It is singular that his nomination for tho Chief-Justicoship of the Supreme Court should come just a yoor to a doy aftor his admission to practice in that Court. Ho has been & Republicau sinco the organization of that’ party. Bofore thattime he was s Hoory Clay Whig. The proceedings in bankruptey commenced yesterdey ngainst three woll-known jowelry liouses have no specisl sigaificance in an esti- mato of the general condition of businoes, Thoy aro the result of causes disconnted sev- eral months ago. The stocks of jewelry had beon ordered in the flush of confideuce that immodiately preceded the psnic, and in antici- pation of & lively trado during the winter. The lock-up of money that followed ehortly atter neceesitaied rotronchment on all sides, aud the firat and enmsiest ‘things to cut off wore articles of persomal adorn- ment. The firns which wore soriously crippled during the panic mansged to sustain themeolves with the bhelp of their creditors, whoso interest layin tho same direction, so a8 to reap the benefit of tho holidey trade. Though this wes large, it was not enough to save thoso who had overreached thomselves, Aside from this genoral fact, the competition in this branch of trade has been sbnormal in Chicago, and seversl of the firms have taken risks and in- curred expenses beyond their capitsl and ro- fources: THE BT. LAWRENCE CANALS AND .THE ERIE CANAL, As Jong ago 08 1854 tho jusufliciency of the Frie Canal as the route for tho transportation of Western products to markot was confessed. In that twenty years the Btate of New York has rojected all appeals from within and withont to enlargo that canal; an appeal to reduce the tolls was resisted for many years, and only granted at last after o protrocted strugglo. The troublo in Now York has been that tho State, some years ago, under the lead of o number of local dema- gogues, construeted some dozen or more lateral canals, and made the cost of their construction alien on tho revrnues of tho Erie & Oawego Conal, Tho surplus earnings of the Erie Canal now amount to over £40,000,000; that is, tho Btato has received that much more revenuo from that caunl then it has expended on it. Sinco the construction of these lsteral canals, oll its surplus yevenucs have been con- sumed in making good tho deficiencies in thoir receipts, snd the money that would have sufilced to have doubled tho copacity of the Erie Conal hos boen used by the State for other pur- posen. During 1878, the Stato expended on all tho canals, oxcept the Erie, for ropalrs and management, $1,169,474 more than was recoived from them, The receipts from tho Erle Canal ovor the outlny, was $998,449, or neaily a million of dollars, which sum was wholly avsorbed in paying the doficiencies in tho roceipts of tho other cangle, Evon then tho Btate lost £176,024, At last tho nutborities of Net York scem to hove awakened to the danger which threatens the trade of the West through that State. Tho aceumulated products of the West have sought other outlots, and Montreal, Philadelphia, Port- laud, and Baltimore buve cach built up g trade at the expenso of Now York, The State Comp- troller notifiles the Logielature of tho peril which threatens that trade. In 1878, of tho whole amount of giain reaching New York, at within a fraction of oue-helf was by all-rail. Of tho grain shipped from the lake ports, tho amount delivored to the canals in 1873 was only 80 por cent. Within three years the Canadiav canals will be enlarged from a capacity for vessols of 600 tons to vessels of 1,200 tous. The wholo series of Conadian canals sre but eixty-nine miles long. 1In 1878, there were delivered by that routo at Montreal 18,000,000 bushels of grain, mostly from ports on tho Westorn lakes, When those canals aro enlarged, New York will be in no gon- dition to compete with them. The eunlargement of the Canadiau canals will not only increace their capacity for trade, but witl ainit of a groat reduction in freight, Then tho freight from Chicago to Montreal will bo £3.50 por ton, or about 10 cents o bushel, The aversge rate for tho last soven years of frolght from Chicago to Now York, via tho lakes, New York conals, and Hudson River, including Btato tolls and carriors’ profits, and exclusive of Buitalo rhipping aud tranafor chavgos, Las boon about 87 por tou. Tho average sate from Buffulo to New York by tho canal and river Lms beon in tho somo thme £4.60 for whent oand #4067 for corn por ton, It e not possible or probable that lake freights from Chicago to Buffalo can over e much less than $1.00 per ton, or 4)¢ cents por bushel, This rate, mdded te tho avezage ates oa the Xrlo Oanal, will THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1874 p— e — mako €6.42 on wheat and €6.17 on corn per ton, ogainst tho €360 per ton from Chieago to Mou- treal. Lho immodisto enlargemont of the Erio Canal is, 1 view of this competition, a matter of urgent nocessity ; sloam, 8 & motor, I8 alo fndispensnble to retnin tho trade. Tho Comp- trollor ostimates that, with cortain enlargomonts and tho ueo or steam, reducing the time to 11 or 12 days from Chicago to Now York, the canal may retain tho trado. ‘Tho peoplo of New York may as woll undor- atand at once that trado will follow tho choapest route. Grain for oxport will be as nenr Livor- pool whon at Montreal ns it 13 whon at Now York. At Montreal it {8 put on boord tho steamor ot little cost. In Now York, grain sbipped by canal {8 kopt in" the harbor in the bonts ot hoavy cost, and subjected to taxation and oxtortion by the Whighers' and Monsurers' Associntion that are voxatious and oppresaive. If grain can bo dolivered from Chi~ ongo nt Montrenl at £8.50 por ton, then all that is Intended for oxport will go therain proferenco to paying £0.42 por ton to New York, and 82 moro for harbor charges in that city. In the menntime, Philadelphia is recolving grain from lako ports by rail from Erlo; Portland and Boston are recelving grain for local consump- tion by rafl from Buffalo ; whilo Baltimore is re- coiviug it by all-rail from Chicago. Unless the freights and tolls on the Erio Canalcan be ro- duced so a8 to competo with the 8t, Lawrence routo, the trade by that canal in Western grain must dwindlo to the amount needed to mect tho domostlo consumption, Tho advantages of tho Canadian route aro very obvious. Thero i no breaking of cargo; tho grain is taken from tho lake vossel into eithor stora or into foreign stoamer; thoro {8 always a roturn cargo, bocause ocoan freights to Montreal of Chicago imports aro much less than to Now York, and tho ravages and extortions and the cartage and tho storage of tho New York Cus- tom-Houdo aro all avolded, In overy viow,— oconomy in froight, economy in time, facility in dolug business, amplo capital, and nbsence of tolls, all show it to bo to the'intorest of the West to trade by way of tho St. Lawrence. In the moantimo, tho rovolution in lnke and canal freights producod by the opeving of the enlargedt Conndion conals must hinve sn effect on roilrond freights. At presént, immenso bodies of grain ara sent by Inko to Buffalo, which aro thero put in cars and sent forward in every diroction by rall, The railronds oven in tho summer season can competo with tho Eric Canal. Can they reduce thair rotes to competo with tho Cauvadian canals? It is significant that one-half the grain received in Now York City in 1878 was received by all-rail. Can the railronds still furthor roduco thoir froights? Upon tho completion of the Baltimore & Ohio Railrosd to Ohicago, that city will be about 800 miles distant from here, Thia rond will probably be able to tako graln from Chicago to Baitimore at #8 por ton, which is about the same as the averago of tho past seven yoars from Chicago to Now York by lake, Eric Cenal, aud Hudson River, aod in- cluding the New York harbor oxtortions, If it can do this ab this time, is it possible for that or any other railroad to further reduco its rates to compote with the ‘St. Lawrence route at $8.60 per ton? Tho capacity of the Erio Canal may bo 8o enlarged that, by the use of stoam, that routo may compate with the route to Montreal, but it is very doubtful; so that at present it looks very much as if tho wholo ex- port trade in grain from the lake ports must go to Montreal, and, notwithstanding this possibili- ty has been notorious for many years, the Legis- lature of New York still insista that productsship- ped by tho Erio Canal shiall bo taxed to pay the cost of tho construction of the worthless Iateral canals of that Stato, and the cnlargemont of the Erie Canal muat bo postponed until that debt is paid, ONLY SIXTY-EIGHT MILLIONS. Mr. Cook, of Georgia, hos introduced into the House of Repreeentatives o bill for further de- pleting the Treasury, undor the protonse of rofunding the tax collected from 1863 to 1868 on exported cotton. Hithorto this demand las been made in the form of & payment in green- baeks directly out of the Treasury to tho lold- ers of the tax receipts, Recognizing, however, tho fact that the Governmont has no monoy, the present bill proposes to issue - thirty-year Londs bearing 6 per cent interest, payable in gold, to an amount equal to the whole tax col- lectod. It recitos * that the sovers: States can moro conveniontly snd satisfactorily refund 6aid tox than tho Governwont of the United States,” aud, theroforo, provides that these bonds be issued to the soveral States in which the tax was collected.

Tho arrost of tho turbulent Intornationnle § Now York Oity, and tholr commitment for trial,} hing boon madoe tho subject of dlscussion among the workingmon of Chfeago and other citlos, It will bo woll for thom to remombor that the spirlt of tho law is siratched to its utmost whon work- ingmen mass thomaclves into & mob, and with flags and bannors morch upon the municipal nuthoritios aud besiogo thoir doors with nolsy demonstrations, and seck by tho presenco of an unruly multitude to overawo and browbeat them mto submisslon {o their demands, * Yet ovon this has boen tolerated in almost aevory city of hio United States during the present senson with- out protest, Nothing lLas boen placed in tho way of the workingmen to provent them from dolivering the fullest oxprossion of thelr views, All otber businoss, however im- portant it might be, has boon stopped to listen to thom, snd every effort las been mado not only to rolievo their wants, but also to redress thelr allogod griovances, al- though tho demand has been mado moro than oncoe in & menncing tone. This assurauce, so ofton repeated, ought to convinco them that thoy have nathing to galn by making turbulout demonstrations, and that thoyare oven moro likoly to galn tholr onds by prosenting thoir griovances to tho authorities in s quiet and or- dorly mannor, liko other citizons, after they have hold tholr meotings, nud oxpressod thelr opin- {ons, and mado thoir platforms. Tho working- ingmen of New York, however, chose to follow & different poliey. Thoy formed themsolves into a mob, woll knowing that the bratel aud viclous eloments in the Jower part of the ity would join in with them for the suko of plunder, or for an opportunity to commit deeds of violenco. White the police authorities interposed no obataclo in the way of their ronching tho ear of tha City Govornment and stating their caso inits fulleat extont, theynovertholess adopted suchlawful precautionary mensures nsshould pre- ventany mob violance or injury to lifo and propor- ty. ‘They laid down cortain rules which they had thorightto do, ns guardians of the public peace, and informed the Internattonals, days before- haond, that they must obey thom. Thero was nothing in theso rules which oncroached upon their rights, nothing which intorfored with tho right of free spoech, nothing ‘hich provented them from making tho fullest statoment of their griovances. Notwithstanding this, the working~ mon choso to violate the rules deliberately and defiantly, The result was what they might have oxpected.

All this is in sccordance with the striot opor- ations of justice, and they cannot expect to havo any sympathy, Thoy deliberatoly took tho law into theiv own hauds, with & knowledge of what tho rosult must inevitably bo. At the samo time, it i8 to bo regrotted that the worthless, plotting demagogues, who egged them on to this violence, ndvised them to procure weapons and rosist the authoritics by force, aud rouscd their passions by inflammatory barangues, can- uot bo arrested and punished also. How much longer will it be boforo thelr victims discover that theso worthloss fellows, who talk go loudly about workingmen's rights, who are B0 furious in domanding that workingmoen shull nesert their demands, and, if they are not granted, shall toko what they demand by force, and who sre never visiblo wheu tighting commances,—howloug will itbe be- foroe workingmon discover that theso demagogues are their worst enomies, and that tlhey havo flever yot gained anytbing by following their counsels ? Au important insurence caso was recently de~ aded in Baltimore in tho United States Cowrt, affecting tho rights of married wowmon. The suit was originally brought by the National Life fnauranco Company of Washington against Mrs, Rogulie O. Barry and Horatio L. Whittridge, nnd the smouut at issuo was $5.000, which wus due on g policy of msursuco on the life of John 8, Barry, who dicd ou tho 18th of March, 1873, In August, 1871, Mrs, Barry signed an assign- mont of tho policies to William II. Broue, who turned them over to Whiltridge for the benefit of his ereditors, to sccuro cortain monoy which Darry was owing to Brune, Tho mmount duo upon the policy in dispute was deposited with the Court, Whittridgo cloiming that under the assignment to Bruno it was a valid sssigument of all tho policles upon Barry's life, while on the other hand Mis. Bary claims it was void. Tho Court decided that tho fund belonged to Mrs, Barry, both beeanse tho Lusbend did not join in the assignment and be- cauge the assignment was not the free and voluutary act of Mys. Barry, but wne obtained Irom her by fraud upon tho part of her husband.
