We hRvc been waited upon by the renrcsen-
tatfvcs Of tue Michigan Central aud Michigan
Southern Railroads in this city, with reference
to orr recent comments on tue unjust dis
elimination, as It appeared to us, against this
section OF thc country in the matter OF rail-
road flcishts to New York. These gentlemen
exhibited 10 us dis1nte,. which they lad
sent some time since to their connecting roads
at the East, protesting against the late ad-
vance in ftcights. We had previously pub.
,ishcd this fact, but the subsequent action Of
the reads, had led us TO doubt its truth, and
to pronounce it 9 fiction. We have now seen
the dispatch, and we take pleasure III stating
that these gentlemen did object, as strcnu-
ously as ourselves, to the advance in rates.
It is no little satisfaction TO us, and 1t Will be
no little satisfaction 10 the business COM
munity, to know That these gentlemen were
so sagnclo1as apd rcsaTdiul OF the joint inter
ests Of the shippers antS'ne railroads, as to
unite 1r opposing, W1thFthelr personal inno-
