NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS. o must again remind our readers of tho diffoul- Hes attonding the preparation and classification of the reat number of advertisements insertod in the Sunday Issue of Tz TRmUNE; sud, on that scconnt, roquest advertisers to hand in their notices to-day at tho earliost possiblo moment, ‘The Board of Regents of the Michigan Univer- gity have Leon orderod by the Btate Supreme Court to show causo why thoy should not ap- jpoint two professors of tho homeopathic school. ‘The “blue blood" of England has taken ample rovenge for the snnoyanco and alarm caused by tho attompt to gobble the vast Tichborne estato. “Tho Olaimant was soveral weeks ago convicted of perjury, and scntenced’.to a long. torm of penal gorvitude, and now a liko fate has befallen Joan Luio and Capt. Brown, his two principal witnegses. Dr. Kenealy, Orton's counsel, may be oxcused for somo auxicty on his own account. Bome intercsting facta will bo fonnd detailed in snother colomn in regard to the proposed construction of elevated streot-railways in this city. A trinl of tho model soction of & ono-rail rond, which has been erectod opposite thePaciflo otol, will bo mado to-dny, and this ovening a meoting of property-holders will bo held at the Hiotol to considor the . fensibility of constructing & rond for actual travel. No bill introduced in tho Senate. this session has roceived such a thorough overhauling as the one brought forward by Seunator Stewart, of Ne- wvads, proscribing the conditions on which Ter- zitorial rzilronds may be constructed. If tho nuthor of the hill had any ulterior dosigns in urging its passnge, thoy must inevitably havo been dofeated by the amendmonts proposod:and ndopted by his suspicions .. colleagues. Mr. Btowart is in o fair way of learning that a good mame is rather to be chosen than groat riches, Oolloctor Cleary of tho Bouth Town and’ his bondsmon have beon made defondants in n suit in dobt, damagos boing placad ot $2,407,893.86." Tho ground of action is that the Collector hins retained ont of the monoys collected by him the snm of $8,000, which ho proposes to sequestrato for salary due him. Cortalnly, this is a sum- 'mary method of obtaining justice, and ‘it is not strango that MMr. Cleary hag encountered somo difficolty in convincing the County Troasuror that it is at all logal or equitable, Commodoro Vanderbilt ia gengrally sucoessful in making monoy whon ofher ;men are losing it. Recent dovelopments tend to show that even the panicof 1ast fall was not for him an nnmixead ovil.

B —ree e ——— Two murdorera wera hangoed yestorday, The crime of Lowensteln, who was éxcouted at Albany, has boon already related in Tur Trin- pse. Thore was nothing spocially noticeable about his death, But in the casc of Bryant, who wae hanged st Nashvillo, all the rovoiting foatures which havo lately atlonded the oxecu- tion of negroes in tho South woro present. TFor two woqls the condomnod man was granted an allowance of a quart of whisky daily. Tho *‘re- ligious onthusisem " which he is sald to have manifeated on the scaffold may bo. aecribed to this spocies of spiritusl consolation, Tho sodden wrotch was propped up on the scaffold, and allowed to haranguo tho crowd in a blas- phemous straln, putting himself forward ss a brand saved from tho burning. It is timo that suoh hanging-scones should * play out.” It tho Benators from Illinois aro sincorely anxious for information ns to tho sontimont which provails among thelr constitucnts on the curroncy quostion, thoy will be pleasod to hear of tho action taken yostordsy by the Chicago Olearing-Houso Assoclation. All tho banks in tho city but three wero represented in tho meot~ ing. A committoo was appointed to draft reso- lutions oxpressive of tho sonso of tho Associa- tln‘n, and it submitted & most unequivocnl decla- ration of prinoiples to the offcct that tho Asso- ciation strongly disapproves of any incroase of irredecomable papor curroncy, and deems ealu- tory only such logislation ns will tond to tho establishmont of specio psyment at the enrlicht practicable moment, Mr. Logan, aftor this, may toll Congross that tho people of 1ili- nois who have no money would like to have bad monoy made plenty, but ho will hardly daro to assort again that the capitalists of Chicago— the men who have property to bo dopreciated by pernicious financial logislation—viow his courso in tho Senate with anything short of sovere con- demuation, . > Mr. Madgeis Ohief of tho Special Agonts of tho Troasury Dopartmont. Ho has kmown San- born for soveral yoars, and yestorday ho gave material nesistance to the Ways and Meaos Committeo in penctrating tho veil which en- ehrouds *'tho mysterious man.,” Tho Chiof tostified that ho allowed tho exponses of San- born a8 an agent to dotect smuggling botween Cannda and Boston ; that ha paid €2,000 to o whisky detective who was in Sanborn's gorvice; and that ho allowed $8,000 for - tho oxponscs of * one Fay, who s beon mentionod in the course of the invosti- gation as Banboyn's friond and attornoy. Fay wag an agent of the Tressury Deparimont in Europe, but his name was not placed on tho official rostor of Governmont employes, becauso ho did not wiah it knowa that ho was engaged in tho Boorot Bervico. Ho was an ovil Fay. By mousing about tho European markels ho man- aged to collect ovidenco of the undervaluation of imports, and to turn into the Trdnanry about $140,000. Chiof Spocial Agent Madgo swore that this monoy, which was col- lectod by & gervant of the Government -detailed speclally for that purpose, and overy cent of which shonld have gone directly into tho Nation- al Troasury, was divided betwoen Sauborn and the Government! YWe aro not surprised to read inthe roports of tho investigation that the statemont of Mr. Madgo ‘‘scemed to bea now rovelation tothe Committeo.” Yestordsy was tho most oxciting day of the curroncy. debato in the National Houso of Rop- resontatives, Mr, Butler was moro than usually prominont in tho prococdings, consequently bis talent for coarsencss and mournful clownishness wag placed in an exceedingly strong light. His nttompt to substituto tho Sonate bill for - tho pouding measuwro waes dofont- od, and the atresm of talk which had been tomporarily dammed by his agonoy was sgain allowed o freo channel. The reason for ‘ts defeat of Butler was, thatho openly de- clared bis purposo of using tho Senato bill sim- ply a8 an entering wedge for tho admission tho objectionabla featuros ~of tho Houso bill, Perhaps the most astonishe 'ing part of Mr. Butlor's performanco was his roferonca to the probablo action of the President on the Benato bill. - He intimated broadly that no veto would be intorposed in case it wore passed. Deing callod to order for gross violation ‘of parliamentary usage, he said that bis objoct was to correet the wmisstatemonts of tho newspapers. A summary of further pro- coodings in tho Houso is as follows :- Mr, Mitch- .ell's amendment, providing for the rotiroment of logal-tanders proportionately to tho issue of Na- tioual-Bank notes, was rojectod, as was also Mr, Farwell's amondment in rolation to the sinking fund, and Mr, Morrinm's substitute pro- viding for the reduction of clroulation at the option of National Banks. The scction which nllows banks without circulation to bo organized, and the secction which provides for tho issuo of $3,000,000 of gold notos a8 a substitute for a like amount of logal-tondors, were stricken out. Kolloy's 8 05-100 proposition way rojectad by an excendingly olose vote; and without taking furthor action tho Houso adjourned. Tho temperance orusade is bringing about soma vory ourfous oporations in differont quar- tors, In Cinclnnati, s poraistent movemont is boing mado againat protzels, becauso protzels are salt, and if o man drinks ono glass of Loer and then eats & protzol, ho invariably wants anothor glass, Dy suppreusing protzols, thorofore, the oruandors hope to koop lovers of beor conflued ton singlo glass, At Akron, O., tho crusadors coms in at overy meoting of tho Common Coun- ciland alog two or thros hymns, in which tho Gouncll join, and - gomo of tho more musial meombera aro inslsting upon having an orchestra, ‘Tho Rov.

OON- TRAOT Tho deolalon of Judge Blodgett in the ocase of tho holdera of ““puts” againat the bankrupt estato of tho Chandlors, growing out of, tho col- obrated oat cornor of 1872, has oreatod much ox- citomont in commoroial circles; and well it may, for, if sustainod by tho higher courts, it will rov- olutionize noarly overy brauch of trado. The faots aro briofly these: Tho OChandlors dotor- mined to havo a corner in oats for the month of June, 1872, Thoy purchased 2,600,000 bushols cash oats, and Juno options for 2,090,400 bush- els. On tho 18th of Juno thoy controlled sl tho oata in tho Chicago market.’ In addition to these forms of purohiago, tho managers of tho cornor had another, which are called “puts.” Thoy road a8 followa: Tocolvod of A, D, $50, In eonstderation of which we givo him or the holder of thls contract tho privilegs of Qclivering to us or not, At any tima prior to 3 o'clock . m, of Juna 30, 1873, by notification or dolivery, 10,000 bushels of No, 3 oats, rogular recclpts, at 41 conts per busbol fn storo, and, it recalved, we agreo to poy for the samo at thosbovoprico, Bignod, Chondler TPomeroy & Co. PrrroN R, OUANDLER, ‘This was tho salo, at one-half a cont a bushel, of the privilogo of delivering oats at the price namud, and the number of bushols contractod forin theso *puts” was 8,700,000, Tho cornor was succossfully maintained until tho 18th of June, whon tho Chandlors failed, The holdors of the “puts” tendered, before Juno 80, tho onts oalled for, but thoy woro not accepted or paid for. Tho olaim was for tho differonco be- twoon the cash prics on the day of the tondor snd the prico named in'tho “ put,” tho claim ng- grogating $400,000. Tho smount paid for the puts was $18,600. When tho corner bogan, osts woro solling at 80 conts; tho prico advanced to 41, and romainod thero till tho corner falled ; prices thon foll to 81 conts. The facts woro tho 8amo 88 in all othor like cases,—the ono side on~ deavoring to keep tho prico of onts up, and tho lolders of “puts’ and **options™ to put tho prico down. ¥ 5 . Judgo Blodgott docidesjthnt thosoe * puts” or contracts aro wagors; that on the one side it was & bot that oots could not be purchased bofore Juno 80 for loss than 41 cents por bushel, and agrocing to pay tho differenco if they woro so pur- chasod. If Chandler eustained tho pricoatdl cents, ho would win the half cont por bushel ; that itwas o bot on the future pricoof grain, ¢ as much 80 08 could be made upon the spoed of a horse or the turn of eards.” Tho Court doscribod the strugglo botweon the cornor and the shorts, and comparedit to that botweon gamblors onany other wager. Ho hold that, 88 theso contracts wero ** eusentinlly nothing but bote upon the prico of grain,” thoy were void as all other wager con- tracts were, The Court, howovor, qualified its opinion in theso words: - XTdo not intond to bo understood s holding that ! ovory option contract for tho delivery of grain or stock, or that every “put” is mecosarlly void, but only that all thees contracts, in tho light of tho testi- ‘mony bofora the Qourt, wero {n their essential foaturcs gambling contracts, Tho parties when thoy mado them aid not intond to deliver tho grain, but only at the utmoet to settlo tho differonces. It appears to us that it will be excecdingly difionlt to draw tho line botween any contract for future delivery and tho contracts which the Court has declared void. Aoy msn who pur- chisgos grain, or provisions, or stock, to bo do- livered & month hionce, mnybo able at the time. of dolivery to purchaso at'loss than the price contracted for. Ya ho to bo allowed to ropudiate, his contracts and plead that ho was eimply botting that tho articlo could not bo hod at that time for tho price’ namod? Amanid Chicago may make sales for futuro Qolivery at the East, and, therefore, fortify him- solf by making purchases in Chicago, founded “upon the prices of his sales alroady mado. Ono contract rosts on tho other, Ho has -gold at one price, and Lios purchaséd at another,—both con- traots for future delivery. Ile doponds on .his capital, his knowledge, bis foresight, his skill, ond his judgmont for his success, If, in the mesantime, tho price of grain in the West shall advanco above tho prico at which ho bought, con all the porsons who sold to him: avoid thoir contracts on tho ground that they were bots upon tho price of gmin' and thus deprive tho merchant of tho ontire value of all the transnctions, and perhaps ruin hig eredit and bankrupt him financially ? Whero- inis the differenco botweon one contract for future delivery and another ? Inno casoecan tho principle of chance be wholly avoided. A nowspapor ofiico may advauco to tho papor-mill on tho 1st of Moy tho cash for a threo-months' supply of paper, to be déliverod at tho purchasor's option, @t tho prico ' raling May 1. If, in tho monntimo, the prico of poper shall advance, and the papor can only bo delivered at o loss by the mill, oan the lattor avoid the contract by alleging that it was o bot on the prico of paper during ninoty dags? The broad doctrino that Judgoe Blodgott hns laid down in this case must apply to all con- tracts for future dolivery. One of tho consider~ ations of such contracts is, that tho prico may advanco within that timo. The sollor takies tho chanco of prices falling. On both eidos there is & riuk, and that rigk is part of .the considaration. Is this gombling ? Is this the enme as botting on a horso-raco? 1f it be, thon all commorclal transnctions, oxcopt cash salos, are gembling, and void, In England, an immoneo proportion of the grain, provisions, cotton, wool, and grocerica importod into that country are advertised and sold ““to arrive."” That is to say, as soon as tho consigueo is informed by cable of tho shipment from Now York, tho cargo is pus up for salo to arrive.” It may bo purchased and sold s dozen thfion, and at varying prices, boforo it reaches London; whon it doos got thoro its value may havo greatly risen or fallen, but could the con- tracts bo avolded becauso they wora bote as to the valuo of the cargo on the day of its arrival? It so, thon nemly sll the sales in this country and in Europe aro vold, Judgo Bloagott scoms to assumo that, whore the con- traot is for the futuro delivery of grain, and on tho day of delivery, instoad of Landing over tho graln, the partios settlo in oash at the rato of differonce betwoon tho ruling and contract pricos, therofore the contract 1s cssontially a wa- gor, and vold. All contracts msy be annullod, ohanged, or modified by tho consent of tho con- traoting partios. A man may, with the consont of the holdor of his note, discharge the debt by ' paylug 50 conts on tho dollar, but that eottlo- \mont furnishes no ovidencs upon whick tho ,original contract may bo declarod vold, nor dooy it furnish ovidonco that when the note was given Jt wan a bob that tho drawor at tho maturity of ‘thoir daily sossions, #ho noto would not bo abla to pay 100 conts on the dollar, Wo aro not dofonding *cornors,” nor thelr morality, Wo think thoy aro injurious to tho trado nod to tho chiaracter of tho olty, bocauso they tomporartly dfsturb tho markot and aubstituto spoculativo for roal valuos, But this s s ques- tion whothor contracts onco mado shall bo on- foroed ; and whon tho law is laid down in ono o0a80 It must govorn all parallel onses, 1Tonco tho inquiry which wo have instituted: What aro parallel casos? Must tho burdon of proof. be put on ovory purchaser for futuro dolivory to show that ho was not moved by o gamblingapirit whon o mado tho contract? If s0, thon tho burdon of lylng will bo put upon tho ono who wants to hinve tho contract annutled, for he hasg only to swoar that he was gambling whon ho mado tho contract, It seoms to us that Judgoe Blodgett’s deoision ia radically do- footivoe when ho olasses transactions which do- pond maiuly npon capital, knowledge, and skill with thoso which dopond mainly upon chanao. Thore ian similarity, porhaps, botweon s specu- Intion in onts and & game of faro, but is not the fnct that tho latter depends upon the turnof a cord, whilo tho formor doponda upon tho ro- sources, judgment, and information of the spoculator, sufliciont to mako the former enforce- sbloat Inw whilo the lattor is not? To make the two parallol, wo must concolvo that Chandlor & Oo. on tho one haud, and tholr opponents on tho othor, mado their bots and thencalmly waited till tho 18tk of Juno to seo what the result wonld bo. Instoad of that, both sides used thelr ut- most ondoavors to bring about tho result. Ohandler & Co. bought sll tho oats offored as long a8 they could get monev to pay for thom, ond the othor side brought oats into the oity from ovory diraction till Ohandler & Co. ecould tako no more. Thero was somothing of the olemont of chanco in tho oporation, but if either party had left it to chanco the othor would surely . have won. OHICAGO AHEAD AGAIN, Thore was & ring in the District of Columbis, and {t flattored itsolt it know o thing or two. It had a Boss at tho hoad, like - tho New York ring, and his namo wae Shopherd. It was a cunning ring, a shrowd ring, an enterprising ring, and it kmow all tho ways that -aro dork and tho tricks’ that aro vain,.and Washington rather oxulted that it bad a ring as lcuto a8 any other aity's ring, The Bhopherd had many shoep, and they fod fat on the clovor which Lo cultivated for thom. Tho ring gob its privato proporty improved out of the public funds. Tio ring hired a tailor aud a shoemakor to construct its sowors, It was littlo wondor, therefore, that tho tailor and shoomalter put rotten bricks into the gowers and monoy in tho pockots of the ring, Tho ring got up & roal estato pool and inveigled unsuspocting pooplo into it. Tho ring put con- tracts whore thoy would do the most good. The ring had National Bankers and membors of Con- gress in ite coat-pockets, and it bought influence chioap and investod it ot much profit. Tho ring, in fact, was doing famously, and hiad everything its own way until o Chicago man went and did forit. This Chicago man was contemplatingtho pavemont in front of his property ono day, whon o thought struck him. Io went to the contractors and informed them that Chicago | ought not”to have s monopoly of all tho good paving. Why not lay it down in Washington? Bat the contractors had no influence in Wash- ington. Pehaw! It would bo no trouble tothis gontloman, Ho would pack his valise snd take the train that night for tho National Capital, sea tho Bossos, como back with the contract, and altimately help pay off the national dobt. .. No soonor gaid than dono, Ho wont, ho suw, Do conquored. Tho last statement of the pub- lio dobt doos not show any material shrinkago, and {t is possiblo that the gentleman from Chi- cngo has not yot made Lis payment, This, how- over, is immatorial. 'Ho collared $97,000 and gavo Washington City n pavement. The con- tractors got thoir contract, and very shortly thoy commonced operations in tho straots of Wash- ington. ““Samuels’ " procoss” was put'in operation along the stately avouues, and tho sound of the rammer and the rat- tlo of gravel . woro as familiar to tho poople of the Fdeoral City as thoy have becomo to the people of Ohicago, whero wooden pavo- ments wore born and brought up; and ns the mombors of Congrass went back and forth from and the ring rovolved around whorethe paving was going on, thoy marvoled much at the onterprivo and dash of Ohicago, and had sorious intentions of letting oll tha rest of thoir contracts out.to Chicago. Ono day, howover, camo Quimby, the contractors’ clork, and he told Boss Bhopliord that the ironized pavement wasa do- lusion and a snaro; that it was good for nothing, and that it had failed in Ohicago. Then tho ring decidod they wouldn't have any moreof it, and thoy so informed thoe contractors, who desired permission only to finish . the job, so as to utilizo what matorial they had on hond. Rotting lumbor, hLeaps of gravel, and rusting boilers are not plensant objects “for contomplation, but Boes Bhepherd ssid ho wouldbe d—d if it should ho done.

Hobbos declared that tho natural statoof mankind was o war of all sgainet all. Tho mon- strous doctrine provoked no groat disgont Ropulsive as tho idos is, it gathors somo strongth by roforonco to history. Tho caraor of many a ruler can bo summed up by saying: He was born, ho fought, hio died.

In 1801, Victor Emmanuel bogon hia scquisi- tions, whioh ended in 1870 with tho capture of TRome.

A Dr. Yolli, of Mitan, bad gone so far before Sir: Honry wroto a8 to propose & mothod of crermation. A Dr. Brunnotti, of Padun, had done the same. Both theso mothods woro failurcs, how ever. Tho most that could be done by tho mothodof the former wag to destroy tho ‘ tissmws snd char tho bones. To tho method:of: Dr. Brunnetti thero wore insurmotntable mstthotio objections.’ Dr. Reclam, » German physicisq of Loipsio, has just mado his appoarance as anjadvocato of cro- mation, arguing in its favor, liketso many othors, on sanitary grounds.

Doth favor tho use of the furnaco invented by Dr. Siomons, tho action of which woe have al- ready explained in these columns, The.argumonts advanced by both axo not unlike, The intorosts of the living, Dr. Roclam thinks, demand that cremation bo subatituted for burial.

It hins boon shawn that onc-half of what wae call the solid crust of the earth ia a rocopta~ olo for air and wator. In other words, one-half of its volpme is made up of poros,—avenues for the pnesago of poisonous gasos gonerated by decompoeition of buricd animal matter. Not only is tho carth !porons, but even ‘glass and’ porcelain, Dr. Reclam rolates an in- stanco demonstratiug tho poresity of glass which desorves to -bo mentionod. The kitchen win- dows of a hospital recontly built in Lolpsio wero furnished with double pancs, oneand s half- contimotros apart, to protoot that dopartment from the oxconsive variations of tomperaturcto’ which it wss eubjocted from being sit- uated underground, Tho panes were put in undor the dircction of an engl- noeron a hot doy,in Auguat, and great caro takon that not a crovico should bo loft to admit air or moisture, It was not very long, howaver, beforo the epace botween tho panes was half filled with water, and the quory arose how it came to be so filled, Not through cracks or erovices, for thoro were nono.
