The Washington Star, in view of the
startling development made BIZ the New
York Tribune in the construction of the CT
pher dispatches, by which is exposed the eff
forts OF Mr.. Tilden's friends to purchase the
electoral vote of Florida, has the following
intimation to Mr.. Potter. The proposed
fraud in Florida is even worse than that in
Oregon, land places Mr.. TilGen and his imme.
date counselors in very unenviabe posi-
ton. The Star says:
Mr.. Representative Potter will please take
notice that if he wishes to save his commit.
tee and its proceedings from the contemn.
of the whole American people. without re-.
gard to party, he must promptly and thor
oughly investigate the cipher teleg,ams in
the Florida election case, as translated and
published by the New York Tribune. Moth
ing less than this will satisfy public opinion.
The entire history OF corruption in politics
can show nothing equal to the depths reach
ed IN that matter, and unless MIR, Potter
and his colaborers probe it to the yerv hot.
tom the country will accept it as confessed
that what they wanted was not to uncover
fraud and expose the guilty, but to make
party capital This is now out of the nues,
ton. The best thing that can be done there.
fore, even from Mr.. Potter's partzan point
OF view, is to vigorously expose the whole
gang engaged in the disgraceful business. no

and those acting in his interest. thew are
past saving, no matter what NAV he done mr.

Masonic Brethren,
Citizens.
When the procession had arrived at the
bottom of the elevated lawn, on the hank
of the Potomac, where the family vault is
placed, the cavalry halted, the infantry
marched towards the Mount and formed
their lines-the Clergy, the Masonic BROTH
ers and the Citizens descended to the
Vanlt. and the funeral service of the
Church was performed. The firing was
repeated from the vessel in the river, and
the sounds echoed from the woods and hills
around.
Three general discharges by the infantry,
and cavalry, and forty pieces Of artillery,
which lined the banks Of the Potomac
back of the Vault, paid the last tribute to
the entombed Commander in Chief of the
Armies Of the United States and to the de-
parted Hero.
The sun was now setting. Alas! the SON
OF GLORY was set forever. No--the name
of WASHINGTON-the American Presi-
dent and General--will triumph over

President Vanderbilt on the State Of Trade.
Chicago June 26-William H. Vanderbilt, Pres.
ident of the New York Central Railway, contrib
utes communication to the Times on the present
railroad situation. He refers to the depression in
business, the great number Of bankrupt roads and
uncer tain future for all roads, unless there is q
change in the management, and faVors the pool
ing plan. He says superior natural advantages,
better management and greater volume Of bust.
ness will ecessary keep some solvent much lon'
ger than others, but every bankrupt line tends to
drag others down. Such q road pays nothing to
ockholders. II has no responsibility to owners,
patrons OF the public. II does business compare
lively faS nothing. Its property deteriOrates, and
the country through which 1t runs, Will, In the
end, experience the disastrous effects Of its care
lessness and irresponsibihU.
Ifsll the great trunk lines were brought to that
condition, not only would immense properties be
destroyed, but credit and trade be 30 psralyzed,
that every inte rest and the whole country would
be irreparably injured. The pool tries to avoid
this. The only danger that can be urged against
1t is that 1t may establish exorbltant prices but
this is impossible The public have become used
10 very low charges and will submit to no other.
The best skill, the most prudent management, the
II tmost good faith cannot provide more than bare
ly living prices The whole effort of the poel can
n OF raise or keep the rate OF transportation 70
figure so high, but what the mort rigid economy
and the ablest management will be required to
enable the companies TO live.
The rail roads now existing II crowded to their
fullest capacity, could do four timet the business
Of the country. If there were only two rates dur
ing the year, summer and winter one and all
shippers knew just what to expect, and were uni
formly dealt with 1t would add immeasurably to
the prosperity and stability Of our commerce. All
combin ations heretofore made based upon differ.
ent principles have been violated by the local
agents in their anxiety to secure business and
favor friends. Under the equitable distribution
of tonnage this becomes very difficult, and
greater sense of fairness ard security prevails l
believe that OF all the plansyet suggested or tried,
the division Of tonnage under the present system
produces the most satisfaction, and the most ben
tfCial results. If any other scheme will work
better, then l am in favor Of that. High rates in
the future are utterly impossible. The people are
safe from extortionate charges. Stability ofprces,
fair rates for transportation, eQuits BILE dealings
with shippers and general prosperity can only be
had through some form Of understanding em-
braced in what is generally styled "a pool"
