RAILROAD NEW: THE POOL. Tha pool of the rowls leading ta tho East is not working as smoothly as it was expoected it would whau it was firut gotten up, and is is now doubttul whethar it can last longer than spring. Dissensions Lotweou the mauagers of the various lines in the paol have hegun o spring up, which, if not checked in tiwe, will break up the combivation. Tho father of this arrange- ment {8 Mr. Thoman Heott, whoeo desire it wag to have the ratos from the Northwoat highor than from the West and Bouthweat, Mr. Jewatt, of the Erio, was formerly with the Pounsyivauia Hailrosd Compsuy, sud {6 so favorably in- clinod toward ‘this corporation ithat he follows the lead of Col Bcott. But it created goneral surprise that Commodoro Vanderbilt anculd join s combination the main objact of which is'to forco the hulk of the Wostern busl- nees awsy from Chicugo, and to tho Hontliweat orn lines, vis 4. Louls and Indianapolis, Too Ponneslvania Itaitronl connects with wome of tho principal croas-lines, nud hing plko the cous trol of the two lines to Ht. Louis, and hence its proferonce for the latter city. Bot Vanderbile hes 1o connnction with the Bouthwest, and most of his tr comey from Chicago and tho Northwest, 0 wonder that for this roason nearly everybody was surpriscd when Vanderbilt agraed to allow tho Pennayiva- nis and Baltimore & Obio Itailrosds o share with bim & trade of which be had heretofora carried the bulk, It ts, however, vow statod on good nuthority that tho New York Central sud Micligan South- ern Rallroads, Mr. Vanderbilt's favorile linos to the West aud Northwest, have succeedod, provious to tho foimation of the pool, in making ooough contracts for shipments of grain ond flour at special rates to koep them busy during the winter. Now, a8 it was ‘decided @t the formation of the pool that contracts previouslty made can bo carriod out, it will be scen that” Vanderbilt bLas outwitted the other wanagers who lLave made no—or very few—contracts. Vanderbilt not only pockets all the proits on_the sbip- menta by his own roads, but also divides the protita of tho othor roads in the pool. This way undoubtedly the roadon for lus strange action. Tio favored Liigh ratca from Chicagy, knowing full that such ratos at tho present timo would put an embargo oo shipmeats during the win- tor. Apd thws is Just what ho wanted to secomplish, Ho Lad econtracted for enough to keep him going unit spnug. and be Lnow that the pool would bo bursted by that time, whea ho could stare in with a great prastigo over tho othor linca. Tho action of tha North- weotorn Millors at thoir Convention in this city a day or two ago in uiguifying their proference for the Michigan Soucthern ‘and Now York Central haa opened tho eyos of tho managers of tho pool, and they aro not us much in favor of high rates now{as they usod to be. - They have already docided ‘that s further incresss ia rates shall not bo. mada, and it the roports of Vanderbilt's perBdy are confirmed, the pool will hardly laet until tho openibg of navigation, and the ruada will agaln go into nctive compotition, thua 1n- euring roasonable ratea to tho shippers of the Northwost.
