The question has never been sefthed elther to the satlsfaction of the railronds or the Legislature, The Senate Itevenne Com- mittes has now proposed a slmple methot of taxation,—substituting a small tax on gross recelpts In llew of the tax on capital stock, We think this plan witl bo satisfactory to the people at farge, 11 13 mueh shuplor, and wore equitable than the present method, which s difllenlt of execution, According to Poor's Rnilrond Manunl, the kross recelpts of all the Hlinols ralironds for 1870 amounted to nearly sisty-four millions of dollars (S8, €42,600), which ut 234 per cent as proposed by the blll would yleld to the State Government, omitting the Tlinols Central, already taxed on gross recoipts, the vespeetable sume ol o millton and o quarter dollars per year.

"Tug: polley of lentent favoritism pursued Ly the present munleipal ndministravon n Chicngo toward disreputable places of resort where llguors are sold, aud the utter neglect by tho authoritles to enforce the ordinunce requiring the closing of all saloons ufter midnight, bore bloody fruit early yesterday morning. At n drinking place on Wabnsh avenue where counterfelters, confidence- menh, awl thleves congregate, George McBride was murdered in the most brutnl manner by a erime-stalned desperndo named Harry Gllmore. -The murder was the outgrowth ot n pro- traeted debauch, the vietim being a young man who hind gone to the snloon ns the mes- renger of n woman who wished him te induce herdrunken hushand to return home. A plstol furnished by the Larkeeper of the plade served us the Instrument of slaughter, and money supplied by the proprietor en- abled the murderer ta make zood his eseape, i THE ASSASINATION OF THE RUSSIAN EMPEROR. ‘The nssasinntion of the Emperor Alexan- der of Russia yesterdny will hardly surprise the world, though it mgy none the lessshock the sensibllities of civillzed veoples. The Emperor has been pursued by nssnsius for nearly twenty years; frequent attetssts, and of the most dehiberate character, have been tnnde, but nll proved failures. Atlnst he has fallen by the linuds of nssasing., The long- chierlshed hatred of the mun, the strong fecling of revenge for deeds of barbarle cruelty, aud the widespread belief that his re- moval was essentinl to uny dellverance from intolerable oppression, have all been grati- fled by this successful assnsination. The Emperor of Russin of yesterday lles a wan- gled corpse In the Winter Paluce nt St. Pe- tersburg; the Emperor of Russia of to-day is o fnirhaired ‘young mau of 85 yenrs of uge, who enters upon his public lfe under cir- cumstances which foretell a popularstrugrle whieh canonly end In the obliteration of o despotlsm which has no modern parallel In Lurope. The murdered Emperor represented a po- litienl system from which Europe had moved away. IHe was au absolute despot. He shared the Government with no one, Ilis will was the supreme law, He was the Jord of 1ifeand of liberty, Russin was one vast military prison; the people were dependent upon the control of an lrresponsible and absolute Government, which Government was the will of the monarch. There may havebeen feeble pretenses of written law, and fecble wockerles of what aro called courts of justice: but the law was tho will of the Emperor, and the Courts were but the exeentioners of the Imperlal orders. ‘I'he Church Is but a branch of the lmperial army. Themen In arms were tho military ngents of the despotism; the Church was the clvie, but none the less potential, subjugator of the popular intelligence and the popular conselenco, The bayouct and the ecrozler were alike mere weapons in the hands of the Government to crush out every senthnent savo that of abject submlssion to the requires mentsof the monarch, llowever this sys- tem may have been more or less genernl throughout Europe In the past, govern- mental despotisms, outslde of Russin, liave been overthirown and have passed away, and popular Hberty and popular rights have become too sacred for cven anolnted honds to touch. In Russia, however, there hns been no relaxation, and, while Alexander 1L may have deferred to tho Judgment of mnankind in some respects, the despotisin of his rule was generally ab- solute, nnd far wore erelless than it was when the great Catherine ruled tho Empire with an Iron hand, Tho lnw of Russia was Fear. No con- fidence was reposed in the patrlotism or the loyulty of the people, Noman was trusted, -All serviee was rendered through fear or for bribes, When men are ruled by fear they lave nelther love nor respeet for the person that Inspires that fear. Complalnt was silenced by the knout, denthly exile, or brutal nssasination, "The policy, of the Emplro was the preservation of despotism by the annihlintion of its oppo- nents, ad s o consequence the antagonisin to this despotismn, took, of necessity, also the form of annthilation of the rulers, Outof such an antagonism, both riming nt the same onds by the spine meany, nssnsination beenme tho governing prineiple buth of the lperlal Government and of the revelutionlsts, Lunland where there was no law and no courts, where susplelon was prompily fol- luwed by arrest and wholesale sacrifice of Hife, revolution conld only be fostered In se- erety Its members and agents stnked thelr 1ives upou the seerecy and good falth of ench other, and how far this seerot organtzation Is ramifled through the Russlun peopls may be pinde publle In the events that shdll follow this murder of Aloxander, 103 death may result fn the political cmnnelpntion of Rus- sin,—may lead to a thorough overthrow of the existing despotism,~—but cortaluly it can add ne new suffering to n natlon In which each man, woman, and child holds his or her 11fe upon the soie will of onu cruel, vindlet- Ive, and merelless human being. ‘The Emperor Alexander some twenty years ago by Lmporfal ukuse emancipated nbout 25,000,000 of Russian and Polish serfs, For this ho was npplauded as a benefuctor of his race. It is not graclous to detruct from the weritof an net which has passed Into his- tory as commendable, but in the light of subseguent ovents this act nppears noro as an effort to strengthen the absolutlsm of the Crown, by making thess serfs Ita grateful ndherents, agalust the machinations of those who had never been serfs, “he young Emperor Alexundor 1IL will bo confronted nt tho very threshold of his reign by a popular demand for a Represontativo Government, If truo to the past history of his family he will refuse, and will depemd on the force of the immense nrmy, ilow for thut aviy will slde with the peaple, and how far with the continnnnces of the present sys: tew, 18 u question yet tobedetermined, low fur the storfes of the personal loanings of the new Emperor towurds a more Hoeral Gove ernment may be verlitied, Is also o mutter that nust soon be wade known. ‘There can bo nothiug mora repulsive to the Amerlean mind thun assasinatlon us remo- dy for politieal evils, Assastuntion Is cow- urdty, brutal, sud unjustiiable, under any and every circumstance, but espeelally so when it strikes down the head of n natlon and phunges an Emplre fnto confuston and anarehy, Sueh, howover, has been the con- dition of afulrs in Russin, where nssasination Tras been wade the rule of domestie warfare, that this nssasination must have been uni- versnlly expected by both the vietim and by all ng the inevitabls oufcome of the work of annihliatlon so deliberately carried on by both sides, PARNELL AND THE ENOGLISH LIBERALS, Sr. Parnell hins inflleted on the English Liberals o defeat the slgnifieance of which can seareely b overtated, and the wora! effect of which witl not b lost on the party now In power In England, unless It s sadly lacking In political sngnelty, biinded by prejudlee begotten of frritation, or entirely controlled by half-hearted, feeble-purposed party men. The defent of the Liberal eandi- dute nt Coventry nnd the election of the 'Tory canaldute have sent o shock through the Liberal ranks, nnd many of those who have given n thick-nnd-thin support to Mr Forster's coerclon poliey whl puuss be- fore thoy continue In that course. At the general election, two Liberal eandidates were eleeted for Coventry by majorities of 170and 230 respectively, One of the suecesstul Liveral condidates had represented the borough, which was coustdered a Liberal stronghold, for thirteen yeurs, 1ills election to the English Bench crented n vacancy, The Liberals put forward ona of thelr strongest candldates, n locn! man of Iatge wealth nnd acknowledged avility, The To- rles put furward the defented candidate of Inst year. The Liberals were confident of electlng thelr aan, ond Mr. Jennings, cabling to the New York IFortd the day be- fore the clectlon, intiniatad that there was no doubt of his sneeess. On Friday M. Parnell fgsied an address to the Irish voters of the borough. 1le requested thew to vote for the Tory candidate, and thus show their dlsap- proval of the nll-coerclon-no-remedial poliey of the Libernl Ministry. The result was that thie Tory camdldate received a majority of 443 votes, a inajority Lrought sbout by the Irlsh’ voters acting on My, Parneli’s ad- vlce, ‘As we sald before, the signiticance of this clection cannot beoverrated when it s under- stood that there ure In Great Britain very nearly 2,000,000 Irish, either by birth or descent; that they reside princlpally in the great wannfacturlug towns, where nearly every male ndult 1s a voter; that thoy are well orgnnized fn Home-Rule Clubs and Land-League Clubs; that many of them have Dbeen the viethus of evietion and persceution that they are, therefore, ardent In their syt pathles with tho Land-League cause, are des voted followers of Mr, Parnell, belleving Implicitly in his politieal wisdom (he was clected President of their contral organiza- tlon before the Irishin Ireland thought of Dulorsiug his course); that In at least fifty English boroughs they hold the balauce of power; that Liberal candidates could nomore boelected from these fifty boroughs witnout the Irish vote than could the Democrats eleat n Mayor in New York, Chieago, or St. Paul if the. Irish voted with the Republie- ans, At the last gencrul election the Irish acted zealonsly, faithfully, and solidly with the Liberals, ns they believed that Mr, Glad- stone would, on attaining power, bring In & Iberal mensure of land-reform and other amelioratory mensures for Ireland. They sank all petty prejudices and differences, and it Is to thelr netive, zenlons, un- flinching, unguestioning ald that the Liberal, success In the general election was largely it not wholly due, At Burnley, theysnpported Ilylands, the Rodl- cal eandldate, In opposition to Talbot, a Catholie Tory, o relatlve of the Duke of Norfolk, whose eause was ardently espoused by the Romau Catholie clergymen. In the London boroughs, where they are fully one- fourth of tho population, they supported the Liboral candirtates, and the Liberal triumphs at Lambeth, "Tower Hamlets, Inckney, snd Southwark were acknowledged by tho Lib- erals themselves to be due to the Irlsh vote. The samels true of Liverpool and Birming- ham (where the thres Liberal candidates were eleeted), of Seiford, Newcastle-on- ‘I'yne, Durham, and other places, There nre nearly forty boroughs In which the Liberal candidates triumphed by wajorities of less than 100, ‘The Irish vote If east for the Tory candidate in these ptices would have resulted in Liberal defeat. In aboutiifty boroughs the majorities were less than the Liberal mnjority at Coventry; the 1rlsh vote would have turned o Liberal triumph Into a de- feat in these places. Mr. Forster conld not hinve been elected In Bradford it the Irlsh voted as solldly ngainst him as they wiil cor- talnly do when they next get the chance, Addto these facts that nino Liberals who represent Ulster constituencies wero eleetod by votes which were cast by Lund-Leaguers In the proportion of five to one; that the only other Irish constituencles represented by Liberals nare certnln to bo wived out durlng this Parllament, being the rot- ten boroughs of Mallow, Athlone, Dundali, and the equnlly-corrupt constitueney of Dub- 1ln, which has only 18,500 voters to 245,700 people; and it wiil bo seen that the Liberal party of England depends for Its very exist- ence on the support of the Irlsh voter, and on the good-will of Mr. Parnell. Nor will the redistributiou of seats mend matters for tho Liberals, ‘Llioropresentation which will bu taken from the English rotten boroughs must be confoerred on the great munufacturing towns and on the London boroughs, where the Irlsh volors are the most numerous, and the representution tnken from the decaylng rotten boroughs of Ire- land-must be conferred on the rural constit- uencles, where ninoty-nine out of svery hun- dred, voters are Land-Leaguors, The fact " is, that the Liberal party must in the future even nore than in the past de- pend on Irish support. Mr. Parnctl will e a foliowing of atleast vighty Irish mem- bers in tho next Parllament; there will not b a sliele Liberal member from Ireland, und if some arrangemont s not made in the wenntime the Liberals will suftur n loss of at least forty seats in the Eugllsh and Scoteh boroughs, Tho result of Snturday's elec- tlon ut Covontry mnkes thls cortain, Somo of the Libesal papers have long fore- seen this, Mr, John Morley, {n the Pail Mall Guzette, hos warned the Liberals thot dofeat and digaster in the English boroughs would be the result of & coorelve policy, e wointed out to them that the support of the Irish voters was botter to thein than that of the Whigs, who, before this Parlfament censes to exist, witl by shorn of thelr power, while that of tho Irlsh voter will be incronsed. ‘The Whigs mny bo satisfied; the Ivish are cortuinly ox- aspurated. 'They have been botrayed before by the Whigs,—0'Connell used to eall them “ihe base, brutal, and bLioody Whigs,” be. cause they nlwuys promised much and did little or nothing, Not mueh, to be sure, tan Db expectod by the Irish from tho Torles, but it should be borne In mind that it wus the Tory Mintstry of the Duke of Wollington that granted Bmancipation, and it was the last ‘Tory Ministry thut passed the In- termediate Educeation nact, the great- est boon conferred on sthe Irish by o British Parjiament, for the Disestabiish- ment aet was passed ruthor to please Miall aud tho Euglish Liberatlonlsts than to please the Irlsh, und Gludstonte’s land act was o Nppug, halting, i not wisehlevous reusure, ROt 14, 1¥81. Boesldes, the Urlsh tenders may come fo tho conclusfon that it Is better to trust the * open foe than the friend who les' s that Lont Deae- onglield, not Imving lost his politleal au- daelty and desterity, way aftor all be moro safely trusted to for remedind neasures tian Mr, Gladstone nid his Whig following; that tho Yoy leader inay yet *“dish” the Whixs by announclng conelliutory mensures for Lre- land ns part of his poliey. ‘Ihere I8 yot n chance for the Liberals. ‘They ean yot win baek the Irish, eventhongh the Coerclon actextste, By bringing fn and passhiyg & thorough measure ot land-refori, amnd glving the Irlsh @ fair degree of loeal self-governments by disearding the advice of the territorial Whigs, like Hartington wnd Harcourt, and aeting on tho wdviee of men llke Cowen, FLabonehere, and Morley; by allowing Chmberlam and UBright to have more influence W the Cabinet, and Forster afid Argyilless, Irlsh voters fn England may yet be reconciled to the Liberal party, and support 1ts candidates with the saine hearty zeal that they did at tho lust general electton, At any ratg, and notwithstanding all state- ments to the eontrary, Mr. Parnell Is master of the situation.

A New York dispatch says he atten- tlon of the Board of ‘Trade nnd Transporta- tion was ealled 1o the new dangerto the com- mterce of New York now belug developed fn the transportation of graln by means of swiftly-towed barges down the Mississipp! to New Orleans, whenee It is shipped to Europt by steamsilps,” The St. Louls Republicun makes these ob- servationss Thut much-ridlosled rovolution in the grain tende, whileh St. Louls hns hieen atriving to etfect for yedrs paat, beglns to look dreadfully veal to Chicago and New York, ‘Thero 18 no denying thelr wlarm whon the New York Hourd of Trado sulemnly dircets nttention to tho danger thres oned §ts commereo, Tho fuet 18, it 1s not n dun ger threatened any fonger, but an aetunl daw- ngo alrendy done. Stiil worse, there s nothing thoy ean do to stop the revolution, Graln can o shipped ehenper and quleker from 8t. Louls to Now Urlenns thin from Chicago to New York, and that means cheaper and quicker to Livers pool, or any othor foreigu port. We have printed durlng the Iast few weeks statements showing the departure from St Louis of fleets of barges loaded with graln for New Orleans. Some of these floats con- talned severn! hundred thousand bushels, the cost of traxsportation from St. Louls to New Orleans bebng, ns compared with rall frelghts from thore to Baltimore, hardly moro thon one-third. Juy Gould, It Is stated, has furnished most of tho eapital to bulld thesc barges and tooperate thom, and it Is intended and expected to turn into St. Louls the im- mense graln productions of Kansas, Missouri, yart of Jowa, amd of the southern half of Illnols and Southern Indiann, and thenee. send them to the East and to Europs by way of New Orlenns, The transportation from St, Louis to New Orleans belug reduced to the minlmum, und the facilitivs of handling ank shipping the grain at New Orlenns belng Incrensed, two results are expected to en- courage tho graiu trade on the river, Ono of these Is, that more ean bo paid for the grain at St. Louls than elsewhere; and, second, the grain ean be sold in New Orleans toshippers for less than 1t costs elsewhere, As Tue Trinuse hos for years predieted, the openlng and maintenanee of the Missls- sippl River route would in thue become n necessity, nnd that thme has now arrlved, ‘I'he oxactlons and confiscations by the rail- rond combinations have forced tho rellef which that toute offers to "the people of tho West. The cost of transportation befng re- duced by thot- llue, producers oud shippers will natufally profit by tiie greater prices they can obtain, [t may therefore be ne- copted us o fixed fact that the Misslssippt River route Is now and will be lienceforth an ever open and rlval routd for grain and other Western products, especiatly in the winter and spring months. ‘Lhis competition will Immediutely bo felt by the rallways leading Tnst, aud by all the citles not loented on the Mississlppt River, and the diverslon of trade wlll bo not only great but permanent, Ilow will it be met? ‘I'he Baltimore & Ohlo Rallroad Company will be the first to feel the destruetlve eflect of thls river-barge competition, That voud Is not burdened cither by an enormous bond- ed debt nor by watered capitalstock. [thas direet conticetions with the river at St. Louls, atel thenee westward. 1t las connection with several warehouses on the Ilinels bank of the river, and nlso at Ualtimore. 1t has direct steamer arrangements for oceun trans- portation to Eurepe. It has all tho meuns and appllances, by the nso of steel ralls and double tracks and the other economles of transportation, to tennsnet its businesscheap- er perhaps than any other rond In the coun- try, It haos an abundance of locomative mn- ¢hinery nand rolling-stock, and has the great actvantage of being the shortest routs to tho senbonnd from the Mississippl. But at St Loulsitis confronted with this formldable rival route, by which the products of the Western States may be moved to any point on the Atlantic or in Europe ata grent sav- g on present raflroad freight rates per 100 pounds, What will that Company do about, it? -WIl 1t cling blindly to that cutthroat fraud the “pool”? I 1t do, then, so fur us the gratn business I3 coneerned, It may a8 woll closa its warchotses, sell off its rolling- stock, and practleally nbandon ity Western conncetions, When grain can be sold nt St Louls nt from three to five cunts per 100 powds more tobe shipped thaunce by the river to Now Orleans than can be obtalued for {t 4 it bo shipped by rall to Baltimore, how much graln Is likely to pass over tho Baltimore & Ohio Road to Balthmora? ‘The other nlternative Is ensily mensured, welghed, nndsolved, If the Baltlnore & Ohlo Company could transport graln fram thoMis- slssippl Itiver to Baltimore by the thousnnds of tons at the rute of 25 cents per 100 pounds (wa speuk of spring and sutmmer routes), and thignew route ean move that graln at o nnch lower rate, what Is therondtodo? Wint will the Cowmpany say to 1ts stoekholdors, and to tho Clty of Baltimore? ‘That it will abandon the trafile, sell its loco- motives and graln trafns, - and toll the people of Baitimore that they can have no produce trade with the West? Or will not that Company make n virtue of necessity, and, ascortalning at what rate It can 8o com- pete with the river transportation thot it cun retaln the teafie, reduce Its own tarliY to that polut?

They met In cauctts and ngreed to proffer Rim tho Chialrmauship of the Judiclary Com- mittee on conslderation of, his voting for all their other caucus nominees, They owe him nothing, for ho hus stendity refused to dé- clare himself & Democrat. Whenever he has voted with the Democratic party it has been on tho nlleged ground that o careful con- slderntion of the wholo subject convineed him that he could not conscientiously vote the other way on that partlenlar questlon, The fact that tho Senatorint Democratic caueus have determined to offer Mr. Davis the Judiclary Chnirmanship shows that they regard it as necossary to hold out some In- ducement to Mr. Davis to vote with thom on the organlzation. Otherwise they surely would not deprive theentire Democratie par- tyof the high honor end bestow It upon o man who disclaims all partlsauship. And this reasoning of Demoeratic Senators s logleal, 'There Iy less a question of prinelple at stake In the organization of tho Senate of tho United States than o question of spolls, I'ie Senate employs a lot of clerks nnd serv- ants. 1f Judge Davis votes on the Democratie sldo these elerks and servants will be Demo- crats; If hevotes on the Republican slde they will be Republicans. As he clalms to bedevold of partisan feeling, but confesses 1o Republienn leanlngs, It ‘becomes neeces- gary, in order to seenre his vote where no question of prinelple 18 involved, to tickle his faney, or Hatter bis vanity, or promote his ambition. The Democratic cancus offer of tho Judiclary Chinirmanship I8 In the nnture of a bribe to Juldge Davis, and . this sense It i3 o gross insult, and he evidently perceived that It was un nttempt to bribe him, for he deellned nceepting the offered Chalrmanship at their hands, but ho has not resented tho tnsult, The offer was the cquivalent of sayine: “Wa will givo you one of the best Chairman- ships at our disposal, provided you wlll vote to glve us all the other Chrlrmanships and the control of all the patronnge of the Sen- ate” In nuother view, It was a proposal to Larter off the Chalrmunships. The.Dento- erats suld to Judge Davis: “If you will glve us tho ‘power by your vote to seize all the Chalrmanships of the Senate, we will glve you ong of the best of thew.” The worst thing nbout It all was that of necessity the bargaln Is publle,~open to all the world; as much so us if, In broad day In front of the Exchinnge, u lot of thleves should accost an honest man ju tho street and say: **If you will help us rob the bank yonder we will give you n quarter of the money.” The Demoernts are uot n marjority of the Senate (nssuming that Mahono will vote agalust them), nud yet they get together in enucus aud parcel out the Chnirmanships.as if they had tho power to eleet the persons named s and thon in order to gain the power of electlon they offer tho bestof the Chnlr- manships to n man who denles that he is po- Iitiealty aMlinted with them,—offer it to him on condition of recelving his vote, for In ne otlior contingency had they anything to offer, 1n view of this state of facts, we do not clearly comprehend how Judge Davis ean sunounce his purpose to support the Bour- bon eancus nominees for the Senate Com- mittees, e —— VILAB, OF WISOONSIN. On the oceasion of tho formal election of & successor to tho late Sunator Carpenter by L the Wisconsin Legistnture Thursday, the vota stood ny follows: Anyrus Camoron (Rep.eesesees ‘\Vlnium 1, Viins (ahlegod Den.), The vote for Vilus waa less than one-thixd, and hardly mors than ene-quarter, of that tor his Republican opponent, Why was thisso? Vilng s an able man, He ls one of the best Inwyers in the State, As an orntor he Is con- fescedly without o rival In Wisconsin, Ilo was n good soldler, I8 personally unobjec- tlunable, and hins hosts of friends, Othor things being equal, he would maken stronger Senator than Cameron, beenuse an abler and more cloquent man, dnd would 11 Mr. Car- penter’s shoes In point of abllity move nearly than perhaps any other man in the State. But other things wore not equal, Mr, Vilus is not sound on the maln question. s po- litical ussoctations aro not of the right kind; and, It elected, he would represent and en- faree views of publie polley which the people of Wisconsin do not betleve in and have maost emphatically condemined, ‘That is the reason why, when it came to o vote between nim ond Angus Cameron In the Leglsiature, the latter had n mujority of nearly four to one. 2 Now, it istrue that Mr, Vilas, who iu the prst s been vegulurly obseured on sccount of hlspolitical nssoclatlons, and now Iy en- tirely outof the line of prowotien, has no ental or mioral tio whichshould bind him to the State-soverelgnty Bourbon party for ono moment, All tho Dewmocracy he has he got by Inheritance. Ilis futhor was a Domocrat bofors him, So he sentimentally nagines- he Is a Democerat, He hos Inhorited thename and party projudices. That is the whole logle of his position. But he had solittle real knowledge of or nffection for the fundamentals of the Democratic party that when the \War broke out hesprang to the defense of the Unlon, and as u brave and patriotio soldier dld his best to stamp out the pestilent heresy of Stato supremucy, which constituted utl that was ever genutno or vital i the Demoeratle party, If ho hind been o Demuerat by principle, sl not by inherlt- anee, ho would have remnined at howe, Jolned the Golden € sseminated Cop- perhend traets, nnd decornted the corner- groceries with hils cussing of the War, In- stend of that, he acted on Wis convietlons, worked withsword aud volen for thetrivnph of Iepublieanism,—anti-slavery prineiples. When Cal, Viins eatio back from the work ofshootingandermshing Soutticrn Democeracey, covered with honor and reputation, he ought to have gravitated into the Repnblican party, where he properly belonged and had earned aright tobe. 1lle owed that much to con- slstency. Asn Nationallat ho fowht: how contd ho become a Btatesupremdey Demo- erat when he honornbly censed to tight, there being no longer any oceasion for his serv- fees ¥ 1 he had desertesd, or been drummed out, we ean understand why he should have gona over to the Democracy, but ns he eame back with flylng colors thero wns no exense for such conduct. Family memorles over- came him, 1logave to a lower consistency what belonged to his honor as a soldler. 1leredity overcame the scruples which he conld not hotp but feel, and he alnwst con- vinced himself that ho belleved In those nox- fous Democratic principles of State suprem- acy which his father had Instilled fnto him in ils youth, but which hie had fought nobly to put down. So he beeamo n Demaerat by prejudiee, while he remained a Republiean inprineiple. Still he Dbelleved in Republie- an doeteines or he wonld not have fought to preserve and establish them. Mr, Vilus was quite n young man whenhe made this fatal mistuke. I he had been older, e would have buen wiser, e saw too Iatothat ho had blundered. When Gen, Grant eamo back from his forelgn tour, and was entertained in Chlengo, who but the eloquetit Col. Vilas was selected to make the welcoming speeeh, Being n zallaut soldier and also an dlleged Democrat, 3t was felt that hio was Indeed ® 7are avis, and could not be ypared from so uniyue an occasion. Suv ho was bronght down from Wlisconsin, liko o white swan, to glve distinetion to the foast. And hedlid it. IIis speech was ong of the most eloquent and approprinte that even Gen, Grant had ever listened to. Col. Vilns himself was so overcome by it that, report says, he would have voted for Gen, Grant for President it he had been nominnted. But o refused to vote for another brave soldler, who was ai abler statesman and a less ultrn Republican thin Grant, When Garfield was nominated, the Dbrave, the witty, the aceomplished, the patrl- otie Vilns siipped bick Into the DBourbon party-by-prejudice, where ho no moro be- Tongs than h the Ku-Klux Klan orthe Whito Lengue of Loulsiana, Thera Is o lesson and o moral for young Democrats of Natlonal feeling nnd sentiment in this pathotic tale. To all such Tur Taiu- UNE disinterestedly says, Don’t be a Bourbon beeauso your father was; or, If you must follow in the footsteps of your nistaken an- cestors, move to T'exns or to Missourl, where thoroe Is sume chanee for a young Bourbon to grow up with the count: e FOX AND GEESE IN THE BENATE.
