Special Disvateh to The Chicago Tribune, THE 8T, CROIX LAND-GRANT, Mapison, Wis,, March 4,—Te-day has beon the most oxciting dny of this session of the Logisla~ ture, It was vaguoly rumorod last ovoning that Gov. Taylor would voto the Bt. Croix land- grant. Aoting upon thoso rumors this morning, and it bolng tho last day for tho return of oxcet= tivo objections, tho Sonato, aftor a fiftoon-min- uto session, adjourned ostensibly to post thom- solves on tho matter of railroad tariffs, s bill for which was undor discussion in tho Assembly, but in fact to thwart tho Governor inhis voto moesage, should he desiro to send one in, Tho dny has passed, and all sorts of rumors have boen afloat, but up to this hour (7 o'clock) notbing dofluilo is known ss to tho Exceutive action, It is stated by somo, on what thoy say is rolinblo authority, that ho had his veto message writton last ovening, and that one of his objections was that ho was opposed to tho granting of lands to railrond "companies, olaiming that the grant should rovert to tho Gonernl Govornmont, and be put on tho markot, 80 that original sottlors can possoss it; and an~ othor that tho bill is vory loosely drawn, and that under its provisions "tho road can draw somo twonty miles more land for tho first twonty miles of rond constructed than thoy aro entitled to under the provisions of tho grant, A story s now atlont that the Governor 1ntonds to sign tho bill, It is claimod by some that tho action of the Senato was hnsly and uncalled for, and thint thoy overrenchod ‘thomsolves, s the Gov- prnor bad to tho end of business hours to-day in whicn to deeido as to_what coursc he woul ursuo, and that, should he decido on sending E: bis voto, it could be legally dong by handing it 1o tho presiding oflicor of tho Sonato boforo b o'clock p. m. It is, howover, the opinton of prominent lawyors that by adjourning the Ben- ato closed tho legislntive day, and, that the bill has become a law by limitntion, When the Sonate mot, Sonator Burchard (Re- form) suggested the wisdom of making haste slowly, and tho Sonate bill in rolation to rail- soads baving boon mado tho special order of gho morning, aud similar bills being the special ordorin the Assombly, for the sake of giving fenntors an opportunity to understand tho viows of the Aseombly, with the purpose of Larmoniz- ing tho action of both bodios, ho moved that tho flonate adjourn till 10 o'clock to-morrow morn- ing, which pravailed. ASSEMDLY, A rosolution was offered for final adjourn- ment on'the 10th inst. Mr, McCaul ealled up his motion to recounsider the indefinito postponement of the Sepate bill to secure to railrond om&loyes & compensation for injurics sustainad the morvico of thoir companies, Mr.. Cary vehemontly opposod tho bill, and claimod that tho State Journaland othor papers were trying to array tho two Houses aguinst each othor for politienl offect. A o- publican Scnato having Jmnued the bill, & Reform Assembly was dared to defoat it. Mr, Caswell denied that this was at all a polit- teal question. Tho bill was advoeated by Mr. McCGanl, and opposed by Mossrs. Silverthorn, Tubbard, Winons, and Sawyer, and the motion to reconsider was lost by 23'to 70. Two or three unimportant bills were passoed, and thon the Sonate resolutions relative to N TILE OENTRAL RAILWAY cortificates, and usking tho Becrotary of the In- terior to withlold the patents, camo up for ne- tion. M. Winans offered a Bubstituto, reciting in the proamble that Gov. Taylor had issuc pertificates to tho Contral Railway Company that four sections of road of tnenty miles ench had been comploted, aud that thero was & sufliciont amount of Iand remainmg on the route to sscure tho build- Ing of tho rond between Portage and Stovens Point, and dirceting the Governor not to issie any more certificates until the Portage & Slov- sng’ Poiut ltond is completed, and the Judiciary Committeo to roport & bill providing that no wore cortificates shall bo issued by the Gov- arnor t.11 sccwvity s given for the building of tho Portage Dranch. T'o Spealker ruled tho substituto out of order, a8 not gormane to the subject mattor of the ouginal resolution, and, though some discus- slon took place, no appeal frowm the decision of the Speaker was takou. Mz, Silverthorn offerod anothor substituto, re- citing the action of Gov. Tnylor in rogard to is- suing the certificatos, not assuming to decido whether the Company was entitled to the lunds ou said cortificates, and requesting the Secrotary of the Interior to withhold the patonts for the tands till the land-grant lino of rond shallbebuilt from Portago lo Stovens' Point, 08 roquired by tho laxisof 1866, or the right of the Compaay to smd Jands is decided on by somgrgompotont judicial authority. \ A motion to table this was lost by 16 to 49.

Forrest, tho Oity Olork, and Goorge ‘Von Hollon, City Colloetor. “T'ho Inttor bill statos that the Pullman Palace Oar Company was organized in 1867, with a capltal of $100,000, and liborty to incronso the snmo. Ita businoss is to manufacture a cortain class of cars and furnish them to railrond com- panics, the complainant only recelving com- pousation for furnishing sloeping or dining sc- commodations, and nothing for the carringo of tho passongors, Tho oara aro lok to the railrond companios for a torm of years, thoy to keep the oars In good running order, fuinish fucl and lights, eto., and to have tho general police man- ogoment of tho ear, whilo the complainant fur- nished the omployes on tho cars, and kopt” tho. Intorior in good order, The capital stock has been incroased to §4,000,000, for which amount bonds have beon issucd, In May last, complainant’s proporty consisted of cars and patont rights to the same, which wero in use by tho various contracts with the numorous railroad companios. In ad- dition theroto, it had threo condemnod cars, worth ©4,050, and somo oflico furniture and stores, worth $00,807,83,—making $95,217.83 as its total taxablo property. Ithnd been decldod by tho court, in a suit brought in 1872, thot this Company waa not taxablo on the cars lessed to the various railroad companies undor their pe- culiar contracts, but that the Companios wero responsible, Tho total cost of all the complain- ant’s cars used in tho Btato of Illinois was $454,- 786,70, 1t 18 claimed that the cars used out of tho Btate are taxed in tho othor Btates, In Moy or June, 1878, the Vice-Prosident of tho Company bad & conversation with tho City Assessor for Bouth Ohicago, whon Lo was told that tho Company's proporty was worth about $95,247.83, tho samo it was the yoar provious, No statomont, therofors, was ovor made or asked, In Novombor, 1873, how- over, tho complainant was astonished to lenrn that its property was rated at $1,000,000, bofore ovon tho State Bonrd hiad hind an opportunity to add its 68 per cont, The Asscsror claima that ho eont complainant a notico of itsduty in regard to roturns, but the Company donics having recotved the smmo, A statement was loft with Mr. Pull- man personally, but it is claimed that complain- ant in ita official capacity was ignorant thercof. Complninant alloges thut tho-city has no right to neacss capital stook or franchisos for a city tox ; thay the taxes on the stock and other assots wero not mndo separately; that the State Board was tho only body that could 'tax capital stack ; that tho city asscesment is ontirely vold; that tho Common Council have never eleotod to cortify to tho County Clork the amounts required to bo raised Dby iaxation or to “colloct tho city taxesinthe way provided for iu tho Gonoral Revenue law, whorefore it de- sires an injunction, In tho bill ngainst the county officors, the complainant slleges that it mado a return of $05,247.83 to tho County_Asscssor, which .was oonflimed,” Tho -Btate Doard, however, mads their customary raise of 68 por cont, and slao estimatad tho capital stock at $2,100,000.

As an additional argument he allcges that only one-third of the policies undor wlich lossos wore sustained, wore issied prior to the change In Jonuary, 1871, and that it would bo inoquitablo to nssoss’ tho hoidors of old stock on any more than the possibla defleiency that may oxist after all tho prosont assots have been divided, sud then onty to tho porsons holding policies beforo tho said surren- der in comparison with all others, 'I'ho wholo dericiency 18 unlil $413,203.01, which may bo ro- ducod by tho disputed cluim of §260,158.70 to $157,019.82.

Whon oo of these for 84,200 Eocnmo duo, he collected the money, pald ovor §4,000, aud pocketed tho $200 and about $100 interoat, Another amount of #1,000, which ho collected, he failed to accouut for altogethor. DMru, Potors thinks his kindunoss was not catirely disinterostod, aud his couduct decidedly repro- honeible, 8ho thoroforo brings suit for an ac- count, aud to compol Parker to disgoryo.
