He has arrayed the coborts for war, and threatens bat- E tle to the knife and hilt. . THE STATEMENT OF TIE GRICVANCES X get from Pullitzer himself, together with_the names ol the agorieved. He says that'the Southern faction having the pl 1 balance in Congress, have announted their irm resolve to assume the control. They have *“waited for Jjustice ” long cuough, and they now propose to wrest it from the man who deceived thew with Talse promises. As Pullitzer puts it, they will claim before ‘the country: 1. That Randal is incompetent to till the Speaker’s chair; that he is utterly withou intellicence, and that all that can be said of him is that be knows a little Toutine. 2. That he is politically dishonest; nat he has failed to advocate a single measure ‘o which he pledeed bimself, but has on the “contrary used his position to defeat the schemes in aid of which be had promised s influence. 3. That he is not a Democrat, and it is impossible for him to be oue, as the history_of the party docs uot furnish an in- which Pennisylvania has provided one of the ilk. That looks like a tty solid ar- raignment, and the disg led “are hocing arcunl for converts to their **no Hell, no Ran-~ wall 7 doctrive.

Their partyis a chaotic ‘mass of mediocrity, cach man knowing that heis Jully as capable of runninz the machine as auy .of the rest, and the result is coolusion and anarchy, disturbunce and riot.

REES agreed with the last speaker as to Iree coinage, but thought that he was wrong asto the decline in the bullion value of silver. That, he believed, was caused princfpally by the demonetization of silver in Germany.

ME. D. K. TENNEY, premisiog that althouzn he had been written up as a person densely ignorant of the ques- tion, he really koew all about it, and that he was ' the friend and champion of the working- wmnan, proceeded to state that his especial elient, would lose 10 per cent of his day’s wages by the remouctization of silver. Articles of encral consumption would increase in price, and the workingman who received a silver doltar for his day’s work would only be able to purchase 30 cents' worth of flour or eroceries with it, Bunk- ers were in favor of u gold standard, aithough constituting asthey do adebtorclass; they could pay their debts chéaper in silver.

Some of the Discouragements the Pool Com- ~ pination ¥as to Contend With. Spectal Disvatch to The Clacazn Tribune. New Youx, Jan. 19.—Rwmors regarding tne cutting of freight-rates arc numerous and con- tinued. The bulk of the charses is ageinst the Grand Truuk, oltenthe leaderin past * breais. ‘The merchants and mauufacturers of tie . East are not Jess anious than those West to in- ‘augurate another war for cheap rates, and use every means koown to “cut® the tariff. The BOSTON AND -VIOINITY. - & Times says: “The Grand Trunk Railway of |- Canada has opemed a mew route, or resurrccted 3 very old oue, via the Maine Steamsbip Company’s steamers to Port- land, and thence by rail. They had to offer i ducements. As near ascan be learned they have made a contract for freight to varlous points iuthe West at a rebate as follows: Twenty cents on first-class, 15 cents on second, 10 cents on third, and 5 to§ cents on fourth- class from the Chicago basis of the all-rail pool- lines; thatis,rates to the Chicago pool-| First-class, $1; second-class, S0 cent class, 60 cents; fourth-cluss, Grand Truok, via Portland, Me. S0 cents; second-class, G5 cents; third-class, 50 cents; fourth class, 40 cents. The rates in- clude insurance to Portiand, whicli Is covered by open poliey on the carro. Beyvona Chicago they use tac rates of conneeting lines the same as the all-rail routes. Therefore these facts must be taken into consideration in estimating the influence of this routc on the pool lines. They have to pay au arbitrary rate to the Port- land steamers. “They caunot pro-rate at present beyond Cisicazo, and the steamers leave only on Mendays and Thursdays, and are already so overcrowded that on the last trip clean first- class zoods were put in the cabin for want of room clsewhere. * But another factor, perhaps, overlooked by the pool, has arisen in the sction of certain Southern lines. These are the Green Line, via steamer to Charleston, and thence to St. Louis by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway, from Hickmau, Teun. They can thus get_goods throush in ien to twelve days from the day of sailing of the steamer. They are carrying large, quantities of dry-goods to St. Louis and beyond by councetions, as the rate by rail to-that city is §1.27and they take it at 75 cents per 100 1bs, ‘Another way is yia Mallory’s steamer to Port Royul, and” they” are etting a larger pro- ;)urtiou of heavier frexght thau the Charleston linc. Another way is by steamer and sailing-ves- &el to New Orleans, and thence up the Missis- sippi. Not many first-class goods have gone by this route, but heavy, cheap gouds are shipped frbclexy at about 35 cents per 100 pounds to Mem- | phis. 8o great a drain has this triple-headed com- petition become that the fast freight all-rail First-class, lines complain that bevond — a few very expeosive dry goods they are receiving almost nothing in thut line to St. Louis for several days. A further cause of troubie is the Jow rates from local points on the New York Central to the West. It is said that the Northern lines in the pool on}New York freizhts seize this chance to cut rates West on these goods, and that as much as 60 per cent Tas been cut on goods fromi local stations. Also that a New. Yorl house ships Western goods to “u branch house in Troy, and by reshipping there makes & Jarge profit, the local rates being 5o much lower to compete with the canals.
