Oakos Ames' will is now in probate, and tho sccompanying fuvontories show that his eslate umounta to £5,764,251. The Ohio Libernl Committeo recommends all tho Liborals of that Stato to attond the Anti- Monopoly and Anti-Republican Convention to ‘e hold at Columbus on the 30th inat. Thres hundred nud fifty granges have been formed throughout the country since July 1. The whole number of these sociotiog is now 4,700, and their mombership is 850,000, Tho national hendquarters aro to be moved to Washington. = In accordance with the recommondation of Chiiof Engiucor McComb, the War Dopartmont has decided to apply 250,000, {hreo-fourths of tho appropriation of the Inst Congroen for tho improvement of tho Tlinois Itiver, Lo the con- sliuction of the dam at Copperas Creok. Tor Frenchmen, who havo been paying 80 heavy taxes for tho Gorman War indemnity, to celobruto the Gth of Soptombor as Evacuation Day, would seom & most natural, and, to the un- odicial mind, a most propor, procaeding., Tho French Government thinke differontly, for rea- sons of its own which are not given, and. hna forbiddon any such colebration, * Mormon circlea in Utah are greally seandal- ized by the dogortion of Tirigham Young by one of his wives. Bho is his soventeonth wife, aund hns Jeft him, taking with Ler a large amount of furnituro and personal property. Bho has ro- tained eminent counsol, and intouds to sue for divorcoand goneroud alimony. Tho suit may o oxpectod to give glimpses nover boforo re- vonled of the hinrom-life of Salt Lalko City. Asa lest oxpedient for stifling tho Oanada Pacific Ruilway seandal, the Dominion Govern- ment has dotermined to proroguo the sitting Parliatnent immedintely upon the prosentation of the report of the Invostigating Committeo, Thin eourso, the Toronto Globeromnrks, will have no other effoct thau to intensify the dotermina- tfon of the people to got at the bottom of the foul suglness and uncovor the guilly parties, no mattor what thoir station bo, nor how loug they slude pursuit, An attompl wee made in the Industrial Con- gress at Clovoland yostordny to pase a resolution pledging the Association to ignore al po- Jitionl questions, leaving them to bo dis- cussed _pud . decided by the logal mosle: Hos ab plonsuro, Thin motion was op-’ posed on tho ground that the sucoess of co- operation, nstho cconomio history of England abundautly showed, dopendod on leglslation, ahd loglelation could not bo influenced without Dpolitical action, Tho rosolution was flnally ro- forrod 16'a committeo for furtlior coneldoration, The Minnesota Ropublican Stato Convontlon, which moet at Bt.

They proposo to stop all construction work that can be safely discontinued this season, and thoy will undortako no now oxtensions. It is also thoir purposo fo roduco tho working forco as muoh as poseiblo. This policy will undoubtedly be imitated Inrgaly by all the Western roads, and itis en acknowledgmont of tho pressure which the movomont against oxcessive ratea is making on tho railronde, It is added that tho Company infond to bridgo the Misslssippi Rivor at La- Crosso, at tho place they originally sclected, despito the advorso docision of the Secretary of War. This will mako a protty kottle of fish. ———— Vice-Prosidont Shopherd, of the Board of Pub- lic Works of the District of COolumbfa, and United Btatos Commissioner Davenport, of New’ York, have failed in their attompt to have Mr. Dann taken to Washington to bo triod thero for bis allogod libelous articles on the manngemont of.tho Board of Publio Works, Tho warrant on which Mr. Dana was arrested and was tobo carriod awny wns issued by n Police Justico of Washington, whoso Gourt not only hua a doubt~ ful jurisdiotion in cases of libol, but would not afford Mr. Dans s trial by jury. Judge Blatch- ford, to whom Mr, Dana’s counsel appoealed for protection, has decided that it wonld bo uncon~ stitutional to allow him tobo taken for trial whoro Lo would be denied njury, and has, thoreforo, ordered his rolense. This decision was roceived with cheors by the peoplo in tho court-room, Tha caso for ihe prosceution which was recent- 1y closed,.in the trial of. the Tichborne claimant for perjury, produced 160 witnossos, 100 of whom swore that lio is niot Rogor Tichborno, and forty of whom gave ovidenco that ho is Arthur Orton. Bovoral involuntary alibis wore proved against the corpulont claimant, sud, .08 tho caso now stande, tho ovideneo would appear to bo entirely conclusive that tho claimant is an impostor, But the othor side is yet to be heard from. Itix not impossible that it will produce two witnessos whoro the proscution has one. Among varions rumors is one that the defonee can prove that Arthur Orton died ton years ago. Thero is anothor that tho voritable Arthur Orton wilt bo produced in court. It wouldn't boa bad idea, porbapy, to do both, The jury could then take its choico, and it would certainly be in no worse confusion than it is now. Tho Chicago produce markots woro moderate- Iy active yesterday, except provisions.

Tho rural Crangors don't want their socioty. Thé Lenvenworth Zimes says : A prominént Granger romarked to us yesterday tlnt thellue must be drawn omewhere, **If wo admit Qol, Cothin,” ssid bo, * wo would have to admit Len Smith, IfSmith wers sdmltted, wo would be obliged toadmit Jim Legate, When Legate wos admitted, Mavkeou would apply. Xf Wo admitted Murkson, Tomn Johnson would bave to be admitted, and with= inless thun Lo months every do-nothing individual 1u town would belong to tho order,” Thio contost hero- in described 1s ot without interesting features, It is tho first determined niovement of the farmers o repel placo-secking politiclans from thelr counclly, and fn this worthy causo thoy havo th warmost symputhy of tho T¥mes, Corrupt oflice-aeckors viow the Increariug atrougth of the order with slarm, porceiviug that o coucontration of honest men s no guaranteo for (ho provperity of rogues, bence thoy ek to ain their sclfiub enda by famillar feliowslip rather than risk the unplossant connequences of declaring war sgalnst the farmers’ movement, If Col. Coiu, Len Smith, Jim Logato, and ‘Tomn Jehngon wore curolled smoug the Patrons of Iusbandry by roason of their owning cor- tain amount of unimproved land in Kensas, Senator, Pomeroy would be entitled to take nll tho degreos in the order at ono sitting, for ho owus more land than ‘anyhody olso in tho Stato, Much dissatistaction among the Soutliern and ‘Wostern membors of the Philadelphis Ocntenninl Exposition is growing out of tho fact that the Commission is evidently run in tho interest of o IE]HE of Thiladelphiang, and that it lag heon pncked by this rivg at the expense of cortain Btates] which are entitled to reprossntation by thelr own citizens. Tor instance, the State of Qoorgla s roprerented by Mr. Lewis Walu Bmith, of Philadelphia, who scoms to be the leading epirit of the wholo entorprise. The Btate of Louislana ia represonted in part by, Johin Liynoh, carpot-bagger, and momber of the celebrated Lynch Board of Cauvassers, and in part by ono Pennypacker, of Philadalphia, Indiana was at one time reprosented by & Dhila- delphian also, but upon tho protest of Cov. Hondricks ho was romoved, and a residont of Indiaunappolnted, Tho ring charactor of the Commission has been severely commented on by the local press of Philadelplis, but without of- fagh Yo undorutand that it s tho purposo of tho Wostorn aud Southorn Commlasloners to ask Congross to pass a supplomental bill, requiring that.the Commisslonora shall bo actunl rosidents of tho Btatos thoy reprosont. Nothing less than tllflu will satisfy the Wostern mombors of the Commisslon ; and wo may add that nothing loss will commond the Bxposition itsolt to tho confl- @liucn of tho country at largo, | The polico authoritios of New York do not soom dispoged to undortake tho task of olosing tho boo_bsnlonnu on Bunday, Boma time ago the Bupromo Court of Now York decldod that beer, ale, and wine wero . Included under tlio gonoral hoad of nleoholio liquora nndlntox(cntiné arinka, A weekor moro ago, the announcoment was made that tho Exclse Commisslonors, following this decision, would proceod to closotho boor-saloons 84 wollas all other saloons on Sunday, in con- turm_uy to the Bunday law. Tho ordor .was ta go in forco on the 12th inat., which was last Bundsy. Tho investigation of tho roportors on that day found the German gardens and boer- snloons opon as usnal, and no notico Lad boon sorved on them to olose. Thoy sold no spirituons lquors whatovor, but lager-boer, woles-beer, and Rhivo wine, Br, Honry ®mith, tho Presi- dent of the Polics Commissionors, was visited, and sald that there was a8 yot no intention of enforoing tho Sunday law as sgainst tho Ger- man boor-saloons. “I am in favor of letting the Germane have nll the boor they want,” ho snid; ‘“‘tho Cormnane aro a peacoablo, orderly class of people, and ncbody bias o right to intorfore with thoir onjoyment.” Tho testimony .of tho polico officors who wera intorviewod was to tho effoct that the German rosorts wero all quiet and ordorly, and that,no spiritnous liguors woro sold. It scoms, then, _entirely practicable to moko n distinetion be- twoon boor and spirituous liquors oven in as largo a city as Now York. —— RAILROAD CHARGES, Just now, whou the question is o warmly dis- puted what the railronds ought to charge, it may Do worth while to look back a little and soo what thoy havo charged. As the complaint is mainly : with regard to Weatern roads, it may holp, also, to lmow whnt Eastorn roadscharge for doing tho samo sort of businoss. Tako first tho groat trunk’ ronds, tho Ponn- eylvanin, Now York Contral & Hudson River, Erie, and Boston & 'Albany at tho East, and the ko -Shore, Pittsburgh, Fort Wayno & Chicago; - Alantic & Great Westorn, Oleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indian- apolis, and Creat Westorn, of Canadn, operating in connection with the Eastern trunk lines in tho movement of Western produce. Comparing the Intest published roturns, those of 1871, we find that the average charge per ton per milo on the four Enstorn roads wne 1 69-100 por ten pormile, and on the five Western trunk lines only 131-100 per ton por mile. This is bocanse the Wostorn roads, having less local traflic in & country less compaotly sottled, do alarger pro- portion of through business, which can bo and is dono at a somowhnt lower cost. “The ‘gréater tho distance to which a load is moved, the lower the nctual cost of moving it, .and hence the lower tho chetges to which close compotition will ‘push tho railronds. Carrying at lower rates, the five Westorn ronds yielded much smaller earnings. The average net enrn- inga of the four Eastern roads wero $7,696 per mile, and tho avorage net earnings of the fivo Westorn ronds only $2,701 pormile, Tho alleged cost of the Eastern ronds was about $80,000 por mile, and of the Western about $50,000 ; the four Enstern ronds thorefore oarned about 91§ per cont interost’ on their cost, and the five ‘Wostorn roads about 5 4-10 por cont. Lot us nost take anothor class of Westorn roads, which, aving far less through traffio to sustnin thom, nro yet relioved from that compo- tition with the water route which helpa to keop rates Ao low on tho trunk roads Esstward, Tho Chicago, Rock Island & Pacifio, Chicago, Bur~ ‘lington & Quiney, Chicago & Northwostern, Tlli- ‘nois Contral, Milwaukeo & Bt. Paul, Western Union, Ohio & Mississippi, Kansas Pacifie, Brr~ lington & Missouri Rivor, and Iannibal & 8t. Josoph, all publishied statements in tho ssmo yoar which cuablo us to compare their avorage charge por ton por milo with those of tho most progperous trunk routea of tho Eastern and Central Stales. On these ten roads, tho avorage distance to which freight was moved was 147 miles; on the Take BShore and four othor Westorn trunk routes, 169 miles ; and on the four Tastern ronds 159 miles, Actunl cost being loss ns distance incroasos, wo cannobt oxpect to find rates quite as low for an average haul of 147 miles as for ono of 169 miles. But the avorage charge per ton por mile on the ton roands last nnrhcd, in 1871, was' 27 54-100 "conts,—nearly doible tho rate -on the “five Central lihes, "and one-balf groater than the rato on Enatorn trunk ronds. - Novortheloss, oven with " higher _charges, the ten Western roads realizod neb enrnings of only $2,782 por mile,—probably about 6 per cont on their cost. Some of them have never paid any dividends. Botweon theso ronds aud tho great trunk rondsof the East, howaover, tho comparison is ecarcely n fair ono, beeause thoy have as yot & much smaller busi- ness, Bub the charges on the trunk roads of tho Sonth ave still highor; thoso carrying over one hundred miles avorage 4 1-6 cents por ton por milo, and yot their not earnings are only 1,725 por milo,—loss than b por cont of thoir cotit, Thia difforence in rate charged on Eastorn, Waostern, aud Southorn roads is not conflned to the Inrgor and longer routes. Although bnt a small proportion of the roads mnke publio tho - fnots nocessary to onablo the inquirer to nscer- tain tho rato actunlly charged for froight, enough have dono 8o to give a fair 1des of the relative cost of transportation ‘in the different sections, Of thoso, twelve ronds at the Boull, carrylug froiglit each an average distance of twonty milos orover, vary in chargo por ton per milo from 2 8-10 to 11 conts,—~tholatter rato being tho avorago racoipts of the Calveston & Ban “Antonio. Tho avorage rate charged by all of them for an aversge distanco of about oighty milos is B3¢ conis por ton per milo. T'wonty-throo ronds in tho Wostern States (notb including tho five Contral lines already mon- tioned) earry freight an average distauce of 107 wmiles, and charge an averago rate of 3 conta por ton por milo. Bixiy-four Euntorn ronds, carrging frolght an averago diatanco of fifty-nino milps, charge an avorage rato of BX conts por ton por milo. Many of thoso, howover, are nhiort roads, upon which the coat is mecousarlly somowhat higher por mile than it is on longer Wostorn ronda; thoso carrying an avorago distance of thirty miles or lags charge an avorage rate of ahont 5 conts per ton per mile, Considering the distanco and cost, thorofore, tho peoplo of tho Western Btates alroady gob Jower ratos por ton por milo from tho roads upon which they dopond than tho pooplo cither of the Bouth orof the Enst, Tho averago not earnings of tho twdnty- threo Woatorn roads are $1,806 per milo, and of tho sixty-four Eastern $2,010 por milo—for many of thom do not pay exponses, and many moro barely pay Intorest on borrowed monoy. The ronds which yleld more than ordinary fn- toreat on thelr cost are comparativoly fow in numbor. t 1t ia an incident worth noting that the lowest rate charged by any rond of whioh full statiatica aro givon {s 11-10 por ton por mile, the ayerago tho Woztorn Btntos chargo by tho Great Westorn of Canada. Paying +loss for iron and material, it ylelds- not carnings of $4,007 per milo upon Tatos rot much aboyo tho actual cont of transportation in & noighbor- ing country blossod with a tarift called “pro- toctive "l . MIGRATIONS OF THE BLACES f a BOUTH. Y Tho Beaurogard movemont, tho fontures of which woro rocently indicatod in his pronuncia- monto, seom destined to bo realized in one ro- spoct ot lonst, namely, the comploto Africaniza~ tion of cortain Southorn Btates, among them, Louisiaoa aud Mississippl, The formor ia al- ready virinally Africanizod, and the lattor rapid- 1y bocoming so. Daring the last twelve months, ovor 80,000 nogrocs have loft the hilla of Geor- gis, whera the goll is poor and unproductivo, and havo swarmed into tho lowlands of tho Missia- sippl, whore the prairies are rich in sofl and moro onslly cultivated. This incursion of tho no- groes is constantly golng on, and with incroased rapidity. The Momphis Appeal, in a rocent issue, gives a very caroful siatemont of this sogrega- tion of races and its rosults. The tendoncy of tho Africans is to tho lowlands, nnd of the whitos to thohills. With tho accnmulation of woalth, the whitos flock to the villages and citios and build new towns smong the hills, while the negroes pour stoadily into ‘the low- lands, where their tofl fs' the most profitable, and where thoy will ultimately monopolizo tho best cotton and sugar-growing plantations. In the'samo ratio that they concontrate, the whitas aro forced out, and in many instances the plant~ ors aro subdividing thoir estatos and solling to ‘tho freedmon, whilo in. many othors, where tha freodmen sre in tho majority, tho taxos - for ' the support of nogro schools and office-holders aro so- onorous that real estato becomes a burden, and thus, by com- pulsory sales, tho negross bocomo the owners as woll 18 the tillers of tho oil. “Loulsiana is hope- leesly dostined to bocomo & black Btato, and tho segrogation of - the two racos is progressing so rapidly in Missisalppi that the disposition to create anew State west of tho Tennosace and cast of tho Misslssippi River grows stronger aud strongor. . A doflnite proposition hns already Deon mndo to annex to West Tonnessce thoso countics of Mississippl north of the Talla- hatchie River, which would surrendor tho rest of the Blate to negro_rulo and occupation ontirely.

This proposition has been vory gen- crally discussod by tho press and amoog the people, and meots with very general favor, espe- cinlly in the northern counties, Some of tho southorn counties object that tho northern onos havo no right to abaudon the rest to tho domina- tion of the negrocs, to which thoy roply that the doom of tho 8tato is sealed, and that ihey have the right to provide for their own sconrity, Commenting upon the condition of things, tho Appeal says: ** Of courso, thoro is much of all this indicativo of the courso of future rathor than of presont events, Not tho less cnrnost among thoughtful people is the discus- gion of facts nnd questions horo presonted, which Missiseippians are accustomed to cousidor when tho migratory movements of races in the Gulf Btates aro closoly scanned.

Lnwronco and Welland:Canals 18 going on— rathor slowly and grudgingly, porhaps, but novortholoss going on. This particular work was o sort of tub to the whale—a concession to the commercial classes of Lower Canads, in- tended to amuse them whilo the Governmont was plunging rocklossly in dobt to build two ut- torly usolesa nud wastoful railways (the Inter-Colonial and Canada Pacific), virtunlly cou- necting Halifax with Vancouver's Island, through Britie territory, without population or produc- 'tions Lo pay tho oporating expenses after com- pletion. Novertheless, wo are willing to concodo that the Canadiang hiave the right to spend their own monoy in thelr own way, Of all hor public enterprises, howover, her citizons know that these most productive of bonefit aro bor canais. Theso cannla are at pros- ont wholly inadequato to the growing volume of business, and the Government las wieoly Hob -apart $12,000,000 to onlarge them. ' The prosent "Welland Caunl, which councots Lake Erie and Loko Outarlo, Lng an avorage width of 50 fect at tho bottow, and iy from 50 to 200 feot wide "at tho top, and admits the passage of vesxols drawing 10 foot of wator. Tho 8t. Lawrenco Canals do not allow the passago of vousols drawing over 9 foet of water: It is pro- posed to incroase those cauals to 12 foot dopth, and to oulargo their bottom width to 100 foob, Withont these eanals, tho Dominion would bo cut off from trade wilh tho Westorn Statos of this country ; with theso canals proporly en- larged, that trado would be inoronsed tonfold, and tho Ganadian Troasury would have an imme- - dinte rotnrn from tho commerce, There aro two or throe linos of steamera running from Montroal to Liverpool, and,- 88 soon ag those cauals aro mado large enough to pass steamers from Ohi- oago, there will be trade enough with the Woatern Btatos to employ doublo tho number of stoamers. Thero is no reason why the bulk of imports to should _ not_. como through Montronl. Steamors botwoon Montrenl and Europo could, then have a coriainty of full chrgoos onch way during tho wholo onson of navigation. This inorensed commorco will bogin instantly upon tho completion of the canals, whilo tho railway to the Pacifio, along tho norihe orn shoro of Lako Buperior, and thenco 2,700 milon to Pugot Sound, will not pay 1 per -cent on }tu cont for'the noxt half contury. Tho ox- dendlture of $12,000,000 - upon tho canals -is a matter of ordinary precaution. It is nocossary to presorva tho value of the canals alroady ex- isting ; it is & nocossary addition to the monns of carrying on tho incroased businoss which hag grown up ; it is but oponing: a doorway to ad- mit & trado which is imitod only by the faolli- | tioa of tranaportation. - It s truo that the completion of thess canals will bo of diract, immodinto, and immonso boue- fit to this country, and for this renson there bayo boon porsons in Canada who havo opposad it. Thoso porsons, in thoir hostillly :to -tho Unitod Btates, would rather have no commorcoe on the Bt.

Thoe enlargement of the Welland and 8t. Law- ronco Canals will bo of immediate profit to ovory grain aud provision producer in the Northwoat. It willadd a largo porcontage to tho prico of corn and grain at the placo of growth. It will havo an immodiato offect on tho rates of trans- portation to the soaboard.

Capt. Rogers, of the Bengal sorvice, racontly rend o paper beforo the English Bocial Science Association, in which ho stated that, in 1869, ono tigross stopped the trafilc on a public rosd for many wooks, and was kuown to have killed 127 pooplo ; and, in Naydunkas, a tigor, in 1867, 1868, and 1869, killed, rospoctively, twenty-sov- on, thirty-four, aud forty-seven pooplo. It wounld attack o pafty and kil fouror five at a time, Onco it killod a father, mother, and threo childroon, and the week be- fore it was shot it killed seven peoplo. It is statod that there are shikarries, or huntors, who recoivo rowards for doing 8o, but they have no dostro to Lill off all of thom and thua cut off their sourca of living, Thoy, thorefore, only kill onough of them to show that they aro not idle and to mnke a living.

Whereupon the an- imal was seized and appraised at $800, and n tnx of 3100 demanded. The Governmont holda tho tapir, and protection ia vindicated.
