DR, KAHN'S MUSRUM OF ANATOMY-Clark 0G0, botwaon Meaisen pod Maaros, The Chivags Tribune, Tuosday Morning, November®18, 1873, The charge for registering domestic letters ia to be reducod. Hitherto it has beon fiftoon «cents ; but, after Jan, 1, cight cents only will ‘be charged. ] Nearly soven-tonths of a mill havo beon added to the rate of Stato taxation by the Stato Board o1 Equalization to produce the additional rev~ o for the payment of tho intordat on the railroad-aid bonds. Tho assossment wes in- eronsed by $370,000,000, and tho rovenuo thore- onfrom a tax of 27-10 mills will bo $804,000. The rate of tax but for tho railrosd-ald bonds would have boen only 2 1-24 mulls, In the Cook County Asseseors’ roturna thero a8 ong cage of » widow woman who roported among har personal cstate $20,000 In currenoy ; there wero sevoral othor csses whoro like prop- ety was returned in sums ranging from $100 to ©6,000. Tho Stato Board of Equslization at Bpringfield added 98 per cent to these values, thus declaring that tho true valuo of the $20,000 gresnbacks was $39,600, and the County Clork has received instructions from Springfiold to oxtend on his booka for taxation the $20,000 ourroncy as worth $89,600, Tho same proceed- ing was taken in all the othor cases. Gov. Bov- sridge bas been notified that he must call out tho militia to colleot the tax on this valuation, Tag Cmroaco TRDUNE recently requested the Quincy Zerald to be good enough to mention the principles which the Democratio party is not willing to surrender. Whoreuvon the Herald tenders us Jofferson's Inaugural Addrens. As tho Democratic party datos baok only to Jackson, we sbould liko to know what tho Heraldis dolng with Jefferson’s Inaugural Address, Tho partios of Jofferson’s day wore doad and burled before modern Domocracy was born. With tho same graco the Herald might have tendered us the Ten Commandments as the principles which the Democratic party is not willing to surrender.

It1s mot likely that Chicago will ask tho Logislature to do eithor ono of theso things. Chicago will leave tho Rovonuo law and tho State Board to the action of tho State at largo, anatiafied that in tho end that portion of tha Btate outside Chioago will fool the noccomsity for a clhiango moro nsoriously than Chicago. Chicago proposes to tell tho tax-gatherer, whon ho comos round for tho Stato tax of 1878, that it will not bo pald,—mot n dollar of it,—g0 long as any lawful method of vosistanco remnins. Chicsgo proposos also to tost in tho courts whather tho Stato Treasurer ling any legal authority, sinco the fpassage ot tho Rovenuo not of 1872, to pay sny money col- Iocted from taxos, lovied for State purposos, out of the Treasury, unloss appropriated by law. Chicago proposcs to test in the courts whethor monoy raisod under a tax to pay the oxpenses of the Gonoral Assombly can be taken from tho Troasury to pay intorest on railroad-aid bonds hold by the Ring at Bpringfield, This is what Chicsgo proposes to do; and, 8o long aa the courts are froo, this will bono more than what any othor community can do, sud what somo othora aro already doing. Thoao ntters are not quostions forthe Legialature, but for tho courts, and in tho courts the railroad-ald bondholders will have none of tho advantsges which they, soem to havo enjoyod in manipulating tho State Board of Equalization. i —eee President Grant hns made public an Informal expression of his views on the Virginius caso. He and his advisors feol a8 indignant as any at thoe conduct of the Spaniards, and are detormined to proteot American citizens, and to compol ro- spoct for tho Amoerican flag, but thoy are still un- willing to nct oxcopt npon foll and trustworthy information which bas yot to como. Tho Vir ginius, the President aid, if properly cleared, bhad aright to entor any port in tho Spanish possosaions, and Spain had no right to interfere inany way with our merchant ships upon tho high seas. That, Capt. Trye, of the Virginius, trusted to this construction of intornational law is apparent from the Spanish account od the chaso and capturs, in which particular attontion is called to the fact that no ronistance whatever was made by the Virginius. When overhauled by the Tornado, hor officers quiotly surrendored her papers for examination, nover dreaming that all coneiderations of human- ity and law would be so flagrantly overridden. A mass mooting wos hold lsst night in Now York, which unanimously rosolved that the Government ought to take the promptestand most decisive measures, and invited war as prof- ersble to submission to such outrages. It Chioago, tho tide of publie opinion was very strongly sgainet the Bpaniards. From the in- not subseribo to Jofferson's Insugural Address, and Washaington's, too, for that matter. The Spanish crisis bas quite superacded that in the financlal world. Another guit hns been begun against Joy Cooke & Co. to throw thom into bankruptoy, and a temporary injunction has been granted to prevont thom from parting with sny of thelr property ponding the decislon of "tho suit. Hugh McCullach, the somior purtner of the London houso, will reorgeuize that part of the firm, and recommence busincss Jan. 1. Thoro has boon some discussion in Washington of the probability of an inflation vZthe cwrrency by Congresa. Senator Shey- man gives it out that any mensure of inflation that might pass the House would be cortaln to be defented In tho Senate, snd Gon. Garfleld trusts to tho Prosident’s veto to arrestit. The vondition of labor throughout tho country is a trifla bottar, For inatance, the Joliet Iron and Breol Mills, in this State, aro runniog on full timo, and expsct; to continue to do eo all winter. The question whether farmers shall sell their | hogs for less than §5 por 100 pounds is a tople ot animated discussion in tho weokly news- pupors, In some of them we obsorvo that the brutal Chicago packers are denounced for their supposad desire to keep down the price and to fatten on the farmers' pork, Wo understand that it makes no difference to tho packers whether the market price of hogs is high or low, or, if thore is any difference, their intereste are i favor of a high prico, sloce the price of meats (the astiole they have to soll) bears a steadyand aniform ratio to the price of hogs. It would andoubtedly be an ombarrasament to tho paok- exs if the farmers shonld unitedly withhold their hogs from the market, for then thoy would have nothing to do, but, 80 long as hogs come forward 15 some prico, it makes no differenco what that prics 18, provided it fs not wo high as to out off the domand. The people of Parls, Edger Oo—\mty, in this Btate, have diacovered s mew punishmont for Illegal yoting. On the day sfter the olsction Charles Smith, of that place, and his son Will- | fam wero arrosted for selling their votes to Loth | purties, and placed In tho calshooso, Tho next | morning, while the Mavabal was taking thom to | the Police Court, which waa some diatanco away, | » crowd gathered, and, getting the prisoners out | of thohands of the Marshal, thoy at onco com- | menced polting thom with oggs, The fathor and | wonran, and were chased all over the village, | bombarded, meaawhile, with rotten eggs and spplos, until thoy escuped the porscvution by | sooking sholtor in thelr own house, Aftortho | operation was over, tho poople gave vent to thoir | delight by satting oft fire-crackers and firing | gune and rovolvars.

Gov. Beveridge has already recelvod several offers of troops, in every branch of service. THE OUBAN ORIB1S. In considering the action of tho Cuban author. itios in disobeying the diroct instructions of the | Spanfah Government, it is necessary to under- stand the state of affajrs in Cuba. While nomi- nally a dependency of Spain, that island is really sn indepondent power, unrecognized by soy toreign Government, yot rechiving & quasi recog- nition from Spain horsolf. That is, whiloa cor- tgin body of men control the Govornment revonues and armies of Spain, an entiroly dif- feront body, yielding no obedisnco to tho firat, govern Quba, and they are really permitted so to do in return for the payment of a certain portion of the Ouban revenucs. This latter body is known by the indofinito namo of tho Volunteors, and as the whole of the population, productions, sand commerceof Oubsis at tho will of theas men, their bistory may not be uninteresting. After tho ravolution of 1808, the lowar classes of Bpain woro ina stato of agitation which led to the insurrectiona of Cadizand Malags, and to frequont uprieings in Arragon and Catalonia. To get rid of thoso dangerous chsracters, they were given the cholce, when captured, of being shat, #s was the custom of Gen. Do Rodas, or | of *volunteering " to put down the Caban ro- bellion, then just commencing, Tho men thus disposed of wore called in dorlsion * Volun- teors,” and wore tho subject of many sarosstio thymes in Spain, To thoir numbor were added all oriminsls who were occupylng Jsils or who voluntarily gave themsslvos up to ombark for Ouba, Somo 40,000 of thoss acoundrels, tho i loweat characters of Spanish slums, were ship- pedto Oubn with the ory of *Besuty snd Booty" oo their Ups, Bubsequent ehipmonts have awolled tho total to over 00,000, aud thess men are tho roal mastors of Cuba, When thoy shot down two unoffending Ger- mens for woaring bluo cravats (bluo being the color chiosen by the pateiots) ; whou they murder- ed, by & judieial farco similar to the Jast ono at Santiago, the young medical studonts for a boy- ish freak ; whan thoy fired indiscriminately into the Cafe do Ia Maring, killing Spaniards, Amer- fcang, and Cubnos alike; when they hoisted the black flag i all thoi¥ encounters with the patriot troops; ond laatly, when they oxocuted over fifty of tho. pansongors and orew of & vessel bearing tho flag of the United States,without ju- diclal process to detormine hor real churactor, they, in ench caso, showed thomaclves to bo be- youd tho pale of clvilization, and of no stund- fog in the oyes of Christendom. In reslity, thoro to-day exists no Government whioh demands any recognition by the Grost Powors, Bpain has long enough and suf- fiojontly ovidenced Ler incapacity to con- trol the affairsa of Cuba, and, to put a stop to tho doplorablo ovils which must exist there under the prosout order of things, some combined action by thiscountry and the partios 10 1lio Tronty of Washington should bo had., If the investigation of the Virglulug affaiy shows tlat our rights havo been Infringed, and that reparation cunnout bo bad n & peuceful way, we abould invite Grest Brilain to aat with us in suppressing the outrages of these Voluntesrs, THE CHICAGO DAILY. TRIBUNE: TUESDAY whom Spain Ia not ablo to control, and who dhz.- regord tho ordoers from thoe Madrid Government with fmpunity, If tho report is true, that n por- Uon of the crow of the Virginiua wero Britiuh wibjects, aud thoro Ia ovory roason to bellove it truth, thon Ureat Britain has tho smme prinelplas to vindioato that wo bave. It will bo neh bettor in avery respoct for tho two natlons to aot in concort, whother in a diplomatic, marl- time, or iinval point of viaw, than for the Unitod Statos to ncl aloue. Thoro ave many nico pointy In intornational faw to bo settlad, and the joint action of tho two countrios will obvisto suy dnngor thore might bo of othorwiso committing gravo mistakos, We sliall better consorve onr commorcial relations with Cubn, Lotter protect our own intoreats, and place ourselves in o bot- tor position in the eyos of the world, by joining bands with Great Britain and making common causo in the intorosts not ouly of national rights but also of common humanity. There is no doubt that Groat Britain will join the United Statos in this affair if any of hor subjects havo boen unlawfully dealt with, It is probablo, also, that tho joint proteat of the two countrios would aottlo tho Cuban problem without wor. Even if war woro nocesgary, it would bo much shortor nud loss oxponsivo than a war conducted by the TUnited States alone. It will bo & more prudont, aconomical, and wiso procacding in this delicato Dbusinoss for both nations to assume tho respon= sibility than for ono; and the invitation to this stop should como from tho United States, as hinving tho greator intorosis at stake. GOVERNI(ENT RAILEOADS IN EUROFE, Mr, William Galt has a papor in tho Novembor number of tho Fortnightly Review advocating the purchaso of tho Dritish railroads by tho Governmont, in tho courso of which he farnishes wome interesting and valuable information con~ corning tho rolativo merits of the privato and tho publio systoms of railrosds, In England, ns in Amorica, tho raflronds aro all in the hands of privato capltalists ; in oll tho other European Governments, thoy sre partly tho property of tho State, or subject to Btate control, with the priviloge of Governmont purchase. It was not tho intention of tho British Parlinment, in the first instanco, that railway com panies should havo a monopoly of tho moans of commanication on their livos. All thoaots of incorporation atipulated that all porsons should have tho right to use the roads on payment of certain tolls, But as tho railronds “grow in strongth ond business by the uso of locomotive powor, this systom was found to bo impracticablo, snd It has long since beon abandoned, This loft tho owners possesscd of & groat monovoly, sinco competi- tlon i absolutely shut out whore ono person or ono corporntion has the oxclusive use of an iron bighway. The grievances of which the British public now complain aro substantislly the samo in character s thoso of the Amorican public, viz.: Excossivo rates; discrimination against cortain towns and districta ; rofusal to separate transportation charges from tho charges for handling ; the arbitrary classification of goods; determined opposition to new lines ; and the rafusal of the various lines to make yunuing ar- rangements with lines of antagonistio interosts, A year or s0ago, the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce forwardod a memorial to the Prime Minister, sotting forth deliberate discrimina- tion against that city in order that unprofitable railway oxtonsions in other diroctions might be made to pay. The remody suggested was the limitation of the company's dividends, but as such limitation was not authorizod, no setion was takon. Evidenco has also been produced to show that the railroads have spent hundreds of thousands of poundsto pravent the char- tering and building of new lines, Othor ovi- dence bas baeu found in plenty to the effect that railronds deliberatoly retard commercial progross and incronse the cost of travel by refusing to make arrangoments for connecting difforent syatoms in = schodule of fares, or by giving run-~ ‘ning powars, because thoy wero contending in- torosts, Railronds run tholr pnssenger cara in England with an averago of not more than one- third of thoe seats filled, but thoy refuse o ro- duce theix faros and inoreass travel, when they would not rocelve any more money than at pros: ent, These and othor grievances, Mr. Galt con- tends, dan only bo ramoved by the Government purchase of the railronds, A comparison between the British and Bol- gian, or Continental, raliroad systeranis cortatuly uch to tho advantage of the latter in practical operation for the public beneflt. Belginm was the first of Continental countries to rocog- nize the valmo of & well-established systom of rallroads. The lines were lald out by engi- neors, anda network of railways of about 500 miles in all was projectod, Two trunk railways, crossing onch other at right auglos, wore con- structed, with subsidiary lnos, & tiw samo time, chartors were granted to private corpora- tions, In 1850, tho Btato had constructed 841 miles, and the private companies 193 miles, of rallroad. From this time on, the private com- vonles made more rapid progross, as tho pur- pose of the Government had been accomplished ; and, In 1800, 727 of the 1,073 milea of railroad in the Kingdom wero in tho hands of privato cor- porationp. The Governmont eoncossions wero givon moparately and in small lots, and grent oare hes always boon oxerclood to roserve sufiolont righta to provent a monopoly. At firat, a very low rate was adopted for the Governmont ronds, but it haa bosn Incroased s littlo since that time {n order to furnish sufliciont encouragoment in falr profits for tho private companies, The Government oares to earn xio mora than enough to pay the interest on the capital lnvested and sot asldo & umall awount each yoar ag s sinking fund for the final discharge of tho.debt. ‘The French waro fivo yeara hohind England in constructing tholr firet railrond, The principle of State munagomont was dofented at the bogin- niug, Mr. Ualt anys, by two parties, one of which was jealous of tho intluenco which such vast potronage wouid glve tho Governmons, sud the athor doslrous of making great profits out of tho introduotion of railway shares on the Dourso- It was not until Napoleon III. asconded the throno {liata system of Government control was fairly insugursted. The French railways aro operatod under Joascs, At tho oxpiration of ninoty-nine years frora 1853, all railroads ravert to ihoBtate, Tho railrond system of Gormany waag startod in 1838, with concesslons to privato companics, but it has sinco boen chiruged so that tho system {4 practically the name aa that of Dolglum, Thoe accommodations sre in overy way supetior to thogo of tho Britlah rallways, and yot tho ohargos are but little more than half, In passengor travel, s hundred miles in Ireland conts a first-olass passengor 184, 4d. (34,60 gold), and In Qormany only 134, 8d, (§3); towost class in Troland, 8x, 4d, (32.10), in Germavy 85, 2d, (60¢). Tho raliroud wystems of the othor Oon” tiuentul countrios are 1uatepinlly tho same 3 the Belgium system. The smployse of the Biste ronds bolong to tho pormenent Olvil Servico, and no diffioulty In found In forcing tho private compnlos, by thio ompotition of tho Govorn- ment lines, to couform to the tarift of the Intter Au oot was passed by tho Dritlsh Parliament, in 1844, which was intendod to give tho Stato tho absoluto right of purohsso; but Mr. Galt lolioves it to Lo proctiesily inoporative. Tho ot provides that tho Governmont shall pay twonty-ivo yoara' purohnse of tho aunusl dlyi- dond profits, outimated on tho sveragoof the threo noxt procoding yoors. At this rato, the British Government would havo to pay 26 por cont honus, and in momo cases tho svorage agaiut thom would bo still largor. For inotanco, tho Govornment would beZobliged to pay £68a sharo for tho Motropolitan Road, when fin markot valuo is only £87, snd soon, An eati- mato has boon mado, which Mr. Galt thinks too liboral i anything, that .£600,000,000 (23,000, 000,000) would bo a fair prico for the rallroad property of the Kingdom, sallowing n reasonablo bonus on tho market value of tho shares, snd that they would thon yield s profit of £7,600,000 (887,600,000) por annum to the Government ot low ratos. THE UNDER-SIDE OF THE QUSTOM-HOUSE. Compromising Oustom-ilouso suits scoms to bo o regular nud lucrative lino of official busi- nosa in Now York Clty. Therois a formal pro- coss for discontinuing these suita in court, and a8 the compromises are always mado privately they attract no attention, It is only when tlo offorts at compromiso are rogisted, as in tho caso of Pholps, Dodge &' Co., for a timo, that tho facts aro givon to tho public, A United Statos statate provides for the distribution of the funde obtained In this way. Out of tho sum paid over to scouro tho dismissal of the suit are doducted the amount of the dutics due the Gov- ornmont on the smugglod goods, tho foes of the Clerk of tho Court and the United Statos Mar- shal, and tho percontago of tho United Btates District-Attorney and the Clork. The Olerk's foos amonnt to about §60 in ench case, and ho s furthor 1 por cent on tho gross smount re- colved: Tho Marshal’s feoa ato about tho sxmo 08 thoso of tho Clork, Tho District-Attorney lina o percontage of 2 per cent on the grous amount. ‘Aftor theso deductions havo beom mado, ong-half tho compromise money i paid iuto tho United States Troasury. Of tho re- maindor, one-half goes to the informer, who is genorally o Spoclal Agont, and tho othor ia paid to the Colloctor of tho Port, who divides with tho Naval Oficor and tho Surveyor of the Port. Horo is sn officisl ring of six porsons,—tho Marabal, Clerk, District-Attorney, Colloctor, Naval Officor, Surveyor, and Spocial Agent,—nll of whom have a direct intorest in compromising suits bronght for ponalties whore custom duties Lavo been evaded. The Now York Zribune re- contly published a list of the cases thus com- promisod within thres yoars, togethor with a disposition of tho funds rocovered, In ali, sev- onty-sevon cases havo been settlod, yiclding & gross sum of $1,488,618.06. But $717,806 of this sum, or less than bhalf, has bocn turmed over to the United Btates. Of tho rost, the District-Attorney’s foes have takon 28,3203 tho Olork snd Marshal, $22,086; the Collestor, Naval Offfcer, and Surveyor, #858,078, and the informer 8358,078.40. Thore has long beon an fmpros- ston among the morchanta of Now York—and, indoed, olsowliore—that smuggling s sctually encouraged by this system of compromiso, and that its only bonoflt is for agonta and informers, to whom it opons up a wido fleld for blackmail- ing. This {mpression will be heightened by the showing which the Now York Tribune has mado of tho enormous profits - thas: compromises yleld to Informers and Qustom-House officlals. BISBOP CUMMING. In his lettor to the Bishop of Kentucky, Dr. Cummins announces that he has *“ sovored the rolations ” which ho has sustained with the Bishop and dioceso of tho Church in Kentucky, and that, therefore, I leave tho communion in which I havo labored in tho sacred miniatry for over twenty-eight years, and transfer my work and office to another ephore of lsbor.” ¥rom this it appears that Dr. Cummns proposce to continuo tho office snd exercieo the functions of aBishop of the Protestant Episcopsl Church, but he intends to do so outside of that Church. Ho knows perfootly well that the canona of the Church provide for his deposition from the office of Bishop ; but he evidently ia propared to maintain his office without any regard to the future action the Church may take in his case. Iu other words, Dr. Cummins proposcs to be Bishop of a new Church,—and, for the present, solo Bishop. Ho has marked out for himself & policy toward tho Protcstant Episcopal Church ‘the ssmo as that adopted in Germany by Dr. Relnkens, who ia sole Bishop of tho Ol1d Catholica, Tho two prolates propeso to divide tho Churches from which thoy soparate. Both are Blahops,—able to exhibit an Apostol- ical succession in thelr conscoration, snd both claim to represent the genuine Church of which they ciaim tobo the chief Bishop, Thero is & differonce, howover, in other respects. Bishop Rolnkens is representod and conceded to Lo » man of great natural ability, and atanda intelleo- tunlly high smong the theologiany of Germany, Hohos n large following, both of recognizod priests andof the laity. He has also within the reach of his influsnce not only the Btates of tho German Empirse, but of Bwitzerland, largely of {he Austrian Btatoo, and to eomo extont in Franco and Bolgium,—a body of Oatholics num- ‘boring many milliona of peoplo, With theso ho claims to be, and practically is, in full agrec- wont upon all articles of Catholic falth aud dootrine, anve the one ldoa of Papal Infallibility, Ho preaches, thorefore, nothing that 18 now ; he rotaina tho old faith with all ita forms snd in all its logicpl conclusions, and merely invitea the Roman Catholica to unite with him in rojosting what ho inestu i sn innovation. Dishop Cummins, though & man of fair ability and learning, can herdly claim intellectual sapo- lority among tho prolaten and pastors of the Church. ¥oe liny nover ocoupled any command= Ing position, and during s long servico hoa failod Lo malo any such markoed impreselon upon tho publio as would suggoest Lim as s londor. Dolog » Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, ho has but a limited body of laity to address, Ils chancos of galning prouolytes among persons of other and more numorous do- nominntions are, porhaps, greater than among thoso of his own Ohurch, He can hardly expoct by hig influonce to croate any division {n {ho Eue glish or the Britlsh-Amerlcan Ohurcbes, Ifo wlll huve o followers among tho Amorican Dishopu, though there may bo Unlf-p-dozan clorgymon, already in aifioulty with 'the Churels, who will reaoynizo him oy tholr Blskiop.

What did publio virtuo have to do with (ho quostion, if the act was neithor illegal or unjust? Mr, Smith does not stop to oxplain this. Ho says that he does nob roturn tho money to tho United States Treasury, becauso it was not etolen, Then why re- turn it to his district for tho boueflt of homeloss childron? Ho coutends that tho money belongn to his constituency, and not to tho peoplo of tho cauntry gonerally. But, it the law was noither illogal or unjust, it bolongs to him, and there is no speoial claim upon him to donato it for tho benoflt of homoloss children, Ar.
