SIX RESOLUTIONS.

Following are six resolutions, which
among a number of others, were re-
Gently adopted by a meeting Of mer-
chants and business men In the city Of
New York. They are the clearest and
most comprehensive We have yet
seen. In the ID, 4th and last the senti-
msnts Of the producing classes are
faithfully set forth, and the third sug-
gests the best way to accomplish the
great work Of securing cheap trans.
p~ortation
Rssoiped, That 1t Is our duty as mer-
chants and citizens to organize an as
ISOLATION to foster the interests OF the
city, the State. and the Nation, In con-
nection with the question Of transport
Resolued, That the production Of the
country, both agricultural and manu-
featuring, has Increased much faster
than the facilities for transportation ;
that additional avenues Of commune
cation with the West and the South
are an immediate necessity ; that the
policy OF our government, both State
and national, should be 90 shaped that
our great producing interest aud the
commerce. depending thereon should
not be left to the mercy OF corpora
| lions which, BY virtue Of combinations
and consultations, have become mo-
nopolles whose tendency Is to override
and subvert the rights Of the people ;
that In our present system Of Inland
Transportation there exists many de-
fects and abuses which should receive
most careful legislative attention In
order that all interests may be Justly
treated and harmonized.
RESOLVED, That the production Of the
| country has so Increased that double
track railways exclusively for freight
are q necessity, aud that business men
will not tolerate n delay OF 10 or II
days In transporting goods 1000 miles,
when with a road devoted exclusively
to freight the same distance vi be
traversed In about four days, at one
half of the usual expense.
Resolved, That the abuses In the pre-
sent system OF railway management
must cease. The watering OF stocks,
the reckless aud unprincipled financial
management, the inside "rings" Of
contractors, the granting Of special
privileges to numerous fast freight
lines" the lavish and extravagant ex-
penditure In controlling elections aud
corrupting legislators, all tend to pre-
vent the transportation OF freight at
reasonable rates.
Resoirel. That the frequent and ar
bitrary changes In the rates Of onr pre-
sent freight lines constitute q serious
defect In the management of our rail-
way system. tending to prevent buy
ers from coming to this market, be-
cause their freight may be advanced
90 per cent. In a single day, and 1t 10
desirable that more uniform and per-
manent rates should be maintained.
Resolved, That corporations created
by the people and by them endowed
with special privileges, owe to the peo-
pie corresponding duties, and that
these duties should be subject to pro-
per regulation BY law, In order that
the rights of the public as we'll ~ the
privileges Of corporations may be
maintained and respected.

CREDIT MOBILIER.

The Credit Mobilier suits came up
yesterday In the United States Circuit
Court, at Hartford, Conn. The Gov
eminent was represented by Attorney
General Williams. William NJ. Evarts
represented prominently thirty-three
of the defendants. The argument In
the Court was on a motion to dismiss
the case. Mr.. Evarts opened his ar
gumeut In these most remarkable
words : "This suit IL brought under
authority of the fourth section OF an
appropriation act passed by an expir-
Ing Congress agitated with Its own
reputation. It has no precedent, no
a~ntecedent, and will have no succes-
sion." Following Is the telegraphic
abstract Of his remarks, which occu-
pied about one hour:
He divided his defendants Into
three classes-those defendants In their
own right and those rs administrators
and interpretations. Outside OF Con-
necticut, he said the question was one
of the power of Congress under the
Constitution, by special act OF retro
spectlve legislation, to authorize suit
In behalf OF the Government against
certain designated individuals or cor
porations, except such persons In re-
spect Of tho suit from the operations
Of the general and established law Of
the land, both OF procedure and juris-
dic,ion, and ~subjecting them and them
only to new rules different from those
heretofore. aud still In force for the
government Of all other suits and all
the rest Of the people Of the United
States. He argues that this Act OF
Congress Ia an exercise Of judicial, not
legislative power, and so u%nconstitu-
tional and void. Congress could not
confer upon the Attorney General,
power to determine In what court to
bring suit, since that power belongs to
Congress; that the administrators are
equally protected from deprivation Of
their rights without due process OF law,
and that an administrator appointed
In ono State Is not liable to be tried In
that capacity out Of the jurisdiction OF
the State were he was appointed.

An old joke on "OId Probabilities"

In the early days Of the war, whilst most Of
the yet but partially organized Union Army
was oncampod around Washington, General
Niger, who is now at the head Of the weather
department, and has bccame a national pet,
known rs " Old Probabilties," commenced
the organization Of the signal service,
which has since expanded into such useful
proportions Orders were issue By the war
department for details Of certain number OF
lieutenants and sergcants from each regiment
who were directed to report to Gen. Mycr, 70
be put in drill for the new service. As the
selection Of these details was lett 10 the com
handing oliicers Of regiments and companies,
it was quite natural that they were made, in
many instances, with view not ~ reduce to
any great extent the efficiency Of the several
Organizations, beyond numerical depletion.
The result was concentration Of talent which,
while it might have been good for fighting, did
not promise well for signaling and the "chief'
soon discovered that he must make his requisi'
ton in q form that would draw out different
material. Accordingly he issued circular
calling for educated men-men who had been
through college, perchance. and at the same
time established a sort Of competitive ex-
animation" TO sift out the more stupid ones.
