The logic of tho Indiana Congressman is peculiar. ‘Tho two rules were widely different, Ono was wrong and the other was right, We support- ed the right one, which tho Mouse adopted, and opposed the wrong one, which the Honso defeated. Mr. Pacxanp voted for both, and, if there be room for any charge of inconsist- ency, it applies to him and not to Tis Trin- txe. If tho rule as adopted was right, a3 wo think it is, then tho first rule, which wos a vory diferent proposition, was wrong, though Mr. Packarp vote for both, ‘he member from Indiann retires from office on the 3d of March ; his Repubtican constituents omitted to nominate him for re-clection that he might give his whole time to his paper, and wotrust that, relieved of any embarrassment in tho wry of supporting back-pny candidates forof- fica, he will do the parly and the country able servico, OGITUALY, ‘THt DBLAPIELDA, ‘The mortatity in tho Detarienp family is one of the most cingolur cakes on record.

Srectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Boston, Feb. 17.—The moeting of tho hond- halde:a of the Chicago, Clinton & Dubuquo Rail- road and tho Chicago, Dubuque & Slinnesota Railroad to-day was quite as interesting os I promised it would be, and tha roport of the Comtmittes was listened to vory closely. Beginning with a detailed description of the two corporations, the report says they were built by construction companies organized by Directors of the River Roads and Chicago, Burliugton & Quincey Road. The contracts wore very much alike, That with tho Clinton Road provided that tho Construction Company shouid cons:ruct, bridgo, tiro, ron, aod suitably equip the road from Dubuque to Clinton, using parailel roads when, hy so doing, the construction of tho rad could bo obviated; and for the supervision and man-~ agement of said consiruction, and the further Payment of the sum of $140,000 (the amount of its capital stock) tho Construction Comrany ehould receive all bonds end stock of the Ruilroud Company issued and to be issued ; and if tho assets were not enongh to complete the rond, the Construction Company should be releacod from further obligations, and ebouldie- ceive the land-grant, stock, and bonds, Tho concluding parayraph of this contract waa in the following words: “Tho object of tiie ogreoment being npon the part of eaid Itail- road Company to receive tho benoit of anid Cou- .ssruction Company's capilal of, $140,000, aud for sorbed in the recital, because very likely ho was lying, and the strain upon his invontive faculty was very great. The but of the gun plid un- noticed into the fire-place, and the stock waa slowly burned until the batrel got hot. Thon thero was an explosion, and a pleco of Joxss' leg was carricd away, This incident, although doubtless interesting to Joss, doesn’t aftor all lock vory sensational ou paper, but it may bo of practical yalue to the dimo novelists. ‘Lhe question of the competency of an avowed athoist to testify in court isto bo reopanod. A woman named ‘InvumaNn deposited €4U0 in the banking-house of Woopuvin & Crary, which was lost when this notorious firm failed. Suit was brought in tho Marino Court for tho recoy- ery of the monoy; but tuo principal witness for tho prosecution refused to admit his belief in God, and was, therefore, oxcluded from tho nit- ness-staud, Tho Liberal Club of this aty bas taken up the caso, and rexolved to cary the sp- peal before the highest court, that * the right of every man or woman to be a witness in the Stato of Now York may bo assured and maiolained.” Messts, Jawes Parton, Covnrnanp Pater, Cuantes Monay, 7.

The public undoubtedly holds that no man should be punished for killing the soducer of his wife, sister, or daughter, Had Mr. Tinton possessed porltive proof that Mr, Beecnzn was guilty. and had he thoreupon shot him, he would have been the hero of the hour. Having, as ho alleges, Preferred to practice the Christian code of for+ givenegs, he has brought npon Limeelf the con- tempt of hundreds of Christinn mon, Tho truth i that when tho crimo of seduction is committod public sentiment demands that the injured uua- band or fathor ahould cast his Cbristinvity to the winds, and lave recourao to the pagan practice of a bloody zaveuge.— Graphic.

The total amount recnived by the con- struction company was xe follows: €150,000 of bonds at 90, $1,350.000 ; capital of the construc. tion company, $140,090; total, 81,490,003, ‘Lhe coat of the rond, as given by Mr. Joy, including half of the machine-shops, was $1,400,000, The conatruction-company Laving exneudell all tho asvets, and having finished 43 miles of road, and partly graded 12 milos, with 2 miles of tlde-track, considered thomecivos re- leased from further liability, The tots! amonnt teevived by the cousiruction-company wae as follows: €4,425,000 in bonds at 90, 93,992,500; capital of the Construction Company, $300,000; Jocal aid supposed to Lave been at lenat §30u,- G00; total, 54.592,500; add tho floating debt on tho rond, $500,000; total, 45,082,500; cost, ag givona by Mr, Joy, $4 2>2,500; Latance, £800,- 00; deduct taken by Mr. Graves, $173,000 Joaving a balance of $627,000, of which yet the committee have recoived no account.

What disposition has been made of thexe earnings the Committe have not yet been iufoimed. The information is promigod, in reply to quostiona proposed by them, but, trom the testimony of Bir.

While the ciicular and bonds themselves timited tho necurity tos milo of rond for every 925,00 of bonda, theae contracts were in force, which would oblize the railroad corporation to accept the road if there were about mile of road for every 850,009 of bonds, In spite of tho circulars and the bonds themeelves, limiting the insu to §26,000 & rolle, the Dircctura of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and tho River roads allowed an {tee to ba mude of much more thun thst amount without taking ibe noceawary precautions to insure the building of tho road or he spplicat.on of the money to that purpose. IN anort, bonds for 237 miles of road wore issued, while of this distance 55 iniles were only partially graded and without rails when aoospted by the railroad company, ‘Thera were, in addition, however, 153¢ miles of side-track.

President Garrett's characteriatie reply to Col. Beott's haughty lester, in ordering a reduction of passenger fares toand from all Weatern cities, bas proved a bombuheil in the camp of the cne- my. No one thougit for a moment that Jir. Garrett would be #0 prompt in carrying out his threat, aud hence when the order cama to make rates from Chicago to Balimoreaud Washington $10, and to Puiindelplia €12, everybody wae taken by surprise, aud many refused to be- lieve it, until eigus were put out at the Baltimora & Obio Railroad office informing the pablic tuat they cau purchaas tickets at the obovo rates, From that time until evoning the Baltimore & Onio office was crowded with people, anzioua to purebaso tickets at the ro- duced figures. Aw atated above, tho other lines tending to the East wero taxen completely by surprise, and know not what action to tuke, and up to last evening ona of them had yet ro- duced their rates. Yeatorday morning Gen. Moyers, tho General Inescnyer Agout of tha Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railrond, the Chicago branch of tho Penusylvama Rmload Company, arrived in town, and inthe af a ‘Tuipese reporter eailed upon him to a what action his toad would take. Mr. Mey stated thas be Lad av yet received no instructions from Philadelphig, tut he did not think that lie road would take any uotice of the reducnon on the Baltimore & Obio Railrond ae far as Chicazo was concerned. ‘They might maka a reduction from St. Louis, Toledo, and Indiauapotis, o4 com petition from thoxo points was britker than trom. Chicago, but nuthing detiuite las set been de- cided. Lie road could uot afford to carry pas- sengers ut the rates wade by tho Baltino:e & Ohio, and it wae better for lua road to tet then dv all the Baldimora and Wastington traite, which was very sinall anyw Suould the Peuusylyauia Railroad Company attempt such a thing av to make a dixcrimination in favor of St. Louis, Iudianapolis, and otuer Western places against this city, they will suon Tear that they havo mada ASAD SHBTARE, The people of Chicago will utand no such war- fare as that, and would at ovee withdraw all their pationage from the Pittsburg; Fort Wayne & Chicogo, even after the ciose of tho present war, Besides such action would compel the Mien igau Southern avd Mienican Coutral Railrosde to reduco their rates to New York. thus compoll- ing the Pittaburg, Fort Wayne & Chicazato tront Chicago the eame ss other citios, ‘Pho Caicago & Alton aud Ilinois Ceutral would aiso bnve to take measuros to protect their 8, Lonis traffic and reduco their rates f1om that city to Chicago, ‘There Is not tue least doubt, though the roads may doit reluctantly, that tho fares from New York to Chivago sad vico versa will be reduced by all tho lings ina day ortwo, Tho Baltimore & Ohio has already aunoancod that it will carry paggeagers trom New York to Chicago at @16.25 jnstead of $22, The Western road are all favorable tothe Baltimoro & Oluo, and will belp it along as much as possible, Tho figit will bo 6 bitter one aud may prove disostroug to 8 num ber uf railrosdu, ANOTHEN REDUCTION OF THE DALTIMORE & OnIO. to Spec!

The Baltimore & Obio Company haa reduced asscnzor fares in reply to the movo of the Paunsylyanis Itailroad, iu retusing to take froight over ita tines forthe formor road. The following are among the reductions West: To Chicago, 810.25, tnstead of $22; Cincinnati, 816.25, instead of 220; to Louisville, $16.25, in- atoad of 11; and St, Louis, £21.25, instoad of 227, maklug a difference of $5.75 in price toall the points named except Cincinnati, The Pennyyl- vauie Iaitroxd has not yet reduced passougor ratos to the Wort, and the oficiala hero say it will uot until the three trunk lines of tho Sara- fogs compact have resolved on it. It is bolieved a JOINT ACTION WILL SHORTLY FOLLOW. Tho depots in Now York were to-day refusing large quantities of trowht for the Weat by way of the Baltimore & Ohio, Tho Penunylvania Road officals say that all euch shipments will be refused. They carry, of course, as for a8 Philadelphia, but cbargo focal rates, and deliver only = at their depot to tho tracks of the Baltimore & Obio Railroad Company. This will doubtioss throw much of tho freight into tho hands of the Pean- sylvauia, Eric, and Now York Contral lines. ‘The Baltimore & Obio Compaor talk of having & floot of steamers ready shortly to tako freight direct to their Balttmore terminus, Tho afair prowises to become more bitter and extended than at present, —_—.—_.
