CENTENNIAL RATES.

A Convention of General Ticket
Agents Of railroads III the United STATE
met yesterday at Louisville, Kentucky.
for the purpose of considering propo-
sition to reduce fares during the Gen.
tennial Exhibition. 1t is believed that
all the railroads in the Atlantic States
will reduce rates at least twenty-five
per cent for the time mentioned. We
believe the Union and Central Pacific
are not represented at the Convention,
as the latter company decided some
time since to make no reduction from
regular rates. 1t is consoling to know
that all railroad companies ere not
heartless, and that before another Cen
tennial rolls around there will be oppo-
sition lines of travel between the Allan
tic and Pacific, or that Congress will
be elected, Sufficiently Independent to
regulate the rates of freight and pas
senger tariff on roads built at the ex-
pense of the Government.
