The first and only warehouse firm in Chicago
which complied with the Railroad and Warehouse
law BY taking out license is now to be sub
jected to prosecution. It is notable, however,
that this prosecution" rests on the very ground
which formed the principal objection of the
other warehousemen. to the law II it had not
bean. for that portion Of the law fixing I. max
imun Of charges, it is probable that all Of tho
warehousemen would have taken out licenses.
The firm Of B. n. d o. s. Hough, having taken
out their license and fled their bond to comply
with the terms Of the law, subsequently gave
notice that they would mako the same
charges as the other warehousemen Of Chicago,
and these are in excess Of tho rate established
by the statute. 4 prosecution against the firm
On this ground would virtually be the same thing
as the suits brought against the other firms
Bho refused to take out = license under the law.

~ The niliha-men Of New Orleans dispersed
Wednesday afternoon, in obedience to the orders
Of Gen. Emory, and thu peace OF the city has
not since been broken. The conflicts Of that
day occurred solely between the McEnery mill
tia and the Metropolitan Police, and have not
been renewed, nor has any collision taken
place between the United States troops and
the citizens. The police have taken possession
Of the Odd-Fe1lows Hall, where the McEnery
Legislature meet, and arrested the Speaker
and several members Of the Legislature who
we're there In answer to formal inquiry from
Gov. McEnery, Gen. Emory states that the
seizure and arrests were made without Ills
knowledge or authority, and that he has no
opinion to express about them; but that he is
under instructions from Washington to defend
tho Kellogg Government from any violent inter-
ference # this was an act Of that Government.
and there is any attempt to meet it by force, he
will obey his orders.

NOTES AND OPINION.

The Michigan Democratic Convention, to
nominate for Supreme Judge and Regents, will
be held at Jackson, the 9th.
Time was that an American Secretary Of
State was particular on the subject OF dress,
that it should illustrate the Republican idea.
Now, according to the New York Times:
Hecretary Fish addressed communications to the
members Of the Diplomatic Corps requesting them to
appear in full court dress at the ball. and in contunc
ton with the glittering uniforms Of our army and
naval officers they will present scsne Of briluancJ
rarely Witnessed.
The St. Paul Press, which is accused Of hav-
ing had some OF it, says; ::
Upon the Repubcaasin the Legislature devolres the
eo1emn duty of eaacting such lawn as will secure
thorough and radical reform Of the looee system OF ad-
1nststng financial trusts only by the State Treas
urer, but by al County Treasurcrs, which has prevail
ed aimee the organization Of the State.

Credit Mobilier las been first brought to the bar
Of public investigation, though while its cor

made so odious that their taint will ne7er re-
movo from those implicated, yet no one has boen
punished. We await now, with some interest,
the proceedings OF tho French Court. to
see how French Justice will bo administered.
It is peculiarly aggravating in this case that not
only was direct swindle perpetratod upon the
PArisians, but the operation has seriously Affect
cd tho American name in France, and will make
the negotiation Of American securities matter
OF extreme difficulty hereafter. It ull be pecu7

The letter which the Hon. Mr. James Brooks
sent to the Board OF Directors Of the Union Pa
cific Railroad Was characteristic document. So
long as there was danger that Mr. Brooks might
be expeled from Congress, he went about hang
ing his head, growing PALE heaving great sghs,
and otherwise conducting himself in g manner
to attract the sympathy OF his fellow-members,
and the co1nmiseration Of the newspaper-report-
ers and the public they could reach. But, now
that the danger Of expulsion is passed, Mr..
Brooks proc1aims aloud his intention Of serving
in tho next Congress and drawing his in
creased pay, Of voting for the Pacific Railroad
on every future OCCASION that presents itself,
and Of making himself as conspicuous as if he
had received yote OF thanks instead Of vote
Of ceusure. ::

The Peace Commissioners have at last suc-'
ceeded in having an interview with Capt.
Jack, shack-Nasty Jim, scar-Faced Charlie, and
others OF tho Modocs, who have made their
country SO hot for the white settlers, and tho
result has not proved satisfactory. The object
OF the Commissioners, and the only object as it
appeared, is to induce them to remove to their
reservation. As this was also the object, and
the only object, Of the military forces sent to
the lava-bed, why in the name Of all that is SEN
sib1e don't the military accomplish their busi-
ness ]? How much longer is this Peace Commits
sion farce to be allowed to 60 on? II there
int power enough in the United States to re-
move this handful of Modocs aud compel them
to go where they have been ordered to CO. then
both military and Pence Commissioners had
better be removed 30 that the Modoca can be
left free to rcaume their pillage and murder.

in Dublin. Tho London Spectator thus states
the objections which are likely to arise: at is
obvious that tho critical points Of this measure
with the Trinity College party will be tha taking
away from them the degree-giving power, and the
handing it over to the new body,-which they will
dislike, as likely to lower the standard OF gradu-
ton; and with the Catholic party, the long
time that must elapse before the Catholic gradu~
ates gain anything like political equality in the
new University, aud the endowment OF a new
mixed teaching body, which they will BIO inclined
TO look upon with jealousy as establishing
fresh centre Of competition with their own SEM
inaries. We do not see how either party are to.
