of this state. 1t Is a fact well known
that all the money corruptly expend-
ed, either by individuals or. corpora
lions, to influence elections or official
actions of any kind, is eretaken with
frightful usury, not from the guilty
recipient, but from this Innocent pub
lie, unwisely placed In the position Of
his endorser. The political Shylock,
worse than he OF Venice, seeks the life
of the State by demanding, In addi-
ton to thrice the number Of his ducats,
the pound OF flesh from nearest the
heart of the surety. The plainest die
tates of common honesty, the impera-
tire demands of public .decency, to say
nothing of patriotism, require that
these gigantic wrongs shall be reme-
died. The attention of grand juriss
and public prosecutors should be point
edlY directed to this duty"

"Frost and snow, and bleak wind

naces and warm their mortar With
hot water, and go on rearing their
walls and workmen OF all kinds
huddle around little. bonfires at
noon, and hastily eat their cold
lunch, and then patiently go to

courage hundreds of thousands OF
loads of debris have already been
cleared away In the eight weeks
just gone, and host of buildings,
big and little, have been reared,
completed and occupied"

FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. %. The recently
published Red Book of Austria, contains the
text of Prince Bsmarck's dispatch Of A prit
26, 1872, in relation to the action OF the Aus
trla- Hungarian government upon the propo-
sition of France for the modification Of the
Franco Austrian treaty Of navigation Of Dec.
II, 1866, and Of tariff "A" OF the treaty of
COMMERCE of the same dav. The German
Chancellor expresses his warm interest in the
communication wherein Austria announced
that She had tor general reasons rather than
from considerations affecting her own inter
csts, declined to acced- to the French propo-
slton. He regards this action of the Autro-
Hungarian government as of great value TO
Germany and other Europern States, for the
reason that the treaties which France in this
case proposes TO modify and continue in force
until lo1G. longer period than the similar
treaties of France with any other country
have run. So long as these treaties with Aus
tria are in force, the rights therein guaranteed
to that power will he enjoyed by all the coun-
tries which are entitled To be treated by
France on the same footing as the most ia
vored nation These treaties were part of a
liberal commercial system which France had
the credit of the initiative. If the present
retrogadc movement of that country result in
restoring the distractions to freedom Of COM
mercial intercourse which had been swept
away. new industrial interests base on these
very distractions would soon appear, and
these would lend their power to prevent re-
turn to the liberal commercial policy. 1t is
therefore says the Chancellor, for the COM
mon interest Of all the European States. 1t
is to be looked upon as a fortunate cirt'uni-
stance for the commercial Development OF
Europe that the government OF the State to
which the present situation has accorded so
decisive an influence on the politico CONNER

New York, Oct. %. The hores epidemic
continues its rayages throughout the city, and
lev stables can be found in which the disease
has not made its appearance. The rainy
weather is generally regarded as very unfa-
vorable TO animals affected. The three lines
of cars, the Broadway, Broome street and
Seventh avenue, all belonging to the Seventh
avenue company, have been compelled to
withdraw titty-siX cars to-day. There is not
a car running on the Broome street line. The
officers OF the Sixth auenue railroad tele-
graphed to lion, n. j., for dummy engine,
but failed TO get it, The third avenue rail
road viii probably be compelled to use steam
il the epidemic continues. The disease has
compelled the withdrawal of fifteen cars from
avenue B line. Two-thirds of the animals on
the line are affected. The report on deaths
is untrue. Most of the animals on the Sec
ond avenue line are somewhat affected, but
no cars have been Withdrawn. Six cars to-
day were taken from the Eighth avenue line,
and eight from the Ninth avenue line. Up
wards of 800 ears altogether are Withdrawn
from the different lines. Very few horses in
Brooklyn are escaping the contagion. Gro
