Though he has served under two Presidents, he has been In ofllea Tess than ten months, aud in thot short tine hos exposed the rascallties of thastar-route business, and, though they have not been punished, has at least exposed them so thor oughly that they aro substantially broken up. Ho has also greatly increased the eM- clonoy of the service, and reduced Its ex- penses. He hns not orily shown himself pos- tessed of great ability, but In a time of un- asital public trial has manifested couraga and devofion te the public Interests, It will bea dificult task to fill his place. Baineny at elections is nt Inst recelving the Attention of the Engilsh courts, Iitherto bribery has been openly practiced without {car of legal consequences, but on the 20th ult, several persons convicted of the offense were sentenced. Two ot the rascals at Mae- cleslicld were sentenced to imprisonment for nine months, a solicitor at Deal tosixmonths, Town Councilor at -Sandwich to alx months, and a farmer who had helped him Tecelved tho same sentence, No diserimina- ton wil be ‘shown the defendants, ns com- pared with other prisoners, as they will all niffer tho rigors of ordinary tmprisonment, and the solicitor will be debarrod from prac- tleingar holding local offcc, ‘The London Thnes says the Government “has made up its mind to try to clear away the corruption that permanently pollutes not a few constit- uencles,” Tue Guiteau trial yesterday was, If pos sible, something more of a farce thun on any previous day, ‘The assasin was more tine pertinent, abusive, and brutal than ever be- fore; Scovitlu resorted to the most frlvolous exceptions and objections, such ag refusing to hear the tertimony of Guiteau’s former wifo. until the record of her divorce could be Produced; and even Afra, Scoville undertcok to question witnesses, Judge Cox seems to have lost alt contro! of the case, whicl is now & “go-as-you-please”’ contest for the acquit- talof Prestilent Garfleld’s murderer, Scoville maintained in hls lecture that the American peopte are on trial to determine whether or not an uceused person shall havea falrshow, but If the people of othercountriestook upon this trial at Washington as a sample of American judiclal inethods, !t Is very certain that they will entertain a contempt for them, whother Guiteau be convicted or acquitted, ———— Tue Jntest development in the star-route rasenlity Is ono of the most ragcally of all the explolts of that preclous gaug of rascals, It Js a route 200 tiles Jong In Nevada, A stage- driver took tho contract nt first for 95,000, and of course failed soon after It was awaril- edtohim.

And yet sucha meni steal ad this, which was indorsed by Senators Jones and Sharon, it appears cannot. be punished! “Pops Bon," otherwiso the gental, witty, and amusing Ingersoll, haa given half an hour of his time to n consideration of the aubdject of reform In the offetnl hablts of tho Presicent of the United States. Ie declares that the White Honse isa “horrid, cheerless ult batrack.” lie anys the Governmént ought togive the President a house which should be his castle, and into whlch 10 man shoultenter unless invited. He wants the President to have, a private secretary capn- bie of saying “ No” to about ninety-nine ont of overy-Intndted callers at the Presidential mansion, sv that the Presideut’s privacy shallsiot bo interrtipted by the “Amertean citizen from Gilligan's Atte, who ts invari- ably consumed by a desire to talk over the political situation with the Nation's Execit- tive, In oFder that upon fils return to Giill- gan’s Mills ho may talk over in the barroom tho fact that ho talked over the political sttu- ation with the “Great Father” at Washing- ton. There shdtld be a botter system at the White Honge, exctaims Mr. Ingersoll, so that the President ean have “glx hours a day for piny.” Hid wants ttle receptions discontin« ued, because they are “an imitation of mou- archy,” and because “they convert the Presi- deut Inton pump” and give everybody “a chance to take iverk at thie haidle.” Mr, Angersoll probably overlooks the faot that now and then the Incumbett of the Presiden- tlal office destres to'hecome n candidate for reBlection. ‘Iho aspirant for a second term can hardly afford to hide himself away froin “the dear people.” Tt he wants thelr sut- frages, he must smile upon then, If he wants them to run a machine for his benefit, ho must furnish off to greaso It, in the shape of offices. He van hardly trust his private secretary to distribute the oll, ‘That oftelat night say “No” to the chief of the machino ft Gilligan’s Mills! President Arthur has indleated the only way in which tte office hunting madness ean be eured—by law. Anything else is mere patchwork. paaeenehenneeaee eaaaeialbenily THE PRESIDENT'S CONIRACLION POLICY. The Now York fhnes aifeets grent concern because Tie Cmicaco Trmunk has had the temerity to criticise the Onanefal recommen- dations In “the citlm and judicious message of President Arthur’ and “the clear aud Jnpartiat report of Secretary Folger.” ‘Thesa recommendations embrace (1) the stspension of sliver coinnge nt the discretion ot the Secretary; (2) the retirement of the 683 millions of silver certificates outstanding, ant prohibition of any further Issue thereof; ani (3) the repeal of the Jegal-tender prop- erty of the greenbacks, Sccretary Folger urgeg ail threo of these measures, and the President explicitly approves of tha first two and tacitly assents to the third. ‘There can be no doubt the three together contribute 0 comprehensiye scheme of contraction, which the New York Times fully Indorses, though itdentes the agency of Wall street In orig- Inating them, Tho favor which these recommendations receive from the Times aud other New York Journals attests, nevertheless, that this sweeping contmiction scheme is a “ New, York Idea,” and the logical results of its adoption as the financial polley of the Gov- ernment warrant tho conviction that It ema- nates from the moneyed classes of that sec- tion, : ‘The policy is one that: should be discussed on Its merits, oe 1, As to the proposed suspension of silver colnage, 8 point fs sought te be made by the Times on Tue Timuny In the fact thats similar suggestion has been mado by Mr. Burchard, Director of the Mint, who fs a Western man and was a bimotalilst, But is It falr to suppress ‘the other fact that Mr. Burchard's suggestion in’ favor of the temporary suspension of silver colnaga stands alone, and lg not’ supplemented by i recommendation that the 68 inillions of sil- ver certificates be retired and tho 850 mill- ions of xreenbacks be demonetized? Mr. Burchard ts one of those who believe that international agreement on the double stand- ard can be accelerated’ by a temporary sus: pension, of silver colnago In thls country, and he bases his suggestion'on that faith and. for that object. ‘The -recomendation of Sec- retary: Folger, approved by the President, grows out of hostility to silver naa constit- uent part of-the American monetary system, This fact {s evidenced by a weal and gratu- ftons’ discussion of the question whethor United Stntes bonds may be pad In silver as well as gold, and .by yorlous hostile reflec- tlons on the presence of silver. as part of the legal-tuncer woney stock, 2 ‘Kho President and his Secretary of tho Trensury would supplement, the susponsion of allyer colnngo by the retirement of the 68 millions of silver certificates, As the case stands now, the entire amount of coined silver is represented in the working curroncy of the country. Botween 80,000,000 and 40,000,000 of silver dollars tn addition to the $50,000,000 of subsidiary silyer is about ns large a stock of that coin as, the people need fof pocket-money and small transactions ns long as they are suppitud with small bitls, ‘This may be anid ta compose the actlve speclo or * pocket coln” ot the country ina universal system of amnll bilis’ and bani checks. Buta safe and convenient way was demanded for the fucther ciréulation of silver, Wnich wns afforded by the Issue of certifl- cates for the accual deposit of silver dollars, ‘Thore haa been na lack of demmnd for them, The allver notes have been tssued to an amount equal to the entire coinage of allyor dollars outside the silver dollars which are elrctilating among the people in the form of coin, ‘They are exchangeable at any moment and in any amount for legal-tender coln, They are a part of the clrowlnting medium of tho country, atid cannot be retired without contracting the currency to the extent of §{8,000,000, the auiount now outstanding, nor prohibited in the futuro without stunting tho expansion of the curroncy In propurtion to the Increase of population and the growth of trade, Thy banks cannot be rolled upon to sup. ply the additional currency that may bo needed, because they thud that the necessary cupital to do it must be Invested at a rate of about 3 per cent, after allowing for the cnor- mous premluin they must pay to obtain 4 por cent bonds and the 1 per cent tax on clretilns, tion. Tho proposition to abandun silver notes, therefore, can have nu othor result, as the New York Times well kuows, than a serioua contraction of the currency now and In the future with the sole purpose of enabling the monometallists to pont ta.an unemployed ac- cumulation of sliver dolitrs in the ‘lreasury vaults as an argument In favor of demonetlz- ingallver, “Silver won't olroulate,” Is the favorit thoory of thesy gentlomen; but all the ‘colned sitver is In actual ctreutation either as colu or {0 the shape of certificates, which 3s not truo of the. gold coln in the country, and this fact galls Arthur, Folger, the Thnes, and the Now York golilites gon: erally. ss 8, ‘The New York T'tnee says: As to thu sugxested unconatitutionality loyul-tendor auatity of United Gentes natae tates usted by Folger] when could it be wore sately cated than sow When the notes are worth dutlar for dollar ay much a8 solu?

Why present stich a question to Congress? If it shonld rapeal the legal-tender quality of the green- bneks that act would not settle tho question of the constitutional legat-tenior qunitty at this time, It woul! simply abolish 950 mltl- fons of dobdt-pasing money—leaying nothing but gold inn erlsts when the creditor would demand legal-tonder money. Is it wise or prudunt to place the enterprising and debtor classes witisin the grasp of a ring of capital Ists who may make a corier on the available coin tn the country whet the next paule cufnes, or who may maken panto by corner ing the coln when In consequence of crop failure the balance of trade turns against this country and the stock of gold is flowing out? ‘5 4, What Is the purpose of raising the ques- tion of the constitutionality uf the legal- tener notes? It is n question that npparetit- ly does not trouble tho people. ‘fhe Su- preme Court sustained the constitutional Isstte of $400,000,000 of érredecinahle legal. tender notesas a foreed loan inade necessary by the exigencles of war. That portion of this Issue now outstanding consists of te deemabte Government notes—a very differ- ent condition—nnd the Supreme Court hins nover by any decision gnst x doubt upon their constitutionnlity, Why should Con- gress be asked to discuss n constitutlonal question as preliminary fo, 0 repeal of the Jegal-tender function ot the greenbacks pond- {ng the silence of the Supreme Court and the Aeqttlescence and approval by the people of the existing condition of things? 6, 'The notes of the Banks of England and Germany are legal tender, ‘The notes of the Bank of France are legal tender when- evar the Government so directs. ‘The notes issued by all the Governments of Europe are legal tender tf thne of pence or war whether they are redeemable or not. It would be devmed unsafe for any European Govern- mont to be divested of auy authority to Issue logal-tender notes whenever the nattonal {n- terests seemed to require them, Where Is the harm or danger of retulning the sane quality for the Government paper of this country while its redeemable in specto on demand, and what is tho object In abandons ing a debt-paying currency which has tho confidence of tne people and the backing of specio?, . if unfavorable conilitions, stich as the stc- cessive failure of two or three crops, should deplete this country of its stock of xold na rapldly ns that stock has been accumulated during the past threes yours, what advantage would there be In the absence of nn avalla ble currency for paying debts? Wotld such & condition serve to nvert or abate the dan- gors and sufferings of a panic? : These three flnancial recommendations of tho Acting Administration must bo consid- ered together. ‘They mean preelsely what Tite Tisunr has stated: 0 reduction of the debt-paying money of the country to the mere supply of gold aloné, whethor that be miueh or little, It 1s not wossible to argue them ont to any other concliuslon, and the Now York Times docs not attempt to do so, Whethor ornot Mr, Arthurand his Secretary, Folger, reflect the views of Wall street in urglag ‘sitet wholesale contraction, it 1s cor tain that the only bencfictarles of the change would be those who have loaned money and Invested in mortgages on houses and Innds and other sectirittes on the presunt basis, and that the chief sufferers would bo those who would owe cheap money and woul! bo re- quired to pay. 1a dear money, and louk toa shrunken volume of tegal-tender out of which to pay their debts. ‘he proposition is one-sided, selfish, and unfair on its face. The New York Tintey may be abluto recone elle its conscience to the support of such an evil project on the ground that It serves Its moneyed readers with the opinions which they want, though that is a questionable the- ory of. morals; but to the country at large this sweeping contraction polley isa National affair, to bo decided on its merits, and with out reference to lucal or class Interests. REFORM THE ORIMINAL CODE! ‘The present novement for a reform of the methods of criminal procedure in Ilnols began In this way: Tho Commercial’ Club of Chicago ap- polnted this subject for discussion nt its monthly dinner two weeks age: ‘Is Criine In Hlinols Adequately Punished; and, if Not, Why? ‘Che ‘membership of tho club is strictly Hinited fo sixty. But cach member Js privileged to bring ono guest, On. tho ov caslon referred to, Judges of. the Suprema Court of the State and of the Superior and Clreult Courts of the county, volley mags: trates, State's-Attorneys, and City-Attorneys Wero invited to be present ‘and to uxpress thelr views. ‘Tim Tiununs tlxo was repre- sented. By w rule of the association, newspnper reports of its proceedings are prohtbited. ‘The knowledge that such.a rule was In force encouraged the speakers te indulge in much freedoin of critleisin, and. to express thom- solves without reserve ns to the reforms they deemed desirable. While the syeech-inaking was confined for the must part to lnwyers, comment was general, Out of the views of many {t was posalbla to get not only what the lawyers thought about the lume erlmiant dows of LMnols, but what tho business com- munity had In Its mtud to say of the Inw and the Iawyers and the adnilnistration of the forinor by tho latter, ‘The common opinion of buatness-men in Chicago fs that the [tnols code of criminal Procedure Is sntiquated and ‘wretchedly de- fective, aud ought to bo radically amended, The fault ls not so much with the lawyers or the courts as with the jaw Itself. Nor can tt be sald that the bettur portion of the city bar is much Interested fn the criminal Inws. Compuratively few of them have a criminal practice, or would fave tt if they could. ‘Lhe inischlet has been dono by cuuntry lawyers who have a mixed elvit and erlminal prac tlee, and-have used their inlluence tn the Luglslature, which most of them attend when they have a:chunce, to prevent any Tefurm that slinil have the cifect of abridge Ing the practice of criminal puttlfoggurs, who earn thele Iving by defeating justice and saving erluluals frum‘the ponaitles due to thelr erlunes, .

A MISSING CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, In President Arthur's mossngo to Congress he cals the attention of that boily to several serious questions of vital Importance to the peace nnd Integrity of the Unton, on which questions thero are wide differcnces of opinion, which have niready threatencd olvil war, and which demant the carliest possible determination by au explicit constitutional delinttion. ‘The whole country shares in this anxiety of the Presidert, and most earnestly seconds his appeal that Congress will, with- out delay, take nctlon towards remedying the defects and supplying the necessary omls- sion In the Constitution, Pertinent to tits important matter of remedsing defects In the Constitution thera {s another point not monttoned In President Arthur's message, and thatis, the loss—the thuo, place, and manner unknown—of an artlele, section, or clause of the Constitution Which, {rom its very character, Is part of the grand charter of the rights and prerogatives of the members of the Legislative Department of tho Government. Tifty- threa mililons of free, {ntelilgent, and datermined peopte walt with breathiess impatience the decision of a question of con- stitutional right which has alona become disputable beeauso by the neglect of some official at some time fn the early history of the Government that part of the Constitu- tlon governing tho matter was lost or mis- Jatd, ‘The question at this time has becoma of thrilling {nterest becausvof circumstances which may bo thus stunted: ‘The City of Chicago, in the State of Illi- nots, ins been established by lnw ast portof entry, and Is provided by the same Inw with aCollector of Customs. ‘The person at pres- ent holding the ofico {s named “Smith? ‘This gentleman was appoluted four yoars ngo on his merits, atid his term has explred, but he continues to perform the duties untit such time as-the President can without plunging the country {nta chaos appoint a successor, a ‘The State of Ilnols, including the Clty of Chicago, fs ropresentedt in Congress by two Senators and twenty-one Representatives, ‘That prirtot the State included fn Chicago hins three Representatives, all Republicans, One of the Senators only Is recognized as a Republican; the other ts Independent—very, With this explanation the reader will under- stand the constitutional diflcu Ity now exlist- ing at Washington. A number of persons have applied not to the President, but to Gen, Logan, the Son- ator, and to Messrs. Farwell, Davis, and Alte rloh, Representatives, to bo appointed Col- lector at Chicago, and it is understuod that each of these has selected a person for the places and the questtou at issue 1s, does the constitutional right and authority of appolut- ing the Collector at Chicago belong to the Senntor or to the Representatives ? In the Constitunon as it was until Gen, Jackson’s thue, when a scetion dropped out and was lost, ft was written that thé Presi dent “shall nominate and by and with the advice and congent of the Senate appoint” all the officers of the Government of the United States provided for by law. ‘Chis in- eludes the Collector pf Ciiicago. No.person at Washington, however, 1s now rash enough to claim or to assert that tho Presidont tas any constitutional authority in tho matter. Tho President. who pretended to have such authority pald the penaity in a‘ prompt assasination, It is therefore now unquestioned that, the power to appolnt the officer rests: with tha Senator or Representa- tives, But which? E Gen, Logan,’ asserting’the theory of Sen- atorlal prerogative, clalms that, thero boing no other Ropublican Senator from the State, ho has the right to namo tho Culleator, and eltes ns proof of hls clalin that he has ap- pointed the two Marshals of the State, all the Collectors of Internal Revenue, and the Post- master nt Chicago; lic holds this right, sub- ject only to. the conditions that the persons appointed shall. be Republicans and shall have been in favor of the third term in the past. Per contra, Mr. Farwoll in hls brief, white conceding that the constitutional power In this case rests with tlie Senate, dentes that It thus rests exclusively, or atall times, Ho inalntains that when the Collector's office is in o district represented by Democrats then the Senatorin prerogative ts in force; but when tho Representative of the district Is a Topublicun, then the prerogative of the Rop- resentative ty superior to tliat of the Senator, Aldrich and Davis strenuously support this viow. As wo have already sold, fifty-threa millions of people are walting for tho decision of this question. i We have carefully read tho Constitution, the papers ‘of the Federalist, all the com- mentaries on the Constitution, have hunted through the declalons of the courts, have searched the writings of Madison, Jefferson, Hanullton, and tho oulnions of the Attornoys- Genoral, and haya been unable to flad any sunmestion: that the power to appoint any oMcer of the United States was ever con- stitutionally vested {neither Sonntors or Ropresontatives., We havo read over aguln the resolutions and platforms of all the po+ litleal parties of the country, and the read- ing ns been tu vain, Wé have, therefore, come to the conclusion that the missing sco- tion of the Constitution must have been lost about the tlme that Jackson adopted tha gpoila system, and that tho Senators and Representatives acquired’ the appointing power, more or lesa, during that histerleal Administration. Would it not be well for the Judictury Committaes of tha two Houses to muke an investigation, sending for per sons and payers, and report to tha Nation what has become of this old. Executive pre-’ rogutlve, the appointing power, and how It beeatis yosted In the mombors of thelr hon- orable bodies ? ‘ dunar Roorns has finally appointed Mfon- day noxt 08 the ting for the hearing of argue ments on the motion fora new trial In the cuseof the convicted felon Prince Albert Jones, This is an intoresting cuse. Tho accond verdict returned by the Jury against Jones was found Sept, 15 last, A motion tor anew trial was Immodiately entered, The heyring hus been staved off on one ingentous pretext and another from that thinc to this, Jt bas thus taken moro than three months to dispose of a sluple motion for a now trial, Wo doubt if the practice of any of the courts In the United States will afford a parallel to this delay for such a purpose, Thu rocord in Jones’ cage ts almost 48 frultfut’ as in the case of Friedberg.

The Stato's-Attorney twas finally cont- pelled to ttolle pros, the indletment for man slaughter for the remarkable reason that th ovidence tonded to show malice on the part of the recused, and hence would not sufftee forconviction of manslaughter. An fillet ment for murder was thorefora returned, and Jones was fond guilty and given a Iife sen- tonee.

THE RELATIONS OF GERMANY AND THE VATICAN. ‘The oxact condition of the relations be- tween the German Government and the Vati- cnn have at last been stated by Prince Bls- marck himself. The announcement was made In answer to an ‘Interpelintion of Bis- marek by Prof. Virchow, the renowned surgeon, who Is the Jenter of tho “Cultur- kampf” (which he himself has detined ns the struggle for civilization arising from the an- tagonism between Church and State) and the head of the Progressist party, The ques- don hsked by the Professor touched upon the present condition ot the negotiations between. the Government and Roine, ‘The answer of Prince Bismarck will un- doubtedly cause very general surprise, for he declared with great emphasts that, so far as tho Government Itself was concerned, no negotlations whatever lind taken place be- tween the German E:mplre and the Papal Chalr. Whnt Js true of the Empire, however, It appears is not true of Prussin, for tho Kingdon has been in negotiation with tho Vatiean to an extent which Bismarck frankly stated. ‘Tho gist of hls statement was to the effect that Prussia felt it was her duty to consider the interests of her Catholic people from the point of view of tho temporal power of Romo and tho Romish Chair; and, with this purpose in view, he intended to ask for an appropriu- tlon with the view of rendering possible direct relations and negotiations as to pur- sonal and local matters... Furthermore, he fippticd himself to secure this object through Prussia, not from any considerations of principle, but purcly from o business staud- point; and he claimed that not only Prussin, but overy other Gorinnn State, hnd the right to trent directly with the Vatican, in the in- terests of thelr Catholic subjects, as to busi- ness matters, In convluslon, Prince Big marek sald, in substance: He hadto put himaolf tho question whother tho Cathelle Courch was to bo regarded a8 n foreign Snatitution, and he bad ‘thought bimaelf bound to furut # nogative conclusion on the subject. Hur whllo-ho thug teld todividual representa - Yon to be thaly pritadey caurse, te would wlta- gether exclude thy Idea of ‘simiinr netion on tho Bart of the Empire in Its untirety. Tho negotine ons now pending esd nat excite nny uppre- henslons, Not only In tho Empire, butin the Various Stites composing it, they desired a nour xpproach to peuce, us nent, Indeed, as wus com. patlblo with tho independence of the Stute, which hud formed the subject of contention tor conturies, ‘This contention ttsclf, this squaring of tha circie, was nat capable of being alto- ether appeased, but the Government bulleved bat direct reintions with the Vatican would help to bring abuut un uccoptublo modus vivendi, From this adroit answer of the Chaucellor, it will be seen that, while he has not been “to Canossa,” negotiattons haye been going on, not by tho Emplro as a whole, but by Prussia as 1 Kingdom, the most important part of the whole, and that the individual Tepresentation of Prussia at the Vatican isa settled fact In hia policy. It may be inferred also that If a Clerico-Conservative coalition has not already becn effected It soot will be, and that rather than sacrifice his economical measures he will make peace with the Vatl- ean, and thereby sccure the Centre, for with the Conservatives and Ultramontanes untted * the Ultrainontanes also controfling all the Independent factions, he will have a inajor- ity at his command which the Liberals cannot overcome. It will not require many concessions on. either side to ge- complish the-union. At the close of his apoech, Dr, Windthorst, the Ultraimontane leader, expressed himself as highly gratified With Bismarck’s utterances. In our last Is- Suu appears a dispatch stating that “ With a viow of still turther concillating che Govorn- went, the Centre party [which is the Ultras montane) has given notice of an Interpella- tlon In the Reichstag dealing with the ques- tlon of assiating workmon by removing re- stricions qu Sunday Inbor,* and this may only be the entering wedge towards an adva- cacy of Bismarck's other industrial reforms, Acompromise will be arrived at, because it must be arrived at, for without the Ultramontange votes-ho fs powerless, so closely are all the Liberals—not only the Lib- ernls proper, but the Progressista, Soclat Democrats, nid wyen the Sactalists—united In opposition. Tho contest, howayer, will be a bitter one. In reply to Blsmarok Prof, Vir- chow nssalled the coalltion as dangerous to progress and even to civilization, to which the Chancellor retorted that tho Ultramon- tanes were not su. dangerous allies as thn Liberals, and that he would return blow for blow as long as he had strength tett, —— ‘Tne Tripune hada paragraph the other day pulnting out the one-alded course of the Acting President, The Chicign Postmaster’s nowspaper sald yeaturday commenting thereons Ir Taw Tatnuxe vares for harmony inaide the Republican. party, it will revisa the foregoing statemunts Herel Provident Arthur has been iu the Excentive utficednly about two aod a halt months, There ary seven Cubtuot oltioers.
