VALIDITY OF RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
rilß FIUST CASE TO HE PASSED Olt Of THE SU-
PREME COURT.
There io yet a probability that the United
States Supreme Court will bo called upon to
decide the roiiroad question this winter. LaM
Octoberfhe Court refused to advance thoWis
conflln case upon tho docket, although tho coun
sel both on behalf of tho Stale and the Hallway
Company urged the importance of an immediate
decision. Doth parties wore anxious lo have
their tights dollncd by tho ultimate authority.
The issue is about to bo determined in a Min
nesota case. It is on tbo docket for this term,
and la likely to bo reached next mouth. Tho
»aae la known na the Winona St St.' Peter
Railroad Company va. Blake. It presents
innately for determination the right of
the Legislature of Minnesota lo prescribe arbi
trary rales of fare and freight for tho railroads
of Hint Btato. no clause to that effect being cou
tnlnfcd iu tin Constitution whun the charters
wroio emoted. . , , .
Behoving U had this absolute right, the Legis
lature of Minnesota, in 1871, passed a raw estab
lishing maximum rates of faro and freight for
the various railroads of tho Btato. Tho com
fianlcs declined to conform their tariffs to tho
tvw, whereupon John 1), Blake, a merchant of
Kochostor, Minn., resolved to test tho validity of
tho law. Tor this purpose ha shipped » small
consignment of goods from Chicago to Bochos
tcr. At Wiuouft tho Winona A Br. Holer Hail
road Company paid tho advance charges, and,
on delivering tho goods at Rochester, de
manded iH as freight from Mmomu
Blako tendered 57 cents,—tho rate fixed
by-law,—but. tho Company refusing to deliver un
til its specified Bum was paid, suit waa com
menced in tho State District Court to recover
possession of the poods. A jury trial was waiv
ed, and, upon an agreed Btato of facts, tho ac
tion was tried by tho court. Judgment was
given for tho Hail wav Company, whereupon plain
tiff appealed to tho Supreme Court, where tho
Judgment of the Court below was reversed and
the constitutionality of tho law affirmed. The
Company than took an cupcal to tho United
States Supremo Court. Tho caao was entered
on tho docket about two years ago, and is ex
pected to bo in tbo February call.
Tho Winona & St. Fetor Hailroad being owned
by tho Chicago St Northwestern Hallway Com
pany. that Company will prosecute tho appeal.
The Hod. B. O. Cook, General Solicitor, ami
Judge C. B. Lawrence, of this city, will nreuo
tho case for tho Hallway Company. On behalf
of tho appellee, th« Attorney-General of Minne
sota will doubtless appear, with associate
counsel. ...
In viow of tho fact that the law m question
Wan found Inoperative, and was repealed by tho
©oo passed last winter, which, iu tarn, is ex
pected to lio thrown aside for a now statute, and
tho further consideration that tho balf-a-dozeu
railway companies in tho State can hardly pay
running executes,—two being hopelessly in tho
binds of Receivers,—it is evident that tho couunel
for tho Railway Company will ho hi position to
make a strong plea against restrictive legis
lation.
THE WEST WISCONSIN,
cnxnou op orncßiis ov tub bom>.
A few days ago it was announced that the West
Wisconsin Hallway Company bad defaulted iu
the payment of their interest. Had tbo bond
holders pressed tboir claims, tbo road would
doubtless bavo passed into tbo bands of a He
coivor. Tbo result has boon simply a change of
olilcors. Mr. 11. 11. Porter, of this city, is said to
bavo been elected President, and Col. J. 11. Howe,
: of Konoeba, Vice-President and General Man
ager. Tbo subordinate officers of tbo Company
■ remain unchanged.
TUo road, which Is comparatively new, forms,
’ In connection with tim Chicago A Northwestern,
i a through lino to St. Paul. It has PJ7 miles of
mail) lino, with two branches,—from Hudson to
: BlUlwator. 0 miles, and from Hudson to
i Ilichmoncl, 40 miles long,—making a total of
i 2240 miles. The old oilicora also comprised the
\ North Wisconsin Hallway Company, which is on
| doavoring to build a lino from tit. Croix llivor or
t Lake to Hayfleld, on Lake Superior, in consider
i ailon of receiving tho major portion of the
D. famous tit. Croix land-grant. Tbo terms of tbo
■} grant required tho building of 40 miles <>f
road within tbo past year, and 20 miles each
subsequent year until tho wbolo is completed,
Tbo completion of tho first 40 miles of road
was to entitle the Company to 620 sections of
land, and for each additional 20 miles of
road patents lor 200 sections of land were to be
Issued.
The Company complied with the terms of the
grant, Gov. Taylor accepted the work, and
•stood to inane certificates, when Atty.-Qon.
‘Williams pronounced his opinion that the
title to the lauds bad reverted to the United
States by failure to comply with the provisions
of its cession to tho State within tho time epeci
dtal. It is thought probable that the olforts to
construct tho laud-grant road, and tho cloud
fiince raised on the title to (he lauds, together
with tho general stagnation in business and the
etringont enforcement of tho Potter law, om
itiarrassed the late officers, and precipitated their
retirement.
t The new officers will give strength to the
[enterprise. Mr. Porter is General Manager of
'the Chicago A: Northwestern Hallway, and Col.
jfowe is well known throughout Wisconsin,
Slaving at an early ago been Attorney-General,
and, until last month, Uuitod|Btatos Judge lor

MISCELLANEOUS.
KTEEL RAILS.
One important result of the many costly im
provements made by the loading railway com
panies within tuo past two years is, that Reckon
rails are now comparatively rare. Before that
time they wore so common on all Western roado,
during the Bovnro season, as to render traveling
extremely hazardous. One Chicago company
two winters ago bad over 100 broken rails
during n single cold snap. They la
bored under tno disadvantage of having
lo operate with worn-out Iron rails. The fact
was, tUo Iran rails turned out wore bo Inferior in
quality that the larger* companies could not af
ford to continue making renewal with iron.
Economy obliged them lo invest largely in steel,
and it Is safe to assault that already their sub
sequent Immunity from accidents caused by
broken rails has more than compensated them
for the additional expense of procuring steel.
Bo evident is tho saving that, despite tho
stringency in money matters, the railway com
panies have arranged for extensive deliveries of
stcol-rall next spring and summer. Borne West
ern companies purpose laying over 10.000 ton*
of steel next season. It is quite probable that,
by next foil, the throe linos branching from this
city to Omaha will bo entirely laid with steel as
far went as tho Mississippi.
Groat progrosfl has recently boon made in flleel
manufacture. There is now practically no choice
between the stool rails made in Europe and the
Eastern Btatcs and at our Wcsturn mills. The
only fear on the part of tho railroad men is.
that tho manufacturers, having learned how to
turn out a splendid quality of stool, will soon
allow it to deteriorate, as they did in ttio case of
Iron rails; fur it is well known that the iron
roiled out a dozen years ago was far wore
durable than the present ordinary stuff.

A DECISION AFFECTING THE CHARTERS or ALL COB
PORATIOKSIN MINNESOTA EXCEIT THOSE FORMED
FOR MUNICIPAL PURPOSES.
Sbteuil Disixitch U Thf. Chicao" Trth’in*.
Bt. Haul, Jan. 11. —Iu the Bialo isuprcmo
Court to-day. a decision was filed in the case of
Oakes aud Oliver Amos, executors of William h.
Ames, vs. Tho Lake Superior .t Mississippi Hall
road Company. This suit was originally brought
by Ames to restrain tho Company from condemn
ing certain lands, on the ground, among others,
that the Company’s charter was unconstitutional,
Tbo Company was created by an assumed amend
ment of tha Territorial charter of the Nebraska
>k Lake Buperior Company. This Court de
clares it to bo ropiignaiit to tbe second section
of tbo tooth article of tho Btato CoimUtu
iiou, which provides ihni no corpora
tion shall be formed under special acts
except for municipal purposes. The opinion,
prepared by ex-Justice Young, whoso turm ex
pired to-day, is a long and exhaustive treatment
of tho imbjoct-maiter, and is pronounced incon
trovertible by leading members of tho liar hero.
Its effect* may bo wideHpread. It loaves tho
Company without any exclusive or special privi
leges, and itH stockholders pcrsomuly liahlu for
tho dohts of the Company. Bull worse, ami
more, every State Company nv operating under a
charter supposed to have been created by a Ter
ritorial Leirislature, but, like this, received and
remodeled by tho State Legislature, the only
difference being that most of tho amended
charters retained the original corporators, while
the Lake Superior & Mississippi chaili-r re
tained only three of tho original twenty-six cor
porators.
Mr. Caulfield Intends Running— Ills
Reasons Therefor.
In lees than two weeks the special election to

John B. Rico will bo bold. It has always been
understood, though without any definite reason,
that Air. Caulfield would bo the Democrat who
would run. The term of ofllce is bo short that
it has been considered questionable whether any
Republican of prominence would core to spend
his money for the sake of securing three weeks of
Congressional honors, audUioevoilasting title of
"Honorable." None of those gentlemen who
wore candidates before the Republican Conven
tion last October have manifested the slightest
inclination to again enter the field, and tho Re
publican Central Committee has, therefore, been
compelled to look around for aa available candi
date. It wai intimated in Tuu Tuinu.vn Sunday

Mr. Klmbark’s Candidacy
MR. OKOIUJE M. KIMnAIUI
was to bo the coming man, and it is now known
that a committee waited upon him Saturday, and
asked him if ha would accept tho nomination If
tendered ; bo which Mr. Kimbark replied that ho
would, if tho matter “ could ho satisfactorily
arranged." This meant that Mr. Kimbark de
sired to ascertain Mr. Caulfield's intentions. If
that gentleman designed running, Mr. Kimbark
had no desire to contest the election with him.
If, however, Mr. Caulfield aid not care about the
matter, thou Mr. Kimbark was perfectly willing
to mii>
Mr. Klmbark was to have held a conference
yeatorday afternoon with Mr. Jl. E, Ooodoll, iu
order to ascertain Mr. Caulliald’H intentions, and
tcfiimliy decide whatlio would do in reference
to tbe subject. Owing to the inability of tlio
gentlemen Vo moot, Uio conference was poet*
ponod till tide morning.
UR. CAULFIELn.
In order to ascertain Mr. Caulllold'a intentions
more doliuitcly, a reporter called upon lum at
the Pacillo ilolbl yesterday afternoon, and auk**«i
him point-blank whether ho purposed being a
candidate, lie replied that ho proposed to audio
ttio race, whether he was put in nomination or
not, and. that it was hie intention to light
any man who trout into the hold
against him. lie said that hie motives
in seeking an election to an oilico which
lasted but for three weeks wore not iu the
slightest degree of a partisan character; ho did
not mu merely and simply os the representative
of the Democracy, but for other reasons, lie
bcliuvod that it was tor the benefit of tho First
Congressional District and his constituents that
ho should go to Washington for this uu
oxpirod term, siuoo his residence there,
short though it would bo, would give
him opportunities to make acquaintances with
members, and would practically give him rank iu
the ueit Congress as a now member, thus en
abling him to got on more important committees
than a now member would bo apt to, &ud there
by putting him in a position where ho could
nmder groat service to this city. Any person
who was sent there simply to fill the uuezpired
portion of Mr. lUce'u term could bo of no bone

AMUSEMENTS
THE NEW A DELPHI.
The opening of tbo Adolpbl Theatre—the old
IWOfrico budding—last evening was wituessed
by about tho largest audience Chicago has over
seen. The main floor and three galleries, In
other words “ from pit to dome,” wore thronged
by boys and men, with a very few women sand
wiched between, and looking rather out of placo
in tho immense gathering. Timid people
began to wonder whether the lire
tried walls would stand the tre
mendous pressure; but tho renovated build*
iug remained as Arm as some massive Norman
castle, nor did the stamping and shouting of the
highly-elevated unwashed cause it to vibrate In
tho least.
There it as some delay in the lifting
of the curtain, tUo interval being lilled with
soma very fair music by (be orchestra. Public
confidence was fully restored when, la the
opening iweuo, tlio full company ap
peared upon tlio stage, while Brock Sic-
VlcUar, Kb<\., the Spenser of (Ue hydraulic
departmeuk of the city, emerged from
the hindmost regions of the sconce, and strode
lightly os a fawn to the footlights, where he
proceeded to read what was termed "adodica
toriat poem" pertinent to the occasion. Sir.
SloVlokar's classic production was rapturously
applauded by appreciative citizens who wore near
enough to hear him, but tbo democracy in the
tipper tiers suggested that ho hod better
repair bis bellows, sit down on the
floor, “cheese it,” aud other polite iu
▼nations far beyond tbo poets power to
accept. Hiss Emma Wells, aided by tbo com
pany, attempted the “ Star-Spangled Banner,"
which was not an absolute success. The drop
curtain was then allowed to roll down, displaying
rather a pretty emblematic picture of Chicago,
standing by a cross aud lookirtgj with cheerful
countenance, oo the soa of llamo from which
Hope bade her hope to rise wore glorious than
before.
The Poat-Offloo Department, headed by don.
McArthur and Mr. Squires, occupied one.of tho
lower ioxea, while, iu Juxlapouitiuu, gleamed the
jolly face of Commisaiouer lluyue, who waa aur
rouudod by a crowd of uotablea. Many promi
nent citizomt woro scattered through tbe audU
unco, and stood tho thing out like tuou of buai
ueaii.
Sir. Grover, the manager, and Ur. Hume, tbo
architect, were both loudly called for, and re
sponded by appearing before the curtain aud
making a semi-genuflexion. Mr. Grover re
quested the boys, who were whistling like a pale
of wind, to keep quiet, and they would have “ a
poo! show." The manager was dressed a la
George Francis Train, in swallow-tail blue coat
and brass buttons.
Mr. Groror's promise was fairly fulfilled, that
is considering the opening-night. " Tito Law
yer's Clerk” waa stupid enough. to be sure, but
it passed for the time, Miss Maggie Gray ban
a lino form, but paints tbe roi*o too much, and
In not happy in her vocal selections. Tim gym
nastic performances of Prof, Faust and bis
two little bovs caused some enthusiasm.
Bam Ueverc, the solo-singer and baujoist. is
good enough when he does not swear, aud toll
stones unfit to bo heard by sars polite, all of
which Sir. Grover should check without further
delay. Mr, Ucvero may have lived in some
rough places, hut when he comes into a civilized
community he should cease to be a barbarian.
Walters and Merton, song and dance men. were
quite funny, although they exhibited nothing
that was really novel. Minn Wcsoer looks well
in mule attire, and has a passable voice. The
sword and sparring performances of Monsieur
and Madame JJ'Omer looked risky, and took well
with the audience. Curry, the gymnast, perform •
ed Homo voiy difficult feats in a 'grßccfiil'niamter.
Charley Howard as “ Old Shady ” showed his
UHiial talent for Klhiopiamsm of an ancient
chara'der. The Worrell rihtois and Mr. George
K. Fiut'scup, aided by the company, closed
the performance wita the burlesque of “Cin
derella.”
.Mr. Grnrer. svnryihlng considered. may bo
congratulated eu his opening uuccmh.

EEN DE BAR AS
Savon years have passed since a Chicago audi
ence gathered to boo Jack FaMoff face to face
upon the stage, and not a very large one was
present at McVickcr's last evening—a circum
stance not specially wonderful considering
the counter-attractions. The welcome given
Pen Dollar last evening was, consequently,
not very warm upon his first appearance*
Before the first scene was ever, however, ha had
kindled his audience into a genial glow of good
humor, and from thence onward held them with
out an effort. Tbe exigencies of space prevent
a very extended notice ef the performance, which
may bo Bummed up as both heartily enjoy
able and artistic in the most praisewor
thy degree. Mr. lie Bar's conception
of the charac . is foliations in the
extreme. With all bis knavery, poltroonery, and
selfishness, Jack Falslajf't ready wit and un
quenchable humor are palliating circumstances,
aud win the good-will of the spectator, in addi
tion to these qualities, which find capital ex
pression in Mr. XJo Bar’s acting, there is an air
of failed refinement in it winch is singularly cap
tivating. Ills courtly treatment of JJame (jxiictc,
aud las graceful manner, are remnants of days
of more than respectability, and recall the oti- ,
quotloof court Utc rather than the harum-scarum
adventures on the luus’s highway, and the rois
tering nights at tho tavern- It is full of spirit
and flavor; unctuous in ita humor, mid rich m
that supgcHtivcncss of merriment that “is
the cause of wit in others." Tbe support
is not remarkably good, but will bo improved
this evening. Wo hope to have another oppor
tunity of speaking of the performance, which
wo cordially commend to all lovers of finished
Shaksncoroan coraedv. •* Henry IV.” will be re
lated to-night, and to-morrow and .Saturday
nights. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” will bo
givcu tho rest of the week.
