THE (CONTINUED FROM EIGHTH PAGE.) PUBLIC DOCKS. Une bosiness of other departments, Hence it is very difficult tor the public to exercise any supervision sul- ficiently intelligent to act as a check to corrupt or im- provident management, ‘The best safeguards in auch ® case are:— 1. Unity of authority, 2 Concentration of responsibility. Any one who remembers the gre abuses in the Manage! t of the wharf property, when it was divided among different departments, will hesitate be- fore going back to that method of administration, ‘These questions involving great pecuniary interests and peecing obelods opportunities tor corrupt con- duct, should be submitted to officials who cau be held best answerable for their acts; they should not left to the subordinate officer of a bureau, who is not responsiole, or to a nead of a department engage: in other business, and necessarily dependent for his kuowledge upon others, Respectfully, M EUGENE T. LYNCH. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL —_--—_—_- Review of the. vents of the Week---A Farther Decline in Prices. THE GOLD AND MONEY MARKETS. The Course of Investment Securiti‘s—Money f Abundant and Easy, MINING INTELLIGENCE WAL Srreet, Suxpay, March 18, 1877. During tho past week quotations have been slowly but surely slipping downward, until the lowest points ‘were reached with the close of business on Saturday. A species of financial marasmus seems to have seized upon the market, which is gradually eating tho hfe out of it Were it possiblo to diagnose any active con- fitions.of disease a remedy might be applied, but ex- ¢iting causes are absent or cannot be detected, while, on the contrary, the symptoms as developed by the state of general trade are all favorable to improve- ment, Nevertheless a condition of depression pre- vailed during the entire week, and was owing, atleast in part, to tho continued weakness of tho coal stocks, which sagged off under fear of lower prices likely to be paid at the competitive coal sales and from tbe constant dripping of long stock, which is gradually wearing away market values, To this are to bo added the ever present doubt as to the faith of the trunk lines in adhering to their tariff rates, and the more important circumstance ofascare among holders of investment stock. This latter is the most sorious of all, and is to be deprecated, not only because it is in a great measure unwarranted, but because like a “little leaven’? 11 has leavened the whoie mass of marketable securities with the fer- mentation of suspicion and distrust. The effect of this alarm was most noticeable in Burlington and Quincy, Chicago and Alton and Rock Island, the decline in these Stocks ranging from nine to three points at one time, with only a shade of recovery at the end, Matters were aggravated also by news trom London, which re- ported great uneasiness among foreign holders of all classes of American railroad shares, and the story was quickly taken up here and improved upon with the westand dexterity which seem to attach to bears as abirthright, Although the despondency beld chiefly to the railroads there was enough ol it and to spare to invoculate Western Union Telegraph as being the pnly stock upon the miscellaneous list sufficientiy Alive to take the infection, A drop of 244 per cent gneved as a consequence and thus offered a better div- ldend to bears who bad been selling it short than to bulls who bad been assiduously transicrring shares into their own names for the purpose of drawing their division of earnings, So the 1}; per cent dividend, which had kept the street in a ferment, was produc- tive of only small beer, after all, and was not even potent enough to‘keep the price up nor a fair ‘head’ upon it, in contrast with the decline in the old tel- egraph company the strect was treated to a smart ad- vance inthe new. Probably with un eye to help float the new stock to ve issued by the Atlantic and Pacific Company, the price was gerrymandered from 20}; to 25, under limited transactions, trom which it feil back to 2414 at the close. The movement was ¢o artificial, , and was so universally attributed to San Francisco tactics, that littie interest was manifested in it, With the exception of the above stock the whole list closed at the worst prices of the weok, and with little promise for the one to come.

The total oxports of specie were $3,218,503, against $10,766,860 tn 1876 and $15,047,063 in 187: GOVERNMENT HONDS, Government bonds were moderately active on slight fluctuations, sympatbising closely with the course of gold, The only prominent feature of the market was the continued large sales of the new 434 per cents and the turther calis issued by the Treasury.

I also observe actual facts ag to the effect of the present sysiom on our breeding, and on the quality of our Faces, have been overlooked. Upon o closer examination it will be seen I do not propose to exhibit foreign horses running hore; ail I ask is that a portion of the tand subseribed by some thirty or forty good sportsmen, which used to form the fulcrum of the vost breeding und racing, should bo kept in the country.

She las justiy the credit of ha here than any other country, but 6 mber that netther o! us won the last Derby; and, considering how rapidly the Austrian and German studs have grown in numbers and quality, the:e 18 no reason why they should not coutinue to send over as good horses as any others.

The Work of the Assceiation for Codifying the Law of Nations, PROGRESS OF THE UNDERTAKING. Seti The Approaching Meeting in the City of Antwerp: ———+- The indorsement which President Hayes in dis in- augural gave to the question of international arbitra- tion makes it a matter of general public interest. It will Vo remeinbered thas the President said:— Tho policy inaugurated by my honored predeceasor, President Grant, of submitting to arbiter: grave questions in dispute between ourselves and foreign Powers points to a new and incomparably the best in- atrumentality for the preservation of peace, and will, as 1 believe, become a beneficial example of tno course to be pursued in timilar emergencies by other nations. If, unhappily, questions of difference should at any time during the period of my administration arise between the United States and ‘any foreigu gov- ernment it will certainly be my disposition und my hope to aid in their settlement in the same peaceiul and honorable way, thus securing to our country the Kreat blessings of peace und mutual good oillices with all tho nations of the world. ‘This is the most emphatic declaration ever made by the Chiof Magistrate of this country in favor uf the principle of arbitration im the settlement of interna- tonal controversics, For the purpuse of ascertaining the condition and prospects of international law reforms and arbitration the writer called upon Mr. A. P. Sprague, Secretary of tho International Code Com. mittee, and, trom an extended conversation with that gentleman, the following interesting facts were ascer- tained :— ‘THW INTERNATIONAL CODE COMMITTER, For the purpose of facilitating intercourse with tho different nations in the world, rendering thoir rela- tions more friendly, removing causes of difference and providing peacclul moans of settling international dis- putes, a meeting Was held im the city of New York on tho 15th of May, 1873, to arrange fora conference, to be held in Europe, at which the leading publicists and Jurists of difleront nations should be present, The call for the conference was signed by our most distin. guished citizens, including, among others, ex-President Woolsey, ot Yale Colloge; ex-Prosident Hopkins, of Will- janis College ; Cliarles Suinner, William Beach Lawr. David Puuloy Field, Revordy Johnson, Jobn G, W: ucr, Wiliam Cullen Bryant and Elihu Burritt. ‘The call was responded to by the publicisis and jurists of Europe, und in October, 1878, the conteronce assembled ut Brussels unger the most’ favorable auspices, Tho reault of the Geneva arvitration bad been so wfluen- Ual in uwaxening public attention on both sides of the Atlantic to the mportance and Value of arbitration in tho settlement of international controversics that a great impetus was given to the movement in that direction, ‘Yho Brussels Conference was attended by ropreson- tatives of the principal nations of Europe und of the United States, and resulted in the formation of wo great international ' organizations, called tively “The Association for the Refurm and Codification of the Law of Nations’ and she Institute of Internationa! Law.’? Among the members of these two uasociations may be mentioned Lord Penzance, Lord Coicridge, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas ot England; Barons Pollock and Amphiett, of the English Court of Exchequer; Sir travers Taviss; Montuguo Bervaru, Henry Richard, Pro- fessor Sheldon Amos, These two societies have local organizations 10 ulmost every civilized country in the world, Aside irom the members in Great Britain ule ready mentioned, in Frunce these societies bave as supporters M, Laboulaye, M.

In the following year the general society met again at Ge. neva, where it was received by the government of the canton and every sort of courtesy extended toi, The sessions were boid in the hail renderéd historical by the tact that the Geneva Iri- bunal had held its sittings there. The debates were of a very interesting character, and the views put forth by the representatives of the different nations at- tructcd the atiention of the entire press and of the principal governments of Europe and America, ‘The third annual conference of this new society was held at The Hague, in September, 1875, and wus the most important convocation of the irieuds of inter. national law, reform and arbitration. There wero thir- teen delegutes from the Interaational Code Com- mittee of America, and a representation pro- portionately jarge from the other national or. ganizations. receptions and ntertain- Ments given tothe members were of the most cordial aud at character, Tue Queen of the Netherlands gave ception to tho members at the Royal Palace, ‘Tho Minister of Justice also gavo tho members a recep- tion, oo which occasion the Queen honorod the assem. bly with Ler presence, while the Crown Prince and tha niet of the Corps Diplomatique joined in the tos- tivities. A BRILLIANT TASK BEVORE THE SOCIETY, At this conference the real practwal work of the association begun to be made mavifest—committecs ‘were appointed on international criminal law, on ex- tradition, collisions at sca, reduction of armaments, bills of exchange, forciga judgments, patent laws, maritime imsurance, maritime tribunals, international coinage aud mlut regulations, the limits to arbitration in the settlement of interoational disputes and the subject of maritime capture, The different committees appointed cousixted of men well known in their respective coantries tor their abilities and learning, aod for their broad views of ‘ntervational policy and relations They ure) now at work upon the subjects assigned them, and will report at the sucees- sive coniercnces of the agsociation. Te will thus be ‘ween that this organization contemplates a settlement of the principles ot international law in « clear manner and upon a firm basis. Heretolore this subject has been of & vague and unsettled character, Euch nation bas put its owa interpretation upom the socalled common law of nations, and there has been no authority to which they could refer for a proper construction, At present wil the settled law of nations whieh we have is that which consists in special treaties between two or more nations, iu the decisions of oational tribunals and in the usages of nations in particular cases, The great bulk of international law remuins yet in a state of aucertainty, only relieved by tho inolated opinions Of a tow writers professing to express the ju- ternational seatiment upon the subject.
