Lest Friday, the Englishflag dicappeared from the Island of San Juan, which, in compliance ‘with the decision of Emperor William, England abandons to the United States. — Minister Washburne stated last evening, in ‘his speech at the dinner given him by citizens of Chicago, that he wasnot a candidate for the United States Senate. Professor Tyndall’s proposal to put the efficacy of prayer for merely material blessings, like re- covery from illness, to a practical test, is pro- nounced impious and atheistical by a meeting of Methodist preachers in New York. The Supreme Court of Ilincis has decided that where property was insured against fire for five years, and the first year's premium was paid In cash, and notes givenfor the remainder paya- ble at intervals, and the insurance company be- comes insolvent, the consideration for the note fails, and nothing can be recovered thereon. A bill has been offered in the Massachusetts Legislature, now sitting in extra session, to authorize Boston to borrow on ite bonds, and to loa again to sufferers by the fire, $20,000,000. Evuu if this measure passes both Houses of the p sture, it will not become law unless it be Ta..cd by the o branches of the City Council. Y-sterday, the citizens of Clinton, Towa, cele- Exutad the completion of the Chicago, Clinton & Lubuague Railroad, which opens a new route be- tween Chicago and Dubuque, by the way of Ciinton. New channels for the movement to tlus market of the produce of that region aro eiforded by this road, which msy also cause a reduction in freights. In New York, a careful examination of the criminal records shows that three years impris- onment in the State Pricon is the average pun- ishment for killing 2 man. One hundred and thirty-five cases of homicide have occurred in that city since Jan.1, 1870; 61 of the partici- pants have been brought to trisl, 44 were "con- victed, and 2 have been executed. 1In the great case of the United States against Weld & Co., who were charged with having de- frauded the revenue ai the Boston Custom House to the amount of £1,400,000, a com- promise has been made by the payment, by Weld & Co., of $400,000 to the Treasury De- partment. A eimilar suit ageinst them in New York has been settled by the payment of £120,000. Miss Emily Faithfull will leave Chicago, ina few days, on her way to Milwaukee. Amongother projects with which her active philanthropy seeks te ameliorate the condition of her country- ‘women is that of & higher and better education, Bhe is particularly desirous of studying the suc- cess of, and experiments in, the coeducation of the sexes, and will for that purpose visit the Univereity of Michigan, which admits women to ita Medical Department; Cornell University, ©bgrlin College, and other institutions. —e ‘Thiers js told by the Committee appointod to snswer his message that it necds no reply, as he is only the delegato of the Assembly. The appointment of & Belect Committes of Pifteen is guggesied for the prepara- tion of & bill to give France a re- sponsible Ministry, but no other solution is offered of constitutional guesticns. A mi- ‘nority report will be presented mors £a7orgble to the President. If Thiers tendershisresignaiian, the Right is ready fo accept it, and make Chan- garnier Dictator. The Chicago Gas-Light and Coke Company submitted to the Common Council, last evening, o proposal to furnish the city with gas at & price which will yield them 10 per cent net profit on the value of their capital stock and property. Taey offer to sell the city the gas works, mains, pipes, etec., for & sum to be fixed by persons competent to determine the value of the prop-~ erty. Alderman Holden stated thathe under- stood the Sonth Side Gas Compauy would make | acimilar proposal. In order that the matter might have the careful consideration its impor- tance demands, it was referred to the new Council. . | Secretary Robeson represents our navy tobo inasadstate. When tho United States Consul General ab Havana, last year, telegraphed for an Americzn paval force, in view of possible trouble with Spain, only five ships could be found fit to go, although Spain had twenty- threo powerful vessels in Cuben waters. The navy yards are filled with vessels and materials which are worthless. On some of these ships, as the Pensacola, - more has been spent in repairs than they originally cost. Only tenof the fifty iron-clads can be used; and the twenty light-draft monitors, built at o cost of $16,000,000, have never been in service. In the case of Raflerty, the Suprema Court of Tlinois unanimously agreed that the Court be- low erred in not granting & change of venue. ‘The opinion of the Court is published, and in it the Court state that, previous to the year 1861 the statute was peremptory that, upon applica, tion by a prisoner for a change of venuo, it ahun]d'ba granted. In 1861, the Legislature, by way of correcting the abuse which had grown,_ up under this law, undertook to confor upon the Cougt to whom the application was made the “ power to grant or deny the same.” Byan ex- press exception, this amendatory law was not made applicable to cases where tho prisoner was charged with 2 capital crime, thus leaving to a person charged with murder the priviloge of a chango of venue as a matter of right. The So- preme Court conld dono less than reverse tho decision below. E — Jay Gould says, under oath, that the facts, on which the order was granted for his arrest, were distorted by the wilful suppression of other facts, such as, thatthe Directors of the Erie Rail- way had given him a release for the sums he is accused of having embezzled. He states that the information on which President Wetson applied for his arrest was furnished by Henry N. Smith, who sought, in this way, to produce a panic in the market, and break down the price of North- western stock which he was carrying upward. Onthe other hand, President Watson asserts that his charges against Gould aro based upon a Iaborions investigation, which he made in per- 8o, of Gonld's own books. These show him to have robbed the Erie Railroad of £9,726,541, which the present Board ¢ mean to recover to the last cent.” — Conflicting reports were received yesterday from various sources, touching Mr. Greeley's health, some of which asserted his insanity and removal to an asylum. Theresl factsin the case are furnished by his own paper, and may, therefore, be taken as aathentic. From the Tribune's statement it appears that he has becn seriously unwell since his wife's death, owing to mervous prostration. bronght on by loss of sleep and rest during the last month of Mrs. Greeley's iliness. The same ‘paper affords assurance, however, that, with his strong constitution snd natural vigor, therois every prospect that he will bo speedily restored to his usual health, and resume his journalistic duties. The wish will bea universal one that this favorablo result may ansue, and that ho may not long be absent from the post he has filled on the New York Tribune 50 long and o ably. — 3 The Chicago produce markets wore less setive yesterday, and most of them were lower. Mess pork was 250 lower for future delivery, closing at $13.00@18.25 cash ; 212.25 seller December, and £12.50 seller March. Lard was weak, clos- ing at TXc cash; TH@73c eeller December, and 73{c seller March. Meats wero easier, at 45¢c for part ealted shoulders ; Gl4c for do short ribs, and 6%@63¢c for short clear. Swoet- pickled hams steady 2t 9%@103c. Highwines ‘were moderstely active, but 1¢c lower, at 88i4c per gallon. Lake freights were more active, and firm at 113¢c for corn, and 12}/ @12}4c for wheat, by sail to Buffalo. Flour wasquiet and firm. Wheat was dull and -somewhet lower, closing dull at 91.09%4 cash, $1.08% seller December, and $1.0924 seller January. Corn was dull, and 3@ 34 lower, closing at 313 cash, and 313¢c geller November. Oats were quiet, but a shade firmer, at 239{c for car Jots, or seller December. Rye ‘was quiet, and }¢c higher, at 56c. Barley was a shade firmer, closing at 63¢ for No. 2, and 5lc for No.3. There was s good demand for hogs, but prices were irregnlar and lowet, the declino averaging shout 15¢ per 100 Ibs. Sales were ef- fected 2t $4.00@4.35. The cattle trade was dull, and prices favored buyers, Sheep remasin quiet. A New York Court, in the case of the widow of Avery D. Putnam against the Scventh Avenuo Railroad Company, decides that the conductor and driver of the car were bound to protect her husband agninst being killed by Foster. In other words, every common carrier of passen- gers is bound to protect one pessenger ageinst all such assaults by another passenger as it is in the power of the employes of the carrier pres- ent at the time to prevent. The principle ap- plies equally to railroad companies, steamers, sailing vessels, stages, and all other carriers of passengers. In the case of Putnam, the murder was committed by the use of a carhook, which Foster ook from tho front platform. Had the conductor and driver promptly interfered, the murder would have been prevented. This fact was established on the trial of Foster for the murder, and, in the widow's suit against the Railroad Company, the jury rendered & verdict, without hesitation, for the five thousand dollars damages claimed. Railroad officers everywhero will hereafter under- standthat among the other qualifications required by theiremployesis the prompt and manly conrage which will cause them to protect all passengors sgainst insult, as well as violence, from their brutal or intoxicated fellow-passengors. The Comptroller of the Carrency, in his re- port, recommends the repeal of the usury provisions of the National Bank- ing laws. He expresses the .opinion that much Jaws are mo longer justifiable. The present law allows National Banks to charge interest at the rate allowed by the lawa of the State or Territory where the bank is located, 2nd 2 more, except that, whers, by State laws, there 18 & different limit placed on intercat to be charged by State banke; this special rate may b collected by National Banks in that State. In the absence of eny State law fixing 2 rate of in- terest, the banks ero limited to 7 per cent. The taking, receiving, or charging any rate of inter- et greater than is thus allowed amountsito a forfeiturs of the entiro interest whick the note or bill carries with it. Persons paying illegal intorest may recover, in an ac‘ion of debt, thrice the amount of the interest tkas paid. ‘There being no unformityin the rates of in- terest prescribed by Btate Iaws, there is a di- versity of rates charged bythe banksin the several States. It does not seem possible to ob- tain this uniformity in State Legielature. What is lawful interest in one State, is usury in_an- other State; what it is lawfal to demand in one State, if collected in another Btate, forfeits double the amount. That the usury laws of the several States ought to be abolished is unquestionably true; but whether it is good policy for Congress to establish an unlimited rate to be charged by one class of corporations and on one class of contracts, while anotherand fixed rate of interest is prescribed by State lawa for all other contracts,is a question requiring careful and prudent action. e rr—r—— THE WAREHOUSE BUSINESS. The disclosures in the matter of the ware- house business are getting quite interesting. Yesterday, Mr. Ira Y. Munn was again before the Registor in Bankruptey, and his testimony will be read with interest. He gives the history of the contracts with the Northwestern Railway Company, beginning in 1862, and renewed on a larger basis in 1866. The date of the combina- tion of elevators begins about that time. It in- cluded four warehouses on the North Side, and three on the West Side; embracing all the ware- houses save those of Messrs. Buckingham, or the Illinois Central, and those of Flint & Thomp- 8on, or the Rock Island, and the warehouses of Vincent, Nelson & Co., and the Illinois River, tho two Iatter of which were subsequently pur- chased. According to Mr. Munn, the West Side eleva- tors were managed by Munn & Scott, and the North B8ide clevators by the Wheelers and others ; that the whole property was divided into 400 shares, of which the Wheeler, Munger, and Armour houses represented 150 shares; Munn & Scott's, 125 shares, and the City and Union Elevators 125. Theso several establish- ménts, though managed separately, were run in & common interest, and the profits were divided according to the respective intorests of the several owners. Alr, Munn gives the names and shares of the respective owners, and in the list will be recognized the names of Messrs. @. L. Dunlap and Perry H. Smith, who, in 1866, and for many years before, were conspicnous in the managoment of the Northwestern Rail- way., How profitable was the business msay be understood from Mr. Aunn's statement that their dividends wero made annually, his share averaging $100,000 a year for several years. The losses of his firm occurred outside the warehouse business. Mr. Munn refused peremptorily to answer questions as to whether and how grain received into his warehouses was delivered or got out without the surrender of the receipts; and also rofused to answer questions as to the considera- tion of his deed af transfer to George Armour; or whether it was understood that Armour was totake up his grain psper, or whether, in fact, it was taken up by the other partnors in the warehouse combination. The counsel for the creditors gave notice of their intention to apply to the Court for an order compelling him to an- swer theso questions. THE PRICE OF IRON. The Chief of the Revenue Marine Burean of tho United States Treasury makes report thet, in consequence of the great increase in the cost of iron, the plan of building the six new revenue cutiers of that material will be abandoned, and they will be builtof wood. Though confess- ing that the iron is superior for this particular service, there is urgent need of these vessels, and the present price of iron renders it imprac- ticable to build them for the sum authorized by Congress. The reasons for the great advanco in the price of iron in Europe do not prevail in this country except to n small oxtent, thongh the prices of all American iron have been ad- vanced in & corresponding degree. The present advance in the price of Europesn iron exceeds the heavy duty levied for the pro- tection of the American manufacturers, 50 that the protection now is double what it was a year ago. All need of protection, therefore, is removed. We can make iron in the United States and sell it for less than it is now sold forn England. ‘The continuance of the duty on iron, under these circumstances, is an act of oppression. There isnot enough iron made in the United States to meet the demand. Importation is o necessity, and the duty of 825 to 940 per tonin gold has not even the poor pretext of protection to justifyit. |Thatduty ‘might be repealed withont the slighest injury to American manufactures, and at the same time afford a direct relief to the maes of manufac- turers to whom iron is a raw material. The wooden ehip building has been taxed out of ex- istonce, and to continue this duty on iron is to put an end to the building of iron ships, and to reduce the consumption of all other fabrics of +which iron is an essential part. —— THE PRUSSIAN CRISIS. 1t is a rather remarkable coincidence that the two great powers of Europe, Francoe and Ger- many, which but & short time since were at war with each other, aro now struggling with grave political questions, which have brought sbout a crigis in each Government. The French crisis, which has already been explained in our col- ‘umns, grows out of the plots and conflicts be- tween radical and comservative Republicans, which are aided and abetted by the Monarchists, as they deem most conducive to their interests. The crisis in Germany turns upon the reform of provincial administration, and hes already ar- rayed the Government, including the Emperor and his Chancellor, ageinst the Peers, or Upper House, =nd the nobility. The question was first -introduced, in 1862, by . the Liberal Ministry of Count Schwerin, at which time an attempt was made to alter the ex- isting systems of governmentin the six prov- inces of Prussia. The scheme made no prog- ress, however, until 1869, when a new project was introduced by Count Eulenberg, but the war of 1870 delayed action, and it was not until the fall of 1871 that the second bill was brought in. After long and tedious discussions, a com- promise was effected between the Government and the Lower House, and the bill was carried Dbyi256 votes to 61. The compromise abolished the hereditary Magistracy, allowed cities to elect Mayors and Aldermen, deprived land-owners of their eontrol over the police, and established o new adminjstration appointéd B¥ the Governor of the province, The Provincial Asgembly ap- pointed by the King was retained, but a Oom- mittee of six was appointed, to hold office for gix years, who propsred measures for the As- sembly to act upon. The bill went to the Up- per Honse and was rejected by an overwhelming mojority. The Government had confidently expected that the Peers would pass it, and thus acomplete breach has been made between the Conservatives and the Crown, and the Emperor and Chancellor find themselves arrayed against nobility. The temper of éach is at its maxi- {mum heigltt. The Peers have become enraged atthe threats which have been hurled at them, and the Emperor and Bismarck are enraged at meeting with opposition from those wpon whom they hed depended for assistance in carrying out [the projects having reference to the centralization of power in the new Empire. The Peers have opposed the bill because it was & direct blow at their interests, 'and stripped them of the influence and power which they have hitherto wielded, by overthrov- {ing provincial independence, and taking away ‘from the provinces the aristocratio leadership in their governments, which has hitherto been in the hands of the Peers. On the other hand, the Government favored it, because it was neces- sary to the strength and success of the Empire that the provinces should be stripped of their independence, and brought more completely under the rule of tho Empire. Uni- versal military service is the foundation upon which the German Empire rests, and the re- sults of its rigorous enforcement are already visible in the rapid increase of emigration from the German towns and cities. But it cannot be made absolute until all the provinces are brooght under the immediate rule of the Em- pire, and until the people of those provinces feel that they have a direct interestin the pre- servation of the Empirs,—a feeling which they could not have if they possessed an independ- ent form of government to which they were first responsible. The bill was shrewdly drawn. While really consolidating and strengthening the Empire, it threw a sop to the people, as it ostensibly secured them more rights, a more direct interest in their provincial and municipal governments, and involved a bit- ter conflict with the nobility, although this was not the intention of the Government in the ont- set. The conflict, however, is none the less wel- come to the people, and it is not impossible that it may enure to the advantage of popular liberty, as such conflicts have done before. What will be the outcome of this conflict it ia difficult to foresee. The Government demands that the bill shall be passed, and the Peers re- fuse to pees it. All other legislation, however necessary, has been placed in abeyance to this bill, and the fight has evidently got to be fought out, although, if the Peers maintain their pres- ent position without yielding, there would secm to be no resource left except to cut the kmot by abolishing the Chamber, and creating a new one which shall be more in accordance with the sen- timent of the Government. That this may yet be the solution of the dfficulty is rendered pos- gible by the fact that the Government organs are wurging this course. Mean- while, it is rather significant that while the Franco-German war has given France & Republican form of government, it has given Germany an Empire; and while M, Thiers is struggling to make the Republic perpetusl by conservative measures, Bismarck is struggling to make the Empire perpetual by alliance with' the Radicals; and that, while M. Thiers is devis ing means to enlarge the popular liberties, Bis- marck is striving to curtail them by the estab- lishment of an Empire based upon compulsory military service, and an abolition of what we shonld call in this country States’ Rights. THE CLAIM AGAINST MEXICO, . The Commission sent down to the Mexican-~ Texanborder, to investigate the complaints made of alleged outrages by Mexicans on American citizens, has made & partial report. The Com- mission confined its examination to the territo- ry on the Rio Grande River, for a distance of 500 miles from its mouth. They estimate that the damages to property sustained by Ameri- cans living within that district amounts to 830, 000,000. The Commission say that, had they boen zble to continue their investigations fur- ther along the line, and up to El Paso, the total damage would be found not less than $100,000,- 000. Our whole claim against England for dam- agescaused bythe Anglo-Confederate crnisers did not reach £16,000,000. For the recovery of this sum, there were thousands who insisted upon & war with England. But the claims by our countrymen of Texas is gix times as great a8 the Alabama claims, and how are they ever to be paid? There is a Commission now in seesion for hearing claims of American citizens against Mexico, and it amounts to nothing. That unfortunate Republic cannot pay these damages, and when this additional claim for $100,000,000 is made, all thought of recovering it will be visionary. It looks, however, as if this monster claim is part of the general plan to get up some protext for an invasion of Mexico, and the occupation of her territory by our mili- tary forces. Such a messure oa that will inevit- ably produce war, and to a war with Mexico, once begun, there can be but one result, and that is the spoliation of the Republio by the forcible annexation of &0 much of the territory as our rulers may decide upon taking. Once determined upon & war of conquest, pretexts will be easily found, and the only way to arrest that determination is a vigor- ous declaration of hostile public opinion. The counfry i8 not in o condition, fin'an‘(a!ly, to Taise new armies to go forth to conquer foreign territory which we do not want. THE PRENCH ASSEMBLY. According to the Paris correspondent of the New York Herald, there aro six distinct factions in the French Asgembly. This division does not include those of the Deputes who do not Bympa~ thize with any one of these parties, for six fac- tions are not sufficient to coverall the diversities of political sentiment that prevail in France at ithe present time. Neither the Communists mor the Imperialists have any distinct Tecognition in the composition of the present Assembly. The guillotine and penal colonies have provided for the first, and flight or exile has offered -an exit for the last. It ia not to be supposed, however, thet their partisans have all disappeared; they are simply suppressed for the time being, and it is safe to assume that they would come to the surface and take sides upon the slightest provocation. As it would be diffcult o make any classification of more than six factions in any one House at one time, and impossibls for the man who should do it foretain his seuses, it is probably just ag well that the Herald correspondent wentno further, " The Extreme Left of the Assembly is com- posed of the fiesess Rodicals—the nearest ap- proach that is tolerated to tho Terrorists of old Revolutionary days “and the Communigts of modern times, The leaders are Gambetts and Louis Blanc. Ths latter doss the thinking and the former the splurge; Gambetts orates and Blanc philosophizes. * Gambetts is the bolder and more brillisht. Louis Blanc is more caus tious and concifatory, because he has suffered the penalties ¢f yonthfal enthusiasm. The Left proper i3 composed of Moderate Republicans, who stay . away from the meetings of the Republican Union, who have some ‘sensible conception of the pos- sible Republican form of Government, and who are greatar in numbers than any other one of the factions. The political charncter of the Left is vell indicated in the lesdership of Grevy, who wag about the only man upon whom the ma- Jority could agree to preside over the first As- sembly, and who was 80 reasonable that he was re-elected for the present session, The Left Centre ig & nearer approach to the French idea ‘of Conservatiem, or strong government, whose- notion of governmentis rather that of a Pro- tectorate than of & Republio. They are led by Chauzy, one of the few Generals in the Franco- Prussian war who did not cause himself to be written down an ass; and they represent Thiers later preferences since deserting the Monarchi- cal party for] & quasi Republic. The Bight Centre opens the way fo the Monarchists, who differ from their neighbors in their devotion to tho younger, or Orleans, branch of the Bourbon family, the chief living representative being found in the porson of the Comte de Paris. The Moderate Right, which is larger in numbers than any other faction except the Moderate Left, is sim~ ply devoted to Monarchy without any expressed preferences. It consists of men like old Gen- eral Changarnier, who, the other day, wanted to censure President Thiers for having failed to ‘censure Gambetta. The Exireme Right is com- . posed of men whose party title of Bourbons has ‘hecome the soubriquet for sll that is extrava~ gantly obstinate -and uancompromising in the world. They are the true Legitimists, still swearing sllegiance to the elder branch of the Bourbon family, represented by Comte de Chambord, who signs himself Henry V., as his partisang call him. If there conld bé s square division of the French Assembly into Right and Left, the latter (Republicans) would have a large majority over the former (Monarchists), in the proportionof 870to 280. There isno prospect of this, however, as there aro almost as many differences between the Extreme Left and Left Centre as there are between the formerand the Extreme Right. Itis also probable that miany of the Imperialists are now acting with the Bepublican Left, in their fiercer opposition to the re-establishment of Monarchy. The rock upon which the French Assembly is most likely to split into two pieces is not the proclamation of o Republic nor that of & Monarchy, nor the resignation of Thiers, but upon the move- ment to limit the right of suffrage in France, which first declared itself openly, and is now féeling its way by an effort to deprive the sol- diers of the ballot. This wonld practically dis- franchige all Frenchmen up to the age of 25 years. - No ono will be surprised at the constantly threatened crisis in France who will stop a moment to consider the inevitable jumble that must follow a division of the National Legisla- ture into six factions. Suppose the Senate and House of our owa Congress were mergedinto one body, with Nye and Pomeroy representing the wit and sentiment of one faction; Morton and Brownlow, the force and religion of another ; Schurz and Trumball, the philosophy and law of & third; Batler and Binghem, the beauty and brilliancy of & fourth; Cox and J. Proctor Knotit, the pith and pungency of a fifth; and Blaine and Dawes, the conservatism and statistics of a sixth,—with Intermediate doc- trinaires and partisans.—what would become of the great questions of public policy? Fortu- nately, or unfortunately, the organization of our Congress is rendered essentially practical, and thero is always something to crystalize it into direct partissnship and opposition. If the French Assembly had been of a like nature, how- ever, it is quite possible that President Thiers would have been saved the trouble of resigning before this; as it s, there is no danger that any of the diverse elements-can be concentrated into majority against him. The only direct divis- ions that se2m to be poseible in France are the Government against the Pcople, or the Army against the Assembly. —_— e DUBUQUE. § A large party of excursionists fcom our sister city, Dubuque, will arrive here, this morning, to | pass the day with us, the event in celebration of the newly-opened rosd to Clinton. We rajoice with them in the new connection. In 1837, Chi~ eago get ont to reach Galena and Dubugue, and made 2 spirited attempt in that direction, and, ten years ago, the posts set by E. K. Hubbard and his associates, who essayed to build the road on the top of these posts, had not all disap- peared from the West Division. The Galena line, built ten years later, was known among younger corporations as the Old Galena, but was always a omisnomer, for it only ran to Freeport, intersecting the Tlinois Central at that point. Dubuque is a live and besutiful city, and the best proof i that tho building improvements of the past sea~ son aggregate over'$1,000,000. Dubuque long ago became disentisfied with the railroad maps, and set at work to mond them. She has done g0 with magnificent pluck, and a capital that hag astonished her neighbors. Somse of our West- ern communities have run railroad buildinginto the ground, but Dubuque is not to be seared in that way, for that is, after all, her way of doing it. She sirikes a new lead mine and gets a fresh start, She has sent new life. through Northern Towa, and shown the interiorcounties thata few earnest men in a city like Dubuque need have no narrow bounds to their enterprise.
