The poople have a right to know something about such an undertaking—who the architoct was, tho Gommissioners, the con- tractors, and what was ita cost. Most of all, the pooplo would like to know how the expease of building the bridge is to bo mot, and what itis to be used for.

The politicinng are unablo as yet to determine what moy bo the significance of his promotion. Oune viow is that heis to control the post-ofices in furthernnce of Mr. Blaine's aspirations to the Presmdoucy; wwother that heis to *fix" Michigan in such o way ne to sccure tha ro-olection of bis father-in- law to thoe United States Senate. Possibly Mr, Halo may worlk for both of theso onda; but it is cortain that any caleulations which take no scoount of his own ambition will be seriously dotoctive.

Boechor Is eearcoly anywhere unconditionally condemned. ‘Tilton is mearcely anywhoro un- qualifiedly boloved, At tho samo time, it 18 at most univorsally folt that n ctoud, and a vory dark one, rosts on Beechor's roputation. It is 8ald by scme ouo that Tilton's nasoolation with the Woodbull ctowd has totally disqualified him for a witnoss unless thero bo corroborating proof. This may bo; but ho docs produce cor- roborating proof when ho givea n lottor writton aud slgned by Henry Ward Beochor auggosting tho commiesion by Doocher of somo helnous wrong. The pross of the country takes this view of tho matler, It ia moon that olthor Boachor or Tilton is s great oriminal. Eithor Bocchor is gullty of tho uncharacterized offense of which ho is acousoed, or Tilton e a vilo alandorer and forgor. Tho wholo matter hinges, or may be made to hiuge, ou tho question of tho authentieity of the lottor which Tilton claims Boocher wrote, Estolls was o Iate Captain-Genoral of Cuba. This is not true. The Captain-General was atill in' Cubs & fow days ago, aud working fn2:6:1 haves among bis own supportors by mosnG of ehurd foancial docroos and bar- Pailiv ot asures. Wo supposo it will bo pology for :this bluwdor (as a rocont gratuitous pufl rot-mo-not's hippodrome, which in the nows’ columng’ of -the ‘samo ‘o man who mado It is propared oré in o 24-foot ring. Tho al- tornntive Is: Agroo that tho Captain-Gonoral of Cubn s dead, or fight. It is too much to say taat tho Captain-Genornl is not dead, Nothing bes been heard from him for threo days. Weo we eontont to draw out, and say that the Cap- tan-Goneral f8 not the mon who lins boen com- mending tho Ropublican forcea in Bpain, sinco the rotiromont of Serravo. And even this much isnot worth fighting about, Wo have no wish to sugage in unscomly strife, agoens it owt Nl for Later reporta from the engagoment botwoen the Spanish Republican troops and the Carlists at Datolla, which was enid at first to have resuted in o great viotory for the former, put an outirely different faco on affairs, In- stend of wiuniug a victory, the Repub- leaur nvo sustaned o sovero defoat, their loss teing varlouely cstimated at from 1,500 to 4,000. Their commanding ofticor, Gon. Concha, way killed, and the army was obliged to fall back., Thoimportance of this engagement can not bo determined without further data. The Carlist army occupies the extremo north- ern provinces, Its position is almost impreg- noblo, and, so long as it yomains where it is, no offorts of the Ropublicans can compas its destruction, But thero is mno roason to beliove that the Corlists havo resources to wamrant an sctive campaign in the lower country, nmor do wo understand that they soriously contemplate n forward movemont.

Conceived i idleness, it has been killod by Industry. Two ocauses have been at work sappivg tho structyge, ‘which has finally fullen iuto ruins. Ono of theso " the lnw as soon na theymo notified of their is the fanatical end impracticable charactor of the lenders, They proposed for the workingmen o contest between labor and capital, sod thoy promised the workiugmeon that, as the result of this contest, they shonid be the real rulors and dictate torms to tho capitalists, if not ultimately overthrow them end atep wto their placos, The workingmen were for a timo dazzlod with the brillinnt promiscs of the domagogues and the dazzling chimeras of the Communo, which was to make all property commnon aud oue man ag good aganother. As time olapsed, bowevor, theso things did not como Lo pasy, More than this, it began to dawn upon tho workingmen that thelr leadors wero not altogothor disinter- ested meu ; that some of them woro living upon tho ducs oxtracted from them; and that all of thom lad promised what thoy woro uusble to perform, There was no contest botwoon Inbor and Tho capital. laws of sup-~ ply and demsnd and labor and wugos romained in force, notwithstanding tho fulmiuations of tho Communlats, and were not in tho least disturbed by them. Then distrust sobin, sud a now and still more potent causo commenced to oporate. Tho Cownmunists or- gauized their party i the winter, when work wad sonree, Tho city had not 1ccovered from the offects of tho panio. Money was locked up, Building oporations had coasod almost ontiroly, ‘Workmon wero idle and discontonted, and time bung leavily ou their hands. Thoy wore ready to go anywhore, to do aoyching, to liston to anything, howover propostorous, which would paes away tholr time, It Was an casy matter, thoroforo, to organize o Workingmon’s Party, The demagogical Jorders found plenty of materiul roady at thelr hands. But when tho spriug came work came, aud when worlt comos 1t ocoupies time, It brings money. 1t provides for familios. It rosults in content- wmont and happinoss. It suporinduces a desire for reoroation, Communism does not seoura any of theso rosults, It thrives ouly on idloncss, Bo whon tho choloo was given tho worltingman botweon work and money on the ono band snd Commuolsm and idloncss on tho othor, tho oholco was onally mudo, aud tho leaders found themsolves with- out & following. Mon at work have no time to hang round waloons ; or tramp about in pro- cosslons; to attend nightly Communlstio Ya- rangues ; or tothoorizo over tho rolations betwoon Inbor and capitel. Honost work has boen the wodge which has split tho party and dissolved tho hopes of tho Uommunistio leadors, If, hows over, the brief oxperionco of tho workinen has shown them the true cbaracter of thoso lendors and the real purposos thoy have in viow; it ithag convinced them thut Communiem can bring thom no romedy for tholr grlovances ; if thoy now undorstand that the relations botweon Iaborand capital are subjact to laws and not to whime, and that thoae laws oannot be coatra- vened withous lnjury to themsolvos, thon ths saying that for some reason or othor he wisked ho wero doad. Mr. Boochor can call on Tilion to produco that lettor. If it oannot bo producod, orif itcan bo shown to bo a forgery, Docchor is viudicated. Any amount of ovidence from Tilion wonld, after that, have 10 effect wuatever. Proved a slanderer once, he would bo condomned foravor to silonce, He has publishod only o part of that lotter. o should, if callod upon, produce the whole, that the pub- lic moy judge whether or uot tho context sup- ports his accusations. Plymouth Church ro- | fuses to take auny notice of tho charges made against its pastor, Itis possible toavoid all por- sonnl Investigation and all scandalous dotalls it Beechor and TLilton are willing to follow Mr, Shearman's plan, and lot the whole matter turn on the oxistonco or non-oxistence of thua lotter, It is possible that Loth Beechor and Tilton should bo dropped entirely, and that documont alone mudo tho subject of investigation, If Tilton is not a forger, or gullty of misroproson- tation ; if ho has not wronged Mr. Boochor by the supprossion of parts of the lottor, ho surely cannot object to this proposal. Neither can Mr, Beecher, it ho nover wrote thatlettor, orif hecan put on interpretation on it entircly difforent from that which his acouser does. The public, aud ospecinlly tho roligious publie, should bo allowed to know whothor Mr. Beechor is tho criminal Mr, Tilton would have him appear to be, or whether Mr. Tilton is a libeler of better men than bimself. Congrogationalism, and oven tho causo of morality, no less than Mr. Beechior bimsoelt, are interested in the vinaioation of the great preachor's charactor. THE I0OWA RAILROAD LAW. Tho attitude of the lending Iowa railronds in rogard to the Railway law which takes offect in that Slate on tho 1st proximo is atiil undeter- mined. 1t is tolerabiy cortain, howover, that o united policy of resistance will not bo mgreed upon, Bcveral minor enrporations will comply with the law, Under its provisions bettor rates will bo allowed them than they now secure. There is also roason to believe that tho Chicago, Rock Island & Pacifio Railroad will conform to claswifiontion, Tlus courso is not willingly purehe smod by tho Rack Island Compavy, but they soo no alvernative. Soveral yoars ngo, before tho Anti-Xonopoly mavement had been droamed of, that Company asked the Legislature to perfact tho title to thair lands, in consideration of which thoy nccopted an amondment to their charter rocogniziog the right of the Legislaturo to repulato their rates, und their Proaident filed in tho ofiice of the Bocrotary of Hiate a written sccoptanco of theso conditions. This agreo- ment {8 deomed a contract which casununot b ignored, Still, the Company will not oscapo a dilomina. They osnuot consistently comély with the Towa luw and at the samo time continue to disrogard the more lenient law of this Stato. If they charge passengers only 8 conts por wmilo in Tows, thoy can hardly dewmand 4 cents in Iili- vols, whore the local travel more than doubly exceods tho travol in Iowa, And, if this etato of affairs forces tho Company to comply all over its sovoral linos, the effoct upon the other rail- ways cannot bo doubted. Moantime, tho othor Iowa leading lines ovince a disposition to disre- gard tho law, The Chicsgo, Burlington & Quiney hinve been inclined to stand out from the fivat, The Northwostern and the Iltiuois Con- tral lenso thelr linos from an Iowa company, tho Prosidout of which, Mr. Horaca Will~ inms, of Cliuton, In, hus slrosdy notified thom that he will apply for an injuuction to restruin them from complying with the provisions of the now law. ‘This proceeding he justifies on the plea thiat, sa the linos are loased on a percentage of the gross enrnings, auy action caleulated to roduco tho receipts would juriously affeot the stacklioldors and owners of the proporty, The pepers upon which the application for an in- junction witl be based aro now belng propared by Iowa nttornoys, and will be prosented in cours atan early day. ‘This course has beon deter- mined upon by the lessors regardless of tho wishes of tho leascos in tho mattor. A fow daya will suflico to dispel all uncertainty. Af soon ng the Exocutive Council have detormined tho clas- sification of the various roads,—which tuey will procecd to doon tho law's taking offeot,~—the Companies wil be obliged to make known tholr iutoutions, FIRE-ORACKERS AND THE FOURTH, Tho Fourth of July ls yot four duys off, but the firat fire-orackers of tho season havo made thelr appearance., 'Che charming laxity of tho laws, under tho patornal administration of tho People’s Party, gavo somo emull boys an oppor- tunity on Bunday aftornoon to anticipato tho TFourth and amuse themeolves with theso small but diabolical Ohincso cylinders of puper aud powder. With tho total dopravity and breezy recldossnesy charaotoristio of small boys, thoy choso an alley botweon Michigan nbd Wabash avenues, which was plentifully filled with bay, straw, shavings, and othor cnsily inflammable litter, aud lned on oither side with framo barns and sheds, intended for the stabling of horsos, but in reulity destined, lko ol other strnctures of thls wort, for the purposos of fuel. Hero, thon, wora the olementa—tho material to bo burned ; tho medi- um for buraing it ; tho combinod stupldity und dopravity to apply ths medium to tho materiat ; and an ericournging wind from Mrs, O'Leary's historloal quarterin thoe southiweat to Lolp on tho work, The combination was sufMlclont for its purposo and worked to o charm, oven excoed- ing tho oxpeotations of the original projectors of tho kchomo, Flve barus wore burnod up and tho nelghbore aze 81,400 out of pocket, The axe DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1874. ‘ponso of tho matorinls \'ns but n fow cents, and tho timo ocoupled in the work of destruction but n fow minutes, Ifad it not hoon for the absurd hasto and oaterprise of tho firomon, tho con- flageation might have beon much larger, Novertholess it was o vory fale commencoment, aad it Is eucournging. Thora are yot four days boforo the day wo colobrato 15 over, Tho stook of firg-orackors ia sufliciontly large, and, by & proper combination of persiatonco with stupidi- ty aud dolormlnation with recklessnoss, thero is no good resson why wo may not hnve sevoral more fires during thoe weok, and closo on Batur- day with o grand transformation scone in the shapo of an extonsivo conflogration. Wo Inuv9 now many Chiness ecattered throughout tho oity aluo, who will bo delightad to hielp us cole- ‘Drate tho grent and glorious uatal day of Amorl- can froodom with tho firing of orackors, If thoy undorstand that thoy can blazo mway ad libitum and rogardloss of consoquencos, we have 0 doubt that by their suporior elkitl and exporl- once thoy may bo able to holp the Ameriean pop- ulution vory matorially Lo bring about a genoral contlagration, Portland guccoeded in ono day, and burned ftsolf up with firo-ornckors, Wo have yot fve dave (including to-day), and may auccood if wo will only porsovere, and thus commomorate in a fii manner tho groat progress of tho country, and do honor to tho memory of our forofathors, who fought, bled, and died in dofonso of liborty and othor things. Theo fact that there are ordinances in our mu- nioipal books forbidding the flving of crackers on tho public streots should uot bo atlowed to stand in tho way of our patriotio purposos. Any honse- bolder who has two or three emall boys and sufliciont firo-crackers may, by a little practico, auccoed in offering up his houso and furniture upon the altar of his country, aud somo. of his moighbors' property also, and thus prove himeelf worthy of tho Dblessings of liberty which have boon bequenthed bim. Wo tako it that the Sons of Frecdom in Chicago will not rest content with a potty 81,400 fire of barns and shods, but that, as the stock of firo-crackera is ample, they will colobrato the an- nivorsary of froedom with somothing on & Inrger seale. To do this It only requires porsevorance and zoal and 8 fow conts. Thero is yot hope bo- twoon now and Snturday that Bundsy's confla- gration mey bo improved upon. — DE. BACON'S COURSE, 8omo of the newspapers which have commont- ed on thoe Beccher-Tilton ecandal have censured Dr. Leonard Bacon for goading Mr. Tilton to the point of making n disgusting exposuro. Dr. Ba- con's courso in tho promises is sueceptible of two or threo constructions., He may havoe bo- lioved Mr. Beccher innocent, and thereforo have taken Tilton in band for purposes of castigation, a8 ho had, in Bome soveo, tho right to do, having been the Moderator of the Brooklyn Congroga- tional Council, by which the sction of the Plym~ outh Church in roferenco to Tilton wns ro- viowed, Or he may have belloved Mr. Boacher guilty, and perceived no way of eatab- Ushing his guilt excopt by lashing Til- ton till tho latter should cryout, This courso in tho one which the Springfield Republican, by innuendo, attributes to Dr. Bacon, and thers are some facts which scom to warrant the insinug- tion. A third construction of Lis course is that Dr. Bacon was in doubt whother Mr, Beecher was innocont or guilty, and therefore adopted & pol- foy which would forcean issuo and eliclt the truth. This soems tous the most plausible ox- plavation of his prolonged excoriation of Tilton. Buppoelng it to ba the true oxplanation, was o justified ? 8o far as relntes to the purity of the church and the cause of roligion, wo think that ho was fully justiied in pushing on an investigation, for if Mr. Boeohor i8 o wolf in sheep's clothing, Lo ought tobe caught and impounded as soon a8 possible, Tho fact that Lo is a man of gonius and world-wide roputation makes him only tho mioro dangerous, and should nerve the real shop- herds of tho flock to grenter oxertions to effect hig capture. But there is one thing more to be said. Dr, Bacon was in & position to bave forced a straightforward investigation, Xt was not necossary for bim to have rosorted to indirect means to bring it about. Especially was it not necessary for himto laud Mr. Beecher to the skics if Lo bolioved him guiley, or if ho thought thero was somo doubt about his inno- cence. Nor was it nocossary to brand Tilton as o liar and & dog, if ho thought ho might possibly bo & truthful and much-injured man. It s this indirection (if, indeed, indirection was used) for which Dr. Bacon may bo censurable, For the dotermination which ho exhibited to bring out tho truth, ho is ontitied only to commendation, nnd, most of all, commendation from the ro- ligious bodlos of tho land, THE PHILADELPHIA EXPOSITION, Tho Philadelphis Press, in an articlo iwsisting tunt tho Centonnial show in that city must bo “international,” uses the following language: Tho sagnclty of Europesn manufacturers, and of thoso interestod fn the oxtension of commerco, will recognize the fact thut the exulbition will congreguto at Philudelphis commissions, exhibitors, and visltors from overy nation aud Stato of tho two Americos aud tho Antilles, to study and compure. thie folrics, pro- ducts, and machines of Europe uud America, and that such an opportunity has never befora Loon prosontod and cannot oceur for yoars, of onlarging in worldwido clrcles tho markets for the productions of European industry, 5 Thig from a paper which I8 dovoted to the polioy of dostroying nll trado with foreign coun- trics is at least surprising, Tho Press is pub- lished undor tho fmmediate oyes of Henry O, Carey sud Willlam D, Kolloy, and 18 the great organ of the ‘Home-Markot" perty., Te iv possiblo that tho scales have fallen from the oyes of tiieso Protectionists, ond that now thoy aro in favor of * cularging in world-wido-clrelos the murketa for tho productions of European fn- dustry" ? Aro these British manufacturers to bo invited hero, and given tho opportunity, at the cost of the Ameriean peoplo, of exhibiting tholr manufactures and showing that thoy cav pro- duce better goods av one-third less cost than tho protected Americans? Is tho # juternational " show to bo thrown open that tho * pauper labor of Europs mny have an oppor- tunily to enlargo tho market for its productions in the United Btatos? Has thero been * British gold " employed in the managoment of tho Cen« tonnial, or in the oflco of the Press? Wo thought that the grost mission of the philoso- phera of Philadelphis, including their orgna, tho Press, was to teach tho doctrine that each na- tion was to produce everything it nooded, and buy nothing of auy other nation j that cacl was to build up & *‘homo market," and neither buy nor sell in any other, Have not the poople of this country been poylugdor ten or more yoars govoral hundrods of milliona of dollars extra tax anpually, to bronk down trade and inter- courss with forelgn nations, and izolatethe Amor- 1can people from oll others? In the face ot taxos yarying from 00 to 120 per cent on wool sud woolen goods, of 45 per ceny on ooiton gonile, and in ke proportion on the gloss, crockery, iron and stool ware, and all othor pro- duots of these Europesn induatrios, are wo to Invito theso Buropoans to enlarge their market amongus? Or, aro thoso Europoan manufac- turors to bo brought to Philadelphia and then told that thelr laborors are paupers, and that thelr gouds cannot bo permitted to como in com- potition with thoso produced In thls country? What does the Press mosn ? Daos it propoo to abandon the proteotive policy, aud encoursge a 1iboral commercinl intorcourss smoug nations, snd thersby an notual * enlarging of tho market for Europoan ildustries” in this country? If this bo the purposo of tho Contennial, then lot tho show go on. THE LUXEMBOURG QUESTION, The North German Gazells iuforms its rond- ora that Luxombourg shall not be allowed to harbor the oxiled Gorman Uliramontano Bish- opA, ortonflord them a point from which to wago awar of words against tho Empire, If tho Gorman Bishops and pricsts sent out of Gor- many are pormitted to stay in tho Grand Duchy of Luxombourg, thoy will be practically in Gor- many, and their influence ngainet DBismarck’s policy will Lo felt nearly a8 much as if no decreo of exilo hnd boon pronounced againet them, Bis- marck's offloial organ, thereforo, runounces that immedinto mensuros will bo taken to frustrato the plan eatd to bo contomplated by tho Ultramone tancs, And tho reasons roforred to aro mono loss, tt s supposed, thon the anuoxation of the Grand Duchy to the Gormau Empire. Thus, and thus only, is Bismarck sure that hocan keop thint troublesoma littlo spot of earth from being mado the point of support of the Ultramon- tano lever which would swing the now Empire out of existenco, The rumors that snch sn attempt is undor consideration aro beloved in England, Some of the German papors affoct to doubt that the annexation of Luxem- bourg to the Empire 18 thought of. The Staals- Zettung of Now York, however, pays that tho Gorman Government does not cara to precipitatn events, but that itis & question of honor with it to bring back to German unity the little ter- ritory snatohed from the German Foderation in 1867; aud that, tho momontsn opportunity nflam,' it shall effoct this unfon, Itis argued that tho noutra position of Luxembourg {s an absurdity, sinco it does not possess the power nor tho will to mainain its neutrality; and since tho grester numbor of the Poivers which have guaranteed its nentrality aro not in a condition to enforce it in case of o dificulty botween Franco and Germauy. It is further arguod that in such & contingoncy the anunoxation of Luxembourg would bo & no- cessity for the German Empire, In the meantime tho littlo Duchy is mrowing norvous, and tho Journal du ZLuxembourg published, not long since, n communico~ tion stating that tho Director of Jus- tico, to provent the inconvenionces wbhich would iuvevitably arise from the olaims of Gormany, was proparing & bill to forbid the Ultramontane exiles from making their homo in the noutrat territory., This, bowover, will help little, It is decided, according to all appear- ancos, that Germany shall by forco annox Lux- ombourg to her Empire. When it shall do so, is only a quostion of time. What tho action of the athor groat Powors will be in that contingency, itis easy onough to prodict. They will allow Gormany to fight the whole question out with France. THE HURON TRENT VALLEY CANAL. The Wost is to havo cheapor transportation to tha seobonrd.

Tho idea of securing from Lake Michigan & wator-supply drawn from a point sutliciontly ro- moto from the shoro to insuro absolute putity dates back as far as Fobruary, 1863, when the amended city charter gave tho power to the city *Lo extend nqueducts or inlet-pipes into Laka Michigan, and to erect a pier or plers in tho navigublo waters of said Inko™" for that purpose. In Jauuary of tho year following the action of theState Leglelaturo woa sanctioned by Congress, aud tho aity uthoritics decided upon building & tunnel. On the 5th of October of tho same year, Mosurs. Dull & Gowan, the contractors, were authorizod by the Counoil to begin the tunngl, the agreoment being that it should be comploted by November, 1855. T'ho first ground was broken on 8t. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1864, the occasion being attended with ‘iutoresting coremonios. The work pro- gressod steadily, but wae not comploted until the Gth of Docomber, 1366, more thau & yoar later than the speaified timo. The oconsion of layiug the last brick, which was accomplsned by J. B. Rice, Mayor of the city, was also made tho ex- cuso for spocch-mnking and ceremony. It was not, however, untit March 26, 1867, that tho wator was lot iuto tho tuunel to flow through tho city systom of wator-pipos. As the tuunol was looked upon throughout tho World ng ono of tho noblest monuments of bui- cago onterprise, it is not to ba wondered ab that this accasion also was takon advantago of as one suifable to tha enjoyment of Aldormanio elo- usuce ond coufractorinl hospilahity. The aimnnuiuuu of tha old tunnol areas follows: Length, from the crib to the shore, 2 miles; wideh, & foot; boight, 5 feob 9 inchos. Its cupacity undor a head of 18 foot is not less than 57,000,000 gallons daily. The crib was launched ou the 25th of July, 1805, and, after being towed out to its destination, was sunk, ‘Lhe total cost of tho old tunnol was $457,845. JMORE TONNELS NEEDED. A 1t soon bacamo apparent to the anthorities thet tho water system wss uot equal to tho demuand, and 1o 1908 tho macter wus brought bofore thie Common Council by Ald. C. C. I. Holden in a communication in” which ho stated that he believed tho necessities of the city called for * the further distribution of water to tho outskirts of the eity, aud to all other parisof the city whoro it was not then suppliod, and that & tunnel should bo commencod at tho oarlie:t possible day, starting from tho present Water- Waorks, or the shore ond of the tunnel, and rau- ning thenes to tho West Division, with o ter~ minus somewhera noar tho jutersection of Har- rinon una Loomis atroots, with pumping-worly at that point, with mainsand distributing pipos diverging to every part of the city.” THE DELAYS, ‘What Ald. Holden proposod aftorwards mot with tho favor of the Council, though inan en- largod form, It was docided in 1871not only to butld a lurger land tunnel, extending from the wator-Works to the iutorsection of Ashlend avenue and Twenty-second streot, bub aléo to butld another tuungl from the crib to tho shore, with o larger capacity than the old ono.
