THE GREAT RfILROAD SUIT.
An injunction Asked Against the
Ohicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific Railroad Company. ~

The litigation in the case of the alleged
fraudulent issue of near five millions of the
stock of the Rock Island Railroad COMPANY,
by John F. Tracy and others, has been trans-
ferred from New York to the United States
district court in this city. What win become
of it beyond big fees to ingenious attorneys
and large rewards to the successful litigant,
is not now apparent.
The following is the case more in detail:
The bill in this case alleges the organize
ton of a consolidated company by the name
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad Company, of Iowa; that under the
consolidation, the capital stock was fixed at
$9,209,000, without any provision for an in
crease; but that on the 18th day of Septem-
Der, 1867, the executive committee of the
board of directors passed resolution that
the stock be increased to the extent of
$4,90g,000, and appointed the president,
John F. Tracy, and David Dows, of New
York, one of the directors, and a member of
| the executive committee. to superintend the
| issuing OF the stock. The purpose in view
in the resolution for which the stock was to
be issued, was the extension of the line from
Des MONIES to Council Bluffs; that, in pur.
suance OF said resolution, Tracy sold about
six million dollars worth of stock at sellers
option, to be delivered within sixty days,
keeping secret the fact that the new stock
| was to be issued, and. after having agreed to

The debate in the house of representa-.
tives, on Tuesday, elected the fact that the
replication to the president was prepared be-
fore the answer of the president was given to
the senate.
This fact is significant, aud is indicative
of the whole character of this so-called trial
Everything is prepared beforehand, even to
the verdict of guilty. 1t would be quite as
well TOR the senate to issue this verdic,
now, as to go through the farce and expense
OF a trial. 1t would save time to pronounce
upon the case at once, and leave congress a.
liberty to attend to other matters.
There is, however, this consolation in the
action of the senate: That, while trial
will in no wise alter the character of the de
cision already prepared, it will, at least, pre-
vent congress from doing mischief in some
other direction.

LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.

Some folks have q great deal to say Of
liberty and equality, without seeming to
know or care, what these words mean
With these radicsl politicians, liberty ns1ns
the right to grind INTO the dust, by oppres.
sive taxes and all other ways, the poorlabof-
ing Glasses, and equality means thaa The Pc
gro is equal in on respects to the poor white
man. The old Scotch presbyterian PreAcheF
was not so sure that there was IN existence
anywhere such things as liberty ana equaf-
ty, as will be seen from the following extract
from one Of his sermons - CT
any friends, l had call from some of
.xou the ,other day, desiring to know my
opinion on liberty and equality; when | told
YOU if Won came here to-day, might let you
know. Now, since had your visit, have
travelled, in spirit, over the universe, and
shall just tell you what have seen in my
travels.
II have travelled over the earth, its frozen
andsburning zones, mountains and valleys,
moist places and dry, fertile lands and sandy
deserts, and / have found men and children,
big and little, strong and weak, wise and
ignorant, coed and bad, powerful and help
less, richgand poor. Noeqnalay there.
81 have travelled through the sea, its
depth and shoals, rocks and sandbanks,
whirlpoois and eddies, and have found
monsters and worms, whaleSand herring,
sharks and shrimps, maekerel aud sprats,
the strong devouring the weak, the big swal-
lowing the little. No equality there.
~ have assembled to heaven, with its
greater and lesser lights, suns and satellites,
and I have found thrones and dominions,
principalities and powers, angels and arch
angels, cherabim and seraphim. No equal,
ity there.
) 81 have descended into hell, and there ]
found Belzebub, the prince of devils, and
his grim counsellors, Moloch and Belial, tyr
anizing over the other devils, and all of them
over wicked meas souls. No equality
there.
: This is what have seen in my travels,
and think have travelled far enough; bn,
if any of you are not satisfied with what
have told you, and wish to go in search Of
liberty and equality yourselves, you may
find them somewhere that have not visited
You need not travel the same road that
have done, for will tell you positively that
you viii not find what you want on the
earth, neither in the sea, neither in hell. |
you think Of finding them anywhere else
you may try. Meanwhile, have given YOU
all the information can. 1t rests with yor
to make proper use of it,
