FREIGHTS AND FARES.
The Transportation Problem In
New YOrk-An Important Move.

New YORK, August 9-At a meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce to day delegates
were appointed to attend the Transportation
Conference, to be held at Utica on the ~ h
instant. The call was signed by many promi-
nent farmers throughout the State to con-
slider whether our government is to continue
government Of the people, for the people,
by the people, or whether 1t is to be ga GOV
ernment of corporations, by corporations,
for the benefit OF the favored few"
The special committee on railroad trans
pOrtation submitted report on the changes
which have recently taken place in freight
and passenger rates, and passed a resolu-
tiOn asking the managers Of the trunk lines
for a general reduction in west bound
open rates, and declaring that the only dis
elimination justiiabe in the report of COM
mon carrier, either as regards persons or
places, is that based upon ''c0st of service, !"
and upon this basis asking the trunk lines
to make a thorough examination, and, If
borne out by the facts, to join in equal with
all other seaboard cities and to remember
their oft repeated assertion that the amount
of watered stock has nothing to do with the
cost of transportation.
They also deprecate the practice OF
making excessively low rates during the
season OF navigation and invariably higher
rates during the winter months. That this
is not only discriminating against the State,
which, as the owner of the canals, cannot
afford to permit this practice,
but it is also detrimental to the best interests
of commerce generally. Another res olution
declares that reasonably uniform and public
rates of freight will best serve the interests
Of both public and railroads. That 1--WE
willingly concede rates which will pay lib
eral dividends upon the actual cost of con-
struction of these modern highways, but
that stock watering is a crime against the
public which should be prohibited by severe
penalties"

HOratiO Seymour on the Political
Situation

Interviewed for the Chicago Times.
81 do not think that the attack on the
President has made any change in poll
tical feelings, except, perhaps, to soften
them. Ii has without doubt made with
Democrats a more kindly feeling toward
the President. What the future may be
no one can fOresee. If, in case of his
restoration to health, President Garfield
should show a strong partisan feeling it
would make a reaction against him. EX-
IRENE partisanship would be felt to be an
ungrateful return for the interest shown
by a parties and all sections in his re-
cOvery. do not think that the ques-
tiOn of administrative arrangement has
occupied much of the public mind, nor
do think that il has brought any we'll
worked plan for guarding against this
danger TO the public from the attempts
to murder officials. The perils which
surround high positions may tend to
check ambition to hold them, and to
sober the passions for place and power.
Ii is hard to fOresee the effects OF
the Albany contest upon the action
of parties. These are so frequently
modified by casual events that 1t is diff
cult to forecast the effect of any partlcu
lar action. 1t has encouraged the Demo-
cratic party, because it has not been
drawn into the contest or made TespOn
sible for any of the acts of the Legisla-
tuTe that have offended do not think
that there are any indications of any great
modification in political parties
The correspondent adds: "GOv. Sey-
mOur's personal relations to ex Senator
Conkling are of such a character that he
will not speak or permit any opinion of
his on that gentleman to be published. "
