TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1880, - Tue Turkish dobt is divided by a Constan- tinople correspondent thto four categories: () The general, debt, Inchiding the forelgn Jonns, the funded debt, the Treasury bonls of 1872, and the rallway loan, whielt, taken to- gether, make up atotal ot about $1,000,000,000; (4) the Russinn war indemnity, amounting to about $175,000,000; (3) the $10,000,000 of floating debt, secured on certain revenues : which are administered and collected by a syndiente of Galata bankers; and (4) tho unsecured floating debt. ‘Tho Inbllitles of allkinds equal one-third the national debt of England, which tins Inflnitly auporlor re bources and inethods of administration, But the only portion of the ‘Turkish debt Which gives the Sultan and lis advisers tho least concern 1s tho unsecured obligntions, most of which are duo to tradespeople, penston- ers, oficehoklers, bankers, and subjects of tho Porte. These besiege the palace dally begging for evor so Iltle sustallment on their claiins; and‘ many of them are tlesti- tute. The forelgn debt is virtually repudl- ated, and the Russians are not pressing for thoir war-Indenmity. But the Porte hns the greatest diMeulty in seraping together the means required for the payment of current éxpenses, ? -As AN illustration of tho barrenness of tho objection made by somo ‘polittelans In tho Southern States to the appointment or elee- tion of natives of Northorn States to office In funy State sonth of the old slave line, we re- fer to tho-list of Governors appointed and elected in Hlinols since the organization of the Terrltory {n 1869, Not one in the long Jst isn native of linols, nor one of them a native of any ‘Weatorn State excopt Ken- fiicky, and a majority of them wore nalives of Southorn States, Gov, Ninian Eawards, who sotved ns ‘Torritorial Governor from 4800 to tha admission of tho State, and who. subsequently served as Governor of the State, was a native of Maryinand, who liad moyed to Kentucky, and was appolntud from that State to bo Govdrnor of Ultnols by President Madison, ‘Thosueceed- ing Governors, ‘including those who suc- ceeded to the ofiva ay Lioutenant-Governor, , were the fotlowing, all of whom * carpet Dugeed” to Uiinols from the other States named: Shudrach Bond, Maryland; Edward Coles, Vitgininy John Reynolds, Pennsyl- vaniny W.

'Thore are soyernl factions in and out of Congress that are Mkely to oppose the pas- sage of the Rofunding bill in ite present shape when itehail come up after tho holt days, and It 1s not Lmposalblo tat it may bo amended In ono or two particulars that shall not defent tho real purpose in view, But theso factlons oppose It with such different motlves tint it isnot probable they’ will bo able to unite Ina deliberate antagonism to Its passage by resorting to dilatory and Ml- bustenlng tactles, The various grounds of opposition may bo stated as follows: 1, ‘The Fiat Greenbackers nro ready to op- pose refunding Jn any shape that shall fail to provide for thosubstitution of legal-tender notes for the present Natlonal-bank currency, and ultimately substitute non-Interost-bear- ing serlp for tho present -intorest-bearing seourities. One of thelr means to this end 1s to make silver a vehicle to carry them over the obstacis of law which provides that the bonds shall be patd in coin, Thoy propose that allyer shall bo paid out for tho bonds, and that tho necessary sliver for that pur- pose shall be purchased with newly manu factured legal-tender notes. This plan, in addition to tho proposed aubstitution of Government legal-tenders for Natlonal- bank notes, would ultimately swell the yol- ume of greenbacks nearly fourfold, fender redemption Impossible, and bring about tho redundant condition of a chenp and nasty flat currency which the crazy Greenbackors apparently regard as 9 sort of financlal millennium, The nandful of Fintists In the Mouse, however, will not command any sup- port from the other factions who oppose re- funding as now proposed, 2 ‘There 1g another small class of rapid debt-payers. who would rather seo an Ine dofinit postponenient gt all refunding meus- ures than on agreement upon the present scheme, because they desiro that the present coin reserve shall be used In paying the bonds maturing in May and July, 80 far as it goes, ond that thoreatter war taxes to continue and the surplus revenue bo employed to call In bonds as rapidly as the money can be squeozod out of the taxpayers, It isnot un- CHICAGO TRIBUNE: t TURSDAY, DECEMBIC 24, L880—TWELVE PAGS. Jikoly that this class will be recone lted by 2 provision that the short-thna notes, or call bonds, shall bo inerensed from $200,000,000, As Now proposed, to $400,000,000, nid thera wera Indications before the holiday adjourn: ment that this change would be ngreed to by those generally favorable to the project” 3, Some opposition may bo encountered to tho bill na it now stands from those who doubt the fensibility of negotiating the bonds at par atthe rate of Sper cent, and who de- stre that the Secretary of the Treasury shall haven certain discretion in fixing the rate upto 84 per cent. Ascompared with tho whole body of Congress, the nimber of mem= bers who are disposed to Insist upon this view Is very sinall, and thoy are almost with out exception so thoroughly convinced that refunding ought not to be delnyed thot they will probably not be disposed to rostst tha vill If they fall to secure thelr point, but rather urge it In’ the Senate after the bill shall have reached that body. «4. Bome opposition may also be encoun tered from Congressmen who belfove that any now recourse for refunding should cx- clude the Intervention of all syndicates, and save to tho Government all commissions and premiums in the negotiation of the new loan, If tho rate of interest be fixed at 3 per cont, thore needs to bo no npprohension that any- body will gain o benefit from tho rapid addition. of premium to such bonds, and the commission provided by tho present bill, including the cost of printing and engraving, ts only ¢ of 1 per vent, or just one-half the rate under the former Refunding act. Novertholess the at- {tude taken by Speaker Randall on tho floor ‘on the last day the bill was considered In tho Committeo of the Whole indicated a purposa incertain quarters to take around against all syndlentes or combinattons of enpltal, Among all these shades of opinion in tho Tlouse there {gs reason to belleve that only one fnetion—the Greenbackers—la deter. the War of the Rebellion, () DeemIng tho Enghsh navy too strong for intornntionat safety and comfort, we shontd probably enter Into an alliance with France and Germany to cut It dawn to reasonable Ihnita, (7) Having done these things, we should then compet her todo her Christian duty by India, and instantly earry ont tho promises she made to Greece four years azo; and then commence a compulsory missionary work in England to reform her feudal land Inws nnd redress the grievances of her people nthome, And after the British Government had hada sufleient taste of this kind of {intermeddling reform, how tong would {t be before sho would think It best for us tu stick to our “ Washington policy of “avolding entangling alliances” with other natlons and minding our own business? There Is no danger that the United States will ever do otherwise, but wo moroly throw out these hints to show En- gland what our first great works of interna- tlonal reform would probably be, The Amer- fenns are doing well now by minding thelr own business, ant in the futuro as in the past they.are likely to stick to it. z GRANT WHITE'S. APOTHEOSIS OF IGNO- RANCE, It {fs charitable to presume that tho articio by Mr. 1, G, White in a late number of the North American Revlew on “The Public- Sehool Failure’? Is a satirical production of his too facile pon, Hots a skillful dialectl- clan, and {fs well aware that he could in no way so contribute to ncommon understand: ing of the merits of the public-school system. -as by denying thal It possesses nny mierits at all, An attack apparently so malevolentand deadly, aimed at an Institution whtoh lies at tho basis not only of Amorfean education but of republican government {tsclf, was well entenlated, ns he must nave reallzed at the time, fo produce a very henlthy renction in fayor of the thing altacked. So far ns it hag had any influence It has sot peoplo ‘to mined to make an uncompromising opposi- tron to the passnyge of tho bill, nud that fne- tion Is not strong enough in Itself to block tho way, The others who oppose the mens- ure In its present shnpe niny succeed In se- curing concessions to mect their viuws. Any factions opposition to the refunding propost- ton will yidoudtedly encounter tho censure of the country, because the proposition Is one of clearly business-like character. ‘The Government will have the privilege of calling in within tho next fow . months nearly $00,000,000 of bonds that aro now bearing 6 and 6 per cent in- terest, and can readily secure the moncy to vay off those bonds at 33¢ per cent, and per- haps at3 porcont. ‘Lo fall to tnkoadvantage of this enormous saving, which will amount to about $17,000,000 per annum, Will bo ale most a erima; it will curtainly be such an offense to the people ns will vislt upon those responsible for it the speedicst punishment, The polley should be to agree nt us enrlya dato as poss{ble in tho Touse upon tho most practical mensure, and trust to the considor- atlon of the bill in the Senate, where It will recelve moro dellbérate and orderly discus- ston, to perfect itin detail, It is probably that the Republicans will take this view of tho case, and that they will bo supported by Q sullicient number of the Demobrata to carry itout, — WHAT AMERIOA MIGHT DO FOR GREAT BRITAIN, Inarecent issue of Tne ‘TruuNxe wo-re- printed an article from the London Speotator setting forth as an English grievance the ex- traordinary statement thatthe United States, hough exceedingly powerfal and rich, is dolng nothing for the world.” In tho course of this article the Spectator sald: The econotn{o condition of the Unian 1s mar yolous, and a just source of pride to ites people, but Ainoricans must not forget thot. mich ut tholr brimming Prospersty {8 purchnscd at n° heavy moral Rees Whey ito lesy for the world Involving self-sncrilleo, deliberately do lees, than any great peupte In tt, unless ft bo the Ger- mang, who muy falrly plead that thoir gizantic armaments, if they produco unrest, ettll savo Europe from the nmbiden alike of Gaul and Slay.

She, however, dues nothing, even on hur own conti: nent, where State after State fs rotting down or falling back from civilization, unuldy, guided, und uncontrolled by the mighty' who claim to be diatinetively “tho Aincrieans;’ and who enttlesly nocumulite tho strength thoy ‘uso politically only for themnsetves. ‘The Union does not oven Insiston order Ii Sexlon, and allows wire too onintha Southorn Continent which sho could stop with nword, It will not, wo bu- Hove, alwaya ba go, Wo do not conceive ft poss allo for xo great n State to remain isolated, ni if in another plinct; but up to to-day America haa sought and gained ber Own happiness by ine ditference to that of the ininbitants of the roe innindor af the world. In other words, because tho Untted States fg rich and powerful the Spectator would havo Jt pauso in its great work of feeding, sheltering, and educating the refugee op- pressed of all natlons, and start out, llko another Don Quixote, upon a crusade for the settlement of puliticn! questions at issue botween nations, to pull down this people and build up that, to got Into nll sorts of entangling alliances, and to reforin overy= thing that needs It And so confident fs the Spcetator of our abilities In this direction that it belicves one shell from an American gun would Iborate tho oppressed Annenlan Christlans from the brutal ‘Turk, seaure Greeco her coveted territory, hurl the Sick Man of Europa from his tottering throne, and pult Chill nud Pern apart, thereby snv- Ing tho value of thelf bonds which are held giving reasons for the falth that fs In them, It has brought out the inestimable ad. vantages of the public-school system Inn strong and rofulgent ght, and has put fn the lands of many porsons who nover thought seriously on the subject before weapons with which to defend the schools when they aro again assailed, But, as.Mr Whito’s pleasing paradoxes tlo- pel for thelr good effect on disinterested erltictsm from others, Tie Trisunn has fallen in with his plan, and attempted to ac- commodate him with such antidotes as his polsons seem to require.” With this object in yiew St offers some furthor reflections on his article: : 1, Mr. White overstates his case and ox- poses the insincerity of his argument when he says, In tho very first paregraph, that “Phere is not one of the Institutions of tho United States. which {3 so unworthy of confidence or pride, and not one which has falled so completely to ac- complish the end for which it.was estab- Hshed, ns tho schoo! system.” If this were intended serlously, we should say that it was a sweeping and reckless assertion; that [twas the product of egotism, superficial thought, and careless Investigation, ‘The writer con- tradicts it himself on the next page, when he says ‘that “the general intelligenco of tho people” should cause oduention to have the happlest and most benign effects upon them. Where docs this “general. Intelligence” come from, if not from the public-school system? Ninety per cent of the peaple get no other education than that which the pub- Me schoola afford, and most of thoso who ob- tain a more liberal cduention in the nende- ines and colleges wera Instructed In the ele mentary branches‘in tho public schools, 3 Mr. Whito pronounces tho New York City schools “n public enlamity,” and pre- posterously maguilies tho political Influences suid to prevall-tn thelr management.’ Tho truth Js, such Influences prevail far less in tho scliool system than Jn any other part of the New York City administration. To say that tho Ignorance, vice, and politien! corrup- {ion which oxist In the metropolis ara aggra- yated by the public schools would be as rea- sonnbly as to declare that water usually runs up hill, It fs tho demagogs and ultramon- tang rabble that were never Instructed In tho aAmerlean public schools who misgovern that elty. ‘There may have been sorlous political abuses connected with tho management of the New York schools In Boss ‘I'weed’s thio, but even they wero for tho most part in tho finnnelal administration of school affalrs, and they hayo all been, for the most part, rectified sinee, As to the present expenso of educating the children of New, York in common schools, It remalns to be proved that they conld bo more chenply taught in any other way. Mr. White docsn’t attempt to ahow that private schools would be cheaper. ‘Throughout the Union, public schvols cost the people legs (han those run for profit by individuals; and the former aro far more offictent than the lattor, A system of private schools would naturally extend only to a few families in each town or townslilp, and tho yant majority of the people would bo Ieftto grow up In utter illiteracy, 4%, ‘Iho statement that the mags of puplls in tho’ pnblle schools aro'in “an amazing and deplorable condition of ignorance” is 0 gross exaggeration and an abuso of words thata purist of the reputation of Mr, Wilte should not be gullty of, Io has conceded “tho intelligence of the American people,” which ‘so suflicient denint of tho charge, Tho romedy for such defictencies * ns do exist in tha schools Is certainly not to abolish them, but to improve the methods of tesohing, to employ better Superintendents and more careful instruct ors, toextend the system of Inspection, and to make attendance compulsory until the pupil can passan examination tn the element- Ary branches, Moro time should bedevoted to writing, composition, and speYing, and if the orthograty should bostmplificd, ast may bo when Mr. White and others ke him with: draw thelr opposition, the Information which children take away, with them from tho pub- Ne schools will bo nearly doubled, Bm@& Mr, In England. Well, suppose wo acted on tho Spectators suggestion and became the chief intimidat- ing, intermeddling Power in the world; sup- pose that by fleets quill armies wo forced ont solyes upon the Kuropean Powers, entered into alliances with and against them, en- gaged In forelgn wars of liberation upon the great principle of philanthropy! How would the Spectator relish It If the first Power wo took Jn hand to reform wore Great Britain herself? © For the first Impulse of Americans would be to compel her to conse tho persecution of wenker peoples, Our progtam would probably be somethipg like this: (1) We should sny to Groat Britain, “Cease your starvation and robbory of the Irish, Give them a chancoto live, Censo compelling us to support the victims of your infamous feudal land awa.” (2) Stop forelng opliun on China, the most brutalizing and debasing of ull trailic, 43) Wo should noxt drive Great Britain off from American soll and American waters, liberate the Canadas, and holst the Stars and Stripes upon the VDominton territory, re- garding England as gu allen who has no business over here. (4) We shoul probably expel her from off tho West Indies, and set independent governments thero wider our protection, (3) We should selzo the Here mudas in retallatlon for hor having made them the base for bluckade-runners, supply- fug the Rebels with ald and comfort durlng® White would abolish the whole system, be enuso, being haudleapped by a fulsc orthog- rafy, it yields Jess results than he thinks It should! “And what would he substitute? Public farms und public workshops for 15,- 000,000 of children! ‘That la what ho pro- poses, which proposition shows cither that tho author fs totally wanting In tha reflective faculty, or that he is burlesquing the whole subject, 4, It {s malntuined by Mr, W. that ‘*knowl- edge will not lift the. masses, excopt asin balloon fs Ifted with gas.” But what dtr entlates man from brute?

Tho recommendation by the Attorney-Gen- oral that some. relief be afforded to the crowded dockets of the Supreme Court of the United States, by the establishment of an Intermedinte. Appellate Court, Is attracting econsiterable attention among the lawyers of the country, and the Now York Natton glyes niuch space to letters making suggestions on the subject, ‘Tho discusston of thisquestton, as weil as the maturing of legislation to meet tho ex- isting difleulty, is, and must always be, em- barrassed’ by tho circumstance that the legis- Intton of the country—State and Natlounl—Is mainly controlled by the members of tho legal profession, and that instinctively Inw- yers are averse to nnd persistently oppose any mensures which direatly or Indlseetly lave for their purpose tha reduction of Itiga- thon, and the consequent reduction of the business of-tho profession. An Sntermediate Appellate Court, if. its decisions within cer- thin mits were finnl, would of necossity re- Nove the Supreme Court of much of tho bual- ness which now goes to the highest tribunal, It $s questionable whethor it was ever originally contemplated that the National Courts should be the tribunals to hear and determine nections on protnissory notes and commercial accounts, or be used asa collec- tion agency for creditors, Suen fs tho pres- ent character of our Inter-State commerce that, in poltit of fact, much of tho business of- the United States District Courts is in tho nature of actions for the collection of debts. On all this class of business thera isan appeal to the Supreme Court whon tha amount ex- cecds $6,000, and wo suppose this right of ap- peal is frequently resorted to for purposes of delay. The.Natlonnl Courts obtain jurisdic- tion of tls elnss of cases, not becauso of tle nature of the questions involved, but simply beenuse one.of the parties resides in difter- ent Stato than one of the other parties. It 1s too Inte, perhnps, to go bacle and reverse this provision, and too Inte to Inalst that litlwants In suoh-enseq shall resort to the State Courts; but certainly the right of appeat in that class of controverstes might bo limited to an Ap- pallato’Court, something short of the National Supréme Court, Tho State of. IMnols has n judictal systom which might well be taken ns a genern! plan on which tho National Juaiclary coutd bo rumodoled, But first, what Is tho prosent JudiciaL machinery of tho United States? (1) A Supreme Court, nominally consisting of nine. Justives, (8) Nine Olreuit Courts, each consisting of one Justice of tho Su- premo Court, and one Ciroult Judgo for each judicial cireult, (8) One or moro District Courts in each State, as the Inw may pre- scribe, (4) A Court of Clots, (5) A Su- prems Court for tho District of Columbia, (6) And o Supreme Court in ench of the Yerritories of the United States, * ‘The Supreme Court has original Jurtsdic- tion conferred by the Constitution in certain cases, and of nppeals and writs of error from all tho other courts, when the amountin gon- troversy excecs $2,500 In somo Instances and §5,000 in othors, : It is no wonder that tho docket of tho Su- promo Court !s crowded, and that business is three or four yenrs in arrear; practically, thore fa. an nppeal to It from all the courts of tho country, ‘Tho judicial machinery of the Stato of Illl- nols conststs of one Supreme Court, having original jurisdiction In certain enses; tlir- teon jndicin} circulta, independent of the Courts of this county, In ench of those judl- elal clreults there are three Circult Judges, ‘Thoro are also County Courts for probate and other local business. ‘The Inw provides for holding on Appellate Court in’ each of four appellate districts, and, by asslgn- ment of tho Supreme Court,-threo of tho Cir. cult Judges, taken from different circuits, constitute the Appollnte Court for the appol+ Inte district. ‘The Constitution of the Stato provides: s es After the sone 1874 Inferlor Appollato Courts of uniform ‘organization and juriadiction may ‘bo crested {a districta formed for thnt purpose, to which such appeals and writa of crrur us tho General Assembly mny provide may be prosos cuted from Cirenit and other Courts, and from which apponta and writs of error shall lia to the Supreme Court ji all criminal cises and onscs by which a franchise, or freehold, or the valldity of uatatute fs involved, and In auch‘other casos a8 may be provided by law. Congress has full power to catablish any number of courts Inforlor to the Suprema Court, ‘The Constitution of the United States provides that, "In allenses aifecting Ambaesa- dors, othor public Mintaturs and Consuls, and thoso in which a State ahall boa party, tho Suprome Court shall have original ‘jurisilic- tlon, In all other cases before mentioned the Supreine Court shall have appellate Jurisdic- tion, both us to Inwand fact, with such ex. ceptlons and under sich regulutions as the Congress shall make.’ It will bo seen, therefore, that the appellate juris- diction of the Supreme Court is wholly with= {n the diserctlonary control of Congress, Congress tiaying the power to establish Ap pellate Courts inferlor to tha, Bupreme Court, it can Init the rightof appeal or writs oferror to these Appellate Courts, making ‘such pxcoptions as to tho clasgea of questions Involved as {¢ may detormine, ‘The country has now nino United States Cireult Courts, In each of which sits ono dustico of the Suprome Court and oneClreult Judge. Why may not the number of theso Clreult Judges be increased to three, acting as Appellate Judges? And one of tho Bue prome Judges might sit with them og ofton astine would permit, This Court might hear and finally determine all appeals and wrils of error, except in such caves asa fur- ther appeal to the Supremv Court may be re- served by Jaw. : ‘To this might be added a furthor provision of the Ilnols system, that the Appollate Courts shall not be required to filo written ———————xV“i““O opinions, except whero thos royerso tho Judgment of the Courts telow.
