Railroad CHARGES.

The leading merchants OF New York have
had al interview with Commodore WANDER
BlLT o. the subject Of railroad freight
charges, and We're assured by the Commo
dore that his object should be TO rather ben
e1it than ipjure New York trade. He made
explanations with regard to certain points
which seemed to give great satisfaction.
One cau0ot fail to observe the fact that the
interview indicates that railroad.men have
immense power over the course Of business
OF the country through their charges, dis
examinations, and fayors. Ii the great city
Of New York can be alarmed for her safety,
and with all her attractions aud power made
to apprehend a diversion of her commerce
through railroad determinations, what city
may not dread like injuries?
1t is q serious question with cities
The power to do such injury is one
that individuals should not possess
The freights of the country ought tc
be transported as near as possible upon a
footing of equality to all commercial commu
mites. Save in such exceptions as are In spc
eial cases unavoidable, fair and equitable
rule should prevail, under which every city
should enjoy whatever advantage may be-
long to it from geographical position. A
city hundred miles nearer the consumer
than another should not lose its advantage
over that other through reduction of the
charges on freights.
Should the goods from the city fartbesl
of be shipped to the consumer at a cost less
than, or even at the same cost with, similar
goods from the nearest town, a great wrong
is done. 1t is not ulfrequent that this
wrong is done to the cities OF the very Com
mon wealth to which the wrong doors are
indebted for their corporate existence. Thi!
| very city has been great victim to this sor,
OF outrage. Her citizens can speak feelingly
upon the subject.

Senator CoNKLlEG, Of New York, is pro.
minent person on the Republican side
among the asRirants to the presidency. He
is the champion of all the snowy and conse.
quental politicians, and if personal affecta.
ton ard swelling s.ateliness, together With
pompous logic, Can help him along, he will
clear the track. Mr. BLAINE, of Maine, will
fiad the senator whom SEIZURE compayed to a
lurkey-cock serious competitor.
It is stated that New York will send q
CoNkLlSa delegation TO the Republican Con-
veution, probably with instructions to 90
for CoSKLING first, and then for GRANT, il
being considered safer for CoNKL1HG's uti.
mate chance that GRANT should beat BLAINE.
HarpeTs' Weekly INDUCES a suspicion to
this effect, and suggests that the MORTON
party will practice q similar strategy. e.,
MORTON first, but GRANT ia preference 10

the third term will therefore be to elect IN.
pledged delegations. Ii these corjectures be
TeIi founded we may look out for eombi.

MINISTER - PROFIT OF THE PROMENADE
CoNcERTs-TRADE, ETC.
STAUNToN, December q, 1875.
This morning about l O'Clock there
was a hurricane and rain.storm of unusual
suddenness and violence. A clear, still y,
star.lit sky was covered in O few moments
with a densely black cloud, driven by a
furious wind. The rain fell 10 torrents, and
through its veil could be seen dull, red
light spreading along the southern horizon.
The scene lasted but short time. think
all these phenomena are but the heralds OF
that awful day known as the 1st Of January,
when all the bills are due.
Christmas day was observed in The Epis.
copa, Catholic, and Lutheran churches he;e
by services; st the First Presby terrain
church by q festival for the Sunday. school
children on Christmas. eve, and at the Second
Presbyterian church by Christmas tree for
the Sunday.school children on Christmas
day. The Episcopal church was profu>ely
and tastefully decorated, and the music was
of the finest Character. The novelty at the
First Presbyterian festival was band of
about dozen young ladies under the title
of "The Gospel Singers" who sang the
"Niuety and Nine" and other OF Moody 3
hymns very acceptably.
The promenade concerts given for the ben.
eft OF the West Augusta Guard and the
Stonewal band resulted in $500 gross receipts
and about S4O0 clear profit.
A "pound party" was given Rev. DR..
John S. Martin, of the Methodist church, on
Thursday night. About one hundred per.
sons OF the congregation assembled at the
church and marched to the Doctors house
and deposited their bundles, many of which
consisted Of the beautiful bird of Christ
mss-turkey.
At the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute
the pupils bad very handsome Christmas
dinner under the supervision OF Msjor A.
n. Breckenridge, the steward and at the
Western Lupatie Asylum dinner was given
10 the patients.
The pulpits of the city were filed yester-
dsy by their regular occupants except atthe
Second Presbyterian church: very able
sermon was delivered by Rev. Samuel Nc.

stroying three buildings on east Market
street, owned by y. L. Greiver and a. j.
Nicholas, and greatly damaging the large
brick pement establishment
and hardware house belonging to Messrs. d.
c. & S. NJ. jones, now in the occupancy OF
Messrs. Treber & GaS$man. The early hour
in the evening at which the alarm was
sounded had the effect OF collecting large
number of our citizens, who. with the tire

This fire was the greatest corhigration we
have had since the great fire Of December %,
1870, when the very heart of the town was
threatened with destruction. 1t is not known
how the lire originated, there being several
theories on the subject. The presumption
is, however, that il was accidental. y.
