Wo publish this morning tho opinions OF Judge
Curtis md William N. Evarta on tho late Wis.,
ool,sin legislation relating to railways. Both
opinions will be road with interest, although there
is little In either for which tho public
has not boon prepared by articles pub
lIshod nlroady in THE TRIBUNE. Mr.. Curtis
argues that tho Legislature has no powor to
prescribe tho remuneration the railway
companies el1all receive for future services |;
that the laws in question are invalid for The roa-
son that thoy tnko the property OF tho oitizon
without giving him any compensation thcrcfor !;
that thoy indirectly, at oaet, invaltdate tho obl-
cations Of contracts; and that tho power to pre-
scribe a achedule OF rates for railways other
docs not oxiat IN the Legislature or that It Is
unlimited, which is, ho would have 1t, absurd.
Mr. Eyarts confines nimBolf to ono main point,
reserving for future consideration the minor
onos which suggest themselves, and on which
bis opinion Was asked. The burden Of bis argyll
mont is that tho laws in question tako tho prop
erty of individuals without making any oompen-
sation therefor, and that tho provision Of tho
Constitution OF tho State Of Wisconsin which
resorvo tho right to ropoal or modify tho ohartor
Of corporation cannot be construed 10 cover
caao Of virtual coufiecation.

We print elsewhere nota from Mr. Hermann
Raster, III which ho says that tho Times report

t.aan my printed account Of the proceedings.
We carried it no further than the Hish-German
coalition known rs tho "Pooplo's Party" which
was organized for specific purpose and was
remarkably succossfnl in achieving It; but Mr..
naator gives it d boaring ovon on tile imitation

One day lpst weok when tito Civil Appropria-
tton bill Was boforo Congress, Mr. J. D. Ward,
member from this city, made atriko in favor
Of reform by moving tho following amend"
mont:
In uc LAD strike out 81 800 and insert In ou tcre
OF 81, ,2OO 10 that It will read "8uparlntsn1cnt Of
aeed-room, &, ,20o."
bIr Ward gave as tho reasons for this motion
that the oflcer was employed but part Of his
time, and that tho character OF the work he par-
formed "rcquired about aa much skill as to
measure potatoes" This proposltion to save
5000 year was bold ono. It WAS M attempt
to reduco salary, and, therefore, threatened
the integrity Of tho whole Civit-servico system
Of tho Government. No precedent OF this kind
has been permitted in Congress- for fifteen years.
Mr. Ward, as now member. did not understand
tho usagos Of the House. Twelvo hundred
dollars may DO auAicient compensation
in his district for measuring pota'
toes, but not at Washington. Tho Beed'
distributor is a constituent Of some member oi
fully iu town or legislative caucus and Iii
compensation, like tho compensation OF ali Gov
ornment employees. is regulated not by tho value
OF his services to tho public, but Of his Boryico
to his patron. The motion provoked conHidera
BILE Indignation. New York, Penusylvania, Iowa
! Alabama, and Ohio rushed to the defense;
was question OF 5000 year, aud of untolt
consequence az precedent. Tie debate va
elaborate aud learned; the forensic display wa
| brilliant; and, after spending time that cost th
Government $4,000, the House stamped th
proposition to death, every member o1cep
twenty-seven voting against it. Our membe
got lesaon In reform that he will remember.

Tho report Of the Wayg aud Means Committee
the House OF Representatives. It is concise
document, trayersng tho evidence adduced, aud
presenting tho conclusions reached by tho Com
mittae. Tho law authorized tho appointment Of
thrco persons to assist tho Internal Rcvonuo Of
flcals In collecting delinquent taxes. Tho COM
mittee find TINT this provision has boon exactly
royorHod, t. e., that tho informal Revenue De-
partmont bus been appointed to assist
certain persons to whom collection con-
tracts were awarded. sscrotary Riohard-
son, notwithstanding Sawyer, and solic-
itor Ban1eld may be surprised to learp that
tho efforts of each to shift the responsibility for
tho making of tho contracts upon the othor two
have resulted in involving all throe in common
ruin. They are ''Bcvorely condemned by the
Committee for inoficieucy and caro1esanoss; 1T
the eamo time, they aro acquitted Of dishonest
Intentions by & saving clauso. Tho Committoe
furthor report that a large part, IT not all, OF
the claims collected by sanborn ought not to
havo been mado tho subject Of 3 contract ; they
might, and probably would, have been collected
by tho regularly-employed servants Of the
Government. Recommendations subjoined to
the report are: ~ That tho law authorizing tho
contracts DO rcpoaled (2) TINT all further clama
undor It DO excluded from the Jurisdiction OF the
Court Of Csaims. This is such report aa the
people demanded. It "aovorely condemns the
threo officers of the Government who haye nnads
