The requirement that all legislation Olen be completed at least three days before the time fixed for adjotn-nment, will give the President an opportunity of at last reading the bills which he is asked to opportunity of which he is now practically deprived.

It will give three days in which these bills can be examined, and any frauds, interpolations, and jobs included therein can be detected and exposed, aid, if necessary, can be corrected by being sent back to Congress for legislative remedy. We think this reform in the processes of legislation will reach one of the greatest buses of the times, and the evil which is sapping the foundations of the Republic. It will arrest the great progrese of corruption. It will make legislation responsible, and, therefore, comparatively honest We think the Republican party the proper organ for presenting this reform to the people, and making it a part of the policy of -the party until accomplished.

dimEr bi-SINESS NOTIC.1c.S. The rostms.ster-General has a rich mine to work in the unearthing of the frauds in the mail-route contracts. There has probably been no branch of the almhiistrative government, unless it is the Indian contracts, where the frauds have been so numerous and costly. The late developments seem to indicate that they have become regularly systematized with the help of clerks in the Post-Office Department, so that it was next to impossible to defeat them. One KETTLES, a professional contractor, has been in the habit of subsidizing clerks to inform him of the lowest bids, and then squeezing in his own bids after the time had expired and under the cover of counterfeits of the official stamps.

KErrars is probably not the only man who has been engaged in this sort of business. Indeed, the manner in which he was exposed was so peculiar as to create the suspicion that the clerk who exposed him was in the interest of some other contractor for this clerk, instead of going directly to the head of the Department with the information that KETTLES had tried to bribe him, secretly threw out the latterts bids. It was in looking these up that Kerrazs brought on the ea-pose. We have entire confidence in the ability as well as the purpose of rostmaster-General Jswm.r.. to break up the whole system.

The tax-payers cl Chicago pay dearly for this suanual disgrace and public demoralization. The mobs that gathered at the polls on Tuesday voted away nearly 4100,000 of the public moneys, as follows south Town $50.10) North Town 14,00 West Town Total A nnmber of reputable citizens on the South Side made a desperate effort to defeat this grab.

They went to the town-meeting, incurring a disgusting contamination and risking their lives thereby; but the roughs, and gamblers, and thieves, and bummers, would not allow them to be heard. Some obscure and irresponsible fellow moved the appropriation of $:50,000, put the motion himself, declared it carried, and adjourned the meeting. There was just one yell, and $50,000 of the public moneys was gone. This is the amount which will be eaten up during the year in South Chicago. We have already explained that the town organization in Chicago has nothing to do, and that there is no necessity for levying taxes except to pay the town officers, who are useless nuisances; so that $50,000 was voted simply for the support of four proleasional tax-eaters.

The Legislature might have saved Chicago the cost and disgrace of these town-rneectings. But, though Cook County has seven Senators and twenty-one Representatives, not one among the entire delegation has made an effort to correct the shocking evil. On the contrary, the Legislature has passed much of its time, under the dictation of Speaker 'Luxes, in the effert to make all elections in Chicago and other rninois cities as disgraceful and fraudulent as those of last Tuesday. While they have net succeeded in accomplishing this directly, they have only to let the town-elections continue in Chicago, and their influence will in time produce the same result as if fraudulent voting were legalized by the repeal of the Registry act. The illegal voting at town-elections, unrestrained and unpunished, will soon be extended to all other elections.

What is the remedy Shall we lie down under the outrage, and conclude that popular government cannot be divested of such frauds? Certairdy not without an effort. The people of Cook County must endeavor to send a delegation to the next Legislature which will evince some little interest in their welfare. Meanwhile, let the injunction suit against the payment of the illegal salaries in South Chicago be pressed to a final decision. If the town officers can he limited to the compensation defined by the statute, the disgrace of our spring elections may stall continue, but it will not be so costly. We Oink, too, that the point should be contested that the Town Boards have no legal existence in Cook County.

When the Constitution provided that Cook County should have the Commissioner ystem, and that Town Governments be uniform in the State, we think that the Town Boards were thereby abolished in this county. At all events the Supreme Court ehould have an opportunity to pass upon the question. No effort should be left untried to rid Chicago of these annual frauds, which rob tax-payers of their money and render popular elections infamous. If the Legislature will do nothing for the tax-payers end decent there is no hope fos it at present, then they must do sea nething for themselves, or pray that popular government in cities may be supplanted by a dictatorship.

The only buainess of the Commission is to consume a given number of thousands of dollars antemlly, and for this, by fictitious suits, they seek to amuse the Grangers, fool the public, and bedevil the railroad. Such a Commission might well be abolished.

A STRANGE POLITICAL We have already explained the nature and import of the Geanaaz bill in Ohio. It simply requires that the Directors or Superintendents of penel, reformatory, and eleemosynary institutions (which include penitentiaries, jails, reform schools, workhouses, public hospitals, and asylums) shall extend to all inmates equal facilities for receiving the ministrations of ministem of their own religious denomination, provided that such ministrations shall be given without any cost to the State. The law is intended to prevent the exclusion oi Catholic priests from these institutions, and, to this extent, it is entirely in keeping with the spirit of our Government ancl with the Constitution of the State of Ohio, which provides that No person shell be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any form of worship, against his consent," and that "No be given by law to any religious society." In itself, therefore, the bill is not only harmless, but entirely right and proper. But its discussion, pending the passage, has developed evidence of a curious, andwe think improper and dangerous, alliance between the Democratic party and the Catholic Church in the State of Ohio, which, if maintained, may lead to the most disastrous results. After the bill was proposed, Mr.

Gecnaszt, its author, addressed an open letter to a Cincinnati gentleman, in which he held that more than half of the Democratio party in the State of Ohio consisted of Irish and, German Catholics, and the Catholics had a prior claim upon that party and in which he also intimated that, if this claim were not distinctly recognized, the support of the Catholics would be withdrawn from the party. While this letter was an unusual and improper assertion of rehglons claims -upon a political party, it was only a personal declaration. But it was followed up by a still more curious and improper article in the Telegraph, of Cincinnati, the organ of the Church in Ohio, from which the following is an extract: The political party with which nine-tenths of the Catholic voters adillate, on account of peat servictls, that they will never forget, now controls the State. Withdraw the support which Catholics have given to it, and it will faU in this city, county, and State as speedily as it has risen to its long-lost position and power. That party is now upon its trial Mr.

Ganzais's will test the sincerity of its profession-This is something more than a declaration that the Democrats of Ohio must support the GEGILlat bill or lose the Catholic vote which gives it its power in that State. It is also a declaration in effect that the Democratic party in Ohio must support every suggnsted or proposed by the Catholic Church, in the interest of that Church, or else lose the Catholic vote. For if the threat is effectively made in one case, it may be effectively made in every. other. Herein lies the danger.

While the claim of the Catholics iXt the GEGElaN bill is just and fair, this is no assurance that their demands in every other case will be equally just and fair. As a matter of fact, their clergy are already demanding in New York and in various parts of the country that either they shall be relieved from taxation for the support of the public schools, or that a proportion of the school-fund shall be set aside for the support of their parochial, dogmatic schools. This sectarian demand is so repugnant to American ideas and the spirit of our institutions that it can never be conceded. But when it takes a practical shape in Ohio, Mr. GEostasi, the Catiagie Telegraph, the priesthood, and Church, may wield the whip over the Democratic party in the same way as with refers ence to religious services in the.

penitentiaries. The question is not a new one la Ohio. It was agitated in the late Constitutional Convention, where it was insisted that the school-fund should be divided. It is not possible to deprecate too earnestly the formation of any religio-pcditical alliance in this country, whether it be between the Democratic party and Catholic Church, or any other party and any other church. The only way in which Church and State can be kept separate and independenttind this separation is essential to our form of governmentis to draw the line distinctly at the point of departure.

They cannot be merged in the slightest degree without endangering the whole principle of free government There must be no union of Church and State or subserviency of the civil to the ecclesiastical power. Mr. JEWELL'S determination t9 thoroughly eft the frauds in the Post-01ce Department extends beyond the mail-route contracts, and will now embrace another large field of investigation, viz. the stuSciency of the bonds of Postmasters on file in the Department, and also the bonds given by mail contractors. There is no telling what other breasts will siche before this thing is ended, as several of the guilty clerks have turned State's-evidence and will save themselves by telling all they know.

l'IrElartT T.90 clotorlylinstt fATflfl1'V CIVIL WAR EN rENESTLVANIA. Civilization, law, and society have apparently ceased to exist throughout a great part of the Pennsylvania coal regions barbarism reigns there instead. The daily dispatches tell an unvarying story of mob-violence, outrage, and murder. Mobs of foreign miners march from town to town, starting as squads, swelling into small armies, and melting away when their mission of terrorism is done and a few hundred more men have thrown down the pick and the barrow, and ceased to earn an honeat living. The trade-unions of the East are sending great quantities of provisions into the raining districts, wasting in this way the funds which might, if invested in co-operative industry, make these men their own masters, the owners or part-proprietors of their mines, earning both wages and profits, and living hi peace, order, and morality.

Instead of this, strike follows strike riot succeeds riot and murder preesee fast upon murder. A reckless disregard for human life and property shows itsell, not only in cases of mob-violence (when life is always held cheap), but throughout the community. It is a word and a blow or a word and a bullet. On Monday, two men, living next door to each other in a small mining settlement near Pittston, quarreled over the feasibility of a strike, and one of them ended the dispnte by blowing the other's brains out. The murderer has not been arrested, and will not be.

No SherisT dares seize him sao jury would venture to convict him no Judge could safely sentence him in that mob-ridden country. Such immwaity breeds crime. Cases from highway rob- -bery aown to petty larceny murk every day. A man is stopped on the main street cf a town and rotbed of his watch and money. Another, treated in the same way, tries to resist, and is beaten over the head with a bludgeon, and thrown senseless down a deep ravine.

A Mlle girl, sent to buy a pint of reins, is waylaid by two hulking brutes, who steal the nickel she carries in her band A man owns anything eatable or wearable only by the grace of thieves. When they want it they will take it, and he can whistle for redress. The strike seems to be sporadic. It breaks out, now here, now there. The mine-owners seek to reduce wages 20 per cent below the basis of 1874, in consequence of the decline in the price of coal, and the men wish to advance them 10 per cent above that basis.

In some sections the masters have gained their point. In others, the minera still hold out. There are signs now that the strike will becoma general. Emissaries have been sent among the 30,000 men still at work, and are actively stirring up disaffection. The future looks more gloomy than the present Gov.

Hanazwerr, has issued a proclamation, which, of course, does no good, and threatens to send troops, who may do good. Ile occupies an unpleasantly-perilous place, and must show courage and ability to satisfactorily meet this grave responsibility. The coal-owners are largely responsible for this state of things. For a series of years they have treated their men like machines, have shown not the slightest interest in their welfare, have spent no cent of their great gains in bettering the condition of their work-people, have fomented strikes and formed lock-outs for the sake of gambling in coal in New York and Philadelphia, and have scorned the example set them by the English industrial partnerships between masters and example which, if followed, would put an end to the present and prevent any repetition of it hereafter.

De Ince, of Cook, introduced a bill carrying out the recommendations of a late Grand Jury of this county, giving to landlords the power, upon proof that their premises were used for gambling-houses, to terminate the lease. This bill pas referred to the Judiciary Committee, and in due time was reported back and passed. When printed for the Senate it was found that it had been amended somewhere and by somebody, and that the House had passed the bill with the amendment in it. This amendment is important. It amends the criminal code of Lis State in all that pertains to gambling, seeping gaming-houses, by limiting puniOireent to eases of fraudulent" rambling, and to keeping or renting houses lor fraudulent gambling purposes.

When lzis amendment was discovered in the Sere ste, there was a busy inquiry how it had been hicorporated in the bill. No one in the House knows anything of iL But an inquiry it on foot tliselosed that the gamblers of this city had sent an agent to most amiable, respectable-looking person, and one who would never be suspected of being a gambler. This person soon had the lobby in his service, and, through the lobby, the bill, when it passed, had this amendment recognizing gambling as a lawful buslizetel incorporated in the The bill is now in the Setoff). CONGILESSIONAL REFORM We have already commented upon the way in which the legislation of Congress is conducted. The bulk of the business is done within the last three days of the session, and, instead of being done in open, deliberate session, it receives its final shape in the hands of Committees of Conference, whoa.

reports are often, and we might say by the two Houses in utter ignorance of what the Committees have done. So crowded and pressed for time are the two Houses that debate is cut off, bills are not read, and the yeas and nays are refused. It is into the bills passed under these circumstances that are crowded the steals, and jots, and frauds, that turn up and Pre discovered too late for remedy. The two Houses have rule a on this subject. The 16th and 17th joint rules of the two Houses read as follows 16.

No bill that shall have pasbed one House shall be sent for concurrence to the other on either of the Let three days of the sesaion. 17. No bill or resolution thi.t shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Scnate shall be presented to the President of the States for his approbation on the last day of the Weldon. Notwithstanding these rules, it is notorious that the majority of the bills paeeed are eent, from one House to the other on the last three days of the session, and that the President signs more bills on the last day than on any other. The rules are seemingly all right, and cover the abuses, but unfortunately they can be and are suspended as a matter of course.

When the grand rash comes they are not worth so many straws to cheek blind and vicious legislation. We suggest to the Republican party that this is one of the worst abuses tracticed under our Government. Itis the cloak under which nearly all the robberies are perpetrate ed, and all the corrept jobs got through Congress. It is the convenient cover under which bills are passed without any record of the yeas and nays. We further suggest that it is a fit subject of reform, and that the Republican party shoald take the initiative in accomplishing it.

It would purify legislation, and almost render fraud impossible. The reform should include the following propositions 1. That no act passed by Congress shall be valid unless presented to the President for. his approval three full days, excluding Sun-clay, before the hour of adjournment of the session, in order that he may have time to examine it. 2.

That nobill shall pass either House of Congress unless it receive the affirmative vote of a majority of all the members elected, of each House said vote to be taken by yeas and nays in every instance. 3. That the yeas and nays on any question shall be taken upon the demand of ten members in the House and three in the Senate. The present House of Representatives consists of 292 members, and when all are present it requires the demand of fifty-nine members to have the vote by yeas and nays. At the late session repeated efforts to have the yeas and nays on the revival of the franking privilege faded, the requisite number not malsen- the demand, and that act passed without any record of the votes of the members.

This referm can only be accomplished by an amendment to the Constitution. At present a majority of each House of Congress is a quorum, and a majority of a quorum can pass any bill. A quorum of the Senate is 38 Senators, and of the House of Representatives 147. So that 20 Senators and 74 members, if they he a majority of those present, can pass any law, and that, too, Without calling the yeas and nays. The theory of our Government is, that Congress represents the people and, so long as the majority are entitled to rule, it is but proper that nothing lees than a majority shall rule.

The people have the right to demand that they be represented not only in theory but in fact therefore they have the right to demand that their representatives shell vote, or, if they fail to vote, that the absent ehell be counted in the negative. This is the only remedy for teresponsible tion it is, moreover, a remedy for inattention to laisbaese, end a corrective of the evil habit of dcileing the record. 1 When a representative fade to vote, hie conetitnents will then know that his vole was counted in the negative, and his record will be complete. For similar reasons, the teeing of all votes by yeas and nays, as a matter of right, be liberalized, so as to give the minority the privilege of compelling the teejoray to make a record, not only on the final passage of the bill, but upon all impoztent questions presented in 1J-salons to amend. Now that Coegressmen are paid a liberal annual salery, their adjournment a few days earlier than a proper understand14 of ths business reatims smasea EMMINP MIMIIE UNWAREANTID LITIGATION.

The Board of Ilailread Commissioners of this State in all their reports call attention to the fact that, in the exercise of vigilant and unremitting care of the people's rights, they have 1n-ought suits against the various roads for oppression and extortion in their demands for freight and for passenger -Lev. Our Decatur correspondent, who, in hisletters of last March, exposed the absurdity of the schedules of rates established by this Board of Commissioners, took the trouble to investigate the facts of a large number of these alleged suite against railroads, and found that, in a long list of cases, they -were brought without the knowledge or consent of the alleged victims, and thet these victims had all, in the form of afralavits, disclaimed having been injured or oppressed by the railroads. The Railroad Commission has cost the State neerly $70,000. It has ale contracted heavy liabilities for fees of counsel employed to bring suits, of which it seems a large proportion are purely fictitious, but which serve just as well as boacifide suits to show that the Commissioners are doing something." The publication of these affidavits in THE TRIBUNE of March 13 kd to an inveatigation by a Legislative Committee, and that Committee has made an unanimous report, after hearing the explanation and diffense of the erg, that the statements of onr correspondent were true in every particular. The Commissioners claimed that, under the law, they were authorized to bring the suits, and the Committee concede that legally the institution of the suits was justifiable, but the Committee say that this construction of the law admits of great abuses.

Here is one of the affidavits. Robert F. Miller swears And this aftlant further statea that the said emit was not comtnenecd at les request or upon his complaint that be has never complained before the Railroad Commissioners of said State, nor to any other person, of any overcharge or extortion. nor any other wrong practeed upon him by the aid Railroad Company the Chicago Alton); nor does be wish to appear as a complaining witness against said Company in said suit, as ha has no cause of complaint, and said snit was net brought to redresa any of bhi grievances. The Coraraittee say From the above and foregoing facts, your Committee are of the opinion that suits bare been Instituted by the Railroad and Warehouse Comixdssioners in the name of the People of the State of Illinois, where large damages are claimed and sought to be recovered, for the osteneible purpose of satisfying the grievances of its citizens, when in the cases covered by the aforesaid the same citizens have declared on oath that they tare never asked for or caused to be instituted 11-11Y suit or made any complaints to the Railroad Conuniasioners of any overcharge, extortion, or unjust discrimination in the transportation of freights or paasengers.

The Committee recommend that hereafter, before the bring any more suits against the railroads for grievances, the parties injured be required to file, on oath, a con2plaint setting forth the cause of their grievance, and that the railroads have an opportunity to be heard, and, if -caeible, to settle the injury, before involving the State aud the railroad companies in expensive and useless litigation. In other -words, that the Commiseiouers have already involved the State in expensive and litigation in cases WhEre the parties to have been aggrieved ewear that they have not, and never have had, eny cause of complaint. The fact, is thet, as a guardian of public rights against railroad extortion, the Board of Cemmieeioaere is a usekss piece of All thet it has ever done is to bring a number of suits for extortioa, and it now torte out that these 'were inr.titntad on hear TEM "TOWN-lIEEIING" OUTRAGE. There is probably no city in the civilized world outside of Chicago where so disgraceful a scene could be enacted under the cover ef "popula-r government as that of the town-meetings on Tuesday. They were burlesques upon a rep-oblican form of government, calculated to bring it into universal contempt The intelligent man who has taken note of them is forced to the conclusion that, if popular government permits such infamies to be perpetrated in its name, the time la not far distant when it will have to give way as a demonstrated failure.

As between such popular government as these town-meetings illuetrated and the most absolute despotism, the choice of all respectable and sensible people must be for the latter. Such "popular government is, in fact, the most oppressive of all of brute force allied with gross ignorance and moral depravity. The mere fact that the success of such a combination is possible under our Government is discouraging to those who retain a hope for the realization of free government by the will of the people as a model system. The usual answer does not hold in this the respectable and honest people should turn out and overcome the depraved classes. The depraved classes cannot' be overcome when they are unrestrained by any law or authority.

This is the condition of the town elections in Chicago. If ell the honest and respectable men in Chicago had sacrieced their business and gone to the polls on Tuesday, they could not have helped thealeelves. One rowdy and bummer weld cast more votes than twenty decent meta and, if they still lacked a majority, the ballot-boa 38 could be etnifed with eny number of votee that might be necessary; There is no registration an no check upon illegal veters.

Both I 'eta in about equal parts to bring tha frere The Democracy of Cincinnati, at the recent municipal election, elected all their nominees except their candidate for Judge of the Police Court. The candidate for this (ace was Jamas W. FITZGEUALD, an Irishman.

Mr. FITZGEUALD some years ago separated from the majority of bis countrymen and acted -with the Republicans. Ile was alwaye in office, and seeking for another. He was elected President of the Common Council, and is a matt of considerable ability. After the Democrats had regained the ascendency in in 1872, he went back to that party, and at the recent election was their candidate for Police Judge.

His Republican opponent was a German. The Democratic candidate for Mayor was elected by 5,830 raaparity, and Fa-raoveaan's German RepublIcan opponent was elected by 3,890 majority. It appears that the native and German Democrats protested against the only Irishman on the ticket, and defeated Lim, preferring a German Republican. The Democracy of Cincinnati evidently feel that, -with the accession of the Germans, they can dispense -with the Irish. The alliance in Ohio is getting shaky.

Th; elections in Chicago on Tuesday will probably have a sirailar erect. The candidatesthose who resorted to questionable modes of electionwere all On the South Side Fonzr and ETANS sought the 10,000 fraudulent salary. On the West Side there were balf a dozen candidates, all Irish- On the North Side the Germans protested, and probably defeated al the Irish candidates.

Mr. Bescuna gave his testimony yesterday without serious interruption by Way of objection on the part of opposing counsel, who have apparently concluded that the easiest way is the quickest way, and so allow the defendant to ampliry his evidence with such comment, deduction, or figure of speech as his naturally vivid style of narration, as well as of description, may introduce. The denials are given with added emphasis and solemnity as the direct examination travels over the ground of rebut -LI, and the lie direct is given in almost every alternete breath. The evidence of TILTON and Mocerom being dissected, and the atoms held up singly before the defendant, he disposes of them by such expressione as "purely imaginative," "positive fiction," no, sir, not a word like it," "absolutely false," etc. There is no half-way work about it.

The iesue of credibility is defiantly deelered. The battle of one teen's oath against the oaths of five or six rages furiously, and the looker-on must in the end go over the field and decide which of the slain are dead enough for burirdin one common trench of shame and infamy. There erill be differences of opinion on this question for entities, and we cannot see how these variances are to be materially harmonized by Bezemees exelanation of the celebrated "down and out "and "ragged edge letter.
