ONE OF TOM S,OTTS SHARP
TRICKS.

As We limited some weeks ago, IN
speaking Of the great railroad war, 1t
now begins TO leak out through our
Eastern exchanges that Scott has been
hacked by Vanderbilt Of the New York
Central and Jewrtt OF Erie, IN his
struggle with Garrett. It appears
that, a. the opening of hostilities be
tween the Pennsylvania Central and
the Baltimore and Ohio. q compact Nas
entered into between the Pennsylvania
Central, New York Central, and Erie
roads by which the two latter were to
maintain the schedule established blythe
Saratoga Combination, and the former
was permitted to secretly cutunderthose
rates in order that it might be enabled
to bring the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road to terms. So, Tom Scott s agents
receives Instructions to go into the
market and make the best bargains
they could. but to get all the freight
Offering, no matter at what discount
As low as sixty five cents to Chicago
was taken. The result was that every

cent effort Of President Jewett to bring
about a cessation Of hostilities. That
failing, nothing remained for the New
York roads except, IN sheer self-de-
fence, to cut rates also, and recover
their custom. Erie has Ebeen cutting
secretly for two weeks past, and the
New York Central has now followed
suit. Their pretenoe Of standing by
the original agreement with Presid ent
Scott must soon be abandoned and
then we shall witness an open and free
quadrilateral fight. The New York
Herald shrewdly remarks that ''the
whole question may yet turn upon the
point whether railroads having to pay
interest on $500, 600, ,OOOof indebtedness
can serve the public as cheap;y as
those built upon an economic basis,
and with only an Indebtedness of one
third the amount.

BERLIN, March 1G-In the lower house
of the PrusSian Die. to-day, debate was
oDsned on toe first reading Of the new
Ecclesiastical bill. DR.. Falk, Minister Of
Public Worship. in a speech explaining the
necessitv for fresh legislation on relations
Of the State with the Church, dwelt e-pe-
ciaIlv on the fact thar the Pope had author
Ized Austrian Bishops TO obey laws similar
10 those which he denounced ia Prussia.
The State was not afraid Of the encyclical,
but considered the matter serious and
would not permit itself 20 be treated
with scorn BY the Church.
Prince Bismarck made powerful speech
in support Of the bill. He said the maxim
| that more obedience was due 70 God than
man, certainly did not mean more one
| diencs was due to a Pope, misguided by
| Jesuits, than 70 a King. The government
was doing is duty in protecting German

A New Judge for Utah
The nomination Of ex-COngressmzn
Parker, of Missouri, to be Chief Justice of

removal Of Judge J. d. Mexican, but does
not indicate any change iii the policy Of
the Administration regarding the question
Of Polygamy. His removal, and that Of
the present Register Of the Land Office in
Salt Lake City, are caused by what the
President deems the fanatical and extreme
conduct on the part of the officers as evI-
denced By their violent attacks upon Gov.
Axtill and ceFtaiu Senators Who recon-
mended his appointment, and by several
acts of Mexican, which are considered i'll
advised, tyrannicaI, and in excess Of his
powers as judge.

ACCORDING to the statement Of the
Washington correspondent Of the Bal
tinlore Sun, Senator Ransom, of North
Carolina, in the closing hours Of the
late Congress-when the almost riotous
haste and confusion favored the snug
Cling Of obnoxious measures through
the forms Of legislation-did a thing
which entities him to the grateful ac-
knowledgements Of the people Cf the
South. 1t seems that a bill had passed
both houses Of Congress without no.
tice, authorizing a writ Of mandamus
issued by any Circuit Court Of the
United States against any State officer,
to remain Of full effect Notwithstanding
the death or resignation Of such officer.
The effect Of the bill, as was ascertained,
would have been to compel the
payment Of all the bogus bonds, State
and municipal, issued during the Radi
cal and carpet-bag rule IN several Of
the Southern States, which would
bankrupt North Carolina, Georgia and
perhaps some other States. 1t Is be-
ieved that the holders Of some SIX mil
lions Of bogus railroad bonds issued by
the North Carolina Radical authorities
inspired this bill, and the common ru-
TIE bill in his ingenious style, by
which suspicion as to its true intent
was not aroused. The bill had already
been enrolled, and was ready for the
signatures Of the presiding officers,
when, through the watchfulness and
prompt efforts Of Gen. Ransom, It was
arrested in the last stage, before be
coming a law.

A STATEMENT was published IN

Hvered at Muldoon, IN this State, that
the white Republicans Of the South
were guilty of exciting the bad blood
among the colored people, and ought
to be got rid Of, if it become necessary
to xii them to accomplish the desidera-
tum." Certain friends Of Gen. Forrest
wrote him at once, asking II he had
been correctly reported. In reply he
says "That he never heard of such a
place as Muldoon, Tenn; that he has
not made a public speech for two years.
and that he has never uttered such
sentiments eitherpubHely pr privately. "
