PHILADELPHIA VS. CHICAGO.Pbaladeltbia, June IT. Tbe second champ-

After the first two Innings the Chlcagos failedto score, but four men reaching the first on hits.The Philadelphia clnb made seventeen first basehits, with a total or twenty-tw- and the Chlcagosmade ten first base hits. The Phlladelphlasearned five and the Chlcagos one ran.

RISKY B VSIXBSS.Bladessbcbo, June 17, 1871.

To tfu Editor ofVu Jfational RtrmbUcamSib: The train that reaches the Highlands at

8.08 o'clock a ul, is almost aloays behind time.tne reason neiug tnai it stops at an stations andis often detained. This train Is Immediately fol-lowed by an express train, which ought to reachtne xtignianas aoout ten minutes alter the first,mentioned train. This morning the accommoda-tion train was behind time, (as niuaij) and theconductor ordered a torpedo to be placed oa thetrack to warn the express train. The expresscame aivuj, u iufc iuico 101 uuiiutcs. ana tor-pedo was knocked from oil the track without ex-ploding, thus giving the express train no warning.The accommodation train stops at Clark's Mills,and a curve in the track here prevents the engl.sser of the express seeing the other. Now I thinkthlslsvery risky business, and the Baltimore fcOhio railroad cannot be too severely censured forit. The express train should not follow the otherso dole, and the patent torpedo used should bemade ohat It would remain on the track. Theaccommodation train Is always packed, and if theexpress should overtake the way train at Clark'sMill, there wpnld be no time to stop the trains,and a futons ecIUsion could not be prevented.

Mr. FORT did not think it was in good taste tobring the bill here and not permit amendment.

HR. WILSOn'S ADDRESS.

Mr. WILSON then addressed the House. -- Hesaid the committee had g(j-e- tbewhole subject a.long and careful examination, and had viewed itfrom every conceivable standpoint, and had donethe best the- - oould, and put the result of theiraeuoerauons in tne 0111. in taxing testimony tothe extent or over 2.H0 pages it was natural thaton some points there would be a difference ofopinion, it had been deemed best, under tbecircumstances, to avoid these points of difference,as the committee thought it desirable that thisbill should be passed at this session, and they hadavomea point mat wouiu proroio discussion anaieaa to aoiay.

Many millions of dollars bad been expendedand bonds Issued in an irregular and loose man.ner. Whether any one connected with the dis-bursement of these large sums had misappliedthem was not discussed. Whoever read the testi-mony would form his own opinion, and time wouldoonnrm or set asiue tne correctness 01 tnat opia-ion- .

"For time at last sets all thiols even."Referring to the expenditures by the Board of

Public Works, he said the law distinctly prohib-ited the District from Incurring a debt m excessor 110,000,000, and a law prOhlbTtlngeoatracts Inadvance of appropriation therefor. The Board ofpuolie works prepared and submitted to theDistrict a pfaa OI general improvement, which

sewerage. The estimated cost of carryingout this plan was and the DistrictLegislature issued Donas tor this purpose to theatoodnt of --4,000,000. But with this appropriationthe District Legislature incorporated a provisionthat the Board of Publlo Works should aot enterinto contracts exceeding the estimated cost lesstwenty per cent. These were the restrictionsplaced upon the Board of Publlo Works. Not-withstanding all this contracts were made twelvemillions in excess of the estimates, and more thanthree times the amount appropriated.

Then again, on the 8th of January, 1873,

drawn three days after thebillDOcame a law andall paid out-fo- r debts, of the Board or PublieWorks in less than a week.) provided that no can.tract should be mid or work done on account oftne uovernment oi tne umtea states until anappropriation therefor had been made; yet. Justas this Congress was aaotit to assemble, there wasa claim made out for worlidono tn defiance of thatlaw to the amount of over $500,000.

Then again. Congress appropriated $75,000 forthe purchase of the Olty Hall building, and d

with it a provision that the monevthns an.propriated should be oily used for the construction 01 District omees 1 ana yet, notwitnstanomgthis Prohibition, the money had been drawn fromthe Treasury and used to, pay the debts of thejjoara 01 woras.

He had onlv referred to thasa matters to ihnirhow greatly the law had been overstrained bytbe gentlemen who have governed tbe District tjoiumoia tne last tnreayears. 1 ne expenaituresnaro juust uiuiuuiub, jio wuuju call attentionto the single item oi printing and engraving, forwhich alone the amoULt was over 1220,000, andthe other expenditures were on the same magnifi-cent scale. The result or these operations hasbeen to create the most enormous burdens. Mr.Wiuoathcn referred to a page of tie report toshow the extent of the indebtedness. The mm.mlttee could not tell whether all of this debt Wascreated In absolute good faith. The reason whythe committee conld not reach the exaot truthwould be shown (by an examination of page 11 ofthe report, which would show that the vice presi-dent or the board was supreme, and that the ac-counts of the treasurer and auditor were notproperly kept. He called atteatlon to these factsto show the reason why there should be a changeof government. An examination would show thatthe debt was In excess of tne

debt authorised, by the organloaet. TheDistrict Is utterly bankrupt, aad has no meanswith which to pay its debts. The employees hare,many of them, been unpaid for many months, andthe District could not pay them.

Therefore, the first seotibn of the bill proposesto change this government, and tn the Interim,before a plan of government can be perfected, theDistrict is to be governed by three commissioners,to bo appointed by the President and CuUflrmedby tbe Senate, and they are to take charge of allaffairs except so far as they are limited by theKill ..4 lliai. 1ln,ll.4lMi. km .11 W ,1 ; S.- -UIU.U1UMI1UIMWVU, WOWI UIUQIEU WUQ

' ADDRESS OV MR. BASS.

Mr. BASSj ef N. Y., a member of the joint committee, tnen proceeuea to msss some explanationor the bill In relation to the subject or taxation,and said it had been thought best to go into onlysuch general semaiki as would bring before thenous tne general provisions 01 tne 0111, ana nisremarks wouia oe oonunea to tne suoieci 01 tax.atlon. Ha had heard expressed a desire to knowwhv the committee had proposed a tax of threeper cent. In Washington, two and ahalfln Georgetown, ana two per cent, outsiae 01 tne two cities,and the proposition had been criticised by cltisensas excessive. The tax was placed at these figureslor tne reason tnat last year tne legislature levieda tax of two per cent, in Washington and 1 S8 InGeorgetown and the county, and the result wasgreat complaint that the Legislature did not pro- -viue aaoquaiejreveuue to pay tne expenses, anathe deficiency 00 the 1st 01 July wouia be morethan l,O00,0OA.

Some of this was due to the fact that the taxesweranotnalA,. It was levied on the 1st or Jnlv.1873, with certain abatements for prompt payment, unaex tne provisions 01 tnat law tnesaxeswere to pay the current expenses, the salastes oftne school teachers, Bremen ana ouier empaevecs.irom tne lowest cnimnev sweep to tne governor.The taxes were collected so slowly that'therewere mora tnan a minion aoiiars ana. nTaax es.tlmate prepared by tbo Governor to be sent to theDistrict legislature, priutea on page a 01 tnereport of the committee, it was shown that fortbe year ending June 30, 1879, the current estimated expenses or tbe District or ten miles squarewere moro ithan those or twenty of tbe States.The estimate is t2,C0S,295.83. 'It was thereforenecessary that Congress, unless it intended, toiuiiow tjiv eaauiuio ui iiiv District Kuvcriunont,and let the District run into bankruptcy, to provide for the cavment of current excenses. Thecommittee .had for this recommended this Increased tax tnat tne scnooi teaoners, nremen. po-lice and other employees might not be left tosuner. uyireieren.ee to tnetsoie ot taxes on page23 of the report it would oe seen that this taxwonld produce about the amount required. Irall the taxis were paid the amount Would be12,800,000 in round numbers. The committee badrecommended that the tax be made payable onthe 1st of November. Some of the residents hadcomplained that this made a double tax. Thisallegation tras unrounded. The last tax bill waspassed Jnae 26. 1873. and mad collectable JulyL, 1873, and was to pay the current expenses oftne year pexinning at tnat aate. 1 no present taxshould have been made payable July 1, 1171. hutthe committee had proposed to extend tbe timeto the 1st f 'November.- - The people la the stirthat Dad wen made had tome of them believedthaupongreis wonld pay all the expenses of theDistrict. 1 d had not naid their taxes.

Besidurthe expenses submitted, br the Gov- -waor tteestwerir other expenses which. would tn--

aawssieosr. asm oat sna,APtaiarvj

ments already begem. ooUMa-oiexiif- ltg con-tracts, could aot be less than 2eJ,ooo, aad therewas the Interest on the floating debt, which thebill DrovId.es should be funded, which would be$100,600. The committee had desired to reducetaxation to the lowest figure, and It oould not beput at less ana save tne District irom panxruptey,

In reference to the question of levying i taxdou personal nronertv jur. xsabs saia to

mlttee had carefully weighed the subject.A number of members desired him to allow

amendments to be read to that effect, and amendments by Mesns.PABZxB.ofMo.; Fort, of 111.,SxALUof N. H.,were read, but Mr. Bass de-clined to admit them.

Mr. G. F. HOAB asked him to admit an amend,meat directing the new committee to Include theproposition la their draft or a bin, but Mr. Basssaid tbe committee had considered that proposi-tion, and had eome to the eonoluslonthat it wouldaot be proper for one committee to recommendwhat another eommlttse equally competentshould do.

Mr. OABFIELD. of Ohio, said that was right.Leave the eommlttee free to aot according to Itsown judgment tn preparing the draft of a bill,which would oome Defore the House for its action,when the gentleman could submit his proposi-tion.

Mr. BASS said the eommlttee did nofpropese atax on persona) property Kt the reason that theDlstrloi Legislature for three successive sessionshad adopted the present system ot taxation, andII was fl) accordance with existing laws. Thecommittee had sought to avoid, a modification oftbe District laws, extent snob as was necessaryto carry Oat what waj proposed by the bill. Theyhad avoided a change because they thought theacts of the Legislature aa exposition of the viewsof the people. The committee had agreed withthe views which he had heard expressed latheBousti la relation to the taxation of personalproperty, add supposed that in the governmentcontemplated it would be included. A large portion 01 vne peopio jpore were non.rosiaeuts, anathe committee hid fill that, they had aot time toperfect a till to arrange for the colleetio-LO- f sneha tar. A bill to properly frovida fof the collec--tlon of a lax on personal property would be halfas low as iaa pin uuubc cunaiaevatioil, ano. inviowoi the pecall Titles as to the nonnlatheD13trlot,shoul4TSto a earefal bonstdjFor these reasons the Committee did adexpedient to levy this tax for the fire sho:ociure tqe raaastimuiutgqi LHrajTTBES.

CAPITOL AND DEPARTMENT.

ANOTHER DEFEAT FOB SOTBO.The Senate Committee oa Publla Lands has

been busied lately with Mr. Sutro's attempt tocrowd through a general mineral patent bill, con-taining In a general form the provisions of theNegley amendment, which passed the House, andwas reported upon' adversely by the Senate Judiciary Committee. This general bill was lntro- -aucea on tne nitn 01 tnis montn alter nr. sutrohad discovered that the Judiciary Committeewouia report against nim.

It was entitled "A bill to provide for the tale ofpubllo lands," and in this disguised form was re-ferred to the Committee on Publlo Leads. Mr.Sutro immediately began the attempt to force areport out or tne committee, notwitnsianing nisreverses before the Judiciary Committee. Hemade two speeches before the committee, but wasconfronted; suddenly by the whole Pacllle coastdelegation, who found the interests of their con-stituents in danger.

In order to secure his own object of reviving thetunnel royalty Mr. Sutro had devised a generalbill, affecting all the mining interests or the wholecountry, which would accomplish his design, butbeing examined by the committee, he railed toshow that any one, excepting himself, was interested In It, tihile he was opposed by all the dele-gation representing mining communities, and hisown interest had beea specially acted on by theJudiciary Committee. It was shown that thebill would work great oppression upon the miners.

The committee finally, yesterday morning,agreed to indefinitely postpone the whole subject which leaves Mr. Sutro to rest upon the adverse report 01 tne jnaiciary report, or to taaehis chances with the Ward mineral patent bill.Introduced early In the session in the House, andwhich has been slumbering ever since. We areInformed that at the time Mr. Ward introducedtbe bill, by the request ot other parties, he didnot know that Mr. Sutro was tbe real party in-terested. Now that the subject has been fullyventilated there is little prospect tor the tunnelroyalty schema la either House.

THE DISTRICT HILL.It Is understood that In the Senate several

amendments wlU oe offered to the District billwhich passed the House yesterday.

TLATTOR-- t.

We, delegates and representatives of-t- Re-publican party of Illinois, declare tbe followingto be substantially our political belief- -

1st. That emancipation and enfranchisementhaving beea secured by the thirteenth and fif-teenth amendments to the CoostituHon of theUnited States, and by appropriate legislation fortheir enforcement, aad equality ef civil rightshaving been guaranteed by the fourteenth amend-ment, such guarantee should be enforced by ap-propriate statutes, so that the broad scgls ot free-dom's power may be over black and white citlsensalike,

BATIOBAL T13That, as one ol the consequences or the late

civil war, about $332,000,000 orTreasury notes were Issued to and are now

held by tbe people as safe and conventennt. Itwould be unwise and Inexpedient, In the presentfinancial condition of the people, to attempt thepolicy ot immediate cancellation of any portion ofsuch Treasury notes: that the laws for the estab-lishment ol national banks, having secured to theStates and Territories the best system of bankcirculation ever before ottered to tho people, itsIssuance should no longer be confided to a privll- -egea Class, out suouia oe irea to an suse, unaergeneral ana equal laws, too Toiuma 01 custbugtto be regulatea bv the untramelled laws of trade:that we reaffirm the declaration of the NationalRepublican convention, otlsTZ, In favor of a re-turn to specie paymentsattheearllsst practicableday; that we are opposed to any lnerer.se in theamount of legal-tend- Botes, and favor the gradual retirement of the same as tbe volume of national bank notes shall be increased.

CBEAr TRASSrORTATIO-T- .

That we commend the measures which havepassed tbe popular branch or congress looking tothe eheapenlog and perfecting or inter-Stat- e railroad transportation, and the Improvement of navigation at tne moutn 01 tne nussissippi river.,

XXECTlKa TUB rR"3IDIST.That we are In favor of an amendment to the

Constitution of the United States providing lorthe election of President and Vice President bythe direct vote of tbe people, without the Interveatloa of the electoral college.

BIOHTS RE8XBVXD TO THX KOrtl.Tbat the Republican party propose to respect

the rights reserved by the-- people to themselvesas carefully as tbe powers delegated by them totbe State and Federal Government-- , and it willaim to secure the rights and privileges or citizenswlthont regard to natlvitv er.ereed. aud it la on--posed to Interference by law. with the habits,tastes or customs of Individuals, except to suppress iicenuoasness or to presorvo tne peace anasaiety 01 citizens 01 sue aiaia.

RAILROADS. atThat while we accord to the railway companies

of this State the fullest measure of propertyrights, we also demand for the people reasonablecharges and a rigid impartiality In the transpor-tation of passengers and freight, such guaranteesto do recurea oy appropriate mate ana nationallegislation.
