The AUsTINIANs make a joke of their
projected railway. This is shown by
the tone OF levity which pervades the
following, from the Rereille of March 81 !:
4 Chinaman called on A. Nichols,
this morning. and requested q contract
for furnishing Chinese labor to build the
Austin and Battle Mountain Railroad.
Nichols informed the celestial contrsc-
tor that he was not just then prepared
to make arrangements for labor, and re-
quested John to call again in . year.

LEGAL NOTES.
Effect Of Judge Drummond's Decision
Exempting Capital Stock Of Corpo-
rations from Taxation--Nichi-
gan Supreme Court.

SPRINGFIELD, III. April 13.-The decis.
lon Of Judge Drunmond enjoining the col
lection OF taxes on the capital stock Of rail-
roads and other corporations in this state,
Is the subject or much comment here.
The decision was made in opposition to
that OF our supreme court, and it Is con-
sidered that this fact il one tending to es-
tablish the belief that the latter decision
will not be sustained. 1t is said the de-
cision was expected, if not promised, last
August, the cases having been argued in
June, and that tho withholding Of the de;
cision prevented an appeal to the United
States supreme court, and hearing at
the April term, The attorney generai
however, has taken prompt measures 70
carry the case up, and hopes to get near
ing in the United States supreme court al
the October term. The amount OF the tax
of 1873 which the state will lose 1t the su-
preme court sustains this decision is about
5000, 600 and the local tax on the same
capital stock is not less than 10 times as
much, or $3,0O0,000, The tax of 1874 is
now being collected, and the assessed value
of capital stock for that year was $43, 00O,-
600, on which the state tax amounts to
100000, and the taxes in cities, towns
and counties to not less than 81, 800, 900,
OF course the corporations will not pay this
tax until the case is decided. and the re-
suit will be serious deficiency in the
state and local revenue.

From the New York Shipping List, Apr

From the New York Shipping List, April 3.
The produce trade of New York is men
aced on ali sides, aud it is becoming more
and more evident that unless we have
prompt reform in the management of our
canals, aud also Improved local facilities
for receiving and shipping wheat and corn,
there will be greater diversion Of that in
the near future than there has been in the
past. We have seen that the aggregate
receipts at the four competing ports of
Montreal, Boston. Philadelphia and Balti-
more have risen In the last seven years
from 29, 500, ISL bushels to 73, 23l, 06l, or
l44 per cent, while the receipts at New
York during the same period made gain
of less than SO per cent. These four COM
peting ports are not only putting forth the
most strenuous efforts to turn the grain
trade more and more in their favor, but
New York is menanced in another quarter,
1t may be remembered that the last cen
gress passed bill forimproving the South
west Pass at the mouth of the Mississippi
river, on the jetty plan submitted by Cap
tain Eads. This plan provides, substaD-
tally, for a stone wall, laid upon and
backed mp by piles driven and planked
each side of the principal delta at the
mouth Of the river, thus forming a canal
broad and deep, which will project well into
the guilt. and so secure current strong
enough to prevent the deposit of the sand
and mud which is constantly washing down
the river. 1t is also to afford harbor and
navigation for the largest vessels There
seems to be no doubt Of the feasib;l;tv NJ
this enterprise. Captain Eads, in a sneecb
delivered at banquet lately given him by
the merchants at St. Louis, said II un.

the sea-" The merchants of the principal
cities along the Mississippi. and especial
ly those at st, Louis, naturally feel
elated over the prospects thus held out of
emancipating themselves from the mani
fold extortionate charges at New Orleans,
and they profess their ability to build up
an immense direct trade with Europe,
South America and West India Islands
after the work has been completed. Their
ideas are doubtless reflected in this further
extract FROM the same speech The oen-

changes are destined to be wrought, moi

but also in those of import trade, in the
not distant future. We observe that the
Missouri Legislature has already voted q

The conduct of persons in your neigh
boring state, and the articles contained in
some of their newspapers, have excited a
feeling among our people very different
from that which / had hoped to culture
when, after repeated invitations. I agreed
to go to Rockford. Z
1t would be very unfortunate if should
now go to your fair and be the object of
offensive manifestations. Under this i'm
pre- sslon wrote my last letter to you
The newspapers Of your state, to which
yon referred me for indications of public
feeling in regard to my filling the position
to which you had invited me. have not
reached me, SO that l am ignorant as to
what they have said,or whether they have
said anything on the subject.
As you and / have the same object in
view, the harmonious cooperation of the
sections, for the public good, you will see
why use such abundant caution before
reaching a conclusion.
therefore submit to you the inquiry
whether there is any room to doubt my
being accorded an orderly and courteous
reception. If there be-in view of the
great harm which any outrage would do
and the little good which, under the most
favorable circumstances, could hope to
effect, you will admit that it is better for
all concerned that you should accept my
letter of declination as final. If, on the
other hand, there is no such doubt, and
that the good results you have heretofore
contemplated are to be expected, please
notify me by telegraph of your decision.
Also by letter inform me more fully of the
facts, and as well of the earliest day it
would suit you to have the address deliv-
cred, as / am invited to Kansas City be-
fore the 18th of September, and am with
holding my answer.
Yours respectfully,
