RAILROAD FREIG aTS.
What the Recent Saratoga Convention
Of Trunk Railway Managers De-
sired 90 Accomplish.
cheap Freixh and Passenger Tariffs
No Rebates On FreIghts or Conn
missions on Tickets Sold.

INDIANAPOLIS, August 5.-The sec
retary OF the recent conference at Sara
toga Of the managers of the trunk lines
and western railways, gives some inter-
esting Information in regard to the
meeting. 1t was held, be says, for the
purpose of freely discussing all matters
of general Importance tending to the ad-
vancement of railway interests. The
particular subject which engaged the at
tentiOn OF the officials was the adoption
of some general cooperative plan by
which agreed freight and passenger
rates would be agreed upon between
them in common. Competing points
could be maintained, and so stop the
present nefariOus practice of paying re-
bates OF drawbacks on freight shipments
and commissions to ticket-sellers. The
meeting was large, nearly all the east
ern and western lines being represented.
While the various questions were thor
oughiy and earnestly discussed, the
greatest harmony aud good will pre-
vailed, the sole determination being on
all hands to bring about general re-
form in railway management, so far as
rates were concerned. The following is
the substance of the resolutions adopted
at the conferences:
FiTst-Any western road may keep an
agent in any eastern city, provided that
such agent shall not be q building or
contracting agent, and shall be under
the supervision Of the trunk-line COM
missioneTs Ia respect to the maintenance
of rates.
Second Rates offreights between COM
mon competitive points east bound are
to be established by the commissioners,
and rates both ways shall be divided
between the lines carrying the trade, on
such basis as they may agree upon.
Third Questions aTisiog out of rates
for freights carried by rail and on the
lakes are to be determined by the east
ern and western commissioners jointly
the plan to be agreed upon by majority
of each commission, recognizing obliga-
tons under existing contracts between
1 the trunk lines and other organized
steamboat connections on the lakes, but
/ giving the best practicable protection to
/ all-rail lines.
Commissioner at the several
western railroad centers are to be nomi-
| mated by the respective competing lines,
but to be approved by all parties to the
agreement. The commissioners will ne

enough to make a fatal ending-then

pERs.-It is evident that all members of Con
gross do not hold the same .opinion in regart
to the standing and influence of the loca
press, and for obvious reasons no doubt. III
the House debate on tile salary grab question,
Ben. Butler, Of Mass, lashed himself into a
fury and declared that "the Howl of Che
was provoked because their dirty
sheets were not allowed to 60 through tic
mails free" 1t was con that account that
Congress had been pursued with forty
iaekass mud power" He also alluded to the.
defeat administered to him in Massachusetts
md characterized it as :. the work of bowling
In short, his speech was an
unqualified defence of the salary grab, and
'old defence of public opinion on the acts of
MEMBERS, by member of Congress for whom
ublc opinion has no respect.
In contrast with Buffers contempt for the
