Xew York Tress on Waite.
Yobx, Jannaiy 20.-AU the pa-
' diij morning have more or less to
P*™ t ]„. President's latest nomina-
Chief Justice. The Sun says:
\f Waitb is well spoken of by those
to* are acquainted with him, but the
,h a t he is not generally known to the
, : w ;u render bis nomination for
Jo*ti<v less satisfactory than it
-858SKS “If President Orant's
, • 11 lertion for Chief Justice had hap-
his first, the appointment of
Vr Waite would have been received with
a ivlrr tv the country, and disappoint-
* t ami regret by that portion of the
who ever had any practice in the Su-
"Lfr Court. We have no doubt, says
Jr World, that Waite possesses some
1 rr cool n.—atire qualities, but itcomes
ts the conclusion that tho eight Associate
Justices can decide every case as ably
iithaut Mr. Waite as with him; and tho
Hnate would servo the country by keep-
iat the Chief Justice’s seat vacant until
„ a President who lias some nppre-
, ation of the .qualifications requisite for
erent station.
Tlie Herald cays: “No other reason is
jpmr. nt for the nomination of Wailo
ytetliat ft rant is determined to nomi-
„![,. t i„. man ho considers best, and not
mau the country considers best.”
Tie Tribune says: “Of courso Mr.
\fiile is not the best wan who could bo
muled for the place, hut there is no good
rrfuiin why he should not ho promptly
Manned, so that the great mass of se
rious people who helieve.in the principles
f,, r vliicu we went to war, and who re
gard it as the duty of the National Leg-
i-Waie to fortify and defend tlioso prin-
, |4.: by statute, and the duty of the ju-
•li.-iary to take care that they receive no
,! trimeat through hostile construction of
ill., law or tho constitution, may rest
, |U i,t. The correct political antecedents
..f Mr. Waite will seem far more impor
tant than all the learning and brilliant
abilities of Hen. Cushing.”
The Time* says: “The nomination of
Jmi;v Waite to the post, of Chief Justico
of the Supreme Court is a thoroughly re-
rpeetaldc one, and will probably meet
with little opposition from any quarter.
Ibis a min of very high personal cliar-
mtrr-of recognized ability and of quite
uHdcnt standing in the profession to
jnstiff the belief that he will make a
•pod Chief Justice. In nominating
Waite the President has shown an ear
nest desire to discharge a very difficult
duty in a conscientious m annor an cl without
refrivnce to party or the private wishes
of any clique iu Washington or else-
v.Vrs.”

Congressional.
the senate.
West, of Louisiana, presented a petition
of the National Board of Trade, in regard
to increasingthe facilities and cheapening
the rate of transportation to tho seaboard,
and asking for the improvement of water
routes, etc. He said, in presenting these
conclusions of tho National Board of
Trade, ho did so as an expression of tho
increasing feeling in this country upon
the important question of cheap trans
portation. Ho must iusi t that this
question to-day is demanding more at
tention than tho qncssion of finance. Ho
knew of no question of so much concern
to the West as that of cheap transpor
tation, and he hoped the committee hav
ing the matter in charge would he pre
pared at an early day to submit to the
.Senate some practical solution of this
problem. If the foreign markets were to
fir tho prices of the grain of our nation,
tlie.l it would become important to tho
people of tho West and to tho whole
country as to what the charges should he
between the point of production and the
point of sale. Tho charges now imposed
by railroadc, steamboats, middlemen and
commission merchants exceed three-fold
tho price paid tho producor. This ques
tion must bo met in some form by the
people of tho United States, hut more
particularly by tho Congress of tho United
States.
He did not know where the solution
would come from, as lie had lost all hope
of bringing in the railroads to a fair,just
compensation for transportation of pro
ducts. They met the producer at evexy
point with tho old common law doctrine
—the statement that ho should have his
freight transported atja foir^compensation,
and the .charges were more than reasona
ble. Ho could go to court and havo it
settled by the court and jury, but how
hopeless it i3 for tho shipper to go to
court. Tho expense meets him at once,
and draws him away, therefore he has
no redress. Tho people are no more
than moderate in their demands for tho
National Government to consider this
question. •
He belonged to that class which be
lieved that there could bo found in the
Constitution of tho United States power
to meet any question of national impor
tance. Tho powers of the constitution
arc ample and full to meet all exigencies
at all times for tho wants of tho people.
He believed the poorer could be found in
it to meet this question of transportation.
There was power conferred, by it for Con
gress to cross the line and look into States
to construct railroads and canals until tho
people of all sections of tho country will
be satisfied. Ho had no local feeling iu
the matter; but if tho great West was to
be cramped and confined for the want of
transporation to market, less than a quar
ter of a century would pass before Europe
and tho great East would be clamoring
for the products of tho West.
The people of tho West are active, in
dustrious and enterprising, and they
would transfer tlie manufactures of tho
East and Great Britain to their own sec
tion and thus use their own products.
The vast surplus of pork, wheat, com,
barley and rye of the West could hardly
bo estimated. A market must be furnish
ed. He differed from tlio National Board
of Trade as to tho power of Congress in
the matter. The Board seemed to have
a doubt as to that power, hut ho had
none. Ho believed Congress had power
to construct a railroad if it was deemed
expedient to do so. Ho did not say that
Congress had the right to_ regulate the
charges on private railroads, but it could
confer powers on a corporation to con
struct a railroad and prescribe rates and
fares to bo charged.
He had not yet made up his mind to
vote a single dollar for that purpose, but
would be willing to vote for one sucliroad
to bo constructed from New York to the
Missouri river, with branches to Chicago,
St. Louis, and other places. Should he
vote for that, however, lie would be ex.
pected to vote for fifteen or twenty more
such roads. That lie was not prepared
to do. ,
He asked that the petition bo referred
to tho Committee on Transportation
Routes to the Seaboard, with the request
that the committee, within an available
time, should present its conclusions on
this intricate Question. He liad no
hope that after all their industry, and
thought they would be able to present
a satisfactory solution of it, but tlieir re.
port would bo a step in the right direc-
! 'ion. The petition was referred to that
c. -wumittee. .
1&. Bogy, of Missouri, having obtained
uns Miiinous consent, said the question of
zportation had assumed that of tlie
<»reat est importance, and all felt it. Al-
tbou"Yt Re did not rise to give in his ad.
liesion to Hie party called Grangers, he
bailed fho birth of that organization with
a <rreat deal of pleasure. Tho farmers of
the Went felt the wrong that he labored
under. In his estimation, tho object
most to 1 >o desired was the opening of
the natural water routes of the interior
leading td the ocean—the improvement
of the .Mississippi, Ohio. Missouri and
other large streams of the West. The
mouth of the Mississippi should bo im
proved so that vessels of the largest class
could come np to New Orleans. Remove
these obstructions and we -will have af
forded to the great West the means of
cheap transportation and given the
people the means to roach foreign mar
kets with their products.
He did not favor the construction of a.
railroad now. Let that rest for tho time
beinir, and confine legislation to the
openin'' of the great water routes. .
Morton, of Indiana, asked unanimous
consent to take up the resolution for the
admission of P-B. S. Pinchback to a seat
in the Senate as Senator from Louisiana.
He said he desired to have the resolution
taken np that he might make a motion
to have it recommitted to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, with instruc
tions to send for persons and papers and
investigate as to the matter. Since last
Friday°he had received information to
satisfy him in the belief that an investi
gation touching the circumstances should
''^MeCreerv, of Kentucky, said he had ob
tained the floor some days ago, for the
purpose of addressing the Senate on the
subject of Louisiana affairs, and, if it met
the views of the Senate, lie ™uld ap
point Monday, after the expiration of the
morning hour, to submitt his remarks.
He therefore objected to the resolution
being taken np now.
Morton gave notice that after the gen
tleman (McCreery) should conclude oi
-Monday, he would move that the resold
tion be recommitted for the purpose of
investigation. Morton said, that for the
purpose of avoiding misapprehension, he
would state that tho matter which he
proposed to have investigated, when he
asked to take up a resolution for tho ad-
mission of Pinchbcak, was to havo the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
enquire, not as to whether Pinchback
was elec ted by tho legal Legislature of
Louisiana, nor as to the validitv of the
Kellogg government; but as to the per
sonal conduct of Mi*. P. himself in con
nection with that election.
On motion of Edmunds, tho Senate
went into extra session, and after five
minutes the doors were reopened.
Chicago Passenger Depot.
Chicago, January 20,—Between 3 and
4 o’clock this morning a fire broke out iu
the Union Central depot building, occu
pied by tho Michigan Central, Illinois
Central and Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroads, at tho foot of Lake
street, and in a short time made such
progress as to defy tho fire department.
Tho building was entirely consumed.
The baggage in the Chicago, Burlington
and Quiniy baggage-room was nearly all
lost, only a few pieces being saved and
taken to the freight depot across the
street- The bagggo in tlio other room at
tho south end of the depot was saved, the
fire being put out before it reached that
far. Some baggage, however, hail boon
restored to a place of safety. Nothing
was saved from any of the offices connect
ed with the depot, all being swallowed up
in a common destruction. The tracks
were crowded with cars and a part
them were saved, but tho men were una
ble to remove a number of fine pafisenger
cars.
The Michigan Central Railroad Com
pany lose three passenger coaches and
two Pullman sleeping cars. The Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad Com
pany lo3c three coaches, including one
Pullman sleeping car. The Illinois Cen-
tral Company I030 four coaches partially
burned. The Cincinnati Air Line Com.
pany lose one coach.
Tho losses* are estimated at between
$300,000 and $-100,000. Tho amount
insurance is unknown.
The depot was a frame building put up
after tho great fire for a temporary pur
pose.
Still Another Big Fire.
"While this fire was in progress and
claimed tho attention of the fire depart,
ment, tlio bell sounded again and the an
nouncement was made that tho large
stone front block, on Stato street, be.
tween Yanhusen and Harrison was also
on fire. It was fully twenty minutes be
fore engines reached tho ground, and tlie
flames had made such progress that five
buildings, from 201 to 302 inclusive, were
consumed. The fire was first seen in
Armstrong’s paint and oil store, 296 and
298 State street, and from here the flames
spread on either side, to tho adjoining
buildings. Tho sufferers are Colby A
"Wist, furniture, Merwin A Church, hard
ware, the .Woven Wire Mattress Compa
ny, W. T. Stickney, ladies’ underwear,
and M. W. A T. Lester, furnaces. The
loss is estimated at about $200,000.
Armstrong loses on stock, $14,000, on
building $6,000. Merwin A Chtocli, 300
and 302, lose about tho same amount.
Colby A Wirt, about $1S.000. Theso
buildings were new, having been erected
since the great fire. .
Thiers Mctlaled by Philadelphia
Frenchmen.
Pa&is, January 20.—Washbume, tho
American Minister, yesterday, on behalf
of the French residents of Philadelphia,
presented ex-President Thiers with
gold medal. In tila speccli uu tixu wist-
sion Washburne alluded in terms of
warm praise to tho friendship shown by
France to the United States during tho
American Revolution.. He also eulo
gized the French people who have taken
up their residence in New York.
Thiers feelingly replied. After ex
pressing his thanks to his countrymen in
the United States for their repeated
manifestations of confidence in Mm, ho
declared that a republic was the only
government possible in France, conse
quently the bond of friendship between
the two nations would be strengthened,

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Honey Stringency in tho Senate.
Washington,- D. C„ January 20.—
In the Senate the consideration of tho
resolution reported by tho Finoneo Com
mitteo in regard to relieving the money
stringency wa3 resumed. Brownlow of
Tennessee, submitted some remarks,
which were read by tlie clerk, the Sena
tor being too feeble to speak. He thonght
return to a specie payment would be
destructive to tho business of the country.
Our present financial system was very
good, but capable of some amendments,
one of the principal defects being tho un
equal distribution of the currency. The
South and West wanted more, and meas
ures should l*e taken to relievo those
sections.
Gordon, of Georgia, said" when, in an
agricultural country like tho United
States, the cultivation of tho soil ceases
to bo remunerative; when its profits
year by year are absorbed by others than
thetiliersof the soil; when the producers
grow poorer and poorer, and the non
producers rich; when wealth concen
trates in the hands of a few, then there is
a fundamental error in our financial sys
tem ; when in an agricultural cuuntry
liko ours an inconsiderable number of
citizens possess the power to divert from
the ordinary channels of trade a sufficient
amount of the circulating medium to
raise prices and cause panics, there was
some radical wrong; or when the price
paid for the uso of thecirculating medium
is so excessive as to be above the profits
of the producer, then the system of our
currency needs attention.
He argued that it was a fact that the
cultivation of tho soil was not remunera
tive, and the price paid for the uso of the
circulating medium was far in excess of
the profits of the producer. Wealth dis
seminated itself less and less, and the
power of concentrating money increased
this wealth—had only to will, and the
value expanded or diminished it—had
but to stretih forth, its hands, and tho
wheels of industry came to a stand-still.
If tills condition of affairs should con
tinue, the day is net remote when con
centrated money will fdictate the profits
every industry and enterprise in the
country. It will dictate legislation to be
bad in both wings of the Capitol, as it
docs now in some of the States, ivhy
were these things true in a country. «>
new, so vast as ours ? Let the apologists
of an unfortunate system explain a3 they
may, it is still true. The evil could be
remedied by Congress, and all this trou
ble avoided" in future. In the multiphc-
ity of conflicting plans, how was it to be
determined wMch plan would give relief
to the country ? Every theory must be
tested by the experience and history of
other countries, and any plan not sup
ported by that test of experience must
perish.
He opposed a speedy return to specie
payment, but did not desire to be under
stood as opDOsing it when it should be
consistent with the interests of the pro
ducing classes of the country. Any day
that Congress might set for a return to
specie payment would not relieve the
country. It was not just, not practica
ble, not expedient to adopt such a plan.
Should we contract, or should wo give to
tho country more currency? To his
mind, supported as he was by experience
and history, tho latter was the shortest,
surest and easiest method. We cannot
pay gold for greenbacks until we get gold,
and we cannot get gold until we bring
it back to this country. We cannot
get it till our exports bring it back to us
—until we increase our productions. To
inereasa those productions xve must cheap
en tho facilities, and the facilities for
cheap productions are first, cheap money.
He quoted from - various authorities to
show that England and France had a
larger per capita circulation than the
United States. If Congress would an
nounce that it intended to give more
money to the people, and give it flexibil
ity, that very hour would bring reliof to
the country and bring out millions of
greenbacks how boarded up.
He spoke of the wants of bis section of
c.untry, and said lie believed there was
more prosperity .there when it took sixty
dollars in Confederate money to buy one
in gold in the days of the war. Was it
the will of Congress to refuse to the
people this currency, which reason, his
tory and experience demand should be
furnished ? All the gold in the universe
could not pay'for tlio-property of the
United States; henceonr money xrasgood.
If the gold should all bo banished
from the country it would jnake no
difference, provided we had a currency
universally recognized. Some of the
mo3t beggarly countries in the world
were those where they bad nothing but
specie payment—Spain and Mexico for
instance—while some of the most pros
perous countries of the world were those
where there was a suspension of specie
payment. He thought this effort of
the Government to bring gold in the
country irrational, and only resulted in
keeping gold but by stifling industry.
Cheap money was what we wanted, and lie
hoped tho debt-burdened South and West
would heed the cry. High interest is a
high indication of low prosperity. The ‘
South had but little over two dollars
per capita circulation, and that was not
enough for the industries of that section.
The South is poorer to-Jay than sho was
tho day after Leo surrendered at Appo-
mattox[Courtbouse. Unless this Congress
gives speedy relief, nothing but ruin and
bankruptcy awaits the people there in
the near future.
Tho ruling bank interest in Georgia is
one and one-lialf per cent, a month, and
that discounted from the face of the note
and compounded every thirty or sixty
days. What country on the faco of the
earth could stand such rates ? Give tho
people more money, and give that money
elasticity. Ho hoped the day would
conic when we would issue money not
founded on gold, but on the faith of tho
Government and receivable for all duc3
alike.
Chandler, of MicMgan, said ho agreed
substantially with the remarks of tho
gentleman that there should bp more
money, but we wanted better money.
What the business of the country required
was stability. Tho business of tho nation
would conform to any stato of facts, pro
viding these facts be permanent, but the
perpetual changes destroy and overturn
the business of the nation. Tho recent
panic lipd beep brought about by wild
railroad schemes, but tho country xras
rapidly recovering from its effects. Be
fore thirty days money would bo cheaper
in New York "than it has been for the
past 20 yeara. Tho men who disturbed
all values and made disorders are now out
of the xray, and money is making legiti
mate channels of business. Tho time for
a return to specie payment was in-lSG5.
Values hnd then sunk and the people
were out of debt, but the Government
was not then prepared. Since then we
have been drifting farther and farther
from specie payment. He thought the
only plan woa for it,t Oorormnent to say
it xvoulil resume specie payment on the
first of Jannary, 1875, authorize the Sec
retary of tho Treasuiy to borrow one
hundied millions in gold at tnat time,
stop the sale of gold noxv and by the first
of January we would haTO txvo hundred
millions of gold to begin tlio redemption
of our legal tenders. Ho opposed any in
crease in the volume of currency, even tho
issue of the forty-four million roserve.
Morrill, from the Conference Commit
tee on the bill making an appropriation
to pay the salaries of official reporters,
made a report which fixes the amount to
be paid by each houso of Congress at
$42,000 for a Congress.
After some unimportant business the
Senato adjourned.
Firo ami Loss of Life.
Bennington, Yt., January 20.—The
knitting mill of H. E. Bradford xvas
burned this afternoon, the fire being
caused by the leaking of a gasoline pipe.
The gas ignited from tho boiler fire, and
exploding demolished tho adjoining sew
ing room. Nine xvomen, who were at
work there, were instantly killed by the
explosion or were burned to death in the
fire xvliich followed, and many others
were injured—some shockingly. The

destruction. L033 $100,000 — partially

Heavy Haul of Dlamonds-Two Trays
Coppered and $7,000 Gone Up.
We find the folloxving in tho Nashville
Union and American of Simday:
Cincinnati, January 17.—Thera was
most daring and successful robbery of
Duhmo A Co., jewelers, at G o'clock tMs
evening, by xvbich the robber got axvay
with $7,000 worth of diamonds, being
forty-eight cluster diamond rings, two
full trays. The young man who did it
bought a ring of Duhmo yesterday for
$27. This evening her eturned and asked
to look at diamonds. Mr. Duhme placed
two cluster rings before Mm. The young
man talked like a man of business, took
off the ring bought yesterday, said Mr.
Duhmo had forgotten to givo him a box
keep it in. Duhme took the ring
and turned to got a box for it,
leaving the two trays of diamonds on
the counter. Hearing the door, which
was only ten feet away, slam, turned to
the counter and found the man and his
diamonds gone. Ho gave the alarm and
pursuit xras made, but with no result ex
cept to learn from a boy that a young man
came out of the store in a great hurry,
ran down the middle of Vine street, and
turned west on Baker alley. It was dark,
and no clue has been obtained to the man.
reward of $2,000 lias been offered for
him and the goods. He bad been seen in
everal jeweliy stores during the day, and
described as about the medium height,
dark complexion, hair and eye3, light
build, brisk manner and pleasant ad
dress. He was not suspected at any
store he visited.
ing the regular appropriation bills, and to
cut these bills down as much as is prac
ticable. It is already apparent that
Congress xvill set its face against all meas
ures for the benefit of local interests, ex
cept very moderate harbor appropriations.
Private bills, too, will bo more carefully
scrutinized thanheretofore, and xvill have
a much harder road to travel than at any
prexrious session. AH the magnificent
schemes for internal improvements are
effectually killed by the vacuum in the
Treasury. Nothing more i3 heard of the
monstrous job of assuming the debts of
the Southern States, or the kindred lobby
project of refunding the cotton tax. Both
are postponed until a time when the
Treasury is full and no elections for Con
gressmen are pending. A session de
voted cHefly to “paring down” Gov
ernment expenses, “stopping a leak here
and thero, and enforcing economy where
extraxraganco has long been the rule,”
will not develop much that is sensational
or of great public interest. The investi
gation mania appears to have run itself
out last session. Beyond overhauling tlio
contingent fund expenses of the different
departments, there appears to be no dis
position to revive tho business of un
earthing corruption. No inquiry lias
been ordered into the matter in which
the Northern and Texas Pacific railroads
ot their land grant bills through Con
gre3s. Tho crisis ha3 so n9arly xvrecked
both of these enterprises that the virtu
ous indignation felt last winter against
them appears to have changed to sym
pathy.
A Senator Accused of Purchasing his
Seat with Government Honey.
Washington, January 1G.—The friends
of Senator Spencer are veiy uneasy about
sometMug which affects that gentleman’s
chances iu the contest for his seat. Some
time since a collector of internal revenue
named Witlner "died in Montgomery, and
among his effects xvas found a note for
$25,000, signed by George F. Spencer.
Tlie affairs of Collector Widner were in
an unsat isfaetory condition, and a special
agent of the Treasuiy Department was
sent to Montgomery to investigate. It
is said ho found that this note of Spen
cer’s xvas for public money advanced by
the Collector to aid in carrying his elec
tion. Spencer lias instituted a libel suit
against the Montgomery Advertiser for
publishing these facts. The Advertiser
docs not scare worth a cent, and has
come back at Spencer with a savage ar
ticle, vaunting its readiness to provo all
and more than it ever charged. The Ala
bama delegation in tho nouse, Demo
cratic as xvell aa "Republican, is very
much under the control of Spencer, and
it is difficult to obtain any information
from any of them in regard to tho true
status of Spencer’s case. However, Sir.
Sykes, bis competitor, claims that ho
will be able to prove the facts in regard
to tho Widner note before the Senate
Committeo on Privileges and Elections.
