SLEEPING CAR CHARGES.
A wisconsin Expression on the subject
milwaukee, News

A legislative subcommittee of the Illinois
Legislature visited Chicago on the seven
teenth for the avowed purpose OF investigat-
Ing the outrageous charges OF the Pullman
Car Company. This subcommittee of the
Illinois lawmakers commenced their investi-
cations by first accepting palace car from
the company to bring them to Chicago. After
their arrival In that city another point of in
vestigation was the hospitalities OF the Pull
man company at the Chicago club rooms.
After they had been feaSted, wined, patted on
the back by Mr.. George M. Pullman lionized
in every possible manner, the subcommittee
agreed upon report to the Legislature, the
substance of which is that the charges in
force on the Pullman sleeping cars are not too
high, and that the profits on the business pay
but s per cent on the capital invested. They
report the company's officers get but a rea-
sonable salary, Mr.. George NJ. Pullman re-
ceiving but $4,000 per year
The committee in its report go into details
as to the cost of equipments and running ex-
penses. In the very first item Of their state
ment they estimate the present value of eleven
sleeping cars at S154 900. The presumption Is
that not one OF them is new now, and that it
would not cost to-day over that amount to
build the number new. The committee re-
ported that per cent net was not too
much for the company to realize on such in
tiated valuations. The general opinion Is that
the Pullman Car Companys valuation of its
property Is double what it actually cost and
that the rate they now charge gives them a
net profit of per cent on the capital stock,
which is what would be called watered or in
flated, that if it was placed at its actual value
the net profits would be 16 instead of per
cent This opinion is substantiated by the
fact that Pullman Car Company stock Is not
in the market for sale. Ii their net profits
were but per cent on an honest valuation of
property, the stock would be bought some
times, to say the least Of it.
The facts are, the sleeping car charges are
too high, and should be reduced, if not vol
unfairly by the companies, it should be done
by legislation, and as it is an Interstate
traffic or business almost exclusively, it is
proper subject for congressional legisla-
ton. The travelling public are getting more
interested in the matter every day, and no
doubt the subject will be agitated by the
people till Congress will take hold OF the
matter. The probability is that a Congress
sional ommittee cannot be captured quite SO
easy as the subcommittee of the Illinois
Legislature was the other day in Chicago.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
How Parishes Were Counted Out by the
Returning Board.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-After the filing of
WOolIey's affidavit, Chandler filed letter
and Jewett was examined for several hours
relative to the returns In Louisiana In 1876.
The substance Of his testimony was as fol-
lows:
The understanding among the members OF
the Returning Board was that no effort
known as "bulldozed" parishes; that their
votes should be thrown out, which was done
In Grant and other parishes where protests
were filed. On the evening of November g.,
when 1t was found that the election was likely
to go against Hayes and Packard witness
met Geo. l.. Smith and certain supervisors of
election, who produced returns from a num-
Der OF parishes before they reached the Re
turning Board. Protests were then written
and sent In with these returns, and the board,
without hesitancy threw out the votes from
have the vote from Richland parish thrown
out, but no one could be induced to sign q
protest from that parish.
Gov. Kellogg prepared memorandum,
from which witness was to draw up a protest
against the fairness OF the vote of Richland
After considerable effort John T. Kelly, super
visor of that parish, was induced to sign the
affidavit.
The original memorandum In KelIogg's
handwriting from which that affidavit was
made witness produced and handed over to
Chairman Potter. Witness said that he still
held. as he had previously testified before the
Morrison committee, that a great deal of the
shame or blame, as the case might be, as to
the result of that election, rested with him
self and the Republican committee. The
Office of the State Registrar of Voters took it's
instructions pretty generally from the Repub-
lican committee.

tn. pronosed Payment for the Con.
sfructinn OF the Mississippi Jetties.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Senate Com
rnittee on Transportation Routes to the Sea-
hoard has made a favorable report on the ap-
nJicati0n of James B. Eads and his associates
Tor relief The committee say the works at
the South Pass Of the Mississippi are declared
by an army board to be OF substantial an
permanent character, free from danger by the
action OF the water or obstruction by the
teredo insect. The iettied channel is regard
ed as great improvement, and at no time
more evident than at present. The commit
tee proposes substitute for the pending Dill.
The former authorizes the SECRETARY Of War
70 draw his warrant on the Secretary OF the
Treasury Tor S750,0O0, To be paid to Esds and
his associates. When a channel shall have
been obtained, by the action OF the jetties and
auxiliary works, twenty five feet deep and

OBJ aimed, $500, 200; and like amount when

lars provided for in the act heretofore passed
Is to be paid by the United States in ten or
twenty years after the rendition OF the ser
vice required. One hundred Thousand dollars
per annum are to be paid for twenty years,
provided that Eads and his associates open
the mouth Of the channel through the jetties

feet In width at the bottom, and having
through it depth of thirty-six feet, without
regard to width. The bill land report were

A CARD.

After mature reflection. / have concluded to

ci7S which have OF late appeared in the Demo-
Graf against me.
am not acquainted with any of the persons
who appear as owners Of the DEMOCRAT; have
never met one of them to have conversation
the editor. when l see him although l am told
that he is the author of these eTsonal attacks
on me.
The principal false accusation he reiterates
against me is that l am thief having stole
$4,000 from the Charity Hospital.
n yer stole s6Uou, &c. or auy dollars from the
Charity Hospital; meyer was Investigated as
stated in last Fridays DEMOCRAT; vas never
summoned before any investigating committee,
had witnesses summoned or heard that any
other party had witnesses summoned or ex-
amined b fore Mr.. Dupre or any other person
or committee in relation to such matter, and
never had knowledge that such an in Investigation
was sought for or desired-in fact l have no
ludes. aud that only from recollection l have
of seeing this same accu aation made some
years ago against tMr. Stoutemyer the editor
OF the Times. and my impression now is that it
was shown to De falsely made against him.
Aequa1ntances of mine. in whom have con-
fdence. assure me that Mr. Hearsey would not
knowing y lend himself 10 make these unjust
and untruthfu statements against ae Hence
i res pectfully srequest him to make inquiry OF
the officers OF the Charity Hospital who were in
authority at the time when this theft was said
the Legislative records. And then IL after maxim &
this inyestlsat alton, he finds tnat he mas been
imr osed upon by his informant, that he will re-
tract the injurious charges made against me as
publicly as he has made them.
If Mr.. Hearsey is as assume him to be, the
author OF the above personal attacks, would
suggest that he Inquire OF my aequaintanees as
IN this city. And to faeifssep @ p1 him IN this % YOU'D
/, mention the names of the following gentlemen
with whom, among others have had varied
