There is 8 rumor that open war has broken
out between Mr. Frederick Douglass and Mr..
John II. Langston, the latter Of whom made an
application for the Office Of Solicitor General
before the election returns got COOL The CAUSE
OF the trouble VIC do not know, but the animus
of it may be inferred from the fact that Doug
lass says Langston is q an impudent, shallow
Drained chap, who is always anxious to push
himself forward" and Langston retorts that
Douglass is At q conceited, overestimated fellow,
who looks upon the advancement of any other
colored man as a slight to himself" We are not
in both these estimates but we hope, for the
sake Of Our newly-made citizens in general, that
neither is as black as the other paints him.

About two years ago. when the grain Ware-
housemen we're offended at some comments
which we're msde in The CHICAGO TRIBUNE,
touching their method OF conducting the ele-
vator business, 8 delegation Of them waited
upon US, and one OF them rather staggered us
by asking this question: "Do you think We
could afford to put ourselves in the power OF
our Own employees" Z" How much force there
was in the interrogation appears from certain
developments which we're made public on the
Board Of Trade yesterday. From these develop
ments it appears that in August last, when an
official measurement Was made at the ware
houses, to ascertain the exact amount Of grain in
were provided with false bottoms, placed near
the top Of the bin, and covered with 8 sprink-
ling Of grain, by which deceit it WAS made to ap-
pear that the warehouses contained 100000
bushels ot corn and 101, 900 bushels of wheat
more than was actually in store, and for which
amount receipts were outstanding. We under
stand that it is the determination Ct 1lr. Ar
mour, whq has recently purchased the Mum d
Scott warehouses, to protect the public against
the receipts but the fraud OF the original par
ties still remains. It Was stapendous swindle,
and it Has owing to this and other methods Of
deceit, which we're nolged about by rumor, that
public confidence in the warehouse business was

The Alton Telegraph holds that Governor
Oglesby is ineligible to the Office Of United
States Senator, because the new Constitution Of
the State declares that "neither the Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, Secretary Of the State, Superintendent
of Public instruction, nor Attorney General
shall be eligible to any other Office during the
period for which he shall have been elected"
The answer to this is, that the Constitution Of
the United States defines the qualifications Of
Senators and Representatives in Congress, and
that no State can add to OF subtract from those
qualifications. The. same point vas raised
against the eligibility Of Judge Trt1mbun, in
1855, he having been Judge Of the su-
preme Court Of the State, and not having
served out the term for which he WAS
elected. The State Constitution then in force
declared that no Judge Of the Supreme or Cir
cult Court should be eligible to any other offte
during the period for which he YVES elected nor
for one term thereafter. The question waa
raised in the Senate when A1r. Trumbul pre-
sented his credentials, and it WAS decided forth
with that it was not competent for State to
declare who should or who should not be eligible
toeither House of Congress. He Was, therefore,
admitted to his seat. Governor Oglesby will
not have any difficulty after ae passes the
Illinois Legislature, and we g1esH he will not
meet with much difficulty there

The Cincinnati Gazette makes the prevalence
Of the horse disease in that city the occasion
for suggesting some changes in the funeral
customs Of our country. The disablement Of
the horses in all large cities has rendered it al
most impossible to secure the number OF ca1-
1iages which are regarded as desirable, or as
necessary to the observance Of the, pro-
prieties Of the occasion, and it ID sug-
gested that the demands Of custom in
this regard should be modified. There is
no doubt that the large expense Of funerals,
chiefly occasioned BY common vanity Of having
long string Of carriages, is beyond the means
Of numbers Of those who incur them az con-
cession to what other people will think and say.
tits also argued, with considerable justice, that
this practice Of general attendance at the grave
becomes an intrusion upon the grief Of the real
uourners at the moment OF final parting. It ia
undoubtedly true that it would be better in
many respects il the general attendance Of
friends aud acquaintance we're limited to the
services at the house OR church. while the re-
mains should be placed in their last resting
place by the family and most intimate friends
only.

A correspondent suggests that the difficulties

A correspondent suggests that the difficulties
in the way Of getting out the 9A, 100000 Of
greenbacks, which Mr. Boutwell, claims he has
the right to reissue, might be overcome by de-
posting the whole sum with ]. r Scammon as
private banker. The ereenbacks being simply
past-due paper, Mr.. Scammon might
then declare the Government bankrupt,
shut down on the money, and invite Mr..
Boutwell, to see him in the United States Court.
This method, the writer thinks, is preferable to
that suggested by another banker, Of hiring
Professor Wise's balloon and sailing over the
country, dropping the greenbacEs on the heads
Of the people, because, while the latter method
would be undeniably fair and impartial, it would
not tend to relieve the particular stringency Of
which Mr. Scammon complains.

Dominican pride. says Judge Sullivan who
has recently returned from San Domingo, WAS
greatly incensed by the tone OF the American
press and Of the Senate, in the discussion Of the
annexation question, but can, he intimates, be
eoothed by the purchase of the island on
more liberal terms than those proposed last
year. Still, Baez promises that his people will
not force the matter on this country. Apparent
" as an inducement to the pu1chase, assurance
is given of unusually fine crops this year; but it
is not stated that: if we wanted these, we should
have to pay for them, even if We owned the
island, and that ne can, if We wish, buy them
without buying San Domingo.

President Theirs was 30 distressed by the
passage, by only insignificant maj jority, of the
recent vote Of confidence in the policy suggested
By his message, that he could not sleep
night before last, and now resorts to his usual
threat that he will resign unless he gets q full
vote Of Endorsement. The Deputies of the Left
promise to comply with his wishes; but caucus
of $50 members Of the Right resolved to oppose
any formal proclamation Of the Republic, but
Tero willing to make Theirs President for life if
he would follow conservative policy. Unless

| On 1ost or stolen grain. Rather than do this,
they began by allowing 500 lbs or 1000 lbs excess
to cover shortage, and this soon grew. into the
pleasant abuse Of loading from third to 8 half
more grain on car than freight is paid for.
This involves not only reduction of freight re-
ceipts, but q great wear and risk in the move
ment Of overloaded cars. The cars are ADAPTED
to carry about 2,4oo lbs each, and when the
load is swelled to $4,000 or thereabouts, hot
boxes, broken a1les, fires, delays, and other acci-
dents are multiplied.
1t is mutually desirable to the shippers and
railroad companies that both ahan ascertain the
actual amount Of grain shipped at the moment
Of shipment, that the bill Of 1ading shall state
that amount and that the railroad company shall
be responsible for the delivery Of exactly that
amount, less certain fixed percentage for
shortage. This is the contract made by water
carriers, and it should be the contract made by
the railroads. The Committee estimate that the
average loes to tho railroads is the freight on
fifty bushels Of corn or ninety bushels Of oats
per car, which, at present rates Of freight Of 10
cents per 100 1bs between Chicago and Boston, l8
not far from twenty dollars per car for
that traffic. This ia g. heavy pre-
MUM to dishonesty. It is not
definitely suggested what manner Of enactment
by the State Legislature would afford any re-
lief; but it is intimated that both State and
National legislation might aid the railroads and
shippers in making their contract more definite
and more in accordance with their own and the
public interest. We do not at present perceive
what legislation can put grain scales where there
are none, OF cause railroad men and grain-ship-
pers to put the true weight into their bills OF
lading if they think proper mutually to prefer
false one. But the evil is an evil, and whatever
tends to abolish it will deserve the support Of
the railroads, the grain trade, and warehouses,
the legislators, the judiciary, and the country
generally

to the Assignee OF the Mutual Security Insurance
Company? This $4,000 WAS paid into the
treasury Of the Company, in small sums, by
merchants, mechanics, washerwomen, etc,
in the form OF premiums for
policies Of insurance. N1r. Scammon
was Treasurer Of the Company. We all know
that he is anxious to pay over the money to the
Assignee as soon as he can make that sum out
of his newspaper. We hope that the mer-
chants, mechanics, washerwomen, etc, who hold
the policies of the Mutual Security Insurance
Company, will come to the rescue, and, by the
liberal patronage they extend to n1r. Scammon,
enable him to pay over the $4,000.

/ title, and it WAS somehow believed that these
abstracts would re-establish titles supposed to
have been destroyed. The abstract men, last
spring, adopted the plan Of delaying or refusing
to deliver abstracts, with a view OF creating an
imperative necessity for their purchase. But
this game did not win. It waB soon discovered
that ne could get along without abstracts. The
real estate business Of Chicago during 1872 has
been unprecedentedly large, both as regards the
| number Of transfers and the value Of the prop
erty sold and mortgaged. The necessity Of
paying 5750,0o0, or any other sum, for these
books, is growing less every day.
Every man in possession Of real estate has q
title thereto, which stands good until better is
shown. These abstracts will not sustain bad
title, nor overthrow good one. Four months
ago, report WAS made on this subject by Alr.
Hitchcock and several other Of the best mem-
bers OF ths Board Of Commissioners opposing
the purchase Of the abstract books at any price.
The arguments Of that report have never been
answered. To pay 900 for these indexes,
IN defiance Of q clear and unanswerable exposi-
ton Of thar inutilty, is just that kind Of legis-
latlon which the act Of April, 1872, intended
to prevent, BY making the approval Of the seven
Judges Of this county necessary.
There is nothing so easy to some people as to
spend public money. The authority to issue
bonds is very tempting. This. county is now
taxed double what it was ever taxed in any year
before. TIE have use for all the money that can
be raised, by taxes or by loans, for purposes Of
absolute necessity. We have already added
largely to the county debt. In the next three
years we must increase it to the full constitu-
tiona1 limit. Thus situated, this scheme to
spend s750,oo0 upon the purchase Of these
books is triaing with the public interests, and
looks like job. We have got along without
them for year; let US try and do 60 for another
year.

River and Kanawha Canal, which the Govern

The people Of Boston have gracefully declined
the assistance which the country was ready to cx-
tend to them. They have lost soverely-but
not to an extent which would require them to
accept charity. But there is Z mode in which
the West, and, in fact, the whole country. can
render her timely aid, we doubt not, most vel
come assistance. Let merchants, and all men who
areindebted to Boston dealers and manufacturers,
at once remit the cash, whether the accounts or
notes are due or not. The extra effort which
some may be obliged to make to do this will Re
more than compensated by the reflection that
timely and proper aid has been given to our
stricken sister city when she most needs it. We
happen to know that soms of our citizens have
already acted upon this principle, and it is to be
hoped that all who eau will at once follow this
good example.
