A merciful oxplanation of the disroputable conduct of ex-Congreasman Vaxce, of Ollo, is nfforded by the nction of the Probata Court ot Gallipolis, by which Col. Vaxox has Leen adjudged insane nnd placed in an nsylum ot Athens for treatmont, Enropenn royalty is faring ly just now in the matter of physical health, Now it is Queon Meroroes, the young brids of Ar- voNso, King of Spain, that is on the sick listy nnd her condition, through the occur- ronco of violent homorrbages, is the causo of great anxioty.

The people of Rookford, Ill., wera yes. torday troated to a dose of * suppositi- tious" journalism aftor tho style affected by tho Chicago Times. Thoy wore intonsely ngitated by tho publication yesterday in a local shoet of an ntrocious hqax, in which tbo mest fearful possibilities of a»general Communistic uprising throughout America woro served up as sctunl occrurrences, The porpotrator will renp his just reward in the contempt and detostation of an outraged community.

W, A Brevcen, of the Clark-Btreet Methodist Church, unqualified approval is expressed in referenca to tho infliction of the law's most terrible penalty in tho cases of Suznsy and CoxneLLY, —— Mr. Warrensox, of the Loulsville Courter- dJournal, w30 was bounced out of the Demo- cratic caucus uot Jong sgo by Mr, Hewirr, TiLoex's cbief fuglomen and cup ond con. scicnco boarer, bus addresscd an open letter to tho latter in which he charges Lim with perfidy to the party aud the betrsyal of Mr, TipeN.

If he re. fuses to orbitrate, the coyptry will be com. pelled to beliove Mr. WarTinyon's charge is true., It will not do to show the whito fuath. er. If bo won't fight, he must arbitrate, J. H.

Gen. Rosszr, also of Louisiana, was thoe rescuer of the lady on the occasion in question, and aduel is certain to follow, It isemd that Acxrew odmits having compromised the Indy by his conduet, and stands ready to make her the only reparation in his power, ~—presumably an offer of marriage. Ile charges Gen, Rossem with gross misrepre- eentation in the versionof the scandal which the Intter made publie, and hence the pro- posed hoatile meeting aczording to * the code,” The Common Conneil has fixed this even- ing as the timo for voting on tha ordinance repealing the ordinance for opening Doar- born atreet. It will bo romembered that tho repealing ordinanco was passed soma time in April, but waa votoed by the Mayor. Tho question is one of considerable magnitude, It involvesa linbility on the part of the city nmounting to perhaps n million and a quarter of dollars, We know thia fa de. nied by interested parties, but it is ap open question of law to be determined mined by the courts, and it is concoded that, #0 long as the ordinance opening the streot is not repealed, no liability atiaches to the city. The Supreme Court in the State street cago “declared that the city did not bacoma liable undor tho repeal of the ordinance opening that street ; but it is claimed that in the Dearborn’ streot caso the city has gono much further; that it has to some extont nc~ copted the condomned property, has collocted nssossmonts, and paid out benefits, and practically exorcisedan ownership over the new street. Thero is, thereforo, a question of liability by tho eity which cannot be raited so long as the matter rosts as it is, Lut which will at once be raised by suits the moment the original ordinanco is repealed. Wa are informed, moreover, that thero is a case Involving circumnstances of the same goneral charnotor now ponding before the Supreme Court, the decislon of which will foreshadow what the decision will beina cnsa raised by the ropeal of tho original ordinance. Tho case goes up from Hyde Tark, and ig sald to include facts and cir- cumstances substantially identical with the Denrborn street opening, Is it not advis- nble, therefore, for the City Council to go more slowly n this mattor? Ib is cortainly most ndvixable to wait until the Bupreme Court shall hinve pnssed upon the Hydo Park caso, and then, in the light of the law as declared in that cnse, act intelligontly nnd advisedly in, the Denrborn atrect business, —— THE POTTER FARCE WOUND UP BY A ‘WOMAN, Tho Porren balloon Las burst. The se- orot s out, and the Domocrats in Congress have discovered, all too Jate, how eggrogious- ly and contemptuously they have been fooled, deceived, and betrayed by their own malice. They have been in consultation with Ax. persoN, sud lave been informing tho conn- try for many months that in somo mys- torious way thoy lad discovered evidenco enough to ronder Jomx SnenyaN infamous ; to drive *him from the Cabinet; and to so involvo Haves as to forco him to rosign. What this great crimo was, and whnt the evidence, has beon a mystery. Bo strong was tho assurance, that the wholo Deomocratic party in Congress, with two ox- coptions, voted for the investigation that was to dostroy Suenaay and Havzs, Axprugox produced a copy of o letter pur. porting to-have beon nddressed to him by Buensan, He claims that tho letter was brought to him by Wxner; ha novor had tho original, and had been vainly trying to got it. IIo states that he aud Wemen wrote a jolnt note to Bnenxaw, asking: n writton guaranteo that they wonld be provided for by Havzs if they adhored to their official protest against the frandnlent clections in thelr districts, and that in roply Wenen showad him the letter of Smenuan. Beyond this Anpenson did not go, and the Porren Committes have boon investigating for fur- thor proof to substantiate the lottor. The Cowmmitteo has discoverad that AxpxnrEoN wna an unmitigated scoundrel, lisr, and cor- rupt officinl; but Anprnsox was not Snen. uax, They demonstrated that Levissez had rojooted tho enormous bribo offered him by tho Democrats to sell his Electoral voto to Tipev; but that was not Buemaay, The mystery which had surrounded the wholo history of that latter was unoxplained. Jonx Suenuan could not explain tho lotter. ‘The original was not produced, and Snensay could not toll whether ho had over signod such a lottor or not, but thought he had not. At last o womann was produced upon the sceno, Tho Porrer Committee had bronght her all tho way from New Orleans. Sho had the scerot, and they were determined to have it. Tho secrot which had bafiled and per- plexed tho ablest Jawyers, tho sharpost politicians, the shrowdest oditors, which could not be explained on- any hypothosis, —this secrot was in the possession of a woan, and sho had kept it sacredly, even from her husband, for eightoen months, At Inst Buensan was to be overwhelmed, con. founded, aud convieted. Bo thought the Burren-Porren Committce, ‘T'ho woman, Mra, Jexxs, was equal to the occasion. Bho had the secrot, and sho told it, but to the shame oud mortificstion of the Committee. Dutres, and MoMauoy, aud Seninozn, and Mosumsox, and Bracknoey were all thoro, aud & woman overwhelmed then, and has reudered the Porrer Commit. teo tho laughing.stock of the country and a disgraco unto themselves. The pocret was a plain story. Anpensox had officially protest. ed ngainst tho clection frands; Lo was will. ing for Domocratio money to deny his pro- tost: 1o wonted s written guarantes from Buenyax to bo provided for by Haves; this woman wasawaro of his motive, Wrmen gave her the joint noto to deliver to Buxa- aaN. Bhe opened and read it. Bho saw that Buzruay would refuso to give tho guar- nutee, and then AxpxusoN would take the Democratio bribe; tho falso election roturns would bo counted, and the vote of the Btate Lo given to Tivey. Promptly she mns. tered tho situation..

CORN-GRADING IN BALTIMORE. ‘The Philadelphia papers are rejoicing over what they consider tho shortsightednass as well as unfairness of Baltimors in tho corn trade. There is, it scems, a differonce in valuo of corn in Baltimore and Philadelphin of 6 to 8 cents per bushel, according {o the grading by the local inspectors, which grad- ing detormines whother corn is to be shipped by stoamer or by sail. That which is graded ns pnfit for transportation excopt by steamer commanda 6 to 8 cents per bushel less. Tho inspection Lusiness is also roprosented as straugely managed. Uniformity of Inspeo. tion scoms to be of the least possible con. cern, aud is neither sought nor desired. ‘The Grain Committes do businosa after this fashion: They require samples of corn to be shown thom two or three times a week, and on thess samples in- struct the inspectors as to the grading of corn, tho Committes thns taking the in. spection out of the hands of tho inspactors and into their own, Instead of the Grain Committoo establishing, as in all other cities, nstandard of grading, and leaving the in- spectors to do tho work, this Baltimore Com- mittee has a new standard overy two or tliroe days, and corn ‘shipped from Chicago under a grading made on Mondsy will ba subjocted to o now grading on its arrival on Wednesdsy, nnd may be rated ot n loss of 6 to B cents per bushel. Tho effect of this kind of business has been to drive from Baltimoro to Philadelphia fully 50 per cont of the cxport trado of tho former city, nnd tho Philadelphia papers are aounting the numbers of millions of bushels of grain which have beon sont to Philadelphia this sonson that would have gone to Baltimore hiad it not beon for the strange and extraordi- nary system of {nspection. Of the corn re- celved in Philadelphin in May, 83 per cent was graded o8 sail and 11 per cont as stoam- er, leaving only 6 per cont nsrejectod. Dur- ing tho first half of Juno ovor 90 por cent was inspectod as sail, 3 por cont as stoamor, nnd G por cent rejocted, - In Brltimoro the inspeotion systom {s airected to hava ns littlo gradoed as uail corn and s much per steamer ng possible, Two purposes seem to bo sought: Ono is to give ns much business to the stenmers ns posaible, and the other to build up a reputation for Baltimors sail corn a8 {o give a superior valuo to which it {snot entitlod. Neither of these purposes fs hon- est. It is a breach of persounl good falth and commorclal honor towards shippers, and Baltimore has, it seoms, sufferad for it cxtonsively. Wo are informed that ono shipper from this city rofused to accept the grading placed on his corn i Baltimora aud bad it shipped on his pri- vata account, and it sold in Liverpool at par witl the highest Baltimoro gradings. Wo are informed further by a shippor that he consigned 200 car-loads of corn to Baltimora, oud, becnuse of tho system of gvading of which ke henrd, he had tho consignment di- verted to Philadelphia. Bix conts a bushel in tho valuo of corn {8 o matter of magni- tude, and, unlesa tho Baltimore inspection system be changed, it is possiblo that no moro corn will be sent from ‘the North. west in that direction, and Philadelphia will reap tho grand trade which tho Wost, and especinlly Chleago, has boen laboring to place In the Iap of Baltimote,” but which that city seems doterminod to ropel.

THE YIRE LmrTs, There is now pending in the City Couneil, at tho Instance of CurLenToN, a proposition to mmend the ordinance prohibiting the constrnction of wooden bulldings ‘within the city limits, so ns-to permit such build- ings to bo erected in some portions of the dangerons Southwestern distriet. This is o most unwise measure, and tho Council should meet it firmly. Once amond the law for tho Bixth and Beventh Wards, and thero . will b a like demand from other wards, un- til the whole law will bo practically broken down. Btrict justice demands that tho law shall bo uniform, aud exemptions from the operation of lnware not only illegal in them. sclves, but very unjust to the mon.ox- empt. Tho experienco of tha last four yoars ought to bo conclusive on the subject of this prohibition of woodon buildings. Binco that tmoe minoy lundreds of brick and stope buildings have been orooted in all parts of the city, nnd especinlly in the Wost Division, under the guarantces of tho suti-wood law. - These poople have built permancnt improvemonts under the logal as- surance that thero should bo nomoro wooden structures. The oxistenco of that law hns encouraged the erection of mauy hundrods of brick buildings which would not otherwise hove boen built, and to ropoal that law, or modify it, would be nn abandonment of n policy which has producod so much bonefit to the aity. To grant the demand now beforo tho Council will ba to invite spplications from other parts of thocity claiming to bo as meritorious ag the oue granted, and tho Council cannot discriminate, but if one lo- cality bo excaptod from the operations of the law, then all others must. It needs but this foolish action of the Council in one case to furnish a pratoxt for tho goneral ndvance of ratos of insnranco on all kinds of proporty in the whole city. Will members of the Conueil estimate what the sdvance of & quarter or one-balf per cent in tho rates of insuranco will coat this city? The insurance companies noed ouly a slight pretext—and especially such a one as the ropoal of tho prohibition against new wooden buildings—to bavo evory insur- anoa compauy in tho United States order an advance in all ratesin this city, The pormanent spponranco of our buildings— business and residonco—han groatly improved since 1874, and tho Copncil will find that the only safe courso for .the city to follow s to 'adfiero firmly to ths prosent law, and inslst upon its rigid onforcoment. A few yoarsmoro of experionco and improvement will removo overy question sa to the wisdom of tho law, e —— ‘We have moro than once called publio at- tention to tho alarming growth and dimen. slons of the rald which the South is organiz- ing againat tihPablic Treasury to make good itsloages incurred during the War of the Re- Lollion.
