A Movement In Congress to Regulate
Railroad Charges.

Resolutions offered by Mr. Stewart, OF
Nevada, in the Senate, with regard to
regulating rates of fare and transportation
on railroads between the States, and IN
structing the Committee on the Judiciary
to inquire into authority Of Congress on
the subject, have been adopted and referred
TO the committee 1t is under the
provision of the Constitution which au-
thorizes Congress to regulate commerce
among the several States that these reso-
lu.ions were offered is to tc hoped the
Judiciary Committee will thoroughly in
vcstigatc this matter and propose the leg
islatlon needed. The railroads have grown
to be stupendous monopolies, and tax the
people OF the whole country and OF all
classes more heavily than the Federal
Government can venture to tax them. a
railroad that costs twenty millions initiates
its stock to forty, fifty or sixty millions,
and then demands fares from the travelling
public and rates Of freight from our farm.
ers and merchants TO pay interest on the
inflated or watered stock. This is q more
burdensome and inisultous tax than the
Government imposes, and goes far 10 re-
tard the development and business of the
country. The railroads, like the great
rivers, are the arteries of commerce among
States, and Congress has, no doubt, the
power to regulate their charges. We
know OF no more important and necessary
measure than this of Mr. Stewart, which
has been referred to the Con,mittee on the
Judiciary. and We hope that Congress will
act upon It at an early day.

AN Avalanche In Utah.

SALT LAKE. CITY, Dec. 26, 1872.
The weather at Salt Lake has been
mild and rainy for three days, With heavy
SHOWS in the mountains. Near Central
City terrible snowslide occurred to-day
from six to eight feet of snow having
fallen in the last two days. At about
half-past Two o'clock this afternoon an
avalanche 500 feet wide and twelve deep
came down, crossing the stage road, car.
rying away from eight to ten teams and
teamstrs and taking them l,5OO feet
across Cottonwood Creek. Three Of the
teamsters have been shoyelled out alive,
but badly bruised four more, known to
be buried, were not rescued, and it is
thought impossible to find them before
Spring although from one to two hun:
drsd men are at work shovelling. All
ths teams in the line Of the avalanche
were swept away. The names Of the
man have not yet been ascertained.
Eight mules we're dug out, some dead,
sorne with legs broken and others severely
bruised. Several wero afterwards shot.
There have been no delays on the Pacific

Ku Kluxism IN New York.

The Northern Radical papers make a
great buster about lawlessness at The

counts of Ku klux outragcs in various
Southern States, but when mob north
of Mason and Dixon's line at empts to
take the law into their own hands and
hang some poor wretch without the form
of trial, the matter is passed over as a
very trivial affair. An instance in point
occurred few days since in New York
city. John E. Simmons, the lottery dealer,
who killed his former partner, Nicholas
w. Duryeu, in that city last week, had
been placed in the Park Hospital for
medical treat at, his ankle having been
badly sprained in the rencontre.. between
himself and Duryea. On Tuesday last
the police received information that Du.
ryea's friends had formed a vigilance COM
mittee to seize the person Of the murderer
and execute him. Simmons was, there
fore, secretly removed to a place Of greater
safety The New FORK Times, Radical
organ, in noticing the occurrence simply
saws: The fact that such an attempt was
contemplated shows the strong feeling
which this peculiarly brutal murder has
excited" :,
In the South "such an attempt" would
have been "a gross Ku Klux outrage"

Horrors. q.
The floods, fires, shipwrecks and rail-
road horrors of the past year are unpar-
alleled in history. And even now the
accounts from the floods in England are
truly fearful. Earlier in the season such
floods have worked terrible rayages
along the line. of the Danube, in, Upper
Italy, in France, and in Belgium. And
now they have reached England. The
river Trent and its tributaries have risen
above their banks, and large portions of
the Counties of Leicester, Derby and
Nottingham have been submerged. So
heavy are the floods that in some Sec
tions only the tops of the trees and
hedges are visible. Near Dover land
slides have occurred, and railroad com:
munication has beenA interrupted. The
town of Peterborough, in Northampton
shire, is flooded, and such is the deluge
of water that the residents have in many
instances been compelled to take refuge
in the upper stories of their dwellings.
1t has been most unusual season. Nor
are the floods confined to Europe. In
our own country, during the past week,
the floods in the Ohio river have been ex-
ceedingly dangerous and destructive
many valuable steamers and other craft
having been sunk or smashed. Upon
the breaking up of the unprecedented
snow and ice, which are now prevailing,
we fear we shall hear Of new disasters

Succinctly Stated.

The New York Herald does not exag-
gerate the matter when 1t declares that
"such corruption and anarchy US exist
now in the South are not only injurious
to that section, not only check its prog
ress and material interests, and there
fore. prove damaging to the business in
tcrests of the North, but they are inicc.
tious, and must, in the end, demoralze
the whole republic. Itis, in fact, a long
step toward Capitalization, despotism
and military rule. 1t is the way In which
all nations have marched, the liberties

A Terrible Tragedy at Timmonsvillt

A Terrible Tragedy at Timmonsville.
We get the following particulars of a
fearful tragedy from the last issue Of the
Florence Pioneer, the new weekly paper,
publication Of, which has just been start
ed at Florence, S. c. The Pioneer Of the
25th says:
Yesterday afternoon Timmonsville was
the scene of one of those terrible TRACE
dies, which until very recently, scarcely
ever stained the pages of our public jour
mails. W. were near the scene at the time
it occurred, but not being acquainted with
the parties we were furnished the follow
ing particulars by friend.
One VIM. Oliver, together with Hiram
Oliver, Malcom Timmons and others, were
drinking in a bar-room, and creating a
disturbance, when Marshal Powers, as.
sisted by two colored Marshals, attempted
to arrest them. Meeting with resistance,
Marshal P. fired two shots at VIM. Oliver
both taking effect in the left breast, one
Immediately above the other. He, Pow
ers,) then fired upon Hiram Oliver, the
balls taking effect in one knee and below
the knee joint of the other. About this
time VIM. Oliver turned upon Marshal
Powers and fired at him with large navy
pistol, the ball taking effect in the upper
part Of Marshal Powers thigh, breaking
It into shivers. Powers fell to the
ground, when VIM. Oliver fred again
breaking his hand. Malcom Timmons
vas severely shot in the mouth: Dr.
Culpepper is attending Marshal Powers
and DR.. Wright Oliver the others. It is
thought that Powers cannot live: VIM
Oliver has been arrested, and will proba-
bly, be retained to await the development
of the case. and the termination OF the
Marshal's wounds. The trial was pro-
crossing when we left, 4 P. NJ, but the
decision hand not been reached,

THE EFFECTS OF. THE CoNFIscATIoN
Acrs.-It has been decided by the Su-
preme Court of Appeals of Virginia that
an executor who paid over to the Confed-
crate authorities, under the confscation
acts of that government, q legacy left by
q Northern testator cannot now be COM
pelled to paw the amount of the legacy TO
the legatee. The court says of the execu-
tor. that "he wisely declined the contest
with government which the whole naval
and military power of the United States
could not subdue under four years. and
having WELDED to the duress Of de tacto
government, is absolved from being held
snes1ponsible for the legacy which it was
nnt in his power to hold"
