The present tolls on wheat are Ito cents and on
corn cents per bushel. from Buffalo to Troy, 90
miles. They were reduced in 1870. those ON wheat
from 2i-lOO, or one-balf and those on corn from
4 63-l00 to 8 cents. or about SS per cent.
One cent por bushel taken off the present tolls
and the same proportion on other articles, would
annihilate nearly all the net income OF the Erie
Canal, considered alone. and would make defioi-
ency in respect to the four canals retained of half
q million of dollars a year, if future expenditure
should be the same as in these three years.
The construction Of the details of the toll sheet
belongs to the Canal Board, and adjustments from
time to time may be necessary. Doubtless sugges-
tons on that subject will always receive due consid-
GRAFTON. But in the present condition OF things 10

NO RASH INNOVATIONS. 4. .
The question of altering the gates of the locks, or
otherwise lengthening the chambers, may be safely
deferred until we can be sure of its utility.
The fact that on the Delaware and Raritan
Canal. which admits of long boats. the pro-
portions which exist in those now used on the
Erie Canal are preferred is against that alteration.
as is also the Judgment of excellent canal en-
gineers. Holding ourselves ready TO accept i'm.

Earth.

About $3.50 O'Clock this evening, on
Melpomene street, between Magnolia
and Clara, three colored men, named
VILLAIN Foster, Cubet Foster and
James Foster, were drunk and dis
turbing the peace. and on being check
ed by the officer for such conduct they
became very boisterous and two of
them drew knives and advanced to
attack him, and be was all alone on
that beat at that time, and having
made many whistles for assistance
without receiving any, and being put
in bodily fear for his life, he pulled
out bis pistol and shot the man vii.
liam Foster, who was the most des-
perate of the three, the ball taking
effect in bis face.
He then arrested the other two, and
on conveying them to the Station was
met by officer J. Sienne, on Melpom.
enc, between Franklin and Liberty
streets, and surrendered himself to
him, as be was almost sure that the
man was MORALLY wounded. The
wounded man was conveyed by bis
friends to the residence of bis parents
on Willow street, between MelpJmene
and ITALIA, where be soon expired.
The others were brought to the Sta.
ton, and on being searched, q large
pocket-knife was found open in one
of their pockets. The knife that the
deceased had is a large sheath-knife
and was brought to the Station by the
oficer.-New Orleans Bulletin, goth
