The Board of Trado yesterday adopted a nerles ot rosolutions emphatioally condemning tho practico of tho warehousemen in londiug Rrain, aud delivering grain without tho return and cun- sellation of receipts therefor, us daugorous and Injurious to the value of racolpts o8 n seourity ; 14 not domsuded by any necossity of legitimato irade; and ag cxloulated to irpoir confidenco in ihe trsusactions of the Board, It also roquest- 3 all proprietors of warchouses to fully comply with the Jaws in regard to the inepoction snd trarehousing of grain, and thereby secure tho in- togrity of wevehouso receipts. It calls upon the ofticers of tho Btate to enforco the laws vigor- ously, and to tako messures to socuro & dally ro- port of shipments, Elovator managors are ro- quested mot to issue “eplit” roceipts without first canceling the originals, This action fully suateina the roport mado by tho Spoclel Commit- tooin their rocommendations, It fsn propor protost against & long-continued nbusg, which is grently calculated to injuro the character of tho grain trado, Tho aritten conforsion of John I, Trving, the solf-confaesed acoomplice in the murder of Hone jamin Nutban, has more than over boclouded this mystorious caco, According to lrving, thero were two othior persons ongaged with him in the commission of the dood—Daniel Kclly and Ca- lob Guonion, Ho alloges that Iolly Lilled Na- than, while he aud Quunion loy in wait fn the collar, and subsequently participated in the rob- bery nnd divided tho funds equally smong them- selves, Ho aluo claimy to hava Nathan's momo- randum-book, and tolis whera the *dog" ermo from with which the murder was committed.

Tho only taugible facts with rogard to our rela- tions with Spain are that our Governmont is ceaselogly pushing on its proparations for war. Without, ovarything {s rumor aud contradiotion, but in tho navy-yards and. shops thera in an unintermittont clangor of work that is all tho moro significant for tho uncertain sounds olsewhore. Tho marino corps is to bo re- cruited to tho full standard, and matters aro erpecinlly aclive at the Norfollk Navy-Yard, which, in tho ovout of war, will bo the station nesrost tho scono of hostilitios. Wash- ington advices declaro that Spain is willing to rostoro the Virgining, i sho bo showm entitled to carry the American flag, and go so far as to indicato tho basis of an ngreemont which los boon mnde botween tho two countries. Other dispatches contradiot these statomonts dlatly. Senator Morton aud Secretary Fish woro in conforenco soven houra yesterdey, butihe public aro as ignorant ot its resultsns of those of tho othor Importaut councils hold lately. Tho Bocrotary is stated to heleve tho eftuation moro than evor hazardous, and to have becomo really approlionsive that there may be war. The work of tho Stato Board of Equalization, when examiued in dotnil, presents some oxtraor- dinary examples of tho rockless way in which thoy “ oqualizo” taxes. oro aro somo speci- mong in the way of taxing sewing-machines, The averago prices at which thoy are to bo taxed in the soveral countics named nro os follows: Sougumon Col 24 [ Lako Gounty Groata County. ... 4014 | Bipncnaon-Go If thore bo anything which bas tho same gou- oral veluo ovorywhore, itls o sewing-machino, and yet tho abovo will illnstrato how tho State Bourd *cqualized " that value, Greono County was punished even more soveroly than Cook, In thomattorof steam-enginesaud boilers, tho Board adopted $617.80 na the averago taxable valuo of cach in tho Stato, buvthey “equalizod ” tho valuo Letweon tho conndes by texing thoso in thiy county at tho rate of $1,710.82 ench, Mulos in tho State wero charged at an average valuo of §54.60; thoso in Cook County are put downat §113,83; in Sangamon County, $60.28; in Ma- son County, §14.83; McHenry County, 6. ‘I'his algo was called oqualization, Prosidont Woolsoy has summed up tho Cuban complication as clearly 88 it can bo stated iu eaying that thoro was sham on both sides. Tho Virginius was sailing as an American vessel, and still sho was ot an American vessol. Tho Span- inrds proteud that thore is no war in Cubs, and yet thero is war. *“'The only reality sbout tho matior," eays Dr. Wooleoy, “was the terrible oo that broke through the shams,” when the Spantel anthorities, in gelf-defouse, arrested the warlilco movemont of & vessal sailing under falso colors. This being tho real condition of things, it {s the duty of tho Amorican Government, so for 09 iu it power Hes, to pravent a ropetition of this doublo shum, In {he caso of hostile ex- poditions fitted out in this country agninst Spanish aathority in Cubs, which issone of DAILY " UBUNE: THURSDAY, NOV IMBLER 27, 1873, his lottor of reagnstion, Mr, Ifickoy oxpressed his ability to cxplain the Lizzie Mooro onso nb tho proper time, Lho proper time las coms now, If M. Hickey 14 an applicaut for n position on the police forco. Until anok usplauation ns will bo katitactory to the publio fu furnishod, M. Colvlu.would make a very serions error in recognlzimg Hickey in uny manner whatover. If this ts the 1ainepring of o movoment agalnat My, Colvin within tho oople's L'arty, we hopo that hio will resfat it at all hazatdy, Wao aro opposod Lo Aldermmnic combina- tions nnd leglslativo combinations to domi. neer ovor tho I xocutive branch of the Governmont, The publie have & vivid recollection of “Macoulsy's Ninoteon,” und want no moro of that sort, ‘Lhia colebrated combination was only broken up by tho arrost and trinl for bribory of aportion of the Ring. Tho escapo of sonio of the sucpeotod porsons at thnt time may lond them and others to holieve that thoy can follow iu tho samo footstops with- out coming to grief. Wo give all such persons warning that public sontimentls not & whit more tolorant now thdn it wog then. Any combing- tion of Aldermon which rots out with the pur~ pogo of rotarding tho public business and ham- poring tho City Government because this or that blaokguard i not appolnted to ofiles, must bo crushed. Wo baliove that it can bo crushod by tho firmness of the Mayor-olect with the support of all those in tho Council who, whether they noted with tho Peoplo’s Party or not, ata op- posed to combinations and jobs of ovory desorip- tion, Bo faras any sunouncement of Mr. Colvin's proponed nppolntmonts bas boen made, 1t indi- catos n purpogo on his part of appointing the best availablo mou for the positions at his dis- posal, without rogard to mativity or politics. This is tha only fair way in which the lst can be mado out, nod Mr. Colvin was eloeted by so largo & majorily that hic can afford to pursuo it with~ out dangor of defeat, If ho carrics out this policy, ho will bo fully sustamed by public sonti- mont, which iz altogothor tho best support ho can havo, and, wo beliovo, also bf & majority in tho Board of Aldormon. Wo do not ‘thinlk that the roported combination will dovolop sufficiont strongth to dofoat him in this course, but, it it does, ho can throw tho reapmsibility upon the combination, who will thon have to scttlo with tho poople. THE CITY PRINTING. . Boing desirous to aid tha Ohicago Times in its efforts to mako a living, we aro disposed to con- gratulate Mr. Storey that ho is an applicant for tho city printing, nnd that Ald. McGrath bhas agreod to go for him, and uso Dhis influenco with tho Irish mombors of tho Common Council. Wo aro disposed slso to admiro tho forgiving and Christian spirit of tho Times, and tho oqually noblo candor with which McGrath drops his shillelagh and rushos fnto the arms of Storoy, as if Lo were a long-loat brother. Ald. McGrath i8 no longer a designing scoun~ drol, a man bont only upon schemes of mischiof and self-nggrendizemont, and s bold, bad Alder- man, but a capablo, honest, and dill- gont oMcial. The Irish aro no longor o race of bog-trotters with hair on thelr tooth, nwearing, fighting, drunken wrotches, living in the filth of Bridgeport and tho squalor of Kilgubbin, beating their wives, starving their children, abysing their neighbors, and swarming in our Polico Courts and Bridewell. Now that publie printing is to be distributed, they are as good as ** ony other man,” if not botter. Buch Larmony aa this, such s reconailiog of conflict- ing olemonts, such lovo and mutual forbasrance aro touching cxhibitions of Eclectio good will and Irish docility. Evory Iriehman's hair grows now where Naturo intended 1t should. Nono of thom drink whieky or fight. They are n tomporate, frugel race, patient under provoca- tion, sud disposed when thoy aro smitten on‘ono cleole to turn the other also, ‘Wo ropeat, thoreforo, that we ero disposed to folicitalo AMr. Storay that he has become rocon~ oiled to AleGaath und the Irieh, and that with their holp he is going to got tho city printing. Ald, McGrath i an excellent man to do thia {ho ehams in the caso, it is the duty of the Gov- erninent to uso overy efforl to overt a ropetition in the future. With vespeet to tho pretonse of Spain {hat thero i no war in Cubn, whero thero has boen a war for five years, the sham should Do removed 8o far as wo are concerned by tho recoguition of the Cuban insurgents as bellig- erents, ontitled to tho rights'of bolligereats uu- dor international law. The decision of Judge Tipton, in the Gilman, Clinton & Springticld Railroad caso, throws a flood of light on tho railrond-sid bond queation and agood many collatorel questions, It os~ tablishes beyond o doubt thut most, if not all, tho railroads built on tho local subsidy plan are worth all that they cost; that tho town and county bonds issued to aid in their construction aro o valid lien on {ho roads, to their respootive amounts, and cannot bo submorged under othor liona of u flasitions charactor, or swallowsd up by fraudulont lonncs ; that in this ceso (and probably in others) the towns snd counties which ssued the bonds were virtunlly cheated out of tho wholo amount of thelr subscriptions, and that they con recover the amount at coms mon lnw. And, fually, it shows that tho Grab Liaw of 1809, by whioh it is now sought Lo suddlo tho wholo railroad-nid dobt of 13,000,000 upon tho pooplo of tho State, was ust only frauduleat but unuceessary,~frandnlent beeause it sought to trunofer tho burden of u dobt to the shoul- ders of thore who hed never contracted it, and unnecosrury keeanso tho yopds 1o conolructed are abundeatly able fo pay It thomaclves. TIE UXLY APPOINT~ TED KE' Tho publie bave been {uforined fhus there io e projeci on foot (o farm u eombinntion among corlain Aldermon of tho baser nort to re- wist Mayor Colvin's nominations, in o certain contingoney, wnd (o ofhersiso hampor his Administration, and, in short, to “run” the City Ctovernwent, ‘[ho acension of this dofoc- tlon, whic't is prineipally among the Trieh poli- tislany who neted with the Peoplo's Party, I underntood to bo My, Colvin'n raluenl to divide tho sppoiutments vecord demands, Wo understuud thnt theso parties havo mado an svorago of six upplivations for overy placo within the gift of {he incom- ing Moyor, and, in (hiy eaun, it wonld have baon neceasnty to multiply tho leonl oficon by cix, which Mr. Colvin certainly has not-the powor, snd probably not tho desive, to do, Thelr main grievanco o tho failuro Lo so- onre tho place of Buperintondent of Polico for Mike Teloy, Mr, JLickey wont cut of the Po- iea Depurtment uudor u olond.

In work, His well-known contempt of lucro, his Lonesty of purpose, and freodom from indict- mont qualify him for this labor of love, snd wo aro inclinod to uid him, The ZTimes is ‘‘out of moat.” M. Storey's circulars to business-moen hava not had the dosited effect. This is o timo of general strivgency. It is going to be o hard winter. 1t is a time when wo should all foel charitably dispoesd loward tho indigent and thogo uunblo to mnk: living without public usgistance, ke ;ublic bave always felt a sympathy for M Btorey, struggling along so quiotly und patiently, never injuting man or womau, hover esying an unkind word about any one, During his recont offort to gat some advortising, wo did all in our power to Lielp Lim, evon offoring our own eolumna for bis use. Notwithstending all that wo did, we are pained to soy that it was of no avail. In tunesof gen- eral financial stringency, the public is vory apt to overlook privato appeals. If tho senson had baen moro favorsblo, wo Lave no doubtwe might have got somo advertising for him ; but we aro uot disheartenod on that ncconnt. Wo nre still going to help as much as posaiblo. If we can succoed in carrying tho Times through tho pres- ont etringency, there {s hopo for it, and wo sball have tho rowurd which always follows tho por- formonco of beuovolent zetionn, which is all the rewnard we ask. And fn the firet placo woenn inform Storeyand MoGrath how thoy cau tecure the object m viow, Got tho prices of the printing yelsed, and thon divide the difforouce bo- tween tho old nnd mew yprices among tho Alderinen " who will bgreo to voto for tho Tines wa Corporzticn Printer. This is & por- feetly safo oporation, aud of course would not bo cenefrned oa improper by any one. It isn gieat decd belter pian than eigniug cheeks ju blauk end distributing them about, beeauso they nro apt to get before a Granddnry andmakotrouble, The plun wo recomniend is fonsiblo, caslly man- aged, and loaves no unpleasant souvenirs bee lind. By adoptiug such o plan s this, scconded Dby the indefatigablo laboru of Ald, McGrath, wlho 1 no longer n designing seoundrol, and of thw Irich Aldermen, who hava no longor any halr on thelr {outls, wo aro sure thut tho Z¥mes will Do able to get tho ity printing, aud will thus be relloved from any immedinte nocosalty for uoe liciting ndvortisomontu or applylng for publio oburity.

Tho Court held that thore way nothing in the ovidenco showing that tho road had lost over $1,600,000; it has paid running exponsos and intor- et on §3,000,000 sinco it bogan oporations. Tho fact that the Pennsylvania Company is willing to oporato tho road, pay its ourront exponacs, pay interest on 92,000,000 firat-mortgage bonds, sud Joave o surplus to apply on tho other million of ‘bondanowin tho haudsof Scott, ought toshow that tho stock of the Company was worth par. Undor theso circumstancos, the Court could not permit tho Dircctors to wipo out tho capital stock by rendering it worthless and burdoned with o debt of $3,000,000, Under all tho cirounstancos, tho Court thought it his duty toappoint a Recoiver to tako chargo of and manage the railroad until much time as it can bo sscortained who aro the bona flde stockholdera, This ousts tho Ring of Springflold bankers from tho managomont of thoroad; it probably puts ‘an oxtinguishor upon the Barclay Coal Company's contract, snd gonorally it indicates that where county subscriptions to railrond stock hinye boon made, and tho railroad ia then stolon away, thero is o way to get tho proporty Lnck. It was to make tho peoplo of the State at largo pay tho interost on this $508,000 of county bonds that tho Stato Auditor and Board of Equalization managed to have the Btalo as- scsymont incroseed nearly 200 per cent, If the towns and counties which have boen swindled Into voting bonds for other railroads that lave been stolen in this State will take like messures to recover their property, tho effect will bo to biot out & large amount of freudulont and iniquitous local dobt, which tho bondholdera are trying to mako the State of Illinois agsumo.

A man nomed IMardin diod recently, who had dono an oxtensive business a8 an importer for twenty-five years, Ho was at his businces overy day, and his nsso- clations were with prominent and honorable mon, Ho smnssed during bis businoes career a fortune of §2,000,000, and waa generally thought to bo & bacholor of modest and retired social labits, Yet, during all this time, and undiacov- orod by his most intimate companions, he has livod with & soman as his wifo undor tho sssum- ed name of Mr. and Mrs, Walker, To tho neighbors, tha trades-people, the family physi- cian, and other domostio associntos, ho was known ag Mr. Walker, and a marriod man; to the business men of Broad and Liborty streots, ho was xnown as Mr. Hardin, and o bachelor. Throughout twenty-five years, thoro was no confusion of the two charactors,— o circumstance which could only be possible in a great motropolis liko Now York. Upon his do- mise, tho woman with whom he had livedasa wito mado application for halt of his property, to which slio was entitled in the absonce of a will, while saveral nephews ¢laimed the wholo of it on tho ground that sho hnd nover beon mar- ried to tho docensed.

Tho most importznt itom in the proposed banking-roforme in New York, which were do- feated at tho last meeting of tho associated bauks, was tho prohibition of the practico of cortifying chools whon thoro wore not doposits to correspond with the corlification. Bo far as the National Banks are concorned, this practico i unlowful, and the Comptrollor of the Cur- roncy announces his intention of rigidly onforcing tha law. If this ia dono, the spoculativo doalings in whickh noarly all the Now York banks havo taken part horotoforo will be thrown Into {ho hands of tho private baukors, as thoy aro chlefly enrried on by means of cartified chocks aud collaterals, instead of ac- (ual deposita, ‘This i3 as it shoutd bo.
