Another Ferry Wanted.

The people of the western part of the
city want ferry from some point near
Harnish's mill or the Plow Works TO Dav-
export, landing at or near the foot of Brady
street, and they claim that Spencer Il
Robinson must either give them one or
they will be justified in organizing com
pany. Under Spencer & Robinsons char
ter they have an exclusive monopoly Of the
ferry business for one mile above and one
mile below Buffalo street, until 1881, at
which time that ring will have en-
joyed this monopoly for about fifty years.
Having a monopoly of the business for the
space of two miles on the river, they are
required, under their charter, to furnish
sufficient ferry accommodations. Failing
to do this the people would undoubtedly
have the right to organize another COM
pany, under the general incorporation law.
to supply their needs. The people in that
part of the city therefore have it in their
power to supply their wants if the ferry
company refuse to put on boat for that

New Transportation Bill by Mr. Durham


SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 27.-Mr. Durham,
of Henry, offered this morning a bill on
the subject of violation of the State rail
road law, which he stated to be based upon
the decision of the Supreme Court in the
case against the Chicago x St Louis Rail-
road Company which charges for the
transportation of freight or passengers an
unjust or unreasonable price, such COM
pany shall be deemed guilty of grave
public Offense, and shall upon the first
conviction, be fined $1,000, and for the
second conviction shall forfeit its property
and franchises. If any company charges
more than three cents per mile for passen-
ger travel or shall charge less for carry
ing freight for greater than for smaller
distance, the proof of these facts shall be
taken as strong prjMa .facie evidence of a
violation of this law. The bill also pro-
vides maximum sum per ton per mile
for carrying grain, lumber, coal and some
other staple articles, and the fact that any
company charges more than these rates
shall be taken as strong prima .fdcie evi-
dence of a violation of the law
The maximum prices for the species Of
service are left blank in the bill, and it is
expected that the House will gil these
blanks The rest of the bill provides for
the duty of County and State Attorneys in
bringing suits procedure and in courts. The
bill was ordered to second reading. and
to be printed. The subcommittee of the
Senate committee on railroads is engaged
in framing bill 10 meet the Supreme
Court decision, but there is as yet nothing
TO show what shape their bill will take
The decision was given at a very fortunate
time, and acts as a settler to the somewhat
muddled brains Of the members II
would, however, be wrong to blame the
members for being somewhat confused by
subject of such magnitude as the rail
road question has assumed, for the settle
ment of it will yet demand the utmost
efforts of the most honest, intelligent anC
jealous friends of the peoples rights.

Reported Steamboat Consolidation.

For more than week the chief men of
the Northwestern, Northern, and Keokuk
Packet Companies have been in consulta-
ton in st Louis, and arrangements are
about completed for a settlement of all diff
ferences between the companies. The St
Louis Democrat says that the coming
season will witness united and, to all in
tents, single packet line plying between
this port and st. Paul, and it is safe to say
that it will be conducted in such a manner
that shippers and travellers will be well
served, and it will ultimately come to look
upon the consolidation as better for their
interests than the turmoil and uncertain
ties of steamboat war"
