The Beredd of Thursday, speaking of
the action of the Chamber of Commerce
drawing the attention of the presidents
of the New York Central and Erie roads
to the neoesaity of some congressional
action to regulate traffic on the great
through railway I ines, leaves no doubt
that this action was fully concurred
in by these two railways themselves
The developments made in the recent in
vestigation at Albany before a commit
tee of the New York Legislature, the
Esrald says, were sufficient to intensify
popular discontent and to inflame it to
indignation. The time has coma for a
thorough and comprehensive reorganisa
tion of the railroad service; and in view
of the diversity and confliot of interests
which exists among the different roads
Congress cannot much longer postpone
tho duty incumbent upon it under its
constitutional authority to “regulate
commerce between the States.'
While the attempts to reduce local
rates to the same prioe as through rates
is absurd, injurious discriminations made
in local rates and between different par
ties must be prohibited and the roads
themselves must be rescued from their
destructive and cut-throat rivalry.

The attempts to agree among them
selves end in nothing substantial. All
such agreements are soon rendered nu
gatory by bad faith and underhand cut
ting of rates agreed on. The Herald
■aye that recently these failures to regu-
late freights by Joint notion have led the
roads to try a new experiment. They
have Jointly appointed a commission of
arbitration, consisting of experts, who
are to study railroad questions and ad jo
flats differences which may arise be
tween the roads. The gentlemen selec
ted are Charles Frauds Adams, Jr., Da
vid A. Wells and John A. Wright, who
are to reosiTe liberal salaries and sur
render their time to the subjeots which
may from time to time be snbmitted to
them. It to understood that in contro
versies between -.*10 roads their decisions
are to bo fine’.
This arrangement points in the right
direotion, and it is very well so fares it
goes. But how are these experts to en
force their awards? If the roaca should
prove as faithless to this engagement as
they have been to their compacts on the
sabjecs of freights it is difficult to see
how, in the absence of law, they can have
any remedy against one another. The
idea of a commission is excellent; bnt it
should be a commission created by the
law and clothed with authority. In En
gland there is such a commission appoint
ed by the government and invested with
adequate powers to make its action and
its decisions legally binding—a commis
sion which not merely protects the rail
roads against each other, bu6 proteots
the public against unjust discriminations
by tbe roads. We believe tbe time has
come when Congress must take this sub-
ject in hand in a spirit of equity towards
all parties conoerned.

a little while over two months. The line
was directly through parts of Indiana,and

there was bnt one offioe between mineand

at Cowans called the train dispatcher ana

with 140 pounds of steam and gone east
while the fireman had gone to lunch; and
the engineer, who was oiling around, had
no time to get on. All was still as death

to call G—, the only office between mine

called him, using the signal ‘23,
whioh means death, but still no

in a dazed, hurried manner, and when
asked about the engine, said it had pass

The resumption act passed in 1875, pro
vided that “on and after the first day of
January anno dominl, 1879 the Secretory of
the Treasury shall redeem in coin the U. B.
legal tender note*, then outstanding, on
‘.heir presentation for reduction at theeffioe
of the assistant treasurer of tho United
Bute, in the city of New Fork, in sums of
not less than fifty dollars.” Heretofore the
Treasury department has confined itself to
uo oocu-u 6 y. „* b-m for legal tenders at
New Fork. Toiswas done as • n f
precaution, tho gold being accumulated at
New Fork, and it not being deemed safe
to distribute the amount on hand around the
country. Since reanmption on the first of
last January, the Treasury through the of
fice at New Fork, has been called npon to
redeem, in gold, about ten millions of legal
tenders. On the other hand, the accumu
lation of gold has increased in the Treasury
to between fifteen and twenty millions.
Most of this increase repreaents foreign
gold sent over in payment for American ex
ports. The amount of gold ooin and bullion
on hand January 1st, was 3135.382,633 42.
In view of the large increaeo of the gold
fund and tho aocumclation of the coin in the
Treasury, the department wilt soon make
arrangements to exehaogs gold and silver
for United 8tates notea at tha sub treasuries
where convenient. This will complete re
sumption. As far aa any demand for gold
is concerned, reanmption seoma to be suffi

ing and affecting. But a fearful ship
wreck off Plymouth harbor, several years
since, forms the climax to his nautical
career. He was returning from Smyrna
in tho b|jg Alms, with a cargo of
dried fig*, and when within a few
hours _ of port went ashore in a
gale in t s .e month cf January,
near Plymouth. The ship waa broken in
two by tbe violence of the waves, but he
and nino of the crow lashed themselves
to the. rigging of tho mizen mast and
bang on for dear life. Tho weather was
fearfully cold, and for ten hours the poor
fellows were exposed to a pitiless rain
Btorm. Gradually, the water from the
clouds and the 6alt epray formed a per
fect armor of ico within whose frigid
embrace they were enwrapped. Several of
them relaxed their hold and fell into
theses, literally frozen to death. The
others, by superhuman exertions, pre
served their vitality until rescued, after
many abortive attempts, by tho life boat
of a neighboring station,the gallant crew
of whioh received a reward of twenty dol

A Tonic Han Obtains ■ Bncsr and
Harness on Fargcd Papar,
Yesterday an interesting ease came np
before Magistrate Freeman and attract
ed considerable interest as it involved a
young man of good standing in Jones
oonnty. by tbe name of Middleton, in a
very questionable transaction, and for
which be will probably have to answer
before the conrtB of the oounty.
Yesterday the yonng man was arrested
by Depnty Sheriff G. S. Vfescott, on a
warrant taken out by Messes. R. H. May
& Co. The warrant charged cheutieg
and swindling: on tho part of the defen
dant He wae taken before Magistrate
Freeman, and the evidence developed a
strong case ol forgery.
Some weeks sinoe a young man from
Joses oonnty oame to the city, visited R.
H. May & Co.’s establishme o-
posed to bny a baggy and harness on
time. He gave his name as Johnson.
The firm informed him he wonld have to
furnish seenrity as he was a Btranger
He consented, and proposed as his en
dorser Mr. Radford Turner. This was
aocepted, and a note prepared and given
him for the signature. Abont three
weeks later he returned, and stated that
that he had lost the original
note, and another was furnished him. A
week ago he retained with the seoond
note signed, and took away the baggy
and harness.
Tho firm bad some of tho wiiting of
Mr. Tarner in the etore and compared
the slgnatnre. A difference was peroep.
tibia and Johnson’s attention oalled to
the faot. He explained that Mr. Tarner
was siok and his overseer signed for him
in his piesenoe and with his consent.
Being still unsatisfied, the firm sent over
to Mr. Tamer in Jones oonnty and were
infoimed that he had no knowledge of
tbe note whatever.
Mr. Iverson Harris, one of the sales
men of the establishment,was sent to
*■* cnnntv and fonnd the buggy hid
away in the woods, in rue pusnoetra Vt
Mr. Middlebrooks,instead of Johnson,the
name whioh he bore when the baggy was
obtained. He subsequently owned np to
tho entire transaction and said in re
sponse to a question that he “does not
know why ho did it, except that he
wanted a buggy and thought his fath
er’s crop wonld oomo in and hs would
take up the note before it was due.”
The affair is an unfortunate one for the
yonng man, and we hope circumstances
will relieve the hard lines of the aspect
of affairs as they now exist.
Tha case was continued nntil 11 o’clock
Monday morning.”
