‘'VOLUME 27. - The Chicage Daily CHICAGO, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1873. NUMBER 8L THE OHIOAGO TRIBUNE, CHICAGO WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THE LEADINmWSPAPER N THE NORTHWEST. THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, - PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND THE FIRESIDE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874. The coming year promises to be the most eventfulin a political sense that we have seen since the close of the war. The questions which have engrossed and divided the public mind during the past twenty years are rapidly passing nway, and we find growing up in different parts of theé country a party called by vari- ©ous names--~in California the Inde- pendent.- party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Reform - party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting o strength which proves that it answers one of the chief de- mands of the hour. ' The CHICAGO TRIBUNE . will give n large share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT, It holds: 1st. That the old party organiza- tiohs are essentially corrupt and frandulent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, they have become mere -business enter~ prises, meking a show of opposition to each other, but really sharing in ‘the proceéds of profligate: and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that -any healthful reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- -out snd demoralized partnerships :is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. Theat tho tariff system now in ‘vogue is a cunning device to rob the many for the benefit of the fow, and that its effoct is to cause farm pro- duets to exchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- ::aected” goods they would otherwise uy. 3 8d. That railroads' connot exact more then a fair rete of interest on the capital actually invested in them, and that when, in ‘addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the Btatemay rightfully interfere for the :protection of' the people ; thatunjust discriminations. between different localities are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidies-or bounties of ‘money, land, or public credit, to railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, and tending to promote corruption, extravagance, speculation, and financial disaster. The general character of THE ‘CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need recapitulation. It is always independent and fear- less in the expression of its views. In its news department it is second to no paper in the United States. The Weekly Edition contains a care- fully prepared summary of the news of the week, brought down to the hour of going to press. Literary, political, financial, so- cial, and agricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, leading Features of the Weekly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increase its attractivenoss in these depart- ments, Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmers require for the intelligent transaction of busi- ness, both as sellers and buyers, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a large eight-page sheet, of tho same size as the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns of closely- printed matter, and, as a family newspaper and in its general make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land. THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during the ensuing year at the fbl- lowing rates, payable in advance: WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Single Copy, 8 2.00 7,60 13,60 1875 Twenty Cople 20.00 DAILY TRIBUNE.

By the cightoenth article of this troaty, the vosaols of olther power must exhibit pasaports to ships of war. Tho priuciplo is laid down for lib- erty of trado in the onemy's ports, and that froo shipa mako froo goods, excepting goods contra- band . The troaty specifies what shall be con- traban d goods, and is minuto in regulations ro- spocting passports and so lottors. - By the troaty of 1819, some modifleations are mado in the formor treaty, Bailors who dosors from the floets of the two' nations aro to be do- livored upon proof, and the neutral flag covors ll.}m_:numy’n property boyond cortain maritime limits, .Tho foregoing tronties aro regarded as rather tavorable to the Spanish sidc in the presont dilomma. Government officials, howevor, are fieuum]ly out against Spain for tho precipitato nsto with which the privateers were oxecuted, and the tone of foeling is more pronounced in favor of the Cubans than it has over becen. Thoro is & manifest disposition to hedge on this subject, and Mr. Fish is on tho defensive, {70 the Associated Press.) CONRESFONDENOE WITH TIE SPANISIE GOVERNMENT. ‘Wasninaroy, Nov. 9.—No now faots in rola~ tion to the Virginius_have transpired to-dny. The Departmont of State and Ministor Sickles aroin tolegraphioc communication on the sub- ect. The Spanisl Government claims that it s actod in good faith by neking o do- oy of }mnhhmsut on the passongors and ctew of thot vessel, and rogrots that it telegram waa not received in Cuba boforo thio exeoution taok placo. The diffioulty scema to be the inofficiency of that Government to control affairs in Cuba, in this as well as other mattors. Our Governmont is ongaged in offorts to atay proceoding as to the romninder of thoso on board tho Virginius until all the facts can be fully ascortained. THE BTATE DEPARTMENT SEERING INFORMATION. The State Dopartment has sent instructions to both Minister Sickles, at Madrid, and Consul- Goneral Hall, ot Havanh, to tolograph ne soon as eoss}bla all facts in rogard to the capturo of tho irginius, and the execution of purl&s on board that vessel.

The only information tho Governmont now hag is the fact that tha Vir- inus was captured and soveral porsons on or oxcouted, but as to ~in what wators, or undor what oircumstancos, the veusol was captured, no information nas boon ro- ceived. Until thesa facts aro known oflicinlly, :lm Government will tako no action in the mat~ or. THE GOVERNMENT PROCEEDING WITH CAUTION, “Tho quostion belng » very delioato ono, it is not the intention of “our authoritics to take any stop which cannot be_maintained under the Inw of nations, Our Government is muot satis- fied that tho ~ Virginius is entitled to the protection “of tho _ United Btates. 1t is true that sho sailed from New York undor American rogister, but it bas been charged that sho was sold to Quesada some fiftcen or eightoon months ago at Curacos, and sinco that time has beon eailing both Cuban and Venezue- lan flags.

'Tho wants of coal delivered at Cairo for the largo and over- Ancroasing steamboat trado thore, and to supply #the whole country from Calro to New Otloans, 11,000 miles, and the admitted superiority of this .Big Muddy coal over all othera for that groat wsupply, soems to insure o trado from the start “fully oqual to tho capacity of a singlo traok.” * I inquired of all the londing iron-oro-smalters, and of the rolling and puddling-mill men at St. ) Lonis and Carondolot, s to the quality and || morita of this conl, and 'tho almost or quits uni- vordal exprossion’ was: * Admitted to be Lhe beat coal for making iron in tho world.” Ex- travagant, possibly, but an emphatic conviction atloast, At tho meeting of tho Board of Di- 4 roctors of the Cairo & 8t, Louls Railroad, held ot Bast 8t.

Thoy very choorfully and gladly conourred, and tho road was dolivered ovor to tho Company, and s now oporatod by it, and its arnings from tho bogin- ning materially exceads its ordinary expenses ; and if the panio subsides, and tho ronowal of Duslness boginsin timo, it 1a confidently hoped and beliovod that its not earnings, by April next, may be oqual to the paymont of six mouths’ intorost, thon falling due, on all of its outstanding firat-mortgage bonds. It doos not soom to admit of & doubt that, if comploted, the rond would more than provido for interest on all of_its first and second mortgage bonds. I think it importaut to all concerned that it be completed ‘without dolay, Tho grading and bridging of tho rond from Murphysboro to Caire is substantially completed. Tho estimated cost of comploting the track and suporstructure was $297,600, includiug 1,600 tans of rails fu noeded, at '$85 ($136,000), and including chalrs, or fixad joints, oto., for ixty milos of track and side-track.
