A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial
has interviewed Judge Stafford, Of Hillabo1o, O.,
who granted tho injunction against tho praying
women Of that town, upon the application Of
". II. Dunn, the druggist. Judge Stafford did
not hesitate to declare that he granted the ill.,
junction because the singing and praying were
q public nuisance. According to Judge Stafford,
DR.. Dunn has ono Of tho largest and most costly
drug-HtoroH in tho State. Uo has never sold
liquors to bo drunk upon tho promises. or to
minors and drunlarls, and Lis salcB aro in quan-
titles creator smaller such Us may bo incidental
to his general business. The Judge stated that
thoro WAS no objection to singing and praying
when they wore conducted 10 az not to disturb
private righta or public tranquility, and added:
When such worship Ia mado the rreto1t Of breaking
up mans awfu rade of interfering with the quiet
and peaceful enjoyment Of Lila own property; Of

flaming his calling md character, aud this without in
or1nisRlon for sx consecutive weeks ia tho .ors aud
COLI Of wintor, creating hcartburnnga among ncigh-
bors defamation Of private character and an unset
tlod state Of soc!ety,-thRt, Sit, Ia nuisance.
The Judge might nave added TINT tho man
who gets ESQ day for urging women to DO this
kind Of buainoHs ia greater nuisance still.

II tho facts conflict with Senator Logan's hnan-
cial theories, SO much tho worse for tho facts. The
CHICAGO TRIBUNE and the Cincinnati CONNER
ctal, in the legitimate oxorciBo Of their func-
tions as reporters Of tho news, have. recently
stated that money was easy in the West, aud
that loans could easily be obtained at low
rntos Of interest upon good security.
Senator Logan undertook to answer these
statements yesterday by the assertion
that thoy wore false, and had beon manufactured
by TIE TRIBUNE aud the Commercial for political
purposes. Ho is reported to have accompanied
thoso arguments by grotesque display Of antics
illustrative Of Senatorial logic aud dignity. 6on-
ator schurz put IN end to the matter BY reading
the same nows out Of tho Cincinnati Gazette and
tho Inter- Ocean, leaving senntor Logan to
choose between accusing hia own party organs
Of falaehood or confossing lis own folly.

Tho action OF tho House Of Representatives
in tho Arkansas contested election case, yeatcr-
day, gives feeble ray Of hope that THO partiHan
PRACTICES heretofore obtaining in contested
elections may DO broken up, although the
majority report giving A1r. Wiltshire pri1na
Jacie claim to his seat, thus allowing him to
draw back-pay from tho commencement Of tho
session, was adopted. There have now boon
nine OF these casos Bottled during tho present
session, and in evory instance tho Boata have
boon awarded by purely partisan vote to tho
Republican claimant. Tho list comprises Asa
Hodges, from tho First Arkanaas District, md
". ". Wiltshire, from tho Third; John P.
O. shankB, from tho Ninth Indiana !;
J. Halo 8ypher, from tho First Louisiana !;
Lionel A. Sheldon, from tho Second, and George
L. Smith, from tho Fourth John J. Davis, from
tho First West Virginia, and J. II. Hagana, from
tho Second. Pinchback, who claimed seat
from Louiaiana At large, would havo been
awarded it Ind 10 not preferred to go to the
Senate. OF the membera named in this list,
those from West Virginia have boon given their
BEATS absolutely, and the rost arc Hoatcd t,,.ina
Jacie. Tho debate upon tho majority aud minor-
ity reports in the Wilshiro caae, and tho snbse-
quent proceedings Of the House, show. however,
that at Inst there is = disposition on the part
Of some Republicans to break up this
infamous partisan business Of giving acats to
claimants simply because they aro Republicans.
Although the bolt was not sufficiently strong to
defeat tho minority report, it waa mono tho less
significant as showing that hereafter It will be-
difficult for claimants to got Heats upon purely
partisan considerations, md that the storeotypod
doctrine Of "party, right or wrong" ia to meot
with sharp protest in future. It is altogether
probable, Judging from tho temper OF tho bolt
ing Republicans, TINT Mr. Wiltshire is tho
last claimant who will bo able, af-
ter boing elected by fraudulent roturnB
to go to Washington armed with tho certificate
Of Govern or elected by tho same fraudulent
vote, and got hiB scat because he is Republican.
Among all the signs OF tho breaking up Of In
discriminate aud absolute party fealty, there arc
none moro encouraging than this protest from
leading Republicans against partisanship, and
their determination that an honest and loyal
election alone shall entitle man to take 4 aeat
in the House Of Representatives.

RAILROAD LEGIBLATION IN WISCONSIN,.
Tho Legislatures Of Wisconsin and Minnesota
are likely to pnss pro-rata, or non-discriminat-
ing, railroad freight bills. It has been claimed,
and is probably truo, that the passage Of the ILL
nois nailroad law operated to the advantage Of
Milwaukee and to the dotriment of Chicago,
enabling, as it did, the Milwaukee railroads to
carry freight from the northern counties Of this
State at such ratoB as they chose, while the Chi
cago roads were required to carry by uniform
schedule. II tho Wisconsin Legislature now
onacs 3 similar law, ne ahall have au opportunity
to SEQ whether sauce for tho goose IL also sauce
for tho gander. No legislation enacted in Wis
consin can operate on freight passing from Wis
consin to Illinois or from Illinois to Wisconsin.
The Supreme Court Of the United states de-
ciaed that point In tho Reading Railway case.
Tho Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Gun
carry freight from Western Wisconsin to
Chicago for song il they choose, despite
any law Of Wisconsin. whilo the Milwaukee i
st. Paul Company will be compelled to raiao
their rates on eyory milo from milwaukee,
westward. As regards freight from Minnesota,
tho two ronds will DO on m equal footing. Both
Of them eau carry wheat from the wost aldo Of
tho Mississippi River for whatever price they
ploaso, while tho Milwaukee Road may 10 forced

bnnk Of that stream. Tho object Of passing a
pro-rata Inv In Minnesota Is not clear, unless 1t
10 to kill Duluth aud that would seem to be 4
work Of snperorogation.
There is another reason why the State Of Wis
consln should "go allow" in passing such laws.
Wisconsin Ia not ovor-supped with railways.
Even now we hear q loud cry from
the at. Croi1 Valley for q company
to take that iong-dolayod land-grant, aud

Most Indian wars break out in tho spring. In
the spring young braye's fancy lightly turns to
thoughts Of acalps. Tho freah grass proyiloa
abundant food for his pony; the rationH from
the Agency will support him until massacre and
plundor give him new supply. So he starta on
tho aar-path, oager to murder and torture tho
subjects of the Government that has armod and
equipped him. This year, however, deapito tho
mildness of tho winter, tho graaa has not yet
shown itsof above tho ground. Marauding
bands must carry food for their horsos as well as
for themselves. A war under such circunl-
RtanceB ia M anomaly. Whou thia outbreak has
boon suppressed, Congress- owes 1t to tho people,
who will pay for tho suppression with money
and lives TO discover tho cauaas Of tho
unprecedented conflict. Let US know how such
q war could be caused, and what man or mon
sucl, war would benefit. When these facts aro
laid baro Let us lnow whether the men benefited
by such war aro In position to cause 1t, and
whether they or their agouta arc really rosponsi-
bio for 1t. We hayo submitted for many yeara
to bo pluudorod by the Indian Ring, but, when
tho Ring {omonts war as a means for further
plumber, forboarance ceasos to be virtue.
Tho case, as 1t stands at present. is, III brief,
thia: All reports from the frontier agree IN
saying that tho Indians hayo left the reBorya-
tiona because tho supply Of food there haa either
already been, or is just about to bs, exhausted.
We happen to know that Gen. Ord has notified
tho Iudian Commissioner tlat now supplies saus.
be on hand by Marot 18. Now tho present
atock was intended to last until Juno so. stores
wore contracted for with lavish protusion, ~
