Railroad Meeting.

The resolutions and minutes of the
recent meeting of railroad men at Sar-
atoga have been taken to indianapolis by
the SECRETARY, and a copy is not to be OBJ
tanned here. The railroad men say that
it is not true that the meeting WAS called
for the purpose of combining against the
Granycrs or any other interest. They said
the object is simply the development of
the respective roads, and the abolition of
the system of underwriting and litigation
which has proved SO expensive 10 all.
The conference will soon be resumed, and
. the business introduced at the previous
meeting be brought to u close. Freight
agents report that the action of the rail-
road officials has simplificd their work
materially. Heretofore there was such
competition to secure freight that there
WAS no pretcncc of preserving nominal
rates. By gradual process of cutting
under the rates had been reduced from
20 to 40 per cent, while special rates were
made with large shippers. The follow
ing are the new rates agreed upon: Chi

in Brooklyn this morning. He said that
an invitation had been sent him to sp-

He declared that he was ready and will

parties requested it. He said that he had
not received letter from Mr.. Bcecher
asking him to go before the committee
and testify. MOulton said with great
sincerity that he still adhered to the
opinion expressed to the committee, that
the matter should have been compro-
missed. He regretted that the investiga-
tion had been commenced, and said that
the committee was an er parts affair and
never should have acted, except with a
view to effect compromise. But, con-
tinued Mr.. Moulton. at happens that |

had in this State. He has done more
for the State than all the others com
bined. Doubtless in some instances
he has erred, as he is only human,
but his errors have been few and un-
important. And we confidently be-
lieye. that he has always acted from
the pulest motives and not in bad
faith. Considering his great services
to the State, the people will evidently
re-elect HIM.
Secretary Chadwick has been a
good officer and his friends will be
found to be sufficiently numerous to
re-elect him by large majority.
We must not forgot to mention our
journalistic friend Mart. v. Brown,
candidate for State Printer. He is
the editor and proprietor Of the Al
bany DEMoRAT. He is a racy and
able writer and q practical printer.
He is q very popular, and when the
votes are counted he will be found to
have a large majority.
The ticket is q good one and for
moral worth cannot be beat. I'm
doubtedly the entire ticket will be
elected by large majority.

OCRATS.
ConvA1Lls March S1st, 1874

CORVALLIS March S1st, 1874.
Editor Democrat:
Allow me through your valuable
paper to give a few incidents from
Benton County. Politics seems TO be
the general theme OF conversation;
therefore, my subject will be politi.
cal one. | am not newspaper cor.
respondent, neither do | have any
desire 10 make myself conspicuous in
any shape or form, but merely to set
before the Democrats of Benton
County plain simple facts as they ex-
list, and urge upon them the necessity
6f immediate action. Now, let us
look around and see the different par.
ties with their relative prospects in
the coming political canvas. The
Democrats have nominated a good
State ticket, which all good men who
have the love of their country at heart
eau support, and which | have no
doubt will be elected by large ma.
jority the first of June. The Repub-
lican convention of Benton has met
and done its work II has put forth
a ticket thas will be easily beaten. 1t
has sold some ofthat party's best men
and traded them off for Jack knives ?
which has caused great dissatisfaction.
Next comes the so-called Independ-
eut parity which we must admit is
made up partly Of good, honest un-
suspectiug Democrats and ltepn,li.
cans who have the good OF ilrsif
country at heart, but who have been

by set Of sore and chronic office.
