LELAND STANFORD, president of
the Central Pacific, has written q
letter on the subject Ofthe State
control of railroads, taking the ex-
treme railroad side of the question.
He holds that railroads should be
treated in exactly the same manner
as other kinds of property, and that
the State has no power or control
over them. The decision of the Su-
lpreme Court in the Granger eases he
regards as contrary to law and
commnnishc. There being no diff
ference between railroads and other
property, be does not see why they
cannot water their stock ss much as
they wish, and, why they can not
contribute money 70 control an
election, when they WIN be benefited
by the result of the election.

In the House, at Washington,
Representative Springer has intro
duced bill providing for the ap-
praisemsnt of telegraph lines owned
and operated by companies acting
under provisions of the act of Con-
gress passed in July, 1866, entitled
"An act TO aid the construction of
telegraph lines, and to secure to
the government the use of the same
for postal and military purposes"
The bill provides for thea appointment
of board ofappraisers consisting
of five persons, two appointed by the
Postmaster-general, two by the COM
panies interested and one by the four
previously selected,wh are author
lied to ascertain the actual cash value
of all plant property and effects of the
company interested, including value
and character of all leases, contracts
and franchises, and also receipts of
such company from all sources,
operating expenses, rate charged for
transmitting messages, royalty paid
to inventors and all other facts nee
essary to thorough knowledge of
the subject. The appraisers for each
company shall meet in the city of
New York within one month aft er
the passage of this act, take an oath
for the faithful performance of their
duties, appoint clerks, experts, etc.
They are required to keep a record
of their proceedings, preserve all
evidence taken, have power
and are required to examine
books, contracts, abstracts of
title, leases and all papers deemed
by said appraisers necessary, in or
der to enable them to ascertain and
report the true and actual cash val
ue ofall plants, property and effects
OF such company. The reports are
to be forwarded to the Post
master-general by the first of
September and by him printed
and transmitted to congress
at its next December session.
The object of the bill seems to be
to prepare the way for the govern
ment to assume control of the tele-
graph lines of the country. This wuld
be vast enlargement of power, in
the hands of the Federal admin
istration; but the question is, can
these combinations and oppressive
monopolies be submitted to, and
can not the public be vastly benefit
ted by the proposed interference.

THE st. Louis Republican says;
"The evidences ofa disposition in the
so-caIled Granger" states to renew
the legislative war on railways
which the revival of prosperity in
this country put an end to, indicates
that the country has very little to
fear from the great railway combi-
nations which have been recently the
source of SO much apprehension.
The projectors of these powerful
combinations are wise enough to see
the tendencies of the times, and they
can be counted ON not to invite a
legislative antagonism which all
their millions of money can not keep
from being disastrous to themselves
if it is once fairly aroused"

The Supreme Court has affirmed
the constitutionality of the income
tax law. The constitution declares
that "no capitation or other direct
tax shall be laid, unless in proper
tion to the census or enumeration
hereinbefore directed to be taken"
The decision, Justice Swayne, is that
direct taxes, under the Constitution,
are oftwo kinds only-taxes in real
property and capitation or poll
taxes; and that, inasmuch as the in
come tax does not fall under either
of the above heads, it is not direct
tax, and therefore constitutional
under the authority possessed by
Congress to levy excise taxes.
