FREIGHT RATES AND THE STANDARD OIL
coMPANYs BUSINESS.
The Assembly Committee yesterday morning. in
the General Term room of the Supreme Court.
sumed their investigation of the management OF
railroads in this State. which had been interrupted
by the election. Politically regarded the committee
have been very fortunate. five out Of the nine
bers having been elected to various offices. OF
their number. Mr.. wadsworth, being the future
State Comptroller. They have settled down to
apparently interminable iabors; but it is rumored
that investigation is drawing to Close and that
it will not last more than week or two longer.
Pretty much the same personnel OF the committee
appeared yesterday at their former sessions. Mr..
A. b. Hepburn occupied the chair. and the Erie Rail-
road was defended by ex-Judge shipman. Mr.. Simon
Sterne examined the witnesses behalf OF the peo
pie. The day was taken up with the testimony Of
Mr. G. II. Blanchard for the defence and Mr.. simon
Bernheimer for the people. the latter testiryng to
the Standard Oil monopoly and the former going
over some points omitted from his previous testi
mopy.
RAILROAD WARS AND FINANCES.
The committee met promptly at eleven o'clock
and first occupied themselves with receiving and
examining documents presented to them by ex-
Judge Shipman Many of these documents con-
tanned information that had been asked for by the
committee at their previous session and much Of it
supplementary to the former testimony and ex-
planatory Of it. During the explanations by counsel
Mr.. Sterne remarked that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad owned through limo to Chicago. Mr.
Blanchard denied this saying that section of the
line. 1877 miles long. not owned by that company
Mr. George l.. Blanchard. general manager Of the
Erie Railroad. then took the stand. and cross
examined by Mr.. Sterne to the nancial condition
several railroads. Witness gave the history Of the
freight and passenger rate troubles between the rail-
roads. which grew out of the demands made in 1874
by the Batimo and Ohio road to obtain admission
to New York, with the right Of fixing its own rates
between New York and Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Philadelphia and Baltimore and New York, without
reference to the rates made by the Pennsylvana and
Camden and Amboy roads. When these demands were
refused the baltimore and Ohio began railroad war
by making rates their outside lines and through
the canals. Mr.. Blanchard then recounted the his
tory of the railroad war of 1876 He next handed in
the following statement of freight shipped on
through bills of lading from Chicago to Europe from
1871 to 1878. inclusive. and shipments Of grain in

TROUBLE OF THE NEW ORLEANS BANKS.
st. Louis, March 20.-The news of the
suspension Of the banks at New Orleans had
comparatively little effect on change here
other than in the southern jobbine trade,

the belief that monetary affairs at New Or.
leans, and adjacent towns, which do their
business through New Orleans banks, would
be at least temporarily disturbed. The gen.
eral business of this city and the banks
here will not be affected to any appreciable
extent.
