RAnxoAD PoLrrIcs.-In Pennsylvania, N
jersey and other States, powerful Railroad
Companies have great influence in State pol
itics, and generally manage to control the
legislation OF those States. In our own State,
at the present time, there is such diversity
of interests amongst the Railroad Compa-
MES that nothing can be done in that direc-
ton. Combine the interests OF the Compa-
pies, however, by a State Aid Fund of ten
millions or so, and our Railroad Companies
will be our Rulers.
The N. Y. Post gives the following &C.
count of the operations Of Mr.. Cameron OF
Pennsylvania in his efforts to overcome the
personal hostility of the Northern Central
Railway Company:
Simon Cameron has made "double- strike"
lately. The strongest power with which he
has had to contend for several years has been
concentrated in the Northern Central Rail-
road Company of Pennsylvania. The prin-
cipal fugleman OF that company is under
stood to be Robert Magraw, who has been
for years the ssright bower'' and financial
agent of Mr.. Buchanan. At the late organi-
cation Of the Pennsylvania legislature the
whole power Of the Corporation was brought
to bear in favor of Mr.. Alexander Mcclure
for Speaker OF the House. Mr.. Cameron and
his friends brought forward William Law
renee, and, after well-fought contest, the
Cameron party triumphed against Corpora
ton interference. So much for the legisla-
tive conflict and success. On Wednesday
last Mr.. Cameron met the Corporation, face
to face, on their own peculiar ground. The
meeting of the stockholders of the above
named Company was held at Baltimore on
that day. For the past year Mr.. Cameron
has been buying up the stock Of the Compa-
ny. He has been so successful that, when
he came into the meeting on Wednesday, he
found himself sufficiently strong to be able
to Gust all his enemies in the Board OF Direc-
tors, and to put his friends in their places.
He allowed only two Of the old Board to re-
main, and they we're his personal friends
Mr.. Magraw, before mentioned, although his
legal position in the Corporation has only
been that of director, in reality has man.
aged the President and Corporation pretty
much as he pleased. The two edged sword
of Cameron has destroyed his power, both
legislative and financial. Mr.. Cameron has
shown great skill in bis operations agairRt
this Corporation. A large number Of the
members belong TO Maryland. The road re.
ferred to runs from Baltimore, Nd, to Har-
risburg, Pa.

The IssuEs OF l860.--The issues in the
Presidential canvass Of 1860 are thus very
plainly foreshadowed by the Washington COR
respondent OF the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser:
1t is evident from the remarks Of Southern
members, in the late debate on the slave
trade suppressios, that there is growing
opposition among them and their constituents
to the present piracy law, and that they in
tend to make the repeal Of that law the great
issue at the coming Presidential election,
and in all elections, OF members Of Con-
gress.
The African slave trade and the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba will become, though they are
not now, the absorbing issues in the South.
The large body Of conservative Southern men
have now an influence, but it is on the de-
cline, and they must be overwhelmed BY the
clamor of the demagogues."

INV YoRK, Feb. 6.


INV YoaK, Feb. 6.
A correspondent Of the Post, writing from
on board the U. s. ship Merrimac at Raelejo,
tells SEINE disgraceful stories Of the conduct
OF Gen. Lamar, the American Minister to
Nicaragua. His manner Of life was not only
ill-judged for the successful accomplishment
of the important object Of his mission, but
gross and indecent. The Commander in
Chief Of the squadron was sent here to com-
municate with him freely. During the week
he stayed here he was on board the ship but
a small portion of the time; during the
whole day he was seen in bis shirt sleeves
wandering about among the rabble, and COM
municating freely with the na6~es. After
sleeping on board the ship one night, he left
the next morning in such state that he re-
quired assistance to get into the boat. On
shore he was sometimes seen in the huts of
the natives, sitting down and drinking with
them the vile rum Of the country. On one
occasion he presented quito picturesque
appearance, sitting on the shady side Of one
of the buildings with box for seat, be-
fore plank resting on two barrels for Ia
BILE, with an inkstand at one end, q rum bot
tie at the other, and the archives Of the lega-
ton in the middle.

eTMr. Broderick, while speaking on the
Pacific Railroad bill, the other day, made .
point against the southern strict construc-
tionists. These very conscientious gentle
men oppose an appropriation to build rail
road to California, ssbecause the Constitu-
tion grants to Congress no pousr TO make
such appropriations! "Yet," says Sena-
tor Broderick, ssthese strict constrrctionists
to man vote thirty million corruption

the pretence of buying Cuba!"

gress will 90 30 far with the matter, 10 not

they will give the Democracy fresh impulse,

strong bond. The Democracy will rally for

that he can buy it, but the man who will

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1876!

ARLINGTON, feD. 3, 1907.
The Navy Department is in receipt Of Of
fcial news from Commodore Tolten of the
sloop- of-war Vincennes, giving details Of an
alleged British outrage upon an American
vessel on the coast of Africa. The substance
is that the American brig Rufus Soule, from
Matanzas, while on the coast, was boarded
on the eth October by the British Steamer
Viper, searched and burned.
The correspondence between Com. lotion
and the Captain of the Viper showed that at
the time Of the alleged outrage the Rufus
Soule had the American flag flying, but that
the Captain threw his papers overboal when
called on to show them.
The Captain of the Rufus Soule has been
before reported.
The Senate Post Office Committee has
agreed to authorize the contract for CARRYING
the California mail over the Panama and Te.
hauntepec route; also to let the ocean ser
vice on all the ocean routes to the lowest re-
sponsible bidders. The Committee has also
decided adversely on the mammoth Trans
Atlantic steamer project.
The Military Committee of the House to-
day received . communication from the SEQ
rotary of War, in response to an inquiry,
whether it is not practicable to reduce the
expenses OF transportation TO distant points.
MIR. Floyd says reduction would be practi-
cable were it not for the demands and threats
of members of Congress.
| Postage on Newspaper Exchanges
not to be Required.
The Enquirer, which should understand

that Misrepresentation exists among the
press as to the bill introduced in Congress BY
Mr.. w. H. English, from the Post Office Com
mittee, tot regulate the payment Of postag,
on newspapers and periodicals. The Enqui
rer says:
The impression is, that this bill, if passed
would require the press to pay postage OF
their exchanges. That is not 80. 1t is no
proposed to change the present law on tina
subject. That part of the bill out Of which
the Misrepresentation arose, simply provide
that persons known as regular dealers il
newspapers and periodicals, such as Peas
and Hutchinson, may receive, by mail, sucl
quantities Of either as they may require, b,
paying the postage thereon az they may b
received, at the same rates as regular sub
scribers to such publications.
