they themselves have habitually for
fifteen years saddled the most vicious
partisan measures on these very bills with
which II is not pretended they had the re-

Senate resists and threatens to defeat the

Some time ago the trustees of the -four

dinner to lot OF editors who came to visit their
town but when the bill for the repast came up
for audit one sensible man protested against the
using OF the village money for feeding editors.
The result was that tho trustees brought suit
for the money to pay for the victuals and drink
They at nrst got an unjust decision In their
favor. But, the case having been appealed,
Judge LEARNED OF the Supreme Court rendered
wise and equitable decision that the trustees
had no power TO appropriate money for such a
purpose. We quote from the astute and learned
Judges decision:
at IL said that the expenditure repaid by
quent editorial pus but Il is not proper for trustees
shown that the editors paupers, there might
been some propriety in keeping them from starving
This Is az sound as II is pungent, and ad min
listers a righteous rebuke to the editors who
thought TO pay, or who were considered bv the
foolish trustees likely to pay, for their dinner
by pufing the said trustees. II editors cannot

Brother BLAINE may have been very
much excited in his hypocritical speech Of
self-defence in the House yesterday
but he did not meet the charges that have
beon brought against him, nor clear up
those jobbing transactions in which he has

and the demonstration which he made was
merely got up as a new cover to his opera
lions. What though two of the members
of the committee by which his transac-
tions have been investigated were in

an answer TO the exposures that have been

End Of Tie KaiIrOAd War.

New YORK, December l6.-The Post
says the railroad managers signed pois-
tive agreement. There will be no dis
elimination against New York, save as
regards local freights. This ends the
railroad war. On Monday next there
will be a general advance in freight
rates. East-bound freights from Chicago
will be advanced to 80 cents per
hundred pounds on grain and -four and
to 35 cents per hundred on fourth class
and provisions. West bound freights
will be reduced to 50 cents per hundred
on first class, and the same proportion on
other classes. All the competition rates
will be the same on the lines on purely
local rates, as between Chicago and New
York, Baltimore and PhIladel phia, and
II per centum less than New York on
local rates between st LOUIS and New
York, Baltimore and Philadelphia. The
discrimination against New York will
be abont IL per centum In favor OF Balti-
more, and about 10 per ccntum in favor
of Philadelphia. Railroad men say Off
cially that under the new arrangement
shipments of traffic in either direction
from all competing points in the West,
beyond the..termini of the several lines, or
to Europe, through 20 Portland, Boston,
New York, Philsdelphis and Baltimore,
shall be the same in the aggregate cost TO

the same be shipped in through bills Of
