POLITICAL SPECULATIoNs.-The Bal
timore american INDUCES in some specu-
lations upon the result of the Congressional
elections this fall, concluding that while
ii is certain the Senate will be democratic
after March 4th, 1879, the republicans
have a reasonable chance of capturing the
House, this fall, giving them the vantage
ground for the presidential race in 1880 !:
There are no evidences that either the
Hayes Republicans or those who do not en-
tirely sustain the President mean to surrender
the party to defeat for the reason that they
do not harmonic on Administration meas
ures. They recognize that victory in 1878
is essential towards securing another in 1880.
Il has already been established that after
March 4, 1879, the Democrats viii have. the
Senate in their control, but if the Republicans
can capture the House they will stand rela-
lively as well during the last two years of this
Administration as during the first two. Such
transfer of opposing political powers would
be curious, but by no means phenomenal, and
would even confer upon the Republicans the
best advantages for starting into the Presiden-
tial campaign two years hence.

The ultimate escape of all the parties to
the Presidential fraud is rapidly forcing
the conviction that only the mailed hand
is equal to the punishment of offences .;
this character, and that law is impotent.
The lesson will not be lost when another
Presidential election rolls around With
out the ballot is thoroughly guarded by
law, trouble may be anticipated. Another
returning board fraud would be visited
with eondign punishment which would
suffer no party to it to escape, and it wonld
be better for such conspirators that they
had never been born.

viii be another protracted struggle between

There is one great achievement for which
Earl Beaconsfeld's administration will blaze
above the multitude of ministries like a
sunflower in an acre Of MULLEN weeds. This
startling statesman may not have curbed
the ambition of Russia he may not have
maintained the glories of England's infv-
ence as one of the arbiters Of the East
he even presides over her destinies when
her "prestige" is rated at about the same
cheap restaurant yet the CULTS shall not
wash him down-he shall not altogether
die for has he not dazzled the eyes Of
waiting world with that rich product of his
romantic genius ''the Imperial Order of the
Crown of India, for ladies only ?" Now, at
last the world can see the significance
of the creation OF the Empire of
India That Empire was merely put up as
a peg on which to hang this Order. People
who Judge with the vulgar prejudices OF the
time thought the creation of that Empire
had relation to the supposed need of bring
ing the Indian dominion into more vital re-
lation with England; but the attitude of the
government through the present war has
shown that that was an idle fancy. Again,
therefore, that Empire arose as a great mys-
terry; but behold the solution comes aptly,
patty, brilliantly, like the dGnouement of
we'll constructed novel. For the reign of a
happy queen. chvalrously assisted by a
Minister of great romantic resources, this
creation is an appropriate glory. Ladies to
the front.

A Robbery OF Fifty Millions.

The Aldermanic committee which was ap-
pointed in July to investigate the Ring
frauds having concluded its labors have
made long report to the Board of Alder
men summing up the result 1t consists in
the main of recapitulation Of the testimony
taken by them; but, as the public is already
wearied and satiated with the oft-repeated
story, few persons will have patience to
read the report. The committee make it
appear that between January l., 1868, and
July l, 1871, the enormous sum of thirty
millions of dollars was fraudulently di-
verified from the city treasury by the corrupt
practices Of the Ring, and that this does not
include the amount stolen by the Ring in
the Board of Supervisors between 1860 and
1866. 1T is safe to assume" says the re-
port, "that from 1860 until July, 1871, the
people Of this city have been robbed to the
extent Of fifty millions of dollars at least. "
The amount recovered by all the suits
amounts to only sl,l1o, 525 and when the
legal expenses are deducted there is left rs
the total net amount recovered only 1916, 241,
or less than one-fitieth of the amount
stolen.
The report states that the energy Of the
prosecutions is pretty nearly spent, and it
holds out but slender prospect of a fur
Their recovery Of money or punishment of
the thieves 1t Endorses what it calls Mr.
O'Conors theory, that the main object OF
the prosecutions was to punish the Ring
thieves criminally and not to let them de-
generate into mere collection suits. The
committee claims that the testimony they
have taken is not useless, since it will
enable the city to defend itself against
suits pending against it to an amount of at
