If tho railroads beliove, 88 many poople do, tlat an absoluto inorease of 1ates according to Incroago of distance will work sorions. injury not only to thoir own intorosts but to tho 'intoresta of agriculturo, trade, and commerco gonerally, there will nover be a bottor opportunity for domonustrating this dootrino thau by & atrict application of tho new tariff Jaw from July 1 il Jauery. Tho plan maybo costly, but it is nok apt to bo mora costly than tho expousoe of lawsuits and tho risk of incurring the ponalties prescribed for violation of tho Inw, Evasions, moroovor, for which there is un- questionably sbundant opportunitics, would load the people to bollove that the lawis actually in tho intorost of tho railronds, and that it isnot obsorved on that nccount. Tho only wise courso for tho railroads to pureus s that which thoy have actually outlined,—an obsorv- anco of tho lnw from tho beginning in order to tost its workings. Some serious rosults are approhonded from the adoption of a uniform increaso of rates according to distanco. Among those ia the probuble erush- ing out of cortain manufacturing intorosts which havo atarted in the interior of tho Btato, and lo- catod on tho lines of tho principal railrosds. By reason of tho polioy horotofore puraued by raile rond cowmpanios everywhero, of making speofal rates in order to build up business for thom- solvos, those manufncturing ostablishments havo beon able to scouro thoir matorial and ehip thoir manufactured articlos to market at & loss cost than thoy can under the oporation of the now low. Itisroported that tho Railroad Commis- sloners maintain that, if tho manufacturers can- not survive the now ordor of things, they had Yotter shut up shop. 'Tyis is not necossarily tho outcome of tho new policy. If tho manufactur- ing luterest throughout tho State finds its busl- noss motorinlly injured by tho now law, it whl add anothor olement to tho op- position, whick, by accrotion, may grow strong enough to socure & modification of the lnw upon s practical domonstration of its hardshups, B0 with the compoting polnts on Illinols ronds, which will be thrown upon the meroy of o single rond, owned and controllod in mavy cascs out- #ido of tho State, Curiously onough, tho jour- aaliatic exponents of public sontiment nt these compoting points Lavo beon smong the loudest to domand iho passage of the new law. Tho test of the next eix months may lead thom to chango their views. Tho loss of business to Clicago by renson of tho onforced abandonment by Chicago roade of tho business at stations where they are brought into competition with shorter lins, or lines not governed by tho Tili- nois law, is » necessary andserious consequence. Chicago must accopt tho loss placidly slong with tho railroads, the competing points, the amall manufscturers, and all othors who moy be dsm- nified by the vew policy. If tho rosult proves to bo o disastrous to various intercsts nsis anticl- pated 1n cortain quartors, Chicagowill bo added to the opposition, and her seven Benators and €wonty-ono Ropresentatives will aid in xopeal- ing the law or suggesting a modification that will moot thostroublo, But ss Chicago loses, 8o do the Dlinoly railronds in the diver- elon in othor dircotions of business that for- morly camo hero. If the loss to the Rock Island Company in the Peora business, which will henceforth go ovor the Toledo, Poorin & War- usw Road; be $300,000 a yoar, as it is estimatod that it will be, tho Rock Island Rosd will have to tako account of this loss in making up their tarif?, and increaso thoir loeal rates in propor- tion, Bo in ol othor cases of an actual loss of rocoipts by romson of tho uniform tariff. In such casos, tho incroase of rates will fall upon tho Illinols shippers 2s o cluss, and from smong them may bo oxpoctod reernits in favor of clianging tho law. All thoso clrcumstancos aro roascns why tho new tarif? lnw should bo applied, It can bo shown to bo good and practicablo or hurtful and impracticable boforo the noxt sos- sion of tho Leglslaturo, It i natural that tho railroads should undor- tako to secure a8 many advanfagos as possible for thomselves without & positive infringo- mont of the law. Thoy arc justified, thore- fore, in adopting tho most fuvorable conntruction of points in tho law which are open to controversy. They have uhited, for instanco, on tho position that the law of Illineis doos not apply. to any contracts made outaldo of the State with othor railronds. As an fllustration, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, tho Northwost- ern, aud thoe Rock Island & Paciflo- Roads will continue to carry out tholr contracts with Iowa lines without rogard to tho uniform tariff in Illinols. It thoy did not, tho remote producers in the Northiet would bo cut off from market altogother. The railronds will also make lower Tutes for car-loada carriod for a grontor distanco than for smallor cousignments at a loss distauco, a1 the law npplics only to “like quantitios of froight.” Tho railronds will probably be sus- Aatned by tho courts in both these points, For the rout, it is to be hopoed that thers will bo no attempt to evade tho luw, but s unity of action amony tho roads to give it o fuir trinl, It haa boon suggonted that, as Ohio is to elect 6 United Blates Houator next wiuter, Gen, Bebonck should como home and make an offort to securo the placo, as tho Sennto would boa Dettor placo for stock-jobblng than bis prosont position, and as *tho commercinl morality of tho United Btatos is eufilolently roprosonted abrond withont him,” Thia last proposition may ho truo enough, but we dread tho roforn of our diplomatio service abroad at tho terms proposed, Thoro fs no doubt that Gon, Beheuck's connoo- tion with tho FEmma Mino Company has beon very humiliating to tho American uatlon, but what would it be if thoro should bo an admiseion that tha only way of rolonalug the Unitoed Btnten from such roprosontation as this is to elect Gen, Bolionck to tho Unitod Btatos -Sonato ? .

Theso, in addition to tho gentlomon who buy thelr seats in tho Honate, would make tha relisf of owr diplomatio service vory dear at tho sacriflco of our homo intoront THE JUDIQIAL ELECTION, . ‘Wo print an artlolo from tho Now York Nation on tho late” fudiolal eloction in Iilinols, st tho close of which tho inquiry is mado whother tho priveiplos governing the olectlon of Mr, Oralg ovor Judgo Lawrenco are to bo taken.as morely a tomporary aborration, or whother they are like- 1y to bo tho govorning principles of our judicial oyatem. Wo do mot think tho oloction can bo fairly snid to havo o pormanont significanco. Asido from the fact that, on”the same day that_ Judgo Lawronce was dofonted, another man waa oloctod who hiad pointedly rotused to bo cate- chised by a convontion,—oleoted to tho eamo Boneh in anothor “‘district not a whit moro intel- ligont and virtuous thon Judge Lawronoo's,— wo think that tho olection in tho Fifth District cannot bo rogarded as o tost of the roal senti- mont of tho pooplo concorning the charncter and functions of the judiolary. It s sltogothor, @nfer to rogard it as adlsplny of strongth ngainst on ovil imperfoctly undoratood, than na & sottled purposo to docide cases in court nb tho ballot Dox. # The olection of Oralg and the dofont of Lawronce wos a mistako, which, in ita offoct, was a gront outrage. Of tho oharsctor of that outrago wo have already oxprossed our oplinion ; but it is not at all likely that ton persons can bo found in tho Fifth Distriot who will avow that they wish the Judges to decido & easo in advanco of hearing the arguments, or to dacido contrary tolnw. Tho goneral improssion created through tho country by tho rosult of tho election is not stall complimentary to the poople of the dis~ triot, It has shakon publio faith in the intogrity of tho votors, and has doubtless affeoted tho crodit of the wholo State injurionsly. That such would bo tho offect wo ropeatedly pointed out. But the olootion is over, and tho mistake has beon mado,—and it is a grievons ono in overy sonso,—~novortholoss we have no idea that any consldorablo portion of the peoplo of that dis- trict, oven of those who voted for Oraig, do- siro thot,ho ehall violate Lis officisl osth. It is fully concoded by thoso who permitted Craig to o clocted or voted for him that his oleotion was in a great mensure forced upon them, A popular stand hnd been taken sgalnat monopoly. Tho flag had boen raiged. It was for some timo & question whether Lawronce or Craig should carry it. A fow skillfal managors adroitly plannod the scheme of turning the cur~ rent against Lowzenco, In My, Oraig thoy found o congonting instrumont. In tho prosentation of Craig, a8 an oppouocnt of Lawronce, the masa of the nuti-monopolists hod mo sgency; bat ho wag ostensibly prosented in their name, and it was skillfully urged that the issuo boing made a8 to tho ability of the people to elect a candidate of their own, it would be disastrous to incur even tho appesranco of defent. For this causo thousands of votors fovorable to Lawrenco remained away from tho polls and othors voted for Cralg. It was thug that the mistake was made,—n mistake that will canse infinito trouble and expenso to romedy, and 1t was thug that one of the best and purest Judgos in tho country was saorificed, aud thus that the peoplo of tho district nequired the sort of roputation which the Nation broadly and accuratoly dofluos. That this is tho correct explanation of the olection in the Fifth District is shown by the ro- sult in the Becond Dlstrict already alluded to. Judgo Scholfield poromptorily refused to answer any questions s to what his opinions woro upon questions likely to coma bofore the Court, aud doclared ho would rathier bo dofeated than de- grado himeolf to making pledges, Yot ho was elected, His indopendence snd manliness cost him no votes among intelligont and upright citi- zons, and in that dlstrict we suppaso tho votors aroas fully propared to abandon all other party associntions and go into the * Farmere' Move- mont " as in the district which olocted Craig, ——— A YELLOW-COVERED MURDER. ‘The recout brutal murder of Mansfield Tracy Walworth by bis son, Frault Walwortl, has been mado the ocenslon of an outpouring of yollow sentimontalism, such as has rarely beon known beforo in criminal records, Pouding tho trial of tho murdoror, these statements, which are mado by all sorta of poople, from gushing young womon to butchers and barbors, who dosiro to socuro u littlo choap notorioty, ara intonded of courso {o have 'an offect both upon the public mind and tho forthcoming trial.
