Cuptain Jack, the Modoc Chief, after having been shiolled by the United Statos troops, has beon shiot and wounded in the arm by some of his own people dissatisflod with hjs want of vigor in the conduct of the war. 1o has made up his mind that poaco i3 much better than warring between two guch firos, and, at his in- vitation, two officors have gone tohold & big talk withhim. Thd inofcient conduct of the prosoccution in tho Tweed ease Liag resulted ua badly as was ox- peeted. Tho jury have disagreed. They stood 11 forucquittal und 1 for couviction, and noth- ing Lt the unbonding rosolution of tho one ob- stinato juryman hes saved Now York from the disgrace of nequilting the Boss thiof. As it is, tho result in disheartening in every point of Fiow. o An Iuvestigating Committeo of the Now Yorlk Tegialature roports that, In tho construction of tie Harlom Court House, frauds were commit- ted nearly equal to thoge in the Court House in Tew York, 'Pheir rccommendation that some action bo taken to punish thess concerncd in thom i3 good, but cannot bo called woll-timed, ahen worecall the fact thet these frauds wore cxposed nearly a year ago by 1ho newspapors of New York, A deepatel from Californin states that some of the promineut citizens of Yroka are talking of having o conforenco with the Modoo Indisne, aud meking Captain Jack overtures of peace, It woull be more ereditable to tho courage of the “rokana if thoy woilld take their rifles and go on 2 grand Modee hunt, and not give it up until Loptain Fack and his twohundred savages olther swrronder or are killed, That is tho only over- turo that should be mado to ihe Modoes, Any oilior ovorture is simply tho result of fear. ey —— 1 wea the Bpanish stowaer Murillo, a8 was ¢nrmised from tho flrat, that psp down the TorthBoot in the Enplish Channel, tho othey day, hio wau not damaged in tho Joast Dy the collis- jou, and lus arrived ot Cndiz in perfect condis tion.

Du- luth and tho Northorn Pacifie have succumbed to tho inovitable; tho dyke is to be removed; tho canal is to be closed up; tho railrond is to Do oxtondod to Buporior; and tho rocks and cliffa of Duluth are to bo left to their solitary grandour forover more. It would not bo very astounding, however, if tho Northern DPacific should finglly concludo that noither Duluth nor Buporior waa the proper lake torminus of tho rond, and extend its way to Bayfleld. *Tho (irand Dulo Nicholas, of Russis, who has loft 8t.

Ho showed how the eloction of tho Board of Directora had boen controlled by fictitious subscriptions and legal maneuvres, under the dircction of General Butler, snd tbraw additional light upon some of Oakes Ames’ contracts.” Ho snid that Gonoral Dodge, tho Engincor- in-Chief of the Union Daciflc Railroad, was & mombor of Congreas, and spont his timo in Washington, where it was nseorted ho could do more good than olsowhero. Ho recoived a salary of $10,000 o year, and hia wifo held 100 ghares of tho Credit Mobilier stock. Alley took tho stand, and mot Mr. Durant’s statoments by tho somewhat familiar romark that the ery of “gtop thief" was raised by thicves thomselves. The criticierh on Preaidont Grant’s motion in pardoning Brown, the Philadelphia repoater, is vory'gencral and sovoro, without roferonco to partys Tho prools of tromendous frauds in Philadelphis at tho last Stata olection hnva beon yufiiciontly confirmed by tho ncknowledgmont of tho Ropublican press of their Laving been perpotrated. To put down tho corruption which has bocome o general in clections every- whore ia the leading Teform of tho day, tho mo- coastly for which is recognized at onco by Con- grosy aud the people. A pardon issued by tho Chief Exocutivo to a convicted ropoeator, in the faco of gl this, can bo rogardod iu no other light then s sorlous mintuko, tho pornicions cffcots of which are hoightoned by the domand for tho punishment of those who have beon found guilly of election frauds. Y Senator Nyo maintaina hiu place ag thehnmor- ist of tho S8enate, Yosterday ko called up the bill to give asubsidy to tho Wobb ling of Austra- linn steamers, and spoke In support of it, Hia chiof srgument for itwas, that cortaln Britlehors wore at worlg against it, Mr. Morrill, of Maino, waa about as folicifous ju his advocacy of tho moasure, Tho lino deserved encourngoment beeause it was an Amorican lino, By cnoour- agomont ho monns subsidics, and subsidios aro tho product of taxes. No doubt, tnxes aro oncouraging to thoso who rocoiva them in that ghape, but tho offeot is quito different ou theso who pay them. No ono could object to ohcour- aging American ship-owners by iiny smount of spch disguised taxation, wore it not that it dis- courages all the rost of American industry to tho smo oxtont. A bill is pending beforo Congress to chnrtor o company to construct a tunue] yndor tho Ohio apd Mississippi Rivors, at tholr junction, to admit of through railrond communication. Theso rivors, at that point, do not admit bridg- ing, and tunnels are possibly fhe only perma- nont meana of secwring continuous railrond traneportation, Weo suppozo tho feasibility of constructing the tunnels has beon detormined by notual survey, and if this bo tho case, then, ovontually, wo may expect o tunuel under tho Misnissippi from Tllinofs to Missouri, and ono under the Oliio River to Kentueky. This would conneoct tho two Southorn railroad systoms with that of Illinote, Tt would opon tho Soulhwost routes from Illinojs to Arkausas and Toxas, and tha Southeastern routes to 'enuessco, Missis- sippl, Goorgia, Alabama, Tlorida, und T.ouisiang. Through trafns cou)d then pass without doton- tion, and without broaking bulk, or the slow and costly procooding of transfer by bonts, Tho caso of Br.

Tho fact is, probably, that Stowart Topt thio most of the money himself ; but his vo- hement protestalions of fldelity, and his solf- gought martyrdom, sro nothing but advortlse- meats o overybody having monoy to expond for loglelation—** toro I pm ; you can ontrust your business to me I will endare imppjeonment, torture, and oven doath iteplf, bofore I will di- vulge,” Tho dactrino of the profosslonal confi- dence of lawyers hns never oxtended (o casea whero tho lawyer was omployed to induco men to erimo. It is not likely, howovor, that Stownrt will ever disclose the facl Professor Tyndall has made good his promise to give tho procoedu of his Amorican Jooturos to Amorlcan institutions, and thoe patronege which s loctures found has rendered his donation one of groat magusnimity, It was natural and propor that he should have dovoted tlo pulk of ki donation to tho vromotion of relonce, and wo doubt whother ho could have provided a bottor goneral charity than by placing $16,000 in tho hands of n Committeo for tho support of two young men ntudying with & vlow to tho pursuit of scionce nsa profossion.’ T'ho §16,000 thus becomes o pormanent scholar- ship, which may oventually bo productivoof much gronter practieal good to mankind than would its presont uso in the way of holping the ncedy or unfortunato. In donating, attho same timo, tho sum of $1,600 to tho Young Mon’s Chirlstinn Ausocintion of Washington, Professor Tyndall hos successfully flankod cortaln classos of re- ligionists, who havo taken advantage of miscon- structions of hig prayor-gaugo to arraign him for athelsm and all high crimes agalust orthodoxy. It in to bo hoped that the ono fund will produce a8 much good for maukind as the other, S Tho Chicago produce markots woro quict yos- torday, with an casior fooling in grain. Provis- {ons wore very quict and stendy, at $12.00 por brl for moss pork; $12.80@12.35 for do sollor March; 27.90@7.83}4 per 100 Ibs for lard; §7.66@7.672¢ for do smoller March; 84@4o for shouldéys; 6)(@0o for short ribs; Glfo for glort closr; and 73¢e por Ib for 17-1b groen bama, Drossed hogs wore in good domand, and steady, at $4.60@4.05 por 100 Ibs for hoavy, and §b.00@5.05 for light lots. Highwines wore dull and nominal at 874@88c per gallon, Flour was +in good domand and firmer. Whont was loss activo, and Yo lower, closing at $1,25%¢ cash, and $1.283¢ sollor March. Corn wag rather moro activo and 3{clower, closing at 80Jgo cash or oller Fobruary, and 813¢c sellor March, _Oata woro quiot and steady, at 206}4@255c cash or sellor Fobruary, and 20} @203¢c sollor March, Ryo was quict and steady ol 68c. Barloy was dull and wosk, declining e, and olosed at 760 for No. 2, and 63c for No. 3. Livoe hLogas wero agnin in sctive demand, but pricos wore loss firm, closing about o lower than yostorday. Balos woro ot §3.80@4.25. Tho cattlo market was fairly nctive and steady. Sbeop wers in large supply and lower. Tho Intest stago of tho Dhelps, Dodge & Co cago is the withdrawal of the offer of that firm to compromise. It Is 0sid that they demandod o cortifieato that no intontional fraud was com- mittod, It rcoms to bo concoded that false in- voices wero need in nacortaining tho rates of dn- ty on the metala imported by that house, and that Mr. Willinm E. Dodge, tho senior member of tho firm, was not in sny way cognizant of tho frauds. Tho frauds, if any, woro committed by the Junior partnors or othor persons connoctod with or employed by eithor tho Now York or Liver- pool houses bolonging to the same gontlemon. All tho membersof both houscs aro mem- bers of the samo family, brothors-in-law, uncles, nephows, &¢. Undor theso cireumatances, tho domand of a gonoral acquittal of the whole family is easily undorstood. Mr. Dodge, how- ovor, can casily find out whether any fraud was committed; ho can also ascortain from his books the prociso amount of monoy loat by tho Govern- ment, and this sum, grest or small, he ghould pay over to the Tressury withous waiting to bo sued for it. As to the questfon of guilty knowl- edgo of tho false invoices, ho can as roadily lo- cato that whero it properly belongs, and by placing that guilt upon tho only persons propor- 1y responsible, ho can acquit all tho othor mem- bera of the firm, and leavo only those srho have sbused Lis confldenco and botrayed tholr trust to bear th . odinm of tho transaction. It i worlhy of noto that the Judiciary Com- mittco's report on tho distribution of the Alabama Indemnity fund farnishes o basis of all proceedings in tho principle that the total award lins been made to tho United States, and that it is the privilege of the United Biates to divide it according to its own ideas of justico. The prin- ciplo is undoubtedly correct. Itis tho only ono upon which the award could evor have been so- curod from Groat Britain, Italonecanprotecttho Governmont from the annoyance and oxponse of countless lawauits that would otherwiso fol- Iow the dissatisfaction which it will be impos- giblo to provent in the distribution of so large an amount of money. Another notable feature is tho caroful purpose of avoiding all handling of thoso mouneys by a Commission. Liobby influonco is horo diractly rocognized, and it is tho ovidont intontion of the Congressional Committeo to forostall it by throwing all the claims into the rogular United Btates Courts. The basis of sot- tlemont is dofined as follows: Firat, the cases of thase who lost vossels and cargoes uninsured; seeond, nctusl losson of officors and crows, in property uninsurod or partially insured, in wages actually carned, and losses Incurred by boing lofl advift or landod in somo foreign port; third, the lossow of tho Uniled States in vesdbls nud car- goos, which ara trifling, Asido from theso, it is provided that tho extra war promiums paid by morchants shall be noxé onsidered, and that insureys ean only recover any difforence jn thojr losses over the gains which thoy mado by war promiums, THE CITY GOVERNMENT, Tho Muayor has had offers of the moat yilim- itod support from citizens of all parties, trades, and professions, Elould necossity requiro it, ho will have the co-operation of the Governor of {lio State with all the military aid ho may neod. Indopendent of tho duty of maintaining law gud suthority, theve {8 a gouorel feeling of reliof that 110 hina exorcised tho power of Fdding tho City Govornment of tho standing reproach of a Board of Pollee Commissionors under whom alargo part of tho forco has hogomo demoralized, in- gubordinate, Irzy, and worlhless, When thoy boldly daclaréd thofr purposs to prohibit sl roforms, snd to gel rid of tho Chief who fnsigted upon mgccuun;; tho law, tho Mayor had no alteruative byt to purronder the city to tho control of tho gamblera und their nssociatos, or romove thoso of the Commission« ors to whom hia authority extonded, It hasboon undorstood by tho contumacious Pollce Commissioners that thoy would hizya tho poounisry and moral support ot the /¢ Personal Liberty Loague,” but that Lesguo itself has ke~ como domoralized, As originally organized, it included o Inxge number of porsons ongaged in thoe manufacturs and wholesalo liquo {rade, who had no sympathy for or interost In rlotons or illegnl opposition to the law, Theso mon favored such logislation ag would clogo upall tho whis- koy dons end Infumous placos whoro orime {8 fostored and youth ‘and de- conoy corrupted. Thoy sought, by logal menns, Lo oleyate the trade. Put the * Parsonal Liberty Loaguo " has changod hands, eud it 1 now menaged by that portion of the saloon- koopers who instat on keeplng tho saloona opon on Sundsy, and that is now the primel object of tho Lerguo. In this tho power and influonco of tho organization iy divided aud weakened, and whou it adopts ns its furthor objeot tho sup- port of tho Polico Commlssioners i their usurp- atlon of oflico nfter boing romovod, It opposos itsolf to tho moral sonse of the entiro com- munity, s Yontorday morning, Captaln French, of the Wost Sido polleo, rocognized tho authorily of tho Mayor and Suporintondont Washburn, Cap- taln Iickoy, of tho South Ride, and Captain Frod. Gund, of the North Bido, rofusod to doso, and wero promptly romoved by tho Mayor, and succossora woro appointed. Tho Borgeants and patrolmon linvo now to docide which of thoso Captaing thoy will oboy. Any attompt at dlsor- dor orrebellion by theao offlcors must, of courso, bo mot flrmly. and must bo supprossod. ‘Thero can bo no two sides of this question at thistime, Thelaw is supromo, and its oflicors must bo sustained. There must bo law, and thero must bo authority to enforce it, and thero must bo obedienco to that authority. HOW WE ABE TAXED. Tho striking difforonce botweon » systom of taxation for purposos of rovonue aud a system of taxation for prolootion is furnished by n com- parison of tho last yost's importation and rove- nuo of Groat Dritain and tho Unitod Statos, Tho valuo in gold of thio imports and oxporta of morchandigo of tho two countries for tho yonr woro a8 followa: Imports, - Eeportn Qreat Dritain, +.$1,760,878,700 $1,279,808,045 United Blatos. .. \+ 020,605,077 444,010,086 Tho British Governmont confines its tax on imports to about fifteon articlés, mainly things not produced in Great Britaln, and the rate of tox nipon thoso is small. It collected from those in 1872 an aggrogato rovento of $888,850,000, or 22 por cont of thelr valuo, Tho United States, in tho yeor onding June, 1872, collected on the imports into this country 216,370,287, or o fraction ovor 84 por cont. Tho groatest difforence, howevar, in the tax is in tho way it is lovied. In England, no tax is lovied on any imported article which bas s do- mostio compotition. Great Dritain producos wool, flax, iron, tin, and conl; she manufactures iron and stool, and cotton, linen, and woollon goods. All theso things are admitted freo of tax into Great Britain, and, consequently, any per- son in that Kingdom may purchase nny of theso thinga in any forolgn country, and bring thom into England free of tax. Tho result is, that tho prico of iron, steel, and tho msnufactures thoreof, as woll a8 of all other msnufactures entoring Into domestio consumption sud making up tho cost of living in Groat Britain, is rogu- lated and kept down by tho prices at which like narticlos brought from other countriecs moay bo sold at. The very opposite.1s the case in this country. Our rato of tax on these various articles ranges from 20 to 160 per cont; consoquently, tha prices of ail American manufactures is the prico at which they can be bought in other countrioes, with tho tax ndded. This tax oporates to exclude many millions of dollars’ worth of articles wo would otherwiso import, but woe pay the tax on thoe domostic-mado nrticlo all the same—tho tax, howaver, not going to the Treasury, but to the person who j@ thus specially pensioned by law, In England, tho people pay o tax of 21 per cont on all their imports, and nothing on thewr domestic manufactures; in this country, wo pay 84 por cont on the imported article, and 08 much moro on double or troblo tho quantity of tho domostio manufactures. In England, tho tax is completo when paid, and all goes to tho Treasury; in tho United Btatos, tho tax is rami- fled and continued, from the pig iron asit comea from the furnnce, throughall its various forms, uatil it passos into the hands of tho consumer. Not more than ane-half, and possibly not over oue-third, of tho tax the pooplo of this country pay, under tho tariff, is psid into the Treasury. The rest iy distributed as dividends among iron and conl and other manufacturing companies, Qrost Britain, by admitting frao all tho raw matorials, including iron and coal, and bread- stuffs and provisions, onables her manufac- turors to produce thoir goods, and sell them in all parts of tho world. Wo tax all tho raw ma- torials, and thoreby oxclude our manufacturors from selling their goods olsowhere, Our ox- ports aro mainly cotton, broadstuffs, provisions, and gold. If our manufacturers bad thoir raw matorial free, a8 havo thoze of England, thoy could increaso thoir oxports and compete with foroign manufacturars, ond our people would bo relioved of that fenrful tax, which, producing no rovenue, is consuming thoir substance, and xngdurlxxg thom poorer day aftor day. YTHE HONESTEIT MAN IN THE HOUSE. A friond of Oakes Ames rocently said to him: “Supposing thoy should oxpel you, Mr, Ames ?" Txpel mo, sir! Expel mol” oxclaimed tho great shovel-makor; #what do you mean, sir? Expel tho honestost man in the Houso! Pshaw! they won't do it; no, eir!" Oakes Amos' goneral ostimato of tho Congrossional conscionce, and his sontentious statomont of his*own position are not without a vory strong foundation, When ‘tho Orodit Mobilior scandal was first launchod, Oskes Amos was tho scapo-goat for the whole corrupt burden of (Jx)ngrmasiom\1 tropsgrossion, The whole forremt of public indignation and denunciation foll upon him. 'Fhe positivo donials of Congross- mon who wore implicated and the groat pros- suro of & pondivg Prosidential campaiga added to tho burdon of abuse which was heaped upon him, But tho scandal of COrodit Mobilier did not porish with tho closo of the political campaign. It was nol indeod until that campoign was endod that thoveil was lifted sufciontly for tho public to sco and comprohioud what bed boon going on in that ring ineido the Uniow’ Paoifie, known as tho Orodit Mobilior. Littlo by liitle, how- as tho Congressionsl sido of tho scalo hma gono down, tho Onkes Ames glde has gone up, and, to-dsy, Oakes Ames occuples » placo in herolo sensation. allsm which would satisfy the most astuto ad- vonturor, Thoe resl gravamen of Oakes Amos offonco {8 not lessoned in auy way, Ho ig atjll tho groat Congressionnl corrupter ; but his of- fonoa doos not rotain that olenrncss of outline which it had orighmlly, and Dbeforo it was bronght Into controst with the offonces of othors. The publjc intorest which o fow months ago was concontrated upan Mr. Onkos Ames is now divided among soveral others, In fagt, tho numerous gonsie)lations which nre constantly appoariug in this galaxy hogin to grow bo- wildoring. If the Investigation lastg much longor and Oskos Amos’ memory’ continues to improyp ps rapidly as it has dono during the past fow days, it wjll roquire tho optical eu- dowments of Argus to olearly take in what is constantly appearing in tho fleld of vision. The developmonts soom to havo astounded oven the groat Devoloper himsolf, It is only a fow days ngo that ho exprossed tho utmost sur- prise at one of his friends, who spoke of con- selonco among mombors of Cougress, and oagorly inquired for its whereabouts, In this roupoot thora s danger that Oskos Amos may over, oven como to beliove that lio hins o consoionco, and that ho is an loneat man, if the investiga- tion fs puskied much farther.

The Mayor’s position had beon strengthened by the moral aupport Lo had received throughout tho dey. He had everything in rosdiness for the noxt decisivo move. He had marshalod a mighty host of statutory supporters, had made official connections at Springficld by moaus of tho wires, aud all that remained to be dono was to umove agminst the muti- nous Captaing. Tho citizons had watched the fight with increasing interest. They realized the fact that the struggle was s bitter one, and tho issuos immensely importaul, They saw that the struggle was one of petty politicians, but a square fight between law, order, decency, and official purity on one side, and a most des- porate cliquo of officoholdors, backed by the worat portion of tho community, gamblers, pot- | house politicians, and the others who atand in &we of polico oficiency, on the othor. Thua the progresa of tho strugglo was watchod with vivid interost, which manifosted itself by the crowds of respoctablo gentlemen who thronged the City Hall st a comparatively oarly hour. THE TUREE OAPTAINS, ench looking unusually determined, arrived at Police Headquarters, and, falling to Znd eithor Dr. Ward or Suporinteudent Washburn, reported to tho goneral utility man, who combines in his abbroviated porson all the concoivable functions of the Police Dopartment, covering this mass of responsibility with tlo sspiring patronymic, Princo, Thoy walked round at Police Head- qunrters for some timo, until tho hands of tho clock were in tho vicinity of the hour namod by tho Mayor. Thoy then filed quietly away to the rear of the polico quartors, and reachod tho Mayor's officc by tho back staircase. By this meana they oluded the eagor crowd of clean and dirty quid nuncs who kad beon button-holing thom end asking their intontions, and found themeelvos outside the door of the Mayor's offico amid & crowd of reporters.
