bate was renewed upon the report of the Com
mittee of Miscellaneous Subjects 10 regard, 10
the resolution touching the Eight hour law
passed by the Federal Congress, and quite
variety of views we're expressed. No definite
action was had on the matter
The question of transportation was discussed
at considerable length, the general idea prevail
ing that the rates OF transportation are exorbi-
tant and that relief should be found through
some channel, but the question was how is it
to be obtained? The majority OF the Conven-
ton appeared decidedly opposed to bringing
about any antagonism with the railroad corpor-
atoms of the country, and preferred to harmon
ize the interests of the producer and carrier.
Delegates we're appointed to attend the. meet
ing of the American Pathological Society at
Boston. The Committee 90 Railroad Systems
reported series of resolutions, which were
adopted unanimously. They embody the views
of almost the entire Congress, and evlnce
copciiatory disposition on the part OF the dele
gates. A Vice President for each State repre-
sented was selected for the current year
General W. Ii. jackson, of Tennessee was
chosen President aud Charles W. Green, Sec
retary. Atlanta was selected as the place Tor
the next meeting, which will be held on the
second Wednesday in May, 1874.

A Washington dispatch says that 1t has
trspspired that counsel for the defendants 10
the Credit Mobier suit will, in few. weeks,
file demurrer to the bill in equity, taking the
ground that the act under which the bill was
drawn is unconstitutional, aud Congress cannot
enact for the benefit of the Government what
is denied to individual suitors; that the act Is
in direct violation of the existing laws under
which the defendants have the right to ask
protection, and until they are placed on an
equality with the plaintiff there can be no
equitable proceeding. This will carry the pro-
ceeding to the Supreme Court, where the ques-
ton will be argued aud the validity OF the act
determined. 1t is admitted By those familiar
with the case that this objection of the defend
ants may auash further proceedings.
