His heaith is o far restored that ke will basbleto take part in the business of the extra sossion. - Judge Poland has sent tho ten shares of dis- owned Credit Mobilier stock that wero bandied ehoit between Kelley and Ames to United States Treasurer Spinner, who is to sell them, with se- comutated dividends, for the bonofit'of the con- fgcience fund of the Treasury. S ¢ Separate conventiona of Democrats snd Liber- als are in session at Cincinnati to nmnlnulf can~ Gidates for the Constitntional- Conventiod 2nd: city offices.

Dufferin, of Caneds, has informed ¢he Dominion Parliament that work may -bo bogun-st once on the enlargement of the Welland Cansl, and tho construction of fhe Buie Verte Canal. ‘Ground will be broken on the St. Lewrence Canal next spring, snd these three grest works will thus be completed st the same time.

Tho President of tho, Personal Liberty Leaguo is stated to be at Springfield exerting himeolt to procure somo relazation in the regulations of tho liquor The *two-mill tax” lovied by the State for the support of the public schools is opposed by the Honse Committce on Education, who report in favor of its sbolition. The arguments trged against it in debate, s far as they can be gatli- ered from the dispatches, were, that 2 per cent | of the tax was lost in the collection, and 2 per cont Fent to the Superintendent.

" The Southern papers ars tgain discussing tho formation of one or more new States ont of por-. tions of existing States.

X - The New York> Tyibune predicts, after. care- folly canvassing the field, that there will be a cenewal of the labor-strikes in New York City during the coming summer. If this ehall prove 0 Do true, the mania will extend more or less to other cities of this country. Fortunately for Chicago, the rebuilding has progressed so far, end the city hes 80 large s number of workmen in all trades, that strikes will hardly be attempt- £d here, or, if attempted, will prove more un- auceessfol than usual. . This morning Tax TRIBUNE- prints s map and 1 deseription of suother’ railrosd ~connoction <hich 23ds o the web in which Chicago catches o trade of the -Mississippi Valley. The: Missouri, Kansss & Texss Rallvey . opens direct communication to this city with the rich Bouthwest, and ‘connects with the Bouthern Pacific Railway, the railway eystem of Texss, which, by theand of: 1878, will have 2,000 miles of frack, and ‘with’| 2hat of Mexico, which, under the adminjstration, of Lerdo de Tejade, js building railroads to con- by the Legislature if he voted agsinst the scheme. - The ‘voto waa then taken, and, asa natursl result of this disclosure, was [defeated. The letter which the Hon. Mr. James Brooks sent to the Board of Directors of the Union Pa~ cific Railroad was s characteristic document. ‘8o long ns there wap danger that Mr. Brooks might be expelled from Congress, ho went about hang- ing his head, growing pale, heaving great sighs, and otherwise conducting himself in & manner . to attract-tho sympathy of his fellow-members, and the commiseration of the newspaper-report- ors and the publio they could reach. Bat, now that the danger of expulsion is passed, Mr. Brooks proclaims aloud. his intention of serving in tho mext Congress and drawing his in- creased pay, of voting for the Pacific Railroad on every fature occnsion that prosents itself, and of making himself as conepicuous as if Lo had received a vote of thanks instead of a voto of censure, The Peace Commissioners have atlasl suc- ceeded in having an interview with Capt. | Jnck; Shack-Nasty Jim, Scar-Faced Charlie, and | others of tho Modocs, who have made. tlieir country so hot for the white sottlers, and the result has not proved satisfactory. The object of the Commissioners, and the ‘only object as it sppearod, is to induce them to remove to their resorvation. As this was alao the object, and the only object, of the military forces sent” to tho lava-bed, why in the name of all that is sen- sible don’t the military accomplish their busi- ness? How much longer is this Peace Commis- sion farce to bo- allowed to go on? If-there isn't power enongh in the United States to re- move thishandful of Modocs: and-¢ompel them £0 go where they have been ordered to go, then both military and’ Pesce Commissioners ‘had betier bo removed, 8o that the Modocs can be left fres to reatme their pillago and murder. “Tiie first and only warelouse fizw in Chicago which-complied with the Railroad and Wn.re_bonsn Iaw by takiing out a liconse isnowto b ub- | jocted to prosecution. - It is notable, however, that this- prosecution- rests-on the very ground which forided thé principsl ‘objection of the other warehousemen--to the law.-/ -If it had not- ‘been for that portion of 'thé law - fixing & max- fmum of charges, it is probable thatall of tho warehonsemen would have taken - oat licenses. The firm of B. M. & O. S. Hough, baving taken with tho terms of the lsw, subsequently gave ‘notice that they womld make the same charges as the other warchousemen of Chicago, and these are in oxcess of tho rate established by tho statute. ~A prosecution against’ the firm on this grouad would virtually be the same thing 25 the suits bronght sgainst the. other firms “yho refused to take ont a license under the law. The atter suits are still pending. ; o it SN _The militis-men of New Orleans dispersed {Vednesdsy afternoon, in obedience to the orders of Gen. Emory, and the peaco of the city Las not since been broken. The confliots of that day occurred solely between the McEnery mili- tia and the Motropolitan Police, and have not _been -yenowed, mor hss any collision taken place botween .the Dnited States troops' aad the éitizens. The police have taken possession of the' 0dd-Fellows Hall, where tho McEnery | Legislatare -meet, 'and" arrested tho Bpealer and several members of the Legislature.who were there. In answer to o formal inquiry from Gov. -McEnery, Gen. Emory states that tho seiznro_snd arfests wero mado without Lis imowledge or authority, and that he baa .no opinion to express shout them ; but that héis under instructions ffom Weshington to defend tho Kellogg Government from any violent inter- ference. If this was an act of that Government, snd thero is aby atterapt to moet it by forcs, ho will oboy his orders. 2 . Tho. Chicago produco markets woro fairly ne- tive yesterdsy, and gonerally stronger. Mess “pork was ‘in good demsnd, and T}§@10c per brl higher, closing st $14.80@14.85 cash, 'and $14.473¢@14.50 seller April. * Lard was dull and 2 shado easier at $7.85@7.87}¢ per 100 Ibs. cash, 8nd $7.95@8.00 seller April.

Cattle wero 2c- tive at unchavged prices, Thcrg wps a moderate demand for sheep at £3.25@5.50, : The recent statement of Mr. Gladstone to Parliament. on the Irish University question has created s profound impression thronghout both England and Irotand. Hismeasuro involyos the ‘soparation of Trinity Colloge from the Tniver- sity of Dublin; the separation of the theological faculty of Trinity College from Trinity Colloge, and its transfer o tho' Disestablished Church; the abolition of all texts in Trinity College; the | incorporation of the University of Dublin and its pmment by & council of .iwenty-eight members; the affiliation of three or four other colleges to the Tnirersity ; the .endowment, of this". University with - £60,600- per sonum, and the establishment” of u'stsl of pro-. ] -academical Eubi; out their license and filed their bond to comply | in Dublin. Tho London Spectaior thus states the objections which are likely to arise: “Itis obvious that the critical points of this measure with the Trinity College party will be tha teking away from them the degree-giving power, and the handing it over to the new body,—which they will dislike, as likely to lower the standard of grada- ation; and with the Catbolic party, the long time that must elapse before the Catholic gradu- stes gein anything liko political equality in the ‘new University, snd tho endowment of & new mixed teaching body, which they will bo iriclined to look upon with joalousy s establishing a fresh centre of competition with their own sem- inarios. We do not seo how oither party are to. ‘make much of their objections.” The Bloomington Pantagraph is disposed to hold the Supremo Court responsible for Raffer- ty's two cscapes from conviction. It says: Our State Constitution has expresaly made the Su- logg Government by foce, and that force in- cluding the entiro army and navy of tho United States, submission becomes a nocessity, though tho employment of that forco doss not confer cither legality or honesty on the Kellogg Govern- ment, nor chinge its fraudulent and usurping character. - s ST THE- 010 RIVER COMMERCE. The River and Harbor bill passod by the late Congress exceods in its enormity any of the pre- ‘vious jobberies execntod under that title.. It, of “Courde, provides for tho completion of the Louis- ville & Portlana Canal.” > The Board of Trade, and other commercial bodies of Cincinnati, somo threo years ago, represented to Congress that there were some forty or fifty milions of dollars capital Wwating” to ' be invested in firat-class _stearaors, but this canal was unable to give them ' pussage £ and from Cincinnati. Since then; Con. gress haa appropristed money enough to enlarge preme Judges themselves tho guides to: point out to }»the canal, but. tho' steam commcrce has not the Legislature its duty in thia respect: |, = 44 Tle Judges of the Supreme Court shall, on ar bo- foro the first day of Jauuary of each year, report i writing to the Governor such defects and omnissions in tho Constitution and lsws as they may find to exist, together with appropriate forms of bills to cure such defects and omissions in tho laws."—Art, 6, Sec. 31. ‘The Supreme Court has no knowledge of the facts of any case, except o8 the samo appear on the record presented to it. If that record shows that a man has been ¢onvictod and’ sentenced, and that the caso was taken up to the Supreme Court; and that (according to the record) while that case was pending ho was again tried, con- | victed, and sentenced, the difficulty prosented is bardly a defect or omission in the law, to bo xo- ported to the Legislature, but o defect in the intelligence or ability of tho law officer which cannot be cured by act of legislation. Had the record in tho Rafferty case showed that the first conviction. had been set asido, and that the Bupreme Court had roturned the case for further proceedings by (he Court beldw, all of whick was as essential as the indictmont itself, thero would havo: been no trouble in the case. = It the Legislature should provide for the summary removal of . prosecuting attornoys guilty of & negligent or ignorant performance of their duties, something of tho evil of a failare to execute the criminal law might be avoided.” Thera are likely to be some complications ‘in the matter of tle division of the extra puy voted by Congress to the mombersof the Forty-second Congress. Thera aro several cases of unearned dividends, For instance, Gov. John L. Beveridge, of Illinois, waa-not elected to Con- gross until November, 1871, eight months after ‘the extra pay begius to run, and resigned Jan. 1, 1873, two months bofore the expirition of his term, He will be entitled to four months extra pay in one year, and ten months in the second yoar. Mr. Perry, of Cincinnati, resigned in “August, '72; Mr. Prooks, of Massachusetts, | sbout the same time. Gov. Washburn, of Maasachusetts, in December, 1671 ; Judge Mercar, of Pennsylvanis, in December, 1872 Cook, of Tlinois, in 1871 Al of these werd stic- *| ceeded by other persons, and the extra pay will have to be dividéd smong them. For instance, Mr. Snapp, of Jolict, can- only draw the extra pay from his election in November, 1871.. Three ‘mombers died during the term, and their heirs will be entitled to the extra pay. In the case of Delargo, of Sonth Carolins, who was unseated aborit ton days before tho close of Congress, it is & question. whethor he will be entitled to the extrs or not. ‘Mr. Walls, of Florids, was _unseated sbout two weeks ago, snd Mr. Niblack déclared to have béen duly elected. Walls drew pay up tothe time he was put out ; Niblack will draw pay for the whole two years, but whether ‘both will have the exira §5,000 is 5 question. ' It is & fact worthy of moto, that the majority of those voling for this extra payin the House ‘were men who bad not been re-olected. - In their case it looked Iike an nndoubted grab, THE CASE OF LOUISIANA, The failure of Congress to take any sction respecting affairs in Louisiana haé naturally re- sulted in violence and bloodshed. - -Thero are two State Governments in oporation in” Louisi- #na. One owes its existence to Judge Darell's degrae, and tho bayonets of Federal troops; the ather, to anelegtion by the people. A committes of seven Republican Senators, consisting of | Mesars. Morton, of Indiana; Carpenter, of Wis- constn ; Hill, of Georgia; Alcorn, of Mississip-" pi; Logan and . Trumbull, of Mlinois;and Anthony; of Rhode Island, have investigated the whole matter, and have rpported that-the~ zction of Judge Durell was, from beginning to end, & gross naurpation, unprecedented in judi- cial history, and -utterly void and fraudulent. This was the unanimous report of - the Senate Committos. Yel the Kellogg Government was called into existence by the decrees of Durall, and placed in‘possession of the State offices by militery force,—the using of which force the samo Committes declare 5 unanimously to have boen unauthorized and ecandalons. o Tho President having, in tho first instance, ordered thé troops to execnte Durell's docrecs, has refased to withdraw his military protection to the Durell-Kellogg Government unless Con- gresa should 8o direct, and Congress -wasted 80 ch time over the Agricultural College and the” -6a50-0f-Salary bills that it had not time fa legialate for Louisisna. The two Governments have, therefore, come into collision. * Tho Kl logg Government has arrested and imprisoned the membera of the Legislature of tho other .Government, snd where the contest will ‘end:to one can tell. In tho meantime, tbo!’xesinaét; further enforcément of Darell's decrees, h: ordered Gen. Emory to protest the ellogg Gov-~ eroment, and to maintsin it as tho . Government: of tho State of Louisizns. g ' Qongress has adjourned leaving this question. undetormined. The President proposes to be governed by Durell’s judicial orders; Dureli only issues temporary orders which cannotibe ap- pealed from or reversed ; Genoral Emory obeys | the President, aad the peoplo of Louislzns havo B slternative but to submit to what the Benate Committee deolare the most unexsmpled’ fraud sndontrage, or put themsclves in hostility fo the military authority of the United Btates. ‘There {5, of course, but one choice. Submis- sion, not to Kellogg, but to the Federal authori-* ty, is all that isleft them. They must wait for redress until Qongress meets again, or such cir- | gumstances arise: as will permit_judicial interferonce. So notorions s Durell's usurpation that his impeschment and cogviction are mers questions Of time.” The good eange of the people will, how- ever, work & more effectusl revelution against the Eellogg despotism than can ever be accom- plished by & useless conflict of arms, - We have hed enough of war, and, though tho Kellogg Government is sustained by the arms of Nation- a1 troope, it is mone the less a frand, a usurpa- tion, and an outrage upon fres government. The Pregident baving resolved to maintain the Eel- got under way yot. 'Congress hias' voted about.a million and's half directly, and a8 much more indirectly, and has authorized the Secretary of tho Treasury to take possession of tho canal and runit. Would it not have boen better to have placed it under thé chargs of that bold navigator, the’ Becretary ‘of the Navy? Heretofore the toll for passing throngh the canal was 50 cents pér ton on steamboats. The canal is about tiwo miles long, and the toll on an ordinary" river steamboat of 800 tons amounted to $400 each way.' ‘The result was, that the fow first-class boats now-on the Okiig River do not aicend the river above Portland, nor go below Louisville. The laat Bivor and Harbor bill makes it the duty of the Becrétary. of the Treasury,upon fakiog ‘possession of this work, fo reduce the tolls on the fifty millions of Cincinriati capital invested in tho hew first-class steamers to 25 cents 'por ton of the vessel. This will reduce tho chargo. for a steamboat passing throngh the canal, from _$400 to 82001 {ax which seems enormious to the people who enjoy tho free navigation of the ‘skes. Wo'ato afraid'thistax is still top high to encotrage capital to build whole navies for ‘the’ commeéree of the Ohio River.- It is questionable Leven if this rato of toll ‘will produce’ enongh ‘revenue-. to keep . the - cinal i 'ropair, and it is just for thib reason that the canal has Decome an object of national interest. It Go- gress were to offer to make a free gift of the ‘canal to Kenfucky or, Ohio, or fo:both States, or to Oincinnati- and Louisville, or o’ any private corporation’ or individual, on condition to keep ‘it in repsir and opérate it, the offer -wonld be refused. The commierce, present and prospegtive, is not so promising s to warrant that it will pay expenses, oven at the high rate 0£$200 & boat each 'way. The canal, there- fore,” "5 to “bocome " an. annual ~charge Tpon the ‘country, - just- like -the: apFicul- tursl “and eduiational - establishments, the bug museum, ‘and the cabinet’of.stuffed reptiles. haveit. It won't psy expenses; and will b for-. ‘everout of repair. The immense capital that hag ‘been’ waiting twonty’ yenrs to"have that canal | enlarged will not now accept the.completed job on condition of keéping it in' ‘suficient repair to adinit the emiployment of the great: commercial navyit has been: waiting'to put afioat. - It ‘may be comforting to.some people, however, to know thiat the millions put into this canal might' have gone into something else no better. THE 'rmom FINANCIAL. CONSPIRACY. Recont cable di!pn;abes sonounced that the sometimes known as the Transcontinental Mem™ phis & Pacific Railroad, and sometimes as tho Southern Confinental Railroad,—hsd been fized for trial before the Criminal. Tribunal of Paris on the 4th inst., and that Gen. Fremont with six others had been indicted and cited to appesr to answer the charge of swiadling varions persons by the fraudulent “issne of worthless bonds of this 16ad, amounting to &ix millions of dollars. ‘Close upon the hecls of this announcement comes s rumor from Washington' that procesd- ings areaboutto bo instituted sgainst Gén. Fremont by the Union Pacific Road; and that s cable'dispatch has been sent from Paria to’ the agent of the Company asking to have the ‘suit commenced. The latter'statements, as far 28 they concern suits in this. ‘country, are highly problematical ; but the French suitis s fact of tho first consequence, and when. thorongh- ly - investigated -will bring out s swindle fully “equal . to “the Credit’ Mobilier | i the extent of its operations, aid the corrupt character of thoso Who manipulated the eale of the bonds.. A correspondent of the New York~ Herald, who waa'in Paris . the'time the bonds werae.put on the market,: farnishes some inter- esting facts,’ shiowing how, this’ grand financial corispiracy was mansged. The first advertiso- ments whid -appeared’ in. the' Patis -papers. were wriften, .of - course, in ' thé sirongest torms, and set forth the advantages of Mem- “phis & El Paso in ‘the ‘most glowing mangor. This was in thie summer of 1869 The adver- tisements stated that the bcnds were a first mortgago on all-the lands. ceded to the rcad, * gmounting to 10,240 acres per mile, of 300 acres to overy £1,000 bond, and 30 acres to every €100 bond,” - The bonds were offered at 410 fravics, or sbout $82, for every $100- bond, paya-_ ble in 1890, at 515 francs, or°$103; - Six per cont {nterest was said to be guaranteed by the United_ Btates Government, and bondholders at that time, whict ¥as*in May, were entitled to the’ July coupon.

J.: Paradis, one of the officers of the French Bourso, | In Some manner the favor of ‘tho Government was obtained, and, 25 the entire press, was sub- sidized, it was impossible to expose the awindle, - althongh many Americans in Paris krew it to be s swindle. . An Englsh circular was issued with rosardts if; but, being printed in English, it did 10: largely reach tho French. The few French- men whodid discover the- fraud and publicly denounce it iwere” soon. silericed by libel suits, which at the same time seoured fresh time 161 the bonid-operators fo expedite’ their sales, sod the bouds were thus rapidly disposed of, Tro firat discovery of the fraud came out in § report made: by the late Benator Howard, of Michigan, on the bill to incorporate *the South- em Tranegontinental Railway Company,” which, o1 the maps engraved for Parls uae, sirptchod oo Norfolk, Va., to S2n Diego, Cal., with con: mctions with numerous rosds aiready construct- el. According to Benator Howard's report, £3,000,000 of thesg bonds veres0ld '{n Paris a} §) per cont, thus realizing, at that rate, $4,800,» 010 to those engaged in the conspiragy, ‘These facts show that while'Oskes Ames and ‘[ bis associates were making snug fortunes out of Yo corruptions of Credit ol Sont and his sssocisted waro in Parig er, John C.

We await now, with_some interest, the proceedings of the French Court, to 806 how French justice will be administered. It is poculiarly aggravating in this case, that not ‘only was & direct swindle perpetrated upon the Parigians, but the operation has serionsly affect- ed tho American name in France, and will make the negotiation of American sccurities a mattor of oxtreme difficulty hereaftor. Tt will bé pecus listly grateful’ to those who know the Grest American Adventurer best if tho procesdings in * the Fronch courts expose him in his real char- scter, and dissipate forover the extraordinary . illusion which poople have had in rogard to this ‘gilded humbug. i COUNTY JAILS. The report of tho State Board of Charities and Correction for this SBtate contains one recom- ‘mendation that is entitled to serious considera- tion. It concerns the reformationof the (fonnty Jail system. If the character of the County Jail of Chiesgo for the past few years may be accept- ed a4 s sample of those of the State generally, the medessity for reform in this particular is_ more ‘urgent than-any other, in our system for the treatment of criminals. It has been s matter :of comimon notoriety for yesrs that the Connty Jail of Cook Countyis but littleremoved from the condition of a Hog-pem, to which has been 2ddod tho moral filth gonerated by bad whisky There i8 no way to get ‘rid of :it. * Nobody will | caso,of the Memphis & El Psso bond frauds,— “tontiary; that they shomld provide.. useful and the close associstion of tho different varie- tiés of moral degradation. - It has been claimed by thoso in charge that it was impossiblo for them to keep the jail -in any better condition than it hias présented. This isFard to believe ; but, if true, 50 far_ as the noisome atmosphere and filthy surronndings are_concerned, it is cer- tainly not trise in regard to the disgracefal con- duct of the inmates. - This has been rather en- couraged by, practices’ which it is mot neces- sary to recount in detail. It is certain, hovwever; that ‘the system itself i large- Iy responsible when it admits of tho abues that havo cropt mto the Caok County Jail. This view.of the'mctter is also confirmed: by the circumstance that other. jails throughout: the State, which do not have thé same démands pon their capacity, are found in- pretty much the same condition. . . - ;! " fThe rémedy proposed by the Board of Chari~ tiewand Correction - is % *broad ore. I is the abolition of the entire systom of County Jails, ae conducted at present. ‘The’ objections, which extond equilly to all of them, aro: That the prisoners are in conctant _contact with one ancther, without . any ~usé- ful employment. of . their ' time; that 1dle associations of thiskind cannotfail tode- ‘velop criminlity ; (hat the punishient of con- finement is thus deprived of its main purpose of “proventing the recurrence of:criminal acts by the roformatlon of the imprisoned; aud, finally, that tho samie jails areused for detsining’ those Wha await their'trials, and who' may be innocent ‘met ind those who have beén éonvicted and ar Xept in prison as » punishmont. It is this-last feature in particular which has.induced the Boaid of Charities and Corréction to suggeat the - establishment of District Prisons, as & soct of intermediate atation between the County Jail #nd’ the Penitentiary, and the discontinuance of sentencing convicted criminals to the CountyJail 18 & punichment: - Such & change” would leave Gounty Jails 05 s mere place of detention, re- lieve them of their present crowded condition, and afford nio excuse for any of the abnses that must prevail soloag as the convicted and un- triod, the guilty aud the {presumsbly innocent, are mixed up indiccriminately. The. County. Jails could then be kept in’ order and cleanli- ness. The Board- think that, for the present, two District Prisons—one in the northern part of the State, and the other in the southern— would beufficient for the demsnds that would be misde upon them. Hers is whorsthe minor offend- ‘ers would be consigned, -thus keeping- them away from the influence of the clssses more'ad~ ‘yaticed in crime, who are sent ‘to "tho Peniten- tiary, and ‘also saving the 'unconvicted persons in the County Jails from the ¢ontamination of - their society. It is suggosted that thess District Prisons should be condricted on the same general plan as the Peni- employments for the criminals ; that they ehould bo in chargo of experionced-and honorable men, .
