thus taken, and the primary meeInB oeEoA-
crates into scramble between factions which
resort to the most disgraceful and fraudulent
devices to secure success. Thus 1t Is TINT
candidates and delegates, representing but
faction of the more disreputable class, aro
forced upon the people, and manage and get
absolute control of the machinery Of politics.
Under the circumstances, the primary sys-
tenn becomes perverted /; it defeats instead
of executing tho public will; it fills the pub
Lie service with scoundrels, thieves, 1oafers,
and incompetent men; makes peculation and
fraud Of common occurrence; and it de-
moralizes public sentiment. One of its most
dangerous results is That tho primary meet
ton, ballot-box stuf6nS, repeating, and false
returns in tho regular elections, and that
they offer q pecuniary reward to the whole
class of criminals, who are ready at any time
to enter into contract to nominate or elect
any person who will pay for the work.
There are two remedies for this condition
of things: ~ To purify the system, and (2)
the union of al honest people to defeat at
the polls the election of improper persons
nominated by dishonest means. Obviously,
the first of these is the better plan. The he
publican party has club organization IN
every ward in the city. There is no more
useful feature of an organization than
knowledge of the names and residences of all
the voters in every precinct of every ward-
This is almost indispensable to any
thorough, intelligent action. The Repubi-
can Club Of each ward should have
full record of all the voters, Democratic as
well as Republican these should be record
ed, and the registration thus made should ab-
solutely govern the right of suffrage at the
Republican primary meetings. No person
unwilling to register himself on the books of
the ward club as Republican should bo
allowed to vote at Republican primary meet
ing and to protect the registration from
fraud by colonization, Or by sudden inronds
of men from other wards to vote at the pri-
maries, this registration should be closed
some weeks before the meetings. It is an
easy matter for these clubs to canvass the
wards by blocks aud ascertain the names
and residences Of the whole number of voters,
and their general politics and this informa-
ton, while furnishing complete defense
against false voting at the primaries, will also
servo as check upon and the means Of de-
tccting stuhing tho boxes, or false returns at
tho regular elections. As We said in the be-
ginning, the primary system rests upon the
only true principle by which the popular
choice Of candidates can be made. The evil
is in the perversions and abuses Of TINT sys-
tenn, and the non-participation Of the people
therein, not only rendering fraud possible,
but inviting it by the immunity offered The
remedy therefore is not in the abolition Of the
system, but in its publication and by pre-
ventiye regulations.

Chicago is frequently advertised to the
milton in manner scarcely calculated to re-
fleet credit on the community, though serv-
ing I'll the same to fasten public attention
upon this marvellous city. We have become
as conspicuous through our calamities as our
good fortune. Mr.. BARNEY CAuLfH1D
threatens to be one Of these. The peculiar
unfairness and capacity to blunder which he
has exhibited since he went to Congress have
given him an unenvieble sort of prominence,
which Chicago must, perforco, share with
him. He began his career Of misrepresent-
ing this city by appearing on the floor of
Congress as an apologist for Ben Hill and
the fre-eating Confederate sentiment in the
Democratic Congress. This was peculiarly
aggravating in view Of the fact that Chicago
Was as loyal n city as there was in
the War, and probably contributed as
largely as any other to the successful
prosecution of the Wa1. As long as CAu1-
FIELD was content to stand by. the Confcder-
ates in Congress, the Democrats stood BY
him; but when, as Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Department of
Justice, CAu1FnLn began to blunder, the
Democrats lost confidence, and have now
robbed him Of his opportunity. They have
taken from his committee the investigation Of
the allegations against Secretary Bn1srow, and
turned the matter over to the Committee on
Ways and Mems. Congress has also notified
Mr.. CAu1rre1D. that he must henceforth con-
duct his other investigations publicly. His
colleagues are evidently disguised with the
failure in the Presidential sensation which
CAu1r1rLD had promised them, and are also
determined not to lend themselves to the
smirching Of character by Misrepresentation
of secret investigation which subsequent pub
icity shows in its true light CAu1rH1ps
foTte is evidently not Congressional service.

Captain C0wd0n's Report.

A number of our best citizens convened
at the Office of Judge Brown yesterday eve.
ming to hear the report of Captain John
COwdOn on the subject of the gateway to
the aea and the reclamation of the Missis-
sippi lowlands. Judge Brown presided over
the meeting and Richard Rawlings acted
as secretary. After the reading of the re-
port, which was adopted, Colonel A. j. KEEL
lar and s. j. Camp were appointed q COM
mittee to superintend the publication of the
report in pamphlet form. Captain COwdon,
in his report, discusses and shows the i'm
possibility of ever obtaining an outlet of
more than twenty feet OF water by any
system of dredging at the mouth Of the
Mississippi He also shows that perpetual
permanenoy can not be claimed for any
canal that may enter the Mississippi from the
east side. He deliberately discusses the
jetty system in Europe: as there applied it
is utterly unlike the Mississippi, and can
net secure the water this valley requires.
He next discusses the Barataria canal,
showing that it is the only route that will
be permanent and reliable, affording as
much water as at any other American port.
Captain COwdOn closes bis report by show
ing that only by the outlet system can the
low lands be reclaimed. Captain Cowdon
has given much time to the investigation OF
this subject. For years he has, through the
columns of the Memphis prese, labored to
impress its importance upon the public
mind, and his report should be carefully
read by every resident of the great Missis-
sippi valey.-Memphis Avalanche.

Tho Moral of Mrs. Gaines, Case.
The New York Graphic says:

The case of Mrs. Gaines has moral. Her
father bequeathed her property in New Or
leans valued at several millions of dollars.
An attempt was made to break the will on
account of the alleged status of Mrs. Gaines.
The Louisiana courts decided the case
against her, but finally, after twenty.one
years of weary, persistent, and costly effort,
she succeeded in gaining q hearing before
the United States Supreme Court, which
sets the decision Of the parish and State
courts aside, and authorizes her to take the
case before the Federal Circuit Court for
final adjudication. Twenty-one years of
costly and exasperating litigation to get q
decision which should have been obtained in
six months! And this crime against justice
done to Q struggling woman shows the
miserably demoralized condition of our
courts and how diegracefully low the legal
profession has sunk. Mrs. Gaines has en-
ployed lawyer after lawyer to manage her
case, and it seems as though each new at
torney got all the money she was able or
willing to pay, and then passed her over to
another equally hungry and extortionate
practitioner. They consumed her substance
but gave her no assistance. She has epent
the best part of her life in trying to get her
rights, and the legal profession, which
should have chivalrOusly afforded her the
utmost aid, has interposed every possible
bubble and invented every conceivable
pretext for delay. The simple fact is the
severest reflection on the honor and ethics
of the American bar.
