The Crangers and the Railroads

AT the one hundredth and sixth an.
nual banquet of the New York Cham.
Der Of Commerce, hich was celebrated
last Thursday, President Dodge openly
laid the present depression Of .radc at
the door of the Grangers as follows:
think it Is very easy to account for
The present stagnation of trade. when
we consider the fact that during the
past eighteen months there has been de.
veloped systematic opposition to rail.
roads, which was commenced bv the
farming interest of the West, has spread
to almost all parts Of the country. and
has become an organized political pow.
or, leading :he legislatures Of some OF
the States to enact laws which, If sus-
tained aud cnrried out, must DESTROY
confidence in railroad investments. The
very agitation OF these railroad qnes.
tions IN the State aud national capital.
lists at home and abroad, and as they see
this vast interest passing from the con-
troll Of the stockholders aud directors
into the hands Of political commission.
ers, who arc TO attempt to regulate prices
Of transportation in the interest of the
producers, they very naturally hasten to
dispose Of their investments, aud rail-
road securities, which but short time
before were sought after with conf
dence, are now considered very uncer.
tain, and have been for months past,
crowded on the market, until they have
declined so fearfully that the very stock
list is constantly increasing the distrust.
But for this war on The railroads, men
OF property would have held these se-
curiiies until the growth OF the country
would have given them permanent val
ue. We now see this great interest
PROSTATE, and various branches Of in.
dustry which II has rosiered para.
lived. Tho iron manufactures which
have sprung into life all over the coun.
try are the offspring OF our raj lroads, so
,he locomotive aud car building, the
axle, the spirng, and the wheel works,
and the hundred other manufactures
depending on the prosperity Of the
railroads, are crippled and many
Of them ruined. Thousands OF opera
tives in these various manufactures are
idle, and roling-mils. furnaces. aud
founderies are oil standing still, because
the State and the nation have struck a
deadly blow at this great interest.

The Prospect.

The crop prospect In the West is en-
couraging, Notwithstanding the back
wardness Of the spring season. The
fruit crop promises well generally, lit
tic damage having been done by the
frost. In the Fai West, as in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, farming operations
have been retarded, but it Is believed
there will be good season after all for
the different cereals. Except in certain
parts of Maryland and Delaware, the
injury to fruit trees by the frost has
been generally inconsiderable.

The Trouble.

The scarcity Of money, of which SO
much is read and heard, is largely attri.
butable to the unions and combinations
forming in different portions Of the
country under the manipulations of un-
scrupulous men, who are too lazy to
work for living themselves, and seek
TO make tools Of those who do labor
These combinations are aggressive in
their tendency, and arc causing capital
to "hide out" No man of sense will
invest his means in legitimate enter
prisos when he sees hostile influences
growing up all around him. He, there.
fore, either sinks his money out Of sight
to mould in idleness, or invests il in go.
vernmen. bonds when II ceases to exist
as q part of the circulating medium Of
the country. Money is not only scarce
now, but will grow scarccr and scarcer
as long as the hostile influences referred
10 are cultivated and encouraged. The
arraying of one interest against another
is doing more to retard the growth, de-
velopment and prosperity of the coun.
try than all other causes combined, ard
is bound to ultimate in permanent in

at particularly low ebb at the time, the
amount could not be called high. Re-
duce it to gold bnsis, and see what it
amounts to. The appropriation for tho
regular session of 1865 (threo weeks and
q half) was 5000, and it was not ex-
hausted; this appropriation covered the
Acts, permanent journals, reports and
resolutions, Sc. This statement is due
to the proprietor of the PHEN1x, who
was tho State Printer at that time.
The RoYAn MARRIAGE.-Tho union
which took place on tho Odd of the Duke
of Edinburgh and tho Russian Princess
Marie is not considered an event of my
direct political importance, though it
may De expected to exercise moral in
fuenco and increased social intercourse
between the two nntions. Their in
terests in the East aro perhaps not 30
irreconcilable az they are supposed to
be, and better mutual understand
may make this conviction in the
minds OF both. The New York Times
recalls the fact that Ivan ", one of the
most beral-minded rulers that Russia
has had, vas extremely anxious to take
TO wife the virgin Queen OF England,
and if mis- suit had been successful, it is
more than probable that the subsequent
history of Europe would have been very
different from what it is. The young
couple will 60 to housekeeping under
