Cameron stziii "McMillan seems disposed to forget tte fitiat thoy owe anything to tii domocrasy, nd appear to give in undivided all?;iiXK to the republican party. They profess nertaln sort of independence, however, rrhici is no more than that, which every one st ibeir compeers would assume to himself. TÄ principles to whion they tn.Jtftribsd allcgianco before election -'s.-ry c3onitcred republican principles. Just bow tha former can reconcile frca trade, 11 moey and home rule, with modern acyablicJknism, it is not easy to understand, -fcutt Si.3 Is confident that he can do it.

Uadpeoilence and in the course of a Ion.1; inte.Tviow talks much of not allowing caccas wüc to dictatH h'.s votes, which is mere cv2-&SK3e. If ho gofsinto cancusee, as ho scrnstD tüve dne, 5t U tis brduei aa an Iisnoit man to support their action. Sena'or Äatbocy has already given the law of party fealty in regard to caucuses a very Jhea-al inttirpre'.atlon, enti Judge ChriuitrTKy lna uo new doctrine to proach on - ttiMJL natter. On the whole, it looks as if the Independent senators had weakened very 3crar.ii after getting to Washington, and c!fidoos that they had secured office by partj desertion, were seeking for party reveancilUlon. "Xt wuu'a seem tha the opening of the j-crtsnattprlcg will witness the beginning of hunt almost as rorc?.ntic and datgrr oasas that of IS 13.

It was feared that the mere act of xoarrUng i::to tho Black Hills would bo retrn3d by the Indians a a declaration ol -vsx ad would lead to bloodshed. It was ri.Trcj iLat If tho expedition discovered a licb in any natural productions the - jtixsiwr would cot be slow to follow in the -Airtreps of tbe soldier. The anticipation of . cawJiat9 war proved groundless, thanks t tia Ruod sense and forbearance of the. Invaded av3es. It now remaina to : ?en whether tho apprehen iVoii that the tide of emigration would art IA when he troopers rode back with re na r3 of the marvelous wealth of tho l3nd -wM.'Li they had visited, were not batter jya idsd. Tbe government after, as it were, 33a open the door to the New Eldorado; V v sets its soldiers with crossed bayonets 4 ttii ttreshold to prevent all further irauion.

Throats of Indian hostility are vain. Stories I of tbe hardships of tbe way We no terrors. J

Kvoa daoU' th rrUtpnreof the treasv a -w - -- I n res heretofore describe! are received wun an Incredulous sneer. Th gold fmr has set in, and nothicg can withstand tbe heat of the mad passion. Tbe thronging adventurers wonld bo glad to penetrato the g;ld rfjion under the protection of tbe United States Hag, lx.it they will not hesitate to proceed without it. They would like to have tbe consent of the government in their enterprise, but if they could not mar-h under the approval of the government they would march I a spite of it. The warnings of Süerman and Sheridan are vain after the fabulous tales of Custer. Well, it is not the first time that the same wi:a nunser r gold has led man iato a region ami made the l.lr-s.sain like the rose. It was the c-Ur.!ri r.faearithatbrouzhttheSpani.rd to thisoontlnent.'leadincPisaro, Cortes t, to t,onnaest and discovery, The like avarico has ßiven birth to the new states alon the Pacific coa.st and has aowetl TU ieruor' MtS. The Dics-sage of the goveruoi to the 2lslature on the opening of the special sSMion is a short, clear and forcible. document. It t , will be easier to read the inosaage itself than an abstract of it. It may be appropriate to sest, however, that tho governor takes the ground already assumed in the Sentinel. RJid undoubtedly approved by the public sentiment of tu a.ate. He is decidedly oi opinion that the ecislaturo is now in session to meet an exigency, and not for the pur poses of general legislation. He points out the factthac the act of December 6, 1S72, ha3 provided that tbe regular and special sessions shall dovetail into ach other, thus allowing thi unfinished business of the former to b taken up in the latter at the point where it was left. lly this arrangement the necessary legisla tion inay be speedily effected with the r.rr!ir sr,irit of comDromiio between the 1 - -x two heu-es. To the democrats bis state meat in regard to the tax levy, while act conceding tho justice of payiagoffthe debts of a republican administration in nr. n Biaaon of democratic rule, recommends a i pirit e f compromise. As for the privi'.ega of making temporary loans wbicii was graded to republican oCöcials, the gov ernor can not appreciate the haste which is made to deny it to democratic ones. The declaration that soma reform should bo ma Jo in fees aud paUrles u also sensibly put, with the r33ervation tho temper of the times seems to have mado necassary, that "the compensation (shall not be unreasonably and unjustly reduced." Temperance legislation, and the appropriation bills completo tho subjec.s concerning which the governor thinks the sreoial session would to jastlfisd la legislating. Th3 governor, in the course ol his mfssage, takes occasion to hint several limes in tbe most suave and gentle manner the propriety of haste aod an early ajouinmerj the pwt ot tho legislaUtrc. Ho taja in cue place: "The necessity for the special session is to be regretted, but the miaforlune is mitigated by tho iact that tr.6 business dsmandlng your attention is in aucn a condition as to require you to remain in session but a very few days." And he closes with the following polite foim cl leave-taking: "1 trust that by a successful and prompt dispatch of public business vou may have the gratification of an early adjournment." Judging from the action of both Houses yesterday it would seem as it the republican majority of the Senate was determined to repeat the tactics of the regular session. There was a tendency shown to introduce a number ot new uieasaures, and consume the whole forty days in fruitless discussion either simply to m.'ke money, or else in theexpecation of securing political capital by prolonging the tiresome aud expensive forms whici they call the transaction of political business. They make money at the game, but they certainly won't make any p.irty reputation by such a trick. Tho democratic majority of the House, on the other hand, put Itself right on the record by resolylrg at once to confine its operations to the measures for which the governor declares that an emergency exists, and by petting next Tuesday as the. day of adjournment. This action is bighly commendable, and the same policy should be strictly maintained to the end. A number of members have been tempted by the opportunity of the session to bring forward pet measures. Don't have auvthing to do with ono of them. If the House gives way in a single Instance tho majority will lose foothold before a flood pi new measures and the wholo paity pcHcy will b9 swamped In the hurry and confusion sure to follow. The responsibility for the extra sassion rests upon the Senate. Now let the responsibility for rvery day of. additional expense: lie at thetbreshhoid of tho Käme chamber. The Brliiob System ia America. Too Chicago Times has devoted a part of Us vigor to the advocacy ot fleiron'a absurd proposition far making the president of tbe United S;ates a Bort of prime minister, elected by the House of Representatives, and endowed with the power of dissolving that body whenever it disagrees with him. The criticism which the Sentinel made oa this project somj time ago is taken, In no very complimentary terms, as the subject of a long article showing the perfection of the British system and the defects of our own. Without stoppicg to ar guo about the ability of tho Sentinel to jud&o o the intricacies of the liritis'j constitution, it may be well enough to suggest very coolly and quietly the objections to the proposed revolution in our government. In the first place, our praser.t coustitul ion, whatsoever it delects in ty be, bas given tbe country as good acd free a government 1 aa was ever bsforo devised by man. Neither

the constitution or tbe Koma republic, the masterpiece of antiquity, nor the consti-

tution of Ureal Britain, tbe uias.erpiece oi modern ?K.-litics, can be compared to it. The oretically it Ja more complete and consistent than either of thsm, and in it practical workings it has secured power, wealth, liberty and happiness to millions in such measure as was never accoriled to uianlsind before. Tho system -which ba3 ereated tbe foremost nation of the world out of a BtrugsliDR rlony within a hundred years, has, ia ita practical resalt., a guarantee that ahoald Kecare it against tbe wXd scbemes of every political dreamer. American instits'.ions, as applied to American 'character, have been thoroughly tested and not found wanting. That is their best recommendation. It is all' well enough to inanufacturo patent constitutions in exemplification of Cre epun tbe!ori about the responbility of the executive variegated patterns ot old thread bare system, tried ki Franco and elsewhere and shattered whoa put iu operation hut the national character ian element in al?politi Knzlisb. Futhermero it become s necessary i foi Ihn mlvnnate! of ITerron'a refer 111 to . . ftf t svstem . ,,ut t5jo beneits to . .v;u i;, 9- aenveu iror in u? -n u 49 Co supplant it. When tuey undertime to io this, the defect complained of is found t bo yery small, compared to tb risk te.be ron in applying the remedy. To prosure wore sudden revolutloas iu the adniiiistraiion, in accordance wish the revolutioo of pblic Bentlment, the whole fabrie of o-ar govern ment is to be thrown down asd rebu'lt. The truth is, that tbe American rdea is to eo Bbape matte, that thes sudden revolutions in public sentiment shall not sweep everything before them. And with this view a w-nes ol breaK waters f have been vervwlselv set azaicst the ad vancing tidts of popular opinion. Suddca changes may be well enough in England, a countrj' with a king, the stability of whose office is set above the conflict ot pattks, a great hereditary nobility, a strong ronservative sentiment, and a limited feuflrafce, but here it is diffrrent. Tho argument of tho advocates of the English system, that tho American conf-tiiution is based upon that cf the mothc-r couutry, and that theielore the latent improvements in Engl sh pclitlcsshould apply equally well in American politics, proves nothing. The Ameticnn constitution was intended lor a new world and a new nationality, and the points In whUh it varies from its modil are,it is natural tosuppoao its very excellencies tho mints in which the visdom of its makers in adapting their work to the circumstances cf tho age and dime shone preeminent. The Sentinel is not actuated by any vainglorious spirit when it asserts that American institutions ara a step in advance of P.riiish institution", and that the old world should learn from u, nlhcr than wo from It. As a mutter ot fact Ureal Britain basso learned during tbe piwt fculf century. The fathers of the republic took Hr.gÜsii commcn law and Mcgna Chart, but they wero vvisa ertoazb. iu constructing their government to leave untouchc-d thearis'.cc racy aud tho monarchy the carved capi tals and fllligr.e work of Iba architecture which they copied. In fact tbe materials of our constitution came from England, but the soirit which shaped them eanio from the republics of antiquity, tinged, perh3p, with the philosophy of France. In conclusion, while malntairing that the working of the present parliamentary system in Krr land aßords no ground for applyirg it in America, it may be said that that great system, in regard to f b.3 suc'&ss of which eo much nonsscse Ls written. Is by no means firmly established iu Great Britain. The pretense of tho Times that because the liberals have chosen a leader for themselves, a great reform bas been consummated, is a very hasty conclusion. The day may come, and that light speedily, when the monarch will have a word to say in regard to the choice of prime ministers. As f or tho ecinmon nctbn now prevalont, that royalty ia England ii a mere figure head, kept for the adornment of the constitution, that pleasing fiction will come to a close when the Bnttih Empire falls under the sceptre of a man disposed to grasp the substance of royal power rather than reposo in its shadow. George and William were men without ability, whose only desire was the gratification of their lusts and vanities. To them a woman succeeded who baa been wise enouch to . rear a goodly family of children, and 1st her ministers govern the country. The customs of her reign are not by any means principles of tbe British constitution, and it may take a war to transmute them into the fundamental law. It will bs well enough to ree them tested in storm as well as sunshine before we trouble ourselves about copying lt6m to the exclusion of better thiDgs. It appears that the Louisiana case Is on trial before another tribunal besides the United States Senate. While the latter body is deliberating on tbe admission of Pinchbat k, tho special committee on Southern tffairs, under the chairmanship of Mr. Hoar, is in session in New York listening to arguments from contestants for seats in the Louisiana legislature. None of tha proceedings of the committee of aibltratlon are made known. Cetainly, the whole case is one unprecented In ourhUtory. The political control of a state is set as it were on tbe good faith of seven gentlemen who have no more legitimate authority over the matter which they are to decide than they have over the actions oi the German empire. It is an anomoly in our politics to see such an Open onftssion of the failure of our institutions. It is plainly acknowledged by this arbitration that the machinery of a state government for the conduct cf an election and the '"declaration ot its result can not be re lied upon. Tbe board of canvasser, the courts, the integrity of public officials all are declared worthies, and a harassed peopie consent to put their late in the hacis

of seven pectlemen fnm other fectious of !

the Union in th hnpe of setting that justice from ihtir iuiiartiality which their own laws, can not guarantee them.

Eaca orcauizittou baa brought, out its full vote and tbe result is that in a poll of ove? 77,00a there is a difrrenco of only S3 votes bet woen tho democratic nd republican candidates. It is likely thai 11 of the pro hibition votes of lat year went with the re-publicans this spring, with the exception of the few reck rooted tsmperarco men, de termined to accent no compromises. Last year, of course, the chelae of overner went to tbe legislature, aud it reroains to be seen whether that body will aga'.u scire t a demo crat. At present lie republicans claim control of it.

Uou33 bill numbered GO, entitled "An act authorizing county ccmmiiioners lolevy taxes and make appropriations tc purchase, constructor repair roads' was presented to me on March G, 1S75. The legislature adjourned on tho S'h of March, 1S7Ö. I have care.'ully examined tho bill and can not approve aad sign'the suns, and, therefore, file the same in the oCice of tho secretary ol state with these, my objections: I think the bill has not received that carelul consideration by tte legislature which its importance demands. It authorizes a township tax of 50 cents on each $10( of the taxable property of tbe townihip to raise revenue to purchase any improved road in such township. That is a heavy tax for such a purpose. The road that is purchased is not worth buying, lor the bill provides that not more than 3i per centum of its ccst shall be paid for it. If tho company that owns such a road desire to sell at such a loss, the probabilities are that the public should cot wish to buy it. I think i: probable that the bill would enable some road companies to get tbe public to take their non-paying property off their bands, and I think that stould not occur. The public thculd cot become the purchaser cf the poor property of companies. Heforo this bill became a law it should re ceive further consideration ot the legisla ture. Thomas A.
