J. II. McVickcr, the veteran manager cf McVicker'a Theatre and of othei dramatic enterprises throughout tho country, received a dlicharge in bankruptcy to day; hia liability on the bond of David A. Gage, the defaulting er-city treasurer, which was the principal causo of his misfortune, is thus, by the generous action ot his creditors, entirely disposed of. The Duty of the Future.

Under this caption, that staunch old Republican paper, the Albany Evening Journal, speaks to the Republican party In New York, in terms so appropriate, that we transfer the article to our columns. It is as appropriate in Wisconsin as in New York. Let the reader substitute Wisconsin" for "New York," wherever it occurs, and its application will be com-pie. The Journal says: "The Republicans of New York went into tho recent canvass with unity, sagacity, honesty and courage. We come out of it with a splendid victory, with universal good feeling, and with the key of the future ia our hands.

Tho wisdom of the present hoar and of the coming months is to preserve this concord of sentiment, this strength of harmony, this supremacy of principle and this conquering spirit of true, brave earnest Republicanism. With Buch a temper, and such a purpose, the largest possibilities are open before us. Our party has won the Empiro State because it boldly fought to win and fully deserved to win. From the beginning to the end of tho battle, it displayed excellent generalship. It saw and seized a great opportunity.

Never in its history did it make a nobler fight or gain a worthier triumph. At the very outset it placed itselt on the highest plane of principle. It found the public faith assailed, the Nation's honor endangered, and it lifted the flag of National honesty and sound money to the very front. It found the pesti General Notes. There are now about sixty histories of England, but every year adds to the number.

Among others, tho Longmaus have in press Mr. Spknckr Walpole's "History of England from the Conclusion of the War of 1815." A Worcester (Mass.) clergyman, on Sunday, notified his hearers as follows: "Communion service will be held in this church this afternoon, and the Stato election will be held on Tuesday. God save the commonwealth of Massachusetts." Lumbering in the forests of Maine will not be as lively this winter as last, as prices aro low, but crews are preparing for work, and enough logs will bo cut to keep the mills in the State running, as they cannot stop without a great sacrifice. Tho President of the Berlin police, ou the strength of the anti-socialist bill, has dissolved four socialist societies in that city, and prohibited thirty-four socialist books and pamphlets, published at Berlin, Berne, Zurich, Brussels, Pes Ik and Chicago. Euglish papers say they have never known so many farms of tho better class in the market.

They say if any man will take a pen and correct the prices of any former year's balance sheet by tho prices of to day, he will find sufficient cause for apprehension. Portugal is now building the most important European railroad now under construction. It is called the Berra Alta railway, is one hundred and twenty -five miles long, traverses a rich and populous district, and forms a long desired link between Lisbon and Taris. It is estimated to cost over $38,000 per mile, of which over $41,000 will be paid by the government. The New Haven Register prints this Further Election Returns.

Dose at the city of Madison, this seventh day of November, In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight. By the Goveinor: WILLIAM E. SMITH. Haks B. Warner, Secretary of State.

Death of Norman Judd- Chicago is called to mourn one of its oldest and prominent citizens. Norman B. Judd, died at his residence in that city, very suddenly at seven o'clock on the morning of the 11th ot November. He was in his usual health on Sunday, and retired to rest on that evening, feeling well and in excellent spirits. At half past 12 o'clock, he was seized with violent sneezing.

A physician was called, and when he arrived, Mr. Jcdd was entirely unconscious, and expired at seven o'clock in tho morning. Apoplexy the reported cause of his death. Mr. Judd has occupied a prominent position in Chicago, and in the Northwest, and his death will cause deep re-grot to host3 ot Iriends.

lie was born in Rome, New York, January 10, 1815. He received a liberal education, studied law, and when admitted to the Bar, commenced practice in Chicago, in company with J. D. Caton, Ex-Chiei Jus. tice of the Supreme Court ot Illinois.

lie arrived in Chicago in November, 1830, when that now great city, was but a small village. The following year, he was elected City Attorney. In 1838, he formed a partnership with John Y. Scammon, that continued nine years; and on its termination, he became connected with John M. Wilson in practice, who was afterwards elected Judge.

Mr. Judd was a Democrat in early life, and in 1844, was elected to the State Senate, in which body he continued by re-elections, for sixteen years. He has served as attorney for sev-eral railroad companies. On the organization of the Republican party, he having taken strong ground against Douglas in his Kansas-Nebraska position, Mr. Judd united himself with that party.

He became an intimate friend of Abraham Lincoln, and urged strongly his nomination for the Presidency in 1800, scorning the idea that he should accept the second place upon the ticket. He was an active member of the National Convention that nominated Lincoln, and promoted his cause with much energy. Ho was one of tho party that accompanied President Lincoln to Washington in February 1861, and immediately after the formation of the new Cabinet, Mr. Judd was appointed Minister to Prussia, a position he held till removed by President Johnson. He was elected to the 40th Congress, and re-elected to the 41st, closing his Congressional life on the 4th of March, 1871.

having declined a re-nomination. In 11872, Mr. Judd wa3 appointed Collector of Customs for Chicago, serving creditably in that position till the fall of 1875. Since that time he has pur sued the calling ot a private life, and endeavored to recruit his private fortune. it will be seen that Mr.

Judd was a pioneer to Chicago, has lived an active and useful life, and his death will produce deep sorrow among the people of the city where he has so long resided and been prominent in promoting its interests. He leaves a wife and three children, two sons and one daughter, to mourn the loss of a cherished husband and father. There is not absolute harmoDy of opinion yet, in the Democratic party, respecting the policy of the future and their relations with the Greenbackerf. Thus the Racine Argus, in philosophiz ing upon the result of the election, inclines to think it is unwisa for the Democratic party to abandon its principles, unless it can make something by so doing. It says: Whether the action of the Elkhorn con vention was wise or not, we leave the people to judge.

But this we do say, it is net safe for a party to forsake its hfe-loDg principles unless there is sufficient reason to justify them in so doing. Whether in this case it was safe, is bent seen in the complete Waterloo which has fallen like an iceberg ufon the hopes of the Democracy in nearly every Stato where it has been tried. The Grand Rapids 1'ribune, on the other band, maintains that the Democratic party is the natural ally of the Green-backers, and that the great need of the hour is for the Grecnbackers to be more docile, and ready to submit more tamely to the programme of the Democratic leaders. It says. Now, do the Greenbackers hanker for any more lickings? There are lots of em left and can be dealt out on request.

Do our Greenback Iriends still desire defeat? or will they abandon all impracticable notions and go on with ther natural ally and win future elections Delafield is to be developed into a summer resort. Chicago parties are interested, and will spend money in beautifying the place. Delafield is naturally a beautiful place, and has a mineral spring also. The Tammany OJlki.ii, to Rcmo v'i.

45. Ainsworth It. Spafford, ap pel. lant, vs. James B.

Kirk et al. Appeal from Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The principal question involved in the case, is the validity and operative effect of an assignment of a claim against United States, whether such an assignment made before a claim has been allowed, and before a warrant has been issued for its payment, has aDy validity in law or equity. The Court holds that the accepted orders uuder which the appellant claims, gave him no interest in the claim of drawer against theJUnited States, and no lien upon the funds arising out of such claim. His bill was, therefore, rightfully dismissed in the lower court, and the Supreme Court dismisses the appeal.

No. 53. J. M. Petiigrew, surviving partner, plaintiff in error, vs.

United States, in error. To Circuit Court of tho United States for Western District of Tennessee. Judgment of the court belo reversed and now trial granted. No. 5.

Tho Northwestern Fertilizing Company, plaintiff in error, vs. Village of Hyde Park et al, in error. To Supreme Court of Illinois. The plaintiff in error in this cause, the Northwestern Fertilizing Company, was incorporated by an act of the Legislature, and authorized and ordered to establish ground, which ia now near the limits of Hyde Park, and maintain for a term of 50 year chemical and other works for the reduction ot offal to fertilizing compounds. The estab-lisment, it is alleged, became so offensive as to be a nuisance.

In 1867, the Legislature revised the charter of the village of Hyde Park, and expressly authorized it to abate the nuisances, which are, or may be, injurious to the public health. In accordance with this, the revised charter municipality sought by ordinance to prevent the carrying of the following through the village, and in 1873, after this, proceeded to arrest and fine the fertilizing companies employ ces for violating the law. A bill was then file! by the company praying for an injunction and general relief, on the ground that it was protected by its charter from the operation of the municipal ordinance complained of. The Supreme Court of the State, upon appeal, dismissid the bill, upon this general statement of the facts by the plaintiff in error in an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States: This Court hold3 that the existenco of a nuisance is incontroverted and that the police power of the State, which belonged to it at the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and which it still possesses, is adequate to give effectual remedy, since il extends to the entire property of business within its local jurisdiction, and the regulation and abatement of the nuisance is one of its ordinary functions. It is therefore atlrmed.

Instead of cowering before these cries, instead of pandering to the enemies of the Nation's good name, it bravely challenged and charged them. National Hon esty, Hard Money and No Sway of a Solid South were proclaimed as the watch-words of Republicanism. Then, the manner of the canvass was as wise as its principles were lofty. The State Convention was admirably handled. The voice of contention was dropped.

In the mag-nitude of the emergency all Republicans came together in a broad and liberal spirit. The generalship was as consummate as the battle was momentus. No mistakes wasted or weakened the opportunity. And the result is that the Republicans stand to-day with one accord rejoicing over a common victory, and ready for the common cause of the future. With this grand result, we repeat, that the wisdom of the hour is to preserve the gratified and gratifying feeling which now prevails throughout the Republican ranks of New York.

It can bemain-taiued by the same brave and supreme devotion to principle, by the same generous spirit of fraternity, and by the same sagacity of management. The party has not for years been as cordially united in feeling and in purpose as it is to day. Let us keep it so. It only needs the continued impulse and temper of the recent campaign. And the tremendous responsibility which rests upon the Republicans of New York, in view of the next Presidential cantest, enjoins us, by the sacred duty we owe our brethren of the whole couDtry, to meet this high command.

The Presidential battle is to be fought out within this State. Whether our Government shall remain in patriotic Republican hands, or whether it shall pass under the mastery of a solid South, is to be decided here. The situation gives a great opportunity to the Republicans of New York, but at the same time gives us a heavy responsibility. We can win again, as wc have won now, by deserving to win. The spirit, the principle, the generalship of the last campaign, will secure another victory and save the country." Official Majorities.

Religious Swindle in Milwaukee. Tne Milwaukee papers report that a swindler, giving the name of Langley, and purporting to hail from St. Louis, has been operating on the Milwaukeeans in a novel game, for two weeks past. He pretended to be the agent of the Ladies' Social Circle of the Methodist Church, and to be raising money for the support of three young girls who were yellow fever orphans. His plan was to sell tickets for a raffle for a watch, which was described as a splendid aflair.

He employed only respectable and well-known young ladies, who canvassed their neighborhoods and sold tickets not for pay, but to help the cause. Five young ladies are known to have been employed, and two, Avho only operated on Saturday last, paid $25. Tht raffle was announced for Saturday night, at the Kirby House, and Langley evidently concluded that he had worked the field for all it was worth. He gave these young ladies the watch, and told them to carry it to the Kirby House, which thty did, when it proved to be worthless. The young ladies were run into the Police Station, but they were so evidently innocent of any complicity in the swindle that they were discharged.

The swindler skipped cut before the raf-He, and is supposed to have made from $300 to $500 through his scheme. A defect in a wheel threw a mail car off the track of the Wisconsin Central Railway while the train of which it was a part was nearing Milwaukee, on Thursday night. from real life: "Mother wants you to let her take your polonaise pattern, and be so kind as to fill this cup with yeast, and is your clock right, and what time is it, and a little meal in this pan, and won't you writedown your receipt for rye muffins, and please not let your turkeys rest on our fence any more, 'cause dad says he'll shoot Pauperism in London is something fearful.

The longest train believed to have ever been drawn by a single engine, recently traveled over the Northern Central Railroad, of Pennsylvania. The train consisted of 183 empty freight cars, 1 loaded eight-wheeler, 2 cabooses, and a dead engine. The train was 6,200 feet long, or 920 feet more than a mile. The distance traveled was 31 miles, mostly up grade, at a speed of 10 miles an hour. A recent explorer of southern Patagonia says that the climate from tho River Santa Cruz to Cape Horn may fairly be compared to that of Great Britain from the English Channel to the north of Scotland.

The eastern part of the Patagonian peninsula is the most salubrious. On the highlands it is dry, with nighf dews, but little rain. In winter snow falls, but in the spring, summer and autumn the climate ia delightful, with some few days of intense heat. The women of Prague are shouting the battle cry of freedom. The local Board of Health is attempting to enforce measures of dress reform.

It has issued an edict prohibiting the fair sex from "wearing long dresses." Considering, say the doctors, "that training robes raise a dust in the streets which is highly preju-diclal to the public health, it is henceforth forbidden to wear the robes in question in tbe public thoroughfares." There are vague apprehensions of a riot. The income cf the Prince Louis Napoleon, Eugenie's son, is only $8,000 a year, derived from a little property in Illyria left him by the Princess Baccto-chi. The smallnes3 of the Prince's income is the alleged reason for the parents of Princess Tiiyra refusing to let her marry him, although the ex-Empress offered to settle on her son two-thirds of her own income, or about $60,000 a year. The Duke of Cumberland, son of the late ex-King of Hanover, and a near relative of Queen Victoria, who is betrothed to Ttiyra, besides an ample fortune already in his possession, is to receive about from the German government for renouncing his right to the throne of Hanover. Silver Bullion.

The annual report of Director Linderman, of the U. S. Mint, has been issued. After full details of purchases and coinage, and statements regarding the purchase of gold and silver, it closes with the following statement in regard to the course of silver bullion At the date of the passage of tho act authorizing the coinage ot dollars of AlVA grains, the price oi bar silver was about 55 pence per ounce, British standard. From that date, Feb.

28 last, the price gradually declined until tt reached pence on the 17th of October. The price at the date of this report Is 60yt pence. From the foregoing, it will be seen that the expectation entertained by many that the remonetization of the silver dullar would be followed by the appreciation in value of silver has not, as yet, been realized. Tbe causes of the decline tn value during the present calendar year have been a very large decrease in the demand for export to India and China, the continued closure of the mints of the States of ihe Latin Monetary Union, and of the Netherlands against the coinage of legal-tender silver coins, tho use of irredeemable paper currency by Austria and Bassia, and tho readiness of the German government to meet any fair market with free supplies, making a sale recently in London of one hundred thousand pounds as low as 61 pence per ounce. It will, oi course, be readily understood, that as long as the supply of silver Is In excebs of the demand, there can be no permanent rise in value.

An increased demand of any magnitude can only arise from India and China, or In tho event of the resumption of the coinage of legal-tender Bilver coins by France, Belgium and the Netherlands. While this complicated, uncertain and unsatisfactory condition ot affairs with the relative value of gold and silver continues, it will require that the course to be pursued by the United States should be very cautious In respect to the Issue of legal-tender silver coins in which Bilver is rated so much above its market value, if gold is to be retained as the principal money of payment and of commerce. It should be added, in this connection, that, while silver is the monetary standard ot the Austr Hungarian and Russian Empire, their more recent public loans have been mac) upon a gold basis, which will require their tariff duties to be collected In that metal. Foreign exchanges are likewise settled on a gold basis. Marine Intelligence.
