ture action. About 800 people were pres
ent. II. o. Sleight was chosen chairman

taxes levied for 1874.
c. 0. Mason, NJ. Wheeler, J. NJ, Gould
and Fl. A. Ainsworth were appointed a
committee to draft constitution and by
laws
The following resolution was presented
and after little discussion laid on the ia
BILE: l...

We have already found occasion to quote
the Boston Aduertiser as staunch Repub-
lican journal in state of iusurreetion
against the administration. The Aduer-
tiser was founded in 1850. and has had
some personal experience under the sort
OF government which "The president and
All OF Us" are trying to fasten upon the
country at this crisis. Therefore, its pres
ent deplorable disloyalty and its heartless
desertiop of Grant, Belknap, Sheridan &
CO. But not finding modern logic equal
to the situation, the Advertiser goes back
to its ante-revolutionary files and repro
duces the following from its issue of Octo.
Der II. 1858:
"When military power is introduced,
military maxims are propagated and adop-
ted which are inconsistent with and must
soon eradicate every idea of civil govern
ment. Do we not already find some per-
sons weak enough to believe that an officer
is obliged TO obey the order of his superior.
though it be even against the law? And
let any one consider whether this doctrine
does not directly lead even to the setting
up that officer, whoever he may be, as a
tyrant. 1t is, moreover, to be observed
that the military government and civil
are so different from each other, if not op-
posite, that they cannot long subsist to.
gether, Soldiers are not governed proper
ly by the laws of their country, but by q
law made for them only This may in
time make them look upon themselves as
a body of men different from. the rest Of
the people; and as they and they only
have the sword in their hands, they may
sooner or later begin to look upon them
selves as the lords and not the servants Of
the people. Such instances are not un
common in history, and they will always
happen when troops are put under the di
rection of an ambitious or covetous goyer

The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago
Inter Ocean love one another as well as
two tom cats hung on clothes line by
their tails, tied together. The Tribune
having made some ugly charges against
the Inter. Ocean that paper ''goes for /
Deacon Bross and the Knud Iverson fund
Horace White and the whiskey ring, Joe
Medill and the Gage robbery, using the
words towards, robbers, ETC., quite freely,
whereupon the Tribune staggers up to the
ring and delivers the following blow:
The Inter Ocean of yesterday contains
an editorial confession a column long of all
the material points to which the Tribune
regretfully called its attention the day
before as to the supposed connection of its
proprietors with the corrupt Pacific Mail
subsidy business. We expressed the fear
that it was Mr.. Schuyler r. Ingham, the
business manager and part owner of the
Inter- Ocean, who had received $1,000 Of
the corruption fund to influence" con
gressmen. This is admitted, and the In
ter Ocean says that Mr.. lngham will Eek,
plain at some future date" We are
glad to hear it. We also said that Mr.
Frank W. Palmer, Nh. Ingham's friend
then member of congress and now editor
and part owner of the Inter Ocean, votee
> for the million year subsidy. This ii
likewise admitted. We said, too. tina
: Mr.. Palmer had pocketed his share of thu
salary grab This is not denied, but ad
mitted We further remarked that Mr.
Palmer had brought to Chicago his 5000
back pay" and Mr.. Ingham his $7,00'
Z of the Pacific Mail corruption-fund, AM
J. permanently Invested these moneys in tn
Inter Ocean. There is no effort to con
: trovert this; both facts are admitted
l. Now. having admitted these essential par
ticulars, we do not see the occasion for tn
i column of irrelevant slush with which tn
Inter Ocean accompanied the admissions
e. Nor can We see how the Tribune can b
reasonably accused of having made an AT
g. tack" after the manner of coward
r assassin" The Tribune is certainly ne
i responsible because one of the proprietor
of the Inter Ocean pocketed the salary
% grab, nor because the other had a bi
e slice of corruption fund. We regret
exceedingly, and tender our sympathet
y, codolence at the unexpected exposure
