Shophord, during his connoction with Jocal politica of Wasbington City, has developed falents which might put o shamo maoy older ‘haude at the business. Iis qualifications must bo well known to the President. The Mt.

Thero has been much aid and written sbout a great “all-wator route” connacting the Ohio River with Chesupenke Bsy, by making s ship- cannl up the Kanawha River, thence over the mountains of Virginia and by tho lino of tho James River Canal to Norfolk. This schome, which will ‘Probably cost come §75,000,000 aud then be valucless for commoreo, has boon prosaed vociforously upon Congress. It has, however, s formidable rival. A Convontion at Cumbor- Jand, Margland, on the 10th of Boptomber, | adopted & momorial praying Congress to scleot o# tho great all-wator route tho Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, which is comploted to Cumberland, aud; thenco by the Youghioghony River to the Ohio River. Tho dtanco to completo is only ninoty milos, and the cost was put st $15,000,000, which will probably admit of oxpanuion to £00,000,000 without much diffieulty. # Forgottuluoss like Boue's is bad enough, but something many times worso is charged upon su employe of tho DBaltimore & Olio Rail- road. This lino intorseots the track of tho Cloveland, Mt.

Thiors and the Frenoh Assombly, the latter ro far ylelded to tho protostive notiona of tho President as to Imposo cortain taxes on importod goods. Omno part of thia enactmont ‘proscribed that articlon nok produced 1u Eutopo, whon imported from & Luroposn port, should pny a tax of threo francu por ono hundrod kito- grammos, or 220 ‘pounds, This was, in effect, o lovy of twenty-fivo conts por hundred upon Amorjoan whont and Ausiralian wool, whon pur- ohased in England or Cormany and thonco shipped to Franco. This patt of tho Iaw has sluco boon ropoaled, but tho roposl doos not go into offoct until Octobor. Tho offoot of the law sinco it has boon in oporation hasboon to dimivieh tho publio rovonuo booauso of the non-importa- tlon of whoat; and this yoar tho whoat orop of Franco has boon o partial failure, and consumers havo boon compellod to pay tho tax upon their own food. In this way they got their oyos open. It has boen proposed to consolidate Marshall and Patoam Countles in this Btato undor the namo of Putnam. Marshall containg twolve townsbipa and Putnam four, and tho two coun- tioa united would still bo bolow tha avorage sizo. 1t {a donled that thero is any county-seat Jobin tho mattor; but that tho schome is devised to roduco taxation by getting rid of tho salarics and othor oxponsos of one 8horiff, ono County Judgoe, County Olerk, Oirouit Clerk, Treasurer, Surveyor, Buporintondontjot Schools, &o. Ono Qourt-ITonso would thonangwor for the rathor limitod business of the two small counties. Buch a propositlon, however commondablo to the tax- payers, will of course be violently opposod by tho offico-holders and office-seokera. Dispons- ing with gffices and reducing taxos aro not in tho line of businegs followod by profossional office-sookers, In aparty sense, the union would mako no chango, both counties being Ropubli- can in politica. #Who burned Columbia ?" {8 a question on the snawer to which many million dollars’ worth of cotton claims depend. Tho testimony hitherto ‘hra beon of a puzzlingly-conflicting nataro, Gon, Wado Hampton swoarlug positively that it wag dona by Northern troops, and tho Union soldiora and officors who waro Witnosses boforo the Cotton-Claims Commiasion averring o8 pasi- tivoly that tho cotton wns burning whon $bey ronchod Columbia. Gon, Shorman has jush made publlc somo ovidenco that Acoms conclu- sivor It fs tho tostimony of an irrogular dotach- mont of the Bovonteenth Corps, who entored Columbia three-guartors of an houyr bofors the rogular ontry of our troops. Thoy saw the Bohol goldiorn setting fire to the bales of cotton in the stroots, and this testimony, enys Gon, SBherman, is concluelyo enough {o warrant him in reiterat~ ing his formor statoment, that tho destruction of the cotton was thowork of the Southern army, This loaves tho cotton-claimanta the hopeless sltornative of looking to the exchoquer of tho Qonfodoracy for thoir damages. The press of Wisconsln and Minnesoja aro nearly unanimous in denouncing the proposed incronse of froight charges on the Milwaukes & Bt Paul and Obicago & Northwostern Railways, which it appoars has beon ordered by tho Doards of Direotion in New York, in opposition to tho advico of the loosl managors ot Chicago ond | Milwaukes. The Janosville Gazelle srys thpt, if tho Iocreass of {froights actuslly tokes effect, ““no influenco or power gould ;provent the messures which will probebly bo adopted st Madison next winter from being inspired and dictated by & spirit of retalintion.” Tho Oshkosh Northwestern says tho result would bo tho peeasgo of a tariff of fares and freights noxt winter, under tho ro- soryed powerof tho Btate Oouatitution, which would perhaps be unjust to the railroad compa- nios, but necesasry for tho secnrity of tho poo- ple. Tho Milwaukeo Sentinel, Milwaukoo Wis- consin, Bt. Paul Press, and 8t. Poul Pioneer troat the mattor in » similar tone. Tho proposod incresso was intended to tako offect to-day, but pometbing may yot happon to prevont ite The rocent railyoad nccidonts in England which followed each other in sych rapid succession, the disaster in Germany, and alao ke one in Bpain reported in our last issuo, by which sevantacn peraons wore killed and seventy injurod, show that the nogloct of proper safoguards nnd the rocklossnoss of railroad employes aro just as groat in Europe as in this country. 8o open and inoxonsable has this recklessness becomo, thiat tho English papors aro commenting upon it vory soveroly, Among tho nowor systems intro- duced upon tho English roads is tho Block systom, which corrosponds very nearly to tho plan of rouning roads by telograph. This plan discards all sorts of sig- nals, and obviates the necossity of any vigilance upon tho partof employes by making everything depondant upon the felegraph, Tho result of this Liss boon that tho respousibility is ghifted upon the oporators, and the train employes do not exerelge oven ordinary prudonco. Thus the number of accidents from this causo is as large 88 it was beforo the Blogk systemy waa gdopted. Tho bent blook system in railroad mansgsmont would bo to imposo a heavy fine for overy rail- road accldont rosulting in the loss of life whoro tho porson killed was not himself at fault. ‘The Chicago produce msrkots were active on Saturday, aud prices wore higher ou corn, oats, Tyo, aud barloy.

In January last, tho nffaira of tho rord got into such a confused stato thnt the stockholders appointed o commit- too to Investigato its affairs aud roport upon its condition. It appoara from this roport that,when tho consolidation with tho Ohio & Michigan Rallroad Company was offected, in May, 1871, tho Diractora coolly vated themsolvon stock for sorvicen rondered to tho dato of cousolidation, In this way tho Directora of the Ollo Divislon usad up §75,000, and the Directors of the Mich- igan Divislon §71,000. In addition to this, tho Committoo found that $43,250 had dlsapposrod on fraudulontly-ralsed contracts. The Ohlo Liberal and somo othor nowspspera of that Btate intimato that the whole amount which i boon floaced from the stockholdora will reach £1,000,000. Tho rovelations scom to Indieate vary conclusivoly that the managors of tho road wont into it with tho idon of stealing thomsolves rioh, and succondod in tho operation. As ono of tho reaults of this transaction, Branch Couuty, Mich,, slono loses ©200,000, which loads tho Coldwater Republican to ask: “ Under such s condition of alfairs, how long shall wo wait bo- foro wo may reasonably oxpeot to oo tho smoke of the locomotivo aloug tho lino of ournowrond?

Btanford and Hop- klos addrossed tho workingmon of shat city, notifying them, sy the result of tho lato oloc- tion, that tho bonds of the €ontral Pacifio were not salable st the East or in Europo, and that tho work of construction must thorofore be stopped and many workmon discharged. Rofor- ring to theso addrosscs, Gov. Booth, at his great recoption in 8an Francisco on the noxt evening, yofutod their statomont that the bonds wero not salablo, snd claimed that they wore worth now a8 much as ovor, sigoificautly adding, “But if tho crodit of the Company doponds upon the pledgo of the manlood and independonce of the poople of California, tho Boonor this oredit is destroyed the botter.” Just how this maushood and independonce have boen pledged, and hosw the confidence of tho pooplo of Oalifornia has beon abused, is very cloarly shown by the following extract from the San Franclaco Ghronfcle Thero 18 an clomont of foalonny in tho publio mind § and when wo hear that Oharles Crocker, formerly a re- tail dry goolls merchant at Ssorsmento,and his brother Edward, a not eminont attorney of the samo place, re- tire from thoir connection with tho railroad, each ro- colving o privato fortune of $10,000,000, we cannot help thinking that theso Governuent subsidies were given to them, not for thelr priato use, butas Trustees in trust for the carrylug on of a° great natlonsl undertakiog; and when wo hoar that those most fortunate gentlomon are ftraveling in Rurape, pupchasing art trossures, building pal- acea for thomecives and mpseymn for thelr coatly plo-* tuyes and mnrblos, o ara plsh enpugh g think that tlfs money woild bavo been better oxpended in hui ing & cheaper rallroad, snd oRo over which our goods and grains, our ores and timbers, our wool snd wines, our silks and toas, our coal and fron conld have boen {ransported mora economically, A8 %o {tho people) ‘Dave built the rosds, snd not they (tho Crackera), wa think they should enjoy less milliona as a burden upon our commerce, manfactures, and ogricultural indus- trica, In viow of tho rebuke which tho pooplo of Cal~ ifornin have administered to tho Central Pacifio Company, such statoments as those made by Mossrs, Btanford and Hopkine are astoundingly jmpudont, What those gentlemon need is little healtby investigation by s committeo -of Congrosa. .

Thoy wore thus oxpressed ; A word about Beasomer stosl, Tt hwea groat future in this country, aud is likely {o produco almost & revolution in our rallway sysiom, snd in mauy other things into which fron entors very largely. Prof, Cox, of our own Btale, has submitted a calculation, orified by Prof, J, W. Foster, of Chicago, now dead, and by ono of the abjest iron mastors in Peunsylvanta, slowing that Tossemer steol raila can be made cheaper than dron ralls from the block cosl of Indiana, I bo. lievothat to bo susceptible of domonstration, and that tho timo will soon comio whon tho Falroade of Indiana and of other Statos will bo Iald with esso- mor atecl rails, Dessemor steol raila will Iaat sovan or eight timoa 53 long a8 iron ones will, This bocomen an {mportant olemont in choapening the construction of Faiironds, reducing tho cxponso of keoping ihem up, apd chespening transportation, I bolleve tho {ime will soon game whep our existing raflroads, East and Waat, will ind jt fo #hofy iptorost to put down double-tracks and lay their ronds with ateol, 1 have now In my possession a proposition from g Mstinguishod business man in Holland, to build a satirond with foyr tracks from Now York Cily west to somo point {n Ohlo pnd Indians, then two tracka divorging to Ohicsgo snd two golng to ft, Tiouts, Thoss track to bolald with stos) ralls, and tho rasd to by construeted in tho most substsutial manner, with private capital, and no aid asked from any Btato or from tho Qencral Govarnment; tho only condition of the prapoaition tolog that tho road shal] bo chartored by Congress, Upon that pointI glve noopiulon ap oxpression atall, Isimply refor to It to sliow.you that this question of doublo and quadruplo tracks and raila mado of ateol fa now being eanvassed by capital- 1ata abroad as well as fu our own country, Yo have no doubt that the csloulations of Prof. Cox, austained by the late Dr. Foster, woro corract, aud that Bossomor steol rails can ‘bo manufactured not only In Indians, but elso~ whore in this country, &t a cost that would admit of alarge profit, avon if thoy woro sold at tho pres- ent prices of jron rails, The country will rojoico $hnt Ar, Morton has given attontion to this sub- ject, and that o has ot 1ast becomo satisfied that chosp Iron and steol, oepecially stool rails, aro “*an important glomont in cheaponing the con- struction of railronds, reducing the oxponse of Keoping them up, snd oboaponing transpopts- tion.” That lmportant truth is no moro obvious uow than ¢ waa five yoaras ago, During that five yoars, fhoro hava boon 20,000 miles of rail- w‘ny'cnnatmulml in this country, and tho resson why thoy wero not construoted to a large axtont of stool was, that there wad a law of the Unlted Biates imposing & tax on stoel rails, which mado tho gost from §90 to $100 por ton, whon in tho sbuonco of suck law thay could have boen doliv- ored for 830 per ton, Thero I8 a railroad whouo route lios partly in Canpda ang partly in tho United Btates ; that half of tLo rosdway lying in Canads has boon Iald with atoel rails | that part ju tho Unitod Statou with iron rails ; and, unlesn wo sre much miatakon, the stool rails cost loss monay por milo than the iron raily, Mr. Mortou says truly that tho ljfe of the steel rail lu sovon or oight times that of tho Iron r,qil, and honco the additional cost of renewlng tho iron tracks soven or elght timos is to be Inoluded in the ‘sdditional cost of railroad construction sonsequent upon & Iaw which in effost prohibited tho uso of stool ralls in those 20,000 mlles of ailwey. Abont one yoar ago, this subject of cheap steol ralls was bofore Congross, and that body could only be induced to roduce tho tax on Bossomor stoel 7alls from ©38 por ton to $35.20. Now that Mr. Morton has becomo. sonsiblo of tho importanco of stool rails, and of cheaponing thoir cost as n moans of choapening travaporta~ tion; 1ot ua hopo that ho will give his bost offorta for the ropeal of tho wholo of that tax. The people of Indiana do not want proteotiod. A thousand mlles from tho soaboard, in ths vory bonrt of tho country to bo suppliod with the ralls, with an abundance of unsurpsssed coal and oro at their vory doors, thoy can success- ully competo with tho world in the production of Bossomor stecl, Tho effcct of keoping tho duty la not to “ protect” but to give a bounty to tho manufacturaer. Tho othor statomont, respsoting that buslnoga man in Holland, is not so encouraging. ‘ Tha proposition to bulld the four-track rond, without sny subeldy, is all corroct; tuat is the only way any road ought cver be built. What tho oxact meaning of having a chartor from Congrosa is, neoda oxplanation.

It would havo to pay taxos, sud Con- grosa oannot exomph private proporty In tho Btatea from Biato taxos. Unless, theroforo, tho businoss gontlomsn in Holland wants privilogos ' and oxemptions which nevor lave boen, and mover . should bo, granted to him, he ‘can gain moth- ing from a national chartor which ho may not possess undor the genorallaws of all the Btatos through whioh ho may havo to run his road, 5 Wo do not mean to impeach the valus of Mr, Morton’s foroign correspondonco, but, In tho abaenco of any explanation, the achemo looke vory much like s demsnd for extraordinary “ conocesions,” such as Gen.

It i8 possiblo that some Holland gontloman, in~ apired by the meagnificonce of Baron Reuter's chartor from tho Bhah of Porsia, has concofved that somothing of tho samo kind mgy be 6b- fajuod from tho United States, Or, possibly, romobody wanto & Valuablo chartor to poddlo in Wall streot. m—— THE NATIONAL RLUNDER. : It will surpriso no ono who has studied tho effects of the mystom called *Protective” to Toarn that it doos not genorally benefit the cap- italist who clamora for it, and who professes to desirp it only in ordor to secure better wages to Anhorican Iaborors, ‘Wo have have shown that it doos not secure *'bottor wages," in tho truo sonso, to eny class of laborers, _Tq the majarity of all malos: ens Roged in gainful ocoupatians, namely, tho farm- ers, it brings only a marked reduction in the rowards of their labor.

Now, in 1860, thoso samo branches om ployed a eapital of §201,01,035, and tho proflt (matorial and ‘wagos deducted from valus of praduct) was $101,420,443, or 8 por cont, Horo 4 a vory satiefactory Incremso, aud, coupled with tho fack that tho wages of labor employed in ihese same branchos of mauufscturo jnoreagod during the same period from §224.72 por haud to 9349.65 por band, it oxplsins the highly gratifying prog- Toss of those industrios duriug that docado of non-protogtion and non-Inferforenag, But in 1870 tho capital omployed in thase samo branohes was $548,063,088, and tho profit (uaterial and wages deducted from the value of product) was only ©168,122,137, or 20 por cont. Thus the ocarninga of caplisl wore cut down fully 0 por gont In ordor to make up the incroaso, which assooiated laborers demanded and obtained, from $240.66 per hand to $493,00 por hand, aud yot that inoreasc only com- ponsated tho luborer for tho groator cost of Jiving, and did not leave him any better off than botoro, Tho inoroase was $143.04 per haud for 487,000 hauds, or $02,632,640, aud, had that sum been added to tho profity of capital, thoy would have boen just 40 por cent, Thus, 1iad thoro boen no inoroaso at all of wagos, the profits of oapital, in these peculiarly-favorod branches, would hava boon 40 por cont, whereas in 1800 thoy wero 88 por ceut, hut the manufacturer, forood to pay 57 por cent higher wages, did nok thereby quite compensato tho laboror for tho inoronsed cost of lylug, and yot had to ake £62,000,000 from tho oarnings of capilal, and reducod thom from 88 to 20 por cent.

DBut from 1860 to 1870, tho cost of matarials used in theso nine branch- o8 of mannfacturo Incrossod from $214,776,670 40 9575,795,205, or just 168 per cont! In 1800, tho materials cost only 55 por cent of tho pro- duct, and in, 1870 about 63 per cont. Haa tho materials cost only a8 largo s portion of the product sa in 1870, tho profita of manufacture would have beon $78,000,000 groator,~onough to give labor a Bubstantinl improvoment, and yot leave to oapi- tal over 40 por vent profit, and then proteoction would bava called itaelf successful, althiough agriculture had boen robbed. But the matorial did cost moro, and the Iabor cost more, though in {n no wiso improved in coundition, and thus the pots of protection find their capital loss profit able than it was in 1860, without any protection at all, whon agrioulturo also prospered. Now what is this system for ? A sonelblo pao- plo do not stick to a burdonsome thing without some good rosult to somobody, This thing forcos farmors to mortgago their farms, reduces thoyonrly incroaso in valuo of farms to loss than ono-balf of 1 per cont, and the yoarly enrnings of the farmor o $312 for cach person laboring, and $1,417 of capitalinvostgd, Evidontlyit does not holp him | It roducos the wages of 1,600,000 porsons omployed in manufactures from sn avorage of 9800 yostly in gold to €297 in gold, leaving the profita of monufac. ture in thess othor branohes not groator then thoy wore in 1860, bocauso the raw matorial has fucreasad In oot 134 per cont, whilo tho valuo of the product incrensed only 122 por cont, And, 88 to the othor 437,000 porsone emploged in ‘manufacturos, they aro worse off, bocauso their wagos have not increased as much a8 tho oost of Yiviog, whilo the capital which employs them goius less proflt than it did in 1860.

Buch a cousummation as this would only add corruption to corruption. Imperialism is synonymous with corruptian, Tho fate of Franee, which foll undor tho corruptiona of Na- poloon, would inovitably ovortake this couatry in case a monarchy; or, what is oquivalont to it, a Lifo-Proaidency, should be cstablished Lero as tho form of government. A paper in a racont number of the London Speclator very eclearly shows somo of the dangors which throaten this country ehonld Orsarism prevail. The Spectator assumos that the Admiuistration party intoud to run Gon, Grant for & third term, upon the very good grounds that they have no ono clso to run, aud that tho Domocratie party hias passed off from tho stage of action, and it then auggosta some of tho ruinous consoquonces which must follow and which are worthy of se- tious conaideration, cuming from such a source, If Gen. Grant is eleoted for & third torm, noth- ing stands {n the way of ita ropatition, and, ovon 1t 1t wero not ropeated, it would bo an inatanco of o long-term Presidoncy undor the worat con- coivablo conditions, On thia point, tho Speclator eays: ““Tho practico must Inorens the eagor- faoué both ¥or tha Prosidency and for party yia- tory, myst dovalop to the fullest dograo the ox- citomont of the quadronnial aloction, and must inoroase corruption almost tonfold. The more chatoo ‘of #o long » perlod of power must bo worth throo or four timos tho monoy now paid 6 modure k" T It follows that cor- ruption must be dovelopod ~much ~more rapidly undor such oircumstances than undor Impetialism aven. Onds cleoted, tho Prosidert would biave four years in which £o ovércome the oppasltion to him with patronago aud ‘with tho various eystoms of corruption which have been practicod during tho pant four or flvo years. o would hava four yeats i which to supplant any rival who throatonod to riso above him in tho popular cstdom and affeotion. This strugglo to continue to reign must last through ‘tho whole torm, Ia could not bodeposed, a8 an Engl’[sh Promlor can; by 8 singlo dey's naties ‘daring a Pariismontary seseion, Tho effect of such a atrigglo would iiovitably bo to koop tho wholo country in 4 continual turmoll, and deprive it of that rest from political oxcitemont which is ah- golutoly nocossary to ita industrial, commoreial, and eocial progross. A turmoil of this kind would furthiormoro rosult to the advantage of tho party in power, and, inthin disturbance of all the oloments of tho country's poace, corruption wauld bo euro to thrive, and Inoronsa fho chanoos of anothiorlonsp of powor totho Prosidential inoum- bont, T'ho socond denger which the Spectator fore- Boes, it atatos as follows : ** Evon if tho Prosidont bulilt up around him a party so strong as to make him virtually immovablo,—ns, for oxamplo, ‘by socuring a hoavy parly voto, and tha negro and Catholio vote in addition,—he could only build it by concosslons eithor to tactions or localitios which must bo more or losa injurious to the na- tlon. Buch concesslons wora mado to tho Houth by sucoessive Prosldonts for fitty yoars, till at tho first symptom of & chango of polioy thnt soction aprang to arms, snd tho oxistonco of tho Union booamo at dtake; aud such concossions might bo made to the Oathollo lutorest as would oud in olyvil war” Another concowslon, which tho Spectator ovorlooks, is that which must inov- itably be mado to capitallsts and monopolios,— & concesslon which would antagonizo the peoplo against tho Governmont, and ondangor the safoty ot tho coutntry more cortainly than concesslons in any otbor diraction. Tho Presldent could not keop hin power without these concossions to enpltal, and tho presont popular oxcifoment on this questlon vory cloarly foreshadows what would bo the rosult of such concossions. Theso warnings, coming from such an nnproj- udiced pourco and from n country whoso form of govornment ia virtually equivalont to a Lifo- Prosldency, shonld Do recoived with the rospect and earncat considoration thoy morit. An abso- luto Lifo-Prosidonay, whiclh ne one will tolorato or oven montion, would bo proforablo to a Lifo- Prosidonoy hampoered with the nooossity of n struggle overy four yoars to prosorveit. And those dangors which haye beon pointed out would not bo mitigated by tho fact that the poo- plo would nover tolorato o despot. Any party struggling to proserve its powor by the ropoti- tion of tho olection of tho samo man to tho Pres- idency ovory four yoars, must of nocossity drift into dospotio acts, and, it that party wore firm onough in powor to suceoad in its purposos, it would provoko civil war just ag cortainly as tho dospotism of slavery did, Mr, Reavis, of Bt.
