Wehave received from Geo. b. Wright, Com
missioner of Railroads and Telegraphs for
Ohio, his annual report, containing great va
| riety of useful information and valuable sug-
gestions on the subject of railways and tele-
graphs. 1t appears that the freight on local
traffic amounts to 1-a cents per ton per
mile, while on through traffic it is only cent
per ton per mile. Some complaint having
been made on account OF this, the Commits
sioner discusses the subject, and shows that
while the charges on local freight are not un-
reasonable or excessive, the low charges on
through freight are indispensable to prevent
the traffic from taking other channels. leay-
ing the railroads without business enough for
their support.
He condemns the 'iree pass" system as
both wasteful and demoralizing. A few COM
panies have kept an account of portion of
their free mileage sufficient to satisfy them
that, had one - .he passengers who travel
ed free, paid t..-sessz,ss-1r :, 1T would have
yielded sufficient to have paid the entire taxes
OF the companies for the year. In view of the
A"Sp tiIC SdpiltL olOCk vi tuS IdllrOduS III lnaJ
State, amounting to S106,GS6,OOo pays less
percentage to the stockholders than is realiz.
ed in any other class Of business in the State.
he thinks the system should be abolished or
very much modified. The Commissioner
condemns the watering" of railroad stocks,
the effect of which in Ohio is that not ten
companies in the State can pay fair legiti-
mate annual dividend upon their capital out
of their net earnings after meeting the inter-
est on their funded debt
Consolidation has been at work in
Ohio as well as in other States. OF
these combinations the Commissioner
says, "When they are fully perfected, we
can better judge of their influence upon the
public. So far their tendency has been TO en-
large and facilitate business, develop the re-
sources OF the State, and encourage the build
ing of new roads," This testimony is pecu-
liarly interesting to us just now.
There are 1895 miles of railroad in the
State. The number of passengers carried
was in 1859, 10,361 ,O7S, an increase Of nearly
million over 1868. Of these only four were
killed, or one in about 2,5OO,OOO carried, and
these are reported to have lost their lives
through their own misconduct or want of
caution. None were killed and only two in
jured from causes beyond their CONTROL The
number of farm animals killed was 2,149, for
which damages were paid amounting to $42,-
626. The local freight carried amounted to
7,99O,10 tons, and the through freight $780,
500 tons, making total of 1855, ,7O4 tons, an
increase over 1868 of nearly 100000 tons.
There are 5,519 miles of telegraph line in
Ohio, costing $2,029,O00.

THE battle of Bull Run was fought nj,

The battle of Bull Run was fought nine
years ago. In this connection it is nstruc-
tive to note that of all the prominent men ON
both sides who participated in that conflict
but two or three now figure in public affairs.
Mcdowell is still a commander in the United
States Army; Sherman, who led a brigade, is
now commander-in-chief, while Burnside, who
was in the van in the early part of the en-
gagement, is now Governor of Rhode Island.
Of the rest, Tyler prosecutes his business
quietly in Connecticut, Hunter is in retire
ment at Washington, Heintzelman, a half-pay
officer, lives at Enslewood, n. Y, and is Pres
ideEt of an insurance company, Runyon re-
sides at Newark, Keyes is now colonel in
the regular army, Schen:k is in Congress,
Franklin superintends Colts rifle works az
Hartford, Howard made himself well known
by his management of the Freedmen's Blu.
reau, Wilcox was killed at the recent casualty
in Richmond, and Patterson is a prosperous
cotton manufacturer in Pennsylvania. OF the
re bel officers, Johnston and Beauregard are
now railroad presidents; jeff Davis, instead
of presiding over the destinies of republios is
at the head of an insurance company; Jones
subquently died in Richmond, Ewell is now
in private life, Longstreet is in the New Or

cotton planter, Early is quiet country gen.

APRoPos of suit that has been instituted
in this city, a correspondent of the Tri6une
relates the particulars of lawsuit in Scot
land. About thirty years ago, the father of
boy apprenticed to barber, brought suit
against the employer to prevent his compell-
ing the boy to shave customers boards on
Sunday. The necessity for people to be
shaved in order to attend the kirk was appar-
ent to the first Court that tried the case, and
the father of the boy appealed from its deci-
sion to the Supreme Court, the celebrated
Lord Jeffrey presiding. Lord Jeffrey decided
that kirk-goers could have their boards shaven
on Saturday nights, and that the boy could
not by law be compelled to work on Sunday.
The barber carried up the case thence to the
Inner House, and the united wisdom thereof
reversed the decision of Lord Jeffrey. The
boy had to 60 on with shaving on Sundays as
at first. Both parties of the suit were quite
stripped of means to continue it, but the iath-
er of the boy appealed in Jorma pauperis to
the House OF Peers. Several years elapsed,
but at length the case was finally adjudicated;
the decision of the Inner House was reversed,
and that of Lord Jeffreys sustained. The 10y
had long since become man and outgrown
his indentures. Nevertheless, a great princi-
pie had been established and the rights of the
razor determined.

DICKENs's HoME.-Gad's Hill, where Dick
ems lived and died, is about three miles from
Rochester. Shakespeare has made it famous
in Henry ". as the scene of one of Prince
HAS and Falstafi7s escapades; and, as the
traveller on tropical day in June, climbs up
the hill, he is in condition to appreciate the
princes humor when he is made to say:

ope-of those cid fashioned places which are
now not often to be met with in this coun-

low-pitched rooms, a swinging sign, with a
ful-length portrait of the brrly brageart,
and large garden, containing an ample lawn
pleasant leafy bowers, and a goodly row OF
big rose bushes. The side OF this garden
touches portion OF the grounds connected
with Mr.. Dickens's residence, although separa-
