The RdiIirdy UOrN thus comments on recent
remarks concerning the effect upon New-fork OF
railway war during the season of inland nayiga-
ton:
The comments Of the TRIBUNE perhaps make ont a
stronger case than the would fully justify Is
doubtful whether sufficient allowance Is made Tor the
considerable quantities OF grain sent tO Baltimore aud
Philadelphia which were not forwarded llom NOith-

commercial interests OF the southern cities tau by

cation with the Northwest.
Inland navigation has been closed. and hence
there now exists splendid opportunity for the en-
forcement of that vital principle" We confess TO
our impatence concerning the matter because, as
shown few days since by publishing the tariff Of
rates. there does exist discrimination of 22 cents
in favor Of Baltimore aud cents in favor of Phla-
delphia against this port, on freight by rail from
Chicago. The dilemma of our railways is admitted.
For six months they have carried on ruinous and
senseless war against the lake and canal boatmcn,
and, to just the extent of that consequent ex-
haustion, are now, with their inflated capt
tails and debts, unprepared TO attempt to
dictate terms to such healthy corporation
as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. They must
either carry to New-York as cheap as may be done
to Baltimore and Philadelphia or thy and this city
lose large portion of the business. Ii our railroads
make their rates conform TO the present ones to Bal
tinore and Philadelphia it Is not doubted but that
the Baltimore and Ohio will Immediately reduce gig
cents lower. and so continue to do. because. not
wthstanding all the talk of settlement, it seems
clear that tho latter company are determined to
maintain the mileage bass-a principle Which, we
are informed, both the State Of Maryland and city
of Baltimore have sgnifled their intention of sus-
tanning the company in. The position is one pre-
