', [ < The voto by Gov. Washburn, of Wisconsin, of the LaCrosso Railroad” Bridgo bill, at the rocont sepsion of the Legislature, not only prosents gomo vory atrong objoctions to the proposed ac- tion of tho Milwaukeo & 8t. Paul Railroad, but also prosonts that road inan attitude of cool indifferonco to tho suproma law of the land, and utter disregard of tho rights of tho Goneral Government, which, to eny tho lemst, is very extraordinary, ovon in thoso days of railroad impudonco. Aftor rociting “tho control which the National Governmont possesscs ovor naviga~ ‘blo rivers, and catablishing the fact that railrond companies have no right to bridgo them withont firat obtaining tho consont of Congross, tho Govs ornor examinos’ tho grounds upon which tlio Milwaukeo & 8t. Paul Railroad Company sought to ovorrido Congress by pushing n bill through the Logielaturs. On tho 1st of April, 1873, Congross authorlzod tho Milwaukeo & Bt. Paul Company to bridgo tho Mississippl nt somo point betwoen the County of LaCrosso, in Wisconsin, and the County of Touston, in Min: nosots, said bridge to bo “ built and located un- dor and subject to such rogulations for the se- curity of tho navigation of enid river na the Sac- rotary of War shall prescribo,” The, snthority of tho Bocretary of War over location and navi- gation was unquestioned. Tho Bocrotary, in pursuance of tho bill, appointed s Board of En- ginoors to oxamino and determine upon s proper sito nonr LaCrosso. Thoy did so and reported, but tho Railroad Company was not satieflod, and mado application to Congress to allow thom to bridgo the river at s point to be selocted by thom. Tho Congrossional Committee, however, was unanimous in rofusing tho npplica- tion, whoroupon the Company wont be- fore the Legislaturo, and" crowded o bill through allowing them to build a bridge not only whero thoy ploased, but also allowing them to put in their plers as they ploased. Tho Governor vetoed tha bill, and oven then, although it was o cloar violation of law which tho Com- pany proposed, tho Company came very near passing it ovor the voto. The boldnoss of this attompt to nullify a law of Congross plainly authorized by tho Constitution, and to set the Gonoral Government at doflance, is without proc- odent in tho history of corporations. How any momubor of tho Logislaturo could deliberatoly voto to pass it over the voto, unlous ho was fud- dled or bribed, is o mystery indeod. RAILWAY MANAGERS AND STOCKHOLDERS, | Tho occupation of & railrond managor just now innot a bed of rosos. Mo stands boetweon two fircs. Thoro Is the distant booming of tho poo- plo's cannon on tho one side, while on the other there is tho closor and moro offectivo practice of small arms in tho hauda of tho Directora and atockholdors, Mo is nominally rosponsiblo to the public, and sctually responsiblo to his om- ployors. His gonoral roputation doponds upon untistying tho domands of tlie publio; his tenura of ofico dopenda upon eatisfying the domands of the stockholdors. 3Ir. ITarris oxplained the caso oxactly when ho said at Springfleld that no- body could do him a groater favor than to mako up o tarlft for his rond which would yield & rossonablo profit. With the shippors on one sido Justly demanding a reduction in rates which they connot afford to pay, and the stock- holders on tho other side unronsonably insiating that they shall have their rogular dividends in bad years s well as good onos, tho railrond manager is in hot wator, suro. Tho stock of Westorn railroads I8 mainly owned by Eastorn and forolgn capitalists, Tho stock of the Burlington & Quincy and the Michi- gan Contral Roads is ownod in Now England; that of tho Illinois Contral in England and Iol- land; that of the Bt. Louia & Alton and the Rock Island Roads in Now York City and Stato, sud the Enst generally; and 8o on. By this it is monnt that tho controllug Intorosts of thoso ronds aro conterod in the placos mentioned; tho meotings of Dircotors sro hiold in distant citios tho mansgors of tho road ara appointod thore, and tho general polioy of tho managoment indi- cated, Thoro is no closo association botwoon tho ownors of tho railronds and tho patrons. Thelr Intorosts thus bocome antagonistlo, and thera aro no facilitios for o spoody ndjusiment of dif- foroncos by mutusl concosslons, Tho stock- holdors demand that tho managors whom they appoint shall pay them cortaln dividends, Tho implied, if not oxpross, instruction iy to make thom as largo a8 possiblo, but at leant s large ns tha roads have averaged under formor manngos ment. Tho managers undorstand porfoctly that thoy muet do this or loso tholr placos, *If you can’t oarn us 8 por cont,” sy the stockholdors, wo'll find somobody who can. Tho railroad ‘manager not ouly losos his place, but ho retiros’ in diswraca, Ifo goos out With tho reputation of 7 p baving boon unsudeossful in making the rond pay whero othors did; and, aa all othor corpora- tlona want mon who can make tho stock profita~ flattoring. Tho farmdrs. ‘complain that jury trinla aro too long, Whereln is Mr, Potors' plan likoly to holp thom in the mattor of timo? TIn Dblo, hio stands but n poor chiance of gottlng | ho not rologating thelr interoats to otornity ? anothor sltuatlon. If tho Iresidont of the Illinols Contral, for inatanco, reports to jtho stockholdors of bis rond tht timos aro hard, nud that the poople along tho lino cannot nftord to pay tho old ratos, thoy toll him thattho Chi- eago & Alton Tond, which runs through jtho | gamo kind of country, is muking ns much monoy a8 ovory and Mr. Nowoll muat do aa woll or got otit, If Mr. Blackatono, of tho Chicogo . & 'Al- ton, roports tho -samo, Lo la told that tho Bur- lington & Quiney is gotting tho old ratos, nud 8o must ho, It Mr. Walker, of tho Burlington & Quincy, forwards tho protosts of tho farzors, Lo is roforred to the profits of the Rook Iulqnfl' Road; and 80 on. As & rulo, tho managers of the varlous raflroads havo but small “peouniary in- torests in them, and aro,employed to manago thom with s singlo view to profits. Thoy oxor- ofso but littlo influence with tho stockholdors whon thoey place thomsolves in opposition to this goneral polioy. Tho controveray, thoraforo, lies betweon tho _public and those who own and control tho rail- ronds. This ciroumstance Is not caleulated to losson tho Indignation of tho publio ior to si- lenco tho demnnd for & reduction of rates. The cnpltalists of Now England, Now York, and Ea- ropo will do woll, thorefors, to take warning from the presont tone of public sontimont. : Tho nominal managers of tho railroads Liave borne tho hoat and burdon of tho day long enongh. Thelr fatlure to listen to the volco of the peoplo on tho lino of thoir ronds simply indicates that they aro not posscosod of tho power to chango tho polioy prosoribed by tho stockholders. If. thoy woro, and did not ueo that power, the con- cluslon would bo thnt theyaro dovoid of judgment and unablo to foroseo inevitablo consequencos.” 1t is woll known, on tho contrary, thit no class ombracos mord abllity or Dottor knowledgo of human naturo. This rensonablo demnand fa that tho railroads shall divide tho misfortunes of bad yoar with tlio farmers, It the railronds aro entitled to 8 or 10 por cont dividonds in. 00d yoars whon thefarmora are doiug woll, they oro certainly not ontitled to so much when the times arosobnd thatthe farmors can makd othing, ‘It Is not just nor propor that tho farmors should lose both tho intorest on thelr-| invostment and tho valuo of their Iabor, whilo tho railronds which they support aro earn- ing as much monoy 88 over. Farm- ors must live as woll as rallrosds. Raile way stockholders must rocognizo this. They aro reaponeiblo, aud 1t is upon thom that tho punishmont will fall whon it comos. If thoy ro- fuso to put down thoir ratos in o bnd yoar, tho | ratos will b put down in spito of thom, and porhaps kopt down in good yoars na woll as bid, Tho Eastorn and forolgn capitalists will find it profitablo iu tho end to givo tho managers of thoir ronds gronter Intitude. If thoy will not do this, thoy moy oxpect to have thoir property managed for thom in tho intoroats of the public, in which easo thoy will bo likely to find the bulk of tho burdons thrust upon them. MR. PETERS' * SHORT CUT ¥ FOR FARMERS, ‘The position which Ar. Milton J. Petors hos agsumed in the judicial contost in Judgo Law- ronce's districk, aud the alacrity with which lo hos gought to horald himsolf aa n champion of tho anti-railrond cause, renders it appropristo to inquire whoethor Mr. Potors is a safe loador ina crusado sgninst monopolies, and whothor the farmors aro likely to find o romody for tho ovils of which they complain by accopting tho policy which ho bas indicated s tho bost for them to follow. Mr. Potord proposies to have tho Logis- Iaturo fix arbitrary rates which railrond com-" panica shall bo allowed to chargefortho transpor- tation of freight without rogard to tho cost of such traneportation. This is tho firsb proposi- tion, As Mr. Potors ndmits that tho court of lnst resort, tho Bupreme Court of the Unitod Btatos, would probably doclare such & law uncon- stitutional and void, his socond proposition is to roverso the Supreme Court of tho Unitod States. And this by way of socuring the end in viow by n shortor cut than Judge Lawronco'n! .ot us 800 about this. Mr. Potors agsumes that tho Supreme Court of tho United Statos will rejoct any law fixing an arbitrary rato of clarges, becauso, ns ho allogos, Judges Bradley and Btrong wore ap- pointed in tho intorests of tho capitalists, and Judgos Swayno, Davis, and othors lonn that_ way aldo, and will always decido sgoinst tho pooplo! Tho Bupromo Judges, Lowover, ara_ appointed for lifo, so that there is no way for Blr. Potors to rovorso tho Court oxcopt by in- creasing it sufliciontly by now Judges, whoso' viows aro to bo known in advance, to vote down thoold ongs. Tho farmors have now tocon- sldor whotlior this unsafo, no to say immoral, proposition to sccaro olags decisions, will answer thoir purposo. What the farmors want is n spoody rolonso from tholr burdens. Thoy cannot afford to wait till doomsday for a settlo- mont. Ench yonr that closes and leaves them without ‘somo provision of reliof only adds.to thoir-burdens, and makes it still more difleutt to socure n rolense. 'The railrosds can’ afford to wait for tho Poters experiment, bocauso it would bo endless. In tho first place, Mr, Poters Las got to convinco Congress of tho nocossity for changlng tho number of Supremo Judgos, and, ag tho rest of tho United States Lins soma intorost in tho Buprome Oourt, ho may not find thia to bo an onsy and swiftly-performed task., Supposo that ho succoods in ear- rying this moneuro through, ho canmot look to Prosidont: Grant for any roliefs o8 ho himsclf alloges that tho Prosidont ap- pointed Judgos Bradley and Strong bocauto thoy woro projudiced in favor of capitalists, If this is the condition of the I'rosidont's mind, thoro is 10 likelihood that ho would add new Judges projudicod against onpitaliste—Dho boing Limsolf o capitalist. Mr. Potors Is, thoreforo, at n stand-gtill at tha vory outsot, for four yenrs to como, Whon Prosidont Grant rvotives from his oftico, whut aesuranco can Mr. Poters glve his clionta that tho noxt Prosidont will not bo of tho same mind nn Prosidont Grant; sud tho noxt ono, and tho noxt, and so on? DBut assumo that Prosidont Grant's successor is an anti-capitalist ; how is Mr. Patera to convince tho people of the Unitod Statos of tho nocossity of n chango in tho Buprome Court—and such achanga? There aro o thousaud and ono intorosts bo- sides tho agrioultural which would demand a henring upon this important question, And, whon it comos to that, tho Eastorn farmors would bo dead against tho chango, nnd the Bouthern plantors probably ogainst. A vast monjority of the peoplo would protest sgainst Mr. Potors' proposition to saduro favorable do- clslons, by adding now Judgos plodged boforo- Dand, direotly or by implication, to doeido in & partioular way, Tho proapoots, therofore, for tho complotion of Mr, Potors’ littlo fob, a0 not No. farmor would livo long enough to soo that plan brought to maturity, ‘¢ Intho placo of Mr. Potor's gnis fatuus,n plain, spoody, sonsiblo, and porfootly fonsibld, as woll ns conatitutioual, romedy is offored itho farmgrs in tho billsnow ponding, which atinct that tho rallroad corporations shall chergo only rongonnblo raos, and that tho courts nnd Jurion shall dotormine at the publle oxponso what con- stitutos rensonablo rates, This fa in accordanco both with law and equity. It proposes nothing “which cannot bo carriod outj nothing .which Bupromo Courts will not sustaln, 68 tho 16gal prinolplos tnyolvod in it have beon nffirm- ol " over and over sgaln from tho foudnl nges-to tho prosent- timo. Wo .Lo- ligvo that tho farmors, whon thoy look at this mattor consldoratoly and without pasalon, will soo that it promises them tho ‘only safo and sure romody, and will adopt it, nnd that they will doolino to follow Mr. Potors in Lis wild-gdoso chago, At tho samo timo, wo boliove that thoy cannot arrive at this- conclusion without don- tinuing tholr confidenco in Judge Lawronco, who hias shown thom tho only Inwful and at ‘the #amo timo oxpeditions way in which they can right tholr wrongs, By rojooting him, thoy may succood in olooting somebody to tho Bupromo Beneh who will docido as thoy. want him to on ono pointzand soll out to the highest bidder on ‘ovory othor point, This is hardly » thing they would think of doing in their seriona momun\h\s. 9 v LAKE FREIGHTS, .. oro fa now in storo {n Ohloago, waibin for tho opening- of lako navigation, ‘tho following stock of graln: 3 Ho, of bushela, Whent, 9,476,040 Corn, 080,596 Oata 1,T7,051 Tiyo.

Last sosson, while the rato wos lower than now, vossels earned their whole cost in threa months' timo, .

COanadisn- 'vossols may como to ‘Chicago and earry froight to Montroal, but the law prohibits their taking corn from hore to Buffalo, This ia part sod parcel of our “protoctive” systom. Canada has some soven thousand voescls of all kinds afloat, largo numbors of which could bo brought into Lako Michigan, and assist in oarrying oft tho surplus crop of the West at roasonable ratos. But the low probibits thom from so doing. Tho rosult is, that tho producera of corn in tho Weostern Statos have to pay monopoly prices on wator ag woll a8 on land. y Thoso s no groster abuse going than these’ old nayigation laws, which have beon discarded by all othior civilizod nations, Botoro the opon- ing of tho Stralts of Mackinaw, and during tho wholo soason, thoro will bo freight offering at Chicago, Milwaukoo, and Toledo sufilciont to omploy twice the numbor of vossels that will bo at thoso porta to carry it, while thers aro on Lako Ontario and tho 8t.

P ——— Tho intelligence that Gen. John 0. Fromont has boon condomned to five yonts' imprison- mont by & Fronch court on accountof his con- nootion with the nogotiation of tho Memphis & El Paso Tailrond bonda in Paris, isa rathor astounding denouement of o gigantio railrosd ontorprino from an American point of viow, Those who havo read tho charges mado againut him, howover, and who are familiar with tho Trench custom of doaling with speoulators, will not bo surprised at tho sentouco, if it follows 4 substantiation of the chargos that were brought against him, Intho courso of tho trial, M. lo Boron Gauldroo-Boillesu, who married s daughtor of Thomas II. Bonton, and who is consequontly o brother-in-Inw of Gen. Fro- mont, gavo an intorosting summary of the lat- tor's carcor. When Gon. Fromont married, said Boilloau, ““ho was n simplo Lioutonant without fortune, and was ready to plungo into any now onterpriso which promised n fair gain.” Tho witness wont on to stato that Fromont was un- guccoesful, and soon ran through with Benator Bonton's ostate. " It was probably on this ac- count that the Baron Gauldroe-Boilloau, through biowifo, had o claim ogainnt Fromont. Whun tho Baron went to Now York to sottlo this claim, Lo found, 50 ho enys, that Fromont kad spont much monoy on account of tho olection, and ho finally sottlod by ‘tho accoptauce of 766,000 francs in tho Momphia & ElPaso Railroad. Ono witvoss at the trial—Mr, Magnin—tostified that Gon, Fromont, Aufformann, Gauldrao-Boil- loau, Paradis, Crampon, Probst, and Lissignol hiad roceived is all 18,000,000 francs from tho Fronch pooplo on account of the bonds, though only four milos of the road had ever been built. It wes nlso ehown that much monoy had boen spent on nowspapors and Govornment officinls to socuro tho introduction of the bouds on the Paris Bourso, and to deceive tho peoplo. Tho dispatch states that the men who wore associated with Fromont woro sll sontencod to various torma of imprisoumont, and woro arrosted ontho gpot. Gon. Fromont was fiot thoro. The ronson which ho haa given tho American pooplo for not going to Franco waa, that hio could not got thero In timo to bo progont attho trial. ¢ An tho New York Financier, one of tho most ‘ereditablo financial publications of tho country, thore is publishing n serics of articles by Mr. David A. Wells, Tho iseuo of March 22 containg "\dlnuuaalon of the question of taxing mort~ gagos,—n question of cousidernblo consequonco in this State. Mr. Wolls considors it a strong illustration of tho oxtremo slownoss with which cconomio roforms mske Londway, ovon among intalligont porsons, that tho oxomption of mort- gagos from taxation is atill porsistently oppased in the 8tato of New-York. The prejudico which dofeats this oxemption procoods from tho iden that such oxomption would bo in favor of the monoy-londer and against the monoy-borrowor. Under the Inw of Now York, bonds and mort- gages aro to bo taxod at full and true valuo, Tho aggrogate rato of taxation in Now York is 8 par cont ; the rate of intorest allowed is 7 per cent. Theo result io, that tho holdor of a taxed mort- gago receives but 4 por cont for the nss of his monoy. As this is far below the markot valuo of tho monoy, monoy is not loaned upon bLond and mortgago oxcopt by thoso who take procan- tions to soouro not only tho 7 por cont, but an ndditionn] sum to cover the tax, and all othor contengoncics of loss.
