VALIDITY OF RAILROAD LEGISLATION, pity FinyT CASE TO BE PASSED ON DY TAR sU- PREME COURT, tyhore io yet & probability that the United Btatos Suprome Court will bo called upon to fecide the railrond quoation this wintor. Last October the Court refused to advance tho Wis- ronein caso upon the docket, although the coun- gol both on behalf of tho State and the Railway Company urged tho importance of au immediate ficcision. Both parties woro anxious to have their 1ights dofined by tho ultimate authority, ‘Tho iasue is about to bo determined in a Min- nesota cass. It fgon tho docket for this term, and is likely to bo reached next tmonth, Tho tese is known og tho Winona & Bt Potor Railroad Company vs. Blake. It presenta squaroly for detormination the right of fhe Legislature of Minnesota to prorcribe arbi- trary rates of fare abd frolght for the railroads bf tint Stato, uo clauno to that offect being con= tnintd in tho Constitution whon the charters ranted, wTelleving it bad this absolute right, the Legis- Iaturo of Minnceota, in 1571, pnaacd a Tivw estab- lishing maximum rates of fare and freight for the varions railroads of the Btato, The com- antes declincd to conform their tariffs to tho Fer wueroupon Jou D, Blak, a morchant of Nochostor, Minn., resolved to test tho validity of tho law. For this purpose he shipped s small coneignmont of goods from Chicago to Nochos~ ter, At Winans tho Winona & St, Rotor Iail- road Company paid tho advance charges, and, on delivering the goods ot Muchester, do- mionded #1 a8 freight from Winona, Blake tondored G7 conts,—tha rato fixed by-law,—but,the Company refining todollver un- tilita pecified Bum was pail, suit waa com- monced in tho State District Court to recover posroesion of tho goods. A jury trinl was waly- ed, and, upon an agrced etato of facts, the ac- tion was tried by tho court, Judgment was given for tho Railway Company, wbereupon plain- tiff appoated to tho Suproins Court, where tho gedgmont of the Court below was reversed and Sue constitutionalty of tho lawaflirmed, The Company then tooican oppeal to the Unitod Btates Supreme Court. The caso wes entered fon tho dockot about two yeart go, and is ex- pected ta he in the February call. ‘Tho Winona & 8t. Peter Railroad being owned by tho Chicago & Northweatorn Rallwiy Com- ‘pany, that Company will prosecuts the appeal. ‘he Hoo. B. 0, Cook, General Solicitor, and Judge C.B, Lawrenco, of this city, will arena tho caso for tho Railway Company, On behalf of the appelice, the Attornoy-Geoneral of Minne- note will doubtless sppear, with associa! sounsel. = In viow of the fact that the lawin question was fornd inoperative, aud was ropealed by tho ono pascod last winter, which, in turn, 14 ox- pected to he thrown aside for a now statute, and tho farther consideration that tho half-a-dozen railway companies in tho Stato can hardly pay running oxncuees,—two boing hopolessly in tho bandsof Roccivers,—it is evident tuat the conunel for the Railway Company will be in position to rele a etrony plea against restrictive legts- tion, Flin oe THE WEST WISCONSIN. CHANGE OF OFFICES OF THE ROAD. A fow dayu ago it was announced that the West Wisconsin Itallwey Company had defaulted in the paymont of their interest. Lad tho bond- holdora pressed thoir claims, tho road wouid doubtless havo passed into tho hands of » Re- ceiver, Tho result Las boen simply a change of ollicors. Mr. I, 1. Porter, of tuscity, is sald to havo been olected President, and Col. J. I. Howo, of Kenosha, Vico-President and Genera! Man- ager. Tho subordinate ofticers of the Company romain unchanged. ‘The road, which is comparatively new, forma, in connection with the Clicago & Northwestern, & through line to St. Paul, It has 197 miles of main‘linc, with two branchos,—from Undson to Biiliwater, 3 miles, snd trom lindson to Richmond, 40 tiles tong,-—making o total of 240 milos. ‘he old oflicors also comprised tho North Wisconsin Railway Company, which is en- doavoring to build a tine from St. Croix Rivor or Take to Bayfold, on Lake Superior, in convider- ation of Fecolving tho major portion of the jond-grant. Tho terms of tho graut required tho building of 40 wiles of road within the past yonr, and 20 miley cach subsequent year nintil the wholo is completod. ‘vho completion of tho fitst 40 miles of road was to entitle the Company to 520 sections of Jand, sud for oach additional 20 miles of ral ayonts tor 200 sections of Jand were to bo sued. ‘Tbe Company complicd with the terms of the grant, Gov. Taylor accepted tha work, and sarod to isaue certificates, when Atty.don, itliams prouounced bis opinion that tho title to tha lands had roverted to tho [United Btutos by failure to comply with the provisions of its cession to tho Stato within tho tine epeci- fied, Itis thought probable that the efforts to ‘oonalruct the Iaud-grant rosd, aud tho cloud jfince raisad on the title to the lands, together ‘with the goneral stagnation in business aud the atringont enforcomont of the Potter law, om- ‘barrassed the lato ofiicora, and precipitated their wetiroment, ‘Tho new officers will givo strongth to the jenterprigo.

ATREL RAILS, One important result of the many costly im- provementa mado by tho leading railmay com- panios within tho past two yours is, that broken railg aro now comparatively rare. efore that time thoy were so common on all Western roada, daring the aovero Boason, as to render traveling extromely hazardous. One Chicago company two winters ago bad ovor 100 broltou rails during a single cold snap, Thoy ly bored under tho disadvantage of having to operate with worn-out iron rails, Tho fact was, the iron raila turned ont wora no inferior in quality that the largor companics could not af- ford te continue making renewal with iron. Economy obliged them to invest largely in steol, and itis ante to assume that already thair aub- sequent immunity from aceidonts caused by broken rails bas moro than compensated them for the additional expenso of procuring stecl. $0 ovidont ig the saving that, dospite tho stringency in monoy matters, tho railway com- panics have urrangod for extensive doliverics of atecl-rall noxt spring nud suminer, Some West- eri companies purposo laying over 10,000 tons of steel noxt season.

Groat progross las recontly boon made in steel manufacture, Thoro is now practically no choica botwean the ateol rails made in Europe and the Esstorn States and at our Westorn mills. The only fear on tho part of tho railroad men is, that the manufacturers, having learned how to turn outa splendid quality of stocl, will soon allow it to deteriorate, a8 thoy did in tho caso of fron ratla; for it ia well snown that the iron rolled out s dozen yoars ago was far more durable than tho present ordinary stu, BATLNOAD EARNINGS, ‘The earnings and exponses of the Central Pacitio Raitroad for 1874 wore os follows, No- yomber and Decombor boing partly catimate: isti | . | inercase\P.

Bueetal Dispatch te The Chicage Tribune, Br. Paun, Jan, 11,—In tho State Supreme Court to-day, a decision was filed in the case of Oakes aud Oliver Amon, executors of William L, Amos, vs. Tho Lake Superior & Mississippi Rall- road Company. Thi suit was originally brought by Ames to restrain tho Company from condemn, ing certain lands, on the ground, among others, that the Company's charter was unconstitutional, Tho Company was created by so assumed amend- mont of the Territorial charter of the Nebraska & Lake Superior Oompany, Thia Court do- claros it to bo ropuguant to the second section of tho tenth article of tha State Countitu- tion, which providea that ue corpora- tion’ shall be formed under special mcts except for municipal purposes, ‘The opinion, prepared by ex-Justica Young, whose turm ox- pired to-day, ia s long and exhaustive treatmont of the subjoct-matter, and is prouounced incon- trovertinle by leading members of the Lar hero, Its offecta may bo widespread. It lenves tho Company without any exclusive or specint privi- loges, and its stockholders personally liable for tho dobts of tha Company. Still worse, and more, overy State Company is operating under a charter supposed to have Leen created by a ‘for- ritorial Lovislature, but, like this, reccived and remodeled by the Siate Legislature, the ouly difforenve ‘boing that most of the’ amended chartora retained the original corporators, whila the Lako Ruperior & Missiewippi charter re- tained ouly three of the origiual twenty-six cor porators, THE FIRST DISTRICT. ng and aries Ciltepe vs, A, Welde, & Roorna—Alam ieuner ct, $900,—Nittonal Klate Wallace, $201.0, Ae Mre Caulfield Intends Running---iis Reasons Therefor ‘ir. Kimbark’s Candidacy, Ta less than two woeks the special election to fill tho vacancy caused by the doath of tho lion, John B. Rico wilt bo held. It bas always been understood, though without any deftuite reason, that Mr. Caulfield would be tho Democrat who would rup, Tho term of office ia so short that it bas boon considered questionable whethor any Republican of prominence would care tu epend his monoy for tho sake of securing tureo weeks of Congrewsional honors, aud the evoilasting title of “Honorable.” None of those gentlemen who woro candidates before the Ropublican Conven- tion last Octobor have manifestod the slightost inclination to again entor the ficld, and the Ro- publican Central Committco has, therefore, boon compelled to look: around for an available candi- date. It was iutimated ia Tae ‘Taruuxe Sunday thas MR. GRORGE M. RIMNATT was to be tho coming man, and itis now known that © committes waited upon him Saturday, sud askod him if he, would aceapt tho nomination if tondored ; to which Mr. Kimbark replied that ho would, if tho matter ‘‘could bo satisfactorily arrauged." ‘Thiy meant that Mr, Kimbark de- sired to aacortaln Mr. Caultield's intonti that geotleman desigued running, ALr. fi lsd no desire to covrest the election with him, If, however, Mr. Caulticid uid not care about the matter, thon Mr, Kimbark waa perfectly willing tora, Mr, Kimbark was to have beld a eonference yestorday aftornoon with Mr. KR. E. Goodell, in otder to nacortain Mr. Caultield’s iutentions, and to'finally decide what he would do in refereuce tothe subject. Owing to the inability of tho gentiomen to mest, the confercnce was pott- poned till this morning. MR. CAULYIELD. - In order to ascertain Mr. Cauldeld's intentions moro datinitely, a reporter called upon hin at the Pacitlo Hotel yesterday afternoou, aud auld him point-blank whothor he purposed being o caudidate. Mo replied that ho proposed tu maka tho raco, whethor he was pe in nomination or uot, and, that it was his intention to fight any man who went into tho fiekd against him. Tie said that bis motives in secking an election to sn ollice which lasted but for three wecks wore not in tho slightost degree of a partisan character; he did hot run morely and simply os the represoutatlve of the Democracy, but for othor reasons. Io boliavod that it was tor tho benollt of tho First Congressional District and his coustituents that he should go to Washington for this uu- expircd torm, siuoo his rosidevco thero, short though it would bo, would giyo hisn opportunitics to mako acquaintances with members, and would practically gtvo bim rauis in the ext Congrees ava now membor, thus on- abling bim to got ou more important committees than a now member would bo apt to, aud there- by putting him in o position where ho could ronder great service to this city, Any person who was sont there simply to 111 the unexpired portion of Slr. Rice's torm could be of no bene- iit to any one. ————— AMUSEMENTS THE NEW ADELPHI, ‘Yhe opening of tho Adelphi Theatro—tno old Pom-Onice building—last evening was wituessed by about the largest audlonce Chicago bas over seen, Tho main’ floor and threa gallorics, in other words ‘ from pit to domo,” were throngod by boys aud mon, with # vory fow women sand- wichod botwoen, and looking rather out of placo in tho immonge gathering. ‘Timid peoplo began to wonder whothor tho firo- tried walls would stand =the —tre= mendous pressure; but the renovated build+ ing remained as firm as some massive Norman costlo, nor did the stamplug sud slouting of the highly-elevated unwashod cause it to vibrate in tho least, “ Thero was some dclay in the lifting of the curtain, tho interval belug tilled with some yory fair music by the orchestra. Public confidence was fully restored whou, in the opening seeuc, the full company ap- Geared upon tho stsge, while Drock Me- fckar, Esq., the Spousor of tho hydrautic department of city, emerged from tha hindmost regions of the sceucs, and strode lightly aga fawn to tho footlights, where he proceeded to read what was termed “'n dodica- torial poom" pertinent to the ovcasion. Mr, MoVickar's classic production was rapturously applauded by appraciutive citizeua Who Were near evough to hear him, but ¢ho democracy in the upper tiers suggosted that Lo had’ hotter repair biv bellows, mt down on the floor, ‘“cheose it,” and other polita in- visations far beyond the poet's powor to accopt, Biss Emma Welly, aided by tho com- pany, attampted the “Star-Spangled Sanucr,’ Which wag uot an absolute siceoss. Tho drop- curtain was then allowed to roll down, displaying rather a pretty emblomatic picture of Chivaxo, utsuding by a cross and lookifg, with choorful countenance, on the soa of flame from which Ho 1@ bade her hope #@ rise amore glorious than fore, ‘The Post-Office Departmont, hesded by Gon. Moarthur and Mr. Squires, occupied one.of tho lower boxes, while, iu ustapoulthouy, gleamed the jolly face of Commissiouer Hoyve, who waa sur- youndod by a crowd of notables. Many promi- nent citizens woro scattered through the audi- ence, and stood the thing out Hise men of busi- bees. Mr, Grover, the manager, and Mr. Hame, tho archiiect, wero both loudly called for, aud 1o- sponded by appearing before the curtain aud making & semi-genuflezion. Mr. Grovor ro- quouted the boys, who were whistling like a gale of wind, to keep quiet, and they would have “a gool show.” Tho manager was dreneed a Ja Georre Francia Train, in nwallow-tail blue cost and Drasa buttons. Mr. Groyor’s promise wae fairly fulfilled, that is considering the opening-night. ' Tho Law- get's Clork”” was atupid enotigh, to be sure, bit it paased for the time. Miss Maggio Gray bas afiue form, It paints the rose too much, and is not happy in her vocal aclections, Tim gym- pastic performances of Prof. Faust and his two little boys cansed somo enthusiasm. Bam Devero, the solo-ringer and bavjoist, is food enongh when he doos vot swear, aud tell stonos unfit te be heard by ears polite, all of which Mr. Grover should check without further dolay, Mr, Devero may have lived in rome rough places, but when he eves into civilized community Le should coane te be 8 barbarian. Waltors and Marton, song and dance mon, were nite funny. although they exhibited nothing that wag really novel, Miss Weaver locks well in mole attire, and bas a passable voice. ‘The sword wparring performances of Manaicur }and Madame D'Omer looke:l riaky, and tuok well with the atdionca, Curry, tho gymnast. perform: ed some vary dificult feats in a graceful manner, Charley Howard as ‘Old Shady” showed bis urual talent for Ethiopianisia of an ancient character, Tho Worrell sisters snd Mr. George . Foiteseue, aded by the company, clove the performance wita the burleeque of “Cin deretia.” Mr, Grover, avervihing considered, may bo congratulated en hid opening mnceess, BEN DE BAR AS “FALSTAFF.” Savon years have passed since a Chicago audi ence gatherod to nee Jack Falstaf faco to face upon the stage, and not s very large one waa present at McVicker's Isst evening—a circum- stance not specially wonderful considering (he counter-attractions, ‘The wolcome given Ben Dear Inst evening was, couacquontiy, not very warm upon his firat appearance: Before tho first scence was over, however, he had kindled hin audience into a genisl glow of good humor, and from thence onward held them with- outaneffort. Tue exigencies of space prevent a vory extended notlce of the performance, which may be suinmed up ag both heartily enjoy- able and artistic in the moet praisewor- thy degreo, “Mr. De Bara conception of the charac. . is felicitiona in the extreme. With all his knayery, pultrooncry, and sollishnees, Jack Falstaff's ready wit and un- auenchable humor are palliating circumstances, aud win the good-will of tho spectator. In addi- tion to these qualities, which find capital ex- pression in Mr. Uo Bar's acting, thore is an air of faded refinement in it which ia singularly cap tivating.
