Special Dispatch &c The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va. November 21.-The
injunction proceedings which were en-
tered several months ago in the United
States circuit court for the eastern district
of Virginia before Judge Hughes to restrain
the Southern Railway Company and other
members Of the Southern States Freight
Association and the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad Company from cutting rates have
been abandoned by the Mercantile Trust
and Deposit and the Baltimore Trust and
Guarantee companies of Baltimore Nd,
the compliments in the case.
Similar action has also, IT is said, been
taken, or is about to be taken, with refer
ence to similar suit against the same
parties by some Georgia merchants in the
United States circuit court for the northern
district OF that state, and the papers in
which case were transferred by argume ut
to the United States court at New Orleans,
and 1t is thought by some of those best in
formed on the subject that within the nc XII
few days the rate war between the Sea-
board and Southern, which ragged with such
intense fury during the months of July,
August and September last, will break out
with renewed ferocity, and that the battle
will be Fought with a ferocity on both sides
compared with which the fight of last SIM
mer and the early fall was little more than

JAPAN'S COMMERCIAL ZEAL.

Japan is indeed getting on. Her commercial
ENTERPRISE is now no less remarkable than was
her military prowess a couple of years ago.
She is extending trade routes to every quarter
of the globe and planting trading houses In
every market town. Her own steamship lines
are rapidly connecting her with all the chief
ports, not only Of Asia, but Of Australia, Eu-
rome and America as well. One Of her great
companics has already arranged for line or
passenger and freight steamships 10 one OF our
Pacific ports. and another Is in the act of doing
the same These will have fleets of a score or
more shps each, rivalling in size. speed and
equipment those of the great Atlantic lines
They will vastly increase trade ard travel be-
tween japan and the United States, to the adj
vantage Of both countries. From that point OF
view they are to be welcomed, as well as from
this other, that Americans are generously glad
TO see the progress and prosperity of the Sun
rise Land.
It IS however, a curious and not altogether
satisfactory or pride-insplring commentary
upon American enterprise that the establish
ment Of these lines should be left to Japan. The
usual and proper rule IS that commerce between
two nations should be chiefly In the hands oil
the one which is the elder or more advanced IN

not do. OF course, to liken Japan 10 these She
is properly to be ranked among the enlightened
Powers in many RESPECTS the peer Of the fore
most of them. Yet. considering that only gen
Grafton has passed since she was Opened "a
the world, and that by this very country, II does
seem strange that she should already be taking
the initiative In promoting commerce, that hcl
ships should come hither instead OF our ships
going thither, and that Japanese trading houses
should be opened here instead OF American
houses there.
This is very creditable to Japan. 1t Is not
credltablc to the United States. We have long
becn accustomed TO seeing the British and
French and German flags supreme In Atlantic
commerce. to seeing the South American trade
largely In European hands. and to having to

manifestation Of public indifference toward the

of converting him during the first few weeks

from the cable dispatches of our London CORE

at so cheap a figure as some other cities not dis
tant from It, but the taxpayers should remember
that the companies putting down asphalt here
are required TO guarantee 1t for fifteen years
and keep It in good condition for that time
There is a great deal Of difference between a
guarantee for fifteen years and guarantee for
five years. such as is given elsewhere There Is
no reason why New-York should pay more than
other cities for the same material put down In
the same way. and there Is no cause to think
that It is doing when the facts are fairly
