INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

An Opinion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the Complaint of the
Chamber of Commerce of Danville, Va. /,
Against the Richmond & DanvilIe Road.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday an
nounced an opinion by Chairman Conley
in the case of the complaint of the DAN
vile (Va.) Chamber of Commerce against
the Richmond & Danville Railroad Com
pany. The complaint contained a num-
ber Of charges, the chief of which were
that it made excessive rates; that it dis
criminated in its charges against the mer-
chants and traders of Danvile and in
favor of the merchants and traders
of Richmond Lynchburg and Char
lottesville, and especially that it
Disseminated by refusing to give to
merchants and traders at Danville in re-
spect to merchandise purchased by them at
Richmond and other points through rates
from the point of purchase to the point
at which they might make sale thereof.
Through rates to Danville from both di-
rections were complained of; but the
commission holds that in so far as the
rates are made by other companies with
out the participation of the defendant,
the defendant does not charge itself with
any responsibility therefor by merely
giving the rates in addition to it's own to
any one who asks for through rates.
The commission holds that the just of
local rates can not be determined by a
comparison of them with the rates
charged on long through lines upon
which the freights are carried for long
distances in great volume and at rela-
lively very much less expense than like
reights can be carried when moved in
ess quantities and for comparatively
hort distances
The commission holds that the railroad
an not be compelled to give the same rate
or the two shipments, say, for instance,
from Richmond, Va, to Danvlle, and
hen re-shipped to Goldsboro, N. c., that
gives where there is but one shipment
direct from Richmond to Goldsboro. The
act that its refusing to do so operates in
favor of one town or adversely to another,
does not charge it with unjust discrimna-
tion, which must consist in doing for or
allowing to one party or place what is de-
MED to another. 1t can not be predicated
of action which in itself is impartial.

The WAR FLAGS.
Secretary Endicott Sends a Reply to the
House of Representatives to Mr.. Bou-
teue's Resolution in Relation to the
Captured Battle Flags

Secretary Endicott Sends a Reply to the
House of Representatives to Mr.. Bou-
teiie's Resolution in Relation to the
Captured Battle-Flags.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Secretary Endi-
colt yesterday returned to the House his
answer to the Boutelle resolution calling
for informa ton as to whether the flags
captured by the United States have been
removed from the place where they were
displayed and concealed; and if so, by
what authority and for what purpose:
and further, as to what propositions have
been made by Government officials for
the surrender of these flags, and whether
1t Is true that a portion of them were
actually surrendered TO persons having
no right to their possession.
As preliminary, the secretary has
given brief history Of the flags. Of the
whole number captured and deposited
with the department, c36 were United
States flags originally Y captured by Con-
federates and recaptured from them, and
IA were Confederate flags taken by the
United States troops, making total of
lS0 in the custody of .he department.
When received they were deposited in
vacant attic room of building on Seven
teenth street, occupied by the clerks of
the Adjutant-General's office. In 1867 the
superintendent of the buildings, without
instructions, as far as can be ascertained,
had few of them removed to his office,
where few were placed upon the walls
and the remainder upon shelves or in
pigeon holes
At this time an inventory of these flags
was entered in hook, in which was also
entered description and brief history of
the capture of those that could be identi-
fed as belonging to particular organiza-
tions. They remained here until the lat
ter part of 1874.
The report states that while some Of
the Confederate flags had since been
given the companies or regiments captur-
ing them, none have passed out of the
custody of the department that were in
such custody when Secretary Endicott
assumed charge of the department.
The order to return the flags, and the
order revoking it, are given, and the
statement is made that no flags were
actually returned under the first order.
As to the law requiring the public ex-
hibition of captured flags and trophies,
it Is assumed that the construction put
upon it by former secretaries Of war and
of the navy that the law applied to
troshies takon from a foreign enemy, and
not to those taken during domestic hos
tilities is the correct one.
Considerable of the report was de-
ferred until after it is print ed, and when
it comes up again in the House, it is
likely to provoke lively political discus
sion.
