Thursday Morning, February 6, 1873, The report comes, by way of London, that the cholera haa again broken out in Russin and in Hungary, aud in a virulent form. e s Rabert Bowles, of the flem of Bowles Brothers, American bankers in Europe, was tried in Lon- don, yesterdsy, for the frandulent conversion®of securitios deposited with tho firm, and was ac- quitted, The Benate Committes to examine Into tho zction of ite membera in the Credit Mobilier mat- ter consiats of Mossra, Morrill, of Maiuo, Scott, of-Pennsylvania, Wright, of Tows, Stockton, of Now Jaruoy, and Stavanaon, of Kentucky. Tho Sonate Committee on the Caldwoll case gro divided ; Mr. Morton representing the major- ity, which ls adverse to Caldwel), und Mr. Car- ponter the minority, which opposos his expul- slon, Tho Spanish steasmor Murillo is undor deton- tion at Cadiz, and her officors and crew aro hold in arrest upon the charge of bhaving run down tbo omigrant ship Nortbfleet, in the Knglish Channel. They deny all knowledge of the col- lision. Ar. Sherman's bill provlding for s return to £pecio paymonts on the 1stof January, 1874, was yesterday, after another long debate, laid on the table, which is equivalent to = dofeat, by a vole ot 99 to 27. That, posaibly, is an ond to the sub- ject for tho prosont seasion In the Seuste, the Judiciary Committes re- poried adversely upon the bill to refund the State of Hlmols the 2 por cent fund resorved by zhe United States upon the laud sules of Ilinois. A winority report favoring the Lill was also mede, aud both reports weie ordered to Le printed, g The case of Raferty, for the murdor of Tolice- man O'Meara in August Jast, was given to the jury at Waukegan yostorday, at 6:00 o'clock p. m. After some time the jury returned with a ver- dict of gilty, fixing the ponalty desth by hang- dog. A mation for & new trial was made, and will be argued and probably ovorruled this morning. The Mayor, last night, ju a epecial communi- cation, withdrew the pamos of Messrs. Holden and Herting, previously nominated as Polico Commissioners, those gentlemen hsying de- clined, and nominated Mr. Curlile Mason aud AMr, Levi P, Wright. The nominations wers reforrod to the Committeo on Polico, with in- erructions to report at the regular mesting next Monduy night, The opposition st Sprivgfleld to the Tov- ernor's nominations of Railrond and Warehouso Commissiouors {s nothiug more thau an exhibi- fion of the rago of office-sockors. The eamo men are demanding the romoval of the Peniten- tiary Commissioners, to make room for somo of tke disappointed. We trust the Executive will etand fitTa fn his purpose to act justly, and thosa politically opposod to the Governor should sustein him, Gavernor Boveridge has refused to ohange {he punisluaeut of McNulty, uuder sonteucs of denth for tho murder of hils wifo at Peoria, and that poraon will ba hanged on TFriday, The Governor has also refused to pardon one Cos- tollo, convicted of waunslanghtor. Governor Dix, of New York, baa refused to interfere in tlio case of & convicted murdorer at Buffalo, and the latter will be banged on Friday. If the Governora of tho several Btates will refuse to futerfere with the verdiota of juries, murders will lu (lme get to be less faskionable. Tio Judiclary Committen of the Houee of Fepreseutatives have heard all the evidence wgalnst Judge Mark Deluhay, United Stated ‘Diatrict Judge of Kanaas, and forbear reporting rilglod of impoachment againet him, hoplug ho resign, It would seom a little mwkward for Ar.

We aronot surd but that thisia the propor Hght in whioh to view the matter. Itls n good principle to ostablish that a Prosidont has boen choson on necount of hia own merits, or thoe confldence whicli the poople have In his in- togrity and abiliby, and not because ho i the liead of any party or any cliue of politicians. The dotalls of the I New York tragedy, in which a man first cut his mistross’ throat and then his awn, are certaiuly more revolting than thoso of any recent murder, Yot thero aro re- deoming fontures about it. When a man has de- tormined to commit murdor, 1t would be a publio blessing if ho should at the same time con- clude to kil bimsolf. It would savo great, public aunoysnco =and ©Xpouse. It would render murder trials, Ignorant juries, and uncertain vordicts altogother superfluous, It would bo the surest mennor to demonstrate the principle of emotional inssnity, and this priveiplo might then bo admitted with- out detrimont to tho ends of juatico.

Labor- ing uuder tha deprossion caused by the daily disclosures st Washington, he eutered the Sen- ate, o faw days ago, and prayed as follow : Look in compassion on us i all tho viclasitudes of 1ife ; amid the burdeus of oftlce, smid the sorrows that sitend us through our jrobationary state. 1lave compassion upon our uatiou, for we have fallen upon evil times, aud the very foundations of soclety seetn to bo wnoved beneath our feet, Great God, su promo und everlasting, to Thee wo look for calness of spliit, tnd . stendiness of purpoce, and faith one in anothor, May wo bive faltl in bhumauity, aits ulti-, mate progross, aud i the ultimate trfumph of Jesuy Obrist ovor ovll, wiorul aud uatural, Tho Chaplain is right. The Poland Commit- tee, the Wilson Commiitee, and the Morton Committee have been for soveral weeks moving the founzatious of that society which has made corruption aud fraud its aim and purpose.

The cattle trade was dull at 25@350c decline. Bhesp were more active and firmor. The proposed rejoction of tho Governor's nominations for Railroad and Warehonso Com- missionera strikes us as scaudulous and alto- getlier henenth the dignity of the Senate of Elli- nols.

Tho law re- quires that they shall make oath that they aro mot interasted in railroads or warchousoa. Is it assumed that theyaro pre- pared to commit perjury in order to obtain office? Is it assumed that the Governor is about to wink at perjury saud violation of law in order to confer office upon them? Thoso who believe 8o had bettor stand out and declare thomsolves, If the Republican majority believo #o badly of their elected chiof, wo hopo the op- position will teach them o lgason of common deconey by votllng unanimously to confirm Lin appointees, unless reasons for a dlfterent course osn be brought forward which somebody shall be brave enough to put his name to. prmr————— “The Massachusette Leglelature will bo called upon o pass anothor patriotic resolution, similar to that consuring Mr, Sumner for his reboljlous proposition to strika the names of the Southern battles from the rogular standard of the army, Goneral Butler is now the Copporliead sud Rebel againgt whom patriotlo Mnasachusetts muet point ita ebafts, A fow daya sgo, Mr. Willard reported a bill fn the House to restore to tho ponsion rolla the names of $he soldiers of tho war of 1812, and of tholr widows, stricken off undor tho act of 1863, on account of thefr roal- denve in Biatos in rebelllon, Governor Hawley made a duly patriotic attack upon the proposi- tion, Indulging Ina stylo of oratory thet woyld have commanded tho tearful applanuo of Mas- sachusetts logistators, DBut Governor Hawley Lnd no soouor fAnjehed than Gouersl Butler, of Massachusotts, sudaciously pnd contuma- ciously clsimed that the soldiors of 1812 had earned tho right to be wrong once by sheddiug their blood for thelr country, He hogsted that ho hed returncd the old swords which ho cap- tured in Now Orjeans whonever Le found that they had been used in {be gervice of General Juckeon, Ho openly doprecated ihe affort to The grounds upon which it s songht to | coneluded by demauding that the House should romomber, not what was done In 1801 and 1802, but what was dono in 1812, The bill passod.

Bince thon wo lave raceived n printed argumont and atatomont made in bohalf of tho patont of Willlmn H, Atkins and Jacob . Tolthousor, of Olicago, In Fobruary, 1851, thoy made application for a patent, ncluding A dovico for fooding from right to loft, or the ro~ vorae, without stoppiug tho mnohine, hoing sub- stantially tho food npparatus now in use. The Patont Examiner, whilo granting them a patent, rotusod it for this fooding oporation, In 1854, tho samo Examiner granted a patent for this ro- Jocted dovica to auothor sowing-machine pat~ onteo, Follhousor & Atkins, who bad boon using thoir own invention for several years, wore then prosccuted for in- fringing the patent granted thon youra lator. Atkius & Folthousor appealed from the Examiner's declsions, and, fn 1800, tho Courts doclared thom the original inventors, Attor along serieaof rofusals by the Patont Ofico and docislony by the Gourts, thoy wore adjudged, in 1803, to bo entitled to the patent. In tho meantime they hiad beon compelled, for the want of monay, to assign o part of it, and then the As- signoo, to repayhis own advances, soldit, witlithe right to relesue, and throe-fourths of the oxton- slon to tho Wilson & Bingor patonteos, Twelvo out of tho fourtoen yoars of the patont wero spent in extonsive litigation, in the end compelling thom to uell it to their opponents, not only for tho halance of tho term, but for tho soven yoars' extousion, They now ask from Congross o re- nowal of thoir patent to thomsolvos. They stato that their aggregato receipts from their patont during tha twenty-ono yosrs have beon only 20,421, and thoir expenditures 6,841, or & not mcplpt of 50 from a patant which has netted to thoso who have enjoyed its possession many hundrods of thousands of do}lars. The appliea- tion is strongly indorged by those who are famil- iar with the oppression to which these patenteos linvo been subjected. THE QUESTION OF VIADUCTS, There is & conflict botween the city authorities and tho manngers of several of the railways, touching the oxpense of constructing the via- ducts at the verious street-cvossings, The city has, by contract with the various new companios, arranged that all such viaducts sholl bo built by the raflways. The companies who have had the privilego of stroot-crossings for the last twenty years aro huckstering as to what they shall pay. There can bo no question that the Mayor and Common Couucil are right in domanding that the whole cost of these vinducts shall bo, paid by tho railway companfes,'and the latter fail to progent the least equity to justify their refusal, Tho construction of viaducts over auy street occupied by reilways must almost inevitably result in the total surrender of that stroot to tho railways. Weist Water stroot is an illustration, Tho railway compauies bavo the free and uninterrupted use of that streat from Van Buron’ to Blato atroot. The value of that franchigo Iy incaleulablo. To take down the prosent viaducts would be to complete- ly arrest the railroad business on thak street, and bo an annual cost to the companies tenfold tho cost of all the viaducts, When West Kinzie stroot shall be crossed with viaducts et overy stroot-crossing from Dosplaines struet to the city limits, Xinzie atroet itself will bo as effeotually and oxclusively givon up to railroad traffic as if it had nover been s streot. It will,in fact, amonit to & surrender of Kinzie stret to the railronds. So in tho case of all othor streets upon which railrond tracks aro laid, and which will be oroseod by viaducts: they will bo of very little use oxcopt for railroad purposes, or for such business a8 may bo ultimately dependent upon raflroad connections. Under these circumstances, the railroads may well accept tho surronder to thom of the streeta they shall occupy a8 a most liboral remuneration for the comparatively potty cost of bullding the necossary viaducts, Had the railroads sought tho means whereby they could Liave the freo, ox- clusive, and uninterrupted occupancy of the streots on which their tracks are laid, they could not have devised a better plan than that of build- iy vinduots at all tho crossings of thoue streets. CANADIAN CANALS AND RAILWAYS, I'wo groat national improvements are en- gaging tho attention of tho people of Canada, ‘Wa aflude to tho Canadian Pacific Railway and tho enlargoment of tho canala to the capacity of vessels or' 1,000 or 1,200 tona. Ve menn no dis- respoot to that natlonal feoling dovoloping in Cauada when we suggest that it would be un- wiso for them to attempt to conmatruct both worka at the samo time. Unloss prompted by the strong, controlling principlo of uationalily, any lmmediste and sorious offort to build o contineuntal railway throngh British North America must ap- pear to &l ‘sonsible mon not only o commercial and financial blunder, but & posi- tive absurdity, Tho route for soveral huudred miles, betweon the prosent westeru terminug of tho Canedlan railways and Fort Gary, in Mani- toba, lics through o desolate couutry uorth of ke Superior. It will coat 2 hundred millions of dollars, at least, to build this sootion of the road, und, whon fluished, 4o severe aro the win. ters, that it is doubtful whether it cau be'run for soveral months in the year, If completed to- day, Itis guite certain that the entive recolpts of the rosd would not pay the men (o run the tralns, West of Fort Garry, to the Rocky Moun- toiny, the road will run through the Assin- iboino aud Haskatchewen Valleys, than which $hore ig no finer section for agricultural pur- poses of equal extoiit on this coutluont, West of the mountains the route must beud far north to follow tho windlnge of Frasior River, and for 500 to 800 miles tho cost of tho road will be searcely less then that on tho north shore of Take Buperior. Our Pacific Rallway cost $240,- 000,000, end the Canada road cannot bo built for loss than an additiona} §100,000,000, True, wo havehad a Crodit Mobilier with immensostoaiings, but con thc Cpnadiana escapo nulmllurcn\limny? Even England could pot atford the money to sluk fn un onteprise which, for moro than s genoration, must prove & sluking concern of the Jargeat proportions. Need we pojut to the Canadicy oxporloneo with the Grand Trunk Railway, built {hrough tho vory heart of Cane ade, gn@d attracting @ Jargo business from this sido of the lino, fo assuro them thak apr Judg- ment, if not disintorested, is entiroly just, perpotuate the rancors of tho Rebellion, wug] For access to Manitobn and the splondid conutry betweon It and the Rocky Mountains, the Ganndiane lave now tho frasuse of owur rallways on the same raten proclsely for frelghtn and passangpra that we onjoy.

A minglo docado wil ho likely to require tho complotion of this rond to the base of the Roclky Mountaine, It Oanada wants security that she nhall havo tho uso of our Northwostern railways on equal torma with ourselves, lot her opon the Bt. Linw- ronco routo for our stoamors, i. he shortoat timo possiblo. It will not coat onu-navter of what it will to build a railway to Fort Ciarry, That will lossen the frelght on cach bushol of giain, and will be equivalont to an advance In value of every farm botwoen Lako Michigan and the Rocky Mountains for at least 20 to 26 por cont of its prosont value. Suroly that is a collateral that must bo good beyond any possible contingency. It Is, moreover, good for a bond for a similar nmount on the esrnings of all our great roilway lines which lavo their enstern torminus on Lake Buperior or Lake Michigan —the Northern Pacific, the Milyaukeo & Bt. Paul, the Northwoators, the Burlington & Quincy, the Ohleago & Rock Island, the Alton & 8t. Louls, and the Illinols Contral, Thoy oxtend from the lakes to the Mississippt and the Missouri aud Ohfo, and some of them to the Rocky DMountaine. Whatever adds 25 per cont to tho value of tho producta of tho farms through which they run, must very soon add o corresponding amount to the value of their atocks ; but to stop the-canal for auny causo would impose equal disaster upon tho farms and the railways. In fact, it is not diflcult to carry ont the rrgumont, and to prove that fo open tho Bt. Lowronce route, s 1;mposad, would bo to oxocuto a bond to Canada for 26 por cent of tho value of the entiro Northwest—its farms, its citios, its rallronds, its businoas, and all the wealth of its people, Is not this also o sufficiont sccurity to the Domin- ion Government, not only for tho use of our reilways, but for the capital to build the canal iteelf? Thoy liave this vast country on the one side, and the millions of Great Britain on the other, whosa trado with oach otlier this Bt. Lawrence route, whon duly onlarged, must for- ovor control, This is & prize worthy of tho im- mediate offorts of tho Cauadian Dominion. To attempt both the rallway and the canals at onco will be to dofeat both: to build the canal within five years will so enrich Canada that she can easily carry hor railway to tho Pacifie withina slngle goneration. FILE-PROOF CITIES. Itis worthy of note that the discussion of im« provements in the Americzn stylo of building In large cities lins not subsided with the immodiato interest which was revived by the Boston fire, New York is devoloping & spocial concern In the strict onforcoment of tho bullding lawe which'it now has. Heretofore, these laws could be modi- flod by the Superintendont of Duildings, with the approval of tho Buprome Court. As for many yenrs the Bupreme Court of New York City waa far from Incorruptible, it is not strange that modifications have beon froquont and to the sorlous detrimont of New York's best interests. Govornor Dix has reconlly suggostod to the “Loglslature - that it shall provide greater safe- guarde against tho Infringement of tho buflding lawa, Hia proposition i, that tho responsibility of changing the Jow o overy caso shall rest upon the Board of Tire Underwriters, the Firo Commissionors, and a _Committeo of the Amoricsn Institute of Archi- | tocts, Thisrule {8 rogarded with great favor, and espeoiaily that part of it which includes & Comumittoo of Arohiteots es an advizory Board, without whose consent thore shall be no depar- ture from the" protective laws which considera~ tions of the public good have suggested, It is believed that the superior knowledgoe nnd the professlonal pride which tho architocts have will combine to prevent unwarrantable Infringements of the law. It such & cowrso bo ndopted, tho City of Now York will bo much botter protected against the oroction of fire-traps than Ohicago. We Lave s Unilding Iaw, it is true, so far as the fire-ordi- nance passed sinco the conflagration of 1871 places certain limitations upon the construction of wooden housos within o certain distriot, The Iaw fteelf fa sadly lacking fu dotails, how- ovor, and the protection which it was intonded to provide is seriously impaired by the practical evasions that are possible because of this lack of details, But our building law, such aa it is, pro~ vides no other mesns of enforcoment than the usual ponalties which muy bo imposed for viola- tions. Therois no one whoso ospecial businous it is tosoo that ita provisions are uniformly ob- uerved, It is probable that cight out of ten of the houses now in process of eroction in Ohi- cago would, upon examination, prove to be de- foctive in somo roquivements of the law,—in its columns, its partitions, chimnoys, or flues. The building permit once issued, no one takes any farthor ofticiul notico of the mattor, and it iu only somo flagrant violation, readily noticed and feared by private citizeus, that {s liable to Lo chocked, TLo eafoty of o city should not do- pond upon so slight aud Insufliclont an aesuranco, Noaity in America needs & Superintendent of Buildings, or Bulldiug Inspector, so mmch as Chicago. Tho work of robuilding, now pro- grousing so rapidly, aftords an opporitunity to make New Chicago reasonably sccure from anothor vietation by fire, if the propor laws can e properly aupervised and onforced. Thero fn no tax which would bo productiye of s0 much gnmi, and none other that would be so cheor- fully paid by sensiblo people, ns that which it might be necessgry o udd to sustain a compo- tent building inspection. In connectlon with this matter, jt is interost- ing to know that Mv. Arthur Gilmau, of New York, jy making somo practical oxperiments of tho French stylo of firo-proof building, substi- tutiug e sort of network of wrought iron for flooring, in place of the solld and costly boams that are now gouerally used for fire-proot structuros In this country, It ho shall prove suc- cosaful, o willprovide light and floxiblo framo- work of lvon, vapably c,v‘r' bc:n-lug an h:nrunnuo strain, and at & much lower cogh, 'Fhiy frame- work will be adapted to the gypsum flooring, Mr, Gilmon furthor Yocommonds the building of hollow wally, 80 that plastoriug oan Lo “placed directly on the walls without thointervention of lnlblng.' He ostimates that buildiugs may bo constructed fter this dosigu at a codt uot moro ‘Hiwn 36'por oont groator than "that of tho ordl- | nary briek or stono bulldings, with thelr inflam- mnblo intoriors, T'o theso procautlons should bo added fire-proof pressges for olovatorn, where thoy nro to bo wutd, and atriet rogulationy as-to tho proximity of wood to tho flues, 'I'hose fea- tuven might Lo provided withont inerensing the cosl vory matorially, It is cortaln that our American citios will al- ways o subjoct to ruinous conflagrations, auch a8 have visitad Chicago, Doston, Portland, Now York, and 8an Franclsco, at varlows timos, until thero shall bo somo uniform systom of utilding that will provide reasonnble protection in tho cago of oach houre agalust the spread.of fira, With rosistance at ovory stop, firon can raroly mako a progross boyond the control of efflclent fire departmonts; without it, no fire dapart- ‘monts can hopio always to combat fire succoss- fully. o provide such o system should bo the combined offort of leglalntors and architects.

The latest and fullost disclosures of the frauds, forgeries, and crimos of the New York Tammauy Ring show that tho amount of profit pooketed by thom was $11,000,000. - The not profite of the Credit Mobilior Ring were $20,000,~ 000, while tho amount taken by tho manegers in overy form, and distributed by thom smong Congrossmen, ox-Congressmon, and othors, is put at $140,000,000. Of tho Tammany thieves, Garvoy and Iugersoll are roduced .to poverty, Haoll nover hod any of tho pecuniary shate, Con- nolly and Bwoenoy are porsoually fugitivos, and all their propertyls held as seenrity for thelr appoaranco at trial, Tiweed is under $1,000,000 bail, and ho and all his associatos aro under fu- diotmont tor folony, P Of tho Credit Mobiller party the *boss," Onkes Amee, i atiil an honorod ‘member of the House of Roprosontatives, which body dare not expel Lim for fear that his rovelations may bo more comproheusivo, Patterson, and Bingham, and Kolley, and Scofleld, are all mombers of Congross holding high position, Join B. Alloy, tho most intimate partnor of Ames, stands daily boforo the Committeo of Congress justifying tho whole robbery. No man in Congress pro- posos suy punishmonty and a largo portion of the pross thot lave for yoars paraded tho comparatively insignificant frauda of ‘Tweed and his associates, have mover n word to eay of the great calamity avhich hes fallen liko o deop obadow over tho fawr chinracter for hounesty, integrity, and patriotism of the Amorican Congress, The Now York frauds, though of o local charactor, provoked the national indignation, and & national demand for the punishmont and degradation of thio guilty. No one felt that Twood had sny right to oxpect that tho mantlo of obarity should bo thrown over his ' weaknoss ;" but what is to bo dono with Onkes Amos and his associntes? If the corrupiness of the Now York Board of Bupervisors were suflicient to arouse the indig- nation of the whole poople, what is to bo snid of the revelations at Washington? Arith- motically, tho Now York robbery was the emaller of the two; numerically, the number ongaged In it was less than in Credit Mobilier ; and in porsonal and political standing tho Tam- mony jobbera were of the canaillo, compared with the statesmen, scholars, and patriots who .necepted shinres of the spoil from Oakes Ames. No men can think of this matter without worrow at tho doop humiliation that has ovor- taken the Natlonal Loglalaturo,—a humiliation rendered more intense by the air of bravado and deflanco with which tho actors ask the people to applaud Oakes Amea’ public epirit In building the Pacifio Rond out of & portion of the money robbed from tho public. ‘NOTES AND OPINION, The Ohio Logislature has an Investigating Committeo on & littlo Credit Mobilier iu the en- torpriso of building Insano Asylumns, and tho doora of the committec-room have beon ordered open. —Tho nccusation againat Ingalls, Sonator-clect of Xansas, of a $500 bribe to Influence a certain decision of Judge Dolabay, very nearly affects Tom Qaboyrn, the now Governor of Kanass, who is Delaley's son-in-law, aud trausacted that speeial business for tho old men; and, more- over, it ia nol an accusntion merely, but o matter of court-rocord.
