tFrom the La Crosse, Wis, Republican,
Senator Mcmillan.

Affor conflict which has been marked for
its bitteruess and earnestness, beginning just
month aqo to-day, the legislature OF Minnesota
hos chosen a successor to the Hon. Alexander
pomsev whose term expires March 4, 1875.
Tho choice falls, as in this State, upon a man
who did not seek the Office, and who was not
in The proper sense of the term, a candidate,
and who steadily and persstently refused to
use personal influence to obtain the favor or
votes of members. The position has sought
the man in this instance, and it is regarded a
fortunate termination for the people of Min
nesota.
Chief Justice s. j. R. Mcmillan, the Sena-
tor-elect, is of Scotch descent; is shout As
years of age, in the prime of vigorous man
hood, and possessed of hardy constitution.
He is an untiring worker and patient student
His mind is clear and logical, and is rather
inclined to be technical. He has always been
regarded as a safe and careful judge, and it is
said of him that during his long service on the
bench he has not been known to render de-
cision or give an opinion without the most
thorough investigation. His character is in
every respect without blemish; and he en-
tiers upon the broader and more exalted career
various aud arduous duties and responsible
ties, free from all political association that
might tend to corrupt his mind and warp his
Judgment.
Judge Mcmillan was one of the pioneer set
tiers of Minnesota, having taken up a resi-
dence in Saltwater some years before the Ter
ritory was admitted into the Union as a state.
He was one of the first district judges elected
after the states admission into the Union, and
renal ned in that position until 1864 when he
was elected to the supreme bench, with Wilson
as chief Justice, and Berry and himself as as
sociate justices, succeeding to the chair of the
chief Justice of the commonwealth as the sue
cessor of Judge Ripley. Chief Justice Nc
MILAN is an exceedingly modest and quiet, but
CAPABLE and worthy man. When Chief JUS
tice Wilson resigned, several years ago, the
governor rendered the chief justiceship to AS
sociate Justice Mcmillan, who declined any
promotion.
Previous to his election as chief justice, he
resided at Saltwater, but is now a citizen OF st.
Paul, where he has been an active member Of
and exemplary leader in the Presbyterian
church; and recently, in connection with Hon.
Mr. Wilson and other influential members OF
that society, organized new Mission church
in the upper part of the city. He has been
universally recognized as straight, consistent
and uncompromising Republican, but has new
er been an active partisan or party worker
Until chosen United States Senator we believe
he never occupied political office, having con
fined himself strictly and cOnscientiousy to his
professional duties and we are safe III saying
that of all the candidates named for the office
of Senator in Minnesota Judge Mcmillan is
the safest and perhaps the most able.

they have made themselves ridiculous by trad

They had their liito arrangement even with
Boss Tweed, and passed his charter for hlnl.
They negotiated for the creation of Boss

relations of the Custom-house managers to

He did not alu6e to the Custom-h0use
support, given O'Brien in the Mayoralty con-

Judge Lawrence and fastened upon the city
the unfortunate Mr.. IIavemeyer; and he made
no mention of another arrangement, which mas
been brought to light within day or two, an
arrangement by which the notorious Mike
Norton was protected from prosecution for the
Ring frauds in return for his political SER
vices.
What good has the Custom-hOusc party ever
derived from these immoral cOmpacis Its
bargain with Tweed plunged the whole State
in disaster, from which we were extllcatcd
only by the happy accident of a quarrel

chievous Mayors we ever had, and drove the
Republicans themselves almost 10 distraction
with troubles that are not yet ended. It's

after the Ring defeat has involved the Dis
tlict Attorneys Office in scandal, and greatly
damaged such chance as the party might have
had of polling a respectable vote on the
I'd of November. It's bargain with MoTisscy
has brought it discredit which will not soon
be- lived down, and promises no sort OF ad-
vantage to compensate for the rack OF moral
feeling and the damage to character involved
in the partnership. Perhaps after few more

PATTY B.fRG.flNS.

The bargain between the Custom-house Re-
pubicans and the Molissey Democrats seems
likely to lead to no important result, prlnci-
nallv because there is so little basis for a trade.
All the week there has been Il negotiation
with reluctant candidates and a shuilling and
changing of tickets. al won't and "You
"shall" have been banded back and forth be
tween nominees and committees, until the
discussion has bordercd upon public scandal.
Mr.. John Morrisscy has at last been
persuaded to put his delicacy iii his pocket and
run for the Senate as the representative of the
honest sons of toll and the Custom-house Ke-
publicans. Mr.. Van Schaick has consented to
accept the nomination for Surrogate OH cOndi-
ton that he shall not be put TO any bother
about it. Mr.. Duuning remains cbdurate III
refusing the ermine of the Common Pleas and
there has been a squabble over the choice OF
u substitute In fact one of the great troubles
about concluding the bargain seems to bc that
nobody waats the empty hOnors which either
side has to Offcr-exccpt MIR. James OBrler,
;sho is always ready to take anything, but
whose value has fallen so low that there are
no quotations of 1t.
Such unholy alliances as the one now pro-
posed are invariably unfortunate for both par
ties The two partners in the present case
have not one principle or thought in common,
except hunger for Office. MOrrissey and his
followers are fighting Tammany Hall. avow-
edly because its managers refuse to give them
the farming out of patronage and the distri-
button of public money in what would be pIac-
tically gratuity to the working classes. The
leader of the revolt makes his living by prac-
tees to which the law aliixes a penalty of two
years in the State Prison. The Republicans
profess to fight against the very abuses OF
which Morrissey is the incarnate embodiment,
and while they are working for Boss Nor
I1ssey they pretend to be shocked at the
power of Boss Kelly. 1t is not the first time
New-York tribune., 1875-10-22
FACTS FERSUS THEORY.

The proper Office of theory is to explain the
relations of facts. When the tlcorist disre-
cards facts or creates them by an exercise OF
the imagination, he turns science into romance.
This is the fault we have to find with the IN
fationists They exaggcratc the existing dis
trcss. They ill tho minds of thOughtless per-
sons with false notions of what society owes
to them and what they owe to society. Ihey
ascribc to the currency n thousand evils IN
which money has no part. If we cXamlnc
carefully the real situation we shall find that
most of the evils and all the remedies on which
they dcscant are imaginary.
We ale told for example, that the people
are starving and that Onc-third OF the labor
ing population is ont Of employment and de-
pendent on charity for bread. This Is not the
fact. Probably of the entire population OF the
country there are not eight per cent fewer
persons earning a living than there were four
years ago Tea, coffee. and sugar are articles
of semi-luxury or semi-necesSity, in universal
use among the people. If there were any such
quantity of misery as the paper money men
imagine would not the consumption OF tea,
coffee and sugar have fallen off amazingly !
Let us now see what is the actual record. The
following table gives the annual importationS
of these articles for the last six years

New-York tribune., 1875-10-22

The population OF the nitcu states pf INC
census of 1910 was 17,069,453 The con
sumption for each million of inhabitants III
SO was, therefore, in round numbers. 10000
cyts. of tea, 10000 cwts. OF coffee, ana
81. 900 cwts. OF sugar-in the case OF each
aitice far less than at present. The average
production of sugar in Louisiana at tins period
WAS about go, 900 cWts. per annuDl, which Is
less than the home production reported by the
census of 1870. Tea and coffee were admitted
free of duty, as they are at present.
The two periods we have been comparing
are separated from each other by just one
third of a century. The lives of many of our
readers cover both epochs. We are within the
bounds of truth when We say that business
to-day is not 80 insecure and the general con-
diton of the mass of the people not so un-
comfortable ~ they were from 1887 to 1872.
The evils which now exist We believe to he
of the same character as those of 30 years
ago. They are to he cured by retrcnchment
and economy, public and private, and the
liouidation of Indebtedness, and they can
be cured in no other way. The
grand source of trouble Is debt The
thing to be desired is the reduction of the
mass of ndcbtcdness-tbrough economy and
honest payment where practicable; through
bankruptcy proceedings where payment in full
il impossible. The remedy proposed by the
infationists is the indefinite Increase of in
debtcdness, the Government by paying, like
Mr.. Micawbcr, in nothing but its own notes,
to become the greatest debtor OF all. We are
in favor of the largest liberty. Let every
ore be free to assume the relation OF
debtor or creditor at his will. But
do let us have real money, so that those who
desire to be free from the complications OF
borrowing and lending may be able to become
so. 1t is work enough to manage business
with private debtors without constant eX-
ros,lre TO the risk of being sucked down into
unfathomable depths by the Governments re-
pudiation of the promises which il forces into
cycrybody's pockets.
New-York tribune., 1875-10-22
CREDTLONS MERCHANTN.

There seems to be no limit to the extent to
which an ingenious sharper can yictimize mer-
chants The operations OF man named
Feette, Just exposed in Brooklyn, indicate al
most Incredible credulity on the part of men
conducting their ordinary mercantile business
in several different cities. 1t is estimated
that this Fcette has purchased merchandise
in g1eat yariety-groccries, dry goods, carpets,
and especially Liquors and tobacco-to the
amount of 500, 200, for which he has never
given anything but his valucless promises to
pay. How this man succeeded in persuading
so manydlifcrent people to trust him appears al
most nexplcablc. The brcfcst examination at
Warren Penn. the town which he made his
headquarters, would have aroused suspicion,
for it is shown by the evidence thus far OBJ
tanned that he no sooner received the goods at
that place than he shipped them off again to
his receiving depot in the outskirts of Brook
lyn.
Bat the merchants took Feettc'S three months
notes Just AZ if they were giltcdged, and
never discovered that anything was wrong till
the protested paper. after maturity, came back
from bank. Then search for the goods be-
gan, starting of course at Warren. As the trail
was followed, one after another the cheated
merchants joined in the pursuit, and there
was no lack of the sympathy in misfortune
which numbers bring to the victims. Then
came the little excitement of getting OFF the
SCENT merchants and detectives running
around the country in the vicinity of Albany
with their noses in the air for two or three
weeks. Most of them became discouraged
and went home again to count their losses
and charge them to profit and loss.
When at last the trail was again found and
traced to Brooklyn, the result must have
proved even more surprising than the previous
developments. Dry goods, tobacco, and whisky
to value of about $4,000 were found
sccrrted in Il modest dwelling on the
marshes back of the WallabOut. 1t turns out
that Fcette is convicted felOn who has be-
fore now served out his time in jail, for crime
of the same sort that for which he is
now under arrest. How could IA man,
