companies which have, 1or the LI'.nih Ii
Of September, shown u ftlling OF i'll
receipts of $3.50, ,499 as compared
with those Of September, 1878.
Daring September, 1873, the ship
ments Of grain at The Western ports
amounted to 25, ,49U ,357 against 14,4
$50, 2U3 bushels for September, 1874
From this it would appear That the
Western farmers have held back H.
4GO, l54 bushels of grain during q
single month rather than pay the ex-
orbitant rates Of 35 cents bushel
for transportation from Chicego to
the seaboard. %
1t seems to me that sooner or later,
the question of freight charges on
int r-state traffic must come before
Congress for adjudication, and if the
is too complex for our Ma
tional Congress to untangle, their
places may be given to less oratori-

is attended with no fever; his all

physical man. attended with a col.
lapse of his mental forces, and his
nearest friends regard the statements
in the New York Heraid,
charging Mr. Ross with n guilty
knowledge of his child's abduction,
as the primary cause Of his mental
ana physical suilerings.
He could have stood up under the
loss of his Little boy, sustained by
the hope that sooner or later, he
woud be returned 10 him. To be
locked upon as guilty of Il crime that
would startle the world, which, add
ed TO The grief from his loss, was too
much to be borne, and he has gone
down under it. Mr.. Ross may re-
cover under, the most careful treat-
ment, or he may die at amy moment,
ANA here let me observe that from a
recent conversation with his business
partner | learn that the family de-
sire the fullest penalty inflicted upon
the publishers OF the Reading EoSle.
