MONDAY, MAY 80, 1881, ———— rr ‘Tur extremely hot weather prevalent in Washington has hada very Injurlous effect Upon Mrs. Garfield, and ont this account tho President will probably not be able to attend the decoration coramoanies to-day, ed Mesontar services in connection with Decoration-Day were held yesterday after- noon at the Grand Opera-House. The Ilon. E. B. Washburne presided, and addresses were made by the Rev. George C. Miln and Gon, Robert W. Smith, “Similar servieds were hetd by Abraham Lincoln Post, No, 01, GALT. at tholr hall, ‘To-day there (ill bo aparade of all the reglnents and batterles located tn Chieago, and public business will be to a considerable extent suspended, Tim overzeat of the pigtal-clerks who caused the arrest of tho man In Virglala whoon a postaleard referred to Senntor Malhono asa dog’? Is caleulnted to make the whole business ridiculous, ‘The vigor with which these clerks testiiied how enre- fully they examined all postal-cards to see If any of them contained any abuse of Senators and public officers was an exhtbition of small Hunkeylsm which ought to be oficially snubbed. ‘The arrest was absurd, and the prosecution, having mada itself ridiculous, should now be ordered suppressed, Tur: elevated rallroads of New York pro- pose to throw the heavy taxes of which they complain back upon the people. Theannual tax of $762,000 which thay are called upon to pay ean be ralsed, they say, by dlininishing thudally five-cont hours from six to four, and charging eight cents Instead of five for a ride to Harlem River in comumisslon hours, and ‘I7Instend of 10 cents the rest of the time, ‘The companies assert that the taxes are 16 per ecentof their gross recefpts, and elaiin to havo thelr romedy in higher fares, whieh are authorized by thelr charters. ‘Tho New York Tribune, an ever-falthful ally of corpnra- ons, already shows « dectidod uisposition to justify the companies in their new polley, Tu author of tho word “Stalwart” was Benator Blaine, ‘The New York Trltnine re- eutls the fuct that, in the spring of 1877, hulng asked to make an energetic protest against some phases of Prestident Hnyes’ polley touching Govs, Packard and Chombertain, ‘We Senator from Malne concluded a lengthy lelegram to the Boston Herald of April 101n the following words, published next day In tho Assoelnted Press dispatches: T trust, also, that both Governors know that tho Boston press no more represents tho STAL- WART Republican fooling of Now England on tho ponding igsuics than tho sume pros did when It demanded the enfurvemont of the Fugitives Blave Jaw in 151. . Mr. Blaine not only orlglnated the word In this sense, but he originated tho thing, Mr, Conkling did not find It convenlent to ba a Stalwart until President Mayes deprived him of the New York Cugtoni-House, but Senator Blaine wos always a Stalwart from the mo- ment Packard and Chamberlnin were do- posed. ‘ Tue revision of the New ‘Testament was tha thane of inany pulpit discourses in Chi tago yesterday, Prof, Swing, in his sermon at Contra!

Sluilar recognition of ‘Trew. was contained fy the sermon of the Rev. I. 1. Galvin at the Third Unitarian Church. Sermons on the same subject were preached by the Rey. J. Ul. Walker in the Campbell Park Presbyterian Church, by the Rev. A. C, George In Centenary Methodist Church, and by the. Rey, 0, 4. Towle in the Bethany Congregational Chureh, ‘The Church of the Good Shepherd (Protestant Episcopal) at Lawndale, a Chile Pago suburb, was conseeratad yesterday by. Bishop MeLaren, At the Michigan Avenue Methodist Chureh Inst evening the Rev, A, M. Piltchea, Chaplain of the Ilinoty State Penitentlary, delivered a lecture on“ Crhing and Crhulnala,”* TuH Tas Commsston appofntad by Gov. Cornel! has submitted a concise and briet re- port, Tho duties of the Comumisston were merely advisory, ‘The main scope of ita work was to carry forward the polloy initintod at the session of 1580 to provide revenue for the State Government by n spectil (ax on corpo- rations and particular lasses of business, “and thereby to lilt the general taxes ta be (npasod In the focal communities exclusive: ly for the support of tho locnl Governments." In this two Important ends wero'ta be ob talned: first, tho cHiniuation of State taxes from the onerous burdens heretofore {m- posed on real estate; second, to cone! a larger contribution from personal estate, which has, by evasion and fraud, escaped taxation, ‘Tho Comission has, under the Tead uf the jolut connnittes of the Leglsti ture, revised three luportant acts of the last peaaion, lta revision hay heen reported iu four bills, separating trust corpaules from banks and placing them in a Trust Compantes act. ‘Theso measures com: prehend the bill taxing the franchises and business of numerous corporations, Joint stock companies, and organizations, tho bill providing forn tax on life-lnsurance com- panias, and the bili providing for a tax on bank shares. ‘The report continuess Proceeding ta extom) the polley of those hills, wo have roportod n bill taxing savioge-banige, a Dill taxing the manufacture and sale of Iiquora, f bill taxing trust mortgnge bonds and collat- cral inheritances, and a bill taxing ralos of stocks, sccuiritics, cottun, potroleum, and other commodities, Supposing the bills reported to be enacted into law, the Commission estimate that they will yleld over $6,000,000 revenue, The Commission fear thAt some of these bills, particularly those rélating to Ufe-nsurance companies and savings-banks, may exelte prajudices on the score thatthey bear hioavily on tho means of the poor, But thoy belleve it to be alien to the spirit of a relf-respocting peoply to stiggest such distinctions, which fre not recognized by the Inws. Wich and Poor enjoy equal privileges, and alt owe tha duty to support the Government according to their means, Mn. Conkrine squares the cirele this: 1, [have resigned my sent In the Senate and nothing will Induce ine to take It again. 2 If I should be realected by acclamation, and Piatt ton, It might be our duty to necept a “vindleation,” 3.

The grapes hang execedingly high, and it is ny: private opinion they are sotr, 1. They are sour, and Lreturn to my orig- {nat position, from which [ have never de- parted, that I will not accept a reflection under any elreumstances. You hear me! JONKLING, Platt, and Arthur did not re- turmto Albany yesterday, and thus disap poluted n simul] crowd of satellites who ex- pected thelr appearance. It is now balleved they will not returt at all, Of Conkling’s defext,save through a coalition with the Deim- oerats, there Js no-longer any doubt. THe ean- not possibly be elected except by tho ald of Democratic votes, and it is by na means certain that he can effect such nn arrangement, as a number of prominent Democratle members of the Loglsiature declare that they will not join iu any fusion which binds them to support any Repubilean enndidate, It Is far more Mkely that tho polley of the Detnocrats will be to stave off nn election for the purpose of dividing tho Re- publican party In New York at the next State elcetion, and that Conkling, aware that his ense Js nt present hopetess, will consent to a postponement rather than suffer certain defeat by a vote atthis time. By so doing the Conkling men would as effectually play Into the hands of the Democracy as though they wore to openly Joln forces; but they are desperate enough to do this thing, unless wiser counsels shall tntervose and bring about Conkling’s withdrawal, ANOTHER WOBLD'S FAIR PROJEC!, The Intest notion which has seized the peo- ple of Boston ls to havo a New England Workd’s Fair in that clty in 1885, 1b Is not Altogethor a new notion, It will be remetn- bered that tha people of New York had the snine nation not long ago, and went to work nt it with constlerable yigor. Money was ralsed. Itullronds and other corporations were Interested Init, The people were ap- pealed to enorgetically, patriotically, and every other way, An organization was effectad, A sits was selected, and the thing was ultimately launched, with Gen. Grant at the helm, whose name it, was thought would lend reputation to It and Insure its success. Obstacle after obstactie, however, appeared In the way, and the worst obstucle was that no one outside of New York, and‘even in Now York very few out- side of tho organization Itself, seemed to want it. ‘Tho project recelyed no sympathy frown otherStates, and people wero utterly cullous and unconcerned about it Gen. Grant himself, fe worked at all, did go in a feoble, halt-hearted way, and finally retiraid with something Ike disgust from the Pres- idency, Thon the bubbla wont flonting along, seeking some one to give it brenth cnough to blow it up into the alr; butall to no purpose. It danced along the ground for a thne, and at last ran against 9 hard stump and collnpsed, leaving nothing but suds be- hind It, ‘The solld mon of Boston have now taken the pipe aud blown a now bubble, ‘They aro desirons that the World's Fair shalt be hold in thelr slty ti 1855, and, as New England has nayer hiul a World's Fatr, thore {8 1 good deal of excitement and Surry over the nuyelty, A meeting was held recently in Boston and & lurge committes was formed to consider the scheme and report upon st at a second mect- ing, which will be held this weok, and which is expected to Indorse it of course, as the meeting comprised only those In favor of It, Whon this lias been done, then a working comimnittes will bo formed, an organization will be effected, and the requieit machinery WII! be set in motion to secure the guaranty fund, at which point will come“ the tug of ware? ‘The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Republican says: “The cor operntion of othor States will be se. cured [2], and then arrangements will be made to secure foreign oxbibita, Ex-Gov, Rice has been spoken of as Presi- dent of the permangnt organization, It is oxpectadl that Gen, Francls A. Walker's in- terest will also be enlisted. ‘Tho newspapers aro not yet very outspoken, but some of thom, sore particularly those In the othor sections of New England, give {to cordial support, amung them the New flaven (Conn) Patadhon, which says; Tho Hotel VOndome sneeting plalnly shows that the business men of Boston are ready to du thelr part towaril the inauguration and oneryotio }yrorecution of the project, it lato by hopod hat tho ot] ed gente Now Ragland will not be beblnitiand tn showing thelr approviution af the enterpriseot Boston and inglyving ita hearty’ scooting. ‘There Je not a village fram Malone to Connectiout but what willbe henefted by n World's Fats at ioston li 1883 nd, if nothing clay, pride of section ought to Indyceuvery man, womin, and ohild iin New Hngland to give Ib hearty und nnigualitied porate By all means let uv haven Now Buglund Exposition, and lot ithua grand succeds, Itcun bo made 6u it tt unly tuken hold of in the right apirit. ‘The more eautlous Boston sldvertlacr says; “The sentinent, so fay us it has buen pub- ely expressed, favors prompt and cnergatic Action, If there are ubjections in nny quar ter, It would seem ta be equally desirable thut they should be brought into tho Nght suul tested.” It suums tous that the objec- (ons are perfuctly apparent, and were brought Into the ght and so thoroughly teatad Iu Now York that no ono In Boston need to senrch yory ourlously to And then, ‘The pretiininary meeting In Boston, ke that in New York, was pecullarty local and son- thngntal In character, When it was brought befure the busliuess mon of New York—and tho business community must be the back- bone of the concoru aad furnish all the sin- ews of war—they expressed thelr hostility to it becuuse they saw It was not the tie for it When the Now England project shalt come before the business men of + Boston, who are quite as sae Bactous and much more conservative than thelr brethren Iu Now York, it Is quite probable that they will take the same view of It, ‘They will regard it notasa matter of pride, of sentiment, or of patriotism, but of doliars and cents, Itfs pecullarly Bostontan that, at the pre- Hminary meeting, the general sentiment was to make the Fair a New Enuginud concern, 'This ts manifestly Impossible, It must ben National concern or nothing. It must have the sympathy and support of tho other Blates and the help and indorsement of the National Government to commend [t to for- eign Powers. If It should be held aud fail, its failure would not reflect upon New En- gland alone, but upon the whole country, Now, {f the managers of the Boston experl- ment want to know the feeling of tho coun- try at large, they have only to refer to the expericnees of the New York experiment. It is not Ikely popular opinion has ehanged in a few weeks, and from one ond vf the country to the other It ‘was the generat expression that {t was too soon after the Centennial to have another Fair. Even tho formor Exposition, coming Bo soon after thatat Vienna, would hardly have been n success hid it not been for the patriotic associations and glory that clustered round the Nation's centeynial, and gave It an impulse and “send-off,"—which a Fale tn 1885 cannot have, ‘Tue world hus not made progress enoigh sitee those days to warrant asuccessful Exposition, or oven to make an interesting showing, Tho thne for the next Falr should be the year 1800, or, better still, the commencement of a new century, and at that time thera will be no question about holding the Fair. Where {t should be then held, modesty forbids our naming. ‘NATIONAL" AND LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS. Tho New York Times, in discussing tho probability of National appropriations for the Hennepin Cann, tukes the ground that tt ts nota Nations! work, and therefore should recelye no such appropriations, «Exactly what Is a National work, to entitle it to be constructed nt the National cost, the Times does not point out, It seems to concede that the Erle Canal fs in no sense n National work, yet Congress for half o century hns Deen appropriating money for beltering the navigation of the Hudson River, whieh is practically qu essential part of the canal Why Is ita proper National expenditure to appropriate National money to improve the navigation of two great rivers, or systems of water coniuunication, while it is not Na- tlunal, but totally local, to construct an arti- ficiat channel connecting these rivers or systems of water communiention, there- by making them continental in thelr service to tha public? ‘The 15,000 miles of navigation. of the Mississippi and Its tribu- tarles, and tho entire Inko system, are sepn- rated bya silght ridge of land and afew miles of rock. ‘The expenditure of g comparative- ly small sum of money In the constriction of anurtifictal communication would connect these Interfor sens and Mghways; would con- noct Lake Ohamptain and the Missourt River, establishing an all-water route from Omaha to the interlor of New England; Would open to the wholo country the choice of routes to the senboard; and yet the construction of that artificial channel, which wontd inuke all the rivers and Inkes of the country one grent Nattonal system, 1s declared to be so local In its charactor that It would hua sortof trenson to pry any portion of the cost out of the Na- tional Trensury, Tho New York Tics thus dllsposes of the subject; ‘The competition of water with ral is an im- portant -fuctor In the problem of chenp trans. portation, and it is for the interest of thy people to oncotrnye it. Tho competition of rival water routos will work toward tho sume resnit and promote the woneral benolit; but when we come to considor special routes and parta of routes wo Bhull tind thatthe beneti¢ ia matniy local, Chi- cagoand New York nud the country vommer- elatly tributary to them have a common interest: in 8 water lie from tho Upper Mississippi to the Atlantio coust: Nature has furnished the lakes and the Hudson River, and thore ure ‘two links of cannl neccessary to make tho line complete, Naw York supplics ono, the targest and by far tho most contly, and hus thus {ar found it protit- able to do eo, © Why should not Itlnols or tho on- terpriso of Bor oonie and othora with the sama Interests supply tho other?

During the torty-live years following tho completion of tho eanal, after paylng for {ts construction, for its en- largement, and for {is A | and mainte. nance, the surplus receints bythe State of Now York from its tolls word somewhere nbout 875,000,000, We suppose the State of Now York at this day owes the Erie Canal, over and above al! costs and outlays, $80,000,- 000. A canal with such a reeord, which for half century haa beon extorting toll from the country, can hardly claim to be “ Na- tional,” and does well to admit that it Is a purely jocnl work We do not un derstand that the State of Iill- nols proposes to erect toll-gntes on the water routes between the West and the Enst, On tho contrary, It proposes to corde to the United States, without cost, the works on whieh the State has expunded about $18,- 000,000, and asks the Government to completes them and make this connection a free, Na- tlonal Mixhway; us freo ty all as are the rivers and lakes, If the State of New York, moved by a ke spirit, will code the Erio Canal, free of all charge, to the General Gov- ernment, that that canal may be made a free Natlonal highway, thon the Erle Canal, ceas Ing to bo a mute focal private enterprise, will becomen Natlonal wort of tho tirst impor tance, MORE TROUBLE IN THE CHUROW ‘The now organization, the Refurmed Epls- copal Churohy which, It will be remembered, split olf from the Drotestant Eptscopal Church under the leaderaliip of the late Bishop Cummins, then Assistant Bishop of Kentueky, and Blahop Cheney of this city, then Revtor of Christ Church, though less thou ten years of age, seons to have got into an internal trouble with all the ease and alae. rity of tho older denombuntions. At the thio of the split, the new Church rapldly guined headway, Dr. Sabine of Now York and Dr. Nicholson of Philadelphia joining the West orn tenders, Shortly afterwards Dean Craig, of Britta Columbia, became a Bishop and spread the nuw Church in Canada, and o benefleod clergyman of the English Estabe lished Church, Dr. Gregg, came to New York, was couscorated a Bishop, and latd the founilations for the Reformed causa hn Ene gland, : According to the Brooklyn Zagle, it is this latter clergyman whe ins commenced tho trouble, The Hayle saya; ‘The frit brench of tho peyco” Inthe ito» Toro Rplacopal Chitral oceutred its England, whore Hishop Gregg, who innde much of the Archbishop of Canterbury baying wished btm God's blessing, took upon binselt, In deviance of all canonical preoodunt, to consecrate by bins acl and of bia own independent chalvo, another Wshop in tho person of a discontented curate of Rie Churel, Of Buglund, It looked to suvercly regular talulstors ag Jf Dr. rege'’s linngipary it mMoy Wore us irrvsponsidle us the voulusiase ny usurpation, of Jeraboum, the son of Nebat, who “wade priceta of the lowest of the inte, ind whowwovur would ho consuorntod. bitiyand ho became one of tho pricetenf thy.blgh places.” Aasplit inthe Ruglish branch of the Reformed Eplscupal Cauirch wag the result. According to tho sume authority, trouble has now arisen In the Ameriean Church by the Introduction of doctrinat divisions and the proposition of some of Its more Culvin- Jatlo clergymen to make the oll orthodox 4 idea of Hell aa a place of overlasting torture one of the dogmas of Ita creed. At the eighth Gouernl Council of the Chureh, which was hold in New York fast week, the Rev, Mar- shall B. Snilth, of Passaic, N.J.. declared thot It was exsentin! to tho establishment of the Church ona basis of truth and purity that a never-ending tell should be made an article of faith, This was ‘the only Church,” he stated, “save one that did not. incorpornte that doctrine In Its creed,"—the one exception being the Protestant Eptscopal Chureh, ‘Lhe proposition was vigorously op posed byuthers upon the ground that tho doctrine fn question was non-ossential to tho falth ant the prosperity of tho infant Church, and nmong those who expressed themselves with something like disgust were Judge Savage and Gov. Woodford. ‘We are not awato what disposition was made of the question, but It certaluly Is a some- what dangerous ono to leave unsettled, os pecially in these days, when Churches are elther giving up tho doctrine or letting It suverely nfone, and will probably continue to doso, at least until the revisers of tho New ‘Testament throw some Hzht upon the rela- tions of the words “IIndes” and “ ell,” nnd categorically state what they mean, While older denow!nations are quictly avotd- ing any agitation of this somewhat unpleag- aut topic, a young denomination ike the Re- formed Episcopal must have somo temerity tointroduceit. In nearly every Church the laity are considerably in advance of thelr teachers on this doginn, and lave quietly re- Jected itor aro so Indifferent about lt that tho Prenchers haya little to say tn the premises, seeing that the horrorsof hell-fire havo but Ilt- tleeffect upon their hearers, Pending further and completa facts ns to the fecling of tho Church in this matter, itwould bo premature to mnke serious comments, but what we have already stated shows that the leaven is work- ing even in this young denomination, and that there are some rocks that It would be more prudeut to steer round than to run against. HUBBANDS AND ALIMONY. Considering the frequency of divorces and the frequent marriage of the parties to other persons, & recent decision by Judge Tuley of tho Cireult Court, which has just been aflirmed by the Supreme Court of the State, is both interesting and important, especially ns ft is the first Judiclat decision of the polnts Involved. It appears that A and Batter having been married several years were divorced, and that, in view of tho husband's cireumstances and business, the wife was awarded alimony atthe ratoof Spor month. ‘Lhe divoree was granted in July, 1870, and the allmony was paid regularly until the Ist of February, 1880, when the husband refused to pay any more, He also applied in March to tho Clreult Court for n moditication of the decree award- ing alhmony, on two grounds; Ono of these was that there had been a serious declino in the profits of his business, and tho other and the more serious was, that on the Mth of Janunry, 1880, hls divorced wife had married anothor husband, Judge ‘Tuley dectled that tho first husband was cn- titled to relief, He modifled the preeeding deeree by reducing the allowance for all- mony to the nominal sum of $1 por year, pay- able at the end of the year. From this decision thera was an appeal taken to the Appellate Court, which reversed the declston below, but the case bolhg taken to the Supreme Court, that tribunal overruled the Appellate Court, and sustained Judge Tuley. On the part of the wife, the applicn- tlonfor suspunsion of the payment of alimony was resisted on two grounds: first, that the finanelal ability of her first husband to con- tinue to pay the aliujony awarded her by the original deereo was unchanged; and, sec- ondly, that the tncothe of thesecond husband. (875 por month) was Insuflictent after dis- ehurging other obligations resting upon hin to afford her adequate support. From this it appears that the Indy, as a divorced wife, reculved as alimony S720 n year, and that the joint Income of tho lady and her new husband was 81,020 g year. Ench contrib- uted n fair and reasonable proportion for the support of tho newly-formed household; but. It also appeared that the first husband's re- fusal to pay tho allmony caused a serious shrinkuge in the Joint capital.” Sho lost all her separate icome, and the now husband assumed the cost of her maintenance. Finan- cinlly, ns it has turned out, the speculation did not prove to ben successful one, ‘Tho reasoning by which the Court reached itseonelusions in this case will strike the genoral renderns entirely satisfactory. ‘Iho Court adheres to the old-fashioned theory that when a man marries a wife he assumes, the obligation to support and inalutain her, according to his means, In the manner and style appropriate to her condition. The Su- promo Court says: The lmpresalon mado by tho dootrine of the common law that by marriage busband and wife ure one person in juw has not been entirely ro- moved trom tho mind by mnalern legistation, ho obligation Implivd 8 the marital relation resting on tho buabaud to support bls wife re- mains, having all tho binding eitleacy tt bad at common law, ‘The Court, reasoning from this standpoint, declares that for this reason alhmony ts that allowance which tho Court makes to a di- yoreud wife for her support out of the estate of her husband, enforelng tha husband's ob- ligation to maintain his wife, even after sep- aration, ‘The Inngunge of tho Court Is; Accordingly it Js found the principle on which alimony is yivon to the divorced wife ts, It is the equivalent of that obligation Implied In over; mirringe contract, the husband shall furnish hfe wife whut ahull be ieomod a guttable aupport, saul degree with bis pecuniary abil- ty and socint standing, and from any further performance of his inarriuge ovligation In thut rogurd hy fa absolved by the decrau of divorcs, ‘The allowance of allmony ceases with the death of the wife and does not oxtend to her reprosentatives, and therefore the Court hokls that, “ rengoning from analogy, It would seom that, when for any cause tho alimony decreed becomes unnecossary-for the support of the wife, or. when elreum- atnnees transpire that mako It inequitable she should lave further allowance, tt would bo reasonnble and proper for the Court to absolve tho husband from the burdens im- posed by the decree,” To which the Court pointedly ndds; “It would be diflloult to suggest or concelte any canse that would present grounds more ‘reasonable ant proper! for suspending further payment of Aihnony than the subsequent marriage of the divorced wife,!? a ‘Treating alimony as the equivalent forsup- port which arises in fayor of the wife out of tho marriage contract, and which ts lokt whan that contrnet Is anniled by the di- yore, the Court polnla out that the wife ob- tuins tho same obligation for support when sho mikes n sccoul mairinga, ‘The Court does not seom to favor alimontuus wives, Tt seus to think that they must be off with the ono husband before gotting @ contract from another, ft declares tliat it would be unrea- sonable that sho should demand an equiva: lout for a support from one Jusband while holding a contract for Adequate support from another, ‘Thore“ednnot ba two all mnonles ut one thie in Ultnols, - ‘Tuy evidence that the frlonds of Mr. Conke Hing did not succeed in gutting a majority of tho Republican wmembery, orOftyefour, to sign tha call for a caucus ig complpte.
