The Erio Railroad has put an act through the New York Assembly allowing it to charge three conts a mile, ‘The Lake-Tront Ropoal bill comes up in the House to-day for a third reading, and will prob- ably bo passo The bill supplomentary to the Judicial Appor- iionmont bill and continuingthe old circuita until the eloctions for tho now circuits aro held has pnased the Houso. Senator Pattorson’s defonso is to bo printed with the report of tho Committeo that recom- mended his expulsion, and thero the Bennto leaves tho mattor. Other special orders so filled the timo of tho Houso yostorday that tho Donnhuo and other railrond bills, which were to have been consid- ered, wore not roached. They will bo taken np to-day. Twelve of tho eighty-five young doctors grad- uatod at Ann Arbor yestorday wore women, Of tho 120 lawyers who got their dogroes, only two wore women, Of theso twelve fomale doctors, two are to go to China as missionarios, On motion of Benator Cnssorly, Sceretaries Richardson and Delano are directed by the Sen- ato to find out what amount of first-moitgago bonds have boon issued by the Coutral Pacifio Railrond, by what property thoy are securod, and how they wero eold. Forty citizons of Chicago, vessel-ownors and poraons intercstod in tho lake trade, have potitionod the Michigan Legislature not {o en- courago the project for bridging tho Dotroit and Bt. Clair Rivors, To do 8o, thoy say, would not help the railroads and would hurt Lake Michi- gou. A similar memorial is presented by 200 of tho business mon of Dotroit, including a mojori- ty of the Board of Trade, . ‘Troagurer Spinner some time ago sent the fen sharos of Crodit Mobilier stock, which Repre- rontativo Kelloy turncd over to the Government, to Oakes Ames for hig indorsement, without which tho Trensury could not soll thom, Weeks havo passed by, but tho sharos have not beon roturned, and it is fonred ot Washington that Osakes Amos has dotermined to put them into his own pocket, whero they will do tho most good, Sonator Windom has beon intrusted by tho Benato with two important inquiries. At the- hoand of the Postal Committeo ho,is to find out what logislation is nooded to protect the Postal Borvico against tho railrond combination made against it, Togethor with the Transportation Committee, ho is also suthorized to travel dur- Lins boon & popular Toprosontativo, but this salary DIl 48 such & plain and undisguised 4 gougo" that Lis own political friends domand his rosignation. It will make littlo differouco now how Gon, Garflold oxplains his Crodit Mobiller venture. 'Tho salary grab fa tho Inst slraw on tho backs of tho camela of the Westorn Resorve, Count Albort Bornatorl, tho Gorman Ambnse sador to Great Britaln, whoso illncss was an- nouncad by the cablo, diod last night, Count BornstorfY choso diplomnoy a8 a profession im- modiately aftor comploting his studics nt the Univorsitics of Gottingon and Dorlin, and hao roprosontod Prussin in all the groat Courts of Turopo, Ho was first sont to ropresent Prussia at tho Court of Gront Britaln in 1864, Ho ro- mained thoro until ho was mado Ministor of For- eign Affairs at Dorlin, in 1801, In tho conforenco ot London, in 1804, on tho Dano-Gorman ques- tion, ho maintainod Gorman intoroats with gront ability. Whon, under Prussian influonco, tho Gorman Confodoration was famed, ho was mado its roprosontative nt tho Gomrt of Bt. Jamos, whoro lio romained until hfs death. Ho received tho Order of thio Black Enagle from tho Gorman Emporor in 1871, with an nutograph lottor, in acknowledgment of his sorvicos in the Franco- Prussian war and tho London Conferenco. A large meoting of mnegro Ropublicans Lne boon Leld in New Orloans to expross tho viows of tho raco on tho political situntion. Ton reso- lutions wero adopted, somo of which are given to unstinted commendation of Judge Durell, tho Kellogg Governmont, Bonator Pinchback, and Gon. Grant, Fivo of tho rosolutions aro devoted to tho various aspocts of the patronago quostion, which tothis “intolligont and cultivatod population of color,” ng thoy atylo thomsolves, sooms by far the most momontous problom of govornmont, Their confldenco hns boen wonk- oned by thoir failure to got more patronage ; they unqualifiedly condomn the other Louisiann Congrossmen for rofusing to consult with Pinch- back and Ray in the distribution of patronagoe ; thoy consider thomselves ontitlod to & larger share of tho patronage; and consuro tho dis- missal of cortain colored officlals on account of incompotenoy as another injustico to tho blacks in the disiribution of patronage. s ——— Thero has boon somo Pocksnifiian {alk in the Oommon Counctl and the Board of County Com- missionors regarding the financlal affairs of the Ohicago Reliof and Ald SBooloty, and in both bodies on investigation has been moved, Buch an in- vostigation was invited by the Boclety at tho timo thoy sont their annual roport to the Coun- cll, This roport onumerated 8,944 vouchers accounting for the expendituroe of $2,276,265.91. It would not take much timo for the Councllor any mombor thoreof to go to tho roomé of the Bocioty and examine any particular vouchors that thoy have any ourioslty about. As tho Council voted against an investigation, it is equally tho privilege of any ocitizon to go to the Bocloty's rooms and make such oxamination. Mr. Bam Ashton a8 a citizon has this privilego. As o momber of the Board of Counly Commis- sionors, however, ho has nosuch privilege, Tho Tollef and Aid Bocioty are nob smenable to Mr. Ashton a8 apublic bore; but as a privato one now, undor a G0-por-cont protoctive tariff, per capita of population, than it did under the low tarlft of 16 por cont botweon 1857 and 1801, Honeo, it apposrs that the high tarift gives no additional omployment to mechanies. Indeod, by erippling tho farmors, it reducos tho domos- tie domand for ‘*homo fabrics," becauso they aro unablo to purchase, A reduction of tho tarlft would Do followod by cheapor goods, chieaper living oxponses, clioapor ront, fuol, clothing, furnituro, earpots, bools, drugs snd modicines, with cheopor Iabor. Dut thero would bo no groater number of oily poople migrating to farms than now, and that is just none at all. Farming is o trado, and only jthose who have sorved an apprenticoship to it from boyhood to mduhood enn ovor sticcead in it But it will bo roplied that if the tarift on cor- taln protectod articles bo roduced, eay to20 por cont, tho Govornment will beloft without ravenue sufficiont to carry 1t on, Of allthings, this short~ ago of rovenuoe, if it conld bo so brought about, would bo tho most dosirable. It s an overflow- ing Trensury from high taxes that tompts Con- gress to make corrupt and oxtravagant nappro- printions, and to liston to all rorts of schomon for doploting the Treasury. Solongas thore is o surplus pouring in of $75,000,000 to §100,000,~ 000 por aunum, and $100,000,000 in coin strckoed up inthe Troasury, honesty in Congross is slmply impossible and out of the question. No party, Topublican, Domocratlo, Liboral, or what not, can resist such tompta- tion to oxtravaganco, Tho ealary grab would nover have boen sorlously thought of but for tho overflowing ocondition of tho Troasury, Cut down tho revonue hy $100,- 000,000 in tariff roductions, and the 87,600 Con- grossional ealary swindlo will bo ropoaled, and Congrossionnl rascality will stop—never beforo! Pat back tho dutieson ton and coffeo, nnd ro- ponl thoso on iron, woolens, including that on wool ; on cotton and leather, including that on hidos ; on linons and cordoge, including that on flax and homp, and reduce tho Fodoral rovenues to £2560,000,000, and compel tho Administration to carry on the Govornment on that sum. The nmount already paid on the debt in oxcoss of what is roquired by tho slnking fund will obvi~ ato tho nooossity of any money for sinking fund for ton yoarn to come. Mako tho Troasury poor and you-make Congross honcs!, and not othor- by wise." \ / THE TAX OR CORN. b The farmors snd other producors of tho’ ocountry are very justly investigating what bo- comes of tho procoods of thelr Isbor. They want to know why it is that the eurplas corn raisod in Illinols for which tho pooplo of New York pay 67 conts, and the people of Now England 70 conts, per bushel, only brings the producer 20 conts por bushel. What becomes of tho 50 conts por bushel 7 Who gots it, and what {s dono withit? Porhaps a fow flguros taken from ofiicial tables will fur- nish somo informnation. Mr. Young, the accom- plishod Btatistician of the Tronsury Dopartmont, statos that, from 1701 to 1861, tho total receipts of tho Government from toriff and the snles of public land ‘were $1,730,680,140. ‘This was for a poriod of seventy yoars, and included the cost of tho Rovolutionary War, the War of 1812~ 16, and of tho Moxican War, all of which woro N wo havo no doubt they will extond to him a high dogree of toloration. Tho Ohicago produce markots woro rather less active yostorday, and grain was lower.

Tho cattlo and sheop morkets woro unchanged. AN OLD BUG-A-BOO. ‘The Euening Journal is another of the nows- papors that havo bocome disgruntled by tho farmers' mootings sinco thoy turned a part of their attontion to tho tariff question. It raiscs tho old cry that, if tho tarif is roduced, all the factory oporatives will bo thrown out of their prosont omployment, and go to farming ; that thore will no longer bo any market for bread- stufls, el celera. Tho foct is, not one man reared in town ever goos to farming toa thousand farm- ors' sons who stroll off to towns. Tho towns aro uncensingly rocrulted from the farms, but the farms from tho towns, never. City folke, ns o gonoral thing, wonld rather starve in the city than work on o farm. The work is too hard, and tho romuneration too small. Moreover, its lonosomoness is gn in- suparablo objection to town-bred poople, Jour- neymen rarely ever have capital onough to buy a farm and stock it, evon if thoy wantod to try tho business, and to entor upon and oultivate ono is tho last thing they will ovor do. The sbolition of protective dutics would havo just this offcet. The protected manufacturer, finding that overything had cheaponed around him, including Lis own productions, would, if nocessary, reduce tho wagesof his ‘f eight-hour™ strikors to such scale ag would onablo him to go on with his buslnoss ; and tho strikors would ae- copt thom, aftor a littlo grumbling, and flud, aftor trial, that what thoy lost in nominal dol- lars thoy had gained in tho purchasing power of their money, a8 ronts, fucl, and clothing would all Lo 88 to B0.per cont clioapor, just as they wora beforo tho war, Manufacturers not pro- tocted (and the majority of manufacturers are not protected, but, on tho contrary, opproseed and dofrauded by tho tariff) would bo no worso off than Lofore. A “protected" mochanio or laborer eats no moro farm products than when unproteoted. Protection doos not sharpen tho appotite of any- ing tho yacation, to euch points ag scom suit- nblo, for the purpose of investigating the con- ditiona of rallrosd transportation botweon the Interlor and the const, and dovising a remedy for tho farmer’s tronbles. The dopth of the popular feoling in eesérd to the salary grab is shown by the sction of tho Ropublican Convention of Trumbull County, Olfo, which body has roquestod Gon, Gar- flold, Ropresontativo in Congress, to rosign his sost In consequenco of his vote for that bill, The dlstrict {8 Jargely Republican, aud Garfold body excopt tho capitalist, Teoplo in the cities wore just as hioavy foodors botwoen 1846 and 1861 againco. Tho editor of the Jonrnal himsolf ato g heartily undor tho Banka froo-trado tarift of 1857 as under tho Morrill protective tariff of 1861, Thore would bo jJust tho same demand for farm produots undor ono tariff as nuder anothor, and industry would contlnuo to bo oqually “ di- vorsified.” Thero would be lesa * eight-hour work for ten-honr pay” nonsense, and loss de- moralization among the journeymen in towna and citles. The country i importing more forelgn goods paid in full, with intorest, out of that rovonue. It included, also, tho cost of the purchaso of Louislana, Florida, Californin, ond the dobt of Toxns. From 1861 to 1805 tlic country was at war, and the exponditures wero nocesgarily very groat, But from Jumo, 1805, to July, 1872, n period of seven yoars of profound peace, tho taxes collectod of the pooplo woro as follows : From cuatoms. ..., .§1,317,160,557 From intornal rovenita., 2 T1,670,778,194 Balew by War Department, 135,414,687 Salea by Navy Dopartment o 111,800,814 TYoat-Oilico colleetions, 125,995,014 Tatont-Oflice collcctio; 4,536,711 Ono per cent on loans, of 80,703,677 Totalueseerarecsan sornonnnonesonnes + $3,402,630,452 "This, for soven yoars, {8 just doublo tho taxes collectod from 1791 to 1861, From June, 1805, to July, 1873, thoro was paid of the principalof tho public debt £427,390,641, loaving a not rovenuo oxpended by the Governmont for matters inde- pendent of the dobt of 82,975,189,911. The taxes collected in theso soven years of penco, over and above what was expended in payment of the dabt, was over $1,200,000,000 in oxcoss of thowholocost of tho Govornment, including prin- cipal of public dobt, threo wars, and the purchase money for two-thirds the presont territorial aron of the United States, in the sevonty yenrs from 1701 to 1861, During thoso soven years, tho larger part of the missing 60 conta por bushel oncorn has Dboen taken to makoup thissum of §1,200,000,000 of extraordinary taxation. But that doos mot account for the wholo of it. Wo published the other day the statomont compiled from ofiicial sources by the Honm, Mr, Burchard, mombor of Congress from the Free- port District of this State, showing the annual tax paid by tho peoplo in tho way of Incroased cost of fivo classes of domestic manufecturos, nono of which taxes go into the Tremsury.

WATERING RATLROAD STOCK, The Rock Island Argus bas dono the publica substantinl servico in printing tho dotails of tho construction of tho Poorin & Rock Island and tho Rockford, Rock Island & St. Lows Rail- ronds, & summary of which waa presented in tho last isgue of Tue Trmuxe. The publication of these facts ehould call the attontion of the farm- ors, and especially of the Raiirond and Ware- honse Commissionors, to another ovil conneeted with railroad managoment, which is fally as im- portant as tho spocial evils now under discussion in tho Parmors’ Conventions, and in ronlity is one of the principal causos which leads to tho oxorbitant rates of freight and diseriminations of which tho farmers complnin. Tho modo of constructing the railronds named abova ia but a sample of tie mode of construct- ing noarly all railronds at tho present time. Tho company obtainy subscriptions from towns and countios through which the road is to pass, upon the strength of cortain bonefits which it is alleg- od it will confor upon those placos. Iaving gath~ ored in their subsoriptions, tho company then procoed to Issuo firat-mortgago bonds, which are placed upon tho market and sold, somotimen oxcoeding the cost of the road, the surplus going into the hands of the construction ring, Upon the top of this, stock is issued without a dollar boing pald in, and increased from timo to timo, and now mortgngo bonds and stock divi- donds aro piled up, Polion on Ossn, until by far tho largor capital of tho stock of thorosd, a8 represontod on papor, ia fletitious. In ordor to oprn dividonds on this stock over aud abovo tho payment of Intorest on the lona fide ndcbtoduess, it becomes nocossary to inorense tho rates of transportstion. That neccssity, howavor, it lies within the power of the Rallroad Commisslonors to obviato, and It I8 o featuro in railrond managomont which oalls for their im- medinto considoration, Thoy have hit upon ono cnuso for high ratoes, in tho exactions of protoc~ tive tarlffs ; hore is anothor, which has its origin in watored stook, Tho practico is ono which not only prosonts itsolf to tho farmers for tholr morlous conaldoration, but appeals with st{ll strongor forco to tho Railrond and Waro- louse Commissloners as & violation of tho Constitution, which provides (Art. XL, feo. 18,)° that “No railroad corporation ahiall issuo any atook or bonds, oxcopt for money, Inbor, or proporty notuaily rocolved and appliod totho purposes for which such corporation was croatod ; and all stock dividends, and other flotitious Incronso of tho capital stock, orin- debtodness of any such corporation, shall be void.” Any incronsoin tho nggrogato of bonds and stock over and nbove the actual cost of the rond is flctitious, and theroeforo vold, according to tho Constitution of this Btate, and yot immedi- atoly aftor this section of the Constitution was adoptod, and in uttor deflanco of it, tha Chicago & Rock Islaud Itnilrond Company issuod floti- tious stock to tho smount of four millions. This Company is not alona in its unconatitu- tlonal procosdings. Nearly all tho now rallroada in tho Btato havo dono and aro dojug tho samo thing, Let the farmers now domand, and tho Rallroad and Warchouse Commissioners enforco tho domand, that this provislon of the Constitu~ tion sholl be rospocted, and that thoso fssuos of fictitious atook and othor forms of indobtedness shall bo not only declared but mado void. To pay the intorost on such indebtednoess and pay dividends on this fictitious stock, the companica must chargo oxorbitant ratos. This nocossity can be obviated by the onforcemont of tho Con- stitution, which of itself will bo a long step to- words romoving the griovances of which the farmera complain, | pla % ) _.-~BTRIRES AND ARBITRATION, There ate indications of & gonoral strilo among. tho worlkingmen of Noew York during tho spring sonson, and it ia predicted that their influenco will bo extonded in such mannor as to produce simultancous strikes in tho othor largo cities of tho country. Tho President of tho Working- ‘mon's Union hns mudo tho statoment that 100,000 mon will bo on o strike st the same timo in Now York aud Brooklyn, and that arrangoments have ‘boon mado for the artisans and mechanics of Bos- ton, Chiengo, and St. Louis to follow the oxample. It is snnounced that tho various trades will nct in concort. Tho purposoc of this general strike is to raduco the day's labor from ten to eight hours, and the plan is materially the same’ as that of last yoar's strike. The Eight-Hour Loague of Now York includes tho carpontors, piano-makers, cabinet-malkors, and tho majority of tho most numorous trades-organizations. Tho carpentors of Brooklyn have salready given their omployers notico that thoy will domand £8.50, tho pay for ten hours' work, for a day of eight hours, Tho gas companios had already concedod to their employes the privilege of working olght hours instond of ten, but re- duced the wages in proportion; aud now tho employes proposo to striko for the old pay for tho new nnd shorter day’s work. Itis probable that tho strilko among all tho trades will be to scoure ton hours’ pay at tho prosout rates for olght hours’ worls. Thoro are just two ways in which the rates of eompensation for labor can be doterminod,—by strikes ‘or by arbitration. The formor mothod hag been the most common in this country, but tho oxporionco of last yenr and former yonrs has proved it to be costly to the capitalista end dotrimental to tho intor- ests of tho laborers, Btrikes necossitate & sorious logs of timo and wagos which can novor bo rogained. Capitel has tho advautago in this mothod, for it can better aford to lose timo than the laborors. At all ovents, it is not prossed for moncy with which to buy bread and meat for hungry families, and the proportion of the loss i consequontly borno with less porsonal suftering. Morcover, strikes aro apt to lead to scta of violence, dostruction of property, the dinsipation incidont to idloncss, and & very gen- oral doworalization among tho classes for whoso boneflt thoy are organized. As o rule, tho re- sultant ovils of o strike largely over-balance tho advancomontof thelaboring interests, evenit successful, and theso ovils and hardships -are froquontly endured without in any way botter- ing the condition of the sirikers, Buch an ox- porience should suggost & trial of arbitration an & means for dotormining what shall bo a fair and equitablo componsation for a day'a Iabor. Thero is no bettor opportunity for trying tho oxpori- ment than tho presont time offers, 'The leaders of the cight-hour movement now declare that thoy are in a position to hold out ns long as tho capitalists. If this is true, it only forebodes an irropressiblo conflict, which will result in sorions injury to both partica. Tho laborers, it is faic to presumo, occuny ono oxtrome position, and [the capital- iats tho other. 8o longas cach class holds out obstinately for claims that are purely arbitrary on both sides, the outlook is nothing but waste ond absolute logs, to e shared by the two par- tios. Horo is cortainly the opportunity for arbi~ tration, n which tho capitalists and the working- men shall choose an equal number of ropresonta- tives, thoso to seloct o third more, to make up & board of oxamination. This board should then have the demonds of tho laboroers ond the *claims of tho capitalista before them in full, from which to roach an intelligent conclusion and cstablish a fair basia of compromise. Meanwhile, the work would go on uninterrupted, and there would bo none of tho wasto and sufforing inseparable from largo strikes. Tho laborers demand that thoy shall reccivo for cight hours’ work tho samo pay which they now get for ton hours, Iero is a loss of two hours a day which represonts a cortain fixed loss of production during a sonson. If the labor- crs shall receivo tho smmo pay na mow, this loss would fnll entircly upon tho capi- talists. Tho immodiate quostion which would come bofore a Board of Arbi- tration would bo whother tho capitalists can afford, or ought to bo called upon, to stand the wholo of this loss. If so, then tho ratos thoy are now paying for labor are too emall. If not, then it is likely that tho loss should b divided. TIn any case, the only way by which the question could bo sottled justly is in an oxamination of tho business and profits, Tho laboriug classcs have undoubtedly thoe right to refuse to work moro than eight hows in a day if they go desiro, but thoy havo mno right, on goneral principlos, ‘to domand that thoy shall recolve the same pay for eight Lours' work which they got for ten hours’ work, Tho only way in which such a right can bo ostablidhed is by proving that thoir prosont compensation falls short of what it ought to bo to that extont. Tho quickest and fairest moans for arriving at this is by intolligent and impar- tial arbitration made on & full showing of each branch of the trados. Arbltration has a declded advantago ovor strikes in that it may bo resumed whenover thore are changoes in businoss status that scom toroquire changos in tho prico of labor. This gonoral principlo of narbitration would be an incresse of wagos with an incrouse of profits, and, vice versa, » dooroaso of wagos with n deofoase of profits, The moat serious difil- oulty that haa beon found in England, whore ar- Dbitration Lins boon triod, I8 that the laboring clasaos approve and abido by the inorenso, but dinapprove nnd refuse to conform to a dooronso rendored nocossary by hard timos, or a particular prossura on cortaln branches of trade and manufacture. At this juncture, labor #e- sortn its power over capital In & ru- Inous fashion. A strike {s tho only resourco. Either thero {8 an attempt to rosumo businosa at. 8 loss, which is oventually followed by throwing labor out of employment, or work 18 summarily stopped. In oithor easo, tho principlos of jus- tlco nro sacrificod, an irreprossible conflict is ro- instated, and sorious losses to both partios bo- come inavitablo. The gonoral striko announced for the presont sosson 18 to bo seriously deprocated. Tho win- ter has boon smusnally long and sovore, monoy ia acarco, work fs bohind, tho lsboring classes aro poor, and timos aro hard. A gonoral atriko could not como st 6 worso tlmo for olthor tho employera or the employed. It fs to bo doubted whothor the country could afford tho roduction'of two hours in the day's Iabor, oven on a falr basis of compensation. Tho amount of production which would be lost by such a chango I8 soriously neoded. Bat, it such o chango §8 to take placo, or any othor gonoral aod importaut altoration in therclationsof capi- tal nnd labor, it can bo best brought sbout by arbitration, basod upon tho neods of the working classcs and tho proflts of their employors,— thoroby provonting the manifold evils and frrep- arablo lossos incident to atrikes. Tho Washington dispatches in our last fssuo briofly alludod to o controversy now pending bo- twoen tho Post-Ofico Dopartment and a num- Dber of the loading Enatorn ratlronds, smong them thoPonnsylvanin, the New York Contral &Hudson River, tho Erie, tho Now York, Now Haven & Hartford, the Boston & Albany, and tho Phila- delphia, WHmington & Baltimore, with regard to tho amount of compeneation for thoe trans- portation of mails, During tho pendenoy of the bill before Congress making sppropriation for tho postal sorvico, these ronds sorved a notico upon tho Postmaster-General that, unloss the companies wero paid for transporting tho mails in pogt-offico cars abt tho rato of 40 conta por ecight-whool car per milo run, and at a proportionate ate for por- tions of onrs ocenpied for mallway post- offices, and ton conts per mile for post- office agents riding in passonger cars, the com- panies would not consont to run post-ofiico cara aftor tho firat of April next, but would roturn to the old mothod of transporting tlie maila. Tha Postmastor-General roplied to the notico by citing from tho nct approved March 3, 1873, authorizing an incronso of componsation to the amount of half n million of dollars, and'in con- cluding his lottor adds: Itisnot lesan responao to the recommendations mado in each of my annual roports for a careful re- ! vision by Congress of the subject of railroad compuu- sation, with a viow to tho cstablishment of rates just and cquitablo to all concorned, and, a8 this favorabla nction 18 now for tho first time obtained in snswor to theso rofterated recommendations of mino, tho roports of my predecesssors in offico having furnished no precedent for my action in tho cose, tho present moment would appesr 80 singularly fnopportuno for tho withdrawal by the raft- road companies of the facilitics for the rapid tranemis slon and distribution of mails, on account of which this very considerablo incrcase of compensation {5 pravided, that I am Ioth to beliove the companies will consent tonssumo tho attitudo boforo tho publio in which such o withdrawal would place them, The dispatches in our last issue would seem to indicata that tho ronds havo detormined not to rocoive tho componsation awarded by the law, As tho time fixed by thom at which thoey would roturn to the old methods of transportation is near ot hand, tho issuo botweon the roads and the Government must come to s head vory Boon, It would scem ns if the rail- ronds had trouble onough on their hands with the people just now, withoul getting into a. vory sorious troublo with the Government, Ex-Senator Pattorson submits, in his personal dofenso, that “It is well for tho public good that Roprosontatives in Congross nnd Senators should thomselves bavo an intorest in common with their constituonts and their Statos.” Admitting the truth of this goneral statoment, it is dificult to porcoive that it has any boaring upon ex-Sena- tor Pattorson’s ownorship of Crodit Mobilior stock, How many of his constituonts owned Crodit Mobilior stock? The fact is that, outside of the stock which was given to members of Con- grosg, the Credit Mobilior Company consisted of Icss then a dozon men, who woro nssociafed for tho oxpress purposo of dofrsuding the Gov- ornment, and who hed g0 good a thing that thoy did not propose to lot any ono else have n sharoe, oxcept those who wero regarded as necos< sary for tho purposo of promoting logislntion favorable to the scheme, or suppressing un- favoreblo logislation. 8o far from having a common intoroat with his constituents, or his Btato, or tho United States, in the ownership of Credit Mebilior stock, ex-Senator DPatterson placed bimself in dircct opposition to all thoso interests when ho became associnted with a gohomo that wans organized with tho oxpress purpose of absorbing the Union Pacific Road and defenting tho seourity which tho Govern- ment had for the mouey which it had advanced. Ex-Sonator Pattorson ovidently forgot this among tho other instances of bad memory which ho displayed. .The voto on the Clayton case in tho United States Bonato clearly illustrates the advantagos aswell as tho justico of tho principlo incorpo- ratod in tho Illinois Stato Constitution, roquir- ing that the passngo of overy logislative mons- uro shall have & majority voto of all thomembers olected. Had this rule provailed in Congroms, Mr. Olayton would not have beon whitewashed in tho faco of the flood of corruption of which ho stands as o conspicuous ropresontativo. In point of fact, tho vote loft & majority of tho Son- ators clocted presumably opposed to his acquittal. Tho full m@mberebip of the Bonato Is soventy- four, and soventy-two Senators have beon oleot~ od aud taken thofr sonts, Fifty-soven Senators wore present, but only thirty-nino voted. 8ix of tho votes wero againat the whitowashing, and, counting thoso who rofused to voto a8 agalnat Clayton, thirty-nine Senators, or a clear majority of tho number olocted, wero opposed to the moasuro that was passed. It it had beon the rulo that & majority of thoso oleoted wore moc- cagary to tho passage of a rosolution, Mr. Olay- ton's partisan frionds would not have boen ablo to rush through & measure at onco opposod to tho intorosts of the country and tho roal sonti- mont of tho Senata. e Ex-Scnator Pattorson srys, in justifiention of his Orodit Mobilior transactions, that **Tho gon- tlomen the most inoulpated are recelvod with tri- umph whon they roturn to thelr respective Btatos.” This statemont is not abaolutely cor- roct. Mr. Colfax was wolcomod in Bouth Beud, and Mr, Oakos Amoa hiad & diuner glvon him by hig rotalnors at North Easton, but it doos not nppenr that the Btates of Indiaus and Magsaohu~ wotton Joined verygenorally in'theso ' triumphant ‘roturns.” Tonldes, tho torm **moat inoulpated " cortainly includes Mr. Patterson, and wo have not yot hoard that Now Hampuhiro hins organizoed any *ovation " on his nccount. ¢ Honator Kelly, of Orogon, on whono dccount Congress proporod to ovon up ealaries, has shown s ingratitudo by conoluding not to tako Lis back pay. If ho had taken 1t, ho would Linvo beon obliged to pay bucl into tho Tressury sovoral hundred doliars moro than he would bave recoived, his milengo footing up undor tho old systom ovor 5,000, What little honor might noorue to Sonator Kelly iu the promises la quite offsot by tho financial considerntions which in~ duced him to rofueo to talo his back pay, At tho samo timo, it was uukind of Lim to rob his age sociates of thoir pet protext for gotting their honds into thoe Tronsur; The recont cloction in Ponnnylvania for and againgt tho liconse to manufacturo and soll ‘vinous, spirituous, and malt liquors hns shown that whilo a very considerablo majority of the pooplo of tho Btate nro opposod to their manue facturo and salo, yot thoy do not beliove in the officncy of sumptuary laws to oradicate the ovil, AMany peoplo undoubtedly voted in favor of liconso, from tho vory fact that there nro already stringont Inws in Ponnsylvania rogulating the sala of liquor, which would holp to abate intem- poranco, if tho temporanco poople would sgo ta it thot they woro enforced.
