The people 4o not rejoico when they hear of Bloody wars and fierce beitles, for they aro ugu- ally productive of misery, destitution, and dis- tress to individuals as well as to the country, but, nevertheless, thore are wars and battles which are productive of much good to tho people and to the conntry, and which hurt nono except the combasting partics. This 1 especially the cose when such battles are fought between great rail- 1oud corporations, each one trying to Il off the otber by reducing rates of fare and freight to such low figures as will rejoice the hearts of the fiercest Grangers, While the railroads may, if they koop on, share the fato of the Kilkenny cats, tho peoplo ean afford 10 look on and enjoy tho chesp rates offered them on all sides. THE B. 4 0. AND TIE PENNSYLVANIA BOAD. The skirmiehing which has been going on for somo time along the lines of the Baltimore & Ohio and the Peunsylvania Railroads has gradu- slly spread, and fierco battles are now fighting Dotweon thoso bio large corporations in nearly evers city of the Union. Ouly a few days ago the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad cut passenger rates to the Eaat to, such low figurey that tho otber rosds declere themselves unable to follow suit, Day before vesterday the eame road mado suother move, and astonistied the Froight Agents of other roads by CUTTING THEIR FREIGET TARIFF to the East, and establishing the following rates : | =Slaad <9 8 85|5Z8) 53] 2 S3EsSEY S S |8SE| 35 3 s20% cmicase 7o PElPSF s € D EE 83 B3| F iufl g3 g (3R E ‘Doston, il and steam, not ins New York, 21l ruil orrail and A 90! .90f .90} P 1.40. 1.60. 1.18 1.4 .60| 1.90] Petersburg,Va., rail and wuter.| .60I 1,20, ‘Portsmoutl, Va., rail ana water| :55( 1.09).. b2 outh, Va., rail ond wa-| 1.10] Norfolk, Va,, rail and water. 1.05, ‘orfolk, Va., rail and water, us| 1.06!

This battle, which Las now lasted for several months, is proving a8 contagions 28 _small-pox, and, like the epizootic, has been moving steadily westward until nearly every Western road is now on the warpath, About a month sgo, the Chica- g0, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy, and the Chicago & Northwestern Railroads, declared war on the Union Pacific bo- cause the Tatter refused to prorate with them, but took the lion's share of all tho profits, loay- ing to thie Chicazo ronds nothing but the pick- inge. The Union Pacifi, not willing to lose s part of its profts, ~went into the light, snd, through the agoncy of the Baltimore '& Ohio Railroad, which _will do anything to injurathe Peousylvania Boad, bas been , sble to keep up tho fight until tho present {ime by going around Chicago and seuding fraight Dy way of St. Louis. 6T. LOTIS DAILROADS bavenot beenin the habit of carrying much freight from any other place than St. Louis, nearly all the Eastern freights for the West Lav- ing _previonsly gone via Chicago. By catting their rates to please Mr. Vining, the Freight Agent of the Upion Pacific Railroad, they reason- od thut they might get much of the Chicago trade, especinlly as the new Illinois Railroad law already severcly discrimmnated sguinst our roads in favor of those of St. Louis, and, conae- guentis, the ¢, Louis, Kausas City & Northera ailrosd cut rates to as low a figure as posaiblo to get all the Californis trade. REJOICINGS AT 8T. LOUIS. y Mr. Van Horn, tbe Superintendent of this road. who was in the city yesterdsy, said fo s TRIBCXE reporter that by this action St. Louis would beat Chicago all to smash. Cincinnati, Louisvitle, Pittsburgh, and other large cities ¥ero now shipping exclusively vis that: city, availing themselves of the cheap rates offered ; “aud besides,” said Mr. Van Horn, “ your Rail- 23 Iaw knocks Gieago trado all fo pieces, and builda up St. Louis and Missouri.” . The Miseouri Pacific Railroad of 5t. Loais, not being willing o let the Kensss Cicy Road do the Western freight business, then com- enced an aitack on the lstter by re- ducing thé freights to a still Jower figure’ thin the former. Since that time e iwo roads have been at war tryiog which 006 could cut rates tho best, and, thius far, are bout even. St. Louis merchants can ship their {reight for almot nothing. REDUCTION BY THE ALTON ROAD. To please the Kansas City & Northern Road, a1d help aloug in its fight with the Missour: Pa- clfic, the Chicago & Alton Railrosd, dsy before Jesterdsy, cut 1ta freight rates from this city to t.

A STRIEE DOUBTFUL. There is somo doubt whother the delegates will vesture on a strike at this time, and action may, therefore, be deferred for the present until such umo as the railrosds can be taken unawares. But oue thing is cortain, that Chief- Engincer Witson will bo deposed, and some man ‘mora in favor of a strike will be elected to fill the office. The First Graad Assistant Engineer, L. B. Greeno, is a candidate for the ofiice, and isout in o card to the delegates donouncing Chief-Engincer Wilson as an enemy of tho Brotherhood. —_—— MISCELLANEOUS. THE NEW RAILEOAD LAW. Sec. 2 of the now Rsilroad bill * for an net to prescribe rules and regulations for railroads, and to estsblith uniform and resonable rates of tariff for the transportation of freight and pas- sengors,” reads as follows: For the transpertation of wheat in quantities not Jesa than & car-load of ten tond, accordiug 1o custom, the car to be louded and unloaded at the expense of the shipper, §10 per car for any distzace under 20 mmiles: for any distance of 20 and under 30 mikes, 5 cents per ton por mile; for uny distance of 30 miles and undor 60 _miles, '4 conta per mile; for any distance of 50 miles and under 75 miles, 3 centa per ton per mile; for any distance of miles and under 100 miles,’ 23 cents per milo; for any distence of 100 miles and under 150 miles, 2 cents per mile ; for any distance of 150 miles and ua- der 200 miles, 13 cents per mile; for uy distance of 200 miles and under 300 miles, 1 cents por mile, For the transportation of all other grain onc-elghth of a cent loss per ton por milo than for the transportation of wheat. Now, to show that those who drew up this bill did not know what thoy wero about, or did not understand the ordinary multiplication table, it is only necessary to refer to thot part of tho bill which provides that a railrond shall chargo for, 49 mil es 4 cents per ton, which would make $19.60 per car-load, while for 50 miles no mors than $ cents per ton shall be charged, which would mako only §15 per car-load. Thus a rail- rosd recoives for 49 miles $4.60 moro per car- loed than for 50 miles. For louger distances the discrepancios aro still Jarger, As the now Rail- rosd law provides that railroads shall make 00 - discrimination, and mot carry freight a Jonger distance for less money than they do to a shorter one, itis kard to perceive bLow rail- xoads can comply with the provisions of this bill without makiong themselves liable to prosecution.

The Pecuniary and Political Besults of the Organization, A meoting of workingmen, and others favora- Dblo to the causo of tho ** Sovereigns of Indus- try,” was held at the house of Mr. Allen, No. 210 North La Salle street, last ovening. Mr. A, Bar- ker, boiler-maker, presided. The attendance was sufliciently large to crowd the parlor and sitting room. EXPLANATORY. Mr. Earle, Graud Master of the Order of Sov- ereigns of industry, from Worcoster, Mase., was called upon to state bis views relative to the or- ganization, which he did ot somo length, om- bodying the sentiments oxpressed by him to a TRIBUNE reporter, as published in these columns Wodnesday moruing. POLITICS, The Chairman agked whether such o thing as politice was allowed in tho moetings of the Couucils and Sub-Couucils of the Order. Hr. Earlo replied that no politica were rocog- rized mmong the membors. Principles were, however, and no man forfeited his political right to vote for whom ho pleased by aimply becoming a “Bovereign-of Industry.” A delegato from the West Side Rolling-Mills aeked whether members would be allowed to speak of their favorite candidates for oftico in the moetings of the Councils. Ho considered that Mr. Earlo’s oxplanation did not go to prove that the * Sovereigns " wero entirely outside of politica. In fact, from what he bad heard of the movement, he believed it to be more political than anything elso. Mr. Earlo replied that politics were utterly ox- cluded from the order, but, as individuals, mer- bers could use their judgment in voting, just as much as Masons and Odd Fellows did. . THE GRANGERS. Mr. Elliott, from Benton County, Ia., now Goneral Ageut for the Grangers of that State in this city, was called upon to give his views rela- tive to ' Grangism.” AMr. Elliott etated that when the first organiza- tion was attempted in his county, four years ago, o rascally Deputy ran off with al tho fands of four different Granges. This discouraged mombers, but, fired by a detestation of the ex- tortions committed and practiced by middle-man aud commission-men, thé farmers rallied anow, and now there were in _the State of fowa no less than 1,800 Granges—all in excellent working or- der. Their resources were simost illimitable, and their influence was growing greater_every year. An English delogato from tho North Branch Tolling-Mills asked whother the Grangers were not stroug_politicians. All the papers of the country said they had elected their men throug out the States. Alr. Elliott stated in roply that. as & matter re- sulting from_education sud intolligont regard for their own interosts, the Grangers bad “cor- tainly changed the facs of politics in Towa and elsowhero. Provious to their organization_ ov- erything wes ron by lawyers and professional _politicians. Now they were governed by farm- Cors—men who wero in sympathy with them, and wore naturally identified with® their intercsts. As regarded the men elected, they were not nominated in the Granges, but outside of them. The English Delegate—I should regard it 23 a very poor political education if I had only to vote for the nominations made Ly other peoplo. Mr. Elliott statod that, although the nomina- tions were not made at xaiu.lm' meetings of the Grangers, still thers could be no denying that ontaide of their mccting-places, in caucusea and elsewhere, they excrcised & paramount infiuence. They were not politiciaus, for they had cut 1o0se from party ties. They would not voto for any man, Democrat or “Republican, whoso record was not clear. DBefore the Grangers had sitained thewr preseut growth, not ono man in ten Lkmow who was Lis representative in the General Assembly, wiao was L Congressman, or who Lus Senator.” Now the roverse was the rule, snd this_political knowledge had also been extended to tho Indics, who wers mast zealons in the cause of the farm- ing classes. Tho Granges met togother, and comited business with- pleasurc.” Thoy had their sociables and all that kind of thing, and, in that way, extended thoir influence, WHAT MATERIAL GOOD ? Tho Chnirman—But what material good have you effectad, Mr. Elliott? ; Mr. Elliott s2id that vory great good had been effected. During tho lust year they bad waved in the State of Iowa no less than $2,000,000 ou machinery alone! That might sppear an ex- travagant figure, but he had the papera,and other matters to show the truth of what he assorted. The price of every farming implement biad been reduced more than one-third. They had_estab- lished their agents all through Towa, and overy articlo was recaived at wimost cost prico, 10 per ceut being_charged to pensons outside tho Granges. He enumerated tho savings in plows cultivators, reapers, etc., and stated ihat tbey furnished piznos that used to cost ¥600 each for $300; sud sewing-machices that cost $100 each for $50, and so on in proportion. The Englishman—Docs that come from the pocket of the manufacturer? Mr. Elliott emplatically denied that it did. It came from the pockets of tho middle-men or commission brokers, who robbed the monufacturer and tho _consumer - alike. Thoir system had effectually thrown cold water on the commission business, which was, 28 a rule, » grosa imposition, not one de- grea removed from downright swindling. The Grangers bad been very successful thus 1ar, and wero advancing iu power every day they oxisted. ‘Thoy had builc thirty elovators in Towa, had es- fablished their own agencies, and hed Bighly fm- proved the moral tono of the farming classes. “The mechanics aud operatives, who wero large consumors, wero the very men they wanted to reach. They could save 3¢ on every barrel of flour bought from an agent of the Grangers, Only 10 conts s _barrel was paid, for necessary exponses, over the cost prico. 'The sgenfs wora paid a sslary, but no commission was allowed. THE PLOW-AEN. Mr. Allen—Did not some plow-firm here in town refuse to sell you plows, or something that way, because you refused to pay old prices? r. Elfiott—Thoy did, and passcd » resolution —the shareholdera—to that etfoct. Wo mot tuo aflair by passing & resolution not to buy from them at all, unless they gave us what we wauted at a fair valuation. . Theo we set to work and es- tablished plow-factories of our own, go as to be independent of them altogether. When they saw that, thoy camo to terms immediately, snd 80 did tho folks in 8t. Louis and elsewhere, One manufactorer’s agent said to_me in town hera the other day: ‘‘Are youn Granger?” Isaid “Yes.” . “Well” said be, “you fellows cost us $20,000 this past year.” I eaid, “That's rothing; we'll cost you $50,000 bofore acother year,” and we will. Ttell yon, workingmen, ihat we defy monopoly and trade thimblo-rigging now, and if you or- ganize in proper shape, 88 we have done, you can do the same. {Applause]. WILL TILE GRANGERS FAVOR TIE SOVEREIGNS. Mr. Allen—Does your Society favor our or- ganizing ? i Afr. Eiliott—Wby should they not? Our in- teresta aro ideptical. Womake po war on the manufacturer, but we do war npon bis agent, who is his most deadly enewy 26 he is ours. Tho farmers are orgaviZed in.self-defense. Why shonld not the workingmen be also organized ? It is o daty that they owo to themselves and to their friends. [Applause]. d CO-OPERATION. The ZEnglish delegato stated that tho London Clerks' Associstion had the Ilargest co-operative organizaton in_ the world. He had feit the influence of co-operative societics in Rocherdale end through- ont Lancaskire and Yorkshire. Ho had never belonged to & trades-union; but, for all that, he favored tho principle which they acted upon. “3fr. Ellioit—I must beg lesve to difier from imy Englieh friond in tho opinion that the En- glish Cixkn' Asgocigtion is the largest and rich- st in the world. That csnmot be. Wo are or- ganized in thirty-four States of tha Union, aud, 1 most of them, we can elect our chosen men. Your socioty over in Old England cannot do do that. Tho English Delegato (Isughing)—Ob, L, of wu.-s“- y?e%d the pfim. ?ngmnr‘] We are quite big over there, but must lock smsll beside your showing. We will not quarrel about pre- cedence. then said & few words in_which he stated that the manufacturers down in New England and clsowhers would be glad of some system thac would bring tho producer and consumer into business contact, withous the impogition of com- mission-men, or go-betweens. One man in Lynn, Mass., had said to bim not long ago_that speculators wero the ruin of the country. They bad the money, drawn from the farmer, tha nianufacturer, and the workingman, and with it they were enabled to flood the market with worthless goods, For example. ho bad shipped 8 cargo of boots and shoes to the West, at the order of acash specalator. In two or thres weeks, he was notitied by tho Western firma that tho 'goods * sent wero miserable—almost worthless. - What was their comment out West? Thiss *Tho thing all comes from denling with theso wooden-nutmeg Ynankees ! [Laughter]. Now, tho fact of the mattor is, that the epecalator would only pay so much to the manufacturer, and tho latter, to save him- self, wos compelled to put up “one-horse ” goods, while tho speculator sold the stuff at Tiret-class pricos, thus killiog the busincss repu- tation of tho manufecturer, nd cheating tho working consumor by deluding him into paying his money for worthless stuff. That was how things wero run. [*That's so,” and spplause.] A CASH BASIS, Mr. Efliott—T havo to 8ay another word. We den! only for cash, We have no cradit system, and find it tho best and satest %oficy. 1r. Allen—But all of our laboring people are not capitalists, Mr. Elliott. Every workiogman mny not be in & condition to pay for &_barrel of flour, bat he may wont & smaller quantity. How do you propose io have that remedied ? Ar. Elliott—By the establishment of agencios, of course. The sub-agentcan deal direct with the General Ageut, and, in that way, the con- sumer can havo his goods stillatcost price. [Ap- pinuse.] THANES. AMr. Allen—I move, as tl:o scnse of this meet- ing, that & vote of thanks bo returned to Messru. Earle and Elliott for their lucid explanations hore to-night. - Tho voto wos put and carried unanimonsly. ‘Fho gentlemen 60 thanked then retired to an ante-room, onaANIZATION.

Mr. Mooro_ stated, confidontially, that the ini- tintion-fee was $2 for mon snd &1 for women. 1f they hod fifty male members, that would mske $100. Of that Sum, 815 went to tho Graud Conueil; Mr. Earlo received, for Lis sor- vices and to pay necessary traveling and hotel oxpenses, not less than S15 gnd mot over £20, if the fund accumulated amounted to $50, and the balanco went to tho local treasury. If tho fee nmouuted, after sending £15 to tho Treasury of the Grand Coun- cil, to less than $15, Mr. Eurlo s:ill took half of that sum for_organizing expenses, and the rest was rotained by the Sub-Council Treasurer. This was necessary for members to undorstand. A member moved to postpone action for one 28 many men had come unpropared to pay the initiating foe. Mr. Allen statod that Mr. Earle would be com- polled to Jeavo town this evening, and, if there were fiftean present willing to join, that would do to start with. They could have, at leas:, & temporary organization. After nome discussion, o show of bands was called for, and fiftesn persons appearcd to be in favor of immediata organization. All persons who did not desire to join were then invited to leave, while Mr. Earle way called in and gave *‘the secret work of the Order” to the now members, who were first duly sworn in. The list of officors was not comploted last ovening, but tho chief men in the list aro Mossrs. Larker, Allen, and Moore, Master, Secretary, and Treasurer,—only pro tem., however. 3Mr. Earle bas left behind him deputies to per- fect othier organizations, and thera can hardly be a doubt that tho organization is now under full Lbeadway 1u Chicago.

He has isaued to the Central Railroad, alter an inspeciion by the Hon. Andrew Proudfit, and after hearing tho argumont of connsel and others interested, certificates of all the land claimed on the road built, On theso certificates the Com- pany expect to bo able to draw all the Jand upon that part of the road that has been constructed to which it would have been entitied had tho road from Portage City to Stevens Point been completed. This action will be justified by tho terms of the law, which require that for the purposes of estimating the amount of Iands to which the Company is entitled, Portage shall be deemed the poiut of commencoment. The driends of tho Company aro of course exultant over this aciion, which will relieve it from all pecuniary_embarassment, bat there is much wrath and 1digoation among representatives of localities and interests now left out in the cold, Nothioghas caused so much excitoment in legislative and political circlos for soveraldays. Bpecial objection is mado to the action of the Governor mow, becauso & caso in the Supreme Court involving the Goveroor's duty in tho premices, ana to some extent the merits of the quoation, would come up n & day or two, and because & bill is ponding in tho Legislattre with a viow to com- promise conflicting interests. Some of the Gov- ernor's political friends are loudest in their con- domnation. THE LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS were of little interest to-day. More romonstrances were piled in against the repeal of the Graham Liquor law, and the ques- tion was raised whether to measure them by the yard or the pound. ¥ SRNATE.

He was wounded by o bullet-shot throngh the wrist. He gave the following narrativo of the attack, which was wit- nessod from a distanco by poor’ Machado, who fled with tho torrible tidings to Tucson : On the moming of tho massacro, Corillas and two other men wero at work near and in front of AMachado’s house. They saw o Iargo number of Apacnes npproaching, but at first folt no alarm, because the Indians wero accustomed to visiting tho ranch. On arriving at tho placo the Apaches auked for two of tho men employed there, Romano Esmerdon and Mendoza. They woro informed that the men were away. Tho Indians then went into the corral, and formed iuto.lines, like soldiers. Then, for the first time, Deloro and his compsnions auticipated troachory. They at ooco rushed into tho house and closed the doora. The Apaches iustantly opened fire, shooting through tho windows, and almost im- mediately Lilled the woman and two children. The Indians then set fire to the house, and with an ax made s bole 1nto the room where the three moa were, and soon smoked them ont. ‘The men retrested into another houss on_the opposiie 8ido of the corral. Ove, Jesus Vas- quez, was lalled soon ofter gotting into the room ; -and goon afterward Rafacl Romano was also Killed, leaving Corrilles, as the Apachos thought, their certain victim. Assoon sa Ro- mano fell, Corrillas took his dead comrade's gun, aud fought his way through the yelling fiouds 10 tho river, escaping death by & miracle. Ho lay secreted in the brush by the river all day and night, ond then mado his escape. Corril- ladsaya tho corral was full of Apaches, but ho does not know the number. Tho band was led by *¢ Pachero,” who shot Corillas in the wrist, and who also killed the womau, A number of the old Chmd]-) Grant Indians were recognized among the ban The party from Tucson found the bodies of Machado's wifo and two children and of the two men, aud buried them.

Evidence in tho case was submitted to Gov. Dix, and his scemin tardiness in rondering a decision has oscasioned. much complaint on both sides. It appears, how- ever, from the papers of removal which havo been sent’ to Britton, that the Governor reached a decision tireo weeks ago to-day, but has kept it sccret on account of the difficulty of solccting o suitable man to fill the vacancy which the removal of Britton would cause. At last he referred the matter to Thurlow Weed, who, after s scarching_mvoatigation, recom. mended Mr. Thomas H. Rodman. 'This gentle man has been effercd, and has accepted, the offico.
