BUITB AT JEFFEREON, Spectal Dispateh to 7'he Clicago T'ribune, . Jereinsox, Wis., June 10,—1Lhe trial of Agent Pratt, for violation of tho Wisconsin Rutlway fnw, was yosumod yesterday morning, sndatw Inte hour last night the jury returned a verdiet of guilty. It is understood the jury were divid- ed on the fitt ballot, uv those in favor of an xequittal yielded. As already tolegraphed, the making of the jury-lst by ihe first oiicer we- locted for that purpose was objectod to, for the renson that he was himself compimnaut in o ko ecaso, nnd the inatigator of other prosccutions. In wpite of this prolest, the prosecution ingisted thot _ this oiticer s{mulrl malko the jury-list, The Justico did uot openly sauction this procceding, and vamed auothor ofticer ; but, after the jury woro empuncled, aud the_trial had commientod, it was discovered that that officer also had mado & complaint fox a like prosecution boforo the eamo Justice, upon which complaint the Justice had thon Iasued his warrant. Some six more like ontios are ponding before the same justite, m all of which the complumts have Doen made by the Governor's_Secrotary, tho yesident Constnbies, and tho Depucy-Shevifl, It is statod that these arreats are in port exoen- tion of a plan originated when the Governor's proclamntion was issued, to cause throughout tho State s mimuitaneous onslanght by the Ad- ministeation upon railway sgouts, 1tis claimed that tho busineas men of Jofferson, of Water- town, and other places, already foel that this lnw is dotrimental to their interests, aud they begin to surmise that, instend of tho roward that tho small politicinns hopod from it, these same poti- ticiang will find themselves injurod rather than henetited by their efforts to wid in its enforce- ment, TRIAL OF A RUIT AGAINST A TICKET AGENT. Spezial Dispateh to I'he Chicago Z'ribune, MapisoN, Wis,, Juno 1 'he_trial of the railroad cases in the Municipal Court here to- fuy has proved exceedingly interesting, and powe new points have voen brought out. Ou Justics Braloy’s docket to-day thiera wore thirteen smits agdinst agonts of the Chicago, Milwaakee & St. Panl and the Chicago & Northwestern Rallwaye, for illegal charges for sseenger-faves, Five suits against ngenws of Jio Inteer Company wora postponod & weelk on accouut of thnlmrhupnsmun of the attornoy for the detenso, The suit of the State against L. D. Stone, Ageut of tue Chicago, ~ Milwnukce & St Paul Itailread, on tho complaint of William Welch, was taken up, our young District-Attorney, Burr W, Jones, aud William Welch, uppearing for the ' prosocution, aud John W. Carey, attorney of the Milwaukeo Cowpany, and ex-Mayor Gregory, of this city, for tno defense. A jury of #ix mon was impan- oled. ‘Thore was n0 trouble i proving that more than 8 conts o mile was charged Mr. Welch tor o ticket in Junesville, May I2, but it was not shown that he rodo on that icket. TILE POINTS OF THE PROSECUTION. Tho prosecuticn clnimed that Lty ack was in violation of the pluin luw of the Btate, whica all were bound to obey, and that the pen which Ald, 8tone, though a very worthy citizen, had subjected himself for o misdemennor oy agout of the cm'&mmfinu. should be ouforved for the public good, The attornays for the de- Tenso decidedly overmastored tho champions of the laws, and ebly stated nnd maintuiuod the following grounds on_ which & verdict in'thoir favor was elaimed : Fisst, there way no such corporntion as the Mitwaulkocs & St. Paal Hail- roud Compnny, as named iu tho Potier law, the Company formorly benrimg that nawo having changed 1t to the Chicago, Milwaukeo & St, T'aul, Leb, 11, & mouth before the said law wus panred; hionco the Jaster Company was only ine cluded n the law aegulating imitoads, amoug companies in Cluas C, embraciug wll otlior rouds than those otherwise named, aud was outitled to charge 4 conts per mile, DISMIESAL ON TECHNICALITIES REFUSED. Judgo Braley was askod to dluniles tho wult on Lhis grouad, siuce it was ot his function to coutcet tho mintakes of the Legisluture, lio declined to do thus, however, admitting that it was o doubtiul queslion, but a disnussal would cut olf appenl, nud prevent the trial of the othor BUils aguinst tho Compuny here; and, though Atworney Curey blandly suggosted tiat, in a crim- inul prosecution hle this, the prisoner should havo the benefit of tho doubt, the Judge ruled thut the trinl should proceod. I'he second objeclion way, that the Pottor law was unconstitutional, for the reason that its classitication was speeial legislation, probibited by an amendment to the State Constitution In 1871, Dbemg arbitrary and purtinl, and not buned on any general principle, 1n \what was claimed tobe nuumendment of tuecharters of the ratilrouds in the State. Uhirdly, they clnimed that the acb was void as to the Milwaukes & Pralne du Chien Division of the Milwuukeo & St. Paul Railvoad, becauso : were derived by congolidation from & Prairio du Chien Railroad Com- pany, which Jutter wis the suceesdor of the Mil. wankea & Waukesha Iailrond Compuny, to which n chavter was granted in 1847 by the Torri- torial Logisiature, expresuly giving to the suid Commany tho right to fix 1ty tarills of charges for freight und passerigers, the charter boiug ox- tondod in 1548 to thio Mississippi.

Fourth, the law was unconstitutionnt for the rearon tuak it assimed the power to take private [roperty for public uses, without Just compentn- Hon, and in violation of the Constitution provid- ‘ngg that no porson shall bo deprived of hiy prop- srLy without due process of luw, nud that the only matior proved agninst the defondaut was that s had gold & ploce of ]»nxzebnm fzom his oftive lor n cortain prico, which was 10 offense unlers axplieitly declarod #o, sl the law uudur whicy the complaint was mado did not mako any limit. ation to the prico of wuch tickels, or make their mloa erime, T'hio Just point wan rather thin, but the others aro romniied an strong, and foreibly presoutad, M.

In each caso tho Nailrond Commis= siouers suo for $100,000, but the law specially provides that the fine shall not excoed 85,000 for ench conviction, und, even should a country Jury assess a targor sum, the railroad nolicitors Teel aspured tho higher Court would sot aside the judgment.
