TIE POTTER LAW.

a LETfE RFROM PRESIDENT MITCHELL. OF THE
NoRTHwEsTERS ROAD TO GOV. TAYLOR OF
WISCONSIN.
A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune from
New York, the 2d inst. says: Russell Sage.
vice. president of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, yesterday furnished copy of Pres
ldent MitchelPs letter to Gov. TAYLOR. OF
Wisconsin. in which he reviews the effect of
the granger law, and the course he intends
to pursue. The following are the main
points OF the letter:
MILWAUKEE * ST.. PAUI, RAILWAY.
GENERAL MANAGERS OFFICE,
MILWAUKEE, Sept. p, 1874.
To His Excellency W. r. Taylor, Governor, etc.:
SIR: On the 18th of April last, I. As pres
ident OF the company, sent yoa a commu-
nlcation on the subiect of the so called Pot
ter law, and advising you of the course
winch the company had determined TO pur-
sue In relation to it, and the reasons there
Tor. In that communication / stated that
tne board of directors have caused
this act to be carefully exam
ined and considered by our own counsel
and by some of the most eminent iurisis in
the land, and after such examination they
are unanimous in their opinion that Il q nm
constitutional and void. The board of iirec-
tors are trustees OF this property. and are
bound faithfully TO discharge their Trust.
and, 90 the best OF their ability protect il
from spoliation and ruin. They have sought

consideration, believe it their duty 20 dis
regard so much of said law as attempts
arbitrarily 10 fix the rates OF COM
pensation for freight and passengers. The
POTTER law" was without precedent in the
history Of any State or county, disastrous in
Its effects, and wholly uncalled tor by any,
thing this company had done or tailed 70 do.
Under these circumstances, the officers of
this company not only believed they we're
justified, but it was their duty to decline TO
conform TO its requirements until It's valid
lty and binding force were declared by the
courts. The decision has now been made.
The Potter law must forever stop the invest
ment of capital, both by our own citizens
and strangers, in those great public enter
prlses so essential to the DEVELOPMENT
OF our State. In view Of the
fact that the income to which this company
Is fairly and honesty entitled will. so long
as the present law remains in force, be Sc
riously impaired, the question presents it
self: What course ought it to pursue2 Two
courses are open, either to cut down its
trade service in respect to both quantity and
kind to an extent made necessary by it's
diminished income, thereby withdrawing
from the public the full facilities and ac-
commodations to which they have been ac-
customed in transacting their business: or
to continue something near the present SER
vice, and to submit to the loss thereby en-
tailed.

MORE PROMISING OUTLOOK.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 9.-GentIemen engaged in sgri-
culture, who have been travelling in central,
western, southwestern and Northern Ohio, make
much more favorable report on the crops than
has been sent out by the agricultural depart
ment The drought still continues 10 some ex-
tent, but The wheat and rye are already well mp
and they are looking well in Union, Mason and
Delaware counties and eastward. Toward
the river there is very little corn, but
in the other sections mentioned, the
prospect is one OF abundance. The acreage is
greater than last year, and though the per cent
age of bushels is less TO the acre, the corn is very
solid and will weigh yell. The dry weather has
matured the crop ano the fodder has been en-.
tirely secured. The improved corn returns and
the high price of hogs are resulting in increased
feeding, thus promising greater number
pounds of pork than had been calculated on.

NEW YORK, Oct. THE Tribune tomorrow
publishes long letter from Hamburg, giving an
account of the reception of the returned Aus
trian Arctic explorer. At a meeting of the geo.
GRAPHICAL society Capt Weyprecht the leader of
the expedition related the story of the voyage.
He told how they sailed from Bremen and first
encountered ice, and how they struggled and
battled with it. In the autumn of 1877 they
were firmly enclosed and frozen in. at one
time they had 80 feet OF ice under
the keel, and were in q region of intense cold

on the 10th of last May they left the ship, with
boats drawn on sledges. The way was terri
BILE. They had to break down hummocks
with axes and picks so as to make a road for the
sledges, and there Were frequently days when
they did not make a nautical mile in twenty
four hours. Sometimes they couldn't stand and
were forced to crawl over the rough way, and
as they approached broken water they
found there ice which would not
support them standing, and where they were
again forced to crawl. Several days after leav-
ing the ship, a part OF them returned TO get
smaller boat They found everything safe in
the vessel, and Captain Weysprecht thinks il not
imp Ossible that she may yet be recovered.
Through the broken water they made their way
with many hardships, and at last reached open
water. Once on the sea they made the best of
their way westward, rowing by relays at the
rate OF about 10 miles per day. They were picked
M by q Russian fishing smack and treated
with every kindness. Lieut.. Payer spoke of bis

Says a wise woman of to-day: I wonder
how many girls tell their mother everything.
Not those young ladies'" who, going to
and from school, smile, bow, and exchange
notes and pictures with young men who
make fun of them, and their pictures,
speaking in a way that would made their
cheeks burn with shame if they heard it.
All this, most credulous and romantic young
ladies, they will do, although they will gaze
at your fresh young face admlringly, and
send or give you charming verses or bou-
quets. No matter what ''Other girls do"
don't you do it. Schoolgirl firtstions may
end disastrously, as ina a foolish,
wretched young girl could tell you. Your
yearning for some one to love Is a great
need of every womans heart. But there is
a time for everything. Don't let the bloom
and freshness OF your heart be brushed off
in silly fiirtations. Render yourself truly
intelligent. And above all, tell your mother
everything. Never be ashamed to tell her,
who should be your best friend and conf
dante, all you think and feel. 1t is strange
that many young girls will tell every per-
son before 'smother, /" that which IS most i'm
portant that she should know. It is said
that Indifferent persons know more about
her fair young daughter than she does her.
