No now points wera brought out in the debato on the Caldwell cao, yestordsy, and the Lialf- dozen epeeches made aro worth notico only 08 showing how tho speakers intend to voio. Senators Frolinghuysen, Iowo, and Stowart, say the Bonato has no right to declare the clection void ; Morsill, of Mninc, thinks thoy have, and wants to oo & wholesomo oxorcise of the powor.

Tho jusiuuntion which it conveyod against Mr, Barkloy does not exprosn any viows of Tz Tninuns rospocting that gon- tloman's conduct or nesocintions. e Tho Special Committeo of tho Logislature on Railroad Taxation have submitied a roport in which thoy comparo tho actusl value of the Ohi- csgo, Durlington & Quinoy Road, and fts branches, with the valuation on which they poy taxos. . Thoy find that, whilorailrond property haslargely increased of lato, thoro hns boon 1ittle incroaso in nasoss- monts, and rocommend local authorlties to sco that theso corporations aro taxed liko other proposty. P ) An one way of chocking tho frightful practico of wifo-boating, a bill was brought beforo tho Yiogislature providing that all persons conviated of whipping tholr wivos shall bo themaolyos whipped in public, Tho Committeo to whom tho bill was reforred thought it was bad enough for women to bo boaten, snd that thoy ought not to suffor tho additional disgraco of scoing their husbands and tho fathors of their children at tho whipping post. Thoy roported sgainat tho bill, and wero suatained by tho Houge. e Two murdorors were hangod yesterday, Foa- tor in Now York, and MoElhaney, of Boston.

Tho cattloand sheep mar- Xketa wero without matorial change, MR, DONAHUE'S RAILROAD BILL, Tho Stato Sonate on Thursday paesed tho Rail- road bill introduced by Mr. Donahue, by an unanimous vote. Wo print the billin full, It is eminontly wiss nnd just, and we do not sco hovw the Logislature could add to its sufficiency oven if thoy onacted an ontiro codo. The bill providos that if any railroad shall chargo or de- mand any oxtortionate rato of componsation for the transportation of any froight, or make any unjust disorimination in its rates, the railroad company so offending shall, for tho firat offense, Dbe fined £5,000 ; for tho socond offonse, $10,000 ; for tho third oftonso, $20,000; for tho fourth offonae, $50,000, and for oach and every offonse thoreafter, the sum of £100,000. It algo givesto tho person of whom such unjust rates aro do- manded o right of astlon for 1,000 £ . Tho bill makes it prima facie evidonce of un- Juat discrimination and oxtortion in tho rates of freight, and of intent to eo discriminate and ex- tort, for any railrond company to demand or ro- colye any largor amount for froight than is at tho same time chargod for tho frnnuportntlon of like quantities of tho samo class of property over o groator distanco upon the samorond; or to do- mand or recoivo differont rates for handling or delivering goods at difforent ponts on tho samo or connecting roada; or to demand or recojvo o groator smount for such transportation than iy charged for like transportation of the same class of goods over an equal distanco on the ssme road; or to domand or roceive anyother than o fair and reasonnablo rate. It is mado tho duty of the Railroad Commissioners, upon complaint of any citizon, or upon notico from any logal of- ficer, of tho violation of tho act, to immodiatoly institute prosccntion thorefor in the county where such violation took place, and to omploy competont counsol to prosocuto the samo on be- half of the State. Tho act iato takeeflact imme- diatoly npon 1ta passago. This bill meots the constitutional roquiremoeut that ponaltios shall bo proportioned to the | offonaes which they are intendod to punish, and in this respect thoy will certainly haven curn- tivo and proventive offect. No rallrond company will undertake the risk of multiplying suits whero tho ultimate penalty {s £100,000, Lesides tho costs of defenso. Tho bill {s tho more com- ‘mondablo because it s froe from overy consti- tutiona! objection, It is concoded by the rail- ronds, if such & concossion was at all necossary, that no chartor can confer tho priviloge to do- mand or recolvo unjust or oxtortionnto ratea for trangportation. What iy extortionate or unjust is a mattorof faot to bo detormined by the Courts and Jurios upon tlo elrcumstancos of ench caso. When that fact is judicially dotormined, it re- maing an frrepenlablo and fusurmountablo barrier to tho railronds, In its dotormination thero is no question of Constitutional law Involved, nor 1 thoro any question of vested rights. It brings the railronds down from thoir high horse of mo- nopoly to bo doult with necording to law and Jus- tice, liko matural porsons. It takos away from thom all tho forco of tho logal abjection to ar- bitrary statutory rates, and brings thom diractly to tho Issuo of what {8 n fair and ronsonable componaation for tho sorvico performed. Tho bl vaseed by the Bouate is alsn eommand. able In its rocitation of tho nots which shall bo construed an raising tho presumption of oxtortion; it avolds tho orror of cxisting Iaws which undortake to make cortain nota conclusive ovidonco of tho crimo, thoreby dopriving the ncensod of the privilego of showing the faots in rolation thoroto. Whis bill makes thoso nots prima facio ovidenco of oxtortion, and throws upon tho railrond companios tho onus of show- Ing tho contrary, nnd of entisfying Court and Judge that such nets are within thoe scopo of fair and rensouablo compensation for the sorvico por- formod. Unloas thoy can do this, thon thoy must abandon their discrimations or pay the ponnltics. Thoro can bo bt ono rosult in such casos, and railroads will rapldly undorstand it, and conform their business to the requirements of the law. REVERSING THE BUPREME COURT, Mr. M. B, Castlo, o mombor of tho Stato Bon- ate of Illinols, recently wroto a lotter to s far- mors’ mooting at Bandwich, in DoKalb County, in which homado the following statomont: * Wo aro told that the Judges of the Supromo Court have rovorsed tho decision in the McLoan caso, and, whilo thore arolmany voralons of tho docie- fou, I think wo will necod to keop on with our agitation until we reverse the Suprome Court by infusing some bettor materisl. They neocd roorganizing and modernizing.” This statomont 18 but & roflox of sontiments that lavo boon ox- prossod at somo, though not many, of tho far~ mors' meotings, and this is probably tho reason why Mr. Sonator Castlo mado it, Bat, whothor coming in the shaps of a statomont from Benn- tor Castlo, or in the shapo of a rosolution nt o farmers’ mooting, tho idon which it conveys is to bo oamostly dopracated. Ite moaning, if it ‘mean anything, is subversive of law. Its effoct must bo demoralizing upon overy ono who aub_ soribos to it, for it is a doclaration of dofianco to tho accumulnted wisdom of all ages embodied in what we call Jurisprudence, Followoed out logieally, tho proposed “roversion of tho Bu- prome Court" would lead to chaos in govorn- mont and anarchy {n socioty, ‘The offenso of the Bupromo Court has beon to docldro the 1aw to Lo what it is, in affording protection to shippers ngsinst unjust discrim- inntion by .common carriors, Tho declaration doos not sult a cortain portion of the communi- ty. Thoso pooplo propose, thorofore, not to change tho law, which thoy cannot do, but to rondor it Inoporativo by turning the prosent Judges off the Supremo bonch. The presumption ia that thoy would chooso men for Buprome Judges who would agreo bo- forehand to daclare the Iaw to bo what it is not. In other wnrflg, thoy would oloot men to tho highest position in tho Stato who would bo it~ torly dovold of principle, and plodged to con- strue the law according to the outside Inflnences that should be brought to bear upon thom, The aubveraion of tho law in the hands of such mon would not stop with ovorruling that which re- Intes to common carriers, but would oxtend to any othor featuro of 1aw which it might bo mado to thelr individual intorost to overrido and bresk down, The fight which Senator Castle and his followers proposo to insugurate is not against Chiof Justice Lawrchco, or any other of tho soven Judges of the Buprema Cour! who woro unanimouely agreod as to tho law, but against tho sacredness of law itsolf, But suppose tho class of mon in this Btate who aro opposed to the law govorning common carriers should bo powerful enough to remove tha Buprome Judges who have rofused to do- claro the law to bo something which it is not; and, supposo thoy should succeed in elocting mon go dovoid of principle as to doclare, bofore- hand, how they wonld decide cortaln quostions, the result syould bo that the tribunal of last re- sort would be composed of men who would dis- regard the law for a consideration, Tho leading consideration with men of this sort is solf-intor- -0st, Tho most powerful oloment with which to roach thom is monoy. If it should como to this, end to this it will come whonever Judges aro olected who are willng to publish tholr opiniona bofore the case ia tried, the railroads Wil “have matters moro completoly in their coutrol than ever before. Ina struggle for tho possession of Judges who are willing to sell out the law, for votes or for snything clso, it will ecarcely bo donied that the railroads conld command the largost amount of tho artlclo that decisions are usually sold for, sod that thoy would bo tho highest biddors, If Bupremo Judgos can overturn the law in the in- torost of oue faction, théy may also overturn it in tho intorest of an opposing faction, Judges who could be hired by votes to declare one thing ono day, could bo hired by monoy to declaro the opposito thing anothor day. In tholr proposl- tion to olect a8 Bupreme Judges mon who aro without the high integrity to declaro 'tho lnw a8 it is, after fair trial and hearing of the causcs, Mr. Castlo and his followors proposo to onter into n struggle with' the railroad companios in which tho sido that commands most money will oventually win, Rogarded in this light, wo aro inclined to think that the com= munity will hrink from thae conflict, and profor {hat the law should tako its courso, intorpreted by mon chosen for thelr ability, honeaty, and lenrning oxclusively, and who cannot bo moved by oithor votes or monoy to dopart from their convictions, A proposition to subyert the fixed principles of law in the intorest of any class, whother farmerd, railroads, mechanics, or capitaliats, and tosooure men who will act ns agouts ou tho Bupremo boneh to thia ond, is ns disroputablo & projact ne could be conceived, nand the best that can bo said of the mon who thus deliboratoly proclaim it iy that they know not what they do. THE UNION STOCOK YARDS, ‘The Committos of tho State Bonato, appointed to Investigato cortain chinrgos against tho man- ngemont and condition of the Union Btock Ynrds, ndjolning this oity, have made a roport: which wo publish eclsowhore, Thore aro, per- haps, fow pooplo, oven hero, whoro the Unton Btock Yards nro 8o eneily accossiblo, who aro awaro of tho magnitudo of tho business trang- nacted fn thom, The roport says that 32,00!);00“ have been oxponded on thoso works, and thab thors wero haudled at tho yards during the year 1872 5 Hlicop '?g‘::m Haiisl 20800 SO0 | Tota) 844,000 Binco the opening of the yards, somo sovon yoars ago, tho rocoipta of live stock have beon as follows : Trogs ,327,807 | Torso.... 7,213 Huoop 970, Cattl BOT | Totsl,......... 18,600,478 ‘Thio vocolpts of tho pret yoar wore 8o largaly in oxcens of any provious yoar that tho Commit~ too eny an onjargomont of the grounds will bo roquired vory soon. Tho profits of tho yards aro statod to have beon rathior loss than 7 por cont por annum on the capital invested, taking tho wholo noriod of tlme. but during tho last five _in Doston Harbor * Mngsachusotts, yonrs they hinve boon mbout 10 por cont por annum. The complaints agalnat the management of tho yerds havo rolated to an alloged shortago of food, to tho filthy condltion of the yards, to tho prices oliarged for hay and corn fed to the animals, and to dotontlons and delnys of shipmonts to Enstorn markets. In rogard to the allogod shortago of food, and tho prices charged therefor, tho Com- mittoo any thoy can find no ovidenco that tho quantitios furnishoed woro less than thono bar- guined for, oxcopt In n fow casen which mny bo attributed to haste and carolessnoss ; and whilo tho prices charged for hay' and corn aro consid- orably higher than those of the Chicago markot, shbippors would not complain of tbis if the pons were kopt cloan onnd dry so thht tho food would not bo wastod. Thoy find that the dolays of shipments nro dus to o lack of ro)ling stook on the railroada leading to Enstorn mnrkets, and not to tho managoment of the yards. Tho condition of the yards, ns rogards cloanlinoss, thoy find to bo very bad. This is attributablo in part to tho severity of tho win- tor, to the suddonnoss of tho rocent thaw, ond to the groat increase of tho trado. Nevertheloss, thoy think that o gonoral roform In tho matter of olennlinoss {8 demanded, and that standard seales should be ereoted at the yards for woigh- ing food, and that noticos should be posted up doflning acouratoly the rights and priviloges of customors, and {ndlesting to whom thoy shall apply for o redroea of any grievances thoy mny havo. In order that theso roforms may bo car- riod out, snd that the ‘remedies suggested may bo furnished continuonsly, they recommend that tho yards bo put undor tho, suporvision of the Railroad and Warchouse Commissioners, who aro instructed to vielt and inspect them at least four timos each yoar. The investigation sooms to have boon n thorough ono, and the roport will quict o groat many groundloss alarms, and at tho samo timo introduce somo nooded reforms inono of tlie most important dopartments of Wostorn trade nud industry. BUNDAY BEANS AND OIVIL LIBERTY. A blow hias beon atruck in Massachusotts at clvil and raligious liborty, which has cansod in outburst of popular indignation from Capo Cod to Ohatbem Four Corners. Thore have beon many blows struck boforo, but none which went down 80 @eap, Into the roots of porsomal privi- logo, Babbatarlan rest, theologionl projudice, and old-time ocustom, as this one, It hns struck to the Massachusotts stomach as woll as spirit. It involves culinary considorations as woll a8 rellgious rqoponsibilitios. It rankles In tho duedooum and culminates in tho con- soionco. Tho wanton dostruction of tea brought grief to tho heatts' of many respeotablo old ladios, but it dld not interfero with their Sunday reflections, The langing of tho Salem ‘witchos, for their nightly rovels about the chim- ney-pots of tho Soven Gablos and their poriodi- cnl ;id-air Journoys to Bangus Contre, undoubt~ edly brought sorrow into their respoctive houso- holds, but it aleo brought much spiritual couso- lation to the flocks of the Mathors. The ban- ishmont of Roger Willlams, who, like, Opholin, had too much wator in his creed, was a hard blow at close communion, but it only affeoted ono scot, and that temporarily. Tho Searlet ‘Woman, too, lias boen the victim of numorous porsecutions ; tho farmers of Seokonk snd Podunk have more than once lost their vintage of cider by tho nocturnal visitations of Stato Constables; and Universalists, - Unitarinns, Spiritualists, Uraulino Bisters, Abolitionlats, Quakors, and other hoterodox’ vagarists have boen egged, burned, whipped, hanged, and og- tracizod, but thelr misfortuncs Lave not seri- ously affected any but themsolves. Now, how- over, fato and the Btate Constablos have com- bined to strike a blow at the vory palladium of It somo Irroverent hand' had emitton the codfish idol, which s supposed to bring good Juck to tho logislative doliborations, or bad driven & plug Into tho Frog Pond foun- tain, or had played Guy Fawlkes with the Radi- cal Club, it would not have croated more excito- mont than this last blow ot the rights of man, women, ond child, which has dosconded lito & bolt of wrath upon tho devoted town of Chicopee. On Sunday. last, tho Btato Constnbles of that town went about in tho morning and closed all tho bakerios, with tho Deans and brown broad intended for the Buuday dinnors loft in the ovons ! Hino ille lacryme ! From time immomorial, it has boon the custom of tho thrifty Maesachusetts housowife to par- boil her beans on Saturday afternoon, placo thom in the carthen pot, and send thom by tho youngost child to the bakery, when, upon the deposit of 1 cent, current coin of tho realm, tho Pot was chalkod with tho family monogram, and doposited in the hugo brick oven, which still rotained sufficlent heat aftor tho wook's baking, to ensure o pot full of baked beans, doliclously ‘brownod upon the surface, crownod with a sog- mont of crisp pork, which to tha childish oye was an apoex of ecstacy indicative of tho joys bolow, which had beon permeated through and through with its aroma. At an early hour on the Sabbath morning, the small child, after having recitod his quots from the catochiem and proved himself well up in the paalma and hymns of tho day, loft the patornal roof with many injunctions against stoning sparrows aud stopping to sail boats in tho puddloes, and solemnly wended his way to the bakery, whenco ho roturned, oliuging to the onrthon circumferonco which girdled the’ dny's Topast, M8 hedts tempered by the gratofal towel. Thero havo beon in- stances whore tho small child's attontion has boon dlstracted by some stray aquirrel, snd tho pot of beans has elipped from tho treacherous towol, and tho smsll child has boon loft lament- ing like Lord Ullin, and the family bas gone without dinnor, but these casos aroraro. Asa rule, tho small child puta his whole mind on the ‘bean-pot, aad arrivos at the homestond with its Intogrity inviolate, oxcept that the brown beans on tho top have disappeared during the journey. Tho Ohlcopeo Constablos, in tho fivat place, havo uprooted an old custom, venorable with tho mosgos of wholo gonerations, clustering with ag- soclations whoso rudo disintogration will strike to the hoart of many s voader of those words, who has long boon @ stranger to tho boans of youth. Evoryonoknowa that thorebave hoon no beana liko thoso beans of his innocont child- hood. All othera aro hollow imitations, baso countorfoits.

An importing houso of this city, that deals in wiro ropes, recently imported from England a large order. On its arrival at Baltimoro they tondozed tho Collector the bond for the payment of the dutlos in Chicego. The wire rope, how- over, was found to be in coils too largoe to bo placed in boz cars, and the Collector at Baltis more rofused to allow thoir transportation on open cars. On appeal to ashington, tho Trennury officors sustained tho Colleotor at Bal~ timore. As n consoquonco, tho wire remains ot Baltimoro, and can only bo romovod upon pay- mout of all tho dutles at that port. If tho uso of opon cars wero prohibited sltogetlier thore would be somo oxcuse for this procoodliig, but, a8 plate-glass and o varloty of othor articles are received hore from Now York on such cars, tho objoction isa spocial ono at Baltimoro. When the' bill pormit- ting importod merchandigo to bo brought from tho Atlantic ports to Chieago, in bond, was pend- ing, tho whole influence of the Eastorn Custom- Houses, and of tho Commissioner of Customs, and of the Bocrotary of the Troasury, was given against tho bill, and actunlly did dofeat it for two yoars. This proceoding at Baltimore Is perhaps but an exhibition of potty epite, and an abuso of suthority in ordor to compol the paymont of du- tica at that place. Tho' governing principlo of our tarift is that there should bo no Imports, but if Chicago will import, then her morchants must be placed st the utmost possible inconvenience. Right horo comos in another itom upon this goneral subject. Wire r-opo ia oxtensively usod in this country for mining purposos, for in- olined planos, bridges, derricks, dredges, hoiat- ing, belting, and for olevators; it ia aleo uged for standing rigging of ships, atays, guys, anda varioty of other purposes. Thoro is one eatab- lisment in this country whero wire rope is madoe, and that {s in New Joracy. Whon tho Tarift bill was boforo Congross ono yoar ago, the pro- prietor of this Now Jorsoy ostablishmont went to Washington and had inserted in tho Tarift bill & proviso that the reduction of duty on f{ron and steel, &o., should mot apply to wire rope, but that the latter ehould pay o higher . duty than evar beforo. This provlso bacamo the law in August, 1872, and sinco that timo all thoso porsons who havoe had to purchase wire ropo have had to pay anad- vanco of 16 por cent, gold, in tho prica thereof for tho benofit of the man down in New Jersoy. The owner of every building in Chicago using an clovator can onjoy tho eatisfaction of knowing that 60 per cont of the cost of hisiron rope is paid to encourage & gontloman doing business in Now Jorsoy, aud that 16 por cont of that tax wag & special provision mado s year ago in a bill to “roduce” the tax on imports. Tho Jatest suicidal mania which has beon rag- ing in France, and which has rocoived philogoph- cnl support from the Enthanasian schiool in Eng- Innd, apponrs to bave sproad into this country. Thero is not an iseuc of a daily papor of lato which does not contain an account of one or more suicides in varlous parts of the country. In Now York, the other day, thore were tiwo sui- aidos which show what social extromes the mania ronches.
