THE MEETING LAST NIGHT... : The meeting on Market street’ last night’ wasagrand exhibition of the earnestness and enthisiasm of the Republicans of Chicago.. 1f there be any Democrat who thinks there, is lack of harmony in the Republican‘! party in this city, or any fdifference as to. the result, or a want of cordiality and ‘ear- nestness in the support of Gen. Garfield, the meeting last’ night was an emphatic evi | dence of how greatly mistaken such @ man must be. “Market street from, Washington to, Madison. street well filled, and for the greater part of ‘the distance “was densely packed. Hermann Raster, Esq., presided, and the speeches were deliv- ered by Gen, Ns P. Banks of Massa- ehusetts, C. I. Filley of St. Louis, Gov. Cullom of Ilinois, Gen.-Carr of Galesburs, in this State, and closed with a brief, but stir- ring address from Gen, Logan. The speeches The case of the Republican. against the Democratic party—the opposing principles, the, widely different policies, the National aims. ot -the one and the State-supremacy doctrines of the other—was ably presented byall the speakers, and an enthusiasm evoked ‘that reminded those present of the earnestness of the days of the War, ords of the two parties and his exposition of ie differing policies was very able, and was listened to. with ,.'the | greatest’ atten- tion, notwithstanding "its. length and the heat of ‘the evening. Mr. ‘Filley’ Ss refutation of; the, Democratic story of awant of harmony in the Republican organization _Was greeted with unbounded: satisfaction. Col. Carr’s inimitable portraiture of the Democratic candidates was oie of" the ora- torical gems of the evening. « Taken as'a whole, the meeting was a ‘grand and. successful demonstration of the harmony and the uncompromising earnestness of the Republican party in Chicago, . and is but the beginning of 2 ‘campaign ‘which ‘ promises toendin a Republican victory in Lilinois equal to those of 1808 and. 1872, One thing was very evident during the whole evening, and that was the enthusidsm awakened in the vast. audience by every teference. to. Gen. Garfield. His _ per: sonal ‘reéord has won the admiration + of his countrymen, who recognize in the pro- found scholar.and statesman_a man who,has always been one of the people, and wlio has won his high place in the world’s esteem by his own ungided labors aud ability. PROGRESS .IN THE CENSUS. a The progress of the. American people is not nidredenoted by the growth in population and increase in business, as inilicated by the succession of decennial censuses, than it is by the improvement in the methods. pursued and the results.achleved in these enumera- tions. The constitutional provision for an enumeration of the-population once every ten years was originaJly designed to afford an equitable basis for the appoitionment of representation in Congress and of direct taxes in case-ahy should 'beJevied. But ever since the fitst enumeration was* made, and especially since 1840, the work ‘of ‘taking the census has had an enlarged scope. .:A writer in the’ North ‘American Review for ‘August traces some of- pre: notable improvements in the present law-goveérning thé census of 1880, As early'as the beginning of the present century ‘studious “men discerned’ that’ the periodical“ enumeration anight ‘be: made-to Congress was memorialized more “thai once to extend the'work to that end. Efforts were made fn all'thé enumerations after the first one to ehlareé the scope of the census, but it ‘was not till 1840, we are informed, “that any reasonable. measure of exactness’ was ob: tained.” ,It was: ‘in, 1849 that the law Was passed whic, created the office of Superin- tendent of the, Census, and made the social, industrial, and ciyil statistics an integral part of the work.:. A good idea of the great prog- ress that has been made in this direction may, be found In the statement: that: the results of the first census were compiled: ina pamphlet of fifty-two -pages and: at a cost: of $14,000, while it required three Linmense volumes and An ‘expenditure’ of $3;300,000° to: present ‘all the information eather in the census-taking of 1870. ce ‘The law of 1880 is beli¢ved’ to be a vast im provement in miany réspects upon. that of 1870, and it is confidently expected. that the census of this year will” yield information ‘of greatér value to” political economists, statis; ticians, sociologists, and. business. men : ‘than any previous inquiry has afforded.. Hereto- fore the secution of the work was intrusted to the United, States Marshals, who.:super- vised it. in’ addition ‘to their. ordinary duties. This s necessitated a geographical’ division‘ for the purposes of enuraération correspondinig tothe judicial districts.; The result was that in certain sections the population was too dense, and in other sections too seatteriiig, toadmitot accurate details. Under the-present system the District Supervisors were appointed by the President, the districts were miipped out with, special reference to, the work in hand, the enumerators were appointed without: re- gard to their partisan attachments, arid ‘there was an laborate. and “tlidrough pre; ration for. covering the whole ground completely, and accufately. One of the requirements of this year’s work was’ that every ‘enumerator should report .daily by’ postal card, the amount of, work he: had done to:both the Superintéendént ‘at ; Washington’ ‘and’ the Supervisor of his’ own district. , “This: pro- vision served at;once as.an incentive to-in- dustry, and. as a check upon the enumerators everyivheré.’ Most’ of ‘the odifications. i in the law were suggested by Gen. Walker, the Supervisor of the Census, whose: previous experience“and natural gift for this: kind of work have ‘made him a a perilanyy agente <1- It remains to.'ve'seen whethét oF nc te inuch has’ been’ “undertaken , tosecure tistical: aecuracy.-in the .various subjects in- cluded in'thé plan-of enumeration.’ There is ine ‘provision’ of’ the law, howaver, which jwarrants a confidence -that ,the results - will be as‘completé and satisfactory’ as could ‘be Mesired. “We refer to that ‘change in:the sys- which authorizes the Superintendent to “subdivisions. and intrust, the collection of‘such statistics to special agents. ‘Availing himself of “this anthority;' the Su éerinte: en has’ appointed ;experts: to lake ‘chargé of the statistics relative to the rand social status of the world than have been Gen.

It may be. safely predicted, therefore, that this, year’s census will yield ‘more particular and trust- worthy data, for estimating the industrial c furnished by any other inquiiy-ever insti- tuted In any, country, a THE M’GRATH-STAUBER CASE, Ald. J. J..MceGrath, of. the Fourteenth ‘Ward, bas been wrongfully-kept out of his seat for three or four months, which seat is ocenpied: by Stauber, ‘the defeated Com- munist. The law. points involved in the case Were ‘submitted to Corporation-Connsel Adams; who, after a careful examination of the’ matter, gave'an official opinion that the Couiicit could not go back of the returns, but.” must’ canvass them ‘and declare the re- sult, and’ seat the! candidate that the re- turns on their face showed was elected ; then’ | if the other candidate was dissatisfied with the result it was his right and privilege to conitest the election i in the manner provided by-law. Why has not that body followed this.ad- vive of the Corporation Counsel? It unques- tionably states the Inw correctly. ‘The Com- mittee on Eléctions ‘have made a report which declares that’ McGrath had received a majority of the votes cast.’ That lie is prima L facié entitled to his’seat there ean be no question. The’ matter’ is in a very curious shape. Nineteen members voted last Mon- day night, that McGrath was elected, and fourteen voted in the negative; that is, nine- teen voted that Grath had received 150 ana Stauber 59 yotes in the Seventh Precinct of the Fourteenth Ward. according to the re- turns before.the Council, which elected him; and then on the direct. motion declaring Mo Gvath elected Alderman -two or three Alder- men changed: their yotes to the negative, and defeated his: admission: ,.And Stauber, by the Mayor's scandalous and demagos- ical-ruling, was permitted to vote in his own belialfon every question. The blather- skites and’ whisky-crooks,, Lawler and Hil- dreth, were allowed to run the Council and furnish law forits goyernment.. The votes of’ Ald. Ballard, Clark, Hulbert, and Grannis are a surprise to their friends and constituents, Are, they enamored of the Mayor's unparliamentary and demagogical ruling ? Do they place. more reliance in the “hypothetical dissection” of. ‘a brassy. whisky- crook and the gabble of a, Communistic blackmailer than in. the opinion of the Cor- Poration Counsel and tho legal argument of a lawyer-of the ability of Ald: Shorey? There is no getting. around the fact that McGrath was elected according to the re- turns of the election, and is therefore entitled totaké hi8 seat, and hold ‘it’ for two years, or until some contestant : ‘shall show to the satisfaction of a Court that ‘he and: not McGrath received ‘a majority ‘of the legal votes cast. We take it fo granted that ‘Messrs. Ballard, Clark, Grannis, and Hulbert know that every Alderman in the Chamber took’ “his Seat on a caiivass of the returns made by the judges of the election precincts, and that-in no case did the-Counell break open the sealed ballots and poll-books, re- count’ the ballots, send for persons and papers, Swear witnesses,,and compel voters to tell for whom they voted..and prove their legal right to vote at such: election: We assume that those four Aldermen,ara! aware that only a civil court. of competent juris- diction can go behind the records of a city election in this way and revers¢ the’ returns of.the election officers. Then why do they not vote to put the case in. such shape that Stauber-can ask the Court. to go: behind the. returns? One. or the other of the two ~claimants was elected. Was it Stau- ber? ‘The returns do notshowit. Those four Aldermen will hardly vote that the re- turns prima, facie elect Stauber, and, if the returns do not show him: elected, he:has no business to be holding a seat in the Council. His presence there is a fraud on the body'and on.thé public:!:..As the case stands before the Counéil McGrath fs entitled to’ the ‘sent; be- cause the returns of “the Inspectors ‘of. election: show ‘him to-.have received a ma- jority of .all’the votes cast: After he has takeni his séat, let Stauber, if he can, -proceed in'a legal way, to show that he‘and not Me- Grath received a majority of the legal votes cast at that election. If he’ can’t do’ thar, he has no claim to'a'seat in'the Cotineil.' een (qe DETROIT RIVER DISASTER. ’ Following the recent disasters upon the Soun@‘and ‘the horrible’ catastrophe in the ‘Budson River Tunnel, comies the needless, reckless collision on the Detroit. River, thys once more exemplifying the old adage that misfortunes never come singly. What new horror is to follow this time, only can ‘show. It is to'bé hoped, however, that ‘the présent cycle is closed: and..that we may have a res- pit,from the awful sacrifice of human life very. year is caused ‘by human care- arid recklesness. The ‘testimony as to this collision of the StenmerGarland and » stearityacht Namie shows unmistakably that. the officers of either one or, the other, and perhaps of:both vessels were criminally :careless, -'The steamer Garland in the first place ‘was over-- ioaded With passengers’ Where 4 steamer is so crowded that even dancing is impossible, it'shows. that the laws regulating, the carry- ing “of. passengers ' have been’ violated. ' In the second place, she was sailing with a full head of steam on and apparently racing with her “| boat,’ the Fortune, which was also going at.a.very rapid ‘rate. In' the third place, the; Mamie was sailing up stream at the rate of only sixor eight miles an hour, and the Garland Was sailing down, but bot ves- sels were plainly visible toeach other several minutes: before they struck, as the moon-' hight ‘was very bright” and made’ distant ee < Hn:. the: fourth Place, the vo vesséls approached each other in plait sight, Constantly ‘ coming nearer and nearer, until those on board ‘ apprehended collision; sind no warning:was given on either until the Mamie was within fifty feet of the Garland, iwhen‘shé sounded a whistle as a Signal. that She:would pass tothe left when theré was notroom to pass at all. In thé ‘fifth"place when so near, together that, they almost touched, the pifot ‘ot the’ Mamie threw, his Wheel | over and sli¢ swung. ‘across the stream and presentéd ‘her broadsidé ‘to the Garland: The Garland’s engines were stopped, but not reversed, and before her impetus was af all ‘checked she-struck :the- Mamie amidships and =salled:, direct! over -her, leaving |, hi with ‘her ‘"stern - out of ‘water for’ about ten minutes.’’Only those were. saved, who climbed. up the bow of : the Garland, but those; on. the stern during. those.: ten: minutes—-time; enough, it would seem, to have saverl some of them—were lost.. |, In the sixth place, the Mamie did’ not: carry the red or green light, ‘which sheshould have done: In the § gevent hn place; the officers’ of, the Fortune, with an, obtuscness ‘it seems hard to understand, never siacked their ter- rilie speed, but plowed: right through the seéne of’ the disaster, undoubtedly. running down many of the victims. And in the eighth. place, as always fappens in these disasters, those agendics of rescue facetiously termed life-boats were so snarled up and unmanage- able by the knotted ‘aiid tangled condition of their ropes that there was a long delay before they could be made available, and even then butone bont.scems to -have been lowered from-the Garland. If a. regular program, for ‘a' collision -had been arranged betiveeti the officers of the two vesseis'it could hardly have been more. successfully managed; and to add to the ghastly horror of the occasion we havé'a third steamer shooting across the svene, unaware of what had happened, and disappearing rapidly from sight after she had washed some of the struggling victims to their watery graves. — shed If ever there'was a case that demanded strict investigation it is this; and if ever theré was a case Wlieré Some one should be seyerely, punished it is this. It will “not. re- store the dead victims of, official carelesness to life, nor bring consolation into the. homes made desolute by the loss of - their~children, but it may help-to “make the living more secure, and throw some safeguards around liuman life, which'is now hold so contempti- bly cheap.. It is time, also, that the traveling public should arouse to.its duty, and-demand in x mantier ‘that’:cannot be mistaken rot only that: this disaster ‘shall be investigated and the guilty-parties punished, but that the laws ‘appertaining to steamers, sailing ves- sels, and: navigation: shall. not be. violated with impunity, Especlally in the matter of life-boats, they should._demand that in every case hereafter where it ls shown that they dre not in first-class order, and_ are not low- ered iinmediately in case of accident, thoke responsible for them shall be punished, Un, less something is done, and done speedily’ and thorouglily, to protect life upon tha Water, the public. should, and will avoid it, and trayel-by rail wherever it is pructicable. CONSTABLES AND J. P.’s, ‘The people and the authorities of Chicago, have become somewhat familiar with a form of eishonesty, amotinting in some instauces to robbery, committed ostensibly under the forms of law and by. officers of the law. So suecessfully has this been carried on, and with such. freedom and impunity, that other scoun- drels and’ robbers. bave ‘assumed the zarb and pretense of legal authority, and under its disguise engaged ‘in the same business. What tends to aggravate this dishonesty is the fact that'in a majoiity’ of cases the vic tims selected are helpléss and defeuseless women. That the whole of this business may be understood, it is necessary to state that Cook County has comparatively a large territory, that it contdins thirty-six. town- ships, and tha€ each of these townships is en- titled to elect a J ustice of the Peace and two Constables. ‘These Justices have jurisdic- tion over the whole territory of the county. ‘Taken as a‘class, and with’ comparatively few exceptions, this, body of Constables, in- eluding: those in commission in the City of Chitago, “are brutal, cowardly, thieving scoundrels ,who, instead of bearing commis? sions. as officers of the law, have long since forfeited . every: claim to decency or*hon- esty, and who, 4 for” long and* persistent crim- inal ..practices, Should be serving in the Penitentiary. * . These ‘dishonest. Constables ‘nave of late years invented therpractice of hunting up civil claims, dastituting suits before ‘the Justices in..the remote county. towns, and re- quiring the defendants_to’: appear at impos- sible -hours--before ..these, Justices, ; whose offices are_ten,: fifteen, . r, even. twenty-five miles distant from Chicago by rail... The per- sons sued gre generally those empioyed in the’ city,—men-and? women who ‘can’t leave thelr woi ik to go , out of the city. by rail to hunt ‘up! these” country Justices. * The consequence is, that-judgments in such- cases. have been: given for the debt, and in-a majority of cases the claims have'no foundation’ Armed: with a judgment’ and execution; the Constable, w: atching’ his Oppor- tunity, descends on the. homé of the’ defend- ant, seizes: his or: her-furnitare, carts it away, and it is nev er, thereafter . heard of. So soften’ has: this robbery .been committed that it, has grown Into a regular practice, and there seems to’ be’ no legal remedy for the:.wrong and;no punishment for the wrongdoer. ‘The Constables of Chi- cago and of Cook County, as a .class,-are brutal thieves, : and :in their performances they: ‘seldom fail'to‘sustafi that character. " This practice has beeti so profitable that at last’ another branch. of..the profession has made itself conspicuous...

The Berlin: correspondent of the Pall Malt, Gazette, in a recent letter to. that paper, points out the modifications which-have re- cently been made in the Falck Jaws by the, German -Government, as well. as the effect | they have had upon the various: political: factions in Parliamént. ‘The drift of his in- formation goes‘ to show that, although the. modifications have been passed, they’, were- adopted in.the House of Deputies. by.a bare majority of-four votes, and, although they were engineered by Bismarck, .and accom- panied by a threat of resignation if théy were not ‘passed, It is none the, less tanta- mount to his defeat. The modifications are. substantially as follows: The Falck laws. gave the Ecclesiastical Court authority to depose recalcitrant “Bishops* and__ priests in’ the’. most’ summary manner, and it exercised {ts authority in the most wholesale way, the Ultramontanes and whole Centre’ party maintaining that the State could not depose them; since it had not appointed them. The Government now admits this was an error, as the new law, declares that the Court. can only pronounce “inability to entar.upon the office. The Falck Jaws prescribed a special oath for the clergy; which was a very rigid one, but the new law makes a radical change by providing that the Vicar of a vacant See may be relieved from taking any oath at all, provided hebe a Ger- man. Under the Falck the Staté had the right to suppress the salaries: of clergy- men if they did not bind themselves to obey all the future as well as the present laws of the Empire. Now they are freed from mak- ing dny agréement of the kind, and those who have been dismissed can resume their pulpits and their salaries without taking such an obligation. The old laws also estab- ished an administrative council. of laymen for each parish. ‘This restriction ‘upon the prerogatives of the’ Bishops and® priests ean now be-dispensed with by permiss! sion of the Minister of Public Worshi: Tt will be seen that Bismarck has been very liberal: in -his “concessions, and- has opened the State doors very wide for the adusission of the Vatican. It is notorious that-he made these concessibns not from any love of the Church, but purely for the purpose of keep- ing his ‘majority and of securing votes ‘to carry out his purposes with reference to political matters. The’ deposed Bishoys and priests have all come back to their Sees, and the Catholics are satisfied because they can now manage affairs egain without much ref- erence to the State. But what equivalent have they rendered ?_ No one but the Catho- lies is satisfied. The Gazetie’s correspond- ent affirms’ that ail the parties except, thé Oltramontanes ‘are dissatisfied. The Pro- gressists assail’ the bill as ‘revolutionary. ‘The National ‘Liberals have been split into two sections by it, one of them bitterly hostile. , The Conservatives who opposed .the Dill de~ clare that its passage Is more deplorable than anything’ that"has occurred for years, and those who supported the: Government now feel humiliated, While’-the Liberals ‘are’ xe- joicing at Bismarck’s discomfiture, ‘and itis said that even Bismiarck is futigas at finding that while he has made great concessions he has received nothing” in return,” His Teal purpose, which-was to grant:the concessions upon condition of sissistanée in carrying out other measures, has not béen gained, ‘for the Centre still continues the struggle, and if thé Govesnment attempts to. retaliate .there “is less" ‘hope of success than ever befoge,'as" the Ultramontanes have,:secured a. vantage ground which they can make’ stronger than ever... Speaking of Bismarck’s defeat, the Gazettes’ correspondent says: ‘Tho defeat of the Ctinnce Hor is due to'the fact that be never’ knew the.Catholie Church,’ and that, in attacking it just as ke would o forelen Power or “apolitical party, he undervalued its strength. | He, like Nupolcon J, is a strikiag example of how dilficult it is for’ autooratic nat- ures to realize the defensive force of a spiritual power.
