Tho pinc-land ownora prosent ropresonted 930,000, 000 of capital, end 8,000,000 acres of pino lnds, Ono object of the Association was stated to bo rosistanco to the unjust taxation imposod upon non-resident pino-land owners. ‘Tho draft of tho articlos of nusociation hiag ot yob boen com- ploted. Tho Towa Railrond bill has beon still further modified by tho State Sonnte. 'Tho clauses added by tho llouse, roquiring raitroad companics to bl cara for other porsons, and to kaep their schedules of rates posted up in tho'depots, have been elidod. It is not likely that tho railrond companies would object Lo tho Intter rogulation, which the courts hnve hold it is their duty to ob- serve under oxisting laws, The Chicago Board of Trado is not alono in potitioniug the Stato Logislaturo for somo material change in tho Railrond law. Memoriala to tho same offect wero prosented yostorday from tho citizens of Chinmpaign, Logan, Morgan, Jersoy, and Woodfoxd Counties. 'Tho Bonrd of Railroad and Warehiouse Commissionors aro re- ported to bo in favor of the modifleations re- quested by tho Board of Trado. Tho closing bours of the Wisconsin Lioginla- ture huve boen disturbed by o peculinrly rovolt- Ing cago of bribery, An Insuranco bill bolug beforo tho Sonato, one of its members roquested loavo to stato that $100 bad beon offerad for his voto against tho bill by tho Ailwaukeo Mutual Lifo Insuranco Compony. Intonso oxcitoment is said to have followed this sunouncement. ‘There was & panio In the Sonatorial markot at such a Jow quotation. A committeo was at onco appointed to iuvestigate the matter. A " Policy-Dealer "—one of that dangerous class which has brought gambling within the veach of tho poorer classos—writes boastingly to Tur Tninuse that its exposures will be of no avail, becsuso the polico bavo given tho assur- snce that the policy-shops shnll not be disturbed nsloug ns thoy aro not disorderly. Suporin- tendent Relm owes it to tho public to say whothor this is the fact or not. If it is not a fact, Mr. Rehm should act ; if it i, the Board of Polico owo it to the public to remove Mr. Rehm. In thelr report on tho Soldiors' Orphans' Homo, of this State, the Sonate Special Com- mitteo approve the action ef tho Trustees in re- taining inmates over 14 years of ago.

In this way $2,200 was saved in salarios in 1878, and & grester saving 18 ex- poctod in 1874 Mr. Beok has roplied to Mr. Garfleld's recent tpeech on tho estimates and appropriatious for tho curront yoar. In contradiction of the caleu- lations of tho Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, ho states that tho appropris- tions will exceod tho catimatos by $15,000,000. Ho compnres tho appropriations for the regular service of tho Governmont in 1871-2 with thoso for last year, aud shows an incronso in one yoor of $90,000,000, Ile intimates that Dawos corrected his gtatomonts about the dofielt that w8 upon tho Treasury for the sake of the party, snd ronows his assortion of tho othor day that Daswos was right at tirst Mr. Proctor visited the Academy of Scioncos yostorday aftornoon, ITe was introduced to the Association by its Prosident, Dr. .

It liopos to doprive the Oppost- tlon in Paris of 40,000 votes by the disfrauchigo- mont of every ono who has over beon punished in tho eriminal courts, Auothor schoma to dis~ arm its enomios was developed in tho Assembly yosterday in tho prosontationof o chorgo againat Gambotta of having sacriflced tho nationol do- fonga to political deslgns whilo hio was Diotator. "Who Right will attempt to havo tho chargo acted upou at onco, in tho ovidont hopo of bringing disgraco upon tho groat radical. Now Hampshiro Democrats hold a glorifleation meeting in Nashua last ovening ovor the victory which they belioved they had gained, but the latost roturns this morving do not scom to auatain their oxultation. Although tho Repub- licans aro ghown to Lnve losb 1,002 votos in 163 towns, tho Domocratio candidato doos not appear to havae tho majority of all tho votos cast, which, in Now Hampshico, i8 necessary to au oloction. In 181 towns, the *‘horny-handed” MeCutching got 22,8214 Weston, 23,108; Blacke mor, 1,207. 'This is loss than n majority for Weston, and, if the rostof the vote doos not disturb theso proportions, the eloction will go, a8 was oxpocted, to tho Logislature. Not sated with tho feast of corruption offered it by tho Jayno business, and the Sanborn cou- iracts, and the District investigation, tho Mouse of Represoutatives Las called on tho Sccratary of War for nll the papers in tho court-martial of Capt. Hurtt, an Ohioan Quartermastor, who ‘made his purchases during tho War for the solo purpose of cheating the Govorement and on- riching a sing, of which bo was one, and Honry D. Cooke aud his brother, Pitt Cooke, wore othors. Some of this ring had groat influence with Becrotary Stanton, and in some way tho court-mnrtinl was suspended, nnd the papors hiddon away in tho archives of the War Dopart~ ment, Their publication is awaited with interost. The proceedings of tho Baptist Ecclosinstical Council which convened yesterdsy to try tho Rev. Florence McCarthy woro a sorry oxhibition of tho Christian virtues, and will add to tho dis- reputo broughtupon tho profossors of roligion by the recont seandalous Lpiscopal Convention at Milwaukeo, Throughout, on both sides, thora is ovidont nothing better thau bigotry or indis- cretion which reaches to blackguardism, The Council has concluded the trial of the firat four charges, and hes adjourned till Thursdsy to consider somo ndditional specifieations which have boon medo agaiust tho sccused. Mr. McCarthy medo a vigorous protest in his own stylo aguinst tho injustice which rofused him couneel, or » knowledgs of the chargos, or time in which to prepare himself for dofonso. Somo of the testimony and allegations presented aro unfit for public learing, ond it & great pity that the church canuot sottle a case liko this without anaking so disagroeable and diegraceful an exhibition, It is singu lar that it should be impossiblo to run the probo into suy public rascality without making Butler ory. Lo morost alluslon, yes- terday, by Mr. Beck to tho Sanborn contracts turned the Iouse into an arena for the Massa~ chuaetts gladiator. Thero was no roferenco to Butler ; it was Gon. Garfield whom Mr, Beck had gasunliy charged with huving engincored tho contract law through Congress. Bat though he was not named, Butler was ovidently hurt some- whore, and was instantly or his foct donying thnt Lo hed engineered the Inw through, or that he had been Sanborn’s attorney, and claiming thut tho law was admirable in overy rospoct. Ho wanted to know, bofore ho would condomn it, if any man lad beon made to pay taxes that he did not owo,—an inquiry that will only amuse thoso who ko, and Butlor is smang thom, that tho cor- ruption and infamy of theso contracts was in the manner of collecting taxes that wero lawfully dne, and could casily bave boen secured by tho propor revouuo oflicials. Butlor spoko with great hoat and nt covsiderable length, but did not cscapo somo of the punishment to which he oxposed himself, Mr, Dawes oxpressod his sur- priso that Butler, who cared nothing for tho nowspapors, should havo been driven by them to make this inopportuno dofemso of himselt, AMr. Foster, on whoso motion tho Sanborn roport was got from the Secrotary of tho Trossury, showod grent presencoof mind in dealing with the Essox bully. He snid, smong’ othor things, that tho charctor of the system of tax-contracts was illustratod by that of two of tho contractors, Hawlay, of Now York, and Simmons, of Boston, The formor had been sout to tho Ponitentiary and tho latter Butlor had made Collostor of Boston, Mr. Fostor belioves that throe-fonrths of tho smount collooted by Sauborn & Co. would have boon got by tho regular Internal revouno ofli- cialg, aod 60 per cont saved. In tho explana- tion which Mr. Qarflold gavo of the mannor in which tho law hiad been pussad, ho mado it evi- dont (bat its cvactmont was duo to the per- sistonco of tho Souate, and waa in spito of the opposition of the IHouso Appropriations Com- mitteo. Tho fact thay comparatively few mon can duliberately sit down and olzboratoly skotoh out a thoory of doath and its consoquoncos, induces society to pronounce ingaue the man who ean. Coroners’ jurics, thoreforo, bring iu, with solemu rogularily, vordicts of “suleldo whilo suffering from & fit of tomporary iunanity " upon thoso who take their lives and deaths into their own Lauds, and exchange ono for the other ata daliberate vonturo. Many sulcides areundoubt- odly ingane at tho timo of the commission of the act, But can solf-dostruction bo rogarded ns prima facie evidence of montal weakucss? Au Tudiauspolls paper gives tho partionlars of & caso of sulcide which is unique fu its deliberato- noss, ond holds tho quostion open. Hugh McQannon, & man of middle age, living at Yranklin, Ind, bad been unsuccossful in business, and saw no prospoot of obtaining moro than & moro hand-to-mouth sub- elatonco. Il lino of rensoning s obvious, What good to the world could he accomplieh, when overy effort of his could not place himself beyond the wants of a day ? And what compen- sation did ho obtalu for Lfs labor othor than tho moro protraction of lifo and oonsequont nooos- proposed to oxchongo lifo for donth on spocu~ Intion. 'This view of tho mntter ia sustained by the circumstances of his donth. Ifo drossed him- #olf for fntorment, bound himsolf in a chair, o that whon death ocourred hie should not fall aud smear himeolf with blood; sproad aprons and towels over his clothing to protect them from boing salled, wroto two or thrao notes dispos- ing of s offcots, and deliborately blow n holo iv his head. This doos not necossarily imply insanity, It looks somothing Nko & bold spocu~ Iation, in which tho speculntor dohboratoly staked all bo possossed ngafust tho boundloss vossibilitios of the futura, THE PROVISION TRADE. That tho pork and provision trado of this city b rocelved sorious injury by xonson of the ehip- mont of soured monty, or monte in & condition to bocomo sour, will, wo think, bo catablishod by invostigalion, if an investigation is mado by tho Board of Wrado or othor rosponsiblo body. ‘Whether this hng rosulted from au imporfeot sys- tem of inspection, or from an attompt to handlo the entiro hog orop of tho Northwost with inado- quato facilities, or from both combined, wo do not undortako to deoldo. Wo assumo that any porson who has suffered loss from the purchase of tninted ments ab the prico of sound snd woll cured, can got his monoy back withous litigation ; but that is not all that noeds to bo enid. The reputation of Clicsgo ments {8 world-wide, and this roputation is s larger snd moro important part of ourcapital than tho Stock-Yards, packing- Louses, aud smoko-honsescombined, It should, thorofore, bo guarded moro joalously. Tho writer whose communication in Inst Sat- urdny’s TninuNe mado such o hubbub among tho provision mon, furnishos anather fhis morn- ing over his own signature. Wo judge from tho tenor of 1t that ha is not only ready for iu- voatigation, but dotormined Lo havoit. Wo pro- poso to nesist hun in gotting it. It is oithor true, or {t ia not truc, that buyers of meats in Daltimore, Philadelphla, Montreal, and othor citics, have been imposed upon in this matter, 1f it is true, then tho roputation of Chicago has been damaged by tho fact, and not by the pub- Heation of it. It itis nottruo, then thoso buy- ors havo slandored us, and deserve to bo ox- posed. Wo rogrot to notico that momo of the gentlomon who wero g0 anxious to got the namo of the writer of tho article in Tnz Triuxs showed no alncrity to investigato after thoy had obtained what they wanted, THE CUSTOI-HOUSE SPIES. Tho Committeo of Ways and Moaus of tho Houso of Representatives st Washington have beon for soveral weels investigating tho ques- tion of Qustom-ITouso oxtortions, committed undor the ganction of law and for tho benefit of iho Custom-Houso ofiicers, This systom1s the outgrowth of tho law providing that one-balf of all penalties ehall bo divided between tho Collee- tor, Naval Oflicer, Survoyor, and informor. Tho Governmont receives tho othor Ialf. The plan of distribution is shown by tho followlng, takon from u long list of actual casos Valuo of goods eefze Share of Guvernmen shure of informer. Collcctor... Naval Oflicer. Surveyor,., Costa of caur ‘When it is understood that tho Trossury Do- pertment concedes tho various lawe regulating imports to bo so complicated and intricato that nothiug is more likely than for an importor, with thie most honest intontions, to viclate somo pro- vision, thoreby fnvolving tho confiscation of an outiro cargo, the enormity of theso prococdings will bo moro apparent. Thus, an importer pro- sonts tho invoico, mado out in Turopo, at tho Custom-Houso. This lnvoico 18 examin- ol by two difforont dopartments of the Custom-House, which are authorized by law to correct orrors of any kind in the valuations or other dotails of tho invoicos. The goods aro then critically oxamined and comparod with the doscriptions given in the invoice, snd on tho involco valuation, as correctod and examined by all theso officors, tho importor paya tho duty. If, after sll theso precautions, there bo sn orror in the invoico; if, in computing the foreign cost of tho goods, thio item of cartage bo omitted, or if the goods bo bought Jan. 1 and not shipped until March 1, and eny inerease in the curront prico of tho goods be not added to the invoico ; then, in such case, tho entiro importation, worth it may bo $600,000, becomes forfeit, though tho loss of revenuo to the Dopartment may not ex- coed five or ton dollars. In May, 1869, one Goorge B. Jayao was ap- pointed, through some local Influenco, Special Agont of tho Trensury Department, and sincoe thon he hasboon using his official position to barass aud oppress the importors in tho most infamous manner. The case against Phelps, Dodgo & Co,, of Now York, year ago, and tho more rocent coso of Jordan, Marsh & Co., of Boaton, finally arrestod tho attention of Con- groes, and tho Becrotary of tho Treasury was torced to recommond tho abolition of the moiety system. Tho moiety system is wrong bocause it holds out to the soveral departmonts of tho Custom-Houso the temptation to permit orrora and defeets in tho invoicos to pass uncorrected, in ordor that, subsequently, the entiro importas tion may bo contiecated, and the value thoreof distributed among those whose business it is to prevent the errors. Jayne's practice bas been to get the informa- tion of technical orrors or defects in involcos of importations, and thou, by & secrot statoment boforo o court, obtain an order for the solzuro of all tho books aud papers of tho morchants, and romoval of them from their stores, Tho goods wero nlgo seized it possible, In nivo casioe out of ten, this proceeding in fatal to tho Lusiness of tho ncoused person. The alloged fiauds on the Tronsury may not excod porhaps §100, but tho amount of goods forfalted, or pen- alties inourred, mny roach to a million or sov- eral millions of dollare, Pondiug the solzure of the books, tho businoss of tho merohant s closed. The whole proceeding is summary and arbitrary, In tho caso of Pholps, Dodge & Co., tho ponalties demanded amounted to soveral sovorsl milllous of dolurs, on sn alle- gation that, during eeveral years' importa- tions, exceeding two millions or moro each yoar, thero had been a loss of 2000 of rovenuo, This was the charge. Finally the fym waa rolossod upon paylng §971,000, of which tho informor, Jayno, aod tho Customs officors rocoived $185,000, At the boginning of the present session, tho Committes on Ways and Monug, on motion of Mr, Dawa, called for a hist of tho Custom-ITouse woizures which had been compromiged. The roport has boen furnished to Congross, It shows that In New York tha solzures woro over £4,000,000; that tho whole amount of the dutios claimed wero only 223, 000; the court costa woro £234,000; tho Col- loctors got £407,000; tho Naval Ofllcers got 9024,000; tho Burveyors, $301,000; tho sploy and Informers, §716,000, In Boston, the mor- #iky far Iabor ? Lvidontly nono, he argued, sud | cuanis wore plundored out of €643,000, while tho wholo claim for duties unpaid was but £23,000. During the examinntion of tho mattor, this man Joyno, ropresonting tho whola body of splos and {uformers, appeared beforo tho Gom- mitteo, and, undor an iden that tho meoting wne socrot, denounced the morchants of Now York, Boston, and olsowhors am hobitunl porjurors, ongnged in Lnbitunl frauds upon the Govern- mont, Bo violent wore his donuncintions that the Commitico nt onco ordered that tho investign- tlon should bo publio, and that the aceused mor- chinnts should have an opportunity to be enrd, Juyno lustantly realgued his oftico, Thomorchants attondod tn dargo bodios, and thoy have boeu ox- posing tho robberies, blackmailing, and oxtor- tlon of tho spy syatom, and cepecially Jayno's sharo of the oporations. Thelr disclosures ox- hibic o stato of affairs unlmown in any civilized couniry, and leave no doubt that tho Committeo will unanimously report s bill abolishing the moloty systom. This investigntion, ko that in tho caso of Sanborn, hns disclosed that tho friend and counsol, if not tho pnrtner, of theso spics and ixformers Is Bon Butlor, of Massachurotts, who, ‘with all hig :luxwrhy, will bardly bo able to provent tho passage of a bill sweoping tho whole systom out of existonco, EMPEROR AND POPE. The Emporor Willinm has hitherto nd seant sympathy from friends of freedom, Forced lo choosp botween ccclesinstical and imperial despotism, thoy havo naturally proferred tho lattor ay tho Jees of two ovils, TFarther than this thoy would not go. Despite tho lack of outside support and tho danger of incurring outsido onmuty, the Emperor has gono steadily on, ar- rosting priosts, oxpolling Jesuits, olosing relig- ous gchools, and seattoring resulting mobs at tho point of tho bayouet, Il has this fact in lis favor, that laws aro largoly matters of latitudo. One country’s meat might bo enother’s poigon. Tho cast-iron systom of Govornmont would not do biere, but that docs uot prove its inapplica- bility everywheve. 'The Emperor's letier to Earl Ruesel!, in roply to the London rogolutions of sympathy With tho Prussisn Government, contains ono mustorly sentence. The writor says 1t 1a Incumbent on mo to bo thie leader of my peoplo in o strugelo motutained through centuries pust by German Emporors of carller doys againat s powertho domiuation of which lins in no countiy of the world been compatible with the frocdom aud welfaro of no- tions$ n power which, if victorious In our days, would fmperi], not o Germauy aloue, tho blessings of rof- ormation, liberty of consclouce, aud authority of law, The indictment is well put. Tho Roman Cath- olio Cliurch, as a wholo, i o dend-weight on tho whools of civilization, It punishos inquiry as o gin, It trains its pupils in tho bigotry of by- gono yoars, It ig tho deadly enemy of freo spocel, froo pross, frea thought. It teachos that tho citizen's first duty is to a foreign poten- tate. It is tho chief stumbling-block 1 tho path of progress, All this is truo, dospito the many noblo men and women who havo dovoted thelr livos to the acrvico of the Alother Chureh. That Church rolaing, in tho niuctocnth century, the habits and modes of thought of tho sixteonth, Supposo this great organization should becomo tho dominant power In Prussi, in Spain, in Frauce, inEoglend, and in Amorica. In every case tho State would become a mere adjunct to the Church. This is the theory of Romannism, In Prussis, tho liberal laws of tho last thicty yonrs would bo repealed, Protestant worship would bo put under boavy restrictions, Cathol- icism would bo taught I all the schools, taxos for tho support of the Church wauld be levied on all tho people. In Spain, Don Carlos would be- como King and Dospot. Tho eourtry would ro- 1apso into tho barbarism that bas boen creoping avor it over since Catholicism finally triumphed over tho Moors. In Frauco, Hoenry V. would fling tho white flag of tho Bourbous from tho palace-towers of Paris and Versnilles, In En< gland, tho domaing that Henry VIIL, toro from tho Church’s grasp would be scized again. in this country, our public-school system, the cor- uor-atono of our prosperity, would bo instantly dostroyed. In ench country, the Church would suppress, to tho uttormost extent of Lor power, tho tonching of any creod except its own, tho giviug of any ingtruction unflayored with Roman- 1nm, independent sclentific roscnrel, froo thought, and freo speech, Those who think this pleture overdrawn can find its very counterpart in the Romo of four yonrs ago, when the Popo was mastor of tho city. Tho struggle of centuries to which tho Em- porot rofers in Lis letter has had ono culmina- tion, and bids fair to bave anothor. In 1077, Tonry IV. of Gormany stood for threo days by tho costle of Canosen, barofaoted aud clad in bair-cloth, praging tho proud Pontiff who had excommunicated him and so drivon Lim from Lis throno to pardon his sins, Now William I. of Gormany bas virtuslly driven Gregory VIL's successor from lis tomporal throuo, and perhaps can, if he chooses to do 80, namo tho successor to Pius IX. The tables are turned, with a vongeance. POLITICAL PRAYING. Itfaalways au ungraclous duty to criticlso a prayer, and tho occasions aro rare whon such o duty becomes nocessary. Most men in making their appeals to the Deity have a realizing scuso of tho solomnity of the occasion and the gon- eral charactor of o prayer, from the model which has been given for their guidance in Holy Writ, and confine themselyes within the bounds of rovorential proprioty, Thatthere are men, how- evor, who do not, is evidont from the remarkable appeals to tho Throne of Graco which have boon mudoof late in the Somate Chamber of the United States, and which should Lave mot with sovero rebuke from the Senato, It is not tho Alrst timo that the Chaplain of the Sonnto has appeared in a partisan porformauco of his sol- emn function, and sought to use prayer a8 a ve- Liclo of political proselytism and as n seveen bo- twoen politieal corruption aud popular indigua- tion.
