Mr. Chamberlain sald that some of these compounds were wholescme, and that there was 1o evidencé to show that their importa- tion had reduced the price of good butter. Maxwell's resolution was rejected by a vote of 175 to 50, — Tux volume of business done in seventeen of the prineipal trade and industrial centres throughout the United States during the past quarter lins fallen behind that of the corresponding petiod of last year. This re- sult is due to the.unusual severlty of the winter and the {nterruption of rutlroad traf- fie by the several snow-storms of the season. ‘There are, however, n large number of or- ders on hand, and there Is every indication of an exceedingly brisk Spring trade. ——ee Heen Wispnonst, the Ultrnmontane leader In the Germau Refchstag, in nccord- ance with previous arrangements, wit! move at an carly day that Bismarck be empowered to enterinto an agreement with the other Luropean Powers to bring aboat the punish- ment of political assasins, or would-be ns- sasing, or inclters to assasination, whether subjects of the country in which they reside, or forefzners in that country.

It covers aterritory of forty-eight square miles, has now about 15000 people, and nine post- offices, and if there be nuy doubt about ity metropolitan aspirations they will be set at 1est on learning that it has a plentiful supply of saloons, and a police force which made 735 arrests last year, and it 1s now in the throes of a muuleipal contest, ‘Tueny was an attack all alons the llne on Gladstone's Transvaal policy in the llouse of Lords last nlght. Lord Culrns led the at- tack, and proved himself not unworthy to sueceed to Beaconsfield's place when the Uwe comes. He polnted out that the promises wmude In the Queen's tpeceh at the openinz of Parliament with regurd to the “ransvaal had not been fulfilled. He protested seainst the perpetuation of slavery In thy Trausvaal, which would be the result of granting in- dependence or scmldndependence to the Boers. Lord Crambrook charged that the Boir uprlsing was due to Gladstone's Mid- Iothlan specches, apd lord Sallsbury stueered, and sald the whole affalr wasofa piece with the shameful sursender bf Canda- hiar.

Mayor Harrison is jlist now denying very Tustlly that he, has ever been n partisan Mayor, or that hie ever sought the ofliee for partisan purposes, or that he ever had a thought of party advantage I secking or administering the ofce, 1n 1579, on tho 5th of Aprll, o few hours after the electlon, he made the following stutement, which was published at the thne in all tho city papers and nover denfed by hfsn: 1 proposo tn consult the interost of tho party and the ‘mblln in evorything, T shall not retove 1 man without putting u better man Inhls place, and I believe 1 ean find good Democrats, £ want to k(ll the H{)mhllmu party, and ot the end of my term ol ollice to leave the lmrl)‘ which cleoted mn restored to public coniidetico and the Ho- }\llhllonn party i out, . . . [aball expeet Jemucrats cspeclitlly to ald me fn ndvaneing tho barty interest, with an eyo to 180 ntways, for that i the ment wo nro afier. That wns undoubtedly tho fruth ns to his hopes and purpoges in secking the oftice two years ago. Inflated by the fact of his efe tion, and in the fult boom of his expeetations, he announced his purpose ns set forth above. What were his personal expeetntions in this watter? They were to his mind no more than logleal conclusions, following his eclec- tion by 5,000 majority In o Tlepublidan eity. ‘They run thuss * £ have beaten' the Repub- llean party in Chieago' (through the defectlon of tho Germans who supported Dr, Schimidt), and hinve nttracted the attention of the Deme ocrats in the country; therefore, 1 shnlt by tho gelzure of the wholemunleipal machinery of the city, and by giving entire immunity to the eriininnl classes, obtain absolute. puwer and control in a1l future eleetions in thiscity; 1 shall allow none but Demoerats of my own choice to be elected to any ofiice; tho City Council shall bo mere reglsters of my deerees; I sha]l bo abluto so manage the ballot-boxes (providing extra ones and keeping the polls open allnight If necessary), that T ean nssure thoe party at any thme from .10,000 to 15,000 Democratie majority in this cltys neting through the samo machinery, I ean send my delegates to all State conven- tions, and be able, through the force at my back, to dlctatoto the Democratic varty of the State, I will, from belng * Boss ? in Chleago, become recognlzed as the Boss of Illinofs, ad my voiee andt my delegation will be recog- nized as speaking by authority in Demos cratic Natlonal Conventions: Having *kiiled the Republlean party in Chleago, it will be kitled in 1ilinois, and the mau whe shall thus have transferred Iltinols from the Lepublic- an to the Democratic list of Stutes, will— maust of neeessity—be treated as the foremost = man In the party, and the man es- peclally eutitled “to all the *meat’ within the gift of the organization, I shall have the opporiunity before Nationnl audiences of displaylng iy matchless sue- ‘cess ns an.orator, and the conglomerate Indian, Scandinavian, German, Saxon, and Tluguenot blood within my veins will arouse an instinctive and kindred sympatiry among all the nationalitics of the country, My election is but the first round in the Indder which fnvitesand leads me to power aud Tionors not equnled since tho government of Washington.” This was the day-dream of Ilnrrfsou on the 7th of Awvril, 1830, when his eleetion us Mayor was ascertained. Jiow did he carry out his plan of opera- tlons ? 1le began by the sumwmary dismissal of fepublleans. Controller Farwell and City-Engineer Chesbrougti, than whow no more faithful officers ecver served the clty, were promptly bouncedh In due thne the Chiet of tha Fire Department wns de- capitated. The Polico and tha Fire Depart- ments were made as solidly Democratic ns was practicable. The noturious Lieh was made Chief of the Water Departnent, and every street-foreman and Iaborer, every bridge-tender, every sewer-cleancr and pumpman was sworn in to obey Carter Hnrrison and the Democratic party. o During the two years that have followed, State street, Clark street, and the intermedi- ate and Interal streets hava been repeopled, Every decent family almost has been com- welled to wmove away to eseape moral cons taglon and horrible Indecency, and their places filled with Heensed bagnlos aad pro- tected gamblers, {nhablting the vilest doggeries, fhed with male thieves, burglars, garroters, cut-throats, robbers, and blacklegs, women degraded by the most besotted vites, aud a population of girl ehlldren from 11 to 15 years of uge, enticed or forced away from their homes, rpduced to prostitution, and numbering al- |« most a3 many of the same ages asattend the Sunday-s¢hools of the South Ulvision.

Tho guestion with him le, how ean bo reconelle his convictlons and oxprossions upon tho subleet of Clvil-Servico reform with the netual condition of tho CivilkServiee systom with which he finds himsclf surronnded? ‘Thils seems to bo o fafr and fmpartial view of the Prestident’s purposes In regurd to the offlees, There is reason to belleve that all he meant by his deelarations in vegard to consulting Congressmen was that he would call upon them for mivice, or give dua con- slderntion to thelr opintons It offered volun- tarily, in regard to appoiytments in their own States and distrlets. Ile has shown o disposition to do this, and, It done within proper Hmits, there is no objectlon to tho pol- fey. 'The President eannot possibly be in- formed of the merits nnd qualifications of all applicants for oflice throughout the country, aud 1t wns proved that Mr. Iayes method of ndopting as a* standard clther personal ncquaintance or former resl- donce In the State of Ohio did not always lend to happy results, At the sawma tlme, President Garfield has also given ample no- tiee that he does not propose to submit to Congressional dictation, but to make his own appointments In cases where he s satistied of the fitness of his selectlons, ‘Tho appolnt- ment of Judge Robertson as Colleetor at New York would be sufticiently convinetng evidencg ot this fact, If thero were no other. Achungein the management of the Cus~ tom-Housa at this time Is notstrictly in tho iine of Clvil-Servieo reform. The rale of continuous service during good behavior and effielent adminlstratlon, or at least to the end of the term for which'an appointment was made, so long ns these conditions Inst, would require that Mr. Merritt bo retained ti)) the explration of his term. Thero may have been some' good rTeasons in this cnse for making a change which would warrant the Presldent in "appointing & successor to Mer- titt withoutretlecting upon the Intter; indewd, the shinultaneous appointment of Merritt ns Consul at London would fudicato that the proposed ehrnge In the Custom-llouss was not regarded by either party as an eneroach- ment upon Mr. Merritt’srightsor an infraction upon proper Clvil-Service rules, In any ease, the opposition made to Robertson's confirma- tion by Mr, Conkling and his friends s not based upon any alleged breach of Civil-Serv- feo tenure. When the I'resident, apparently with the concurrence of Mr, Merritt, and presumably in the iInterest of the public service, declded upon the ehinnge, he had in his mind nman whom he belleved to be in every way suited to the place. Convineced of this, he did not sce any neeessity for con- sultiug the New York Svnator nbout the matter. There I3 fio eriticlam wpon the Pres- ident’s selection so far as fitness goes, Itis admitted that Judge Robertson is an able man, & man of character and inttuence, ‘The objection to his confirmation rests solely upon the facts that the President did not asic Coukling to dictate the appointment, and that the gentleman selected is not o henéhman of Mr, Conkllng's. The sub- Jeet of Civil-Servies reform Is only. Involved to the extent that it shows the Presi- dent not to bo committed to the old system of allowlng Senators to make the appolnt- ments which' the Constitution vests in the Executive. In this respeet the appointment of Robert- son hes an lmportant signlficance for the country, and the benring it has upon the Prestdent’s relutlons to Clvil-Service reform will not be mazerinlly affected by the former's confirmation or refection. If Ilobertson be confirmed,. the rond will certainly be ensler for the Iresldent to proceed in an independ- ent mannor in all cases In whieh ho la person- ally convinced of tho fitness of men whom he desires to appoint; but if Lobertson be trejected, the President will cortainly not ba the more faverably disposed on that aceount to surrender to the dictating Senatorial clique, but will rather coutract the conces- slons which he has been Incllned to make to Congresslonal preferences. ELECTORAL REFORM IN FRANOE. The question of electornl reforin, which has lately been agitatlog tho French press and the French veople, as well as the Cham- her of Deputles, has become one of -unusual fmportance, and seews lkely yet to lnvolve n bltter contest, thongh the Ministry thus far has eseaped dissolutlon by .declaring neutral- ity, and the Chamber htself-seems disposed to reject It. ‘The fssue turns upon the election of members of the Chamber of Deputles, and the mode by which they shall be elected, ‘The present method is known as the serutin d'arrondisserncnt, by which each arrondisses nent or district elects one Deputy It its pop- ulation does not exceed 100,000, and an addi- tlonal Deputy for each 100,000 or fraction thereof. ‘Chis mcthod was adopted In 18576 after n severe contest, In which M. Gambetta and hia faction, who opposed it, were defeat- ed, Its ndvocates hoping by Its use to turn it agalnst the Iepublie, though In this they were disappoluted, a8 by this very wmethod M, Gambetta was elected President of the Assembly and M, Grévy President .of the lepublic, As the constitutional termn of the Assembly Is drawing to ‘a close, the enemies of the method are now agltating the udoption of the scrutin de liste, Theentlre number of arrondivsements, which elect 533 Deputles, are divided into clghty-six departuents, snd under tha scrutln de liste the electfon would take pluce by depurte ments,~that i3, cuch elector In n department would vote for s muny Deputles as the nuw. berof arrondlrscments In hls departient wos entitled to, ‘Fhie method may be more clear- Iy understood by substituting our States for departiments. Under this method cach voter iu Ltinols, Insteadt of voting for ona Con- gressman in his own district, would vote for the entire nlneteen Congressien on ong ticket,—~a plan which would of course inake every Btate solid in its delegations. Tl nutural effects of the two methiods of votlng aro substuntlully the same In Frauce thut they would be in thls country, In France, the sceutin d'arrondissement gives 6 volco to minorities, and It ulso ullows the representation of Jocal Intluences and sectlonaf opinfuns in the As. sembly,—which Is one result the sdvocates of the scrutin de late wish 1o prevent, by dolog away with the various factlons and consulldutyng the electorul power into nuiore cowpaet ol pertnanent whole, us well as to glva the Minbstry tho udvantage of un un. swerving wajority, Siuch s result would be Hkely to satisfy M. Gambetts, who 13 I principal sdvocate, slnce it Lie could elect hluseif to the Prestdency by ths method be wmight commnnd 8 long leass of power with an undivided majority at hiy back, ‘Thero nre, huwever, somy sUong peasons ngulie the systens.

As will readily be seen; under sitch o system tiot o single Demoerat conid be elected from - nols, Wisconsin, or Iown, nmd not n sluglo TRopubliean could ho eleeted in o Democratic State. It would unguestionaply Inereaso tho Republican majority In Franee, it wounll crush out tho fnetions in the Chamber, and It wonld give thy Government a tromendous power, ospecinlly In the lhundy of very ambltous mon,~M.

Itcertaluly would not n this country, and 1€ not here, how much more dangerous fn experinent would it be In Franee, whuso republican inatitutions are by no means yot so firmly grounded on sell-government thut they can afford to risk experinents in pop- ular representatton! ‘The electlon of 1871, which was conducted by the acrittinde lste, aluost redstablished the monnréhy, France lias havdly made progress onough yetnsa republican Government to abandon s present methods, or to venture opening its gates to possiblo flnods of corruption, THE RORTHERN PACIFI0 RAILWAY, The Northern Pacific Kailrond Compuny was chartered somo dozen years ago to con- struet o raflway from Lake Superlor to Puget’s Sound, The Company had n vast grant of 42,000,000 acres of publie territory, ol the road was under construction when it was overtaken by tho panle In 187 . The Compiany beeame bankrupt, and the sshole charter, grant, aml everything-clse was sold under a mortgage to o commiftee of the Dondholdery, whoorganized u new company. The capltal stock remnlned at £100,000,0005 of this stock $51,000,000 was made a pre- ferred stock, bearing 8 per cont, and to bo used In rotiring the principal and fnterest ot outstanding bonds and the payiog of certain floatinge debt, The 849,000,000 of tho cowms mon or wnter stock was to bo ls sued, 8o far as needed, share for share, tb the holders of,tho orlginal stock ot the Company. Of this lnst named or * coms mon " stock, 826,000,000 way retained by the Company, and to bo tssued ratably as tho construetion of tho rond progressed and wna necepted by the Government. In this way this block of reserved common stock wns reduced to $13,000,000, . In the meantime a disturbing element mado its appenrance in the market. Several stenm navigation compnnies on the Pacific const aud vivers consolidated,—that I3, the Oregon Steamship Company doing business between San Franclsco and Portland, Ore., and the Oregon Stean Navigation Company dolng business on varlong rivers, includlug the Columbia, Willametts, and Snake, and perhiaps other rivers, combined their capital and property and united for a common in- terest, These navigation companies .were organized to perforn the transportation busl- ness of Oregon by water, and thus control the traflie, Walla Walla wns tho centre of this viver ngvigation. Had the Northern Paclfic Company fixed its terminus at Walla Walla, all woulll lhave been smooth sniling, and the Navigation Company would-have had things ny they wanted,” Dut tho terminusof * the road was fixed at Tacoms, a cityon Puget Sound, supposed to have superior facilities as o harbor over Portlund, which Is appronched through n long streteh of navi- gatlonon the Wiilamétte and Columbia Rivers, ‘The location of the terminus ut Tacomn gavo Walla Whails the go-by, amd transferrad to another polnt, not on the lines ot the navi- gution companies, o central seat of ocean as well us luterior tiade, ence the consolida. tlonof the river navigation companies, which, to be rendered more complete, Included sev- erul local railronds and braushes, lending off to various pirts of the State. ‘Lhe capital of the consolidated Navigation & Italirond Company 1s $12,000,000, and Mr. flenry Villard, well known In Chicngo, s the Presldent and Chlet Maunger of that Company. Unable o control the location of tho western tormiiius of the Northern I'n- cific Road otherwise, Mr, Villard proceeded to obialn control of tha Northern Pacific Company. For this purpese ho and other eapitalists quietly invested their eapital un- i} they purchased or otherwlse obtained con- trol of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Northern Pacific Company, the purpose and object of 50 duingbelng to make Walla Walla the actual terminus of the rond, aud, of course, practieally unite the rallroud and the navigation companies into one and the samo transportation monopoly. ‘T'ho existing mannagemertt of the Northern Paclfie Company were somewhat astounded when they heard of the Intrusion of, the strangers, and of thelr own probidble ouster in September next. Keenly alive to thelr own Interests, they thereupon ardored the Issue of tho 818,000,000 of capital stock to those entitled to recelva it. This had the effect of incrensing tho nmount of stock neeessary to constituto o fmnjority, and, ns a wmajority Is neeessary, the prics of the stoek had a great risy in the market, Mr., Villard thoreupon begun one of those litlgntions which have been so common in New York under ks circumstances, and has obtained an Injunction prohibiting the Is4ue of this reserved stock, thus tylug it up, pussibly, uutll after the September ecting of the stockholders, hua the matter now stands, 'I'he present legal ternminus of the rood Is at au ocean harbor In Washingten Territory.
