The frenzy runs for a few days, on the one hand, the non-participating majority begin to awake to the danger a»d get ready to deal with it, and, on the other hand, the rioters themselves begin to realize that they have interests at stake, and are applying the torch to their own homes. The slowness to appreciate and move against these disturbances is itself evidence of their infrequency and their inoppositehis until, ness in a republic. historically true that, in 1861, the country wrong. It is had neither army nor navy, and had to improvise both, thus increasing the duration and cost of the war; but if an army of, say 500,000, and a corresponding navy had been maintained for twenty years previous, there would have been no saving. Up to 1863, riots were local and trivial now, fourteen years later, there is an especially large one, induced by an event not likely to be paralleled in another century; but, if it were liable to recur every twenty years, it is plain that, keeping the standing army necessary to strike immediately at any number of points of disturbance would be a very costly method of insurance, and it would be cheaper to take the chances.

So with the Insurance Superintendent. Although neither of the two was under obligation to have the gift of prophecy, it was his duty to understand, in 1874, that the financial trial must have its effect on the life insurance business; and while new companies were forming, and the volume of business was doubling and tripling annually, it was his part to perceive that this was an unnatural forcing which could not last. Seeing this, he could have urged the Legislature to remove the dangerous facility the law gave for new organizations; he could have thrown his influence against the unhealthy competition; he could have watched the companies, particularly the younger ones. The first incumbent, whtfse ten-years* term ended in 1860, was probably the most at fault, for done well at all, and has almost been a failure. Upon both these classes of corporations the speculative mania which rose in 1862, and feljl in 1873, has been allowed to he took everything for granted, sailing with the current, take its course.

Thus it would have said to the have created a class of corporations, and will see that they start in business according to to public, in effect: " I go no further and guarantee Deal with them or not, as you choose, but pay in your money and take your own risks; if you do so, attend to your own interests and do your own watching, but do not rely on my care." This might or might not have been judicious, but it would have been intelligible and a perfectly open notice; on the contrary, the State undertook more and then failed to do it, and if it is good law and morals that damages done by rioters are assessable on the the general code, but I nothing. why system, established in a time of fair weather, for that county, very purpose. these losses which its is not the State morally responsible for own remissness in a duty volun- has been the fault ?

Tenders on Calcutta and Madras for bills at that price received about 10 per cent, and all above in full. On Bombay, at that quotation, 50 per cent of the tenders was accepted. The silver market has been firm during the week, and fine bars are now worth 54Jd. per ounce. On the Stock Exchange, an impatient feeling has prevailed.

Very small supplies of English wheat are now offering, and as> we require weekly some 350,000 quarters of foreign wheat and flour, a firmer tone has pervaded the trade, and an advance of some 2s. per quarter has recently been established throughout theKingdom. The weather has been favorable for the growing? crops, and a fair average harvest in Europe is anticipated. The deliveries of home-grown wheat are now reduced to very small proportions. During the week ended July 8, they amounted in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales to only 17,974 quarters, against 21,780 quarters last year.

The cars owned by the company and kept on its own line in general freight business have been made to earn each over one thousand dollars per annum, whilst the cars in the fast freight lines have only earned about five hundred.

The Receiver turned over the possession of the property and its management to the purchasers, John W. Ellis and others, trustees, on the first day of January last. The new Wabash Railway Company was organized soon after, and is in complete control and operation of the road.

Pr. ct. $2,816,546 58i,402 was $1,328,584 greater thau that of 1876, it did not meet tbe expenses of that year by $161,361, while the smaller revenue of 1876 was $467,090 in excess of the expenses, making tbe difference of $628,452 on the net result in favor of the year 1876. The most striking peculiarity of the freight business of the Wabash Railway is found in the comparatively small difference between the local and through rateB. This is occasioned by the fact tbat the line being a diagonal one between Lake Erie and St. Louis, it is cut at very numerous points by East and West " Competitive " lines which are in direct competition with it. points, therefore, are almost as numerous as the counties through which the road runs, and the rates from these points being necessarily " through" rates, no very marked difference can be made at tbe few small stations intervening. This is a fixed fact in regard to the business of the road which cannot be removed, and must be taken into the account whenever the character of the road is analyzed. This difference, however, 'bough comparatively small, is of serious importance when it affects a large volume of business, and the policy steadily pursued for two years past of localizing tbe business as far as possible, shows its fruit in the increase of the proportion of freight carried at local rates to that carried at through rates, which has been attained without sacrifice of any class of business.

Bond Coupons due September 1st, 1873, on presentation of the Coupons at the Boston Office, on and alter August 1st, 1877. — Buchanan County, Mo. The authorities of Buchanan County, Mo., in which the city of St. Joseph is situated, have failed this year to make any provision for the annual interest due on the bonds issued by the county, in 1869, to the St. Louis & St. Joseph Railroad Company, and have retained attorneys to defend the county against Buit for such default. The interest has been paid by the county for seven years. Chicago & Lake Huron.— In Detroit, Mich., July 10, the TJ. S. Circuit Court granted a decree of foreclosure under the mortgage of the Port Huron & Lake Michigan road, which covers the line from Port Huron to Flint, 66 miles, the decree being granted at the suit of the Union Trust Company, trustee. Subsequently a supplemental bill was filed by certain bondholders to set aside the decree, and for leave to file a new complaint, making the Chicago & Northeastern Company also defendant. The bill also asked that the present receiver, W. L. Bancroft, be removed, and a new receiver appointed. The complaint in this bill alleged fraud in the management, to the detriment of bondholders' rights. It set forth that the Port Huron & Lake Michigan Company had acquired right of way for the 45 miles between Flint & Lansing, and had done work to the amount of $300,000, all of this property being covered by the mortgage; that a new company, the Chicago & Northeastern, was organized and took possession of this property without paying therefor ; that this company had only a nominal amount of stock subscribed, and built its road really at the expense of the Chicago & Lake Huron Company; and, finally, that a land grant of 36,000 acres had bet n disposed of in some manner unknown. The bill further asked that the Port Huron & Lake Michigan mortgage be decreed a first lien on this 45 miles of road from Flint to Lansing. On July 17 the Court gave its decision, refusing to allow the relief asked for in the supplemental bill, on the ground that its allegations were not supported by proof, and that they were sufficiently disproved or explained. In order, however, to give an opportunity for bringing further proof, and also for examining the accounts of the receiver, it was ordered that the foreclosure sale should not take place until the middle of September. The Court was also of opinion that the mortgage does not cover the Chicago & Northeastern road. It. R. Gazette. Colambns & Hocking Valley.— 1 he Ohio State Journal says that the stockholders of this company, at their last annual meeting, had under consideration the reported discoveries of large and valuable veins of iron ore in the territory tributary to their road. They instructed the directors to have a thorough and reliable examination personally made by a committee of the and if the committee became satisfied that the facts would warrant the building of one or more branches, that such branches should be forthwith built, to rea.ih points where the land-owners were about to build, or were actually in progress of directors, constructing, substantial furnaces. A committee of directors most largely interested as stockholders, and quite conservative in their notions, made the examination, and became satisfied that existing facts and assured pros pecta would warrant the building of at least two branches at this time. Thereupon the construction of the Monday Creek and Snow Fork branches was ordered. They are now being constructed, and the track will be laid on a part thereof within the coming month. At the last meeting of the directors, they determined that rather than place the reserved stock on the market for sale, it was it December in interest, which, if not paid, might cause Boston Advertiser. to be instituted. proceedings bankruptcy Georgia Railroad— Port Royal.— The case of Iselin against the Georgia Railroad & Banking Company was before Judge Westbrook, in Supreme Court, Chambers, this week, on a motion to vacate an attachment against the Georgia Company. The New York Times report says " It seems that the Port Royal Company issued $2,500,000 of bonds, which were guaranteed by the other company. Among the bonds were $500,000 of what is known as sinking fund convertible bonde. Default was made iu 1873 iu the payment of the interest on the ordinary bonds, and a foreclosure suit was begun at Savannah, Ga.

Denver &1Rio Grande.— The Pueblo Chieftain says: "In June County, Treasurer Morgan made a sale of the property of the Denver '& Rio Grande Railroad, lying in this county, for the taxqs for 1816, amounting to some $9,000.

The mortgage dateB from 1867, when T. W. Park and H. H. Baxter borrowed $500,000 from Commodore Vanderbilt to complete the road to Chatham Four Corners, to connect with the New York and Harlem road. This loan was secured by a mortgage to the Union Trust Company. Default having been made in interest, the trustee began suit to foreclose iu 1870, and the present decision is in that suit. Iowa Railroad Tariff Law.— The late "granger" decision of the United States Supreme Court, made a few weeks since, has been crowded out of the Chronicle, as matter that would keep, and because the principle involved was fully settled in the cases previously decided. The title of this suit is the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, appellant, vs. M. E. Cutts, Attorney-General, etc., et al.; appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Iowa. The opinion states, in substance, that railroad companies are carriers for hire. They are incorporated as such, and given extraordinary powers that the road be deHvered to the tee, in order that they may the better serve the public in that capacity. They are therefore engaged in a public employment affecting the public interest, and under the decision in Munu and Scott vs. the People, just announced, subject to legislative control as to their rates of fare and freight unless protected by their charters. The Burlington & Missouri River Railroad Company, the benefit of whose charter the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company now claims, was organized under the General Corporation Law of Iowa, with power to contract in reference to its business the same as private individuals, and to establish by-laws and make all rules and regulations deemed expedient in relation to its affairs, but being subject, nevertheless, at all times to such rules and regulations as the General Assembly of Iowa might from time to time exact and provide. This is in substance its charter, and to that extent it is protected as by a contract. Whatever is granted is Becured subject only to the limitaiions and reservations in the chart.-r or in the laws or constitutions which * * * it. But when the Legislature steps in and prescribes a maximum of charge, it operates upon this corporation the same as it does upon individuals engaged in a similar business. It was within the power of the company to call upon the Legislature to fix permanently thiB limit, and make it a part of the charter, and if it was refused, to abstain from building the road and establishing the contemplated business; if that had been dene, the charter might have presentel a contract against future legislative interference but it waB not, and the company invested its capital, relying upon the good faith of the people and the wisdom and impartiality of legislators for protection against wrong under the form of legislative regulation. It is held that it does not affect the case that before the power was exercised the road had been leased and its income pledged to the payment of its debts, and that as the road was wholly within the State the latter had full power in the absence of legislation by Congress. Louisiana State Bonds.— The New Orleans Picayune says: " By agreement between relators and the State's attorney, the cases of the State ex rel.

A declining tendency followed, caused by dull Liverpool advices and improved crop accounts but yesterday some irregularity was developed; after sharp fluctuations the close was at a slight decline for the early months, and a corresponding advance for the winter months, which may be accounted for by the consideration that the latter were relatively too low. Liverpool advices have been drooping, and crop accounts, asreported to the New York Cotton Exchange, generally favorable, though possibly an excess of rain may have fallen in Alabama and Mississippi. The temperature, latterly, is pretty high. Today, there were rumors of a purpose to "corner" the market on the early months, and they were la higher, but the later months did not improve much.

One circumstance, however, is working against price and that is the increasingly threatening position the nation of Europe hold towards one another. It does not relieve the situation to prove that England is not likely to become a party to the war, so long as she is doing what is generally construed as tending in that direction for her acts under such circumstances paralyze enterprise almost more than war itself. Of course, while this lasts, and so long as our crop reports can be construed as favorably as they can be to-day, European spinners will take not a bale more than they actually need at the moments and if the political aspect continues as threatening as at present, European consumption will very likely be, for a time, to some small extent decreased. To show, however, how slight the margin between the probable supply and demand during the next three months, we insert Mr. Ellison's estimates for those months.

Despite the inactivity of the past week, values of' staple domestic cotton and woolen goods were steadily maintained, and there was no pressure on the part of agents to make sales under existing circumstances. Domestic Cotton Goods.— The exports of cotton goods for the week ending July 25, reached 3,500 packages, which were shipped as follows China, 1,734 packages; Great Britain, 1,065; Brazil, 230 D. S. of Colombia, 231 Mexico, 176 New Zealand 27 British West Indies, 20; &c. Brown sheetings and drills were in steady though moderate request, and prices ruled firm. Bleached shirtings were in comparatively small demand, and wide sheetings remained quiet. Cotton flannels were sold to a fair aggregate amount, but corset jeans and satteens were lightly dealt in, and colored cottons were sluggish aside from cheviots, in which there was a fair movement. Grain bags continued in good demand, and the late advance in price was fully sustained. Print cloths remained dull and nominal on the basis of 4£c, thirty days, for extra 64x64s, 44jc. cash for standards, and 3fc. for 56x60s. Medium and dark fancy prints were placed in moderate lots with local and Southern buyers, but the Western demand was light and unimportant. Ginghams were in fair demand and : ; ; ; steady at current prices. Domestic Woolen Goods.— There was a comparatively slugmovement in men's- wear woolens, but flannels and blankets were in fair request, and there was an increased demand for Brussels and iDgrain carpets by local and interior jobbers. Worsted coatings were less active, but agents still hold fair gish orders for these fabrics, and prices are firmly maintained. Cassi- meres were distributed in moderate quantities in execution of former orders, but new business was light. Such, also, was the case with overcoatings. Cloths and doeskins were relatively quiet, and there was not much animation In satinets or Kentucky jeans, though fair quantities of each were placed with the Southern trade. Repellents were fairly active in grades ranging from about 50c. to 90c, but finer qualities were sluggish. Worsted dress goods were taken to a moderate amount by buyers from remote sections of the interior, and there was more inquiry for felt and Balmoral skirts, but shawls remained quiet. Hosiery and shirts and drawers were distributed to a liberal aggregate amount. Foreign Dry Goods.— There has been no material improvement in the demand for imported goods, though a few styles were taken rather more freely by the Southern trade and looal jobbers. Cashmeres, drap d'ete and pure mohairs were in moderate request, but iancy dress fabrics dragged. Silks were in limited demand and steady. Linen goods ruled quiet but firm, and white goods moved slowly, but embroideries were in fair request. Men's- wear woolens were devoid of animation, but there was some inquiry for Italian cloths and satin de chenes. Gloves were in moderate demand, but hosiery ruled quiet.
