Uncle Sam and the Pacific Railroads.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Central
Pacific railroad is before the Z. S.
Supreme court in an action against the
United States to recover freightage on
government property. The railroad
company contend that under the de-
cision in the Union Pacific railroad
case VS.. the United States, these COM
panies are not required to pay interest
which has been paid by the government
on its bonds before the maturity of the
principal of the bonds, and hence the
Government has no present claim
against them which can be subject to
offset against their claim for freight
charges.
On the part of the Government it is
insisted that it would be in derogation
of the rights and powers of a sovereign
to have that freight which its necessi-
ties or the public require to have
promptly transported and delivered, f,
retained until the freight is paid
