Hack Charges Om Merchandise

While in Iowa last week we heard
repeated complaints among merchants
about an imposition practiced upon
them under the euisc oi back charges.
They assert that after having contrac-
ted ut New York or Boston for the
transportation Of goods to their dcsti-
nation, when the bill reaches them il
Is materially augmented by7an item
for back charges" cast of Chicago.
We heard the same statement from SO
many different persons that We could
neither doubt its correctness or that
the imposition is extensively practi.cd.
Where the blame lies we are unable
to say, but that the interests both of our
railroad companies, aud OF our forwar-
ding merchants, as well as the general
Goo,hname OF our city, will he subsery-
ed bv the immediate and permanent
discontlnuancc of the grievance, we
are very confident. The complaints
of our Iowa friends are loud and deep.
Let the subject lie looked into by the
proper persons, and the ncccssary re-
form be speedily cffected.-lChicsg o

4 LELlALAI LhE MA 00CT A
LOBBY.

Upon this subject We find the FOL-
lowing paragraph in the Chicago Dem
ocrdtic Press:
Within few days We have actually
seen a Legislature in session which
was not acting under lobby influences.
In fact there was no lobby presenter
if present, it behaved itself SO secmiy
that we were unable to recognize its
ordinary characteristics. We refer to
the Iowa Legislature now in session at
Iowa CITY. Ia both branches there
are but SIX or eight members who have
had any previous legislative experience.
They are not only fresh from their
constituents, but they are actually Of
the people. In listening to their dis
cussions it was quite manifest that
they regarded legislation as a very
serious, weighty and responsible mat
ter. Said a friend, "thcre is no farce
about these men; they are in earnest"
They comprehend, in ali its magni-
tudc, how important was the work in
which they were engaged, aud their
manner, their language, their very
tones and gestures gave evidence OF a
strong desire to meet the responsible
ties OF their position worthily and wise
".
We know not yet the full measure
Of sagacitv which will inform and di-
re t the Iabors of that body this winter
w: believe, however, that i'll this re
ga Il it will compare fa,orably with
OF Ter Legislatures, while in the grand
element OF conscience it seems to loom
far above them.
After STAYING two or three DAYS at
Iowa City, we ceased to wonder on ac
count of the absence of the Third
House. :. The labors OF a lobby would
have been thrown away, and lis brides
srprned with honest Indignation
Nould that such men were more fire.
