Eastern Freight Rates.


The new cotton freight tariff, on a
basis of seventy-two cents per cwt. TO
New York, an advance of fifteen cents
per cwt., went into effect here last
Friday. The cotton movement so far
has been too limited to be affected BY
1t, nor will exchange on the East vary
until the staple comes into market at
the rate of 500 or more bales per day.
The movement is gradually increasing,
however, at the seaports, and ten days
since foreign exchange at New York
was reduced half a cent, sixty day
billsbeing 81 IS and demand 81 SO. A
letter from New York to The Phila
delphia Ledger makes the followh
comments on the new freight rates:
The advance on cotton rates that
has been announced by the Southern
railway freight agents is provoking
some sharp commentaries from the
trade at the Cotton Exchange and else.
where in the belief that the new
schedule discriminates severely against
this port. A leading cotton receiver
seys the increase is fully twenty per
cent over the rates Of last season, In
many instances the stable will ind
other outlets than New FORK, to the
benefit OF other markets. With tie
vast business now transacted at New
Orleans and other Southern ports.
these will be able to compete with us
the fall trade; cotton will find its
way to New Orleans and Galveston
and thence to Europe. The low rates
on the Mississippi water route will
pIeve a formidable drawback TO the
railroads, and, as far as the Sou Invest
IS concerned, New Orleans will rear
the most benefit. The Memphis rates
show how the thing is going to work.
We eau ship from there by boat at a
per bale, while rail rates, as now
are 81 per bale to New Yotk. a
dltfei enee of So. AT the same time
ocean freight FROM New Orleans to
is but 81 to 81 80 more than
that to New York. Under these cir.
cumstances.it will be 10 the interest of
shippers to do business by way Of
New Orleans, eue TO that extent there
is a fragrant discrimination AGAINST tbe
commerce Of this port" v hat they
propose to do about it, however, does
not appear.

assertion that be had addressed mobs

apology for any offense he might have
given. He was then allowed to pro.

ENORMOUS S~ALARIET.

1AAsNAbf -
A remark, BILE Siar Route f,aud has
Just come to our noeice. There is in
Hawkins county a little p~ostofice
known as Whitehorn, two and a half
miles from the Rogecsville aud Jefer-
sou railroad. The postmaster is
Squire Joseph jenkins and he carries
the mail twice a day to and f.om the
railroad. He thus walks six miles a
day. or 1873 miles a year carrying the
mails, besides performing his duties
as postmaster. He is about sixtv
years old and has been postmaster aud
mail carrier at Whitehorn for about
thirteen years. Up to about a ear
ago he received a SALARY of twelve dol
lars a year. Since tneu, under the
new law, he re, civ sixty per cent on
the value Of the S. mps he cancels.
This has cut bis S lalJ down to about
seven dollars per year. In all the
thirteen years Squire Jeokius has
missed only two days carrying the
mails to and rom his Office, aud those
two days were when he was summoned
to attend court at Rogersville.
Squire jenkins was also a Justice
OF the Peace for six " ars, but was
defeated at the last election. His fees
as justice annually amounted to about
five dollars. Probably the money was
used to defeat him as the fees Of bis
Office we're no doubt an incentive to
his opponent whose avarice made him
ssrain every nerve to defeat Squire
jenkins. We learn that jenkins is
now threatened with the losI Of the
postofice if he does not contribute
literally to the fnnd which is being
raised to elect Peteibone. Hubbeli
has already assessed him, but the
Squire having a wife and twelve mar.
ried children does not feel able to
ante-up every time. II jenkins was
postmaster in Houk's districthe would
be ousted instanter.

No State in our Union occupies a
