IT is stated that the Vanderbilt roads
are again moving in the much discussed
question of the differential rates on
East bound freight traffic which gives
to Baltimore and Philadelphia a lower
rate than New York. 1, is claimed
that Vanderbilt is SO dissatisfied with
this arrangement and the discrimination
there created against New York that he
will begin to combat it. a proceeding
which would probably bring about a
disruption Of the present pool aud cause
another aggressive railway war.

TAE movement i'll Congress looking
to the suppression OF the noble game Of
draw-poker in the army. has excited the
alarm and indignation Of the TIHes-
ReUi>ir to such an extent that the Major
just bubbles up aud slops over thus en-
ergetically:
I'VE most solcmnly and earnestly
protest, in the name Of the American
people, againt this outrageous, tyranical
and most unwarrantable usurpation Of
power upon the part Of our national
Legislature. Such interference is in di-
rect violation Of the Constitution and
e~utugonistic to every priciple of a Re-
publican form of government. That
Congress has the right to regulate and
modify the game perhaps none will
deny, and an Act dlscarding the deuces
and treys and compelling the drawing
to tlushes and strnights would be emil
nently wise, Just and proper. 1t would
n~ationnlize its rules, which are Mt pre-
ept rather iuconGruous and conflicting
make the game more lively and inter.
esting and consequently more attractive
to the people of other nations. But to
abolish ii altogether in one OF
u national departments would be
like tabooing roast beef and plum pud.
ding in Old England. 1t would be the
entering wedge to the destruction OF
one o! onr most cherished institutions,
and the Inauguration of n system oil
legislation which would inevitably result
in political chAos and tho downfall oil
the American Republic"
