There has been a slight improvement in east-bound freight shipments during the past week, but not enough to indicate any do- cided:change for the better. The shipments for the week ending Aug. 2S were 32,850 tons, against 20,431 tons the week previous. The total shipments for the corresponding week last year were 33,808 tons. But this time last year business was considered very dull, and the boom had not set in. Since thea there has been great prosperity all oyer the coun- try, and a general improvement in rail busi- MW At this time last year the roads from Indianapolis, ete., were doing but little business, but_ now those roads are en- jeying an immense «traffic, more than ray et the Chicago ag much as last fear, ronds are doing a smaller business than they go. ‘This shows that the forma- ¢ st-bound pool has had the effect of diverting business trom Chicago and fore- it on thé southwestern lines running east from Peoria, St. Louis, Indianapolis, etc. "There ean.be no doubt that, if it had not heen for the fact that the Chicago ‘lines are loing so small a business at present, an ad- vance in east-bound freight rates would have been decided at the late meeting of the Higi- Juints. Asit was, it was thought best to continue the old rates for a while longer, so as to not still further reduce the business of, the Eastern lines from this eit ‘The following statement shows the amount of tlour, grain, and provisions carried by the Eastern roads from this city du he week ending Aug. 2S: Grain,|Pr¢ Flour,|tons of|tons of| Total Dris. | 20001. |2000).| tons.

The Railroad Gazette has the following regarding the new Chicago apportionment: . The new Chicago apportionment bas been made public in detail, and the percentages of the several roads compared with those of the old apportion:ment are as follow: Freight Live New. Old. stock. Chicago & Grand Trunk. 10 on 8 Michigan Central... nt 31 28 Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.23 ai) Bh Pittsburg, Fe. Wayne & Chicago. .23 ca Bw Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis.10 Ww os Baltimore & Obio.... os 3 3 6 ‘The live-stock apportionment was made a fow months ago condidenal on the Grand ‘Trunk's entering the urrangement, and the recent de- elsion of. the arbitrators is simply a confifmn- vion of that conditional award. Tilsapportion- ment covers all shipments since Muy. Tho Grand Trunk since that time bas been aughor- ized to get whatever it could at full rates, and report. What it obtained will not be much dif- ferent from what was awarded it. But no trans- fers haye been made tor a long time, and con- sideruble ones are -necded to give some.of tho ronds their proper percentages to date, and the “evening ” ought to be done before there is an- other chanze in the tari. It will be seen that of the 10 per cent of freight awarded to tho Chicago & Grand 'frunk, 5 per cent comes trom the Michigan Con- tral, 3 from the Lake Shore, a3 id 2 from the Fort Wayne. As we noted Inst week, tho shipments of the year ending with May lust, at the current through: to New York, would have yiclued $12,520,000, ana every I per cent of it, therefore, $123.00. The Michigun Central's share of the nite is about 39 per cent, and tho 5 pee, cent of freight which it loses may therefuro © estimated equivalent to $192,000 of gross eurnings. Most of the live stuck that tho Chi- cago & Grand Trunk gets must also come out of it. The 8 per cent taken from the Michigan Central and the Lake Shore wus carried cast of Ruffalo chiefly by the New York Contral and the Erie, and they will both lose.—the. Central most. But even if it hud the whole of the 8 per cent und it all went to New York (and a very large share of it goes to New England), its carnings from this amount at tho current rates would be but about $480,000, which is about 1% percent of this road's income for the current yenr, aud not more than its increase of earnings in a single month this year. The Ponn- sylvanin’s loss over the whole line between Chica- ‘ew York would be $256.000in ayear. All these estimates of quantities are on tho basis of the lowest—the grain and flour—rates, and the lowest rates of this year at that, but not by any means the lowest rates of Inst year. Still, for the year ending with Muy Iast the grain rate doubtless averiged more than 30 cents; for nearly four months ft wes 40 cents, and this will more than make up for the time from Muy till Aug. 25, during which {t was slowly climbing from about 10 conts tow cents. Butit will not be safe to calculate that the average rate will be ag high herenfter- The price of grain is low, and though ft is moving forward in greater quantities than in any previons year, the ves~ gels on the lakes are not 50 occupied as to enable them to get high rates; and until uav- fgation closes thelr rates will limit tho rates which the _ railroads will bo able to get for grain. Then noxt season after navigation opens there will be a guod many new vessels on the lakes, and it is ex- tremely doubtful whether a 30-cent rate can be had then, On tho whole, we think the railroads willbe doing very welllf they get unwerago rate of 80 cents on grain for tho currens.crop yoar and thereafter under ordinary cireum- stances. The great bulk of the other through east-bound freigit pays five conts more per huudred, and the freight tralfic is not going to stop growing by any mesns: so the figures given above as the earnings of a given percentage of tho Chicago traftic aro doubtless considerably within the truth. . In live, stock, the Lake Shore, it will _be seen, has much the largest share. It carries to nearly every important Iive-stock market in the East, inchiding Pittsburg since the Pittsburg & Lake Erie was completed, which no other Chicago road does. The Bultimore & Ohio's share, a year ago or more, was taken from the Pennsylvania chietly, just as now the Chicago & Grand Trunk’s share is taken mostly from the Michl- gun Central. ‘4 WABASITT, ST.

Conusmus, O., Aug. 20.—With a great many people at the North the opinion seems to prevail that the writings of the editor of the Okolona States are bit the vaporings of a lunatic. The Democratif press of the North do all in their power to |help on and encour- uge this opinion. Now I wish to record as my honest and carefully-matured opinion, after a full quarter of a fear spent principal- ‘ly among the common! people of the rural districts of the Border States, that the Oko- Jona States but reflects the opinions of the inasses of the Democratic and ex-Rebel ele- ment of the South; and, now that-the two candidates for the Presidency are well in the field, Iagain recur to my note-book of con- yersations and observations during my recent Southern trip, My, Ddusi- ness took me into the _re- mote rural districts. I: saw and conversed with many a man who never was fifty miies beyond his native hills; ‘and the information Lobtained in this way was such as the ob- server who is confined to the railroads can never obtain. ~ . Inthe first place, I desire to convey the impression—which all who carefully study Southern: society will confirm—that here is more nearly seen the socioty that prevailed in the heart of Europe’ during the Middle Ages than anywhere else on the Western Continent. We find some men thoroughly fF educated, The leisure that was the necessary outcome of the slavery régie was often im- proved by the master in study and thought. "fhe superiority of intellect and education made the possessor, here as elsewhere in alt the history of the rage, a. Kiny—on asmall seale often, but neyertheless a King. These petty monarchs were, by the loss of slaves and wealth, dethroned in all the essen- tials of power which are the result of large: possessions; but they retained their nominal influence, and not. tll the present generation shall pass away will they cease to wield an untold influence in the alfairs of their neigh- horhood. These dethroned Princes still hold in sacred remembrance |the memory: of the rood and palny days before “the Yankee Var,” and anything with the stamp of. the North or the Union upon itis as cordially hated ag in the days of yore. ‘The “poor white trash,” who haye always depended upon these monarclis fdr whet information thy obtain of the workings of Goyernment gud the outside world, still follow them with remarkable subservience. The darkics, knowing that now as ever all the white men hate them, and would desire to rivet again their chains, refuse to fall in with the dictates of the petty des- pots, and so comes the trouble. The poor white trash ha the “niggers” beeauge they are now on an. equality with thefh- selves, The darkies always were better cared for and more reSpectable then. the non- slaveholding population; but.tbe whites had one great boon that the darkies could not enjoy,—they could vote. ‘The Constitutional “Amendments has taken this barrier away. One cold December day, in the heart of Missouri, I found one of these rural Kings without a Kingdom, who was discoursing vehemently to an attentive group who had gathered in a wayside grocery. He was telling of what would happen when once the Demoeracy regained the National power. 1 had stopped for the purpose of warning, and the coming in of a,stranger at first caused a slight interruption’ but, us I appeared not to be the least interested in what was going forward, he soon resumed: “We ean never do- much so long as the Dutch and niggers are permitted to run the post-ofiecs and everything else under this ankee Government. My idea is, that, hile we lieve that our cause was ju we must never let up in our work in one way and another until we get shut of ali the damned results of the Wah. ‘The Yankees beat us, and they don’t caleu- late to ever let us have a chance again. They disfranchised us, and placed the niggers and Duteh over us, just to make us feel that we were conquered. Eight yeurs they had it all their own way by not Jetting us have our right to voje; but we all have it now, and we will make it felt, alk about the Solid South,—our only hope for anything in the world'is in the sticking together and voting together, which weare doing. ‘The Yankees alwa the have disliked us, and done all they could to keep us in subjection. They reaped all the benefits of Slavery; by buying and man- ‘ufacturing or cotton, and then selling that and everything else back to us agnin at very high prices; and this they now keep up. They think they have us down, and propose to keep us there. ‘They howled about Slaver: until it beenme unpopular in the- land, ani finally bankrupted us, and threw the niggers out iodo nothing and be nobodies. They never can get 2 living alone, and damned if we'll help them, will we?” All along, approving nods of the various listeners were given to encourage the King as he went on. “This next year we must clect a Demo- cratic President. That will help us out more than anything else that can possibly happen, We must stand shoulder to shoul- der, and make ourselves felt. In case of a President of our own, We can get what wo want. The Democrats of the North know mighty well that they can do nothing with- oS out. us, and they will let us do pretty ‘much as we have a_ mind to. We can’t git shut of the damned Yanks; but we can in due time rule them, and then they wil be as submissive as they used to be in the good old days befo’ the Wah. I tell you, gentlemen, there is more than one way of gettin’ what we want. Some of the biggest things that have ever been done have come about through an elec- tion. If we hadn’t got to quarreling among ourselves, and let the danmed Yanks elect Abe Lincoln, we would still be living in the good old days when we had pes aves and Tun affairs to suit ourselves. Solid South is the very thing that we want and must have. If we had permitted our Democratic brethren of the North to do as we must do this year,—nominate a man from the North, —and then we had supported him whatever might come, we woul have been all right We kicked against Douglas in te lay. 1800, ‘and the result was we lost everything. The thing for us to do now is to allow the Northern Democrats to put. forward their man, and then rin hin when he is elected. It don’t do us any good to have one of our bie men in the Presidential chair, and then allow all the other offices to go to “the North. What we want is, to get the smaller offices when the election is over. It will be a good while be- fore we get everything back a3 we will want it; but we must be content to wait, The jdea of allof the Solid South being obliged to pay taxes and work hard to. raise money to pension the Yankee suldiers who fought us, while our poor widows and orphan chil- dren and cripples are allowed to starve, is an injustice which we cannot long endure with patience. I tell yqu the time is coming when all this must be changed. , We have as good right to pension our own soldiers as the fellows on the other side. have to look after theirs, Didn’t our boys fight 2s hard and gallantly? Wasn’t_- their causé as just? Didn’t we sympathize wth them as fully? Didu’t we suffer much more in the Joss of our slaves and the devastation of our towns and cities? Justice calls for an equality of these things; and, when the time-comes, we shall demand it. The North- ern soldiers have not only been pensioned in every way as fast ns they nave been found, but tay have now gone into the business of giving back pensions, reaching away back to the. time when the soldiers were first’ en- sted, I reckon itis, Have we no ri Shall we always be treated as aie ae were simply ninnies and nobodies in the world? 1 tell you the thing is all wrong, end the time is coming: when it must be righted; aud we are the men to right it.

Ihave smuggled in many and many a thousand of caps in the centre of cnd- dies of tobacco, and did what else I could in my weak way fo help along my cause. When the War was over my property was every cent of it gone; my slaves had run away years before the close; and I was disfran- chised for eight years. The niggers, whom" we had Idoked upon as not even human, were made our rulers. They could step up to. the polis and vote,—they were ‘given offices,—and we could do nothing. Iz we attempted to vote, they challenged us. I tell you you will find the sayings of the gentleman back there are just what all of us who know enough to put this and that togetherdo think.

P." in your last Sunday's issue said that *cight out of every ten Women could be bought for moncy,” and advises Mrs. Julia Ward Howe “ not to throw.stones. This comes from’ his “own observation” of quite a number of years. This he gives to de- fend the press. Where has “TT. P.” been living all these years? Did he fall to note (he is so ob- serving) that nearly eight out of every ten women who were bought were bought by men? Did he note that these men were hideous by Nature, and that their only aim in life was to destroy all that is good and beautiful? Did be notice how like vultures they were; how they were only satisfied when all around them was changed to carrion? Did he notice that those buyers of womun’s virtue loved vice so well, und by its contaminating intiuenco had become deud to all that was pure; that they, defore all other men, have more unblushing audacity; that their observation often stouls before the public to insult every household: because of tho freedom of the press? Did “ J.P." ever take the pains to measure the souls of such men? Did he see how near like silmy reptilos they were? Exuct- ingsuch a price for such a small mite of bread they gave? Did be see that every step they made was as a pestilence scourging n fulr lant Has he noted all of this in “his observation, and has he no pity? or has his own soul grown go small that e’en in such a dread plitce as Dante's Hell there is no room for such an lusignifiewnt soul to dwell? * Why did not *J. P.” go further with the mire he would throw upon the public and say, * All women can be bought, except my immediate relations?” Don’t be ufraid of a rawhide, “J.

Buying the Press and Buying Women. ‘To the Editor af The Chicago Tribune. Cnroaco, Aug. 28.—In Sunday's issue “J.

I care not to defend the remark of Mrs. Howe, for she is undoubtedly able to take cure of herself, but Ido want to “lift the hair” of the vile slanderer of my mothor's sex, andif there is a man in.Chicago or out of it who docs not waut to bring “J. P.” into close proximity. to the business end of oa mule, let him be accursed. .I had hoped “ J.

But the anti-Masonic Lodge of the A.C. A. seem to ignore the Apostie’s teaching altogether. They declare the lodge tobe asink of iniquity, and yet tack one on to their Association. They say Masonry and Masonic work is of the devil. and still they practice it, thus evidencing the truth that the children will do the work of thoirfather. They sct furth that Masonic oaths are blasphemous, and yet proGced to impose those plasphemous oblixations upon mock cun~ didates, and all this under the specious pretense of expuaing Masonry, ‘Their theory is, brietly stated, this: Masonry is a great sin, is blasphemous, and is of the devil, ete. Therefore they are called upon to practice the iniquity before tho world in order to expose it. ‘Twill name this illustrative reform. Now, T submit that there are other great sins. besides Masonry that need to be exposed, end to which the abore principle will apply just us aptly. If to push reform and éxpose sin we must pric- tice it for illustrative purposes, why, then, the eneniles of Masonry have put into my hands a Dlade that cuts more than one way. ‘Take polygumy, for instance.

Cmcaco, Aug. 28.—It is prinful for honest Catholics to reflect on the low, brutal, disgrace- ful squabbles growing out of the unlimited power of the priests and Bishops of the United States. No sooner isone scandal effaced from our memory thun we are regaled by some other piece of petty tyranny growing out of theirdesire to accumulate money too suddenly. A few Sundays back ‘Taz TrrBuxe contained an inter~ view with some poor immigrants just arrived, and they unfolded a tale of horror that savored of the Spanish Inquisition. According te these honest, poor Catholics the Catholic clergy of Ireland, instead of distributing the fvod and money intended tor the relief of our poor coun- trymen, appropriuted both the.money and rood to their own use, while the poor, struggiing victims suffered the pungs of starvation. It appeared from the statements of these poor men, that the land vacated by the poor people was immediately taken by tho priests und stocked with cattle purchased with the money sent over from America for the relief of our poor friends and relutives. Sierciful God! that Such an outrage should happen in this enlight- ened age, in the fuce of the civilized world, und that the inhuinan priests were not prostrated by the wrath of Heaven! Now, while the recolluc tions of those horrors are fresh in our memories we are entertained by another spectacle equally revolting on tho part of Bishop Uhatard towards the Ancient Order of Hibernians, who are placed uncet the ban of the Church for indulging against his wishes in the harmless mazes of the giddy dance. ‘That Order is composed of tho bess Catholics in the Church, and 1, a3 a member of it, bespeak the sentiment of tens of thousands when 1 denounce the outrageous and arbitrary conduct of this petty tyrant in the garb of Bishop.

He must, indeed, bea false God who would permit his vision to be vbscured by the insane ranting of. a Bishop‘or priest who wants to placc people under the ban of the Church who indulge ina much-needed recrea~ tion in opposition to his wishes. Whata farce is thia Pagan superstition in the light of intetli- gence! By what right do these ren overstep their uuthority? Is it because they happen to get authority froin some other superior, who gives them a chatte!-mortgageon the souls and bodica of the poor priest-ridden Irish?
