st ; THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER .17, 187 RAILROAD NEWS. Tho Scalpers Preparing for a Raid on the General Managers Completion of the Grand Rapids & Indinng Railwag. Gov. Bagley, of Michigan, Now Inspecting the Worlk. Chiongo asu Grain-Shipping Point--An Interesting Statement. A paragraph appeared in Tne Triunk day boforo yoatorday to tho offoct that the Gonersl Roilway and Bteamsnip Ticket Agents of Now York hold & mecting on the 11th inst., when Measra. 8wan, Burnham, and Bascom werd ap- poloted a committoo to roprosont tbe Assocla- tion at tho Convention of Goneral Rallroad Man- agorg, to bo hold in this city on tho 10th of this month, Those self-atyled Goporal Railway and Btoambont Ticket Ageuts are not the Gonoral Railroad Ticket Agents who have charge of the Ticket Dopartments of railrond companics, nor aro they employed by any stesmship compruy whatover. Thoso mon stylo thomsclves Gon- eral Ticket Agonts, and they are well known to the public na Sealpors, beeanse of thoir expe- rionco in scalping thuso unfortunate travelors who aro induced by thelr cloquonce to buy their tickots from them; but tho traveling public aro not tho only victims; tho railrond companies thomeolven aro rmado to **leavo balr,” and still tho Jatter have thus far done nothing to stop this nefarioun busincss, but havo rather counte~ manced it by allowing these mon a cortnin com-' mission. For examplo: for n ticket sold from Chiongo to Now York o commission of $2,.and to Bt. Louis of 81, ispaid. Thoso aro the estab- lished rates, but thore are companies which,. for the purpose of eolling moro tickots than othors, pey commissions from $2 to &6 to oither Now York or 8t, Louis, Still thoso Scalpers are not satisflod with recelving thess high commiesions. Most of tho tlckets thoy el are ‘““cut,” or or coupon, tickets, which they buy for a triflo from travelera who had bouglt tickots say from 8t. Louis to New Yorlk, but stopped over in this city, and had no furthor use for the coupons from horo to New York, although the railroad companics would pay the full value for them if presented at thair general officos, A ticket from 8t. Louis to Now York, for example, costs §27. From Ohicago to Now York, $22. The faro from this city to Bt, Louls is $11. Thus these scalp- ors find it to their advantage to buy their tickets for Now York in 8t. Louls, making thereby on each ticket the sum of §6, in addition to the $2 or §8 commission. Thoro are evon 8ome ways by which those men manage to make on a ticket from 8t Louia to Now York as much as 912 and 815, Almost all the newspanersin the country have Iately urged upon the railrond managers tho ne- cessity of broaking up this abuse by paying no moro commissions, and not solling any tickots excopt througl thoir regular salaried agonts, and o give tho public tho bonofit of tho commissions paid to acalpers, The railway managors, secing the necossity of this, have latoly taken decisive stops for abolishing tho commission business, and tho meoting of the 19th is for tho purposo | of finally doing away with it. The scaipers becoming alarmed at this state of affairs, bave formed tho above-named Gen- eral Ruilway and Bteamehip Ticket Agouts Ansociation for the purpose of taking unitedly euch stepa as would provent the consummation of this reform, and thorefors beld the meoting in New York, and appointed a committeo of threo to wait upon the managers and explain to them tho beantios of scalping, and show thom that it is thelr interost to pay them each §6,030 to $10,000 for commission every year. The raitroad companies have Iatoly curtailed their expenses by cutting down the salavies of their employed, Why not cut down tho salarios of thoso high-priced individuals, onoh of whom can afford to weara diamond pinas largoas a saucer, and drivo a span of fast horsos ? The Rallway Association of Amorics, com- posad & 1t fa of the most high-mindod aud dig- nifled gentlemen in the country, will undoubted- ly receive the delogation from the **Gonoral Railway and Bteamship Tioket Agonts' Asgocia- tion ™ with all the courteay due to such mon, and will politely tell thom that there is no further uee for their eloquence; that the reform must ‘be made now, because this is a good year for re- forms, THE GRAND RAPIDS & INDIANA RAILROAD, On Friday last Goy. Bagley, of Michigan, ac- companiod by a large number of influontial Tail- road men, started on s tour of inapection ovor_the mnewly comploted Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad. This ropd pene- trates thrnufi}x tho immenso pine region of Northern Michigan, and crosecs at right anglos tho Kalamezoo, Grand, Rouge, Tamnrac, Mus- kogon, Manisteo, and otber rivers, The corpo- ration known a8 the Grand Rapids & Indiana Tlailroad was formed from the consolidation -of Tour soveral companies in Indiana and Michigan, and ot prosont {s operated and controlled by the Continoptal Improvemont Company of Pitis- burgh, Vory littlo progress was wado in con- struction gruviuna to tho yorr1868, During that sear a bridge was build over Grand River, st Grand Raplds, and tho firat scction of tho road, from Grand Rapids to Cedar Springs, a distzuce of 20 miles, was_built and put into’ operation. Tho funds oqundnd by the Cumf‘nu,v in that year wore obtained npon bonds of tho city of Tort Wayno, Indiana, issued in aid of tho enterpriso, In tho spring of 1869, Col. Georgo Gray, attor- acy for the Company, visited tho Enstern sities for the purpose of securing menns to be used 1n carrying on the work of con- struction. IIo met Col. Beolt and ‘arrauged the {)mllmlnmea for the contract, which wus cn- ored into on the 1st day of October, 1809, with the Continental Improvement Gompany, where- by the construction of the road was assured, and its completion botwoon Fort Wayne aud Little Traverso Doy limited to the poriod within that anto and the 1st of Juuo, 1874, Tho compensn- tion to the Constraction Company was fixed at 5,000 atock, and #2000 bonds por milo of rond it might construct, and the land-grant_made by Congross pasees into its posscesion, Under tho provisions of this contract construction pro- greased rapidly, and the road was finished last Weok, six months bofore tho dalo ngroed upon for its complotion, This Company has also built, in conuection with the Grand Rapids & Indinna Road, & branch from Tyfo Lako to Lraverss City ; also a hranch known as the Cincinnati, Licimond & Forb Wayno Road. If Gov, Bagley, in bis inupection, finds that the rond is well blt, he will cortify that fact to the General Qovernmout, when the Comyany will como into possession of the ro- mainder of jta land-grant. It was contemplated to extend tho line from Littlo Travorso to the Biraits of Mackinaw ab an early day, but the existing financial troubles will undoubtedly dolny tho carrying out of this intontion. By an net of Congross, approved Juno 8, 1856, a grant of publio lauds was mudo to tho Stato of ]mulu?uu for the purpese of aiding in tho con- structfon of a_railroad from Graud Hapids to Littlo Traverso Bay, a distance of 180 miles, which contained 531,200 ores, all of which have been certifled to tho Company, By another act ©of Qongross, upproved Juuo 7, 1804, tho company Tocoived a liko grant of lnd for tho Southorn dlvision of tho road, from Grand Rapids to Fort ‘Wayno, o distance _of 140 miloes, and limited to ocontain an aroa of 531,200 acros, In both grants the quality allotted was alternato throo woctions on osch nldo of thoroad, in the firat inslanca the selection to bo made within & limit of fifteen, and the lattor withiu Lwenly miles, Tho total land grant is 1,160,082.0 aorcs, and from tho first 00,000 acres sold tho Company realized 81,907,009.44. Pho lands of the Company are altuated in the fant-doveloping Countios of Keut, Moantoalm, Nowsygo, Mecosts, Lnke, Osceola, Olare, Wex- ford, Misapuken, ' Grand Travorso, Kaliknsln, Antrim, aud Chatlorvoir, aud embraco overy wariety of soil and timber.

But (his bard, tangiblo fact, that, in actual loss undor last year's Octobor work and in the incroase probablo without the law, the law has cost the Illinols Contral, ina singlo month, not less than $150,000, and has lost to Chicago, in tho same brief time and from the same pingle source, an oqual amount of trado, will scrape gomo ecales from thio hitherto blind adyccatos of tho law 08 n blessing. And, if the application of. tho law to onaroad has cost thorond and loat Chicago this much in one month, jhow high will the arithmetio of all Chicago roads figure the joint cost and loss for one yoar? ¥ Chicago's profits on shipments from the coun- try districts of the Stato, and on shipmonts into the samo, mnot Lior an amount at lonst oqual to the froights on what sho gots and sends.

And, if this Inw multiplied by ono road gives a loss product of 25,600,000, how many rmillions of loss will it yield tho'State und State Interosts when multiplied by all ronds of similar magni tude and pituation within tho Btate?

Louis a vast amount of busi- nose that formerly sought Chicago over this route from a largo numbor uf Mississippi River towns ond tho southwest sections and branches of thetoad, _ A showing, if it woro possible, of tho nmount of old and noyw business thus divert- ed from travel over almost the full length of the road, would indicsto vory closcly how much moro than $100,000 would have been the Octo-. ber inereaso of that road but for the Btato law which stamps out prospority at avery cross-ronds and wator-highway within or bordering tho Btate and gives it 1o othicr States nud citios, It will not do to say that the law's reduction of froight-rates per milo is the cause of the diminished comparativo, ju- comos, Tho, law. has o increased tho ratos which it says tho roads must chargo at com- peting points that, if thoy could got their old cargoos, with tho natural incroase, at those poluts, thoy would probably all hail {he law oy made in thoir bohalf. Bul high rates at many of those points lock up their freight-houses and send their ageuts a-fishing. It is, as I under- stand it, high ratos fmposed upon tlio roads that thoy complain vf, not low rates; not what they aro, by the law, forcod to carry for, but their ju- ability, under the law, to got tho fraight to carry. 1s tho Btate secking the glory of martyrdom {0 ‘malico that it thus gathors np its railroads, its trade at all compotiug points, and the prosperity of it Motropolis, and falls upon the sword- Fuiut of » dostructive law ?

Judge Miilor's friends have been active, but it is the opinion of one of thom, from whom these points have boon ob- taiued, that ho does not occupy the prominent lnco he once held as ~to availability. jomo time ago, sn Alabama delogation waites on the Presidont to urge tho rppointmont of & BOUTHERN AN AS ABSOCIATE JUSTIGE, by moving up ove of tho presont Justices to tho hend of tlio Bonch, in order to supply & por- on familisr with tho local law and customs of the Bouth.

Of his confirmation there is no doubt. 'he Presidont has always approciated his com- mendation o8 tho most judicious and cloquent of any of the defonders of himeolf and his Ad- minlstration, His attaluments in the law are considered respectable Ly sl the Prosident’s coterlo, and by tho Prcsldent as eminont., The Inttor authorily sleo rasgnrfla Ooulin's services iu the Bonate ageinst Schurz and Sumner, aud his behavior in the last natlonal campaign, as of tho highest usefulnoss, Iis youth, personal nppoarance, natural vigor of mind, social status and eapacity for study are all pointa in his favor. He has made no mistakes in nomivating himself, nor in oxhorting any such porsonal pressuro as would mako his secoptance of the oflico undigni~ ficd.
