TBU NEW CIUKr JUSTICE.
Yetterday't dispatches from Wash
ington state (hat the nomination of
.lodge Walt* for Chief Justice tha« far
dnU no opposition, except that the
nominee It unknown. Both Evarta
and Cashing. who served with hire at
Genera, Indorse him cordially, lie It
personally well known to the preeent
Auociate Justices, and wa« Um friend
and poeaeesed the confidence of Chief
Justice Cha«e. In politic* he U a mod
erate Republican, with strong convic
tions, but slight partlaan predilection*.
It la urged by some at an objection,
that he la tbe attorney of certain lead
ing railroads, but hit high moral char
acter and calm Judicial Impasslveness
are urged by lilt friendt at the bett
evidence that on tbe bench he will
have no client but the law. The New
York Ttmm taya, In commenting upon
It, that the nomination of Walt* It a
thoroughly respectable one, and will
probably meet with little opposition
from any quarter. Walte fulfills sev
eral Imperative conditions of the office,
lie la a man ol very high personal
character, recognised ability, anl of
quite sufficient standing In the profes
sion to Justify the belief that lie will
make a good Chief Juttlce. The po*t
cannot have been tendered te hliu on
the specWI recommendation of his ser
vice* at Geneva, for Evarta rendered
atlll greater services; but In noml
natlng Walte the Tresldent has shown
an earne*t desire to discharge a very
difficult duty In a conscientious man
ner, and without reference to the party
or private wWhet of any clique In
Wathlngton oreltewhere.

As of Interest to (he general public.
*nd especially to member* of the legal
professIon, we publish In full the tele
graphic attract of the report of the
House Committee on Railway* and
Canals, which wasyesterday presented
to the Uouse with a substitute for the
House bill to regulate commerce
among the several State*. The com
mittee aay:
Without repeating In detail the pro
vision* ol the bill U Is enough for the
pre«ent purpose to Mjr that It asserts
the right and dntjr of Congress to reg
ulate inter-State commerce a* carried
on by railroad*, and prescribe*, as one
of the regulation* thereof, that the
•harges ol persons engaged In auch
commerce for carrying freight and
passengers *hall. In all case*. be fair
and reasonable. Before a discussion
of the detail* of the bill in the Com
mlttee It wa* necessary to decide firs;
the conatltutlouailty. and next the ex
pediency of *uch a measure. Kir»t, a*
to the Constitutional question : Among
the powers expressly conferred upon
Congress by the Constitution I* the
power to regulate commerce with for
eign nation* and with Indian tribes.
In considering the question whether
under this provision Congress ha*
(tower to pa** the bill retried. It
will be necessary to establish the fol
lowing proposition*: First, that com
merce among the several State*,
which may T>« regulated by Con
gress, Include* commerce carried from
State to Stale by railroads; sec
ond, tii.it to regulate charges for
carrying freight or passenger* upon
Inter-Slate railroads so as to limit them
" I* f«lr and reasonable and pre
vent extoratlon, Is a legitimate exer
cise of the power to regulate such
commerce. In support ol the first pro
position the Committee cites Judge
Koddeld en the I,awol Kail roads; the
"pinion of the Supreme Court, de
livered by Chief Justice Marshall In
the esse of Gibbon vs. Ogden ; Jud-e
Cooley on Constitutional Limitations;
the opinion of the Supreme Court, de*
live red by Justice Miller lu the case of
Grey vs. Cllnion iirldge Company, re
ported b.v the AtHfricin Liu
January 4th, and the recent decision
of the Supreme Court In the case of the
State freight U> (13 Wallace, p. £«,.
which decision* the Comuiltre re
garded as conclusive ol the question
and to establish that the |>owerof Con.
gress extends to all commerce which
concerns more than one State, and that
It ntceiMarllly Includes carrying freight
ami passengers (rom one State to an
other; It reaches and controls that
commerce which Is beyond the reach
or any single State, because not com
pletely Internal with any one Sialo.
she Committee then proceeded to di«.
cuss the second proposition relative to
regulations of tolls, and In its support
cites Chief Justice Marshall In Gib
bous vs. Ogdeo. The question Is not
whether such re.illation Is reasonable
or unreasonable, printer or Improper,
expedient or inexpedient but •luiulr
whether It Is a regulation. If It pre
•crlbes a rule to be followed In carry
Ihg commerce, then It Is a regulation of
commerce. That It does prescribe
such rule I* plain. The rule here pre
scribed Is that lu carrying commerce
upon railroads between points In dlf
ferent States, reasonable rates may be
charged, and not more. The power ol
Congrew upon this subject has no lliti.
itations other than those prescribed in
the Constitution Itself. This opinion.
If correct, as the Committee regard it.
unset the power of Congress over in
teriStnte commerce CO extensive with
the power of the States over their In.
terual commerce, and the right of the
SWte to regulate cliarge* on railroads
within Its territory, the committee
considered settled beyond the iiossibll
Ujr of dispute, and cite numerous de
clslona ol State Court*, and the recent
ii- " °' ^uPfem* Court lu 16
Wallace, page 07$, all of which rule
railroads to be public highways, no
matter by whom constructed, whether
by the Government or private corpora
tion*, or by persons. The authorities
upo'i the (ubject are numerous and
—J
to I tot right to limit by law the charges
of common carrier to such a* (hall be
rea«onable, for they show clearly that
«uch law U limply declaratory ol com
mon law Itself. Tl e Committee nay
(lie power of Congress to charter In
ternal railroad'* I* not Involved In the
pa»«age of the bill reported. It K
however, well settled by the Supreme
Court of the United Slate* that Con
gress may charter a corporation which
l« a neoe**ary or proper Imtrumeut
lor oarrylng Into effect any power*
of the General Government, and if,
therefore, Congre** thould deein It
neceaaary. In the exerclte of tho power
expressly conferred to regulate com
merce among the aeveral State*, to
charter new line* ol railroad* or canal*
a* channel* of auch commerce. It*
power to do *o would aeern clear, the
question being settled that the control
ol a railway .company U subject either
to State or National law. The Com
mittee then proceeded to give reason*
why State law It Ineffectual to control
great trunk Hue*, a* the Jurisdiction of
a State cannot extend beyond It* bor
ders. and the rule* of various States
might so conflict a* to make them Im
practicable. A State might increa*e
rates, and thu« discriminate In lavor
of their own cillxen* and agaln*t those
of other States. The Committee con
cluded that there la no que*tion that
tin National control ol the great trunk
line* leading through the several State*
I* the only power tliat can protect the
people Iroin undue and oppressive ex
action*. A* to the question of expe
ilency, the Committee oomlder that,
beyond doubt or argument, lelief for
existing evil* U absolutely neoe»«ary,
and If It *ImII be settled that Cougre#a
.-annul rurnUh it, the evil which «hall
result can be measured only by the
lelthhne**, avarice and cupidity which
cmu exist In a number of great corpo
rate monopolies combining for their
common Interest and controlled by no
law whatever.
To the rational conclusions attained
>y the Committee, the whole country
will subscribe. They may be briefly
luunned up aa follows: First—1That
he carrying of good* or passengers
rom one State to another, upon rall
oad*. Is • branch of liiter-State com
nerce, and as such may be rcgulsted
ly Congress; this Includes the regula
lou of larva and freights. Second—
That these charge* mutt be reasonable,
.nd the power of Congress to regulate
uch charges has no limitations other
ban thoae prescribed by the Constltu
Ion of tbo United States. In other 1
rorJs, the power of Congreu over lu
•r-Stat* commerce, It coextensive I
rub the power of a State over lu lu- 1
tnial commerce. Third—That the !
Ight of a State to regulate charges on ,
ill roads within Its territory Is settled i
eyond possibility of dispute, uo mat- "
ir whether such railways be construct- I
i by Government, by private corpora
ons, or by persons. Fourth—That If I
It be necessary for t no welfare of the
public, for tlie ber.eflt of inter-State
commcrce, Cong re- a has the right to
charter an Internal railroad. In other
word*, whenever jew channel* of com
merce ftru needed, Congress has the
power (o provide therefor, even to the
extent of chartering the same through
or within the boundaries of anjr State.
Fifth—That the cupidity, selfishness,
and avarice of great corporatlena are
the only measure of the extortion pos
sible to be forced upon the people, un
lesa the foregoing principles be truo
and are applied by appropriate legis
lation.

Utah Divorces.
I'rob»te Court divorce* may be good
enough (or a large class of uuh mar
riages (*o called). but before Congress
confers jurisdiction on these courts lor
that purpose. It should be made known
how these mills turn out decrees In such
case*. It Is. and has been all aloug,
the iiHiial and notorious practice In the
Probato Courts of Utah, to grant di
vorces ex part* and without process.
And It Is a notorious fact that any at
torney, who could get his consent to go
Into tho«e courts with a divorce case,
CMild safely calculate upon getting a
divorce before the end of a week, and
wltheut any service of process upon a
defendant.
To make the matter still easier,
Brlgham Young hat tx-en In the habit
of granting divorces Inttantcr to the
faithful, for $10 cash, and turning them
loose to marry again. One Apostle
declared, In a aertnou, that he would
think no more of taking a new wife
than of buying a cow. N'o wonder
that among such people, marrying and
changing wives Is as trivial a matter as
horae-ewapping among Jeckeya; nor Is
It strange that the King's Bench In
England, expressed a doubt, some
years ago, whether there was such a
thing as marriage In Utah.—Stilt L-\kt
