Sen'itor V:isson of Franklin introduced
a bdl today to materially teduee
the fees and perquisites of
count' oflicers. It will piobably
cause an invasion and irruption of county
officials all over the state. It proposes to cut
down the talary of county treasurers from
$1,000 to $0,000. Registers of deeds get
ting $,5,000 arc to have fees to the amount
of 2,000; above that sum, one half goes
to the register and the other h.ilf into the
treasury. For recording deeds instead of
receiving 2.1 cents per folio, the present
rate, they are to receive ten cents per
folio.

hold their kingdom, but when they struck
for the northwest the Xew England ire
and puritanic grief of President Adams
was aroused, lie means business. That
splendid news item of a column in the
Eagle in advance of slow coiemporaries
about the filing of charters for thirteen
new railways in Kansas was a most signiC
cent announcement.
IT WAS A rAHALYZEK
In tail wry circles and Solicitor "Williams'
office in this city was througed with com
mittees wanting to secure some of the good
things these roads are going to secure for
tho people of Kansas, lie is flooded with
letters and petitions. This great battle
that vc are entering upon in 1887 is to be
fought out in camp and council, on the
fields and in the courts of law. "We are
on thfe eve of the greatest legal battle ever
fought in the west and the greatest race
for railroad building, surpassing even the
brilliant venture in 1871 of Col. Bob
Stevens and Jas. F. Joy down tho Xeosho
vallej', in their race for the Indian tenitor .
Tliis great legal conflict will test most
severely the legal adroitness and
acumen of the accomplished solicitor
of the Santa Fe, George R. Peck, and the
sound legal qualities and learning of Solic
itor Williams.
The people alone are to be benefitted by
this stupendous conflict. They have no at
torneys to ay. They care little who gets
the first blood or the worst blood. What
they want is the building of the roads.
They are gratified at the addition of 1,500
miles wf railroad to the state in 1886. They
would like to see 2,000 miles added to the
grand aggiegate in 1887. They wouldn't
slc o00 miles added if the too conservative
and cautious policy of the governor should
now be invoked.

There will be much attempted "legisla

like business management in the control ot
our state institutions. To this end Mr.
Faulkner has prepared a bill with gieat
rate, and in the mar future I hope to give
it much attention as its merits undoubted
ly demand.
The Woman's Suffrage association are
loaded for bear. They are running their

Senate.
VAsniXGTOX, Jan. 13. Among the
memorials presented and referred were the
following:
By Mr. Jones, of Nevada: Relative to
the claim of John Roach.
By Mr. Cullom: From Peoria, Ills., and
from Philadelphia, in favor of the inter
state commerce bill, particularly of the
pooling and short aud long haul sections.
Bills were reported from committees and
placed on the calendar :is follows:
By Mr. Hoar, fiom the library commit
tee: For the ereetion of a monument to ue
gro soldiers and sailors who gave their
lives to the preservation of the government.
By Mr. Plumb, from the public laud
committee: To extend the laws to unor
ganized territories south of Kausas.
By Mr. Brown, Irom the committee on
railroads: House bill for the settlement of
accounts with the Mobile & Ohio railroad
company.
Mr. Morgan introduced, by request, a
bill to authorize the Cherokee, Creek,
Choctaw, Chicasaw and Seminole Indians
to bring suits in certain United States
courts relating to the condemnation of
their property for public use. Referred.
The senate took up the resolution
offered yesterday by Mr. Vest directing
the secretary of the treasury
to furnish a full, complete statement by
itemized account of all money paid out on
account ot prosecutions of criminal cases
in state courts by federal officials of the de
partment from July 1st 1879 to December
1st, 188U, with a list of ollici.ds, agents or
emplo es engaged in such persccuti ns, the
amount paid them and for what specific
set vice, e'c.
Mr. Vest stated, in reply to Mr. Ed
munds (who had moved to refer the resolu
tion to the judiciary committee), that it had
1 1, St Louis KepuijHea,,;3 referring to
been based upon a ashington dispatch to
suit brought by Bl'ss in the court of claims
for ii:ci disallowed by Comptroller
Durham.
Mr. Ingalls stated that a like resolution
had been sent to him witu request that hu
offer it; that he had declined to do so
without fuither explanation,; and that he
had received a letter which convinced him
that the underlying motive was a personal
one to redress a personal grievance.
The resolution was modified according
to the urgestifn ot 3Ir. Edmunds, and it
was then adapted
On motion of Mr. Grav the senate bill
to pay M C. Mordecai' S37.991 in full
enmpcusntion for carrying the mail Irom
Charleston, S 0 , to Havana, Cuba, be
tween October, lis.lO, and July, 1860, was
j UIKCU up nuu paseu.
I he senate then, at 1:1U, resumed con
sideration of the conference report on the
inter-state commerce bill.
Tlu report having been read in full, Mr
Hoar moved that the senate disagree to the
repoit and insist on it former action, and
request further conference.
Mr. Cullom claimed that his motion to
agree to the report took precedeuce of the
motion to disagree.
Mr. Harris, one of the conferees, desired
every senator to realize the fact that when
he voted on the question of agreeing or dis
agreeing to this report, he was voting in
effect, on the question :is to whether there
should be any legislation on the subject
during thi-s congrcs-.
Mr. Hoar characterized Mr. Harris
statement as extraordinary and appealed
to the senate not to submit to that kind of
threat. Here was a bill which embodied
four great salutory propositions on which
the senate and house ot representatives and
the American people were subt-tautially
agreed, and the senate was now told that
ncne of these things should be accomphtis
ed ules there w engrafted on the bill
what wsts a departure from the great doc
triae of reasonableness; unless there was
engrafted on it the principle against which
customers and not railroads interested in
the carrying trade were protected, oa the
ground " thai the inevitable effect of it
wouhl be to put up freights and make
large branches of business now carried on
successful and profitable, impossible in the
future.
31 r, George advocated the adoption of
the report. He sbA he had no doubt the
effect of the legislation would be to incroaae
freitrht rates temporarily, not beeaa,e that
was the legitimate reult of it, but because
j railroad companies Kouh! make it the occa
sion of unnecussnr;' nod unjust raLsing of
grass.
.Mr. Hoar "War?
Mr. George Becaue. after the eitreme !
concessions made by coogreas oa each side,
if this reasooable report (mw4i fairer to
the railroads than to ibepoople; be rcjocteri,
no further concessions Cain be made.
Mr Hoar Does the senator mean to sv
tbat .f R of Uw fe of
0nJoa ih al f naA hhun hial
L is kbmTd.vttT raie the rates fnoi
i only temporarily but permanently, and
will defeat the purposes of toe bill, any
member of either hu-e will refuse to vole
! for ail other excellent Jec slatJon iwhich he
companies, as soon n thi bill becoraes a
law, by ;df sorts of trick and maneuvers
to raise the rates unreasonably, unjustly,
and to charge that to this bill every e5bft,
device and trick will be rusortwl to by
railroad companies for the purpose of
bringing into disrepute legislation on this
subject.
Mr. Frye gave notice that he would
move to recommit the report with instruc
tions aud claimed that tho motion would
take precedence over the other two mo
tions.
Mr. Evarts then addressed the senate in
opposition to the report. Mr Evans said.
The bill had been properly designated "an
act to regulate commerce," not u ""regu
late inter-state commerce." He denounced
the bill as uuconstitutiou.-d aud as utterly
inconsistent with the basis ou
which the constitution lodged in
the federal government jurisdic
tion over the subject of commerce
The constitution was framed to form a
more compact union, to establish justitv
aud to ensure domestic tranquility ; but ihe
effect of this bill would be iu its teiideneies
to make the union les.s pe'rfect, to disrsiah
lish iusticr and lo ensure domestic di curd
Every decision of the supreme court on
tills subjvet had been to remove unpeitl
ments to commerce and to insist on abso
lute equality; but the pending measure
would interfere with the freedom and
equality of commerce, and the rvason
which denied to the states the power to do
so were also reasons why the same power
should be denied to the federal govern
ment. Outside of the fdhrth and fifth see
tions the bill v. as in the nature of a regula
tion of commerce, and projerIy belonged
to the sphere of law making; but these
sections were adhered to to form law mak
ing ,and were an attempt to lay down rules
of transportation not recognized by the
laws of commerce.
For limise-lf he had no personal interest
in the matter, he had no bias; he had only
a conviction of the injury which the.se two
sections would produce 0 1 commerce. For
aught he kuew they might injure rail
roads, might cripple them, but, if so, it
would be" because thev wouhl injur.- ami
cripple commerce Stra-iu ntion of com
merce for the purpose of eeretsin a eon
striction on railroads would be the sheerest
folly iu the world. It was to the interest
of railroads that commerce should be
developed, not restrained; that, its system
should le increased and its freedom tin
hampered. As the views of the New York
chamber of commerce had been printed in
the record and had probably been read bv
senators, he would not now occupy time in
reading them, but he wouhl direct alien
tiou to the views submitted to the sctmte
by other commercial bodies of the couu
trj The Peoria board of trade had
adopted resolutions unanimously declaring
that such radical and experimental legM.i
tion was not only uncalled for, but would
produce widespread disaster to the moil
vital interests of the western Mates
The Minneapolis board of trade had a Wo
unanimously adopted resolutions approving
of the general principles of the bill but op
posimr the fourth and fifth sections as de
structivc to the interests of the dutinotively
agricultural sections ot the country, lie
thought that the opinions- of such coninwr
cial bodies should have weight on congress,
and he intimated that if politi",d reasons
were operating on the votes to be given,
their effect might prove to be aUvoree
rather than favorable Coming dwn to
the question of pooling, he asked whether
the senate was ready- to siiy tint an equal
i.ition and uniformity of rates should not
b allowed? They all knew tjm poolimr
did produce uniformity anil Hiabihty and
that the question were most important in
the interest of shippers; this vurv qutsKttou
was nrtw at the bolt- m of the. 1 olil c il agt-
tat'ou iu Great Britain and Ireland. The
commerc" of the United State, unre
