Senator KzHoE, of this city, whose CON-
mittee has charge Of the bills to xeyise thu
charter Of Chicago, has reported back thu
bill providing for transfer Of tbs A1unic;na,

ton with an amendment which provides TIN,
there shall be charter election in November
1873, under the present law; that the cit7
officers then chusen shall hold Office in NM
event until April 1877. The object Of th;s
amendment is obvious. Among other thinos
it includes that Police Commissioner shall
be elected in November, 1875, and that #
Mr. MARX SHERIDAN be reelected. that
gentleman may not only hold oyer
until 1877, but have claim to hold ofica for
sir years The bill as proposed By the Citi.
zens' Association provided that, if The peoria:
IN November, 1875, should decide to ad,nt
the general charter, then in the A,,ri1
following there should be IN election uraer

Charter, the interests Of the whole city. thu

peal Of abuses, are al to be made subcrtli aata
to the reelection Of MARX SHERIDAN AMI tn

ing shall have deposited the amount Of ta1e.
and the costs, which, in itself, is an excel1en,
provision. But this does not apply to cases
where, as in 1874, the County Court refused
Judgment for the city, and the city had to
appeal Judging by past experience, it is ne14
to impossible to have tux sale for city tnxes
which may not be picked to pieces by techni-
cal ta1~fghting lawyers.
The bills proposed by the Council Commit
tee show that the city authorities are de-
termined not to ayal themselves of the Gen.
eral Revenue law, but intend to rely upon
special patchwork laws. The general law on
this subject is open to no legal difficulties. It
provides one machinery for taxation for all
purposes; one person to collect taxes, and
one ta1 sale. That law is clear, explicit, and
open to none Of the technical and other OBJ
jections which are so fatal to special laws.
We regret this policy, because it defeats the
great end sought,-the prompt and sure col
lection of the city revenue in cash. It is to
be hoped that, befors the Legislature 3D.
journs, some degree of harmony may be
established, and that the ta1 system Of this
city may be simpIfed and made effective.

hangs upon the uncertain question Of SEE.
Should the forthcoming little Celestial stran-
ger, yet to be named, prove to be son,
he will be the legitimate heir, and TsE-r1EN
must step down and out and in the event Of
his accession the Empress Mother and En-
press-Dowager would be appointed joint
Regents during the Princes minority.
Should the stranger prove to be daughter,
Of course TsE-r1EN would be free to 20 on
with his ruling Il not, then he must fight
for his throne, and as he has possession of it,
that is a great point to his advantage. The
civil war therefore hangs upon the sex of
AIuTEs child. It is to be hoped that the
fair young Acknowledged widow may have
q boy, and that she will be able
to assert and make good his succession to the
throne against the rebels. She has done her
duty in providing to the best Of her ability
for son to the late Emperor, and it is to be
hoped that she Will not be disappointed in
giving birth to female Celestial, the only
use for which in China is drowning in the
-Kiang.

| and bloody war already threatens the peaoe
Of that Celestial Empire, where peace fo1
fifty yeass past has only been spasmotlo. Re
beillons, revolutions, and wars with foreign

d century. TAu-KwANo assembled the throne

upon tbs throne long was engaged in the
opium war with Great Britain, which ended
in his discontinue in 1912, and the compul-
sory payment Of a large indemnity. In 1851,
he got into further trouble with Great Brit
ain and France, which brought about
another war lasting year or two aud result
ing in his final defent- In addition to the
foreign wars, tho Emperor had had his hands
full OF rebenions to look after, the most
serious Of which was the great TAPPING rebel
lion leaded BY HuSa S1S-rsuEN, who assumed
the title of Heavenly Prince. This rebellion
was maintained until 1864, when Ningpo, the
rebel Capital, WAS captured, and with its fall
the Heavenly Prince no longer attempted
to reach the throne. The other i'm.
portant revolutionary movements were the
Mohammedan rebellion in Yunnan and
the Northwest, headed by Tu-wEn-s1 or
Sultan SuLrrAAN, and the rebellion among
the A1ohammedan Dungenes, both Of
which were suppressed by the Emperor, but
at the loss Of considerable territory, The
death Of the Emperor occurred soon after
the close Of the war. TAu-KwANo YVES guc-
