NEW YORK, July 26.-Henry San
ger, of this city, filed complaint to-
day in the United States circuit court
against the Canada Southern railway
company for the recovery of $2240,
unpaid interest on certain bonds. The

the Michigan Midland and Canada
railroad company executed bonds
with coupons for interest falling due
at the expiration of every six months
ending January 8, 1874, until MATURE
ty on bonds, and alleges that the presi-
dent and secretary of the Canada,
Southern railroad executed and
guaranteed to pay the principal and
interest of these bonds. Defendant
alleges he presented these bonds to
the Michigan Midland and Canada
railroad, but they refused to pay the
interest, whereupon they were pre-
sented to defendant, who also refused
to pay.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The joint
executive committee of passenger de-
partments of the trunk lines met
again to-day in Commissioner Fink's
Office. The claim made by the Lake
Erie and Western for money reim-
bursement for losses sustained bv
that road in maintaining it's rates
under the rule established at the
recent Chicago meeting, under penalty
of being excluded from participation
in through westbound business of the
trunk lines, thus being prevented
from meeting the reduced rates of
the various competitors who were not
members of the pool, and didn't there
fore come under the rule, and in con-
sequence lost large amount of bust
ness that it claimed legitimat' ly be-
longed to it, was finally decided after
heated discussion, that the Lake
Erie and Western should file its claim
and that it should receive proper con-
sideration. Complaints were made
against the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago, and the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio roads, that
they were cutting rates in violation
of the Chicago rule. The first named
road gave satisfactory explanation
to the committee and the charge was
dismissed. The case of the latter is
still under consideration.

threA-fourths of mile, rowed over

winner. Few even bets on the result
between Hosmer and Lee. The
start was made at 56seconds past and
all took the water together. Ilanlon
and Lee pulled "a and lIosmer 81
strokes. The boats kept even the first
half mile, but llanlon then drew
ahead, Hosmer a triie the best of Lee.
Hanlon turned the stake in 4
minutes, Hosmer 10 seconds later, and
Lee 5 seconds behind. Back to the
start Hanlon drew well to the front
of Hosmer and Lee. between whom
was the finest struggle. From the
start Hanlon slowed pand the others
gained on him. Hanlon turned the
starting point in 80. Hosmer and
Lee turned together. Hanlon soon
stopped rowing and took a drink Of
water from his hand.

THE FoRTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.

Mr. Chas A. Dana, OF the New York Sun,
is not, as general thing, denied the respect
which his talents and independence of ex-
preston entities him to receive. Mr. Dana's
Sun has a large circulation. and makes
money for its owner. But the Sun is
not infallible; it is liable to make
mistakes. It's frailties may not be
as conspicuous as appear in some Of its con.
temporaries, but it has, nevertheless. its i'm
projections. The Sun, in giving its reasons
as to why Democrats were sent to Congress
in number sufficient to control the House.
remarks that "the Democratic majority in
the House exists for a definite purpose,
and that purpose has nothing to do
with the tariff " The San further
says: lit was not change
in the tariff, but change from dishonest,
extravaganza and incapable government to
honest, economical and efficient govern
ment, that the voters wanted in 1882. ''Evi-
IDENTIFY. Mr. Dana has got things sadly mixed
in his mind. The arrangement OF facts are
OF the style of putting the cart before the
horse. Another paragraph will further in
dictate the muddled condition of Mr.. Dana's
intellectual faculties. He says the Demo
cratic majority was elected, not to tinker
with the tariff but, so far as lies in its prov
ince, to give the country honest government.
Its duty will be to avoid extravagant apsro-
priations and jobs, TO expose abuses and
to remedy them, to deal prudently with al!
the public questions that come before il. 1t
must stick to its proper wsrk, and do that
work as economically and as well as it can"
The tariff as it stands, is not honest
government, it is dishonest government, an
iniquitous government traud-patronizing
government, a monoRoly-building and nurs-
ing government. and hence if the Democrat
ic majority was elected to give the country
an honest government, about the first thing
to do is to eliminate from the Republican
monopoly-swindling tariff, its iniquities.
Mr.. Dana ought to be able to see and coal-
prehend the force of this proposition. The
Government has been engaged in taxing the
people one way and another, to an extent
that has burdened the treasury with sur
plus revenue of more than Si00.000,0 n0 "A
year. Every dollar of the vast sum not re-
quired for an economical administration of
the Government has been wrongfully taken
from the pockets Of the people. To get rid of

ing the passage in the House of iudicious

be treasured by the prompt passage of such
bill. 1t may interfere somewhat With the
