The Thitaga Tribune, Monday Morning, March 17, 1873, Cautionary signals will bo displayed at sll ports ‘on the lakes by the Signal Bervice afto April 1. : . Tho Wisconsin Logislaturo is fortunate in be- ing able to vary the monotony of tho resolutions of censure which othor Btato Logislatures are dirocting ngainst thoir Congrgssmen, by adopt- Ing a resolution of commondation of ita Con~ grossmon who did not vote for the salary stoal. France is to pay tho fifth aud last milllard of tho war indemnity to Germeny by inataliments. 1If France is punotual in her payments, tho Gor- mans, on July 1, will evacuato all French posts excopt: Verdan, and they will leave Vordan and withdraw the last German soldior from French goil Sept, 5, whon thio final installment 15 paid. m——— Kansas politicians are hard at work in Wash- ington to unseat Pomoroy's successor, Senntor Ingalls, on tho ground that ho was concorned in tho plot by which Senator Pomeroy was beaten, sand that ho was guilty of dishonorablo conduct in briblug Jndgo Delabay—-or, ratlier, in offering to bribe him, for the £5,000 promised the Judge was never paid him, # Mr. Whitely, of Goorgla, is not content with having drawn salary and miloage from both tho Senato nnd Houso of Ropresentatives in 1870, although nover admitted to cither Houso. ‘Ho hias now preferred a claim for an additional gum of §4,200, undor a clauee in the Deficiency bill paasod ot tho lnst scssion to equalize the galaries of membors of the Forly-first Congress with those of memboers of the last Congress. Mr. Bontwell mtends to take his soat in the Bonate to-day, and his place in the Treasury must bo filled at once. Whether a tomporary or permancnt appointmont will bo mado, and who will be the nominee, no ono has yet disclosed. Judge Richardson, it is said, will not accept an bonorary nomination, and the Prosident, it is also said, never meant to give him any othor. Now York, Philadelphin, and Boston interests are urging local candidatos, of whom tho chiof aro Honry Olows, to whoso firm the Govern- mount, some tima ago, transferred the chargo of its doposits abroad, which had been held by the Barings over since the foundation of the Gov- erument, aud Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, The fuss which tho Chicago TVmes and some other papora have been making over ‘Ilouse Bill No. 800, relative to municipal taxation, is purely gratuitous, but is calenlated to mislend and con- fuse the public. Tho proposod changes in the mode of assessment subserve tho samo purpose s boforo, and that without crippling the ro- gources or injuring the credit of the city. Un~ der existing Jaw, tho taxes must e lovied for city and State purpoges upon tho same valuation. T'o meet tho exponses of this city, and pay ita interest—and tho other cities of tho State are worse off than Chicago—would require a rato of at lenst 0 por cent on tho State valuation, But tho rato of city taxation is limited to 2 4-10 per cent on the valuation, and tho Legielature by refused to ralse therate. Conscquently, there is nothing to do but to raigb tho valuation for city purposes. 'To inorenso it for State pur- poses also would compol us and all othor cities 1n the Slato to pay four times our share of State taxes, Tho Washington Republican narrates an inel- dent, in councetion with Sposker Blaine and the 26,000 buck pey, as in striking contrast to the netion of othor mombers of Congross. Tho Republican says: ¢ Aftor Mr. Blaine hod inter- lined the word * hereaftor,’ in the clauso relating to the Sponker’s seslary, it was found that thero was soine doubt whether tht would bo suficient to cut off his back pay,—for, tho rorson that tho law would tako effect ny soon as signed, aud some hours boeforo the sosslon expjred.” Hoar- ing of this nice point of coustruction, the Bpeaker had the word ‘‘lieroafter” struck out by a oconferonco committes, and the worda “aftor the prosont Congross " inserted, and thug et hiisolf off from the 85,000 which the othor mombors of Cougress would have voted into bik pockat had he kept still. Thero I8 ono other way in which the Speaker might bave dafeated these machinations, i sll other moany kied fuilod, viz: refusing to teko the monoy. The Lafayette (Ind.) Jowrnal publishes 8 correspondeuce between Judgo Pottit, of the Supromo Court of Indiana, and Mr. Adams Tarl, Prosidont of tho Lafayotto, Munclo & Bloomington Railrond, which discloses somo romarkablo faots, Tho chargo had heen made ptiblio that this railrond had pald a largo sum of monoey to prooure an early and faverablo decla- fon from tho Court, Judge Potlit addrossed a lottor to Mr. Earl asking for an explanation, Mr. Earl replied, doslgnating the sums paid out by tho Company, smong thom boing €4,000 for logal sorvices in tho Bupromo Court whilo ho was aoling ns Librarian of tho Court and on torms of tho clonost daily intimaoy with tho Judges, Mr. Enrl's letter nlso showa thot, of tho total amount pald for logal sorvico, 0,000 of it was contingont upon n favorablo doclsion belug rondored by the Court within thirty days. Tho rocord in tho cano shows that such o dociston was mado within the spacified timo by Judge Buskirk, ivho {8 an intimato friond of tho man Graham. While this doss not argue, prima Jacie, corruption on tho part of the Buprome Court, it certainly justifies tho Tatayotte papers in nsking whothor Bupremo Court officlals lave unusual facilitios for proouring such favors. Tho Chicago producs markots woro genorally dull on Baturdny, Mees pork was quiot and o shnde highor, olosing at $14.70@14.75 cash, snd $16.00 sollor April.

Tho cattle trado was fairly active, with prices stendy. There was no chango in values of slieop, fair demand existing at 83,60@5.60. HOUSE BILL NO, 19, FOR THE COLLECTION OF 0ITY TAXES, Thoro has boon o romarkable dolay in tho en- nctmont of Houso Bill No. 19, which i & bill to, authorizo the collection of city taxes for the year 1872, and prior yeara which romain unpaid. Tho professional tax-fighters mado their boasts oponly, whon tho bill was introduced, that thoy would dofent it, as they have no intontion to poy their olty taxes of 1872, or any prior yonr, if thoy can by any menua avoid it. Some of thom have not paid a dollar sinco 1868 of aity, connty, or Stato taxes, In this dishonest and guasi- criminal businese of swindling the city and Btate, thoy have an active and zoal- ous organ in the Chieago Zimes. To attemnpt to collect the dolinquent taxes of 1869~70 and "1, or anyof them, it calls “n dovico of tax- eating rascality of the worat possiblo character.” Its position is that any real cstato speoulator should bo allowed to cheat tho city ont of its taxes for the current yoar by appealing payment ; and if ho succoods in postponing payment this yoor on some technical dodgoe, or by appeal to the Bupreme Court, he should never ngain bo called on for such tax, because it would bo cx- post factotodo eo! Buch is the argument, if it can be called argumont. The Times seea no wrong or hardship In compolling the Lonost clasa of tax-payers to make good tho amounts which the professional tax-fightors nvoid psying. A cortain sun of monoy is necossary to support the City Government and pny tho in- torest on its bonded debt. Tho proporty of the citizens is assessed according to value, say, fiftcen mills, toraise thatsum, Four-fiftheof the owners poy their taxes; one-fifth rosist and omcape on some quibble or protoxt, error of form or misdoscription, The rosult is, that thero will Do a defielonoy of, say, three millsin tho amount colleoted to meet the appropriations, which must bo added to the sum nceded, making eightoen mills for next yoar. - Hence, overy honest tax- poyer is called on for threo mills more than thoy equitably should pay tomsake good tho deficicnoy of the provious year, causod by tho escapo of the professional tax-fightors. Teople, then, very justly complain of tho incroaso of their taxos, and ask, Why is it? We havo given the reason. City taxes, for tho yoara 1869 and 1870,—par- ticuloxly the latter,—wero appenlod, tothe aggre- gate amount of Lalf & million of dollars, by the professional tax-fighters, Wo rofor to tho gon- oral taxes, and not tho special assessments. Tho Buprome Court, last summer, declded those ap- poals in favor of the city, and romanded the cases to tho County Court for judgmont. But the great firo of October, 1871, which burned the Court-House, consumed the original tax-books and warrants of tho Colloctor. And when tue city law-ofiicers, last fall, applied for judgmonts boforo tho County Court, on these delinqueut taxes of 1809-'70, tho point was made by tho at- torneya for the delinquont tax-fighters that, under tho cnabling act of March 22, 1872, transoripts of tho apposls were not sufilciont to warrant tho Court in giving judgmont, but the original war- rants which were burned must bo produced. Tho Court sustained the point, and tho city was sgain boaton out of its just duos, Houso Bill No. 19 contains n section which s intonded to obvizta this objection. It makes cortified coplos of the transcript and assossment rolls, togother with a certified copy of tho ordi~ nanee levying tho tax, prima facle ovidenco that such tox I8 duo and unpaid. Thecity can produce this evidenco, becauge it is proserved on tho rocorde of the Suprome Court, The tax- fightors have themsclves prosorved it by carrying transoripts of the original tax-warrants and praceedings to the Suprome Court when thoy appealed theroto, Tho clty dosires now to avail itsolf of this proof to compol those dishon- est porsons to pay thoir delinquent taxes, rathor than bo obliged thls enening summor to nasosy the doflelency on the honest citizens, This provision of the bill ia what the men- dacious Wella-streot concorn calls *a raseally tax- eating dovico of an ex-post facto character.”” It will only seom #o to those who owe the brek- tnxos, and insist upon making their neighbors pay thom. Tho same concorn assorts that undor this bill (ilouso Bill No. 10) “tho city authorities may Institute proceedings for tho colloction of taxos paid & dozen yoars ago,” Wo suppose thoy might instituto proceodings indopendent of this bill for all tho taxes that woro ever assossod since tho clty was organized, if thoy wore foolish enough to do so. But instituting procoedings is one thing, and geiting judgmonts i quito an- other, In tho prosont case tho purpose of the clty authoritien iv, to Iustitute proceedingy to colloct thoso delinquont appenled casos whoro tho Bupromo Court has doclded in bohnlf of tho oity, and whoro tho amount of the tax due Is ghown by tho transcripts of the original rolls and warranta on the records of that Court. If tho clty suthoritios produced on trial nothing Dottor than n cortified copy of an nssessmont- roll, tho oath of tho ownor of tho proporty that ho bad pald his taxes would bo sufiielont to ro- pol tho prosumption that they wore not pald. Tt is propostorous to supposo ihat the law ofi- cora of the city wonld bring such suits, ns 1t would moroly subjoct tho city to coste aud thom- solves to,consuro and contompt. L I'ho olngs of persons to be renched by tho provisions of Boo.7 of IHouso bill No, 19 do not allego or protond that thoy have paid the taxos in dispute. Thoy know and admit thoy Lavo not, Tho rocords of the SBupremo Court at Ottown presorva the proof of tho amount thoy owo, of the description of the property, its ns- songod valuo of the year or years of tho dolin- quonoy, of tho por cont of taxation chargod agninst it,—in short, all tho factsjin the caso. Tho foint of objection with thom s not the fact of delinquency, nor tho justico of the tax, but tho desire to escapo paying any tax. Thoy wish to onjoy all the benofits and protection of munio- ipal governmont, but to contribute nothing towards its support, Thoy insist that othor Poople shall enjoy tho pleasuro of donating to tho Treasury the half-milliona year out of which tho profossionel tax-fightors swindlo tho Oity Qovernmont. They aro altogother too goucrous in this rogard,. The citizens who pny their own assossments havo no dosire to assumo that of tho tax-fightors in eddition theroto, . Half o million of dollars of the flonting debt of the clty is caused by thoso delinquoncios, which debt 1a outstanding in the shape of cortificates of in- debtodnoss, drawing 8 or 9 por cont intorest, and falling duo on the firat of April, May, and June onsuing, What ia to be done with {t? Shall the Common Council levy an oxtra tax noxt yoar to pay it,—moanwhilo borrowing balf a million from the banks, at high rates of intorest, until the amount canbo wrung out of tha honest tax~ payors, or shall tho tax-fightors, who owe tho monoy to tho oity, bo compelled to de- liver it over? They have had tho wuso of tho money two or throo yours. If they dis- gorge, thoy will experience an cmotion now to thom—that of paying taxes. Is it not sbout timo that thoy onjoyed this sousation, in common with their more reputable and public-spirited fellow-citizons ? Tho atton- tion of tho mombors of tho Gonoral As- sombly s respectfully invited to this mattor. ‘Hougo Bill No. 10 s dragged long cnougl, It is high timo it woro n law. The city cannot col- lect its toxoas without tho aid of this bill. What objoct can any momber havo by procrastinating tho passage of tho bill? What aro the soven Cook County Senators doing to expedite its onactment ? Is it the tax-fighting lobby in- fluonco which dolsys the bIl? Who do our Cook County delcgation in tho Senato roprosont, —the tax-fighters or the tax-payors? Do thoy propose to throw the City Govorn- ment into baokruptoy, or oblige tho Gov- ornor to call an ottra sossion in May ? The flonting dobt of the city now amounts to ten and & hialf millions of doilars, for tho pay- mont of which tho taxes of 1872, and tho delin- quont apposled taxes boforo described, uro pledged for tho payment. Tho city hns no other rosourc excopt thoso taxes with which to pay its debts, maintain its credit, and oxist until noxt year, when tho taxes of 1878 fall due. 'Thero haa beon doley aud nonseuso ouough about this matter, and it is high time thore wore somo uso- ful action taken In tho promiscs. SO0ME PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, Political affairs at Washington aro already sbinping themselyes upon the next Presidentinl eloction, Among the probablo candidates for the Ropublican nomination, Senator Morton and Bponker Blaino are just now the most conspicu- ous, Thoy roprosont opposing eloments in the party, and opposing ideas in tho country. Mr. Morton is tho reprosentative of that principlo which seeks to submerge ovorything in the party intorests. Ho listons to no proposition, tolorates no policy, and countenances no reform which wonld directly or romotely dnmage the organization. The posi- tion which ho has taken in the Louisians difil- culty notably illustrates his policy, and the succoss which Lie has achieved in tho strugglo attosts his power as a party ** whip.” Whilo con- ptrained to coneur with his colleagues in con- domning the conduct of Judge Durell and in doprocating its results, ho refused to follow ont the logio of that position, and insisted that tho Keollogg Government, tho creation of Durell's illagal and high-handed interferonce, should be recogmzod as tho de faclo Government. Tho majority of the Benato woro ngainst him, but he brought them uudor. 'The lash was applied {o Carpentor, Lcgan, Authony, Edmunds, and othors who were in favor of fightiug the wroug. Thoy were taken by tho ear aund led Dback into the ranke, Washington gossip has it Lkiet Mr, Morton proposes to bnso his Presidentinl nspirations upon tho indopond- enco and ultimato annexation of Canada, This is not probable, Buch a doctrine, confined to glittoring goneralitios, may bo on incidont of Mr. Morton’s futuro career, but the destiny of Canadn i too remoto and complox to afford him or anybody clae any firm standing gronnd. Itis much more Likely that ho will ground his hopes upou tho idea of strict devotion to party, and upon tho ovidence he can bring forward of his ability to run tho machine, In this partioular fleld he is not likely to have a rival, Mr. Blalne's chances will hingo upon the' de- velopment of another clemont in the party,—~the moro liberal wing, which regards it as cssontial to parly permanonce that abuses should Lo rootod out, and that reforms should be encour- aged rather than opposed. To this wing of the party boleng Dawes, Garfleld, Kelloy, Scofleld, and Bingham. Tt i o thoussud pitios that thoso men should havo' allowed themselves to bo smirched with Credit Mobilior, whils their opponents in tho Ilouse, honded by Dutler, who are every way less entitled to public confidenco, oscapo unscathod, But for this unlucky elrcumstanco thoy might have ‘been strong enough to control the next Prosi- dential nomination, ofther for Blaino or somo- body represonting the same side. In the con- tents botween Renato and House, last yonr, prior to tho political eampaign, Morton was the origi- nator and engineor of all the violont and incon- dinry monsures sought to bo pushed through, whilo Blaine was their silent and efrective oppo- nont. If ho i8 ro-oloctod peakor, thore iu litle doubt that Mr. Blaino's administration of tho office will be dirocted, ag horotofore, to obstruct aud stave off dangorous policies, Thore can bo 10 doubt that ho would have sided with Carpon- tor and Togan in tho Louisiana diepute. Whother ho would Lave flinfied when they did wo aro not nltogother cloar, If Butlor should sticceod in his purposo of dofenting Blaina for Bponkor, Which is not likely, o will find in the Iattor an opponent on tho floor who will tako tho concolt out of him, and wenken his factlon vory matorially. It ia not to hodonied that, in n contest botwoon Mr. Morton and Mz, Blalno, tho former would possesa declded ndvantagen for socuring the nomiuation. Mr. Morton would havo tho privato interosts and meorst sympnthy of tho esuous with him. Iis vory ratson d'etre couslsts in steangling and obliterating all offoris at Inde- pondonco or for roforma which might woakon the mnchine, If3Ir, Morton Is tho ronl propliot of this political ercod, tho caucus can do nothing but bow down and worship him, as it worshiped Gront, It {8 also probablo that Mr. Morton would havo the psupport of the Ad- ministration. Tho sorvicos ho lhas al- rondy renderod would, nccording to party usngos, ontitlo him to as much, and tho assuranco of his consenting to anything for thio sako of tho prrty would nact as an additional recommondation, It is not probablo that tho 1iboral elomont among tho rank nnd file, which might favor Mr. Blaino, confused as it s by Orodit Mobilier and what nob, can muster strongth enough to overcomo the cool managers of tho cauons, it thoy decide to go for Morton. Tho most it could hopo to do would be to mako 80 sullon o fight as to threaten dissolution, In such case thore would bo an opportunity for Blaino or for o compromiso candidato. As & compromise candidate, nono would bo more likely to come forward than E. B. Washburno, whoso comfortablo mission at tho Ropublican Qourt of TFrance, and consoquout soparation from the squabbles of tho factlons at homo, would ronder him available though thoy could never it him for the Presidonoy. CQOLFAX—AMES, To the Kditor of The Chicago Tribuno s . B1n: In to-dny's issuo you print o lottor from M. T, of Ludlow, Iil., in which ho asks $ * Ia it ot gonorally concedod that Mr, Colfax has cleared himaelf of the $1,200 clintgo ? "—in unawer to which you say : *Oakes Amos swears that ho paid Colfax the money; Colfax awenrn thut lio dld not, Wo have no disposition to go over tho bank account and Nesbitt greenback atory again,” Now, what I,and other subscribers to your pupor, want o know, is, why you appear to bavo no disposition to take into considoration the statement made by Moscs Dillon, Caslier, in his lotter to Mr, Colfux, 28 printed in your paper of the 10th inat., us follows : **Tam very confident that the chiecks to inf- tials, or benrer, wero all paid to Mr. Ames himself, and eapecially tho one of $1,200 marked to 8, O, or bearer, I told the Bergeant-at-Arms that Ihad paid the $1,200 8.0, check fo Ames; but I was romonstrated wilh, aud urged not to testify under cath to such boller,” Now, why 18 {t you do not take tho Cashior’s statement iato consideration, and stato that the line of evidenco in bie caso rogarding tho §1,200 affalr seomn clear, and not Ignoro his atatement, or ovideace, it you will, ns, on his second exnmination, ho testificd majuly to tho same ns u the letter referred to, 10 kind enough to give this a spaco in your valunblo poyor, with answer, F.F, 0, Curcauo, March 19, 1673, ANSWER. When Mr. Colfax gave his testimony regarding tho £1,000 greoubnck, we were inclined to believe thatit was true, notwithatanding tho ovidont improbabilitics surrounding it. Accordingly, on thoe 17th of February, wo said thin : Tho fact that Mr, Nesbitt, tho alleged contributor of $1,000 to Schuyler Colfax, was o Government cons tractor, furnishing stamped ouvelopes o tho Post-Of- fico Dopartment, is somothing which should by set down to tho credit of Colfax's story, for, If o Govern- ment contractor wishod to makea presentto o high Goverment ofticial, Lo would nutarally take omo 1othod of doing it which would escapo detection, nud Do would naturally, wish 1t to bo kept a sccret, And on tho 18th wo said ¢ Tho position of Mr, Colfax with reference to Credit Mobilier is n very unfortunate one, and his misfortuno 1 of iis own orention, Novertheless it should not Lo mado any worse fhan ho hes himeclf mado i, Mr. Ames produces his memorandum-book, which s note tho most trustwortby evidence, and testifies that ho pald Colfax 1,200, and tho bank Cashier testifles that ho doposited thia smount two days later,” A, Colfax, on the other hand, shows (and we think tho testimony s, on tho whole, in Lis favor) that he received this monoy from Nesbitt, and that Lo sont it to Tndlaun in a drat o Mr, Conuer, of Indisnapolls. Tho main question s not, however, whether Mr, Colfax received o money from Mr, Nesbitt, although Le seoms to huve eetablished that fact, ‘Wo reproduce these paragraphs morely to show that wo were not governed by any animus of projudico or hostility to Mr. Colfax. Whon the fact subsoquently camo out that Mr. Colfax was in the rogular receipt of remittances by chiock from Nesbitt, at intorvals of throo monthbs, and that this groenback romittanco was not the first nor the last occasion of his roceiving sums of $1,000 from that quarter, wo concluded that his astonishment at rocoiviag the alleged romittance of June 20 could not have beon so0 profound as ho desoribed it to the Committeo. Wo judged also, that if ho had received four remittances of $1,000 ench from Nesbitt in 1868, ono of which hand created 8o groat nstonishmont in his mind, it would not hnve taken him o dong a time to ransack his momory in order to tell whero ho got the monoy to make his deposit in the banik on June 22, For theso roasons, and also for the reason thathe liad provericated inhis BonthBend speoch, we were compellod to rojoct, as unworthy of belief, tho story which wo had previously eon inclined to accopt, - Dillon says, in hia lottor, that according to his recollootion hopaid all the “Initial” checks to Amcs—not only the oncto 8.

Tho object of tho vislt {8 to urgo upon the Leglslaturo tho pro- prioty and nocessity of abolishing the State in- spection of grain, nud to sllow tho ownors of the grain that passes throngh Ohicago to manage their own business in thoir own way, subjcob only to the restraints of tho common law. It is ovidont that under the presont syntom thore is no suitablo nppeal from injury duo to ignorance or carelosances on the part of a Grain Inspoctor, 83 tho Board of Railroad and Ware- house Commissionors could not bo reached bo- foro tho value of a lot of grain undor dispute would bo eaten up by car storago at tho rato of ten dollars per day ; and, oven if tho appenl woro practicablo, it would be of little valuo unless mado to mon vorsed in commoercial nsagos, and export in judging of tho ralative value of grain, 08 judgod by commorcial standards. As a romedy for this gravo dofeat, the Doard of Trade] recontly roquested the appointment of & soparate commission, with an office ot Chicago, and to bo composed of men ablo to decide to what grade & glvon lot of grain should bo nesigned. Find- ing that tho requoat has not boon complied with, they mow propose to taka the broader ground that the Btato has no moro cnll to interforo with the inspection of grain thon to meddlo with the grading of wool, flour, provisions, or live stock, or to rogulato tho sorting or clnosification of.dry goods, drugs, or groceries. Thoy claim that the grading of grain horo is a classification mado for the mutual convenience of buyer and soller, and to facilitato tho Landling of the grain; that the farmor solls his grain by samploe to the country buyer, and has, thorofore, no direct interost in tho trootment of tho grain in Chicago; that tho ownors of tho grain ave all either membors of the Board of Trade, or have their duly author- Ized reprosontatives in that body; and that all tho difforont intercats of roceivers, shippers, &e., aro 80 noarly oqually ropresented on tho floor of the Exchango that an error of inspec- tion is nlmost sure to meot with a spoedy correc- tlon, Tho position taken by tho Board of Trade, through its Directors, is n strong one, and de- mands a respoectful hoaring.

GEN, HOWARD AND THE FREEDMEN’S BUREAU FUNDS, During the late session of Congress Gon. O. 0. Howard gont a writton communication to tho Touso Military Committeo, in which he informed that body that the confusion nnd incomplotonoss of tho rocords of tho Froedmen's Dureau wero due to the carolossness of the Adjutant-General's office. Thia has drawn forth a reply from Gen. Thomas N. Vincont, which throws additional ight upon the freo-and-ensy, general confldenco etylo in which the affairs of the Froedmen's Buroau wore conducted by Howard and his sub- ordinatos. Tt appoars that when tho businoss of the Freedmen's Bureau was tranaforred to the War Departmont, tho books, rocords, papers, oto., wore tumbled into wagons and gent over; aud that now, whon theso records are needed to closo up its accounts, tho statement is mado by Howard that tho rocords have boen lost by the ‘War Department. Gon. Vincont states that im- portant records, especially the disbursing branch of tho Freedmon’s Bureau, woro missing long bofore the tranefor, Tho officer in chnrge of that branch, though holding correspondence with claimants, for four yoars kept no record of lottors received wuntil after Jan- uary, 1871; no copics of letters sent woro lopt, although thoso lotters rolated to disbursomonts. A year lator than the transfor ‘was ordered, the War Office learnod of tho oxist- once of o special fund, and called for the booke, when Gen. Howard produced a book ; but even this shows no account of the disbursement Tho Tronsury Departmont cancelod vouchors of tho Buresu for £81,915, becauso it was found {hat the monoy Lad never beon paid on thom by tho Bureau. Gon. Vincent nlso gives n lotter from tho Becond Auditor of the Tronsury, show- ing Howard to owe the United Biates $11,466. Other casos, whero tho claimants have not roceived thoir monoy, aro yet to bo acted on, THE CANADIAN CANALS, The Toronto (lobe, commenting on our artl- clen In rogard to the necossity of tho enlarge- ment of the 8t. Lawrenco route for large vessels to the ocean, says: *They {the Americans] nov- or goem totlunk that itis worth while for them to proposo any assistance in the work.,” Of courso not, for tho Canadians would considor it an in- sult for tho Westorn States to make any such offor. Canadn wouid at once, and very properly, roply that hor canaln avo too important n part of her machinery to bo mado the subjects of a partnership arrangomont. She would brook no fnterforenco from tho outsido with her public works, Reasoning from thoso obvions principles, it hns Loon our object to prove to the Canadiane that the country betweon Lake Michi- gan and tho Rocky Mountains will now furnish lior canuls with all the business thoy can do, and that vory modorate bills will pay tho intorest of thoir enlargoment, and make tho St. Lawrenco tho groat highway for our surplus products to Now England, as weld ns old Eugland, and to alj the ports on tho other ido of the Atlantic. Theso aro ll tho offors that it is propor for us to make and that Canada wouldl be willing to ro- colve. Wo hnvo stated that by n roduction of froights in vessols of 1,200 tons buvden by the Bt. Lawronco routo to 12 or 14 conts por bushel for wheat and corn, instend of 23 to 81 conts as mnow, by coual and rallroad to New York, o vory cousiderablo addition would be mado to the valuo of furms wost of Lako Miohi- gan, aud to the value of our railways, aud othor property as woll; but o mueh lurgor bouefit would also nceruo to Grent Britain, in tho rodue- tion fn tho prico of food for her pooplo. Canuda los divectly botwoen thono producors and con- sumers, Tho Globa justly says: ‘If wo are true to ourselves, nothing can take from ue tho enormous advantage we possess in practieally holding the key to all the Wost and Northiwoest, Tho traflio both up and down the 8t Lawronco muat in tho courso of n fow yonrs assumo dimon- slona almost fabulous.” But in order to reap thin advantage,—a thing which the Weat s im- patient to havo her,—Canada must turn that key and throw hor gatos opon to tho commerco of tho lnlkos. i ’ Dispatches from Ottawn bring the gratifying intelligonco that tho Dominion Govornmont ia abont to talo Lold of thoe work in onrnost, Tho assortion of tho Globe, that tho Amerieans nover think it worth while to " givo corrosponding no- commodationor privilogo in return,” is & mistake. If thoso cnnals wore roady to-dny for our largo vossols, and & reciprocity treaty of tho most 1ih- oral charactor wag a condltion procodent to our uso of thom, o demand so imporative from tho ‘Wosf would roach the ears of Congross that thoro would bo no ponco till reciprocity was granted. Wontern farmors aro great- ly oxcltod ovor tho oxorbitaut freights on thelr products to the meabonrd. Givo them tho prospoct of & roduction of 26 or 83 porcent on froights, and thoy will domand from Congross Any fair loglslation to sccuro it, ovon totholimltof froe trado, Lot tho Globo sustain the Governmont in.the most vigorous efforts fo onlargo the Onnadian canals, if in nothing olso. Thon will it do a good work for England, for tho Dominion, for tho Westorn Btatos, and for human advancomont gonorally. — The construction placed upon the New York statuto dofining murdor by Mr, William M. Evarts hiag occasfoned an_ interosting diacussion on the nature and proof of *‘intent” in murder cages, Tho etatute deflncs murdor in tho first dogreo, which alono is punishablo with death, to boa killing “perpetrated from n promeditated dosign to offect tho doath of the porson killed, or of any human being.” Murdor in tho second dogroe, which may be punishod with a short fm- prisonmont, is that which ia “perpatrated with- out any design to offcot doath,” but whioh is not oxcusablo or justiflablo homicide, the circum- atances of which are defined in another part of tho stotute, Mr. Evarts’fear, ns ho has oxpressed it, is, that “constructivo malico” may enforco {taolf into the oxocution of the death-ponally, and, ag this fonr was oxpressed in regard to the Foster caso, it is prosumed that thoro was nothing but “constructive malico™ proved in bis trial for killing Putnam. Fortunatoly, Gov. Dix has not beon impressed with this tochnicalt viow of tho statute, and has declined to interfero to avort tho punighment of Foster by death. But, it Mr. Evarts’ position is & good one in law, then it is time that the Now York statuto shonld ‘bo modified. There is searcely ever a homicide in which it could be proved, sbeolutely, that tho murdorer iutended that hia victim should dio {rom tho effects of tho wound which he inflictod. To do this, it would be necessary to lay bear the heart and mind of tho murderor, and oxposo thom to an onalysls oqually searching with tho dingnosis of physical. diseaso. In tho Yoster case, it would roquire that Fostor's thoughts should be proved by witnessos ot the time he struck Mr. Putnam with the car-hook. In tho Btokes ecase, it would be nocessary to show that his pistol was pointed at o vital part of Fislt's body with a © promeditated design " to produce death. Tu tho caso of Drivor, who was hanged horo on Friday last, witncases would have been nocessary to attest that his mind was intent upon the killing of his wifo at the timo ho shot hor. In one word, every conviction of murder in tho first dogree would require wit- nossos of olafrvoyant powor to testify to tho ab- soluto intent of the murderor bofore and at the timo of tho lillivg, if ciroumstancos #o con- vincing na thoso of the Putnam murder furnish nothing but ** constructive malico,” The ro- quirements for the protection of human lifo, on tho contrary, rathor domand a groator prosump- tion of an intent to kill whon daungerous weap- ons are used by vicious mon and in vicious moods, and o more severo punishment in those cases of froquent ocourrenco whore there isan attompt to kill, and a failure by mere chanco. Theo Cincinnati Gazello prints a lottor from its ‘Washington correspondent which throws somo additional light on the Durant contribution of $10,000 to Mr, Harlan, This correspondent was summoned beforo tho Oongrossional Committeo, but tho only diroct question asked him was, whethor lio had any personal knowledgo of tho statement which ho lhad mado concerning tho 810,000 transnction. e was not requested nor pormitted to go any further, The fact that the sum of $10,000 was given and accopted, how- over, was proved ontside of this. What the corrospondent knew of the case, which is of in- torost and importanco, was as follows : JFirst—Nr. Harlan did not offer to return the ' £10,000 until he had been dotectod, and not only detectod, but placed in a particularly uncom- fortablo position in regard to it, Whon tha dif- forencos arose in tho management of the Union Paciflo Raitroad, tho Durant partyand tho Amos- Alloy faction camo beforo Congress, oach de- manding logislation favorablo to its own inter- osts. The Durant faction expected Harlen's aid in consideration of tho ©10,000 which had beon given him while hewasSecrotary of tho Interior; but the Amos-Alloy faction know of this 810,000 transnction, and threatenod exposure, It was betsweon those two fires that Harlan wanted to give back tho money, which he didn't do, how- ever, and dodged the mattor by absonting him- polf from the committee-room. It was not, thereforo, beeause Inrlan loarued that the monoy eamo from tho Union Pacifio that ho voluntoored to roturn it. Second—Tho money was paid in the autumn of 1805, and it was the goneral understanding that it was for IMarlan’s official approval of a chango of routo, by whioh tho Union Paciflo was longth- onod nino milos, Iarlan beeanie Becrotary of the Interior May 15, 1865, In the earlior part of his rdministration Lo opposed the destred ochango, Bubsoquently, and sbout the time of tho firat paymont of 85,000, ho addronsed a com- munication to ‘tho Presidont favoring the change, aud tho Prosidont authorized it. Third—Thoro was & timo during Mr. Harlan'sad- minfstration whon Lo oundeavored to withlhiold tho {ssue of Londs to the Union Pacific Com-, pauy which thoy wero entitled to for cortain aec- tions of the road that had been completed and accoptod., Aftorwards, and just as suddonly ay in tho caso of changing tho route, the iusue of tho bonds wns strongly recommended by M. Harlan, and it was mado accordingly. The as- sortion has beon mado that the sum of $10,000 was paid about this timo also, and that it wasnob tho samo 10,000 which Mr, Harlan recoived for 4 oloction oxponsos."” - Oun.l Horron, formerly of Tows, has boen good enough to get the public mind at rostin rogard to tho condition of affairs in Loulsiana, According to his testimony, everyihing I ex- tromely lovaly fn that section of tho country.
