A MYSTERY SOLVED.
BOsToN. Dec, %. 1877.

BOSTON, Dec. %. 1873
One OF the mysteries which nave bothered the
brains OF the Boston police force was disclosed
to-day. Mr.. Simeon A. Britton, well known and
hitherto respectedtreal estate broker In this city,
was found, insensblc and badly beaten, on the
floor OF his ONCE, in Devonshlre street, on the
afternoon OF November last When taken TO the
police station for treatment he refused to give the
name OF the person who assaulted him, and 1t was
not known until Mr.. Britt0n's attending physi-
clan. DR.. Arnold, was compelled to dlvulge IL by
order OF the Court. II was then learned that
the assaant was one James q. Merrill, a
boy or IS years, who IL a son OF
Josiah Merrill, a real estate broker. Young Mer-
rill was at That time In Canada. Mr.. Detective
Dearborn proceeded to that Dominion, found the
boy and brought him back to Boston to-day. This
afternoon he testified before the Grand Jury that
the assault was committed because Brtton at
tempted to commit nenous crime upon him.
The Grand Jury proceeded at once 10 find an In
dictment against Brttt0n, ex0nerating the boy
from blame. An oflcer Is now in pursuit OF the
offender with strong hopes Of lodging him In pr-
son before tomorrow
The affair created great deal OF sorrow and ex-
cifement here to-day so soon as the iacts became
known on the street, inasmuch az the parties con-
nected Herewith are very well known. Britt0n

THE LEGISLATIVE PRINTING BIDS

ALBANY N. ", Dec. %, 1873.
The legislative printing has heretofore been done
by the Argus Company under contract covering all
work ordered by the Legislature for itself, and the
price was $5s,0OO. The proposals telegraphed on
Saturday were for only o certain specified amount
Of work, which in the aggregate would be much
less than that done by the Argus Company. Bence
these new proposals, put in by the Argus Company
and others for the specific work are regarded as
containing prices even more profitable to whoever
secured the contract than the s5S.000 has been to
the ArQliS Company.

made proposition to pro rate was that you
never understood the question to be asked
in that form2
Mr.. Robinson: Not as to making tariff.
/ merely understood him to ask whether we
would carry cotton at Clio Off cent. never
regarded 1t as serious question. While the
conference Of presidents was going OH the
subject was mentioned.
The witness was then questioned rs to the
comparative rates of transportation on the
Petersburg and Richmond, Fredericksburg
ana Potomac railroads, respectively. Coun-
sci for the Robinsons intended that the rate
charged on cotton from RCams station to
Petersburg should be taken as Indicative of
the rate for transportation of the same arti-
Gle on any ten miles of the Petersburg road.
This Mr.. Lyon contended could not lcsiti-
mately be done, and called attention to the
TACT that no cotton was raised or shipped at
Reams station. He also incidentally brought
out the fact that the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac railroad could well afford
to put down the rate for transportation Of
cotton from Broad-Street depot in Richmond
to Baltimore to G-10 of cent, or even less,
as no cotton is shipped from Richmond to
Baltimore.
Mr.. Robinson then, in reply to questions of
the counsel Of the roads which he repre-
sents, exhibited the taritf.tables of the Pc
tersburg railroad, and endenyored TO sustain
his assertion that that road charged higher
rates by half than the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac railroad.
10 this Mr.. Lyon reioined that the table
quoted was made up by Mr.. Chic, superin-
tendent Of the Scaboard md Roanoke rail-
nd inf rf I,o
Petersburg road, at the instance of the
former, and that these rates were kept up
by the two superinendents to prevent rcck-
less competition.
Mr.. Robinson incidentally exhibited a
taril.tabc Of the SeabOard and Roanoke
which he said had been in use since
May last, and which showed much lower
l0ctl rates than the tarifl-table of the Peters
burg railroad.
Mr.. Lyon then sent for and exhibited an
other taritl-tablc Of the Seaboarl and Roa-
noke railroad, which he claimed was the one
actually in use, and from which it appeared
that the rates Of the two roads were about
the same.
Mr.. Robinson s;id he now saw the table
presented by Mr.. Lyon for the first time,
and thought there must he some mistake
about it. He knew the fact that the one
which he (Mr. H. quoted had been in Use for
some time.
Here this basty sketch of last nights pro.
ceedings must he brought 10 Gloss. The
session Of tue committee was prolonged un-
til such late hour that it was impossible to
