THE CREDIT NoBILIER SUITs-Attornev
General Williams returned to Washington on
Sunday morning and resumed his Official duties
to-day. He says the decision by the United
States Circuit Court for Connecticut mon the
motions and demurrer in the credit mobilier
suits will be made as soon as the Judge has time
to make due examination of the case. The
motions were filed by persons residing out of
the district of Connecticut to dismiss the suit as
to them, upon the ground that the act was un-
constitutional in requiring them to appear and
answer in district in which they did not re-
side, and it was therefore special legislation not
warranted by the constitution; and the demur-
rtr was filed by the Union Pacific uroad com
paTy and Others on the ground that the United
States had not that interest in the sub
ject matter of the litigation which ent-
tied them to bring suit to redress the
wrongs of the Union Pacific railroad company.
The Attorney General believes the motions and
demurrer Will be Overruled, and hopes to get q
decision to the effect that railroad companies
are public institutions subject to the control of
the government, and that contracts made BY
the directors of such companies, with them
selves CT with other companies or association.
i'll which they are interested, relative h the
construction OF management of such roads, are
void; and he thinks that such decision will do
HuCh 10 reform railway management, as the
revenues of the roads are very often greatly
consumed by these outside arrangements in
which the directors are interested, rendering il
necessary TO impose high tariffs upon transpOr-
tation to defray in addition thereto the leyiti
mate expenses of GuCh reads.
