CHICAGO is troubled because an attempt is
being made by hot-headed reformers to de
prive the prisoners in the county Jail OF their
beer. The average Chicagoan looks upon the
privilege of drinking beer as birthright
which the commission OF no crime can take
away. The indignant citizens have rushed
into print, and one of them fiercely asserts
that ''there is no reason why the untortunates
confined in the county Jail should be deprived
of this small luxury"

INDIANA doesn't believe that education is
preventative of crime, and points in sup
port of her position to the statistics Of her
pententiary, which show that there are 322
convicts who can read and write, and only 30
who can do neither But it should be borne
in mind that the 322 have probably been edu-
Gated to believe in imitation and paper money,
and that is rather worse than no education at
all, and quite as conducive to dishonesty.

A PEW DAYS AGO, says the Boston
Journal, two Boston gentlemen, while
hunting in the marshes. had the misfor-
tune to drive their mare into bog, into
which she sank to her middle The two
gentlemen Jumped out. one on each side,
and attempted to lift the animal. "Now
she rises" shouted one. Yes; another
lift and she is all right. responded the
other. In less than sixty seconds, in
stead of raising the horse. the two
sportsmen were buried to their armpits,
and the rising Of the horse had been .
bit of deception caused by their sinking.
I'VE crawlsd out" says one of the gen.
tlenen. land as We sought dry land 1
came to the conclusion that Gus effort to
raise that mare was based upon the
Wendell Philips theory of financial
salvation"

A Planters View Of the Southern
Labor Problem.

Mr.. George W. Adair. a citizen Of
Atlanta, Ga, writes to an exchange:
Before the war kept four negroes on
my lot. WASH" a man-of-all-wOrk.
valued at fifteen hundred dollars; Sarah,
No. cook. fourteen hundred dollars;
Harriet, a house girl. twelve hundred
dollars, and Nancy, nurse, nine hun
dred dollars. The legal interest (seven
per cent. on the value of these slaves
was three hundred and fifty dollars per
annum. and 1 had TO feed. clothe. pay
doctors bills, etc. Now ! have the same
service performed at three hundred dol
lars per annum. feed these hired ser
wants. but furnish no clothing nor pay
doctors bills, ard get the same service
per month for less money than when l
owned slaves, and il they die l lose
nothing. Now. when acquire my CAPT.
tai can put it in other property. instead
of locking it up in slaves. This. l think.
illustrates the whole question. The
landowner can avail himself Of negro
labor to-day at less cost than when he
had to pay for the slave and take care of
him. This labor cannot be controlled
as absolutely as slave labor, and more or
les irregularities grow out OF 1t; stlll II
Is available and susceptible Of being
used to great profit by the landowner.
Planters who owned slaves, who now re-
main upon their land and give personal
attention to the crops, can make more
clear money from the soil than under
the old system. The South is becoming
every year more familiar with f.es labor,
and understands better how to manage
It. She is becoming more sel:-reliant |
and self-sustaining.

Ex GOVERNOR WAsEBURS, of Wiseon-
sin, has taken the stump for the Repub-
leans in that State. He is az uncom-
promising advocate of hard money, and
aims to make the currency question the
leading one in the Wisconsin canvass as
it has been in Ohio: In a speech last
Thursday at Baraboo, Wis. he said:
Why gold-gamblers; wheat scaIpers,
spectators, and soldiers of fortune gen.
orally, should want imitation and fiuctu-
ating prices l can understand; but why
an honest man should prefer the shadow
to the reality ! cannot understand. l
remember the time well when hard
money was a cardinal principle of the
Democratic party, which we supposed
meant something; and it is sad COM
mentary on the morals of the times,
when We now find this party discarding
the only valuable principle it had left,
and starting on the crooked ways of dis
marching directly to repudia-
ton and national disgrace.

The Liverpool Post is authority for
the statement that Carlyle declines with
scorn the degree of LID, conferred by
Harvard University, and that he says
that American universities are "sem-
blances;" their degrees the "silliest
sham feathers, and that to be asked to
join in heading your long line of
DID, and Ii D.'s-a line of pompous
little fellows hobbling down to posterity

The decision Of the British Admiralty,
| generating Admiral Tarleton from all
blame in the matter of the collision be-
tween the two men-of-war Vanguard and
Iron Duke, has caused much astonish-
ment and dissatisfaction in England. 1t
is incomprsheasible to persons who have
read the evidence given at the court
martial. The court decided that the
collision was the direct result OF the high
rate of speed maintained by the ships Of
the squadron during the dense fog which
prevailed at the time. The rate of speed
was appointed by Admiral Tsrleton HIM
self. and when the fog came on he omit
ted. according to the testimony. to fire
q heavy gun as signal to move more
slowly. Tho ships were steaming in
columns. the Iron Duke being only three
cable lengths astern of the Vanguard,
and no signal. by cannon or otherwise,
was given to change this order of move
msnt, although several witnesses testi
fed to the great danger of steaming by
columns in SO dense = fog. The exon
Grafton of Captain Hickey, of the Iron
Duke. is equally difficult to understand,
especially when we remember that his
navigating lieutenant was dismissed from
his ship. Captain Dawkins, of the Van
guard, was held to strict personal ac-
countabiiity for the safety OF his ship.
although the management OF the vessel
was partly conducted by his subordi-
mates. He has been dismissed from
command, whereas Captain Hickey, who
was below deck when the course OF his
vessel was changed, escapes from all
blame, although it is plain that he ought
to have been on deck under the circum-
stances. The severity with which the
officers of the Vanguard have been pun
ishsd contrasts strangely with the leniiv
displayed toward Admiral Tarleton and
Captain Hickey, and it is not surprising
that the Admiralty is suspected of favor
ing one officer at the expense of the
other. 1t Is more likely that Il blander
has been committed, for there are not
many wise heads at the Admirably at the
present time The man who deliberately
Insulted popular feeling in England by
naval officers to surrender fugi-
tive slaves to their legal owners are
not likely to prove the best judges in a
question involving the responsibility of
a collision at sea. The general verdict
will be that not only Captain Dawkins,
but Captain Hickey and Admiral Tarle- |
ton were each partly responsible for the |
and the British sense of justice |
will certainly rebel against the punish
nent Of one man for the sins Of three.

New York, October 21.-The Herald
editorially says of the new Secretary OF
the Interior: 1.-The satisfaction expressed
by the country when Delano Was got rid
OF seems to have been premature. No
body imagined the possibility of such
successor AS ex-senator Chandler, of
Michigan. Until this strange selection,
President Grants latter Cabinet appoint
ments have been respectable, and the
officers selected being a great improve
ment on their predecessors. Mr.. Bris-
tow in place of Richardson. Mr.. Je veil

succeed Attorney General Williams were
appointments Of such conceded fitness
that the country felt warranted in ex-
pecting q very different successor to

regarded by the Republican party Of his

denim the appointment.

A SERIOUS TEAMING AcCIDENT-Yes-
terday afternoon. about = o'clock, Thos.
Nalty, a teamster in the employ Of Sol.
Noel. met with a shocking accident that
resulted in his death at O'Clock last
evening. The accident happened on the
Divide in front of the Empire Hotel
Nuity Was in the set Of coupling togeth-
ct two wagons that were heavily loaded
with ore, when the back action, or rear
wagon. suddenly surged forward and he
wss caught between the two ponderous
vehicles and terribly crushed in the re-
Sion Of the lungs and heart. The two
wagons contained about 80. 600 pounds
of ore. and he was caught between the
ends Of the two boxes in such manner
rs to crush in the whole lower part of
his breast. He was released as soon as
possible, by hauling the front wagon
forward, when he fell to the ground, the
blood gushing in n torrent from his
mouth. He also bled profussly from the
nose and ears. Had he dropped TO the
ground when he saw the rear wagon adj
vancing upon him, he would have es-
capped all injury. but he seemed for the
moment incapable of proper thought and
action, and merely held up his arm as
though to ward OF the danger. The
wounded man was carried to a room iii
the rear of a restaurant near at hand,
where was promptly attended to by Drs.
McMeans and Weber He was uncon-
scious when lifted from the ground, and
SO remained up to the time of his death.
He lost almost sufficient blood to cause
his death, to say nothing of the shocking
manner in which his chest is crushed in.
An inquest will be held at o'clock this
Of yesterday.

The UxHoLY ALLIANcE.-The New
York .Stadts-Zeitunq of October Il says:
The declaration of the Catholic Tele-
graph and other newspapers of the same
religious denomination, that the Roman
Catholics of Ohio would vote the Demo-
cratic ticket to man, seems to have
been a false prophecy. The returns
from the election in that State show that
the clergy, with all their pains. sxerted
no remarkable influence over the mass
of voters. On the contrary, it looks as
if the rash and fanatical conduct of the
priests, and their otficious meddling in
politics, reused the stubbornness of
good many Catholics, and made them
resolve to support tho Republican ticket
in spite of the Church.

THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

The only interest of general politica
character which entered into what j.
called the judicial election in California
on Wednesday centered on tie choice o.
State Superintendent Of Public Instruc.
ton. Rev. o. p. Fitzgerald, of the
Methodist Church South. who had once
held this Office, had been made q lsgiti.
mate target for the shafts Of ridieule for
months There can be no doubt that
Mr.. Fitzgerald was the weakest candi-
date the Democracy could have put in
the field but had his election come of
at the regular State election there ia
little doubt he would have been chosen.
Probably it was . wise law which post
poned the election of State Superintend-
ent of Public Schools to the Judicial
election. The trainers Of the law GER
tainly thought that politics ought not to
enter upon . contest for a choice of this
But the Democracy having placed in
nomination a most bitter partisan for
this position, necessarily made the con-
test somewhat of the "red-hct order
The sin of Fitzgerald in changing the
school books in almost universal use
throughout the Northern, Middle and
Western States for Southern series"
Of readers prepared by one McGuffey,
was heinous enough in itself. Blu. peo-
pie generally thought this substitution
of readers was dictated by an honesty
born Of Southern prejudice. Within
few days Of the election. however,
charges were made against Fitzgerald
which iispelled the idea that he was ac-
:uated by honesty in 6isplaeing the
readers in use when he entered upon his
duties as State School Superintendent.
These charges declared him guilty Of re-
eeivirg bride Of three thousand dollars
for making the substitution. Fitzgerald
had Michel de Young. Chronicle re-
porter, arrested for libel for making this
charge on the day preceding the cleo
ton. A Chronicle reporter interviewed
Professor Bolarder, who declared that
the charge Of bribery was true. Added
to this. Fitzgerald's former partner, C.
A. klose, came out in q card on the
of the election, in which he
says he knows that o. P. Fitzgerald re-
eeived $1,000 "in payment for his ser
vices in securing change of text books"
This was evidently considered conclusive
by the people Of San Francisco, for q |
majority of the vote of that
eity il reported to have been cast for
Professor Carr. the Republican candi-
late. While We do not iudorse that |
species of warfare against o candidate
'or office which withholds its main
charges against him until too late to be
,efuted, we are of the opinion tina: Mr..
ought TO have been beaten.
That he has been is almost certain. He
should have been defeated without this
.harge of bribery. II it is true, We are
'orry for it. We would much rather
nave continued to believe him . high
oned rebel, who despised loyaly. than
o think guilty OF the rascality Of receiv-
ng bride for banishing books from our
dhools which contained extracts from

Hon. S. TEAoKLE WALLIs-The Baltimore
Times Democratic paper, has this to say of
Hon. Mr.. Wallis, the Reform candidate for At
torney General of Maryland:
"The announcement that Mr.. Wallis consents
to the use of his name as candidate for the At
torney Generalship creates much conversation.
The opinion, however, is universal, that he will
adorn the place If elected. His high culture, his
unspotted integrity of character, his lifelong de-
votion to principle-for which he had paid with
his body-and the total absence from his life of
place seeking and the arts Of the politician, are
everywhere recognized. His almost entire exclu-
sion from public life for the last decade, and the
substitution Of men morally and Intellectually
his interiors; furnish another evidence of the de-
plorable state of our local politics. During that
time he has been in complete accord with the
principles of the dominant party he has had the
respect and admiration Of all good men, and has,
amongst competent judges, been recognized as
pre-eminently fitted TO adorn the highest public
stations, and to reflect credit on his State. Yet,
that party has ignored him. Men who sought
office prospered, while men whom Office should
seek are left TO private lite Whatever may come
of the election, no citizen need doubt that he has
discharged high duty when he deposits his bal
lot for S. Teackle Wallis"
