The unanimous conscnt of the House was _given, yosterdsy, to tho introduction of an dmendment to the Sundry Appropriation bill, ' prohibiting the publication by the Government of books for free distribution. This {e one of i¢he stope toward that economy of public print- \ing which must naturally follow thorepesl of tho “frauking priviloge. * Tho Houso of Ropresentatives have passed the bill to promota . telegraphic communication bo- #woen Asia and Amorioa by the Awmorica and ®Eaat India Tolograph Company. Tho Company smust begin to lay their cablo within two years, and are given the right to constract, land, and maintain telograph lines on the Pacific Const to ‘connect the two continonts. Thoyars to bo allowed the uso of Government vossols in laying their cablea. ' Tt is stated that $10,000,000, tho entire smount of the new Eric Railroad loan, was nogotinted in London inasinglo day.

Itistho dircet ‘rosult of the recovory of property from Juy Gould, by which the road instanily obtained soveral millions that might not have been secured by going to law, oven after a long and costly struggle. It is, thereforo, a complete an- swer to the condomnatory comments that have boen made in cortain querters concerning this sottlement, and,af tho samo time, a full oxpres. elon of confidence in the prosont Erio manage- ment. In a railroad accidont which occurred last weok, a Hudson River oxpress train ran off the track in such o manuer as to Lave rendered “teleacoping” unsvoidable, if tho cars had not beon provided with the patent coupler and plat- form invented for tho purposo of guarding Bgainst this rosult. Buch Is the testimony of cortain oxports. In view of thisand othorpc- tunl ocourronces which hayo domonstrated the ngefalness of this invention, it is culpablo for any railway management to nogloct the manifest duty of providing all thelr passengor coaches with it. “Tolescoping” is ono of tho most frighttul and frequent spocies of railroad catas- trophes, and i thorois suy protection sgainst 1t, tho public are ontitled to such protection at 21l times and places.

Tho advocatesof monarchy, howover, are in favor of the gystem, and, for this reasou, it may bo pre- sumed that it will bo adopted. —— v Mr, Harlan, of tho Washington Chronicle, sooms to have oxpericuced nchango. A fow wooks ago hio oxpressed the opinion in his news- papor that the Congressional investigntions would do no good. Now, howaver, ko is of opin~ fon fhet “this investigation and exposure of the sorpent's wiles in our Congréssional garden aro having tho effect of awaking the country to & roalizing senso that money is atill the ract of all ovil, and that they who make hasto to be rich will fall into divors tomptations and snaros,” and then’ he goes on and insists that *‘men in ligh places must legislato with- clean bands- and . cest the horoscopo of tha nation. with unjaundiced ‘vision."

But Loulsians does doos not present &. condition of intornal violonce, If it ald, and the rival Logielatures, or omo of them, should thon domand protection, it would probally devolve upon tho United States Govornment to decide which of the two Loglslatures was the Iogal body. In such case, it would probably be tho duty of Congross, in intorproting tho spirit of the Con- stitution, to defor to tho decisions of the Bu- preme Court of tho State.

Nover- theless it should not bo made any worse than he hos himeelf made it. Mr. Ames produces his memorandum-boolk, which is not the most trust- worthy ovidencc, and testifios that he paid Colfax $1,200, and the bank cashier testifies that he doposited this amount two days.lator. Mr. Colfax, on the other hand, shows (and we think the testimony ison the whole in his favor) that horecolved this monoy from Nesbitt, and that ho sent it to Indiana in a draft to Mr. Con- nor, of Indiannpolis. The main question is not, however, whother 1Mr. Colfax received {he money from Mr. Nesbitt, although ho scoms . to 'hovo' ostablished that faot,. Itis the wont of candor which has marked his courso from the outset that hascreated an incradioablo prejudice againat him. ¥e wag un- truthful at tho commenc¥ment, and then by his own folly, step by step, caused tho public to dis- trust him moro and more. In hia campaign spoechos be deniod that Oakes Amos or any other. poraon evor gavo him any stock, and this denial conveyed tho'iden, and it was go accepted by Re- publican newspapors, .that ho had never owned any of thoe stock, whoreas Onkos Amos has sinco .admitted that he did own some of the stock, and the nature of tho transaction shows that it was sirtually a gift. Whon Mr. Ames subseguently doclared that ho paid him $1,200, Mr. Colfax again blundered by declaring at onco that it'was falso, because if he had over roceived B0 large & Bum at omo time ho should have remembered it, but this may have boen only a blundor, _If, at the very outsot, he had sclmowledgod the wholo ruth withont sub- torfuge or evasion, and relied upon his good farmora, Is it just? It is not only competition our former has to moet, but lo is asked to pay monoey out of his pockot in taxes to aid his com- potitor in compoting with him,” 3Ir, Fort, to bave bean consistout, ought to have insisted on closing up tho canal entirely. If tho Woat wore not allowod to gend corn,wheat, and ontg to Now York, then the farmera of Gonesce, and othor countios of the Stato, could demsnd 59 to 84 per bushel for wheat, aud €2 for corn, * and the country would ‘get rioh,"” nccording to the old- fashioned theory of protecting industry. e The.Chicago produce markets were rather quick yesterday.

What thia lattor distinction maymenn wo do not know, unless it signifies that he paid more for the seat than it was worth, A voto to expol would imply disgraco, and would require two-thirds.

It is not impossible that n mojority vote may be obtained foy this, for thore are numerous precos dents for tho courao which the Committeo have recommonded.

Tiwo hundred Chinoss laborors have al- rondy boon omployod in the cutlory works thoro, and one hundred moro aro aaid to' bo on their way from Ohinn, under contract, with tho sxmo Company. Thoso laborors. dluplaco an oqual number of Amorican mochanics and workmen, and, as it Is reportod that thoy work for 81 aday, boarding thomaolves, it is, of courso, imponal- ble for tho ‘Americans to ‘competo with thom, This was tho griovance. The peoplo of Beavor Faolls, howover, have rcmorted to no violonco to break down s movoment which, sufficiontly extended, would lonvo them without omployment, ag thetra ia n community “of workingmen. Tfiey digcounten- ancod resort to forco, but adopted a sories of resolutions sotting forth their complaints, snd appointed o committes to prosent thom to tho menagers of the works. Those rosolntions ox- pross a genoral disapproval of tho practico of importing Chineso laborers into the United Btates for two roasona: 1. Booauso tho charac- ter of the Coolies is'of & kind that unfits thom for contaot with Chriatian communitios ; and, 2. Becauso their habits and manner of living aro snch as to forbid the competition of American mochanick and laborers, Aside from those genoral ronsons, tho pooplo of Boaver Falls have spacial cause for protest, since the agonts of tho Company made promises of comstant em- ployment to all who would purchaso proporty at Boaver Falls nnd make that placo their homo, Thoy, therofore, rogard the om- ployment of Coolics'ss & brosch of faith, and furthermoro nssert thut, if thoy had known Caolies wero to bo employed thero, * they would havo shunned the town as they would shun a loprosy,” The Cutlery Company has ovidently givon na & renson why they Lave omployed the Chinego that thoy have been losing monoy ; for, in roply to this, the people of Boaver Falls ex- pressos tho opinion that s spoedier ‘rocnvury of losges would bo accomplished by tho immediate removal of tho Coolios and the selection of citi- zon -mochinnics. This was probsbly on tho ground that skilled labor would bo mora profita- blo than cheap, unskillod labor ixi the long run, Buch {6 a atatemont of the Boaver Falla caso. There are two points af viow from which this Ohincso problom may bo contemplated. In tho ona caso, the general right of all men to find employment whore they can, and at such prices a8 they may, is not to bo’donied. It would be sbsurd for Amarics, of all conntries, to opposo this sxiom of equal, rights, though ecarcoly mora absurd, perhaps, than to meke laws by which superior ‘advantages are guarantoed fo cortain business' pursuits undor the namo of “Protection.” But thoso' who cannot justify the lattor could cortainly not excuse tho former, In thisviowof tho casp, Ohinamen have the vame right to come into tHe United Btates and ongago themselves in work, at such prices as they may desiro, that {e enjoyed by the Afri- can, tho Irighogan, the Gorman, and overy othier man of whatever race, color, or mativity he may be. But it is o mistake, commonly ‘made by those who look at Lh? Ohinese problem from this standpoint, to supposo that this atato- ment comprehends the whole oase. There is an- other axiom equally well defined, No corpotn- tion has the right to introduce an eloment into eivilizd soclety which has o tendency to broak down the civilization of the community,into which it {s introduced, - Governmont and civil- izntion are of twin growth and mutual depond- enco. ' If it is ono of the main purposes of civ- ilization to provide good CGovernment, it is the lighest duty of Govornment to protact oivilizas tion, Asan domonstrated nuisanco is abated for the protection of the.public health, so every folic of barbarism musat be rooted out for the bomefit of oivilization. As it would be a social crimo to forco tho mocioty of ignorant and depraved poopls upon en edncated and cultivated person, so it would bo a political erime to discourage ekill and good citizenghip by placing incompotency and vag- abondism npon an equal footing, in any commu- nity. Thia genoral principle of Political Econ- omy, it will be remombered, was -applied to the Chinese problom by Mr. Mill, in answor to'n lettor addrossed to him by Mr. Thomas Goorgo, ot California, : Tho caso in Beavor Falle may be fairly takon have bought proporty, gathored tholr familioa about them, founded their achools and churches, and proparad to ndvanco in* prospority and civile izatlon, Buddonly, somo two or throo hundrod Coolles aro brought Into tholr town. Engngad by contract according to tho range of prices I tholr own country, thioso Coolios find it impog- siblo to improvo thoir Liabits of living.

By tho nact of Congress of July 1, 1863, tho Union Pacifo Raflroad Company was authorized and roquired to construct a railway from ““a point on tho wostorn boundary of tho Biate of Iows, to be fixed by tho President of tho United Btates," to somo_point on tho ono-hundreth moridian of longitudo. “Hero was an absoluto requiroment that tho point of commoncomont of tho road should . bo on the wostern boundary of tho Btato of Tows, and, In Novomber, 1803, Proal- dont Lincoln, by proclamation, dosignatod tho “particuler point. Subssquontly, fo Maroh, 1804, tho Presidont, in's communicatlon to the Senate; informed that body that, in ordor to mako it moro dofinito, he had declared the point to be ¥ within the limits of tho township in Towa op- poslto the'town of Omaha, in Nobraska,” Tho wholo logialation of Congross was framod on thio thoory that the various ronds from tho Enaat, thon undor construction and to bo con- struoted through Iowa, were to torminate on the Towa sido of tho Missouri River, snd thore con- to iliustrate the two political axioms quoted, and to shovw that there ia no antagoniem 'Lotween them. Had ono Chinaman, or two, or half-a- dozen, como voluntarily to . Beaver Fulla to oarmn their lving, it is not probable thet thelr presence would bave ' boon ro- garded- as objoctionable. Thoe natural course of ovonts would have been to pay them accord- ing to tho curront value of the servico which they could render. They would bave learned ihe language as best they could, and would have adapted thomsolves to the customs of the com- munity in which thoy wore to live. Had thoy found thelr labor more romunerative, aund their agsoclations moroplensant, than in their own country, they might have saved their earnings to sond homo and induced other Ohinamen to cmigrate, Thoe Incrense of Chinamen in the country in this gradual way would b & conform- ancp to tho principle of their Intorent right to choose thejr own abiding-place mad thelr own flelds of labor. But, it Wil Lo plservod, they wpuld not come in numbors sufficient to rendor thofr native {gnorance or depravity dingerous to tho iuterosts of tho community alrendy ostab- lished, The Introdustion of a largo eolony of Qoolles futo Boaver Felly, on tho other hend, Tt is to bo hoped that the veport of the Cont- Red River to & point in tho lougliude of Fort Rittoo may bo adovtot sud Caldvell yomitied to mny ooslly bo an outrage upon that comumunity. Horo is a community of ekilled mochanios, who noct with the Union Paclfio Rond. That was tho renson that tho point of boginning of tho Intter rond was fixed on tho wostorn boundary of Tows, Inatosd of beginning on the wost bank of the Missourl, If any doubt oxisted on thia peint, it is removed by thoninth section of theaotof 1804, in which it wea provided that “ sny ono of the Pacific Railrond corporations is hereby authorizod to cstablish and malntain all necos- sary forrios acrosstho Missouri ;" also, **tocon- struct bridges over the Missouri River, and all othor rivers, for the convenionce of eald road.” It furthor provided that sny bridge it should construat over the Migsouri River, or any othor navigablo river, *‘on the line of tha road,” should bo constructed with draws, &o. : The bridge over tho Missourl River was not bogun-until 1868, and in 1869 was for a time sus- pondod, and thon resumed. From Soptembor, 1808, until Fobruary, 1871, oxcopt for & faw ‘months in 1889, the Unlon Paciflc Railrond Com- pany continuod . its expenditura building this bridge over tho Missourl River. ‘At thia lotter date, tho ontire assots of the Company not nctu- slly oxpended in building tho rond, amounting" to many ‘millions, bad been stolon and divided among tho partnors and friends of Oalos Amos. The, Company then sapplicd to Congross, and an ot was passed suthorlzing the Comipany to f{ssuo bonds to comstruct » bridgo over tho Missouri Rivor. The samo net provided that nothing therein should be con- strued us changing the enstorn terminus of the road, The bill- recited that it was to enable tho Union Paclfic Railroad Company to “‘make con- vonient and ‘necossary 'connections with other roads.” . The Union Pacific Rallroad Company have, over since the complation of the bridge, affected to troat tho enstern torminus of their rond as the ‘wost bank of the Miesouri River, and have man- agod tho bridgo as tho property of an independ- ont orgauization; hsvo placod it in the hands of an agent, who Jomands and collects a special toll «of 810 forevery car and 50 conts forevery passon- gerthat goos over thobridge. Thepointof differ- oneo is, thot if tho oastorn torminus 6f the road be on tho Yows side of tho river, the Union Pacific Railrond Compahy would have to doliver and take up its freight and passengors on tho Fowa aldo of the rivor ; but if the terminus bo on the Nobraska sido, then the Company may chargo apecial toll on overy passenger and ton of frolght whioh I8 to be carrled acrogs. Thae act of Congresa of 1804 provided that the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Roads, no matter by whom nor how conatructed, should be used and operated “ for'all purposes of communication, travel, and transportation, 8o far as tho publia and Govornment are concernad, as- one contin- uous lino :" that is to say, from the oastorn tor- minus in Tows to the westorn torminus in Cali- fornia, Yot hero, at the oaatorn ond, it lops off tho pridge, by which it alone can rezch its caat- ern torminug, treats that.asan independant rord, and collects spocinl toll on all passengors and freight carried over it, on the guibbling ploa that the weatorn boundary of Towa ia in'the centro of-the Missouri River, . Horo ia a corporetion chartored by Congress to construct and operate & continuous line of railway and telograph from the Iowa sido of tho Missour River tos point in California,” which refusen to deliver ite fraight and prasongers, or to roceivo tho snmo 1 tho Stato of Town; that, although {t has built and has & rallroad bridge from the Nebraakn side of the river to its eastern torminus fu Towa, it oporates that bridgo as o distinot business,—charging ocach passonger 8 special toll faor transportation to and from itsenstern torminusto its trains, which -1t koops on thoe western bank of the river. Tho ot of leglalation in 1871, known as tho Bridge oct, was a fraud, known to be so, and so do- nounced {n Qongress at tho timoe; but it was forcod through both Houses of Congress, through tho nctive offorts of tho men with whom Oalkes Amos ad placed Credit Mobilier stook and divi- dends, Up to withiu a fow weeks, tho Union Pacific Railroad has been all-powerful in Congress, Nothingthat it demanded was refused. Congross has boen deaf to evory appoal concerning the fraudulent toll collected at this bridga over tho Missouri River, and there are too many of the Company's stipendiarios in Congross at this timo to havo any hopoe for corvective legislation, Tha quostion, howavar, ia before tho Attorney Gonor- al, and wo hopoe that ho willhave firmness onough to deoldo that jthe eastorn torminus of thoroad ia in Towan, aud henco that theso ostra tolls are unlawful, it e Tho manifold abaurditios jucident to philan- thropfe pureuits find n now illustration ina caurso of lectures to tho nowshoys of Now York, on sugl subjects aa ¥ Nutrition of the Human Prame," Thigly announced asognoof auories of anatomical and physiologlesl logtuves {g bo given for tho instructlon of this benighted spoclos of tho gamin race, Itls not probnblo that the loarned lecturer will stoop to explain to the hoya the differont offeots which poanuts and plos oxert upon tho averago stomach of tho ton- yesr-olda, It not, the subjeot of the * Nutrition of tho Iluman Framo " will soarcely moot elthor “tho appreciation or tho good rosults which are thus philanthropleally antloipated from it, e SR T'ho logal prosocutions againat cortaln Oatho- lio pricats, which racontly accurred in Iroland, wora based upon the oharge of Intimidation at olootions, n misdemesnor under the law.

Judge Keogh came to the remcuo, ond apoodily docrecd that Oaptain Fronch had baen tho real cholco of the oloctora, by which he probably moant the British Government, Tho tasto of priestly intorforence in eleotions is cor- tainly vory questionablo, but the British Govern- ment can well afford to tolorato it #o long sa it has Judge Koogh in the background.

The English Anti-Slavery Bocloty. is now calling for the immediate euppression of this inhuman trafllo, and potitiona the Government to no longor attempt to mitigato its horrors by rogu- lating it, 88 it has done herotofore. s et Bt Y A salo of Govornmont steamors was mado at Maro's Island Navy Yard, Califorais, recontly, at which the stoamer Vanderbilt was put up at auc- tion and withdrawn aftora bid of 56,000 had ‘beon made for hor, this boing the highest sum any,ono would offer. Tho Vanderbilt originally cost about $8,000,200, and it will be remembored waa presented to tho Govornmont at a very eriti- cal poriod of the war. ~ The low bid which was mado for her grows ont of tho fact that for war or commeroial purposos she is good for nothing, ‘which is the preolso condition of many other vos- zels in the United Statos navy. —_— AMUSEMENTS, B TOOTH AT M'VICKER'S, A8 Mr. Edwig Booth was welcomed cordially back to Chleogo last evoning, after nn absonco of maore ‘than two yoars, « The audionco was large, and of a high dogreo'of culture, liko thoso usu- olly gathered at onrbest theatros to seo the gentloman who can justly be called the most in- telligent and intollectual actor in America. Tho play, which Mr, Booth has selected for s special- ty this senson, ia not new here, although it is, in's mensure, unfamiliar, It was presented by- Mr. Booth himeelf at McVickor's Theatre many years sgo. Dlays of the old Grocian and Roman erss, at the beat, aro likely to fall with a certoin deadnoss upon modorn audicdces.. It is diffoult to produce tho dosired Alusion, and tho stago people aro genorally ill at ease in busking, tights, and togas, Fino rhetorio, varlety of actlon, and intensity of pnssion make them tolerablo, but only to & degres. Only Shaks- peare rises to the hoightof tho grest argument, and overcomes with his wealth of dramatic power and passionall thodisndvantages necesaari- 1y oucountered by the dramatist. “ Brutua"isno excoption to tho rule, Ithas noither brillianoy ot dislogue, nor oaso and rapidity of movement, Ita intensor .scones aro fow, and, in them all, Brutus is the one overshadowing foature, For Bomo unexplained rougon, Mr, MoVicker had not projiared, with his usual consolentious diligence, antique scenery suited to the age reprosented. There was tho faonde of an auciont temple, with somo claims to antiquity,:s Roman atrinm ap- Pproximating to corrostnoss, and a 6w othior sug- gostions of the old time. Butthe templo was gonerally soen through a vists of Swies cottages and rod brick houses rominisgent of tho strosts of Now York ; the hall lacked suitablo furninh- ings, and there was an inappropriatoness about overything that was unplessant to-contemplato. TThe costumos Wero in- better koeping, and per- haps as accurato 08 .thoy ' could be mado with conyenience and propristy. But tho Romans ware about the poorost’ representatives of the anclont Italinns as could easily be fonnd, and, toadd to tho unroality and discomfort, they wore all painfully awaro of their imperfections, oand utterly umablo to assume charac- tors 8o uttorly foroi to tholr matures, It would be invidious to spocify where it could not bo snid that any ono did well, The declams- tion of Mr, Lanagen is ontirely unsuited. to statoly dialoguo, Ho spoko his linies a8 if he bad-somewhers ifi his head a resorvoir of words, and only nooded to oppn his mouth to have them come tumbling from his' jaws without ordor or coherence. ~ Mr. O'Neil finds it hard to be pathotic without bain;i maudlin, and AMr, Pondloton seomed mora lilts o partially-intoxi- oatod sorgonnt of militin in his night-dross than like o Roman General, Tho acting of Mr, Booth was the only excop- tion to the genoral dull tediousnoss. His simu- Iation of the fool in tho carller acts was most admirably. dono, although, in his onrnest intér- vals, he scemed not to have that quiot solf- possession aud repose of mannor which has always beon magnetio with audiences, and kept them with hirg until the ond. As the play pro- grossed ho roso hl[;her and highor, untll ho yoached tho truo level of tlo lofty mood of the character of Brutus, which is one of the most herolo in history. The pecullar excollonces of Mr, Booth’s acling are too well known, and kave boen ‘too often analyzed in-' our golumns to, recolve comment horo, We cannot, however, but think that thoy aro losa pronouno- ed than in any other plays in his lst, If the eritio uuderstood the foclings of all intolligent suditors last ovening, they shared in this opin- ion, and thoir verdict on this play, as presonted, ‘was not that of approval. .
