The New York Tribune Is having q
"jaw'-we cannot cali it by any other
name-with Mr.. Delmar, late Chief Of the
Bureau Of Statistics. The Tribune COM
plains that it cannot obtain from the
Treasury Department ago simple and
"primary fact as the amount Of customs
"1evenuc collected on any particular
"arlicle enumerated in the Tariff act,
"whether it be sugars, molasses, t=as,
"cotIecs, winca, hardware, cutlery OF dry
"cocds."
It'may well be doubted whether any
compilation or publication of statistics
would enable the New York Tribune to
publish the truth in regard to tue exist
ing ts1iff. In IL recent criticism on Com
missioner W.lls' report it stated that the
customs revenue from imported sugar Was
sG700o,00o Annually. The Commerce
and Navigation report far the last year, c
document easily accessible, gives the To-
tai importation OF each article, with tht
duty levied upon the same, from which i
is easy to ascertain that the customs rev
crue from imported sugar for the tisca
year ending June 50, 1867, was $25. .S4e,
1476s, instead OF 9G6,740,ooo IS stated il
the New York Tribune. Is other critl

Two years ago lhe Legislature passed
g law requiring railroad to deliver Goa
eienmen,s OF grain to warehouses ialong
The line CT its rosd. This is what is gen
orally known as the Warehouse Law. The
Alton s. S.. Louis Railway, in April,
1868, refused to deliver grain at the Na-
uonal Elevator, situated between its
track aud the river, near Adams street, in
this city, but bstquenuy issued an or
der that upon all grain consigned to that
elevator five dollars per car additional
freight should be charged. The
elevator company applied TO the SD
pcr,or Court Of Chicago tor an injunction
requiring the railroad company to deliver
grain at such warehouse, andepjoining it
from making discriminating charge
The Superior Court refused the iniunc
ton, ard the case was taken to ths
Supreme Court. We print this morning
the very able opinion Of the latter Court
delivered by Judge Lawrence, in which
the dccisioE Of the Superior Court ii
reversed, and the injunction ordered Il
be issued temporarily. to be made per
nauent, unless the facts, IS stated in th'
bill, are disproved. The constitution
allty Of the Warehouse act, and its gen
crai propriety and justice, are irresis:lb'..
argued by Judge Lawrence.

7EE RAILWAY FARE BILL.

TIE S.ate Sepa'e, yesterday, con-
cured in the Htuse amendments to the
lss:lwsy Fare bill, and it now goes to
IL. Geyc1nur for his signature. We have
q strong impression tha>, If the bill is
s:eted aud btcomes law, the Legisla-
ture will be called together in hur ~ TO
repeal it, bsfore the first dsy OF June
next, that being the semi annual dlvi-
tead day Ct the Illinois Central R,il-
-i'4d. Whether repeal of the law will
Lave the effect to save the State from the
consequcnces oi its enactment can only
Ee determined by the courts. Int the event
that the company is released from the
payment Of its seven per cent toll
TO the State, some advantage will accrue
tG the COUNTIES on the line OF the road ,
ss they will undoubtedly get their
transportation cheaper. The company,
teirg 70 longer 1equi1ed to psy hall a
million dollars per ycar into the State
Treasury, can reduce their rates oI
1leleht ~ fare 10 the people On the line
ei The rosd very considerably, and will do
SO if 1lty ere wise-in which event il
will be much more d!ff1:uls to get the
seven Ter cent toll restored than it was
to get it ,mp-setl in the first place. This
stven per c.u1 is 1eally paid by the ship
1trs and travellers on the road. They
will por exhibit any nervous anxiety Il
assume that tax seain, after it is ouc
