It Is n fact wortlh noticing that since the peopla spoke for honesty nnd economy on the 6. of November propositions for re- trouchuacnt roceive rospectful consideration in tho County Doard, and a disposition is shown to ndiit the poasibility of abolishing usoless offices, and of yeducing the general expenses of the county. Dublic sentiment is a power when expressed through the ballot-box. The Yellow.Fever Commiasion appainted by the Burgeon-General of the Unitod Btates is now well started upon ita iuvestigation of tho important question of cause nnd effoct in connection with the fearful epidemic. In Memnphiy the local authorities are giving tha, wmont liberal aid and co-operation to the brauch of the Commission working m that uity, with a promlso of acquiring information of the utmoat interest and value, — Tho long-pending case of the Village of Iiyde Park against the Northwestern Fertiliz- g Compavy, involvieg tho question of tho power of the village anthorities to suppresy that institution as a nuisance, has been do. ¢lded by the Bupreme Court in favor of the suffering nostrils of the people of Hyde Tark. ‘The Company claimed exemption from interforence nuder ita charter, but the Boprome Court decides that. tho police powers conferrod by the Btate Constitution for the suppression of nuisances injurious to the public health may bo lawfully excrcised in spite of the charter, Bauven A.

Ho was quite an old man, and his death may clearly e tracesblo to the excitement and worry attendant upon the campamgn just closed, and jn which ho was defeatod for tate Senator.

Two days afier the cleotion, when it 488 ono, was known how bad Decrus ran behind the Democratio vote, it was openly daclared that Forsrra should be connted out if he had a majority. Thesa delayed rotarns from Jas. per County seem to confirm that boast, Some of the enornious ballob-box frands perpetrated in the Bouthern Btates at the November elections, samples of which wors cited in the letter of Judge Mxcxry, of Honth Caroling, are in & fair way to be ventilated at the opening session of the Forly-sixth Congress. It is expected that soveral sents will be contested by the Repubilcan candi dates who ware both stuffed out and counted out, not with the expectation that any meas- ure of justice and fairness will be secured from the Demoeratio majority, but to the end that through the contests the shame. fal facts in the various cases may be made known in an official form to the people of the conntty. Evidence wll be forthcoming to provs that frandulent votea were stuffad into the ballot-boxes by tons of thonsands, and that in many in- stances tho Democratic clection officers ro. tarned majorities greatly in excess of the entire Democratio vote. Sevoral Btates of the Solid Bonth coma to the Congress of the United Btateslonded down with & burden of outrage nud frand which must rest upon the shoulders of the Democratic parly as » whole, noless shaken off by a refusal to award sonts .to the holders of certifleates which certify to a lio. The partisan dis- honesty of the outgoing House in the de- cision of contests has just beon rebuked in the most emphatic manner in the heavy ma. Jorities oast for Frerp, of Massachusetts, and Berronp, of Colorado, and the lesson is ono which the Forty.sixth Honsa will do well to haed. THE COMMEROIAL CONVENTION, The delegate Convantion called in the general intorost of oxtending our foraign tende will mest to.day in Chicago. Tho Convention itgelf promizes to be a large The dealared objeot is most commend- nble, aud one in which the whole country is deeply interasted. The productive ndustry of the Unitod States isin one scnee in its infancy. Our agricultaral and minoral pro. ductiona havo alrendy assumed gigantio pro- portions, and are yot incronsng with wonder- ful vigor. Dospite our unlimited resources of raw materials, our immense eystem of in- tornal transportation, our inexhaustible sup ply of fuel, aud sbundanca of choap food, ‘wo nro but just now emerging from the con. dition of werely manufactaring for our own uso, when In fact we ought to be furnishing other Iands with our goods at rates choaper than thoy can be produced or mold else- where, One of the highly.commendable purposes of this Conventlon is to urge such measures s will enable our manufaoturers to sell their productions not only in all parts of the world, bat espoclally in'the States on tho American Continent, whero we are aven less koown commercially than in Furope and Asin. Of courso we seok legitimate trado. Wa are nsking of Moxico, and Canads, and Brazxil, and Cuba, and Obili to extand a wel- come and a falr markat to all the productsof our ekill and industry, and of course we .are to tonder to them reciprocal, kind foel- ing, and o fair market for what thoy have to nell. Woare not merely a nation of pod- dlers, seeking to soll our own wares for bard cash; we are buyers ns well a3 mellers, axd proposé to exchange onr goods for those of our friends and neighbors. This Convention, therefore, haa for its primary object the removal of nll vbs structions to a full and fairexchonge of com. modities, anking nothing for ourselvea but what we are willing and auxious to concede toall our onstomers, To & want of this upirit on the part of Ameriean manufacturery is due their presont praoctical exclnsion from tho markets of the world. * In cousidoring what wa shall do to open this trade with our Continental nolghbors as woll as with tho people of all other lands, it ia well to understand what aro the sorious obstacles which stand in the way of this ox- tension of the markets in which we expect to buy ns wollas well. In tho firat place, we have a tarilf which closos the door, and has dome 80 for many years, to the importation of many of the f:rodncu of other countries, and which those conntries are forced to take elsewhere to #ell. Bomo of the South Amerioan States produce largs quantities of wool, for which thoy find a market in Europe, beoanso it is vxeluded by our tariff from a salo in this connlry, We mention this circumstance, uot for the purposo of discussing the wool tariff, but as an illusiration of the fact that we hiave by our own laws for many yoars driven tho trade of these Continontal States from Lhis country by foroing them to sell and buy elsowliere on bettor terms than they hava boen able to do in this conntry. What thoy do sell to us jusold for cash, payable in bills on London, which’aro there ex. changed for cotton snd other British goods which might be ull bought here. It wo wunderstaud the purpose of this Convontlon, it will, among other things, urge that Congress shall abolish all laws which prohibit the liberal or freo im. ' portation and sale in this country of all the aorticlos produced in those countries with which wa aro wecklng to establish a largs trade In onr manufactures. Auother ob. stacle to tho oxtension of onr trado with other countrics is the exclusion of American shipplog in the ocarrying trads, ' Our laws prohibit tho use of the Awmcrican flag, of Amurican protaction, aud American registry to any vessel, oven if owned by our, own citizens, unleas such vessel be byilt in this country. The United States export and im- port wercliandise annually to the value of $1,200,000,000. This morchaudise Is mainly carried in foreign.owned vessels. All the merchants of civilized nations, except the United Htates, may buy vesscls, steam or wnil, wherever they can obtain them at tho least cost. Before our War we bailtahips of all kinds for sale to foreign nations, Now wo cannot, ‘or do mnot, build them, because foreign.built ships oostivg lean can bo oporated at lower rates, and, in sn ago'of sctive competition, when 'maall profits are tho rule, tho cheapor vesscl can command tho more business, The navigs. tion laws of .the United Htates ure a velio of 8 bygone ago; they are maintaiued at a loss to the country of several hundred willions of dollars annually, . They have stifled American ycoamards) driven the Rag from tho ocean, and made us dependent upon the merchants af other uations to do our earrying trade, ‘Abolish thioss laws, atd our ierchants will woon cover the seay with American-owped vessols, carrying Amarican-made- goods, and bringing Lome reluradoads of - exchangs cowrgodities purchased of our newly.found customers "and frivnds. A recommendation by this Conveution that Congress shall unshisckle American commerco by allowing our werckants to re-cstablish American sbipping ou wn equality with the shinnioe of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER ‘12, 1878, other nitions, will be so commondod by its ‘wisdom and its patriotiem that it can hardly fail to exercise a controlling influcuca. There are now no less than three grand trauk lines of railway pushing to the Pacifie Ocean. One is the Northern Pasiflc, which, if Congress is not unwiscly inflnenced to in. tarposs & frivolous objection, will in dno timo open np the conntry from Lnke Su- perior to Pugol's Sound. A railrond has al- roady been built from San Francisco southe wanlly the wholo longth of the Btate of Oalifornis, and noir waits, at Fort Yuma, tho right of way to oross into Atizonn aud thence to the enst. From Kansas City n netw road {s now under way and rapldly progrossing, runniug thence westward to Trinidad, in Colorado, and south to Alungnorque, in New Mexioo, and thones west to Fort Yuma, to connoct with the already-comploted rord to Ban Francleco. The Northorn Pacific has just ndvertised for contracts to build 200 milos of that road tho coming year. 'Cho Kansas Oity & Topokas Rtoad is in direct com- munication with the Ohieago, Barlington & Quincy Road, but at Kouens City will be tapped by the roads leading to Bt. Lonls, giving to that city an opportunity so long needed of a direot road to the Pacific. The third road is that kaown as Scorr's 'Texns Pacific, bogun somo years ago but now sus. pended. The Northern]Pacifie, the Kansas City, Atchison, Topeka & Banta Fs Road, and tho road in Oalifornis, are all in process of aclive ocompletion. Private capital in abundaneo is farnished na fash as it can be used, thus showing the confidence that s felt in tho underlaking. Tho Couvention will fail in its duty if it does not indorse this enlightoned invostment of private eapiial to bnild these commeroial highways, and hold them up 88 commendable examplea of tho truo mode of promoting commerce, Of course it {a to bo expected that in a Convention of this charaoter, embracing sub- Jects of snch magmtude, there will bo diffor ences of opinion, In faot, it is possibla that thero may be an effort made to divert tho at- tontion of the Convention from pnblic to pri. vato onds, and for that purpose it may be asked to indorss onc or many schomes for abtaining national subsidies for private jobs, Thera aro half a score of jobs for the sub- sidizing of as many steamsbip lines, aud to subsidize tho Texas Pacific Rlailway; ingon. ious argumonts will bo mada to the affect that ibe guarantes of the payment of interest ot B por cent for forty yonrs on the bonds of n railroad company is not a subsidy ; and other logic of that kind will be urged to show that where two men are engaged in business, using their own capital, it is the duty of the Government o furnish capital to some third man to enablo him to compote with the others. In n Convontion of national busl- ness men, who do not want public ald, all this subsidy busineas will be scouted as ont of place, becauss giving to tho whole Con. vention tho choracter of a mere lobby to bolstor np subsidy schomes generally and specifically, BECRETARY EVARTS ON THE HALIFAX AWARD, Socrotary Evanrta’ dispatoh to Lord Saris. DUnY on the snbjeot of the Halifax nward, transmitted through Minister Wevan, ought to command serious attontion from the Brit. ist! peoplo and respect from tho British Governmont, It is. fo the naturo of nn earnost protest, founded upon facts that re. veal tha rauk injuatice of the docision renched by majority of the Oomnmiasion, and it leaves the inferauce that the United States Govertment will bs warranted in doclining to pay tho nasoased damagos in the ovont that the British Governmeut shall Insist npon the demand ns it now stands, It wonld havo beon undiplomatio, and perhaps unwisoe, for Seoretary Evarrs to maintain at the prosont juncturo that the United Btates Government will not pay the 85,600,000 under any cir- cumstances; but the Sacrefary’s nrgumont shows that the Governmont cannot submit to the extortion without stultifying itself, and the American peoplo ‘will hopa that the protest roally moans an ultimatum if the British Government shall ‘decline to reopon the questioh, or ngree upon a new basis of settloment, The points made by Secretary Evanta may bo summed up as follows s [ (1) The United Btates Govornmont never intended to surrender any of the rights which it iad acquired under tho Treaty of 1818,and any construction of the terms of tho Treaty of Washington to the contrary ling boon an orror on the part of the Halifax Commission, To the extent that such n misconstruction of the Treaty of Washiugton has influenced the Commission, their deliberations aod concln. slons are necessarily vitiated, (2) The Halifex Commission had noauthor. ity to considor ooy abstract politieal or eco- nomical advautages that might grow out of the mbolition of an imaginary line dividing tho inshoro from the deop-sen flshing, neither tho flotitious profit that might aceruo under oertain supposed conditions, nor tho diminn. tion of possible provacation for quarrole bo- tweon the fishormen of the two oconutries, nor nany other sentiment or {ndeterminate considerations should have influenced the decision of the Iahfax Commission. (8) It was the duty of tHe Commission to cstimato. the actual pocuniary valuo of tha in.shoroe fishery to Americans, and this could ooly bo doue fairly upon testimony that was ongily acocssible. It is a matter of fact that tho entire catch in the Gulf of 8t. Lawrence during tho five seasons intervening between the date of the Treaty of Washington and the meeting of (ho Commission wag 167,045 barrels. 'The Canadions contend that thres. fourths of this catoh was within the three. mile line, though tho Americans estimate the proportion to be onc-fourth, According to tho Canadian estimate, this would be 125,061 barrels in fivo years, or about 25,000 barrels a yeor, Canadian testumony shows - that $3.75 was the average valuo of the fish poy barrol, cured and packed roady for transpor. tation, and that $1 a barrol was an extrava. gant estimato of the profit. On the basis of theso facts, the privilege of the in-shore fishing would bo $25,000 a year, or $300,000 for the period of twclve yearw covered by the treaty. But sotiing an arbitrary aud exceasivo rate of $10 a barrol with a profitof 50 per cent, the value of the privilege would be ouly $125,000-a year,or $1,600,000 for the twolve years, It is apparent, therefore, that the award of 5,500,000 for this privi. lego could-only have been reached by the consideration of extrancous conditions with which the Commission had nothing what. ever (o do, and bouce their decision is erxo. nsous and uot binding. . 5 " (#) While the Commission manifestly {ranscendod its funotions in estimating the vilge of the concesuion as provided in Article ‘18 of tha treaty, it failed in jts duty to take intg account tho deduction required tq bie mude by Articles 19 and 21 for priviloges granted by the United Stalus Governwment, Article 21 provides a fres market in the Unit- ed States for the products of tho Canadian Buhating. and tha atatistios of the iwnartation show that, at the rate of duty prevailing when the concession was granted, thoe Unit« cd States wonld have received a revenne of §500,000 a year on (ho Canadian fsh aud fish-oil bronght into this conntry, ‘Taking but one-half of this actasl sum as a basis, the tolal revenmo for tho twelvo years would be 1,800,000, Now the troaty cxpressly atipulates Uhat the rovenuo lcst by this concession shall be de- dneted from the amount awarded on ac- connt of ‘the Canadian concession. Tho valne of the Canndian concession, howover, caunot bo estimated on proof boyond 1,500, 000, and tho 1,800,000 of ravenue lost overbnlances any reasonable claim for dam. agos that can bo set up by the Canndians. The demnnd for 5,500,000 is in despite of these facts, () Mr. EvAnma repents the point that the Treaty of Washington required a unanimous decision, while the decision given had the concurrenea of only h majority. Io. does not insist atrongly npon this point, and inti. mates that he will recede from it altogether it the Dritish Government ‘nrges a different construction, Tho concession on the part of MMr. Evarys appears {o be woak and nuneces. sary. Tho faot tiwt tho Treaty of Wnshiug- ton expresely stipulated for s nnanimous de. cision in tho cato of the fisheries, and in no other, would indicate that the embarrass« ments of tho controversy wers fuily ap- prociated at tho time, and a unanimons de- cision was agreed upon by Loth partics in advaunce as the only means for rouching n conclusion that would Lo satisfactory and binding. Can DMr. Evarrs donbt: that the British Government would have insistad npon the concurrenge of evory member of the Comminsion if there had beon n majority deciaion that was unsntisfactory to the Cana- dians? Aud this is precisely what the United States Government must do now. Wo can only explain Mr. Evans’ slurring over this point on the ground that he be. lioved his other points to be so strong that tho Dritish Government conld not sucecss- fally controvert them. DBut suppose tho Pritish Government shall prove to bo un- ronsonable, I8 it not proper, thon, to insist upon a unanimons decision as provided by the treaty ? And will it not bo inexeusably wenk to forego this advantage, which might, under other circumstancos, have served tho British Government cqually woll ? Thers is an intimatlon in Secrotary Ev. ants’ dispatch that the sum of 35,500,000 might be pald in consideration of perpotual rights in the Caundian wators; nnd thore is an {nvitation to reopen tho qaestion and re- forit to n.now Commission. The latter would b the fairer way, and would probably rosnlt ovon mora to tho ndvantage of the United Btates than the oxcessivo award of #5,500,000 for perpotual righte, Tho sirongest language used by Seorotary Evants in rogard to the final kottloment is in the following rontence : *! L eannot, in all eandor, hold out any expoctntion that the Govern. ment can over recoguize {he valuation of the connter 'valulng Commissions of Articlos 18, 19, ;and 31 Involved in this award os n guide, even much less n standard, for nny fulare treatmant of the fishiory contentions which the oxigencies of the situntion as now left may require.” And this sontence acqni some additional forca by the intimation tha} the United States will forego tha priviloges pf, the Canndian waters sod reatore the duty jon Canadian fish and flsh-oil, unless some other settlomont can be ronched, It is ouly: necessary to add that thix dispatch was writtbn before information had been recolved of'tho approval by the Dritish Govornment '6f the Fortuns.Bay ontrage, which mnlied ,tho Amerioan case stronger than evor, foy thut attack on Amor. {can fishormon was a violation of the Treaty of Washington befdth tho Unlted States Governmont ovinced avy ofticial disposition to contest the n ) DEATH OF THE HON; NORMAN B. JUDD. ‘The suddon doath of tho Ilon, Nomuax B, Jupp carly yeaterday morning will be o ehook to tho older citizons of Chiengo, and the au. nouncomont will carry regret aud sorrow throughont tho entiro’ commnnily, o was #0 conspleuousty identified with the growth of OChicago nud tho:dovelopment of the Northwest that his demise must be mourned a8 o public loss. For /the paat two or throe yoars 3r. Jopp has lived a retired life, and Clicago quickly outgrows tho notivo rocol- lsction of thoso who drop out of its busy whirl for ever 6o brief a period. DBut those who have grown up with this aity, and all those whose memory or reading extonds over the publio affiirs from'1840 to 1870, will not fail to rocognize the important part Mr, Jupp soted in the political and commercial development of tho Northweat. Ilis obitu. ary, in auother colaumn, unfolds the detalls of hiacarcer, He cawe to Chlcago in 1836 and associated bimeolf with Judge Oatox in the practice of law, Only a couple of years after, Lo began to take part fn the public affatrs of tho city and county, and in 1844 Lo entercd upon a wider politicul career in the Btate Beuate, where ko sorved for eightoon yoars contiuuously. During this poriod ho was aotively associated in tho capaclty of nttor- ney and Diroctor with most of the great rail. roud projecls of tho West, and tho growth aud success of these antorprisos owe much ta bis skill as 8 lawyer, his fudgmont and lu- togrity as a man, his abiding faith in tho fatare of Chicago, aud Lis untiring cuorgy. 1o was ono of Assauasx Lincorx's earlisst friends, mapped out the cclobrated dobates botween Lincoux and Doyarss, helped to bring Hlinois to the front in the Antl-Slavery fght, and urged Lincorx's nomination for tho Prosidonoy, which, as Chairmoan of the Tllivois delegation in the Chlcago Con. vontion of 1860, he nfterwunis pro. posed. Mr. Junp's sorvices were recognized by his appointment as Minister to Berlin, whoere Lis good-bearted and courteouy de. meauor endearcd biw to the peopls of that city as well a8 to American travelors, While this appointinent was an honor that he richly worited, it i doublful whother it was any benefit to him, A loug foroign residence took him away from the busy life that had always been his element, aud ko would prob. ably bave boen o happier und more fortunate wan bod he remalned st home. Nevertho. lusa his absence did not cost hiwm the respect aud confilence of Lis home constituency, forhe was twice clected to Congreus after his veturn, and might have been electod again had he not dechined further Congres.. sional service. Ho then bocamo Collector of Customs in Chicago, and ramaiued in thal, ofiice for some yocars. Mr, Juop, like many other of Obicago oldest and- most :deserving 'citizens, 'was a sovere sufforer from ths panlo of 1873; hig losses “crippled bim @Gnanclally, aud many persons think thoy shattered his health, During thuso trisls, bowever, he always ro. mained the samo gogial, even-tempored, nud public-spirited wan be bhad always boen. He bas during the lust throe yoars made horoic efforts to re-ostablish his porsbaal prosperity for tha bonefit of his fawilv. to whowm h was a dovoted husband and father, Wo cau. not reeall the name of any man who has seen £0 mnch public servieo as Mr. Joov and who has at ths same timo made so many friends and g0 fowonomfes. IHis family may find consolation during their great sorrow in the nssurance that he leaves behind him the re. spect and honor which are given only to per- soual purity and a good heart. 3 BURIED POLITICIANS, Tho reanlts of tho recont clestion, o far a8 they concern the snccensfal candidates, have Leon sufilcionlly considered. Wao nre thor- oughly informed ns to the present statns; we know the condition of the next Congross, and in soma measure can foracnst its proba- bilities. Thore Is one phase of it, howover, which has not yet boen snficiently observed. Thero ara greotings for the succesa(ul states- men; thera shonld be something like o de- cont sorvice over the unauccossfal. As a rulo, tho defoated politician is of as little in- terest ng o Inst yoar's bird'a nest. Ho ainka entirely ont of aight, or becomes a pnlo rom. inlsconso, whose ouly connoction'with the activa world of politics is to bo found in the drynsdust volumes of the Congressional Record or the thrilling fables of fig. ures fn tho newspoper almapno, Too often tho rccord of his statosman. alip is consigned to a trunk cover, or helps to serve as an envelope for tho week's washing. This is hardly de- corous or befitling. It is not seemly to drop tho rotiring statesmon who wero snowed un- der fast Tuaesday without some sympathotlc word of parting, or to negleat n fow other statesmen whose election {s only a colossal warning from their constituents that they “nra doomed men, who, in unother election, may go to meet tho defurots of last woek. In Maluo, Eversi Iatz was upsot in the most aceidental mpnner, and when ho least expeeted it, by a Democratic-Greenbackor, thus showing the charming uncortainties of politics, which find still further illustration in tho Third District of Vermont, whero Banzow, & bolter, who lost the Convention and seized the Giconback nomination, se- cured suficient Republican votes to beat both the Ropublican and Demo- cratic voters out of sight, after trying it a sccond time. In Massnchusotts, thero linve been two notsblo changes. In tho Fortly-fifth Congress, Firwo, who wns honestly elected from tha Third Distriot, was swindled out of his sent by the Deraocrats, who gavae It to Dsaw, who was not clooted, ond consequently not entitled to it, This year thio indignunt people of his district determined to give Frerp such a majority that thore shounld bo no doubt nbout the matter, and they did it. Tho people of Col- orado did procisely tho samo thing, only with more emphasis.
