And for The Chicags Tribune, Thuraday Morning, March 13, 1873, Nothing new has come out in tho Caldwell case, except that Sonator Tiogan, who is a mom- bor of the Committos on Elootions, and at first coneurrod in its report against Caldwell, now fissents, and argues that tho Bonator's seat cannot bo taken away. The bill to suable women to hold school offices in this Stato has passod the Houso, by » voto of 101 to 80. Womon have been refused {lio right to vote and hold offico in Massachu- setts by the Lowor Housd of tho Leglelature of thnt Btato, Tho Railroad Committees of the Legislature xra still invoutigating in joint session the quos~ tion of rallroad charges and discriminations, and yostordny listened to o continuation of tho argumonts of the officinls of tho Chicago, Bur- lington & Quiney and Iliinoie Contral Roads, An inquiry is to bo made by the Judiciary Committoo of tho Bonate whethorthe Union Pa- cific Road or any of its branches are entitled to bonde for any track they may lay hereafter, Tho Committeo roport noxt December, and, mosnawhile, the Government is roquested to withhold any bonds or certificates to thoso roads. Mombers of Congress from this Btate who voted for increasing thoir own ealarics have been cousured by tho Housa of Ropresentatives at Springfiold, Tho voto stood 103 to 4; and of thoso four two votod ngainst consure only be- cause it did not jucludo the Irosidont, whom they thought equally blamable. When tho Peacs Commissionere, according Lo sgreomont, went to the Poiut of Rocks to moat the tamb-like Modocs, and load them captive to hendquarters, they found the Indians had flod. It is believed thoy have succeodod in getling Into one of tho oracks of tho mountain rogion, east of their lava bods, where for alundred milos no cavalry can peuotrate, and that they will reach the Pilot River country, which is full of cattlo, ‘The Feaco Commissioners havo fled Intho opposito direction, disgusted with thofr own diplomacy, Cov.

Tke quostion whothor womon are oftizens of tho Unitod Btatos, undor tho dofluition of the Fourtoonth Amondmont which says that citi- zens aro * all porsons born or naturalized in tho United Btatos, and subjoct to the juriediction thoroof,” has boen brought bofore the Supremo Court of the United States by Mrs, Myra Brad- woll, of this city, Mrs. Bradwell has sucd tho Stato of Illinois for refusing to allow hor to practico Iaw. This she cloima to bo a violation of the Fourteonth Amondment, undor which sho is a citizen, and which forbids any Stato to abridge the privilegos of o citizon, Tho argu- mont has boon closod, and tho declsion of tho Court i daily expected. — No groat importance Is attached to the rosult of tho Now Hampshiro olection, It was gonor- ally oxpected that the Ropublicans would carry tho Btate, and recovor two, if not threo, of tho sents jn Congross which thoy loat two years ago, snd which, on tho basia of last year's vote, thoy should have carriod, It appoars from tho latost roturna roceived that thoro has beon no eloction of Stato officors by the pooplo—that the Ropub- licans have carried the Loglslature, which prac- tically givea thom tho Btato offices—and that the Domocrata hiavo ro-cloctod their throo Con- grossmen. This would indicato that tho poople of New Hampshire aro satisfled with Ropublican rule at Concord, but not equally satisfied with Ropublican rule at Washington, In declining the Presidency of tho Ohio Btate Agrioultural Socioty, which bad been tondered him, ex-Sonator Pattorson, of New Hampshire, moroly gaid : “ I donot feel at present like tak- ing upon myself o groat a task.” fu referring to thio mattor in their roport, tho Trustoes smy : The Presidency of our Institution was first offerod to a distinguished citizen of Qhio, and afterward to a gentloman from another State, of scholarly attainmonte, largo experionco in odu- cation and tho conduct of public affairs, and of tho most undeniable qualifications for the placo, with an unblomished reputation, and a character for Integrity and honor as fair aud pure as that of any man in tho Union, so fur as was known at the time the Board cffered him the position. Binca then, however, ciroumslances rendered his appointmentimpolitio and {mprope: The Massachiusotts Railrond Commissioners in their roport statod, as a fact, that arrango- monts had boen made for & supply of coal to all Now England, direct from tho Pennsylvania mines; that this coal was to be taken to various .points in New England and thero storod, and farnished thence to the factorles in conveniont qupntities. It was expooted that this would hayo the effect of greatly roducing prices, as the coal in every case would be furnished to the mining, company. This sypply of coal is, of course, to depend on water navigation; that is, to be conveyed from the mines {o tidowater, and thonce by vessel to all the ports of Now England. It is now farthor proposed to roviva the scheme for s railroad from the mining regions of Ponnsylvania to Port Jorvis on the Erie Road, and thence to Newburg on tho Hudson, and thenco by the Bos— ton, Martford & Erio Railway, It is proposed, also, to connect this road with tho Ponnsylvania Toud at Lowistown, Mifilin County, thus sccurs ing another through railroad route from Boston to Chicago. The Chicago prodyce markets wore quiet yos- tordny, and most breadstuffs woro lower. Moss pork was quiet, and be per bri highor, at 814,30 @14.85 cash, snd $14.40@14.4550llor April.

The loeation for this oxhibition might bo fixed in Don:born Park, whoro the great Santtary Tair waa hold, This anuaro of ground in usoloss for park purposos, In Iargo onough for tho proponod oxhibition, I contral, end In every way desirabla, 'I'ho othor ontorpriso s mors liko the anuual falrs of St. Louis, nnd is to fucludo live stoclk and several dopartmouts of sgrioulturo and industry, Tho location in viow for this pormanont oxhibition is Doxtor Parlk, at tho Union Btock Yards. It would bo unfalr to Ohicago, howovor, to confuso olthor projoct with n World's Tair, which Chicago may organizo somo day, buton n senlo commensurato with {ts reputation for great ontorpriso and mag~ nificont successon. e er—— Tho Mint and Coinago bill which prased both Houges at the ,recont mession of Congrons 1s ono of moro than usunl importanco, as it com- plotoly chauges the silver colungo of tho country from and aftor tho 1ut of April next. Tho now dollar, or trade dollar, as it is called, haa no con- nection with the rost of the United Statos coin- nge, but i only to Loissued to depositors of bull~ fonon their order. It iato Lo 000 points fine, to wolgh 420 graing, and will bo worth flve conts moro than tho gold dollar, two conts moro than tho silver dollar, aud ono cent more than tha Moxican dollar, It will havo its woight and fine- ness stamped upon it, and will be much supo- rlor in workmanship to the Moxican dolar. Bhould it take tho fancy of the Chinoso, our minors will moke an advanco of at lonab % pOr CONL In tuule BOver I supplying thom with the trado dollars. Tho now law also adopts the French standard of weight for all silvor colns loss than ono dollar, Tho weight of two hnlf-dollars is fixod at twon- ty-fivo grammos,—oqual to the five-franc pleco,— an increaso of about half por cont, which placos our silver colnage on a par with that of the cur- ront silvor-coinage of Franco, Spain, Italy, Bwitzorland, and most of tho Bouth Amorican States. Tho ostablishmont of the trade dollar has grown out of tho fact that the silver dollar hithorto bag failed to roplaco tho Mexican dollar, which is worth two cents moro, with tho Chineso. A rocont alteration of the stamp on the Moxican dollar has disgusted tho Chincso with it, and Congrosa hag seized the opportunity to make s dollar for them which is worth one cont moro than tho Moxican dollnr. ——— THE MONEY MARKET, The condition of the local monoy markot is shown, by the bank roports published yosterday, to bo materially improved. The doposits of the Dbanks, upon which their power to lond money principally deponds, have increased 3,081,843 sinco tho 27th of Decombor; and, accord- ingly, wo find that their loans have incroased 1,360,000, All this has boen brought about without the nddition of a dollar to the volume of tho currency, and this fact itself shows howutter- ly idle it in to clamor for more groonbncks to enso tho monoy market. Tholato financial stringoncy, which was porhaps tho movercst known sinco the crash of 1857, commenced about tho middlo of Octobor last, The bank deposits, which aro an infallible indox of tho condition of tha money markot, roprosonting, ne they do, circulating proporty, or, in othor words, the stato of trado, amounted, on the 8d of Octobor, to 97,898,005, On the 27th of Docomnber they had fallon to “day, aro vory tomporato and commendable. Thoy ehiow that there is n sonse of justico por- vading tho agricultural community, and that thia sonso will bo host answored by inventigating bo- fora loglulating, Mr, Harris, roprosonta n raflroad whoss man- agomont s beon gonorally in high repute. Tho condition of the road, tho steady valuo of the utock, and tho absonco of any Wall siroot com- ptications In fte nffuira attost this, IMonco Mr. Iarrls' ovidonco is worthy of impartial consid- oration, ITo aflirme that his road, and probably tho rallronds gonorally, Liavo no disposition to troat tho publio unfairly, Ho statos plainly that the Burlington & Quincy Road has never undertakon fo do busmosa st & loss, but ho olaims that an obsoluto ro- duction of one-sixth on its prosent charges would destroy ita capital, Tho oxponsos of run- ning & roflroad, both Mr, Harrls and Mr, Nowoll aflirm, absorbs 66 por cout, or two-thirda of the grasa recolpte, loaving one-third to pay the in- torost on tho bonds and to apply to dividonds, To tako nway onc-gixth would therefore bo to re- duco this margin one-half, or to loave baroly onough to pay the intorest on the bonds and uothing for profits, Ho also contonds that the Btate Rmilroad Commissionors erred in fixing £26,000 & milo as the average sum which rail~ ronds should cost. It is not improbablo that they undorcstimated tho * shave,” which Mr, Harris claims {8 necosanry in the nogotiation of bonds, the yoar's oxtra interest paid to complota the ronds quickly, and the largo oxpeudituros for car-works, dopots, nnd rolling stook which must bo focluded in tho cost of n raflrond, Including those, Mr. Harrls bo- lloves that @46000 & milo more nearly roprosonts the averago cost of first-class. rail~ ronds. Mr. Harria did not stato what was tho actual cost of tho raflway which he manngos, and what tho profit earnod on aotual cost. Mr+ Nowoll stated that the onrnings of the Illinois Contral woro 8 per cont on tho cash investmont. 29,089,932, Thoy bave now rison again to $26,121,775, having reached vory noarly the nor- mal condition. Thero {8 every reason to heliove that tho hmprovement Wwill continue ufier tho oponing of lako navigation, and that tho finan- cial pightmaro of tho past five months will wholly alsappuar, unloss tha Troasury Depart- ment should put its oar im, by issuinga now lot of groenbacks, Last fall, the Becrotary of the Treasury issued sbout five millions of dollars of greenbacks in excoss of the proviously-oxisting amount, The whole amount originally authorized by law was four hundred millions, but as long ago as 1866 it was reduced to 856,000,000, at which point Congross dirooted that thd contraction should stop. Thero has beon no logal authority for any roigsue of the withdrawn currency. Tho nction of the Becrotary was taken upon thonakod as- sumption of authority to issuo tho wholo or any_ part of the rotired $14,000,000 af his discrotion, Tho Financo Committoe of the Benato investi- gated this matter, and roported that tho October issuo of a portion of this once retired curroncy was not suthorized by law. While they acquitted the Becretary of any improper motive in his action, thoy hold that tho exorcise of a doubtful authority by an oxocutive ofiicer, even for a creditable purpose, was improper in itself, and should not bo repoated. The Com- mitteo was strong in its judgmont that there was mo law nuthorizing tho Secrotary undor any circumstancos to Isauo avy part of that $44,- 000,000, Weo have now tho aunouncement that the Socrotary intends to issuo £3,000,000 of these greonbacks, The sssurance which is given that this is done solely for tho convanionco of the Troasury, with no designs upon the monoy~ ‘markot, and no intention of making any perma- nont inflation, will not sntisfy thoso who remom- Dor that Secrotary Boutiwell has nover renouncod his assumod right to issuo tho wholo reserve at will, If ho can issuo a part of the logal-tonder resdorva now, hio can issue the whole wheonover hie may think it advisable, That is to say, whonever bo thinks it advisable to disturb tho bueiness of the conntry, to altor tho pricos of commodities, to make Mr. A rich and Mr, B poor, and to pinch thoso who work for wages, lo will doso! In this view of tho case, if in no othor, Mr, Dout- woll's election to tho Bonato from Massnchusotts will bo viewed with eatisfaction. Auything which shall talco from his hands tho pondorous battoring-ram with which he claims the right to boat down thio commerao of the country muat Lo looked upon as & public blessing. THE RAILROAD INVESBTIGATION, Bomo progross hiae boen made at last in the railroad controversy in the appearauco, by in- vitation, of Buperintendent Harrls, of the Ohi- oago, Burlington & Quinoy Railroad, and Prosi- dent Nowell, of tho Iilinois Contral Railroad, be- foro a joint wossion of tho two Railroad Com- mittoen of tho Ulinols Legislature, This is pro~ oiiely tho way the Loglalature should have com- moncod—that ig, by hoarlng both sidos, That this dotermination has boon reached at last promises a spoedior and moro futolligont solu- tion of tho railroad problem than could have boen hoped for by lln{x\-lclg only ono sldo, It has certainly hoou to tho dotriment of the farmery that hiasty, inconsidorate, aud bungling logiala- }lnn hps boon adopted, for, Hmo has hoon lost Dby it and no practienl rosult attainod, Jtwould Do aqutaily almstrops (9 thom tohnva tho capital fuvosted in pallroads dostroyad, and fur« ther capltul dotorred from coming Inty o Btate by unjust and swoeoplig mensures. We assume that nobody dosires to bring about any such result as that. The resolutions adopt- od at the Farmers' Mootluz at I'axten, tho othor Nr. Carter, an ox-railroad Presidont, stated that thoro wore only four railroads in the Stato that aro paying any dividonds. Thogo roads, wo sup- pose, are tho Chicago & Rock Island; Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy; the Chicago & Alton, and the Illinojs Contral, Tho question of discrimination in ‘rates was tho most intoresting topio appronchiod 'in Mr. Harrie' statomont. Ho began by declaring hia willinguess to oporate his road on a tariff pro- pared by any man, or any comralltco of men, which would ennblo the road to make a reasona- blo profit. Ho testifies that ho hus sought aid from various gources to framo such & tariff, hut obtained only confusion worso confound- ed, This ig precigely what the Logislature has proposed to do hithorto, without any experionco or any trustworthy information abont tho mat- tor. The principal point to which Mr. Harris objects s that clauso of the law which would compel the rond to adopt for every curront year tha lowest rate which had ruled at any timo for any place during the provious yoar, entirely rogardless of circum- stancos which might affeob tho oxpenses, IHe confinos himsolf, howover, tothe factof competi~ tion to justify diseriminations. To take tho familiar cso of Loxington and Bloomington as an illustration : Tho Chicago, Alton & Bt. Louia Road has competition at Bloomington in & rond rumning dirsct to 'Toledo. In ordor to take away business from Chi- cago to Toledo, this road roduces rates balnw & living figure; 1n order to save its slaro of tho business, thn Ohicaco & Alton Road does the samo, Mr. Harris holds that the Chicago & Alton Road, in charging & highor rato to Lexing- ton, o shorter distance, is not unjustly discrimi- nating againas tho lattor town, but contends that it cannfford tomakobetter rates to Lexington by this means than it could by proportionately increasing the ratos uniformly to Bloomington, whereby it would lose all of the Bloomington business. In other words, tho loss of a large ‘business from junction points would force all rallronds to increaso thoir ratos to other points to make up the doficit. If; on tho othor hand, tho roads wero forcod to lowor their rates pro- portionatoly to intermodiate or non-competing points, it would be better for them to sacrific buildorr, who siated that if the tax on Iron and #tool and othor matorinl woro romoved, or re- ducod ono-hnlf, they could huild iron vessels for ocean commerco; and memorials from mor- ohants naking that thoy bo allowod to purchnso foreign-built vousols, or that foreign-built vossola ownod by then bo allowed to earry tho Amorlean flag, Thoro applications, nddressed to the pro- olao causo of tho doclino of Amorican phip- ping, did not rocelvo n hearing. Of tho sooros of billa proposed to rocover our lost commorco thoro wan but ono that had no subaldy in it, and that one, if passed, would have had ¢ho offect not only of gradually rostoring our atoamehip-bullding, but of placing the Ameriean flag on s largo number of steamors owned by Amoricans that are now compollod to aail under forolgn flaga. That bill was as followa : s enacted by the Senate and Houne of Repreenta- tivenof the United Staten af Ameriea in Congress as~ gembled, That nll law of Congress forbidding the pur~ chasa and enrollinont undor {he Amorican flag of for- olgn-butlt aliips, i1 80 far an rolates to vossols omplayed gololy in forelgu trade, bo heroby repealed, 80, 2.

Under it, all tho now closed ship-yards might bo opened. Tho onco colobratod works of New York for tho man- ufacture of marine ongines and machinery would again bo put In operation, The forges would bo rolightod and tho hemmora put in motion, Amorican steamors would bo lnuuoliod, sud our flag mado again familiar in forolgn ports. Dut this bill proposod nothing to divide; it granted 1o monopoly, croated no corporation, loaned no bonds, and gavo licenso to norobbery, It moroly took tho shackles off the Amorican #hip~ builders, and authorized thom to rosume thoir industry. It allowod them to purchase iron at Lomo or abroad whorever they could gotit chonpest. It roloased them from paying bounty of from $30 to $60 per ton for iron and stoel, oven upon their own tools and machinery; it recogmizod ship-building ne a lawful industry in which Amorican citlzons might ongago with- out being subjocted to a fino of an avorage of 876 por ton for overy stoamship thoy produced, It wont ovonfurthor : It allowod thoso Amarican citizons owning lines of ateamships doing busi- noss belween our ports and those of foreign countrios to placo at their masat-head the Amer- fcan flag, instead of that of Brazil, or San Do- mingo, or Groat Britain. But it was all in vain. No such bill could be sllowed to pass. Tho presont condition and progross of our foreign commorco is thus statod : From 1851 to 1861, tho averngo annual tonnage employed in tho osirying trade botwoon tho United Btates and foroign countrios was 18,189,485 tons, In 1872, it was 21,640,187 tons. This is what is now omployed, and it is far below tho actual neods. In 1860, this carrying trade was done: 65.38 por cont in Amorican vossols, and 8467 in foroign vesscls. In 1872, 65.67 por cont of it is dono in foroign vessols, and 84.83 in Amorican vosgola. Tho oarninga of this trade, in 1872, wero $116,453,000, of which £89,978,420 went to Americans, and the rest to forcignors. Had we tho business at junction points altogethor, wlich would lead eventually to an incroase of the rates to tho romaining stations, That unjust discriminations must be stopped within tho limits of thia Stateis, wo tako it, 4n un~ doniablo proposition. It s of courso impossible for tho Illinois Logislature to proscribo what may bo dono by the Ohicago, Durlington & Quinoy Railroad in Towa or Wisconsin, or by the Tlinois Central at Now Orleans. Dut &s to localitios in Tilinols, it Las beon decided by the Supromo Court that common carriors cannot dis- criminate betweon focalitics upon tho more ground of compotition. It has been decided that that was the law bofore the Logislature tried its hand on it at all. Now the quostion for the rail- roads to dotermino is whethor they will unitedly conform their business to this principlo, or havo tho Logislature and the courts do it for them, ‘They must do one or the other, OUR OCEAN TRANSPORTATION, During the last Congress thero were some thirty bills proposed having for their object tho rostoration of Amorican ship-building, but all of them, with a singlo oxcoption, carefully avoided tho only practicablo mode of obtaining the dosired rosult. It was conceded on all hands that tho only.renson for the decline in American ship-building was tho fact that the cost of tho materinls in this country preventod thoir uso; no ghip or stosmor built at such a cost could on« gage in profitablo business in compotition with chonper built vessels. It was proposod, there- forg, that tho United Statos should lend tho national credit, to varlous private corporations and individusls in sums ranging from $10,000,~ 000 to $20,000,000 to enablo such corporations to build stesmships to engage in foreign com- morco; and further, that the United Btates phould pay such stonmors aunually several mill- fons of dollars for carrying tho malls, whicly aro now carrlod withont cost to tho Governmont, "Phore wero Dills to ostablish stoamship lines, built ot the national expenso, to run to all parts of tho habitablo globe; from Californis to all yports in Ohina, Japan, Australia, aua Now Zoa- land; from Portland, Boston, New York, Nor- folk, Philadelphia, Savanual, Mobile, and Now Orloays to all pagts of Europe, and through the Buoz Canal lo Indla, Thoro wore othor bills proposing that the Govornment should jond its bonds to private companies “who should at tho public oxpenss buy coal and ivon minos; Duild navy-yards, manutaoture ivon, Duild stoaraors and machinery, and gonerally do the wholo ship-bullding businoss of tho country, Tharo Woro ollior hillls 2onialulng substautially $hio syine proposition, but iu varled formd, The ossential foplyro of back vig [het tho Qovern mont shiould advaice tho mangy to privaie dividuale.

While we might now compete with the world in iron ship-building as we formerly did in wooden ship-building, the law virtually prohibits ue from doing so.

Tho $1,200 chargo, standing by itsalt, fa » conilict of oaths, and involves porjury on the part of oithier Amon or Colfax. Tho good pooplo of South Bond will probably decldo tho conflict in favor of Mr. Colfax, whilo those of North Esston will probably decide In favor of Mr. Ames.

Boynton, & nowspapor correspondent, rogarding his connootion with Credit Mobilier. The roason why Mr, Colfax’s prevarigation has attractod more sttention from the pross than Mr. Wilson's is probably that Mr. Oolfax’s was more publicly proclaimed, and that ho has him- solf kopt it stirred more vigorously ¢han Mr Wilson. —— ‘Tho Bonatorial question fa boginning to loom up in Tonnessoo, Among the Republican nspi- rants aro Horace Maynard, Alfrod A.

Some yosrs ago several blocks in Now York City were laid with what was called *‘ Asphalt Pavement,” which, though compact and smooth at first, was so0n found to crumble into powdor and blow away in dry wosather, and turn into n black mud undor the action of a rain, This ex- porimont was suflicient to bring tho asphalt pave- mont Into disrepute in spito of the encomiums that wero pugsed upon tho softnoss, beauty, and durability of the asphalted rondways of Paris.
