Sax Fraxcisco, March 5.—In the Kalloch murder trial the defense during the week in- troduced a number of witnesses who testi- fied to secing or hearing the shots fired, and one of them swore that e saw De Young fire the first shot. Clemetshaw, who gaye evidence to the same effect at tho prelim- inary examination, was brought into court and reiterated his. former testimony. ‘The evident abject of the defense is to show that De Young had two pistols, oie, presumably a Dersinger, which he drew from liis over- coat pocket and fived, though not able to zet his revolver from his pants pocket in time to use it.

Spectal Dispalch to The Chicagn Tribune. PmLADELPIIA, March 5.—The work done under the supervision of the Citizens’ Com- mittee of One Hundred in investizating the frauds at the recent election is now begin- ning to make itself felt. On the two days succeeding the election complaints to the Committee of illegal voting and fraudulent returns were so numerots that a sub-com- mittee was appointed to inquire into the matter. - Every complaint that has been made was examined into, and the unimpor- tant ones ignored, while the more significgnt ones were brought to the attention of the counsel of the Committee. Several arrests vere made, and, on a hearing before a mag- istrate, ten of the accused persons were bound over to answer at court.

President Ackerman, 0f the Illinois Central Railroad Company, yesterday directed the following letter to State Senator W. E.

The argument is an 2ble ome from a railroad point of view, and will be read with considerable Interest: CircAGo, March 5.—The Hon. \. E.

You wil doubticss agrce with methat there I3 always dnnger in_hasty _legislation, and uever in the Bistory of our. Stute, Perbubs, was this moro truo than at tho present time. Legislutors, in their eflorts to correct what they considor to be evils, often make the mistuke of resorting to extremes, which ure cafoufuted (o produce new ciuses of alurm, affecting not only the interest ot capital, but alse that of Jabor. 1 address vou for the purpuse of stating what Ibeliove will be the Inevitablo result of wdhering 1o the present policy of antagonism to the rilways of this State, and to say in all frankness wmt if even a porton of the hostilo mensures now before tho two Houscs snould beecome luws, the railroads of this State would be under the Recessity of meeting a new condf- tlon of affairs, aud of adoptivg nn eutirely dif- ferent courso in. toeir. manngement. Tho fivst neeessity foreed upon them would be tho cur- tuilment of their expenses ut all points. This would result not only in thousands of men beng atonee thrown aut of ewployment, but also in cripplivg fhe resources of the roads, and their capagity for doing business. ‘We had an illus- tration of this fu 157, following the unconstitu- tional law of 1871; the fact of the punic of 1675, with all its nttendant distress 1o the work- ing ‘clusses, Delmy 10 large extent attributu- ble to tho pussuge of this law, Mon who renlly huve the lntercst of the State of Iiii- nois” ut heart should pause beforo they conseit to the passuge of 1aws which may result in a vepeiition of such u disaster €0 80 large portion of tho laboring populaton ot the State, According to the lust report of the Board of tuilrond Commissioners no less than 40,60 men were actuatly employed by the ruilrond com- panies In Hinols alone. and yon muy add at least 5,000 tore cmployed in factories. wines, ware- houses, lumber-yards, stock-yards, end’ work- shops, Wwho iucidentally receive support from the sume source. Now, if you gentlemen take wway trom the rullroads of the Stute the power to receive a fuir consideraaon for the services they render, you must deprive large portion of these men und thetr Tamilies of their dully sustenance, tor the reason thut the rouds will be cbliged to dispense with their services, and the responsibility of such o calamity must rest with those who hive the power 1o avert it. 'This i§ a8 pluin a proposition as can be stated. Italroad compuules du ot purchnse supplies ‘and matorinls, sud oufld engines and cars tor transportation of freight and passangers, unless they can find compensation in it to the extent of a tair return on the capital luvested. This they have a reasoniable rightto demand; yet there are those who would urge the passuge of luws fixiog rates of transportation below the cost of doing business. In this they are in some In- stances E\mmpl:‘d by demands of people living out ot tho State, having no local interest in jts welfare, and who have added nothing to ber prosperity in the past, but are simply ustempe- ing to take advantage Of & populur outery aguiost railways to benefit themselves. Fortu- mately there i3 a constitutional tmit to the de- mauds of these men, reaching beyond the pale of such heresies as are spread abroad by the Jerryblackguardisnm of the day, assailing without discriminution the whole railway management of the country, and which {s fostered by n preju- dico founded on igavrance or demagugisoi, either of which Ishard to contend with. With ali due respeet fo the gentlomen com- posing the majority of both Houses, Isubmit whetner i practieal business subject, which has puzzled the minds of tue best ralirvad man- agers of this country in their efforts to ndjust it to the business wants of the country, can by * regulated” from a purely legul standpoint, Your own good sense will tell you that it can- not. What would you think ot a convention of railroad men meeting to decide a question of luw? How much valuo would you place upon tle result of thoir deliberatlons? 2 Tam sure that these having thesc long lines of rallway In charge arc as desirous of seelng this vexed question set ut rest usany onc cau possibly be, und would be:gind of any renson- wble stigeation that would aid thew. They have already spent mueh time fo the past in ut- -tempting tu solve it. The truch is, that raitrond- ing in this country is comparatively in its in- fancy, and is, and from the pature of ft must e, @ work of eradual ‘development. Vust jmprovements have been mnao in man- agement during . the past five years, both in, the eare_and attention given to cos moditles trunsported, as well us in tho safety, and comfort ot passengers. This whole mutter, nowa cause' of 6o much discussion here, will gradually seitle ana adupt itself to the wants of ;:m people, us it has inthe older countrles of Surope. One thing may be rezarded as a certainty, and thatis,that you can not by legislative ennctmient, estublish oie cast-iron rule that will apply to the government of all railronds alike; for in some cases, 15 we buve found in our vwa experience, a general rule will not apply even to different portions of the same ling, where clrcumstances entirely chunge the condition of uffuirs.

The total shipments of flour, grain, and provisions for the week eunding MMarch 5 amounted to 35,330 tons, against 45,- 708 tons the week previous, a decrease of 7,119 tons. This serious falling-off is due partly to the severe weather, which prevent- ed the Western roads from bringing in much freight. ‘But, even if the weather had been ordinarily good, there would no doubt have been a decrease, as shippers are now begin- ning to prepare for the. opening ‘of naviga- tion. Besides, a geod deal of freight is being diverted via the Soathwestern lines, which, it is being understood, are badly cutting the rates. Some of the St. Louis lines are reported to have made cutson grain and provisions of from 5 to 10 cents per 100 pounds, and unless Chicago roads make similar” concessions they wmust necessarily suffer. 1t was charged by some of the ship- vers _that during the week special rates on Dprovisions were made Dy ong or two of the Chicago lines, bug the railroad officials_deny the sott imyieachment, and_claim to still ad- here firmly to tariff rates. They say the ship- pers inake these charges for the purpase of reaking the rates, However this may be, so mueh s certain that in view of the cutting done by the lines from St. Louis, Peoria, and Indianapolis, the Chicago roads will be com- Fclleu to make similar reductions before ong, as they cannot aiford to let the business be diverted to the Southiwestern cross lines, espec!nllg‘us they will in a few weeks have to meet the additional competition by lake. The following statement shows the amount of grain, flour, and provisions carried by the various roads east from this city for the week ending March 5: Grain,| Provs, Flour, [tons of jtons of | Total Dris. 2000 .

Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, NasHVILLE, Tenn., March 5.—Ex-Gov. Porter, President of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga & St. Louis Railway, being inter- rogated to-night in regard to rumors that that road was to be divorced from the Louis- ville, Nashville & Great -Southern, denies positively that such a thing had ever been contemplated, or that any action had been had with reference to such a movement. His road, hesaid, was being managed to the best of the ability of these in charge, and while its #overnors ara on very friendly relations with. the management of the Louisville, Nash- ville & Great Southern Railway, they maintain an independent control. ' There is no business reason, he said, for the advance in stock during the past few d: it being caused, he presumes, by stock-j bers in New York, The visit of Vice-Presi- dent Alexander and General-Manager De- funiak to Nashville yesterday had no connee- tion with any divorce of the Nashvlille, Chat- tanooga & St. Louis Railway, as reported. ‘They simply eame to attend a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Chattangoga Road, of which they are members, and whose action was telegraphed you last night. FIGHTING AGAIN. Private advices trom Kansas City bring the information that passenger rates east from that city are again considerably demor- alized. 'The rate to Chicago is still main- tained at §5, but the rates to Eastern points are being badly cut.. It is understood that tickets are being sold from Kansas City to Eastern seaboard points at an advance of from £2 to 85 over .Chicngo rates. Ewery- thing indicates enother tussle rezarding the passenger business between Chiaczo and St. Louis and Missouri River points, but iz is not likely that any decisive steps will be laken before Geueral Passenger and "Cicket Agents return from New York, where the annual Conventlon of the General Passenger Azents' Associationof the United States will be held on the 9th of this inonth. WILL TESTIFY. Most of the Traffic Managers and General Freight Agents of the roads centering in this eity were served with summons yesterday to testify before the Legislative Commiittee in- vestigating the charges of diserimination wreferred by various shippers. They will all &0 to Springfield Monday, and take the stand when their names are catled. They deny that any discriminations between shippers have been made, and say they will be able to show by their booksand records that there ‘was no ground for the charges. ——— THE NEW ANTI-FRICTION BUSINESS.
