Tue English Liberals suffered another significant defeat in. North Durham yester- day. Sir George Elliot, the ‘Tory-“‘ Fair- | Trade” candidate, was elected for that con- stituency by a Jarge majority. The vote { stood: Eliot (Tory) Laing (Liber At the general election.of last year the two Liberal candidates for the constituency stood at the head of the poll. ‘The figures were: Col. Joleey (Liberal). Palmer (Liberal) Sir Georze Elliot (Tor At will be seen that while the Liberal can- ditate. at yesterday’s election polled 1,327 votes less than the teading Liberal candidate in 1880, the ‘Lory candidate polled 472 votes more than ho did at that time. ‘The falling of in the Liberal vote is partly due to Pa nell’s advice to the Irish electors to abstain from voting or to vote for the Tory candi- date, and partly to the “ fair-trude” agita- ty nas: re of truops reported | ‘Thursday last Gen. Carr's | force, consisting of 110 men and s cers, Were attacked about utirty-tive miles from Camp Apuche, Arizona, in the White Mountain Reservation, close ty the New Mexican c, by a foree of about Apaches under Chief Piedry, and nearly every man—if not every man—was killed. The attack was commenced by an Indian { scouting party attached to Gen, Carr's com- mand, aut Piedro’s warriors coming up immediately surrounded the command and cut off all chanec of escape. It is also reported that the — red- i skins captured Fort Apache, where . Gen. Carr's wife and the wives of some other officers were staying. The fate of the poor women may be imagined. There seems to | be no doubt that Gen. Carr, one of-the bray- est officers of the army, Lieuts. Carter, Cruse, Stanton, and Dr. MeCreery were among the number killed. Troops have been dispatched tothe seene of the «disaster from every point in the Western regions. ANorn Tue election of Mr. Lowther, the Tory candidate, in North Lincoinshire, is re- garded by the Morning Post, the organ of the “New Departure” and “Fair Trade” Tories, asa great triumph, and will probably have { the effect of makmg “fair trade” as opposed to free trade the leading political issue in England for some time tocume. Lowther, in returning thanks for his eleetion, did not seek to disguise the meaning of his victory, and promised his Tory hearers that his party would show much more activily for the | future in urging a return to what he was pleased to call “sound commercial prin- eiples. The rural constituencies of England strongly oppose free trade, and ever since the adoption of Cobden’s program. have been hankering after protection. The present season, when the English farmer has been almost ruined by the weather, is an op- portune one for the Tory politicians to raise the issue. They can for the time being per- suade the English farmers that American and French competition is responsible tor much of the agricultural depression. ‘Any- thing is good enough for 2 Tory election ery.” The urban constituencies, where the voters want cheap bread and meat, have not yet spoken on this issue. When they do, we Inay be certain that they will not declare Must free trade. hf THE ERA OF VIOLENCE. There has not been a day during the past week that Ti: Trmunr has not recorded one or more attempts of persons in this city i kill others with the revolver or knife. ‘Lhe record is uot cuutined, however, fo the pist week, ts parallel can be found in the columns of Tim Trimcnxr for months past. Scarcelya day has passed without its mur- der, and not a day without one or more des- perate deeds of violence, Although the past week is hardly up to the average, its record is sufliciently di ceful and bivody. On Sunday last Tis Trincunxr reported an at- tempied murder of one eplored man by another, because the former had failed to pay his rent. On Monday one man was shot by another. -On ‘Tuesday a woman set off ner isan toshoot am one nnn Was stabbed i another i and an employé fn a packing-hous Stabbed his foreman. On ‘Thursday a printer in a seufiie was shot aud Killed in some mys- terious manner, and the tragedy was rounded olf by the sudden death of the person sup- posed to have shot him, On Friday one teamster nearly pounded another to death with a stone, amanina tight with a was stabbed three times, and in tween feur roughs two of-them were shot. ‘Yesterday's record included uo boys verely cut by anuther boy but 17 yea age, and a man accidentally shot by adetect- ive. It is a fitting conclusion to this record of crime that a erazy man should runa-nuck in our streets and shoot five of our citizens! Aud this has not been a xood week either for the kuite and Ue revolver. ‘There has never been it tine in the history of Chicago when crime has been iore fre- | anent and criminsls of every hue have plied usually shut or stabbed. ts of hoodlamns infest some lovalit: rreling, stabbing. shooting, or others zens who happen tv come in Ss every night, drinking, tient, When neg assa ‘ithont moles Audit mney » OD our 3, thieves, agubonds Fighting iu these dens is mit ovcurrence, and murder not in- frequent, and yet they are nut closed. ‘They boldly flaunt themselves in the good ¢itizens, ‘ause they know that the authorifies will not interfere with them. ‘They hang out their baits to allure the un- wary with brazen effroutery.

Jnall this, perhaps Chieago fs not worse off than other large cities, though in other cities these pests of society are compelled to keep themselves and. their uncleantiness away from the public saze, and the rufiians, and bullies, and murderers are punished for their offenses. In this respect, the condi- tion of Chicago is deplorable. ‘Scores upon seores of murders have been committed here during the past few years, and not one of the murderers has been haured. Vio- Jence of every sort is rampant in our.streets, and therois uo protection against it, ‘The police are either ineflivient or else they are powerless tu prevent it, “Lhe authorities pay no attention to it, ‘The best Mayor Chicago jhas ever hid sits in his easy chair and gives no heed to it, or passes it off wilha joke when his attention iscalledtoit. ‘There isno personal security from danger on our public streets. ‘There are laws against the carrying of deadly weapons. ‘hey are not enforced.

Some head must be made against this torrent ofyerime, some assurance of security must be given by the administrators of Law, or the citizens will take the matter into their own hands and enforce the laws for thetiselyes. When that time comes these dens of vice will be swept out of sight; thestreeis will be made secure; murderers will be hanged. Jt may be a des- perate remedy, but the disease is a desperate one. If the authorities are wise thoy will look to if. COLLECTING CHURCH TOLLS. England has had some disturbing ques- tions of policy strongly presented of late years. Inthe recent Land bill tie Govern- ment has madea great departure from its ancient policy in the matter of I:tnd tenures: in Ireland. especially in giving to all leases aA permanency of fifteen years, and in estab- ya special tribunal to determine all stions as to the rentai value of the land, thas also made an even greater departure in the way of offering to loan to tenants” three-fourths of the purehase price in order. that they may become proprictors. ‘These wise concessions. to Ireland will naturally lead toa demand that they be also extended to the fafmers of England and Scotland. The “English Parliament a few years ago disestablished the Church ii Ire- land, and since that time there has been a grewing party demanding the disestablish- ment of the Church in England. Just now the country is agitated by the’demand of a newly organized party, which seeks a de- parture from the long-established free-trade policy of England, and the adoption of a reciprocal trade, or in lieu thereof the sys- tem of retaliatory. duties. Parliamentary reforms in the way of man- hood suffrage and representation according to numbers are possible within a reasonable time, and when these have been secured there will be a general movement in favor of the disestablishment of the Chureh in England. It often happens that a trifling cireumstance will precipitate even a revolution. and that the special defenders of a special abuse them- selves often furnish the pretext by some ill- advised proceeding for the speedy abolition of such abuse. . A recent case of the demand and the enforcement of that demand, bya rector of @ parish in Kent, England, has at- tracted great attention and discussion in that country, and it is more than likely that this ease will go far, not merely towards the abo- lition of the clerical right, but to the radical result of the disestablishment of the Church. ‘The question was one of tithes. Formerly, the clergyman of each parish was entitled to receive from his parishioners tithes, ‘or one- tenth of the product of the land. After va- rious changes of the law, running through several centuries, tithes were changed into a eharge upon the land, payable annually in the shape of rent, the amsqnt being ascer- tained avcording to theyaverage price of corn -or wheat during, }pren preceding years. These are ordinayy tithes, but there is known tothe kuw what are called extraor- dinary tithes, or special tithes, when the land is of a superior value and produces a greater or more valuable crop. ‘This is made to ap- ply to gardens, hop-fields, ete., where the yield is greater and of a greater value than. the wheat-fields.

In England it is especially irksome, because there the clergy who receive these tithe-rents repre- sent but 2 fraction of the people whe have to pay them. - The result is inevitable, a popular antagonism to the Church. which the law empowers to coliect them, TEE PRESIDENT AND HIS SURGEONS. Jt is ground, for substantial encourage- mentin the President’s case that the most favorable outside expert.opinion of his con- dition emanates from a very high medical and surgical authority—the London Lancet. It pronounces the fall of the patient's tem- perature and his less frequent pulse “a thoroughly safe criterion of _ inereasing strength,” and “the evidence of the si dience of blood-poisoning” ; and adils: “This, together with the improved power of dizes- uon, the abilily to sleep soundly, mental clearness and cheerfulnes: Yords solid grounds for a hope of recovery.” The Lan- cctregards the President's strong constitu- tion asan important factor in the case. It 2 “The case is a striking illustration of the power of 2 good constitution to held up against illness that would certainly have ied a feebler person.” ‘The Lancet conctudes: “ But another fail- urein the President’s digestive powers or syinptoms of blood-polsoning might at any time turn the balance against him, and what we have hitherto insisted upon so often we aye bound to repeat—that: President Garfield will not be out of danger until the wound Is healed.” . This may be accepted as the most trust- worthy outside expert estimate of the Presi- dent's actual condition, and of his chances of recovery, yet given to the public. It may be presuined to be entirely free from pro- fessional envy and jealousy, and as much cannot be said of many of the opinions of American surgeons. But it is based on precisely the same knowledge of the ci as the local opinions, and is therefore entitled to more weight. It may be assumed, too, that the Lancet in the main approves the treatment of the case so far as it is known tothe public; for it can have no motive to conceal its views, or withhold adverse crit- icism if occasion calls for it. , This carefully-considered, clearly-deliy- ered opinion ought to go far to relieve tho Presigent’s surgeons: of the irritation and annoyance of severe and necessarily un- informed strictures. ‘No surgical’ case ever involved moze ‘respo! The strain upon the aitending surgeons has been imn- mense. ‘To their natural solicitude in behalf of « patient so illustrious, and their pride of professional reputation at stake before the world, has-been added the public anxiety and impatience, to spur them to a supreme effort.

The surgeons have borne the oppro- brium heaped upon them with rare patience and meekness, but it must have irritated them sorely, and toa degree weakened their power to grapple with the case confided to their eare and skill, From this on it is to be hoped that confidence will take the place of distrust, and words of encouragement the place of carping criticism, slander, and de- traction. 3 ‘The country may well adopt the views of * the London Lancet, and take heart of rea- sonable hope. There was atime when the President’s powerful will codperated with the surgeons In every effort of ‘scientific skill. There was another time when the poisoned blood mounted to the brain and almost dethroned it, when the patient's mind wandered, and the'strong man lay helptess, with no power jJonger to struggle. it was in that moment of almost universal despair that the modest, quiet wife exhibited the majesty of true womunhood~that woman- hood which never ceases to hope and never ceases to struggle. That time is happily past. Outof the very valley of th ne shadow of death God, the noble wife, the surgeons, and the purses brought back the President. Once more the reason of the patient is clear and unclouded., Once more his will asserts itseli, becomes an important factor in the problem of life or death, and tips tne scale in favor of life. Hope has taken the place of despair—hope in the Executive Mansion, hope in the hearts of all the people. h THE IMPEDIMENTA OF TRAVEL. in these days; when every one ‘travels, except those happy ones who can’t afford it and those philosophical ones who can ford It but stay at home because it is more comfortable, the question of impedimenta i becoming # serious one, first to the traveler, second to thuse who help him travel. “By PROVINCIALISM. ‘a A recent articleina New York daily news- paper, Which was designed to bring the Western visitors of the season into ridicule, has occasioned considerable discussion throughout the country. The article was certainly in very bad taste, since those who are ineluded under the general term of “Western,” which was used as a synonym for provincial, have built up the trade of New York, and enabled the nowveaur ‘riches of that city to go abroad in such vast numbers and misrepresent the American character in Europe. article was thoroughly characteristic of New York, and really provincial toa degree of Which a Western city would be ashamed.
