It is almost o woudor that, with the grest number of ves- ®ols uavigating so confined a space during tho prevalence of these fogs, that there are not more disasters to chronicle, The ex- tended account of tho disaster of yeaterday nppears to be replete with almoat ov- ery incidont attending the catastro- phe.

Notablo oxcaptions to this rule aro found in thoso portions of the South where resistance to tho rovenue officers of the Government 18 regarded as a defense of tho prineciple of Btate-rights, and where the agonts charged with the collection of Federal taxos are troatod as hostile invaders upon domestic pesce and security. The same public senliment that encourages ballot-box stufling approves and jastifios the murdor of rovenuo ofticers engaged in the discharge of their dultics, shields the murderers, and, when an officer meoting with armed resistanco kills Lis assailant, puts in operation the power of tho State Courts to punish tho officer. A difficult it not hopeless feature of the case is this condition of public senti. ment at the Bouth, which is rendered yet more formidable by the support it bas received ot the bhands of a Demo:ratic Congress in prohibiting the em. ployment of the Fedoral police force, the army, to aid in the onforcement of tho Iaw and the collection of the revenue.

Groat Dritaly produces ot gold cost and solls for gold, lur trade has been iu an exchaugo nf commoditiesaud not an exchange of coin. Ier customors all over the world, whose property and products have been cowputed by silver valuos, find that gold has so far advanced in valuo that it takes from 20 to 80 per cont mora of their labor or products to purchase English goods produced at gold cost than before silver was dopreciated by demonetizu- tion. They thercfore Luy less, because their means to buy is reduced in the same propor- tion thut gold hus advanced in value. Bilver as bullion hae wmaintained its ordinary valua in all othier commodities, Bilver bullion, and 1and, and wheat, and the raw materials of wanufacture bave maintained their ordinary relative valugy, but gold becoming scarcer, and the demand for it increasing, the whole stock being extonded ovor a wider ares, tho value of it has incressed. The adoption of gold in place of silver by Gerinany has had the effect of advancing the value of the gold, but Eoglaud is unexpectedly tho groatest sufferer by the change. 8ho has cut off her trado with other nations, has doprived hes- sclf of the markots for the sale of her goods, and as the valuo of gold sdvances, hor wanu- factures are produced on a constantly falling markol. Between the timo they purchase their material und of putting their manufso- turcs on tho warket, gold bas so far ad- vanced that the valuo of -the finishod prod- ucts bas fallen below that of the cost of production. Out of such & condi- tion of thinge thero can coms but ona r¢- sult, and that is bankruptcy to the man- ufacturer, and the suspension of labor en. gaged in production.

Thers aro times when tho Chicago Board of Trade falls lamentably short of its du. tios and responsibilities. It should be the Commerolal Legistature of the groat motrop- olis of tho Northwest, and in that capacity ought to bo alert ta every chango that mon- acow the trado of this city, aud prompt and vigorous In tho effort to combat autagonistio influences. On more than one occasion, lLiowaover, has ‘I'ur Trinowe found it neces- sary firat to exposo abuses that should havae been discovored by the Doard, and then to prod that Association into a resistance, that should have beon mado voluntarily. When auy crisis ucoura in tha trade of the North. weat, the Ohicago Board &f Tradu could af. furd to abandon the art of * scalping ™ for an oighth of & cont for the timo being snd dovoto its euorgles to & rectification of the situation, Instead of doiugso, the mafority of {ts membors weem to Lo ontircly en. grossed ju their individual *‘deals,” tho ag. gregato of which are trivial and insignificant as compared with tho groat commercial fn. teresta of tho city ut large, » Tho practico of discriminating against this cluy which Is belug carried on by the pool of O:walia railroady, aided 1o o cousiderable ox. tont by tho Bouthwestorn pool, is o matter whioh should aronse the Board of Trade to omphatic protest uud determinod reaistance ; and yet the Board goes on in tho usnal hum. drum way as if it had no responsibility for the cominercial inlorests of this grust city, ‘L'his poot of the Omsbha railroads has bLeen in oxistenco for saveral yearv. For sloug tirue it was regarded as o legitimate combl. uation for theestablishment sud maintenance of falr rates, and so long there was perhaps no reason for opposition to it. But itis uotorious that for sowoe time past the three roads in this pool have been building, buy- iug, aud lesaing branches and connections, fu violation of the terms of the pool, in order lo’ cnable themselves to cut under in rates, though maintalning the satne rates to Chicago.

Bnt tho producers and the shippers have the Inw to sapport them fn auy rouistance they may make {0 this prac- tica of unjnat discrimination. 1t is the duty of the Bourd of ‘'race, as an association, to see that this Inw is enforced, and, if neces- 88y, firnish the éases and nrge the prosacn. tion thereof. 1t fs illegnl under tho statute of flitnois, and we believe under the com. mon law, for cither tha Chiengo, Rock Tslaud & Pacifie, or tho Chicago & Northwost. orn, or the Chicago, Burlington & Quinay, to maintain a certnin rate from Council Bluflsto Chioago, and yet haul tho same amount of freight tho smmno distanco at a lower rate. Tt is the daty of the Bonrd of Trade to hunt up cnses whero such extortion and unjust discrimination have beon practioed,—nnd thoy cannot bo hard to find,—and then pro- cced to enforco the penaltics provided for by the Btate Iaw, and institute proeacdinga for the rooovery of dawmnges fucurred from suoh oxtortion nud unjust discrimination, A serics of such aunits pushed vigorowly would soou resuit fn the breaking of tho Chicago and Oinaba pool, and in the oxten. afon of the snmes advantagos to this clty that are now given to compeling points, Con- victions under our Btate Iaw enbject tho offonding corporstion to hoavy flues and o' lability to throo times the amount of dnmages nctaally sus. tained by tho aggrioved party.

Tho bad offects of this railroad discrimina- tion agniust Chicago extend boyond the grain trade, Farmers ond country shippers buy where thoy scll, ag n rule, and if tho farm products of the Northwest soek % market outside of Chicago, then the morchants of the Northwest will fall luto the habit of buying their stocks elsowhere. They will naturally seek tho' snme advautages in freights as aro socured by the farmers and shippers of grain and produce, and thoy will enjoy groater facilitics of exchauge by following the move- ment of the crops. Belf-intorest, as well ns a sense of justico, should suggest to tho Board of Trado to secure thé co-operation of the merchants of this city and immediately procoed with an attack upon the pool rail roads at every assailablo point. KING-WORSHIP, Tho,pomp aud pagoantry which havo cbar- actorized tho reception of the Marqnis of Lonsk and the Princess Lovisz in Oanada are fu striking conlrast to the protestations of democracy which bave boen ro profusely made in that quarter of her Majosty's do- minfons. Apporently fofected with the apirit of freo iustitutions and popular gov. ernment on this side of the line, Cannda has alnost erectod herself into an indepondent province, and yot thd very momont a scion of Royalty sota#foot on her shoros ber peopla go wild wilb oxcitement, and moui- fust u spirit of Royalty-worship that falls Iit- tle short of the idolatry with which tho sav- ngo rogards bis fetish, This worabip hasnot only manifestod itself in salvos of artillory, flourish'of musle, arches and dacorations, pa- rades of guilds and societics, obelsanco of dignitaries, dining, and wining, and tosdying blind, hendlong rush of tho erazy populace, but in the addressos whioh have already boon made. On the ono biand, tho Canadian officiala addrees thomsolves to the Priucess Louzse in terms of superfluous eulogy, and almost ignore the presence of the, Marquis, who hias beon appointed to rale over them; on tho other, the Marquis in roply exalta the virtnes of his Royal wifo and her Royal Lirother, whose decorntions have dazzled the multitdde, and has nothing more important to communioato than that Lis Royal Migh- ness tho Duke of KeNT passed many of his yoars in Ialifax, that two of his grandchil. dron ara thero to-day, and the hope that, when the Duke of Epminuaa returna again to Canada, ko will honor the occasion by bring- ing the Duchess of Epixsore with him. 1t {s all Royalty from Alpha to Omegs, and nlready tho Governor-Gonernl of Canada has sunk out of sight in this grand Royal traps- forination scone. It viow of this remarksble popular craze, it woald seem that the protestation of de- mocracy doos not go much below tho sur. 1ace, aud that whon the opportunity presouts itsclf the Canndiangaro just' as blind wor. shipors of Royalty s tho English. .Iut are the Oanadians altogether to blamo for this idolatrous rovercnce, for the diviuity that hedges in the Kiog, and this humble, if not servilo, adoration of tho person who has hiap- poned to be born undor the Royal purple, and about whoss brows thore is a shimmer from th linlo of thocrown? Iait notanin. fatuation that has claracterized the raco from the earliest ages? Even tho Jews wero uot sotisfled nutil Bamurs had chosen and anoluted o King for them. Bamver, who lind boen a just and upright Judge, warned them of the consequoncos, and the Lord, speakivg through Saxwvezy, warned them that the King would impross -their sons into Lis aenaics, snd would *¢get thom to oar his ground, and to reap his harvest, aud to mako his iustrumouts of war and instruments of Lis chariots"; that he would take **your daughters to be con. fectionanes, and to be cooky, and to bo bakers”; and that he would take the tenth of thoir seed aud shicep, and the bust of their flelds, viueyards, and oliveyards and givo then to his offcors and sorvants ; but it made uo fwpresaion upon the Isrnelites, who foplied: **Nay; but we will bave u Kiug." They had their Kingy, and a nice tims they Lud with tbew. Tha Jewe wore nol singu. lar in their King-worsbip ; indecd, being con- stantly at war with tho surroundivg uations, it was natural that thoy shouid want a war. like, powerful King to lcud them.

Tho Italian assasain who sought to kill Huxnenr tho other day st Naples is an instance.
