The Reform was first Goprived of somo of its best featmies ab tho in- stance of crib-fed Congrossmen and then knocked on the head bacausa it amounted to nothing.

Line-offlcers in the army will bo rejoicod to hear that Mr. Logan bas falthfully alfidod by his promise of Lilling the Reductlon bill, Ho has loft Washington to attend the Springfleld Ropublican Convention, and tha Washington correspondonts say that ho has so arranged mattors that tho Committes on Military Affeirs, of which ho is Chairman, will not report the bitl, Agents of the Unlon P'aciflo and its direct Chi- sagoconnoctions hnve patehod up o truce.

[ 1t in sletod that Bonator Logauand Reprosont- ativa Farwoll aro en route to Springfleld to add their blessing to tho delivorances of the Repub- lican Convention on Wednesday, and that Boua- tor Logan will malko a few remarks on tho cur- roncy question. Wo trust tbo learned Sonator will not confine himeolf to the curroncy alto- gothor, but will favor the publio with his views on Third-Torm Politics, Third term for Grant ‘means no torm for Logan, and would render the good poople of McLeansboro, T, usterly discons solate. Noxt month tho railroad war will bo earried into fowa, The Northwestern shd Burlington Companics aro proparod to fight it out in that Stato 0 in Illinols and Wisconsin ; but thoro aro symptoms of wonknoss on thoe part of lho Rock Jsland Company.

Undor the seliool law of the Stato this office may be filled by o Iady, if the pooplo chooso to elact ono, Miss Willard is cortainly compotent to discharge tho dutlos of tho offics, and would probably give moaro vigilant attontion to them than the aver- sge wmalo candidate in politieal conventions.

Tho Etening Journal, roferring to the rosolu- tlon passed by the Morgan County Ropublican Convention, indorsing the course pursued by Senators Logan and Oglosby on tho currenoy qnostion, soys that the resolution might well read ns follows: Fexolved, That {ho Republican State Convention Is liereby reguestod to repudiat the national platform of the Ropublicen party for the suke of ploskiug * our Senatorn,” and to do 1hnt which would certalnly divide tho Rtopublican purty and cause it dofeut at {ho Novembor clection, Wo apprehond that the Journal has been s little too hesty in charactorizing the Morgan County regolution. It looks vory much as though tho Btate Convention would puss the same reso- lution, or somothing stronger, in which case the Journal would bo ¢committed o eomething, Tho best way is nover to havo any inflexiblo opinions or principlos until aftor tlio Convention, An important verdlet bas just beon rendered in the Now York Marino Court in thocase of H. B. Oluflin & Co. agninst the Western Union elograph Company. The amount of monoy involved is not large, boing but 8342, but the principle at issue wag an lnportant one. The plaintiffs sent the following diepatch to ono of thoir salesmen trav~ eling inthoBouth : « Atlaniic P, twolvo D, twelva one-half off trade," In tho courso of transmis- sion the D was changed to A, and, in conso- quonco, tho salesman disposed of goods at 14}¢ cents & yard which were 2 cente bighor at tho time, involving n losa to tho firm of $300. On the trin}, the ‘Celegrrph Company set up as o do- feuso that the dispatch, being in cyphor, should linve boen repented, under the conditions on the Company’s blanks, and that the salesman bim- golf was negligons in selling at o price Jowor than had beon Imown for years. Notwithstand- ing tho defonso, the verdict wes given ngninst tho Tolograph Company. The oflice-hioldors Leld theic Conaly Conven- tion yesterday, and nppointed delognatos Lo tho Btate Couvention which moets at Springficld to- morrow. Mr. Chartoy Xaw, on the partof tho Custom-Houee anad the loesl oxgan, managed tho affaiy ; nud, though thero wore no resolutions or avy othor nonsonse of that kind, it is sate to uny that tho Cook Connty dologatos aro thoroughly in sympnthy with Mr. Logan's finanelal policy, ‘Tho absenco of tho Gorman cloment was con- apicuous, aud sbout the only delogate of that nationnlity who could bo found was Mr. Gus Busso, who reprosents tho Post-Office, A rathor carious reproscntation was found for tho Sevonth Ward, to-wit: Mr, J.

AUTUMN-LEAVES, Tho troubles of tho salary-grabbors aro in- oroasing. We hovo from timo to time notlced tho voluntary rotiromont by some thirty or ruore monibors of Cougress who voted for .or took the **bnck pry.” Thoy aro dropping hore and thero liko sutumn-loaves, Theso gentlomen rend in tho fncos of thieir constituents the firm rosolve to trust no man who favored that sct. Like prudent mon, thoy havoe not waited to be flung out of the window; thoy bave quictly walked down tho stairs. It is to bo rogrotted that o fow of them have not boen equally wige. - Many of thom have faith that they Lave so distributed Tederal patronngo in their districts that they can pack the nominating gonventions, and force their respoctive pnrties to support thom, sal- ary-grab and all. To tho oxtent of socuring nominations thoy may bo suceossful, but of thoir fato boforo the pooplo this fall thore can bo no uncertainty, There is a striking contest of this kind in Minnesota, The Ropresontative from the Second District, Ar. Dunnoll, was clected two years ago by nearly 10,000 majority. He voted for tho grab threo times, votod agalnst it four times, dodged tho voto once, and then fook the money. Tho Ropublican majority in that district is sbout 10,000 ; but o universnl is tho objoction to Mr. Dunnoll that the St. Paul Press xomonstrates against Lis ronomination, holding that it would jeopardize the party. Mr. Donnell is warmly supported by the Fodoral of+ ficors, and will probably obtaln the nomination from a convention packed by them. But this ‘will not avail nt this timo. Tho Press says: 1t needs o argument to_show {lat fn the presont Qomoralized comlition of polltical particu—arising from tlie ubsonco of sharp fasucs of policy to nutago~ nizo thom—tha cohesivo forco of party organiz- tlon cannot ko doponded on to constraln reluckunt or indlfterent Republicans to vole for unpopular candi- dates, Tho fact might as well bo rocognized firet as Inst, and 1t hiad o great deal batter bo rocognized aud acted on beforo tho Republican District Conventions are held than afterward, that o Itepublican nomina- tion 15 no louger equivalont to an olection, oven Iu that Riepublican strongliold—the Firat District—which two sears ago gavo Mr. Dunnell nearly 10,000 majority, Tho samo papoer lays down in addition to the fact that party nominations are no longor equiva~ lont toan election, even in the strongoest dis- tricts, tho furthor statomont that * the Republi- can party is nob now in a condition to bo embar- rassod with candidates whose .records need so much explanation. . . The Republican party cannot afford to burden itself with the unfor- tunato projudicos apainst candidntes whose elec- tion depends on the popular vote.” This routoning s not only truo as rolates to Mioneto- tn, but elso toall the othor States. Last yoar Bonator Morton, who had returned his back pay, undortook to canvass Ohio in bebalf of the Re- publican Stato ticket, but such was the popular indignation against the salary-grabbors that, after making ono spooch, ho abandoned the un- dertaking. The peoploof Minnesots, Iowa, Mis- souri, Wisconslu, Illinols, Indiana, nnd Ohio will have to doal with Representatives who have touched these unclean spoils. In Minucsotn thoy wilthave to olect n Legislaturo that will choose o succossor to Sepator Ramsey, who voted throo times for the grab and toole the money. The #amo cago 8 presonted in Wisconsin, Thoro 18 no escaping this issus. Nor will the peoplo overlook tho conduct of thoso who, not having been mombers of the last Congress, o long and 80 persistently votod sgainst tho ropeal of tho inoronse. Nominativg conventions may bo pucked, but nomigations of salary-grabbors will this yeaf go hand in hand with defeat. This iy equally true of Democratic mombors ng of Republican, No matter what may be tho views of tho people on any other subjoct, upon this ouo of voting for or taking “Dback pay™ thoro is no division of opinion—public opinion demands tho retiremont of every men who reaped tho profit of that sbameful transpoion, It is a swholesome and rofreshing fact that politi- cul parties have roached that condition that thoy eannot afford to carry candidates whose publio record requires explamtion ; and it is oqually comforting to tho peoplo that nen who havo mado o rocord fint neods oxplanation and dofonse, particulnly lko tho rocord in this salary-grab, cannot be ro-oloctod even with tho 0id of party machinery. The best thing that thoso mon can do is to notify their friends at home that thoy are not enndidates for Salt River at {bo polls in November noxt, THE WISCONSIN LITIGATION, Wo have boforo us & pamphlet, by Mr. E, Wallcor, of thig oity, in ‘which ho discusses o question of no littlo intovest at the prosent time, viz: tho rights of stockholders of railroad compunics to thoir property uudor the laws of Wigconsin, Tho Attornoy-General of Wiscon- uin, it will bo Yomombored, recently gave itau hin opinion that tho railroad legislation of lust wintoria entitled to fmplicit obodlenco. Mr. Walker roviows the argument by which tho At tornoy-Gencrat reaches this conclusion, ‘[0 Constitution of the Btato of Wisconsin ro- sorvals Lo tho Legislature the power to alter or roponl all chartors granted to corporations. Buf, argues Mr, Walker, the logiulation in quostion relatos generally to railroad, oxpress, and tele- graph compauios, and doos not even attompt to altor or roporl any #pocial charter or goneral law suthorizing the organizetion of a corporation. Nelther the title nor the body of tho not shows any ovidonce on tho part of the Logisliturs to altor or amend thg chartors of auy railroad, ex- prosg, or tolograph company. Not, theroforo, to attor or ropoal the ohartors of theso corporations, but to doclare all xailways within the Btate publio highways, and thelr corporate property publio yproperty, 18 the effect of theso amots, 'The question thon is whother the Wisconein Legtaluturo lias the power to doclare tho rosds public highways, aud their property publio property, ‘Chere s o distinction botwoon corporate property and tho right of one Joyment of corporate franchinos, ‘Uho franchise is obtained from tho Btats, The proporty iy privato proporty, and vostod I the stocklholdory, not {n the artifictal corporation. “That tho roud: bed, rolling stock, fixtures, oto, aro privata proporty, tobo * owned, usod, and operated by tho Compauy, for tho oxclusive bonotit and pd= vantsgo of tho stooklolders,” wos deoldmd by tho Buprome Conrt of Wisconsin, fn Whitsey ve, Bhoboygan Rallrond, -25 Wis,, 182, . t'he right to ostalngs and proflia of the us0 of tho corporate proporty is & vontod right, protooted by tho Constitution.

Btato, 16 Whallnce, * Another objection to tho Wisconsm logielation urged by Mr. Walkor ig. that it impoucs burdons on ono class of corporations not placed upon another,— thoroforo that it 18 partial and unjust,—opon to tho objeotion of olass logislation. Thisit fg, sinco it nllowa cortain of tho ronds to enjoy an incomo whilo othera it docs mot. Mr. Walker ihus sums up his nrgument: Thatin all chartors granted to. rallrosd companfes Dy tho Terrilordal Loglalaturo thero aro no reuorved powers of sopeal or umendment, hnd therefore tho ranchites connot bo rovoked whoro property or ofhor ights bave becomo vested In tho corporation, Thiat the powor to alter or ropoal all spacial or gen- crmllawa of fucorporation ia roserved in the Legls- Inture, by the Constitution of 1848, sud applies to all ‘suchlaws of n subsequent date, but that tho exerclso of much power s limited to ‘tho franchises or priv- 1legen grunted by the Btato. That tho | proporty of rallrond companica of ovory Jiud and doscription i private, aud not public, and that tho right to own, use, and enfoy 1t 1a not dorived by apocal grant or privilego from the Stato, but fa an Inliorent right that follows il ownorsbip of all prop- erty. That the Loglslaturo moy recall tho right to actna o corporntion, but it can nofther conflseat tho property nor {ts valuo, its gaius, or fncome. That raflways ond railway proporty may bo con- trollod aud operated s suchs, by the owners or stock Lioldors, without posscssing any capectal grants, privi~ leges, or franchises from the State, ‘Chat such property boug private, and tho right. to 1ts ko for profit and gafn vested fu tho stockholdors, tho Loglslaturo lns not tho powor, undor tho Consti- tutlon, to cither destroy or impair such rights, ‘Thio proporty ituelf muy bo taken by tho Stato for public purposes, upon maling compensation, but thia ‘power does not oxtond to the profits resulting from it e, The Inw 18 olso repugnant to tho lottor and splrit of tho Constitution, inasmucts as 1t 3 not uniform in ita opplicstion to persons or classcs, And flually that tho act of March 11, 1874, does not 1n any mannor affeet the title of stockholders 0 ralle way property, and g far as 1t attempts to limit or c trol its Income, or prescribe arbitrary lariffu for its ‘use, it is unconatitutional snd vold, Mr, Walkor's position and that which we havo taken on the same subject aro substautislly alike, Wo think, howover, that the acts in ques. tion may Lo fairly looked upon as amondmonty. to the chartors of the companies .interested, nlthough thoy do not rocito that thoy are in- tonded to modify any chartor. This wo think, too, is tho construction the courts will put upon S, THE MOIETY BILL, L A8dl-Moioty bill pussed by the Honso has ‘Down wxppided in the Senato, and a8 pagsed by tho Iatter body providos : That tho thirty-ninth gection of tho nct of July 18, 1806, and the ssc- ond soction of the ach of March 2, 1807 (the Moioly acts), bo repenled, and all fnes, ponal- alties, and forfoitures, or share therocin, paid to informers and public oflicers, be sbolished, and . the proceeds thoreof shall horeafter bo paid into tho Troasury.
