Tho Favorito, with 160 oxcursionists,—just the numbor on board tho murdorous Wawasot,—was found to bo on fire, and a panic among tho pag- songers was tho natural resnlt. TFortunntely, n wessol camo alongside in timo to roliovo them of #lio necossity of jumping into the water, as tho passengors of the Wawaset wore compolled to do, and no lives ware los! Whon the damnge done by tho storm which wvisited Now York, New Jorsey, and Pounsylya- nin, day bofore yestorday, is summed up by tho aid of tho tolograpl, it is found to bo vory great. On the Erio, tho Now Jorsoy Bouthorn, tho Tenvsylvanin Contral, tho Philadolptia, Wil- mington & Baltimore, and in fact noarly overy through line in thoso threo States, many milos of track wore washod away, or 8o covered with land-slides or floods as to bo nearly impassable, Pitteburgh roporia that so violent a rainfall has iovor bofore oceurred there, and throughout tho country bridgos, oulvorts, dams, sud roadways have boen destroyed, and a gront deal of private property devastated, — Botween two Lundred and threo hundred dele- gotos, ropresonting one-third of the countios of tho Btate, wero in attendanco yestordsy at tho Towa Convontion of Anti-Monopoliats, at Dos Moinos.

Not suc- ceeding very well in crushing the organizoed in- surrections whick threaton tho Republic, and de- tormined not to bo balked of all proy, the Span- ish Ministor of State gives notice that all the in- surgents who have fled abrond for rofuge aro to bo brought back undor the extradition laws. ‘What the Govornment wants them for it is not hard to swmise, Tho inhumanity of tho Carlista at Igualadn supplics tho other speci- men of Peninsular ferocity. A large body of its dofonders, when tho town surrendored, sought protection in o church. The Carlists at once broached tho walls with thoir artillery, and then poured in strenms of burning potroloum, As tho suffocated and scorched Ropub- licans ran out, they woro picketed on bayonots. Anothior forco which had defonded the castle wero shot whon they surrondered. ————— Lord Dufforin has not boon ag good as his word, or clsa Lis avowed determination to bo govorned in his action by Parlinment bad a trenchorons monning. Yostorday, in defiance of potitions, momorials, addrosses by Parlisment- ary committeos, and the many exprossions of pub-~ lio opinion which havo besought bim to ullow the Tiouso of Commons to continuo its investigation of the Cannda Pacifio Ruilway scandal, ho pro- roguod Parlinment. In doing 8o, he announced that & Royal Commission wauld bo appointed to look into tho matter, aud that Parliament would Lo called upon ot an oarly dny to consldoer ita roport. Tho scono in the Housn of Commons when that body was called to tho Seneto Cham- ber for prorogation was one of tho most violent Qisordor. Tho miossouger of the Govornment wud grootod with dorlsive groans and Jeory, and 100 of tho 130 menmbors prosont rofueed to rospect the snmmons, A mooting of the Opposition was hold ut onco attor tho prorogu- tion, and they mean to moke Cansda very hot for the Governor-Goneral and his Cabinet.

As a componention for this gonorous offer, Lowever, Lo desirad that tho English Governmont should give him its assur- ance that, in case of any difforonces botween tho Blinh of Porsia and the Baron do Reuter, it would rocoguizo the valldity of tho latter's contract, and protoct lus rights ns a Lritish subjoct. Earl Granvillo's roply exprossod tho most lively hopo that Baron Router would have smooth eail- ing, and the groatout gratification nt tho pros- poctive improvoments in tho Shal's dominion, but aleo romarked that tho Government must rospoctfully decline to bind itself to proteot tho vonturegoms Baron. The probablo result of ts corrospondence will bo Router's ubandon- ment of tho enormous concession. o will searcely caro to undertake singlo-handed & gigantio entorprise of internal improvemonts in & country whoro the law of contraots i not very cloarly established, and where tho suproma rulor has & summary way of soitling thom in his own favor. It Is holioved that that gigantio sampla of American ontorpriso, heralded with such a grand flourigh of trumpots & fow months ago, and known as tho Ssmana Bay Company, will shortly collapse. When it was first announced that a company of New York capitalists had obtained o porpetusl lease of Bamana Bay, sund special grauts that would evontually throw the whole Island of Ban Domingo into thelr control, wo weore asked to admiro Gon. Grant's good judgment, and ecnlled upon to rogrot that wo did not sustaln his project of an- nexation. Wo woro told that the Compsny woro going to st up n Government of its own, fly o speoinl flag, tako American commerco nnder its protection, and add uncounted millions to tho wealth of this country. A Governor was dis- patched to ostablish the Company's now rule, and stoamory wero to carry off the Ameriean population faster than Burope could supply the loss, It was to bo s sccond and o grandor Enst Indis Company. But, after the firut spurt of cnthusissm, the Samann Bay Company dropped completely out of sight. The cntorprise has not beon henrd of for months; and now a corrospondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, who has boen looking it up, says that it is oxtromaly difMoult to induce anybody to talk about it. Stockwoll, the Prosi- dent, hine gone down under & load of epecula- tion which would have sunk o stronger man thon he; Yussard, the Secrotary, hua gono off to Europa, ovidently satisfied that its attrac- tions aro superior to thoso of 8an Domingo; Clows and Barlow haven't timo to talk about it; Dr. Howo, who had found & glorions misgion for. the propagation of the Ameri- can Iagle, thinks that ho hasn’t baon trented woll; Gen. Dick Taylor, who went down to Bamana Bay as a Bpecial Commissioner, failed to make a-favorablo roport; and the whole on- torprise looks liko a fizzle. It is said that Bacz did not even raceivo his firet yoar's rent, £160,- 000, and it is predicted, with n show of reason, that, if ho did, hie will nover got another inatall- ment. From the prosont prospect, tho United Btates Govornmeont is not lkely to bo involved in any intornational troubles on account of Sa- mana Bay. THIRD-TERM LITERATURE. The §t. Louis Globs (Ropublican) is satisfled that there is o purpose on tho part of a cortain portion of the party to nominate Gen. Grant for o third torm, and right manfully does it declare that such a procecding is not to bo tolerated. Tho suggestion, that bocause o third torm s not prohibited by tho Constitution, thoroforo it is proper, meets with no countonanco from tho Globe, which answers buolk thut * Thore are sov~ eral other things which the Constitution doos not forbid, but which public opinion does. It does not exprossly forbid the taking of public monoy for tho enrichmont of officials; no constitutional barrier stood in the way of tho salary-grabbors, but thopeopls will deal with thom, wo opine, much a8 the Republicans of Towa donlt with Senator Harlan, When public men affront pub- 1o opinion, they are very apt to go into private lifo,” Tho samo papor doclares that sgainst a third torm public opinion is so firmly fixed, is so uni- vorsnl and deop-rooted, that it would be mera madness in any party to aseail i6. It Qoclares that ““ninoty-nine out of an hundred Ropublicans to-day faol something very like indignation whon it is proposed that s President shall bochoson for & third {orm,” and that the party would bo * sac- rificed by & nomination which they beliove would not be sustained by tho pdople.” Tho Globe ad- vises thoso Nepublicans who favor Cumsarism that i¢ will never bo submitted to by tho coun- try, and tolls thom to ¢ quit talking of tho third- torm businoss ns if it wore even n romoto pos- sibility." Allthis is very well, but what is tho Bt. Louls Glole golng to do sbout it in case {ho Presldont says (hat, if his frionds want his sorvices:tor Prosident a third torm, ho will accopt tho ofico—tihat belng tha usual way of putting it? If the Prosident wants the nomination, ko Lns tho machinery i hand to got it, unless moro stoutly opposed than Lo seoms likoly to bo, If nominated, how is he to bo dofoated? Thero was o timo whon the poople could dofost the re-election of anin- cumbont of the Presidenoy. Can it he dono now? Can the Republiean party ftsolf go back upon its rocord in the matter of Fodora! intor- feronco in olections ? Look at tho Ponusylvania oloction of Qctobor, 1872,—iho most nofa- Mo fraud evor commilted under tho forms of universal suffrage In {his country. Lot tho RRopublicans road the roport made by Honators Carpenter, Anthony, Tl Alcorn, Trumbull, and Logan upon the barofaced, fab- ricated oloction roturns in Loulsinua, mado through the procurement of tho Fedoral officors, aud upheld and enforced by tho orders of the Presidont, and say what probabilitios thoro aro of dofonting tho re-cleotion of a Prosident who dosires to bo elooted.

R, I, Morgan, Jr., ox-Railrond Com- migsloner, hias boen nominated by the Farmors' Conventlon for Connty Tronsuror, and tho pros- ont incumbont of tho office has boon ronominated by tho Republicans, 'Tho Domocrats have mado no nomination. Col. Morgan has writton o lottor snying that in his opinfon moither of the oxisting politieal partios is competont to denl with the abuses of which thoe farmers complain. 1t is prosumed that his opponent holds tho con- trary opinfon. At all ovonts, the two Republis cnn nowapapord st Bloomingtou hold the con- trary opinton. An igeue is thus mado up, and, as wo romarked, the contost is a typieal one. Of all tho new party movements of the day, tho farmors' movoment is tho most healthfnl and promising, Wo have no fonr that it will become aun mgrarien party, or a mob party, or a law-Drenking party. We be- liovo that it will put anond or at loast givon chock to the provailing corruption in politics. Bo far ns it hine this aim and tendenoy, we shall support it. Wo do not beliovo that tho Repub- lican party can do this thing. And tho rosson is, that, whonevor any fraud or corruption is dis- covered in tho party, espocially it it bo in a high quartor, it is the boundon duty of tho party pross and politicians to defond it, and not only 80, but to stono overybody who doosn't. Take tho Leot & Btocking case, and tho Now York Custom-House generslly. It is mot too much to eay that ovory moral prin- ciplo was turned upside down by the Administration organs in desling with the eub- joct. A small portion of thom, it is truo, paid t0 virtuo the homago of silenco; thoy said noth- ing about it. Bo far na the corrocting of any albisos was concorned, thoy might as well bave beon in the Leot & Btocking interest, It was confidently promised that, aftor tho oxigencios of the campaign wore passed, a now leaf would be turnod over. Not only would the Administra- tion busy itself with needed roforms, but tho londing mon of tho party would sposk forth the words of truth and sobor- noss. Indeod, wo vontured to prodict somo- thing of this kind oursolves, Yot tho firet thing dono was {o crush Louisinna benoath tho hoel of Kellogy; aud hie crow, in defiance of tho plainest roquiremouta of tho Constitution, Nozxt came tho salary-grab, and now wo have the Fort Bnelling swindlo, A pattoring rain of small Troasury defalcations is falling all tho timo. It wo supposoe that tho Ropublican party is capable of “throwing” the railrond mon, who cortalnly have a8 many rights in the party as anybody clso has, having voted as faithfully aud pald their mouey ag rogularly ag any other class, it is por- foctly evidont that the partyis not capablo of donling with its own corruptions generally, for the roason that thero is no place to begin, The Tule i8 to hit the first mouth that opens, by way of encouraging tho rest to koop their mouths shut. Col. Morgan, if olected Troasurer of dicLean County, will talte just 08 good care of the public fands na anybody clee has over done. Nogro suffrago will bo just ae sccuro while ho is collect- jug taxes os boforo. Tho amondments of tho Constitution willbo 88 carofully maintained; and, if ho chiooses to lift up his voico against tho frauds of which Ropublicans or Domocrats aro guilty hore and thore, be will not be road out of the party in consequonce theroof, IHaving rend himsolf outy that job is performed onco for sll. 1o is now froe to speak his mind on all ocen~ slons, and wo ave glad to find him exorcising that liborty. FORT SNELLING. Tho proof of thoFort Buelling fraud is so clear and overwhelming that thoro can be no question 08 to what {ho duty of Congress and of the Gov- ornment is in the matter. 'Tho wholo transac- tion from boginning to ond is tainted with fraud, and the report of the Military Commission of 1871, and of the Secrotary of War communicat- 1ng tho snmo to Congross, is, if possible, mare suggesativo of frand than the original trada mado by Secretary Floyd in 1857, In 1857, Floyd mado 8 contract with Frankln Bteols, =& Domocratic politician, by which tho United Btates contracted ‘to convey to Btoelo 7,900 acres of land, known as tho Fort Bnalling resorvation, for $90,000, one-third to bo poid in cash, apd the balance in two oqual an- nual paymonts, Tho £80,000 cash was paid. At tho noxt sossion of Congross, tho Iouso of Tepregontativos investigated the transsction, snd tho Committoa reported tho salo to bo fraudu- lont, The Secratary of War, in consequence of this action, doclined to convoy the titlo to Bteolo, but did put him in posscssion of o portion of tho Isud and forry, at which he las ovor sivco boen collecting tolls. In 1870, ko applied to tho War ‘Dopartmont for rent sinco 1801, for the uso and ocoupntion of the fort by tho Unitod Bintos troops, demanding $34,000. A Joint rosolution was smuggled through both Tousos of Congross {n May, 1871, authorizing tho Socretary of War to seleot 80 much of tho Tort Bnolling reservallon a8 was noeded for a permanont military post, and .to “quict tho titlo”% to sald resorvation, and to sottlo all clalms rolating thoreto. Undor this rosolution, & board of three arwy officors was appointod, who oxamined tho mattor, and roported it would bo *equitablo” for the United Stntes to rotain tho 30,000, nud convey to Steelo in foo 6,894 ncros; and for Bleolo to convoy to the United Statos tho fort and 1,521 aores. Tho Becrotary of War promptly ratifiod this report, and oxcouted tho convoyanee. The Military Commisslon whao invostigated this matter, and reported tho Dbargain which Secrotary Belknap has sffirmed, make but a passing reforenco to the procecdings intho Iougo of RNoprosentatives in 1858 in ro- Intion to this matter, though that notion was sufliclent to prevent Tloyd comploting tho fraudulont sulo, but thoy travel out of their way to bolater up the legality of the ovigiual salo in tho following poragraph : Tho Attornoy-Gonoral, on the 25th of Hoptember, 1867, whous ofiotal opinfon upon the leyality of this auls was asked by the Secretary of War, auys: #Tho War Dopartment hax tho power given it by Congross fousll tho land fn question, Maving sold it, your ROVR 18 eabiaustedy Xou eui do nothivg mory gacopk to enforco tho righta and perform tho ohligationn which the ngreomont created,” This contract ontitien tho purclianer to a deed ng avon 8 ho payn ono-third of t1io prico, and glvoa * patikfactory aoourity ™ for the - romnindor, Wa call attention to thls opinlon of the Attor- noy-Gonoral, publishied in full in Tue Triune thia morning, from which tho ronder will soo that his opinion of the logality of the salo was not asked at all; the only question was whothor tho property, having beon soldunder n contract, tho Boorotary of War could change tho contraot 80 0g to lot Btoole havo 2,000 norcs freo of any lion for tho balanco of tho purchaso money. Tho Military Bonrd, thoreforo, havo assortod ns o fact that which is not true, and thoy virlually supprogs tho other fact, that tho nction in tho Houso of Roprosentatives in 1858 so stamped tho tranenction with fraud that neithor Floyd nor Bteolo daredgo further with tho mattor at that timo. Twolve “years later, Bioolo found n stato of things bottor sulted to his purposo, Associnting with him cortain Ropublicans, o doscont was mado on Congresa. In tho Houso, o Domootat wna eolooted to malte tho roport of the Joint ros- olution of 1871, and tho thing was silently hur- riod through Doth Housos, precieoly nn was the rosolution authorixing tho Postmastor-General to sottlo the Ohorpenning claim. Fortunately, tho country is not withont s romody. Tho United Btatos cannot bo bound by tho fraudulent acts of its sgents. Tho orig- inal contract made by Floyd was mover ma- tured, Dbocauso Stoolo novor mndo the two romainiug payments, nor did ho over givo mecurity therefor, He had no lawful claim at any time sinco 1858, oxcopt for the re- turn of his $80,000. Thore was nothing in the joint resolution of 1871 which can bo tortured into giving validity to tho Floyd salo to Bteele in 1857; on tho contrary, that rosolution carofully avoided any reforonco to that sale, tho object being to kaop tho froud secrot until comploted, Tho original salo bolng frandulont in purposo, and ita torms baving nevor been complied with, tho Unitod Statas aro not projudiced sa to thoeir olnim to the land by any acts of their officers in tho promiscs, Noris Congress precluded from asgorting tho national right inthis matter by tho action of Bocrotary Belknap, The prohibition of legislation impairing tho validity of con- tracts bas no application to tho legislation of Congroess, which body may, by law, doclare tho entiro transaction of Bolknap and his officors to bo null and void, and et asldo the wholo pro- tonded contract and ealo. If, during the pro- coedings, Bteclo or his assignees scquirdd any rights in tho laud, Lio can assort them at law by apropor action. What the publio Laves right to demond in, the premiges is such a dofensa of thelr righta s a private ownor would mako, Lot Mr. F. Stoclo have just what tho law will give him, snd nothing more. It is for Congress to tako tho noceesary stops, nsitcan easily do, to disposeces thoso land-grabbors, i THE CRUSADE AGAINST THE CHINESE, A gontloman sont s communication to Tue TrisuNe a day or two ago, in which ho com- plained that the few Chinamen who have come to Chicago .m& quiotly eottlod down in tho laun- dry business are alroady the objeots of ridiculo for the stroot-boys, of abuse for the car-drivers, and of potty porsecutiona by the rabble, whon- over thoy male their appearance on the stroota. A couplo of weeks ago anothor gentloman had to interfero to protect a Chinamun from agesult by & white competitor in business, though thoe only provocation which the Mongolinn had given wag, that he had started snother lauudry in the immediate neighborhood. Perhaps, also, b did botter work at fairor pricos, There is ronson to boliove that theso incidents aro sam- Ples of the persecution of the Chineso in Cali- fornia and somo of the Wostern Territorio, ‘where thoy aro found in greater numbors. A correspondent, writing from San Francisco to the Now York Tribune, takes this view of tho matter, and gives good roasons for it. Tho Ohinsmen aro porsoouted, not becauss Wo aro ruined by Chinese cheap laber,” but boosuso thoy sro Ohinnmen, Tho abuse comes from the mob classes of San Franclsco, to whom both political parties pander, At ocleo- tion-timos, tho politicians on sll sides raise tho banner of ¢ Chinese expulsion,” and the success- ful party proscribes rostrictions, imposed spocint taxos, cuts off pig-tails, in obedionce to pop- ular clamor. Experionce in other cities shows that nowspapors, Logislatures, Common Coun- cilg, convontions, and other political institutions will join in an unjust persecution for political ouds, Tho Common Council of Sau Tran- clsco have passed some infamous ordi- nancoes in this interost. Tho prosent Mayor has done himwelf credit by vetoing somo of tho most shameloss, auch as that of imposing a $15finoupon overy incoming Clinaman for vaccination (which ‘waa intondod to not as & prohibitory tax), aud tho ordinanco to deprive Chinamen of theif back Lair. But there aro oppressive local laws which aro onforced againgt the Chinecso exclusively, Ono ia that thore shall bo 500 cuble foot of air in cach room of a tenoment-Louse for every oc- cupant, and o fine of $10 {8 imposod for ovory violation, But the Chinoso tonants alone aro mado to comply with the ordinance, while the rich owners of tho tonoments, and the whitoton- ants, are not molestod. The plex that Chinese labor is driving oft white lalor is very effectually oxpleded by the eamo corrospondont, Oalifornia has 40,000,000 aores of arable lands, and a population of only 560,247 pooplo. Of thoso, 140,478 aro in Ban Yrancisco, It is preposterous to assort thatn Stnto of tho oxtont and regources of California cannot sustain balf a million people without one olass Interforing with tho ofhor, ¥t will take soveral times this population to develop it natural woslth, Tho renl trouble is, that too largo & portton of tho white population flocks fo tho ocity, instoad of availlug itsolf of tho opportunitios which the coun- try offera, If tho Ohincso luborors fare botter than the white laborors, it is uot becauso thoy work for lees wagew, which is by no means tho rulo, but boeauso thoy are moro industrious and frugal, Tho Chinaman doos not stay idlo. If ho cannot gob ono class of worl, ho taken another, while the whito laborer insiuta upon having the kind of work which suite him, or Lo wou't worl at all.

A vory remarkablo murdor case has just been closed in Ireland, which has creatod the most in~ tonso oxcitoment nnd intorest in that country and algo in England. The defondant in thocase was ono Sub-Inspector Montgomery, who waa arraignod for the murdorof Mr, Glass, the Olerk in tho Nowtown-Stowart Bank, which took plnce about two years ago, Ho was imprisoned on tho verdict of o Coroner's jury, but the feoling sgatnst him in tho district waa s0 strong that his trial was postponed until autumn of last year, and even thon all peraons living within five miles of tho placa woro oxcluded from the jury. In tho first instance, tho jury failed to agree. In March lJagt, ho was tried o second timo, and again the Jury failed to agros, A fow wooks ngo ho had his third trial, which ondedin conviction, and, aftor tho couviction, tho mur- dorox confossed his crimo. Tho oircumstances of tho caso wero substan- tinlly ns follows: Ontho 20th of June, 1871, Mr. Gloss was murdored intho bank, in tho middlo of the aftornoon, and the bank was robbed, Ho had boen alono in the office that day, tho propriotor of tho bank being absont at a fafr. In tho houso connectod with tho bank woro Miss Thompson, o relative of the proprictor, and two sorvants. Thoro wero two officosin tho bank, an innor and an outer, connectod by'two doors, but neithor of thom having nny connection with tho honso, which was ontored by a separato hall, At 8 o'clock, Mr. Glass, having fransscted his ‘business, wna scen to shut the hoavy outside door of the bank. Tiftcon minutes boforo that timo, three porsons had seen him and spoken to him, and ono of thom testifled that, whilo sho was iu the outor office, Mr. Glnes turnod into tho innor office, and sho honrd a whisper. BMr, Glnga usually dined at his lodgings noross the street at a quarter after 8, but on this fatal Thursdny ho did not appenr. Boon oftor 4 o'clook, Fanny MacBride, ono of tho sorvants, wishod to sco what time it was, and, looking through tho glags door londing from tho ‘bank into tho hall, at the bank clock, sho saw blood in tho office. Sho raised an alarm, and, on entering tho office, tho dond body of Mr. Glass wae found lying in front of the countor. Thore wore tho marks of twelve blows on lis houd, and sn office filo was sticking into his brain through tho ear. Mo had .been struck in tho Innor oflice, as thore was blood on a map thore, and ho had thon started for the outside door, and on tho way had run against the door botwoon the funor and outor offices. The snfo was rifled and loft open. It was very evidont tho murder was dono vory shiortly after 8 o’clock. Tho Inst porson soen in the bank was ono Mon- criof, but he loft before Glass was scen to come out and shut tho outer door. Among those who ‘wore pent for to inspect the scone of the mur- dor was Sub-Inspeotor Montgomery, snd he troated it a8 8 caso of suicide. No susplcion was thrown upon him, however, until a woman came forward aud testifled that soon after 3 o'clock slio suw n man como to the front door of tho bauk end look up and down the streot, rotnrn to tho offico, and thon come out and walk rap- idly awny, and that thia man was Montgomery. This fact heving boon established, tho tostimony rapidly bgan to develop itself. Tho persons in tho houso tostified that, betwoon tho time Mr. Glass was seou to shut the front door and Mont- gomery loft the bank, noises wore hoard in the bavk, It wae shown that after holeft the bank ho asked at o railway crossing if his clothes woro soiled. Whon sent for to inspect the body, ho showed groat nogligence and indifferencoe, ox- copt in trying to cromto. the improssion that it was o suleido and not & murder. Anothor witnoss testifled that he mot Montgomery on the road to a cortain wood whers the notes which ho had taken from the safo wore subsoquently found, This was the chain of circumstantial avidence ‘whick the progocution established, and, ulthough it would scem to bo & romarkably strong ono, tho dofonse succeedod in broaking it twico, or woekening it so much as to causo the disagrao- mont of two jurics. ‘Lhis they accomplishod by showing that thore was not n traco of blood on bhis clothes, and that thero 'waé nothing found on his promisoa to criminate him, The weapon with which he killed his vie- tim and the notes which he stolo from the bank, when found, were covered with blood, and the dofonse mada the point out of this that ho could not have concenled them nndor his olothes with- out soiling them. The third jury which tried the cnso, howavor, did not deom thess facts as ‘at all damaging to tho chain of circumstancos, and brought in & verdict of guilty, wheroupon tho prisoner at once confessed the orime, aftor an latorval of over two yoars from the timo of its commission, Tho case s apecially romarkn- ble for tho wuccess of the dofenso in saving the prisonor from conviction 80 long, in the face of such overwhelming clroumstantinl evidenco, It .was probably with a fooling of decided reliof that the miserable man confossed his erime aftor these bwo yoard of torturing uncoertaintios, The Hartford Courant has beon improving the poagos of the last consus by figuring up tho ‘ghancen of bolug struck by lightning. During tho year 1870 thoro were 202 doaths from light- ning out of 500,000 from all causos, Dur- ing tho samo timo thore woro 397 deaihs from sunstroke, or neatly twlce tho number killed by lightning, and yot noono foara tho sun, whilo thousands aro afraid of a thundor-cloud, Asan udditional bit of consolation, the Courant also stotos that thore wore 1,316 deaths by swcide, In other words, tho roador of this iy six times as likely to kill himself as hois to bo Lilled by lightoivg, Thore are somo facts, howoyer, whioh the Courant does not take into considorn~ tion in instltuting ita comparizon botweon light- ning and sunstroko.

Tho lsw of July 20, 1868, provides, among other things, that distillors shall scloct and put upon record, and abide undor the soveroat ponal- tios, tho longth of time that they will forment tholr mash,—thus manifestly committing to tha discrotion of tho distiller tho dotormination of his formonting poriod, Tho tox in question is based, in logal offoct, upon tho quantity of mash which the distillery has tho eapacity to hold, and upon the length of timo necessary to bo used in ita formentation. At Cinolnnati and Aurorn they roquire forty~ eight hours; at Chicago and Peoris, on account of the difforenco of climate, they equally roquirs soventy-two hours. Now, the overcharga sought to ho rocovored through tho medis of theso suite arises as follows: That, althongh our distillors wore obliged to, and did in fact, consume ssven- ty-twohours in formenting, yot tho Commis~ elonor of Internal Revenuo roquired o tax s if but forty-oight hours had boen omployed; or, in othor words, tho Commissionor roquired tho Chicago distiller to pay {ax on ono-third more grain thau ho actunlly used. And tho only justi= fleation which has ovor beon urged in support of this arbitrary and absurd rulo was, that formon- tation—tho Cincinnati standard boing tho abso- lute tost—ought to be uniform throughout the United States, Tho futility of sttempting to cotablish this as aruleisshown in the fact that, although our distillors have thus beon compellod Lo pay oge- third moro tax than tho law authorizes, or than they got tho benefib of, yoi that they Lnve, novertholoss, all continued to pay upon forty-eight 'hours ana to formaont soventy-two hours.
