I. Co, Investigation. In tbe Investlgstion of the South Improve' meot Company, tbe Seoretary, W. G. .War den, testified that tbe company was organ Ized about January 2, 1872, with obarter similar to that of tba Pennsylvania Com pany, and at the expectation was to get alj n-finerles to join. Two thousand shares of slock at one hundred dollars each were taken, and twenty per cent, paid In. The 'ormer rates'to New York by rail were $1,25; under tbe Improvement Company they were $2.66 on crude oil, of wblcb tbe Improve ment Company aod all shippers actiog with It rebate of $1,06. Tbe calculations made by tbe oil men who beard tbe witness were, thai the rebates at these rates would amount to six million a year, and tba .Increase to the railroads about a million and a half. Tbe refiners would not alt join, and on ac count of tbe exoitsment in tbe oil regions the contracts were not enforced, aod now are annulled. John Alexander, or Alex ander Schofield & Co., of Cleveland, testi fied that tbey sold their refinery for about fortyifive per cent of its value lo tbe Stand ard Oil Company, wbieh was to go luto tbe S. I. Co. They were forced le sell, as they could not afford to run against tbe cotnbN nation. W. H. Doao, asblper of oil at Cleveland, testified that be did not get drawbacks from tbe railroad, and bis occu pation was gone, because he could not stand agalust the discrimination in freights agains bim. P. H. Watson-, President of tbe S.I Co., has been summoned, and was expected to testify belors tbe Committee yesterday , He will be .required to produce tbe contracts between the S. I.

Com. .auv. Tub Ftevknson Faiiilt Again ox the War Patii. Tbe war between tba Steven son families, ol Cberrytree, bas assumed a new phase. It bears a striking resemblance to tbe quarrels lo the old feudal time, when Cain warred with bis brother Abel and eventually slew him. Family quarrels nev er ought lo exist, and we would advise these families to become reconciled and live In harmony as becomes citizens of a civiliz ed community like Cbnrrytree. As tbe thing is going now they are only wasting tbeir substance, and making themselves appear ridiculous and a laughing stock lo tbe public.

The Legislature bas rei ael ed the charter ot tbe monopoly. And Con gress Is now investigating the matter, which, it is expected, will reaut in tbe Na tional government pulling an end to all discrimination in .freights by railroads aod other common carriers. Here is what an uprising of tbe people can accomplish in a few weeks. So far as it looks as If tbe oil men bave smooth-sailing, but such is not tbe fact. It is Dot safe to presume that tbe repea of tbe monopoly's charter will put e j quittus to it. It is impossible for tbe Legis ture to annual a charter after the corpora tion naa purchased property and commenced operations, as we believe tbe 3. I. Co., bas done. As even il Ibat ceuld be done I hern are a dcz?o other charters, equally as sweeping in tbeir power), yet in existence and at tbe command of tbese same scoun drels who bave sought to control tbe oil trade. Unless Congress completely bars a' sucb attempts as we bare been fighting we are still at Ibe mercy of tbe muie combiuu tion.
