It is estimated that Congressman

Railroad and Inter-State Com
merce.
The question of how State authority
and National authority, without con
flict and confusion, but in constitutional
harmony and practical co-operation, can
be exercised with efficient vigor for the
just and wholesome regulation of rail
road traffic, has been brought into re
newed prominence by a decision of the
railroad Commissioners of the State of
Massachusetts just rendered in regard
to a case of differential freight rates
charged by the New York and New-
Hngland Railroad Company. The
New-York and New-England Railroad
Company it appears charged a higher
rate per ton for carrying Coal from
Norwich to Webster, a distance of forty
three miles, than from Norwich to
W orcester, a distance of fifty-nine miles.
This the Railroad Commissioners of
Massachusetts have decided to be ille
gal, basing the validity of their action
upon decisions of the United States
Supreme Court, which affirm the abso
lute right of a State to fix maximum
rates for transportation either within a
State or begun outside of a State and
carried within it, or begun within it
and carried without. The Supreme
Court of the United States has by its
decisions not only declared the right of
the State to regulate commerce on rail
roads within the State, but has given
the State concurrent jurisdiction with
Congress, to regulate commerce between
the States, Congress not having taken
the initiative. If the State has such a
power, it clearly has the right to forbid
discrimination by charging more fdt a
shorter than for a longer distance on
the same line and in the same direction.
That the policy of some roads has been
such as to benefit the termini and larger
. places at the expense of the smaller
centres, and of the people generally, is
perfectly patent. The true policy, as
pointed out by the Massachusetts Com
missioners, is for a railroad to develop
its local as well as its through business,
and it will be wise policy for all corpo
rations to revise their rates so as not to
discriminate against the small centres
of industry and commerce in favor of
the large ones. The legislative power,
State, as well as Federal, being suffi
cient to protect the people in their
rights, there would seem to be little
danger that unjust discrimination
should be permanent, or indeed that
unreasonable rates should be enforced.
Once let it be generally accepted as law
and fact that the State is the creator,
and, therefore, the regulator of the rail
road corporations, and those shrewd
organizations will conform speedily to
such policy as will be pleasant to the
public and profitable to them. Every
case which is brought before the courts,
and each argument before legislative
bodies, tends to clarify the doctrine,
and to crystallize it in favor of the gen
eral welfare, which will be found in the
long run to be the highest interest also
of the corporations.
The above leader from the old and
reliable Shipping List (which by the
way is considered authority upon com
mercial matters in the metropolis)
shows that the Massachusetts Commis
sioners have given the people of their
State the benefits of the United States
Supreme Court decisions, “that a great
er charge for a less distance, than for a
long one, is illegal.”
This covers the whole ground of
trouble between the Railroads and the
people. The question can nevor be
permanently settled on any other basis,
for the Court of last resort has decided
it to be the law, and the sooner our
Railroad Commissioners come squarely
up to their work and enforce this de
cision, the sooner will the whole trouble
be settled. Sumter.
An interesting rumor comes from
New Orleans to the effect that Gen.
Gustave Pierre Tourtant Beauregard is
about to many Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt, the widow of the dead commo
dore. Beauregard, as all the world
knows, was one of the greatest engi
neer officers on either side in the late war.
Carefully trained at West Point, where
he graduated second in his class in 1840,
he rendered valuable services to the
United States in the Mexican war, and
invaluable services against it in the
war of the rebellion, He is considered
to-day one ut the foremost military en
gineers of his time by competent crit
ics. Some of them contend that he is
the equal of any engineer since Vauban.
Certain it is that he is very highly
spoken of, and that some of his work—
that at Manassas battle field, in Vir
ginia, for example—is pointed by the
older engineer officers of the army as a
model for the young lieutenants of the
corps.
The syndicate now being formed in
Georgia to bribe the legislators in fa
vor of what is known as the Bullock
bogus bonds, is going to create a sen
sation. The syndicate claims that the
merits of the bonds have never been
tested before the courts, and will ask
that they be given a hearing. A wide
field is going to be opened in this mat
ter, and much money will be spent on
legislators, one way and another.
The Financial Chronicle reports the
cotton receipts up to Friday at all the
ports, this season at 2,187.240, against
2.078.640 last year over last, at all ports
108,536. We can see nothing in these
figures that can give life and vitality to
the estimates ot 7,000,000 bales, and
upward which are indulged—or prom
ulgated by the cotton “bears,” nor is
there anything in the volume of re
ceipts at interior points to justify the
prediction of a crop exceeding 6,500,000
bales. Many of the best contton ob
servers that we have met, do not be
lieve the crop now heing gathered will
much exceed 6,000,000, even if it reach
those figures.

A Trifling; Affair.
The following is said to have hap
ened when the legislature adjourned
some months ago, but we did not hear
of it until yesterday;
Avery prominent member of the
legislature, who bad been paying a
great deal of attention to the widow
Bombazine, told her, on calling with
his carpet bag in his hand, that he was
about to leave Austin, and she must
forget him. She replied that he had
trifled with her affections, and now he
proposed to leave her desolate.
“It’s not my fault,” he replied, with
tears in his eyes. “I would keep on
trifling with your affections if I could
only stay here, but as I can’t, you will
have to get some other trifling cuss to
stay here. The organic law is to blame'
that limits the sessions of the legisla
ture and compels tr.e to leave Austin
and go back to my family.”— Texas
Siftings.
An Amusing Court Scene.
A young Austin lawyer was appoint
ed to defend a negro who was too poor
to hire counsel of his own. After the
jury was in the box the young lawyer
challenged several jurymen whom his
client said had a prejudice against him.
“Are there any more jurymen who
have a prejudice against you?” whis
pered the young lawyer.
“No, boss, de jury am all right, hut
now I wants you to challenge de jedge.
I has been convicted under him seberal
times already, amt maybe he is begin
nin’ to hab prejudice agin me.”
The young lawyer, this being his
first case, took the advice of his client,
and, addressing the court, told the judge
he could step aside. —Texas Siftings
