A private letter from large operator in
Western produce In New York, to gentleman
in this city, states that a measure will be urged
before the Now York Legislature to reatoro tho
tolls on the Erie Canal to tho figures Of twenty
years ago. The tolls now arc 31S cents on
wheat, and az cents on corn. It is proposed
to add to this burden 3}l cents on wheat, and
8 cents on corn. Under the ratea Of laat year,
the receipts Of the Erie Canal, as
shown by the Comptroller'a report, wero
s2,760, 147; expenses for salaries and repaire,
s1,o87,02l, showing surplus Of SLOTS. 120
But this surplus Of the main line was all con-
aumed by tho political paupers whom the State
has quartered on her lateral canals, and their
total receipts as we'll, and 814,873 raised by
taxation besides. Doubtloss, the patriotic bum
mers on the lateral canals, who consumed the
ontire receipts and profits Of all her canals aud
ss14, ,873 10 taxes, foar their fellow-oitzens will
not be willing to stand such q drain
On their pookets and honoo thia new
raid on tue commerce Of the Wost.
Such an advance in freight chargos would In
duce desperate efforts on tile part OF nll tho
States and people weat Of Lake Michigan to
open the st. Lawrence route for large sea-gong
veBeols producing in the end such reduction
Of freghta 81 would bring down the tolls OF tho
Eric Canal with q ruah. Better by fur for her
to enlarge her ERIC Canal to the largest size pos
aible, make the toll charger only so much as
Fil] keep 1t In order and close all the lateral Ca
pals TINT cannot be made to pay expenses. Then
the Mth4e State may hope to retain the COM

when 1t will turn as black as ink if the
article is spurious Ifuot convenient to

The POSTAL CARs.-There is con
siderable stir at the New York post of.
fee over the unexpected withdrawal
by the railroad companies of postal
cars from service on the first of April.
1t is thought the force of clerks will
be utterly unable to attend to the great
food of mail matter which will in that
event pour in. Nearly four days will
be required for the delivery of mails
which now reach their destination in
fifteen hours. The demand of the
railroad companies is for $500 per mile
instead of 1915, now paid them. 1t is
rumored that if the companies persist
in this determination the Postmaster
General will endeavor to procure the
passage of q Law giving the department
special power over the railroads.

posTAL RAILWAY SERVICE.

For few weeks. trouble has been
brawino between the Postmaster Gen
eral and several railway companies
owning trunk lines, who have threaten
ed to withdraw their postal cars, and
pusb the entire mail service on rail-
ways back into baggage cars and trains
running at very slow pace compared
with the speed of express trains:
The pretense tor the contemplated
action is the failure of the Railroad
companies to obtain from the last Con-
eress an appropriation adequate as
proper compensation for postal car SER
vice. It is claimed by the companies
that for years they have been lily paid
for the facilities they have furnished
for this service, and that they realize
no more for their postal cars of forty or
fifty feet length, with all the con-
vsnisnees, and hauled on trains of the
fastest speed, than they formerly re-
ceived for Transporting the mails in
baggage cars on accommodation and
freight trains.
The companies therefore insist that
neither the Government nor the peo
pie have the right to demand that this
postal car service shall be continued
without just compensation. Congress
acknowledged the justice OF these
claims, and authorized the Postmaster
General to increase the compensation
of the railway companies for postal
ear service to the maximum of fifty per
cent. but no appropriation was then
made to carry this into effect. During
the short session of the last Congress,
however, the sum of $500 900 was ap-
propriated for this purpose, and regu-
lar gradations established as follows:
On routes carrying their whole length
an average weight of mail per day Of
200 pounds, $50 per mile per anaum !;
500 pounds, SIS; 1000 pounds, slG0 !;
1900 pounds, 1925 +; 1000 pounds,
$3.50; 5000 pounds, sl75; 5000
5000 and s25 additional for every ad-
ditional 1000 pounds, the average
weight to be ascertained, in every case,
by the actual weight of the mails for
such a number of successive working
days, after June Both next. as the
Postmaster General might direct.
These increased prices would have
the effect to pay great trunk lines, like
the Pennsylvania Central and the Erie
Railway, much larger aggregated
sums than they had formerly received,
and these extensive lines, under these
scaled rates would absorb nearly all of
the half million appropriated.
Not little excitement was begin
Mug to be manifested over the appar-
ent disposition of the railways to reject
the proder made by Congress and some
alarm was felt lest the action of the
railroads would throv the commercial
aud social correspondence of the coun-
try back TO the time when the present
excellent postal arrangements were I'M
known. Things wore such look that
it was hinted that Congress and the
President might assume absolute
authority over the railway lines of the
country. But, relying on Congress to
grant them a more equitable compen-
sation the railway companies who start
ed out SO defantly have addressed a
note to the Postmaster General that
they will continue to carry the postal
cars as heretofore

FRIGHTFuL EXPLOSION OF GUN.
POWDER IN Iowa DAVENPORT, Iowa
March 2S.-A frightful accident &C.
Cured on yesterday in Muscatine, Iowa.
two miles south of Fulton. 1t appears
that farmer named Morris purchased
a key Of gunpowder for some purpose.
which was supposed to be in damp
condition. During the absence of the
father one of the children got some of
the powder out of the key, and placing
it in saucer dropped a coal into it.
AN explosion following wEioh fred the
powder in the key aud exploded the
whole, and the result was horrible.
The mother, who was near, had both.
hands blown off, and three children.
were terribly burned and n aagled. The
root, doors, and windows of. the dwelling,
were blown away. Medical aid was
sent for to Davenport No further par.
ticulars are YET obtained.
