Another of tho sufferors by tho Bng accldent died yostordny morning in the Alexian Hospital. This brings tho number of the murdered up to ninoteon. The Jacksonville (Ill.) Journal, of Aug. 22, contradicts ns utterly false the statoment con- tained in Springfiold dispatchos of the 20th, that thirteon casea of cholora had occurred in that city. Tho Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners have not made any statemont of the railrond rntes thoy have docided on, but it is bolieved, in Springflold, that thoy havo ngrood to fix firat- clnss passongor ratea at 3 centu o mile.

But for tho heavy raiu falling nt tho time, the loss of lifo and proporty by firo would have beon much greater. The cause of tho explosion is unknown. Tho ordinance under which Bt. Louis has beon regulating the socinl-ovil has been declurod unconstitutional by Judge Colvin, of one of the local Courts of St. Louis. Ile decides that, in giving to 8t. Louis alone, of all tho municipalitios in the State, permiusion to regulate prostitution, tho Goueral Assombly violated the Constitution, which forbids special legislation. The law is unconatitutional ngain bocause by restricting its ponaltios and rogulations to ono sex it contra- wvonod the spirit of the bill of rights. He holds that both parties to the offonse should be trented alike. Mr.T. R. Allen, Mastor of the Stato Grango of Missouri, reports that thero aro now 800 Grangos in that Steto, with an average mombor- ship of soventy-five. e cnleulates that bofore next spring thoro will bo 100,000 Grangors on- rolled in the 8tate. In Arkaunsas the order is unknown outsido the northeastorn corner of tho Stato, whera thore arothirty subotdinate Grangos, but their popularity is carrying them iuto the othor counties. There are many colored farmoers in tho Btato, and their numbors aro in- croasing. Itis mot likely that tho white farm- ors will admit the] negroos iuto their Granges whoro the social cloment is mado so much of, but thero need bo no trouble on this acoro, ns the colorod 1o will organize by thomsolves.

No chango was notod in the cattlo and shoop markets, the formor ruling nctive and firm, and tho lnttor quict and stoady, Tho Washington Chronicle, odited by ox-Sen- ator and ox-Bocratary Harlan, is vory much an- noyed bocauso tho pross, inoluding many Ropub- lican papers, denounce tho Balary-Grab Law passod by tho Inst Congross. It insists that to “call it o ¢ ateal’ is untruo, and degrading to tho portios who indulgoe in such charges.” As the oditor of that papor was onc of thoso who took tho back-pay, it is comforting nt least to know that ho is rostivo undor the chargo of stonling. The argument to prove thatitis not a stoal, is that Congress -had tho power to pass tho act; thorofore it was logal, and what is logal canuot Vo a “steal,” becauso the law does not sanction stoaling. It clinchos this argumont by asking: “1Is it possiblo that 8o largo a proportion of tho ropresentative mon of the nation would willtally blur thoir own conscionces for any earthly congidoration, much loss for so small a consid- oration ns n fow hundred or & fow thousand dollars eachi 7" The goneral opinion of tho coun- try inclinos to an affirmative answor to that question. Tho fact proves that, whother tho conscionces wore blurrod or not, tho groat ma- jority took tho paltry consideration of tho fow hundrods or fow thousands of dollars, The American pooplo havo vory little confidence in the consciences of statosmen, aftor tho expo- guroa of last yoar. Itis not necossary to mon- tion names, But the number of conscioncos that woro not in tho least blurrad by nccepte ing Credit Mobilicr stock, and checks for thousands of dollara from tho oflicors of the Paciio Railrond, wns a large ono. Thomen who conld nccopt Oakes Amos’ divi- donds, and Dr. Durant's checks, canuot be said to havo conscionces that could bo blurred by voting themsolvos 50 por cont bnck-pay. Wo suggost that, if tho back-pay is to bo dofended, public intolligonca ought not to bo insulted by innisting that tho mombers of the last Congross wora too conscioutious to do any wrong. DOUBLE TRACKS AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY. The late collision ou the Chicago & Alton Railrond Lny direclod public attontion to tho nocessity of doublo tracks‘as an olement of eafoty in railway travel, Thero appears to bo n gonoral ngroomont, outsido of tho railroad mon, that double tracks on the main trunk linos would decronso largaly tho number of collisions, us thoy would cortainly arrest tho danger of head- collisions, These, it is proper to romembor, aro alwnys the wmost sorious in tho loss of life. It is natural that the railrond managor should not como forward voluntmily to ap- prove of this position so long as the capitalists who control the companios that omploy them aro oppostd to tho investment. Yot it would be diflicult to persuade an infellis gent business man that a second track on o pros- porous railrond like the Chicago & Alton would not expedito and increaso the business to au ex- tent that would moro than pay a good intorest on tho oxtra iuveatmont. This {8 & matter, however, wliich the railroads claim the right of regulating for thomsolves, and, 80 far a8 thoir businoss and its roturus aro concerned, tho Stato has no right to interforo its authority, But, as regards pub- lic eafoty, thoro is no doubt that tho Stato has the power to coorce bylaw il adjuncts which are deemod essentinl to it. % It hins alrendy boen suggested in Tne Trinuxe that tho noxt Legielature should fix a statutory poualty of a largo sum of money for ovory rail- way collision resultiug in & loss of human life, lonving it to the railroads to provide their own means for protecting themsolves against it, ‘Whother this sball bo douo or not, it is compe- tont for tho Legislaturo to oxamine what provon- tive influenco & double track has on collisions, and it could do tho peoplo of this State and tho wholo country a servico by taking testimony in rogard to it. The Rnilrond Commissionors might preparo the wasy Dby gathoring to- gothier ovidence rolevant to the subjoct. 1t the Coroner’s Jury in tho Lemont disaster hiad dono its full duty, it would have entored upon this inquiry with reference to ascortaining the blamo which nctually attaches to tho Chicago & Alton Company for nob laying o socond track beforo this tsmo. If it can bo dom- onstratod that o railroad, doing a cortain amount of businoss, and running a cortain number of trains, roquires two tracks to insure tho safoty ot its passongers, 1t undoubtedly comes within the functions of tho Stato to eunforce the laying of ngocond track in much canco. Of course, thero ds o great differonco bobween ronds which are occupiod with numer~ ous trains, both passongor aud freight, going both ways on tho same track, snd roada on which few trains aro run, far apart, and with logs ndcossity for oxpediting their business, Tho Belloville (I1l:) Advocate has collected somo dacisions of tho Suprome Court of this Biate, notting forth the police power of tho Btato in ro- gard to rogulations of public safety, which show that doublo tracks could bo onforced by law if thoy aro necossary to tho presorvalion of human lifo, A caso brought against the Ohio & Missis- sippl Railrond Company for kitling cattio is ono in point. In 1805, tho Logislaturo pasod n gon- oral law roquiring railways to fonce in their rondbeds. The caso was carried to the Bupremo Court, whera the railrond sot up its chariored privilegos, Tho Suprome Court held in this case, a8 It has hold in muny others, that it waa not the will of tho Loglulature, in granting charlors ta railroad corporations, that thoso bmlluq "should bo wholly independent of and irrosponsible to the Govornmont. It said far- thm": *'I' ha power to ouact polico rogulationy oporatea upon all aliko. Thia {8 a fundamontsl Drinciplo, and lion at-tho foundation of socloty itsolf.

The follow- ing ‘oxtract from (ho dncialon in tho Ohlo & Miraisaippl cano dofinos oyen moro oxplicitly tho polico powors of the Biato : ‘It corporato franchien, in privato corporations aro vestod rights, ronuiring the protection of govor- mient, cannot bo denled, Thoy sro wpechal fndividuay rights, which fall ns cloarly willin the requirenent ng thint of auy othor clasn, lut lko tho general rights of individunls they aro subject to bo controlled for tho gen- eral wolfara, That tho right and nob only tio right but tho duty of yrotecting tho travoling publle from dangor, while intrusted to tho care of thesa bodica and thelr agonts, I dovolved pon Government, 5 unquestionably trus, And for that purpose, the Leglalaturo tmay, beyond oil doubt, rogulato tho speod of tralns, requiro thomto placo guards ot bridgea nnd other points of dangor, aud thioy may, aa Uioy havo done, requiro o sound of ‘whistle or a bell at road-crossings nnd thoroughfares, for tho afoty of passongers aud othors, togethior with thelr proporty, If, then, an not of the Leglsiature can compel railroadn, their charters to tho contrary not- withstanding, to provide protection against tho Lilling of cows and tho dostruction of property, it i8 powaiblo that tho Stato might roquire rail- roads to provido doublo tracks whenover tho safoty of human lifo domands them ; and it can Imposo adequato penaltios to secure complianco with tho onactment, TAXING RATLROAD PROPERTY, Tho Bpringlield Journal thinks it i not pomsi- blo for tho Btate of Iilinois to mako any equita- blo arrangomont with tho raflronds whoroby tho Inttor could pay into tho Stato Treasury a flaed porcontago of their gross rocoipts in liou of gea- oral taxation, Stato nnd munieipal, Tho Jour~ nal nssumes that, whilo under tho Coustitution nnd laws of Ponnsylvanin, a gross sum may bo vaid in llon of other taxation, such o procoed- ing ia prohibited by the Constitution of Xllinofs. Tho pravision of the Constitution of this Stato which is supposed to prohibit such an arrango- mont is the followiug, being Section 6, of Arti- clod: Tho General Assembly ahnll have no power to ro- Tenso or discharge any county, city, township, town, or distelot, whatover, or tho inbabitanta thercof, or the property thicreiu, from thuir or ite proportionsto slinro of taxes to bo leviod for Stato pueposes, nor shnll com- mutation for such taxes bo suthorizod in auy form whatover. Tho Journal misunderatands the meaning and intontion of this Secotion. Under the provious Oonstitution, the Logislaturo had eusctod various Inws, particularly the sct of 1869, by which tlo taxeslovied forStato and other purposeson certain Proporty, aud on all property above a certain val- untion, In cortain citios, towns, counties, and dis- tricts wore released orallowed to bo withheld from tho Stato Tronsury, nud wore dircoted to bo ap- plied to purposes of puroly loeal character, Tho theory of this legislation was that the Stato tax thus rolonsed, discliarged,or diverted to locul pur- posos, would iu the ond so benofit proporty in such localition that, aftor the oxpiration of tho term of roleaso, tho goneral reVenuo would be groatly increasod. It was to put au ond to this system of commutation of present taxos for a prospociive increaso in tho valuo of taxablo proporty, as fllustrated in tho tax-grabbiug laws of 1865 and '0, and of othor years, that this and other like clauges wero insorted in the Coustitution of 1870. It has no appliention to tho modo nor to thoe subjects of tnxation, but simply provides that when a tax is Inid it eball o puid, and sball not bo withleld, rolonsod, dischiarged, or commuted, which pro- viglon i8: groasly aud directly violated by tho presont practice. ; The power to tax, and the objects of taxation srostated in tho flrat and second soctions of Atticle 9 of the Coustitution of 1870, which syt “Tho Genornl Ascmbly shall provide such revenuo as sy boneedful, by lovylug tas, by valuation, wo that wvory perwon und corporation shall pay o tax in pro- portion totho valuo of Lls, her, or it property, . . but the Genoral Assembly shall havo powor to nx ped- lers, auctionors, . . and persons and corporations owning or using franchises and privileges, in such Tannuer a it slall, from timo to timo, diroet by gon~ oral Inw, uniform asto tho élass upon which it opo- roled, I'hin is substantially tho same as was contain- ed in the Constitution of 1843, aud tho Spring- flold Journal is mistakon in assuming that thero was auyspocial provision in that Constitution which nuthorized the arrangement with the Iili- noin Contral Railrond Company. Tho Legisla- ture of Iltinois wus nuthorized by tho Constitu- tion of 1819, nu it in by that of 1870, to tax tho franchises of railrond corporations. Tho Stato of Pennsylvania has recontly lovied o tax on the franchises of tho railroad corporations in that Stato, not under auy spocial nuthority of tho Stato Constitution, but undertho gonoral pssump- tion that thoywero taxable. It furthor provided that the modo of ascortaining tho taxable valuo of such franchises and apportioning the tax thereon, was to tax tho gross rocoipta of such Companies. Tho Supreme Court of the Unitod Btates has decidod that tho franchise of a railroad corporation {8 n proper subject for tax- ation, and that to lovy & fax on tho gross' xocoipts of such corporation isn proper mode of lovying such tax on such franchiso. What wo suggosted was that tho railronds of this Stato should voluntarily offor to pay their propor share of taxation; that, instoad of ounually quarreling with tho various town, city, and county. authoritios as to the equitablo valuo of thoir lands, town lots, rails, and machinory, thoy should, in vlow of tho groat valuo of their frauchiscs, offer to pay into the Stato Treasury a certsin percentage on their gross roceipts, which the Btato might oquitably apportion among tlo municipalitios ontitled to shave therein, The con- tract with the Illinois Contral Railrond wrs mado under the Constitution of 1848, the provisions of which so far as designating tho mode aud obe Juets of taxation were identical with thoso of tho prosont Constitution, That contracl deprives the municipalitios of all nhn.m in tho tax, and all rovonuo forlocal purpoges. It is possible for the Btate to malko olhor contracts by which, in leu of atax on franohises, tho savoral roads shull pay into tho Btate T'rensury, for Stato and locul pwrposes, o fixed percentagoon thoir gross receipts, To do this roquires logislation, Cor- tain it Is, the Legislaturo, under tho dircet nue thority of tho Constitution, and tho recont do- ofwions of the United States Buprome Court, may tax thoso franchisos by lovying atax on tho gross 1oceipts of tho sovoral roads, slugular statemont in rogard to Soerotary Bol- knap's troatmont of throo rojected candidatos for tho Wout Point Acadomy from this State and Towa. Thoso wero McCullach, of Moumouth, Do- vous, of tho Eighth Iown District, and Murphy, ot Chieago. McCulloch waa o olf-oducated young man, like Murphy, who had boen a hackman in this clty, and whose success ut tho compotitive oxamination for the appointment by Mr, Oon- gronuman Rieo oconsloned somothing of n Honag- whilo ohiartory must bo roupoctod, thoy do not | tion, 7lo statemont of tho Atlus by thut Bocre- tary Bolknap wont to Murphy, nftor his oxamina- tion and rojection, and voluntarily proffored him 8 ronppointmont, and did aftorwards renppoint him, whilo Lo told Mr. Congrosuman Roy that ‘it was imposible for him to confirm MeCul- lool's reappointmont.” The Atlas doo not tn- dorstand thin kind of partiality on tho partof a Cnbinot oftico: THE 140D00 MURDERERS, At st it 18 announced that thoe findings of tho Modoo Court-Martial havo boen approved by the Trosident, and that the unvage murdorors will bo hangod on the 8d day of Qotobor noxt, Itis now noarly a yoar sinco tho firat offorts weroe mado to enforco the ordor of the Government that the Modoes should be placed upon the Kia- math Rosorvation. With the ovents which have taken place einco that timo—iho oseapo of tho Modocs from the Rusorvation, the disastrous do- feat of Licut. Whooler, the fghts in the Lava Dods, tho murdor; of Gon.

Jack ond hLis follow-chlofs, and thoir trinl—tho publio is alroady fomiliar, "I'hey havo boon triod by tho military suthoritics, found guilty by thom, and will be exocuted by thom. Ithas boona long, costly, and tedious oporation to offcot tho capture of this mob of eavagos, and it has boen done at a foarful ox- ponso in human lifs, which might havo been partially obviated hod not tha military authorie ties boon hampored ot almost ovory stop by Posco-Commissioners, Quakers, nud Indisn Agonts, inspired by motives of sontiment and spoculation combined. Thero is a cortain dogroo of coneolntion, however, that tho case is now fixed 80 that thoy can linve no further influence upon it. It is not likely that they can bring any in- fluences to boar to savo tho murderous wrotches from their woll-merited doom. Thoro is an oqual dogreo of consolation in the fact that the Gov- ornmont in carrying out its Indian policy has recognized tho nocossity and the striot justico of tronting an Indian like & white man, Whon the Govornmont recognizes that nocessity undor all circumstoaces it will have lesa trouble with it savago wards. If o white manis ablo to work and will not, he must take his chances of starv- ing, Why not an Indinn? If o whito man commits murdor and is found guilty, ho is hang- od. Why not an Indisn P . The exceution of the Modoc murderors will have na oxcollont offect npon other tribes which aro disposod to leave their resorvations and on- gago ir, plundoring and murdering. It will show them that the laws of the Govornmont, and the troatirs which thoy have mado, cannot be broken with impunity. It will show thom that thoy caundf olways rely upon Quakors and Indinn Agents to shield them from pupishmont. It will also sorve o rostora tho ctafidenco of tho frontior sottiors in tho Governmont, and will {nspire them with tho conviction that they hava as much right to livo as the Indinp. Thoro is no punishmont an Indinn dronds so much a8 hauging, oud tho nows of the oxacution of this sextotto of mur- derors, 08 it sproads from tribo to tribo, will fill ihom with torror, and will sorve to keop thom nt ‘peace upon their resorvations. The white sot- tlors will horeafter pursue their labors and seck their reposo ot night with o moro perfoct degreo bt security than evor before. It 1s impossible, however, to rond tho orders for tho oxccution of theso savages without being struck at onco with tho inconsistency of tha Qovornment in sllowing the Toxan murdorers, Satanta and Big Treo, to bo taken from prison and sent to their tribe, where thoy are to remain until fall, and where thoy will romain the rest of their lives if they succocd in inducing tho absent Indians to return to their resorvations. If Capb. Jnck i to bo haugod, why not Satants oud’ Big Treo? Whero ho committed one murder, thoy committed o dozen. Tis scts of cruelty dwarf into insignificance by tho sido of tho bloody doeds of those two Toxan flonds. They havo murdored, burned, and pillaged for years. They havo ravished women, torturod littlo children, and been the tocror of every sottlor in Northern Toxas for n laag time, If justico is to be dono to these Indisn murderers horonftar, lot it at lonat bo dono impartially. THE HOBPITAL LOT. The Board of County Commissioners have porpotrated an astounding joko. Thoy have purchased for $168,000 a sito for & County Hoa- pital, but tho sito is cut off by strocts into sev- oral blocks, and theso blocks are further divided by alleya. The Hospital, therofore, will have to bo scattered about; one ward on one blook, nnothier on another block. Instead of having ouo hospital, or one building under one roof, it will cousist of half o dozon hospitals, with o block set apart as s park, whero the lusty pa~ tionts can play baso ball in summor, or skato in winter, sud the physicians in charge can hiave a wholo block dovoted to rosidences for themsolves and famitios. Auothor block can bo ‘made into & garden for tho cultivation of vegota~ Dles for tho hospital. Toaupposo the City Coun- oil will ever voto to vacate Paulina stroct in ordor £o lot some porson sell the streot and the adjoin- ing lots to the County Commissioners, is assum- ing that that body is a8 blind to the public intor- esta ns tho County Board have been. If the County Board havo not parted with thoir control over this subject it is to ba hoped that eight mombers will bo found who have solf-respect enough to raconsider the sotion on this Connty Hospital businoss. As it stands it looks very much as bolonging to that claus of procoedings which rendored tho old Board of Bupervisors so infamons. This thing i3 too transparent for any membor having any porsonal character, to defend or approve. If the action of a woek ago can bo roconsidered, let it boe done. The idoa of spreading a county hospital over four or five detached blocks, and paying for tho soveral patchos of ground nonrly $20,000 an aoro, ia too glaring o job oven in thoso days, when all ofi- cinl oxpenditures aro moro or less tainted with fraud. Wo hopo that this quostion will be test- od at the meoting to-day, and that tho yeas and noys will bo takon, 80 that the public may know Low many of thoso who voted for this thing u weok ago did so uninformed of the outrago upon public intorests that was involved.
