The Thicage Titbune, 1873. Friday Morning, July 4, Northwestorn Common stock has boon dull since the groat cornor last fall, whon it was so lively. Wall stroot rumor has it that hoavy operations are now contomplated in this stock, which may make its fluctuations oxco more & basig for active speculation. 2 "naw York Lins o Bunday liquor law which, from time to time, ins beon vigorouely enforced, and then siffored to lopso. Tho Board of Ex- ciso Commisslonors bhavo rosolved that, afior tho 13th inst., it must again bo enforced. Thoy tlsgs beor—Ilngor or malt—among intoxicating liquors, and hold that its sale on Bunday is in violation of tlio law. An old st ory, with now victime, ia told this morning of the swindling of somo fourtoocn Gorman omigrants, who camo to this country, menning to come to Ohicago, where thoy bave. friends. Unwilling to .accopt pub- lic charity in Now York, while walting remittances from their frionds in this city, they sought immodiato employment in that vicinity, This thoy wero.promised by a fair- spoken man who decoyod thom on a stenmer and carried thom toNorth Carcling,nssuring them that this wag on their way to Chicago. Thero they remained nearly two months, drudging at tho Lardest kind of plantation work, with no pay, aud the monnest food, and have just suceceded in begging their way back to Now York. ‘When tho Canzda Pacific Railway Invosti gating Committeo mot yostorday to re- sume their inquiries, thoy found their courso blocked by the Government. The Tmperial authorities snnounced that, by virtue of thoir prerogative, thoy disallowod the act of the late DParliamont giving the Committeo power lo examine witucsses under oath, Tho point was immodiatoly raised by tho croatures of tho Government that their {nstructions did not permit the Committes to examine witnosses excopt under oath, and that, thereforo, thoy must suspond operations. Baf- flod by this official strategy, tho Committeo ad- journod without taking auy action, —— Dofaulter Goorge 0. Evans, of the Ponnsyl- vanis Tronsury Ring, who was appointed by Gov. Geary agent for tho collection of the Stato war clnims, aud forgot to mako roturna of a triflo of sovoral hundred thousand dollnre or so which ho collected, is being still pursued through the courts of Ponnsylvania. Judga Bhars- wood, of tho Bupreme Court; yestordsy ovor- ruled the docision of a lower court, and hiold that Iivang was rosponsible for not having mado theso roturns. His ploa that Gov. Goary had vorbally oxcused him from doing #0 was inad- migsible, for tho Governor had no authority to voleaso him from tho dischiarge of Lis official duty. By tho injunction isxued day boforo yestorday,. 8t the instanco of the Goverumons counsol in the Crodit Mobilior suits, tho Union Pacitic Railway is forbidden to pay any intorest to bond- holdors whoso stock was got directly or in- directly through tho. Credit Mobilier or its corrupt contracts, Payment of tho July interoot was accordingly mado yostorday only to thoso who waore ablo to declnre that their stocl came fromcloar hands. Tho Government coun- g0l aro roported to bo owbarrassed in their sult by opposition of ‘tho Union Pacifio Rail- road, although that Oempauy promised to ho noutrul. Un this undorstanding it was not in- cluded in tho bills drawn against the plandor- ers of tho rond and the Government. If tho Company {8 trying to thwart the Government, os roported, its conduct is tho loss creditable from tho faot that the suits, it successful, will conduce rololy toits bouefit, not to that of the Govorn- ment, The Chicago produce markets wore loss activo yosterday, Mess pork was quiet and 60o per brl highor, closing at $14.90@16.00 cash, and 216.16@15.25 soller August.

Oattlo ond shoop woro unchang Tho public have becamo woaried of the stream of dispatches from Washington concorning the gnilt and innocence of Maj.-Gen, O. O.

Somo yoara ago tho Houso of Reprosontativos invosti- gotod Howard's businoss, and vorious dame sging facts woro olioitod; but, bocause tho invostigation was moved by Tornando Wood, tho Iouss doclarod that mo patriot liko Qon.

The acousing parties aro Gov- ornmont officors, Those ofiicors roport a dofloit for which thers {8 no sufiiciont cxplanation, Tho law points out tho proper courss to follow, and wo suggost to both partios at Washington to begin the investigation boforo somo kind of o COourt, and lot tho publio havo tho results, It Gon.

In its prosont shapo the Howard cage ia & nuisanco. — The libol suit against the Now Orloans Pica- tning, which had so tragical an onding, sooms to have beon ns much n disgrace to jurisprudence as tho antecodont clrcumstancos wore to -logiala- tion and constitntionnl government, Tho Ploayune oharged bribery, fraud, and porjury on Judge Hawkins—bribory In that he rocctved the Judicinl offico a3 & componastion for the part ho bod takon a8 o momber of tho Lynoh Board of Oanvassors; fraud and porjury, in that bhe had propared eund cortifiod to the oloction of Btato officors and a Loglalaturo without having any roturns boforo him. The ciroumstancos and tho contoxt showod that tho bribory, fraud, and perjury charges rolated to thoss publio transnotions. Tho legal dofinition of bribory roquires that s person so obarged slill have takon a sum of monoy, or othor con- sidoration having & money valuo, for tho por- formanco of an officlal act, That of porjury roquircs that tho porson shall have knowingly end willfully sworn faleoly. It was, of course, impossible for tho Picayune to prove that Hawking, at tho timo ho served on tho Lynch Bonrd of Osnvassers, know that ho would bo appointed Judga a8 a roward for his acts, or that, at tho timo ko cortificd to tho cauvass, ho know it wnes falso canvass. Technieally, thore- foro, the Picayuna was guilty of libel. Morally it was not guilty, though it wonld have been bot- tor, of courso, if it had deflnod exactly what was meant by bribery and perjury in tho caso of Hawkine. Thoe sult was tried beforo Judge Lynch,—supposed to be s noar rolative of tho colobrated jurist of that namo. Tho jury con- sistod of * pix ignoraut nogroes and six white men.” A correspondont at Now Orloans thus desoribos tho sone in the jury-room : Tho case was given to tho jury on Fridoy, snd at 6 o'clock on Friday evening tho jury cama into court and eatd 1t was imposaiblo for them to agroe. The jury wero then locked up fna hot, close, sultry room, in this tropical climato, tho wholo of Friday night, with- out sleep and without rest, for they hsd no bara to protoat them against tho swarma of ravonous moaqul. toos that aro to bo found about tho Court butldings, Ou Baturdsy morning the jury stood sa it did tho provious evening, and Judge Lynch sent thom word that ho intended o confine thom until thoy did 8groo. Tho jury, aftor belng locked up all doy Bat- urday, was brought into tho Court-room ot § o'clock, whon tyo of tho Jury told Hawkins' Judgo “that it was impossible for them to ogreo. Thoy woro thon, in an incolent and insulting manner, ordered Vack to tho closo, sultry room, and told if thoy did not agres by 0 o'clock that ovening thoy should remain im- prisonod until they did agreo, Befors tho hour of 9 o'clock Saturday ovening eame, thoonly two Democratio mombora of the jury wero puid & cortain sum of ‘money, and promised a much Inrger sum if they woull agreo with tho majority, Thinking that this woulduo suffiefont cause to fnvalldatothelr verdict, and Wishing\o got out of prison and awsy from thoheat and mosqultoes, thoy consanted to & verdet, mtoudiug to toll the Judge all about It, Whon the hour of 9 o'clock Baturday night arrived ovorybody was surprised to Dear tho jury halagroed, Whon the vordict was an- nounced, theso two jurymon wanted to oxplain, but Judgo Lynch, in & moet rudo and insolent manner, stopped thom, snd ordered the gas to bo put out. Thedo Jurors, Liaving 10 oiher altornative, Lave since mado afildavits that they weva Lribed, nd that they ouly consented to tho vordict tagot rid of the torturo of tho mosquitacs, tho heat, and the closo confinemonts 1t was under theso circumatances that Jacob Hawkius got a vordlct agaiust tho Picayune for $18,000, ——e, THROUGH FREIGHT AND THE ILLINOIS AW, Tho Ratlrond Commissioners of Iilinois havo given anopinion that the pro rata principle of tho mew Mallroad law must be applicd ta froight, shipped from other States after it reaches tho border of Ilinois, whetheritbe in transitu soross tho Blate, or dostined for any given point within the State. At tho samo timo, information comes from Des Moines of an opinion shortly to bo announcod by ono of the Tourts of Tows, to tho offeat that freight con- tracts modo in Towsa to any point in Ilinois, over roads operated in both Town and Ttlinols, will bo binding, irrespoctivo of the logal rates {n Tllinois. Thore is no donbt that tho opinion of tho Town Court is based on good" law, and will bo sustained. Tho Railroad Com- minzlonors of Illinois would do well to securo tho enforcoment of tho now law in their own State, and demonstrate its usofulness, bofore thoy undertnko the rathor dificult task of forcing it upon othor States, Both tho law and the jutorosts of Illiuoia aro opposod to tho posi- tion which tho Railfoad Commissiouers Lave taken., The Constitution of tho United Btates Bnys that *‘Tho Congress shall have power to regu- Iate commaerco with foroign nations, and among the scveral Slates, and with the Indlan tribos." It is o woll-dofinod prineiplo of law that a powor bolonging to Congress bolongs thero oxclusive- ly, subject tono limitation or quallfication ox- copt a8 doflned in tho Constitution itsolf, Judgo Cooley, in his troatiso on Constitutional Lin:ita- tions, holds thnt the power thus acquired is su- premo. Thore {8 nowhere In the Constitution of tho United Biatos anything which conld bo con- struod as a limitation of tho power of Congrese “toregulate commerceamong the soveral States, This power is thorofore exclusive, and noithor tho Btats of Illinols, nor any otuer Stato, nor any othor legislative or judicial power, can aa- sumo it It liag been held by the Supromo Court of tho Unitod Statoa that commerco among tho aovyoral Btatos can moan nothing moro than ind tor¢ourso among thoro Biates for tho purposcs of trade, bo the object of the trade what it may. This intorcourse has beon held ta include *all the moaus by which it can be carried on, whothor by tho free nnvightion of the waters of tho eoveral Btates, or by @ passage over land through the Slales, whoro such pasaago bocomes mecessary to tho ecommorcial inter- courko botweon tho Btatos." Thore is nothing amblguous about this langusge. It would be oloarly unconatitutional for tho Stato of Illinola rolations to this Stato, or {n rolations with Now York ¢n transitu noross this Btato, Tho Rail- rond Commissioners might just as woll announce that froight shippod from Obinn to Great Dritaln, which goos by wny of tho Pa- ciflo - Road, and passes through Iltinols, must be govorned by the Illlinoia law from tho timo it ronchen ono bordor of the Btate until it pnesos out at tho other. Tha Railrond Com- miesioners would thereby’ undertako to rogulato commorce, not only among tho sevorn! Blatos, but with forolgn nations, Wo are curlons to know what powor the Commissioners will invoke to onforco tholr conatruction of the law. "Tho constitutional powor to rogulate commorco among tho movernl Btates was vosted in Con- groeg, ovidontly with the purposo of prohibiting any Stato from sdopting o restrictive policy in its commoroipl rolations with otkor States, If it wore lawful for Illinoia to rogulato railrond charges on tho froight shippod from other Btates, or to nbrogato contracts of sny kind mado in othor States, it would bo equally lawful for othor Biatea to assumo this powor with roference to Illinofs, Indiana nod Ohio on tho enst, Missouri and Kentucky on tho south, and Iowa and Kansas on the woest of Iilinols might, and probably would, mako laws rogulating the commorco of Illinofs. If they should adopt tho pro rata principlo and moke it applicable to Illinois froight going north, south, enat, and woat, it is obvious that Illinols, bolng contrally located, would be shut ont from trade on all sides, and tho location which is now pecu- larly advantagoous would thoroby bocomo a fatal mistortuno, Illinois wonld bo nt the mor- oy of tho other Btatos, Wo could not ship our grain cast, nor bring our merchandiso wost, nor send our manufactured articles north and sonth. Obieago would soon conseto be o groat trado-gens tro, and tho vast syatom of railronds loading to Tllinois ml’gm ng woll bo abandoned. This would bo tho inevitablo result of the polioy ‘which the Railroad Commissioners prosumo that tho Logislaturo intouded to inaugurato with tho new Railrond Inw. THE DAY WE OELEBRATE. The day wo colobrato has arrived, snd it is therefore inoumbent upon ench oitizen of Chica- 80, wo prosume, to manifest tho mensuro of pa- triotism which ho possesaes by such demonstra- tions in his back-yard of o Star Bpangled charac-~ tor g boat comport with his digmty and conven- ionco. Tho occaelon, howover, which gavo birth to the Fourth of July is now so romoto in nation- al history, and the American pooplo have suffor~ od somany potty tyrannics sinco tho English yoko was broken, that tho primal menning of the day haa becomo quite indistinct, Tho result is that the colobration of the natfonal anni- voraary has of Iato years beon of & vory lotorogenoous description, There is ono class of poople who mako a Fotish of Fourth of July, and fall down and worship it. The other claga declarea it a nuisance and runs away from it, if it is possible to run away; if not, it boars tho infliotion with philosophical composure, and rojoicos whon the last rooket sputtors itsolt away in the clouds, and tho eagle scroams Lis laat soream. Tho former class is consciontious in its Fotish worship, and, like a trua dovotoo, is ready to bo crushed undor tho wheols of the national juggernaut, or to sacrifico itself in gome othor manner. Bomo mon blow off two or three fingers, or even give up nn arm or a log to their Fotish. Bmall boys will cheerfully fill their faces with gunpoywdoer, or sacrifice ono oyo. Some mon will got drunk and fall into thoe river. Some will got drunk, and, in the rosultant fights, snc- rifico thomsolves by cold lend or steo). Some will chieorfully contribute & smashed buggy, & wracked horse, and two or threo brolkon ribs, Othors will sot fira to their houses or stores, and manifost their dovotion by o gonoral illumi- nation. Others will ill themsolves to ropletion with groon poas,. enenmbors, and mint Juleps, and have tho cholora morbus. |Tho othier class of people has already flown from tho torture of Fourth of July to romoto green pnsturcs, far off sen consta anddistant obscurohamlets, whore tho cagle nover sonrs, and the Star Spangled Bannor, if it waves at all, waves in o bocoming manner; where tho Fourth of July orator is as yot unlknown, and small girls in whito havo somo- thing olso to do bosides riding round in chariots and making themaclves sick with ica cronms and lomonade. The Fourth of July wil' linve plenty of colo- brators. Thero is no doubt of that, Thore will bo plouty of noiso, Thorois no doubt of that, also, Thore will be plenty of accidents, orgnal- ties, fines, haps and mishaps, also. Thero is no doubt of that, eithor. But atill tho question If we must blow our logs off, and burn up our Louses, aud firo rockots through our noighe bors' vitals, and get patriotically drank, and keop tho' evorlasting bird scroaming, why not have some motivo for it? Why not Lliayo somo method in our madness ? For nearly o hondred years wo have beon celobrating declaration of indopondenco from British power, and hailing Columbin's horoes of tho Henven- born band, who fought and bled in Freedom's sncrod catse, and also thoso Amorican tars who ** Douead tho royal onsign so handy, ob!" Why not for the snko of varioly, at loast, have a chiangs in the programme ? Thoro I8 no immo- diato danger of British tyranuy at present, nor in it probablo that wo shall ever again have to pay taxes to Her Most Graclous Majosty. Why, then, firo the Amorican heart and tho Chineso cracker ovory July? Why not got np a new Declaration of Indepandence? Tho farmors have nlready got tired of patriotio business whon there is nothing to bo patriotic sbout, and shooting &quibs ot the forolgn tyrant who oxists no long- to pasa a law which should constrain tho com- morcial intoreaty of Jowa or Minucsotain tholr or, and Lavo got up o Fourth of July of thoir own, with & bran-now Declaration of Indopend- enco. Why should not tho wholo American poople go and do likowiso ? Thore fa just ns good caugo for a Deolaration of Indopondonco now aa thoro was a hundred yonra ago, Tho ovila which Xing Georgoe and his mintons inflictod upon us wore no worso than the ovils which are now inflicted upon us in the namo of lToyalty. Lot us declaro oursolves freo from tho corrup- tiona of party ; from abuses of power ; from tha monopolies of hugo, overgrown corporations ; from the dictation of political bummers and scallawags ; from tho frauds and pooula- tions of carpot-bag knaves; from tho spacnlations and swindlings of Indian agonts ; from defaulting Government officlals; from Crodit Mobillera; from baole salary grablers; from intorforonco with Btate Govornmonts; from rotton insnrance com- panies and collapsiug banks; from hot corn and grain-gambling; from wheat cornoras and stock bubblos; from bonzine whisky and logislativo lobblos ; from omotlonally insane murderers ond frec-love moandal-mongers; from filthy alloys and cholora-brocding slums; from fanati- oal Puritans and orazy froo-thinkora; from Jorsoy ciampague and domestlo eigars § and, kn recnrs: What are wo making all tho fuss about? genoral, from long-windod Fourth of July orators, fira-ornokers, docomposing vogot~ ablos, eky-rockets, haud-organs, high taxes, nitro-glycorlue in brown papor packagos, Banyon, bunko, texes on pigdron, in- toloranco, Dblgotry, stupldity, and ° othor ‘blossings which aro vouchsafed to us undor our Ropublican form of Governmont in this yoar of graco and Ropublicanism, 1873, Burely, hero aro griovances onough for & pow Daclaration of In- dopondonco, and matoria! suflicient on whioh to got up a firat-class colobtation, with guns, anvils, trumpots, bolls, and banners, Tho old Fourth of July has becomo mouldy' with sgo. Lot us shoot off our flre-crackers for somothing now ond vital, and, if wo must snorifico oursolvos to our Fotish, do so with tho consclousnoss that wo aro contributing our logs, arme, and fingors, and distressing our insurance companics, for somo- thing froshor than & ocontenarian reminisconce: And all this wo can do without any sacrifico of patriotism or any diminution of flag, osglo, or fire-crackor, PUTTING DOWN THE FARMERS' MOVE- MENT, ! Wo print n rathor inclsivo article from the Onnton (I11.) Register upon tho subjoct of tho Farmors' Movemont. Tha Register is edited by a votoran ofice-holder and offico-manngor, and o leading, active Ropublican. Tho Regisier Is at lonst honost, and consoquontly bpon in ita hos- tility to tho Farmors' Mqvement, Tho great majority of tho Ropublican papors, though op- posed to any Farmors' organization, havo beon patting tho farmorson tho head, ss paronts do voxed childron, urging them not to ery, and promising that tho Ropublican party wonld do everything nocossary to mako thom happy. Tho Register, however, is no boliover in tho peace polioy, and considering that, when sny man un- dortakos to Linul down tho party flag, it {a the duty of Republicans to ehoot him on tho spot, it declaros war upon tho Farmors' orgunization, treating it aa it would treat any other concorn intendod to destroy tho party now in possossion of tho officos. Tho Register doclarca in sub- stanco that tho Farmers havo no griovances of which o complain, or, if they have any, thoy can't dofino them, It iusists that, as laborors, the farmiord aro onjoying oll the blossinga of the capital invested in railroads, without any of the rosulting ovile. As a natural consoquoncs, it ro- sonta tho suggoation that the *logislation of the country is under tho suprome control of bank- ors, stock-Jobbers, land-grabbors, and pro- fesaional politicians, to tho almost ontiro .oxclusion of those who produce the wealth and pay tho taxos” A more party papor aoting honestly must either agreo with tho Reg- ister In donying this notorious nnd solf-ovidont fact, or confoss that tho Republican party, which controls the logislation of the country, Stato, Na- tional, and Municipal, is tho dishonest, corrupt, ond recldess tool of monopoly and plunder, Tho Register thua takos isswo with tho Farmers, claiming that this is tho best governed country |, in tho world; ¢hat logislation is tho puroat; that it is as froo from corruption as is practica- blo inafallen world ; that it docanotsustainortol- erato monopoly, and that the man who would dia- turb the existing stalus by proposing reforms, or suggesting that thoro is auything to roform, is a demngoguo. Whilo wo admire tho courago of tho Register, wo donot think that bold assor- tionand flat contradiction of notorious facts will win this fight. It will hardly unscat tho judgment of o man whose corn sells for 15 centa s bushel, and who is compolled to pay 50 per cent tax on Lis horao shoes, It is hardly of any use to tell tho pooplo of the United Btates that tho Governments, Blato, National, aud Muni~ cipal, are all Republican, dnd that the Republi- can party ombracos 95 per cout of tho intolligonce and - morality of tho country. Wo noed only rofor to the exposures of tho scandal- oua logislation of Congress from 1865 to 1871 rospecting the Pacifio Railroad and the Crodit Mobilier. We need but call attontion to the railroad and othor subsidy logislation of Con- gress in tho samo period of time, Bince the party which the Register champions obtained ab- solute power in all branchos of the Governmont, there has boon continuous logislation in the in- torest and for the direct profit of monopoly that is unpracedonted in tho history of civilized gov- ernmont. Evory timo & man buys a shirt or n bianket, or a womana calico dross or a carpot, there is o tax to be paid to gomobody who las obtained spocial logislation from Cone gress. The man who Las topay thoso taxes, the product of whose toll is thus taken from him at every point’ without considoration, ‘is not likoly to accept as trne the declaration that tho Ropublican party hns ecstablished law and justico in such porfection the fraud, monopoly, oppression, aud taxation aro things wholly unknown in tho land. Just at this moment the perty leaders in Congress are enjoy= ing tho plundor ncourad by tho Salary-Grab nact of tholast soseion, The Farmers of tho West bavo just had presentod to them, by Sonator Carpenter, o vindication of tho policy of adding #omo millions of dollara to the salarics of tho public oficers, and of takinga millionanda half of dollnrs back-pay. The Republican party onnoted this Inw, the Ropublican Presidont gava to it his approval, and the porsons dofonding it, or douy- ing that it was o disgraceful steal, aro mainly mombors of tho samo party. Thoso facts (and tho niomory of overy tax-pay- or will readily supply olhors) aro not calculated to Impress tho Farmors of the gountry with any doubt of tho statomont that tho logislation of tho country s intho hands of jobbora, land- grabbers, and .profossional politicians, who aro the tools of monopoly. Tho Republioan party waa organizod by mon for a ‘specifle purposo, ‘That purposo beiug accomplished, it has not hnd, &lnco thon, any function but to hold oftices, nud divido among ita managera tho plundor resulting from rockloss and corrupt logislation and ad- ministration of tho Government.

Thoy lo at tho bottom of all the presont om- Darragsmonts of tho farmors and the oppres- slons of transportation. Natural attrac- tions, such s are found in the for- tility of tho sols, tho mobrieiy of the pooplo, the facilities for oducation, the mineral rosources of tho country, eto., are all-sufficient.

The roaction has como in tho Wost from tho overdoso of artificiul atimulants which Eastern speculators have applied to omigration in their own interest, and woe are now suffering. from it. ‘Tho particnlar stimulant afforded by Eastern enpital to which the North American refers i tho building of railroads in sections of the coun- try where thoy aro not yot needed, Wo havo hod too much of this, and the soomer it is checked tho bettor for all concorned. Weo do - not ‘bolieve that it would bo in tho naturo of o misfortune for tho country at Iarge if tho Northorn Paciflo, the Texas Pacific, the Atlautio & Pacific, tho Canads Pacifio, and a good many othor uncompleted and supor- fluous railroad projectas wero brought to a sud- don standstill. Wherover a railroad is needed, and promisos fair returns on a logitimato basis, capital will always bo forthcoming to provide it. Wo want no othors in the West. Wo bave slroady too many of the subsidized and un- profitablo kind. Tastorn capital has boon chiof- Iy engaged in “stimulating immigration” for tho past fow yoars by building railronds in or- dor to socuro onormous land-grants, snd Stato and municipal subsidies. Thoe land-grants ond subsidies have beon tho main con- sidorations, Tho railroads have beon built simply for tho purpose of dividing these land-grants snd subsidies smong the spoc- ulators who have engineersd them through Con- gress, and Stato Xogislatures, and County Boards, and Town Councils. Tho railroads once built, it bocamo nocessary to soocure patronago enough to pay the operating oxpenses. Thon bogan tha systom of sending emigration ngents abrord. Thoy havo eatablished thomselves in ‘various soctions of Burope, and made tho ropre- eontations which their employors havo inatructed them to malko, and havo actually cronted a publio opinion at homo that they are doing a good thing for Amorica. Thoy picture tho particular seo~ tion of tho country through which their railroad runs to bo a rich, luxuriant garden, thaugh it may be as barron as the desorts of Sabars, and to abound in milk and honoy, though its sole products may be snge- brush and grasshoppors. Thoy havo certainly stimulated eomigration. - They have induced’ peoplo to buy tickets from Europa to hypo- thetical stationa in the iuterior of Amoricn. Once transplanted, the poople must mako the bost of it. They go to work and raise corn and wheat. Thoy aro cither too far from market to ronch it without eating up the grainin traus- portation, or they ereato a glut in tho market, so that nobody can soll corn at a profit, and thoro *| Isnothing for them to do but to burn the surplua 88 fuel. This is tho situation of to-day, the consecutive and logical rosult of tho artificl stimulanta which speoulators and Innd-jobbors havo furnished to immigration. Xt this ia tho Lkind of stimulant which the Philadelphia North American proposos to stop, our answor ia that it canuot bo stopped too soon. The rallroad companies that are now sponding so much monoy in drumming up immigration for tho immediato bonofit of the capltalists who own *tho adjoin- ing lands," will scarcely bring torror to tho loarts of Wostern farmors by announcing tho intention of discontinuing this practico. ———— Baron Juliug Reuter, the foundor and hend of tho European Nows Agenoy, which corresponda to tho pross nsgoclationa in this country, has mado tho visit of tho Bhgh of Persin to Eng- land of somo mccount to bimsolf, Mo haare- coivod a most romarkable concosslon fram *tha King of Kings,” whioh, it tho Porsian monarch koops good faith, will make him absoluto Dicta- tor of Porsls.
