WASHINGTON, March 25.-The letter of Min
ister Russell state Department. which caused the
Venezuelan to break OFF relations with him,
was not published in the regular volume of diplomatic
correspondence, heretofore stated 1t was published
in House dOcurnent-the report of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs submitted July 81, 1876. Accompany

which would have been diplomatic to say the least to
have committed To weleuarded pigeon-hole in the
department archives. The letter bears date Caracas,
May 3. 1879 and the concluding paragraph which justly
excited the anger OF the Venezuelan Government Is
follows:

ways In which the payment Of so large an amount

States. The cXpedency OF the second is not my prov

1t will be that Minister Russell not only ntimates
that of the chief officers of the Venezuelan Republic
are cOrruptIbe but plainly charges that they have al
ready been corrupted by other nations as means of in
ducng them pay claims against their Government.

HOW TO STOP GRANGER LEGISLATION.

To the EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: Your editorial to-day on the Granger
cases deserves to be widely read The scope and ehect
on railway interests of these Supreme Court decisions
have been misunderstood and greatly exaggerated Is
real service TO have the exact legal results concisey
stated in popular language.
These decisions maintain that charter is contract
Consequently when in charter Gas for instance IN the
cases OF the Northwestern, Chicago and Rock Island 80
other Granger roads, the right to amend alter or repeal
is not in express terms reserved, it follows that
the subsequent Granger legislation can In no way
inpar TIE vested rights of these companies.
Investors In railway securities should hereafter ex
anime the provisions OF State Constitutions and the
charters OF railway companies with much scrupulous
care as they would give the titles TO real estate.
Railway property is far more valuable in those states
where vested rights not subject to the caprces OF
local legislation Let this discrimination In investments
be once established and there will be an end OF Granger
legislation. Yours, RAILWAY INVESTOR
