Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. + WasnNgrox, D. C., July, 15.—The New York ' Céntral & Hudson River Railroad, in giving notice of discontinuing the fast-mail service, assigned the following reasons: It was the be- lief of the companies and the officers of the department that the advantage of rapid jrans- mission of mail would meet the nccessities and secure the approval of the people, and through them Congress, who would come forward and give such rates of compensation as would war- rant the Company in the continuance of rapid service. The speed, accugacy of time, freedom from interruption, and the popular deman@ it hos partially created and wholly satisfled, cannot be questioned. Congress, however, has by it action in reducling the rates of compensa- tion for raflroad mail transportation espressed. an unwillingness to provide a sufficient remun- eration, and therefore the companies arc oblig- ed to terminate the service. communication of similar import is also received from the offi- cers of the Pennsylvania Railrond Company.

DRMOCRACY WOUNBED IN ITS SOUTHERN WING. Special Dispatch to The Tridune. . WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15.—There was sn exceedingly lively debate in the House this af- ternoon, which thoroughly waked up bothsides, the majority on both sides having been nearly asleep for an hour over a very ordinary debate on the Texas border troubles. Mir. Smalls, o colored member from South Caroling, suddenly introduced an amendmendproviding: that none of the troops which might be taken for service upon the Texas borders should be withdrawn from South Carolina; where the rceent massecre 2t Hamburg showed they were 50 much needed to protect the lives of “colored citi- zeps. As part of his remarks, he caused to be read a newspaper statement giving theatroc- ities of the event in detailed form. While this was belng read there wasan immense amount of squirming on the. Democratic side. Mr. Bright, of Tenncssee, Ben Hill, of Georgis, and 2 number of others of their standing, affected to sncer at the recital. The majority, however, saw 3 A VERY DEEP SIGNIVICANCE in it to the Democratic party, and put their ‘heads together to meet the matter. A Georgia member sent up and hgd read a commiu- nication from Butler, who led the Con- federate force against the house where the colored men had taken refuge, attempting to break the force of the various true statements which have becn made concern- ing it. This, however, was immediately met by 3r. Rainey, another colored ‘member, who made @ very eloquent and foreible speceh, ending by reading, as & part of his remarks, an editorial from a leading Democratic gapcr in Georgia, copled into and indorsed by the lcadlnxi Demo- cratic papers in South Carolin: saying that the whites were the aggTessors, an a3 A GROSS OUTRAGE, AND, INEXCUSABLE. The two Northern members Wwho rushed to the assistance of their Southern brothers in_the attempt to weaken the foree of the disclosures which were being made through the reading of the publication, were Messrs. Cochrane, of Penusylvania, aund Cox, of New York. The Democrats, however, soon saw that they had a_case to explain, which it was exceedingly difficult to handle, and.which no gmount of protestation on their part could silence. Finally, in their desperation to get rid of 8 most unnoying and embarrassing. dcbate, they voted in a body that the Committee: should rise for the purpose of closing the debate, and, ‘having risen, they immediately adjourned. ROBESON. ‘FORTHCOMING REPORT OF HIS INVESTIGATORS. Speciat Disfatch to The Tribuse. WaSHINGTON, D. C., July 15.—The report of the Chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs is nearly ready, and will be- lald before the full Committee carly next week. The re- port makes a document of 300 pages, and willbe accompanied by a resolution, the precise nature of which is not yet determined. The Demo- cratic members of the Committee say that they have discovered evidence amply sufficient to warrant the impeachment of Secretary Robeson. They have not yet determined to make such recommendation, and it is quite likely that they will declore Robeson unfit to continue in office, but not recommending his lmpuwhmeng for the reason that the proof may not be sufficiently dircct and complete to_en- gble them to make out a case. The Republic- an members are preparing a minority report, Which will acquit Robeson of any dishomest Zetion, but It 13 mot certain that all the Repub- lican members of the Committee will sign it. One of the strongest points made in the masjority report will be the gwo{ that there is & deficit in the Bureauof Clothing and Pro- visions denouncing the of over o million dollars, which the officers of the Department cannot explain. —— JUDGE DAVIS? LETTER. AN EXPLANATION OF TIE DENIAL. * “Dispatch to New York Ezening Post. WasniNeToN, July 11.—During the absence of your regular correspondent here a denial of the statement that Judge Davis has written to a personal friend here that he shall support Hayes has appeared in the Associated Press dis- patches. Tn view of this denlal it is proper to say, that your correspondent first learned from a friend of Judge Davis that Mr. J. D. Defrecs had in his possession a Jetter from the Judge, in which he expressed satisfaction with the nomination of Hayes and said that e would support him. Mr. Defrecs was questioned, and, after expressing surprise that his possession of the letter should have become known, he sald that it was true that he had such a letter, written since the Cin- cinpatt Convention. He was opposed, however, to saying pointedly that Judge Davis had ex- pressed himsclf in writing, as it would no doubt annoy and embarrass ‘hime but, m:vcrt.hr.-lq_:fi he held such a letter, and it could not be denied. Tt is believed to be no secret that Mr. Defrees +was largely juflucnced by Judge Davis’ letter, which was private and ‘personal, and ?ot in- tended for publication, and that Defrees’ public Jetter declaring for Hayes and Whecler was de- termined on after he bad heard from Judge Davis. . Defrees holds such s letter as re- po’l;th:d"k%l\;l Judge Davis is not doubted here by those who knm\film, and the denial i8 ret as purely diplomatic and intended to relieve the Ji ngge from any suspicion _of ‘havins wfluc‘\:ln Jetter for the public eye- The denial px?bn y correct in saying thatnoletterhas been ¥ ritten Dby the Judge * onthe subject of politics,” 10 as- N tion having becn made that the letter to Mr. ;)ee(rzgs wns’ solely on the subject of ‘politics. iIt was a personal letter, in which, however, politics eferred to. “xfi*fi:’ oxflr;ew your correspondent, but to selvem'] others, has Mr. Defrees given assurances o hav- | ing recelved such a Ietter, and the contentswere does not indi-* communicated to a number of persol they were made public. pesaans bitare —— iy NOTES AND NEWS.

The Senate worked all day on the River and Harbor bill, and succeeded in loading it down with o large number of small ‘appropriations which had been once struck off by the Commit~ tee. A - Scnator from one State having obtained the restoration of all the little petjobs in his section, Scnators from other States fol- lowed, and claimed that the same should be done’ for them. The result of the day’s work was-to close it with a proposition to undo the whole, and pass the bill as it came from the House. The Seaate will start over again at this point on Monday. AVERT. There is a good deal of stir among a number of Washington correspondents who signed the Avery petition for pardon as individuals, and they now find themselves paraded as having signed as correspondents of their various news- papers. It has been ascertained by examnination of the petition that in nearly all cases the name of the newspaper had been added in a dil!emnthandwmiug after the name ol its corre- spondent. Some of Avery's friends fear that the new controversy over this matter, and the feeling it has aroused, will defeat the pardon. Others, however, profess to have absolute as- gurances that it will be granted very soon. NO THANES.

The whisky-men are furious, and Qeclare they will resist its destruction, as ordered by law. The liquor-dralers have formed themselves into Personal Liberty Leagues. To-night they held a large and en- thustastic meeting. In theirdeclaration of prin- ¢iples they announce that they will obey the but not the State law.

RUFUS HATCH. Another Letter from the Live- 1y Broad Street Broker. His Former Views More Elaborately Stated. Revolution Being Produced by Steel Rails ard Bonanza DMines. The Good Time Coming for Railroads and Bad Time - for Lake and Canal Navigation. 70 the Editor of The Tribune, New York, July 13.—3y friend Mr. — sent me a copy of Tme TRIBUNE of July 10, in Which you did me the compliment to produce a portion of my letter to him, all of which was merely a short outline of a fewof my crude ideas, not put in shape for publication; but to me they secem so plain and simple that any one who thinks for himself must realize their cor- rectoess. 1 send you herewith a more full and enlarged statement of the same subject, not elaborated for publication; but you are at liberty to make any use you sce fit of the *points " suggested. Commercial stagnation, panic,"and decline, have been the order of the day for the past four years, Everything has been at low cbb, but the flood-tide is now commencing. Few people arc aware that the statistics of the increase of the population of the United States for the past twenty-five years furnish the facts beyond auy-contravention that, in the year 1900, the population ‘of our country will exceed 100,000,000. [Estimating from the increase since 1860, our population will not be 80,000,000 in 1900.—Ep.] : Neither New England -nor the Southern At~ lantic States are increasing in population, but the centre of this Republic must be in the Mis- sissippi Valley and West, and the Capital of the Republic west of*the lakes. Steel rails have revolutionized modern rail- roading, and the same radical change, so far as cost of transportation is concerned, is now tak- ing place as when the railroads were first built, and stages and canal-boats superceded. A permanent way, and steel rails on & rafl- r0a, NOW means simpty Keeping the cars and engines in order, loading and unloeding the cars, hiring engneers, nremen, and brakemen, and buying the ‘coal to feed the es. t is yet'problematical how cheap passengers and freight can be transported on a railroad. They will Yoad cars in Illinois, Jowa, Wiscon- sin, and Minnesots, and unload them at the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad grain elevators on Manhattan Island. As Jabor has declined and will continue to de- cline [until times get better], with our increased population this. country will “produw enough Fheat, corn, and provisions to feed the world at 83 to 50 per cent of what any other nation can, and with our increased facilities for transporta- tion from the interior, at reduced rates, no other nation of the world wil be able to compete with us. Not over 10 per cent of the available farming- 1lands which are now contingent and tributary RonE St e e ut the per cent is fally & titncs greater than that s & " Cotion 15 no longer *King.” [Tt is still, and must continue to be, a powertul potentate, how- ever.—ED. Corn and wheat, and gold and silver, have taken its place. [Rather sapplemented it.— D. 80 far gs the grain product of the Northwest 18 concerned, there will No more charges or commissions for handling elther in Chicago or Buffalo(?). No more waiting for lake and canal naviga- tion to open. e demonstrated the error of this idea in Friday’s TRIBUNE.—ED.] No more intercst and insurance on grain stored in ChtmEo 1). . . No more mi t{l‘emen ‘between the producer and the exporter. [Middlemen can never be dispensed with in. the very nature of things.— En.] No more storms or insurance on the lakes, with steel rails and a ent way on thic trunk line to the seaboard. [The es will always be a highway of transportation.—ED.] The Grangers’ problem of “cheap transporta- tion is solved by a level road, a8 permanent Way, and steel rails. By this we mean such railroads as the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, and the Lake Shore Railroad, which are completed, and on which no more money is to be spent for construction. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad cannot be eonsidercd as a completed road, with a perma- nont way and steel rails, for, while_ claimin, be the champions of cheap transportation, they Are now t.rglng to borrow o large amount of money in New York to carry on their road and ‘bridge over their finances. e 5 1t 18 reported on good suthority that the New York Central & Hudson River -oad shows in June, 1876, nearly double the tonnage of June, 1874 and 1575, and there is a steady in- crease in the business of all the railroads of " the country as shown by their published earnings. INCREASED PRODUCTION OF PRECIOUS METALS. With the improved method of treatment of . ores, the production of gold and silver on the Pacific const will amount to from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 for the next twelve months, and there will be more gold and silyer produced in the next five years than there has been 1in the Iast twenty-five years. to thedifficulty in separating the ore, the Colorado mines have heretofore only paid 15 to 20 per cent of what the ore assayed, and in consequence work has been suspended. ‘But by the improved process recentlydiscovered they will now yield about #0 per cent of all the gold and silver conteined in the ore, ot a very greatly reduced expense, and work is now being recommenced in many of the mines, with the prospect of being enormously remunerative. One mine in Colorado, which only paid $106 per ton from_ore which agsayed 8700, by the new process is now yiclding 3600 per ton, and hundreds of thousands of tonsof ore, which ‘heretofore have been taken out and abandoned, being unprofitable to work, will now ‘undergo the new process, and prove immensely valuable. The whole Pacific slope is full of gold and sil- ver. The questions in the past-have been the cost of Iabor, the cost of supplics, and the way %o separate the ore from the Tock, and these are now being solved. "All these improvements and changes are the commencement of an inflation “to which the printing of greenbacks was only an mwpé’nn of what will ultimately ensue. Gold and silver being the commercial stan of all values throughout the world (silver being the standard of the East Indics, China, Jng‘sn South and Central America, more than onc] alf the population of the world) they will not de- cline, but every other commodity will advance to meet the increased supply of these measures of all other values. The recent decline in silver in London would indicate that China, Japan, and the East Indies are beginning to realize our increased S:Ep‘i!‘j. and must soon experience anadvance in eir productions. The whole of Earope is fully supplied with gold, as seen in the extreme Tow.rates of inter- ‘est prevailing at all the commercial centres, and the large amount _of gold on hand in all the financial cities of Europe. Money to-day in London is from1to 2 per cent per annum {.an call]. The Banks of France and England have over $500,000,000 of grold in their vaults. A'3 or 4 per cent dividend-paying security will be considered very cheap at par at ng distant day. All that our countryand the business men need now is encouragement through the press, and all the facts and statistics should be printe and laid before the ple, 50 that they may know the true condition of affairs. 1f the leading [New York] newspapers will now make the same effort, and devote the same space in their columus to ‘effect this as they did i0 1671, 1872, and 1873y when they were aiding in foisting upon the E&hlic nfuans of worthless ‘securities of all kinds [The Western Press engaged very sparingly in _this business—ED.] they will confer a benéfit upon the country, an +will in a measure compensate for the harm that was done at that time.
