B. B, QRAIN-INSPECTION BY THE STATE. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Brm: There ia n strong effort boing mado, by & fow interestod porsons, to repeal tho law of April, 1871, by which the inspection of grain in this city was takon from the control of the Board of Trade, and placed nndor the jurisdiction of the State, The gontlomen ongaged in this move- mont are publishing long communications in the daily pross, prodicting mnothing but ruin to tho grain-trade, and bankruptoy to those engaged in it, unloss the law Is repcaled, and tho manago- ment of tho grain-inspection mada torevert back to tho Board of Trade. They seom to forget tho fact that the Board had complote control of tho inspeotion fora poriod of twolve or fourteon yoars § ond that, under its mauagoment, tho systom went from bad to worse, until alargo wnjorily of the Board, and the entire producing olagsog of the Waest, hailod with pleasuro tho ag- sumptlon of Its control by the Btate.

Bat tho Board of Trado was not alwayn successful in solocting an oxport to fill tho position of Obief Grain Inspoctor. I con recall but one inetanco whore an oxport wag sppointod by tho Bonrd, sud ho was go timid in tho prosonco of warchousemon® as to rendor his oxporiouco of little value to the trado, If, na" aesortod, tho prosont inoumbont ia not an anm, ho s chosen for assistant a gentloman who 13 an export, and that is o deolded improvemant on the management of tho Board. Up to tho day the maggntlnn waa talion from- tho managoment of tho Board of Trado, dishon- ns? flourished in many of the grain warohousos, and tho Directora of the Board were, indireotly, acoessorios to it. In 1805, thoy entorod into an ooment with tho warchonao anprl«zora, by which no man porsonally objootionsble to the warchousemen should bo np&oimed 88_an In~ spoctor, and, when an unobjectionablo individual was sooured, it was furthor stipulnted that ho “ghould not communicate any facta touching tho condition of grain in atore to lnszomon othor than the m&mfiar of tho houso which ho was ungngod, or tho Ohiof Inspector.” This agroomont soaled tho lips of tho Inspectors, and mado thom subjoct to the warchousomon.

Bo far from ‘infloxible standards in gradivg grain being an objection to tho presont system, tho nocoerity f6r infloxibility was folt and strongly urged in favbrof the 'Iaw at the timo of its pas- eago. .Tho Board of.
