This report Of tho noard Of Trado Com
mtttco ought to DO read from beginning to
end by not moroly 1membors Of tho Board Of
Trade, commission men, and shippers, but
by all tho merchants OF tho city. 1t IL very
properly and trathfully pointed out that, to
tho extent TINT Chicago loses tho handling Of
grain by reason Of thia unfair discrimination
against her shipping interests, the merchants
will also sacrinoo their business. 1t is a p1ain
axiom Of tralo ulat, nil other things being
equal, mon will buy whero they sell, md, If
tho grain Of tho Northwest Ia diverted by
discriminating rates to cities othor thnn Chi
cago, whore 1t would naturally come, tho
1nerohanta Of Chicago may DO s,lro TINT they
, will loso rnrt Of thoir tralo By tho diver

ato with tho Doard of Trado in any notion
TINT n,ny DO taken TO break down thcse
determinations. Tho Committee rccom-
monl tho formation Of an association
for the protection Of tho Chicago shipping
intercsta similar to tho Cheap Transportation
Association Of Now York. Meanwhile, they
recommend tho offering Of freight to limo
Of steamers to run betwcon Chicago and
GRIND Haven, to connect with tho Grand
Trunk. Such steamers arc now running bo-
tween Milwaukee aud GRIND Hayon; they
will tako Chicago business in preference it il
is offered, and it is believed that tho run cnu
bo made during most Of tho wintor. Tho
Committee also advise that livery assistance
md encouragement bo extended to tho COM
plotion Of the connecting links OF rnilroad to
giyo tho Grand Trunk terminus In Chicago.
Their report ought to carTy with it great
moral Influence, and their recommendations
should bc received with high consideration.

against us there is estimated all the way from
5000 to 5000. These two cities are relied upon
by the enemy to overtear the interior counties,
all of which. with the exception OF perhaps
twelve, are Republican. Fears are entertained
that money will be freely used by the Tilden-
ties to buy votes in the populous cities along
the line of the Central Railroad. The yeoman.
ry in the rural districts are incoruptible.
On the whole, it will be tremendous strug-
gle and severe test of the Intelligence and
virtues of the people If the Republicans are
conquered, there will be much such feeling
in loyal hearts as there was after the battle of
Bull Run-presaging Donaldson, Vicksburg
and Appomatox. If they carry the day, of
which they by no means despond, the auspic-
ious event will be followed by an epoch of

NEW YORK.
A Specimen Policeman

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Mary Stewart arrived
here Friday morning from Boston in search of
friends. She lost her way, and late Friday
night asked a policeman the way to Broome
street She was told, but on the way was met
by another officer. named Gleason, who took
her to house, horribly treated her and left her
to find her way out She afterwards found her
way to the 18th street station house and staid
there during the night. Next day she identi.
fed Gleason as the brute who outraged her,
but Judge Smith, although saying that he be-
lieved her, did not see fit to punish Gleason.
THE woman was sick and faint, and through
Gleason's influence, another officer brutally
shook her, took her to the station house, and
with the knowledge of Sergeant Bergholg she
was kept in cell all Saturday night, Sunday
and Sunday night. The police then falsely re-
ported to Judge Smith that she had been sent
to st. Barnaby's Home. The Judge has in
structed them that if her friends here are not
found by the afternoon to send her back to
Boston. Her treatment has been exceptionally
brutal even for this city.
Fraudulent Pool Selling ia New York.
The Tribune announces that warrants have
