T'ho dispatches give no indication of what con- sidoration the rocommondation for mercy will recolve at tho handa of Prosidont MacMalion, The discusslon of Houso assumed o moro dignitied and roputable charactor yestordoy. ' Thero was greater dispo- sition to discuss the question at issue and less to indulgo in offensive porsonalities.

Mr. Dawes bad the temerity to prosent tho phase of the question rolating to the Prosident's com- pengation, which amounts now to$200,000 actuul puy for the torm, and 200,000 more of allowances which defruy exponses that sre personal and ap- pertuin to his position, Ar, Dawes was eareful, liowover, toexoopt President Grant from the effaot of his romarks, ou the ground that his pay cau- not be constitutionally reducod, His allowances may be cut down, however, s8 3Mr, Niblaok has ‘suggestod.” Mr. Dawen waved his loyalty by thanking God, in an impressive way, that Gon, Grant did not sock tho oflico for tho atininmont of wonlth, ns Lis successors will it tho pay bo allowed to remain as it is. Tho provious ques- tion will be moved to-day, and the practical sen- timent of the House exprossed by a vote. "Tho Houso of Represoutatives, Doc. 8, sentod ono Goeorge L. Bmith (Republican) as member for the Bbreveport (La.) District, upon a cor- titioato bearing dato ' Nov. 20, 1875, ihat ho had boou chcson at a special olection, Nov. 24, vice Samuel 11, Poters, tho Republican claimant in the contestod election of 1872, who had died at Shroveporl, Oct. 1, of yollow fover. 'Iho Bhyoveport District Leing 250 miles long by from 50 to 100 miles wide, oxtonding from near Baton Touge along tho whole longth of the Red River to the northwest cornor of Loulsiaus, some mémbors remarked that this was protty quick work to be dono all mmdo of ten days; but, quick as it was, the action of tho House was oven quicker in woating Smith by a party voto, ouly iwo Republicans voting in tho negative, Now, it is worth while to recoall tho fact that this ' same Shroveport District had to olect, in Novomber, 1872, for & then oxiating vacaucy as woll as for a full torm in Congross, nnd {be candidates wero: For the vacancy—Aloxander Boarman, Liberal; Harry Lott (colored), Republican, For the full torm— E.

Petors, Re- publican, The House of the last Congress seat- od Boarman, and, aftor dusinquiry, rotained him in Lis seat, aud to that extent rebuked the olec- tion fraud of the Custom-House gang in Now Orleans, Later in that session, the vole of Louisiana, for Prosident, was rojected from tho Electoral count. In disregard of all this, and without a moment's inquiry, upon the urgoncy of Ben. Butler and othors, tho Houss of the presont Congresy decides that Bamuol I, Poters (eince decensed) was duly olected in 1872, rejocts Mr. Davidson, whose credontials nre the same and whose claim is the same as was Boarman's, and soats 2 man upon & certificato in itself moro questionable, probably, than was ever befors presonted to auy Conzress: And just hore comes in a uew illustration of tho salary-grab, Mr. Smith, declarod Dy tho Houso to have boen elacted, Nov. 24, to & va- caucy which dated from Oct. 1, draws back-pay from March 4, 1873, in tho sggregate sum of §5,625. Ho draws it all because, until the Houso took some action, neither Potars nor Davidson could be recognized by the disburaing officor as cntitled to any part of it. But the recognition of Smith by tho House is slso, indirectly, s recognition of Totors; and if Potors was, in fact, tho momber-olect whoae doath caused a va- cancy, may not the heirs of Poters claim Con- grossional pay from Afarch to Octobor—seven months, §4,375? . THE GRAIN-INSPECTION. The grain-inspection in Chicago has received somo new light In the proseoutions Instituted by TInspector Iarper ngainst vavious porsons, who, at the requost of the owners of grain, have giv- en certificatos a8 to its quality and grade, Tho flrst of these prosocutions wos before Justice D'Wolf on “I'nosday, and a fino of 860 was im- pored. Itis to ba Lopod, for the credit of tho Btato, that this will be the last proscuution of tho kind, and that shippers aud owners may yet bo allowed ordinary liborty with their own prop- erty. 'l)‘hu Warchouso sud Inspeotion ict of 1871 provides in Soc. 20 a8 follows : Any person who shsll assuiao to sct a8 su Tuspector of raln, who bas nob Hret beon #0 appoluted and wworn, shall be held to bo an lpostor, and shull bo puntshod by a fino of not less than $50, nor moro thau $100, for eschiund evory attempt to o inspect grain, 10 bo racovered befora a dustice of tho Paace, Tho intent aud purpose of this sct is cloar upon its faco. Thoro had beon & aystom of in- spoction in Chicago under which ull grain was inspoctod by porsons appointed by tho Bored of 'mdo. The Inw substituted for this an inspec- tion by porsous appolnted by tho Stute, Tho commoreln] inapection was abolished to make ‘way for the statutory. oft tho Board of ‘I'rndo and all other bodlos $hut might attempt to wetup & rival system of in- apection, by punishing any person who should attompt to porsonate a Stato Inspuctor, That was the whole Intent o2 the luw, ‘ho statutory inspection, huving fiually driftod intopolitics, haa proved s fallure,~—so muol o that the ofticlal ingpection of grain bas cousod to be considerod sufliciont Iu determining lts valuo, Undor the law,all grain entering warehouses is.inspoctod by ome forco of Btato Inspec- tors, and all geain shipped from warohousos is Inspected by anothor force of Iuspsotors.

It will not bo protonded that the owner may not examina tho grain delivered to him by the Inspector, and what the owner may do in person he may do by olerk: or agent, Ho uncertain has the Btato inspection becomo thut mauy of the lnrger shippers rofuse .to accopt yrain from tho warohouso unless thoy huvean agent vrosont to watoh it, and from whom they can obtain o certificato, '"[hiy cortifieate of oxamination by & competent person hias much groator value than iho State Innpentlon" The one isacceptod as de- termining the quality of the grain shipped, tho other na miguifying that the law has boon com- plied with. T'he employmeut of these shipping- agonts bas hocomo a necessity, and s heavy ad- ditional cost, because of the suspicion attaching 10 tho State inspoction,.

ANDREW J. PERTEET. Gov. Boveridge, having officiully notitied tho Sheriff of Will County that ho declines to inter- foro in the casa of Porteot, tho wurderer, the oxtreo penslty of the law will bo enforced at Joliot about 1 o'clook to-morrow, and An- drow J, Porteet will oxpiato upon the gal- lows the brutal crimo which he committed over two yeors ago. Perteet was born in Georgin, in 1814, and came to Illinois in 1851. In tho latter year ho was married, and the next year his daughter Lucinda was born, ‘Liore is nothing to show that there was any dis- turbanee in the family until 1868, and in this yesr troubls commonced, growing ‘out of the conduvt of the doughter, whick gradually incronsed until finally, quar- rols wero 80 frequent between Pertoet and his wifoand daughter, that the family was broken up. The wife loft him zud engaged apattmonts on Polk stroot. Portoot Limsolf lived on Btate strect, and the daugliter went to hire out. Notwithetanding the fact that thoy were living apart, tho throe often met, and on each occasion vonewed their quarrels, At last, they reached their climax in blood. On Suuday ovouing, Sopt. 15,1871, the daughter, who was ot her mothor's house, heard a scuflling over- head and a heavy fall. Rushing up-stairs, she found ber mother with hor throat cut, weltering in blood, and saw Pertoot leaving the housc. The gsame night Porteot delivered bhim- solf up to the polico authorities, pre- tonding to bo insane and mutterivg incoherent stuff about his own thront being cut. Tho eovidenco was soon collected which made it cortain that Perteot had murdered his wifo, snd upon the Coronor’s wurrant ho was comnnitted to jaill. His firat trial took placo tho same fall, and he was found guilty and sentenced to bo hangod Jan. 12,1872, 'I'wo daya Leforo that time, howover, the Supreme Court granted o supersedeas in the caso, becauso tho Court below had erred in rofusing the application for a change of vonuo, Tho socond trisl took place at Joliet, Will County, sand ho was again found guilty and sentencod tobo bhanged. Again his indofatigablo counsel wont boforo the Suprome Court, and asked for & now trial upon the ground “that no official remitfitur hnd beon recoived from the Buprome Court granting the now trial, The Bupremo Court, however, afiirmed the finding of the lower Couct, and fixed the day of execution Dec. 12, 1873, The last offort of lus counsel has boen to obtain a commutation of sentence; but this hias boon refosed, and, with the Exeocu- tive rofusal, vunishes the last gloam of hopo for the doomod man, To-morrow ho must pay tho pounity of his dreadful crimo,—u ecrime all tho more dreadful inasmuch as there was no causo for it. Whatover tho conduct of the daughter may havo been, which produced the soparation botweon Porteot and his wife, that conduct woighed moro heavily upon the hoatt of the wifo than it did upon his. Tho wife was no moro roaponsible for that misconduct than e, und to visit tho wing of the daughter upou the wifo, whom he had driven from him with Liy wrangliug aud throats, was su act of brutal yav- agory. Although justice In Dis case wag long dolayed, It was sure at last, aud to-morrow this muydorer will bo no more, ] Ou tho 10th of Maroh last, & wun nemed Bo- gart wau arrestod in San Fraucigoo, by order of the Bocretaty of the Navy, by a force of marines, aud carried n prisoner to Mare Islend, iu the Lay of San Franclaco, Ho s still a prisoner at that place.

In Aprll, s mouth after hia arrost, he was trled by vourt-martial upon charges for misconduct while ho iad baen in tho navy. The rosult of that trial bus never heen dixclosed ; what the fndlng of the Court was has been a wouret of the Nuvy Deparbmont, Theto lns been no sp- proval or digapproval of tho fluding of the Court, but Bogart bas boen sud s uow w prls- ones &b the Mare Islsnd Navy-Yard, If Lo has beon fonnd guilty of any crimo, tho fact ought to havo hoon Jong sinca mada public, and the sentenco promulgated.

It is proposed by Bogart's frionds fo try and have Congress call upon tho Navy Dopartment for an oxplanation of his mysterious and pro- longod imprisonmont. Tho Bacretary of State says thero is to Lo no swor with Spalu, 'I'ho Spanish Ministor at Wash- Ington says thoro is Lo bo no war. The Cabinats at Washington and Madrid exy there is {0 be no wat. Tho Beorotary of the Navy, who has bean o very warliko son of Noptuno over since the aolzuro of tho Virglulus, reluctantly admits thero is to bo no war; aud, to cap tho climax and make assnrancs doubly suro, the Trosidont omphati- cally afilrms: * Gentlomon, thore will bo no war.” ‘In thd mouths ot o many witnossos thore muat bo truth, and in fact thoy aro the only witnesses compelont to express an opinion, As thore I8 to o no war, therofore, it may not bo improper to inguiro why wo are gotting ready for wnr, If there is mo enomy to fight, why ‘are we Dlustoring, and fuming, and sheking our flats, and wmking our~ selves ridioulous . in the oyos of tho rest of the world?

RICHARD YATES' MEMORY.- The Chicago Tintes, which was the most bitter assailant of Richard Yates durig his life, has become the solf-appointed custodisu of his remaius, It does not requiro a great strotch of memory to reeall tho malignity with whichs it followed him whou alive, the snoers with which it met bis ovory servico whea Governor of this State, and the sensational stories which it sat afloat rogarding him. Now that ho is dead, howover, and at rost, whoro malignity aud sneer and seandal eannot reach him more, the Times suddouly veers about and becomes his apologist aud dofonder. The immediute occasion for this Iy not that the Times is any more charitably dis- posed towards Richard Yotes dead then it was towards Richard Yates living, but bocause the Advance and tho .Advocate and some other religious popers have scen fit to comment upon the fact ihat Mr. Yates was an intemperate man,—a fact which was one of ‘public notorioty, from ouo end of the land to tho other, and which Mr. Yatea himacll did not try to conceal. No religious paper hue evor beon a friod of the Times, aud that papers of thiy clasa should point a moral from Mr. Yates' lifo has stirred up tho bile of the Times to such an oxtent that it hus Loldly scized its sexton’s shovel aud mounted gusrd over the grave. It dofends him as stoutly as it onco assailed him. It pilen epithots upon thom as profusely as it once did upon him. It scems to have anidon that these papers aro body-snutcbers, bont upon broaking into tho cometery, ritling tho grave, and doing somo ascrifegious harm to the body. It will puzzlo most people to discover what the Times is making oll this noise and hullabaloo nbout, or why it is belaboring tho air with such wild fury. It will puzzle most people to dis- covor what tho religious papers havo-eaid which was not said & thouseud times while Mr. Yutes waa living, It wall puzzle most poople still more to comprolioud why the Times should defoud him at oll, excopt upon the hypothesis we have assumed, that it v bound to attack whatever position roligious papers ssmune. It the Times had ovor beon & friend of Mr, Yates whila he was alivo, if it had ovor apoken a good word for him, It it had over sustwiued him politically, socially, or morally, there might be some con- plstoucy in ita preacnl absard attitude., 'he man whom it now defouds it then condemued.

Proteotivo tariff is o gamo that two can play at. Although the United States and the Spanisi-American Statea are the natural con- mercinl allies of. each othor, the intercourse hetween them is very limited. The United States lust yoar had but $115,000,000 of tho 500,000,000 total trade of thoso countries. A total trado of $500,000,000 is emall cnongh for o population which alrondy equaly that of this country whou it entered the Civil War. Our share of this hialf billion i ymaller than it ought to bo. If our exports to the other Spanish- Amoricou countrios equaled those to Cubs, thoy would be $202,500,000. That thoy havo not reached a greator figure in Cuba and elsewhero is duo to the fidelity with which thoso countrios imitato our wsilly protective-tariff system. Wo havo got the oxample of Chinege tarills, and thoy have bottered tho oxamplo. A circular issued last yoar by Mr. Romero, the Mexican Minister of Financo, explaius tho now tariff adopted by the Governmont of that country as follows : Forelgn goads now pay to the Federal Treasury, up- on their importation into the Republic, tho followlng dutiea: Tuuportation duty, 100 por cent ; public works duty, railrond duty, 16 per cent ; internal tran” 0 per cent ; counter-registration duty, 25 per cent ; municipal duty, 3per cont; substituto for tolls, oquivalont to 9 por cent ; oxelso duty, 15.60 por cont export duty on colu, 88 per cont ad valorem, equiv- alent to 25 per cent ; total, 232,50 por ceut, And thig is boasted as an improvement on tho old oxican tariff, ‘The effect of this appalling taxation of 232} per cont,—which makes s borrol of American flour that ought to vbo sold in Moxico at 88 cost $20,— in starving and destroying trade betioen the two countrios, i8 plain enough, The Cuban taril is o much worse that, to get & barrel of flour to Havuua from New York, tho choapest way ia actunlly to send it to Spain and then ro- ahip it. ‘Qhe loss to our morchauts by theso commoercizl snd financial monatrositics which the Blexicans, Cubuns, and other 8panish-Americans, like their more Northerly exemplars, call “‘protoc- tive,” amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars ayour. There has beon a good deal of irrational sniveling in this country about these hostile tar- iffs. But wo certainly have no right to complai for our own tariff is of esactly the same Lind, ‘Wa differ in degroe, but only becauss our pro- tectioniaty huve not been strong-enough to put thoir theories into full practice, au tho Moxioans nud Spaniaxds bave done.
