Railroad DecIsIon..

The Railroad Commissioners gave forth
two decisions on the 2d-one from the
voters of Benton Township, in Sedgwicb
County, who had petitioned the Fort Scott
& Wichita Railroad Company for the
establishment of depots in each township,
on the line of their road, together with side
tracks. which request, if granted, would
locate the two depots within five miles Of
each other. But when bonds were voted
for the building of said road, it was stipu.
lated as one requirement that a depot and
side track should be established at Harri
sonburg, point half way between the cen.
ter lines Of these two townships, and only
five miles north of another depot on the
st. Louis & San Francisco road. To break
this requirement the Board concluded that
1t would be doing injustice to all parties,
therefore the petition was refused. In the
other case, John Davis, lumber merchant
OF Wichita, complained against the st.
Louis & San Francisco Company of hav,
ing been overcharged on several car loads
OF lumber shipped by him from Eureka
Springs to Wichita. The evidence, how.
ever, failed to bear Mr.. Davis out in his
grievances, and the Board decided against
him. On car, calculated to carry 24,OO0
pounds, he had put $4,000 pounds; therefore
on basis of so much per hundred, the
company charged him n per cent. over and
above the amount that he was to paw for
the car, on the 1900 pounds extra This
the Board held TO be just an equitable.

KANSAS STATE NEWS.
The Quo yVavranto o. ~


The answer of the Kansas Pacific Rail.
way Company to the petition in quo war.
ranto now pending in the Supreme Court
was fled on the afternoon of the I'd with
the Clerk of that Court. 1t is a LENGTHY
document, and the railroad starts out with
the sweeping allegation that it is not
corporation created by any law of the
Territory or State of Kansas, and that it
claims no rights, privileges or franchises
as such. 1t alleges that it was created bv
an act of Congress-; that by virtue of the
rights conferred by that act it was organ
lied, built its line of road and under such
authority it has ever since operated and
still continues to operate its line of road ::
that the road constructed by it is on n
different line than that designated by the
Territorial act, and that the consolidation
it has entered into with the Union Pacific
and Denver Pacific Railroad Companies
was made under authority found in the
acts of Congress creating it, and not under
any law Of the State. 1t denies the right of
the State to forfeit its franchises, claiming
that the paramount control over it exists
solely in the Government of the United
States; it denies the existence of all the
facts alleged by the Attorney General as
specific causes for forfeiture, it denies that
it Is a parallel and competing line with the
Union Pacific Railroad; it denies that the
consolidation is in violation of the State
laws; it admits that it does not keep its gen.
eral offices in the State, but says there was
no such law in force when the Territorial
charter of the Leavenworth, Pawnee G.
Western Railroad Company was passed, un.
dee which it disclaims all right, privilege
or authority. 1t closes with n general de-
NAL Of all the allegations of the petition
not expressly admitted, and attaches as
exhibits copies of the acts of Congress and
the Legisi '.ture of Kansas, and other public
documents pertaining to the Kansas Pacific
and Union Pacific Railroad Companies.
The answer of the Union Pacific Railway
Company, to the petition requiring them
to show by what authority it exercises the
franchises of the Kansas Pacific Railway
Company, was fled at the same time, set.
ting forth substantially the same facts and
allegations. An application and bond
were filed for the removal of the cases to
the United States Circui. Court.

sToWAWAY.

The body of a young man, sp
parently about twenty years of age,
a stranger to the crew and passen>
gers, was discovered 10 the hold of
the steamer Professor Woermann OF
Hamburg as the sailors were unload
ing her on the 18th of July last, near
Little Popo, on the western coast of
Africa. The body was found COM
pletely blocked in by huge bales up
on bales of merchandise and other
heavy goods, sufficient space how
ever, having been left for the unfor-
tunate man to breathe, and even to
move about little. It was suppoes
ed that he had contrived to ensconce
himself here when the vessel was
about to sail from Hamburg, being
under the impression that her desti
nation was England and that he
would therefore be relieved before
the food with which he had provided
himself would would be exhausted.
By his side was the bone of leg of
mutton, of which he had devoured
all the flesh. He had also found
means of breaking open case of
Hollands. and had emptied two bot
ties. His provisions having been
consumed, and there being no means
of escape, or even of making his
presence known, the unhappy stowN
away had.apparentIy died a linger>
ing death from exhaustion.

MALONE AND BUTLER.

Baltimore Sun: The defeat on the
same Cay Of Malone in Virginia
and Butler in Massachusetts, com~
pIetes in an agreeable manner the
parallel between the political careers
of these two INSCRIPTIONS demagog-
ues. The one was protested Re-
publican, the other protested Dem
ocrat, but neither can be said to
have been actuated by any principle
more respectable than desire for
personal aggrandizement. Both
were products of the corrupt transi
ton period in the history of their
respective States, and, by debauch-
ing as far as lay in their power the
political life of their fellow citizens
each in bis sphere gave origin and
name to new political vice. Ma
honeism and Butlerism are words
that have become recognized 10 our
American vocabulary as expressions
denoting sordid ambitions, corrupt
methods and interruptions misuse of
political power, and relieved by any
eunobIing sentiment. Sentiment, in
deed, these leaders secuted as az old
fogyism of an impracticable past,
and in their contempt for ell gener
Gus motives of human action they
4
had their successes, and it is not i'm
possible that their temporary domin.
alton in the two oldest and proudest
States of che Union may not turn out
in the end to have been for the good
of Commonwealth which, though
always excellent in many respects,
have hitherto been wanting perhaps
10 the one virtue of humility.

to the spring 10 the pines, take up
water in his skull, and carry it back
to the gsllows, where he drank it
with as much delight as if be had
spent two weeks in the burning lake
which we read about. One night
last week one of our citizens met
something on the street which frigh
tened him. 1t had no flesh on its

skeleton, and as it walked it made a

rubbing together. This strange OBJ
