For the rest, thoy ore advocates of the malignant polley of hate, apologlats for the whisky thieves, con. sumers of tho negro as political povender, sympathizers with officlal corruption and plunder, and persistent opponents of every- thiuk looking toward the pacification of the South, the purification of the pubfic service, and honesty and retronchment in tho admin. istration of publio nffairs. ‘Thoy have all beeri moro or less brulsed and thwacked by Tue TissuNe according to tholr deserts and calibre, aud in the absenco of pluck, snusele, aud Lrain-tissne, they Lave submit. ted to their punishment with whimporing proterds or jmbecile resontment. It was chivaleio in tho veteran spinster to come to their rescus, Chivaley ls a conspicuous char. The ordinance pessed by the Common Conncil Inst Monday night in the interost of quart boxes that fiold a quart, and sound berries and fruits instend of rotten ones, will, i¢ it is enforced, prove n blessing to every family in this city aud fill the heart of avory housakeeper with joy. The morciless and corrupt dealer in frult or berries has bitherto had the consumor fn his clutches, and fleeced and Awindled him with impunity beenuso there was nothing in the laws of the city to protect his victim. Ho has sold him pints for quarta and gills for pints, and after swindling him in tho quantity hns added in- sult to injury by awindling him in tho qual- ity., With unblushing cheok he has com- polled him to take boxes with their boltoms hnlf wayto tho top of the boxand with {also sidos, o that ho has beon cheated up ond down, lengthways and sidoways, in mensuro and in bulk. Not content with this {nfamous fraud, the dealer dumps into the doceitful box as many greon or rotten barries as it will hold without appenr- ing on the eurface, and then covers them with sonnd oncs, thna {nflicting a double in- jury. The ordinanco passcd by the Conneil fortunatoly covers both these procossos of swindling, It provides, in tho first place, that * it shall bo unlawful for any person to gell or offer for sale fruits or berrios within the Oity of Chicago, excopt by the barrol, bushel, or soma aliquot part of & bushel, ac- cording to tto tablo of dry mensurcs, nor shall it bo Inwful to sell fruit or berries in packoges, except every such package con. tains n barrel, a bushel, or some aliquot part of a bushel, naccording to the tablo of dry mensures ”; and, in the second place, that # pll fruits or borvles, fresh or dried, sold or offered for pale fu the Oity of Chicago in packages, shall be of oqual goodness in overy part of tho packago.,” The ordinance is a righteous one, and it onght to ba enforced to tho very lotter, Itis, in tho first place, a protoction of the indlvidual. It guarantocs him in obtalning what he pnays for, Hither- to, it ho bought o quart of strawhorries, ho got a pint, If ho bought what purported to be a peck of peaches, lio got half a peck, and in cach instauce lalf the sirawberries and penches woro rotten. It has boen o froquout proctice of some peach.doal- ers, for iunstance, whon a housekeeper ordered » quantity of penchos for prosorving to fill tho baskets from two piles,—the ono rotten, and the other sound,—snd to mako the proportion two-thirds unsound to one- third sound, 1f a buyer lins. any rights at all, which appears to bo somowhat doubttul, ho has a night to obtain a full quart of sound borries, or & full peck of sound peaches, whon he pays for such measure. In Eastern markets the berrics or frnit ara piled up ona table, and tho dealor mensures the quantity naked for in tho regular monsures snd emp- tica them {nto the box or basket, That is what wo want here. Again, Chicago is the great distributing point of fruit and berries from tha South, California, and the castern shoro of Lako Michigan, over an immense oxtent of country, so that this fraudulent business affects not aslone the consum- ors of Chicsgo, but of a large aron throughout the West, and even the Enst, The ordinance also is in the di- rect intoreats of health, Bound fruit is ‘wholesome and of groat value as a prevent- ive of disease, It is Nature's groat summer medicine, Upsound fruit, on the other hand, jsnmure provocative of discase, especlally among children. In whatever way the ordinance is looked at, it Is o dlessing, 'The plea of the deslers that, as they have alrendy laid in summer stocks on the fraudulent basis, they ought 1o ba allowed to dispose of them lest they inour loss, is a8 rotten as much of the fruits they sell. Tt ls tantamount to eaying that, s they hiave chested for sovernl yoars past and have made all their arrangements for oheatiug this year, they ought to bo allowed to be dishonest this summer, to swindle tho community through the fruit months of 1877, ond in 1878 they will be honest, and sell a quart for & quart, This won't do. ‘Chey have already been dishonest too long. If they lose soything this summer, §t will be more than offset by their profits during post summers, wrung out.gf. tho holploss consumers, Ths mean, The Iatest discovery at Washington of the crooked practices of the late manago- mont of the Navy Dopartmont has somo peoulinr foatnres.

The railrond rates from Chicago to New York aro 0 cents per 100 pounds on corn, or 16} cents per busbel, to which must bo addoed the charge of 1 cont for “trimming” ou the cars (a charge not made for londing on the vessels), making the total by rail 17} conts por buskol, or mare than double the water-rate, Under thls conditlon of things, New York has only to keep down tho tormiunal charges to tho sates ruling at other seabonrd cities to rogain all its former supromacy in handfing the grain of the Weat that is shipped abroad. A conslderation of moro vital concern to Ohicago, howover, ia the fact that the Penn. sylvanin and Baltimoro Railroads can praotice 10 discrimination against Chicago which will provail ogainst theas water.rates. The points to the west and sonth which have been fa- vored by these voads with rates that enabled them to ship grain a greater dlstance to Daltimore and Philadelphia at a less prico than it conld be shipped from Chicago to those cities must now give over their awbi. tion to rival Obicago, and to acquire its busi- ness with the unfair nselstance of tho ril. voads, The railroads cannot live by making dlscriminating rates to these poiuts which will compete with the present water-sates; 50 that Ohicsgo, jn addition to its advautages inthe wey of capital and handling,-will henceforth bo abla to take the grain of all the West, Bouthwest, and Northwest, and send it o the seaboard at a less cost than aay other competing city. In other words, tho farmer and country dealer can get & bot- ter prico for their grain by sonding it to Ohl- cago than by sending it to any other point, which assures the groin trade of this city. ‘The prospect for the future is that the wa. ter.rates will be oven lower thau thoy aro now, instead of higher, Now York can never afford to renew the practice of extor~ Tho bill crenting four Appeliste Courts, ono in ench of four districts, hns passed the Legielaturo, and, if approved by the Gor. ernor, will become a Inw, Its passage in ita prescut form is mnch to bo rogretted. The bill, as originally prepared, was calcu- Inted to expedite the admimstration of justice and rolleve the Suprome Court of masa of cases whero tho issuea aro matters of fact rathor than of law, DBut that branch of the logol profession—more forcibly than elogantly described as one-horse lawyers, oud largely, we foar, ropresonted in the Log- {alnturc~saw an_opportunity to vote on in- cransa of counsel foes in appoal cases, and theroforo manipulated the bill for that pur- poso. OF all logal obaurditics, an Appeal Court without authority to detormine an op- peal s the most extrsordinary. This bill waa to creato Appellate Courts having an- thority to hear and finally decide appenls in o cortain cliss of cascs whero tho amount in controversy is less than £1,000. To that extont the bill was unobjeotionable and com- mendsble, But the Legielature amendoed the bill requiring all appoals to be taken first ,to thess Appellate Courts, and thenoo to tho Bupreme Court. The objoct of this was to compel parties— appollants and appellees—to pay counsel feos for attending to cases in this Appellate Court, in additlon to the foes for attending to the cases in the Buperior Court, It is the erootion of a toll-gate on the road to tho Su. prome Court, at which all Jitigsuts must pay toll to tho attorneys, without the slightost pretense of service renderod. Though the scandalous character of this provision was over and over prescnted to tho Legialaturo, the schemo was brazenod through, and the Appellate Court bill was only allowed to pass with that disgraceful scheme in it. It Vs possible that the Governor may yot veto the bill. ol inatutn i —— ‘Tho eablo dispntches furnish this morning at little that is importaut concerning the i vents on the Danube and in Asia Minor, tis sald that the Russian movements in toumania aro conducted with grest silonce {,1.nd secrecy, so that tho correspondents find ¥irt extremely difieult to obtain reliable intel- '{-‘{vigmcu of what is going on.
