In the National Board Of Trade, yesterday,
Mr. Hazard, OF Buffalo, claimed that it was
asking too much to expect the State Of New
York to give up the revenues Of the Erie Canal
for the sake Of National appropriation to en-
large it, because other States would be more
benefited by the work than New York. COM
mittee made report denouncing, generally, all
the gambling practices in trade, on which the
minority reported substitute denouncing gam
bling and cornering in grain, stocks, gold, DC,
as dishonest. In the discussion it was stated
that extensive gambling is done in cotton,
the daily nominal sales sometimes exceeding the
whole stock OF cotton in the country. The ma
jority report VAS adopted. The Committee on
Relations with Canada reported in favor Of me-
morializing Congress to authorize Commission
to prepare treaty for reciprocal trade With
Canada on liberal basis, the scheme to involve
the enlargement Of the Canadian canals by the
Dominion Government, and their free naviga.

On the report.

There is Grand Jury in session in New
York, and there arc mysterious hints that an
additional number Of persons have been in
dicted and will be arrested for completely in the
Ring frauds which we're disclosed eighteen
months ago. Considering the fact that Tweed
Sweeney, Connolly, Hall, Garvey, and 1ngerson
we're indicted eight months ago, and have never
been tried, it looks ridiculous to be now hunting
up smaller fry. The indictments against
Tweed, Sweeney and Connolly hare been
held over the heads OF those persons,
with what effect will be seen after the
election. Who they will vote for seems to be a
more important question in New York, at this
time, than whether they are guilty or not guilty.
Tweed and his associates seem to know With
whom they have to deal, and hare no concern
as to the result Of the indictments. The mys-
terious Indictment Of other persons looks very
much like scheme Of Jimmy o'Brien and the
legal authorities to terrify others into political
alliance. It may be assumed that Tweed is al
ready virtually acquitted, d,-whateyer trial he
may hare to undergo will be farce.

stance. In fact, o President With
good staff Of brothera-in-law can have
done with dexterity whatever he wishes. So
can Senator. In proof whereof, notice this
fact: Three days ago, the Associated Press re-
ported the arrest, in Philadelphia, Of DR.. q. E.
Muh1enberg, United States Collector Of Inter
nBl Revenue, for offering Reinhardt Reiner,
Election Judge Of the Eighth Ward Of Lancas-
ter, s200 to atuff the ballot-box for Hartranft.
This ornament Of our reformed Civil Service is
the brother-in-law Of Simon Cameron. OF
course, if be manages to keep out Of jail, he
will keep his Office. II he gets into Jail, he
will be pardoned out, and wil then unite with
Yerkes in certifying to the good character Of
some companion rogue.

Besides the official proof Of heavy corzuptions
in Philadelphia, ne hare the fact of the arrest OF
the Mayor and Postmaster Of the City OF scran-
ton for buying votes and b1ibing election officers
to stuff ba1lot-boxes. Ahdayits proving corrnp-
ton, in twenty distinct cases are fled. From
Wilkeabazre, also, We learn that the Mayor Of
that city, the Collector and Assessor Of Inter-
nal Revenue, and the candidate for Congress,
are arrested On like charges. II the
people OF Pennsylvania can tamely sub
nit to such crimes against the ballot, without
eending score or so OF the actors to the Peni-
tentiary, it will only prove that elections are a

are responsible for the Wholesale yillainy e1-
posed BY the above official certificate and the
attendant proofs. This affair has been engi-
neered from headquarters, and the parties respon-
eible for it are Cameron, Hartranft, and tie 9TH
erleaders OF the Grant party i'll Pennsylvania.
It is on an exact moral level with tho concerted
pardon of Yerkes and Marcer from tho peniten-
tiary in consideration that they should sign m
unsworn statement that Hartranft was not the
thief which their sworn evidence had proved him
to be- Both events were preceded by hurried
conferences by tho President himself
with Cameron, Geary, Hartranft, and other
Grant leaders, and by hasty journey Of Gamer
on to Washington, ostensibly, it was said, to de-
mand United States troops in Philadelphia, to
protect the heavy majority Of Grant voters from
being dragooned, overawed, and driven from the
polls by tho Greeley minority!
Conceding the facts shown by the above certi-
fcate to be true, Republican institutions in
Pennsylvania have completely failed. The State
is governed by crime,-not by laws or conatitu-
tions. The people Of that State stand disfran-
chised, robbed Of the power to choose their Own
officers, aud not now for the first time.
The ultimate and all-important issue which
these frauds in Pennsylvania bring before the
so~called Republican party in the Northwest ia
whether the average Of its voters are any more
honest than the Pennsylvania ballot-stufers.
If they are not, they will merely shrug their
shoulders, and say, as many Of them do, "Well,
if We can carry Pennsylvania that way, how are
you going to beat usf
1t is the chronic and unprecedented evil Of
our time that not only are high officials de-
bauched and Indifferent to any phase or degree
Of corruption, but large masses of the people
arc equally destitute Of any such sense OF hon
esty and honor as renders them indignant at
frauds which strike at the very existence Of Re-
publican institutions. These will sympathize
with the public officer who makes money out Of
his Office corruptly, or dispenses his appoint
msnts for gifts, because they unblushingly
admit that they would do the same themselves
were they in power. Perhaps the majority
Of the Republican voters Of the Northwest,
having approved go much, will approve, also,
the frauds which have struck down the right Of
suffrage in Pennsylvania by r. crime rs far
reaching as the assassination OF Lincoln by
Booth. That killed the chosen representative Of
the sovereign people, This assassinates Popu-
lar Sovereignty itself. That was the individual
crime Of one man. This is tile organized crime
of set of men whose audacity as swindlers
eleyates them to the places Of statesmen, and
they boldly ask the so-called Republican party
throughout the country to approve it by SUSTAIN
ing its managers in power. The appeal, how.
ever, is to the whole people. II you approve
the Pennsylvania iniquity, vote for Grant. Il
| you do not, vote against him.

We hear great deal about the pains Of Gv-
ing, but the pleasures Of dying do not seem
sufficient to attract many persons. Professor
Tynda1l has shown, by somewhat elaborate
calculation, that death by lightning ia absolutely
painless. Yet the ancient matron, racked by
rheumatism and professedly aweary of this
world OF woe, still seeks, during thunder
storm, the feather-bed Or the coal-cellar, as Of
yore, Mr. Junius Henri Browne has apparently
taken hint from TyndauH essay, and now at-
tenpts to provo TINT death in every form ia q
mere form, and quite pleasant one.
He paints q poisoned person as really
enviable being, while drowning
man would be, according to Mr. Browne, e1-
tremely foolish to grasp ct either straws or
more substantial helps. The trouble is, in
these cases, that injudicious friends persist in
trying to restore the victims to life. dose
Of arsenic may be soothing (althoush We prefer
not to take any in ours), but the reaulting dose
Of stomach pump cannot be represented, with
any regard for truth, as at all pleasant. So,
although persons taken inseusible from the water
and revived picture their early sensations
as dreams of bliss, they agree that
getting back to life is exceedingly painful. Mr.
Browne says that fall from great height causes
painless death; that 2 soldier struck by bullet
or shell Is *never knows what killed him." and
that even death at the stake is matter Of little
consequence. If this essay should gain general
credence, the list Of suicides ought to show a
marked increase. Who would die in his bed
after long, agonizinS sickness, when he could
take pleasure trip to the next world?

The Grand Jury Of this county have ignored
the indictments in eighty cases Of prosecutions
against saloon-keepers for violating the State
Law, which prohibits keeping tippling-housea
open On Sunday. The Grand Jury heard the
evidence, but their action was based on the fact
that this law was enacted in 1845, and has been q
dead letter ever since, and that, under these cir
cumstances, they thought there should have
been ample public notice given to all persons en-
gagged in the sale Of liquors that the Ian WAS to
be enforced.

Seven OF our city Aldermen have been indict
ed during the past year, and several Of them
convicted for corruption, notwithstanding they
had all received the regular nominations OF
party caucuses. This recent experience ought
to satisfy tile voters Of both parties that the
mere nomination of q party convention is not
satisfactory proof that candidate ought to so
into the Common Council rather than into the
Penitentiary. Nor is the fact that ward-bum-
mer is In favor Of suppressing the Rebellion and
abolishing slavery to the end Of the world any
proof that he wlll not steal the city's money If
he gets chance.
The interests Of our city concerning National
questions, and as affected by National Govern
ment, must be left to the guardianship Of other
men than our Common Council. Our members
Of Congress and Senators are officially entrusted
with the business of saving the Union and abol-
iahing slavery for us, and no incompetency on
their part, it any exists, can be remedied by the
zeal OF our city Aldermen in questions Of Ma
tional statesmanship. Why, then, will the peo-
pie of Chicago allow these irrelevant National
issues to interfere with the selection
Of City Council who have
the true interests Of the city at
hearth They have done 80 heretofore. Partisan
voters have gone to the polls thinking Of the
negro question, and voted, on National
grounds, for ecallawags Of their own party,
when, had they been thinking of the interests Of
Chicago Taxpayers, they would have voted for
better men. Let there be no hesitation in this
campaign in voting for capable and honest men,
for city officers, whatever may be their party.
And let all acallawags be scratched with just as
little hesitation. The law now requires that the
names Of the candidates shall be printed
prescribed space between the lines sufi-
cient to allow the printed names to be scratch
ed and other names to be written between
| them. The old style Of printing the names of
candidates in intertwisted and meandering
curves, SO that erasure and nterlineation vas in
convenient, if not impossible, is now forbidden
| and abolished The intent Of tho law is to give
| every voter the freest possible opportunity to
erase the names Of men who are personally
Objectionable and substitute others. We
| hope that in our city election, voters will avail
| themselves to the fullest extent Of this priyi-
! lege. Let them vote for no man whom they

heat than dollars worth OF wood or COAL it should

motives on the railroads could not burn it too.
If one-half the entire crop were burned, the re-
mainder would, in all probability, sell for more
than the whole will bring now. Investigations
in England extending over period Of tTo or
three hundred years, have shown, approximate
", that deficit of one-tenth in the crop Of
