found not In what special food Is put into tho stomach, but in abstinence from the ureces- sary stuff which fs forced upon that unfortu- nate organ, —_—_—_—_—_——— A LARGE nunber of members of tho Board of Trade of this olty aro dissatisficd with tho method by which adjournmonts aro offected for the ense of special holidays, On tho occasion of an election, for instanea, a motion of adjourn- mont fs put the provious diy, ofton without pre- vious notice, and tho matter decided by a vira vore vote.
