C. Williams, at Loamington, Ont., wilh the death by drowning of fivo men and & woman who were aboard, Uniformity of railroad freights will bo o good thing, as it is eminently proper. It is only right that Detroit and Toledo, being nearer to the sonbonrd than Chieago, should pny lesa (han Chicagos; and, by tho same rulo, the folks in Peorin ought to pay more than {s charged to shippers in this city. It should not! bo forgotten, however, that conventions and agroements smount to nothing, unless the matter of weights be duly attonded to. Shippers frem Chicago havo their grain weighed ont ncouratoly, and billed at nctusl weight, whilo it is notorions that ot other points it has beon the custom, and still is, o lond elevon to thirteen tons in a car and bill it through ns ten tons only. It this unfair practico be stopped, the of- ficers of our railrond lines will be able to talk truthfully about uniformity of rates, and not till then, It s announced Lhat the question of filling the vacancy on the Suprems Bunch of the United Btates wna yestenlny seltled by tho Cabinet, and the appoinles selected by n unanimous vote, At tho request of tho Prosident the name is not to bo disclosed untiL it is sont to tho Benato next week for confirmntion, but in our dispniches this morning it ia ssserted with great positivoness that tho suecessfnl aspirant is Qen. Jomn M.

The military offlcer in command at Fort Yama conceived it to bo bhis duly to order the Company to suspend opurntions until the proper nuthority to cross the rosorvation were obtained. This could only boe had through an act of Congress, whero it would bo flercely opposed by the Texas Pacific parly, whoso chances for o subsidy decrenso as tho Southorn T'acific oxtonds its road-construction onstward without asking sny subsidy savo. the land-grant alrendy voted, ‘Tho Cnbinet decidod to allow the California capitalists to proceed with thoir line without let or hindrance from anybody, unless Congress shall sco fit to interfere, and tho Texns Pacific Ring s thus worsted badly in its first encounter with the Adminlstra. tlon, THE BTATE-HOUSE APPROPRIATION, Thero aoro occasional conspicuous and charactoristio traces In the Sringfleld State Register of ex-Gov. Paramn, who nssumed tho odministration of its destinies some months sgo, Thoy aro usually {o be fonnd in the roady defouscs of Jacon Buxx's cuter. prises and combinations, aud iy bo distin. guished by elegance of diction and nmiability in expression. A few woeks ago, ex-Gov. Paramn was engaged in defending Jaxx Busn's Penitentiary schewe, and now ho'has come around again to Jaxe Buxx's Stato. Houso specialty. Persons not ncquainted with ex-Gov. PatMen’s evenness and imper- turbability of temper might suspect him of gomng annd when he calls Chicago nowspn- per men * dead-beat roporters,” nud others might donbt whether ex-Gov, Patugn Is the cultivated and elegant gentloman his frisnds supposo:shitn to be when his articles teem with snch exprossions ny ** square meals,” ‘“freo drinks," ' get tholr oyc-testh cut,” ¢ don't care a tinker's danmn,” ute.; bot all this must bo credited to his zeal ju bebalf of overy undertaking in which Jaxx Buwx i in- toreated ot tho expense of tho Kiate, The provocation for ex.Gov. Pavuen's Inteat splenctic i was the recont intimation of ‘I'ng 'Irmune that it would be well for the Bpringfield dliquo to insist upon tho vesiguation of the prosent Board of State. Jlouse Commissloners if it desired tho tax- payers of tho' Stato to vote tho oxtra half. million dollars asked for tho completion of the State House. Ex.Gov, Paraxx does not give tho yeadens of the Jegister 1he benefit of Tux Tmpuny's roasons for this bit of advice, but nbuses Cook Counly on general principles, aud the cditor of Toy Tminowx in particular, aod makes tho wildost aud moat absurd {usinuations about tho motives of Tue Tuwexe in volunteering ihis counsel, As on exhibition of exceptional tempor in & man of 5o smiable and rofined a character 24 ex-Gov, Paraten, this slam-whaug stylo is intoresting, os any curlosity may be; but we cannot discover that it Las any bearing on ,the Stato-House deficlency Lill as i mow ;stands. Porhups ex-Gov, Parues is too ex- cited to uudenitand tho situation, and we moy as woll briefiy rextate it, in the hope ,that when ho cools down he will give tho Reglster readers the beneit of the informn. tion, ‘Tho cost of tho State-Houso wag limited DLy the Constitution to $3,600,000, which, it will be conceded, was ample under tho cir. cumstances, It was the duty of Jaxx Buxx, and Lis Board, and bis architects, to com. pleta the Btate-House within that figure, In applylug for appropriations from tima to time, Buxx and bis assoclates gave repested assurances that this would bg done. Judeed, the taxpayers Lad every rzeason to expect confidently that the cost of the building wonld not exceed the constifutional limit, because, during the last three years, the pricesof laborand material have been reduced largely below what they were when theso nssurances were given, Finally, in demanding in 1875 the last $300,000 left of the sum authorized to be expended nnder ths Counstitation, Buxx and his assoclates ogain pasoverated that this amount would finish the job without any question. The peopls were justified in their .nstonishment and susplcions when, after the last 800,000 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY., OCTOBER 10, 1877, had been spent, Buxw again raported that $700,000 more, and over and above the con- stitntional sppropriation, would atill be re- quired to complote the buailding; this was tantamount to =& confession that $800,000 drawn out of the Treasury had dono fhe work of only £100,000, or that Mr. Buxn and his confrerea hiad been deliberately decoiving the people of Illinois over a torm of years, Such a condition of thiags conld not escapo legislative investigation, and that investigation last wintor resmlted in the dis- closuro of the most reckless extravaganco and eriminal neglect (if no worse) on the partof tho Commissionors, Tho evidence before the Investigating Committeo cortainly warranted the Slate Government in kicking Buxx and hia follows out of office. But the formor’s influenco so far provailed (especially in viow of the nocessity for comploting the Stato.-House, notwithstanding past errors) a8 to induce the Investigating Committee of the Legislature lo whitewash the affair, and induco tho General Assombly to pass an ap- propriation of moro than half a million dol- lars to completo tho buildivg. Butit wns understood as a condition of this action that Busy nud his ossociates, who wore responsibla for tho previous exirava- ganco and abuses, shonld vaeate their offices, and that the expenditure of this additional half-million should boe intrusted to other men. Though Bousn nnd his Board should be gratefal for being Jot down so onsily, they have thus far neglected to com- ply with tho tacit understanding that thoy should retire. And now tho wrnth of ex- Gov. Paruer and the Bpringfleld Register bas been excited because Trre TRIBUNE ap- prehonds that the people of Illinois will re- fuso to vote the oxtra Lialf-million until they shiall bo satisfied that its oxpenditure will be intrusted to other persous than thoso who assisted in wasting 2o much of tha §3,600,000 allowed by the Constitution. Daut thisis the faot, Springfleld raving to the contrary not. withstanding. A HESINGMANIAC, A. C. Hestvo's mission is evidently to make WirLie Stonzy miserablo. Ile bears the samo rolation to Hesixa that an inobriate does to the enakes in his boots, As the dolirious wrelch sces enakes everywhere and faels them all over Lim, so Old Stoner sees the Hesixas overywhers and foels them all overbim. His life is principally dovoted to fighting imaginary Hesmos. His distorted vision iudefinitely mulliplics the senior Hrsiva and his eon. They are with him when he rises up nod when he sits down. They roost upon his headboard, and sit upon him like an inoubus in his sleep. They flit through his droams. 1o sees them in his coffeo in tho morning, and they hiss through his toapot at evening. As ho rolls along, slowly and statoly, in his chariot to attoud to lis diurnal wickedness, the sidowalks swarm with Heamas, e finds them notonly over the way from him, but in his counting- room. They go up in the elevator with him, Thoy swarm in his editorinl rooms, Thoy aro biddon undor his exchanges, ‘'Lhey stare at him from the paper on which he writes. He sulps at them with his scissors, bedaubs them with paste, and throwa his Inkatand at thew, as Lutuer fought the Dovil, but he cannot exorcise them.” Thoy will not down. If he looks across the streot, ho reos their faces in the windows of tho bailding on tho opposito side. If thero boa rap ot his door, e turns ns if expecting them 1o stalk into his room. They color his fan- clos, dictate his opinfons, and direct his nowspapor. What Hrsmio favors, Srorxy opposos, and what Hrsino opposcs, Old Wik favors. Jlo haa no opinion on any subject until ho finds out what {s Iesmna's opinjon, Consequently, if Hesxa wants tho support of tho Zimes for any measure, Lo lins only to mnke a protense of opposition to it, wheroupon tho Times zealously advocates t. It ho is opposed to any mensure, he gives Sronex to understand heisin favor of it, whereupon the editor of the Z'imes attncka it with the virulenco of A madman and the fiithiness of a flsh-woman. Thus Hesmvo rons tho T¥mes office by the rule of contrn. ries, and tho “ex-Boas,” a4 tho Times calls him, is tho roal Boss of two newspapers, both daily., A man aflictod with a mania or phobia is never a pleasunt spectacle to con. template. If Hesiva would only dis, Broney might feel relieved aud riso vp a new man, or &l least spond his rumaining days withont soeing Lizamvos in his boots, but in the nat- ual order of things Hesivo must ontlive Old Wit by twenty-five or thirty years, and continue to beathorn in the flesh, Tho spectacle wonld not be so pitiable it he wore only making himsclf absurd, but Lo ia mak. ing himself elck in mind and Lody, s he wanders nlout like the Anciont Mariner, doomed to carry the burden of Lis offense. 1t iy » sad sight. A MOMENTOUS TRIAL IN LONDON. The FPengoe murder-cass, jnst brought to a counclusion in London, I8 destined to tako n permanent placa in tho records of crime, 1t bag recelved an unusuil dogrea of atten. tion from tha metropolitan press, the Times slope surrendering ten columns to the report of tho laat day's procoedingy. Tho trial ex- tonded over geven days. During that time tho Ol Bailey was thronged, aud thousands wore unablo to gain admission. Popular intorvst in tho evidence, the speeches of the lawyery, and the summing.np of the Judge was attested by an enormous sale of the ro. poria; and i all grades of soclely the trial was tho chief topis of conversation, dwarf- iog for o time Mr, Grapsronz's last pam. phiet, Tarzrs' political testament, axd the let- ters of special correspondents at the seal of war. A verdict was reashed on the 26th ult., the jury finding the four de. fendants guilty, but recommending to mercy two of them. The two thus favored were women, and the Judge intimated, in deliv. eripg sentence, thai they would probably escape the last penalty of the law, No sim- 1lar recommendation, however, was mads on bahalf of the men, sud they will bo executed. ‘The facts brought out by the witnesses are eagre, and the evidence is purely ciroum. stantial; but it is possible to gather from the Judge's charge what poluts wero considered essential. Y ‘The murdered person was HaBRisT BTAUN- 70X, 'The accused were her busbaud Louts, Lis Lrother Parsick, the wife of Patmick, aud tho sister of that wife. The evidence showed ttat Lovis married Hangter Bravarox for the sako of a small sum of money which she possessed, amouating to noj more than £4,000, 8ho was n woman of feeble mind, and, when it was seen that she contewplated marrisgo, hier mother attewpted to place her under the protection of a court of chancery. But 24 the woman was 35 years of ago and seamod Lo possess testamentary capacity, the Court refused lo interfere. Boon after her marrisge, her husband, who had iskon care that there should beno marrisge settlements, obtalned control of her ready mouey. At the same time, if not previously, be entered into illicit relations with his brothes's sistar- in-law, ArLice Raopes, alrendy mentioned as one of tho ncensed, When the decensed was about to be confined, Arice Ruopes was liv- ing in tho same house, and was even thon snspected of improper relations with Lotis 8ravsron. Whether thiswerothe fact ornot, there can ba no doubt that such relations existod a short timo subsequently.. Soon after the birth of a child, Mrs. Iovis Braun- TON was removed to a country-house where Mr. and Mre, PaTriox Sraunrton were living, and was kept there, virtually a prisonor, till a few days boforo her death. Sho oconpled a small room in common with soveral others. Only the meanest food, and that not in suffi. clent quantities, was allowod her. No wash. ing apparntus or water was plnced in her room, When sho died, herbody was reduced to the Inst atages of emaciation and covered with vermin, Meanwhile her husband was living in & farm.house about s mile distant with Azrce Rumopes, who passed ns his wifo. This houso was purchased with the money brought to Louis Sraus- tox by the wife who was oven then being slowly starved to denth, Anif slarva- tion were not enough, the poor woman was benten by her husband, his brother, and hia brother's wife. In order jo seoure tho trans. fer of her roversionary rightain certnin prop- erty, it was necessary that sho should go be- foro & Commissioner in London. -On her first appearanco eho was 8o nervonn and con- atrainod that tho Commissioner wdvised her to come ngain; when she returned, a week afterwards, she had ablack eyo which her huaband had given her, The lenrned Judge, in summing up, dwelt oxhaustigely upon this black oye, and demonstrated its impor- tant bearing on the case, The second visit to tho Commissioner in London was mado on the 23d of Octobor, 1876, From that date until the 12th of April, Mrs. Lous StaUN- Ton continued to reside at the residence of her brother-in.law, near Norwood, During all this time, nlthough failing gradually and evidently appronching ler end, she had no medical attendance, On tho 12th of April sho was removed to Penge by the four de- fondants, Ble wns thon 8o wenk that she conld not walk, aud it wns nocessary tq carry her from the milway carrisge on n mattress. The day of her arrival at Penge a doctor was summoned for the first time; tho next day sho died. Hor child, it is important to no- tico, was removed to Guy's Hospital fonr days before tho death of Mrs. SraunTon, and dieil thoro o few hours after its ndmission, Two romarks are mado upon this trial by the London newspapers. TFirst, it is o sin- gular fact that tho four persons accused wero convicled on the evidoncs of one wit- ness, n servant named Avtox Brown, The accused wore not permitted to lestify on their own bohalf, and Arice Browx, who might hinvo Lind an interoet ns an secomplico to ecroon horsolf, was ablo to muko hor oath worth the lives of all of them., Her ovi- dence was corroborated, of course, by many minor clroumstances, nnd thoro is no sorious question s to her voracity, Dut thore has seldom been so important a conviction on oral testimony so slender, An- othor subject brought into a strong light by the trinl is tho proporty rights of married women in England. Under tho laws of many othier countrics Mrs, Srauxtox's money, afler her death, would have been distributed among her kindred, unless she hod mado a a will in her husband's favor; and ho counld not have extorted from her by cruelty a will that would be likely to stand a contestina court of law. THE WEST S8IDE PARK BOARD, ‘We rogard the appointwent of an ontire new Bonrd for tho managemont of tho Weat Bide parks a8 the wiaest course that conld bo takon under tho circumstances. This courso rellovea both the Governor and the peoplo of the West Division from tho mecesmty of taking sides in tho disputes and wrangloa that havo arisen in tho old Board. 1t be- camo a house divided sgainst itsclf, There woro charges'and counter-oharges, with tho result of an inextricable and intorminable squabble. Tho publio had no interoat in the personal differences and mutual criminations among the mombors, but it was evident that tho affairs of the parks could not bo econom- feally and wisely alministored while thore was o constant jangle. To remove ono fac- tion would be simply to continue the fight in some other shape; to retain both wounld be to sencrifico the publio intercsts to personal disputes, so tho real remedy waa to make a clean awoop of tho old Board, sod appoint 8 now set of men who sliould command confidenco without parti. sanahip, and requiro no defonso or vindica- Sion. 'Thisis what tho Governor has done after considersble hositation snd delay, and tho gontlomen solectod are Messrs. Jomn A. Trrnyry, Peres Sonvrries, Jory Braxnocs, Avaust Meyen, 8 H, McOrea, and Witrann Woopanp, Mesers, Tysaewy, Scuvrries, McCaii, and WoODARD are widely known es old and responsible citizens, and the other gontlemen are favorably spoken of by those who ore nequalntod with thenf. Mr, Bran. Noox {8 an Irishman, engaged in the pork. pncking business, is regarded a8 a responsi- ble business man, and ia thought tobe well fittod for tho place. Mr. Mereanis a Gorman lumber mercuant, aod likowise stands well iu tho business community, Messrw, Mo. Caxa and Woopanp take the places vacated rospectively by Messra. Greexxsiva and Sonurrz; Mr, Honvurz's ime had expired, and Mr, Grexxenavs willingly tendered his resiguation. Tho other members of - tho Board that have been rotired to make room for thoso alrendyuutned are Moesrs, Horpry, Lipk, Minuanp, and Mous. It {s sald that sotne of thoso gentlemen contomplate resist- ing the Governor's action, But their friends, it wieo mep, will advise them not to do so, for such a course would subject thom to the suspicion that thoy have not Leen blameless in tho disputes that havo arisen. The office of Park Commissloner i3 one mnot to ba especially desired by men whohave affairs of their own to attend to; if thespgentlemen have discharged thelr duties faithfully, they aro entitled to o rest, snd, if uot, tho public is entitled to o change. A new Loard throughout will bring new energy snd new harmony into the admiuistration; and, if any of the retiring Conunissioners have beon derelict In duty or aro now indcbted to the Board, the new Commissioners will ascertain the fact, and the, present controvorsy will be terminated. The publio has learned with o good deal of satisfaction that the long struggle be- tween ‘the City Council and tho ges com- ponies has been ferminated by the sgree- ment to pay the West Side Company 82 and the Bouth Side Company $1.65 per 1,000 feet. It becamo evident some time sgo that these wers the lowest prices that could bo secured without protracted litigation, which would probably bave cost the city morein the long run than the difference between §3 and $1.85, and $1.65 and $1.50 per 1,000. The dispate Las been lengthencd out by the ex. istenco of threo or four factions in tho Coun. cil. A pumber of the Aldermen believed that the prices finally nagreedl upon were abont fair; others, thinking them fair, still instated upon n lower rate in order to curry favor with their constituents; a very few honeatly believed the gns compnnies ought to supply the city at tho rate of £1.85 and $1.50; and perhaps thora wero somo who insistod npon lower rates, in the lhope that the gas compnnies wounld offor them an in- ducement for voting tho higher figure. At all events, it I belfoved that no money hns passed botween tho gas companies and the Aldermen, and, by reducing tho sizo of the burners from poven to five foet and the price abont #$1 per 1,000 all nround, the present Council have succeoded in loweringthe nggre- gato cost to tha city so as to make tho publie oonsumption of gas about as chenp in Chi- ongo as in Any other city in the conntry, If a large number of lampa in tho ontlying and unsettled districts conld bo.shut off alto- gether, there would be nothing loft to desirs in tho mattor. Some thnnslndn. of lamps continue to light unoccupied, open prairie spaces, NEW YORK'S WATER SUPPLY. Now York City is confronted with a groat and gerious problem, viz. : How to sccure an adequate, permanent, and trustworthy sup- ply of wator, Tho necassity for somo other supply than that drawn from the Croton, or at all events somo additional supply, lns been made apparent this fall by the long drought in New York and vicinity just pre- coding tho heavy rain.storm of lnst Thurs- dny, Dauring the month of Beptember tho rainfall wns less than an inch and & half, and this wns entirely absorbed by the thirsty earth, leaving no water to roplenish the streams that foed Croton Lake. The Com- missioner roported prior to tho recent rain. fall that no water had passed over Croton dam for ninoty days, and during that time the supply for Now York City .was drawn from fourtcen small and distant Inkes, and from some of thom wunder very doubtful authority of law. At all events, the New York Bonrd of Public Works had sarious conflicts with property-owners in the neighborhood of these lakes, and if one day an opening wero made by thoBoard, it wonld be dommed up the noxt by tho nggrieved property-ownors, It was claimed not morely that the draining of theso lakea ddmnged their properly, but that it was also dotri- montal to the health of the fubabitants by promoting malariul disordors, In tho mean- time, it became necessary to practice’ tho greatest economy in tho conwumption of wator in the city. ‘I'he flowing of all the public fountains was percmptorily stopped, and tho residonts of New York were forbid- don to uso their hand-hoso; the ordinary supply was 5o weak that a signal Lad to be ‘established to notify tho koopers of the resorvoir to increase it in caso of an ont- brenk of fire. Tho extrnordinary rainfall of Jast weck on the Eustorn coast will afford temporary reliof in all probability. Though n fall of four inches of rain is regarded s exceptional even In Sonthern clitnates, it Is reported that. four fuches fell within twenty-four honrs in and about Naw York, or as muuh as thero had beon duriug the provious two montha, The rain.atorm which was costly to thecoast, to tho Pennsylvania mines, and the Now Eogland farms in the damago it csused, was ® pgreat guin to New York City, It may afford temporary rolief to that city, but the lesson of the long drought shonld induce tho engineers to cast sbont for sowno additional supply of watar. Itisn well-known fact, amply demonstrated on tho occasion of twd or three largo fires in Now York City, that tho supply of water at the best I8 inadequato to any extraordinary de- mand, and tho experionce of the past sum- mer shows that it may, under excoptional conditions, prove inndequata oven for tho ordinary health nnd convenienco of city uso. ‘What measures of reflef will bo snggeated we do wnot know, but the matter ‘Is abont the most importaut that oan ocoupy tho nuthori- ttes of tho eity mud Htate, und toaches by contraat tho great advautages enjoyed by Chicago with its inexhaustible supply of pnro lake water, with its two Inko-tunnels and two independent sots of steam.pumps, and the opportunity for ificreusing indefinitely and at small cost the appliances fora supply equal to every possible demand. ——— The Register inudvertently roveala the Bpringfleld desigus by figuring up the ex. ponses that city incurred in order to retain tho distinction and profit of boing the Btate Capital.
