THE SUPERVISORS AHD TIE SUPREME
COURT,

ihe boeSd OF Supervisors Of Cook
County, yesterday. voted to pay to General
salomon, the e1-County Clerk, tue sup, Of
Sl,''5, being the amount Of the fine
recently imposed on him by the Supreme
Court for contempt Of that tribunal, and
his counsel fees and expenses incurred in
violating the laws OF the State. This is
most extraordinary proceeding. General
salornon diaegarded ard disobeyed the
law, treated the process Of the Court with
sontempt, was fined by the Court, and
now the Supervisors vote to assume the
responsibility, or rather to make the
county assume it. This is virtually repest-
ing the contempt, and we hope the Court
will take judicial notice Of it and fine
each Supervisor who voted for the
resolution. It is, in fact, more e.arinc
contempt than General Salornon's, It is
nothing less than paying a public officer
FOR violating the law, and then reversing
the decision Of the Supreme Court in his
case. 1t is m insult to the Court,
an insult to- the State, and an
insult to the Pc op1e Of Cook
County. So far as it assumes to
represent tho people Of this county as ap-
proving or sustaining, or in any way justi-
flying, the disregard Of law und the con-
tempt OF court, the resolution Is false
and seandalous. The arrest Of the ex-
Clerk for contempt WIS, VIC venture
to say, the first intimation
to the people Of this county,
outside Of official circles, that the tax had
not been collected and paid into the State
Treasury, as it should have been. The
ground on which General Salomon asked
to have Ills 6ne paid, and the ground On
which the Supervisors seem 10 hive acted,
is, TINT by his official misconduct this ooun-
tv bad defrauded tbs State Of S135, 900.
The communication aa1iug the payment Of
his fine upcn such plea ns that ought to
have been returned to the writer. Il the
Board of Supervisors had not lost all sense
Of shame they would not have listened to
II for a moment. The plea WAS that, first,
by trick, and second, By contempt Of
court, the State had been deprived OF
4I35,O GOO OF its lawful revenue and the
Supervisors voted that tho hero Of such
transsction was entitled to reward sud CON-
rensatioD. We hope TINT the County
Trear1rer ~ill refuse to psy the money. To
Fay it would be making himself party to
the contempt. Let us see what Court will
grant q man''dmus to compel him to pay it,
and thereby to relieve person from the
sentence pronounced upon him by the
highest tribunal in the Stale. II tho Sn-
prenle Court had sent General Salomon to
jail. the Supervisors might, with the same
prort1ety, have voted to batter the doors
down and set him Mt liberty.

The journal Of Commerce argues elabo.
rately with Senator Revels to prove that he
is white man, or at least that, being
thsee-foorths white, there is no reason to
believe TINT his one-fourth of black blood
hns spoiled his ability as legislator. The
present attitude Of conservative Democra-
cy, therefore, is that a man one-fou1th
black is fit to bo Senator, but man one
hall black is Lot. Democracy will maintain
this attltuds until some man one-half black
shall be elected. Democracy will then find
its fnith in white blood SO enlarged that, il
thera be but fourth or tenth Of white
blood, it will redeem very large quantity

WEDNESDAY. MARCH .. 1870.


The House of Representatives recently
directed one Of its committees 10 report a
bill providing for an increase OF the cur.
rcncy to the amount Of $50, ,Uoo, 600. The
resolution did not specify what kind of cur.
rency, and when the bill is reported it will
be open to amendment. There are four
kinds Of currency nov known to the laval,
Gold, which the Supreme Court has decided
has never ceased to be legal tender. ..
Greenbacks. 3. National Bank notes. 4.
Fractional currency. It is competent for
the House to specify in the bill
which Of these kinds Of currency
shall be issued. The Secretary Of the
Treasury has on hand surplus Of $780,
oo0,000 Of gold, for which be has no use
except to bull tie market and keep green
backs below par. This additional gold
currency would answer every possible want
Of trade and commerce. It would not only
restore coin as currency, but would have
the immediate effect Of making greenbacka
worth their face in gold. 1t would cost moth
ingfor printing, engraving, or commissions;
it would notdeprecate the money now in the
hands Of the people; on the contrary, it
would add 10 pc: cent to the value Of the
$3.50, ,00o, 600 paper now in general use. It
would nut an md to the absutdity OF coy-
eminent EeeEng new loans at a reduced
rate Of interest, while its overdue papar,
to the amo7nt Of hundreds OF millions, Was
outstanding, protested for non-payment.
This currency is On hand it is unprodnct-
ire in tie Treasury; it is not even a part
Of the Sec:etarys pleasing fiction Of q sink
ing fmd. It is SO much active capital
vithhsld-and that, too, By debtor whose
aema,d notes are passing from hand to
handnt discount. That fifty millions Of
dollss in coin, If issued, would destroy the
premium On gold, and thereby add ee5, ,oOo,-
oaoto the purchasing value Of the paper in
circulation, while the issue of the same
nominal amount Of currency in any other
fom will depreeiate that currency and
d'tract from its purchasing power. While
lie issue Of the $50, ,ooo, ,o0o Of gold now
ling idle and unprodoctiye in the Treasu-
y will add that sum to the amount Of cur
rency, and iccrease the value Of the out
standing paper 10 per cent, this result viii
be accomplished without adding dime to
the national debt, while the issue Of paper
will be direct addition to that debt.
Tho House Of representatives, therefore,
when the bill is reported, will follow the
dictates Of wisdom and economy If they
shall direct that the new issue Of currency
shall be from the gold that is boarded, aud

Tie Board Of Supervisors Of Cook County
have been brought face to face with the
results Of the recklessness and proaigacy
Of tteir government The County Treasury
is not only empty, but one-half the current
taxes Of tho year has been anticipated aud
expended. Two months ago the Finance
Committee sold county orders for $500. .0o0,
payable in eighteen months at 10 per cent
per annum, paying per cent commission;
selling four-ffths of The orders at ninety.
nine cents. A number Of county per cent
bonds have also been sold at ninety.two
cents. Even with the proceeds Of these
extraordinary loans, the present condition
OF the treasury stands:

Prominent among the many disgraceful
and proaigate transactions of the board is
the Normal School building At Englewood,
which has already cost the county over
Sao,oo0. and is not get finished, aud will
cost at least $4,000 per annum for opes-
ating expenses hcrenfter, In the first place,
IT is nothing but real estate speculation;
and, in the nett place, a scheme, to pension
certain persons upon the public. There
never has been any occasion for such
school in this county; there has never been
q lack Of competent teachers, and there is
no likelihood Of there ever being any sc7rc-
itv in that line A school Of that kind is no
more wanted in this county thana school for
cspdidates for Office. There has never
been time when this county could not
obtain all the good teachers it needed by
paving them decent salaries. Had the
money thrown away upon this Engle~ood
job been expended in building comfortable
and commodious school buildings in the
several towns, it might have been Of soma
use, The whole Northwest is 6wa1micg
with teachers, pine-tenths Of whom will
contrast favorably with the chief Of the
Euglewood Normal School, and who only
nsk fair salariea, comfortable school houses,
ppd regular employment.
The duty Of the Supervisors is to arrest
the expenditure for the Normal School
where it is, and to otfe. the building and
site for sale. II no person will purchase
it. let it be decided TO Englewood as "A fret
