In the Caldwell cuso, tho Bonato has done nothing further than to Loar an argument by Jonator Morton against the validity of tho eloo- tion, and & written dofonso of Sonator Caldwell oy himsolf, Mr, Morton urged that tho Benato hiad & right to proteot itsolf against such a orim- ionl, oven if tho Legislatufo of hia Btate had ‘boon #o Indifferent to its hionor as to eleat him Benator.

In tho firet noto, dated Oct. 18, 1872, Earl Granville Isys down dofinitely tho territories and boundaries which Englond considora na fally belonging to tho Ameer of Cabul, aud ‘whinh tha . Rresisen muRk nak tranegeess: O tho Tth of Docomber!

The Russien answer came sovon days later, and in it the Ohancellor racedes from his position in Docember, aud *doos not refuso to sccopt tho lino of boundary laid down by England.” This, of courso, closed tho corro- spondence, From theso dispatchos it ia now ovidont that thoro s a mutunl undorstanding botween the two countries resposting tho voxed question of the Cabul boundary lino, and that there will bo no trouble at prosont, unless tho Russions, in their forthcoming Khivan oxpedi- tion, transgress those boundaries and break their official agroomont, which they are nol likely to do. . Tho Now York Z'ribune enys “Tho killing of Charles Grom, Finouelal Bacrotary of one of tho local Trades-Unions, yosterday, is one of those crimes which has about it onough of mys- tory to onhance its ghastly horrors, Tho tragody adds another to the long, dark let which puzzlos tho wisest soclal philosophers,” Tho only mystory in this, or any othor of the recent tragedies in Now York, is tho maudlin sonti- mentality of these very social philosophora. Whon Mr. Parton,itho patoh-work litteratour,. comes forward and says ¢ Fostor did not mur- dor Mr, Putnam, beeauso he did uot mean to,’ when Dr. Tyvg asaures us that “ Lo cannot bo & murdorer bocause ho nover was & bad man or & drunkard” when an cminont logal suthority states that ho cannot have committed murder because a ear-hook logally is not a mur- derous weapon, when loading doctors, ministors, and others havo no battor excuso to offor for tho Drutal wrotch than that ko was angry,—being angry becauso Mr. Patusm objooted to his In- sulting ladios,—then the myatory of incressing crimo is onsily solved. The rospito which Gov. Dix bas grantad in Fostor's caso is tho strang- 1ibg of justico, instond of the murderer, in tho name of moroy. It iu a roopito for every othor murdoror now awalting puolshment, It is anin- vitation to overy brute to go shoad with his mur- this argument, and roquoested tho opposition, through Honator Cassorly, who has acted ‘a8 thelr spokesman, to name additionnl can- didates for positions on the commlitoos. Indolng this, tho Ropublicans havo concoded tho minority & plain right which has boon too long donled. Thoy now numbor {wonty-four- moro than one-third of tho Bonato, nnd aro on- titled to o ropresontntion of moro than one- soventh on the committoon. R —— Collaotor Casoy, of Now Orloans, is now in ‘Washington. 1lia commisston ns Collector does not expiro until April 7, and he does not want nils nomination Inid boforo tho Sennto until noxt wintor, Ifo knys ho is to bo reappolntod by tho Prosidont as soon a8 the ‘Sonnte ndjourns, Br.

Upon this point, howover, thore is renson to bolisve that Mr. Cnaoy would nagotist ncompramisa, whora- by, It tho McEnery Loglslaturo would oloot Mr. Caoy to tho Sonato, tho Administration might probably consider that, inasmuch as Durell's judi- ofal procoedings wero all vold, it woro hotter to bogin all over again, aud recogniza tho Btsto Govornmont olocted by tho paoplo. Tho sugges- tlon of Mr. Cndoy, that tho commoroisl intorosta ot New Orlesus will soon oxorclao thoir influence in faver vf the de faclo Gov- ornment, 18 probably truo.

Wo havo not boon solicitod or nsliod by any railrond company or rallroad man, directly or indireotly, to publish one lino for thom, or in their bohalf, sinco tho prosont controvorav hacan Wa haun romsod to oncourago farmors to boliove in cor- tain Tios which aro told thom by demagoguos, of whom Mr. T. W. Lawronce may or may not bo one. Ono of tho lies which has beon industriously clrculatod through tho sgrioultural community ta, in aubatanco, whatover nico form of words may bo omployod, that tho Btato owns all the railroads, and can, thorofore, through its Legls- loture, fix tho rates of froight and faro on them without consulting tho roal own- ors, This ballucination was started four or fivo yoars ngo, and wo ondeavored to point :out its unronsonabloness at that timo. This fallacy was ongrafted on tho now Constitu- tlon of the Btate in 1870, and thus beenme to be moroe gonorally and thoroughly bolieved to bo & truth, The Logislaturo of 1871 assumed it to Do n truth, and -noted upon it. There hasboenno timo, sinco this doctrino was first promulgated, tlat its advoeates in and out of tho Logislatura bive recognized tho existonco of any rights on tho part of tho ronl ownora of tho roads, and it was" not until they were brought up with s round turn by tho Supromo Court that thay ovon decemed it worth while to conuult with them. Wo bollove that thoy have now consontod to hear what the other #ido havo to say. If they had done this two yoars ngo, as wo advisod, tho railwny loglslation of this Stato would have boen nearer to a point whoro practical rosults might bo attainod than it nowis, It would hmvo boen casior for us to havo joinod in tho common howl than it was to utter & word of caution. Wo submit now, a8 wo did then, that hnsto makes wasto, and that in 5o dilicult o problem us thoe roguln- tlon of froight chargos, with the vast complicn- iion of compoting luos, Stato boundares, and wator transportation, it would bo wiso to cousult, in an'intelligont and ordorly manner, thoso who built the roads and who pay the cost of oporat- ing and maintainivg thom, bofore coming toa Qofinito conclusion. ;s Anothor lio that has been gedulously incul- cnted in, that if tho prico of com is at a certain figuro in Now York, tho railronds onght to carry it thoro ot such & rato as will yiolda cortain profit, or somo profit, to tho farmor,—and this wholly irrospoctive of tho quostion whother thoy hiave or can obtaln cars enough to do it or not, A fow days ago tho Erio Railway had 1,200 cars derous work, for hanging is played out. The Republican majority in the Senate havo concoded the olaim of tho opposition to a largor ropresontation on tho committeos, During tho Isst and soveral provious sessions of tho United Btatos Benato, tho majority of tho body have moroly rocognized tho oxistonco of thominority In thecomposition of the commiitoos, The Bonato conslsts of soventy-four membors, and ench atanding committeo of soven mombers. Horotofore the minorlty have bed but one mom- bor allowed thom on oach committeo, At tho Ropublican caucus on Saturday, tho commitices wero arranged, and slx Ropublican Benators woro sasigned to ench commities, The list was then lnnded to tho other sido to dosignata one momber for onch committeo, Tho opposle tion, yostordsy, refused to accept tho allot~ mont. Thoy stated that, numorically, thoy oxceodod one-third of tho Benato, and wore on- titled to a proportionate ropresentation on tho committoos. At thelr caucus last night the nepubllu‘nn Benators admitted tho justico of lying at Joraey City, londed with bacon con- signed to Europenn .ports, waiting for steamors to take It away, Thio so of thowo cara was worth 10 por day, and sinco the stonmors could not take tho froight it was placed in store by tho Erlo officials, whoroupon thore was a great outery on tho part of the ownors of tho Dbacon, who wanted to use tho -cars for storoliousos without paying anything, Wouso this illustration moroly to show that thero iu a deflolonoy in tho moany of transportation, both on land and wator, aund that whothor the price of corn gooa up to a dollar or down to fivo conts in Now York, tho railways cannot carry o bushol of it 40 long as thero is moro valuablo property, like bacon, waiting to bomoved. It is n fact well known to the com- meroinl community; thnt thoro has beon g dofi- clonoy of oars horo all winter to move the pork and boet product, and & like doficlonoy of acean tonnage at Now York to move the same olass of freight. Iow ldlo, then, to talk about the low prico of corn in Tows, and fa hold up the feot that farmors aro burnlug It for fuol. Thas {sa griovous ciroumatance undoubtodly, but it doon not holp us to oarry the hogs and cattlo to mar- kot, which must cortalnly Lo gotten out ot tho wny beforo any corn can o carrlod cither ata bigh or alow rate. Tho dit- flenlty which oxists at Now York oxists in n grontor dogreo st Now Orleans, Flnding tbat tho price of corn at the Inttor placo was G0 conta vor bushol, while it could bo bought at many of the rivor landingn in Iilinols, Missourl, and Town for 20 cents, wo rocontly took paina to iuquire why 80 grent n digorepancy oxiated whon rivor froights woroso low. Tl:o auswor wo rocoived was, that thoro was not sufliclont ocoan tonnage obtalnablo to carry oft tho cotton arop, and that no corn could bo moved until this was disposod of—that the locul domand for corn was lmited, and that ony large ehipmonts to that market would not moroly put down tho prico to & very low figure, but would lenve an unsalablo surplus in tho hands of the consiguoes, A third lo, which is no less injurions, nud which hne pssod curront o long timo, s that thio froight blookado ean bo ralscd by logislation InTllinols. Itls vory cortain tlat tho Logisla~ turo of ihis Blato can neithor increaso tho capacity of the grain warohouses in Chicago, Milwaukoo, or Tolodo ; -nor romovo the fco from thoBtralts of Mackinaw; nor 8dd to the number of vessels on tho Iakes; nor add to the numbor of carn on tho raflways henco to tho Atlantio soaboard; nor control thoso raflways, even If tho additional cars could be found. Legislation in this Stato may posalbly control tho rates to boobnrged in this Btato; but, until it can do somiothing moro, it will furnish no real reliof to tho farmers. Unjust, disoriminations - in rates betwoon difforont communitips aro & roal griovanco, and ‘wo shall give our: bost offorts as o public journl to tho oradleation of that abugo. Yot oven hore wo submit that it ie bost to bost what tho othor side bave to ey ‘boforo resorting to any summary moasires. What tho community want s, not to havo the ratos for competing points lovoled up o tho atos chiarged to non-competing points, but to hnvo the ratos of the' lattor loveled.down to tho formor. It i not to bo supposod, for Inatance, that if tho Alton Railroad ceascs to carry lumbex £ Bloomingon, tho compating rosds will carry at tho ssme rate as formorly. It isnottobo supposed that aftor all the Illinois rosds have consed carrying lumber to Bloomington, tho Indisna rosds will carry at tho samo mto sa formerly. They. will put up tho ratos to Juat tho figurowhich will onable them to monopolizo the business. Thorefore wo ropont that ovon in the matter' of unjust disorimina- tions it is bost to consult the railway compa- nfes bofore taking final action, if roal rolief is tho thing sought after. If, on the othor hand, this i o battlo of opposing domagoguos, in which tho intorests of thio farmor aro the Inat things to bo considered, it will be best to pass tho most rockless bill that anybody can draw. BTATE OWNERSHIP OF BAILROADS, In ‘anothor partof the present issucof Tng ‘FnmuNe will bo found coplous extracts from two spooches made by Mr. Oharles Franocis Adams, Jr,, and Mr. Edward Atkinson, beforo tho Massachusctts Logislaturo, relative to Atato ownorship of railrosd linos, Mr. Adams repro- montod” tho Mnssnchusoits Board of Railroad Commissioners, and, in urging the purcheso o tho Fitchburg, Vermont & Massnchusctls and tho Massnchusetta Central Roads, submitted n ernviamal ammmmank in famnm -8 Mimve VIHGLBUR, Mr. Atkingon represonted & remonstranco of cltizons to this projoot, and prosonted a countor- argumont againet Blate ownership, Dolh ad- drosses aro careful and claborato roviows of the gonoral guestion, and; as such, aro ontitled to apecial attentlon at this timo, Mr. Adoms hss modeled his idoa of the State owuorship of railroads on the. system now in voguo in Belgium, under which tho State owns a portion of tho railronds, loaving the romaindor in tho hands of privato capital. By this means he claims that tho Btate virtually controls tho ontire railrond systom of the country in the in- torest of It citizens, This, he seys, may bo ae- complished in this country by the Btate owner- ship of & main or trunk line, whose ratos will practically dotermino tho rates of all othor linos. It ia-not by competition slone that such a result will bo brought about; but a demonstration that o Stato can run a railroad and make it ressona- Lly profitable at cortaln low rates will -forco tho private corporations to yiweld to tho demands of tho peoplo that they shall do tho eamo. Ho moota " tho chargo - that the Btato ownorship of railroads would genoralo political corruption in two ways: First, ho says that ' tho sway of tho railrond man and the lobbyist is notorious in half tho Legislatures of tho country,” and maintaing that nono of the dovicos of political corruption could oqual tho present system of railrond suporvision and rogu-~ Jution, under which ono man suporvises and rogulatos tho proporty of anothor. In tho socond place, ho makes a distinction botween tho sub- sidizing and tho owning of railroads, Tho op- portunities for corruption in'the former plan Davo boon abundantly demonstratd, not only in tho Crodit Mobilier transactions, but in tho cago of evory Btato, and overy county, and overy city that have lonued their credit to private rallroad ontorprises to bo used and manipu- Intod os privato interosts may suggost, Ho holds that such opportunitios would not prosont them- solven whoro the Stato actually ownad s raflroad and managod it To illustrato this point, Lo compnros tho postsl system snd tho Union Pas cifio Ruilrond. In tho ono caso there is absolute ownorship and control in the hauds of tho Gov- ornmont, and ‘no gonoral corruption has ovor boen urged againat it. In tho ofhor, thoro was slmply & reserved right of suporvision, which was grosaly abused by the mon whom the Gov- ornmoht thus set up in business, He cites the rospective condltions of wator-worke owned angd controllod by city governments, and the gas. works, which ellies morely keop undor genoral suporvision, as casos in point. In ono word, ho vigorously opposes tho polioy of eubsidizing as dangerous and full of corruption, while lo advoeates tho polloy of sctual ownership by tho ftato of part of, the railway systom a8 lan moans by which combing. tlons may bo proventod, tarilfa regulated, and rallwaya mauaged in the intoreats of tho poaple withont tho sacriflce of maney, In answor to the suggostion that the ownarship of 200 or 800 gold, tho projoct abandoned, sud nomo othor ‘moans dought for tho roliof of tho poople. But it {8 his bollof that tho ontorpriso would notjbo unprofitablo. Tho Instance which Mr. Joy cited, in whieh tho Bialolost monoy whon the Michigan Contral Rallroad was in its Tlands, was not a fair critorlon. Thin ocourod b ntlmo whon railroads worenot profitablo, whothor in tho hands of the Biate or of private corpora- tlons, Tho railroads broke down without tho Btatos, nnd tho States thomsolves broke down without tho raflronds. It is notorlous,” Mir. Adoma says, * that thoro In hardly a rallrond In Tilinols—thoe groat rallroad Biato—which has not pasaod through bankruptoy in private hands." Tho oxporionco in Bolglum, on tho contrary, shows thnt the vonture would not bo likely to prove unprofitablo. Tho not roturn upon the invostment in Btato rosds thoro wag six and ,tirco-tonths por cont, which ls oquivalent to twelve per cout Loro, ag tho rate of intorest over €60,000 by Onldwoll ne established by ovi- dence that is not controvorted, and say that thoy Lavetaken noacoountof severalsmallaumashown to have boon paid by him. Thoy stato that trom tho ovidonco *'tho canvass of Mr, Caldwoll was thoroughly corrupt, nnd thet monoy was tho chiof argumont rolied upon.” Tho Committes stato In their report that jt was n mattor of doubt whethior Caldwoll's offonas was ono for which ho should bo punishoed by expulsion, or ono that should go $o thovalidity of his cleation, having tho offoot of making it vold; that & majority of tho Committeo inclined to tho latter nphllun’ and, thoreforo, roportod that Aloxnnder Cald- well waa not duly and logally oloctedito tho Son- ato of tho United Btatos. 3 Yosterday the caso was taken up fn the Senato. Mr. Morton, of Indians, made .an olabornto Bpocol, declaring that Caldwoll's oloction *yas tho most flagrant caso of bribory in American politios,” which la saying o groat deal, Tho do- rulos. Yot tho rallronds wero managed to the entisfaction of tho pooplo and without ruining the privato corporations that ownod other linos, Mr, Adams conoluded by rominding tho Liogis~ Iaturo that it would not bo long before tho rail roads of Mnsaschusotts would nocesanrily bo con- solidatod within six corporations ntmost. This ig alrondy tho cdso in Frauco, whoro the rail- foads aro not o extonsivo. Hoholda that con- solidation is not only necossary but bonefloial, but insists that tho Btato should be ono of theso six groat railrond famitios. ‘Tho polnts which Mr. Atkinson makos ngainst tho projoct may be briefly eummod up as fol- lowa: Tho Btato cannot build & railroad ns well andas oconomlcally as_private onterpriso; in illustration of which bo polnta to that portion of tho Hoosao Road bullt by tho Stato of Massachus sotts, whioh lias boon doscribed as *so crooked, 50 wrongly placed, and o badly oconstruotod, that §t socined a8 If tho enginoor in chargo had boon making & job for his sucoessor to undo.” A Btato railrond would nocossitato s tox upon tho pooplo for ita purchase, which would bo to coorco thom to put their monoy into an enter- prise for which thoy would not voluntarily sub- seribe. - Tho invostmont would not stop with the construction of tho roads. Itwould bo neces- sary to build extonsive works for tho manufac- taro of locomotivos and cars. To carry out the principlo, it might bocomo nocossary for tho Btato to erect Blovators, and other- wise procced to organizo and main- taln commerco, na privato capital would probably rofuso to invest in ontorprises, tho most profit- ablo part of which had boon sssumod by the Btnto. It would also bo nocossary to advanco money for tho runuing of those roads until tho commorco should b sufficiontly largo end stendy to mako thom pormanently profitablo. Thoso largo smounts of monoy could not pass through tho bands of legislativo committocs and politi- cinns without doveloping corruption. Ner would thiore bo any approciablo roliof of tho people by choaponing tho rates of transportation ovor 200 or 300 miles of rond whon tho oxtortions thoy complaln of oxtond over 2,000 or 8,000 milos. M.

In spito of tho popular clamor, tho tariff from Ohlcago to Boston {8 only 1 2-10 cents por mila on evory ton of grain. Tho burning of corn for fuol, lie anys, haa occurred on railroads arti- olsion of the Bonato in this case will have aniim- portant boaring upon the futuro charactorof that body.

NAST HEARD FROM, Tho oxpodition which was sont out in momrch of Mr. Thomas Naat, through the public spitrit and porsonal kindnoss of Mr. Wattoraon, of fho Loulsvillo Courier-Journal, hus roturnod, having succossfully accomplished its mission and dis- ocoverod tho lost caricaturist, It will bo a rolief to the public to know that tho roports of Mr. Nast’s suddon domiso aro untrue, likowise the rumor that he had boon spirited nway by a band of foroclous Liboral brigands, hosded by Onrls Behurz, and that thoy woro holding him prisoner in tho oxpootation of rocolving rangom from tho Mosers.

Finally, Mr. Atkinaon oxplained that ho was not making his argumont in favor of tho capitalists, who could always tako carajot thomsolves, but of tho working clasecs, whoso intorosts, ho thought, would be injured by the proposed Stato ownership. Tho public will find hero an ablo progentmont of both sides of a question which is socond to mono other in fmportanco to tho American poople, and furthor disoussion of Mr. Adama' propoaition will bo awaited with intoreat.

Tho Con- grossmon did not; but Mr. Nast nssumes that thoy woro all gullty by putting in n femalo fig- uro, who, wo prosume, by .lor scales, typifios Justico, who is roquosting a- crowd of journal- iats to throw stoaos nt thorn if they thomsclves aro guiltless of the tromondous offenso of bo- traying theircountry. Wo have no’ faith in thot ‘woman in the midst, Bhe is & hard-looking cus~ tomer, ‘s wirago, and noisy blatherskite, who boars every, indication of having been employed bythat orywd of innocont lambs bohind her to cover up, their thofts by screaming stop thiof at ‘tho nowspapor mon. Wo believe that sho 18 'no better than eho should be. Wa bolieve, if she wore sosrched, that under hor volumi nous skirts would bo found plenty of Crodit : Mobilior stocks, bonds, and dividonds. Ono of the questions before tho Unitod Statos Sonato, in apocisl sousion, is thasase of Alox- auder :Caldwell, Bonator from “Kansas, Mr. Caldwall was olected Svnator by tho Loglslaturo of Xunsas in Janusry, 1871, for the term bogin- ning on tho 4th of March following. Ho took his sont in March, 1871, aud in Jannary, 1873, the Loglelature of Kanses investignted tho trans- actions attending that olection, aud such was tho siount of corruption oxposed_ that coplos of tho ovidenca woro ordorad to be laid beforo tho Sonnto. Tho latter body roferred the matter to o Committeo in tho spring of 1872, but the Committee postponod it until after the clection. Ently in the lato scssion evidenco was takan, and on Feb, 17, 1879, & roport waa mada. Tho roport of the Committeo and tha evidenr.o maka nprinted volume of 472 pagos. Tho,evidonco i6 disguating in tho oxtent of tha corruption it dincloses. It hows that tho clection of Unitod Statos Sonator in thot Btato hns always Joen ro- garded ag o matkor of purchoss and v ale,—tho man who carries off tho prize boing t¥,0 ono who poys tho most for it. Tt npponrs 4 o Caldwell milos within tho Biate could not overcome the presont evilgof transportation, Lo Lolds that the Biate corporation may extend ita control by Taeans of loases through Truateos, just as tho Pounsylvania Company hiad oxtonded its juris« diction, though its chartor lmits ita powarsta, the domain of tho Btato of Pennsylvanis. Dujt should this Btsto investment prove toboun- profitable snd -becomo w tax on tho poople ?
