THE CONGRESSIONAL QUESTION.

Some two weeks ago, the Hon. n. B.
| Iada. the present. Representative Of this
district in Congress, published a card de-
clin,ue denomination. For two ,notths
previously, Mr.. Judd had had clear track
aud no opposition. Tho presumption is
that ho declined to be candidate for rc~
election because he found that, although
nobody WIS in the field against him, no
body was for him. At any rate, such was
the fact
After Mr.. Judd had publicly withdrawn,
movement, which was not in any manner,
originated or melted in this Office, or by
,hc gentleman himself, was started for Mr.
Joseph 3Iedill. It had its origin probably
in the fact that Mr.. sledill had served ac-
tcptably in the late Constitutional Conven-
lion had been supported for that position
l,y both parties, in the contest of last fall,
with equal cordiality, and The general
idea that he had given evidence 10
the citzers Of Chicago, on many
occasions daring the past fifteen years, of
ability 10 discharge any duties devo1v-
ing upon him cteditably and conscientious
y. Al I'll events, he was not put forward
iu the character Of candidate by THE
Th1uusE. Whatever steps wera taken to
secure his nomination we're the result Of a
spontaneous and pretty general preference
for him among the substantial aud respec-
table members Of the Republican party.
That Mr. Medill should meet opposition
was to be expected That he should On
counter the fierce autagonism of the whis-
key ring, the hlacllegs, the ballot-box-
suffers, the ward bummers, who lire by
politics, and all those whose Interests are
antagonistic to the taxpayers and to public
morals and decency Was, perhaps, also
10 be expected. It is an unfortunate ci.-
euntstance that this class Of rnftians
aud repeaters exercise q far more potent
influence upon the primary meetings OF
both political parties than the sober
| minded portion Of the community. Thay
work for pay. Mr.. Medill, OF anybody
else, can bave their services by paying fol
them. Neither AIr. Medill nor his friends
ail1degrade themselvesb by entering into such
acontest. Ii the Republican nomination
for Congress cannot be had without fro
qncntiug doggeEies and gambling houses
aud without accepting the aid of the whis
key ring, and without hiring scallawags L
carry the primary meetings, by fair mean.
or foul, then those who resort to sucl
agencies may. have the field to themselves
and see how they come ont.
| We do not allege that all who nre op
posed to Mr. Medi1l are of the class ".
have described. That would not be strict
lytrue. But that the majority Of them are
and that it il this class who are relied upol
to defeat him, is known to nine ont 0

Dr.. Wines read paper on tho proposed
international Prison Reform Congress.
Letters favoring the movement had been
received from 1e4 prominent persons, Of
whom &c were from the United States, in
GLIDING from II Governors Of States. The
others were from Europe and Canada.
The congress will embrace prominent per-
CONS connected with the administration of
prisons or Of justice, and others from all
The countries Of the globe from America to
British India. Two-thirds Of those thus
far consulted designate London as the
place, and DR.. Wines suggests June, 1s7.,
as the date OF the convention.
Mr.. S. S. Desellena, Of the Ohio peui-
tentiary, argued that it is chesper to
