NEW YORK, April pa truce has been
signed by the warning members of the
Southwestern Railroad Association. The
Chicago d Alton and Wabash, st. Louis
& Pacific Railroad Companies have with
drawn their notices Of appeal for change
in the division of the Missouri River bust
ness, percentage fixed in December by ar
bitration, and the withdrawal of the ap-
peals leaves the Southwestern agreement to
stand on the basis then made
Under the agreement basis both east and
west bound freight was to be divided into
tons, and any railroad doing more than its
share of business was to pay over to the
pool the entire amount of the excess. The
division of traffic was: To the Missouri Pa
ciic, AN per cent; to the Wabash, 29%
per cent, and to the Chicago & Alton, 2SB
per cent. From this division the
last two named. Companies appealed,
and in consideration Of their submission to
the distribution the Missouri Pacific Com

Tell me your woesv'-a dismal sigh,

"From her you neither clothed or fed;
How can you answer for such SIM"

His fatal abacus he bore;
Aid then, as dif'rent moods prevailed
Alternately he sang or walled,

The Mixed Electoral Ticket and the
Cause Of REIMBURSEMENT.

Editor of the Portsmouth Times:
I am Readjuster, and I want to see
the move ment for readjustment fully
carried out to the end of its original and
legitimate mission.
To merge the cause of readjustment
in q mixed electoral ticket for the presi-
Dental election is, in my judgment, not
only to risk that cause, but to ruin it.
There are thousands of true and tried
Readjusters in every section of Virginia
who cannot be brought to vote, either
directly or indirectly, for the Radical
candidate for the presidency, no matter
whom he may be. They espoused the
great principles of readjustment with
no such purpose as going over to the
camp of the Republicans. They indig
nantly repealed the aspersion of such
apostacy last fall, and they Indignantly
repel it still.
The Readjusters' party is essentially
the party of the people. The Republic
can party is essentially the party of the
monopolists and the money-kings. and,
from the standpoint of my observation,
the Readjuster who sustains the Repub.
lican candidate for President will give
up the cause of the people in Virginia,
and take to his bosom the cause of the
capitalists in the North. The truest
Readjuster is he who sticks closest to
the principles of REIMBURSEMENT.
If the mixed electoral ticket is pre-
sented to the people of Virginia. can
not see how it can fail to be OverwheIm-
ingly defeated. It can't stand discus
sion, and am satisfied it will be blown
away in the presidential storm like Cos
samer. If this be true, where then will
be that cause of readjustment now 80
triumphant in Virginia? 1t will be
gone, and gone forever, with the Fun
ders once more in full sway in our State.
Readjustment has strength enough to
stand on it's own bottom. It has not
enough to take Radicalism upon its
shoulders.
A BONA-FIDE READJUSTER.
