It will Lo road with interest. We print this morning n discourss deliverad gyestorday by ono of our bost-known clorgymon on tho evil and peril of our times, as oxhibited in the Credit Mobilior, Our Madison correspondont gives & very com- plete statemont of tho contest now sharply wag- ingin the Wisconsin Logistature, helped by o powerful lobby, for the possession of cortain land-grants, the contestants bolhi being two great rival roilway corporations whose lines centro in Chicago. In tho ovent of Mr. Boutwell's being chosen to fll tho vacancy ifi the United Statos Senno caused by Senator Wilson'a olection to the Vice Presidoncy, tho signs now point to Assistant Becrotary Richardson as the porson to whom the Treasury portfolio will bo entrustod. Tho bill {ntroduced into Congress providing that tho salary of Congrossmen shall bo 8,000 yoar substitutes an allowanca of actunl exponses in going to aud from 'Washiugton, in placo of mileago. Mileage and expeuscs should both bo pbolished for tho same reason that the franking privilogo was abolished, and tho sum of $8,000 por ennum {8 large enough salary Lo warraut tho chango. A public mooting is talked of to meet the im- ponding crisis of dolorous and disastrons stench, when tho arrival of spring shatl thaw into o pestilenco the acres of offal accumulated in the southorn part of the city, the direction of our epring and summor winds. It forces upon us the gravest aspact of tho quostion how wo aro to disposo of tho refuso of our packing-houses without impairing that important brauch of in- -duatry. X There eooma to bo somo ground for complaint ns to the size and condition of the Whito Houso, which havo been doscribed in o recont report tado to Congress by Goneral Babcock. It ap- pears that, while tho public rooms zre amplo,” thoe living part of tho hiowso is cramped and un- ocomfortable, Tho President's femily has but -one spare room for the entertainment of guests, - This in certainly too littlo, and we do not believe *that tho American peoplo lhave any disposition to bo stingy in thoir troatment of tho President. The opinion appeara to be guining ground in * Washington that the Presidont will, after the " 4th of March, reorganize and strengthen our diplomatic servico. It is intimated that bLoth Jay aud Bancroft will be rocslled, and that Bickles will give way to a successor whose in- structions rogarding our policy toward Cuba will bo of a moro vigorous end explicit character than thoso under which our present Miunister at Madrid is now acting. A thorough clearing-out of the Bouth American Missious, it i3 bolieved, will take place, and sblor man will bo chosen to £i1] tho position It must be an interesting inguiry which is * nbout to Lo inatituted lu Wasbington, whetlier or not Messrs, Wilson, Brooks, Boyer, Hooper, Col- fax, Patterson, and the otbor Congrossional hold- ers of Crodit Mobilier atock, paid the incomo tax on thoir dividends. Thefact that Mr, Oakes Ames actod a8 trusteo for most of theso gontlemen would ouable him to give information on tho eubject. Tho inquiry should be mado of him when ho appears before the Poland Committeo nost Tucaday, The payment of this tax, if it remaing unpaid, wonld bo a vory protty addition to the receipts of the coming month; and, ne tho Government has Leon swiudled out of overy dollar which it contributed to the Union Paelfto, it certalnly shouid lose no opportunity of requir- jug such smell porcontago ns tho law provides, The Chicago produco markota wore modorately active on Baturduy, aud on wheat, corn, and bLarley an advanco was established. Mess pork was quiot and steady at §12.10@12.15 for cash aud 912,80 for goller March, Lavd was a triflo ensler and qulot ot $7.27@7.90 for cash, and &7.46@7.60 for sellor March, Meats wore strong and in fair domand at 4@4}c for shoulders; 6@CLge for long cloar and short ribsj 634c for short clear, and 73{c por Ib for 17-Ib average - groon hams, Drossed hogs wore in good supply end ateady ot £4,76 for heavy, and $4.95 for tight, Tighwinos wero dull and stoady at 874 por gallon for iron-bound packagen, Flour was dull but steady, Wheal was agtive at 3(@1o per bushel higher, No, 2 closing at §1,233¢ cash, and £1.25¢ eoller Marol, Corn was also uotive and firn at ¥@%(o advanco, closing at 81o cash, and 81340 wollor March. Oats woro steady at 20140 casb, und 270 for selior hlatch, Dye quiot and firm at 05)¢e. Barloy activo and firm at 20 advanco, No, 2 closing ot 720 eneb, aud 721{@ 73340 mollor Marols, Caitlo were dull and osay, with n fow sales at $2.60@5.75 for common o cholco. Ifogs wore In good domnnd, with saloa at $4,00@4.80, chiofly at 81.10@4.20, 1t is sndd that tho Bennto Committeo on Elec- tlons will roport in favor of throwing out tho Tleotornl votes of Loulsiana. Now, the question arlses: What powor ahall throw thom out ? - It {s simply tho duty of Congress to count tho Electoral votes that are given to It by the Vieo Prosident. It fs simply ¢hd duty of tho Vice Prosident to presont to tho Sonato tho Eloctoral votos that ara roturned to him. Tn tho case of his failuro, thore is & duplicato roturn of the voten of tho various Btates in tho hands of tho Soorotary of Stato, loft with Lim to provide for any emorgoncy by whicl tho Vico Prosidont shall £ail to recolyo the roturn of votes, There s no, powor vested in tho Sonato, or in tlie Vico Pros- ident, or in Congross, to diseriminate botwaoon votes thnt are returned, Was this an uninten- tional omission on the part of tho framora of iho Constitution ? Probably not., It was clear- ly ‘meant that nono of thie co-ordinate powers of tho Foderal Covornmont should have the discro- tion of dociding on State eleotions. Thera con only bo onme roml Govornmont In .sny ono State. It thore 8 B disputo in the State, it i for tho Stato suthori- tlon to dooido tho question by its own processcs of law. .In Louisians, the logal roturns would come from tho atanding Returning Board, corti~ fied by tho Governor. If it is clnimed that tho legal Ilolu'rn(ng Board and Govornor have mado a falso count, tho remeady is to bo found in tho State Courts, and tho final declslon woum‘nuhl- rally rest with the Buproma Court of tho Btato. TThis is tho natural courso of tho law. Thoro is no provision in the Constitution which suthor- .izos Federal .intorforonce on the part of either tho Prosldent, the Bennto, the Houso of Repra- sontatlves, or ihe Fodoral Courts. Al that the Benato may do legitimately ia to dotormine which of tho two contesting Senators, claiming the succesnion to Kellogg, shiail tako the neat. With the Elcctoral vote, or the olection of Governor and Legislature of tho Btato of Louisiana, tho Sonate or the House has evidently nothing what- aver to do. TTIE COBMON COUNOIL TO-NIGHT, Plio action of tho Common Council to-night, upon tha quostion of tho confirmation of the peraons nomtnuted by the Mayor for Polico Com- ‘misslonora, will bo watehod withgroat anxioty. 1t isan izsuo of law andorderoranarchy and crime. 1t is & quostion whether the Mayor aud the law, sustained by tho wholo law-abiding population, shnll bo sustained, or whether Mr. Klokke and Ar. Bhoridan shall bo absolute dictators in Ohi- cago, and thelr coufederntes, tho thieves, gam- blers, and law-breakers, shall have completo con= trol. There is no evading this issue, Mom- bers of tho Council must meot it fairly and aquarely. very citizen and every voter will understand precisoly how oach Aldeyman is to ‘o claesed by tho voto on theso nominstions. It is no longer & question of mon. ‘There is no objection to tho gentlomen nominnted, The vote against them, thereforo, is simply to rotain Klokke, and Rono, and Bheridan, and the gam- blérs, and tho worthloss vagrants and pimps thut now dlsgraco the polica forco, and rendor it inof- ficiont and ungafe. Wo hopo that ovory Alder- man will bo prosont to-night, and that thora will Do a-direct vote, whoreby the community may understand how many of tho Aldermen are uo Dbotter than the Commissioners, and oquelly in- terestod in perpetunting tho presont demoralizod and incompetent police force. 1t is mow reported that there are portons st Washington making arguments bofore Commit- tous snd button-hollng members of Congress, to induco an appropriation of many millions of dollars to enlarge tho Now York & Erio Cannl. fThis is substantially the begiuning of & job to goll tho Eric Caual to {ho United Statos, and ovontually to transfor to tho wholo American pooplo the cost of keping in ropair tho thirtoon canals of the State of Now Yorls, no one of which, excopt tho Erio, carns cnough to pay tho sulaties of tho toll-gathorers, n. ach logs tho cost of koop- ing it in ordor. Tho account of the Erle Canal with tho Stato of Now York shows that the canal s paid into the Stato Treasury, over aud above all its cost aud expenditures, $80,000,000; and, under these circumstances, it isan unheard-of proposition for that Stato to ask tho United States now toexpond fifteen or twenty millioas of dollars to enlarge tho canal, Thore is, however, no oceasion for any such oxpenditure by tho Goneral Govornment, Iho Canadian Government, with an enterptise and gpirit which, compared with tbe selfish aud beg- garly policy of Now Yorl, is worthy of the ago, is ulroady nt work, It has provided for anox- ponditure of §8,000,000 to enlarge tho Wellaud Cunal totho capacity of the largost-sized lake stoamers Tho contracts would now be let were it not that recent survoys indicato the posslbility of construcling an ontlrely new canal, of tho Inrgost dimonsions, by auew route. ‘Thooriginal plan was to covatruct o new: canal parallel with the Welland Canl, in ordor not to suspond tho oporations of the lattor. It is now rogarded practivable to conatruct o ship-canal from Ohip- powa to Quocuston, tho entire distanco boing but six miles. Tho cost of this canal will bo 8o comparatively small, and the time’ re- quired uo short, that tho letting of the contiacts on tho originally-designed work hny been post- poned, in ordor to recelve ostimates on this. In olther case, our lako vessols and stenmers, of whatevor dimensions, will, in a very short timo, Lo able to proceod from Chicago direct into Lake Ontario, and thonce to Montroal. But tho Canadian Governmont doos not stop hore. It has elso undertsken tho enlargement of the canals around tho rapida of the Bt. Towrence to an oxtont that will admit the somo stenmers and vessols Lo Toturn with full cargos. ‘Thia oxpendituro of twolve or filteen millions of dollara is made by the Csnadion Govornmont to opon to tho Wostorn Btatosn through wator routo to sn Atlantio port. At Montreal wo havo all tho facilities that wo can find et Now York, T'ho trip will be moasurably shortor, and the routo will not ba limited in its capoeity, The diffienlty with tho Erlo Counl s, that it fu not capable of accommodating but & cortain number of boats, of limited sizo; these boats cannot move more than ono bushol in ten that tho West cen forward, Nor can tho Erio Canal bo mado capablo of earrying but o small porcontage of the breadatuifs of the West. Thero being, therefore, an abaoluto limit to the bulk of grain that can be moved by that routo, tho rates of frefght must remain preclsoly what the boat- ownera choose to demand, Bo long as the froight offered is In oxcess of what ean be trans- ported, there can be no reduction in the rates of frolght, DBut oponing tho 8t Lawronce route lu quito s difforont affair, Tho ontlra commorolal navy of tho lakoes, oven if quadrupled, cannot oxcood the oapnolty of the routo. On tho way down thoro will bo but eix milos of canal, and thin oansl will transfer fifly steamors or mall vosnols ovory day, from tho ono laketo tho other. A sluglo’ steamer will eary moro grain through dircot from Clicago to Mon- treal than will find nccommoilation in all tho cars {hatoan bohired at ono tmo of any ono railrond londing out of this oity. Whore {hoto Is ono bushol of gratn now sont by steam- or, thero will bo six offerod, and, as tho lakoes and tho 8t. T.awrenco cannot be crowded liko tho onals, tho number of vassols can bo inoronsed indefinitoly, thoroby sccuring that compotition and cheap frelght which aro so essontlal to the Wost, Wo havo now sevoral trunk liues of railronds to tho senboard; yotsuch i tho dorand for cars thiat all thoso railronds combined cannot move tho live atock that Lios acoumulatod at our Btook Yards. Itisimpossible to oxpect that the rail~ roads can move tho bulky brondstufts of the Wontorn States, Thero must’ be water routes. Evon if tho Erlo Canal bo onlarged as s proposed, it will still bo wholly inadoquate. It is too long, and the nature of the co'\umy through which il passes will nover ad- mit it to bo suything but o routo for canal- bosts. Itcon mover bo omployod for steamers or salling vougols. Thoro a ahd must over bo o limit to tho number of canal-boats it can acoom= modate, ? It is folly, thorefore, for tho Natlon al Govern- ment to purchage that canal in wholo or In part. It caunot, at whatever expendituro of monoy, bo ‘mado 5 stoambont canal: Wo have offered to ug, without any oxponso, without the expendituro of & dollar, an netusl and all-suflicient wator route to the sea. Wo havo offerod to us froo of tax or toll an extonsion of lske navigation to tho oconn. We have offored to us without cost a direct routs, on which, withont any intorruption, can bo accommodated =l tho eniling vessecls and stoamers that can bo needod to movo evory buchol of surplus grain in tho Wostorn Btates, With tho $St. Lawronco thus mado navigablo ond froo, the talk of purchasing the Now York & Erio Cantl from o State which has slready placed £80,000,000 of surplus tolls in her Tressury, is nothing botter then an invitation to robbory. Theno millions of doMars have. boen collected from the West, aud tho West protosta ngainst Leing taxod over and ovor ogsin for that route. which in the end will be wholly ineufliciont, snd loavo us as help RAILROAD BRIDGE AT DETROIT. Every obstiuution or dolay to the frec traneit of commorco Is an exponeo which has to bo paid Dby tho consumers or producers of the articles transported. The Detroit River is tho terminus of tho Michigan Contral, Milwaukeo & De- troit, tho Grent Westorn, aud tho Grand Trunk Tailways. Tho only moans of erossiug tho river in by thouse of ferry-bouts, involving o greal expense, and, froquontly, a grest delny. For somo yours efforts linvo baen mado to construct a tunnel under the river, and $160,000 has beon expendod, and tho prospect of succoss s nat vary encouraging. Even if the tunuol should ovor bo practicable, it will bo many yorrs before it canbacompleted, Underthose gircumstances, the conetruction of & brlige over Detroit River, Stony Teland, has boon bogun, It is to bo a genoral ralirond bridge,—to be frao to all rail- roads now or Loroftor desiring to uso it. A bill is pending beforo Cougres granting the consont of the Govornmont ; but objections are urged that it s likely to obstruct the maviga- tion of the rivor, and thereby aflect tho lake' commerce, Tho construction of abridgo ought tobono obstruction to naviga- tion. ‘There iscertainly ongineering skill enough to plan & bridge which will not interfere with or ondanger novigation, Such a bridge, of course, is tho only ono that should bo tolorated, and such 8 bridge at Dotroit has boon of impérious necos- sity for tho lnst fiftoon yonrs. Resolutions ap- proving of and recommonding Congrassto autho- rizo this desired improvemontare pending befora tho Donrd of Trado, and are to be voted upon to-day. Ameondments have been offorod upon the sesumption -that thero ien rivalry botwoen rallroads. We hope tho Board of Trade will not ontor into that buginess. Lot thoro be no frit- teriug nyway of the force of tho recommendation. Lat tho prosent actusl improvement bo indorsod upon its own moerits, and i any othor bridges may b wautod Lerenftor, thoy can at the propor timo bo also indorsed. For the prosont let tho bridgo slready bogun be secured by s strong and emphatic recommendation. P ] 'CORONERS' INQUEBTS. It is vory ovident from tho manuer fn which Coroners' inquosts are conductod in New Yorlk City thiat thoy will soon havo to homade the sub- Joot of ofiicial investigation, to prevent their In~ torforenco with the due courso of justice, The caso of Bimmous is strongly to tho point. Bim- mons, it will be rememberod, was o lottery-deal- or, who ot ono time was associated with' Duryen in this suspiclous business. Disagroomonts be- tweon the two led to a rupturo of tho partner- ship, and also created bad blood botween tho two men, Recently, thoy mot on Broadway, and & quarrol of. words eusued Dbotwaen them which led to & fracas, in which Simmons, being much tho fmost powerful men of the two, knodkod his.antagonist into the gutter. Fo thon sprang upon kim with the fo- rocity of a tigor, aud, whilo ho had him com- plotoly at hiy moroy, Rud while his vietim waa Legging for his lifo, Lo drew & bowie-knife and slabbed Lim fourteen times, litorally cutting him to pieces, continuing his bratal, bloody work oven after Duryon was doad, and oxulting over it whon arrosted, beesuse *Langing was played -out In Now York City.” ‘Thoenext atep n tho ‘history of tho tragedy was tha empanelling of tho Coroner's jury, and the holding of an inquest to dotormino tho eauso of Duryoa's doath. Phe jury was gssombled, and then, upon various quibbling pretoxts, the inquest wag adjourned from timo to time, and was flually Leld, over a month from the time the murder was committed. Tho flrst Juryman was & messonger in'tho Coroner's ofllce, who for yenrs had boen o political bummer. The sccond was & profes- glonal juryman, who makes his living out of inquost focs. ‘The third was a professional sporting character, The fourth was classod in the directory ag a clork. The fifth had no occu- pation, excopt boer-drinling, and tho sixth Wes saloon-waitor, Intothe hands of such men ss those was ootrusted tho ‘mattor of fnding out how Duryos died, This was not a dificult tasl, and thoy specdily found tliat Nicholas W, Duryea camo to hiy death by stab- wounds inflieted by John Bimmons, Whon they Lind made this declaration they had dono all that tho luw requires them to do, and thelr dutive from Tronton tp Grosyo Taland, aud thenco to’ e woro at an ond. They did not view tho matter in this light, howover, but summoned additional ‘witnosnos, anil virtually commonood & trini of tho prisonor, with the view of influencing public opinfon in hin tavor, Tho result of this intor- forouco with tho dutfes of tho logal jury, into whoso hiauds thoe prisonor must como for trinl, wes an oxprossion of hollof that the murdorous assault by Slmmons * waa not promoditatod, and that tho prisonor, from provious throats mnde by deconsod towards him, moy havo cousidored Dbis lifo throstoned,” tho oxproslon of whioh in tho verdict was o pleco of arrogant insolonco and contompt for law, It {s not unnatural that mon of that stamp shiould meck to oxculpate o murdorer. It s not unnatural that mon of that stamp should Le simplotons onough to bellave that thoy had n right to briug in o verdiot which was olmost tautamount to n scquiltal of tho prisoner. It could mot havo boen dono, however, without tho instrnotions and consont of the Coronor, who, in summon- ing the jury in the first instance, waa guilty of & flagrant contompt forpublic opinion in choosing such & olags of mon for jurors in on {mportant caso, and, in indorsing tholr vordict,of an equal- 1y flagrant contompt for the Courts in usurping thoir jurisdiction, It was clearly withiu his province to return tho fact that Duryon came to i doath by wounds Inflicted by Simmons, but when ho roturns tho fact that he and his jurors ook to justify tho prisoner, by declaring that ho may havo bolloved certain things, they so far transgresa tholr dutios ns not only to bo guilly of importinenco, butto serlously interforo with tho oporations of justico, What is true of tho Now Yorlk jury hsa moro than onco been truc of Chicago Jurios, espeoially in the dnys whon pro- fossional dead-bents wore accustomed to sit upon bodics and sdministor *Crowner's quest law.” In the New York caso, howover, it was only tho firat of & cunuingly-dovised serion of operations to secure tho escape of Simmona from punish- ment. As such, it dosorves the severest repro- bation. ey RATLROAD GAMBLING IN PENNSYLVANIA.

As tho Assooia- tion would know from tho subseription just tho amount of coal cach member dosired, and when 1o wanted 1t thers would bo na delay in dellvor- ing, and the practico of delivering ono ton to- day, one to-morrow, and o on, ond of waiting for o storm to wot tho conl and malko it welgh moro Loavily, would bo ¢ an end. By distrib- uting tho actusl expenue of such an Asso- clatlon smong & Inrge numbor of aub- geribers, it would hardly bo folt, and wubscribers would oucapo tho oxtortions of wid- dlemon and the swindling in welght, which aro maitors of evoryday oxporlonco among conl- congumors, It i3 imposniblo for mout pooplo to glvo nny attontion to the purchase of coal. Tho conl-officon aro diatributod Iiboraily through the buelnoss parte of tho city, but in most cosos tha coal-yards aro in remoto parts of tho city, and the most the purchesor can do 18 to lonvo his orderat the offico and trust to Juck to gob his coal, of tho quality and quantity offored, and 1io {8 & vory lucky man if ho gots cithor the ono or tho othor, Tho chancea aro about oven that ho oxdors his cosl of n man or fim who hovo no yard nt ofl, but who fiil his ordor at n conl-ynrd, nnd make thoir profit by swindling in weight, Inan order of ten tons thoy mnko the cost of ono tom, and somelimos’ more. Thero is virtunlly no responsibility at- taching to tho coal-brokor. Hohas fnunmeora- blo ways of swindling, and innumorablo ways of covering it up. Any plan, thereforo, which promiscs to do away with middlemen, and o8- poclally with theso 1rresponsiblo conl-bummers, whoso wholo -stock in trado consists of a four- by-six office, an ordor slato, and a box of pamples, and which will socure Thounest woights, will bo hallod with dolight by an afiiicted com- munity, which, at prosont, has no redrosa for its griovancos, If this Asaocintion can romovo theso griovances, na it affirms, it will be the inanguration of s reform which has Tong boon needed, and will accomplish a vory material reduction in tho oxponnes of living. Thero {a no rosson why it should not. There ia no reaon why co-oporation in coal should not sucosed as woll 88 in any othor article of con- sumption. Thoro is no reason why 860 should not buy just as much coal a8 $100, undor tho co-oporative plan, At the samo timo, it would not ba well for peoplo to rush into this Aagocla- tion blindly, simply Liceause its promises ara so plausiblo. It should bs carefully sorutinizod, ‘Doth ns to tho charactor of the men who proposo to manago it end their ability to porform what thoy promiso, and thon their busincss should be alwoys opon to inspection. It is also to bo takon into nccount that such & co-opor- ativo Assoclation would como at once into colligion with the present conl combination, which is now stronger than avor by reason of the action of tho Ponusylvania Coal Ring, It is not ot all impossiblo that if the Assaciation wore formed it would find itsclf unable to purchaso conl excopt from tho vory derlers who aro in leaguo with tho Ring. If tho Oity of Chicago cannot purchase oxcopt from tho rogular city doalors, it is difiicult to sao how tho Assoolation con got its supply. Tho principlo of the Asso- ciation i corract, nud its succcssful oporation would bo 8 blossing to the community. At tho samo timo, it would bo o very rash act to rush into an associntion of this kind blindly, and with- out cauvusaing tho subjoct in all its phases.
