Last Saturday the special grand jury of
Cook county, ILL.,, finished its work on the
election frauds of the city of Chicago, and
returned indictments against 249 judges of
election. In its report the jury expressed its
conviction that the election laws of the state
we're inadequate to secure safe and honest
returns" Out of the III election precincts
in the city there were only seven in which
there were not violations of the election laws
in November through either ignorance, care
lessness or criminal intent One of the latest
revelations is a sample of the whole. The
people were called upon to vote for or against
special appropriation of 500 900 for the
police department. This was declared car
ried, whereas in fact it was defeated by over
10, 900 votes.

By curious coincidence Senator Edmunds
had an snti.dynsmite bill on which he had
been working for some time, all ready to be
presented in the Senate last Saturday Just as
the news of the London explosion reached
the capital. The bill provides that any per-
son in the United States, who makes or sells
any explosive with the intent to use it for
the destruction of life or property in this
country or abroad, shall be deemed guilty of
felony, and on conviction shall be severely
punished The person who aids in such
manufacture, and any person transporting or
delivering it, is also held guilty of felony.
On the same day Mr.. Bayard promptly intro
duced resolution expressing the "indigna.
ton, horror and detestation" of the Senate
at the late "monstrous crimes against civil
cation" in London. This resolution was
passed on Monday, no one except Riddle
berger of Virginia opposing it. The feeling
in Congress is strong and universal against
the outrage, and much satisfaction is ex-
pressed in London at the attitude Of our peo-
pie on the subject.

THE ENGLISH GET GOOD NEWS PROM EGYPT.
A despatch from Gen. Wolseey received
Wednesday at the British war office brought
good news from Gen. Stewart and the Nile
expedition, the first which has been received
since the announcement of the victory at Abu
Klea wells January H. noted last week. The
dispatches state that Gen. Stewart is safe at
Gubat near Metemneh on the Nile, and is al
ready in communication with Gordon. The
march from Abu Klea wells was conducted
under the most trying circumstances. Two
days after the battle on the l7th, another bat.
tie was fought about league from the Nile
in which 2000 British troops we're victorious
over 1000 Of the MAhdi's forces with only Is
men killed and G3 wounded while the Mahdi
lost 250 killed and over 1000 wounded. Gen.
Stewart was badly wounded in the thigh
Though not fatally hurt he is disabled for the
remainder OF the campaign. Dispatches have
been received at Metemneh from Gen. Cor
don which state that his situation is by no
means as desperate as supposed, and he thinks
he could hold out at Khartoum for years.

The common idea that the minimum rate
of coinage of silver dollars enjoined by law
is only 50, 1000, 600 month is mistake and
an understatement The silver law obliges
the government to coin So, 900, 900 worth of
silver bullion into standard dollars every
month. Thus, the lower the bullion falls
the larger the prescribed coinage becomes
In other words, the less desirable the dollars
the more the country has to take OF them.
Last month 1881, 165 silver dollars were
coined. In the last calendar year 2S, 1885,
1915 of the dishonest pieces were msnufac-
tured. Secretary McCuloch has just asked
Congress for half a million dollars to build
additional vaults for the storage of the dol
lars, and another 800, 900 is wanted to pay
for bringing 1000 tons of them on from the
San Francisco mint where there is no room
for them. But still the folly goes on.
