The n.xt question was, who had pot it? Nobody knew Mac-Donald turned around and called for the parly's name, but lie had vanished. After some minutes' time it became apparent that the mail in the hall was a fiimil. MacDonaKl got mad and said ho would kick him rtown the t-teps if he knew who it was. Just then Arnold came back, and, having been informed of the trick, said he would still cive $2,500, and at that figure it was struck off to him. He and Mr.

MacDonnld went across the street, and the necessary paymeut was made. It was thought the dummy bidder was in the interest of Mr. Welch, but this was not true. There was a great desire to know what the pmchaso by Arnold meant, he general belief being that he had acted for Boscnblatt and Chauneey I. Filley.

Mr. Arnold refused to say anything aoont it, but later inlorrncd a Post reporter that the purchase was made in behalf of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer. S3iC, 75 at fct'i'e. 3t at SS'j'e; Jan.

224. But it is bv the liflh section to be construed to bo a continuation of tne act of 1864. That is true if any rights had attached before the power of chRiigc or amendment was given to the Legislature. But if no risdits accrued to any one before the adoption of the Constitution, then there was and is no need of construction. If defendant organized under the law alter the Constitution was adopted.it did so with full kuowlede of the legislative power to alter and amend.

Even a special charter is subject to such legislative control until the company has organized under it, as long as no lights become vested, i. e. before the company is declared to be subject to the same legislative control ns other statutes. lB. Moore, 144; Paige, 45; 10 How (U.

8.) 395. The position of defendant seems to bo fully answered by the following from the text of 1 Redfleld on railroads, p. here the constitution of a State is so altered as to prohibit the grant of special acts of incorporation, it was hsld that such an act granted before the new Constitution took elleet. and which had not been accepted by the corporators, could not be accepted thereafter, as the grant of a charter to those who had not applied for it until it was accepted remained a mere affix, and might be withdrawn at the pleasure of the grantor," citing 22 Ind. 272.

This is a complete answer even if the provisions of the law of '61 constituted a general or special law of incorporation. But quwre, do they amount to anything more than police regulations obligations imposed in inretum, and therefore removable by the legislation without consent ot the corporations. II. The next point made by defendant is that the law confers on thd Commissioners legislative power in allowing them to classify articles of freight. It is true that legislative powercan-not be delegated, and it has been held that where judgment and discretion are to be exercised, it is legislative action.

But commissioners and ministerial officers must be allowed to exercise their ordinary scnSeorthev would not be able to carry out and enforce the laws. and I fail to see where is the legislative judgment or discretion to bo exercised In classifying iron ore in ear loads in a class pro-, vided bv the statute us comprising coal, brick.
