The 1 Republican Convention yesterday nominated Mesara. W.

W. Farvell and Hanry D. Booth as Judges of the Circuit Court. It affords us pleasure to say that both these gentlamen are competent and unexceptionable in every point of riow. It is altogether probable that they, and Mr.

Lambert Tree, will be elected, in which event we shall continue to enjoy the sorvices of a high toned and incorruptible judiciary, Mr. Farwell is a member of the firm of Goodrich, Farwell Smith A man of retiring babita and close application, he has nerer made himself conspicuous before the public; but to the more thoughtful portion of the community this will be an additional recommendation for the position for which he has been nominated. Mr. Booth is the Professor of Law in the University of Chicago, in which position he has commended himself very warmly to the younger members of the profession, and, at the same time, has won the respect of the bar generally. All unite in propouncing him well qualified, both as regards intellectual attainments and moral firmness, for the position of Judge.

The public are aware that we did not hold ourselves committed to support tho nominees of any convention merely because they were nominated We have urged the solection of able and upright lawyers for the bench, and have been fully determined to support no others We balieve that those qualifications are secured in the persona of Messrs, Farwell and Booth and we shall, therefore, support them, and also Mr. Tree, so far as we may be privileged to support a third candidate, for we believe him to be likewise an honest man and a good lawyer. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. The House of Representatives has passed bill, commonly called a River and Harbor a bill, which provides for, perhaps, one of the most reckless and unjustifiable expenditures of the public money ever committed by any legislstive assembly. The bill appropriates, among other sums, for continuing the work on the Lonisville and Portland Canal, That canal cost $5,000,000.

Fifteen years ago it consed to do enough business to pay for keeping it in repair. The commerce which once needed guch a canal had left the river and had resorted to the railroads. Congress then appropriated the entire earnings of the canal to any person who would enlarge it. The job WAS undertaken, and, after contracting a debt 81,600,000, the work was abandoned. Since then, Congress has been importuned to pay this debt and expend $1,200,000 more money enlarging the ditch.

Two gears ago, the Secretary of War allotted $250,000 this work, and now the House of Representatires has voted as much more. The Ohio River has recently been bridged at the Louisville Canal, and what little use there was such a canal hag been completely obfor viated. The canal answered all purposes of navigation when steamboats were only mode of transportation, but now, when steamboats hare left the Ohio River to turn Do more, Congress listens acceptably to a request to enlarge the canal to admit steamers which are not seeking admission. The folly and wanton waste of money shown by this appropriation is exhibited by fact that neither the city of Louisville, its Board of Trade, nor any other body, vate or corporate, would accept the canal free gift, and be compelled to pay the a penses of opening and shutting its locks, and of casual repairs. This money is a rect donation from the National Treasury to give some contractor one or two years' job, Upon the brink of the Falls of St.

thony a number of persons have built mills. These mills are so arranged that logs enter on the upper side of the mill, caught by machinery, sawed, and pass at the other end in the shape of lumber, which is then built into rafta, and moved down the river. The stone over which water falls is wearing away rapidly, and, checked, will either destroy these less or require their removal further up The Engineer Corps sent an officer stream. up there, who reported that this wearing away of the rocks could be arrested by ing an apron upon them, thus protecting them against the action of the water. He also reported that be built around the falls, and, if might canal were large enough, navigation be continned above the falls by vessels there from below, Tha House riving Representatives, moved by the piteous nation of the mill-owners, has appropriated to put an apron on the falls.

850,000 other words, has voted that much for a purely private purpose. The House has voted $150,000 canal alongside the Wisconsin build a from Portage City to the mouth River, the river. This work will cost $5,000,000, and, year after year, this appropriation, which is merely the entering wedge job to sell to the go verament big property of a private canal company stock is at presant of little value, will to be repeated. The last Legislature of Illinois away, to a railroad company, the land at the bottom of Lake Michigan, and front of the city of Chicago, Against legislation the city of Chicago has tested.

This money be raised by direct taxation upon the of this city. We have thirty miles river front property, all of which heavily taxed.

By this bill the ment interposes to impair the value of property, and, at the national expense, build an outer harbor, to be held owned by a railroad corporation. The bill, in like manner, expends public money on BOOTES of other jobs, making the National Treasury almoner for all the beggars and lazzaroni the country. General Logan, by way of the whole bill, moved to amend it pending $50,000 for Calumet harbor, finally, the House voted the money to a harbor at that point! The House of Representatives passed this bill is the same which fused to reduce taxes, lest the would not have revenue. This is the House which voted to tax steel rails cent, and to increase the daty on doth. It is the same House which, yesterday, refused to abate the tares clothing and the utensils of labor; refused to take the tax off horse-shoes wagon-tires, and off the cotton shirts calico dresses of the people.

But the same House bad the of the money thus raised by lavish in its bounties to was sturdy mendicant that asked to mill built, his real estate improved, contracts enlarged st the public A more pitiable exhibition of the unfitness of the present House and to bare charge of the resentatives was never made than in money passing this bill. It is stated (as that could change the character transaction in any way) that of the 000 appropriated, the West gets Thank you for nothing! Speaking not for the West, particularly, but for the tarpayers generally; for the men and women who earn their own living, and who have neither time nor inclination for jobs" ot the expense of the putting up National Treasury, we denounce this whole system 88 a fruitful source of corraption. and demoralization, and a profligate waste the public treasure. It is no part of of the proper functions of gorernment to undertake and carry forward such works as these; and, even if it could be shown that the benefits to be derived in particular instances were of more than a local and private character, we should still object that, the door once opened, there is no shutting it. What the country wants is a reduction of farce.

If Congress has surplus of strike it off the tax bills then $3,000,000, each individual will get his share. THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL TAX-THE OTHER SIDE. all this, a very considerable portion of the trade of the Illinois Central comes from Town, Minnesota, and Western Wisconsin, on the north; and Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi. and Teras on the south, to say nothing of the trade supplied by the lake country, Indiana, and the Eastern States, Certainly the revenue derived from these sources should be paid into the State Treasury for the common benefit of all the counties. It will be seen from the foregoing that there are two sides to this question, and that those opposed to any division or diversion of the fund can offer many strong Arin support of their position.

We guments hare not taken part in this controversy, and do not intend to do more than to give have referred to the opposition to the in the new constitution relative to per cent tax on the gross receipts of the Certral Railway, which is being manin a number of the counties through that road runs. But this opposition no means, general -in all the thirtycounties traversed by that highway, and the opposition cannot defeat the 500- because all the other sixty-seven counwill rote solid for the payment of the into the State Treasury, and against any of it, or any part of it, with the aforesaid thirty-five counties, The present of revenue received from the Illi7 per cent tax is in the vicinity of half million of dollars, or, S8J, one dollar for roter in the State. The State taxes of county are reduced, by virtue of this of income, to the amount of one dolfor every male adult citizen therein. Suppose that the Ilinois Central was on the same basis as other roads in State which receired no land grants, amount of State, county, and municitaxes would be derived therefrom? best estimates we can make show that State Treasury would receive but per annum, and- the counties about $60,000, and the towns perhaps exclusive of the city of Chicagomaking a total of $160,000, instead of nearhalf a million which the company now It is very questionable whether the taxation on the road, if permitted, amount to much more than the sum placed to their credit in the State Treasury. the county of Will, for example.

Illinois Central pays into the State Treastiry fully $8,000 per annum to the of that county. In other words, County would have to be taxed $8,000 for State purposes bat for the paid by the Illinois Central on her account. The road rung twelve miles through that county, and if she could tar local purposes, she would not receive to exceed $1,000 on the valuation of the track within her territory. Hence, Will County probably vote solid for paying the income therefrom into the State Tressury. Ford County is another, through the road runs for a few miles, that would lose by any diversion of the fund the State Treasury.

Cumberland, Shelby, and Fayette are counties, through which the road passes for a few miles, that would lose largely by disturbing the tar County, which can cast 50,000 votes, perfectly indifferent on the subject. Cook pays one sixth of the taros for State purposes, and therefor receives 8 credit the Illinois Central fund of about 880,000 a year, and it is doubtful whether taxation on the property of the road, located in the county, would amount anything like that sum. On the other hand, thera is a class counties particularly bitter against any turbance or diversion of that fund from State Treasury. They consist of those counties lying close to and adjoining of the road, but not touching it, which contribute largely to the business road, from which the tax is derived. The land grant extended over those connties, as well A8 over the others through which the road passes.

To allow the latter counties to tar the road for local purposes, and not permit the former, also, to do felt and resented as an aggression their rights, and gross injustice to them. The following are the counties so ated: Vermillion, Livingston, Piatt, Moultrie, Jasper, Montgomery, Bond, Clay, Clinton, Jefferson, Franklin, Williamson, Johnson, Massac, Marshall, Putnam, Teau, Logan, Whitesides, and Carroll, all wham farnishad land for the construction the road, and have, since it was contributed largely to its freight and traffic, But they, each and serger would be excluded from the privilege taxing the road for local purposes. Hence, they very naturally insist on having all derived from the 7 per cent revenue paid into the State Treasury where they ceive the benefit of their equitable share it, in the shape of a reduction of their taxes. All these counties will, naturally, vote solid for the retention of the fund tact, and, therefore, for the amendment. Then again, a considerable amount of ness travel as well as freight, is tributed to the Illinois Central, the counties connecting with it by variods was.

Thus, St. Clair, Richland, rence, Wayne, Edwards, Wabash, Hamilton, White, Saline, Gallatin, Hardin, Edgar, Crawford, Madison, mon, 'De Kalb, and Tazowell, tribute a considerable amount of ness in One way of another, they are not willing that the through which the road actually should derive all the tax from it, THE CANAL JOB. THE TRIBUNE demonstrates to its own deepening of the don, canal but wu is no one blunder in engineering, and predicts else's, that the that it will prove a failure in draining the river. that The canal same would paper, only drain the North Branch, bat some time since, predicted the from the lake Ag the pumpa at draw Bridgeport no water draw water from the lake, but do not affect the North Branch at all, the value unfortunately, of our contemporary's predictions in the mattor can be easily arrived at -Chicage Journal The memory of the writer of the above is badly at fault. It was one of paragraph the other city dailies, -the Times, wa becontended thus the cuuul would luve, drain the North Branch.

Tar TRIBUNE eXand ridiculed the absurdity of the posed assertion at the fime. THE TRIBUNE nevEr said the canal would draw no water from the lake. What it has affirmed for four and still affirms, is, that a considera. years, ble portion of its capacity will be occupied in discharging the natural drainage into the Branch; that, before it can drow South the lake, it must carry off all the from water that flows into the river from TAinA, drainage, and sewerage.

The canal will only draw water from the surface of the river, leaving all the sediment and deposits of the sewerage to settle on the bottom, and gradually fit it ap, unless removed annually, at great expense, by dredging; whereas a stream of pure water of 25,000 to 80,000 cubic feet a minute, poured into the river at Bridgeport, would produce a considerab'e current in the river at all times, sweeping all the sewerage deposits out into the lake, The water thrown into the river from this ditch would be in addition to the water that flows into it from drainage and which, after heavy rains, amounts considerable, and this added to the sewerage, to' lateral canal from the lake quantity the would contribute, would produce quite a strong and purifying direction, stream, --1. down flowing in the proper head of the stream to its and natural bill, place of discharge. We made all this plain from the but folly, stupidity, and several years ago, corruption combined, were too strong for arguments, and demonstration, and facto, the consequence is that the three millions ure wasted, and the canal will be partly spoiled, and the river will not be purified.

JOHN IN MABSACHUSETTS. The Knights of St. Crispin in Massachusetts are pushing their exactions to a point which is working out its own core in a mAnner they will little relish. At North Brookfield, recently, the league ordered a strike because their employers refused to discharge certain workmen for non-payment of their dues to the league, It appears that the league consisted partly of Americans, bat more largely of foreigners, and that the latter being disposed to go to ludicrous extremes in their exactions, the Americans withdrew from the league altogether. The foreigners contended that the membership was for life, they had no right to withdraw, and, on this theory, soon asserted a claim for the dues continually accumulating.

Upon their refusal to pay these, the knights 4 struck because their employers would not act as a police force to collect dues for the officers of the trades-unions! Another case will show the remedy: Mr. Sampson, shoo manufacturer, of North Adams, having similar difficulty with the St. Crisping, sent his agent to California, and he is now on his way back to North Adams with a car-load of Chinese Crispins, seventy-five in all, and more are soon to follow. His terms are $23 a month for the first year, 826 a month for the second and third years, $60 a month to Ah Sing, the foreman, who speaks English perfectly, fuel for their cooking, and, in case they die, their remains are to be faithfully packed and shipped back to the Kwoug Chang Wing in San Francisco, to be by. them shipped to their homes in China, They will devote their attention to 4f makeo shoe" in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, only on condition that their bones shall return, to ba buriod in the Colestial and Flowery Land.

But they will enter into no trades onions for the next two thousand years. Instead of objecting to apprentices, they will be only too happy to teach them, and, if any of them turn out no they are to be turned out with no pay. Over two thousand Chinamen are now employed in making alippers, in San Francisco. And wa are told that, A shoe factory has boen started in San Mateo by them; one hag been going some time in Onkland, and, recently, J. ML Went worth Co.

P. Willis, of New York, and RichHildreth, an old time Abolitionist and editor of the New York Tribune, as writers whose fame redounds to the credit of Southern literature. Of course it knOwE, ought to know, that none of these men were Southern in any sense, while one or two of them were as anti-Southern as any the country. Not even Wendell Phillips exerted a greater infuence than Richard Hildreth in shaping anti-slavery sentiment. There are authors whose laurels fairly beloug the South.

Of the authors named, one, Jafferson, wrote only to oppose slavery; others, such Livingston and Prentice, were anthors and writers of repute before they went to the South, and none of them, except DeBow and Pollard, were defenders or apologists of Blavery.

From the Pall Mall Gazette, May 19, The attempt to recover the treasure sank in Vigo Bay more than 150 yearn ago is turning out successful' After nineteen daya' ecarch made with diving-belle, Alteen galleone are reported to have been found lying at a depth of a few hundred feet, and on knocking a hole into the side of the Almirante some ingots, plate, and raluablo arma ware found by divers.

However, further researches bare been suspended for the moment, until the Custom House authorities shall bare conceded safe place to deposit the tressura. The Almirante and her consorta were sent to the bottom daring the war of Spanish succession, and have remained immersed in the port of a povertystricken nation during the whole time of the Bourbon occupation. Hardly bad Queen Is1bella been driven from the throne than a SpanIsh banker, long sottled in Paris, made overtures to the government at Madrid, and on condition handing over nearly half the tressnre in case of succesa, M. Poriero received permission to look for the sunken ingota, As the galleons have been lying at the bottom since the year 1702, some time was necessarily required to frea them lettora from a large cumulation of sand. but from Spain say that this part of tho task has been accomplished.

A French accoant of the Vigo affair ears that Count Chateau-Ronanlt was ordered to cacort the Indian fleet returning from Vera 'Cruz, when it was chased by 150 Dutch and English vessels. Chateau-Renault wiaked to run into a French port, but the Admiral, Don Manuel de Velseco, obstinatoly refused. Hence the Vigo disaster, which surpassed that of the eighteen French sals and twenty-eight galleons, laden with wealth, were takon. or destroyed, and there was hardly time, through the energy of the French Captain, to send a few millions ashore. Lord Mahon, whoso vereion is somewhat different, dwells at some lougth on the circumstances attending this affair.

He saye that our fleet was on its way back to England when the Duke of Ormond received intelligonce that the treagura shipa had gone into Vigo to aroid him. The cargo was eaid to CODeist of 83,000,000, besides much valuable merchandise. Tho English and Dutch Admirals and Generals resolved on an action.

The Chinese Companies of San Francinco Discourago Further From the San Francisco Bulletin. The Chinese Six Companies, of this city, are combination which considerable authority here and in China. Shortly after the arrival of the leet steamer from that country the loading men of the associstion hero, seeing about 1,900 of thoir countrymen lauded, called meeting, at which a circular was prepared. getting forth the reasons why Chinamen and Chinawomen should cease emigrating to this country. Copies of this circular will be poeted to the principal towns and cities of tho empiro for the information of all classes.

It is a long document, but the unbatanc a of it is that California and the adjoining are not what they formerly were, so far as the fecilities for making money are concerned; that very few Chinamen can obtain more than bars gabetstence, and that oply the merchantaare able to accumulate riches. The opiaion prevails generally in China that the placer mines in this State afford a good field for the labors of tho immigrant. The circular states that those mines do not pay any louger, as a general thing, and that if Chinese miners chance to make money in them, there is grest danger that they will be robbed of their earninge and driven out of their mince by thioves and robbers. -They say their people are not respected, but are put down to the level dan- of cattle and horses; they are in constant part of the State. They tay of the threats of or of violence, and ill-neage in every riot and bloodshed, that they consider most of them as idlo talk, bat would not do anything to provoke an attempt to execute them.

Tho condition of the people is described, that thousands of them are without work, can get none, and are destituto of food and other necessaries of life; that the have extended temporary relief to some, but that all cannot be aided. For these and other reasons they deprecato the policy of ponding any more Chinamen hero. of the female immigranta they say that the women who have como here have brought infinite diagrace, not only on thomselves but on the most respoctable Chinese bere. They also are adviaed to stay st bone. The chief men of the Sir Companies think the issuance of the circular will tend to retard very much tho futuro infur of their countrymen into America; and it certainly does not afford a very attractive picture of their present condition and prospects.

Brigham Young's Harem. We have aforetime given gossipy extracts from the letters of visitors to Mormondom, relative to Brigham Young's domestic affairs; but the following, from communication in the Cincinnati Gazette, contains somo details we do not remember to have previously The rooms of the women are very much alike, and furnisbed nearly alike. They livo are plain, but comfortable. The women Each in them precisely as people do st a hotel. lady vas her own koy, and when abe goes out she locke her door.

Thero is little visiting back and forth, and the ladies behave Tory much 18 gueste do at a first-clasa hotel. Every morning and evening, at the ringing of the bell, the inmates of the harem meet in the great parlors, to attend prayera. They sing Tho a bymn, and Young eat st prays the harem fervently. with his wires, but he seldom does a0 now.

The same food is given to all, and the bill of faro ie by no means a poor one. Brigham, from time to timo, designates some of his wires to take charge af the cooking, and they remain on duty anti relieved; during the day the women walk out, sew, sing, play the piano in the parlor, or walk with the children. Most of them spin, make cloth, and color it. They are very proud of their cloth and embroidery. In the evening, all bands go to the theatre, where every one of Brigham's wives has a reserved seat.

It is said that Young uberally supplies his wives with money, and on fine daya they drive out and go abopping. He employs a music the teacher, uso of French his teacher, and dancing master for Lousehold. women are well dressod, bat still they have to work hard, and he keeps up wholesome discipline over them.

The bills each prayed Injunctone to restrain the collection of assessments 01- the 60 per cent clause of the Revenue low. They came up on motion to issue the tpjunctions, The billa showed that the complainants had paid, and tendered to pay, all the taxes assessed opon them, excepting such tax ag wag Imposed under the 60 per cent clanse, upon spirits which they had never manufactared. Opposed to the motion was arged the statote (Sect.

The Injunction was in each case refused. Judge Drummond (Blodgets concurring) understood these provisions of the law to be thas when, in conformity with the mode pointed out by law, a tax la imposed, then the presumption shall be that it is collectable, prima facie, if the officers have followed the routine prescribed, In order enable the collection. It WAN foreseen that technical errora might be made, and the law steps to say the collection shall dot be interfered with on this account. This It is competent for Congress to legislate upon, for there la still given the party aggrieved the ordinary remedy by suit at law against the wrong doer, and then the government steps in and assumes the amount of ludgment.
