FIFTEEN n FARE,
HoW An Imperfeus Railroad Com.
pany Vas Brought 60 Terms.

Some time since the Charleston Rail-
road Company refused to accept the reg
ular fifteen cents fare from Colonel II.
Clay King, who resided at ellis Station.
Colonel King rendered his fare, it wa
refused and a demand vas made for
twenty-five cents, the fare 10 a station fur
Their out, the company having imperi-
ously determined not to accept a less
fare than that amount. But as citizens
have legal rights as we'll as s%oulless cor
porations, an issue was at once made.
Colonel King refused to submit to
the blackmail and was put of the
train. He at once entered a suit
in the Circuit Court for enc
thousand dollars damages against
the company which sought to ride
rough shod over a passenger. A second
tender and refusal of the fifteen cents
fare caused another damage suit to be
brought by Colonel King, and this time
for five thousand dollars. The injustice
of the acts Of the Charleston Railroad
Company attracted no little public atten-
ton, and people began to become
aroused, and were determined to see
what railroad corporations were made
Of and upon what meat they fed since
they had grown so great. Legislative
enaetments against railroads we're in
order, and an Efforts making to so regu-
late railroad fares, freights and priv

corporation willdars assume superiority
over the people, who support all rail.
roads, and without such those purse

In the cases of Colonel King the com

down from its hobby.horse by entering
into a compromise, which secures the
dismissal Of the damage suits and set.
ties for the present the rights Of those
people who dwell on the railroad at and
zeal ellis Station. The document en-
tered of record in the First Chancery
Court as an agreement and settlement is
as follows:
As a basis Of compromise of the two
suits now pending in the First Circuit
Court of Shelby county, Tennessee,
brought by II. C. King vs.. the Mem.
phis and Charleston Railroad Company,
it is agreed on the part Of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad Company that
Communication tickets shall be issued as
soon as practicable to ellis Station at
the following rates, viz. Each ticket
will entitle the holder to fifty trips at the
cost OF Eve dollars for each ticket. Said
ticket shall be good for ninety days. In
the absence of such ticket the lare to
ellis Station shall be fifteen cents. The
Memphis and Charleston Railroad Com
pany does not hereby Intend to reeog-
nize ellis Station as any other than a
flag station, as 1t has heretofore done;
and it is also agreed that the said suits
are TO be dismissed at the defendants
cost.

The Gilmore Concert.

Itseems rather to astonish our Eastern
brethren that the services Of the great
Gilmore with his wonderful band and his
prima donna and operate corps, should
have been secured for the last Gift Con-
cert of the Public Library. But it is
nevertheless true. Mr.. Briggs does
nothing by halves. He has promised
that the last concert shall be the great
est, and he will keep his word. The
18th of February will be the most mem
orable day ever seen in Louisville. Mil
lions Of dollars will be given away, and
the recipients will be greeted with glorl.

never before echoed in any Western
city. For full Information apply to G..

The weather remains cloudy, with
prospects Of more rain. The rain con-
tinued nearly all last night. This wind
this morning shifted around to the north
west. The river here rose I inches yes
terday, and is still rising, with a big
swell coming oat Of the lower Ohio and
tributaries. AT Cincinnati yesterday
the river declined 40 inches. This was
owing to the breaking up Of the gorge at
Louisville and Evansville. The river
rose rapidly, with warm rains. Cum.

tainly, about this proposition. In practice IL
is to be carried out by heavier charge on
tho smaller money orders, under law passed
by the last Congress- There Is posi-
bility that this bears hardly on the classes Tor
whose advantage the system was devised. lhe
people who send small sums need encourage
ment safety for their few dollars is quite as
! important to them as is the security which
| others seek in bank checks or deposit
certificates for larger amounts. The Post-
master General gives way, however, to touch
of feeling, when dwelling on the almost total
absence of the American flag among the mall
CARRYING steamships Of the Atlantic. He thinks
that if the subsidy, soon to expire, that now
is given to a single line on the Pacific were
iudciousy apportioned as an inducemcnt for
American steamers carrying European mails
there would be prospect of new lines being
started by our enteIprising citizens.
This is the first POstmaster-GeneraFs report
in several years that has recorded peace and
tranquility between the Department and the
railroad managers. The latter are not only
pcaceable instead of, as formerly, threatening;
they are now working in concert with the
Post Office to facilitate the rapid and prompt
delivery of the mails. Great progress is already
made in this respect, and the fast mail
trains, carrying no passengers, constl-
tute one Of the most valuable I'M
provements of the present regime. The new
method of collecting postage on newspapers at
the place of publication, proves successful In
increasing the revenues of the Department. and
its continuance is recommended. The report
urges change that will be welcomed IN
the rates for transient publications, and
there can be little doubt that Congress
will soon reduce the postage on news
papers, books, sheet-music, and manuscripts
for publication, TO one cent for two ounces.
In regard to the last of these articles, however,
newspaper editors are not so particularly an1-
ious for q return to the old rates as perhaps
the writers of manuscripts are. The permls-
sion to write a form of presentation In books
and to give information as to the sender and
the contents of packages, without subiectlng
them to letter postage is also recommended.
The general result of the years work has
been reduction of the deficiency OF the
postal revenues by more than half million
dollars. Although the increase of receipts Is
less than in previous years. 1t Is yet enough
to he a matter for congratulation, considering
the unexampled depression in all kinds of
business during the period it covers.
The Post Once will for long while to come
run behindhand in its receipts us compared
with expenses, willie the latter include the
cost of carrying the mail through the thinly-
settled districts of the South and West. But
our country can better afford this outlay than
TO deprive its citizens in remote districts OF
their postal facilities.

THE CU1RTER COMuISSION.

The delay in the appointment by Gov.
Tilden of the members of the Commission
which is to frame and submit general char
ter for cities in this State, is chiefly to be re-
GREETED because it may afford the Republican
Legislature pretext for meddling with the
charter of this city. In view, however, OF the
composition of the Commission, it would be
ungracious to complain of that delay. Will
liam NJ. Evarts, William Allen Butler, Simon
Sterne Joshua NJ. Van Colt. Samuel Hand,
and James c. Carter are lawyers who need no
introduction to the public. f. l.. Godkin, a

peals; Henry +. DimOck, Dock Commissioner
and lawyer transplanted into mercantile life
in this body almost every important interest
seems to be represented, and all interests are
sure of hearing Several of its members

The Legislature owes it to a commission OF
this high character to await the result of its
deliberations, meanwhile keeping its hands oil
the charter of this or any other large city. III
changes are proposed which can be shown to
be Immediately necessary, well and good; if
others are suggested which will effect real
reduction in the public expenditures, and
tighten the burdens of taxpayers, also well
and good; but any attempt to remodel our
city government for instance, in the interest OF
the Custom-hOuse and the Mouissey Demo-
Gratis, will be an ailrOnt too great to be borne.
Such an attempt would be mere sneall-thieying
in politics. The change could hardly hold Tor
more than year, while the charter the Com
mission will prepare ought to be for more than
one generation. The Commission is n judicial
body. with few but able members, who have
no personal or party ends to subserye-
men of various callings, most OF them belong
ing to professions which make OF poll

Legislature is Il large body OF men, often lnfe-
