THERE Is VERY GREAT DANGER that after
all nothing will he done toward the solution
of the transportation problem next winter.
There Is so much rivalry between the differ
ent sections, so much animosity between
those interested in the success Of the different
projects, that there will undoubtedly DO an
unrelenting opposition in Congress to what
ever one route may be chosen. Here, for in
stance, is a leading Western paper, interested
in the improvement Of the Mississippi river,
already furiously denouncing the Senate com
mittee for the reason that 1t supposes Mr.,
Window docs not look with very great favor
upon that project. All these differences and
dissensions arc in the interest Of the railroad
nonopolios, and the 'grangers' will do well
to closely watch these Organs OF public
opinion"

concluded number of the
CONSERVATIVES TRIED TO BREAK UP THE
MEETING,
urging their friends to leave without hearing
Mr.. Senor (Republican,) who had now taken
the stand, and by an apparent concert Of
action number Of drunken men and youths
set up q series of hideous yells and outcrics,
| evidently trying to intimidatc Mr.. Senor, but
they missed their reckoning. Mr.. Sener said
while not being anxious to speak, (his friends
having fully covered the ground, he was not
drunken rowdies. He was going to speak,
and the people were going to listen, and he
verified his statement, for as he proceeded his
opponents, either attracted by his eloquonce
| or ashamed of their conduct, ceased their
| noise and once more crowded round to hear
him.
lie said he knew that the good people OF
Accomac had no sympathy with the Disgrace
ful conduct just exhibited, and he was as
tonished that any one, even 4 drunken man,
should suppose he could be intimidated.
lie thought when his Conservative friends
asked for a division Of time they had some
argument to present-something new and to
the point but us General Bagwell had pre-
sented no argument, or even statement, except
what had been repeatedly said last fall, and
which the people had acted on by casting the
vote OF the State for General Grant, he would
not worry the patience Of the audience by
following General Bagwell. Mr.. sener then
delivered q brief eulogy upon the character Of
the Republican candidates and principles Of
that party and closed, his manner and re-
marks creating a profound and favorable SEN
sation.
The meeting was evidently great success
for the Republicans, aud the evidences are
that Colonel Hughes will gain largely on the
vote OF General Grant In Accomac.
Colonel Hughes and friends were hand
somely entertained by the citizens, and !
noticed Mr.. John Lesner, deputy sheriff Of
Norfolk county, who owns neat property
over here near Pungoteague, was conspic-

After q vast amount of discussion. the ComInittee
of the Union Trust Company appointed to consider
measures leading TO the resumption OF business
separated yesterday, advising the receiver OF the
Company to accept the terms proposed by Commo-
dore Vanderbilt in the matter of the Lake SHORE
loan. Receiver Wesley, who was applied to Tor III
formation concerning the details, refused to mpart
it but it is, officially known that Commodore
Vanderbilt declined to vary his original propo-
sition, namely, to give his notes for the
81 100000 payable in three, six, and nine months,
secured by Harlem Railroad stock at 80. The trus-
tees of the Trust Company have been obliged to
accept the offer, and it is understood that the
receiver will apply to the Court to-day for permls
sion to sell the notes bids having already been made
for them. Ii is expected that with the proceeds
from the sale of these notes, and an additional sum
which the stockholders win subscribe, the Trust
Company will resume business about the LIST INST
with an increased capital of $1,0Oo,0OO The out
standing indebtedness will be lquidated as rapidly
as possible and an early announcement OF the re-
sumption Of business Will DO made.

For some time past rumors have been circulating
to the effect that charges of immense frauds on the
revenue had been made against the extensive house
of Woodruff 81 Robinson of No. A Front-st and
No. 10 Coentiesslip. They were alternately
denied and reasserted; finally semi-oficial
denial was made by members of the firm,
and later Brooklyn paper denied the statement
and Endorsed tho character Of the firm.
An effort has been made by TRIBUNE reporters TO
give the accuser and the accused fair hearing,
and the results Of the investigation reproduced
below. 1t Will be seen that the firm stoutly deny
the charges made against them. and attribute the
attack upon their reputation TO the malice Of one Of
their former employees.
