The Times correspondent himself says that the Egyptian does not know any of the pleasures of civillzation, and that he does not even know the need of education or justicé.

Somo of tham ure seandalous, Theso'institutions are now so numarous that they combine for purposes of plunder, and are generally successful in getting atl they want. The time s rapidly coming when the number of able-bodled, stalwart persons of both sexes, recelving pay, Imunl'. and lodg- ine in the eharltable institutlons of tho State will equnl and exceed the number of inmates supposed to bo objects of charity, Timt Is, ench Inmate of a State Institution, from the orphans nnd feeble-mimled children to the lunnties, will havo ot least one nble-bodied person to attend him or ler, The yoor lunatics and children are charged with the cost of mnintenance, when in fact the cost of boarding, lodglug, and wages to the attendants will, (£ 1t does not now, oxceed thatof tho unfortunates. Some person in the Leglslature can do the publica sorvico by requlring, ln the form of n law, that tu the annuat or biennial reports of all these fnstitutions the names of every porson enployed nt wagesshall be given, the amount .paid, the number of persons enjoymg free lodgings, and the costof feeding them all. ‘This Inforipation i3 never speclrically glven {n any of'thesd reports, but it 1y essentlal to cnable the people of the Btate to know how far the public chnrities aro degenerating Into monstor pauper establishments.

It proposes to earve up Cook, Du Page, and Lalke Countles into four Congresslonal districts, all of them Re- pubdlican,” Conslderable ingenuity Is shown in the effort to nccomplish this end ; but the result, it tho plan should go fute practical operntion, would only Illustrate aguin the nble of the dog that dropped thobone hoe al- ready had to grav at the shadow he could not getgand lust both, Inol yewrs-two of the four proposed istricts would be almest cortaluly Democratle, and In case of nny po- litical reaction or widesproad apathy wuonz Republican votors threo would be carrled by the Democrats and tho fourth made Nighting- Rground, A 3 There were 44,000 Democratle votors in Covk County at the late Presidentinl elec- tion, Inn number of southwestern wards comprising compact and contiguous terri- tory they were anormously In the majority, Thuy are fairly entitled to one Congressman inthis county, and tho attempt to gerry- mander them outof n Rupresentative will endunger the olection of Ropublleans: In nt lonst three distriets. The falr and honest plan Is the best one. The Domoédrats of the Fitth, 8ixth, Soventh, Elghth, Ninth, and Tonth Wards, or so much of them asmay bu necessary with tho Town of Luke to make up one Congresaional district, should be permitted to elect one Congressman, ‘I'his arrangement would innke threa rellable Ropublican districts out of the remaining parts of Cook County and Loke County, whils Du Puge could be spared for some rural alstrict, to whnich it natuzally belongs. The specitle abjections to the, apportion- ment are too numerous to reclte tn tull, As to the First District, 16 §s obvious that, In oif yeurs, the Fifth Ward will counterbatance the Third nnd Fourth, Lake will offset Ilyde Park, and the result will surn on the vote of a few country towns, with an unknown quantity In the now manufagturing distict of Bouth Chicago to be provided tor, The Second Distrlet, lu tho judgment of the present Ropresentative, Col. Davis, oould only be carried in_oft years, It nt all, by extraordinary oxortions, and tho chances woitld bs decldedly In favor of a Deme- cratic mojority of 500 to 800, The complex- fon of the Third District would depend upon the dispusition made ot the portlun of the Elghth Ward north of ‘F'aylor. stveot, which 13 not provided for in tho sehema as reported. ‘The. Fourth District woujd be Rgpublican on all ordinary occusions, but not by us lurgo a majority as formerly, " In esthnating Republican majorities in pro- pased new districts the rule should be to dls- count 60 por éent from the’ majoritles In Presidential years, The contrary rule some- times works surprising results, as when the Hlinols Leglslature, after waking ‘a carofut apportlonmant In 1873, had the vloasure of sceing Demacrats veturned from both elty disteicts in one year, mud tho Third District was afterwards vepresented by a Democrats There 18 no wisdom In compromising awiy the relinble Republican munjorities of two districts for the suke of a possible gain in n third, The Senatorial districts in tho elty have beeir do inudidled by personat intlnence that it 3 dlfticnlt to say what they would do In Preshdential years, But in goneral it may be anld that the Democratle strength les nlong tho North and South Bratiches of the Chicago River.

In a revort of what Mr. Frye snid in canens, that gentlo- man was represented as declaring that, * so far s he was concerned personnlly, he de- sired to be known ag in full sympathy with the Stalwarts, and that he considered that the Administration, in its denlings with the sen- for Sonntor from New York, had not acted In that spirlt of fairness and Erankness which was ealenlnted to promote good feeting and harmony.” o this strauge speech, coming from such n source, it s stated that Mr, Frye adtled that I thore was no agreement botween the parties, he should deem it his duty, it the Senato should over voty on the nomings tion of Mr, Rubertson, tu voto with tho Ad~ ministration, That is to say, Mr Frye de- clared that, it brought toa vote, ha should feel it to be his duty to sustain the President in his unfalr and unfriendly treatment of Mr. Conkhng, Does nny one suppose that Mr. Frye, the leader of tue antl-Conkling fight, the mun who so bravely defeated Conk~ ling at thoe Chiengo Couvention, thus volun- tatily declared Conkling to be righit, and his own purpose to vote to sustatn the wrong? The sune report contains tho following sx- trnordinary statement: Every othor Sonntor who spoke reflectod simis lar views: but tho unanimuus fooling on overy sida wus to irge tho Presidunt to put un end to tho unsoumly wrangle, ‘Ihis opinlon wus pare ticularly oxpressed by Scuutors Sberman, Ede munds,” Morelll, Conger, Honr, Duwes, and, in fuut, by gl tha leadlog Adminlstrution Senntors, Senator Conkilng beluyg cuited upon to say what would gntisfy him, gld, it 1S understood, that ho could easlly “inform tho Senato what net, In his Judimont, on tho part of the Presidunt would dutisly bimsell und tho Nepublivans who wore aeting with him, und who sympathize with him, In genernl toems he would “suy thut if Mr, 1tobe ertson’s e were withdrawn nlmioat any othor appointiuent u nis place would by caleulated to Lnn'u the way towurd n good understanding and urmnonlons action, ko fur us he could bring that understandiug nbout, Mr. Blair, of New Hampshire, suggested ns o campromiso that My, Robertson und Mr, Coand. ler mhouid uxunnnfu pluaces,—that the formor should be tmade Solicitor Geuoral und the latter Collector of New York, Mr, Conkllng renlied that the Presldent might appoint Judgo Itobertaon District-Attornoy, or ho coulil nppoint hit Consul-Goneral to Luntton, or ho may give him some othor forelgn appolnte mont which would provide hundsomely for him ‘Without any rlsk to the harmony of tho purty. Wo o noe bellevo this report to be correct, ‘beeause we do not belleve the Senntors named wore so craven and sycophantic as to pluce themselves in any such hinmiliating position, To nsk tho President to withdraw the notn- Ination of Judgo Robertson was to propose to I & porsonal Indignity. It was that he ab- dicate lils authorlty as President, und humnile inte himself before the country ns recogniz- Iug the Senator from New York ng entitled to the “primacy” in the Govermmont of the United States. Mr. Conkling wants to bo recognized ns the Premlur controlling the Government; ' tho President bolng nominally the Kxeccutive, Mr. Conkling wants to bo known as occupying in our Government the samo relation to the Pres- ident that Mr. Gladstone holds In reation to Queen Victorla or Blsmarck does In tho German Qovernment. Ilnving suid that Robertson should not be Collector, Mr. Conkling Insists that he shall not be, though he is willing to allow the President to appoint hinto any otheroffice. Whataver moral right any Senator may have to vote ngainst tho nomination of Robertson is taken away by Conkling’s own admission that he is competent to fill any office In the gifvof the Government, Thatbelng conceded, any at tempt to defent his contivmation is nothing but an evidence of the truth of Mr, Dawoes’ tamous declaration that the Senate was for- ever seeking to usurp all the functions of the Government; and of Senator Honr's declara- tiun that the Senate by s usurpations was hnstening the time when the country would demand the abolluon of the Senate ns & par of the Govermment dangerous to National Mberty. ‘e representation by the Conklinglites that the NRepubliean Senntors were unantmous in their wish that the President would conclliate Conkling by submitting tohils commands was clther grossly untrue, or, 1f true, was dis- graceful to those who coneurred in the sug- gestlon. It is true It was o suggestion that was mude undor cover of secrecy, but that’ onlynminkes |ts cowardice move chnracteristic, It lncked ovory sentiment of manlliess and self-respect, and Incked overy vestigo of the Independonce and dignity which should per- taln to Senntors und statesmen ropresenting the people, whossentive sympathies are with the Chief Maglstrate of the Nation, Theat- titude of these Senators, in the secreoy of their catcus room, Is that of mousing owls, Tha great Amorlean heart repudiates their cownrdics and holds In contempt tholr mornl aud Intellectual wenkness, * e ey CONFIRMATION OF BTANLEY MATTHRWS, The Washington correspondent ot Luy Pusey e snys that the confiemation of Stan- loy Matthews iy regardod us a Demooratic and a rallrond victory, Thatlsa vory aceu- rate and comprehnnslve statomont of the cnse, But for the Influence of the rullronds und the votes of Democratlo Senators,-dr,. Matthews would nover have reached the Bu- preme Bench, Owing his place to these two clroumstunces, his position will be anomalas, 1o wlil practically represent tho Dsocratio party on the S8uprome Bench at 6 timo when that party Is in o winority In all branches of the Government, and he will represent the rallroad gentiment at o tlo when the bulk ofstho American peopls, without regard to party, pro urglyg loglslative and judiclal re- strajnts upon the sueronchment of the cor- poratlons, 3. Alatthews is a legncy of the llayes and Ohlo Adwinistration, Whou Ilayos frat sent his name Into the Bennte there camo a populur protest from all parts of ths coun- try agalnst his nppointment, His unfitness wus recognized jimediately, and abundant reusons wero given why he should not be conflrmod, Novertheless Mr, Hayes refused to withdraw the nomination, and Mr, Mat- thews wus 80 anxlous for the place that he was willing to run the gamut of criticism and take his chonces agaluat gront odds. The influence of relatives and porsoual friends, of Demoeratle lendors, and great railwny magnates was brought to Lear fn favor of his confirmation, but the Senate ylelded to wmanifest public senttment, wd his nominntion died with the clods of the Inst Congress. Garlleld was evidently utiler a cortain constraint to renew the nominution at thoe urgant reguest of the owlgoing I'rest- dent. 1o ought not to have ylelded to 1t; but, whon he dil so, the Sennte ought to have adhered to its origlnal position. The Judiclary Committes, mundo np of tho best Inwyers in tho land, was all but ttnan- fmous - fn nu adverse voport. Lamar, Demactat, was the only Soenator on -the Committeo who voted for Matthows. Suchna vordietonght to havenssured hils rejection,atd would havo done so had not the Demoernts i the Senato made up tholr milnds that Mat- thows was about a4 moad & Democrat as they could huve scleetad thomselves, and honco suppotted him, . Matthews and his friends are reported as belng vory tnueh mortified beeause he pulled through the Senate with only one wajority. 13uc the whole cuntust haa been humilinting to hlm and thoin, Nevortheless, nofther honor they have manlfgsted any disposition to re- tire from it. The stake was too valuable, We think there was never before 80 poralst- ent and pertinacious an effort to secure piace fi the highest Court in tho country; indeod, such a econtest seems to bo Incompat- fble with the eharacter and dutles of the po- sitlon. ‘Tho eareer of Stanloy Matthewsas n Judge of the Supreme Court will bo witehed with not only curiosity, but considerable anxiety, after the exceptional conditions un- dur which ho gaes to-the Bench, 1t Isevident that Mr. Matthews’ support came aimost entirely from the Democrats |, and monopolists, A curlous exceptlon to this wns furnished by 3r. Iarrison, the new Seunator from Indlana, who Issald to nve given him o vote, Thore wera sevoral welghty reasony why 1lnrrison shonld huve voled. ngninst Matthows, ‘Uhe vacaney on the Bonch belonged by right and preeedent to tho cireuit in which Ilarrison’s Stato s located, and no other Senator from. this clr- cuit assented to the Indignity and Injustico Involved inMatthews' nominntion. Harrison nlso represonts n peoplo who are alnost unantimons in their apprehension of growing railroad abuses, and 1t 1s to be hoped his vote In this case Is not to bo tuken ns an in- dicatlon ot his futura course in the Senato. Sonator Edmunds opposed Matthows bold- 1y on the ground that the Intter belloves the Thurmnan Rallrond law to be unconstitutionnl. If this bo Matthews' convietion, there Is little doubt that the Paeific rallrond cases will bo reopened before the Suprome Court, and his volee nay reverse, the formur declsion and chent the Government ot the dues which the ‘Thurman law ig slowly exacting from those corporations. In such nn event the support the Demoernts have given Matthows will do their party no good. A WOMAN'S PARADISE. . 'The Territory of Wyoming must bo n Parudise for women, and that it is not the Mecea of all discontented Jfemnale souls ls Httle remarkable. All wrongs are righted there, ‘The tyraut man is shorn of his pow- ors, The rights of women are respected, ‘The fone, forn creatures who are reciting on rostrums the abuses to which they are sub- Jeeted, and who rend the alr with their piti- ful uarratfves, should cmigrate there nt onco. A woman who has been there re- contly delivered a lectura In Albany, In the course of which she drow a glowing pleture of the happy condition of woman, In Chey- anne the walter-girls and chiambermalds get 4§25 to $30 & imonth, ‘while men’s pay In dif- forent employments'ly only $18to 305, The lectuger hurself had kept o public ranch at Chugswater Statlon, wherd' slie collected the Black 11ilis stoge fares and ncted ns Post- mnster. For this sho recefved $40 per month, while the drivers, who had to work much harder and to facs tho torrible wilnter storms ond expose, their llves to the assaults of Indions, recefved much smaller pay than this. Tolitlenl rights are ox- erclsed freely, At tho recent olectfon for Dolegnto to Congress, Mrs, Corbett, the young and handsomo bride of tho suceessful candidate, went from houso to lhouso In Choyenne und electioneered for hier husband, and sent out wawous into the country to bring in the women, all of whom voted as she wanted thein to. Even the colored serv- ant-girly go to the polis with thelr mistresses and vota with them, und if they live at an fn- convenlent distance from the polls they ure taken to them In wagons, aud vote with as much zest as Lo most enthuslustie mnlo Domoerat In one of our elty wards.

REFUNDING THE FIVE PER CENT BONDS, When Seerotary Windom's plan for con- tinuing tho 6 per cont bonuds wt #i¢ por cont Interest, upon the appiieation of the holdors thereof, had been mutured, P TrivuNeg prodicted that the seheme would be so stie- cosaful us to wartant a' shnilar courso with rogard to the outstunding 5 por cents, This hos proved to be tho case, ‘Ui Seerotary has now aunoanced that 5 per cents may bo practienily rotundud [n the samo manner by apphication prior to July 1 next, . ‘Il polley which the Seerstary has adopt- ed with regard to the 5 per conts Is admir- nbly designed to protect the Government against any possible hitch or fallure In the pravosed oxtenslon, Ho has served hotles that the coupon & per cents shall be patil Aug 12, excopt when the holders shall ve- quest that thoy be extended at the rate of 814 per cent. This lssue nmounts to about 850,000,000, and can be enslly bald off out of the surplns revenues in enso thore shall bo no npplieation for extension, At the swine time s serves notles that the samo privilege of extonsion will bo aceorded to the registered 5 per cent bonds whiel are ot yet ealtud, vrovided that outy250 milltons of the outstanding #25 milllons of tho regis- tered bonds slinil bo so extended, 1t 13 ox- veeted that this limitation will operate to in- duco tho holders of the registerod 5 por cents to request extension just the same ns it tholr bonds had been nctuslly ealied in for payment, becanso the exelusion of §75,- 000,000 from the privilexa of extension will cause all holders to hurry up tholr nppilea- tlons In order not to ba shut out from this privilege, Ilencothe success of the entiro scheme may be sately predicted, The results of Svoretary Window’s refund- ing operations will be, in round figures, ns follows: ‘Thesnving of all the Interest on $75,000,000 of the 5 por centy, whigh whil amottns to $3,750,000 per annum; the saving of #3¢ pur cent on alout $200,000,000 of 0 per cents, or §5,000,000 per nunun nnd the sav- Ing of 134 por cont on nearly $400,000,000 of & per cents, or about 26,000,000 per annum. The nnnnal Interest charge will thus be-re- duced by over $14,000,000. This will bo n notnble gehlevement for the first fow montls of Seerotary Window's adwinistration, and will bo mueh better than anything that was proposed In Congress, ns well as more striks fug than any fnanclering accompilshed by his predecossor. Assuming the continued success of tha re- {unding schome that has now been fully out~ ined, Congress will find when it shall meet nest December that there will be no renson- able excuse for agitation of finaneial legiyin- tion. If nny clique of Democrats shall be foolish envngh to raise sveeluus objeetion to thonuthority exercised by tho Secretary of the Treasury to rendjust the Interest charge of the Government, thoy will discover It to by extremely unpopular to quibble about o say- ing of fourtcen wtllions o year, 1o swhich the creditors not only fully assented, but which they requested nsa certain means of holting Government sceurities, ‘I'he . refunding brought about by Secrotary Windom s es- peciully tavorable’ to the Government, be- canse It reposes fn the lattor the optiun of redomption, nceording to its own resvurees and convenience, ns to about 00 millions of the Governmont Indcbtedness. 1lad *Con- gress pussed o Refunding law, somo specific torm would have been fixed 'for the new bonds which would probably have beom em- burrasslug to the Government In the end, cither as preventing the Uovernment from employing its surplus finds ns they should acsumulate, or In making the whols block of bonds mature at o timg when the Govern- ment would not be #repared to pay, but would be obliged to go. through another process of refunding, As Itis, the Amarican policy of gradual and steady reduetion of the public debt may proceed for many years without hitch or hindrance, Smemee—— SPANISH REPUBLIOAN TENDENCIES, Wo have already commented m these col- wmns upon the dritt of politjesin the Spanish Peunlnsula, The Portugucss Republicans, combining with the Conservatives, have selzed upon the Government’s attempt to confirm n treaty with England, glving the Intter the right of constructing a rallrond nerosd the Portuguess strlp ot terrltory in South Africn, to prociahn as a party policy n union with Spain In a Fedoral Iberian Repub- lte, to escave the aggrandizing tondencles of England.
