Hern Birrer, Prussian Minister of Ti- nance, made bis annual finanelal statement to tho members of the Prussian Diet yesterday, and It wns by no means a satisfuctory one. The catiinates for the lust fluanclal year were 5,000,- 000 mirks leas thin what tho Prusalan Govern- ment needed for the administration of wifnirs, and a tonn for that amount nad to be made asa consequence. Herr Bitter expressed the: hope that the exponses for tho etirrent your would full 23,000,000 marks short of tho stl mates, but he spolled tho effect of this promise by intimating that the Goyernmant intended to bring ina monsure for the Increase of tho browing tax, and ty Incrense the ninount to be paid for inllltary exemption, and the duty on bourse banking operations. .' ITS GRAND MEANING, The Inte splendid Republican victory shows that the people of the United States are well polsed; that they may be trusted to yote to let well enough nlong; that they will not exchange n good certainty for an uncer- tainty of any kind; that they know a hawk from a hand-saw. ‘The Ropubliean yietory of ‘Tuesday is 2 tribute to the wisdom of impartial suifrage, to tho sterling common ‘sense of great masses of people educated in the common schools, It isa rebuke to dem- agogs, linrs, and forgers, and a warning against polltteal campaigns of trickery, fraud, and rascallty, It 1s notice to alt man- kind that the great Republic of the West Is nota failure; a greeting of strong encour- agement to the Republicans of France: a hint to the struggling peoples of monarchical, aristocratic, autocratic, and despotic Guy- ernments of the dawnlng of a better day for the oppressed of all nations, It is notice to the disfranchised white and black people of tho South that their brethren of the North havo not forgotten thelr prayers and cries, and that thoy propose to redress thelr wrongs, A Solld North means that there shall no longer be a Solid South, made solid by terrorlsm, fraud, and assasination; that at the South, ag at the North, there must be, hereafter, a free voteand a fair count. It Is notice to the Democratic party that its listory and methods are allke repuisive to the patriotism and Intelligence of the coun try, and that It can never atone tor the evilof its record by mere lip-service, Itnexatives tha absurd iden that a political organization ean exist only fora certatn Iinited term of years regurdless ot Its prinelples orlts achievements, and shows that tho mission of the Republican party will not be ended so Jong us itshall address itself to the living Issucs of tho hour, It is a verdict of recreancy against Trumbull, and Farnaworth, and: Ben Butler, and other once distinguished Republicans, who ade- serted thelr party from Interested matlyes, impelled by the delusive theory that the peo ple would demand a change of admiitstra- tion for the sake of change merely, It showa that the Intelligent eltkzen ean read between the lines of party platforms, and detect tho real purposes of party Jeaders and speakers under the imask of plausible pledges and the sophistry of falr words, If shows once more that no man fg good enough to go bail for the Demo- cratic party. McClellan, Seymour, Greeley, ‘Tilden, Hancoek,—thesa men lave been se- lected for one reason or another to serve a6 4 mask for Democratic designs, But in each instance the people have luoked beyond tha standard-bearer at the party whose standard the candidate bore, Principles, not men, parties, not ellques, shall control the adiin- {stration of this Government, the peovle have declared, and they have made thelr word and purpose good, It ts a splendid victory, a victory in the Interest of peace and prosperity, avictory In the Interest of freo ‘speech, free ‘men, a free ballot, and a {nly count. For.now there nist be freedom of speech at the South as well aa at the North, ‘Thero must bo a tree vote and a faly count there ns well as here. Men must bo usfreo there as here, ‘There must bene more assasination for oplnion's suke, ‘The red-shilrt clubs must bo disbanded, ‘Thely ox- istence Is an affront to the majesty of the Nati, and the people haye suid, and sald with emphasis, the Nation skal hvel Allhonor to the proninent figures in tho great campaign which Ins ended so glork- ousty, to Grant, and Sherman, and Blalne, and Conkling, and Ingersoll, and Logan, and Athousand uthurs who have done stalwart service in the fight. But let us not deceive ourselyea. ‘This vietory is no man’s spoil, Poul may plant and Apollos water, but God alone giveth the Increase, ‘This 3 u Govern- ment of the people, by tha people; and for the people, and tho people only can save and perpetuate It. To tho people, then, bo all tho pratse,—to tholr virtuo and intelligence, and to their righteous resolve and deter mined performance, the victory is due, They have shown thomsolves worthy of the gener- ations gone before and of thosa to como after; worthy of the grand destiny-of the Nation which they have so vowerfully con- tributed to mold. rors THE LAST OF DEMOORATIO DESPERA- TION. The wish nearest to tho henrt of avery patriotic man in the closing days of the Inte Presidential campaign was that tho result shoutd be so emphatie that no dispute or controversy could arise, Another contest over the title might not lave been deter- mined -so peacefully as was that of four years azo; and, pending the settlement, the country wold have been so seriously dls: turbed as to create frightful havoc in busl- ness, Ilow fortunate it really is that tho Republicans have slected their candidate by naweeping majority may be Inferred froma ecireular Issued by Barnum in tho closing hours of the election and printed in yester- day's issuo af his Chicazo organ, In tho course of that elreular itis elalmed that New York State has a Demoeratic majority, Bare nim then procecds to sq, ‘Tho National Democratic Committee will make proper unnouticement as soon Ks stifliclent re- turns are receive, Tho nuijority shown by the returns to-night cannot be overcome by any honest count of tho votes cast to-day, and wy frund which bus been or may be attempted will ‘Ue resisted to the Just extromity. The Hiren of Election, where returns are handled, is under tho charge of John dd. O'Brien, an unsorupalous Hepublican partisan und a special inthnate of Jon Davenport, Tho returns have to be Onally examlned and tho rosult declared by the Honrd of Aldermen of this city, which is Demo- cratic. Lf a Cair caivass shows that the inajori+ ty of tho voters of tho State of New York to-day x for the D tte Electors, you ean rely it thnt the Electoral vote will” bo cast and ress for Hineoek und Ene urta recoived dadierte a enoeritic mujority of nbout 6,000, even nilaw= ing the vote of New York City as claimed by the Ttepupileans. You can rely upon it that there wi bo no paltermg with tho situation, but promt, firin, and decisive notion by the Natlon- al Democratic Committee and the Democratic Electors of the State, The Democratle stato Committed reports as follows? © Returns insuf- ficlent to determine the result, but all indies tong polut,to a handsome Democratio victory In this State." ‘Tho above announcement lias no terrors, Deenuse the niajorities In all the Republican States will be so large that no effort will be mide to reverse them by fraud or chicanery. ‘The popular will Is too determined to tol- erate any attempt in that direction. But the Barnum circular serves to contirim the wis- dom of the popular verdict. It shows that the Democratic managers have no regard for the peace or well-being of the country, 1tts A confessign that thoy would not hesitate to resort to the methoits of Mexicantzution if they thonglit there were the smallest chance of turning such n.course to their own ad- vantage. ‘They woull be Indifferent to the injury that would be inflicted upon busitiess during several months of heated controversy if they foresaw any possibility of seizing powerat the end of that timo by fraud or violenee, ‘The non-ollice-seeking Democrats at the North would not indorse any stich reactlon, but the party lenders and the Con- federats elemtut at tho South would be ready to adopt it if there were the .slightest prospect of a result favorable to their greed and ambition, It Is a blessing to the Amerl- enn people, therefore, that the verdict has been pronounced with no uncertain sound, and that there wil not be a semblance of Democratic elakn to more than 150 Electoral yotes.as against 219 Electoral votes clearly appolnted for Garfield. Any man who would counsel n contest under such condi- tions would be 2 fool as well as a knaye, WILL THE SOUTH NOW LISTEN TO BEA- BONY The results of the election of Tuesday aro now before the country with all thelr signif- ennce. The people of the Southern States will be wise if they ponder on the Important warning lesson which that election conveys to them. Itisa repetition of what, the peo- ple of tho country have been inipressing upon them for more than twenty years, How -much oftener will the South Insist upon having this warning lesson given be- fore accepting the Inevituble, and making tha best of it? ‘The Republican party had its orlgin in 9 necessity. For a quarter ofa century tho whole power ani policy of the Government had been directed ta protect, preserve, and extend tho Institution of slavery.*.In tho progress of population the wealth and numerieal power of the North exceeded that of tho South, and It became necessary In tho Interest of slavery to so construc our form of Government that tha minority and not the majority was to. govern the land; and that the Government depended for its union and Integrity not upon the patriotism and love of country of the whole people, but upon the voluntary consent of State Govern- ments, baptized as Stato Sovercleuties and Independent States. A defense of American Natlonality became a necessity, and the Republican party was founded for that purpose, ‘The country in 1800 placed the Government of the Untou In control of the Repubilean party, and tho South, asserting the supremacy of the States, repudiated the Natlonal power and authority. Four years of civil war, the sacrifice of half a million of lives, and the waste of thousands of mnlllions of treasure, the discomflture of Rebel ars, tho cmanelpation of the States, and the material prostration of the bidustrial and fiuanelal condition of the Southern people were some of the results of that attempt to destroy American Nationality. ‘Tho American peopte cherished no resent rt It offered the defeated fnetion entire political equality, Cree of all penalties for tho past, but conditloned upon the recognition of the supreme authority of the Natlon. ‘This condition was assented to but never approved. by the Southern States. Within three years after the surrender of thelr Inst armed ‘sole dler they were In New York forming a polit- feal party whose fundamental theory was tho annihilation of National and tho asser- tion of Stato supremacy, Foremost, in that. organization, ua candidates and advocates, were Hancock, Hendricks, Hampton, Lamar, and the athers congplenous during the Inst few months, In 1868 the Ameriean people condenmned, that organization, {1 1873 they again repudiated and condemned that orgun- fantlon and its principles, In 1876 thoy re- pented the repuidlation and condemnation of State supremacy, and again aitirmed tho Natlonal authority. For tho fourth thne, backed by the Solld South, tho Democratic party affirmed the nulliileation and State- supremacy doctrines, and, under Hancock's lead, demanded the control of the Natlonal Government, Tho Amerlean people on Tuesday, for the alxth thne, met this demand with an unmis- tukablo veto. For the sixth tlae they clected the National ns opposed to tho State-suprem- ney party to power, and" for the sixth time declared that this was a Nation, and as such snust be matntained; and that the attempt by arms to destroy the Union was no more erhutual or dangerous than tho attempt to destroy under the pretext of governing. 4s it not time that the South should under stand the sentiment of the country on this subject? Is ft not the for the South to un- derstand that the people of the North will never submit ta the denationalization of tho Republic, and that, having endured tho cost of war to nialutain tho National existence, they wit not permit itto bo destroyed by mero political ehleanery ? Ifns not the South wasted twenty years in fruitless Inbor, to cucree, by force or by false pretenses, tho people of tho North to accept tho horesy of State sovereignty ? Hall the energy that has becn expended tn preventing the negroes from voting, If expenied In efforts to olevate tho condition of the negro, would have given to the Industrial Interosis oof. the South some of that prosperlly which marks the entire North, Comparatively, the flelds of the South are negtected, uncultivated, and unproductive, while the men who own, and the men who should be laboring upon the fond, are ongaged in a war of races, in which extermination of the Inborar Is made the pen- alty for elalming the political rights of free- inen, All other matters xe anbordinated to this one filea,—the recogiitlon of Stata-su- promacy, that tho negro may be stripped of his cittzonship and of his political equality. Cannot the South understand from tho elec: tlon of Tuesday Inst that the country fs no more willing now to submit to this doctrine of State supremacy than it was in 186i when it levied armies to reduce rebellion to obedi- ence? Is there not good sense cnough among the people of tho South to un- derstand how that section {8 Ingging In the way of soc{ai, Industrial, and politieal progress while pursuing o dream that ean never be realized? 1s {t not tue to abandon the Ideal and look at the real? The Northern peop! Sextend to the South the full measure of perJnal ilberty they enjoy themselves, More thoy cannot, and more, they hnva now sald again, thoy will not, Alt the avenues to wealth und tu happiness are equally open to the peopls of both sections. Why then does not the Sonth seo tho folly of Its dreams, and avall itself of the same means of obtain- ing an equal prosperity, peace, aud power possessed by tho people of tha North? 4A REFORMED MUD-SLINGER. There Is a newspaper published In this clty which, ender the gulse of potlticnl Indepond- enee, does dirty work for the Democratic party during the campaign, and turns upon it afterwards as surely and regularly as de- feat overtakes It. ‘This newspaper has been, if possible, more actlys and more unseru- pulous in disseminating falsehoods * ant forgeries during the campaign Just closed than ever before, and yetIt has the fmper- tIncnee, now that the polley of detraction nid slander iins been rebuked by the people, to moralize in tho following fashion: Now that the squabbio over the clection of our hext monurel is virtnuly ended, it may be ag wellfor the effusive purlisan slangwhangers, imud-throwers, forvery writers, and riot-fo- ienters, on both sides, to cenge their pursuit of inendaclons viliication, aud reine, fora thine, the manners, If nut tho character, of gentle: amen and. devent eltizons. Now ‘that’ lying and aticking to it can Rerva no pirtl Ban purpose, Mr. Burau un serupittouy Heutenants may as well adult tho Tact that the “Morey document nyainst Mr. Gartletd wus a base, infamous, and very eltimsy forgery, and Me.

On oth sides, tho party managers have done that of which they oiglit to be ashuim tht for which ail sober citizens ought, muny will, think of then: with feelings of sorrow and dis- gist that great public Interosta should bo tn volved in the disreputable doings of such un- serupulous partisan desperadocs. The * te pig” throngbout, and on both sides, has been conducted in a thoroughly disgraceful way. It hag [ut no respect been & combit of opinions, but in nlmost all respocts « battle of lying, vilillica- Uon, slander, forgery, perjury, and wholesale nind-throwlig. ‘ 1t'would be dificult to Invent 9 more pal- pable perversion gf ‘the facts than the above paragraph sets farth, Tho “lying, viliflens, thon, slandor, forgery, ‘perjury, aud whole- sila mud-throwing” have been all on the “side of tho Democrats. Barnum’s Commit- tee hag devoted nearly all its time and energy to these phases of “the struggle. But one of tho most pliant tools in this business has been tho very newspaper which now reads a lesson on tho subject. On tho very morning after Gen. Garfield's nominution thls organ of Democratic filtl'and slander printed col- umns of old and e<ploded Iles about tho Re- publican candidate, and from that thine to the day of the election {t gave credit and proml- neneo to all tho malicious. Inventions of tho Demooratic leaders and their hirelings. ‘Thougli,the Morey letter Is re- ferred to above ns though it had been recog- nized asa forgery from tho first, this same newspaper published the fae-slintlc of that document only two'or threadays before clec- tlon, and treated It a3 If it were a genulio letter from Gen, Garfield. ‘There is really less exeusa for a newspaper which makes pretenslon to fairness for joining in a enm- palgn of slander than thore Is for tho active politicians who are struggling for office und whose motives are always open to suspiclon, But the newspaper In question has so often rovealed Its Indifference to every constlera- tion of justive, fairness, and propriety, that its dictum has no longer any more forea thin the utterance of an unserupufous partisan or the performance of a hired forger, THE PRICE OF PERFIDY TO THE NA- TIONAL CAUSE, Another Union Genoral has paid tho price of his perfidy, and from to-day sinks Into. oblivion, Another Union General who hng deserted those for whom he fought, who has trained with those at whom he shot, who has turned his back upon the boys in blue whom he led, and who has consorted with and who tondled to and truckled to those who were Rebels in the South and Doughfaces and Cop- verhends in the North, has met with the fate that overtook his predecessor, McClellan, ‘The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind execeding small, and the outraged peo- ple of the North—tho peop|s who were loyal to the Government In its perll—haye ‘buried him so deep that he can never rise again. It Ig a little astonishing that Gen. Hancock dld not take warning by the fate of Gen, Me- Clellan, ‘The latter had the samo “Presiden tial bee buzzing in lls bonnet.” He had tho same “itch for office’? Ho dared to run for It upon the side of tho cnemles of tho Na- tloua!

A vigilant search of tho city charter and tho ordinances now in force falls to reveal that the Mayor has any warrant whatever to appoint special policemen in the arbitrary and Irrespbnsible fashion adopted by Carter Harrison for partisan purposes, ‘The law bearing on the subject may bo briefly sum- antrized ns follows; The charter (General-Incorporation nct) gives tha Council the power “to reguinte the police of tho elty or village, and puss and enforce all necessary ordinances.” (Rev. Statutes, Chap, 24, See, 62, Par, 60,) See. 26 of tho same chapter gives the Mayor the power to summon tho male in- habltants to ald in enforcing the laws and ordinances, and to call out the militia to aid in suppressing riots and other disorderly conduet, but it does not conferany authority for tho appointment of special police, See. HO of the Crhininal Coe defines the power of all persons neting as police,—to make arrests when a breach of the pence is conunitted In thelr presence, and to bring the offenders beforen Justice of the Peace, to suppress riots and unlawful assemblages, to keep the peace, and to serve writs, warrants, and othor legal process. But uo such su- preme authority is anywhere conferred upon the regular.constables and police as that with which Carter Harrison sought to Invest.his illegal “specials.” ‘The old ordinances (Chap, 12, See, 26) gave the Board of Police the power to appoint special police on occasion of necessity, at tho expense of the person or persons making the application for such appointinent, or " upon any emergency or riot, pestilence, Invaslon, or during any day of pubile electiof or eelo- bration, to appolnt as many special patrolmen as itmay deem advisable for a specified time.” But the old Bourd of Police no longer exists, aud there is no warrant for holding that this power has been transferred tothe Mayor. In fact, the present charter lodges It in the Council. Even if the Mayor had been vest- ed with the nuthority of the old Board of Police, he would have been limited by the terms of the old ordinance, which heexceeded. In the instructions he gave his “specials.” It is belleved tobe impossible for Carter Harrison or his advisers to cite any autliority, laws of the State or clty ordinances, which warrants his, Jato appointments of special policemen, and In that case his action was a pulpable usurpation, It this be correct, then the two following provisions of the statutes havo a direet bearing on the case tn hand: In caso tha Mayor or any other Pumielee ofticer ghnll ut any thine bo gully of a palpable omlasion of duty, or shall willfully and corruptly be guilty of oppression, mnloonduct, or mis- feadaned In tho dischurgo’ of tho dutios of his office, ho shall be Iable to indictment in any court of competent juriadiction, and, on con- yletion, shalt be fined int sum not exceeding $1,000; and the Court in which such conviction abiall be hud shall enter an order removing such + from ollice, (It. 8, Chap, 34, Art. 2° Whoever falacly assumes or protends tober Justice of the Peace, Sherif, Deputy shoriit, Coroner, conatable, Bolles officer, watchinan, or other ollicer, and takes tipon hlingelf to act as such, orto require an; perean: to ula or asalat him ina matter pertaining to the duty of any such olficer, shall be coniined In the County Jail not exceeding one year, or fined not exceeding $000. (It, 8., Crimtial Code, Chap. 38, Sec, 182.) From these Iaws it apponrs that, in caso Carter Harrison had no authority to appolnt the special policemen with whose presence ho sought to Intimidate the voters of Chi- engo, he may ‘bu arraigned for misfensanca In office, and covery person who acted as policeman undersuch unwarranted authority my be proscented for falsely ropresonting hhnself as a policeman, ‘This action on the part of Carter Tarrison should not be passed over by the Council, Hf St was in the nature of 1 gross usurpation, then it {s too dangerous as a precedent ta bo ignored. At the lenst, the Counell should pass a resolution of censure upon tho Mayor, and perhaps pass an ordinance oxpressly pro- hibiting the exerciso of undue authority by the npvointment. of special police without tho consent of the Councll, Tho latter stop would put upon the Mayor the burden of yotoing such an ordinance, and insisting Upon an extent of mithority which he ought not to have. Of course, not ono dollar should be voted for the pay of those specials, and thore fs no surplus in the Police-Fund watch will enable the Mayor to reward Ils Demo- cratle strikers, It is fortunate for the specials that they did not attompt nny overt act under the caverof the authority Mr, Harrison ns- sumed to confer upon them, Ind they done so thoy night now find themselves fu aserious embarrassment. Itis Iighly important for the preservation of the peace and the protee- tlon of Hfe that the aphointment of bogus polico shall bo definitively prohibited in the future, mt —_———— Anour the worst-beaten .man in Cook County is Gon, Farn$worth, who ran against Col.
