The Cincinnati Commercial announces now thai
hostiIiies have ceased, and the rates have become
settled while the schedule is generally maintained The
President of the Pittsburgh, Columbus and Cincinnati
Road has instructed the Agent at the latter point to go
out of the upriver market for eghts and he has done
il. This settles one of the most exciting questions in
the recent dispute. The -four contracted for at Law
renceburg, by the Agent OF the Ohio and Mississippi
and shipped VIA Steubenville, stopped at Colum-
bus with the exception of car which escaped de-
lection by the mar ayers Of the Central Ohio That
norton of the shipment which had not arrived would
LAO be stopped in transitu The President Of the Pitts
burgb, Fort Wayne and Chicago Road complains that
the shipments from Cincinnati for which he has been
charged commissions and which fare designed Tor MS
road via CrestDe have never reached that point and
proposes 10 investigate the matter to ascertain TO what
rouie they have been delivered Another point in issue
among freight men the charge that SIX slngle-deck
carloads OF hogs have recently been taken from Day
ton 10 Pittsburgh at the price as three double
decks when under the agreement IN regard 70 STOCK,
the six single decks should have been rated as four
double decks This Last controversy Is being invest-
GATED by parties interested in learning the facts. The
Pennsylvania Railroad adheres to the schedule and no.
titles It's agents that freight forwarded for
over that line will if taken at less than the publshed
terms, be charged for at local rates.
The Montreal Gazette has the following in refer
ence TO the affairs of the Grand Trunk Railway:
cit ia pretty generally known that for some time
mast Mr. Henry Cleaver Chapman, large shareholder
in the Grand Trunk Railway Company, and the repre-
sentative Of the Liverpool shareholders generally has
been in Canada engaged in an investigation of the line,
it, management and the prospects OF the enterprise
From his report the Liverpool shareholders founded
on this iuyestgaton, are allowed 10 publish some
extracts AT Last the shareholders will obtain some
knowledge of the management OF the Grand Irunk
Railway; and if the proposed Committee OF inquiry
ia formed will be convinced that the disastrous condi-
ton of the enterprise not much the result OF de-
usye promises and hopes held out at its initiation,
of corruption extravaganza fraud, pecuation. and
gross Encouragement. Unless had waited L inada,
ssys Mr.. Chapman and ascerained the truth OF some
of the current reports throughout Canada, could not
have brought myself 10 believe that such system OF
peculston extravaganza, and mendacily, could have
80 long been permitted 10 exist the wonder, aiio, 10
me ia how the people of Canada remained 40 qules-
cent. The explanation that ] receive is, the GRAND
Trunk has been used for political purposes and that
the Provincial Grand Truck md money has been spent
IN bribery and corruption. Be this as it may, i am
quite Satisfied that the Grand Trunk has not begun 70
De mapaged as a commercal-caTTylng company and 1t
is the general opinion in Canada that as the executive
Is al present continued it never will be work either
honestly OF purely as a commercial company
