Amid the diversity of viows exprossod in tho debato yostorday on the Railroad bills boforo tho Houso, thero scomod to bo gonoral accord in the opinion that tha recont doclsion of thoBupromo Court was In roality n doclsion in favor of the poople, and sgainst tho railronds. Ono spoaker said that decision loft the Logislature nothing to do with regard to unjust diserirhinations butto pass o statuto onforcing the common law, a8 tho Bupromo Conrt had decided that despite their chartors tho raflroads were amenablo to the common lnw for. tholr extortion. Undor such a statuto, the poople could get all tho roliof thoy woro entitled to, for juries conld always bo re- lied on to support the peoplo against oncroaching corporations. Other speakers roltorated tho viow that thero was n groat deal more consolation for the peoplo {n the decision than was supposed in tho first hasty reading, and hopes wers ox- prossed that the Judges of tho Bupremo Court would not resigu.

Boveridgo is rocoived in & very unfavornble manner on 'Ohange—or, a8 & member of the Board ox- prosaes it, “ with ono univorsal howl of oxecra- tion.” Nothing is known of the new appointeo in commoreial circlos, excopt that the sppoint- mont {s n political ono. This is regardod by the trado ns tho first downwnard step, To- ward the ocloso of business hours & calmor foeoling prevailed, and tho hopo wag expressod that, although the appoint- mont was & political one, it would not bo alto- gotlier uncommercial. Mr. Harper claims to lave had somo exporionco as ncountry grain dealor and buyer. He will probably rocog- nize tho fact that he holds his offico only during good behavior, that ho has 8 groat many sbarp oyes on him, and that ho onnnot muke' hoad ngainst advorss criticism 80 well a8 an old hand in the businoss might do. ‘Wo think Gov. Boverldge has mado o mistake in this appointmont, but that Mr. Harpor shonld not bo condomned without a trial. Liout.-Gov. Boveridgo baving suceseded to tho offico of Governor upen the resignation of Gov, Oglesby, the Prosidont of the State Sonato, Son- ator Early, hoe sot up o claim that Lo is Liou- tenant-Govornor, and s such has had his namo withdrawn from the roll of Bonators, and doos not voto oxcopt whon the Senato is oqually divided. DIr. Early was elected o Benator, and his election to the Presidenoy of that body has not changod his office, nor has it divested him of his rosponsibility as & Sonator. His only right to tho Prosidonoy s, that bo Is o Sonator; and anything that wowld unseat him ss a Senator would vaeate Lia torm as presiding officer, Bhould ho remove from Lis district, resign, or bo ox- to bo Sonntor, pelled tho Honate, hio wonld cot and consio to be presiding oflicor of that body, In no posgiblo evont can he bocome Lioutonant- Governor. Should p vacanoy in tho ofiice of Governor oceur, ho would become Governor by virtuo of being Prosidont of tho Bouate; but, unlike tho Lloutonant-Governor, he would only hold thoe offico until tho noxt Btato oloction, whon ho would vacate. He would be Governor pro tempore, just a8 he is now President of tho Sen- ato pro lempore, Tho assumption of tho titlo or priviloges of tho Lioutenant-Govornor by Bonator Early is an absurdity, and his constitu- onts aro justified in thoir complaiut of his refus- Ing to voto bocauso he {8 no longer Benator, If he is not o Bonator, ho hag no right to bo tempo- rary proulding officor of tho Sonato, Thero fa considerable disoussion just nmow in Wisconsin concorning a bill pending in Congrosa rolativoto the Fodoral courts of thatBtate, In 1848, whon Wikconsin was admitted as n Btate, Congrosa, by law, cotablishod the Unitod Statos Qourt for the District of Wisconsin, and shortly aftor Judgo Miller waa appointed. Boon after Mr. Carponter ontared tho Senate ho introduced and procured the passago of n law dividing the Btate into two Judiclal Diatriots,—tho Jurledic- tion of tho existing court belng restrioted to that part of the Biato dosignated as tho Eastorn Distriot, and a now court being establishoed, to bo called the Distrlot Court for tho Woatern Dig- trict of Visoonsin, ' Under this law, which wae presod in 1870, Judgo Hopkins was mado Judge of tho now court. At tho lant sosaion of Congrens, Mr. Carpentor proposod n Dill to abollsh tho Court for tho Enatorn Distriot of Wisconsin, and making tho presont Wostorn CQourt tho court for.tho wholo Distriot of Wis- consin. This bill passod tho Bonnto, and failed in the IMouse. Tha effoct intended waa to logis- Into Judgoe Miller out of office, Tho mattor lins boon warmly discussed in tho Btate, nud the powaer of Congross to dismisa o Judge by aholish- ing tho conrt in tho manner proposed has beon donfed. Thoro are writors who contond that, ovon it tho bill had passod, it would have Lad an offgct just tho roverso of that intonded, becanso 1t would amount to nothing more than a resto- “ration to tho original District Court of its juris- diction over tho wholes Btato of Wisconsin, and Judgo Miller, holding his original commission na Judge of the District Court of Wisconsin, would romain sole Judgoe, and Judge Hopkins would bo logislatod out of ofico. v The New York Evening Posl, in answer to thoso papors that haddoniod that Mr. Goorgo Will- inm Curtis had resignod from the Civil-Borvico Commission, ropeats tho statoment of his rosig- nation, bocause “ho rogards sevoral Important appointments recontly medo, 88 & virtual aban- donmont of tho Civil-Borvico Reform." It makes this assortion upon the authority of Mr. Curtis himsolf, and tho renson is glven in procisoly Mr. Curtfe’ own words. Mr. Curtls rosigned his position soon after_the recont Fedoral appoint- monts in Now York City, slmply and sololy ho- causo ho thought that, in making those appoint- monts and othors cleowhore, Prosident Grant had thrown Civil Bervico overboard, and that Mr. Curtis’ usofulnoss s & mombor of tho Com- mission wns at an ‘ond. Mr. Curtis was in- ducod to engage in tho Commission under an impression and roposted assurancos tint thoro was an honeat purpose to reform the Civil Sor- vico. Whatovor difficulties existed in tho way of putting this roform in operation in tho Inst yoars of an Adminiatration, and on the ovoof n Prosldontial oloction, woto all removed by tho ro-oloction of Prosidont Grant. Ile was thon, in making his appointmonts, at full liberty to earry out tho roform he haa had 8o repeatedly and ao omphatically commonced. Mr. Curtis had vigor-~ ously supported Prosident Grant for re-oloction, especially on tho ground that, in his second torm, ho could succossfully discard tho domands of politioal clignos, and reform tho Civil Servico. But the Prosident uttorly failed to do this, and it is not surprising that Mr. Ourtis rosigned {rom & Commission whioh had beon thus prac- tically troatod with contompt GOV, BEVERIDGE'S §PEECH, Gov. Bovoridge mado a briof speoch to the Farmers' Convontion, at Bpringficld, on Wednos- day, which I8 to bo commended for the tono of impartiality and gravity which tho spoakor sdopted. There was undoubtodly n tomptation to give vent to crude and reckloss uttorances on tho subjoct of railroads, and Gov, Bovorldge ox- hibited good judgment and tempor in not yleld- ing toit. Whon ko announced his intontion of | ‘boing tho Govornor *not of any ono of theso in- toresta, but of tho entire interesta of the State of Tlinois,” Lo Iaid down an excollont rulo for his ndministration, tho observance of which will bo the ruloof safoty ag well as of oquity, Thisprinci- ple, morcover, gavo groator forco to the Govorn® or's doclarod sympathies with the movemont sgalnst thooxtortions andunjust discriminations of thorailronds, and it inducos the belief that hin porsonal influence will bo exorted in a way that will enforco the will of tho poople in & lawful and regular manner. 2 Gov. Boveridge oxcooded his dutios, how- ever, in prodicting that the timo will soon como whon.tho principles of tho Dartmouth Colloge docision will bo judioially rovorsed. Tho Gov- ornor moy be right in this prediction ; but wo vonturo to suggest that before that decision is roversed all othor romedios for oxisting ovilawill havo boen exhausted. It ia Just now highly un- popular. to rofor to the Dartmouth Collego de-~ oislon oxcept in terma of donunciation, aa though it woro somothing akin to the Dred Scott docia- fon. Itissepolen of solelyin reference to the rallrond question ; and it is popularly understood that & rovorsal of tho decision would bo s short cut to cheap froights—and that that would be the end of it. Dartmouth Collogo was ondowed by an Eng- lishman in old Colouial times, It received n charter from tho Government of Groat Britain which oxompted its proporty from taxation. Whon tho fndopendénco of tho Unitod Btates was nachieved, it bocamo a corporation of the Btnto of Now Hampshire, Tho ngw Btate Gov- ornmont proposed to chango its chartor by mak- ing ita property subject to taxation. Tho Col- loge rosisted tho tax, and tho caso found its way to the Bupromo Court of the United Statos, where it was docided that the Btato of Now. Hampshire could not alter tho torms of the chartor withont the conont of tho corporation. Among tho prinoiplos of law laid down by this decision aro tho following : Trirst—It is woll sottled that legislativo nots divesting s corporntion of any rights with which it is clothed by chartor are vold undor tho Con- stitution of tho United Statos, s impuiring tho obligation of contracts, Kecond—T'ho objocts for which an Incorpora- tion is created aro universelly such as the Gov- ornment wishes to promoto; they are deemed bonefleinl to tho country; this benoft ranati. tutes the consideration, and, in most cascs, tho solo considoration of tho grant. To roverso tho Darlmouth Colloge decision would be to ovorturn thesa principles of Iaw. To ovorturn these principles of law would bo to deprivo all incorporated companies, whother for banking, lifo insurance, fire insuranco; oduca- ton, religion, clurilies, - comoterios, rail- ronds, stoambonts, canals, manufactures, or what not, of their legal Dbasls. Whenover two or moro porsons aro mswociated togothor undor & charter from the Rtate, thoy becomo n corporation, whether the purposes of tho organization areroligious, eloemosynary, od- ucational, medical, or commereinl. All contracts which aro mado with a corporation—all its lia- Dbilities—aro based upon the fajth of tho chartor or et of incorporation, If-it wore lawful for tho Stato Leglslaturo to alter or modify the chnrtor at will (such right not Laving boen re- gorved in tho act of incorporation), tho contracts of tho corporation would have no logal fores, It the right to alter the charter is roserved, then the stockholdors and creditors understand what thoy aro about, and canuot complain if the right 18 oxorcised, though in point of fact it is soldom oxorolsed. Wo canuot rocall an Iustance in this country whoro a chartor has boon alterod with- out tho consont of the corporators, Whon poo- plo tallt about “tho creature Loing superlor to the areator,” thoy aro oithor dacetved themsolves, or aro aceking to decoive othors, by cunningly-~ dovised words, This ia & phraso which it fe sought to substitute for anothor phraso implying that when A and P hinvo mado n Jawful contract, A muy annul it and rotaln B's proporty If ho can got o majority of the Logislaturo to sldo with him. Gov. Boveridge may Lo right in enying that the declsion will bo ovortlirown, but whon that f8 dSne thoro will bo many othor things bo- sldes rallrond froights ovorthrown with it. Tho Btato of Ililnola hna Itsolt to blamo (if it ba & blamo) for tho fatluro to resorve tho power to rogulnte chargos in tho raflrond chartors which 1t grantod prior to the ndoption of the new Con- atitution. Tn thoe chartor of the Ohieago & Alton Tallrond, tho Company {s oxprossly pormitted to ohiarga auch toll for passongor travel and froight transportation *ng its Dirootors shall, from timo ‘to tmo, ordnin and ostablish.” Thid right i anbjoct, a8 tho Bupromo Court hns declared, to tho common law prineiplo that chargos shall bo reagonnble, and froo from unjust discriminations. In Wisconain, tho Stato Constitution onnblos tho Logislature to altor, amond, or roposl any not of o formor Yeglslaturo. In New Yorl, tho right s roserved of altering or modifying the ohnrters that aro granted. All corporations in thoso States took tholr chartors subject to thoso conditions, and know what thoy wero about, Thero {8 no such provision in the old Constitution of Iiliole. Ono rosult of thia ia that llinols hins moro miles of railrond than oany otlior State in tho Union, It may bo doubte’ od whothor tho States of Wisconsin or Now York aro matorially bottor off than flinois, Nelther' of thoso Btates have over sorlously attompted to roguiato railway charges by law, although pos- sossing tho undoubtod right to do so. The two- cont por mile tariff of tho Now York Contral Railrond was ono of tho conditlons speoinlly bar- gained for whon tha act of coneolidation of tho small ronds botwoon Buffalo and Albany was prssed. Whon the timo comos that Wisconsin and Now York flnd it necossnry to rogulato rail- way oharges, they will unquostionably proceed i tho mode poluted out by our Bupromo Court in tho Alton daoision, rathor than by passing Pro- crustonn laws, whioh cannot bo onforcod, ovon if the courta would sanction thom, P ANOTHER MURDERER SENTENOED, On Thursday last,” anothor of tho Now Yorlk murdorors was sontonced to death by Judge Brady, his oxccution to takoe placo on May 10, "Tho dispatchos stato that whon tho guilty wrotoh wasg sentonced he bogan to tremble and tumed pale, fainted on the way baok to prison, and by tho timo ho reached Lis coll was completoly col~ Inpsod. Tho dispatches farthor add that the news of his conviction and sontenco foll upon tho other murdorors in tho Tombs liko s doath- Inoll. The intelligenco that at last the law would vindicate its majesty and donl out even- handed justico was too much for their foollngs, and, in place of an oxpectation that thoy would soon bo reloased from imprison~ ment, & gloomy forcboding eottled down upon thom that thoy would have to pay tho pernlty of tho lnw thoy had violated, snd make tha only compensation ‘they could make for tho Luman livea thoy had taken. I * Tho neme of tho murdorer. sontonced oh ‘Thureday was Michacl Nixon, s bill-poster by occupation. His crimo is thd murdor of an in- offensive cartman namod Phyfor—a murder with 80 littlo provocation that it svas virtually an ns- saseination. The orire was porpolrated so long ago, and 80 mony crimes havo succoodod it in Now ‘York, thet. the circumstances attonding it aro probably unfamiliar to most of ‘onr roadors. . A-hriof recapitulation’ of them will bo snfliciont to show tho justico of tho sentenco. On tho evening of the 2lst of January last, Nixon was driving along Broadway, which was crowded with vohicles, and came np with Phyfer, who was riding a horse, which Lo had takon from his tosm, with the whiffletroa resting aoross tho horso. Nixon ordered him out of tho way, and Phyfer, sceing that ho had room to pass, doclin~ ed to tum out. Nixon then drovo up in o thretminlng mannor, whon Phyfor soized his whifflotreo, intonding to do- fond himself, wheroupon Nixon drow & pistol and shiot him, inflicting & mortal wonnd. Ho then jumped from his wagon, flod through tho orowd, and for a time disnppoarod. Ho was subsoquently found by tho officors at his houso moking netive proparations for flight. Whon ar- rosted, ho was asled if ho had shot amen on Droadway, nd roplied: “Yos, I did shoot bim," without a falter in his voice or tho quivor of & musclo; “I shot him bocauso ho said ho would strike mo.” He Lnd no rogrots to ox- pross, but, on the other hand, was surprised that Lo should bo arrestod, and doclared that ho Lnd done & just and propor thing. Nixon was a fair gample of tho Naiv York Rough—a comblnation of the brute and the coward. Ho was ostensibly o bill-poster ; in ro- alityndua]mmdu. who made a business of ruf- flnism, Ifo was tho associate of romghs sud rowdies, and was kuown to the wholo pslica - forco of New York City, in whoso hands ho had boon many tinies for ehooting affrays and other crimes, a3 ono of tho worst mon in -the® city. His violim was & quiet, inoffonsive man, & toam- stor by ocoupation, who led a peacoful, industri- ous lifo, and upon whom a wifo and four chil- dron doponded for support.

It was also froudulently ar- rangod that the duty on carpot wools should bo nominal, whila tho duty on carpots ehould bo from 65 to 05 por cont, This tariff has boon in oporation sinco March, 1867. In tho joint memorial which the wool-growers and manu- fncturors asked Gnn’groas to inorense tho dutios thoy promised: 1. Wa srill engago that shecp husbandry wilt incroaso and bo romunerativo, 2, Whilo woolen manifactures will oxpsnd and di- vorsify, affording o market for the raw material ; and 3. Toacuing tho pooplo from depondenco on forelgn lands for thoir clothing, which thoy will bo ablo to Pprocuro pormanantly at komo at loes cost than abroad, in oxchanga for tho only products thoy can oxport, " Mr. David A, Wolls Lisa just publishod in tho Now York Tribune alottor, written at tho roquost of various woolon manufacturers, in which ke roviows tho history of the woolon industry of the United Btatos, and of tho wool-growing since 1807, in tho light of those promiscs, nnd slso with roferonco to the rocont statomont of J. Wiloy Edmands, Prosidont of tho Naticual Woolon Manufactirors’ Assoclation, that ¢ The good feoling botwoen tlio wool-growers and the ‘manufacturora continues unchangod, and both aro sntleflod with the arrangemonts made in 1867." Mr, Wells, with a morciloss array of facts, domonstratos thatall the promised bonofits of the tariff of 1867 havo completely falled, .In rofutation of tho statoment of Edmands, ho calls attontion to & proposition made in January Inst, at tho mooting of tho Wool Manufacturors' Association, to onter into an agreement to dis- continue tho operation of 1,000 sots of tho wool~ on machinery of ‘tho United Btates, involving tho Iabor of 16,000 worlimen, and tho support of all dopondent -on' thom. The purposo of this discontinuanco was to roduco tho production of ‘woolon goodd; ~that” thdte ~ priés—might bo advanced. Ho then publishos the lettors of ‘various manufacturers of woolens (not engagod in making worateds or carpots), showing tho losgen in thoir businoss; tho discontinuance of mills ;- tho working of half, and Ioss, of tho ma- chinory in others; the prostration of tho " all- wool"” munufacturo; tho conversion of woolen into cotton mills; tho goneral offsot of thich s that tho tarlff, oxcopt in tho matter of worsted blankots and carpots, has beon fatal to the gen- oral business, Tho result is summed up in tho words of tho New York Economist, tho organ of tho woolon manufacturors: “Tho present tarift hins failed to give that protection to the intorest that it was intondod.” Having disposed of M. Edmandi by tho testimony of tho woolon manu- facturers, ho takes up tho promises mado to Congross in 1806-7. . The firat of thoso was that sheop Lusbandry would incroase in the United Statos, In April, 1872, the Commissionor of Agrioulture roported to Congross tho following tablo : ) N shiecp. . Wool marketed. .qf 000 147,000,000 ‘Those figures show o regular decline in the number of sheep and the amount of wool mnrkoted, but, ns vory littlo faith is put in the stutomonts of tho Agricultural Bureau, tho fol- lowing figures of- the wool clip are taken from tho markob rocords in New York DOMESTIO WOOL, Founds, Year.

The fallure & this promise to incronse shoop husbandry In tho Unitod Btates is rondored more complate by the -figures of tho foroign wools imported into tho Tinitad Sintan in tho snmo timo, which are ao follows : Year, 1807 Pounds.| Year, 30,875,309 1470 Pounde, 6,650,208 808 23,100, 7621871 1,249,089 - 1800 42,710,81211872 408,800,581 In 1807, tho foreign wool imported was in tho proportion of throo-sixteenths of tho domostio ‘olip 5 in 1873, it was In tho proportion of about ton-gxteonths of the homoolip. That ia tho way tho tarlff of 1807 hns incronsed the production of American wool, and kopt foreign wool out | Tho next promiso was, that the American poo- plo would be * rescued from depondenco on for- oign lands for their clothing, which they will bo ablo to prooure pormanently at home at less cost than abroad.” Ilow far this promiso hna boon kopt 1s shown by tho fact that, in tho aix years ‘whichhave pagsodsinco thotariff was onacted, tho population of the Unitod States, and, of courao, of tho consumersof woolen goods, hasincroased, while the domestio production of wool Las re- mainodwhoro it wassix yoaraago ; thoamount of foreign weol importea haas inoreased throe-fold, and the valuo of tho forelgn woolon goods Liasin- croased from 884,490,000 in 1870, to 849,839,000 in 1871, and 262,408,000 in 1872,—thoso valuos in gold. The inoronso In the woolen manufactures imported in 1872 is 818,000,000 sinco 1870, and is likoly to go on. Thus it will bo soen that we are now moro dopendent upon foreign landa for thelr olothing than wo wore beforo the} tarlff of 1867, As a nation, we consume more foroign- mado woolen goods, and goods made of forojgu wools, then wo did in 1807: and congumo proportionately less goods made of American wools than wa did hoforo this tarift Wad onactod. DBut, in this Iast promiao, in ad- ditlon to' boing resouod *from depondonce on forolgn lands for our clothing, the country waa Dpromided that this Amorien clothing was to bo turnishod ot loss cost than It could bo had sbroad. In this last rospaot, the failuro hag boon most oxtonsive, Mr, ‘Wolls, sponking from tho record, anya: “Tho prico paid by the con- sumors in this country for their woolon cloth- ing 18 nearly 50 por cont in oxcoss of that paid by thd poople of any othor nation our compoors inwoallh, civilizatlon, and population,” Tho rosult of all this s, thnt tho tarlft of 1867 carrlod with it tho burdon of othor taxes, Tho men who undertook to make woolon goods ox- olusivoly out of Amorican wools had to confine thomsolvos ‘to particular linos of production. An fwcrntocklng of themarket followed, and, the pridos boing groatly nadvanced, consumption was roducod, Thoy tound themsolves, also, taxed on evorything they Lad to uso, from tholr angino to tho oll, from tho dyes to the goap, When - thoy paid all these taxes they found thomsolvos no Dottor off than thoy wore Votoro, oxcopt that tho forolgn manufactiiror, bolng ot Uborty to buy wool in any market, could soll his goods in tho United Btates in compotition with thom. The supply of forolgn ‘wools, nceded to mix with Amoricanwools to produca fino goods, boing out off,-that branch of buslnoss was givon up, and i now practically in tho hands of Europoans. Tho domand for natlve wool for this purpose no longor oxisting, the, amount neoded for manu- faoturing Lias diminished. The wool-grower Lins, thoroforo, a moro rostrioted markoet for hia wool thanhio had in 1867, and ie compolled to pur- chaso moro goods manufactured in Europo, or made of foroign wool, than he evor had to do boforo. Ho has boonmndo an incrensed con- sumor of foroign wool, and is compolled to pay tho vory tox which ho was gulled into neking, under tho protenso that ho shonld have thohomo markot, to the exclusion of tho forelgnor, The way that tariffa aro mado is shown bya disoussion boforo tho Committoo of Ways and Menns, last winter. It will bo romomberod that, by the act of 1872, macaron! and vermicollt wero placed on tho froolist, Mr. Dawos eaid it was done by inndvertenco, When Congréss mot, -in Decomborlast, tho solo Amorican manufacturer of .macaroni went to Washington to Insist wpon bo- ing proteoted by a tax of 86 per cont on the pub-~ Iio for hib bonofit, Ho Was permitted to make a spaoch to tho Committeo, In which ho stated that, In consoquence of macaroni boing placed on the froo list, ho Was competled to soll his macaroni at 15 cents o pound, whon, boforo tho chango, ho got 20 conts for- it; and this afilic- tion, which took & conts & pound out of his pockot, ho (nsmnrl_ El,wu!d bo romedisd by a ro- enactmont of tho. tax. Tho following then oc- ourred: i R .

' An interosting cago has recontly arison In' the Pennsylvania Dontal Collogo, touching tho ac- tion of tho Faculty in expelling two fomalo stu- donts. The two ladica entored ns studonts of the Colloge, at tho commencement of tho session of 1872-'78, poid thelr matriculation foos, attended the courso of lecturos, and then were informod by & resolution adopted by a mnjority of the Faoulty that they would net be permitted to at- tond tho second courso, becauseof thedissatisfac- tlon it would give to tho malo students. Tho Indies, howover, wore not disposed to yield so oasily, and appoaled thoir case to tho Trustees, who, after giving the subject long and careful considoration, decided it in their favor. Tho Trustoes say in thoir report: ¢Tho contract on tho part of tha College is an entire contract to furnish theso ladies with tho necessary instruo- tlon, by two courses of lectures, to qualify thom 28 doctors of dontal surgory, and to confer npon thom the dogree of Doctor of Dental Surgory when thoy should Lo so qualificd, And thig right was initiated from tho moment of the pay- mont of the matricalation feo, of which they caunot bo doprived upon compliance with the othor torms and requiroments of the Collego, excopt by misconduct on tholr part.” Every fair-minded person will agreo with the decision of tho Truatoes, and will rejoico that the ladies are fun o fair way to obtain thoir fight, notwith- standing the protests of the futuro male tooth- pullors. Tho importa at New York during the last weolt of March, 1878, hiad a goldvalue of $14,000,000. From this it appoars that tho heavy taxes under which Congress is opprossing tho pooplo, to pro- toot tho manufacturers from foroign compoti- | tion, do not oxclude forolgn goods. Amother significant fack on this subjoct is, that, sinco 1867, whon-wo plnced tho cnormous dutios on raw waol, the prodiiction of wool in thq United Btates wae not advanced, but, 4n proportion to tho population, was loss In 1872 than it was in 1807; whilo in Canada tho production of waol, in tho samo flvo yoars, has more than doubled. ‘Wo have actually reduced the proportionato amount of Amorican wool, have stimalated its growth in Canads, and have lnrgely incroassd our importations, not only of foroign woolen goods, but of foroign raw wools, [t — Tho Btato of Tounessoo is in dangor of embar- ragsoiont, owing to tho faot that a majority in the Logislature cannot bio found having the cour- agoto lovy a tax sufliciont to meet tho payments roquired during tho year.
