Butlor has had bis bill to suspend Tudges Durell and Busteed from offico pendlng their impeachmont made tho special order of the House for Tuesday noxt, iy The National Bank of Commesce of New, York . lsreported to be about to withdraw from its movement to forco the A. & W. Bpraguc: Mhou- facturing Company into bankruptcy, A goneral ngsignment of nll the property - of-the Company is to be madoe to tho trusteo of the creditors, its suaponded paper will bo oxchanged, ss beforo ngroed upon, for three years' motes, and its operations will be continued without any intor- mission of work. Tesolutions stron gly condemnatory of any in- flation of tho currency were brought "bofore the Chicago Board of Trade yosterday, and will bo put to vote to-day. Tho very plain proposition is pat forth that any currency ie too plenty that ts not worth 100 conts on tho dollar, and Con- gress is recommended to move away from repu- diation and towaras a fulfillment of the national promises to pay its oreditors doliar for dollar. Tho Prosident ia called on to veto any inflation moasure that Congress may pase. Cooke, attorney of the District Goverument, woa oxamined by the Investigating Committeo yesterday, His testimony was not givon freely. He ndmitted that he had been attorney for Btrong, the contractor whoso check-book showed* paymenta to him,'at the samo time that be had been attorney for the District Government. As I8 usaal in such cases, this serving two masters was for the sake of the eorvant, and the witnees mado himselt the more contemptible by the statement of the small sums for which he had divided Lis allogiance. Mr. Storn, of the New York Commissionars of Charities, has roplied Lo the charges of one of hia osgociates that Tweed lives in luxury .on Blackwell’s Ialand, and is so slackly guarded that ho could walk out of prison if ho chose. He enys that twenty-two kecpers stand between Tiwoed and oscape, all of whom would have to be bribod betore ha' could regain his liberty. He doos not concoal the fact that the Boss of all the thieves is trented to better quartora than hia fel- low-convicts, and contents himself with saying that it 18 not worth whilo to make a martyr ot T'weed by unnecossary sovority. e Yesterday the House Judiclary Committoo listoned to tho deputation of Bouth Oarolinians who sro seoking the intorvention of Congross for the tax-payera of thatState. To-morrow the ropresentatives of tho presont Governmont will plead their caso. The tax-payors asasert that the majority of the voters of the Stato pay no taxos, and that the burdon of taxation which falls upon tho minority is twonty timos heavier than it was before the War. If the peoplo aro drivon to the negatlve robellion of rofusing to pay tholr taxes, Congress must intorforo, thoy say, and it had botter prevent that calamity than lot it come and then try tocure it, The Chicago produce markets wore genorally. sironger yesterdsy, with a fair aggrogate of bneiness transaotions, Mess pork was aotive, and advanced 260 por brl, olosing at 2164734@10.60 onsh, and $10.72@16.75 seller May, Lard was also active and 16@200 per 100 1bs highor, closing at £9.50@ .65 cash, and 00.6?@170 sollor May, Monts wore inaotive and unchanged, at 3o for shoul- dors, §8,20@8.26 for short ribs, $8.46@8.60 for short clear, and 10@10%o por Ib for sweet. plekled hams, Highwines wore innctive and nominally easlor at 933¢@08¢ per gallon, Tlour was dull and & shado oaslor, Wheat was sotive and 5{c higher, oloslng at $1,93 oaab, and §1.2036 seller BMay. ‘Oorn.was in good demand snd flumer, closing ot 6130 oash, and 05550 seller May.

Bish~ op Whitohousc'a call brought togothior eight por- song ; the moeting of tho old organization whiol was favorablo to Chonoy numbered forty ; tho business moeting of the Reformed Episcopaliana was attonded by sixty porsons, The Chonoy schism ovidontly hins the strongth of numbors, — Only the barost rolurns are at handthis morn. ing of the State cloction in Connectiout, but it 18 known that the Domocrats have carried tho Btato pgain, ond thot the Ropublicans have added to thoir lossos ab tho Inst olec- tlon. Thoro wore chartor cleotlons in Ohio, Tllinols, Michigan, and Towa yostorday. In somo casen tho {ssuc was political, and in othors de- poudent upon the tomperanco agitation. Tn Naa Moines, which wasa Ropublican atronghold in tho goodold times, the Anti-Monopolistsbave carried thedsy. InDubuque,the Demoorats havoe boon the victors, and, so far an tho roturns show, all the changos aro to the disadvantage of tho Ad- ministration. . Tho tomporince quostion wes paramount in Olfo, Illinois, aud Miohigan, andin the first alone do tho Temporancoe party seom to havo hed nny success. In tho other Btates, tho Liconse party have tho majorities with them. K — The evidont favor with which the peoplo havo roceived tho locturos ot the Sundsy-Afternoon ‘Lieoturo Asaociation hoa attractod tho attention’ of tho Prosbytorinn ministors. At thelr meoting yostorday the objcots of the Lecturo Assootation woro oxplained and dobated with a good deal of iutorest and divorsity of opinion. Bome of tho clorgymen thought it as irreligions to deliver such lecturos on Sunday as to ride in the horse- earg, whilo others folt suro that Bt. Paul, it he woreo hore, would accept the invitation of tho Association to lecture, and thought its schomo an admirable one for ronching thoso whom the Church could not, orat least did not, attract. About one thing thero scomed no dif- ferenco of opinion. Tho Chureh ought to be able to reach with its all-Important doctrines the vory clngs that rofuse to onter s church-door, and at their noxt meoting the ministors will dis- cuss whother thoy can devise any popular courso of servicos for Bobbath aftornoons that will achiovo this result. — : Booretary Richardson's veracity is ealled di- rectly into quostion by Sanborn in hia testimony bofaro the Ways and Monns Committeo. Secre- tory Richurdson told tho Committes unequivo- cally that ke knew nothing whatever about tho contents, or about any of the papers in the coee, which ho lind signod as n mattor of rou- tine, and without paying any attention to thom. Banborn, whose teatimony is agraenbly atraight- forward ns far as it goos, says that ho talked Lis contracts over with tho Socrofary balfa dozen times. ITe bes no doubt that Mr:Rich- ordson knew sll about them.’ Mr. Richardson showod the utmost familiarity with thom, so much 8o that Sanborn went to him for informa- tion about them. Sanborn avows that nono of the $100,000 which ho had to pay ont of tho ©210,000 Lo received from the Govern- mont went to any intornal revenuo officor or to any member,of Congross, directly or indirootly, Ho was closoly . oxamined about his connection with Gen. Butlor. ' He had paid him no counsel fees, Ho had subscribed to thefund for holping bim' to. tho ' Govérnorebip of Massachusotts, Gon; " 'Butlor had ‘givon him a lottor which had secured him ball in his trial in Brooklyn, According to Sauborn’s statoments, his ghoro.of tho money he has recelved is less than $50,000. He declines to state how hespent the sums ho had to give for information. Tho Senato has passed the Ourrency bill add- ‘ing $44,000,000" to the greonback currenoy and authorizing the farthor imsue of- §46,000,000 to Notional Banks. Tho vote stood 20 to 24, Son- ator Bhorman's attempt to hava some recogni- tion of o day for the resumption of specio poy- monts failed by tho intractable majority of 6. Benator Conlling was equally unsuccess- ful with his amendment forbidding any increase of tho publio debt under the sct, Sennior Mor- ton opposed it because it would prevent the Beo- ratary of the Treasury from issuing more green- backs whon they wore needed to carry on the Government! He ' mustored & majority of 8 to dofont it. When iho final vote wag about to be taken, the most influontial membors of the Senate, of both parties, roso, end, In briof and digniied spooches, vainly sought to avert tho disgrace which the ma~ Jority wore bont on consummating, Senator Conkling forotold that distress and disnstor would follow, and warmed bhis colloaguos that the Ropublican parly was pledged to an oppomte polioy. Benators Btowart, Anthany. Carpentor, and Flanngan jolued in similer protests. Benator Thurman said this bill portonded tho disappearanco of the .mopoy ofthe Constitation for tho next generation. Bonator Sargont predlcted the destruotion of tho party and the leaders that sttomptod to flood the country with irredoemable paper. Bonator Bchurz eald Lo folt humiliated o8 ‘sn American citizen, and his fellow-countrymen wiil shavo his ohagrin, Coroners in Now Joraoy are 8o numorous that the population by whose domise they are sup- ported is unuttorably insignificant in proportion, THence the former are continually on tho nlort for & caso, and are keen-acentod in discovering ono. It must be tho ecataoy of consolation to tho dying Jerseyman to know that go soon as hio slll hava breathed his last acouple or moro of these human vultures will be racing toward his corpeo like rival firo-companios to a conflagra- tion. Death must bo hailed with triple joy whon 1t encouragos such life and action in othors, Jorsey City was treated to such a sight a day or two sinco. Two hapless viotims of railrond noghigence woro takon to the Morgues, and an order igsuod by County Physiclan Buck to Coro- nor Parslow to hold an {nquest. Coroner Reinbard eniffed tho foo at grost distanco, and ecagerly flew to tho Morgue to antlcipato his rivals, Io arrived first, impancled s jury, obtained a vor- dlot, dismlssod tho Jurors, and had just placed ono mangled ocorpse into his wagon when Buok drove up, Rolnhard diovo off with balf, the plunder, while Buok, enatching up sz officor,” started in pursuit. Dolug publio ofcors, both men had good hioracs, and tho olattor of hoofs as thoy dashod through tho streots of Jorsoy City bronght out orowds of surprised witnosaos of this Bunday postimo. Tho obaso was a long one, but Buck's horso, which waa frosh, overtook Rolnhard about two milos out, Tho fagitivo Qoroner was mado to disgorge the mutilatod corpso and roturn homo empty-handed, leaving - his fayored rival to hiold o second ‘tnquost. Jor- 8oy City may bo a plensant placo to Jive in, but it 1a ovidontly nob & good place to dio in, RAILWAY TROUBLE IN WISCONSIN, Tho first ronl colliston botween the poople on the one side And tho faflroads’ on tho othor promiscs to take place in Wisconsln soon after the lat of May, whon tho railroad laws passed by tho Btate Logialature tako offect. Thoso laws ostablish spocifle ratos on oach clasa of morchian- digo on oach olass of railronds. Tho ratos of transportation by the car-load are arrangod by strotohon of 25 milos,~—that is, thero is ono rato for hauling & car-load 25 milos, anothoer rate for the next 25 miles, and so on, a difforont rato for onch 25 miles up to 200 miles, . Tho Iaw provides for the summary punishmont: of any railroad agont or officor refusing to sell tickets or to ro- ceive and deliver fruight at the rates preseribod by tho aot, i 5 i We undorstand that the *Chicsgo & North- westorn and the Milwankee & St. Paul Compa- nios have beon taking legal advico in Now York, 00 UL, ATEON # 1UL LULALIBICY UL TUB LATUU~ tors, o determimstion has beon reached. This ia to the effact that it requires 70 per cent of the rocolpts of those roads to operate them in Wis- consin ; that tho rocont legislation will have the effect of reducing tha receipta 80 per cont,—that is, to tho cost of oporating the roads; that if the value of the proporty is to bo destroyed, it might as well bo destroyed by dofyitg tho law 88 by oboying it ; ‘and, thorofors, thaé tho of- floera of tho roads shall be dirocted to disrogard tho law, This will: produco a conflict at onco. It o ticket-ngont, rofusing to accopt tho fare | fizod by Taw, is arrested and ‘punlshed, thoy pro- pose to dloso tho ticket-oficn ; and if & frolght~ agont Is' punishod, t6 close the froight-offico, Tho trains will run by. the offending ' stations without atopping. . " This confliot betweon tho railways and the public is inovitable, and porhiaps it may as. well bogin in Wisconsln: as in any other Stato, It will oventually bring order outof the chaotio disorder and uncortainly which now provail, It will necossitate n Bottlement,—not &, compro- misg, but a pormanent settloment of. tho rolative rights of the publio on tho hand and of transporta- tion compunies.on the other. Primarily tho rail- rosd companlos assert that,in addition to tho payment of thoir npnmiiug oxpongos, thoy aro entitled to n profit equal to the intorest on thelr dobts and o fair dividend on their capital. This seems entirely reasonable, but it nocossitates an exomination into facts. What are legitimate opoerating oxpensos ? Tho presumption is that tho oporating exponsos aro managed with care, skill, and economy; ‘but it may bo rightfully usked, Are not tho exponditures of railway com- ponios wasteful and oxtravagant, and might thoy not be reducod lnrgely? In tho mext place, what doea the capital stook represont? Daos'it ropresent monoy actually -invested in the ronds, and oxpended in, construction exclusively, or doea 1t represent atock dividonds or distribution of money never carnod ? What do the out- ontstanding bonds ropresent? Do they ropre- sont money borrowed and invosted in tho ronds, or do they x‘npyquanb money that'.onght to bave been expended in ronewing tho tracks, buildivg extonsfons, but which was diverted from tho eomnings " of ‘the road to pay dividonds on stock, both real and watered. In some cases in Wisconain the railronds wero buil originally with cash and borrowed money, and thon sold undor mortgage for comparatively inconsidorablo sums. Thus, when a railway cost $7,000,000, and was bought by, .the present company for §8,000,000, are the publie roquired to pay dividends on tho $8,000,000 actual cost; or the $7,000,000, 10,000,000, or $15,000,000 of ‘stock isened by tho new company? When tho railronds domand fair profits, they must bo pro- pared to make fair exhibits of the capital ac- tually investod ; they must o propared to show, algo, that their actual earningaaro fairly and hon- ostly stated, and that their account of operating expensos doos -not inoludo wasto and oxtrava- gance, and f8 not so doctored as to dofraud the Tho conflict will have another good effect. It will dissbuso tho managers and stockholdora of railway compauies of tho idea that they aro irro- sponsiblo corporations, They aro private cor- porations in one senso, but they are also pablic. corporations in the senso of owing obligations to tho public in exchange for the spoolal privileges thoy hold, The history of auch corporations is not gonerally In thelr favor, so far as affording any evidence of consideration for the rights or intorests of the people. Generally they have beon exacting and romorscloss, The timo has como when they shonld bo mido to foel that thore is some chieck and restraint upon them, Tho Legislatures of Wisconsin and other' States, in attompting to apply this chock, may have drawn 1t too tightly, or may not have used the proper means. But the unrestrained power of the railronds and their unlicensed assumptions have been overturned, and forever. Exactty whore tho line of prerogative is to bo drawn is to be ostablishiod by jnet auch = oonfliot no is now lu= pending in Wisconsin, and which threatons to stop every train on overy road in the Btato. Thera 16 £o be & satiloment of this wholo sub- Ject, and, while raiironds must boleft freo enough to bo profitablo to their owners, it must-bo an honost profit upon the eapital notually invested, aud rosulting from recelpts honestly administer- ed, as shown by nocounts honestly kept by re- sponsible persons. — CITY BUILDINGS, The proposition that tho Clty Governmont shall rent tho Honoro Blook, corner of Adams and Doarborn atroots, for publio officos, hag alioited offers of other buildings for the nso of tha city, The ownors of theso buildings, of ‘course, oxpooet a liboral ront for thoir promises, and tho sevoral offors are now ponding before tho Common Conncil, : . Boforo the Common Council take any steps in tho way of ronting buildinga for public use, Wo call atlontion to the fact that the clty is the awner of tho old Custom-Houso site and of tho standing walls, This property is worth' over 200,000, At an oxpenditure of 975,000 it can be fltted up to accommodato the olty officos and also allthe courts, It would boa utilization of publio proporty now 1dle and unproductive, The whole cost of rostoring and rofitting the bulld- ing would probably not excesd ono year's ental of any promisos that would bo sufficiont for the publio nocossitios, . As tho olty must provide new and oomfortable “quartors for the courts and clty ofloss wutil the ‘nge,” now Court-Houso and Olty Hall aliall bo bullt and complotod ; and as that now bullding will not bo roady for ocoupancy for soveral years, porhops not beforo 1880, econoray, common prudonoo, snd ordinary intolligonco suggost that the olty, instond of ronting private buildings at 875,000 n yonr for five or alx yonrs, ahall put this old Post- OMico and Custom-ITouso building in order, and fitlt up for tho uso of tho publio ofices, Ono year'srental of private proporty would sufllce to put the Post-Offco Luilding In comploto ordor for ocoupnnoy, and whon so restored it will be bottor for all tho purposes neoded than any building not designed and ercoted for public usos. Action by the Council now could secura the complotion of this building In timo for ocou- panoy by January noxt. r——— THE TOWN ELECTIONS, To-day that inconsidorablo portion of tho pooplo of Cbleago not iunning for town'| oftides will assomble at tho polla to exorclse tho inestimnble privilogos of Amorican citizons, and oloct offtcers for the ensulng yanr. For once, at least, voters will not bo troubled with & paucity of condidates from whom to choose. Almost every issue, ovory nationality, overy color, ov- ory roligion, and evory ocoupntion may bo found reprosonted. As usual, thore are very fow candi- datos who have mot run bofors, and very fow who have not been in office moro or less elnce they woro old enough to qualify. It is moinly lot of damagod and second-hand goods, but, WO BNU guuiuy sy W8 VEry POOT, no com= plaints can ba found with the quantity., Asthere aro no party linos drawn in this contest except about those porsistent lovera of thelr country who are atill engaged in tho offort to abolish slavery or toget thoir drinks on Bunday, the avorago voter haa a froe flold in which to rosm, and wo presume if he votes early and voltes often no objection will be mado, provided he votes for the right man at tho right place, and votes in- dofatigably, - Those who have not time to can- voas the merits of the regimont of’ candidatos ‘will do woll to go it blind and they will not go far amiss, TFortunately thoreis no dangor of tho towns boing' govorned any worse than they hinve besn, and as tho law now prevents Town Tropsurios from boing doploted and town officors from taking more than thoy can colloct, tax-pny- ors oan breathe more freely, whatever dynasty of patriots may ‘come into power. Our advice to our renders is, that if, after & caroful " soarch’ samong the Ennfll< datos, they can find any respectablomon, voto for, them. If they cannot, they can oxorcise thint blossed privilogo of &n’ Amibrican freoman,'and voto for nobody. . i * Town eolections nlso ocour throughout tho Btato to-day. Outsido of Chicago thesoclections nossess moro than ordinary significance, a8 the farmors' organization is taking a band in them, and it it is genorally succesaful tho foundation 18 Jaid upon which it will work for more impor- tant results, and by means of which it will ox~ tond its influence against old party corruptions: Thelr trinmph in theso eleotions will not bring much comfort either to Republican or Demo- cratio wiro-pullars, o8 it loaves them no secure basgo for their oporations. From the general spirit which baa been manifosted throughout the towns of the Btate, thera is evory ronson to expoct that the peoplo are bound to-day to se- curo good and honest men to manage local af- fairs, regardless of any party considorations. If this Is dono, tho inovitable result in the futore will bo a botter, moro hofiout, and moro compe- tont managemont of Stato aftairs. ' But for the unrongonable and useless msnner in which tho olections are spread over tho month of April in | the incorporated villages of this State, like Hyde Parl, for instance, they would be madestill more docisivo than thoy. can be now. At prosent, Schaol Directors are elocted on the 4th of April, towuship officors on tho 7th, School Trustees on the 11th, and corporation officers on tho 1st. A concontration of theso elootions on ono day would produco a concentration of interost, whith would be benofleial and would be tar prof- orable to the present cumborsomo modo, THE STORY OF A POSTAL-CARD. A prominont merobant in St. Josoph, Mo., J. B. Johnson, Esq., has got himself into troublo, tho Postmnater of 8t. Josoph into troublo, the Postmastor of- Chicago into troublo, and the Governmont of tho United Btates into tronble, -all growing out of a bit of pasteboard with somo writing on it. Somo woeks ago,{Mr. Johnaon, having oceasion to order goods from Chicago, posted a label about tho sizo of o postage-stamp Dearing his businoss addroess on tho postal-card. Tho Chicago corrospondont recoived the card in duo ttme, but had to pay 6 conts extra postage, and g0, notified Mr. Johinson, As the lattor had been in the hablt of posting theso labelsfor some time and had nover before been called upon for oxtra postage, he consulted the Postmastor of Bt. Josoph, Mr, Arnholt, nbout it. The latter authority informed him that he had a right to 1abol tho cards and could coninue to do'so with safoly, unless tho cards ward going to Chicago, whoso Postmastor didn’t understand tho law, ‘Theroupon, in o happy frame of mind, Mr. Johnson nddressod s card to the Chicago house in "bhis best handwriting, and with a fecl- ing of oxuliation triumphantly and in a bold hand wrote these words: -“Our Post- mastastor says your Postmaster s - an The Chicago Postmastor forwarded tho ‘obnoxions postal-card to Washing- ton. - Mr. Oroswell put on his speotaoles and reud the 8t, Joseph Postmaster’s pithy opinion of tho Chicago Postmaster, Tho fosult of tho reading was a postal-card from Mr. Creswell to the Bt. Josoph Postmaster which noarly hifted the latter functionary out of his boots, and made him realizo, s ho had never dono before, how frail tho tenure of a Post-Oflico may be, - Thoreupon tho Postmester call- ed upon Mr. Johneon, and informed him that ho had nover said the Postmaster of Chicogo wasan ass. Mr, Johnson brushed np his memory, and, after a wiile, concluded that ho was mistaken in tho language usoed, and gave his Pogtmnster o statoment to that offoct.
