P ———Y The Chicags Tiibune, . Wodnesdny Morning, July 8, 1874, An increase, and not a decrease, of frelght- charges {8 what tho agents hove boen bothering over in Now York for the last day or two, The alfferonce is tho old ono, fixed in the nature of things, botecn moeum and tuum. Thera is & fair chouco that Dr. Earll, who has ‘beon unpleagantly conneoted with govoral nssns- )inations bronght about by attempted abortion, will got bls dosorts atlast, Thiu city will part with Earl], in case bo ghould receiva a peremp- tory call olsowhore, with a ohoorfulnosa that will be surprising to that eminent practitionor. e e Tho formal opening of thenew lake tunnel took place yosterday. Ila completion was an- nounced i Tux Tnisuse o week sgo, and al that time a dotailed roviow of the work was givon, Bomeof the city papers will doubtless. Boizo the opportunity prosented by yostorday's celebration to bring up arrears of nowsj un ex- cellont roport of what they have to say will bo found in Tug Tninuse of LTuosday weol. Au intorview of & nowapaper correspondent with the Emporor of Ruseis is published this morning. The Emperor might have said to tho corrospondent all that is roported without affect- ing {n any seusiblo dogree tho poace of Turopo. Tho intarview would have had as much signifi- cancs if it had beon hold with a gwoop in the strocts of Now Yok, Yot wo aro adjured to stand by and admire this performance ad an ex-~ Libition of newspapor onterpriso. Tho time hos come when tho Associatod Press oau profitably stop advortising tho nowspaper known as the National Crop Reporter, pub- lished at Indisuapolis. Tho estimates which tho Reporter furnishes to tho Press agout aro moro guess-work ; and, gince Mr. Parton has taken the trouble to show in 8 magazine articlo thnt most nowspaper men aro liars, thero is no reason why the crop probabilitios should not be mado up at home to puit individual tastes. Ot tho new 5 por cont roserve on the cireula« tion of National Banks, which is to constitute & fund for the redomption of worn and mutilated notos, about £6,000,000 havo already been To- coivad at the Treasury Dopartment. Applica- tions for £8,000,000 of the civculation suthorized by the rodistribution clauge in the new law bave boon made, and $2,000,000 Lisve been surrondored by tho Naw York banks alone. At this rate, thero wilt bo no appreciublo inflation; the doblor-class will be ground down to ithe hurd neceesity of poying according to contract; aud Sonators Logan and Oglesby will b unable to realize on their swamp-lands in Calumet. The now Cur- rency act i8 mot at all what it was oried up as boiug when it paased Congrost, This will bo a great day in tho French Assem- bly.

A coalition has boon formed between the Legitimists, who aro cnragod at the action of tho Govern- ment In suppressing L'Union, and the Tto- publicans, who huve rousons of their own for being dissatinfled with the porsounl Septennat programmo; and the result may boa dissolution. An attempt to break up the sonlition by coupling M. do Rochefoucauld's monarchienl il with tbe interpollation las failed, and, 80 far as prosent ndvices go, thero is vothing to prevent one of the most oxciting and portentous sessions that has boen held in France siuce tho Compact. Prot. Picrco has published o paper on * Steam Lenes," in which he clearly demonstrates the incronsing need for fixed bighways on the Atlan- tlo, In order to prevont the possibility of col- lisions of stoam vesscls, Ile insists, and no- body will contradict him, that with increased travel comes an inorcased risk of collision, To obviate thig, ho recommends that o distinet lane be provided for overy mouth in the year, com- polled by & clause in insurauce policies, and that tho rato of apoed of all vessels should be ro- duced to o staudard during the continuance of a fog. The Cunard “lane” as prosont existing he considers tho Lest, but its userulnoss iy hindorod by tho oppusbng influence of the Gorman lines of steamora, There can bo no doubt that the adherence of the different lines to ‘s thorough syatem could readily be accomplished through the agency hinted at by Prof. Pierco,— the marine jnpurance companies, The Chioago produce markets wore quite steady yestorday, with ratlor more businoss do- ing, Moz porle was activo, and 20@250 per brl highar, closing ot $18.80@18.85 cash, and 818,85 @18.873¢ soller August.

He owes his oftico to them, but ho bas portioned out tho spolls among bis old Democratio allies. Candor compels the confession by tho New York newspapera that, for n Reformor, Mayor Havemoyer hae boon & terrible disappointment, Jimmy O'Brien, ono of s sompetitors for office, could hardly have done worso, DBofore attompting any close cdmpari- sons botween the twe gentlemen, however, it may bo as well to noto that Mr. O'Bnion's talonts liave nover been allowed full scope for rotion. Gov, Dix kins now undor conslderation an appli- cation for the suspousion of Huvomeyer from oflice. Proeident Koop's lotter in behalf of the North- wostorn Company to Gov. Carpenter, to the ef- fect that the Company proposes to give the Iows Railrond law & fair tris), is woll worth rond- ing. Grangers 1n Jows will bo surprised to hcar that tho roads in Towa leased by the Northwestern Compsny lave thus far been oporated ot & considorsblo loss, Bo Mr Reop says; and overybody who knows tho charactor of that gentleman will beliovo that, if his statement is not truthful, at lost ho belisves it tobsso. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Compavy has also decided to obey the law under protest. Mr. Walker, Prosidont of the Compony, says Lo isno Jottor-writer, intimating in this quiet way that it is not worth while for rail- rond ofticials to explain tho ressons for their action to tho Stato ofiicials, In this ke is prob-:| ably mistaken. . Keop's aud Mr. Riddle's lot~ tera will have somo effeet in Towa, if it should be found, after sufioiont trial, that compliance with the law wouldbe ruinoueto the Companies. e e ‘T'axes in South Carolina are getting heavy and 1and, as promiscd, 18 gatuing olieap, Taxation in that Stato is tautamount to confiscation. The {nxes ave piaced at such a figure that thoy cannot Vo paid, nud thus the land must be sur- rondored to the State. In tho County of Charloaton slone, over 2,900 pieces of real eatate havo alresdy beon forfeited for non-pay- mont of taxes. The Rings, and the papers controllod by them, have industriously circulat- ed tho report that tho case of Charloston is an oxcoptionnl one, Dut it is mot. During tho presont year there hove, in ninetoon countles in South Carolina, beonsold for taxes, 93,239 acros, equivalent to 140 squara matlos, besldes which 348,971 ncros have boen forfeited to tho State. "Tlso poor nogroes, who by lodustry bavo saved anough to purchase & small farm, have in this way been doprived of their property, s well as tho whites, It ia romarked that in the couuties where thora aro moro whites thsn blacks, or about an equal number of whites aud blacks, {ho quantity of land sold for taxes 18 very small,—a fact whicl the Charleston News oxplains by tho supetior frugality, enorgy, and controlling in- flueuce of the whites, whioch have onabled the owners of land to ave it from the hammer of tho auctionesr. b MR. BLAINE'S ADDRESS, Bpeaker Blaino's sddress to bis constituents, accopting » renomination to Congress, apposrs to bo & bid for tho Protoctionist vote in the noxt National Ropublican Convention, We say *ap- penrs to bo," for a caroful reading of lus lettor shows that ba does not comtnit bimself unro- sorvedly to the Protoction thoory, although he amploys thewr ghubboloth in the freo and easy wannor of one who could au’ if ho would. It is probable {hat tho great Iron and Steol Associa- tion and tho great Wool and Woolen Ausociation will require somothing more pecitlo before thoy writo the word Blaine on their ballots in 1876. They have not forgotten thut Mr. Blaine puta majority of thelr apponents on the Committee of Ways and Means in tho two last Congrossos. They will requive & good and colloctable bond ore thoy wipo from the tablets of their momory that trivial, fond rocord. But while Mr, Blaiuo leaves somotlung to be desired in the wayof plainness of speach, ho contributes his influouce practically to the Protectionists, and to the menuest soction of them, by donouucing tha Reciprocity Ureaty. It is woll kuown that must of the Protoution uowspapors, as well as muvy statosmon who claim to bolong to that school, have declared themselves satisfled with tho treaty. Not so the uarrow-minded bigots who scent danger in ovory rolaxotion of tho lariff, This class opposs the trenty not bocause tho treaty itself contuins any lsrm, but bocause of its bad cxamplo. M Dlnino is also opposod to the example, though not on Protectlonlst grounds. Tho ground upon which he-places his opposition, kowever, s not of mngh, consoquence, so far as rolates to tho fmmodiate tling in band, viz, killog tho treaty. If thut can be dono, tho bigots will bo thunkful, aud they will uot stop to split halvs with Br, Blaino on constitutions! quostions, ne to whather the Benate hay & right'to pass a tronty involving n discontinuance of oustoms duties. It is possiblo that Mr, Blaino haa reached the couclusion that the Ropublican party s Trolectionist party, aud that all who aro not Protoctionists huvo gonoout of ity conasquontly that it bocomos him to publicly resognizo the faot, If this be his conclusion, wo think he s not far wrong,’ We think also that whether the Protectionists thomsolves appreciate the fact, tholr oppononts do appreclato {t, and will aot upon it with considorable unsnimity in tho noxt Prosidontial elootion, ‘Thoreforo wo are nob uu- — e Trupaiow w mops Mr, Ulalno's heut-80d faroe woll, not omitting, howerur, to thank him for the good turus Le has dono to tho frionds of roveuuo roform on divers and sundry ocensions, THE DROUGHT AND THE CORN-CROP, There sre somo portions of thia Btato and of Tows whore thorolias boonno rain since the corn waa planted, unlesa thore was a ralofall at thoso points last night, and theso portions aro in the most productive sections of the corn-produce g bolt. The corn has been growing finoly, giv- ing promisc of & very largo crop ; but within tho Inst fow days thore have como roports that 1t was ondangored by tho continuance of the drought snd the unnsually hot weather. Ic i8 truo that corn does not stand 80 much in noed of raln as other crops. Naturo bas furnishod it with menns of catching aud abgorbing othor moisturo, but novortholoss it mnst porish in case of & total failure of raln. Tho indloations of a protractod drought, and tho presont condition of tue growingerop, are such that yostorday orders were reccivea hero from tho rural distilets to purohase largely at present prices. Tho result was an advanco in tho pricos of both corn and oars, the lnttor also guftering for the waut of rain. Bhould thero bo mo change in the weather, and tho drolight bo protracted untilthogrowing corn and onts bo both materially Injured, thoro will boa large advance in the prices of Loth. The sutiel- pation has beon that the corn ylold for 1874 would oxcood that of any previous yoar, thera boing an incrensed area planted, and the first start of tho crop being very promising. In somo places {t s vopresented that the corn fa alrondy dry, and the leaves burned, but tlua is probably an exaggoration, A chongoin the woather and & genoral rain, unless too loug delayod, wiil have tha offect of saving tho crops of both corn and oats, both of which are in some dangor without it. THE BMOKE-NUISANOE, QOur boautiful Chicago is fast becoming a Bty- gian pit of soot and coal smoke, which not aven tho froo broezes of the lake and prairie are able to sweop away, In tho blazing heat of theso July days, whon doors and windowa are noces- sarly open to adwmit tho air, all through the business part of the city and the manulacturing alstriots clouds of this suffocating smoko 'drift into tho offices and apartments of the people, blackoning overything it touches, epoiling costly goods, chioking men, women, and children, dis- coloring buildings, snd consututing & gradt, permanent, and pervading nuisance, which growa more unsightly and intolerablo year by year. Beon from a distanco, the city looks like the cra- tor of somo vast volcsno, and on dsys when thoro is littlo or 1o air stirring, tho sunlight is obsoured by the diabolical blackness which sol- tles down upon tho busiest thoroughfarcs. And what are wo going to do aboutit? Wo must bave steam-cngines and stenm-elovators apd all sorts of eteam things to carry on tho work of a great city. e caunot dispense with these it is true, but wo can, if wo will, abate the smoke-nulsauce, or roduco it to s minimum, ‘There are soveral contrivances for consuming tho smole of furnaces which are both choap and economical. Thoy not only consumo the smoke but thoy add to tho hont-produciug qualitios of the fuel, and theroby effoct & saving of coal. Almost every owner of a steam-ongine would willingly put such au apparatus on his furnace if he knew that everybody else was roquired to do tho same, but, 50 long as nobody is compslled, nobody will take any pains to abate & moro fraction of tho general nuisance when the bene- ficial rosult would be imperceptible intko ng- grogato. It is clearly within the competency of the Qity Council to compel tho use of gome apparstus for consuming smoke by overy pro- priotor of o furnace within the city limits, No mon, and no number of mon, Luve a right to eatablish a nuisauce for which there is so casy and inoxpensive aremedy. If theydo ao, it isthe bounden duty of the City Govornment to com- el tha application of tho remedy. If every Al~ derman could bo condemned to livo a short soa-~ son in closo proximity toone of thoso blnck~ vomiting chimneys, it would not be long ero effoctunl meaus would be found to rid cur beau- tiful Clucago of the smoke-nuisance. THE MILL RIVER VERBICT. The Coroner’s jury, 1 the Mill River disastor, hns given its verdict, and fixed the blamo of tho catnstrophe on so many shoulders that it practioally holds o oneguilty of itandits fright- ful coussquoncos, The offense has been par- celed out umong the Leglelaturo, the proprie- tora of tho reservoir, tho eugincers, the con. tractors, and the County Commissioners. The Legislaturo is consured for granting o chartor to William Skiouor, Jool Haydea, Lewis Bodman, and others, with corporato powers to construct o dam 45 foat high, flowing o basin of 104 acres, and holding 600,000,000 galtons of water, at tho height of from 850 to 809 foot mbove eight vil- lages within & radlus of eloven milos, without roquiring & guarautee that tho construction should he safe. Tho Logis- lature of Mussachusotts ought to have kuown onough of statics, and dypamics, and mechuuics, to understand that thero wae great danger in permitting 8o alight a barrier only to be opposed to so great o forco, Thore ought to have been sclonco enough in tho ranks of its membors to onablo it to seo that the clartor grantod to Skinner, Haydon, Bodman, and others, wasa conveyance to them, by written instrument, of Juie possor of lifo and denth over tho innocout inhabltants of oight prosporous towns; a turn- ing over to the tendor mercles of a fow miser- ablo, miserly, short-sighted speculators of their proporty aud lives, ualoss tho resorvoir wau mnde sufe,~a thing which the Logislature should lave placed boyoud a peradveature.

NEW MEXICO, During the days of oxsnd mule irains the trade of Now Moxico was monopolized by Bt. Louls, Now that the Kansns Pacific Railway and another great line from Topeks up the Ar kanans Rivor to within 100 miles of Pueblo have rondered New Mexico much more accessible to aliparts of tho Union, the attention of the country 18 beginuing toturn in that divection. Ttoma like the following, which wo cut from ono nr'nur New Mexican oxchanges, cannob fall to intorest manufacturers and business men gen- erally: A correspondent writing from Pajarito says that thoro wore recautly shorn at that place 48,000 kead of sheop belonging to Don Joso L, Parca, This gave em- ployment to over 100 men, who cach clipped onon average 100 hesd of sheep per day. The price paid for shearing was two conts per bead, Not only does Now Moxico prodice wool very cheaply, and somo other articles which will bear transportation by railway, but its mountaine are oxceedingly rich in tho precious as well as the usoful motals. Lying south of Colorado, the Territory of New Moxico is divided into high mountain spurs of the great Rocky Mountain obain and elevated valloys, most of which require irrigation to make them productive. Inmuch, if not most, of the country tho rivers and mountain streams afford an sbundance of water for that purpose. The Rio Grande, which bas its sourco amid tho highest posks of the Rocky Mountains in Colorade, runs from noth to south entiraly through tho Werri- tory., The Ban Juan, the Colorado, and the Glls drain tho wostern slopea of the Bierrn sladro, The Pecos drains the enstorn section of the Torritory. Theso valleys are from five to eight thousaud feot above tho sea, and the climato {s dry and exceedingly Dhoalthy. The smallost porcontago of lung dis- cnses (consumption {nits varied forms)is found n Now Mexico, ‘The majority of the people are & mixturo of the old Spavisrds with tho Indians, and not much con be seid in favor eithor of their indus- try orof their intelligence and morals, But within the last holf dozon years many emigrants from tho adjoining States and Territories have gettled in Now Mexico, iu anticipation of & sub- wtantinl progress suro to be doveloped in & very few years. Though railway building has boen stopped for & time, ona or mora of tho Arkansas Valloy roada will reach Now Moxico beforo many yoars pass, Our oxchanges report considorablo stimulus already felt in the prico of ronl emate, and iu some dopatiments of busiuess, in autici- pation of that event. = But the gold aud eilver miues of New Mexico are to bo tho sottreo from which a rapid sdvauco- ment in wealth and population muy be expeoted.

Notwithelanding the panio of Bop- tombor, and the subsequent sueponsion snd prostration of 8o much business, the railroads of the United Btates had a moro prosperois soa- gon than thoy bad hiad for sevoral yoars, In 1871 thoro wore built in this country 7,860 miles of raflway; in 1872 thero were 6,107 miles ; and in 1873 thora wero 8,016 miles. In tho throo yoars there wore built no less than 17,743 miles of railway, the most of which Las becn uupro- duetive, and’ » large portion mot enrning enough to pay opernting oxponsos, much loss pay Intorcet on bouds, Many of those railways have been built on the no cash aystem; thatls to eny, oxclusively on credit, lu many casey thero- by doubling tho cost of the constiuction. But it will bo scon that tho business of bullding rail- ways had recoived a doolded cheolt boforo the pania struck {t s orushivg blow. Tho work had boen ovordone, and iho market was overloaded with railroad bonds, representing moro than the valuo of ronds, which were not earning ouough topay the cost of running tho trafns. At the oloso of 1878 there wore completod 74,000 miles of raflway. At tho closo of 1872 thero woro comploted In tho United States 66,207 miles of rallway, whioh were In operation in 1873, There was outatanding and supposed to ropresont the cost of thoso roads an indebieduess thus made up: Capital stock..... sraee: Bonds nud other forms of debt.. Total assumed cost...s .. 034 This sum includes, In addition to the notual cash coat, tho watorod stock. and tho bonds and stock voted na gratuitios to the construction com- panies, ote. The eninings of theso raliways for 1873 wore as follows: From passengors. From frefght, . Gross earnings.. Operatiug exjpouet rneenreneseosenssss $183,810,602 Net earnings.... This, it must bo romembored, includes alt the unproductive and 1gn-paying raliroads of tho country, and shows thnt tho operating ox- penscs wveragod 65 por cout, leaving 8 por cont ms not comings, While ® jarge number of roads dofaulted in tho payment of interest on bonds and panged dividends, thore was paid in cash for dividends on tack, §67,120,000, or an avarage of 3.45 por cont on the aggrogate pst valuo of eapital etock, aud $110,700,000 o8 intorest on bonds, aqual to .25 por cent on the whole bonded indontodness of all the roads, Omilting the -railronds,— mainly speculative and built in advance of any busioces recently,—whioh dofaulted, tho divi- donds for 1873, computed on stock and bouds swollen far boyond tha honest cost of tho rail- way, wero not only liboral but prowntly paid.

The gross esrnings in 1872 were 14.75 por cent upon the total enpital and dobt, and in 1878 were about 14 per conf; ibus, notwithstandiog the lucroaso of capital by the construction of the 0,000 miles of now roads in tho yoar previous, whick new roads were mostly non-productive, the propor- tionate businoss of the railways, as shown by their gross onrnings, was hardly less than that of 1872, Upon tho old-establisked roads the incresso of business was general aud large, but the introduction of 6,000 miles of new rail- way which earned nothing sbove its operating oxpensos kopt tho avorage of tho wholo country down to tho lovel of 1872. The averago of operuting exponses of 1873, of all tho railroads in the couatry old and new, was 65 por cont ot tho gross oarnings.
