As was anieaped, tho committee appoin-
ted to investigate the truth Of the charges
made against General Howard. fully aud
completely exonerato that officer from ell
charges affecting his character or integrity.
Tho committee fnd after thorough inyesti-
igatiou Of tho whole case. thst the charges
are utterly grouudless aud causeless; that as
commissioner Of tho Frcedmen's Bureau.
General Howard has been devoted. honest
and able public servant, and that his great
trust has been performed wisely, disinterest-
ealy, economically aud most successfully.
It now remains to be seen whether the
Democratic papers which have been lying
about this gallant soldier with Systematic
persistence. will riso to The level Of dcecR-
cy and do him even moderate justice.

Great Corporations.

The growth OF railroad corpora
tons the past thirty years has been
enormous. In 1870 the capital Of the
largest railroad company in the coun-
try wac reported at less than four
and half millions. Ten years later
the capital of no company exceeded
ten millions, but in 1869 the con-
struction account of a single one was
reported at thirty-four millions. To-
day the New York Central or Van
derbilt combination controls ga
miles of track and nominal stock
of a hundred and twenty-five mil
lions. The Pennsylvania Central
holds under perpetual lease some q
700 miles of track, and practically
owns property 10 the value of one
hundred and sixty millions. The
Erie company controls /, 200 miles of
track and stock to the nominal value
of two hundred million dollars. TO
these add the Pacific roads, the Chic
ago 4 Northwestern, the Milwaukee
l. st. Paul, and the hundred smaller
fry, aud we have property of the
estimated value of two thousand mil
lions, yielding gross income of four
hundred millions annually. Shonld
all this enormous property, follow
ing, the tendency towards consolida-
ton which is now so manifest, fall
under the control of single board
OF management, the power thus crea-
ted would be greater, more coRcentrd-
ted, and more danger Gus than any that
eUer erlSted IN thtS or any other coun-
try. In ten years from this time
there will probably be two new Paci-
tic roads, and a multitude of lesser
ones, sufficient to double the wealth
in this form. BY that time there
will doubtless be AN army OF scarcely
less than million of men under the
pay and direction Of few great cor
porations. If the managers, of these
combinations should put their wits
together for tho purpose Of extortion
from the people or for The accomplish
ment Of political changes, what might
they not accomplish They would
possess IA advance what is OF the
highest strategic importance-thc
great highways of the country be-
sides al enormous capital and an ir-
.resistib.e army OF employees
From 'hese facts some unpleasant
possibilities we will not say pro-
babiIities--are easiIy perceived We
DO not predict q coming conflict be-
tween the people and monster cor
porations but it is assuredIy the
part OF wisdom TO recognize the pos
sibility If such a thing, and TO use all
reasonable meats TO prevent strug-
gle which coul4 only result in gen
eral disaster and ruin. Statesmen
have here a new subject upon which
to exercise their powers, and it is TO
be hoped they will prove able to deal
with it IN such way - to secure the
rights Of the people without invad-
ing the rights of individuals.-MH-

LIQUOR LICENsE.-This ancient
question had long airing in the AS
sembly the other day. The question
came up on the third ruling of Mr..
JacksoBs bill 20 raise the liquor IL
cense from one, to two hundred dol
lars, and making bonds $4,000, and a
lively discussion followed
Doctor Pease was for wiping out
all low class doggeries who would
sell to boys and take the last FIVE
cent piece from any poor devil. He
would have liquor selling entrusted
to men Of consideration and respon-
sibility.
Mr.. Sanborp considered it better,
if we bad saloons, TO have them con-
venient and we'll distributed. If one
was dry down at the depot, be didn't
want to come clear up town for a
glass Of lager.
Mr.. Aaxon had no difficulty with
these questions. He was in favor of
free trade in liquor at all, and leave
it with the moral sense of the people.
Mr.. Bliss said they used to have
one liquor saloon to every 81 voters
in Mineral Point. They doubled the
license and it decreased the number
by half
Mr.. Rodolf said the bill would be
prohibitory in its effect. Prohibition
was tried in the garden of Eden and
proved to be distinguished failure.
Mr.. Foster gave a stirring prohibit
tory lecture he would drive the dev
il out Of the country and out of the
world.
Mr.. Chandler objected to small IL
cense. Worthless seamps, he said,
who had Just money enough to buy a
keg Of whisky. would start a grog-
gerry for few months in the winter
when they had nothing else to do.
Mr. Johnson was opposed to farther
restriction At the present time. We
couldn't ieg.s'1te people up to habits
of frugality. virtue and temperance /;
We had first got 10 educate them up.
Mr.. Pierce was more radical. The
law should always be in advance of
the people, and we should keep our
liquor laws &head of public senti-
ment.
Mr. Schmidt related his experience
in the army. When boys had to go
ten miles to get liquor, they would
stay by and get drunk when it was
plentiful about camp, hardly one ev-
er drank too much.
The bill after sharp skirmishing by
the opposition was ordered to q third
reading. Ayes II nays 81.
