Tliis book is certainly one of the most owerfuI works ever issued from the American Press. Its satire and sar casm are terrible. It bring9 forth into the light of day, with fearful vividness, the corrupt practices adopted to intluence Congressional legislation, and shows how manly honor and womifnly virtue arc sacri ficed to rob the masses of the Ameri can people for the benellt of a few shoddy millionaires. In short, it is a picture written in xpular style liiat every one who read can under stand of the deep degradation into which our institutions have fallen, and of the utter hopelessness of all IIortM Ht lefnrni until the great over shadowing Money Power is broken and ground to powder. As a great political work, the loi;k will take its place along with Un cle Tom's Cabin" and "Helper's Impending Crisis;" while as a piece of literary art, it nurpasses them both. J. O. Hester.

After the oration was concluded, a national salute was fired by a battery of artillery from the Federal camp, during which time the friends of the dead strewed flowers n the many graves in the Cemetery.

MORNING, JUNE 1. 1875. From Charlotte Observer of Sondav. THE RAILROAD CASE. Its Hearing at Chambers Yesterday. The Defendants Discharged Irvm Custody vuopes of 'Argument and the Order in Ihe Case. We mentioned yesterday that His Honor, Judge Schenck.had issued a writ of habeas corpus to have before him at Chambers, yesterday after noon, A. S. Buford, President of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, and W. H. Green, Master of Trans portation of the same, for violation of a statute in altering the gauge of the North. Carolina Railroad. The case was heard at 5 o'clock, P. M., Messrs. F. N. Strudwick, J. H. Wll- son and W.' J. Montgomery, appear ing for the State, and Judge Mar shall, of Richmond. Va., and Capt. S. A. Ashe, of Raleigh, for the peti tioners. The crowd present in the Court House was not large, but' lep resented nearly all the business in terests of the city. The railroad men of the place were all out. aud great interest was manifested by all. The east. was opened by Mr. Strud wick, Solicitor of the 5th District, readiug the return of the officer Scott, stating that he held the petitioners, A. S. Buford aud W. H. Green, under a warraut for changing the gauge of the North Carolina Railroad irom Greensburo to Goldsboro. Mr. Ashe moved ihe discharge of the prisoners, because the act under which the arrest was made, was void, lie c!aimd that the Act was in vio lation of the Constitution of North Carolina, Art. 1, section 17, which provides that no person shall be de prived of his property except by the law of the land, and secondly, that it violated that provision of the Const, of the United States, prohibiting any State from passingany law violating the obligation of contiacts. Under the first branch, he insisted that as the Act was in its terms plainly repugnant to Art. 1, sec. 17, Constitution of North Carolina, un less it could be supported on some of the acknowledged principles creating exceptions to that section. He said the principle of Eminent Domain could not apply, because ihere. was no just compensation offer ed or provided for in the act. That if it could be supported at all it must be under the principle that the State con id make general police regula tions a-Inch may effect rights aud properly. 11c discussed this matter at some length, quoting authorities to show the limits which the courts had ever j Inced to the exercise of this power. That the regulations must be to pro vide for the comfort of the citizens or the protection or safety of property or person1. Under tnis head, fell the right to regulate commerce, to regulate the speed of railroad eat 8, to blow up houses in times of fires, &c. But it had never been exteuded to interfer ing with the gauges of railroads. He challenged the production of any au thority to the contrary. It must be, indeed a police regula tion, and not an attempt to deprive a eorpn-ation of a substantial right. If .the Legislature should attempt to do tiii-, under cover of a police regula tion, its act was void. He then dis cussed the oilier question involving the impairment of the. contract, con tained in the charter. He was fallowed by Solicitor Slrud wick, who ?poke of the State system of Internal Improvement adopted long ago by our forefather!:, and claimed' that the act was within the power of the l egislature a very proper and desirable act. That It was tor the purpose of regulating com merce. HeYead s mie extracts, in print, from a very able paper heretofore pre pared bv that eminent lawyer, B. F. Moore, "of Raleigh, wherein Mr. Moore fully discussed the whole mat ter. Ho further claimed that His Honor ciiuld not discharge the prisoners who were held under ihe warraut of the magistrate. Mr. S. made a strong speech but we were not able to follow him as ex actly ns we could have wished. J. II. Wilson, Esq. then made a long aud able argument touching our railroad system, and claiming that this act of assembly was the proper exercise of a power to regulate com merce within this State. This power had been held to ex it in the State Legislature, by the Supreme Court of the United States in the care ot .Msey vs. .uoore. It was the power to regulate com merce. It was a sovereign power, ah States held aud exercised it. ile minted Slate rs Matthews, one of our State decisions in support of this position and made an elaborate ami able argument .showing that the urine nles involved were me same as in the case on tria'. The charter of the Bank of ay oHoviile of which Mathews was cashier, was silent as to the issues of the Bank. An act was passeu Dy uie Legislature subsequent to. the grant ing of the charter of the Bank, ma king it a crirunul offence for any Bauk to issue notes under a certain denomination. The Bank of Fay etteville coutinued to issue notes un der the prescribed denomination in defiance of the law. The cashier was indicted and the Supreme Court de cided the law unconstitutional, al though it was argued by his counsel that the charter was a coutract be tween the State and the Bank and the Legislative enactment was in violation of the same: but the Su premo Court held that the silence of the charter on the subject lertu witu in the now ei of the Legislature to control the issues of the Bank under sovereign power to regulate the com ftb State. He arsrued that the principles involved in this case were the same. That the charter of tho f Railroad was silent as to the gauge, but the 4 feet 8J inches had been adopted by this aud other rail roads, and the State had the inalieli- Me riohf. to nrevent a change of the same, or to cause a change of gauge tn o mailo Judge Marshall in reply niadea powerful argum'ent. ' The points taKen by this gentleman were : 1 That, the charter of the N. C R. R. C. was a contract between the State of N. Carolina aud the corpora 2. That this contract had been the subject of judicial construction by Ilia Simrcmfl Court of the State. 3. That according to this construc tion the N.C. R. R. Co.bad the ,-i.riit nnrior tliia charter to adontahv gauge that to it seemed fit and to change It as the interest of the Com r. ' r " " : . - r. V , - - ... pany might in its view require. 4 That this contrac thus continu ed could nor. be impaired by any sub sequent legislation without violating the constitution of the United States which declares that no State shall impair the obligations of contracts. (o. That the law under which the prosecution against Buford and Green was commenced, undertook to deprive th ) N. C. R. R. Co. of its rights unquestionable rights un der its charter and contract, and was consequently unconstitutional and void. ti. That the R. &. D. R. R. Co. had by the Deed of Lease oftheN. C. R. R. Co. all the rights of its Lessor and that the Supreme Court had so declared. He also read the act of assembly of the loth March, and undertook to show that it was so drawn as not to carry outthe intention of its fram ers and that even if the act was not liable to the objection astoits impair ing the obligation of a contract, the prisoners were not embraced within ts provisions, if they did alter the gauge of the N. C Road. He also commented upon the position taken by the counsel for the State, that it was the policy of the State of North Carolina, that all railroads shall bo of the gauge of 4 feet 8 inches, and undertook to show that the State had adopted no such policy, and he gave the names of as many railoaustn the State of other gauges as could be found of those of 4 8i. When the arguments had been concluded. His Honor adiourued Court and took the papers in the case. In an nour afterwards, he rendered the following decision : State of N. C, 9th Judicial Dis't.
