clippers VS.. EseiirOsds.
NEW YORK, Nov. ia writer
in the Comm aerciat Bulletin on the
war of the railroads on Californis
clippers says: 1t ls we'll under
stood that the railroads have eX
tended their contracts till the first
of January in hope of keeping all
that they had last year, and Of
whipping in those that still held
out; but they are counting without
their host. For many who con-
tracted last year are now availing
themselves of the Inducements put
out by the clippers, understanding
full well that the lower the
railroads contract with some
the lower the clipper rates will go.
For it may as well be understood
first as last that as long as grain
grows in California and Oregon so
long will ships go there for it, and
if rates are low at this end they
are sure to be higher at the other.

NEW YORK, Nov. T.-Withir
the past day or two several journals
have had articles giving the views
of prominent Southerners on the
} political situation which has de-
veloped since the recent Northern
elections. The burden of these
views is that Grant is becoming
more popular in the South, where
, he is always respected as Genera
