R The Fronch oud British Ministors to Spain weve received by Serrano on Saturday evening. {t was noticed that thoy addressod him as tho Prosidont of tho Exccutive Power, whataver that office may be, and made no allusion to tho Ropublic. Thisis the very refinement of diplo~ mecy. To regard the Governmont of Spatn aa au abalraction ia of course neccesary, bub é an sbetraction without & name Spain becomes not worth recoguizing. Mr, Beecher preached in Plymouth Church yestorday to o crowded Lauso. His prager, it is Baid, was a master-pieco of pathos, Wo suppose, alio, that it was s master-piece of dovotion, but nobods secms to have thought mich on this point.

Ho saya that many oppor- tunities for taldng such a course as this Lavo been presented to Mr. Beocher; that he has refused them all; that ho has fipally Leen fuiced by public opinion to miaie an opportunity for himseil; and that ono of the motives to it Is o desite to prejudico the caso of Tiltow va, Beechor. Mr. Tilton cloaca with a solomu alivmatiou of the truthof tho origival chargo, Wo believe tuat this roiter- stion will coufirm thio conviction, which s now slaioat universal, that Mr. Tilton is honest, This "much is admitted on gl hauds: bo belioves Mr. Boechior to be guilty.

GEN. SEALER. Gen, Alexander Sheler, of Now York, at a con- sidorablo sacrifico of his own timeand con- vonience, hns respondod to the invitation ex- tended to him 1o visit Chicago with o view to the mprovemont of our means for extinguish- ing fires. Ho nrrived hero yesterdsy, and ia stop- Pping at the Palmor HMouse, whore his was waited on by a number of our prominent citizens, * Gen. Bhalor, a8 we understand, 8 not now connected with the Firo Department of New York. He was its chiof organizer and dis- ciplinarian, and when it bad boen brought to its presont state of efficiency lis work was completed snd he rotired. It will be fortunato for us i wo shall bo sble to securo his oxporionce and declsion of chamacter for a similar sorvice, It is mot necessary to dotract auything from tho prosent Chief of our Fire Dopartment or the subordi- nates, in sayfug that they noed and must bave o training liko' that which the New York Doport- mout recoived at Gen. Shaler’s hands. It is uot neccesary to dotract from our Board of Firo Commissioners in soylng that thoy have not had tho oxperioncs which would enablo them to givo suck training, and that thoy have not tho timo to do 6o oven if they bad tho oxporionce, Tho duties of tho Polico T "1 aloie aro sufliciont to 1 ongross tho swhole of .ueir time, if proporly at- tonded fo, The only thing the Fire Commia- sioners can bo blamed for will be a neglect or re~ fueal to avail themsolves of tho best wnstruction attainable. Gon, Shaler will remain hore only two days at present, Whether his services can bo socuved forw longer pemod will, perbaps, dopend upon whot may transpire betweon now and Tuesday evening, Wo assumo that he would not have como hero st all unless he were proparod to take into scrious consideration any proposition that might bo madoto him by our eity authorities. That an arrangement can bo made with him which will result not only in bringiug baok to us the protection of sound iusuranco, but, what ia far more important, will work a vas saving in prop- erty now oxposed to the ravages of firo, we have no doubt. And it is tobe borno in mind, too, that the services of such mon as Gon. Bhaler will probably . bo in domand in ofher places than Chicago ore long, It has been inti- mated that we are not tho only commumty that has been weighed in the balance and found want- ing in firo-oxtinguishing apparatus and the abil- ity to bundlo it, Wo trust that all theso facts will have their duo gravity in the minds of onr publio authoritics and citizens, and that before to-morrow night thore will bo a definito undor- standing as to whiat we may expect from Gon. Bhaler's visit, aud shat he may expect from us. Moanwhilo wo extend to Lim the thanks of tho community for the friendly Interost ho has taken in our necossitios. THE DEECHER LIBEL BUIT, Boechor has at 128t gone befora the Brooklyn Grand Jury and domsnded the indictment of both Lilton and Moulton. His grounds of com- plaint againes those parties ara thelr respective atatements, published in the Daily Graphic, churging Lim with crimiual intimaoy with Mrs, Tilton, Lhly last move of Mr., Boecher everybody must commend, It comes lato, it is true, If Mr. Beeolior [s innocent, ho should bave mads it before. But if, as ho aesured the Grand Jury, the wholo toandat was only o well-luid plot to in- volve him in & sunve, aud to extort from him patronago and monoy; if Tilton aud Moulton have takon advautago of tho coufldenco ho ro- posod 11 them to draw bim into o false position and inducs him to mako ungusrded statomsuts which they afterwwards msliolously construed to hia damugo, it is not too late sven yot to show that such is the case, Tho publle will forgive tha‘mlu!flu of judgment which led M, Beccher into a postponomout of legal procecd- wgs against his allegod slanderers, pro~ vided ho can show that Lo {8 jnnocent, aud that his procrastinatiou was the reuult morely of &o orror of judgaiont, More than this, it Mr, Beocher can satablish his innoounce, or rather it Liln a0ousora catinot ostablish hiv arimivality, the NDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1874, peoplo of tho Unfted States, who Lave boon his frionds In the past, will cling to him with a lovo ©ovon deopor and mare dovatad than ovor befaro. It Boeoher bo not a vory groat criminal, he is the most porscoutod, and ought to bo tho most oxraporated, man of tho ago. Let It bo shown that bo bas beon tho objoct of covspiracy, sud o will bave tho abounding sympathy of the wholo country, Ifo has taken tha propor mons- uros at last to havo this shown, if it can bo shown, It s not at all unlikely that Mr. Boccher haa bosn lod to take (his Iust step by tho hoavy pros- suro of public opion, After the publication of Tilton’s last stotoment, no othor courso was opon to him excopt this, or to confoss bis guiit. Up to tho timo-that that statoment appoared, it was hard, but not impossiblo, to ndjudge Mr. Boochor innocont. 8lnco then, however, Mr. Doochor's sincore frionds havo folt that thoro must bo somo fire whoro thero was 8o much amoko; and they Lave fesred lho worst. His own statomont, and the Commitico's do- ' fouso of lum, sufforod vory much in contrast with tho dircctaoss, point, and logle of Tilton's and Moulton'’s statemonts, Able men like the Lov. Mr. Falrflold, of Obio, and Judgo Lord, of tho Bupetior Court of Bassachusetts, have sub- Jooted ull tho evidenae adduced to tho most rigid cviticism, aud, {ndopendently.of one anothor, renchied tho conelusion that thersis no probability i tuat Mr. Boocher can bo innocent. Amonmg all Nr. Boochor's friends, and he s not wanting in friends, not one has appoared to controvort theso argumonts of Dr. Fairfleld and Judgo Lord. With our preseut light, wo can hardly conceive how thair reasoniug can be succossfully mot. It may o, howovar, that Mr. Beockor can maot them, thiough ho haa not yot dono 8o, aud that ho has takon tho agoncy of o libol suit as tho wost proper moans todo so, Wo trust for Lis sako that it is o, Thore is not & truo man in tho wholo land but would ba dolightod to flud that ho {s inno-~ cont. And now, cousidering that Mr, Beecher has brought & criminal sction for libel ageinst “Thoodore Tilton, tho lattor can afford to drop, or at Jeast postpouo, hie sult against Mr. Boechor. *Pechnically ho will bo o gainer by tho last taove of Mr. Boechor. Tried for o criminal offense, lio will lavo tho benofit of auy reasonsble doubt which there may bo of his guilt. Ho muet bave a very poor cago if the jury do not at leadn disngreo a8 to a verdict; for, if they only disagres, o would atill bo acquitted. Mr, Tilton liea repentedly invited Mr. Beochor to take tho courso ho hiag now cotered upon. Ho alonoe Is to blame if be is not prepared to moot his antag- onist beforo a jury of his countrymen. But this case is not to bo docided in tho miuds of tho Awmerican people by tachnicalities. Tho valuo of the trial Iies not in the verdict to bo renderod by twelva men, but in the production of the avi_ donce under the forms and guarded by the pou- altis of law, CHESAPEAEKE & OHIO, 1t begins to look as if another Credit-Mobilior were cropping out above the surface,—mora mouey oxtravagantly disbursed, moro intorest uupsid, mota stock-subscriptions unpaid, more growling bondholders, more invostigations pending. It wag only o short yearago thal the fluanciers of tho concorn advertived: * Soll your United Btatos 6 per cont bouds and invost in Chesapeake & Obio Railroads, which puy 8 per cent.” A great many followed this advico and svailed themsolvesof the glittering opportunity. Whou the coupons foll due, however, the boud- Loldors found that tho intorost was not forthe coming, A breoze bogan to Llow among tho Dbondholders, and they camo rouud to tho Oap- tain's offico to seck an oxplanation. Tho ouly response thoy received was, that they had botter take more bonds instead of the money dus on intorest account., Somoe sccedod to tho proposition, and kept on pouring their money through the sieve, but othors began to look into thinga for thommselves, sud the result of thoir investigation i8 contained in a circular which has just beon issued, signod by Mossrs, A, F. Richards, M. Lowonthal, and aud E. L. Androws. This circular contains an array of statemonts whick aro uot calculated to inspire tho bondbolders with confidouce. It eays: 1. Thnt the rovenucs of tho road over tho ruuning oxpouses aro applied to now contracts instead of the paymeus of coupons, 2. That subecriptions to tho ecapital stock of tho Compsuy to the amount of $8,421,018 still re- main unpaid, aud no effort is mude to collect them. 8. 'That the monoy paid in by the bond- holders bna beon used in an extravagant man- nor, This is abown in the fact that tho road hoa cost moro than §100,000 per mile, which is only equaled by thn cost of oue othier road in tho couatry, the Coatral Pacific, and this too over & route whore the right of way was for tho most patt donated, and timber was plenty. 4. That tho Dircctors have used the money paid for bonds in buying stocks of othor rallroads, some of which ave now in tho hauds of Receivers, and will invalve total loss. As the Directors Lad no right to ueo trust-moneys in this way, the boud- Lolders claim that thoy are personally responsi- ble, and ouglt to refund the woney to the Treas- ury to weet tho overdue coupous, These bondholders, howsver, are uot dis- posed to bo eacrificed without a struggle. Thoy protest in tho most onorgetio mau- ner sgainst tho funding schemo proposed by the Dircctoss, and rofuso to surrender coupone secured by o frst licn for au unsecured abligation, eupecially when thare is no hopo for any change in the pian of mauagement, or any loss oxtravagant uss of money, and thus shut thomsolves out from joiuning in a foreclosure, They do not proposo to relinquish thoir prosent right and accopt an obligation from the Company which 1t may corry out or not at its pleasuro, hey havo therofore boldly faced tbe muslo, sud they demand tho following measures of justico: 1. That tho flrst-mortgago bondholders shall be proporly ropregonted in ‘the DBowrd of Directors, 2, That & thorough examination ehsll be made into tho logal and financial affaivs of the cor- voration, in order to rocover tho unvald sube geriptions and tho fllegal investmonts in tho stocks of other compunics, 8, That overy cent boyoud the sum necessary to operate and maintain the road shall be applied to the pay- mont of the iutercer on tho first-mortgage bonds. Sbould tho Directors refuse to acceda to theso raquests, thon the first-mortgage bond- boldera will go ahoad and. foraclose. Bhould they congant, thon the bondliolders will go alioad and investigato, If thoy do, thora I every ‘prospoct thiat they will unoarth o very respeotas blo Credit-Mobllier, and, as it will be & comimit- too of boudholdors, haviug uo intercat in covor~ ing snything up, it may be prosuwmed that tho {nvestigation will La thorough, Ouno of the most ludicrons blunders ever made by tolegraph must bo crodited to tho cable, In arvecent dlspatoh concerning th~ Pontigay pil. srimago It was saids * Beusdiotion waa given by tho Dishops Montes aud Eatrade."

A com- milteo appointod by tho Lrench Assembly in July, 1878, to consider the ocauscs of the great rlsa in tho prico of coal in France, England, and Delgium, bas just submitted a report, which de- clares that the extraordinary doarness of coal and fron in Europe sinco 1871 causod *' the de- prossion in trade from which all commoeroial countries aro sufforing,” and that it waa itself caused by the oxcossive bublding of railways in America. The presont interlinking of all com- mereial countries makos this thoory s plausiblo ono. Tho Committeo’s argumont in its bebalf s ablo and intorostisg, Tho prico of coal bogan to riso, at Noweasile, in July, 1871, Ithad previously remained stationary for two yenrs. Thorise began in Bolgium six months Inter. Tlroo months aftorwards it was felt in Franco, In Epgland, tho maximum ju- cresga of price was 166 per cont. In Bolgium, it wag 120, In France, 0. Coko rose still more. In England, its cost to tho consumor ndvanced 235 por cont. Thoro Was & proportional incroaso in tho othor countrics, Tho iron manufacture, whicli usos up one-tlurd of tho English coal- supply and ono-fourth of the Fronch, consumes coke very largoly. The price of iron thereforo rose with, though not s that of coal and coko, Tbo increased prico of tho latter was nob caused by diminished production. Tho production roso, in England, from 8 to 6 percont each yoar ; in Bolgium, about 7 ; and in Franca, 18. 'Tho strikes of miners, upon which so much strons has boen Iald, did not lsst longer, on an avorago, than a weolk. In moarly evory case, thoy woro the result of tho high prico already obtained, and thereforo could not have cansed it. Tho Franco-German wardid moscause it Daring hostilitics, stocka of coal accumulated in Northorn Franco. This section was nevor in- vadod and was alwaya open to English exports. Moreover, tho cloeo of the war mado no difference. The prico kopt ou inoronsing, The roal cause of the rise, then, must bo found in an incrensed de- mand, The iron manufacture of Englaud in- crensed onormously, As o rosult, it consumed 31 per cout of tho ocosl-supply, The greater production wae the rosult, in largo part, of the growth of the axport trade. Tho export of bar- iron, reilroad-iron, ote., rose from 1,817,000 tons in 1867 to 2,055,000 in 1872. In this laat yoar tho United Btates imported nesdy two- thirds of the 4,811,610 tons it consumed from Lingland. Our enormous demand is explainod by the fact that m 1872 wo used 2,500,000 tona in railwsy buildivg. Hore, thon, if the Com- witteo’s conolusions are true, we find tho tinal causo of tho commercial doproasion of Obriston- dom, - THE BOUTHERN NEGROES. Many of the argumeuts agaiust nogro-suf- frage usod by Scoator Morton in his colobrated cpecch of 1805 against oufranchising the blacks havo boen varified by tho ovents of tho last fow yoars. Tho faot has beon. recognizod oven in South Carolina. Tho Ropublicans of that Btato havo trombled bofore stho tureat of Elliott that an educational qualification wonld bo demandsd for the eullrago uvloss tho colored troops ceased to voto ignobly, at the bidding of the men who bribed thom. If, howover, it was over-basty in giving men mado ignoraut by slavery tho bal- lot, the inischief has boen done, It connot bo undone. We may provont it hereaftor. Tho romedy, or rathor tho proventive, is not to bo found in » Lmitation of tho suffrage. ‘That, howover desivable, Is impracticablo, 0o far a8 the prosent generation is concernod. The old idon that ignorance disqualified & man for halp- ing to rule his country was long sinco lost sight ot, Tho differcut Btatos buvo repealed their educational qualifications, or wuffered them to become a doad-lotter, and the Gouoral Uovern- ment bas cast the ballot at the foot of every one, Tho spixit of the sge is for univorsal suffrage, Opposing it is a8 uveful as aweeping baelk the tide, 'Tho qaestion then recurs, What aroweto do with the prosent genoration of Bouthern negracs? Common songo would dic- tate the polioy of hosling the wounds of the lato War, in order that race-prejudice might grad- ually dis away, and the capital mnd labor interests of tho Bouth might bo recon- ciled, Peaceful government shiould be main- tained, Dishonesty, which is tho bosetting sin, should bo promptly punisbed. Public edu- cation should be forced futo an unprecedented dovelopment, Political passion sbould be lutled.

The wounds of the War havo Deon torn open afresh, iu order that tho result- ing Lotrod might koop oue party in power. Ruce-prejudice hus beon kept alivoby opproasive logislation for tho samo puroose. Tho usual cnmity betweon tho capitalist and tho laborer has hoen avtfully sggravated by domagogues,—again for the snme purpose.
