In reference to the dillicullien between
the legislature of Went Virginia nnil the
Baltimore &Ohio railroad, in the matter
of popular complaint about high tolls on
the local biminem of the road, it maj bo
mill that tlio true policy in to arrive at a
compromise of nome ?ort. The railroad
ouipany claim that they are iron-clad in
the matter of their chartered privilege*,
ami from *uch examination a* we have
given the matter, by tho aid of ackno*|?
eiJgi-d legal ability, we are of the opinion
that they coubl micce**fully defy thu I*g-[

ever of llio future j?r??wll? and overshadowing
importance of the railroads of
the United Slates, just :i< in the Kendal
ages of Knglaml, prior to the enactment
of the Mortmain statutes, tho safety ami
very existence of society writs threatened
bj the magnitude and grasping power of
corporations, so much so as to call at
last for the most radical measures.
So far as wo have informed ourselves,
the mischief to West Virginia people
along the line of the I1.AO. was not done
hy its original charter, hut hy the general
railroad law of Virginia enacted in 1SI57,
under the provisions, regulations and
privileges of which law the 1?. &0. was
placed hy the act (of 1817) that empowered
it to complete its line from CumberI
md t? the I >hio river at Wheeling. This
law of 18117 empowered the railroads ol
Virginia to charge six cents per mile for
passengers (theold stage fair) and Scents
per mile per ton for freight. In 18.17 it
wai considered cheap enough to get
freight transported for eight cents per
ton per mile, for it was computed that it
co:t twenty cents per ton per mile to
haul it hy road teams. Tho old Virginians
who hauled their tobacco to Lynchburg
and Richmond by running a pole
through a hogshead and putting a pair
of shafts to it, in which a mule was
driven, had hut a dim' idea of the
future of transportation in this
country. They never expected, any
ol them, to live to sco the day in
which fourth class freight would he carried
from New York to Chicago for 15
cent* per hundred pounds. They could
not look through the dim vista of the
future and see the great Lake Shore railroad
carrying freight, through and local,
(as its report shows) during the year 1875,
at an average rate of 1 MOO cents per
ton per mile. Nor could they look forward
to the same year and see the I?. &
0. carrying fourth class freight from
Baltimore to Wheeling nt 11 cents per
hundred, while at the same lime it was
nhnrtMno morn tlm? iwin.i f
Wheeling to (irafton.
ISut, an Mr. Bogies claims, and as the
ancient Shy lock cluiiueil in his day, S
cents per ton per mile i>i "denominated
in the bond," and there in no gainsaying
the fact. And yet there in now, oh then,
that "drop of blood" to bo considered.
The people of West Virginia, along the
line of tho IS. & 0., feel that they tire
mint unuriously dealt with in tho matter
<>f freights by tho B. AO. company. It 1
i* the shortsighted policy of the company,
they say, that keeps the country n wilderness.

Flint Traveling.
It wai announced in yesterday's dispatches
from San Francisco, that the
Australian steamer from Sydney had
arrived at that |>ort with the British
mails two hours after tho departure of
the overland train. Tho mails were put
on a special train, with instructions to
overtake the express train, and by making
close connection at New York next
Wednesday with the stiauier Abyssinia
tor Liverpool, it is expected to deliver
tlie Sydney mail in London in thirty
days.
(There is an error in tho dispatch; it
?hould have read thirty-nino days.)
By consulting the map it will lw seen
that Sydney, Australia, is 7,200 miles
from San Francisco. The distance to
New York from tho latter placo is 3,805
miles, and the distance to Liverpool from
New York 3,225 miles. Tho whole din
tsnce m i:?,8l0milea. ToaccompH*h thin
"i'tance in I?9 day* the mail* must travel
mile* every day from Australia to
Liverpool, or 14} miles per hour night
and day. If this time can ha mado regu*
l,r>y it is quito probable the British
"uiU from Australia will be carried to
Inland by way of San Francisco and
York.

and who pays a good deal of atten.
Vou t? such thing*, thinks that a great
Qture awaits San Francisco as the cen

and the various countries of the far Kant.
Those far Eastern countries, such as
China and India, do business on a silver

silver market of this continent. A

Canton, Yeddu, Singapore, Calcutta, or
any other commercial centre, lias only to

it is on iU way at once, and the house

Mr.Windom, who would have voted in
the allirmative, was paired with Mr. Johnson,
who wonld havo voted in the negative.
Mr. White submitted the following as
au amendment to the resolution referring
the credentials; "And that said committee
report thereon on or before the
first day of November, 1877."
Mr. Mitchell, who is acting chairman
of the committee, said lie waa afraid that
would not give the committe time enough.
Mr. White said the Kellogg case was
referred to tho committee last March;
Sincc then events in Louisiana had erystalizcd,
ho that the whole matter wan now
embraced in a very narrow compass. Ii
should not take the committee longer
than two nr thrrn ilnvM tn uottlp tlm wlinli>
mailer. The chairman of Ihe committee
(Morion) wa* now ill. If tho committee
was entrusted by the Kcnnte the investigation
might I>e postponed until bin recovery.
Mr. Wadleigh Haul if it was exported
by the Senate that the decision of the
Committee on Privilege* and Klcctions
on this subject olioul?l bo final, it was
asking too much ol tlie committee to report
by November 1st. It might be that
lie, a* a member of the committee, would
not come to tho conclusion that the removal
of tho State government
in Ijouisiana bjr military force
could settlo for the Senate the
(mention of who was entitled to a neat
therein, lie did not think the white
league of Louininna, with it? bayonets,
revolvers and guns, could decide for him
who wa? entitled to a neat in the Senate
from that State. Hut for tho pressure of
tho league the Packard government
would liave remained the government,
in fact, an he believed it was in law.
no argueu uini inc proceeding* under
which Kellogg wan elected Senator were
correct in form. The testimony in the
Louisiana ca?o in B|?rend over thousand*
of page*, and the commit tee could not examine
all of it nnd report to tho Senate
by November l?t.
Mr. ICdmund* inquired of the Senator
from Maryland (White) if he had any
knowledge of tho Senate having adopted
a resolution instruding the committee
when to report. Ho (Edmunds) had
been taught to believe that the adoption
of such resolutions would be virtually
an atlront to the committc. The Senate
might an well say the committee should
report at once as to Ray it idioiild leport
by the first of November. Wan it now
thought bent not to inquire anything
about who wan the legally eluded Senator
from Louisiana, but to take the lant chap
who appeared as tho true saint? That
niinUt lui Kill Iia iliil
not agree to it. For any unfile delay of
the committee therft was a provision in
tho rule* of tho Senate which authorized
any Senator at any time to move that
the committee he dmchargedfroni further
consideration of the subject if ho thought
there had been unnecessary delay in considering
it.
Air. Gordon inquired if'any day could
be fixed for the committee toieporton
the credential* of SpoUbrd. [Several
Senators on the Republican side, "No,
none whatever."]
Mr. Thurman said that at no time
since 1873 had the State of Louisiana
more than one Senator on this iloor. He
referred to the various investigations in
regard to that State, and said that now,
after all tlicso years of inquiry, we are
told that this able committee cannot

wan the reason for thin attempt to pout*

there a drenci of a collision upon tho railroad
? If there wan no dread of the

the matter.
Mr. Kdmundn said he did not underntand
what the Senator meant by hin

Mr. Thurman naidhe would never at|
tempt to explain anything to the Senator
from Vermont which any man,of the
mont ordinary comprehension, could underntand.
Such an attempt would be an
instil tto his intelligence.
Mr. Kdmundn naul the Senators on his

of any railroad at all. They always labored
to promote the interest of tho people
according to law, and did not act

Mr. White said lit* intended no disrespect

that it would not he possible for bint to

Senator from Oregon (Mitchell) Vice

Mr. Kdmunds argued that tliin wna the
first instance in the history of the Senate
in which .111 attempt had been nude to
instruct u coiiimitteuto report on an important
question within h given number
of daw.
Mr. Wadleigh saiil that the Committee
on Privilege* and {{lections had examined
the credentials of Mr. Kellogg, nnd
were prepared to report. Mr. Kellogg
had it prima facie case nnd was entitled
to his neat.
Mr. Saulshury fluid: Ah a member of
the Committee on I'rivileges and Elections
he di>! not regard the motion of the
Senator from Maryland to instruct the
committee as an ail'ront; he did not believe
any del ay was necessary to enable
the committee to report by November 1.
It had been fluid that the committee was
prepared to report ill favor of seating
Kellogg, but he desired to state that there
was a minority report to 1m; submitted.

Mr. Conk ling Raid there had licen come
doubt expressed as to whether the credential*
of Kellegg were still before the committee,
and he therefore proposed to add
to the resolution tlie following: The
credentials of Wm.P. Kellogg claiming a
seat m the Senate liaving been heretofore
referred to said commitece and now being
before it. Jtc said he offered this
amendment ho as to make it clearly
manifest to the committee that it should
report on the case of Kellogg as well as
that of Spoflord,
Mr. Thurman Raid the amendment virtually
declared that the 59th rule applied
to the executive sessions of the Senate
alone. He argued that that rule was only
forjthc session of Congress. It provided
that the papers before the committee at
the end of the first session of Congress
should be returned to the respective committees
at the next succeeding session,
but the papera Iteforo the committee of the
Senate during the session, called for executive
business, must be returned to the
Clerk and referred to the committee and
by tho Senate again considered.
After some further discussion, during
which Mr. Conkling said that the high
priests of the Democratic party had been
in session and consulting over this G'Jtli
rule, ho modified his amendment so as
to renti, and me samo committee nliall
also consider the report upon the credential
of Win, 1*. Kellogg. The amendment
was agreed to nnd the resolution
was passed ns amended.
Mr. Thurman then moved that J. P.
Eustis ho Bworn in an Senator from Louisiana
for the term commencing March
4lh, 1S7:?.
Mr. Edmunds #aid there was a privileged
motion on the table and called up
the resolution submitted by him yesterday
to have the Committee on Privileges
and Elections discharged from further
consideration of the credentials of Mr.
Kellogg.
, The Vice President said that was not
a privileged motion. The Senator from
Ohio presented the credentials of Mr.
Eustis. lie then inquired if the credentials
had been nresentetl heretofore, and.
being informed that they had, decideu
that unfinished business, being the resolution
of Mr. lvlinunds, had precedence.
Mr. Edmunds then, by unanimous consent,
withdrew his resolution.
Mr. Thurman renewed his motion to
have Eustis uworn and proceeded to Plate
the circumstances attending his election,
&e. He claimed that the Senate had decided
that Pinch hack was not entitled to
his seat and therefore there were no credentials
conflicting with thoHe of Kuntin.
Mr. Conkling raised the point of order
that the credentials of Eustis were bofore
the Committee on Privileges ami Elections
and not before the Senate, thereforo
the Senator from Ohio (Thuruian) was
out of order.
Tim Chair pu?taincd the point of order,
and after some fnrther debate in regard
to the rulo the Vico President nut to
the Senate the question whether
all the subjects referred to the committee
of the Senate and not reported at the
close of the last preceding nenuon in
March last remained before the several
committees to which they wero referred,
and it was decided in the atlirmative by
