The an- nouncomont bad sn instant offect. upon tho valuo of tho comn in storoand tho corn market gonorally, Thore woro, on tho doy this advortisomont appeared, over 4,000,000 bushols of corn in storo in Chiengo. Tho dopreciation of this stock of corn is now an avernge of 11 conts o bushols, or 80 por cont, oqual to tho an- nibilation of tho wholo valuo of over 1,000,000 bushols. During tho intorval sinco that an- nouncoment, 1,000,000 bushels, proviously ship- pod, has atrived horo, and anothor million bush- law could bo mado than (his, ns it corrosponds notonly to tho lotter but to tho spirit. Tho application of thin tariit will tost thio offoct of tho pro rata provision, bring out its morits, and show its dofocts.’ Thoro are al- rondy ovidoncoes oll along the lino of tho roads running north and south that the inorenso of ratos at compoting points is producing & spirit of apposition to tho lnw which did ‘not oxist ot tho timo of ita ndoption ; and in somo’ placos, whore there wns o domnand for tho pas- ungo of just such a law, thero is now o dirpoaition to condomn thoso who voted for it. If, on tho othor Lnnd, tho advantages of tho lnw shall bo found to oxened tho defocts which aro alroady apparent, the majority of the poople will probably insist upon its rotontion, and tho losors by the change will have to submit. Oue of tho first of tho noticonblo resnlts of applying the law {8 tho abandonment of tho Quincy trado by the Burlington Rond. It was known at tuo outsct that the rosd could bring this trado to Chicago and comply with the law without carrying tho freight of tho intermodiate points at aloss. The Quincy trade which has Lieratoforo como to Chicago will honcoforth go to 8t. Louis. Thisresult wna obyious boforetho law was passod. But thorond can carry Iown and Missouri frelght at such rates as will enablo it to recaver in thoso Btates what it loses ot Quin- oy, Itis hold that,ss tho right to rogulato com- maorco botweon the States is vested in Congroas, tho Tllinois law can nssort no control over the commorco of Towa in {ransitu. The rosult of thia polioy, it it holds, will bo to givo Kookul tho advantage of two markets in contonding for tho trado of tho country adjacont to both citios. Inthis way, trade-centres will Lo disturbed. Cliicego, Quincy, nnd tho business of the Bur- lington Road will all -be mora or less injured, and Kooluk alono will derive o bouofit from the distarbanco. As botween tho Chicago & Alton and tho Tili- nois Central Roilroads, the question will ariso whother the Tllinois Contral Rodd will be por- mitted to carry freight to St. Louis, Blooming- ton, and other compoting points, ot the same rato a8 (tho Alton Road carries it. Common Bonso and common justice would docide that it shoutd havo this priviloge, but whothor or not tho law may bo #o coustrued remains o be do- clded. Tho Illinois Contral has to mako up ita tarift with roforence to its ontiro lino, extending a8 far 08 Cairo. It cannot afford to sacrifico its other business, which it would Lavo to do, by conforming i*s *arift to tho ratos that tho Alton TRond can ostablish, on sccount of its ghortor Tun. If tho law cannot bo con- strued in such » way a3 to pormit the Illinols Contral to carry freight to Blooming- ton and Bt. Louis as low as the Chicago & Alton Toad carries it, without prejudico to its tarif® at othor points, tho St. Louis, Dloomington, and the othor compoting pointanro lott at tho morey of ono road, ns rogards this particular traffie, tlm'ugh tho other points on the Itlinois Central Rond are in no wiso benefited by tho restriction. Another point in controversy is in roference to through froights paeslng over connecting lines, For instanco, tho Burlington Road connects at o given point with » shortor road running to the Tilinois River. Tho Durlinglon Road hns-s chesper tarift than the connccting lino, bocauso it docs o largor amount of business and can afford to make botter ratos. . The question, then, ia whother froight shipped by that routo to.the Iliinois River, 8o that it gocs furtlior by tho Burlington Road than by tho otlier, may ba shipped accord- ing to tho Burlington Rcad's cheaper rato, or ‘must bo governed, when it lenves that road, by tho short rond’s higher local tariff? If the lat- tor, thon-the whole lino must abandon its busi- noss at that point, ns tho compotition of tho river will provent it from carrying {roight at the " highor rate which tho lawrequiros to be chargod. Those and othor knolty points arising out of the mew law will bo roferred to the Railroad Commissionors firat ; but thoir decision will not Lo fiual, In tho meantimo, the Toledo & Wa- bash Rond, which rune partly in Ilinois and partly in Indiana, has resolvod to anticipato the sotion of the Indiana Legislature, and apply tho pro’ rata principle, which it is forced to apply in Lilinols, all along the lino, It might as woll bogin in this way, for it is a forogono con- clusion that tho Indisua and Olio Legislaturos will pass the same kind of law boforo long, sinco its practical oftect will bo to put up o high fonco ou thoir westorn boundaries which the Ilinois farmers will not bo ablo to sealo until the pro- dits of Indians and Obio shall have beon hipped onstward. If this cut-thront policy is to Lo tejed, iv innot at nll improbable that it will lead to n domand upon Congress to intorprot and ostablish Its right to regulato commereo bo- tweon tho States, which coild bo exorcised in this cago only by virtually defeating the pro rala prinoiplo ns applied to through froights passing over-sovoral differont Statos, e ereene The Alla California recontly printed somo statintics concorning tho arrivals and departures ols has boon purchased, both suffering the onormous declino, Tho doclino also followed tho corn in transit botween Chicago and Now York, and, to somo extent, tho corn at all points In tho Bast. Asn wholo, thero was probably o 1all of 11 couts per bushol on not Joss than 10,- 000,000 bushela of corn, aqual to tho annibila- tion of value in tho hands of the holders of £1,100,000. £ 3 What was the justification for this announce- mont’ that so honvily shook tho market? Ordi- narily, whon an announcomont of hot corn is mado, tho holders of tho warchouso recoipis hnston to soll thom at such discount as may bo domanded. Tho practice hias boon for thio ware- Tiousomon, seting through thoir brokers, to buy up tho recoipts for this discroditod corn, aftor which tho hot corn coasod to oxidt. In tho caso of ono of tlteso olovators, howover, tho holders of tho rocoeipta at this time changed the practico; thoy prosented their roceipts for the 23,000 bushols of corn posted,ns “hot,” when it appeared thatthero werd only 1,500 bush- ols of corn in any way affooted intho clovator, and that this was damsgod not moro than 2 cofits on tho bushel, while all tho rest wns per- foctly sound. Tho other. discredited elovator has not yot been heard from. Now tho ontire actual damago sustained by all tho corn in that olovator did not oxceod $80, snd yot tho advor- tisoment that corn to tho amount of 28,000 bushels was hot had the effect of robbing holdera of corn to the oxtont of $1,100,000 or ‘more. The timo has not bson long sinco falso slarms of hot corn were port of the trado. Mot corn was fthen o rogular busi- ness, On ono occasion, within tho mem- ory of most of tho prosont goneration, &l corn in a cortain warchouso was doclared to bo hot, ond the nmount was very largo. Thoro was sn immedinte sacrifico of roceipts, which tho warchousemon purchascd. Tho. holdora of ro- ceipta for a small portion of tho corn declared to bo hot concluded to draw their corn out and ship it, and, when thoy sont the vessol to tho warchouso, thero was not corn enough of any Xind in the ostablishmont, hot or cold, to moot Lo roceipts. Thore had beon no hot corn, and tho trick was resortod to to onablo the waro- housemen to buy up an ovor-issuo of receipts at & largo discount. ‘Wo do not menn to be understood a8 intimat- ing that thero hna beon auylhing corrupt or dis- honest in this transaction, Tho well-cstablished character of Mr. Hiram Wheoler, who is at tho hond of the warchouse combination, porhaps ex- cludes any presumption of that kind ; but the poople boyond tho 8ity, and even in tho city, will fail to distinguish betwoon two casos having many similar fonturcs. And for this ronson an instant romedy should bo adopted. Tt would have boen infinitely cheaper for tho Board of Trado tohavo purchased all tho corn in that ole- vator and thrownit into tho lako, than have it go forth that tho alarm of hot corn was falso, and that tho gredt loss and dopreciation in the mar- kot should have failon upon poople who deal with this ety in good faith. That tho condition of hot corn can bo pro- vonted by the employment in warehonsos of mnchinory for the vontilation, drging, and clennr ing of tho corn from time to ilniwo, is concoded Why should it not be adopted? Why should i not bo mado compulsory ? Why should ndt, the warohousomon themsclves provido it, giving to thoir customers full socurity against hot corn, for which the public will as readily pay as they do for any othor insurance.” Wo insist that the TBoard of Trado ennnot, In justice to their own charactor, nor in justico to tho charactor of the clty, pormit this disgraceful business to go un- noticod, nor withont o strong offort to pro- vido o provantive againat its future ropetition. It waa ‘hopod that the odlum onco attaching to tho warchionzo business had passod away for- ever; but this transnction, innocont as it may bo, is caloulatod to rovivo It with fncrossod force in all parts of tho country. —e BUTLER IN MASSACHUSETTS, Toports from Massachusotta indicate that thoro is actually no opposition to the Republi- can nomination of CGon.

This is presumably the rosult of & compoat botwaen the Republican politiciana of that Btato, of which wo honrd more or loss at tho timo Bocrotary Doutwell was elected to the Umtod States Sonate, Gon, Butlor met with obstinato and snccossful opposition two years ngo whon lio startod out in the Gubernato- rial raco, and-it is fair to prosumo that tho anme opposition wonld nssert itselt now if it wero not in consideration of pomo agroomont within tho party, edopted with tho purpose of o sotisfactory distribution of the offices, and of maintaining hormony among the party lendora, , A Ropublican majority of 75,000 i claimod in Mnscnchusotts, so that, it Gon.

Thoro is little prospeot that Butlor will volunta- rily draw oft from the flold.

In tho firsb cado, tho election of Gon. Dutlor as Governor ‘of Massachueotts would dofinitoly dotormiue tho rosponsibility of tho Ropublican party for tho individual and offlalal corruption that hea boon dovoloped un- dorits domination, Gon. Butlor stands beforo tho country as tho avowod champlon of nll that tho poopls have united in condomning.

It will bo an opon party 20cognition of what hoa alrosdy boen charged,— that tho organization is sustalnod eololy for the purposo of solzing and dividing the spoils.

A roformor who doliborately sots herself agoinst law and order ‘and. ordinary eonsis- toncy, ond rushes into -a broach without judg- mont or eeneo, raroly oxcites commisora- ‘tion when sho comes o griof. This hos ‘boon especially truo of Miss Anthony sinco her arrest for illogal voting. Almost the eontire fratornity and sorosis of advocates of women's rights, fooling that sho was in » ridicalons place, havo loft her to fight out hor battlo slone, and she hna come out van- quishod. Tho doclsion of Judgo Hunt is an omi- nontly sonsible onc, and hin treatment of tho caso ‘was dignified. His rofusal to sond tho case to- tho jury.was proper, as thore wero no quostions of fact to bo decided, Tho admission was made that sho wos o woman and that sho had voted. 1t was - cloarly onongh a violation of tho Stato | statutos, and that tho Stato statutea woro suffi- ciontly brond to cover tho caso had slready been doclared by tho decisions of the United Btates Supromo Courtin tho Louleiana Abattoir and tho Myra Bradwoll cases. i Tho crowning mistake which Miss Anthony mado was in attompting to capture the ballot by forco, and tho mistake was as fatal as that com- mitted by thoso misguided eroatures who seck to tako the Kingdom of Heaven by violenca. This forciblo attack upon suffrago has long hoon threatenod by tho leaders of tho movemont. Tt s beon moro than onco dimly indicated by Mra. Stanton. Yoar after yoar passod by, however, and the champion did not appear who was to golzo “tho banmer, slhout tho battle-ery of froedom, nnd storm tho stronghold. The rats lhad many mootings and conn- solod long and nolsily boforo thoy could find the gallant rodent Who would agroo to tie the bell to tho oat. At last Miss Anthony, with moro zoal than wisdom, undortook the work, and tha rest stood by at o enfo distance, Tho rosult is appa- ront, and is probably satisfactory to every one ‘but Miss Anthony. Weo do not know that thero Is any particular consolation we can offer Miss Anthony in hor soro straits, oxcept that sho has onjoyed ono of man's rights—tho right to voto illegally and bo punished for it. No other woman has ovor.en- joyod it, so that sho has the advantage of being singular in this respoot, if that can be called an advantage. Bho also has the consola- tion of knowing that sho lhas escaped with a Tighter punishmont than is usual in such cnses. Anunforiunato masculine wrotch who should porpotrate this offonso would, in all probability, go to tho Ponitontiary, unless pardoned by the Prosident, Miss Authony get oft with a fluo of ©100, and the Court, with a falr show of gal- lantry, sdded, “'There ig no order that you stand committed until the fine is paid," so that Miss Anthony, if sho docs not hold real estate upon which s lion can attach, may go throughlife with in tho cnao in tho fack that sho couldn't have her own way.
