The stockholders in the Chicago & North
western Railway, at meeting held in Chicago
on the 4th, passed a resolution stating that
they approved of the action of the Directors
and officers in contesting the validity of the
recent Wisconsin legislation, declaring a be-
lief that all legislation of that sort was in VIC
lation of the rights conferred upon railway
companies by their charters, and that it was a
withdrawal of the protection which the laws
of the State afford to all other property-hold-
ers, as well as a practical confscation of pri-
Vate property.
A suit under the Potter law was decided in
the Circuit Court at Milwaukee on the 4th.
The case was brought by Henry NJ. Ackley

way Company. The plaintiffs shipped
two carloads of lumber from Oshkosh
to Oconomowoc, and rendered the legal
rate Of freight therefor, which was $50. The
company demanded $4S, and suit for re-
plevin was brought. Judge Small decided the
law constitutional, and the jury accordingly
gave a verdict for $500, the value of the lum-
Der, in favor of the plaintiffs, and awarded six
cents damage, together with the costs of the
action. The case will be appealed to the
Supreme Court.
Dispatches were received at the War De-
partment in Washington on the 5th, forwarded

their agent had taken the war-path In formid-
able numbers. With regard to the manner of
dealing with these Indians, Gen. Stanley saws
to Gen. Custer "They are not likely to be
amenable to soft words, and you had better
use powder and lead at once" In due season
Gen. Custer would start in pursuit of the In
dams.
