THE SUPERVISORS AND THE JAIL.

Although the Supervisors at their session
this week were unwilling, on account OF the
pressure of work upon them at home, being
mostly tarmers,) to take up IN addition to the
business Of revising and equaliziDg the assess
men,, the subject of erecting new county
jail, we are satisfied, from what conversation
we have had with a number Of them, that
there is really very little opposition IN the
Board 70 the erection of a jail, and that at the
regular meeting in September the subject
will be promptly taken up ana acted upon
The Apri! vote on the subject having been
cast evidently under wrong information or
impressions on the subject, we find will have
little influence with the Supervisors when
they come to act They are all reasonable,
practical, sensible men, and will do right,
honestly as well as fearlessly.
The subject addresses itself to the good
sense as well as the discretion of the Board,
and If they are allowed to exercise both with
out undue hullabaloo or pressure on either
side, we are entirely prepared to abide the
issue. In this confidence of right decision,
It strikes US that the mandamus or other pro-
cceding in the circuit court on the subject
might as well, for the present, be dispensed
with Sensible men generally do what is
right and proper, when the case is thorough
~ understood, readily and cheerfully, but
there is great deal of the mule in human
nature, and people are sometimes surprising
~ perverse and stubborn under an attempt
to drive them.

The Lcckport PhGnEr commenting ON a
recent statement of the FREE GRADER that
Gov. Tilden had opposed the resolution of
the democratic national convention of 1864,
declaring "the war a failure" propounds
q conundrum as follows
Why did he not declare open war on that
resolution which declared our efforts to put
down the rebellion a failure?
There has been a great deal of persistent
hard lying about that resolution. GOV. Til.
den did not oppose its adoption in committee
because it declared the war a failure, for
there is no such declaration in it. On that
point the resolution stated only what was
simple, palpable, universally admitted self.
evident fact, that up 20 that time, May 2jtb,
1864, the experiment of war had failed TO
pat down the rebellion and restore the Union.
That was before the surrender Of Vicksburg
and the battle Of Gettysburg, and is anybody
foolhardy enough to assert that up to that
time the war had not failed to restore the
Union? AS there was no disputing the fact
there could be no objection to stating il.
But what Tllden opposed, then and after.
wards before the people, with Mcclellan in
his letter Of acceptance and nine.tenths of
the democrats who voted for him, was the
proposition IN the resolution TO favor, what
Lincoln and Horace Greeley and other re-
publicans afterwards favored, peace con.
ference, or convention of the states" north
and south, 10 see If the objects of the war
could not as well be obtained by peaceable
negotiation as by further effusion of blood,
expenditure Of money, destruction of pro-
perty, suffering, &c. McClelan's letter of
acceptance repudated that idea by insisting
that the shortest and best way to restore the
Union was by a sharp, active and vigorous
prosecution of the war, and Tlden is accus-
ed of having inspired that part of McClelan's
letter, because those were well known to be
his own sentiments at the time. But as to
declaring that the war must ultimately fail
of lis object, or might or ought 10 fail, there
were not 100 democrats north Of the Ohio
river in 1864 that entertained any such idea,
and neither al Chicago or anywhere else did
any democratic convention or meeting ever
say so. The Phentr might as we'll at once
drop that lie.

MORE WHISKY RING TRIUMPHs.

Popular indignation over the ruthless re-
moval of Iaryan has been allowed no time to
subside before Grant repeats the outrage by
thrusting Postmaster General jewell and In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Pratt out OF
office. Both are hurled overheard because
they had the temerity TO find fault with the
removal Of Iaryan and Grants palpable
trucking to the whisky ring. But Grant, in
obedience to his pledge to Hayes Immediately
after his nomination, makes no important
appointments or removals without consulting
Hayes.
Thus, with the approval of Hayes, the work
goes on. Bristow and Jewell are kicked out
of the cabinet for being enemies of the wins.
ky ring. Then Yaryan, Blutord Wilson,
Pat. Dyer and other officials obnoxious to
the ring are thrust out. Bangs at Chicago is
ordered to dismiss the prosecution against
Wadsworth and Ward; Jake Rehm, who con.
fessed to robbing the government of half a
million, Is let off with fine of $4,000 and
six months in the Cook county iail, which
means comfortable up stairs room with
meals supplied from firs,class restaurant;
and two of the Milwaukee whisky thieves are
pardoned, while tls said Mrs. Avery is on
her way from Washington 10 Missouri with
Avery's pardon in her pocket. Next will
follow the pardon of Mckee, Mcdonald
Joyce, Bingham and the rest and the whisky
ring will again be in its glory, robbing the
government of three millions a month and
contributing half of it 10 the election of
Hayes and Wheeler!

CONGRESS-.

In spite of the bowling of the republican
papers about the inefficiency Of the lower
house of congress, it happens that the house
had done up its business in good season and
was ready to adjourn two weeks ago. The
senate, however, has not only retarded bust
ness by mulishly refusing to pass the appro-
priation bills because the house had omitted
to make about $40000,0O0 Of useless appropri
atoms, but is Il month behind the house in
general business. The house has passed and
the senate has thus far failed TO act on the
river and harbor appropriation bill, the bill
making further provision for the distribution
of the inappropriate money of the Geneva
award, the bill designating plan for the Pa,
cifc railroads to repay the government the
moneys advanced on their bonds, etc, and
the bill for the equalization of bounties, be-
sides other important bills, such as the bill
to carry out by execution the provisions of
the fourteenth amendment to the constitution
concerning citizenship and TO defend certain
rights of citizens of the United States in for.
eign countries, to declare the country north
of the North Platte and east of the Big Horn
mountains in Wyoming open to exploration
and settlement and to provide for the pro
lection of the Texas frontier on the Rio
Grande.
Meantime the senate, instead Of attending
to the urgent business of the country is TOOL.
ing away its time on the Belknap trial,
although the members know full well that
the trial, as the senate now stands, can end
only in acqulttal, as over a third of the SEN
ate have voted that the senate has no right to
try Belknap. They are determined, however,
to force trial and acquittal at this session,
as before the next session new members may
change the present attitude of that body on
the subject
The conference committee on Thursday
finally came to an agreement on the silver
bill, and that measure has become law I'll

border in BessaIaba watching the progress
of events, ready TO pounce on the ruthless
Turk in the name of religion and humanity.
Austria, "in selfdefencc," is also compelled
to arm, Prussia is massing her armies to be
ready for any contingency, and the activity
in the British navy yards is greater than ii
has been any time in half century. The
peace of Europe, when the ugly eastern
Question" is involved, always hangs by so
brittle a thread, that the most trlfling cause
may break it. The balance of power Of the
great states and empires is so delicately adj
justed on the point Of the bayonet that any
little jar may preciptate a violent disturb
ance. 1t can be compared only to great
bombshell loaded with fearful explosives and
dotted over with fuses which any spark, no
matter how accidentally applied, might set
fixing toward the charge. Even the flames
of a burning COW shed in Herzegovina" as
writer remarks, might prove sufficient to-
destroy the combustlblc walls OF Europe's
temple OF peace While thus it is still pos,
sible that the big war cloud now hanging
over Eastern Europe may pass over without
involving a general storm, all the probabill..
ties certainly just now seem against 1t.

The ugliest conundrum that is beginning
to stare the republican leaders at Washington
in the face is What 10 do with Grant, His
removal of Bristow, Yaryan, Jewell, Pratt,
Dyer, Wilson, &c, and his threatened pardon
of Mckee, Joyce, Mcdonald and the rest of
the convicted whisky thieves, seem TO indi
cate that he is mad and in the dangerous hu-
NOR of bull in china shop. But the
promptness with which his party in the sen
ale confirmed the appointment of JEWELS
successor shows that Grant has lost no cast
at least with item. 1t Is likely that in recov-
ering the good will and efficient help of the
whisky ring Grant is confident he can help
the election of Hayes more than he will in
