Governor Smith was before the Railroad
committee on Monday evening. lie said
that il the Legislature should undertake to
fx rates of freight, by a commission, the
! \ ew York Central and other competing
routes would so below the Central Vermont
The result would be that we should lose the
business. The Western roads change their
freight tariffs almost daily. and We must
conform to them. Since his connection
with the Central Vermont it had always
been his aim to conciliate the public on its
line. Before that time the road had been
under foreign management, which disre-
rarded their interests, so tb at people would
stand by and see bridges destroyed or wood
sheds burned and be glad OF 1t The lum-
Der business commenced at Burlington in
1857 OF thereabouts. Between four and five
hundred millions are now annually got out
there We have encouraged this business,
and reduced the rates for freights to meet
the times and competition, so that we have
made Burlington the third shipping point
for lumber in the United States. With
E these bills the lumbermen will move away
! and 20 to Albany. IL is our object to give
, equal rights to all without iavoritism. In
regard To passes, he said that the system

t roads in almost every State. We have given
= them like the rest TO State officers, to those
{ with whom we had land damages, ETC., tc

own merits. He explained at length why
; local freigh,s cannot be carried at the same
rates as those going on long distances.

HENRI RoCHEFORT.
The Escaped French Communist Inter
vieWed-TIae Story OF His Escape
Views Of French Affairs.

CHICAGO, May 28.-Henri ROchefort
arrived here this afternoon from San
Francisco, and two hours later left for
New York. No reception was given
him by the communists. The Omaha
special to the EUen3Hg Post gives re-
port of an interesting interview with
Roehefort in shat place. He stated that
he left New Caledonia on the twentieth
Of March, having been there three
months. He gives fearful picture Of the
life of prisoners confined there, particu-
larly those sentenced for crime. The
condition OF the political prisoners was
more tolerable, as they were not obliged
to labor, and those who had money were
allowed to purchase such comforts as
were obtained there. ROchefort and
several Of his companions were permit
ted to build 3 small house, which aided
much to their comfort. OF his escape
and that of his companions, he would
only say that they engaged an English
bark Of four hundred tons burden to sail
around the coast, and that they swan
off to the vessel, being in water from
eight o'clock in the evening until mid
night before they were picked up, in an
almost exhausted condition.
In regard to political matters in
France, Rochefort expressed the opinion
that the prospect for the republicans is
very bright, that MscMahon cannot sus-
tain himself three months, and that it
is more than probable that Thiers will
