The Chicags Tetbune, Fridasy Morning, Novembor 7, 1873. . . 0, 0, Princo Bismarck has laid boforo the Gorman TFederal Council proposition from the United States Government, inviting Germany to par- ticipato in the Philadelphia Contennial, and has rocommended itn acceptanco, Tho apparontly intorminablo Tichbornoe caso lins secured n frosh loass of life, and bids fair to rival Jurndyce vs. Jurndyco, an extonsion of timo having beon granted upon motion of the Claimant's counsol to Novembor, 1874, *The Tweod case makos slow progress in New York, Twelve men were oxamined yestorday as jurors, but nono of them were nccopted. Tho tompor of tho Judge and lis appreciation of tho jury Inw may bo inferred from his very pertinent romark, in dismissing a juror who had shown limself to bo an intelligent man, that * this mau's mind is not tho porfect blank the law ro- quires, and he ia thereforo excused.” Tho . dentruction of the steamor Bavaris on Lake Ontario, which was briefly alluded to in tho dispatchos of yestordsy morning, was occasioned by fire. Tho disaster occurred at & point off Osbinwa, on the north shore of Lake Ontario, and nbout 88 miles from Toronto. Twenty-two of tho crow and possengers wero rescued, and it 18 supposed that fourteen are lost, Thoill-fated vossel was on her woy from Hamilton to Mon- treal. Tho logs, aa far as the boat is concerned, is about $80,000. The Rov. Mr. Nowman, formerly Chaplain of the United Btates Seuato, and now as o Trensury Agent on visit of inspection smong the Consu~ 1atos, has forwarded to the Dopartmont o highly- interesting report from Japan, an abstract of which is given in our Washington digpatches, Two of the most uoticeable features in 1f aro tho production of iron by tho Japaneso which can bo Iaid down in this country at a much cheapor prico than English iron ; and the oxtent to which tobaceo is cultivated in - place of rice, as being more profitablo. The princips! items of importance in the finan- cial nowa this morning aro the Sprague crisis and the affairs of the Ponnsylvanin Railroad Com- pany. Tho Sprague creditors held their mect- ing yestorday; at which tho proposition of the Spragues for an extensiou was granted and Trus- tees wero appointed, who were subsequontly ac- coptod by the creditors. The meeting of the Dircctors of the Pennsylyania Railrond occurs to-day. It isrumored thata G per cont serip dividend will bo declared. Tho rumor that Col. Beott Lins resigned the YVico-Prosidency of the rond proves to be untrue. Center, the Stokes juror who, while the caso was pending, made a practice of rambling about the city nights in tho caro of o Doputy-Sheriff, visiting dram-shops and talking preity freely mbout tho case, bas beon sontencod to thirty days' imprisonment and to pay o fine of £250. Tho sontenco is no more sovers than is morited ; "but ought not some mensures bo taken to pro- vent Doputy-Shoriffa taking jurors about the city nights ? Under tho present fee-system in + Now York, any juror who can afford to paysn Deputy can do what ho plonaes and go whero he pleases, In this caso, the praotice was as much at fault as tho ofiending juror. Thero is only one man among all the candi- dates on both sides who could aot have beon dis- turbed In the progress or about the result of the lato local olection, This was Judge M. R. M. Wallaca, It was & becoming and desorved complimont that no name should have been montioned on either sido as an opponent to his re-olection as County Judge, and tho fact that ho can point to noarly 60,000 votesin Cook County gives him a distinotion not likely to be zopeated very soon again unloss it s in his case, As Judgo of the Probate Court, ho is in charge of the most dolicato interoats in the community, and it 1s gratifying to know that the position in occupied by a man who commands tho confldence of the ontire populntion. ns suffered sevorely from suothor of the periodical inundations of the Riv~ er Nova, whogo branchos bave overflowed tho marshes upon which the lowor part of the city ia built, The damngo seoms to be confined main- + Iy to tho Vasilleostrqy, or Bastlius Island, whicl contains the Zoological GQarden, tho Muscums of tho city, the Acadomy of Fine Arts, and nearly &l the sclontiflo institutions, The overflowing of thio Nova is not & novelty. The city is 8o low thist whenover tno volumo of the river fa aug- monted by tho molting of the enow and ice, tho lower part ia moro or lees inundated, In the flood of 1824, ovor 16,000 persona porished, On this occasion, tho overflow scems to have beon causod by o suddon hurricane, The damage, which is immense, is confined, howover, to tho Joas of proporty. The Chicago produco markets woro generally lower yestorday, owing to tho continued finau- clal dopression East and tho decline in gold. Mess pork was moderately active, and 12}4@250 maoro activo aud 4o lowor, at 6j4c cash, and 6340 sellor Janunry, Moats woro dull and oneler, at 83¢0 for shouldors, 6I{@G}{c for short ribs, B3 @6350 for short clear, all Losed, scller De- cember; and 6l{@6}4¢ for grecn hams, Lnke froights wore loss activo and unchangod, at 7c for corn to Buffalo, IMighwines wero innctivo, and nominally ensier, at 87@88c por gallon.

Darley was dull and be lower, closing nt £1.26-for No. 2, and about 8a for No, 3. Hogs wero activo and firmer, prices dveraging about 10c higher than on Tuocsday, with snles ehicfly at §8.60@38.76. The cattle and ghoop markets were dull and unsettiod, A committeo was appointed eome tlmo siuco, by the Bonrd of Trado of this eily, Lo investigato cortain charges which had boon mado in rofor- enco to tho managoment. of the Hough Grain- Elovator. That Commitice hins mado o report, which was rend on 'Chango yentorday, ond will Do acted upon in special meoting of the full Doard this afternoon. they have found proof of great irregularities in tho business of grain-warchousing, which war- rants the beliof that the warehousemen practi~ cally ignoro the law, In regard to tho Hongh Elovator, they find that several emrgoes of grain were shipped out, the receipts ‘for which wore not canceled for ton to four- teon daye afterwards, and that tho firm issued receipts which did not ropresent grnin in storo, though it is not charged that those receipts wero issued for the purpese of boing placed on tho market, Tho roport especially calls attention to tho dangor of tho preotico of warehouseman lendiug grain not.their own, aud recommends that the Bonrd of Trado shall refuso to recognizo as “rogular" tho recoipts 1s8ucd by warchouse- mon who shall be found guilty of unbusinesslike conduct in tho future. Thé documnont containg soveral other suggeations, which are well worthy of carcful consideration by nall parties who aro interestod in the grain tradoof this city. Mr, Hesing formally announces his ropudin- tion of tho Republionn party, and onters a pro- toat ngninst any furthor designation of tho Staals-Zeitung a8 & Republican paper. Tho an~ nouncement (which we copy elsowhero) is im- portant to the oxtent that it indicates tho fealing of Mr. Hesiug's coustituoncy. Wo do notun- dorstand that Mr. Hesing takes his departure alone. On the contrary, wo understand that Ho is following o constituency that has long sinco The Committen stnto that W tho purposo of rewarding somo organ for its enmpnign gorvicos, Thore 18 not an Ameriean uowspapor in the city ontitled to any roward ot tho hands of tho Poople’s Party. Lvery nows- papor printed horo In tho English lunguago op- posed the oloction of Mr. Colvin and tho Peoplo's tiokot. Tho Times waa tho only papor thap ad- vocated the olection of any portion of the Colvin ticket, and frequontly charactorizod as bummers thono it did support. Moroover, the Tines was pald in advanco for tho ambiguous support it Rovo. It picked out the Gorman candidates on the Colvin tlekot, according to the contrnob made with Iossrs. Miller,” Horting, aud tho othors, by which the County Doard rented a portion of the Z¢mes building nt £6,000 & yoar, when it could bavo soenred better quarters for halt’ tho money, The incoming City Govornmont is, theroforo, under no obliga- tions whatever to any nowspaperin Chieago which is printed in tho English lauguage. Tho slltnnuon 16 poculiar and not likely to oceur again, No umo could bs bettor chosen for entting off tho superflully known as the corporation nows- raper, and thercby snving $15,000 o year to the pooplo. Wo should think that this would be rather gratifying to the now powers that aro to be. It would cortainly bo gratifying to the peoplo at largo, It would also be in tho jutorast of journalism. No solvent nowspaper has over taken thd city printing without regrotting it. Boside: eacrificing its indopendenco, the amount of official slush 1t is required to print ruins its character a8 & newspaper. Thera could only Lo one reagon why the GCity Governmont should rofuse to inaugurato this voform, viz.: A desiro to mecure an orgon. To this wo answor that it does not require an organ, oxcopt tho Staats-Zeilung, which it would still have. Its olection without tho support of a single Amorlean nowspaper scems to hinve de- monstrated this mueb. Moreover, wo promise that, if tho City Government is a good ouo, Tiz TupoNe will bo its organ without money and without price. Also without tho city printing, which it would not publish in its columus undor auy circumstances. If the City Govornment is o bad oho, noither ouo organ nor balf n dozen organs would save it from oxecration. Thoro is, consequontly, no suggestibn of policy, and cor- tainly no consideration of justice, which should detor thoe new Council from scraping off tho barnaclo known es tho corporation newspapor altogether, and confine the useless publication of the ofiicial proceodings to the Staals-Zeitung. If the now City Government will undertake to savo the city 15,000 in thus item, it will be nc- cepted as tho first stop towards an economical administration. THE WISCONSIN ELEOTION, sbandoned the party, The Iilinois Staats-Zeitung, therofore, is but putting itsolf in accord with the Gorman peoplo, who have been, it says, kept too long in tho * repulsive alliance.”' Tho con- duct of tho Germans lnst year in sdhering to tho Republican party is confessed to have been n mistake ; for this mistake Mr. Hosing was main- 1y responsivle, and ho half apologizes for not Dhaving supported Grecloy. If this feoling bo genoral throughout the State, as wo believe it is, then tho announcement is important, and signifi- cant a8 to its offects upon tho futuro politics of Iltinois., The day after clection, Mr. Hosing displayed a hugo Prussinn flag over the Staats-Zeitung build- ings, togothor with a smaller edition of tho Stars and Stripoa, In yesterday's odition of his papor, ho printed a congratulatory dispatch ad- dressed to A. C. Hosing, “tho Bismarck of America,” Wo talto theso things aa sigos, that Mr. Hesing construes tho result of last Tues- doy's vote sa o Prussian victory, and that ho now conifldently assumes that ho is not only the “boss” of Chinsgo, but tho Bismarck of Amorica,” a8 ono of his admirers ealls him, The mext fow montha may prove to M. Hesing that ho is making =& very gorious mistake. TFor the sorvieo ren- dered by the Slaats-Zeitung during thoe eampnign, & permanent compensation is provid- od in the city printing, which amounts to $16,000 a year, and of which we proposo the Staals- Zeitung shall have tho monopoly. As for tho city ofiicors who have boon elected, thoy will probably bo constrained to remombor that less than one-half of the votes thoy received wore from tho Gormans, und that consdorably more than one-half of theso have no particular affec- tion for tho “Bismarck of Awerica,” Ar, Hes- ing is rather promature when ho decides that Tuesdny's oloction was o Prussian victory, and veory far out of the way whon ho rogards it as confivming his powor as * the Bismarck of Amer- ica,” as ho modestly publishes it. It was not Biemarck who won the vietory, but Gambrinus, —————————— THE CITY PRINTING. ‘The City Chartor provides that {he Common Council sball desiguate one public newspaper Pprinted in Chicago ns the corporation newspapor, in which the procoedings, ordinances, and notices of the city and tho various departments shatl bo printed, It provides, further, that the smme ordinances and proceedings ehall be published in the Germhan nowspaper having tho lnrgest Wisconsin has beon Republican ever -since tho days of Barstow and the * Forty Thiovos,” o period of about cightoen yeprs, During all this timo, it has boon intensoly, uncompromisingly, and almost universally Ropublican, Tho State Govornmont has boen Republican ; tho loeal Govornments have beon nearly all Ropublican ; tho two Senators have boon Ropublicans ; sed, with onoe or two oxcaptions, the entire delegation in Congress has beon Ropublican, All at once somotling has oxploded in Wisconsin, and the Republican party bas come down o total wroek, Grant lod o majonty of nearly 20,000 one year ago; Mr, Taylor, the Reform " candidate, has n growing mojority that msy amount to 20,000 boforo it stops. The countios alroady figured up show & majority against Washburn of sbout 18,000, with more to hear from, “Boss"” Koyos, tho Chairman of tho Stato Con- tral Committee, has stopped counting, and says that ©The wholo thing has gono to h—1" The Fond du Lac Commonweallh is of the opinion that chaos has come again.” The party or- goas all over tho State aro wondoring what the metter can be. A penio has struck thom. It has como g0 suddenly, and with such resistloss forco, that thoy don't know yet what hit thom, ‘Tho dofeat of the Republican party in Wis- consin is tho moro remarkablo because the ticket was led by a man who has been the best and most popular Governor the State over had- ‘When tho Reform Convention wus called, wo nd- vised the managors to take advantage of Mr. Washburn's evident sympathy withi their causo and principles, and indorse bis ability and fair- ness by nominating him for Governor snd mak- ing their fight ageinst the rest of tho ticket. Our advico in this regard was fully justified af- terward by the speech with which Gov. Washburn opened tho campaign at Fond du Lae, in which ho declared himself anew against tho Crodit- Mobilier frand, againgt tho salary-grab, against railroad monopoly, snd substantinily in favor of making political campaigns on the basig of new issues, as was donoe in Oeli- fornin, But the Reformers determined to mako a clonn swoep, and nominated one of their own mon against Gov, Washburn, Tho financial pauic and the Grabam Temperance law gave them a tromondous “boost,” and enabled them to revolutionize the Stato in spite of Gov. Wash- burn's popularity and sterling worth, It is 1o personal discomfiture for Gov. Washburn that e Lins beon defeated. Had any othor man Loeu in his place, the mejority ngaiust tho party would hiave been still greater than it is. Ho was cireulation. Under theseprovisions, it has been the practico to desiguato o newspaper printed in the English langungo as the corporation nows- paper, bosldes publishing the same mattor in tho German paper. “Tho coatto tho city of all this hns been about £30,000 a yoar, If tho Oty Charter did not require that the proceedings should be so published, tho whole $80,000 might bo snved tosthe city, and the Poople’s Party wmight start out with a'radieal roform. As the mnowspapors print gratuitously all the proceedings of tho Common Council which aro of public interest, and as the full proceoedings and ordinances avo alwnys printed in pamphlet form, tho official publica~ tion in nowspapers {8 altogothior unnocessavy. The Commnion Council have not tho power to #ava the city tho full amount of the prosont ox- penditure, but they can savo the city half tho amount. As tho proceedings aro now published inthe Staals-Zeitung under tho law, why not at tho same timo designato the Staats-Zeitung a8 tho corporation nowspaper, and thus cut off ane draln of the clty rovonues? Tho charter does not stipulate that the corpordtion nowspapor shall bo printed In Bnglish, nor that tho Staats- Zedtung shall print the proceedings in German. 'Tho Staats-Zeitung might, therefore, Lo dosig- nated ey the corporation nowapapor, sud might print the proceedings in tho English language. It domonstrated during the recont campaign that it had facilitios for printiug aportion of the papor In English, By such an srrangement, tho proceodings wounld hava tho nocessary official publication, and tho $15,000 s your now paid to s second nowspaper for a duplicate publiontion in goneral wrock, and had to go down with it. Thoe Republican dofeat in Wisconsin is the soverest blow that has ever been dealt to that party. It is ono of o scries of cumulative ro- vorses from which it will never rocover, When Gov. Washburn, who unites porsonal popularity with personal worth in a dogreo raroly attained in public lifo, cannot carry tho Btate of Wiscon- 8in, tho diatrust of the people in the party which Lo ropresents is no louger of a doubtful or tem- porary character. Porsonally, Gov. Washburn would lmve been sccoptable to most of the peoplo who have dofoated him, As o prominent momber of the Republican party, his defoat waa inavitable in auy caso whero the people wore de- torminod to boat the party. TROUBLE Eonaw\xmm-fifiuzn BAIL. The disturbed condition of the Ponneylvania Railrond magnates is only auothor sign of the goneral prostration of speculative enterprisos, ‘I'hat Compeny Hlustrates in its own affairs the extent to which tho watoring of capital stack has boen earrled, That Company, betwoon 1864 and 1808, mado a stock dividend of 40 percent, In 1871, its capital atock was ubout £40,000,000, and It had outstanding mortgage bonds to the smount of §25,000,000, In 1872, it was authorized by the Loglslature to incronse fts capital stock $10,000,000, It lonsed tho Pitts- burgh, Fort Wayno & Ohlcago Railrond for 099 years, guaranteoing 7 per cent dividonds on $10,000,000 (watored from 311,600,000) capltel stack, aud assuming othor dobts to tho amount of 914,000,000, It hag also leased in perpotnity might be saved te the taxpayers, The presont political situstion is admirably por brl lowor, closing st 811.07}6@11,40 cash, and sultod to tho chango, ‘Thoe provislon for a oor- the United Rallways of Now Jorscy, including 084 miles of track ond 65 miles of canal, The copltal stook of all this system of rallrosis $10,906011.00 aeller DNacamber, Lird nnAl«'nnmlm sistrapaper wa orlulually made with m-nummum-t(nmgmmom\ dobt of ©19,000,000.

It hng a enpitnl of §12,000,~ 000, of which 8,000,000 i hold by tho Penusyl- vania Ralirond Company. Divideside upon this gtock ave gusrantood, Tho Pennsylvanin Come pany oporatos ail the ronds west of Littsburgh Tensod by tho Ponnsylvania Railrond Company, Thoso ronds a year ago included tho Pittshurgh, Fort Wayno & Chicago, 408 miles ; Eric & Pitts- burgh, 100 miles ; Olevaland & Pittsburgh, 228 milos ; two other small ronds, 32 miles ; in all, 828 miles. Tho symo Company owns n majority of tho stock and control of tho Pittsburgh, Cin- cinnati & 8t, Louis Railway, 204 milos ; Cotam- bus, Chicngo & Indiana Contral, 687 miles ; Lit- tlo Minmi, Columbus & Xonis Rarosd,, 107 miles ; Joffersonville, Madison & Indiannpolis, 210 miles ; Cincinnati & Muskingum Valloy, 184 miles ; Indianepolis & Vinconnes Rallway, 117 miles ; Bt, Louls, Vaudalin & Torre Haute .

Louis Railroad, 201 milea, Tho Ponnsylvania Compnay, which is in fact the Pounsylvania Railroad Compauy under another guiso, lins o soparaté contract with each-of those ronds, but substantially it guarantaes to them all 7 per cont on their capital stock, all excessively watorod, aud poays tho intorost on their debt. In 1872, there woro large ndditions to this list of ronds leased or controlled by this ono corpora- tion. Subatantially, tho owners of the Penneyl- vania Railroad are tho lossces of oll this vust system of railronds. and are responsible for in- tereat and dividends un all of thom in fair weathor and foul,—hit or miss, rain or shine. All this intorost and all these dividends havo to bo paid out of the not earnings of the proporty, or, fail- ing in that, out of the main road and tho other assots of Tom Scott & Company., Tho nggrogato of this stocl, upon which dividends of 7 per cent are guaran- teed, with the intorest-bearing debt, is probably 60 por cont greater than the capital actually in- vested in tho roads. To pay this interost nnd dividends, tho Penusylvanin Railroad mannge- meont has been compelled to ievy tho bighest ratos for trensportation that the property car- ried wonld besr. Bo longas the ordinary busi- noss of the country was uninterrupted and businesq brisk, everything wonton swimmingly. But matters have changed; tho recoipts of tho railronds havo fallon off, tho groat corpora- tion finds itself ombarrassod with its vari- ous guarantees, and has to meot directly the question of paying or passing the rogular divi- dend on its own stock. The question whother it sball pay that dividend or not becomes of more consequonce, because it will practically ad- wvertigo the abiliby or inability of the Company to meot its ongagements with the holdors of the many millions of guarantoed stock in the leased companies, The dividond should, ordinarily, bove beon declared somo weoks ago. Bo far, nothing has been done, and tho improssion grows stronger that tho business of the Com- pany does not warrnnt o dividend. A formal nunouncemont, howoever, is to be made to-day. Of courso, tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company cannot have o dividend until all its leased lines and Credit Mobilier organizations lave had theirs. Novw, it the Pennsylvanie Railrond Company, with ita New Jorsey, Pennsylvania, and Western attachments, reprosented only the cectual money invegted in them, their obligations would be gbout one-half what they now are. It now re- quires 14 per cent of net earniugs where 7 per cont would sufiico on o bona jlde indebtedness, To mako up this extraordinary dividend, tho Company hias had to keop its stendard of rates to the highest practicablo point during tha whole time that business was offered. Tho momont that hard times como the Company's murgin is cutoff. Had the Company been doing busimess on tho aetual capital invested, it could havo per- formed the same amount of transportation at two-thirds or one-hnlf tho rates it hes beon oxacting, Then, when the business was intor- rupted or fell off, it could advance its ratesto maet tho deficiency. But thorates being alroady at the highest point, tho decline in business can- not bo compensated by aun advancoe in charges, becauso tho property carrled can't payit. Honce thero is embarrassment, and the embarrassmont is likely to increaso rathor than diminish. The condition of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is no worde than that of the New York Contral, Lake Shore, and all the other railronds which havo doubled their stocks without o cor- rosponding incronso of capital, They have boon striving to pay dividends on $2 whero thero is but $1 iuvested. The businoss of the roads has tallon awsy, and now thoy can neither pay dividouds nor keep up the value of the stock on which money has boen borrowed. Tho decline in tho value of tho stocks ia litorally forcing the stockholdera into bankruptey without the intor- vontion of the bankrupt court, Thoro would bo no difficulty oven in those hard times in prying ronsonablo dividends on the actual cost of theso great roads, There would bo revenue enough for that purpose in ordinary times, oven with tho sovoral rates of transportation largely re- duced, Then in times of financial disturbnnco or interruption in traflic, tho ratos might be tomporarily advanced to moot tho deficiency. Thon railrond businoss would bo on s basis that could not bo distarbed, excopt Ly the corruption and fraud of tho ofileers, or the notual embezzle- mont or robbory of: the proporty,~the remady for which tho stookholdors would at all timos have in tholr own hands. St The Cincinnati Gazelfe haa boen figuring up tho mortgagos which that oity is carrylng in ordor to contrasy its condition with that of Obiengo, to tho detrimont of tho lattor, It flnds that, on n taxablo valuo of §180,000,000, and an oatimated value of $330,000,000, there is only. $37,000,000 of mortgages in all Hamilton Coun- ty. Comparo this, says the Gazelte, with tho wrotohod conditlon of Chicago, which, nccord-~ ing to tho authorily of tho Gazlle, is mort- gaged for three-fourths of all it is worth.

What noble martyrdom was that of the man who oponed his purse-strings to provide 100,000 bal~ lots for threo Eclectio votors who did not voto ! Or was it the Eclectio printer who contributed so gonerously to tho good causa? Wo dofy philo- soplical or medical Eclecticism to produce evi- denco of devotion like this. When did the clo- quent utterances of Victor Cousin, or tho magi- enl No. € powders of Dr. Thompson produce ko maguificent o result? If political Bolocticiem goes no further, Dr. Btoroy will ever have tho, satisfaction of having accomplished 21l that ono wmortal life could ho oxpected to corapass, When ago creops still furthor upon him, snd declining years bring those gontlo reflections of a woll~ spont life, ho may turn with justifiable pride, to that particular copy of his Xelectic nowspapor making tho aunouncomont that 100,000 Eclectic tickots had been printed! Better still, he may mako a collection of thom, from which not ono shall bo missing, end, by turning them over to futuro ages, meke sure that his name will bo embalmed in immortality ss the prophet of municipal Eclecticism. Thoy will flad thoir placas in the museums alongsido of the Confed- erato shinplasters, and posaibly command as high o premium.
