A KAILKOAD SUIT.
Argument w as commenced iu Ihe
iipreme court court today in au im
portant case of the Illinois Central
railroad conipauy, plaintiff' in error,
against the people of thesta;e of Illi
nois. This was a suit brought by
oue Jno. M. Mars, in the name of the
state, against the railroad coinpany
undcr an act of the legislature passed
May 22d, 1873, entitled au act to
prevent extortion and unjust dis
crimination iu rates charged for the
transportation of passengers and
freight." The plaintiff' alleges that
the railroad company charged him
higher rates on a quantity of 6alt
snipped from Chicago to Tuscola
thaa that fixed by the railroad and
commissioners, appointed under the
act above mentioned. The company
admits the alleged overcharge, but
maintains that the state commission
ers had no legal authority to fix rates
for transportation of merchandise
over its road, and that the act which
assumes to gire such authority, is un
constitutional and voir?, for the rea
son that it impairs the obligation of a
contract between the state and the
company embodied in the companys
charter. The case was submitted to
the circuit court of Douglas county
upon the agreed statement of facts.
T hat court held that the aci was cou
constitutioual and valid, and assessed
a fine of sjilOJO against the railroad
company. Judgment was affirmed
by the supreme court, and the case
now comes hero upon a writ of error
for a final review.
