RAILROAD TAX CASES.
Arguments Made by Wilson, Edmunds,
Evarts and Raymond.


[coPyight, 1855, by the California 4ssociatsi Press
WASHINGTON, January 12th-At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Wilson's argument before
the supreme Court to-day, representing the
State of California in the railroad tax case
Senator Edmunds, of counsel for the com
pany, addressed the Court The defend
ants contended that the action of the local
authorities in levying taxes on railroads in
the manner which it did was equivalent to
the State taxing Government agency and
levylng tax upon an interstate commerce
organization. The Pacific railroads. he
contended, were Government institutions
and its agency, because elected by the Uni
ted States to transport its mails and NUM-
tons of war, and were interstate, rather
than local corporations, because of the
operation of lines of railway from Ogden
through Utah, Nevada and California, and
the law of California relative to taxation
did not contemplate such a classification of
property as had been made. The action of Ii Q
Board of Equalization, he contended, was
discriminating against the property of a
corporation and within the inhibition of
the Fourteenth Amendment Of the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Senator EVarts followed Senator Ed
munds, and spoke an hour and a half
celebrating the principles Edmunds had
Idlu uOWH-
Greed Raymond spoke for half an hour
before the Court adjourned. He answered
Wilson's prop osition, in his opening for
the State, that the State had a right to dis
criminate against corporations within its
bounds. because the corporations had re-
ceived benefits and privileges denied in
dividuals. Raymond contended that the
contrary of this proposition was true ANY
person in California could exercise all the
rights exercised by the Central Pacific that
was derived from the State. The right of
eminent domain was not exercised in favor
of corporations, but for any person in
charge of a public use. Any individual
might own and operate line of railroad
in the State, and no corporation can pre-
vent it.
Tomorrow the Court will divide the
four hours between Raymond, represent
ing the company, and Attorney-G General

OzoNE.-The CURIOUS substance known
as ozone, the nature Of which was so long
a mystery, and about which so many con-
hicting hypothesis have been devised, is
now, says the Lancet, becoming we'll known
to us. Ozone is a denser form of oxygen.
Its specific gravity is "a, that of common
oxygen being Is, and that of hydrogen l.
1t is highly probable that its molecules
contain three similar oxygen atoms. In
the concentrated state it is powerful
irritant poison, and it is very unstable,
decomposing with explosion, and with ey
olution Of heat, and exerting powerful
action on oxidizable materials For some
time past it has been known that it lique-
fies under the influence of combined cold
ar,d pressure The liquor is indigo-blue,
and its vapor in a tolerably concentrated
state has color which can only be COM
pared to that of an Italian sky. 1t is a
very dangerous substance to work with

San FRANcIsco, January 12th.-[Special ]
AT half-past 3 o'clock this afternoon
Marcus II. Herr, son-in-law OF Eohn A.
Benson, who has been so prominently con-
nected with the United States land survey
frauds, and is now under several indict-
ments, received telegram from New York
City, signed John A. Benson, and stating
that the sender was about to start for San
Francisco.
The latest news in reference to Benson
was that he had been caught in Denmark,
and was detained there in Jail, awaiting the
pleasure Of the United States authorities.
Marshal Franks left this city few days
ago under instructions from the Interior
Department, and was to have sailed for
Europe this morning.
LATEE-It appears that the above is
mistake. Benson went to Europe, Herr
says, to look after some patent rights, and
was about to return when arrested.
