NEW YORK.


NEw YoRK, October 2s.-The Post says:
ave yesterday noted a rumor of the har-
mOnizing of the hitherto conflicting inter.
ests Of the Vanderbilt system of roads
and the managers of the newly organized
Wabash system. We efnd that an arrange
ment is nearly perfected, II not already
80, which on the one hand will secure to
the New York Central and Lake Shore all
the business, or the bulk OF It, which the
Wabash system Of roads can collect and
bring to Toledo, and on tho other hand
will secure to the Wabash and connec-
tons all the southwestern business Of the
Vanderbilt roads. The Erie will certainly
profit by the advanced rates which this
arrangement will secure"

Please tlo me the kindness to insert the
following paragraph in your next issue,
rs tho Register OF to-day contains state
mcnt which will undoubtedly create an err
roneous impression In this community re-
garding my case. This is what it has TO
say about the matter:
"He (Strauder) asked, after conviction,
for q removal OF his case to the United
States Court for q new trial, on the ground,
chiefly, that he is entitled, under tho laws
ot the United States, TO trial bya jury
composed, at least In part, OF persons Of
his own color, which In theStrial in our
State court lie did not have, and cannot
have under the laws Of West Virginia"
The above Is wholly incorrect, and to
substautiate what assert, will produce
the date OF the application for the removal
Of the cause. The first trial was as iol.

FRGoItT SntrMRSrs.-one can hardly
have any adequate idea Of the magnitude
Of the freight operations in the two depots
In this city at this time, The
receiving platforms are crowded with
all kinds Of freight from early In the
morning until the latest hour ot re-

this paper In the course oil few moments
conversation with Mr.. ]. n. Belleyille yes-
terday evening asked him as to the bnSi-
ness that his company (the P. W. &K.)
was doing. "Well, was his reply, 'tyou see
that platform, referring US TO The receive
ing platform Of his company and which
was crowded with freight for shipmont.
that is our present, and has been our bis'
tory Tor weeks back. We, in short, have
really more than we care TO do, and as.
sure sure you are not soliciting any freight.
OUR capacity Is taxed Just now and there
is no apparent abatement in demands for
facilities for shipments by shippers. Oh,
we are getting along finely" he called out
Proceeding across the street, we encoun.

port was equally voluminous and little

This is certainly not merely local
freight, Is 1t Mr.. Wells7" was our query.
No sir, not by any means. The desti.
nation OF some Of this freight is beyond
the Atlantic. Some OF t-Rlassware-is
being sent to the German States by tho
Central Glass Company; and by the way
their company is doing considerable shin.
ping in that direction at present. You
have no idea Of the rush OF our business
at present. I have not been at home

IN ireights has been going on
now for weeks and no apparent signs Of
"letup" as yet. Our grain traffic from tho
West to Baltimore, at Locust Point,
ls almost incredible in grain, and al
this city We have received orders 10

shipments are taking place daily to all
