A truce in the railroad war between the
trunk lines to the West has been agreed upon
and increased freight rates went into effect
last Monday. The prime cause of hostilites,
the discrimination in rates for freight in ia
vor of Baltimore and Philadelphia and against
New York and Boston, is left to the consid-
Grafton of a commission, and the war is liable
to break out anew any day.

adapted 70 the tines. The speaker
made a good impression, We believe
made friends, and showed those that
were his friends that he was fully able
to sustain their cause.
kGeneral Bate spoke in eloquent
terms of the Democratic party, its
excellent aud tried principles, and
showed how the country had prospered
under its administrations. He dwelt
on the Importance of harmony in the
party in order to accomplish anything
good. He also gave a brief but lucid
explanation of its platform, which
must have been = tirely satisfactory
to every impartial hearer; and his
illusions to bosses, to bribers, to dis
t~ranchisers, to mo1opolists, and to the
belters from the late convention of the
united Democracy, were pointed and
withering in the extreme. The speech
was frequently lnterspersed, we will
not say interrupted, by rounds of APP
plause from the approving multitude,
The only trouble apparent was that
all could net get near enough to the
speaker to hear every word he said,
and the two hours speech ended
sooner than the people delired it to
end. Many said they could have lis
tened to such talk for half a day.

THE JETTTEs.
A Congressional Committee APP
pointed TO Report Upon All
Matters Connected Herewith.
Special to N. O. picayune.

W. &e1A
WASHINGTON, August 7.-While
the House Of Representatives was to-
day in a feeble and demoralized con-
ditiOn, waiting and praying to get
away, Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan,
jumped in a resolution, which he said
he was directed by the Committee Of
Appropriations to offer. The resolu-
ton provided for a select committee
of members to examine into the work
now in progress for improving the
Mississippi river, and also all matters
relating to the jetty aud outlet sys-
TENS, and to report at the next session.
Mr.. Burrows made a short speech
for the proposition, as did Mr.. Cox, Of
New York.
Mr.. Page, Chairman of the Com
merce Committee, accepted the propo-
sition, and the resolution was carried.
Among the members appointed on
the committee are Burrows of Michi-
gan, Cox of New York, Holman of
Indiana, Bntterworth of Cincinnati.
Carlisle of Kentucky and Ellis Of
Louisiana.
Burrows, Cox and Holman are not
regarded as friendly to the improve.
ment. Burrows is hardly more Sec
tional than Cox. The presence, how
ever, of Carlisle and Ellis on the
committee will be a check upon mis-
chief.
Holman is partial to John Cowdon
and his outlet scheme. The work,
however. has gone so far, and the com.
mission are so fully entrenched by law
and endowed with such a liberal
appropriation by the River and Harbor
Bill, that the committee, even if 80
disposed, can do nothing to arrest this
grand enterprise.
A prominent member stated to day
that he supposed that all the commit.
tee would do would be to make a trip,
md have "a good time" They cannot
set back the hands Of the clock or put
life into the putrid outlet scheme Of
Mr.. John Cowdon.

estate Credilv with a Vengeance

COurier-Journal 18th.
An alleged State credit organ pub
lished in Nashville, Tenn, is exhibit
ing a good deal of soreness because
the Courier journal takes a lively
interest in Tennessee politics.
The alleged State credit organ which
advocates the reputation Of forty
cents on the dollar of the whole public
debt of Tennessee is very averse, of
course, to any exposition of its incon-
sistency, either in Tennessee or out of
it, but we cannot help that. The
extreme sensitiveness of the Nashville
organ shows that we have punotured
it in a tender spot, but we cannot,
because Of the organs injured sensi-
bilities, refrain from expressing u
views on Tennessee's Kaleidoscope
politics and showing the absurdity of
che Fussellier's position. If State
credit" is maintained by repudiating
forty cents on the dollar, the next
plea of the Hawkins Russell combi-
nation will be that State credit
can be maintained by repudiating the
whole debt. That is where the Haw-
kins Russell arrangement is rapidly
leading the boilers.
The regular Democratic ticket in
Tennessee represents the will of the
people Of the State beyond doubt.
The people will to settle at SOB, pay
ing the State debt proper at par, and
they have been aware of no '"settle
ment'' of the debt heretofore. The
alleged State credit organ declares
that repudiating forty cents on the
dollar is not Reputation, yet that very
organ declared that the people Of
Minnesota hasely repudiated their
debt when they paid fifty cents on the
dollar. The organ was right; they did
repudiate halt the railroad bonds, and
it is also reputation for Tennessee to
pay anything short Of 100 cents.
1t is a curious kind Of morality
which teaches that q Reputation Of
forty cents is a supreme virtue and a
reputation Of fifty cents is a terrible
crime. That is the position Of the
Russelliers In the State of Tennessee.
We cannot "cStch on" to any such
proposition, and we advise all the
Democrats who have recently been
trapesing after the repudiator Haw-
kins to abandon such an uatspable
and illogical position and joln the
party in electing Bate and preventing
the Republicans from getting control
Of the State and repudiating the entire
debt-a proceeding which is perfectly
natural for them aud which is ineYi,

SENATOR sharon in his own Hotel


Two mining msgnates have almost
come to blows In the Palace Hotel.
They are Senator Sharon snd II, w.
Levy, President Of the Savage Mining
Company. The annual election of
the Savage was held, and Mr.. Sharon
Leyys interest. In the
eyening Levy visited the Palace Hotel
and there met Senator Sharon, and
the conversation was at first eemi,
sarcastic, but it broadened into the
forcible and eventusted in the ex-
change of fighting epithets. Mr..
Levy addressed several singing appel
%lstions to the toga-clad capitalist,
whose action be denounced as dishon-
est and treacher0us. DIR. Sharon re-
piled with appropriate yigor, and
wound up by ordering Mr.. Levy out Of
the hotel. Mr.. Levy declined to 60,
aDd, presuming on the public charac-
ter OF the establishment, declared his
intention TO remain, Then | will
have you elected, SIR shouted the
Senator, with an imperious wave of bis
hand toward the row of ebeny retain
ers, whose ewes we're rapidly getting as
large as their mouths. Several Of the
attaches moved toward Mr.. Levy, but
the formidable front shown by that
gentleman drove them back in dis
may. mo niger 10 this house is 60
ing to put his hand on me-" pro
claimed Mr. Levy. Then we shall
supply you with a white man" said
the Senator, who was white with rage
A burly night Waterman, in obedience
to the Senator'S mandate, seized Mr..
Levy by the shoulder and forced him
toward the corridor, when Dir. Hoaicf
and Mr.. Heating inteFfered and prom.
ised that Mr.. Levy would leave til,
hotel himself if permitted to do so
The Waterman released bis grip, bu
Mr.. Levy's indignation was boiling
and. instead Of fulfilling the promis,
of his friends, he turned on the Sen
ator once more. The Senator agaiI
issued his uksse, and despite thu
struggles of Dir. Levy and the indig
nant protestations of Mr. Hoficb, tn
President Of the Savage Mining Com
pany was elected.

About Sc, Zoo, 600 of the River and
Harbor Bill was for the improvement
of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
the main streams. This portion Of
the bill was just in every particular,
for the Mississippi and Missouri rivers
have heretofore, incomparably impor-
tant as they are as highways Of com
merce, been very greatly neglected.
The money will be properly discussed
nader the plans adopted by the Mis-
sissippi River Commission. Very
different is the nature OF the large ap
preparation for the Hudson river, sit
uated altogether in the State of New
York. and in no sense a national high
way. So inregard to the appropriations
for insignificant local streams, a ma
i0rity Of which represent iobbery OF
the worst kind. The New Workers
have been uDjustly drawing millions
every year for their local harbor i'm
provements, and have always opposed
appropriations for the Mississippi and
Ohio and Missouri rivers. This year
these national streams fare better.
They should have been referred to q
separate committee at the beginning
ofthe session instead Of being referred
70 the Commerce Committee.
