POLITICAL MATTERS.
MEETING OF THE ILLINOIS DEMOCRATIC.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE

CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug 8.-The Demo
cratic state central committee met here to-
day for business. The designations Of Hon.
j. II. johnson at large and G.. w. Van
HoOrbike Of the sixteenth district were
presented and accepted, and A. ]. Fryer and
Gen, L. B, Parsons were chosen to I'LL the
vacancies.
The committee appointed at the meeting
last night, to prepare plan Of organization,
reported through Hon. John Forsythe, and
their report was adopted The plan is
based on the list Of voters in each precinct
and on list Of votes actually cast, and the
secretary was authorized to procure the
necessary stationery to put it into practical
operation.
Favorable reports were made from all
but the Second. Fourth, Fifth, Seventh and
Ninth congressional districts.
Mr.. Forsythe called attention to the err
rors in the reports of election of 1876, AZ
published by authority of the secretary of
state. The figures published show greatly
different from the official returns on file in
the office OF the secretary Of state. showing
great negligence on the part of the stat.
printer expert, whose duty it is to read the
proof of all work printed By the state. For
Sythe also showed that in many of the leg
islative districts the vote for Democratic leg
islative candidates did not show the sam.
number OF Democratic votes as did the vote
for Tilden. Other irregularities were also
shown, all tending to reduce the effect of
Democratic votes. 1t was ordered by the
committee that system of check tally lists
be used at each of the polls this fall, in or
der to prevent such errors or frauds in the
future.
After the transaction of some routine bust
ness the committee adjourned to p. m,
when meeting was held at the state house.
Addresses were made by Hon. $. W. Nc
Medley, Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer, S. s. Mars
hall, John r. Eden, John VI. Palmer and J.
c. Robinson. A great number of Demo
Gratis were in attendance from all parts Of
the state, and great confidence was express
ed in the ability OF the party to carry the
state.

sively in his late newspaper article that
Governor Tilden believed thoroughly in the
Democratic doctrine that the two houses of
congress is committed by the constitution
the power TO count the electoral vote This,
however, is equally the belief of Senators
Thurman, Bayard and Ransom Of the
electoral commission, and of Senator Conk-
ling and other Republican senators who
aided in the passage Of the electoeal COM
mission bill So Mr.. Tilden is entitled
TO no special credit on that ground. Mr..
Marble further attempts to show that Gov
ernor Tilden was earnestly opposed
to the electoral commission. He succeeds
in showing that the Governor opposed
it for time as matter Of expedien-
cy and opposed some details Of the original
bill. The eminent senators mentioned, and
many others, were OF one opinion, and Gov.
ernor Tllden was of another They are all
entitled to honor for the parts they took, and
we may hope that all Of them, having ac-
copied the commission as necessity only,
will help to put affairs in such shape that
another one will not be created

that will never be forgotten.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Among the
details of the army reorganization bill,
not specially mentioned in the report Of
the Burnside commission, is provision
that hereafter all vacancies In the
grade Of second lieutenants shall be
tlled by appointments from graduates
Of the military academies, by promo
tion of meritorious soldiers IN the army
and that the general officers shall be se-
licited from the army-major generals
from brigadiers and brigadiers from
field officers of the line. These are the
provisions, together with the section
mentioned in the report. which re-
quires appointments to grades above
second lieutenants to be made by lineal
appointments into the army. It is
claimed, therefore, by members Of the
commission, that the incidental repeal
Of section 1 ,l28 of the revised statutes,
which forbids the appointments into
the army of any person who served in
the confederate cause, will not open
the door to the appointment of confed-
crate officers or soldiers to any grade
except second lieutenants, and that only
through graduation at military acad-
emies or by promotion from the ranks.

Boston, Dec. 13.-Judge Lowell has
decided that some S40O, 900 in notes Of
the Union mills, of Fall River, signed
only by the treasurer, when the bylaws
Of the corporation required that they
be countersigned by the president, were
valid claims against the concern, on the
ground that the rule had not been OBJ
served for number of years before the
company became bankrupt. The Judge
also held that the notes had been
bought by innocent holders before ma
turity, and that these parties could not
be held responsible for the application of
the corporations money, or be affected
by any fraudulent use of the proceeds
of the notes.
