The RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE
COMMISSIONERS.

Letter from Eo1l. GuStnVu9 Koernefs
10 the Editor af The Chicago Tribune:
sIR: The Inter- Ocean OF yesterday published,
concerning the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mi5aioners, Q batch Of most unmitigated lies.
As early as September or October OF last gear,
the Commissioners caused O proceeding to ba
commenced against the Chicago l. st. Louis
Railroad Company, in the nature Of an informa.
tion for quo tcdrTan&o for Discrimination in
freight charges. The crowded state OF the
docket Of the Mclean County Circuit,
and failure of counsel for the road
to appear, delayed the trial Of the case till
spring. Arguments we're heard, and the Court
took the case under advisement. The counsel
for the Railroad Company obtained leave to file
additional arguments, which had to be an
swered, and the Court has the case still under
adVisement. The charge, then, that prevented
m appeal to the Supreme Court ia utterly
ground!ess.
We proceeded, also, promptly against ware
houses which refused to take ont license under
the Wa.ehousemen took an appeal, which IS now
pending in the Supreme Court. We
Commenced another suit against ware
housemen a tor o!ercharging OF ator-
private remedy only, and the State had no remedy
When it was charged that an elevator man had is
sued, fraudulently, cancelled warehouse receipts,
the Commission caused testimony to be collected,
brought the case before the Grand Jury OF Cook
County, which found for it true bill, but re-
considered the case, and failed finally to find
one. We have instructed the States Attorney
to bring the case again before the present Grand
Jury. we have, in every instance where the Law
gave Us even faint hope Of success, performed
our duty. Thereis is Significance in the article in
the way in which it seeks to separate Colonel
Morgan from the rest of the Commission. The
latter supports General Grant, while Colonel
Hammond and myself favor Greeley. Hence
this unb1ushing lying.
We have prepared special report to the Goy-
ernor, which Will be submitted to him in few
days, giving a truthful history Of all our doingB.
We would have preferred to delay this report
until after tho election, 80 that it might not be
considered es having any connection with the
election, but the unWarTaatabla course taken by
man who makes pretences to morals and piety
will make it necessary to publish the document
now. GUSTAYU3 hoElNER-

One Of the most significant proofs Of the re-
cuperative energies Of Chicago is found in the
continued activity OF suburban real estate. Not
witlstanding the tightness Of the money mar
ket for commercial paper the number Of trans
actions in outside property seems to be not at
all diminished, but rather On the increase, at
full prices. This fact is undoubtedly due to the
confidence which has been inspired among East
ern capitalists by the rapid rebuilding Of the
city, and also to the large number Of laboring
men who are investing their savings in suburb
an lots, with view Of securing homes in the
vicinity OF the city.

4 g1ogs SANDER having been published against
the integrity and efficiency of Governor Koerner
and his fellow-members Of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, the former has written
reply, which VIC publish this morning, setting
forth all the facts in relation to the suit brought
by the Commissioners TO enforce tho Railroad
Freight act against the Chicago & St. Louis
Railroad. It ia sufficient to show the aaimus Of
this charge, that Colonel r. P. Morgan, one Of
the Commissioners, equally guilty with tho rest,
if any are guilty, is carefully spared by the as
sailants OF Governor Koerner. The reason is
that Mr. Morgan supports Grant, and Mr..
Koerner does not.

THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.

The most gratifying fact of the late campaigns
in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania has been the
unanimitv with which Liberals Of Republican
and Of Democratic antecedents have worked to-
gether for the common SUCCESS Of the Liberal
cause. And. now that the October fight is ended,
there comes to us in each Of the Democratic ad-
dresses Of the three States a cordial acknowledge
uent that the Liberal Republicans have made q
splendid fight, md have pol1ed q vote in all the
States far more than sufficient to overthrow the
previous Grant najo jorities and the new negro
vote, provided full Democratic vote could have
been pol1ed. Nor has the fact that q full Demo-
cratic vote has not yet been polled provoked any
complaint from the Liberal Republicans. There
are thousands Of Democratic voters in Penn
sylyania, 0lio and Indiana who in their
hearts look with little better than despair on
the evils of the present Administration, and yet
they alone arc assuming tile undivided respon-
sibi1ity Of continuing those evils four years
longer. This silent vote holds the balance Of
power in theae three States. Its convictions
and sympathies arc with US. Yet to these
Democrats will Grant owe his second term if
elected next month. In dealing with these dis
satisfied Democrats, more can be gained by an
honest, straightforward statement Of our
truo position than by q cunning fraud
which pretendB to hatter their preju-
dices but really disgusts their man-
hood. This is not fight to bring into
power the old principles of the Democratic party
concerning slavery or the war. To represent it
as such is to impress the whole Liberal move-
ment with the character Of hypocrisy and fraud.
If there are any minor politicians Of Democratic
antecedents whose habits and prejudices cause
them to treat this campaign as the old Demo-
cratic fight, to use the old party calls and CATCH
words, and to regard the Liberal Republicans
as gains to tho old-fashionod Democracy,
that is merely ono Of the many misap-
prehensions into which men Of various
shades of opinion may fall concerning q new
political movement. It ia injurious to us, tenn
porarily, because it repels many Republicans
whose convictions are with US, and who would
vote with us, but they Justly object to being
regarded as converts to old-fashionea Democ-

There is nothing in history or romance more
affecting than the published correspondence be-
tween General Hurlbut and Nlr. Hildrup, Of
Be1videre. In June or July last Hurlbut wrote
a letter to Farnsworth, stating that Hildrup was
q delegate to the Congressional Convention,
and would do any thing for money,-and, fur
ther said: Hildrup and Wilson are for sale !;
buy them if you can" Hldrup is candidate
for the Legislature, and Hurlbut for Congress,
both On the same ticket. Hi1drup and Hurlbut
have made up; Hurlbut apologies; says he was
misinformed by persons who have "proven
to be wholly false and trustworthy =
and he takes it al back, and gives
Hndrup certificate Of character which
he is authorized to print. Hurlbut's
excuse is characteristic. He and Hildrup have
lived in the came village for half their lives, and
the idea that any person ever told him that
Hildrup and Wilson we're for SALE" ia a weak
invention. The reconciliation is go touching
that there has hardly been dry eye in Boone
County TOR week.

The harVests in the province Of Berri, France,
promised, last summer, to be abundant. The
crops had been prayed for, and blessed, and
sprinkled with holy water, and they naturally
grew apace. Suddenly there came thunder and
hail-atorms. The growing grain was crushed.
The peasants of Chatre-Langlin seem to have
argued: s'We paid the Cure for getting Gods
blessing on our fields; somebody has cheated
US; we'll avenge the wrong on the Cure" They
found him at the altar, but speedily removed him
to the gutter. Then they smashed altar and
priest together, MANNED the stone saints sadly,
wrecked their Cures house, and started back to
kill him. The police interfered in time to
save him and arrest his assailants- He has

woMANs RIGHTS AND MANS RIGHTS.

A suit. recently instituted in Baltimore. by one
Jacob LEM, against one Mary schomm, to re-
cover IS, 900 damages for an alleged breach OF
promise Of marriage. is q cheerful Indication
that what is sauce for the gander is sauce for the
goose, From the plea filed in the case, it ap-
pears that the parties had engaged themselves
in marriage that Jacob, like Barkis, had always
been willing. and had waited q reasonable time
for the unfeeliug Mary to fulfil her engagement.
This, however, she steadily refused to do; hence
the suit, through which Jacob hopes to repair
the damage done to his too susceptible heart,
and to assuage the grief and modification he
naturally feels at this outrageous conduct of the
fair party OF the second part. While we cannot
avoid the impression that Jacob has been both
fond and foolish in his conduct. and ought to
thank his blessed stars if he has any, that he has
escaped the walls Of wrath which schomn would
eventually have poured upon his devoted head,
had he succeeded in marryine her, still ne are
disposed to regard Jacob as the representative
Of q great social experiment. He may not be
aware OF the fact, but the eyes Of the unmarried
men Of America are fastened upon him with spe-
cial interest," Jacob is a LEM which is destined
either to magnify their prospects or to eifectu-
ally diminish them. Unknowingly, perhaps. but
none the less certainly, he has propounded a
great social problem, and is either to be the mes
senger Of good tidings or an i1l-omened raven OF
despair. The great question Of mans rights
crystallizes in Jacob and its solution covers
ground, and involves greater consequences, than
Jacob knows. In marriage engagements, has
man any rights which lovely woman is bound
to respect Thus far, he has had
none, for the reason that until the time OF Jacob,
no man hashad the courage to assert them, but has
preferred to pine away in silence, and let COLI
cealment like q worm i the bud, etc. Jacob,
however, who is evidently practical man, and
not addicted to the poetical nonsense OF most
lovers, goes right straight to the root OF the
matter, in sturdy German fashion, and demands
his damages.
