II ia very strange that there is no demo-

CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.
CHICAGO, April 9Th, 1863.


In my last letter to you l did not quite
finish the chapter Of stirring incidents in
the great railroad war still going on, in
which Chicago is deeply interested, par
ticularly those connected with the Rock
Island roads struggles, SO [ shall give you
another chapter to-day, and endeavor to
make it as concise as possible. But to be
clear, | must commence a little way back E.
In preparation for the June election Of
1867 of the Northwestern r. r. Go. Ira
cy, (president) and the directors of the r.
1. road made up pool with Keep, Drew's
colleague and hacker, and his friends, to
buy stock and get control of the N. W
road. They got lot of the stock, but
Ogden and the directors Of the North
western took the alarm in time and beat
them at the election. Nothing daunted
the same parties made up another pool for
the same purpose, and this time bought in
some sl@ 900 900 of stock They had a
"big thing in prospect. They planned
to consolidate the II. |. q G. & n. w.
roads, effecting junction of the former
with the latter some 30 or 40 miles this
this side Of Des Moines. This would give
them practical monopoly of the travel
and traffic Of the vast, rich Country be-
tween here and Omaha and from the line
Of the r. [. road to the lakes. 1t would
give them control OF the connections of
the Union Pacific road with the carry
ing out of Drew's plan of broad guage
on the Michigan Southern and running it
in the interest of the Eric road, would in
effect have things their own way across
the continent. 1t looked too big, aud the
Rock Island men rather thought that for
their own safety they had better divide
the pie, and by extending their own road
to Omaha, and reaching there the u. =.
road, have rival lines. so they quietly
sold out al the Northwestern stock thew
had tothe other half of the poo, > issued
81 ,000 900 of new Il. |. stock and sold it
at once at Oh cts, (half cent below the
market price, to obtain money for the
extension. Keep took the alarm. saw that
he was "sold out and, by his orders, his
brokers, Rufus Hatch at their head, got
out ipjuctions in New York, on the basis
of some r. L. stock which they suddenly
captured, restraining the r. [. directors
from using the money raised from the new
stock and from making the proposed ex-
tension. But Rock Island was not going
to be beaten so easily A bill was quick
ly rushed through the Iowa legislature le-
Salzlng the issue of stock, and authori-
zing the extention, and also supplement-.
airy act which postponed the next June
election of the r. I. H. r. Co. for ono
year. Then the directors met, one by one

had been served resigned, and one by one

OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION..
ED. DEMoCRAT.-If additional evidence
were needed of the hypocrisy and corrup-
ton of the present congress, its Legislation
within very brief period furnishes Is in
so clear and unmistakable manner that
it cannot be misunderstood by the country.
1t is conceded by all, without distinction of
party, that the national debt is burden of
the greatest magnitude, and that western
interests are suffering severely from enor-
nous taxation, chiefly because of the ex-
emption of capital from bearing its just
proportion in defraying the expenses of
the government; and the agricultural and
laboring masses of the west were JUS
tilted in demanding reduction In taxes
on articles Of consumption principally
used by them, and retrenchment in public
expenditures. But congress has disap-
pointed the just expectation of the people
and committed blunder shat is scarcely
less than crime. There has been joint
congressional committee on retrenchment
in existence for two years, and yet the ex-
penses of the government have not been
reduced one dollar. 1t has been apparent
for many months that the internal revenue
receipts have fallen off to an alarming ex-
tent 1t was formerly the custom of in
ternal revenue comm issioner Rollins to an
nounce daily by telegraph the magnificent
receipts of the day previous; latterly he
has failed to send any financial bulletins
at all. This decrease is directly attribu-
table to the collision Of revenue officials
with dishonest manufacturers, and lament
able failure to enforce the law. The ex-
penditures of the government for the month
of February exceeded the receipts ten mil
hons Of dollars. The appropriation for
the army and navy per annum is nearly
one hundred and forty millions, aud for the
civil service one hundred millions. While
the existence of the freedmen's bureau
an institution that has outlived its useful
ness, if it ever possessed any-is prolong-
ed one year from July next, and liberal
appropriation will be made for it. The
self qualification Of this and the recon
struction acts so evident that it is
needless to point it out. The negro is in
trusted with the political power of ten
states by the latter. aud yet if the freed
mems bureau is Of any practical utility, it
is an an acknowledgements on the part of
congress that the negro is incapable Of self
support and must be fed and clothed and
cared for by the national government.
Was there ever greater absurdity? A
population helpless, dependant on the
bounty of the nation, unfit to make con-
tract for days work without the assist
ance of a bureau officer, invested with pow
CIR to control elections and frame laws by
which tax payers are to be governed, is an
outrage upon free governments that ought
to mantle the cheeks of its perpetrators,
infamous as they are, with tho crimson
blush of shame. And while congress was

the increase by congress of.20 per cent on
the salaries of its employees, and it is pro-
posed to give a similar increase to depart-

candle at both ends, the secretary of the
treasury predicts large increase Of the
