Chcap Trnnsportation.

PORTLAND, Me-, November 2i.-The
speech of Edward Crane, OF Boston
upon the subject of cheap transporta
ton, was made here tonight, ut the
City Hall. Many of his facts and sug
gestions were novel and excited marked
expressions of approval from the large
audience assembled, company of the
principal merchants aud capitalists o.
Maine. Mr.. Crane clearly proved that
railroads, constructed and operated on
his system, can transfer merchandise
cheaper than canals, and by a proper
system of lake navigation merchandise
can be transported at oue-quarter the
cost of present railroad or canal. He
demonstrated that, however startling
these propositions may be, past eX-
perience, which amounts to practical
demonstration, proves the correctness of
this theory.
Another of Mr.. Cranes ideas contem-
plates the ownership, by the State, of
the principal lines, and to be managed
by eminent citizens who form the cor
pOration bat have no interest in the
capital stock. This proposition was so
strongly presented as toclaim the great
est interest of all present. The rcsolu-
tions adopted were exceedingly cOmpli-
mentary. One of them declared the ne
cessity of the immediate construction
of the Niagara ship canal by the Govern.
ment.

,.,or, OF General Rousseau.

WASHINGTON, November 25.-Colonel
r. b. Keller, of General Rousseau's staff,
arrived last evening with the Generals
report of operations in his command;
also his report upon the recent disturb
ances in Louisiana. These he delivered
to-day to General Grant. The Colonel
also had an interview with the Presl-
dent, Secretary of War, and some OF
the most prominent members of Con-
gress who have arrived, giving details
derived from personal observation i'll
New Orleans, all of which could not
well be included in the Generals report.
Colonel Keller represents that the
hostility of the white people of Louisi-
ana generally to the present State gov
ernmeut is most bitter and intense, and
that with the force under General Rous-
seau's command during the recent trou-
bles it was utterly impossible to pre-
serve the peace at all points. Every
disposition of his troops was made and
every possible measure was taken to
protect the people in their rights, with
out regard TO party. The Republicans
did not generally vote, because they
were advised not to attempt to do SO by
their leaders who believed they could
not vote with safety to their person.
Iu this opinion General Rousseau con-
CURED, but with the means at his COM
mand he was pOwerless to establish a
different order of things. General
Rousseau was in constant conversation
with Governor Yarmouth aud the 9TH
er authorities during the disturbance,
and his course met their warm approx
al, as it does of all classes in New Or
leans. Colonel Keller stateS that up to
the date of General Steedman's assum-
ing charge of the police that force was
utterly worthless. 1t was composed of
243 negroes and $50 whites. No riots
have occurred, and no city is more or
derby and quiet than New Orleans since
that change.
General Rousseau courts the most
searching investigation OF his manage
ment of Louisiana affairs during the re-
cent troubles.
Col. Keeler says there is no good
foundation for the reports OF Organiza-
tions i'll New Orleans to help the CUBAN
insurQeantS.
