Tho first years of his pro- fensional careor wero devoted to railroad en- gineoring, in which capacity he gained much valuablo exporionce and some distinction.

Perhaps tho most important item of nows this morning is that the Doputios of tho Loft Liave decided, in wiow of the recent votes, not to press e dissolu~ tion, believing that thoy can moouro tho cstab- lishment of & Ropubl Tho Oregon Logislaturo clact: compares with tho lnst Logislnturo aa folldis : 1872.- Sen. 1io 10 17 Tolal......d 40 Tho lsst Logislnturo (1872) eleoted Hipple- Mitcholl to tho Uunited BStatos Sonate. That Logislaturo stood : 44 Republicans to 27 Oppo- sition. Now it is: 27 Republicans to 44 Oppo- sition, Only that proponderanco of Ropubli- cau Btate Sonators, olected in 1873, hold over, tho showing for the Republicans would bo even worae. It is oxpectod that the now Legislaturo, tomeet ln Boptember, will formally sct bofore tho Senato, next wintor, somo roasons against Hipple-Mitcholl not unlike those which ultimato- 1y prevailod against Caldwell, of Kansna. The 8t. Louis Globe has evincod the utmost solicitudo respocting tho course to bo adopted by tho Iilinois Ropublican Convention on the subjaot of inflation or resumption. Tho Globe wants to preservo tho integrity of the party in tho coune try, and opposes any declaration for inflation which will put the party m Illinols in open con- fliot with tho Prosident and with tho Ropub- licaus of 8o many othor States. Among tho ron~ sous given why this Convontion in Illinols will bave moro than ordinary significance is that it istho first held sinco the veto, and it is to bo lield in a Btato whero reside tho most conspic- uous of tho President's opponents, and whoro tho Prosident himaolf rosides, Tho proposition to rologato tho currency question to the Con- grossional districta is troatod as a cowardly ovasion, MMr, Logan and Mr, Oglesby lnving forced this curroncy issuc on the party, the parly must moot the quostion by indorsing either the resumption polioy of tho Prosident or tho in- tlation policy of Mr. Logan, The Globe sayu: Wo would sooner, pronounced resumptionists ax W aro, go into the cunvass oxyresaly pledgod to au in- defiuite pontponement of resumptlon, than with o hermaphroditio pltforn, carrying our tails botween our legs, and cringing altko beforo iuflationists sua contractlonists, assuring tho Presidont that wo wero witl hiz, and telegraphing Mr. Logon to go in and win, The Farmors’ Convention rofused to bo ox- plicit ou this question, and madon misorable failure, Will the Republican Convention imitate the examplo, or, profiting by it, make s falr and square declaration in favor of the polioy of tho Prosidont ? e, CARPENTER’S BILL T0 SILENCE NEWS- PAPERS. The Senato of the United States have at Inst completed the record of their contempt for pub- lic opinion, and of their own inordinato arro- gance. Thoy huvo passed a bill by which any newspaper, having an authorized correspondont or agent in any State or Territory, or the District of Columbia, may bo sued in any Fedoral Court having jurisdiotion ovor the torritory where that correspoudout lives, and bo summoned by sor- vico of process upon this correspondont, ageut, or othor porson having businoss relations with tho newepapor. Two years ago, tho corrupt Ring in the District of Columbin sought to supprosa nowspaper oriticiem by having criminal procoss issued from a potty court in Washington City, nand, under that process, to arrest proprictors of newspapors in any part of the United States, toko them to Washington, and, by summery pro- coeding, couviot and imprison them, Thiy echome failed, howover, the Foderal Court of Now York declaring that the process of the Dis- trict of Oolumbia did not oxtend to New Yorlk. Sonator Curpentar and Senator Conkling bave, with the mid of thirty-one other Republican Sen~ ators, provided a measuro even moro infamous than that proposed bythe Ring at Waehington City. They havo passed a bill which will suthor- izo any Sonator, Ropresentative, Olark, or other oflleiul at Washington, who may be charged with official crime or’ turpitudo, or whoso conduct may be criticised by any newspaper in tho coun- try, to instituto suit for libel ngainst tho pro- priotors of such newspaper in tho loeal courts of Washington City, to be tried by a jury of their own pimps,—no othor sorvico boivg re- quired than notico to the correspondent or any other employe of the papor who may be there at the time, To defond such auit the proprietora must go to Wasbington, and thovo, in & local court, whicl oxists meraly by Congrossional suf- ferance, and may bo abolished ab any moment, be tried for libel. If auy porson in tho Btato of Florids, or Toxas, or South Carolina, or Xaiue, should be authorized to sell copios of the Ohi- ©ago papera, any poraon in cithor of those Statos focling aggrioved by anything In ono of the Chi- cago papors, by morely giving notica to the doaler in newapapors, may compol the proprie- tora to go down to Florids, or Texas, or Maine, a8 the cago may be, to be tried for libel, To pus tho cano moro diroctly: If Senator Carponter should fool disploased, as Lo doubtless ofton ia, ab something published In a Visconsin papor, instoad ot bringlug sult for libol at hone, inthe courts of that Btate, among tho nequaintances ©of both partios, be may, under this law, lnati- tuto tho suit in o Washington City court, and compol the publisherat Fond du Lno, or Milwaue koe, or Green nny,_ to go down to Washington to be tried beforoe o vourt, which Mz, Curpenterand bis frlonds in Congross may nboligh at their pleasuro, and bofore o jury composed of tho Capitol polics and the Doorkospers of the Bouato, Inthe days of John Adams, Cougrees pansed the notorlous Alien and Sedition Inws, Ono of the provisions of thewo laws was that BO person should write or print suything disrospocttul of the Prosidont or any athor mombor of the Gov- ornmont. Undor theso Iaws & number of por- sous sore indloted, trled, and conyicted of *“uodition" for publishing articlos oaloulated to weaken tho oonfidonco of the pooplo in tho ehare noter aud fitness of tholr publio oflcers, Tne roports of theso trinls are still oxtant, and aro alrong witnosses of tho despotio oharactor of tho legiulation, Ench porson couvioted bocamo a populnr horo, and tho avorthrow of the Adams Adminiatration, which soon aftor ocourred, was followod by the prompt ropeat of tho odious and infamous lawa, Now, sovonty and mora yenrs since that law was roponled, comes Sonator Carpouter and Bon- ator Conkling and thirty-onoe othor Ropublican Bonators, who pass a bill which is oven more in- famous, and is by far moro dangorous to publis liborty, It is a law for tho protection of scoun- drols n office. It fa n bill to protoct tho publie thlovos, the corruptioniats, tho hirolings of monopolists, and jobbors in publio property ; the plunderers of tho Troasury and thoir associatos 1w and out of Congross, from any publicity of their crimes. It isn throat to tho whole pross of tho country that if they in any way oxposo or donounce any porson in offieo, espooially in Con~ gross, for any crimo, thoy shall bo dragged from tholr homes to bo tried by a dopondent court and jury, and be fined and imprisoned, in such sum and for such time, ns Benator Carpen- tor and Sonator Conkling and their associatos’ may dotormino. Qongroas has just vindieatod thoe valucjof the nowapapor press by forciug a Socrotary, and As- aistant-Soorotary, and Bolicitor of the Troasury to rosign, and by tho unnnimous roport of a bill to abolish tho Government of the Dislrict of Columbin. The atmost unanimous repeal of tho Moloty law was tho result of the oxposuro by the press of tho rasenlities aud robborios of Joynoand Sanborn, Had thus Carnentor-Conkling law boon in foro at that timo, Jayno aud Sanborn could Liavo provented tho publication of & singlo word reapecting thoir operations, excopt by tho more courngoous and wealthy nowspapors, which might bo disposed to tako tho chances of froo spooch by forcing the propriotors to como to Washington to bo tried for libel boforo a court which holds its existonce atthe plossuro of o majority in Congress. Congress has movor yob investigatod an offiell ecrimo] uutil it was driven to 'do 8o by tho proms, Congross hos beon compolled to ropoal the back-pay grab becauso of the porsistent do- mands of the pross, The pross roprosonts pub- lio opinfon ; and no msan in Congroas, who is not vuluorablo in person or through his assoclatos, dronds the foarless oxprossion of public opinion, or sooke to suppross it by such an infamous onactmont as this Carpentor-Conkling law for tho punishmont of oriticlsm upon tha public conduct of men kolding office. Wo doubt not that tho peopls of Wisconsin and tho press of that Stato will indiguootly repudiato and do- nounco this moasure, of which a Wisconsin Son- ator is the author, and through whose efforts it hos passod one branch of Congress. That it will not pags tho othor branch ie protty evident, from the fact that the Houso Judiciary Commit toe yestordsy Iaid the bill on the table, — BENATOR LOGAN'S RETURN. Benator Logan, who has supposed Le was rep- rosonting his constituonts in Washington, hs come home to find out whethor his constituents reprosent him, and, if they do not, to fix things 80 that thoy will. The meoting of tho Ropubli- can Convontion is paramount in importanco to any dutios the pooplo expect bim to per- form, and, rather than have tho Republican Convention go wrong on the inflation business, he has dropped all dutics, left bills and reporta to take care of thom- solves, and hurried to Illinois as fast as steam onn bring him, to seo to it that tho hobby ho has boon riding all the session is not domolishod in the houso of tug frlonds, Tho suddeunoss and heste with ho has come indicatos unensiness on his part, and uncertainty as to tho position of his constituonts on the inflation question. To dispol thisuncertainty is a vital point with Sonator Logan. Hocould bear it with a good grace to bave the Republican Convention pass resolu- tiona against slavery and in favor of putting down tho Blaveholders’ Robellion, or oven to sustain tho Prosidont in all his monsures and votoos, oxcept a8 concorns inflation. This has been his pot hobby. Ho has ridden it fast aud bard, and put it through sll sorts of paces to elicit tho applaugo of tho bystandors, o has had on his war-paint aud foathers, and bis war- whoops have beon long, and loud, and froquent, To lave the Republican Convention at this stago of the gamo, after tho Prosident has vetoed any further exhibitions of the hobby, eastain tho voto, would bo to place bim in avery ridiculous light, and to expose both him and his hobby to unscemly merriment. It is highly probable that he may succoed in fixing tho Con- veution o that it will reprosent him, and it is just s probmblo that his conetituents msy fx thiogs so that ho will "not ropresent them. Sonator Logan hos been away long enough to find many changes in tho ranks of the faithful. Some lave openly dosorted. Somo hovo run away aftor strango gods. Some bave grown lukewarm. The Grangor has boen at work in tho party and has left it badly lLioney- combed, Homny put on bis tallest plumo, aud shout hia loudest war-cries, but the rosponses will not bo as luaty and vigorous as of yore, and many 6 warrior whom he left cagor for tho fray ho will fiud with rusted sword and infirm pur- poso, eprinkled with hay-seed and gono to fight- ing railronds. In placo of strongth, unanimity, and aggrossive purpose, Lo will find wonkuass, divislon, and irrosoluteness, Undor these cir- cumatancos, tho viewt of Sonator Lognu is of littlo consequonco. It matters littlo whotlior tho Conventlon indorso Lis courso or not. THE INTERNATIONAL IN ORICAGO, Tho offorts making to organize an English- speaking section of the International Working- men's Ausocintion in this clty aro not ovor-suc- cessful, Awmoricans to tho manner born aro not given to Fourlerism, Baiut Stmonism, or Com- munigm in any of its varlous disgwigos, Our citizons of Irish origin have neither Lere nor olsewhore shown—excopt in very raro and alto- gothor oxcoptional instances—any disposition to Decomo rocruites of the International. And this will always be, a8 loug as the grent body of the Trish belong to and are intlieuced by the Catho- llo Church, than which the Intornationst hna no groator autagoniat, In fact, for various roasons, thore is no considerable portion of tho Englishe opoaking population of this city, and even of this country, who have anything in common with tho Internatioual. At the meeting held i Chicugo on Monday night to organizo an Inglish-sposking sce- tion, there wore, accordingly, only about 100 mon and four womeon prosent, Ar. Fuller, who was cheaen Prosidont of the meeting, =aid that there wero in Ohioago 4,000 or 5,000 Gormans and Boandinavians mombers of tho Ausociation j und, 08 an inducomont to others to joinit, held out ta them as & bait the possibility that if aufls clontly numerous the International might cone trol tho politios of Chicago, send s largo deloga- tion to the Btato Leglslatuve to ropreaent the In.

Hoeductive, in- dood, are thoir protniscs. Thoy would, In tho words of the Presldont of Mouday ovoning's mooting, glvo tho world a set of principlos ap- plicablo to ovory age and country,—principles forming’ an opitome of tho contral idons of Christinnity, and which, carried out, would roor- ganizo social lifo on a truly democratic basis! Oliloago i tho first placo whoro this wondorful traneformation ia to bo effoctod. Tho Internn- tlonal will moot whon it obtains control of tho city politics, and declare that all distinction bo- twoen Mino and Thine is abolished, Loucoforth and forevor. Tho City Tronsuror doubtloss will bo fustructed to honor the drafts of all mom- bors of thio International. A universal docro of divorco, accompaniod by n proclamation that marrisgo {8 an obsolote and barbarous institu- tlon, would follow, and be anothor stop towards reorganizing soclal lifo on a truly domooratic basis, making of it ** an epitomo of Christianity.” ‘Wo do not wonder that some paople take totho Intoruational as tho ossiost and shortest way to woalth, Capital and capitalists thoy cannot en- dure, s0 long as thoy aro not capitalists thom- solvos. But Amoricans will not tako to it.

THE CONGRESSIONAL TERM, We respectfully submit to State and Congres- sional Nominating Conventious, this year, by whatovor namo they may bo called, tho follow- ing: Reesolved, That Congressionsl perlods should bogin and ond with Cougressional cloctions, And whereas jt 18 now provided by law that in 1870, and overy socond yoar thoreaftor, the olactions of Ropresontativs in Congresa shall oocur, in all the Statea, ou the Tuosday after tho first Monday in Novembor ; now, thereforo, the Forty-third Congresa is requested, and tho Forty~ fourth Congross 8 expeated, to preparo the way for tho assombling of the Forly-0fth (or First Reformed) Con- gress on tho first Mondsy in Decomber, 1870, To **prepara the way" it will bo necossary to amond the Constitution; and since, to begin with, somebody’s Congressional term has to bo olipped, s Congress must bo clected, now or horeaftor, with that undorstanding. ‘Tho propo- sition is, simply, that & Congrossional eloction canvass, uuiform over all tho 'cunntry, shall be made upou & Congressional rocord fully com- ploted, and when the poopls have clected a new Congress they sball have it. No more **short sessions ” of an 0ld Congress after the people have clocted a now one, 'The point of doparturo would scom to-bo furnishod by the Novembor oloction of 1876, when, for tho first time in our bistory, Congresmen aro to bo olocted in all the Btatos on ono day.

The Senato traditionally considers itsolfa con- tinuous body—let it so continue. After tho first jog in tho succossion of Houses in 1870, all would bo smooth work again, And further- moro : The country has every reason to hope that “ Butlerism ™ in chiof will not survivo the eloctions of 1874, and that * Butlerism” in de- tail will bo wiped out by tho ecloctions of 1876. Wenroat theond of & succession of ignoble Congrosses, such s have bosn onumoratoed and only too patlently oudured sinco tho Thirty- ninth, Itis getting tedious to count them, Therofora, ag Wwo enter upon o new centonnial poriod, with restored statosmauship in the pros- eut placo of professional craft and low cunning, it will, porhaps, bo worth aur whilo to begin tho enumoration anow, calling that Cougress which sball be oloctod in 1876 The First Reformed Con- groos. IN GERMANY, Tho reputation of Awericans for lonesty is, unfortunatoly, not as good as it might be, This is tho caso with its good uamo, particularly in Germany, American epeculators havo found dupes in Gormany much more oasily than in other countries, Spcoulation is not the forte of the German people. They aro more conflding and less wary thau the Fronch or English. Tho rosultis thoy hove suffered vory largely from their speoulntion in American railrord bonds, Tho blame of this does not rest on tho ignoranco or caralessnoss of tho German bankers who no- gotiatod theso bonds, but on tho American poo- ple.and tholr form ot governmont, of which, it is cluimed, such swindhing operations are the uatural outgrowth, Tu viow of this serious charge, it may not be uninteresting to Inquire whother Germans may notgot up ralirond swindlos as gigantic as any concoived in this country; and whether tho Gor- wan Constltution fu any betior than our own ay an outidote againat commerelal corruption, It would seem nov, Wo have It on tho autbority of the Augeburg Allgemeine Zeitung that o concos- slon was obtained by o cortain Pitbus and a cor- taln Biron to comstruot n rallvay to bo kuown us tho Derlin Northern Railroad, to run through Pomorsnin, It was clalmed that 1t would roquire 12,000,000 thalers to ocomploie tho road.

Jamos Henry Mangles, in n recently published papor on the quostion of intorference or non- intorforenco with railway companios, asks whethor the railway compauies in England may not be gradually treated moro and more a8 or- dinary branchos of trado. It thus appoars that tho railway problom is on tho carpot in Englana ag woll as in this country, . 1ndeod, it is the question of tho day whorevor & railway system Lias boen devoloped ; and wo ghatl have occasion in tho future to call attention to its progress in Gormany, 1t bas been generally admitted in England that, although Btato interferonce in commercial matfers genorally is not to be encouraged, it moy rightly como in to regulate the operations of railways. Accordingly there has boon & poli« oy of interforence with railways in England, It isnot a littlo strange that precisely at o time whon wo, in this country, are discussing the pro- priety of initiating suoh a policy, thero should arhso an advacate in England of non-interferanco, arguing that the courso hitherto pursued by England bas been o failure, Yot in Logland, as in this country, tho popular voice is in favor of Btate rogulation. This, Mr, Mauglos himselt concedes ; and concedo it ho must in view of tho regulations disoussed in the report of the Joint' Committes of both Houses on railway affairy, which &ro : 1. Equal milenge ratos. 2. Rates to bo fixed sccording to cost of ear- riago, atter adding u cortain profit on capital. 8. Detormination of torminal charges, 4. Immediate reduction of rates and fares, « 5. Bubsequont periodical ravision of rates and 1ares, 6. Absoluto limitaiion of dividend. 7. Reduction of ratesaftor dividend hasraachod & cortain porcentage, so as to divida oxtra profit botween the compauy and the publio, 8. Classification of rates. 9. Publication of rates, 10.

Mr, Manglos is opposed to all interferonco, and his acgumont is substantially this: that all interforonco Lithorto las boen o failure, Ilo quotes from eminent English authorities to show that railway companlos cannot bo rogulated by tha Stato, Tho substance of all this testimony may bo summed up In the words of Oapt, Tylor: *Ldonot think that you can construct any departmonc or erect any tribunal which shull bo blo to deal satiatuctorily with the Togu- lation and suporvision of rates and workings of railways w0 loug ag thoy are in tho hands of tho companlos,” It I no doubt diffionlt for one man to run an- other mau's business ; and it {a no wondor, there- foro, that Capt, Tylor givea the testimony Lo dooy, It may bo that no Board of Commissioners orother tribunal osu regulnto tho railronds w manner satiefactory to all concerned, Bub this Whon ke found, Lowover, thattho wholo affair | fs not the queation, The Question ls whoethor, spito of the fact that such a Board caunot ne- complish ovorything, it may not acoomplish somothing towards glving the publio a railway #ystom that will not bo o drawback to it iustead of an advantago, It intorforoncs in England bo, 28 Mr, Mangles says it o, and as Capt. Tyler tostiflon, o failute, tho propor courso lato try agaln, and not to fall into & polioy of innctivity. Mr. Mangles arguos that the excuso for in- torfarenco, foundod on tho monopoly oxorcised by railway corporations, does not apply in En- gland, for there, ho says, quoling the Ianguago of Mr. Crackwell, Gonoral Manager of the Lon- don & Northwestern Railway Company: * Thore is no monopoly of railway traffic now." Tius Mr. Mangles would say of the whole of England. It thisbo true, thoro i lttlo ground for Biate intortoronce loft In that country, Itis not true horo ; and so f4 happous that, oven if Mr, Man- glos’ viows wore correot so farng England is concorned, thoy would not bo hero; for in this country rallway monopoly doos oxist; and it is of tho oxintence of such monopoly that inter- forencoe of some kind is called for. —r— Holmholtz, Tyndall, Frickhoofor, Bunoh, Pas- tour, Lister, and sovoral othor distinguishod sei- outiste, as {a woll known, advecato what is ealled the gorm theory of disoaso, 4. e., tha origin and propagation of discass by independent organic gorms, This theory Las just rocoived s most striking confirmation in tho roport of tho expor- imontal Investigations just published by Prof. Binz, of Bonn., Prof. Biuz'a experimenta woro continuod during soveral yoars, and ho was alded in thom by tho uso of very powerfal microscopto apparatus, Tho Professor was himself both ox- perimentor and patient.

Goorge C. Detts, of tho Protestant Episcopal Oburel, in Kausas, is in a nowspaper controversy with the Rev. Dr. Holland, of tho £amo Church, in St. Louis. It appenrs that Mr. Botts was invitod by Dr. Holland to preach in tho church of the latter, and that ho did prench, and discussod “Ritualism,” coutending thet thosa who denounced it wore confounding doctrine sud ritual, to tho sad neglect of tho first. ''o this *sormon Dr. Holland made s publio reply. Mr. Botts rosponds, and smong other things, in roferanco to thé nlleged Romanizing tendency of Ritualiem, anys : Now we are not exsily frightoned, Lot {t bs noted thaty notwithstanding all fhis clumor and confusion, tho Protestant Eplacopal Ctiurch docs sctually recoge nizo the Roman Catholic Chireh an o Iowful branch of thie Church of Christ, while, ou the coutrary, sho ut~ torly repudiates the prutonsions of tho sects to any suci honor, This wholosalo exclusion from recognition of all tho Protestaut socts, as mombors of tho Church of Christ, will probably draw upon Mr, Dotts tho indigoant rebuke of all the evangol- ical donomiuations, Aud now comes Houry Werd Boocher and talks horesy.

The opinion of 3r, Mill may shortly be stated, a8 follows: That man Lae bitberto held womsn in sub- Joction; and that the peculiar qualities of tho female sox, as contradistinet from thoso of the malo sox, ze the rosults of that subjection onlv ; and that, such boing the case, tho oatablishing of legal equality betwoen the soxes would ro- sult in thoir actual equality in strongth, chat- acter, and capacity. It the abovo conclge atatement of Mr. Mill'a view bo correct,it cortainly contaiusan * extraor- dinary fallacy.” It is supposed to be an axiom that thore Is no offect without o causg, T'his axiom applied to the case, it ought cortainly to bo whown Low the subjection of tho famalo to the male was brought about as its origin, For, if tho nesumption that tho oxisting differonoes ara but tho consequences of tho subjection bo true, it certainly implios that, provious to that state of subjection, womun was tho oqual of man. If sho ovor was, what canao produced tho affect called *subjootion™? Wus it, porhaps, an accidont? That is, an extrancous and super- natural cause, not oporating undor the common law of Naturo, and honco unfit to bo urgued up- on by tha common procoss of logie ; such as, for iustunco, tho ndvocates of the monopolics of tho' prosout day, boing unablo to produco logical romsous for their assump- cions, suppose, in support of their clnimy, that {ho pl‘urflrty rights of tho mauopolios are suporior to the power of the wovereign poople, becausu, au thoy say, thoy aro n grant, partiou Intly gven by God Almighty Himwolt, Was it, thoroforo, a direct interferonce of God Aluthtv Himuelf that produced tho offoct onllod tna “aubjootion of woman,” in all tho differont races of man, wherover thoy oxisted?

Thia agroc- mont, datod Juno 9, 1674, was signod by thireye two firms, Ar. Martin moved that cargoos of Inmbor bate ter than cummon bo sold by mspection, My, Doan said it was evident llml SOME ONANGE WAS NECELSANY 10 the manuer of purchinsing lumber in this mar- ket. Tho presout modo was not an 01COUrAE0- ment of honosty or fair-dealing, Thera should ‘bosome means whereby the manufacturor shoutd ot his yalue, and the purohasor tho worth of bis monay, Ho eaw no other iy to accomplish this oxcopt by inspaction, s by this the trae yalus of overy cargo could be ascertained. He favored tho resolution, Mr, Ofticor thought somo system of inmpoction necessary in ordor to remedy prosont difioultiss. Ho could seo no othor way. Mr. Wheelock said the only wey to avoid fights and wrangiea wan to adopl somo Bystom of guy- ing by inspection all grades bettor than common, The timo to act Lad arrivod and womothing eliould bo dona at once. 3. AVERY boing ancd to say somothing, expressod iz sympathios with tho foelingsof tho signors of the sgroemont. It had boen s mattor of surprise that the lumber trade of Chicago had benn man- ipulated by middlomen, and for yoars ho hiad bought almost nxnlunlvc!]y at Saginaw, BSinco the oponing of the railroada in tho pinorioa ship- plog facilitios for shipment liad onablod manu. acturors to ecll direct to tho Enst and South their bost grades, loaviog the rost to Chicago. Ho had nover seen so poor an average of quality as this uprqu. Ho know of & mnnn- facturer who, bocause o was honest, for threo yoars got from $2 to 80 abovo the market prico, all because tho lumbor was what it wag Topre~ sentad to be. Dealown took it 10 preforence to piling up thelr yards with refuso stulf, Why could not the lumbor-doaters, with thoir vast cepitnl, unito and say they would only pay tor lumbor when thoy kuew what they were buying 7 Thore was no reason why tho rulos of other Dbranches of trado should not bo applied to the lumber trado, ‘Tho inspeetion plan could bo en- forced if the loading dealers would taka s united and firm stand. ‘Thoy should not allow fivo or six widdlemen to rulethis market, It was threatonod to send tho cargo to Milwaukeo. Tho fleot that stood in Chicago to-day wonld glut tho Milwaukes market for four yoars. [‘Applnmqo.] Ho favored tho adoption of tho Saginaw inspootion, which was dividoed into three Fmdau, Ho hind nover soon such a stato of things o8 oxistod m Chicago now. Men had not tho privilege of buying on their judgmoent, for thoy wero often compollad to buy ou the bids of country doalors, There would bo less money lost in perfecting tho in- spection systom; than by continuingon tho pres- ent plan, ° Ho urgod that tho dealors stand firm aftor having adoptod & plan. o would guarau- tee to lay dowa in Chicngo tasday for 314 n bote ter quality of Jumbor than now brought 817, + Mr, T W, Harvoy approvod of tho suggestion to unito on tho Sagionw inspection. Ho would agreo to this, and commouce to-morrow morn~ in §Ir. Van Schaick cordially approved of the ra« marks of Mr. Avery. The plan proponed was & parfoctly fair ono as botwoon buyer and soller. Mr. A R, Groy said ho could not add » word to what Mr. Avory had said, It woa only to unito like intelligent men and curry tho poiut ; kocp away from tha markot until they could geb what thoy paid for, Let tho now arrangomont cover tho entiro season, and buy the lumbor somowhore else if it could not be got in Chicago. 2R, THOMPEON said it should bo borus in mind that it took two partics to make a Lergain—a buyer and a seller, —and tho v nd feolings of both should be congidered. p,novou of the prnguund play, but thought the sellors should not bo taken at short notice, Thero was not now in the market a suflicient number of compotent inspociord. From fifty to o hundred educated inspeotors would be required to handle sll tho lumber which ronched thin market daily, Tho rule should be uniform, It was not fair to start off, with a big fleot in tho barbor, and esy they would not buy excopt on a rigid plan of in- epection. Buch o course would kill the hicago lumbor markot, and forco doalors to buy at tho mills, and submit to the inepoc- tion. = The interosts of Chicago, and not of ths inlividual, should be consulted, Tho movemont was untimely at prosont, Incase lumber wea sold only on'inspection, country dealers would ba able to coma hero and buy for themsolves, and tho Chicago dealers would “find their trads slipping away. e mado these romarks only b~ causo thero acomed to bo noono to talk inbehaif of tho sollers. My, Avory sdid thoro wore s hundred donlers who had fivo men each to aparo who wore coti petent i‘l‘mpuo:ora.
