The Mayor of Cincinatl Les beon unani- mously requested by the Common Council of that city to prohibit the women from continwng thielr orusado against the saloon-keepers.

Myra Clark Gaines' persistence in the pur- sult of tho property sho claims in Now Orleans grows warmer with each successive disappoint- ment, Every rosort to litigation having failed, sho has brought ber claims bofora Congress, whero they are to bo cousidored by the Commit- teo on Private Loand Claims. Our Springfield corrospondont this morning rotails some of the gossip of the Stute Copital regarding tho next Congressioval campaign fn the Fourth, Fifth, Sixih, and Seventh Districts, All tho interested partics appear to bo consid- orably perplexed ovor the uncertainty of things polities, 8o long as the strength of the Farmors® Movement remoins unteated.

In the First District of Towa It is understood that Goorgo W. McCrary and Jolin I[. Gear will bo candidates for the regular Republican nomi- notion for Congross, nnd that the issue botween thom (insido the party) will bo on tho question of powor, which McCrary's bill declares to bo solo)y in Congress, to rogulato railrund tariffs, Mr. Genr was the Spoaker in tho Iowa Legislaturo this year, and ho tnkos the nogative to Me- Crary's affirmative. Tho Burlington Qazelle saya *“it will bo o sharp contost.” There was o small Anti-Monopoly majority Iu the vote of {ho District for Goveraor, Inst year, agalnst Mo Crary's 4,200 majority in 1872, and Gear takos the Anti-Mouopoly side of the quostion, in hopes, perbaps, to win back some of the siray- ing voters. Tho passage of tho bill to prevent the liconsing of prostitution is creditable to the good judg- ment of the Stato Logislaturo. Tho oxperienco of this systom, wherover it Las boon adopted, shows very conclusively that its inovitable tond- ency is not ouly bad from a moral point of view, a8 boiug n compromiso with and logal vecognition of ovil, but it hos beon found to incresse the very evil it secks to rogulato. Under such cir- cumstances, tho Leglslature has dono wisoly to suppross any possibility of stablishing it in this Stato. Chicago has spacial renson to rojoico that the efforts of a fowv unthinking officials con- ncoted with tho Boards of L'olico and Haalth, tn folat tho licenso Bystem upon this community, sre thue renderad of no avail. An omergonoy clause is attachod to tho bill, and thus puts the probibition In forco at once. The Illinois Houso of Representatives dolib- eratoly dodgod its duty in regard to tho State Printing yesterdsy. Instend of passing upon cithor of thé reports of tho Printing Commit- too, which woro ealled up by Mr. Bradwall, it posaed an unmeaning and purposelees substituto offored by Alr.

Tho.interests of the State could bo protected in s much shorter way, a8 recommonded by Mr. Bradwoll, who wants the fraudnlent contracts anuulled, cud s suflicient sum deducted from tho moncy duec tho con- tractors to roimburse the Stato.for thefr past ovorcharges. Sonator Shorman’s well-meant compromisa bill has thrown tho Senate into a groater mud- dlo than over on the finaucial question, A most bowilderiug variety of amendmonts are now ponding to the original proposition to fix tho legal-tender curroncy at $382,000,000, All day yosterday was spent.in sltering, withdraw- ing, and adding to these, and no voto wus reached. Souator Mortili made & vain attompt to havo the Seorotury of tho Treasury forbidden to increaso . tho public dobt by buying bonds ubove par. He proposes to take no further part in the Bedlumite proceoding, but to sit still andsoe whatkind of o bill the majovity will got up —a quicscent and contemplative attitude which most of hiy fellow-countrymen have nlready susumed, Senator Forry, with a simplicity worthy of Lis youthful days, declared tuat ho had every confidouce in the Bacre- tary of the Treasury, and thought e might bo loft to distribufe the momey ut his digeration, Thero is hidden herein abold solution of this whole curronoy problum. Becrotary Rich- srdeon is on honest man, aud has bad a large publicoxperience,~he iy an ox-Judgeof Probate, —lot Congrass give him control of tho priutiug- press, with pormitsion to distributo mouey at his discrotion to overy Western sud Southern man who wunts his private resources inflated. 8o far, the Cougrogational Conneil has ateadily adhered to thoimpersonal questions that brought it together; but, outside, facts of quite anothior unturo ate doveloping. Whothor these two lins are convergiug does not apponr ; if thoy ave, tho public grood for sousations is likely to be well fod. Firat, 8 to tho Oouncil: That body yesterdny, in scorot sossion, took au informal voto on four of the questions before it, and tho result showed that the majorily condemuod the notion of Plymouth Church fn regmd to ullowing Mr, Tilton to withdraw, and lu effaciug his uame fromits rolls of membership, The wider and more important question of continulog fellowship with the churoh was lett undecided, Noxt, In regard to' the othor matter: Au ox- traordiunry- lotter from Ar, Tilton was for- wardod yostorday elinultaneously to the Counctl and the duily pupors, 'The formor rofused to Yo- celvait§ thalattor woro evidontly ouly too glad to print it. It rolates to two muttors, tho tormina- tion of lus conncction with thaPlymouth Church, and the chargos ho ig said to have mado against My, Beocher.

This ia noarly as bad 08 the epectaclo of Butlor, Grant, Logan; Comeron, Oarpenter, et al., sitting in the high places of tho Ropublican party, and declaring Charlos Bumnor not to be 8 truo Ropublican, It will readily occur to original Republicans that *“the progrossivo spirit of tho party " of 1818, intonsified into a moro “progressivo epirit™ by the Drod Scott decision of 1856, was something entiroly unlike that “progrossivo spirit” tho Grant-Butlor ‘morcouarics aro talking about. . THE M’CRARY BILL, The Houso of Roprosontatives on Thursday, by & voto of 121 to 116, presed tho bill originally framed by Mr, McCrary, of Iows, authorizing tho President to appoint o Bonrd of hino Rail- rond Commissioners, who are to ascortain and declaro what ara fair and ronsouablo ratea for the transportation of froight and passengors moved from ono Stato into or through auothior, This Board 18 to declare such rates for each and every road doing through business or engaged in *commorco botween tho Btates,” Tho bill has many dotails, but this is its gencral purposo. We think tho bill i a mistake, and that those who will suffer most by it are the farmers of the Wostern Btates. Thero has never been sny serious complaint of tho ratos upon through freighta from tho West to the Atlantic. It has beon no uncommon thing for grain to be moved from points on the Misslesippi River 1,200 miles to New York at tho rate of one cent por ton per mile, and it is not hkely that any Railrond Commission will over fix tho rate for that distance at a8 low s figuro a8 now provails. The troublo has all beon coucornivg local rates,—the rates from tho place of growth to the firat market or cntropot whete tho product could bo sold. Tlo man living from 400 to 600 miles from Chicngo could always have his grain delivered hore for about the same prico 48 was domanded of the man living within o dis- tauce of 200 miles, Tho man at Council Bluffs, Kouens City, Town City, Davenport, or Clucago, sonding grain to Now Yoik, or Philadelphia, or DBallimoro, uever felt tho sevority of railroad ox- nctions aa did the multitude living ot interme- diato stations, who biad to sond their grain to the nonrest market, whoreit could be sold and thence shipped to the 2ast. It is roliof from this local extortion that tho peoplo of the Weetorn Btatea Liava been socking. 1t is o ottled thing that no Western producta will bo sent to the Eaat by rail unless the rate of transportation, allowing for ‘timo and all other similar considerations, is as cheap as the samo transportation can bo secured by water. ‘Wo have Now Yorls, Philadelpbia, and Baltimore seeking (his business by competing linos of rail- way. Intimo thore will bo other competing lines, ‘What rates shall this Natlonal Railroad Commis- sion fix for freights from Pennsylvania and Now Jersey to Now York? What from Ohio? What from Alichigan and Indinus, and what from Ilki- nois, Wisconsin, Mionesots, Iows, and Kansas? Shall this Commission dllow the Penusylvanin Roilroad o rate supposed to .bo reason- able for the local trafllo botwoen Harris- burg to. Jersey City, and then extend that rate per mile and per ton west to tho Missouri River? Take tho rato from Syracuso or Harristurg to New York or Phila- delphia, If the Commission fix' tho rate for transportation botwoen those poiuts at ang- thing like o fair aud rensonable rato, and thou oxtend that rate westward to tho Missfssippl Rivor and Mesouri River, theu, if tho law is really ouforcod, the Western States will bo as effectunlly cut off from the Eastern market as if there wore no railroads at all, Freights on grain por 100 pounds by rail from Chicngo now etand ; ToBoston, 45 conts ; to New Yorlk, 40conts, Philodelphia and Baltimors, 35 conts. Now, what rates shall the Commission fix per 100 pouuds botweon. Now York and Albauy? Put. ting it even nslow as 10 cents per 100 pounds, and churging pro rata por mile from Now York to Chicago, what would bo the ralo from this ety to Now York or Boaton? What would it be from Bt, Paul, Council Bluffs, La Crosse, Duven- port, Dubuquo, or Kausas City? Compared with such & rate, the existing local rates in tho West which have caused so much complaint would seem merciful. It will bo fdle to sav that the people of Ponn- eylvanin, New Jersey, Westorn New York, or Ohio will quietly submit to pay local rates on freights pasaing from one of these States to ‘the other, and permit the people of Indiaus, Illinofs, Kauens, aua Minnesota to have thar freight houled at logs than proportionate rates, 'hey wlll submit to nothing ot the kind, and oventu- ally we will havo a statutory rate per milo for the vovoral classes of froight pasalng betwoon the soveral Statos, and whou this is dono it will cost $1.60 per buskol to baul grain irom Chicago to Now York, aud so much per milein addition fiomall poluts furthor Weat, There can bo but one outcomo to any such attempt by Congroes torogulate the rato of froights ontho great through lines. The Btates noarer the seaboard will rofuse to pay moro por ton per mile than Is oharged for longer diatsuces, and the present compuratively low rates on long distancos will bo lovoled up to & poiut that will rula the West entirely, The furmors and stook-ratsers In tho Statos of Noew York, Penn- sylvania, sud Virginia will rojoice at the passage of o luw which wiil oftectuslly cut off Westorn compedtion and doubio the valueof the produc- tious closo to the murket, Itnowcostabuta frao- tion moro, it anything, tosond cattleaudhoga from Chicago to tho seabonvd than §t doos from Weut- orn Now York and Pennsylvania, Now 1t tho ratos por mile are to bo equalizod, and the eame rote per milu is to be charged from all poiuts, the Weus will Lo able to aeud no more gralu, pros ) vislons, orJive-stook by rail to tho Enatern mar- kot uutl all tho Enstorn looal supply ks boon gold at tho highost pricos. This bill was voted for in tho Houso by the Waostorn mombers gonorally under a species of idiotlo torror. Whilo thoy ostonsibly voted in tho interesls of tho farmers, thoy Linvo, {n faot, voted to doprive thotr own seotion of tho groat ndvantage of low xatos on through froights, and to cut thom off from tho use of rallronds at nll, The ontiro benofis of tho bill will fnuro to tho farmors and stook-raisors of the sonboard Statos at the oxponeo of tho Woat, THE TEMPERANCE ORUSADE, ‘Wo publish this morning tho last of a series of lottora from our spocial corrospandent who ‘was sont through Northorn Indiuns and Ohto to oblaln positive information ns to the work sud rosults of the tomporanco agitation In thosa distriots, The conclusions renched from obsor~ vations mado in s large number of placcs—vile 10gos, towns, and citlos—may be briefly summod up as followa: As a moral ngent in directing tho attontion of all classos to the gonoral and lne montablo provalonco of intomperance in the country ot Inrgo; in eupprossing somo of tho vilo plncos of publioresortin small towns, and rendoring thom odious to the commuaity ; and in polntedly illustraling onca moro the fact that logielation msy be mado so severe as to dofont itolf, tho Woman's Tomperance Crusado Lis boou entirely successful.

Jaw of that Stato s, and turned tholr- attention to tho su- porlonity of rojtrictivo moasures. Porbaps i, in thoso enlightondd days, & closor atudy wora glven to the Divino economy, thore would be no excuse for sach suddon movomonts. It hiay boen said that vices rro oxaggoratel forms of virwues; it is certain that ovil exists in the wotld, that it can bo restrained only by nat- ural ponalties and the prevalonce of good, and that tho Beriplural personifioation of ovil is represented a8 bouad with fotters, not snnibi- Inted. If extromists of all classca will accapt tho true lessonl of tho Woman'a Movement of 1874, its valuovill bo fonud to havo vastly ex- ceoded tho esfimato put upon it by the most snoguine pupportors. ! : 'WISCONSIN POLITIOS, Ono of thojtrawe whioh show tho way the wind is blowitgis tho letter of the Hon, J.

In 170, tho Ropublicsn. mejority in the District wn‘i 2,346 in 1871 it was 2,126; in 1872 Barbor catrled it by 3,306 ovor tho Hon. Allon Warden (Libgal Ropublican); but last fall Gov.

It is mot swrising, thereforo, under existing cireumstances, that 8o intelligent and discreet n politictan as Mr, Barber should geize upon the first plank that floatod past to got ashore from o ship that is already water-logged, and cortain to wpeedily sink out of sight, Two of tho countios in his Dietrlot that horstofore wore as unvarying in their majoritios for tho Republican ticket aa: the sun in his dnily course—Groon and Rich- Iand—sout Reformers to the BStets Sonate, and his own County of Graat sont threo Re- formers and one Mepublican to the Assombly, Tho outlook is not at all oncour- sglng for the Republican candidate, whoover he may bo, and Mr. Barbor Las wisely determined totakein eall before the squall strikes him, Tho coming event of this yoar has cast ite shadow before, and thoso who are not willfully blind have alrendy percelved it.

FARMERS AND FREE-TRADE, During the year ondiny Bopt. 80, 1872, tho Now York Contral, the Erio, and the Michigan South- eru & Lalo Blioro Railronds spont in ropala of track trifie moro than 20 per cent of thoir total froight cxponaos. As thoso Inttor amonnted to $28,006,881, tho cost of track ropairs was $5,781,176. This samo porcentago provails in sovoral otbor railronds, and is probably & fuir averago. It thus appears that one-fifth the cost of trausportation i duoe to the cxpenso of re- placing worn-out rails. Tnero is an easy way to savo on this item, Cut down tho tarim! The datles on iron ralls vary from 3034 to 893¢ por cont, and on steol rails from 387 to 45 por cent. Government during the last financial yoar was §6,681,623. Tho nmount of duty paid the Peun- sylvania monopolists duriug tho same year was something enormous. All of itultimately comes out of tho pockets of tho shippers of freight. Taking tho threo roads alrendy mentionod, and allowing that the cost of new rails was only three-fourths of the item of track ropairs, wo find that thoy paid in one yoar for the rails used to relay their tracks tho sum of 94,835,882, If wo copeider that the duty averaged only 95 por cont, it nmounted to $1,124,183, This, it should be romomberod, ia an anoual charge, It wmust be yeplaced within the yoar., Tho freight carried over theso threo rosds must pay not only what it wonld were thoro no tarifl, but $1,124,182 bosides. The tariff makes it pay, indosd, u very great doal moro than this, It makesit pay intorost on the increased cost of the original track and the inoronsed cost of overy locomotivo and switch, and even bolt and bar ond nut andscrew, Porhapa the farmers can &00 from this plaln oxhibt ono resson why the rates of froight are higher. Perhapa they can 800 from {t tho way to got choaper transports- tion, The Farmors' Nominating Conventioos will 80on bo held.

They should send no men to Cougress who is nat sound on theso two quostions. - OAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN ILLINOIS., Wilson, the New York desporado, said to the -officer who arrested bim for murder: “I don' care ; hanglug's playodout.” Tho bravado hung him.

Dr. Boyington, of tho Vine Btreot Congrogational Church, Cincinnatf, In ono of his recont sermons e appealed directly to thom in tho following strong language: *You are bonating tho eflicacy of prayer in subduing intomperanco, You sro calling Prof. Tyndall and all the world to soe that prayor is irrosisti- blo. And you aro golng to fall most draadfully. You nre going to suffor s most shocking dofoat in this mattor, and aro demonstrating to tho skoptical world what they have boon claiming and desiring to prove thomselves, that prayor per 8¢ has no officacy at all. You are imporiling teligion, which is. based upon tho officacy of prayor; and, whilo blindly following the sup- posed apirit of tho Olurch, aro pulling the wholo fabric of Christianity about your ears. Hia view of the situation has also boen indorsed by smothor prominont clergymaa in Cincionati, and thore are not wanting numorous others in other citios who are not catried away with the oxcitomont of the momont, and who, forescoing the dangers to the Church from the Prayor-Parado, are warning its mem- bors of approaching catastropha, It is not only to ofileacy of prayor, but also tho offlciency of religion, which is put in the cruciblo. It is but & fow days ago thal a prominent churchman mado the remark: *This movomont is from QGod himselt. It is God himself working through those women. If every saloon is not closed fn Chicago within o year, then I am pre- pared to e an Atheist.” This is simply zoal \ without knowledge, and it this chirchman holds to bis promiso, he will without doubt be su Athoist noxt March. Tho foilure of tho tom- peranco movoment, £ 1t fails, s the logst of tho evils iovolved in it 1t this Prayor-Parade fails, it must react upon all spocies of roligious offort, and paralyze tho work of the Church, which depends upon prayer though not upon parade, and thero will not bo wenting extromists who will oarry their scofing aud skepliolsm to tho uttermost limit. It is time tbat those religious poo- ple who mre wurging on this Prayer-Parade should stop and coolly ascortain what results it is producing, whither it is carrying them, snd what its ultimate offoct must be npon the Church aud Church.work. Let thom remembor, too, thot the Head of tho Church rebuled stroot. praying, and ssid, *Whon thou prayest, go into thy closet.” INFORMATION WANTED.

THE POLITICAL EDUCATION OF WOMEN. When tho various socioties of farmors and mechanics, and workers in gonoral, which are now sproading through tho country, sall have dono their work and died, it will probably bo found that ono of thoir most benofloial result has boon tho political education of tho tens of thousands of womon who havo belonged to thom. Ia the two largost organizations, no subordinate branch con bo organized without tho attendance of women. A cortain numbor of tho officors must bo womon. The gexes moot on o perfaot equality, save thnt men must pay doublo feos: What favoritlsm thore is, thenm, is shown to women. The fominine membors learn parlise mentary practice, loarn to vote intolligontly, loamn to tako an Intorost dn somotbing outsido thoir own monotonous and narrowlag lives, snd fearn to roach truth through tho slow and sure process of rorson hammered out by dobato ine stoad of the quick and dangerous mothod of ine tuition. Allthis s cloar gam. If women got tho franclise, in this day and genoration, thése of thom who have had the drill those scoietios give will, other things being oqual, use the ballot bottor than thoir loss fortunate slsters. The whisly war will not bo without ita inflae once upon the political education of women, It will tench them tho strongth that les in thelr combination, aud, lot us hopo, the. woukness of their present mothod of dealing with social probloms. In soveral towns, thoy havo turned their attontion to gotting prohibitory ordinsnces paseod. In othiors, thoy have showy & wondor- ful knowledgo of tho logal methiods of por- socuting saloon-keepors. The stir hns waked thom from & sort of political lothargy. Horoafter, combination will not bo 85 difficult for thom. Many of their praying bands will oryatallize into clubs dovoted to ob~ talnivg and enforcing auti-liquor logislation, ‘I'bese clubs will naturally take up, from time to timo, other roforms, So the whisky war will do good-to the crusadors, if it fails to touch tho moro obatinato hoarts it simed at. The inovit- ablo dofeat of the womon in their present offorta will make them disea:infled with the woapons now at thefr service.
