There Is much complaint OF scarcity Of cars
for the transportation Of grain from ChEeEo to
tho East. This Is regarded by some M prelftn-
mary to advance In tho rates Of freight by tho
railroads. This explanation is offered that Or
dcrs hare been given to return no empty cars to
the West; tlot ts, that no cars received East
with grain bD returned to the West unless they
carry freight. This regulation, il true, Will ae-
count, ut this season, for tho scarcity Of cars ut
tho West. While there is now no direct demand
for increased rates Of freight, shippcrs arc In
formed that there Is q scarcity Of cars. alr.
GARRETT, Of tho Baltimore tE Ohio Railroad, In
his recent speech at Baltimore, said that ttsera
was d blockade On tho New York Contral Rail-
road because, Of lis inability to perform tho
business It Ind undertaken to do. Whatcycr
tho truth may be, tho inability Of the railroads
to furnish transportation Is looked upon rs
really preliminary measuro to tho cxaction Of
higher rates. III Tho meantime tho receipts
Of grim fmve been very inrgc.
Lust week they amounted to o,3o0,000
bushels It Is true navigation Is still
opcn and lake frclgllts continue moderate, but
tho season is getting late, and must closa before
tho grain now hers and continuing to arriyo
wilt be shipped. A withdrawal OF cars Is cfIuly-
atcnt to strike Of railroad transportation,
looking to IN advance Of rates Under pressure
to relieve the West.
We think It likely that there will bo an 3D.
vance Of railroad frcights before very long; but
this advance Of frcghts will not include an
abantlonmentof tho VANDERBILT policy Of nov-'
| lug grain by his roads as low ns It is moved
| by tho shorter lines The mileage rates will
never be permanently restorea. The other
roads, which by withdrawal Of cara or other
measures seek to compel au advance Of frcights
| on some other principle, aro making d mistake.
| They Ind better reap the harvest while It ts
ripe. To leave thcis cars dle ut the East whfEe
there is tlemand for them here, Is a dog.ln-

that Mr.. Tilden has received majority

they realize that all the Republican

from that state were based simply upon
the determination 10 throw ont votes

TIE POLITICAL CRISIS
WASHINGTON, ID. G., Nov. 18th. 1876.
The present political crisis reminds us
somewhat of the fable about the grave
of the prophet Mohamed at Mecca. The
caskct containing his body was said to be
suspended in the air, by the hand Of
Allah, thus preserving it from contami.
nation. The secret of the suspended
casket consisted simply in the Ingenious
arrangement OF two magnets between
which the casket, which was made of
iron, was so nicely balanced that tor CEN
turies ii hung there, the object CT the
worship OF thousands of faithful Islam
ties who made the pilgrimage thither
for the purpose of seeing what they con-
sidercd to be the eighth wonder of the
world.
WAITING THE RESULT.
The past two weeks have really seemed
like two centuries, not only at the ma
tional capital. but throughout the Union.
Like Mohamed's casket, the result OF the
| election has been lowering, in state of
uncertainty, between the hopes and
| doubts OF both parties. AT times the bur
! den has seemingly inclined toward one
side or the other, thus promising 10 put
an end to all suspense, but in the next
moment the opposing magnet has gained
| force, and tie result has become as doubt
/ iul as ever. Truly, thi, i. a shade Of be-
