The Western Union telegraph com pany, having Issued many millions of ateck te represent what It claimed te be accrued profits, the courts of New Yerk were nsked te declare, liy an nggrieved stockholder, that the issue we a unlaw, ful. Thcjudge te whom the applinitle:) was made refused the Injunction, finding that the company had the property te represent the Increased capital ; a con clusion, which, In fact 13 believed te be untrue. The first appellate- court re versed this decision ; but new the final state court of appeals has reaffirmed it, declaring; that it In s te tuke the facts as found by thu trlaf judge, 'and that the conclusion must be that the issue was lawful, since there Is no legal limit in Hew Yerk te the Increase of their capi tal by corporations, provided there is actual property te rcpreseut thu amount of the increase. The public feeling upon tills decision is well represented in. the action taken regarding it by the New Yerk chamber of commerce, which has just directed a committee te consider what legislation is needed te check the growing evil of stock watering, since it is thus judicially notified that " there is no existing law te prevent flagrant stock watering oper ations, such as these perpetrated by the telcgrapti -companies." It will thus be S2eu that the chamber of commerce denies the premise upon which the su preme court's decision rested. It de clares that the Western Union's increase et capital stock was net represented b astual property, but that it was n flag rant case of stock watering. As this opinion U that of the community it may be assumed without hesitation that the ceurc of appeals, In accepting the decis ion of the trial judge te the contrary, accepted a false conclusion ; and one that the court could hardly have failed te knew was false , since it was a matter of such common notoriety. The laws of New Yerk which are thus construed by its court of appeals as affording no appeal from a trial judge's conclusions of fact seem te be very lame indeed. The finding by a jury of facts is conclusive and only te be avoided by a new trial ; but it seems that a judge in New Yerk has even greater power tliau a jury, a his decision is irreverslble.liewever much ngainst the weight of the evidence. The chamber of commerce committee will need te frame a law te take away this great power from a single judge. It will a'se need te suggest a law limiting the pjssible capital of corporations. We have such laws in Pennsylvania. The capital is limited always in the charter and we can hardly believe that it can ba otherwise in New Yerk. The public safety requires that corporations shall net be permitted te grew beyond the b Jiind i absolutely necessary. They should be strictly limited in the objects of their creation and te the capital really needed for their business. The general railroad law of Pennsylvania, for instance, lim itwl the capital stock of railroads in sixty thousand dollars. and a bended debt of equal amount ; and these Il.rure3 seemed te be s utile lent for the needs of any At the late session of the Le, railroad isl.ilure, however, these interested in Mr.Vaiuler bilt's projected read through southern Pennsjkauin, appeared with a demand for the enlargement of this limit, claim leg that it was wholly insufficient for this magnificent enterpriz-j which pre posed te level mountains and te create a straight aud levd railre.il from tin. Susquehauna te the MonengaliuU. The whole of thu demand made was net recognized, but a large increase was an therlzed in the possible amount of bends and stock that could be lawfully issued by railroads Subsequent developments in the hlstory.ef this read seems te show that the Legislature- and thu governor were imposed upon by fulsu pretences as te the capital needed te construct it : since the American construction com pany Is underste3.1 te have been organ IzeJ te build it, and the stock is te ba given as a bonus te the subscribers te the bends. Ne 0110 will deny that railroads should be authorized te raise the capital really needed for the honest and econ omical construction of ttieir works ; but no one of discrimination will deny that it is a wreK malmi the public te allow railroad projectors te capitalize these read3 at a figure above their actual cost for no ether purpose but te put money into their pockets and with the in evltable consequence- that the railroad customers will be charged unduly high rates te secure dividends upon the watered capital. Pennsylvania limits this possible fraud and In this Is better than New Yerk, where it appears te lie illimitable. The New Yerk chamber of commerce lias the clearest occasion te demand an amendment of its state laws, that the business community may lw protected from the avaricious labors of these who seek te enrich themselves in corporation projects, net by working but by watering the corporations tliuy man ipulate rather than direct. Tub Democratic bonaters have placed en record u vigorous pretest against the action of the Republican majority In adjourning the sessions of the body im mediately after it is convened, twice In the week, without doing any business or permitting discussion or any ether net which it is the function of the Leglsla ture te perform. The paper, being prepared by Senater Wiilluce, places in Its plainest light this Republican rovelu. tlenary scheme Ne reply was made te it from that aide. None could be made. It is tee clearly a violation of tlielr duty upon the part of the Republican sena tors te refuse te sit te enable it te be justified, under any view of the question. The Legislature, when convened, has the duty Incumbent upon It te remain in session constantly until lta final adjourn raent, with only audi recesses ns may reasonably be ordered. Ne one will maintain that it is reasonable te meet twlce In the week only and for the mere purpese of Immediately adjourning. The Republican majority Btauds arraigned before the bar of public opinion ; we will Bee nl the clectioiiliew it slnnds the trial. Something Dene. The Standard oil company Inquiry has at last produced something. Air. (Jewen being placed en the stand showed from the sworn testimony et Patters m that he had negotiated with the .vaudard company for the purpose of being silenced by their money, after he had contracted with the state for $20,0i)0 te furnish testimony ag Unst the company. Mr. (tewen offered te prove further facts by ether witnesses. Patterson's counsel, asking him, in apparent surprise, whether he had nude his charges te the Lgiilaturu en thobislsef Patter son's statement, Mr. Uewen aptly re plied. Certainly that was the bst sort of evidence." Then Patterson took the stand, after hM counsel hid vainly protested that lie should net b called until all the testimony against him hail been heard. He admitted thai he had received J."nW from the Stand ard company, and could only siy that it was given te him te ciui3d him te cease his hostility te the company. He was reluctant te say In se many words that he received it te suppress the testimony he held against the company. He de clared in fact that he had told Attorney General Palmer all he knew and that he did n t contract with the Standard te bj silent until after the attorney gener al had written te him that he had told him nothing worth payiug him ter. Under Mr. CJewen's examination lie confessed reluctantly te having received $5 000 from the Standard iti add'-m te the $13,000 he had before a l mittcd receiving, making $J" "i In all . and when filially Mr. (e.-.i asked him te state the sum total of the money he had received from the Stand nrd or Its affiliated companies, he asked time te consult his counsel bsfere answering; and the committee ad journed te give him the opportunity. Evidently tins iaqulry is net te be the vain thing expected of it. The evidenc new taken proves the offense charged. Pit your poll tux this evening, if you have net already paid it.

The terrible accident at a grade crossing in Philadelphia yesterday inerniug by which four persons were killed ami ten injured in a s'reut car will call attention anew te thu criminally in.11le4u.1te prevl muis whieh corporations make for the safety of human life.

Tue attorney general expressed house f as exceedingly gratified at the information " All I had te de," c ontimied the witness, " was te prove that the company did business iu this state, aud there my duties ended. I never received a loiter or bdegram from Mr. Palmer calling upon me te higu the cm'.iact 1 had made with him.
