Inclosing 3 ct. imp, Ben Vandelf A Co., 80 Ann St., New York. for the purpose of securing the eon of the entire trade in this country (ween the Atlantic and Pacific c It 1? customary for the Union Com to make the rates of freight weptivard, and for the Central CoM: ny to fix the rates en freight coralo, this direction; but as the two work together in matters of this they may be considered as virtu one corporation. A few w?eks 6 word was sent to both eastwa^ westward shippers that If they di make a contract for a year to sen their merchandise over these fc . roads, they would be charged for w ever shipments they made 12c^nts ponnd, which was a considerable crease on the former tariff. At time little notice was taken of threat; the rates by the way of*l Isthmus of Panama were 5 cents pound* and shipments that would o nnrily have been seht by rail w dispatched by steamer. But in a days a new obstacle to free tran^po tiou bv thfs iiieaiis presented itself. aiHordauce with an agree men entere luto between the Union and Cent Railroad Companies and the Pad Mail Steamship Company, the latt increased its rates to 10 cents pound, and the alternatives pcrmitte the merchants were |p ship their me chan<lif>e by sailing vessels aroun Cape Horn, or to accept the propos tlon of the railroad companies. Aft consultation, several 6f the ehippc concluded to coinetO terms with t railroad eompaniesX and were not di pleased to find that they could luuk an agreement for a year on the bn$i of 2J cents per pound, a rate consider^ hie lower than any hitherto charged Of course the natural result of this w to force other shippers Into concurrent3 action, so that now there is hardly a prominent business house engaged in sending manufactured goods to Cali- fnniiH, or in receiving wool, teas, Jbc, from the eictreine West, that hai» notl signed a paper committing its trade for twelve mouths into the hands oi the railroad companies. Of course, this does not apply to those who sea heavy and cheap merchandise, ft sent By s vessels, though it is understood that the railway companies intend making special rates on. . these, goods at some­ thing less than one cent per pound, for the purpose of diverting these articles also into their 6wn channel. fVhat the agreement is with the Pacific Mail, by which that company allows its trade to be taken from it, is not definitely known, though the probabilities are that, instead ef the pooling system, a certain fixed sum, say 830,000, is allowed by the railroad companies^ to make good the loss on the freight list of each steamer. The ultimate object of the railroad officials is to drive oft competition and as they control the shortest and. quickest route, they have only to reduce their rates to eftect their purpose. As they can, through agreement, regulate the workings oi the steam-Ship line, ^heiraim must, be to force a virtual abfl!idoiiit|cnt of shipments by sailing vessels. That they can succeed in this plan seems beyond question, though the success may not in the end be worth the trouble expended. Those sending their goods around Cape Horn labor under several disadvantages. Five months usually elapse between the delivery of goods at the ship's side and their discharge ; and. in addition tothelos8 of time, there is interest, on the investment and the expenses of of marine insurance to be taken into account. From ail these the shipper by rail across the continent can free himself, and hence, as we said above, the railroad companies have only to offer favorable terms of 'transportation to have everything their own way. But in allcoinpetitive contests, the questioh is not so much what the present rate is as what the future rate will be,. \Vhai stand will the railroad companies take a year hence--premising that they suc­ ceed in driving «ff opposiotH-when the present contracts for shipments have expired and new ones have to be formed? Tliev will then fie. masters of the field; but will they then be im­ posed to offer the advantageous terms, that they now do?^ The lesson of all competitive contest^ qf this kind is, that as soon as the victor has disposed of his rivals^ his attitude tb his patrons changes, and iiistead of soliciting pat­ ronage bjr concessions, he demands it on terms filled J>y himself. Commonly under these circumstances* the last state of the shipper is worse than the first, and in exactions which be is pow­ erless to prevent, he more than loses I the advantages gained by him during j the short season of keen rivalry, < |few and Stylish Dress Goods just received at EITZSIMMOXS A EVANSON.

' Perhaps some of our young readers are not familiar with the follwing puz­ zle: A young man asked an old man for his daughter in marriage. The answer was: "Go into the orchard and bring in a parcel of apples. Give me one-half of the whole number, and the mother one half of the balance and half an apple over, and tlie daughter one-haH of the remainder and half an apple over, and have one left for yourself, without cutting the apple; and then, If she Is willing, you can have her." He solved the question, and how many did he bring? Fourteen, aa you can easily prove. The old man was to have one-half of the apple*, which wou'd be seven. The mother was to have one half of - the balance, which would be three and a half, aud half an apple over, which would make four ap­ ples for her. There would be three apples left, of which the daughter was fy) have one-half and half an apple over, which would give her two, and leave the lover bis one, "without cutting the apple.*' Buy the Walker Boot at Fitzsimmons & Evanson. the yellow fever deaths, even one frost making a visible decrease In the num­ ber of victims. The city Is very quiet. The SvCial world Is not yet astir, nor will It be for some weeks to eoine. Politicians are active ae usual, but quietly so. Doubt­ less much preliminary work IS being accomplished in the way Of wire lay­ ing and pulling, of which the outside wurld knows very little. The Cabinet Officers appear to be bending all their euergles towards a vast reduction of the Government ?**- penses in the several Executive De­ partment?. This Is qnlte a new Idea and may properly be termed a *jle- form." It Is found that by scrimping the estimates in every Department, the expenses for next year can be brought within the current year* ap­ propriations except lu 3 Bureaus--the Land Office where there are not cferkft enough to do the business which Is therefore much behind :iu the Pena|#i| Office where, for the same reason over 18,000 cases are awaiting attention; and in the Second Assistant P. M. Gen­ eral'# bureau, where more money Is needed to pay for the transportation of malls and increasing the postal ser­ vice of the country. A thinking visitor at the Capital of the United States, while ' he cannot fail of being impressed by Its many beauties, flue situation, magnificent buildings and the like. Is at ones sur­ prised by certain lades and deficlen- . Hi , _ pieces here. The Government owns many thousand dollars worth of clocks iu Washington, but none are lu out-of- doors sight. Not: » single towering spire of the hundred city churches bears a running clock, though several have clock representations--dummies --whose hands never move and whose strike is never heard. But a stranger lack than this Is that of manufactories; for, certainly, no other city It contiir ually so filled with persons seeking employment. Here, where to niuoh stationery Is Mod, there I* not so much as paper mill, a lead pencil fao* tory, or a pen manufacturing concern. There is every facility here for sack enterprises, and that they are not in­ stituted is a marvel. The Capital grounds improvements and the recommencement of operations on the Washington Monument are giv­ ing work to many of our unemployed workingmen, much to their relief.-- But still the city la full of men aeeklng work, and the approach of cold weath­ er is contemplated by them with dir­ est distress. A visible decrease in the number of worthless tramp* in and about the District I* man! feat, wbtoh Is accounted for by the fact that they are seeking warmer climates for the winter and are already on their tramp­ ing way South. The country here­ abouts has fairly swarmed with these poor creatures the past summer. They have actually traveled in droves, five or six or a doien keeping In company, separating to beg In villages or 'smfli settlements or city neighborhoods only to oome together again further on. generally on the railroad track which, as a rule they follow.
