The United States Supreme
Court, in the Ease OF tho Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad vs..
the Attorney General OF Iowa, has
decided that carriers for hire arc
subject to Legislative control in the
matter Of freight and passenger
charges. unless protected by the
terms OF their charters. In the c.
vent that their charters authorize
them 10 regulate their tariffs, then
it IS for the Legislature to protect
tho people against unreasonable
oxactiOns, and it is for the courts
to decide what are unreasonable
charges.
This is q very important decision
and one in which every one living

celvsd fifteen letters from gentlemen,

mean business, one Of them sending his

the photograph Of the lady. We have
taken the liberty Of perusing these letters,
and have come 10 the conclusion that the
applicants are all intelligent gentlemen,
who are sincere and earnest, and have
not been influenced by any desire to triile
with what ia really u serious matter. II
called upon to decide between them, We
should DO at loss to know which came
best up TO the requisites Of the business

lake place in the contigent future, the
lady will doubtless bring all the circum.
spection Of her sex in such matters 10
bear upon the applicants. They may re-
gard themselves as now under review,
marching and countermarching, and their
good and bad points compared and con.
sidered. II character can be judged from
penmanship and the tenor Of the letters,
we are right sure that so intelligent n

decide wisely. II all OF them had sent
