Wit regard to our criminal laws, he s0id that if mob Iaw was to Le provented, these should bo made * dofinite and executed with cer- tainty. He advised the Legislattro to forbid a change of venue in any criminal case, and to ex- tend the qualifications of jurors go that pergons who have reed the newspapers, or formed opinions about the case, need not be excluded from jury duty if they are willing to decido ac- cording to the ovidenca. The Judiciary Committeo of the House hes been instructed to' inguire into. the coaduct of Judgo Darell, and to repart articles of impeach~ ment against him if they think them called for.

The relativo value of nowspapers ahd books in pared to tha relative cost of eatls,"has recently baen deronstrated. by s wriler in £16 Kansas Magazine, who measired a copyof the New York Herald,snd acopy of Mark Twain's new book. “Thio former wes found to contain about 960,000 * ems,” while tho latter, a book of 591 pages, measurel only 836,000 “ems." In oflior words, the single copy of the nowspaper, which s0ld at fourceats, as equiya- lent to n book of 680 pages, or 89 more pages than vers conitained in a volumo- thit sold for $3.50. Tho valuo, received for four conts wag the current day's history of ths world, with nows from 21l quarters of the globe, information on all conceivable éubjects, and the varied enterfain- mentto boderived fromthe tragedies, comedios, and mysteries “ of a lifa in which trath hes been .admitted. to Le stranger than fiction. Tiis interesting comperison does not indicate that books must .give. way to newspa- pers. * They still havo their apecial flelds of in- terest and usefalness. _ But it does prove that books must bo furnished at chesper rates, and must eventually be Jimited to fields of intelli- gence; devélopment, culture, and entertsinment, 'in which greater care of proparation and & mora deliberate application of eminent ability may bo concentrated. The more general acceesibility of &00d newenavers in Americs than in Enrope is ono of the reasons why booka are cheapar smong us thanin England or France. * It is a misteke to suppote that tho reading of newspapers will evor supplant tho reading of books; but tho in- creass and improvement of these cheap chan- nels of information and amusement are creating & demand for bolter books at cheaper | rices, Since the St. Loais Democral has entered the list of funny newspapers, it is difficult to tell when it is taking & serious, and when a humor~ ous, view of life. - Wo presume that the follow- ing was intended to bo accepted literally : When the Domocrats and Liberals of linols tea- derod the nomination for Governor to Mr. Trumbull ot Springficld, last summer, Lo 8a{d (0 thelr Joint Cotn—r mitfeo: “No, gentlenen; I want to go back to tho fcn- sto to confront those miserable apologists of Grant's— Morton, Conkling, Cameron; I dow't think any one of them will bo ro-elected, but if they are, T want to bo there toface them nnd fight them.” "Wel, the time for re-clection Liag rolled round, and Trumbull i3 the only ‘man of the lot who 13 not sent back to his seat. Conk- Ling, Morton, and Czmeron are unanimously renom- inated by their party friends, but Trumbull has not even the cmpty honor of & complimentary vote. If this is & sample of the Democral's seriou stylo, we would rdviso it to atick to the humor- ous. What Sonator Trumbull said at Springfield, on tho oceasion roferred to, was to this offect: That be did not wish to bo Governor of Iliiuois in eny caso; and that, if the Sennto was to bo dominated in the future by the ssme clique and in the samo spirit as then, he did not want to go back to that body. IHe added that, if thore was to be a change in tho Administration and a new ordor of things, he wonld return to his seat in the Sonato if the peoplo of Tilinois desived; otherwise, not. Those who know Afr. Trumbull need not bo told that he could never have uttered the nonsense which the Democra ascriles to him. . Tho Chicago Journal has beou asking us for some time, inan imbocile way, to tell what we think about the late Senator Grimes' connection with Credit Mobilier. Well, we think that it would have beon better if Senator Grimes had not bought any stock in that concorn, although. it sppears from tho testimony that ho ‘was bronght into it as n capitalist, and not as o Con- gressman, o long time beforo auy shores were set apart to bo placed “where they would do most good to na.” It sppoars, further, that Mr. Grimes put his money into the concern boldly, and had tho stock transferred to himself openly. There were no shares held in trust for him by a third parly. Howas ono of the original holdars, and ho stands in that rospect on the, same foot- ing with Amea and Alley, except ‘that he was never engaged in attempting to bribe his fellow- membors. At the same time, we think that it would have been better if ho had invested his money in something else, because the ownership -of such stock wes lisble to cloud the judgment of the legislator. Wo beliove thab Mr. Grimes alyays refused to vote upon metters relating to .the Pacific Reilweys after hobecame an owner of Credit Mobilier shsres. While this was gredit- sblo to himsell, it involved the necessity of do- priving tho Stato of Towa of & moicty of her proper influence in such legislation. Mr. Brooks’ son-in-law tells the Credit Mo- bilicr Committes that Mr. Brooks sdvanced the monoy with which he bought 100 of the 150 sharea that etand in his name. All the divi- dends were his. In his pregnant phrase, he “got the money;"” Brooks “did the busi- ness.” Thero wero many things thia witness cannot remember. He forgets who signed for the certrficates, who farnished them, how he himself came in pozession of thom, when the dividonds wore paid or by whom. Ho made his® second purchase of 50 shares on Brooks' sug- geadion, but with money obtained from Bid- ney Dillon, All tho stock and dividonds be~ longed to himself, none to Brooks,—nnd he repaid the sdvances made” by Dillon and Brooks with sghares of Pacific Railroad stock obtainod as Credit Mfobilier-dividends, At tho close of his son-in-law's examication; Mr. Brooks asked. that records from tho War De= partment and certain persons be brought be- fore tho Committes, in ordor that he might show M'Comb to be & masn not to be bo- lievod under oath, and of bad charactor’ gon- erally. 3'Comb expressed a oheerful alacrity to add to Mr. Brooks' list of witnoases as to his’ character, and suid that' bo would call on his | own behalf on' the business men of Now York, Boston, aud Baltimore, with whom he had done’’ business for twenty years. —— . THE CANADIAN CAWALS, Governor Carpenter, of Iows, in arocent ad- drosa befora tho. Agricultural Socicty of tliat State, discussed the question of the cost of transportation in a vory elaborate manner. The points mads by Lim may bo thus briofly stated : The grest ehadow which reats upon the prop- orty of tho West is this cost of exchanging com- moditics ; 4nd this is thie skeloton which is tobe found in every fariier's corn erib, On the 8d of Jannary, 1873, the prico of corn at Dealloines was 16 cents’ per,bushel; at Chicago 81 cents, and at New York 67 cents: Tho differences in these prices marked the cost of {ransportation betwoen these places. " The remediea for this condition of things woro. varied, and among’ these he men> tioned tho policy of condensing the corn crop. ivto’ 1éss - bulky forms, us con. verting it into. pork, beef, or _‘iool. Another mosus of : treating this skelotor was to « +havo n groater diversity of crops ; instead of do- pending upon corn year ‘after yesr, to have as ‘largo varioty of productions &3 poasible. .. There should Be somio stock raisod, £6ma of each of the. ' corenls, and somo sitention given to butter, cliceso, fruits, and vegetabled. Ho thinks it would bo an'advantage, alio, to havemore of tho labor -of the State -applicd to manufastures.. | Nevertheleas, the necessity for cheaper trans- | portation must bomet. As promising schomes to socure this end, be mentionoed the Wisconsin & Fox River Canal and the . Lake Huron & On- tario Canal;.2nd, as an nusiliary, the constrac- tion of narrow gauge reilways, connecting with the trunk lices. © As & farther mensure, be suggested - State ‘legislstion * to" ‘con- trol reilfoad ‘tariffa and piovent 'diserimi- nations. " Failing all these, he ;advocated national, legislation for the construction of -na- tional railrosds freo to everybody to run traing on them. To secure any of theso measores will . require time, and, in tho intetval, he urged that the - truo policy of - railrosd managers was to re- duco their charges to the lowest rates? they are deeply interested -in the prosperity of tho pro- ducers on their linos, and they can make more money out of the business of » rich &nd prosper- ous people than they can by keeping thie Intter at starvation point. pratbll Boat o i The' present gorge and glut of Westorn pro- ducts is susceptible:of easy esplanation: .So long 25 the milways cannot, even.if. willing, transport one bishél i four of onr surpias pro- ducts, 50 long will they demand for moving the ono bushel as much asshould be ssked for moving the foar. To find cheap transvortation ‘wo must have adeqnate transportation fac es. The lzkes furnish every facility to move the surplos product of the West, but the navigation of the lakos terminates at Niagara. The natural outlet is by the St. Lawrence, but it requires ar- tificial aids to render the Bt. Lawrenco available, Twenty-five years ago the Canadian Government constructed the Welland Canal around the Falls of Niagors, and a series of cahals around the raDidsof the St. Lawrence River. The Wollaud Canal, however adequate when built, is now too emall to allow the passage of the larger classes of vessels and steamers which are demanded for tho lake commerce. The canala at the mpids. of the Bt Lawrence mre: The Lachine Canal, 814 milos long; the Beau-~ harnois Canal st Cascades and Codar Rapids, 113¢ miles;’ Cornwell Cangl st Long Ssult, 14 miles; the, Iroquols .Canal, at the Galops, 75 miles, end two_small canals, which, together,” are 43¢ miles long. The whole length of . &ll the canals ia 43% miles, with 207 feot of lockage. The navigation of the St Lawrence, down stream, is perforimed without the ‘uie of- the canels; the lattar are employed only in sscend- ing tho stream, These canals, small 2s they aro, do an immonss businces; in 1869, 12,349 veasels passed through the Iower camals; and duricg tho same time tho tonnigs passing throngh the Welland Canal was more than double that passing through the 8t. Lawreuco canals. Those canalg, like the Wellind Canal, aro now too small to admit the passagoe of the larger craft, and, for that reagon, fail to furnish that adequate means of navigation which is do- Annual Report . of the.
