Wbstbbn Railroad or Alabama.—In oonneotion with the reoent attaok upon this road by a correspondent ta our col umns we invite attention to the remarks of Mr. Gibson of tho Alabama Legislature before the Hones Committee on the Rail road Freight Bill—whioh we oopy from the Montgomery Advertiitr. The oom- plaints against the present policy of this road, we ere informed, have originated at Opelika and are based on tba fact that where as formerly there wm a discrimina tion in favor of Opelika against Notaaelgs, Loeohepoka, Auburn, Salem and Cossets, that discrimination has reeently been abolished and local freights oharged to all points alike.

TUBS AND OSKMUBOB, ON THE RAILROAD vnuionx bill, Mr. Oibadn said: Gentlemen of the Committee, wo hove boon patiently and carefully auamtalng this question for eighteen days, end ta my opinion have ar rived at the following conclusions: We And that large quantities of freight •re brought into Alabama, to certain S tate, at exceedingly low rates, sod also it lugs emanate of tho produouof this Bute aro oerriod out from the same notate •t tho earns low rates. This oondition of things ta felt mainly at Montgomery, Bal ms and Mo bite, and is dae sole ly to tbo competition of the various MR and water transportation routes botwoen themselves. This compe tition te beyond the ooutrol of tho Legid- lature of Alabama, and is, m I eonoeive, a gnat beoeAt to a large number of the oltisen producers ana ooniamere In this State. The only question U whether the local rates charged on our railways are too high. From tbo ovidonee sub mitted to ns and not denied, tbo local rates in Alabama are Ism than those paid on the railroads ta the eurroondtag States. It te Mao ta evidence that with one or two exceptions the atookboldare or bnild- ers of oar railways have not only never reoeived dividends or interest on the money invested ta the building these nil. ways, but have lost their on tire interest in vested ta attempting to operate them. The ohsrge of extortion oannot therefore just ly lie against the railways of tho. State; and ta my opinion it would bo unwise to poM lows that might have the effect of in- terferenoe with through freight in the vain hops of forcing railroads to reduce looai freights. On aocount of thi variable end doily ranging nature of through freights, depending entirely upon the strength of competition at - the various potato of shipment of snoh freights, it is impracticable to attach any Axed per oent. on each freights as tha basis of local rates ta this State. We And farther that oar turpentine, lumber, ooa), iron, or lime interests ere living only and thriving only by the medium of through rates, and any Interferesoe on our part wonld ruin these intereete immediately end at onos. therefore teal oonetrataed to vott against this bill. Wblls as A Withms.—According to el aoeounte, the Grand Oyolojte of the Louis iana Returning Board oonspintors must have oat • sorry figure before the Con- grcolonel Investigating Committee while under cross-examination by Mr. Field. A correspondent of the Richmond Dit patch says: He wm bold, impudent, threatening, obstinate and dissuasive. Yet at times he wm very meek, after an outburst of auger at Mr. Field, wbeao manner wee some times persuasive, sometimes oereless, and sometimes peremptory. To folly appre ciate Weils M n witness, be most have bean seen end heard. He told Mr. Field be meant to anewer questions ta hte own wsy, or not at oil; end told the Chairmen if he did not proteot him from Mr. Field, he'd proteot himBelf, end look ed threateningly at Mr. Field, end added, “And that very qniok, too.” The whole atory of Wells carried with it the oonvio- tion of ita own antrathfolnesa, and bis manner wm that of a msn under the in fluence of Uquer and suffering from great nervous exoitement.

FEBRUARY LE0AL FORM VERlUt THE MERIT$ ATTENTION TURNING TO LOUISIANA Tha Damoeratlo Out* ua Prepared for Presentation. From the New York Herald.] Washington, February A, 1877. The BepubUoan claim for Florida, rests by the arguments of Judge Matthews sad otters before the Xtektortl Commis sion, not on the Governor’s oMtifieate end not on the majority of vote*, but on tbo return mMe fay the State Returning Board. Tho electors, said Judge MaUtewe, era afaooec by the people, voting st their pftOtaote; the vote is oomsolidaud by eoonty offloen and their coneolidatioae too then reported by them eg eta to n third end highest had last returning offloen or oenvaaotag board, who, rroeiviog theM returns from oil the counties ta the State, exerctee tha powers conferred upon them by low, and make that whioh in my judgment lathe Comple tion end eensnmmatioa of the appoint ment of the electors. Even if on inves tigation made after theta electors have •eted should show that they were not tha ehoioe of a majority of tha voters of tho State, they would otlll bo the proper eleotors, Judge Matthews held, end even if the Meetors thus appointed by the Re turning Board, exorcising tha powers conferred on it by law. should not have the Governor's oertifiaato, they wonld •till be the proper elqotoro. This statement, wUah, te tha strongest and moat precise yet mode by tho Bepub- can side, ta intended to covet Oregon M well m Florida. It te probably intended to oover Louisiana m wall M tha other two, and there le a general impression it may oarry Florida for tha Republicans before the commission, for it 1s acknowl edged to be in many raapaota a tenable position. Tbe Democrats will try to show the Florida Returning Board acted ta viola tion of law, Lot they may not anooeed to tbe satisfaction of the oommtesi.on, and the argument that State authorities have no eontrol over the eleotors after they have sated, end that, in foot, tha 6th of December, the day on whioh they meat, concludes the whole proposition so far M State interference is oonoerned.is thought to be conclusive. Henoe there hM bean eager disonssion about tha bearing of these propositions on the Louisiana case, which will follow that of Florida. If the commission should on thSM grounds give Florida to tha Republicans, or, to speak more accurately, deride that cer tificate No. 1 Is the true and valid bertifi- cate, how Would this affect Louisians ? Those Democrats who havo moat closely studied the Louisiana com MMrt confi dently it the Commission shall oooept tha propositions laid down by Judge Matthews ss fnndsmentsl and oorreot, it must on those grounds either throw out Louisiana's vote or give the State to the Demoorate. The oase is put ta this way: The Repub licans bold that the derision of the Re turning Board, “exerdsing the powera oonferred upon it by..law, te final, and is tbe “completion end consummation of the appointment of the electors.” They oonld not hold Ism then this, it te said ; they oould uot smart that tha derisions of the Returning Board ta violation pf tha law cresting it oonld be efitaarious. But Democratic oonneel will bring forward proofs when Louisiana oomM before the Commission intended to Mtabltah the fol lowing points: Firtt—That by the statutes of Louisiana the Welle Returning Board bad no sathor- ity or power to canvas* the vote fox Pres ide ” ~ “ army offloer on tbo spot, ta ehorgo of I Hollo' troops, reported to hte onporiox offloere I spMtal to tkeOtoetBAtU Saqelrer that tha pUoe wm m quiet M » New Tba break down of England town; that in another Mhos tha eomplata then will bo Supervisor of Election ta • ptoph who ngntar report of hie and wm eriualhr a mMBheYif ttoLeST jfieddox, Littlefield, Pit latura of that State while acting be Whj had sworn to, And to « pervtaor of Election in .tfnljjBfcjpt fifrurients, latteiUand ijliterital that. that ha arbitrarily Aung oat AvU pnefop huen gften ki evtdraM. ^fis had bean ta the perish without cause, and thus ritfted to frame some anewor for every threw out 1,117 Democratic and 147 Be- auction that might ha asked him, and pnblioan votes.

They oennot, therefore, real their delates on the mere certificate of the Governor, m at first seemed the easy and ■hotter eat to saooeM. Jmdge Matthews opened hte speeob by empbetioelly dis claiming any snoh ground. He refnsed to hold that tbe Governor’s certificate should be final, and did hold that the commieion’a powers were limited to an in quiry into “What are tbe faota whioh the Governor should have certified and did uot?” And he took the ground, also, th>t that body of electors which, with an ap parent right end s paper title, and in poesMsion of the functions of the offloe, actually exeroiaee it, ie, for the purposes of this oommiMion, the lawful body, whose vote must be oounted, even if sub sequent investigations should show that it had no dtjure title.
