THE people, the pulpit, and the press of
Chicago are in highly fomented state over
the proposition to repeal the municipal law
prohibiting the sale Of liquor on the Sabbath.
Some of the clergymen Of the city denounce
the project with remarkable plainness of
speech, and one Of them, Rev. DR.. Fowler,
President Of the Northwestern University, re-
Gently uttered this sentiment from the pulpit :

The Credit HIObiiier snSestigaiion.

The charge made by such liberal Rerubi-
can papers rs the Now York Tribune daring
the recent campaign, Of bribery and corrup-
ton against Mr.. Colfax. Gen. Wilson, Speak
or Blaine, Mr.. Dawes, Gen. Garfield, Score
tary Boutwell,, and several other Of the Lead
ing Republicans aud foremost and most ire
proachable men Of the country, have already
been etectually exploded. Not particle OF
evidence has been found by the investigating
committee 10 sustain them, or to leave the
slightest suspicion upon either of them. They
all prove to De the invention Of one McCOmb,
and to have been seized upon and heraldcd
to The country by the Liberal" ana other
corrupt organs, without any reason for sup
posing the charges were true. Itwa5 thought
they might iniurc Gen. Grant and the lscpu1-
lican party, and that was enough to induce
corrupt and dishonest editors to give them
circulation. But they are all returning to
plague the inventors.

The Eiairs and the AdIinistra-
lion.

The st. Louis Democrat is dispose to give
the Blairs all the influence with wich they
have ever been credited, though rather
cynically intimates that it is Of 4 hgative
quality. 1t ironically says they alwas con-
trive to get the Administration intere,ed in
their behalf Gen. Grant wants Blair ected
in Missouri for the good he has done I the
Republican party and the Administrative in
the past four years. The opposition ofSc,lrz
helped a great deal, but the victory woula't
have been complete without the hostile hip
of Blair. The President would no doubt 10
his influence for Blair if he did not know tht
the latter would scorn to be assisted by Fed
era! interference in & State election. As i
is, he can only give him his good wishes OIL
behalf Of the Republican party. But tina
will probably be sufficient to secure his re
election to the Senate.

Truilibui.'S Successor.

Some months ago We announced the ro!iti-
cal demise Of Lyman Trumbull, the Snar-
leyaw" of the Senate. The last Presidential
election, and especially the election in hi,
own State, when he made a dying effort to
retain his place IN the Senate, fully justified
the announcement. And we have the pleas
ure of stating that his c6fcial life is drawing
rapidly to a close, less than seven short
weeks of it remaining and that his place will
then be filed by an honest and able man, an
accomplished gentleman, and consistent,
earnest, reliable Republican. Gen. Oglesby,
elected Governor of Illinois at the last cleo
ton, brave and patriotic officer during the re-
bellion, has been nominated by the Republi
an majority Of the Legislature as Trumbu!l'.
hccessor. This is a change that Will be
hiled with qualification by the whole Repub-
| lien party.
