In the course of the afternuon that came,—or whnt was supvosl to bo the mortel remaina thercol. Tears thers were, volees choked with emotion, and—more livations. The corpse, neatly shaven, in a plain but appropriate casket, and **Iald on the cold, cold bier," was mysteri- ously expored fo view by removing the coffin- late. The mourners mathered sround, expect- ng to see tue dead forin of him whom they had known in life. When the last screw wis re- mosed and the Jid taken oft the fond fllusion was diepelled. !

The upshot of it all was that the other O'Shea, the dropsl- cal Michnel, was found in one of the upper wards, nlive and with his clothes on, and very much astonished at the news he recolved; and the subscequent chafings to which he waa ex- posed. The queerest thing obout it nll was that noue of the Hoapital folks knew who the dead man was, {f hy wasn't O'Bhes, and the iatter positively rafused to be considered deaq, or any- thing Ildc it. It might be a good scheme for the Hospital authoritics heresiter to label patients or brand them, so that when found dead they can be properly {dentificd, POLITICAL, THA GLEANINGS OF THE DAY, The palitical market yesterday ruled steady and unchanged, Caudldatea took a rest, as did their friends. There wasn't cven any quiet work attempted, Membera-clect of the Legls- lature who have been guests fu the city for aev- cral day past went home to welcome the New Year, The head lights of the party were prace tieally extingnisiied. They didn’t proovse to eogage in any undertaking that would conflict with thelr obscryuuce of the dag. It came but once a year, and muat be properly entertained.

Tho hotels sporopriated By politiclaos of all degrecs were marked for the nbsence of that commodity. The sources of news were flat, stale, and unprofitable as the Sweet Singer of Michigan. The haogers-on, aa the class who watch tho labors of princioals from a distance are called, were to be seen at Intervals In search of sometuing they opparently could not find. Some of these let fall rumors s to the situa- tlon whicn need confirmation. Ong of these was to the effect that LIZOT.-G0V. BHUMAN would prove to be the coming man. The news- gatherer inquired what condition of affairs would bring obout this uoexpected event, ‘The caucus wonld have to pass on Uglesby, Lo; and Farwell befors the name of either coull presented to the Joint sesston. 1t nejther of the promincot candidates found sufficient favor to sccure a majority, a compro- mise candidate would of nccessity be agreed tled toalny, Day his been associating consid. erably with C.

NATIONAL RAILROAD BUREAU. Ta the Editor of The Tribune, - BPRINOFIELD, Ded. 31.—It (s admitted that the transportation gitestion is assuming & se- rious complexfon; that the difficultics under which the ruilroads are struggiing compel them to a course of action which precindes the idea of falrness aud the ‘observance for any loas period of pool arrangements or resolutions of conventions; that competition §s fierce, and agreoments to control are almost uscless: that the railronds are In a dllemma, If they chargo nigh freight rates, blisiness will leave them. It they charge low rates, they cannot meet Intereat or pay dividends. Theas admissions aro all true, as the recent expericnce of rallroads proves, But it {s also snid that the question of trans- portation s beyond the provioce of a Natlonal Bureau, and the reason scems to be becauss no Leutslature can regilate the conditions of sup- ply aud demand {n the cominerctal relations of the country. Thess aascrtions are by no means evident, 1t the evils camrlnlncd of do really cxist; it tha system to which they belong is 80 vast and comptehensive s to be beyond thoe control of State laws; If Congress, under the Constltution, bas the power to regulate commerce among the scveral States, then it follows, of course, that it Is within the provinco of a Natlonal Bureau to take coenizance of these evils, and it pussible to apuly a rcmcd{. The sssertion that * no Leglslature can regqu- late tbe conditions of surg'ply and demand” fs a most laring mistake. This Is the very object which Leglslatures nre continually rcgulating. Many Lcnrs sgo_thero was o demand tor the products of the West to aupply the wants ol iho crowded population of the East, sud the Leglislature of New York authorized the con- structlon of the Erle Canal, and thereby regu- lated the conditions of supply and demand, Tho Iliinots & Michigau Canal was_coostructed under authonty ot State law for the same pur- WAS TT MURDERT ‘The West Tweltth street joliceare fnvestignt- Ing what anpears to have been a deliberate mur- der, but thus far have acarcely a single clew orn single particle of Informotion regunting It.

If ndulterated with that article their value Is diminished still more. Let us now cousller the hard sugars. For- merly they were refined with blood and bonesdust, without chemicals. Buch were periectly whole- some. The tender infant and the greatest in- valid could usethem with }u:r(ect Impunity. About thirty years ago an English chemlst made tho discovery that sugar might be refined with the acetate of lead much casler and with far less expense than by the old process. Tha lead can be neutralized to such an cxtent that it can- not be detected by Inulim. Therefore some eay that sugar refined with that agent is barm- less, Whether it can be removed so 98 not to Injure the consumers s more than tho writer can say. Of one thing he facertain: it hne not generally been done, It offect s not tho same as the coflec-sugars, causing irritation ond n {n the stomach, "It causcs irritatiun of the wels, producing bleeding piles. ‘The refnors, one after another, adopted the use of lead. ‘When s part of them had done so, the rost were compelled to follow auit or quit the busincss. It they contined the old process they coutd not compete with those working under the new, without being driven into bunkru[ncy. Notivithstanding all we have sald sgainet the hard sugmrs, wo have a favorable word to sny concerning them in contrast with the soft. Since the commencement of the discussion of adulteration the reliners have probably re- nounced elucose, They have also probably made a greater effort Lo nentraliza the lead,. so that in these respects the hard sugars are purer than they have been for a long thne. 1 do not believe there has been as much improvement in the soft sugars. ‘Thercfore I conafder the hard sugars much safer than tho others. II'such s the case, it would be very desirablo that tho re- finers should glve up the practice of making their so-called yranulated out of Coffeo “A,* and. give to the publie a genuine granulated hard augar, gomo will probably ask the question whether it 18 possible to obtaln [;u s New Orleans sugars, In reply I would say that a portion of this class are composed of a mixture of light brown coffee and plantation sugars. Buch are butlittle, if any, better than tho coffea that comes from the refinery. Furthermore, tho planters have not been slow In learning the ways of the re- finers {o linproviog the color of thelr products. Whero this 1s the case, their sugars will atso bo tainted with chemicals, They are probably freo from tho'siu of adultering with glucose. Tlhero are, Lowever, somne pure plantatlon sugars. From what I have Lecu able tolearn, I think that Mr, Walker’s Loufslanu sugar is as pure as any that can ba found to Chicago. This subject will be further considered pext week, L. RossiTen.
