THE PRO RATA FREIGHT BILL AND
THE NEW YORK RAILROAD COM
MISSION.

April s. 1858, the Senate of New York
referred to the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners a proposed bill to secure
pro rata charges for local freight on rail
roads
The bill provides that no railroad COM
pany shall charge for freight, not through
freight, other than pro rata rates on
through rates of the road, with the right,
however, TO charge not exceeding 20 cents
per ton for loading and unloading for
quantities less than carload and les,
charges as the road shall fix for car
load lots, not exceeding ten per cent. of
carload rates
Thereupon the Commission entered upon
the examination of the proposition being
given nine months by the Legislature in
which 10 arrive at conclusions. The re
port Of the Commission was concluded by
January /, 1854, but its final preparation
and printing was not concluded until April
llth. An official copy Of the report Is at
hand, and it proves to be one Of the most
valuable and interesting documents vet
contributed to the literature Of the railroad
question.
The Commission, fortunately for itself
and for the reading public, which is now
so deeply interested in the railroad prob
lem, has presented its report in 50 concise
a manner and in such clear language that
there is no obScurity whatever, no inyolv-
ment in network of technical terms.
and expressions, and no yoluminousness of
intricate tabular exhibits
The Commission preparatory to reach
ing conclusion, formulated Serie, of
questions calculated to bring out the
knowledge of the people as to the subject
in hand. and also of all complaints, and
the needed facts relative to freight ship
ments and business Of all railroad lines in
New York The questions were also pre-
pared in circular form, and forwarded 400
TO Oranges, % to agricultural societies 20
to Mayors of cities, 10 to Presidents Of
incorporated villages, 86l to dealers, 324
TO railroad companies, 10 10 Boards of
Trade and other commercial bodies $50 to
daily and weekly papers, 1000 TO business
firms and 1000 to manufacturers. Thus
1900 of the documents were sent out
under the seal Of the Commission. In adj
dition, public hearings were had and every
means proper TO bring forth facts and COM
plants as to charges or determinations,
and to draw out the ideas of representative
classes as to the pro rata question and
cognate subjects.
Reduced to its simplest form, this qucs-
tion involves simply the charging of a
fixed rate per mile for all distances and all
goods according to classes, with the mini
mum charge per mile known to railroadiug |
taken as the standard of measurement. |
This proposition is supposed to be popular
in California, and has been gravely advo-
Gated by worthy citizens before legislative
committees as well as upon the floor of the
Legislature And yet ii is true and clearly
demonstrable that the establishment of
such a rule would be the most serious Of
injuries to any people, as the New York
Commission proves, and as has been shown
time out of mind

THE Alta is becoming alarmed. 1t says
"The extra session Of the Legislature has al
most run its course and nothing Itas resulted
except factonal strife and deepcncd anmosi-
ties. How far the hold of the party on the poo
pie of the State has been weakened by the
squabbling and the waste of public funds it is
not our purpose now to consider. II is enough
to assert, without fear of contradiction, that the
position OF the party is sufficiently critical to
demand the thoughtful consideration of every
Democrat Yes. you need to rally the faithful,
but 1t VIII be no use until you cast over the
cargo the party has aboard just now. There

The Cincinnati observation-disclosures Found
by the Grand Jury.

CrYcINYAT, May 12th.-The special Grand
Jury appointed to consider the crimes in con
nection with the riot and burning of the Court
house, made its report to-day to Judge Avery
The report treats at length of the causes leading
to the riot, and speaks of the common report
that jurors were brbed of the great complaint
that Courts permit too many delays, and that
good citizens avoid jury duty, 10 the great detri-
meut of a fair administration of justice. 1t also
points out the defects in the Criminal Code
The report commendS highly the conduct
of the Fourteenth Regiment at the
time of the riot, and praises the
bravery of Captain Desmond, who lost
his life in the Courthouse. Fifty-fOur indict-
ments were returned, covering twelve different
grades of crime. but nothing further WIN be di-
yulged concerning these until the arrests are
made. Judge Avery, in receiving the report,
made brief defense of the Courts, and re-
marked that the public would judge whether
the jury had done its work well or not. 1t has
been made known that one of the indictments
found by the special Grand Jury was against 7.
G. Campbell, the attorney who defended William
Berner, the murderer of Kirk, for bribery.
Campbell, upon hearing of the Indictment went
to the Court waived legal notice of indictment,
pleaded mot guilty" and gave bond in the
sum of SlO0o ior his appearance at this term of
Court
