Decision In the 1sailroad-Tax Cases-As
= Also One About the Sny Carter Ievee.
Sprcfa1 Dispatch TO The Tribune.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, July 14.-In the United
States Court to-day Judge .Dru mmond rendered
q decision in the Railroads.&c. cases. The de-
cree directs the Receivers to pay the State taxes
within ninety days, and permits County Col
lcctors to proceed against the property Of the
roads. Tn case the taxes arc not paid the ex-
ception is made In the cases where the railroad
has passed into the hands Of third parties since
the taxes Of 1873 were due, aud where
road in the hands Of the Re
ceivcrs has been formed by the consolidation
Of two or more roads situate in different States.
The Springfield s. Illinois Southeastern Railroad
comes under the former, and the Ohio g. Mis-
sissippi under the latter. In these cases Re-
ccivers are permitted to 20 into the State Courts
and resist payment with view to settling tile
question Of liability. As to further objection
made iu cases where the Collectors warruut is
not attached to the railroad taX-bo0ks the
Court holds the neglect of the proper officers to
aflix the warrant to the books fatal to the ell
forcclnent Of collection. Several counties in
tcresttd have been guilty Of such neglect, the
warrant being affixed to the general book, not
to the separate book, III which railway property
is listed.
In the Sny Carter levcc case, the Court d.
rerts that the distractions at the head Of tile
Sny. in Adams County, viii. Il diycrts the course
of the stream and destroys tile water-powcr Of
defendants, must be removed by Dec. :35 next.
This order, carried into effect, will destroy the
valuable 1cvec improvement in Adams and Pike
Counties.
III tho case against Morgan County, to recover
for bonds voted to the Illinois River Railroad,
not built and now claimed ly the Peoria, Pekin
d Jacksonville, built partially on the same line,
the Court held that the county must pay the
bonds, which amount to about $SU,0OO.

It Is an indisputable fact that the scalpers
sell regular railroad tickets at from SO to So
less than the regular tariff rates. As the rail
roads claim that they do not sell tickets to these
men nor pay them commissions, 1t seems
strange how scalpers get those tickets and how
they arc able to sell them at reduction. The
plea of the railroads that most OF the tickets
sold BY sealpcrs are stolen by dishonest railway
employees and sold By them docs not hold good.
There are very few railroad tickets stolen, and
when they are their disposal is rather hazard
Gus matter, as they are easily spotted md de-
ers secure those tickets IN a legitimate way,
not directly from the railroad companies, but
indirectly through second parties. Most railroad
companies are III the habit OF selling large

20 to Is per cent. These agents do not use In:
