New Crlxaxs. December C—A great deal of
curiosity was excited In society circles a day ox
two ago. by the appearance of the following mar
riage notice In the leadlag&apcn :
"Howaso—Doswcx - Oa Thuraday^cptember
25.1879. by C. H. Wilson. Esq., justice of the
pence, at Big Lick, Rcanoke coouty, Virginia, F.
f. Howard to Emma C. DoswelL ’
Public interest waa, however, thoroughly
aroused and the tongues of gomips set wagging
when the following card was published:
•The statement In the public ptwa that I wax
marr.ed at any time or place is untrue. 1 am
Dl married and never have been * married.
Fxaxk T. Howard.••
Frank T. Howard is asonof CharlesT. Howard,
of this city. He is about twenty-six years of age
and well known in society. Emfoa C. Doswell is
a daughter ol the late William J. Pike, ol this
city. who. in his day. was a distinguished banker
in New Orleans. The Pike family is one of the
oldest and beat known In the city. Mrs. Dosweli
is about thirty years of age, amiable, beautiful
and cultivated. Her first husband was Mr. Gray
Dosweli- 8toe has been a favorite in New Orleans
society for years. It seems that Mr. Leslie Budd
and Mr. H. J. Bell, who are friends of the Pike
family, caused the marriage notice to be publish
ed, and these gentlemen famished a statement
facta for publication. Their
statement is, that about three years ago
Mr. Howard met Mis. Dosweli, then a widow
with two children, and several years older than
Howard, and at once began to pay her most
marked attention. Frank’s lather remonstrated
with him, disapproving the match with a lady
older than himself, and .encumbered with chil
dren, and, it is said, gave him Si0^4DU he would
de-iat in his attentions to Mrs. Do well. This,
however, did not wholly break off their intimate
relations, and affairs moved on in a quiet way U<r
two years. In September. lt>79, Mrs. Dosweli, ac
companied her mother and brother. Dr. John 1L
Pike, to Salem, Ya. Frank followed them there
and one day look Mrs. Dosweli out driving. The
rids wa» continued to Lake Bid dt, Roanoke coun-
ty£where Howard proposed marriage and intro
duced a man to her as "C. H. Wilson, justice of
the peace," who performed the ceremony in the
presence of witnesses, and the lady was given a
document which she carefully treasured as a mar
riage certificate. The marriage was kept quiet
until some three months ago, when Mr*. Dosw t n
confessed it to some frienas, while ridung Naah-
ville Howard tnen went to Nashville and they
lived at a hotel as husband and wife. He then
took her to Atlanta and engaged apartments at
the Kim ball bouse. Howard le turned to New

THE SOLUTION OF THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.
York, Peril, November 16,1880.—Com
mittee on Railroad Transportation of the
New York Chamber of Commerce—Gentle
men : Yon propose a movement in favor of
some legal regulation which will compel
railway companies to perform their duties
to the public on proper terms. I will
answer your questions as directly as potsi
ble. bat without observing the order in
which you put them. You detire above all
things to be just. The legally vested rights
of railway companies, like other rights of
property, are sacred, and no violation of
them comes within the scopo of your de
sign But on this question railroad men
misunderstand their situation. They be
lieve, or pietend to believe, that railways
are the property of the companies author
ized to run them, which is a cardinal error
and ibe parent of much false argument.
A public highway cannot be private
propei ty, and a railroad laid out
and built by the authority
the s ate for the purpose of com
merce U as much a public highway as a
turnpike road, canal or navigable river. It
is the duty of the state to promote inter
course and trade by making highways of
the best sort through her territory. To this
end she may take land and materials, which
is an exercise of the power of eminent do
main. She can build a railway at her own
expense, using the direct agency of her own
officers, and sifter it is built she can make it
free to a>l comers, or reimburse the cost by
special tax on individuals who have occa
sion to use it. She can delegate the taxing
and the taxing powers to a corporation or a
natural peison, and that is what she always
does when she grants a railroad charter
But in either or any case the road belongs
the state, and all the people have a right
use it upon con " *'* '*
sary regulations an<
FAYMEHT OF THE PROPER TAX.
The corporations who have got into the
habit of calling themselves the owners of
the railroads have no proprietary right, title
claim to ihe roads themselves, but a mere
franchise annexed to and exercisable there
on. They are the agents of the state for
the performance of a public duty. If the
franchise be forfeited or surrendered, or if
it expire by efflux of time, the state takes
possession of the road and runs it herself, or
employs a new agent. The company cannot
keep the road, any more than an outgoing
every man’s business as much as can be
taken without compelling him to quit it
In the aggregate this amounts to the most
s, oppressive, ami unjust tax that
laid upon the industry of any peo
ple under the sun. The irregularity with
which This tax is laid makes it still harder
to bear. Men go into a business which may
thrive at present rates, and will find them
selves crashed by burdens unexpected!v
thrown upon them after they get started.
It is the habit of the railroad companies to
change their rates of transportation often
and suddenly, and in particular to make
the charges ruioously high, without any
notice at all. The farmersof the great west
have made a large crop of grain, which they
may sell at lair prices if they can hare ft
carried to the eastern ports, even at
the unreasonably high freights of
last summer. But just now

to return and be married according to the Catbo

veil the custom
cial work. The state, having need for a
public highway at a particular place, makes
a contract with a corporation to open and
pnt it in condition to be used; and by way
of reimbursing the builders aud operators
‘•he authorizes a tax upon those
who travel or carry merchandise
it But this tax must be reason
able, just, uniform, prescribed and fixed,
so that every citizen may know beforehand
exactly how much be must pay, and so that
when he pays or tenders the proper amount
he will acquire an absolute and perfect right
to the use of the road. Tbe amount of the
tax, toll, or freight in any case is not h
subject ot bargain between the shipper and
the corporation, but a thing to be settled,
fixed and prescribed by public authority.
If tbe company may charge what it pleases,
then the road is not a public highway, the
public has no rights in it at all, and tbe
charter which authorizes the taking of land
to build it is unconstitutional and void.
These principles were stated by Judge
Baldwin, in Bouaparte against the Camden
and Amboy railroad company. (1 Bald.,
Rep. 252 ) You will find a more extended
discussion of them by the supreme court of
Pennsylvania, in Casey against the Erie and
Northeast railroad company. (2 Casey's
Rep., 287.) I do not think they are opposed
by any high authority, bat no doubt they
have often been overlooked in judicial
decisions and forensic arguments.
. THE RAILROADS BEING PUBLIC PROPERTY,
in which all the people have equal rights,
and tbe companies that run them being
public agents. It is absurd to say that the
state haa no right to regulate and control
them in the performance of their functions
by such laws as will prevent partiality,
plunder and extortion. This is a power of
which no free state can disarm itself by any
act of its indicia!, legislative or executive
officers. They could ss lawfully sell the
state out ai d out, and deliver op the entire
population to sack and pillage. But are
their hands. They submit, of coarse, ms all
other classes of industrious people submit
to similar impositions. Common justice
imperatively requires that freights be fixed,
settled and prescribed by law, and that the;
be not changed at the mere will of the rail
road companies. But the discrimination?
which make the rates unequal are the most
odious feature. A grain dealer at Baltimore
gets a reduction or drawback which is de
nied to others, and he makes a fortune for
himself while he ruins his competitors by
underselling them. A single mill at
Rochester can stop the wheels of ‘all the real
if its flour be carried at a rate much lower
BT DISCRIMINATION OF THIS KIND
the profits of one coal mine may be quad
rupled, while another, with all its fixtures
and machinery, is rendered worthless.
Such wrongs a* ibeseare done, not only in
a few sporadic generally "and
habitually on a very Targe scale. Certain
oil men, whose refinery was on Line Island,
got rebates amounting to $10,000,000 in
eighteen months, and seventy-nine houses
(I believe that is the number) engaged in
the ume business were broken up. The
creditors of the Reading railroad, having
coal lands of their own nude discrituiua
tions between themselves and others which
drove all competition out of the field, gave
them the monopoly of the Philadelphia
market, and enabled them to charge for their
coal as they charge for their freight—what
ever they pleased. Thus producers, dealers
and consumers all suffer together. Worse
still than that, the prosperity of large
communities is blighted by the. refusal
of the railroads to carry tbe products of
their forms, gardens and ahops unless the;
submit to the payment of rates rnucL
larger than wkat are charged on similar
goods from other regions much further
away from the common market
The case you mention of $4 from New
York to Salt Lake, and only $2 50 to San
Francisco, is perhaps not the most Un
righteous, but u is as gross a violation of
legal principle ms can be conceived. If the
railways belong to the people, then the
rights of all citizens are precisely equal,
and ail discriminations are unlawful
Without reference to the public right of
property, they are so shamefully imperious
in their general effect, and in
their particular consequences that
no well-governed state will endure them.
These railroad at>d transportation compa
nies connect themselves with every
thing. Tbe promotion of commerce,
internal and foreign, and interests of buyer
and seller, Ihe rights of producer and cm-
tumei, the needs of the poor and the pros
perity of the rich, all ory aloud for some
system of management which will compel
them to do the duties they owe to the pub
lic faithfully, at rates reasonable, fixed, uni
form aud equal,.withoutextortion, without
wanton charges) without discrimination.
The laws necessary for this purpose are not
difficult to frame. If you will look at the
constitution of Pennsylvania as amended in
1873 you will find in the seventeenth sec
tion a series of provisions which, if carried
out and enfc reed, would be amply sufficient.

Am Important Opinion on ss Impor
tant Subject—Jndge J. K Block Pro-
sxonneen tbe State Proprietor, and
the KJghifnl Regulator of Trans
tailon Tolls.
Tbe New York chamber of commerce in
August last addressed to prominent men in
various parts of tbe country a circular ask
ing their opinions on some of the chief
points involved in the problem of railroad
transportation. A series of questions were
asked, among which were- these: How can
the prevailing discriminations against iodi
will bear?” Ought not tbe companies to be
supervised in tbe public interest, as bonks
and insurance companies are, and for more
pressing reasons? What do yon think of
companies and managers contributing large
sums of money W election expenses or to
not tbe franchises pro]
com

scribed, uniform, leasonable rate of toll
Irom all persons alike, according to the use
they make of the road, is a power that the
state may bestow upon any person, natural
or artificial. But no lawful franchise to
take toll on a public highway can exceed
those limits. A charter that goes beyond
this is void. These coiflpauies will oppose
any effort to bring them down to a reasonable
rate with lbs argument that such a reduc
tion is a violation of the contract between
them and tbe state. But on tbe principle
idge Baldwin in the case
1 a charter is inoperative
which authorises a maximum of tcli or fare
to high that the company is able without
exceeding it to exclude the people from
using their own road. In tbe granger cases,
from Iowa and Wisconsin the bargain was
that the companies might fix. their own
rates. But thesupr ;rae court of the United
States held that a subsequent law to restrain
them within reasonable limits was no vio
lation of tbe original contract. This principle
*\ plies to a company whose maximum rate
is unreasonably nigh, because such a rate is
pract-cally thesame thing as no* limitation
The conclusion that all
railroad corp rations in the
country may be constitutonally
restrained to reasonable and just charges
is not merely drawn from the fact that rail
roads are public highways. If they owned
the corpus of the road and used it in the
business of a common carrier they might be
compelled to behave themselves justly to all
their customers, and submit to any regula
tion for tbe public good. The unanswera
ble opinion of Chief Jnstice Walie in Munn»
vs. Illinois (Otto 4, p. 113) settles that The
reasonableness of tue freight tolls or taxes
that may be charged upon any railway will
def end on the expeuses of running and
repairing it and on the cost of construction.
The latter will, of course, be the principal
element in the calculation, for the tolls
ought to be high enough to give tbe corpo
rators a fair profit on the capital they have
actually invented But many of theae
corporations have issued large amounts of
stock and mortgage bonds for which the
holders have paid nothing, or much less
than their nominal value. Another way
shares are divided among them
selves without putting a new dollar into
the business. Of course nobody' thinks
that the real cost of tbe rood is to be meas
ured by* the nominal amount of those
bonds and shares. It is easy for a compe
tent engineer to tell how much any road
ought to cost, supposing tbe work to be
honestly done and liberally paid for. That
being ascertained, you hare tbe true basi*
of a calculatiorewhich will abow bow much
the tolls ought to be. Most of our western
roods were built with the proceeds of pub
lic lands granted mediately or immediately
by the United States to the several compa
nies which now have them in charge. They
did not really cost tbe stockholders any
thing, and in some cases they got lands
worth a great deal more than all the ex
penses of making, stocking and running
the roods.
The two companies between Omaha ard
Sin Francisco raised in cash out of govern
ment bonds, lands and mortgages of their
franchises four or five times as much as
they neesaaorihr expended upon tbe roods.
The stockholders, without paying any
thing, put tbfe enormous surplus into
their pockets. These roads thus
built at tbe public expense,
aud in some cases paid for by the public
fire times over, are now
claimed as the private pioperty
*the companies, and the right of the
public to use them as highways is utterly
denied; nevertheless, I think the eJrnim of
these companies to take rearanable tolls

that all the states have a clear aud inde

performed th^rinteroal trade of each state

is now. But the commerce between the
states will still be open to inequalities and
liable to oppression and plunder by trans
portation companies, unless tbe na
tional legislature does something
to save it. Congress has power
•'to regulate commerce between the
states." Is it not strictly within the scope
of that authority when it makes a law f
bidding carriers through the states to
jure, impede, or destroy the general trade
of the country by extravagant aud discrimi
nating charges? If that be not a regulation
of inter-state commerce what would bet
Tbe power being conceded, an effectual
mode of righting the wrong now complained
of can easily be devised. Doubtless you are
right in tbe belief that public opinion will
be in favor of your movement. Reflecting
men cannot deny its justice. But tbe influ
ence of these great corporations can hardly
be calcu’ated. They have methods of de
fence and Offence which make them almost
invincible. You have referred to portions
of their history which proved thu. Some
of the state governments are literally sub-

organization and much labor to reduce
them. Undisciplined miliiia iu the open
