TIE NEW YORK ELECTIONS.

The town elections in New York this
spring have resulted in immense gains
for the Democratic party. The Albany
argus gives some interesting details
Of the victory. In thirty-seyen counties
the opponents of Radicalisrn made a
net gain of eight-four Supervisors
since last year, and completely re-
deemed fifteen counties. Last year
the Opposition carried only five Of
these thirty-seven, and this year they
carried twenty. In the interior cities
twelve municipal elections have been
held. Last year the Radicals carried
them all, while this year the Demo
Gratis were successful in seven and the
Republicans in five. In the language
of the New York Commercial .idrcr-
tiser, ''the Democracy seem to be as
lively as ever, and came up TO the cleo

The bill upon which the Gladstone

To carry out this scheme fully, Trinity

This plan would seem to meet the
real requirements OF all classes, as II
left the degrees ope1 to all corners who
could pass strict examination. But
this is not what the Roman Catholic
Bishops have demanded. They want
an exclusive University for themselves,

Tf1Ei ILLINOIS FREIGHT Law
sHCnHsTETUTJO

Tha Supreme Court Of Illinois has
Just rendered decision which is likely
to stimulate the excitement in the
West on the transportation question.
1t has reversed the celebrated decision
of Judge Tipton of Mclean county,
affirming the constitutionahty of the
State law prohibiting railroad compa-
nies from charging discriminating toll
rates, and sustains the appeal of tho
Chicago and Alton Railroad Company
against it. In the case iii question it
was charged that the company, con-
trary to the provisions Of the law,
charged s. 65 per thousand feet for
transporting lumber from Chicago to
Lexington. a distance of 1lo miles,
while from Chicago to Bloomington,
distance Of 126 miles, it charged only
s. per thousand feet. The railroad
company raised the points in
defence, in the first place, that the
charter Of the company gave it
the righ. to regulate the rates
of transportation, and that the
legislation interfering with this right
was illegal. 1t also maintained that
the s. 65 rate from Chicago to Lexing-
ton was reasonable and not excessive,
and that the s. rate for the lower dis
tance to Bloomington was too low, but
was rendered necessary by competi-
tion. The Circuit Court ruled that tire
Legislature had the right to reg n ate
freight charges, but theSupreme Court
of the State, on appeal, has reversed
the Judgment of the lower court. The
Supreme Court, however, recognizes
the authority of the State Legislature
to prevent undue discrimination III
railroad freight charges, but holds
that in his case :!.a Leg .slatnrc has
forbidden all discrimination, and pro-
vided for the forfeiture of the charter
without giving the company an oppor-
tii1litv of sustaining its position. The
act Of the Legislature was therefore
declared to be vcid, and contrary to
tie spirit :InG intent os the Constit...
