Recent news from Chicago states that tbe Union Pacific, Northwestern Rock Island and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy auditors and general freight agents met in Chicago tbe other day aud practically decided on a uniform system of through way-billing to points of destination in Nebraska. The custom heretofore has been to way-bill to tbe Missouri river and re-bill to the destination. This has caused much annoyance and frequent over-charges.

Callaway of Butler county writes to the editor of tbe Journal saying : "I fcave been told by Butler county officials, who were defending J. C. Roberts in his legislative course, that J. C. got his money as you and all other members got money, and that it was not from railroad companies, but from the temperance society, woman suffragists, Sec; that your hotel and other necessary expenses were paid by said societies. Now what the pub lic wants to know is, if a would-be congressman would take money in an indirect way for simply doiug bis duty, or did they do special favors for these societies that were not to tbe best interests of their constituents, for which they received this money or were paid hotel bills, &c. Please rise and explain." Our friend Callaway has evidently heard some pretty tall stories, perhaps by way of a joke. If it was serfeusly meant, so far as the writer hereof is concerned, the man who makes the charge either maliciously or ignorant ly tells what he must know to be false, if he knows anything at all about the matter. Our short legislative ex perience convinced us of the fact thai not every legislator is corrupt, aud that not every interest works corruptly to carry It ends. In fact, there is much less crookednesq than some peo ple believe. Men of character will not allow themselves to be tampered with by considerations outside of public policy, and their acts among any body of men will comport with their character. It is doubtless true that while most men holding office recognize it as a public trust to be exercised In tho interests of the public welfare, there are men of very easy political virtue who act upon the theory that the public is a silly goose to be plucked, and that it rather likes the operation. The lobbyists at a legis lature who are at work upon a scheme in which they have a monied interest, soon find out who is approachable and just how he may be approached, and how far. The unsophisticated reader can imagine just what influ ences might be brought to bear upon him to have hjm say "yes" or "no" on a problem where bis one vote might decide the saving or expenditure of thousands or millions of dollars. But, just as men can be true in tbe ordinary business of life, so they can be and are when they represent the people in public office. Recent news from Toledo, Ohio, reports that on the return trip of an excursion train from Grand Rapids, the other afternoon, six desperadoes with drawn revolvers captured tbe train and committed a daring robbery. One citizen lost $75. One was thrown from the platform. The conductor was badly used in trying to arrest one rough. All .escaped except Larry King, whom tbe police arrested when the train reached the city. A new patent stock car from the Montgomery palace stock car com pany of New York has recently been placed on the road. They are a splen did thing for the stock in transit, and will iu a great measure relieve tbe animals from many cruel hardships suffered by tbe old method of convey ance. In this new car the animals aro put in compartments. The cars are so arranged that the cattle can be fed and watered in transit without un loading. They are supplied with water at the same time the engine is taking water at stations, and food is let down while the train is moving, from bins in the top of the car. - A man in England has eloped with his mother-in-law. His wife says that they had been very bappy until her mother, who was a widow, came to live with her. Her husband's man ner then changed; be became cool and offhand with her, while his man ner to her mother was very affection ate. She at last made up her mind to speak to her mother upon the subject, but before she could find an oppor tunity her husband aud her mother eloped together. Her mother had money, while she had none, and she believed that was tbe bait which had allured her husband. When advised by tbe magistrate to apply to the par ish authorities to make her husband support her, Bhe said she would rather starve than do that. The man Makison, who is charged with the murder of Mrs. Maggie Cahlen, of Weathersfield, III., has ad mitted his guilt and pointed out the place where he concealed the money stolen by him.

Tbe most intense excitement prevails where the proceedings are being held, and around the lock-up where he is confined many threats of lynching have been beard, but the judicious conduct of officers and citizens allayed tbe frenzy. Last night a body of 1,000 men appeared for the purpose of lynching the mur derer, but were dissuaded by citizenB. The confession was brought about by tho aid of defectives.1 They were locked up in the cell over night and personatiuK Walsh, the bank robber, and gaining the' confidence of the murderer aud worming his confes sion fmm him. A very important decision has been recently rendered by tbe United States Circuit Court, for the northern district of Ohio, which, bears directly upon tbe question of discrimination in freight rates. The complainants were coal dealers, who were charged bigbsr rates than parties who made larger shipments, and for this they brought their action against the Penn sylvania railroad company for viola ting tbe laws relating to commou car riers. Tbe court held that a differ ence in freight rates is justifiable by tbe difference in cost of shipment, but that the quantity a shipper may send in tbe course of a year does not enti tle him to a discrimination against a shipper who made less in a year. Under this decision of tbe court, rail road companies have no right to make any discrimination in freight rates which are pot justified by the aptual expense jn the cost- of carrying.

'i'lie Re-union. On the eveniug of the 28th the sol diers re-union was formally opened at Grand Island, in the presence of about 5,000 people, aud the comtnaud was turned over to Gen. J. M. Thayer, post commander. Generals Frederick and Thayer and Colonels Palmer and Jones superintend tho camp, aud have the routine of discipline reduced to a science. The old veterans were met the first afternoon by a slight rain, which ren dered their grounds during the time of re-union pleasant and free from dust. Thursday five hundred teuts were reported on the ground, and the number of people estimated at from 20,000 to 25,000. The forenoon was spent in holding a state re-union and the enrolment of members.

Saunders, of Polk couuty, reports a good time and a bappy re-union. The War. The account given on the other side of Saturday's battle with the Egypt ians says Gen. Wolseley made a rec onnoiseance of the enemy's position and shortly after noon attacked with infantry. The advance of the British was a brilliant one, hut they were met with a rapid and distinctive fire at short range. When within a couple of hundred yards of Arahi's first line of entrenchment the infantry faltered, hesitated, and, despite the utmost eflorts of their officers, fell back with heavy loss. The British troops fell back over four miles. Arahi's fire was very effective. His artillery was especially well handled aud range of the British' lines was obtained aud held during the advance aud retreat. His infantry behaved well and main tained a Arm front. Arabi was on the ground and personally directed the movements of bis troops. Arabi con tented himself with repulsing the British advance and did not follow up his advantage by pursuit. After the British advance was checked, but be fore retreat set in the scene was a thrilling one. The first division, realizing the hopelessuess of carrying Arahi's position, at the command of their officers, threw themselves in the sand or crouched against the sides of the banks of the caual. Shells were faliiug on eyery side, and Arahi's in fantry likewise opened fire. The storm of hail was terrible and the men were almost panic-stricken. The or der to fall back was given, and with a few irregular volleys the men obeyed. Arahi's losses, while unknown, are not thought to be serious. His forces were entrenched and the English guns did no considerable damage. In the hand to hand fight at Kas sassin the majority of the English fell on their faces to avoid being slashed by the life guards swords. Many thus escaped who would otherwise have been struck down. Corpses of Egyptians were spread over a mile and a half of ground. An officer who was present says the cav alry was ordered for the purpose of saving the position. A correspon dent says tbe sucz scene was horrible beyond description. Bodies of the Egyptian soldiers were hacked and slashed almost out of resemblance to humanity by tbe long swords of the guards. One officer still held au un lighted cigarette in his fingers. The Kewaaee Robbery. Chicago, Aug. 29. A Kewanee, Illinois, special says: The greatest excitement exists over the arrest of Pratt, cashier of the First Rational bank, on tbe cbaige of conspiracy in the recent robbery, in which the thieves got away with $20,000. The arrest has just been made, and the detectives claim they have plenty ot evidence to sustain the charge. Pratt was not suspected at first, but the more the detectives hunted for evi dence, the more they became con vinced that Welsh and his accomplice Jiad inside help, and that the valise being left a( the bank and subaecment- ly called for, the locking up of the cashier and assistant, Miss Harris, in the vault, were all pre-arranged. The detectives feel confident of being ul timately able to recover all the money stolen. A valise containing $3,000 of the stolen money was found in a corn field ueur this city. Welsh's arrest. E. Welsh, arrested in New Yort for robbing the First National hank of Kewanee, Illinois, passed through this city this evening in charge of a detective. Reporters were not al lowed to see him. but Pinkerton's detective agency, which has charge ot the ea'c, "ays he made a coufession the effect of which is that Dr. J. S. Scott, of St. Louis, formerly a res ident of Kewauee, planned the rob bery, though he took no direct part in it ; that Pratt, acting cashier, was a party to if, and instead of the lane sum in gold missing being carried away in the valise with the other money, it was Pratt who carried it off previous to the day when he (Welsh) and his companion locked Pratt and Miss Harris in the vault and carried away the remainder. ?nr.stlv in paper money. Welsh refund t.i ive the name of his companion, w! o helped iu the job, hut the agenrv i? eonlident it will iiet aight ot the newt. WcNh says Dr. Scoti introdneed hint to Pr-itt.

Welsh '.ad no money iu the vault. Scott i said to he chief! known in Kewauee as a poker player. The agency here has received advices of the arrest of Scott iu St. Louis. St. Louis, Aug. 2!). Dr. J. B. Scott, was arrested here late last night by one of Pinkerton's detectives, on the charge of being implicated in the Kewauee (HI.) bank robbery, and left for Chicago to-inght in charge of an officer. The affair was kept very quiet. Scott formerly lived in Ke wauee, but claims to have been a res ident of St. Louis tor the past six months. He was in Kewauee at the time of the jobbery, but says he had nothing to do with it and knows noth ing about it. It is understood he was arrested on information derived from Welsh, who was captured in the ea;t two or three davs ago. and there seems to he no doubt that he was directly implicated in tho robbery.
