Mirwauxee, Deo. &, 1873, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sin: In tho discussion of tho Ilinois Railrond Inw, you assumo it is tobes pro-rats froight low. Tho rnilrosds of tho State havo 8o con- slrued it, In the tariff mado by the Commis- sionors, thoy cortalnly have wade tho samo in- torprotution. 3 Tho lnw roguires that *the samo or n groator amount of toll ” shall not be charged for a lesgor thun for n_grenter distanco, Does this requiro thot the rates shall bo mado pro-rata as to tho dlstanco,—for this is tho intorpretation of the pro-rata principle. In transportation, the pro-rata principle fs a fallucy. It is not practicable, It roquires that double the rate shall bho charged for travsportation of froight 20 milos that is chorged for 10 miles, and doublo for 200 miles that i charged for 100 milos, on same quantity and classos, Now, will somo railrond-man, or will you, ploggo’ point to tho clause in' tho law that malkes this demand? I think it canuot be found. ir swtpflr car Lo tho rate established on o given clnag of froight from Chicago to Bt. Louis, tho Inw is satisfied if 1 cout por car leds be chargod to tho first station onst of Bt. Louts, and anothor cont less to tho noxt, and 80 OB, If the intention of tho law-makers fs to bo found in tho law, it cortainly was not their in- tonlion to mako n pro-ratn frolght-tarir law, AxTr-BoxoroLy.

And will” the poople indorso euch an oxponso of litigation for tho Stoto as this procoeding would involvo? Are we not taxed enough now ? I boliove tho rosds have done enough for Christianity, by Lolping to support its ministors all over tho country, to at loast ontitle them to slaud on ea fair o logal footing aa many of tho misora of tho world, who nover give ono cont for tho sprond and support of roligion. I am supposed to Lo tho very antithesis of lawyer ; but it doca strike my common souso thot a Inw ngninat peopla o corparations giving away their nonay, or its oquivalent sorvice, is a reat logal anomaly, and ought to bo & nullity, on’t you think tho Logislaturo will ropesl it ?

Bristow, to whom tho President will offer the position of Attorney-General, is a notive of Kentucky, and at prosont & rosidonc of Louisville. Ho lived fu Ifopkinavillo up to the broaking out of the war, and at its conclusion commenced tho Jlrnctlcu of law in this city.

The astuto Akorman was at that time Attornoy-Gonoral, and there was doubtloss o xoason why it was not desirablo to have him va- cate that position.
