FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1871.

The Senate.

There is a lively debate going on in the Senate of the United Seated on the question of the Civil Service Reform. The true reformers, led by Trumbull and Schurz, are in favor of a committee whose special duty it shall be to probe official corruption everywhere to the very bottom, and to enable them to do this, they desire the committee to have the power to send for "persons and papers." Certainly this seems to be all right, for how the committee could accomplish anything without possessing this necessary power, it puzzles us to understand.

In opposition to this movement, and as the representatives of the Administration, stands Senator Morton and Conkling. It is strange to us to behold our able Senator on the wrong side of this question. His constituents are in favor of reform— of reform in the civil service of the country, and they do not desire to see any impediment thrown in its way. In referring to this matter, a special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette says as follows:

Senator Morton, in an expression used to-night,gave the key to the proceedings of the Senate to-day and yesterday. lie said that he regarded Trumbull's resolution providing for the appointment of the Retrenchment Committee as an attack upon the administration. This difference of opinion among Republican Senators as to tbe advisability of appointing such a committee led to another caucus this lorenoon. In this caucus, which lasted two hours, and which was characterized by bitter personal flings, taunts, and retorts, a resolution was agreed to, providing the appointment ot a standing Retrenchment Committee, to which should be referred all matters arising from corruption in public service. This resolution was drawn up by Morton, and was subsequently offered in open Senate by.Anthony, and it was no sooner read by the Clerk than Trumbull submitted as an amendment thereto his original resolution somewhat modified, but which still gave the committee power to investigate alleged abuse of its own motion, and also authority to send for persons and papers, and to sit during the recess. With the question thus put squarely before it, the Senate at once plunged into an acrimonious debate. The adrmniatration Senators, under the lead of Conkling and Morton, labored to show that the present administration was so honest that it needed no investigation. Schurz and Trumbull were on the opposition. The Missouri Senator took the report of the Retrenchment Committee, made last spring, for his text, and exposed the frauds and abuse which has grown up in JSTew York under the general order system. During his remaks, and replying to a question of Senator Patterson, formerly of that committee, it came out that Secretary Boutwell wrote a letter last winter strongly condemning the general order system, which letter was sent, with other papers, to the Government Printing Office, but which was not printed with the balance of the committee's report. In explanation of this omission, Senator Patterson significantly stated that it might have been mislaid or lost, but exactly what became of it he did not know. Conkling, as usual, whenever the custom house is alluded to, went into a defense of its administration, and also drew largely upon the report for his defense of this institution.

Our readers can get a pretty fair idea of the question by reading the debate in the Senate, found in our telegraphic columns of to-day.

Reimbursing Postofflce Department for Defalcations. "The Appropriation Committee has decided to recommend to the House an appropriation of twenty-three thousand dollars, to reimburse the Postofflce Department for the loss of money by the embezzelment of T. A. McCartney, late Disbursing Clerk of that Department. This action suggests to many members a question as to whether it would not be the more proper course for the Department to obtain the amount from McCartney's bondsmen than from Congress. It is also a subject of inquiry as to whether bills are to be passed in the cases of Hodge and the other defaulters."

The above is a special to the Cincinnati Commercial. It looks a little singular to see a Republican Congress making appropriations to pay back monies that have been imbezzeled by dishonest clerks, and at the same time, let the clerk and his securities "go Scot free."

Presidential Opinion About Certain Journals. The President is understood to have lately said that the opposition of such papers as the New York Tribune, tho Cincinnati Commercial, the Sprin-tield liepublican and the Chicago Tribune did not affect him, as they would not dare to holt on his hoHiijnation and hesiid their .Republican readers would make them swin into lino before the Presidential election.

It may be true that President Grant can succeed in being renominated by his office-holders, over the opposition of the four able journals above referred to, but we warn him, and his frieuds, that he can not be elected in spite of their opposition.

tfeueral Sclienek.

A Washington special says: "General Sclienck, our Minister to England, having accomplished his purpose with reference to the Treaty of Washington, and regarding his personal interests here as imperative, has requested the President to name his successor, and call him home."

That is all right. Now let him retire to the shades of Utah, and watch his interests in the Emma silver mine. He has proven himself better fitted for that, thau for an American Minister at the most accomplished court in the world.

Four Evils.—Whoever habitually uses any alcoholic preparations as an "appetizer" will be likely to suffer from four evils, viz.: an overplus or food in the stomach, impaired ability to digest it, the pangs of dyspepsia, and a doctor's bill. DK. WALKER'S VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTKRS, the great Teetotal Restorative of the age, without over stimulating the palate of irritating the stomach, imparts a healthful appetite, promotes digestion, regulates the liver and bowels, purifies the blood, and thus, instead of entailing four evils, confers four inestimable benefits. 6dw4w

ART EMPORIUM.

Useful and Pleasant to your Sight Every Day.

A PRESENT FROM YOUR FRIEND

If well selected, will bring joy to the one who gives, as well as to the one who lgceives. What shall I give him? or, what would be pleasant and useful to her? is often the question, especially at Christmas time.

Here is the answer:

BUY A GOOD PICTURE,

WELL FRAMED, AT

R. GAGG'S

ART EMPORIUM,

No. 01 Hain Street,

BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH.

It will he a lasting present, which brings the liberal friend in recollection every day ol the year. It is not an article that is used up and gone. It will bo an ornament of your house or your room, and will give it a more lovely and homely appearance. Just try it once—take away the pictures from the walls of your rooms and you will feel as if you had lost a friend.

Take this a hint, and if you intend to buy for Christmas a picture, it is now the right time to make the selection, to enable the frame manufacturer to put it up with caie. You can find a splendid assortment at the ART EMPORIUM, at Low Prices, and wli at is most desirable, everything neat and effect. oct24dlm

NEWSPAPERS. WEEKLY

Chicago Tribune.

DOLLAR PER TEAK, In Large Clubs.

PROSPECTUS FOB 1872.

The Weekly Chicago Tribune, for the year 1872, will consist of fL-st-class original and sele ted matter, embracing the latest news by telegraph and mail, down to the hour of going to press, editorials, correspondence, repoi ts of the proceedings of Congress and of tlie Lesfc latures of the Western States, and of important public meetings and political speeches, financial and commercial intelligence, reports of the grain, provision, lumber, dry goods, cattle, and general markets, notices of new publications, and other literary and miscellaneous intelligence. It will also contain weekly summaries of information concerning the work of

REBUILDING CHICAGO, And restoring its former greatness alter its late devastation by fire.

The year 1872, it will be remembered, is a

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, And the campaign will, in all probability, be as exciting as any that has transpsred since the outbreak of the late war. THE CHIC AGO TRIBUNE will uphold and defend the principles of the Republican party with its accustomed vigor and earnestness. Our platform consists of:

Equal and exact justice, at th« ballot-box and before the law, to all men, wiihout distinction of race or color.

Amnesty for all political oft'cces connected with the rebellion. A tariff"for public revenue only.

Pres. rvation of the public lauds for actual settlers under the Homestead and Pre-emption laws.

Opposition to monopolies of every description, and to corruption in every form. Such iwform of the civil service as shall make men and fitness, instead of partsan zeal or per sonal favoritism, the test of perferment to Federal offices.

Our eaders, and the public generally, are so well acquainted with the tone and quality ot THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of the 25th year of our existence as a public journal we had the misfortune, in common with a large majosity of the business community of Chicago, to be burned out, losing thereby the most commodious newspaper building in the United States, and being deprived, temporarily of the use of our extensive printing mnchinery We have commenced rebuilding our ruined edifice on a more enduring plan than before, and we have effected arrangements for the use of machinery which practically gives us the same facilities that we possessed before tne fire. Up on occupation of our new building and machinery THE TRIBUNE will be issued as an octavo, and contain eight pages of reading matter.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be published regularly as heretofore eacn Wednesday upon the following

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

Daily, Weekly and Semi-Weekly.

This journal is now thoroughly identified with the greatest political necessity of the hour —uncompromising warfare against all forms of corruption, whether in national or local government. For years past the TIMES has been exposing the demoralizing schemes of self-in-terested politicians, and its recent warfare upon the Tammany Democrats has been received with universal approval. It has adhered to the pledge given in lis original prospectus, more than twenty years ago, that the public should be truly represented, and their interests faithfully guarded through its columns. Its record has been pure and honorable, and the highest aim of its proprietors is to render it more and more worthy of its past history, and of the confidence which the public repose in it. Two out of three of the original proprietors still direct its policy, and guide it on all public questions. They propose that the TIMES shall continue to keep clear of ail narrow and unworthy influences and cliques, and aim to represent the great body of the public, as distinguished from personal factions. It occupies a perfectly independent position, and is free to speak the truth on all subiects and about all men. Its greatly increased circulation throughout the country adds to its power and influence. It will continue to be a faithful exponent of Republican principles, and advocate with untiring energy every cause wliich tends to further the welfare of the people.

The utmost care will be devoted to gathering political news from special sources during the Presidential canvass. This department of the paper will be unusually full and trustworthy. Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in every department of the paper, and large space will be devoted to reports of speeches made during elections, or on other important political occasions.

A very full summary of news, and many general articles of great interest, are published in the (Semi-Weekly editions and in the Weekly edition there is an unabridged report of the proceedings ot the Farmers' Club, an excellent summary of political information, and a great variety of matter suita le for family reading.

The NEW YORK TIMES is pre-eminently a family paper, all objectionable advertisements being rigidly excluded and it has a constantly increasing circulation among the most respectable classes of the community.

our Competitors Combined

DRY GOODS,

OH ALLE IV C* E2

Our citizens are familiar ^itli thfi claims put forth by certain of our competitors to being tbe "Leading House," "Tlie Great Headquarters," the "Chief [Emporium." Ac. Some go so far as to assert in so many words, that their sales are larger than any other Dry Goods house in the city.

WE PROPOSE TO TEST THE QUESTION!

We believe our sales, even in our store before it was enlarged, and when we were

badly crippled for rooin, far exceeded those of any single Dry Goods establishment in

town. Now, owing to the splendid addition made to our store, which gives us, in our

three floors and basement, much the largest Dry Goods and Carpet Establishment in

this section of the State, we have ample room for doing an immense trade, and for

the accommodation of all our customers. Our recent sales, we believe, are

Greater than those of Any Two Other Dry Goods Houses

We propose to test the question by challenging any two of our competitors to com­

COMPARE THEM THUS COMBINED WITH OURS,

Each firm to make affidavit to the correctness of the {(mount of sales reported, and to

permit inspection of any or all of their books that the committee may desire to ex­

amine in order to arrive at a correct decision.

We propose to show this community that in spite of the fact that every one of the

Dry Goods merchants of this city are combined against us, and in most instances do

not scruple to employ means, however unworthy, to injure our trade, we are still so

grandly supported in our warfare upon high prices by the people, that our sales have

increased so rapidly as now to be, we believe, Greater than the Sales of any Two of

Now, gentlemen, walu up and "toe the mark," or else admit you DARE NOT make

the comparison of sales asked for. In the latter case do not let us hear anything more

about j'our "Leading Emporiums" and "Great Headquarters."

Our Great Opening Sale Continued!

For a few days longer we shall make no change in our prices. The rush since our

opening has been so great that some of our regular customers have been unable to

get waited upon. We desire to give all a chance at these bargains, which have so

electrified the country for miles around. We have just received and placed on sale

A big lot of American Delaines at 13 l-2c. Other stores are charging just double that price for them.

iiagnificen stuck of Jfew Striped Shawls at $3, $4. and $5. We are selling an enormous number of Shawls. Customers tell us our prices are far below what other stores are charging.
