It is stated that there is chance for q COM
promise between the Baltimore ond Ohio and
Pennsylvania Central Railroad Companies and
a return to the former rates of charges. So
long as only the Pennsylvania and the Balti-
more and Ohio were involved iu the war, they
could do we'll enough. Their reduced tariffs
brought them the great bulk Of travel and
freghtage between the East and West, and
the increased business more than made up for
the decreased charges. But with the Erie and
other roads entering into the war, competition
all around returns to its former basis, and with
business evenly distributed at the present low
figures the various companies find there is no

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7.

Gable kilograms this morning bring the SUD-
stance of the recent official communication De-
tween the German and Belgian Governments
The Prussian note to Belgium concerning the
pas.orates of the Bishops and other matters OF
offense. after enumerating the causes OF COM
plant, adds: 1t is scarcely possible that the
laws of Belgium cannot enable the Govern
meut to stop undertakings which might alter
its relations with neighboring State. Neu-
trail States which wish to preserve the adVant-
age of their position, should carefully AVOID
anything which might alter that principle OF
neutrality, which is the basis of their existence.
IfBelgian laws do not contain the authority
necessary to obtain the legitimate satisfaction
claimed by the German Government, the lat
ter hopes Belgium will supply the deficiency
by fresh legislation. Begium's answer to the
Prussian now refutes the claims put forward,
and reminds Germany that the pastoral Letters
complained of were published at the beginning
of the struggle in Germany against the Pope,
and ought now to be forgotten. The address
of sympathy to the imprisoned Bishop OF Pad
erborn, another grievance alleged by Germany
Belgium insists was the act Of individuals, not
OF an organized society. The answer continues
Germany previously thanked the Belgian au
thorities for their conduct in the matter OF the
Duchesne plot, an Investigation into which ii

Gent for the suppression of actual ofenses, bu
offenses of Intention cannot be oppressed. The
liberty enjoyed by Belgium is drawn ''om the
very vitas of the nation. The attitude of thl;
people has always excited general admiration
They have given an example of liberty, allied
to order. Independent and neutral, Belgium
has never done Anything, Notwithstanding the
incessant intercourse between the two countries
that could alter its relations with friendly na'
ton which guarantees her independence.

The latest returns from Connecticut approx
innate so nearly to correctness that they will
not be greatly altered by the official count.
There was very large vote polled, the Repub-
lcans gaining nearly four thousand and the
Democrats more than seven thousand over the
respective vote of last year. IngersolPs ma
jority for governor is 9,52S, which is Demo
cratic gain of about two thousand as compared
with 1874 There is but one republican elect
ed to Congress-Mr. Starkweather, from the
Third District. The Democrats carry the other
three districts, gain of two in the Congress
sioual delegation. Hawley, it is said, was
defeated 10 the First District by the running OF
an Independent candidate, who secured just
enough votes to return the Democratic candi-
date. The Legislature is largely Democratic.

The New York Herald publishes sketch of
the life of Ebert Herring, the oldest lawyer 10
the country, and perhaps in the world, who
has just celebrated bis ninety eighth birthday.
He remembers New York when the city did
not extend much beyond Ann street, and when
the best people resided below Wall street, and
when Bridewell Jail stood on the site Of the
City Hall, and when the city was not half the
size of Newark. MIR. Herring has lived in
New York for more than ninety years, was ad-
mitted to the Bar in 1898, and was judge Of
the Marine Court the year Napoleon became
Emperor of France. Charles O'Couor, now
an old and illustrious man, was student in
bis Office. Mr.. Herring was also Commissioner
of Indian Affairs-the first that held the posi-
ton.

A system of gross frauds uoon the Postofice
Department has been discovered at Washing
ton. The principals were TWO men named Kct-
tie and Hines, the latter being the newly ap-
pointed United States Marshal for Alabama
Their accessories were a number Of clerks 10
the department whom they had bribed. Their
mode of proceeding was to have their hired
aids abstract from the department bids for
mail lettings and substitute for them bids at
lower figures, with view to obtaining the con-
tracts. A false seal, which was obtained
through the conDivance of clerk, and the use
of fictitious names, were part of the plan. The
fraudulent contracts have beed annulled.
