ANOrHER VICTORY FOR GARRETT.
lew York sun, March Il.


The railroad war. hitherto nOminally
restricted to the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania railroads, be-
came general yesterday. The agents
of the Pennsylvania railroad IN tins
city received orders to resume the
freight schedule which was in use prior
&c the Saratoga compact Of last sum-
mer. A like order was also, 1t Is SAID,
promulgated by the managers of the
Central and Erie, showing that the
breaking of the compact was concerted
by the roads named. The new schedule
goes into operation to-day. Under
these orders freight is to be shipped at
this point on the basis of IS cents per
hundred (frst-class) for Chicago, and
81 cents per hundred for st. Louis.
The Saratoga schedule was on the basis
Of 81 for Chicago.
The Baltimore and Ohio managers
look upon this action as a victory Tor
them. They say that the announce
ment is only a matter of form, since
the new rules have actually been in
operation on all the roads named for
several weeks-that is, where consider
able shipments have been involved
The other roads, forced into the market
IN self-defence, have been compelled to
make public their reduction in rates,
although the Baltimore and Ohio has
OF issued a schedule since the begin
ming Of the war, preferTing t. deal with
shippers individually.
The Baltimore and Ohio road, which
was represented at the Saratoga con-
ference, fatty refused 70 accede to the
proposition to advance Chicago freight
from IS cents to 81, President Garrett
maintaining that his road could afford
TO take that business at the former
figure. He entered into the passenger
tariff compact cond tionally, but now
says that the action of Col Scott led
him to recede from the agreement, and
brought about the war. President
Garrett is apparently little concerned
as to the operations of his rivals, hav-
ing gone to Florida for the remainder
Of the season.

THE CATHOLICS AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
New York Herald.

We have reason to know that the
violent attack upon the public schools
which Father Walker made in his SER
mon last Sunday offended the Catholics
Of the city as much as it has astonished
the Protestants. But If there were
any Doubt that all intelligent classes
Indignantly repudiate his startling
doctrines the letters we print to-day
should remove II, while at the same
time they should convince the over
Jealous priest that this is not a healthy
climate for his peculiar theology. Some
of our correspondents point out the
indisputable fact that the true harm
done by Father Walker is to the Church
he pretends to defend, but which we
hope he misrepresents. There could
be nothing more injurious to CathOl-
icism IN this country than TO have the
appointment Of an American cardinal
accompanied by an apparent move
luent Of the clergy against the system
Of free popular education. The people
would naturally then oppose as a
menace an event which they now re-
gard as an honor.

THE DANGERS OF RUSHING Leg
ISLATECN.

It is notorious that there Is often IN
sufficient time to have the appropria-
ton bills completely enrolled before
Congress expires. This was the case
with one Of the appropriation bills last
session. The enrolling clerks enrolled
the first two or three and the last two
or three pages only, and between these
they fastened the sheets Of the en-
crossed bill Il was not their fault, of
course, as it was physically impossible
TO enroll the entire bill, but the fact
that the law is evaded IN this manner
shows how extremely dangerous this
sort Of legislation Is. There is a CON-
mittee on enrolled bills IN both houses,
and it IS their duty to compare every
bill after 1t is enrolled and report it to
the House or Senate, butt is notorious
that this is never done during the rush
Of the close Of a session. To remedy
these evils 1t is proposed to adopt the
English method and require all bills to
be printed OF parchment before they
are signed. This would effectuallypre-
vent the dangerous habit of rushing
bills Of every nature through up to the
very last moments of the session.

WORTHLESS TIFTEE-TATTLE OF
THE BEECHER TRIAL.
New York Eera

The most wearisOme mess Of worth.
less title -tattle ever inflicted or the
patience Of q l0ng-suffering public is
presented IN the trivial and prolix tes-
timony Of the minor witnesses in the
BeecheT trial. Of what cOnse-
quence Is 1t to the purpose Of the trial
with whom Oliver johnson went to hear
Tilton's political speech at the Brook
Ign Academy Of Music, or what places
he visited on his way home, or what
Albert Brisbane said at hrs. Wood
huN's house about national finances
and his scheme Of a pneumatic tunnel
between New York and Washington,
or whether Miss Oakley did or did not
recollect Mrs. Tilton's bad En-
glish II q conversation IN the
presence Of her children at her
table: We do not know what
may at last be flashed out of this inf
mite sea Of Irrelevancy, but it looks too
much as if there is a purpose to pro-
tract the trial until some one Of the
iurymen is utterly broken in health in
order that it may end without a YER
dict. II such a result should happen
Just at the point where Nj. Beecner
has completed his direct testimony, and
before he is subjected to the ordeal Of a
cross examination, it would have
most unhappy effect on public opinion.
The fact that one Of the
jurymen IS in 50 precarous a condition
that he Is compelled to take hourly
doaes Of medicine IN the courtroom,
and Is liable ofal out Of the case on any
day, should admonish the counsel Of
Mr. Beecher to bring him at once on
the stand, and make sure that his whole
testimony is given and s:fted before
any unfortunate accident puts a sudden
termination to the trial.

THAT was a memorable meeting on
Pennsylvania avenue, IN the neighbor-
hood Of half-past five O'Clock, last
Wednesday evening, and it is thus de-
scribed by the Washington correspond
ent Of the Chicago Times: President
Grant was out To- a walk. He came
down the avenue, calmly putting a
cigar, apparently absorbed IN mighty
thoughts. When he came along IN
front Of the Imperial Hotel, where
Andy johnson resides, the Presi-
dent saw johnson getting out Of a
car and starting for the hotel, IN a d.
rection that would bring him across
Grants path. The President quicken
ed his pace to avoid meeting johnson,
but the crowd Of loungers about him
prevented him from making as much
speed as he desired. He lost sight Of
johnson, and, when he thought he had

THE Senators who are responsible
for the new and oppressive postal law
already find that measure a milestone
about their political necks. De-
nounced on every side, no one has a
single word to say in their defense.
The PHILADELPHIA Enquirer makes
these sensible suggestions on the sub
ject: There are two things which the
next Congress should promptly do.
First, repeal the law Of which the ez-
press companies secured the passage,
and then order an investigation
into the means by which such
a law became part Of an ap-
preparation bill Congress need not

their lobbyists to get all the informa-
ton necessary TO demonstrate how ut
terIv corrupt were the influences at
work 70 impose this new and disgrace
full burden upon the people and the
newspapers. 1t would be just as well
that Mr.. Ramsey SHOULD be questioned
as to what particular arguments were
employed to induce him to advocate so
strongly, and carry through so secretly,
legislation for the Postofice Depart
ment. which the Postmaster General

The following letter was yesterday
received by the Revenue Reform Asso-
citation from the Comptroller of the
Currency, IN reply to one addressed to
him asking what right the internal
revenue agents had to institute an in
QUESTION INTO the affairs of banks, with
a view to ascertaining whether they
held any unstamped vouchers:
SRI have received your letter Of
llth INST, with inclosure. The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue claims
the right, under section 81 of the act Of
June ,. 1854, and section 70 Of act of
July 3, 1868, to make examination of
checks in national banks, with a view
to ascertain whether the requirs d
stamp has been affixed thereto.
Whether he has such night has never
been iudicially determined, but IL any
national bank shall object to such ex-
animation, an issue may be made and
the question brought before the courts
for adjudication. Very respectfully,

TIE Temps, Of Paris, a Protestant
organ. declares that the intolerance of
Free-IhinkeTs Is not a whit better than
the intolerance Of Ultramontanism. In
illustration of this remark it tells Of
the reception which was given by the
students of Paris to a friendly address
from thestudents Of Edinburgh, where
in the examination Of religious truth
was recommended. st. Hilaire, a mem
Der of the institute, consented to COM
municate the address and offer some
remarks to the students. When, IN the
course Of his observations, be said that
the search for religious truth, which
ought to be the centre of all truths,
was neglected, hewas vigorously Missed,
and, finding himself personally abused,
was compelled to desist. Speakers who
sought to follow him Jared no better,
the Young gentlemen having evidently
determined that they wouldn't listen
even to a request to investigate the
claims Of Christianity.

A DRAWN GAME.
What the New Ham sshiTe Setback
should Teach the Connecticut Dem
0erafG-
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The New Hampshire election is q
drawn game. Cheney. Republican, got
about five hundred more votes for Gov
ernor than Roberts, Democrat; but the
eight hundred cast for White, Prohi-
bition, suficed to prevent a choice at
the polls. The Republicans have a
majority Of FIVE or eight In the lower
House of the Legislature, and this Sc
cures the election Of Cheney by that
body In Jure.
The Senate is believed to be tie be-
tween the two parties. In the Council,
which has a good deal to do with ap-
pointments to Office, the Democrats
have one majority. The Congressional
delegation stands two Democrats and
one Republican, each candidate having
obtained barely votes enough to elect
him.
This, therefore, is & drawn game.
But the Democrats ought to have done
better. In view Of the fact that they
have held control of every branch of
the State Government for the past
year, and Of the strong sweep Of the
tide In favor of their party last fall,
and Of the Infamous course of the
GRANTEES at the recent session of Con-
gress, the Democracy Of New Hamp-
shire ought TO have now succeeded by
handsome majority. But the party has
not been wise in its administration of
the State government during the past
year. Aside from this, however, the
Republicans at their State Convention
passed a strong resolution against
third term for Grant, and this aided
them wonderfully with disaffected men,
bers Of their party. Then, too, they
contrived to win over nearly two-thirds
Cf the ProhibitiOnists, and this helped
them out still further.
The setback in New Hampshire
should operate as a warning to the
Democrats Of Connecticut; for its repe-
tition there in April might start the
tide for the elections next fall In a
direction most disastrous to them.

THE railroad war has now assumed
its full dimensions, all the great trunk
lines joining in the game Of cutting
and gouging. New York anticipates
an early increase Of trade IN conse-
quence Of the low rates, but fears that,
in the end, the effect viii be unfavor-
able. The large jobbers in Western
trade centers, such as Chicago, Cincin-
natl and St. Louis, had laid in their
spring stocks before the railroad war
affected freights. Now, before the
spring trade is fairly open, come the
large reductions IN freight and passen-
ger rates, and naturally country deal
ers will seek the New York markets,
knowing that they can buy at first
hands, ship their goods, and then sell
them at a better profit than they could
have made had they purchased Of job
bers IN their own neighborhood. This
viii add largely to the spring trade of
New York, but 1t is feared by some
merchants that it viii greatly injure

upon the New York market.
