Bonner's nomination a8 Fire-Marshal was con- firmed by the Couucil last ovening, At the Convention of the Farmors of Effing- bsm County yosterday, to nominate an indo- pondent county ticket, a resolution was adopted advocating a reduction of tho salarios of nation- al, Btato, and local offtcinls. The othor resolu~ tions wore o copy of the admirablo platform of tho McLean County farmers. Oity Enginoer Chesbrough, of the Board of Public Works, hns mnde an claborate statoment to tho Common Council of the troublo in the water tunnel. Ho says thero is no help for cut- ting off the water supply of tho city. How long tho suepension will last is uncertsin ; it may bo fivo days, it may bo fivo weoks, or oven longer. Friends of tho Bank of England forgors, it gooms, did not attompt to bribo thofr jailers, The Court of London Aldermon fail to find any truth in tho charges on which tho Wardeus were euspondod, that thoy had received £500 a pieco to lot tholr prisoners cacapo. Tho Wardens have been rostored to duty and tho alloged bribors bevo boon discharged. i Senators Logan and Oglesby and Gov. Bovoridge bove united in rocommending the sppointment of Jonsthan Morriam, of Tazowell County, us Collector of Internal Rovenuo in place of Jobn T. Harper, do- faulter. Mr. Morrism was tho Republican nominee for Congross in tho Eighth District ihroo yoars ago, and was dofonted by & small majority by James O. Robins Sinco thio hoginning of 1866, thero bave been fncorporated in this Stato, according to the re- port of tho Corporations Committeo of tho Bonrd of Equalization, 1,000 companics. Of those, 578 are in Cook County. The Board are not holding any goneral meotings, but awaib 4ha result of the deliborations of their commit~ teos, It is foreshadowed that their asscsements will cover about 70 por cont of the cash value of tho property of the Stato, Thia is tho dayappointed for the Crodit Blobilior of Amorica to comeintocourt. Itispossible, how- over, that some days may elapso bofore tho case is actually taken up. The bill in cquity filed by the United States is a document of 184 printed pages. It is dirocted againat 176 dotendant cor- porations and individualy, most of whom have filed their answors. The answers of Thomas A, Seott, C. 8.

Thoe deaths by yellow fovor in Bhroveport ronch thirty or forty daily out of a population of only 4,000, Tivo of the six operators in the tolograph office are sick, two aro desd, and the managor I8 dying. The citizons of B8t.

The Bacramento Record intimates that tho Contrgl Pncific Rallrond ring, having boon beaten by Gov. Booth at the polls, are now arranging to beat Gov, Booth in the Legislaturo, by tho use of money. A majority of the nowly-oleoted mombers, if unassailed in the pocket nervo, would vote for Gov. Booth for United Biatos Benator. Thoe rosult, however, must bo con- sidorod doubtful, for, as the Record foclingly romarks : ¢ It ia within the memory of lving men that o distinguished ornament of the United Btatos Bonato maintained tho perfoct fonsibility of exponding millions upon a Bonatorial elootion without tho faintost approach to bribery being committed,” It is o romarkablo fact that Gen, E. 8, McCook, who was rocently killed at Yonkton by Wintor- muto, the banker, is the fifth moembor of the family who has mot a violent doath, Charlos M.

The truthof tho story {8 ovidenced by tho departuro of. physl-’ clons from Grand Raplds to the scone of tho ac- cidont, but every offort is boing mado by tho officars of tho road to suppross all inforraation coucorning tho dlsastor. ——e The Ohiongo produco markets wore fairly ac- tivo on yestorday.

Bhoop ruled quiot at $2.75@4.50. \ THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION, Tho tostimony of Mr. Hayes, Gonoral Man- ager of tho Bluo Line, and of Mr. Potts, of the Empire Transportation Company, furnishes eomo light on the general question of -tranapor- tation., In the first place, Mr. Hoyes calls atton- tion to tho faob that the City of Now York haa no proper facilitios for recelving and handling grain, Whon grain reaches that city by rail, it is emptied in quantities of throo or four car- loads into burges, snd ia bought and sold from theso barges. There is no systom of inspection and no warehousing, but great confusion and inlerminable dolay. Theso barges, which he pronounced to bo & sort of n Credit Mobilior arrangemont, chargo from 60 conta to 81 por ton for thelr sorvico, which would bo unnecessury if thoro woro warchouses at Now' York.: -This oxplaing why it is that Ohicago can recoive into warchouso the coutonts of ovor 2,000 cara of groin in o day, while 500 cars aro enough to block all the railways at Now York. Tho samo gontleman oxplained tho oporations of tho through linos, Ordinarily, 8 car belonging to one company running over the road of one or ‘more companiea would earn for ita owner a cor- tain amount from theso Istter companies in ad- dition to tho freight on its contonts, The lino of which ho was manager run over tho roads of o gront many companies ; each railway company put in its quota of cars, and the business of the # Bluo Line " was to keop tho accounts of these soveral companios with each other for tho mile- age and earnings of thoir rospective cars, Al tho profts derived wont to tho railway companios. To mauage this busi- noes required o numbor of officers and agonts, but tho cost he did not think was greater than if each rond conducted its own shara of the through business separately. e explained that through business could be done at much less oxponso than local business. The railroads in tho soason of navigation had to compote with tho lake and canal route, and thoy Lad to adjust their through ratos accordingly, The rates by lake vary according to circumatances, the charge for grain from Ohicago to Buffalo someotimos riging from G or 7 centa per bushel to 17 conta, Last weok, tho lnke rato sdvancod 10 cents per bushel, making tho water rate for the time highor than by all-rall, Railroads got all thoy could, Whon water rates foll, ralos by rail foll also, nud "vice versa. Tho rates of railroads for grain were controlled by tho supply and domand, When mo froiglits offerad* at ‘one rate, thoy had to roduco. Mr. Potta nssertod, a8 & gonoral princlple, that “It is an unwise policy to chargo oxcessivo rates, for by so doing we cripple our customers and provent increase of production ;" and ke added that thore aro railroads that oharge s high prico for short distances when thoro j# no com- potition; but that is not good policy, and it is mostly dono on ronds govorned by poople of lim« ited rullroad oxperionce.” If the lattor descrip- tion be & juat ono, then thoro must bea large want of expérionce in the managomont of somo lines running out of Chicago, All thls, howover, atill loaves cortaln diffeul- tles unsolved, Theso are: 1, That whon naviga- tion closes thero in more grain and othor pro- duco togo forward than the presont linos can move, especially with the inadequato, expensivo, and unsatiefactory moana of handling it in Now York. 32, That this surplus of froight offer- od onsblea tho railroad companies to advanco their frolghts even to tho point of the ontire commorcial valuoof certain kinds of gratn, andat tlmou provonta thelr carrying grain at any price, 8. That there is o lack of ccoan transportation, which haa rosulted in an advanca of freights to Europs to doublo the ratos which would conati- tuto a falr compensation, Again; tho rule of railways that hauling freight to a way etation and leaving tho car there to bo roloaded involves an exponditure whioch is unknown in tho caso of through freights, and ro- qulres larger ratos, caunot justly be applied to pointa whore grain iu shipped by the ear-lond, and ia sont to the destination of the road. Tho rule which authorizes ligher rates for way froight, conslating of part of o car-load, cannot apply to the transportation of one, two, or a dozon fully-lndon cara destined to the and of the road. ‘Why should not theso fall undor the head of through freight whon moved 200 milos as woll ag whon moved 800 milos? It s proper that frolght moved 200 milos to the ond of tho rond should pay perhaps something more per ton per mile than when transportoed 900 mlles, but when grain coming {o Ohicago an avorage distanco of 200 milen {5 chargod at rates which, if extended to New York, would make the cost of sondlng graln to that olty 00 cents to @1 per bushel, thore ocan Do littlo dondbt aa to the unfairnosa of tho exac, tion, nor ean thero Lo nny doubt that it s, as Mr. Potta doolared, bad polioy on tho part of the railway, whioh is intorestod in tho welfare of ita own oustomors. 'The griovance of the Wost s, firat, tho oxcossive ratos ohnrgod for trausporta- tlon to the lnko ports; and socond; the inado- quate means provided from Cllcago to tho Eant for the movomont of tho frelght offerod thom, Tho roasons for tho Iattor are : 1, the want of & doublo-track ; 2, tho want ot cara; and 8, the watit of facilition at Now York. Ior the want of trnok nand cars the rallronds sro respon- ulblo; they have wastod in conflicts bo- tweon rival ganga of plunderors moro than would have lakt & doublo-track on all their roads to Cbicago, and have supplied all tho rolling-atock needod. For tho want of facil- itios in New York, tho morchauts of that city aro rogponsiblo, and they will probably awake from their indifferonce whon tho vast trado in grain shnll flow down the 8i, Lawrence and avold Now York altogother, For tho want of ocean tranaportation the law is mainly respon- nible, whioh on tho ono hand taxos ship-building matorinla onormouely, and on tho other pro- Libits oltizons of tho United Btatos from buying ehips in tho choapest markot. THE, MACOUPIR COUNTY BONDS, Macoupin County s just now roaping the fruits of olooting dishonest and irresponsible men to offico, and clothing thom with the powor to issuo nnd sell county bonds and expond tho money. In 1867, T. J. Loomis wns County Judgo, and Isham J. Pullis Assoolato Justice of tho County. Theso two porsons hold an official mooting and electod T.J.Loomis, Isham J.Pullis, A. McKim Dubois, and Georgo I, Holliday Com- missioners to build & new Court-Houso at Car- linyille, Hollidsy was County Clork and Dubols was a bankor. This wasin Maroh, 1867. Publio moetings were hold, at which tho action looking to tho building of & now Court-Houso was oftor- od. Tho Commissionoers, howover, disrogarding tho popular remonstrances, and having the law on tholr side, proceoded, An application for an injunction to rostrain the Commissionors was rofusod, thoy belng within the limits of the dis- orotionary power vested in thom. It wasat that time roprosonted by the petitioners that tho Court-Honso would cost $250,000, to which the Commissloners answored that it would not cost over ©180,000. Subsequontly, when tho foundations woro 1aid and the speoifieations made public, a Iarge meoting was held to protest sgalnat tho further progress of the building. At this meoting, » statomont that the work ‘would cost half a miilion of dollars was prompt- 1y mot by an assurance from the Commissionors that it would not excoed £850,000. It was given out that tho building would bo of brick with stone foundations ; in time, howover, contracts wore lob for a.stono building, to cost, when completod, $760,000. In the moantime, county bonds had been issucd and sold, and that, too, in oxcoss of the amount authorized by Iaw. The threo office-holders and their nasociato applied to tho Logislaturo to legalizo- the ovor-issuo of bonds and to authorize an ad- ditional issue. Invain did the peoplo of the coun- ty protest. The threo politicians aud the bond- holdors wore strong enough to induco the Legls- Iature to pass both bills ogainst the romon- sirances of tho peoplo of the county, Under thoso lnws, the Commissionors isaucd and sold bonds, bearing 10 por cont Interost, to tho amount altogother of $1,460,000. Huving sold tho bonds, somo, if not all, of the Commission~ ors fled the county. If wo remembor rightly, tho Grand Jary indicted the County Clerk, who wag one of tho Commissionors, for someo of- fonse comnected with the issue of tho bonda. The county has, lLowever, ro- fused to make any appropriation to poy the interost, and bhas rofused to lovy suy tax for that purposo. In this way, the ncorued intercst for soveral years is pow due. Some of the bondholders have brought suit in the United States Oircuit Courb for the Southern District of Ilinois upon their ovor-due iirtercat coupons, and have obtained judgment thorefor. The county failing to lovy any tax to pay theso judgmonts, the Court issued a poremptory order requiring the Supervieors to meko such levy. The feeling in tho county i strongly against payment, Shonld the Buper- visors refuso to lavy the tax, thoy will be arrest- od for contompt, and will not be reloasod until thoy comply. Should they lovy the tax, it will mnot bo colleotod ; no person will pay tho tax voluntarily, and no person will buy property #0ld for non-paymont of that tax, 3 While the robbory of the peoplo by their own officors ia confeased, and whilo the dobt itsclt ia largo ono for that county, and while the pay- mont of tho tax may be dofeated by question- ablo means for soveral years, wo suggost that tho choapeat way out of the difficulty is for tho county to pay both intorest and principal. In such & caso, honesty is cortainly the best polioy. Macoupin i3 ono of the most fertilo sod pro- ductive countios in tho Btato, In 1872, thoro wore 250,000 acros of land in fleld products, Tho county is woll provided with railronds, and is 80 situated that Bt Louls and Chicago are both within conveniont distanco and easy of ac- coss. It was o prosperous county until it re- solved to repudiate. We notico that tho assosa- ment for 1878 is more than a million loss than it waa Inst yonr, and two millions losa than it was In 1871, Tho surest posaible way to drivo wealth and capital out of tho county, and to keop population from going thero ia to destroy tho public oredit. An cscape from s tnx of $140,000 a year for interest on theso bonds is but poorly compousated by & loss of roputation. Onco known as s peoplo who Liavo ropudiated thoir debt, tho value of tholr property will dopraciate, and they will be unable to find customors at any prico. Already, tho assosgod valuation of the county has deolined noarly 80 per cent sinco the flrst refusal to pay tho interest on tho bonds, and that depreciation will go on until the county will be avoided alto- gothor. While 1t is ovident that tho county was outragoously robbed by its own oflicars, the bost polioy is to meot the consequences bravely, aud pay the debt. A Oredit Mobiller of vory respectable dimon- slons Liag boen doveloped in the African Motho- dist Bplscopal Dothel Churcl, the wenlthiest col- orod ohurch of Now York, the Trustoos of which are charged with having embozzled $12,000 of tho church funds during the past niuo years, with insubordination to tho law, ordor, and dia- oiplino of the Church, and with rebollion against the pastor. Tho caso was triod & fow evenings siuco bofora tho largoest jury that was probably ovor assomblod. It consistod of tho whole con-~ grogation, mon, women, and childron, 1,600 in number, The charges, written out, coverod eixty-slx foot of paper. Both the con- grogation nud Trustecos wore rn;ireaont-' ed by ocounsel but tho counsol for the latter had a rough time of it a8 ovorything which ho said or did wea immo- dlntely overruled by the jury, who would fro- quontly futorrupt him with such oxolsmations aa “Whoro's thom $12,000?" “Thoy'ro innooent; oht! yea!” ¢ Pty 'bout dom, thoy'se 80 young." “@ib it to thom.” ¢ Bounco thom, dey hab do money.” Aftor hoarlng tho evidence, tho minis- tor announcod that the accusod had boon found guilty and woro nevor moro to hold offico in tho chureh, and wors doclarod removed and ox- polled. Tho jury thon sang the Doxclogy and went down-gtaira for rofroshimonts. A NEW PARTY IN CALIFORNIA, Binoce the oloction in Oalifornis, it bms boen dlscoverod that a now elomont ontored Into the contost in Ban Francisco, to which no™ nttontion was pald during tho canvass, and which yot suc- cooded in Boouring tho eloction of overy candi- dato which it supported but ono. This clomont was thoe Ordor of the Orescont, a politico-relig- lous organization recently tarted, whoso primal objeot is the oxclasion of Roman Catholics from offico. Tho organization cast sbout 6,600 votos, and, employing thoso aa a balance of power and using thom with prudonce and skill, thoy succoodod In elooting Cockrill for Chiof of DPolice over Crowloy, MoRibbin for Blieriff - over - Whito, ond Otto Frauk for Recordor over Lucien Hormann, On the Log- islntivo ticket no contoat was made, but its so- tual strongth was shown in tho vote for Distriot~ Attorney. In this csse, both the Republican sud Domooratio nominess, Mr. Murphy and Mr, Rynu, wore Roman Catholica, Tho Orescont vote was givon ontire to Nathan Porter, whoso por~ sonal friends did not even regard him ns n can- didato, and bo Tocolvod about 6,000 votes, In tho olection of Bchool Directors, aluo, the power of tho Oreacents was manitested, nnd, as it now appeara, thoro aro not more than two Romon Oatholica who will b ealled upon to administor * the senool affalrs of San Franclaco, | It has been known for somo time in Oalifornia that the members of this order wore bound by onth to maintain secrocy with rogaxd to their oporations ; but their power has always been un- derratod, and tho politiciaus, in arranging tholx slatos, havo novar taken them.into account, al- though thoy hiad ono warning in tho defoat of tho candidate for Harbor Commissionor, not long eince. Tho Crosénts do not .dis- criminate sgainst a- porson upon . the ground of nationality, . but exclusively upon voligious grounds, and thoy jus- tify themsclvos upon tho sssumption that tho TRoman Catholica are s socrot polltical associa~ tion. Thoy, contend that tho Roman Catholio Church doos not confine iteelf to tho toachlngs of its religions’ tenots, but intermeddlos with political affaira in a clandestine way ; thatitis ondonvoring to gain control of the common- school system throughout the country; aud that the Order of Jeauits, the Anclent Order of the Hibornians, and other Cathollo sasocia~ tions aro simply political machines, secrotly manipulated by the Churoh, to got ocon- trol of the administration of tho civil governmont and use it for the propagation of the Catholio faith, Thorefore they claim that, if the Catholics band thomsoives together and voto together and use thoir religion for political purposes, thero is no way to meet and combat thom excopt by the secrot organization of anti- Oatholics, It is due to the Catholics to eay that they wholly dony these allogations, and charge thom to bigotry and projudico. And thus the matter stands betweon the opposing forces. Thore 18 littlo probability, howovor, that tho Ordor of the Crescont will last any considerable time. The history of organizations of this charactor hoa alwaya been briof, like that of tho Enow-Nothing party, which had & much wider range of action than the Order of tho Crescent. Thero can boe no more dangerous and injurious influonces at work under a Republican form of government than sccrot political ofganizations, especially when thoir effect {8 to atir up roligious animositics, Mr. Joseph G.
