Dccombcr 21. homo tlmo durinit the venr 18G7. tho Illinois In duttrlal university was locaiouai uruana, Ohampalgn county, by tho leglslnturo, in cunsldnrnUiA of iiUonation of nroinrly nd inone.v'bt?tb" county, llonds wore tho county to ino amount ot IMPKACI1MEST DEMANDED. Tho'SUto Rcglito' ' demands the im peachment of Hon. Jatnoi K. Edsall, at torney Bn f the SUl'' In lb" Cninoi: Tho Hon. Attorney-aeneral bit eono over to tbo public enemy, and Is now acting in concert and sympathy with the tax-dodgers of Chicago. Specification: "The ItcpuWle Ufo In aranco Company filed a bill In tho circuit court of Cook county for an injunction to Mttrain any stops being takon to collect the state tax on Its property for any high- er value than 541,000. Tho bll was a fraud on Its faco, and so Judgo larwdl decided and kicked the wholo batch of windlcrs and tar dodgers,' with alt their falso oaths, out or court. Tho conspirators were brought to n, ttanditlll at once, and found that tboy could not depend upon Judicial aid to carry out tho swindle they proposed. It was necessary to start atresh. Hon. Jai. K. Ediall was elected attorney goneral of this stato by tho peo plo forth purpoio of sorving their intor etts ; they pay hlui, and bo owes them his time, all of his knowledge, and all his abil ity, bo the same more or less. Hut in look ing over tho field aftor their defeat in court, the conspirators discovered that Edsall could bo used for their purposes, and they entored into negotiations with him, which havo rcsultod in two egreed cues being presented to tho circuit court of Cook county for tho purposo of oppot- ine tho collection of the stato taxes for 1873. It has beon agroed betweon tho at torney for tho people on ono eido, and tho attorney for tho conspirators on tho other, that these cases shall bo carried at once to the suprome court in ordor, say the tax dodgers, that a decision may bo had osrly in January," Possibly we aro vory dull, but wo aro constrained to admit we cannot bring our elf to th'e conclusion that the action of the attorney in this tnnttcr can be raited into the dlcnltv of an iinpeachnblo of- fonse. Indoed, a casual glance at tbo sub Ject falls to convoy to our mind tbo im pression that tho attorney general bas been cuilty of any offunso at all. In fact it appears clear to our mind that Mr. Ai torney General Edsall has not only not beon culltv of offanso, tut bt wiielv. W'h&t has ho don tax-payor of Cook county denies the right ftJfrS.in al')nt.fvM9!m tOBtTOUrts. The tar-payer has a right to do that. Tbe question can be docidod finally in tbo sup reme court and not short of that court. It is for tbo public interest to obtain that de cision u speodily as possible. Tbo ques tion Is one of law. Tho State says: ' I bare a right under tho constitution to collect front you, tbo ltepublic Lifo Insur ance company, certain taxos. Tho com pany says: " Aa I understand ray rights you have not; but if you havo 1 will pay. but us make an agroed caso, and tond it to the supremo court, to which it mutt finally go, and abide by tho decision." Agreed," responds Mr. Hdtall for the BUto; and Immediately tho 'ltoglstcr' cries: "Impeach him." Positively, wo would like to aid in the impeachment of Edsall or anybody olsoto obligo tho ' Re gister,' but wo mutt bo convinced that Edsall entered into tbo agreement with tbe Chicago tax-contetter for a corrupt pur i,and not, as on tbo face of tbe trans action, appears, for tho good instead of the Injury ol tb people Irilllaney till C.tndlomats nnd with great snirit till Twelfth dr.y; but now acorn mon dinner party, though turo to bo marked by a roast and plum pudding, is all that distinguishes Christmas In most families."
