They beliovo the bill unconstitutional and likoly to paralyzo the interests of the Stato if strictly enforced. Its practical result, thoy 88y, will be, not to provent unjust discriminations and oxtortions in accordanco with ita ostonaible object, but to destroy competition and ralso the rates of freight. ———— Gen.

Mo is now 60 yenrs old. THE NEW RAILROAD LAW, ‘Wo print tho new Railroad law as passed by tho Loglalaturo. The polut in intorest and upon which thore has boou most controversy is tho cighth section. This section directs the Rail- road Commissionora to make out for cach of the railrond companios doing businoss in this Stato o schedulo of maximum rates of vharges for tho transportation of passongors and freight and oars on eanch of such railroads, and such sohedulo, in all Buits brought againet any such railrond corporation upon a chisrge of oxacting unreasonablo rates, shall bo deemed and takon a8 prima facie ovidonce that the ratos named theroin aro roasonable, But in the controvorsy botween the two Housos of the Legislaturo there was added to this a proviso that the schedules thus propared shall not be such prima facie ovidonco until the 15th day day of Jauuary, 1874, Tho object of this was to furnish an oxcuso for anothor sessionof the Logislaturo noxt wintor. At that scssion, tho Logislaturo will, bogin with tho wholo matter nfresh, and undertake to framo a schedulo of rates of its own. Intho meantimo, the previous not of the Legislaturo stands repesled, and tho cighth soctlon of the now one is suspendod in- dofinitely. Tho bill practloally, thorofora, sban- dons the theory that tho Logislature, diroctly or indiroctly, ean prescribo ratos for transportation, and places the whole question, whero it alono can rost, upon the judicial dotormination of what is and what is not a ressonablo rate. 'The rail- ronds aro ontitlod to reasonablo compensation ; thia they connot bs denied by any act of the Legielature. Tho public can bo compolled to pay reasonablo compensation, and no act of tho Leg- islaturo can suthorizo tho collection of any higher ratos. The act contains a numbor of most oxcellent provisions, embodying what was known a8 the Donabuo bill, and for all practical purposes is ng strong if not stronger than if tho eighth section waa in force. Thero is no gricy- anco which gan be imagined in the matter of overcharging or discrimination which cannot bo vroseouted es vigorously under tho lawas it now stands as it could bo if there was a schedulo of rates to b charged on each road sot forth in dotail. ‘The porsons who have sach an abiding faith in the virluo of o dealo of maxicium rates for, transportation will, probally, whon they exam- ino tho mattor more carefully, discovor, as tho Logisluture has done, how difficult it s to provide short outs to legal results whon . thore is a plain nnd straight road alroady oxisting. Tho firet difficulty conslets in tho impossibility of waking o uniform rato,—ono that is applcable to all roads and parts of ronds, Sucha rate, it Iargoe enough to include all roads, would give cortain ronds moro than thoy now exact, If the uniform rate bo roducod #o as ‘to afford n ren- sonable compensation to the roads do- ing & largo business, it would causo the other and perhaps, nccording to thoir longth, the larger part of thom to muspond business, It is not to tho intorest of this Btato, | nor any portion of its poople, to stop tho opora- tions of any railway, Tostop the running of traing on any road would be to cut off the people doing business along that routo from faoilities for which thoy have already oxponded largo sums ond contracted large dobts. Tho only thing loft in to classify the railroad compa- niea by somo modo, or to consldor tho clrcum- stancos of onch company soparately, and enact a schedulo of rates for oach olass or onch road. This, however, admits thnl the quoestion of what is a reasonmable charge can ouly b detormined sccording to tho facts of emch cago, and, that . conceded, it loaves tho mattor precisely whore it was beforo the schodules wero enncted, ‘Thio law, more- over, must of nocessity loave the queation of the rongonablences of tho ratos charged by tho xailrond, a8 woll as the reasonablonoss of thoso establishod by tho Btate, to bo detormined by the court and jury, who aro to bo govorned in thuir declsion by tho ovidenco which may bo offorod. After all, it will bo scen that (ho’nntubllahmnul of vaten by the Leglalaturo fulls to adyanco tho oago in tho loast, thoouly question Lolng tho ono of rensonablo compensation having to bo dotorminod at last by the actunl faots. The oclesvification of roads and the adoption of difforent rates on oach road lag the logal offcot, 5o far as it can liave any offoot, to compol persons reslding and dolng busineus on ono road to pay moro for transportation than thelr neighbora twonty milos distant pay for like servico on gomo other road, and this dis- crimination haa the sanotion of tho Logiglature, That part of the law which is oporative providen tho machinery for the redrons of all griovances, whother in unjust oxactions of raton or of disorimiuations. It provides romodles and ponaltios suitablo for the wrongs, and falrly and squaroly follows tho diroction given in the opin- ton of the Bupromo Court, loaving tho rallronds 10 altornativo but to comply with tho universal domand, or eatlsfy & court and jury that.n wrong hag boon dono or attempted. " —— ‘A UABE DECIDED. Towa has afforded anothor warning to tho rail- roada in rogard to tho troatment which thoy may oxpoct at the hnudsof a jury if thoy porsist in excosslvo oliargos. A caso of ovorcharging has just beon docidod ngalnst tho Chicago & Northwontorn Railrond, nt Marshalltown. It hns boon ponding, in one shapo or another, sinco 1809, Tho overcharge that was mado wns but $1.70 in tho firat inatanco, but tho railroad raan- ngors woro obstinate, and contosted tho caso at ovory point. At tho firat torm, tho dopositions, which tho rond had been &t consld- orablo cost to collect, woro thrown out on amccount of Informalltios, At tho next torm, tho ontiro costs of the suit wore thrown upon the rallrond becnuso it was not rendy for trinl. Atanother term, the vordict of the jury was got aside, bocause it was bolloved that tho attorney for the railroad had tampored with tho jury. The Bupromo Court of Towa suatained tho position, and tho cnso came up for s now trial. At last, & jury has brought ip n ver- | dict ngaingt the rond, snd fined it $200, tho Inrgost ponalty allowoed by the law. Tho rosult b thiscaso illustratos & principlo: Whatovor may bo tho orror of Lioglelatures in doaling with rallroad monopolies, tho abuscs of which tho pooplo complain will bo sure to be punished. If proso- cutod under o statute, there may bo modorate flues, ag in the rocont Towa caso, It success- fully prosccuted under the common' law, the romody is of a broader charactor, for the prac- tico which is found contrary to lnw will bo aum- marily stopped by the courts on the vordict of juries, Btatutes aro thusapt to bo finally in the intorosts of the monopolists, but the sbusos of overcharging and discriminating unjusily will bo roached in ono way or another, and thoy willat last bo broken down. THE REVIVAL OF AN OLD PROPOSITION, A resolution of Congress, passod Sopt. 25, 1789, submitted to the Statos, for ratification, twelve amendments to tho Constitution of the TUnited Btates, ton of which wore ratified and two rejected. Tho ralified ameudments are thoso which form tho first ton articlos of amend- ment to tho Constitution ae it now stands, Tho other two failod to recoive the nocessary ratifica- tion from throo-fourths of tho States. Ono of tho proposed amondinonts not ratifled wag as follows: “No law varying the compensation for worvices of Spnators and Ropresentatives shnll tako effcct until an election -of Roprosontatives shall have intervened.” Ifad this amondment boon ratificd and bo- come w part of the Constitution, it would have been impossible not only fox the late Congress to voto itaglf additionnl pay for past sorvicos, but also for the membero to avail’ thomsclves of any increased salary until & Con-~ gressional eloction should oceur. Thore will bo no differenco of opinion on tho fsob that tho amondment would have boen nnational blessing, and would have protectod the conntry at loast from tho humiligting knowledge that we had a Congresa willing to porpotrate so conopleuous o fraud as that known as the * Salary-Grab.” It is probably in this view of the mattor that tho Ohio Legislature has talen up tho old nmpndment, proposed In 1789, with the purpose of ratifying it now and securing throo-fourtha of tho States to join it in the project. This suggests tho question wliother n proposed amendment which onco fails to recaive the nocosuary ratification can bo taken up at any subsequont dato, aftor tho numbor of States has been matorially incrensed, and approved without again golng through tho preliminaries proseribod by the Constitution for submitting constitutional smondmonts. Those who boliove that this may bo doue ground their belief upon tho failure of tho Constitution to proscribe any limit of time within which the smondments must bo ratifled or bo rogarded as dofoated, Tho Constitution provides two ways in which awmendments moy bo submitted: 1. By o two-thirds volo of both IHouses of Congress. 2. Upon applioation of two-thirds of the wseveral Statos, Congross may call & Convention for proposing amendmonis. It is thon provided thnt the proposed nmendments shall becomo a part of the Constitution “when ratified by thoe Logislatures of threc-fourths of tho sevoral Btatos, or by conventions in throo-fourths thereof, as tho ono or the other modo of ratifica~ tion may be proposed by the Congress.” This is all that tho Constitution has to say on tho sub- Ject of amondments. It iu held by somo porsons, therofore, that an smondmont once submittod according to the constitutional provisions may Do ratifiod st any time, and that it iu propor and desirable to take up the proposed asmendment of 1780 in regurd to salavies and ratifyit. Whilo this amendment, or s sinilar smondment, would bo highly dosirablo, thers aro mauny circum- stancos which militate against tho proposed mothod of seouring it : 1. It fo vory ovidont that tho framors of the Constitution desired to guard against rash sug- goutions for nmonding tho Constitution by tho proliminary roquiromonta which they prescribed, It would be obviously contrary to tho spirit of tho Constitution to tako an advantage of o pal- pablo omission to fix nlimit of thme for ratifi-' cation in order to sccuro an amondmont nearly ono hundred years after it was proposed, by a voto of thirty-soven States, when it waa oftored to and rejected by thirtoon Btatos, unloss the proposed amondment should again come bofore tho Btates in the manuor- duly prescribod. To do 8o would bo to kot n dangerous procedont of ignoring tho purpose of the Constitution to ro- striol amendmonts to the most thorough exproy- sion of thie paople in favor of thom. 2, Tho amoudment in question has not boen simply hanging on, waiting for action. 8ix of tho Blatos ratifled it, and tho others refused to ratify it. 'Iho Btates to whom it wan proposed toolk action upon it, and it fuiled, by such action, to bacomo a part of the Coustitutlon. In the easo of & Lill boforo tho Leglulatire, a dofeat of this kind would roquire the proposition to again go through tho usual forms of presontmont be- foro it could be passed. An amendmont to the Constitution of tho UnitedBtales should cortaln~ 1y racelvo at loast tho sawe auount of attention and enjoy the samo oxtont of wafoguards ag n bill in tho Legislaturoe, 8. 'T'ho oustom in regard to amondments aub- mitted for ratifloation has boen to dispoyo of thom, eithor favorably or unfavorably, at tho wossions of Loglulatures immodiately succeeding tho Congresstonal rosolutions submitting thom. In tho caso of tho first ten amendmonts, the ratifioations wore all mado within tiwo yoars of | $ho rogolution proposing thom. The Elovonth Artiolo of Amendment wae proposod Maroh 5, 1704, and ita ratification was doolared on tho 8th of January, 1708, The Twolfth Amondment waa submittod by o resolution of Congross presod Deoc. 12, 1803; it was ratifiod by throe-fourths of tho Btates in 1804, and the ratification was pro- claimod on tho 25Lh of Beptembor of that year, Oongross proposcd the ‘Thirtoonth Amoudmont Fob. 1,1805, and tho Bocrotary of Btato pro- olaimod tho ratifieation in Decomber of the samo yoar. Tho Fourtoonth Amendmont waa ratified within two yoars, and the Fiftconth Amendmont within n yoar, from tho timo whon they woro submittod by Congross. To take up and ratify & proposod amendmont of 1780, at this timo, ‘would, thorefore, bo contrary to all procodent. ‘Thore is, moreovor, no occaslon for the ox- coptional sction proposed in the Ohlo Loglela- turo in rogard to tho Balary Amondment, Thoro will bo amplo .timo to submit & new amondmont covering this gronnd bofore Congress will daro to disturb tho existing enlarios of its mombors again, The poople meed not dopond upon Congress for tho noces- sary rosolution proposing it, as the Constitu- tion affords thom tho moansof bringing it to Congrosstonal attontion, 8o ng to loave no dis~ cretion with Congross itsolf. Thla monsuro, ‘Thowaovor, will not be nocossary ; Congresa will not dare to rosiat & domand from the people to submit an smendmont restricting their power to rogulato thoir own eslarios aftor the popular in- dignation which has awaited upon their lato nction, TFor thia roagon, the Ohlo proposition {8 unncocssury, svd will mearcely be able to command genoral co-oporation. In tho moantimo, the pooplo can assert thelr powers in o much moro effoctive way, If thoy will, aa thoy can, punish overy mombor of the 1ast Gongross who voted for the Salary-Grab, and overy ono who took tho back pay, by do- claring bLis Congressional servicea at an end at tho oxpiration of his present torm, thero would bo little danger of a repetition of tho fraud within tha lifetime of any living poli- tician, If oll partics and all journals would unito upon this courso, it would be neatlyas ef- foctunl n8 o constitutional amendment. Tho amendmont might bo suppliod in addition thoro- to, but it should take the conxso duly prosoribod in thoe Constitution, THE VIENNA EXPOSITION, “Tho Vienna Exposition hay at longth boon for~ mally insugurated by the Emperor of Austria, with o coromony tho simplicity of which is its ohiof charm.

Many of tho journals that hinve beon steadily opposod to tha: Govern- mont abgorption of tho telegraph liues of this country, and are opposod to it still, favor o pro- Ject by which tho Governments of England and tho United Btates shall purchaso tho presont cables, or lay now cablos aa tholr own property. This project is spoken of as differing from tho Governmont control of tho telograph Lusiness genorally, bocauso of tho immonso and con- atantly-incroasing outlay which both Govorn- menta meko in poaying ‘for cable dis- patchios ot cnormous rates, It has boon discovored that the chartor of the New York, Nowfoundland & London Tolograph Company contains s provision by which tho Govornmont of tho Colony of Nowfoundlandhas tho right to purchaso the linoat a valuation at the end of tho first twonty yoars, Tho firat twenty years expiro in 1876, and tho eablo, at actual val- uation,would bo good investment. Tho revivalof this priviloge and the public prossure for the Gov- ernmont to tako ndvantage of it esused o dopros- pion in the valuo of cable stook, which indlcates thatit has tho force claimed for it. There s0oma to bo no doubt that the Cable Company s ontstrotched its hold upon the poople, snd that thero should be somo pdnnmont relief from the abuses of tho monoply which the Com- pany enjoys. . ——— Thoso pooplo who have such tender sympa-- thios for Indiane, espocially for Modocs, are just now secking to exculpato thom for their treach- orous murder of Gon. Canby, by the assortion that thoy learnod tholr troachory of tho whites, ono Capt. Wright, some years since, having mur- dored n party of Modocs, while having an intor- view with thom under protense of frioudship, The fucta in tho cnse, however,.afford little comfort for tho sentimentolists, Tho Modocs, two days boforo they wero killed, had massacred o party of omigrants in cold blood. Capt. ‘Wright overtook them about sundown, aud tho Modocs proposed to Lold = council of poaco, to which ho agreod in good faith, the council to be lheld in the morning, During the night, howover, one of Lhis soouts crawledinto the Modoo camp and ovor- hoard tho Ohiofs planning to attack suddenly tho ‘whites, aftor thoy had taken scatsin tho counoil, and murder thom. Oapt. Wright antlcipated them, attacked thom bofore daylight, and happily disposed of them. 8o much for the Modoc yarn, The ides of an Indian's learning treachery of tlie whites is too absurd to bo entertained by any one who is not.a blockhond. Those who pin their faith to such a story should road tho narratives of tho maesacre ot Dotroft and Fort Mackinao, and the Fort Dearborn slaughter in Chicago, Railway Progress on the Paclfic Coast. Railway progress on the Pacific Const has kept paco with that in tho States enat of tho Racky Mountains, In 1865, thoro wero perhaps 160 miles of railway in California; one from San Francisco to Ban Joso; Sacramento to Shinglo Bprings; Bacramonto to Oroville; and'Bacra~ monto to Clipper Gap., Tho last-named was part of tho Contral Paciflo. The line from San Fran- clsco to San Joso, about fitty miles, was the longeat road in tlo State. 4 The Contral Pacific was completed on the 10th of May, 1869, to Ogden, Utah, & distanca of 881 miles, Of this, 108 miles are in tho Btate of California. This Company now owns noarly, if noto quito, all the railroads in tho Btato, The Orogon Division is complsted to Cottonwood Bridge, noarly to the head of the Bacramento Valley, some 200 miles north of Sacramonto. * It is intonded to conncot with tho road from Oro- gon, and is to bo pushod vigorously forward during the presont season, Tho branch in tho diroction of Visalin southward I8 fin- ished for a distanco of 167 milen, and it may bo oxtonded. It is by this road that tho dry plaius south of Btockton are now crossod by passongers bound for the Mariposa grove of Big Trees and tho Yosemite Valloy. Tho dust of that plin was somothing awful to bo endured when stirred up by n six-horse coach, ns thono can tes- tify who have boon forced to breathe it for hours. Without somo such controlling motive 88 o visit totho Yosomito, no one would bo tompt- od to live for o day Inita suffocating clouds of mpalpable powdor, Of course, all this is now changed by tho cars carofully protcotod sgainst it. Tho Ban Joso line ia oxtonded south to Gil- roy, and to o considerablo distauco boyond that point. Wounro not sure whether this or the Vi- sulia branch will form a part of the Southern Pa. ciflo. It is finiahod, porhaps, 100 milos south of Ban Franclsco, An important rond connects Szoramonto with Vallojo on the north sido of tho Bay of Ban Fran- cigco, from which stoamors in little more than an Lour tako passongors to tho city, It has a branch to Callestoga. A rond from Petaluma ox- touds mnorth to Cloverdale, 00 milea from Bau Franclsco. Tho total of all these roads would give California some 800 miles of com- pleted railway, and it may be that an acourate statomont would mako a very considernble addi- tlon to tho number, The list shows a most grat- itying progross in rallway buildivg in eight yenrs, ond the influenco they are oxerting on tho pros- pority of tho Btate fs docided and hoalthy, | In 1865, thoro wero bt 21 miles of raflway fn Orogon and Washington Territorios—5 miles around tho Cascados of tho Columbis, and 16 miles cround tho Dalles. Theso wora builk to make & thoroughfare botweon Portland aud tho rich mining distriots of Idsho, and woro run in conncotion with steamers on the Columbia. Now, the Oregon & Californis s completo from Portland south 200 milos to Roncborg, and within 84 miles of the Californin Btato lino, Xt will undoubtedly meot tho line from California by or before tho 1at of January, 1875, Evon the Central Paciflo ltaolf oan scarcoly hiow any finor sconery among tho Humboldt River mountains, or in orossing tho Blorra Nevads range, (han tho tourlst will enjoy botwoon Bacramonto and Portland, Theroad will wind around throngh oxquisltely boautifnl valleys aud in sight of Bhasts, Hood, rud othor snow-orowned moune taing, altording tho travoler somo of tho most charming as woll aa tho most sublimo views that can Lo found anywhore upon tho Pacific Conet, ‘Whoovor hss traveled from Californin to Oregon by stago-conch will almost rogrot that those ‘who como aftor him are {o bo whirled through this country, so wondorful in mountain and valloy, on a railway train.
