CIRCULAR" NOMINATIONS.

From the PHtSb,rg Commercial
That the reform Republican ticket is not
the best, neither the masters of the ring or
any of its members have ever dared publicly
to deny. That each man on it is not an
honest, worthy, and capable Republican, is
quite as undisputed by either Ripgmaster
Errett or the aged and corrupt ringmaster at
Harrisburg, who daily sends his commands to
his followers in this city. The only objection
given for opposition to the reform ticket by
Cameron and his crew. is that it was not
''regularly" nominated. That is, it did not go
through the hands of the manipulators
nadrkeTs-the men capable of putting down
five votes each when they only had one.
To pretend that lie objects to ticket
simply because not regularly nominated is
poking fun at one in earnest Cameron,
the ''regular" This day he is plotting for
the defeat of good men, regularly nominated
by the party in different parts of the State,
for no other reason than that neither he or
his son can make merchandise of them next
session at the State capital His opposition
to Governor Geary-who was regularly nomi-
nated-is well known. True, Mr.. Cameron
swore loyalty to the Governor and our cause
last fall, but that was only putting his dupli-
city, treachery, and deceit in worse light.
The reform movement was inaugurated in
Allegheny county because the organization of
the party here was in the hands of set of
men who run the party to enrich themselves
and so bad had things become that either
this course had to be resorted to or the party
would have gone down. phe money of the
public has been SO squandered-the misman-
agement of our public servants has been so
outrageous, that taxes are becoming too
onerous to bear. All this because the puppets
here obeyed the commands of their master in
Harrisburg, who is not interested dollar
in our city or county, and who does not
bear one cent as his share of the burdens.
The success of the Reform ticket will not
only be the success of the Republican party,
but it's preservation and building up. The
ring reduced our majority from II 900 to but
little over one-third that of last year, for no
other reason than that their master did not
like the Gubernatorial candidate, and found
he could not use him. The vote this year
will show that they polled last fall their full
strength. All that is regular and fair in poll
tics will be served by the success of our
ticket. 1t was nominated to win, and none
feel that it will stronger than the ring. Let
them howl while it is yet day. Their night
is near at hand. All good men will rejoice
at their overthrow.

THE CENSUS OF ILLINOIS.

From the Chicago Tribune.
We printed recently full report of the
census returns of this State. The grand
total, with one precinct in Peoria county to
be heard from, is 1857, ,O32. The population
of the State in 1860 was 1, H. ,954. The gain
is $50, ,07S, or over 80 per cent. The popu-
lation of the State in 1850 was SOL 40. The
increase from 1860 to 1870 is greater than
the whole population of the State in 1850.
The population in 1870 is more than three
times what it was in 1850. Illinois now
takes rank as the fourth State in population,
being exceeded only by New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and Ohio, and, in all probability, the
difference between Illinois and Ohio has
been largely reduced. The increase in this
city has been 141 per cent, but otherwise has
been general in all parts of the State, the
average outside of this city and county being
slightly over 45 per cent. LaSalle county re-
tains its rank as the second county in the
State in point of population. In other States
the cities have gained, but at the loss of the
country districts. In this State this has not
been the case. Though some counties have
not increased at the same rate that others
have, the increase has been general.
The census being complete, the Governor
will make the Legislative apportionment ac-
cordipgly, and will announce it on the 2oth.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

From The Memphis Avalanche.
Wendell Phillips, whose lifelong boast has
been his determination not to hold office,
and whom the country has regarded as honest
in his opinions, now not only accepts the
Labor Reform nomination for Governor of
Massachusetts,, but resorts to the cheapest,
baldest demagogery. In his letter of ac-
ceptance he declares it "a shame to our
Christianity and our civilization for our social
system to provide and expect that one man,
at seventy years of age, should be the lord OF
many thousands of dollars, while hundreds of
other men, who have made as good use Ql

THE REPEAL MUDDLE.

From the Washington star.
The question as to whether Congress has
really abolished the Office of Secretary of the
Interior, and indeed the Interior Department,
seems to be more serious one than at first
appeared.
The facts are these:-The Interior Depart
ment was created by an act of Sd March,
1S49, entitled "An act to establish the Home
Department, and to provide for the Treasury
Department an Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury and Commissioner of Customs"
g Statutes at Large, chap. cviii, p. 1861
This act creates an Interior Department, and
provides for the appointment of a Secretary.
1t transfers to that Office the supervision of
patents, of the General Land Office, tho ac-
counts of marshals, etc.; the Indian, Pension,
and Census Bureaus, and of the public build
ings and the Penitentiary, and it also creates
the Office of Assistant Secretary of the Trea-
sury, and provides for some details. Subse-
quent legislation added some special duties
to the office.
The late Congress, by can act to revise,
consolidate, and amend the statutes relating
to patents and copyrights, approved Sth of
July, 1870, greatly changed the details of
these laws. 1t certainly looked to the con-
tinued existence of the Office of Secretary of
the Interior. But, in the repeating clause, it
is expressly declared ''that the acts and parts
of acts set forth in the schedule of acts cited,
hereto annexed, are hereby repealed, without
reviving any acts or parts of acts repealed by
any of said acts, or by any clause or provi-
sions therefor" The proviso has some i'm
material savings as to autecedent rights.
Then, not in the schedule, but in the repeal
ing section, and before the signatures Of the
officers, is ''act of March 3, 1919, chapter 1OS,
volume 8, page 395.
Thus, whatever may be urged as history
and of want of Legislative intention in words,
the act creating the offices of Secretary of
the Interior and Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury is repealed. The words are plain
and unambiguous. The repeating clause en-
braces dozen other acts, and whatever may
be said against the repeal of one may be urged
as to all others.
As to the reason, and spirit, and effects,
and consequences of such a repeal, they are
for the lawyers and judges, when proper
cases shall be made. Now that the discovery
is made, questions must Immediately arise
for the Comptroller, for the Executive, the
Department of Justice, and the courts The
very doubt may lead to the serious considera-
tion of an extra session.

LET GENERAL GRANT MIND HIS
BUSINESS.

BUSINESS.
From the N. Y. Sun.
The modesty of General Grant in writing
letter to Missouri revenue collector, read
ing the Hon. Gratz Brown and Carl Schurz
out of the Republican party is neither ap-
parent nor real. Both of these gentlemen
aided in the organization of the Republican
party, both have been able and eloquent ad-
vocates of its principles for the past fifteen
years, and each has represented Missouri in
the Senate of the United States with marked
distinction. To undertake to prescribe such
men because they see fit to express indepen-
dent opinions on certain political measures
relating solely to the State of Missouri, and
which have no connection whatever with
Federal affairs, would be beyond the iuris-
diction of the party when assembled in a
national convention. But for q single in
dividual to assume to do this, and that in
dividual one who was never a Republican at
all till he became a candidate for the Presi-
dency, even if he was then, and who never
voted for but two candidates for the Presi-
dency in his life, namely, James Buchanan
in 1856, and himself in 1868, would be to the
last degree presumptuous and arrogant were
it not superlatively ridiculous and Contempt
BILE.
For the President of the United States
enter upon such a task as, this is disreputable,
unseemly, and wholly aside from any duties
imposed upon him by the Republican party,
and much less by the great Office which he
thus degrades. Rather let General Grant quit
the watering places, where he is the dead-head
of tavern keepers and railway conductors, and
the associate of adventurers and tricksters,
and return to Washington, where his official
oath requires him to be, and where the public
business suffers from his absence.
Years ago Webster, Clay, and their eminent
associates in the Whig party made the nation
ring with denunciations because of the alleged
interference by the Democratic administra-
tion with the perfect freedom of the elections,
and because of the absence from Washington
for brief periods of a portion of the Cabi-
net. What would these honored patriots say
were they alive now and saw the Presi-
dent writing a letter to petty revenue officer
denouncing distinguished Senator and ex-
Senator for expressing opinions adverse to his
own on matter involved in a local election,
while the President himself spent nearly all
his time on junketing tours, and his Cabinet
kept running to and fro over the country, the
business of their several departments suffer-
ing shamefully from their neglect of duty !?
Would not these great statesmen make the
land vocal with their anathemas of such an
administration
We repeat, General Grants appropriate
place just now is in Washington, and not at
FLong Branch or West Point and his legiti-
mate business is, not meddling with nomi-
mating conventions in New York, or local
elections in Missouri, but attending to the
duties imposed upon him by the Constitu-
ten.
