Ono of the Senate amendments to the Moiety bill excopts from the operation of the law sunits pending on the 1st of Bley., It is = singular roiccidonco that the famous sult agalust Jor- #an, Marsh & Co. was instituted on the day montioned. Many Congressmon found out, bo- fore the Mojoty bill got through the Senato, that informers have some rights which the Gov- prument is bound to respoct. Perhaps it is not worth while to inquiro how this discovery was miade, The presumption s that it was not a re- ault of original resenrch. The Convention of Cotton Exchanges in Au gusta, Ga,, yostorday, was sn admirablo gather- Jog. Tho work to be done had boen digested provious to tho mocting, and thero was manifest throughout s disposition to attend to the ob- fects wpocified in the call for the Convention, Joaving other mundsne affalrs to be regula- tod by porsons dosignated for that work, Itis surpriging how clear and straightforward all business men bocome when they talk busineas, sud how muddy and incoberent many of them are whon thoy attempt to eettle a simplo aues- tion in political coonomy. = Baldle Beiley is tho name of & young lady from Waukogan who intruded herself in the Abolition Convention yosterdsy, and made a harangue in favorof fomale suffrage.

Thore s no improvement in tho aspoct of French affaira, Tho parlizmentary traln from Poris to Versailles rarely loaves or departs without somo disordorly demonstration by its rocord by taking actlon on living issues, It was not called for that purpose. Its pro- ominent virtuo has beon that it revived no old ontagonisms and excited no bitter feclings. A departure from this policy may possibly be mado to-day, tho Civil Rights question baving been intraduced aud sent to & committaea. Senator Thurman is in favor of any bill for the sottlemont of the currency queation that will {induce the peoplo to stop talking about the kind ©f money thoy are going to use, and lead thom to work for suoh wonoy as they caun get, This sounds protty, but iv is, after all, fallacious, Tho poople have worked during sl tho time thut has beon wasted by Congross in financial logislation. Tho people have no choice, Thoy must work or starvo, What they waut I8 such action by Con- gross 88 will ineure tho payment of wagesin good money. Ar, Thurman may dismiss any spprohension that the poople will talto a vaca- sion until Congresa arranges tho finances, buthe ey ronsonably fear, as ho does, that the peaople may come to some tarrible pay-days if the coun- wols of Logan and Morton prevall. Mr, Garflel Oivil Servico Appropriatione blll yostordsy sn item of §7,000 to reimburse Gen. Howard for oxponsea incurred in his defonse befors the Mil- ftary Court of Inquiry. A quick-witted membor remarked that President Johnson's oxpoutod in tho Impoachmont trial wore not paid out of the Treasury. This stoggered Mr, Gar~ flold, and the mattor was informally lald aside to give him an opportunity of “looking up the faw " which would justity tho proposed actlon. It I8 to be Suoped that Gen, Howard s not rospousibloe for this ox- traordinary performauce by Mr, Garfleld, Al though unanimously acquitted of corrupt deals Ings, he oannot afford to como bofora tho coun- try at present ou a plea of persecutlon, The Qlicago produce markets wore very fr- rogular yosterdsy, and grain was unsottled, with ok Joes business dolng, Mess pork wae quiet sud B per brl highor, olosing at 317.60@17.56 cash, and $17.773@17.80 soller August, Lard way quiot snd o shado firmer, closing st $11,05@ 110 per brl cash, aud @IL12@11.16 gellor July.

The inforonce from those scencs 18 that tho recent dobatos {n tho Assembly betweon the Dona- nnpartists and $ho Ropublicans have resulted disnstrously to tho Inttor. It is onsy to under- stand how this may have boon the cose. The Ropublicans talked loudly and violently; the Bonapartists maintained & vigorous defenso. Tho ono party was 8o rash as to mark ont & positivo programmo, whilo tho othor talked grandiloquently of vaguo blossings that are withhold from tho peoplo by the democratic tondonclos of tho presont Administration, Tho situation in Franco hns nover boon graver sinco {he rotiroment from ofifee of AL Whiersthen it is to-day. Mr, Morton submitted the Compromiso Cur- rency bill fo tho Sonate yostordey, Io ssid it was based on tha theory that tho & percont bonds in which logal-tendor notes are made redoemablo will have approciated to par by tho 18t of January, 1878. Sherman supportoed thebill 1In his opinlon it will effect & gradual roturn to specle paymionts, and that is what the country wants, Logan would vote for the bili, though it did not meet bis,viows. Jones, Morrill, and Fro- linghuyson are still unroconciled. Thoy will voto against tho bill. Without coming to & vote, tho Sonate adjournod. Tho dobate of yostorday indicates that the bill will pass both Houses by Iargo votes, and that it will bo votood by the President. Thialastcon- clusion, however, is open to much doubt. Jones has gono dead ngalnst tho compromise, but Jonon ia nat the Prosident. If Gen. Grant has had tho firmuess to oppase his political party friouds, ho may ousily havo tho firmness to opposo Joues. Tho pressure brought to bearupon the President by the party managors will bo vory groat, and, sinco the compromido is really a gront conces- sion, ho may bo induced to give it his approval. e r. Boutwoll is very caroful not o pursuo a aourso in the Senato that will reflect credit upon himself or the State which bo roprosents. When the Compromise Currenoy bill was reported yes- tordny, he intimated strongly that s roturn to specto-paymont in 1878, for which tho bill pro- vidos, is a moral impossibility. Ho said that tho Sonate was nekod to do o thing threo yoars lenco which it did not dare to donow. This languago may mesn somothing or nothing. If the object of Mr, Boutwoll was to conciliate opposing factions in tho Bomats, he mieged it by a long way, He does not sean to have been guided by a consuming desire for the salvation of the party, nor to have had any defi- nito plan of his own inview, The troublo with Mr. Boutwell; is tbat hohas beon Scerotary of tho Trensury, and fools it to boa duty to opon out his knowlodge-box when financial quostions are undor considoration. In doing this ho makes a sad mistake, The peoplo of Mussuohusotts did not send him to tho Senato on sccount of any exalted notions of his ability as a finncier, but rathor to relieve him of an office which ho could ot il to his own eredit or tho satisfaction of tho country, THE INDIANA FARMERS’ CONVENTION. Wo regret that the Convention hold at In- dinunpolis on Wedneadny last should have taken positions substantially in accord with the Pon- dloton horesy of 1868, viz., payment of tho 5-20 bonds in greonbacks, and such dopreciation of tho curronoy a8 would lead to repudiation of tho groonbacks themselves. The platform botrays & complote misunderstanding of the naburo of money, aud illustrates moro forcibly than any- thing else wo have seen the bad education whiok the presonco sod uve of an irredeomnblo cur- ranoy engenders. Twelve yoars ago tho In- diana farmer Wwho should have proposed to out loose nltogother from specie would bavo boen looked on by his ncighbora as #gracked.” Now, it appoars that a convention of nearly a thousand persons can como togother and resolve to do this verything, Theyars none the Joss **oracked " by reason of thelr numbors, To sny that tho roalization of their wishes a8 ox- prossed in thowr platform would produce diroruin and confusion, industrial, social, and political, is to feebly churacterizo its cortain rosults. Nover- theless thoy have but put into torseand com- pact form tho toachings of Senator Morton, and the conclusions of Souator Pratt, and the votes of most of the Indians reproscatatives during the prosont scssion of Congress, It is dificult to seo how the Ropublican parly of that Stato can do less, without putting tho sosl of their condemnatlonon Morton, aud it is quite impos- sible that they should do moro, unloss they do- claro outright that thoy are in favor of ropudiat- iug that portion of the public debt roprosented by tho 5-20 bonds and tho greenbacka. Tt spponrs to us that that portion of tho peo- plo of Indiana who aro roslly in favor of specio payments—who boliovo in lovoliug the curreucy up to por instoad of leveling it down to zoro— owo it to thomsolves nnd to thelr country to hold a convention, after the organized partics bLave held tholrs, and put o platform and o tlokot in the flold, Tt ms oo how many porsans there are who favor sn honeat payment of dobts, publo and privato. We think tbe numbor will bo somowhat surprising ovon in Indiana. DBat, whother fow or mny, lot tho divieion Lo mado. et all who are for fulfitliug the promiso mude by the Gov- orpment that it would rodoom its grooubacks— its demand notes—got on on ono side. And lot all who are opposed to fulfllling that promise got on tho othor kido, or split up into as many [rag- ments a8 they choose, The Illinols Convention, which met on tho enme day, strovo to avold tho pitfall fnto which their Indlana brethreu stalked.

It is to bo hioped that Indiana will not be given ovor to the foll spirit of ropudiation which lurke 1o the platform of the Indiauspolis Conventlon without a protest. REPUBLICAN OOUNTY CONVENTIONS. If tho Republican party is to carry Iilinols noxt Novembor, it is stranga thnt it should nob bo able to got enough men now to fill up its county conventions to rome respoctablo size. If ita whilom votors do not onre anything about the nominations now, thoy will not bo apt to caro much about them horeaftor. Such apathy has nover boon seon in Illinols before, Wo appond a fow typleal casos : Rock Island County gave Grant 1,078 majority ovar Greoloy. It has ninotoon towny, Its Ro- publican Conventlon, Juno 8, contained dologates from just two of tho nineteon. Zvon the fow men thors managed to quarrel, howevor, and the Convention adfourned in o row. Dispatchos from Carliuville say that tho Re- publican Convention of Macoupin County, which gave Grooloy 164 mefority, met “with only throo-fifthy of tho townships represontod.” McLoan County gave Grant 2,610 majority. Its Convontion, Juno 9, containod dologates from only 13 out of 20 townships. Will County gavo Grant 2,276 majority. On June 10, 12 out of 23 towns sent delogatos to the Ropublican County Gonvention, Winnebago County gave Graut 2,768 majority. Tho dispatches givo this picturo of the Convon- tion that met at Rookford, Juno 10: A sort of golomn farce was enaoted horo to-day. . . . Nino of the 16 outlying towns sont in no dolo- gatos, while Roefford was ropresonted by thirty dologates olected at Monday's caucus by an ag- grogato voto of 130, There was & fight over the nominations, and a split is threatoned. Hamilton County indorsed Greoloy by & ma- Jjority of 813. A “vory ::mnll but respoctable™ Couvention—it is in thia way that the prees da- seribes tho boggarly audionco that groots an un- popular lecturer—assembled and did ite bost to make the Opposition majority larger by nomi- nating John A, Logan for Prosidont in 1876, ‘Wo havo oxact dotails of four out of thoss six Conventions, The four conntios thoy represont- ed gave Grant au sggregate mnjority of 8,621 ovor Grooley. Thoy contain, togethor, 87 towns. Of thoso, just 24 sent dologates to the Conven- tions. Tho fact corrios its own moral. It noods 10 comunent ) ADAMS ON THE.RAILWAY QUESTION. In = lettor dated Quincy, Mass., June &, 1874, and markod by his usual ability, Mr, Oharles Francis Adams, Jr., oxposcs big viewa on the MeCrary bill, which passed the Houso of Repro- gontatives on tho 26th of March, and which is now in the bands of tho Sonate Committec of which Mr, Windom is Chairman, The lotter is addressed to Sonator Windom. The MeCrary bill, it will bo remombored, like tho filinols and Wisconsin Rallway laws, is iutonded to rogulate the cost of travsportation by rail. The polut in | common to 3cCrary's bill and the railway legisla- tion of Wisconsin and Ilinow is that all throo would delogate to -a Board of Commissionors tho rogulation of rail- way tariffs, tho McCOrary bill doing for tho railroads of the whole country what tho Wiscon- sin and Ilinols Iaws would do for theso two Statos rospoctively. It would create & board, composed of nine public officials, with power to rovise the tariffs mude by the railwaya them- solves,~an appeal from their decisions to lio to tho potit juries of the country. Iustead of this bill, Mr. Windom, in & sfooch delivered on May 24, proposed tho creation of o Bureau of Com- mores, to acoumulate siatistics with a view to futuro action on the railway problom. Mr. Adams, who has bad a veory large expori- enco 88 a Stato Rallroad Commissioner, —largor, ho thinks, than any other man in Amorica, having boon one of the original appointees cn tho Masanchusetts Doard aud having been continued upon itup to this time,—thinks tha: nofther McCrary’s bill nor Bonutor Windom's suggestion 18 calenlated to romedy tho ovils growing out of our prosent systom of railroad mausgement. McCrary goes too far; Windom not tar onough. MoCrary's s o *do-everything policy™; Windom's a ‘*do- nothing poliey.” Mr, Adams thinks tho Mc- Craty proposition impossiblo of applieation,—o point in which wo fully agree with him. Itis impossible, ho anys, for any nine mon, no matter what thoir honesly or oxperionco, to investizato the affairs of all the railroads in the country, or properly to roviso all the railrond tariffs in tho Unitod Btatos. And, even if thoy could do this, Mr. Adoma claims thoy woula not yot have reachod the root of tho trouble. The existing difticulty with the rallroads ho considors tho nutursi out- growth of our wholo theory and aystom of rail- rond construotion, and ho maintains it cannot bo oradicatod unless wo aro prepared to goto the longth oven of upsotting the systom itsolf. The McOrary bill secks to securo to tho public 2l the benofits of compotition without any of its burdona—which is an inpossibilily. The Commissioners appointed undor it would find themselves forcod to bo oithor tyranni- oal or abaurd, eince thore would bo neither principle nor procedent to guido thom, ‘Wero thoy to sottloeach cuso on its own merits, thoy would ore long involve thomsclves Ina cloud of apparent inconmsistencles for their cnomies to revel in, aud the public would bo moro befogged than ovor, Mr. Windom's sug- gostion, on the other hand, is dofective in that it providea for no Commission-at all; look- ing as it doos only to the acoumulation of statistios, and not protonding oven to bring the offloinls in contect with the difficultics of tho position. Buch Leing the character of Mr, McCrary's bill, and such {ha churacter of Bonator Windom's proposed aubstitute, Mr, Adnms proposes that, instead of groping in the dark, the country should walk in tho light of Massachusctts’ exporienco. The Massachusotts Commission f{a or- gonizod, ho says, on & principle which no othor Btato has imilated, nnd steors mid~ way batwoon the *do-ovorything polloy” of tho MeCrary bill and the **do-nothing™ polioy suggested in fe, Windom's speech, Tho funo- tions of the Masseobusotts Commission aro simply adviaory, to tho Loglelature on tho ono lnnd ond to tho railronds on tho othor. The Commigsioners are authorizod only to listen, {uvesilgato, and rocommend, Complaints againet the railrond corporations are made to the Com- miesionery, They sre oxamined; tho partles interested ara Lieard; aud, finally, tho complaints nro olthor dismissod or bocomo the busis of a rocommeondation medo to the corporation or to tho Stato Govornment, Tho recommonda- tion of the Commissloners carries no wolght ox~ copt what Is duo to iis roason, justice, and tho forco of publio oplnion which asupporta it Tho Meesachusotts Ralltosd Commisslon gorves moroly as a medlnm for tho con- contration of thla public opinion, and public opinlon has always wado itsolf folt iu tho roguiation of roads, Mr, Adamn aaya that n gront mistako {s mado In undorestimating the forco of publio opinion in tho mattor of railroad managomont, Logislation should not bo too wantonly rosorted to, It ia moro offootive whon held in rosorvo than whon put in use, More- over, loglalation is not noodod, if it bo truo, ns hio Baya, that **Thore s no railroad corporation ntho United States which to-day would dare to porsist in any fiagrant abuso of its privileges in tho faco of n colm, intelligont, sud woll-rensonod romonstrance from any authorized publio tribu- nal.” . Ho far, Mr. Adams' exporienco. Ho bolloves, howaver, that intho futuron closor relation must grow up botwoen tho Btate and the raflroad systom. But, ponding the final solution of tho difficulty, he rocommonds, instead of the McOrary bll}, o measuro— Qrgantzing n Commisston fn tho Dopactment of the Interdor, the first duty of which atinll bo to collect statlstics and information on every point connected with transportation by mll, snd clotied with all noc- essary nhthority fo that end, I would noxt imposo upon it tho duty of investigating all regularly-prosentod complaints preferred to it againat intor-Slata ratlzoad corporstions on matters not provided for by law, giv~ sought after all ovor tho world, Al theso men tavored spooific dutios, With thom, thoy could mnko tholr calouiations with grostor cortainty, wonld run loss risk, and could thoroforo soll more chioaply, ‘Thifa ia n wolghty body of opinfon.

Tho loast thot can bo said in its favor is that 1t is oxceadingly suggostive. With the Wisconsin and ovon Iilinols leglelation Mr. Adams has little sympathy, Whatover may bo thought of his views on the railway question in goneral, it is ap- parent thot ho has shown good reasons why the MecCrary bill slionld not biocomo a law. THE TARIFF ON 8TEEL. Ono must go sway from homa to hoar the homo nows. Wo find, in tho Economiste Fran- cais, tho fullest roport of tho discussion on the stool-tariff boforo the Committoo of Ways and Moans that hos reachiod us. No Amorigan paper, to our lmowlodge, has given it at such length. ‘Wa have partly translated, partly adaptod, partly condonsea the report, and have added to it some faots aud comments of our own. Tho question before the Committoe was, ‘whother the racent reduction of 10 per cont in the duties on stcol should bo rotained or re- voked, and whother the duties should be ad valo- rem, o8 now, or sposifie. Both sides wore heard. The champions of Protoction wished the duties to bo put at tha old figura and to bereckonad ad valorem. Bofore the' year 1860, they said, tho posability of manufacturing steol in this coun- try hind not boon proved. Slnco that yoar, and espocinlly sinco the increaso in the dutics, this industry lag been Jargoly dovoloped. Itis roprosonted by thirty-four ostablishinonts, sit- unated in nino States, Thoy omploy thousands of hands and use o capital of millionaof dollars. Tu 1878 thoy produced 44,000 tovs of stecl, 7,700 of which was of tho best quality. During the fiseal yenr ending Juno 80, 1878, 21,000 tons— 9,100 of which wore of tho highest grado—woro imported, Tho steol-mmakers argued that thoir manulactories would be closed, their capital siide tissproduobive, i amplayes: theownon | UIRe0s betwoon naw - aud ';“ middls of work, if tho tariff wore cut down—nay, that of July, wilt nr?pnnud And; -aiaciss, il flm great questions which lhave both- all this might bappen (some of thom doclared it would cortainly happon) if the tariff were not rawed to its old figures, Thoy opposed tho chango from ad valorem to apecifio dutics,~—that is, from a tax of a cortain percentage of tho value of the imporfed article to s fixed tax por ton on all valuos, bocauso this would result in raiging tho dutics on the inferior grades ot imported stecl. Theso inferlor grades afein gront domand in Ameries, capeaindly for agricul- tural implements. Therofore, thoy should not o honvily taxed, Mdreover, only & small num- ‘Dor of tho users of staoel wished low duties upon it. In support of this last aseortion, thoy pro- duced s memorinl signed by 600 manufacturors and dealers in steol. Boforo sketching the testimony of the be- liovors in revenue roform, itis worth while to roview this argument of the high-tariff men. Thoy argaed that imported steel should bo heavily taxed, because, wbile it has beon so taxod, the Amorlcan-mada article has boen pro- ducod in groat quantities, But tho country has paid moro for tho samo quantity than it would havo done had thore beoen no Trotection. In this Iatter case, tho capital and tho labor that have been used in produciug stool srould have produced tho goods that would have oxchanged for the steol. Tho money could bave beon used ; tho mean could have been employad ; aund wo would have got our steol cheaper in the ored the world for ages, and will settle them~—to tholr own satisfaction and tho amuse- mont of the old heads in tho auditoriums who goveup tho conundrums yearssgo.

Out of il this touching, and protty, and com- jeal turmoil of Commencement-Day will un- doubtedly come many disappointments.
