Something That Beats Anything Ever
Charged Against the Baltimore d Ohio
Railroad.
From the examination OF President
Vanderbilt before the investigating com.
mlttee Of the New York Legislature we
extract the following questions and an
swers from last fridays proceedings.
They are well worth reading as showing
how great a Know Nothing the President
Of a great railroad can be; and also as
showing how much worse a condition Of
things exists on the New York Central
Railroad than was ever charged against
the Baltimore & Ohio by Col. JOhnsOn's
committee. We quote as follows:
VIM. H. Vanderbilt's examination was
then resumed by Mr.. Sterne.
Mr.. Sterne drew Mr.. Vanderbilt's atten-
ton 10 his Chicago letter of June, 1873,
and asked the following question: I'm
that letter you say that rates should be
fixed and permanent, and that all custom.
ers should be treated alike; is that your
opinion now?" A. eyes; and 1t has al.
ways been so. ever since / was a railway
manager"
He was asked whether he believed in the
principle that special rates were bad, and
whether he acquiesced in the principle
adopted now by the trunk lines to give up
special rates. He answered that he did;
that he thought that shippers should be
treated alike.
Hewas hercupon asked why he did not
apply that principle as to his local traffic?
whether he knew that there were upwards
Of six thousand cases OF special contracts
shown before the committee to exist
within a period Of eight montha. Mr..
Vanderbilt answered that he did not know

Mr.. VANDERBILT As A FARMER,

Mr.. Vanderbilt was then questioned
upon the Determinations against citizens
Of our own State in favor OF citizens OF
other States. He was asked whether the
fact OF his carrying freight at lower rates
from Chicago to New York did not result
in subjeCting the farm produce of our own
State to a ruinous discrimination. He said
he did not know whether it did or not:
that the farmers had to adapt themselves
to changing circumstances. He said he
was a farmer, and had been so for % years,
and had q farm on Staten Island, for
which he paid $3.50 an acre, and would
now sell it for 500.
Mr.. Sterne asked, What do you pro.
duce on that farm?'
ave have fever and ague there; good
for nothing except that" He admitted
that the millers of Rochester expostulated
against the ruinous discrimination that
existed against them, but stated that he
submitted the question to Mr.. Clark, the
General Freight Agent, and asked him
about it, and Mr.. Clark thereupon stated
that negotiations were pending for the
purpose Of giving them some relief, and
had been pending for some years, but that
no conclusion had yet been arrived at.

? LOCAL AND THROUGH TRAFFIC..

~ LOCAL AND THROUGH TRAFFIC.
The most suggestive and interesting
part OF the examination was upon the
question OF the relative cost and profit OF
local and through traffic, and an amazing
want OF information was displayed by the
Railway King OF the United States.
@. Have you any idea as to whether
your through business paid you last year
on the whole.ot the traffic? A. No doubt
but what It did.
@. What per centage2 A. l don't know.
@. Did 1t pay you eight per cent divi.
dend? A. We made our dividends, GER
tatnly.
or on through? A. Earned 1t on the
whole.
q. Can you tell how much you earned
on the local traffic and how much on the
through? A. No.
@. Can you tell whether you earned
seven per cent on the local and one pei
cent on the through? A. l cannot.
Q. Can you tell whether you lost any
money on the through and made 1t up on
the local? A. No.
Q. Have you any means OF ascertain
q. You cannot tell this Committee
whether you did not recoup yourself FOL
your loss on the through traffic by charges
on the local traffic? a.. No.

Mr.. Cassatts testimony given in Pennsyl

Cassatt; that he was the Third Vice.Presi

He was then asked whether he thought
it would be right that business should be
done dependent upon a freight rate which
was in Mr.. Goodman's head, which could
vary, as 1t appears in Syracuse, from nine
cents to thirty.eight. he said he thought

THE FoRTYsIxyH CONGRESS-

The meeting of the Forty-sixth Con-
gress, March 1S, marked the beginning
of a new era of political excitement.
For the first time since 1860 the Demo
Gratis have majority in both houses.
In view of the peculiar circumstances
under which Congress will meet, and in
view of the important questions that
must necessarily come before both
houses at once, the character and
political bias of the members becomes a
matter OF special and peculiar interest.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that of
the new Senators, Houston, of Alabama,
served several terms in Congress before
the war, was Union Democrat during
the war, and served two terms as Gov
ern or after thewar. He is now sixty
eight years of age, and is pronounced a
man of ability. Walker, of Arkansas
was Confederate officer, and is Demo
crat Of the Southern school. Farley, Of
California, is a native of Virginia, was 9
Whig in 1852, Know-Nothing in 1854

A Fable for "the Cultured. y

There was once good little boy who
was sent by his mother to the bakery
on a Sunday morning for the weekly
pot of beans. The sidewalk was slip
perry, the bean-pot was slippery, and, as
the good little boy wore nothing but
slippers on his feet, it is not at all sur
prising that he fell down, broke the
bean-pot, and anointed the sidewalk
with his mothers breakfast While he
was weeping over his misfortune, bad
little boy, whose mother had also sent
him to the bakery for her weekly pot Of
beans, coming along, laughed and
mocked exceedingly at the poor boys
sorrow. Now, while he was yet thus
mocking and laughing, man running
for a doctor knocked the bean-pot from
the bad little boys hands, breaking it
into pieces and spreading its savory
contents over the sidewalk, whereupon
his laughter was changed to weeping,
and he lifted up his voice and mourned
vociferously. Moral: Never pork fun
at the unfortunate, for you never know
how soon you may bean trouble your.
