It fs tho opinion of sclentific men concerned in tho survey thatn continuous raugo of submarine mountains oxterids from Japan to tho Bnndwich Islands, Bix ponks, ranging from 7,000 to 12,600 foot in holght, wore mensured, : e Atty.-Gon, Williams has again fallon upon evil timea. Lvidonco has boen taken by the Diatrict Investigating Committeo, to tho effedt that tho Attorney-Gonoral's property was graded at the oxponso of the Washington Doard of Publio ‘Works. The defonso sot up to thia allogation is that tho work was dono at tho cost of contrac- tors under tho Board, r. Williams' action will appear in n botter light, if he shall convince the publio that it is & usual or propor thing for the chiet Inw-officer of the Governmont to accopt gratuities from mon whom ho may at any timo be called upon to prosecuto for fraud or delin- quencies. But oven the flimey dofense attompt~ od was not sustained. ————— The bill repealing the Bauborn contract passed tho National ITouse of Represontutives, yoster- doy, without a dissentiug ‘voico. In tha courso of the dobate, Becrotary Richardeon was again put undor fire. Hot shot were thrown upon hitm {rom many vantage-grounds, and ho came out of the ongagomont in a sndly-battored condition, Tho Presidont is eredited with the intention of keoping Mr. Richardson in offico until ho shall no longer bo *persecuted.” The sontiment is worthy of the man, It scoms never to have oc- currad to the President that it is wildly ridlculons to rotain a Cabinot officor simply because he in genorally obnoxious, or to romove him becauso ho is no longer tho object of attack. Lato roports from the famine-stricken rogions of India aroe very unfavorablo. It is said that 8,000,000 persons aro now dopendont upon tha Government for subsistonce, and the distress is daily incronsing. English popers by ihe last ateameor intimato that tho stross of the famino will bo most severely felt between tho middle of May and tho st of July, unless heavy raing shall 1all in tho meantimo, Minor dotails of tho re- llof-systom adopted by tho British authorlties bave proved imporfect, and espocially is this truo of the facilities for tho transportation of supplics. Thero is reason to beliove, howover, A bill bas passed the Benate to restrict ‘She cholce of jurics in United Statos courts to Apersons who oan road and write the English lan- guago. More Know-Nothinglsm, some of the wpapers will eay; butthe fact is that gonuine Enow-Nothingism is just what the bill isdesignod to prevent. B A correspondeut who koems to be wall booked on the subjeot of Prosbyterian disciplino writes & lottor to show that tho Proabytery of Chicago oannot give a lotter of dismisenl to Prof. Bwing while an appeal to the Bynod ia pending—the appeal itsolf involving tho gueation whether he i8in good and rogular standing or not. The slternative wonld seem to be cxcommunication. Jsy Gould has captured tho Pacific Mail Btoamship Company by a questionable opora- ton, that may bo cheracterized as fraud or stratogom, according to individual tastos. Ho seat to stockholders a specious circular glorify- ing the Hatch administration, and, by moans of ite roprescntation, secured proxios cuough to eleot a tickot of which the Hatch olement is o ‘ery insignificant part, — A plea of ineanity has beon set up in behalf of the young Ruesian Prince who lately stolo bis mothor's dismonds and gave them to an Amorican actress, His madnoss had method, and does not seem to have boen very different from tho ordinary run of love-sicimess. For- eign noblemon who pay dubious court to Ameri- ©aD motresses may expoot to get into trouble, and be sot down &8 crazy by their intimates and equals. B Attantion s directed to the resolutions recont- ly introduced in the Nashville Common Council touching upon the change in the ‘public-school zystem contomplated by the Civil-Rights bill. Xt will be observed that thero is sorious thought of discontinuing further appropristions for school purposes in cago tho bill shall bocome & law. The agitation of this question at so early # dato is but another confirmation of the state- ment recently mado in these columns, that the Dill moans mischiet to educational intorests in ‘the Bouth, I g Booiprooity in trade with Cannda meets with Littlo opposition from any body of businoss-men n this country whose opinion is entitled to much consideration. Rozolutions wore adopted by the New York Produco Exchiango yeslerday, arging upon Congress the desirability of con- summating s reciprocity troaty at tho earlicat day practicable. Tho .change must como, Noither Canada nor the United States Las any- thing to gain by continuing in exiatence the Iron-bound polioy; it is too oyator-like for this age and country, e p— The Pittsburgh Gazelts” thinks that the oure renoy queation will Lo tho main issue in the oloc- tions thia fall, ond it signifien its own pasition " on this fsmue by the profound observation that Tho early restoration of speclo: payments is entiraly aecondary to tho early development of the immense resources of our magnificent em- pire. To rapidly develop these, an nmpla sup- ply of curroncy {8 neoessary, and this, wo are porsusded, the peopls will have,” Thoro are other igue in the politioal Armament implying that the Republican {nflationisty are plucking up courage. The Ohlcago produco marlets wers genorally lowor yesterday, excopt iu provisions, Mess Pork was lesu actlve, and 5@100 per brl highor, olosing st 817,12}¢ cash, and §17.80 soller July.

While the Sooloty is disposed to Ineist that all mon and women arp equal before God, yet.out of regard for the delicato sonsibilitics of Virginia Dunkards, the agitating question whether *'tho holy kiss” shall be dispoused without rogard torace, color, or provious condition of eorvitude will bo relegatod to individual churches. It would not be n bad iden to include * the holy kiss" among the bath- room and barber-shop priviloges which it is pro~ posed to confor upon tho colored race, Arkansas affairs are not yot scltled, aud wil not bo until Congress bas investigated them and decided whothor the State hosa government “ropublican in form.” A resolution for the appointment of & seleot committeo of flve to mako Inquirles to thisond passed the House yosterday by a party voto. The proceeditg s ensnomalousone in view of the present situa- tion in Arkansas, for it cannob now bo doubted that Baxtor is de jure and de facto GQovernor, and ho has been 8o rocognized by the Executive branch of the National Governmont. The Tlouso is evidently impolled by o desire to send out & plensure oxoursion at publio oxpouse, or elao it has becomo o fatuous as to invite n con- flict botwoen Congross and the Presidont. If the intention really was to discover the condition of Southern State Administrations, the Houso could not have done botter than accept M. Eldredge's amendwent, by which South Caralina was included within' the scopo of the Commit~ tee's powers. [ —— A profound indignation was occasionod in Tockford yosterday on the arvival of tho Chieago Times, whioh contained & vile story affecting the social standing of soveral prominent resi- deuts of that city. The allegations made woro false; but, If fhoy Lad beou truo, their obscene and absolutely filthy naturo would have kept them out ot tho Polics Gazetle, or tho vilest print of thatilk published in tho country, ‘Thoy could have found laght nowhore oxcept iu the Chicago Times, Our corrospondont iu Rookford Rays that tho Indignation in that olty over tho libel is intonso, and that iho paper will forevor bo ex- cludod from respectablo famillos in that vielnity, Respectable families that have boen toking the Dimes doservo what thoyget for tholr pains, Ag well admit s bawdy book to & place in o pub- lelibrary as such a poper in tlio houschold, It hag long boen that no respectable woman in Chi- cago would be secn reading & copy of the Zimes.

'Che meoting, as wo Leor, was hold at tho Sherman Houso, In a room on the uppor floor, lute ab night. Among tho cditora prosont wero Ed. Mersltt, of the Springfield Regisler, Whittaker Davideon, of the Lowiston Dermocrat, Clay, of tho Carrollton Gaselte, Drown, of tho Joliet Signal, and holf & dozen othors, Mr, Heslng atrongly advocated o reorganization of the pmty, moylng that tho Domo- oratio party was the ouly one whioh oould koop down the puritanical element, sl guarantes the postllnr freodoin e G Ho nd no faith in an Inde- pondent party, and promised, if the Domo- oratio party wore plnced upon its feot again, to give it all the Gorman votos, fooling confldont that it would carry the State in tho noxt goneral olectlon by 85,000 majority, Somo of the oditors favored the pmpnmiqu, and others did mot, bocause thoy did not considor it feastblo, Homo of tho oditors exprossed tho opinion that auy attompt to roorganize the Domooracy was only amove to holp the Ropublican party, by proveuting tho union of all the elomenta of tho oppoeition. Aftor a long chat, it was finally dotermined to await the action of tho TIndepond- ont Convontion to be hold in Bpringflold Juno 10. L ——— THE REMOVAL OF CLUSS, Presidont Graut takes care that no rovival of confldenco iu him shall last very long. Bcearcely has his voto of inflation olioited enthuslsstis thanks from mon at the North who caro for the national honor, scarcely has his recognition of | Baxtor aroused tho ndmiration of ‘meu of tho Bouth who long for etcape from the domin- don of plundering carpot-baggors, when Grant takes pains to remind honost and decont oltlzons overywhore, by his romoval of Oluss, that he I8 the same Preaidont Who appointed Suephord, and .hng obst- natoly kopt him in oflice; who appointed and still retains Richardeon, in spite of tho Sanborn rascalitios ; who appointed Murphy and rowarded his misbehavior with a publio lot- tor of compliment ; who sont Loet to Now Yorl, and kopt him in ofilco aftor his wholosale plun- der had boon proved; who sustained Cossy whon convicled of ountragoons misconduct, and re- warded him by reappointment ; who keops in offico Postmaster Filloy, of 8t. Louis, convicted of & 5 per cont assessment of his clorks, Snwyor and Banflold, convicted of partiolpation in the Sanborn * awindlo, Schonck with his *Lit- tle Emma” job, Robeson with his Socor job, and Creswoll _with his Chorpon- ning job. Othor honora Grant Tony from timo to timo eamn, or scom to have earned. But, in ono respect, his pre-eminence nmong Presi~ donta will bo undisputed ; one honor he Las achioved which bolongs to no prodecossor in that high office, and which he seoms determined not to loso.—he will bo known in history as tho American Prosident who nover failed to dofond an official who was aconsed of misconduct. The American people, witha little of tho French morcurial tompor, and pronencss to forgot tho erimes of yoatorday in tho glorles or promises of i{o-dny, stands vory muoh in nced of just such froquent romindors as Grant gives them. Two months ago, noarly the wholo in- telligent and Lionest portion of tho Republican party was at the point of open rovolt againgt this londer who had dragged it into such disgraca. Banborn's frands, Shepherd's ‘moasuroments, moiety rascalities in chiof commoroial cities, tho appointmont of Bimmons and the general favor of Butlerism about the Adminiatration, the sal- ary-grab and the appointment of Bingham Min- futer to Japan, tho disgraco of Cramor, tho shame of the Exposition at . Vienna, all lod contributed to disgust * tho bottor men of tho Republican party with Gront, aud made 1t ripo for political rovolution, Thon camo the voto, as wolcomo us it was unexpected, and after it tho recognition of Baxtor. Suoh was the roncbion of fooling which theso to acts produced that, for the moment, Prosidont Great roally appearod to have rogained the entire confl- dence of the very mon who had been most dis- gusted with his administration, aud was ocon- wured only by the least worthy olements of his ownand of other parties—bys speculators and baukrupts, demagogues nnd ropudiatars. The eminently rospectablo gentlemen of Massachu- solts soomad to forget that Grant hed fortified Butlor with hiapatronage, #o ovorjoyod were they that tho voto had made-ibfation impossible, Tho solid morchunts of New York sesmed roady to forgive all tho robborics and blackmallings por- potrated by Gront's subordinates, in their joy because rapudintion was checked. Tho property- owniug citizons of the South scomed willing to believe that Grant could now be trusted abso- lutely and forever, bocause he bad sot asido in Arkuosas & usurper who hed been a Liberal condidute, to sustain Baxter who had becomo Governor by tho same frauds which gave the olectoral vote of the Btato to Grant, Did thoy forget the xecomt jnsult to o committeoe of tnx-payera from South Caroline, or 2the work of Brother-in-law Crsoy and his Gatling gunsin Loulsiana? In- doed, auch was the popular tompor that o third term scomed pomsible. Something was neoded toremind tho country what mannor of man it was that they wore about to restore to, unlimited confldence, The Presidont himsolf has taken care fosupply that xemindorin the removal of Clusa, Wo strain the trath nowhere whon we #ay that 10 othor American Administration has ever boen wmixed up with so dirty s pleco of ‘business a4 this menagomontof the Board of Pub- lic Works in tho District of Columbia, The appointment of Cooke ‘was a scandal, bo- causo the Prosident must have known that tho position would inevitably give the Govornor enormoug power to favor the banlk in which ho was interested. But when tho bank had failed, tho Government having lost by the failure, and Coolko had withdrawn from offico, with & dogreo of respoct for tho deosnoies of public life which Rickardson, BSawyer, Banfleld, Cros- well, Robeson, Casoy, or Bhophiord him- self would now do well to imitato, tho Yresidont solected ns Govornor the man whoso littlo finger had beon thickor than his predecessor’s loing, Of the disgusting soandals which bave rosulted from this mout scandalous sgolection, the country ncods no more farther in- formation, Ifother proof ls neaded to logally conviot Gov. Bhiopherd of willtul partlcipation in frauds, no other ia needed to convince all in- telligont roadors that ho disgracos his position, aud would be, instantly removed by any Prosic dont who had respect for publio opinion, Yot, instead of removing him, the Presidont nctuslly insults Congress by romoving the only memhor of tho Board of Public Works who Lad beon Lonest enough to testify agalnat him, ‘Cho truth fs that Prosident CGrant hus no re- apoct for publio opinlon, o hos outraged it ro- poatedly ovor since iy firut eleetion, aud the poople thomeclvos have taught him to bellave that hio can do #o with absplute impunity, They have porsuaded him that ho may txb\mplo upon the luw, a8 ho has done so ofton—in taking monoy from the Treasury without appropriation by Congress; that ho may defy the Coustltue tion—as his &id in tho Ban Domingo business ; that ho may tramplo upon the rights of Btatos—na ho Ald in tho Loulsiaus business ; that hio msy openiy league with the most notori- ous swindlers in palitionl lifo—ny with Batloy, Csmoron, Murphy, aud Kollogg; tbfthnmny eurround himaslf witha donse atmosphers of oprxuphion and froud| aod aae ke Wil never | theloen have power to control convontions and oloctions.

THE ‘WISOONSIN RAILROAD WAR, Our ronders havo acon the oplutons of Evarts, Curlis, Carpentor, and Bloan on the railway log- Ialation of Wisconsin, Mfasors, Evarte and Our Ha, the counsol of the Companios, are of opinion that the lnw {s unconsiitutional, sinco it reduces tho rates of faroand froight so low that the Compantos, woro they to oboy it, could operato thelr roads only at & loss, and would be unablo to poy tho interest on tholr bonded indobtedness, Mossrs, Carponter and’ Slaan do not agroe with Messra, Curtis and Evarts. Thoy maintaln that the law is conatitutlonal, aud seom to think that it is quite irrolovant to the quostion whother ornot the Companios would bo submitted to pocuniary loss by complying with its provisions. Now, neithor Carpontor nor Sloan moet tho only ques- tion in tho controvorsy frankly, falrly or fully, Tho quostion is not whether the Logialaturo of Wisconsin can altor or ropeal the charter of o rallway corporation. On thia point there can be no differcuco of opinton. Hero Curtis, Evarts, Carpostor and Slosn egreo, and must agreo, for tho law on tho nfat- ter is 98 plain as the noso on = man's faco. Tho roal question is not whother the chartors of the ratlway corporations moy be altorod or ropealed ; but, whether the altoring ‘and ropealing o quostion may bo accompanied by oonflscation of property, real or virtual, Lvarts and Curtiesay not. Carpenter and Bloan euy thoy may. Assuming that tho roprosenta- tions of the Railway Corporations ara true, and that the Wisconsin logiulation in question hus roduced tho rates so that the roads can be operated only at a loss, we think that Evarts and Curtis are right, Carpenter and Sloan wrong, The Legislaturo of tho BStato of Wisconsin cannot take from raflway companios more than it gave them. It can take away or modify that intaugiblo right, the in- corporonl franchiso, which it gave thom, to becomo common carriers. It cannot tako away more than this, It cannot doprive thomof a yard's. tongth of rail, of a whool of their ear- ringes, of an ongino or s cow-catoher, without duo compensation. Ropeal or modify ss it may, ic hos not'the right to ateal. It cannot put its hand into tho pockets of the stockholdors and tako o dollar out of them. Itcannot com- pol tho atadiholders to run tho roads for tho benefit of tho travoling public at & loss to thom- solves, Tho rights of proporty are sacrod, even in ‘‘blontod -bondholders.” Railway ro- form is noedod, but tho way to it is not through spoliation, and if Mr, Carpontor thinks it ia through guch an nvenuo tho peoplo desire to roach reform he is very muoh mistaken, When tho Logielature of Wisconsin charters & corporation to run a forry botweon two points on opposito sides of a river, it grants only & right— o franchise. Tho ocorporators, or atockholders, build bonts, or buy them, hire hands, end go to work, The right to run the boats is all that the Btate has granted. Itisall it can toke away or modify.' I'ho boat belongs to the stockholders. The Stato cannot take it from thom, To tako it away would be to take property without compensation; and this common sents, com- mon law, and common justico, =8 woll a3 the constitution of every Btato in the Union, forbid. The logislation of Wisconsin may modify or repesl the chartors of corpora~ tlons organized under its laws, but in so doing it must gavo tho proparty-rights of its cltizens, confiscate’ nothlng, invalidate no contract over tho torms of which it did not reserve to itsolf any powor—the contracts of the road with its ‘bond-owners for instance, The power to ropeal or modify ohartors re- tained by the Wisconsin Constitution oxtends not only to raflway chorters, but to lifo and fire-insurance companics’ chartors,—to all charters in fact. Is it meant that the Loglslature may compel tho Northwestorn M- tual Life Insurance 'Company, of Milwau- koe, for instanco, to issue its policies on such torms as to prevent its paylng its losacs occasioned by doath? Or may a Wisconsin shawl-manufacturing corporation be compelled 1o soll Ita shawls at such o rate as to cripplo tho institution itsolf and eat up it capital? Evi- dontly thoro is 2 right way and & wrong wayto offoct railway reform,—and Messrs. Carpenter end Sloan geem to favor tho wrong way.. THE FORGERY CASE, The cago of the man arrosted on Tuesday for attompting to pass upon tho Morchants’ National Bank o forgod draft purporting to bo signed by Mr. Aloxander Holland, Treasurer of tho Amori- can Express Compauny, is & remarkablo one. This man presentod bimsolf porsonslly at the Dank, roprosenting that he was Mr. Holland, and- that ho wiehod to transfer $200,000 of the Company's funds, aud to have 894,000 of this sum poid him at once, the rest to remain to his credit. He bnd tho day previously writton to Mr. Kovon, the Cashier of tho Merchante’, etating his satentions and wishes. This letter Mr. DeKoven lind submlttod to Mr. Fargo of ths Express Com- pany, who had pronounced it & forgery. Whon tho man appeared on Tuesdsy at the Merchants' National, the officers ware prepared to treat him a8 a forgor. Coolly and collectodly he went through the operation of signing the draft, at- taching to hls signature tho ofielal designation of Troasurer of tho Express Company. *Ho was sarrosted, and soon after was confronted with M, Fargo, That officer at onco assumoed that ho know the man, that his name was Livingaton, and that he was insano. Subsoquently, after in- quiry by telegraph, he discovored ihnt he did not know the man, but adbored so stronuously to the theory that thie total etranger was insane that tho man was pormitted to go free. Thore {u o mystory about this whole procood- ing. The fact of the false porsonatfon, and of the actual forgery, and of the utterance of forged papor, is coucedod. The evidence of tho orimo waa therefore completo, Insanity s a fact 10 be establishod, a3 all other facts aro, by evidence, If tho man were insane, ho should Linvo beon treated ns on insano person, Tho law provides a mothod by which his insanity can be tosted by the County Court and a jury. But tho faot that this mau committed a forgery, by o ekillful [mitation of the siguaturo of the Treasuror of the Express Company, 4o discrodits tho theory of insanity that the least the/ examining Magiatrato could heve dono was to havo sont . him for trial to the Criminal Qourt, Rx.
