10 THE POSTAL CAR DIFFICULTY. Meeting of the United States Senate on Transportation at the Fifth Ave" Evidence of Representatives Companies—Loud Comr” Postal Law—Rer ommittes ae Hotel— . of Railroad taints as to the zedies Proposed. .% Senate Cemmittee on Trans- vitited to take evidence as to the of (873 and the grievancé of the rail-/ @manies, met yesterday at the Fifth ae Hotel. : se ‘committee consisted of Senator Windom,, of Aeinesota, chairman; Senators Sherman, Cank- ‘ing, Casserly, Connover, Ames, Norwood, H. avis and Mitchell. Senators Ames and Norwood were not present yesterday, Mr. ©. C, Jones, Assistant Sergeant-at- Arms of the Senate; Mr. J. Newman, Clerk, and Mr. J. M. Davis, Assistant Superintendent of Rail- road Mail Service, were aiso preseut. The inaniry eiicited a decided ‘epposition ‘to the rates of the Postal Department tor postal cars, and an almost unanimous desire to return to the old. system of carrying mail matter in baggage cars, ‘unless more liberal terms could be obtained, Mr. Isaac Hinckley, Presidetit’of the Phitadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, the first wit- mess called, in the course of a lengthy ‘statement said:—in 1864 the railroad companies between Philadelphia, New York and Washington were in- @uced to put postsl cars on their reads en a verbal intimation from the Post Ofce Department that wthey would be remunerated; from that day to thie ‘they had been made to ebtaiu any remuneration; ‘the Raiiroad Convention in 1866 in its report said that there was great variety of service performed, ‘and in some cases very small mail matter was car- Tied, while other companies were obliged to carry heavy mails and five or six clerks on each trip; while some companies are paid $laton per mile for carrying mail matter in the feast expensive way, other companies are paid Jess than ten per cent for carrying mail matter in the most expensive manner; Mr. Hinck- fey read a number of extracts from reports and resolutions of this Convention, recommending cer- tain rates of payment tor mail matter; ‘269 railroad companies were paid one cent for car- Trying mail matter ninety-onemiles; ten of these ‘railroads carry over two hundred and twenty-four pounds at one cent per mile; ten of the roads carry two pounds one mile for “one cent; the postal cars are now on eighteen roads; not one cent is paid to these companies for furnishing these roads, while the fares of the clerks aione who travelled on these roads with ‘The United Str° portation, app’ Postal law road cr Aver’ these cars would, if they had paid their fares, paid | forty per cent of what the company had received tor mail service; in 1872 the railroad companies were aliowed by Congress un increase of fifty per cent for carrying mait matter, but as no appropriation had ever been passed they were not paid it, and the act was repealed in 1873; in consequence of this the railroad companies notified the Post OMmce Department that as they could not obtain second class rates they preferred to perform the service in baggage cars; in 1850 railroad companies were paid more when they carried one ton per day than they were paid new, when they carricd on an average thirteen tons per day; he guggested as a basis of compensations for mail sérvice that the roads be paid by measurement and not by weight, suchas is paid by the public; this would require but a simple process of computation, and the Post OMce Department would not use any more Bpace than they would pay for; the rate should not be less than thirteen mills per lineal foot per mile, whick would be equal to thirty-nine anda half cents per mile; one clerk to every ten feet of ostal car, abd One car agent to every baggage car; ost Ofice- agents should pay emigrant rates in passenger cars or buy season tickets. Mr. Huck- ley referred to aninterview in the HERALD With the Postmaster General, and said that he hoped that the statement of the Postmaster in that interview was a slander and that the Postmaster did not say that he wou!d take possession of railroad lines by United States troops. He hoped that was not true. Senator Casserly—What would be your opinion, as a practical question, of the government using postal cars, as they do mail bags? Mr. Huckley—Who is to be responsible in case of an accident? The government might send a car to me that would not be suitable, Senator Casserly—But, conceding that they did not do that, but sent a good car? Mr. Huckiey, aiter a number of inquiries and an- 8wers, ultimately said’ that as a practical question he did not believe that the saving woud be suiti- cient by government to cover the extra that it would necessarily have to pay the railroad com- panies in that case. In reply to the Chairman Mr. Huckley said that the expense per train was at the rate of $1 40 per mile on his road. J. Strickland Kneass, Acting President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, said he repre- sented the railroads between Philadeiplia and New York, and also the Pennsyl- vania Central; he had some figures based upon returns as to the roads between Philadelphia and New York, and said that on that road four trips were made with postal cars per day, four with compartment per day; aud ten trips in baggage cars per day: the postal, cars had lorty- eight feet in the clear, and the compartment cars ten feet; in the baggage cars the mail matter beng eed ten feet; that amounted to 232 tineal feet; they took in postal cars as passengers four or five clerks; in the compartment cars ene clerk; that was equivalent to carrying 639,250 men one mile a day per year; for that the road get 9.54 cents per mile; y the new jaw as to postal service they would get 11.13 cents per miie; now for express matter they got 82's cents per car per mile; for first class freight, 66 cents per car per mule; second class freight, 55 cents per car per mile; for third class freight, 44 cents, and for fourth class freight, 83 cents; the average Weight Was ten tons per car. Mr. D. Bishop, President of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, said that the Post Onice agent, Colonel Bangs, had stated that if the companies carried out their intention of withdrawing their postal cars the De- partment would require three times as much space as is now occupied and three or four times as many clerks as now necessary for the dis- tribution of the mail; on his line the compensation received, inciuding the allowance for the postal car, was fifteen cents per car per mile for a forty foot Bar; the average expense of a passenger train is about $1 40 per mile; average uumber of cars on a passenger train w , Making the average cost per car per mile 28c.; during the last month the average weight mail matter carried out of New York oy, has been about thirteen tons per day by his road; the postat cars were run at a very high rate of speed—about thirty-fiye miles per hour; the | time to New Haven was about two hours and fitty he suggested that the government should his road wonid old minute hay half fare tor their employ pregr to carry the mails jor nothing on the plan rather tian to supmit to the present rates, Mr. Chapin, of the Boston and Albany road, that the receipts per mile for postal ¢ road was at the rate of ten cents per mile; new rate it weuld hardiy be more than fourteen per | cent per mile; the American Express pays the road about twenty-three cents; ying the NEW’ YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, Ley a = ‘America (hat WAS & PYontiess journey to che roads and the Post OMice; ‘ne working expenses of the road was sixty-nine per cent. ‘Atter a short re examination of Mr. Buckley the committee adjov.rned to one o’ciock to-day. THE BAR ASSOCIATION. Reports of the Executive Committee and Treasurer—Elections and Nomina- ( tions—Discussion on Statutes. “phe Bar Association held it? regular monthly meeting last evening, Mr. William M, Evarts in the ) chair. The report of the Executive Committee was read by Mr, Macdonough, the more important part being a decision of the committee that it was inexpedient: to buy an old building for the new quarters of the society. It was preferable to buy lets and build, and subscriptions from members for the purckase of such lots were asked. ‘The Treasurer reported about $2,200 to the eredit of the general fund and $2,700 to the credit of the library fund, The members numbered 615. ‘The Committee on Admisstons reported the fol- lowing names, who were all elected :—Otis T. Hak, Sandford H. Steele, James Otis Hoyt, Richard M. ey George Putzam Smitn and Henry U. Look- 0 The Committee om the Amendment of the Laws, ef which Mr. Charles O*Conor is chairman, pre- sented several subjects on which suggestions of ‘amendments had been made to them, but‘only ‘united in recommending one offered by Mr. W. J. Newland, which substantially fellows an English act passed some twenty years ago, viz:— Comparison of a disputed writing with any writing roved to the satisfaction of the Judge to be genuine shal ¢ permitted to be made by witnesses, and the evidence of witnesses respecting the same may be submitted to the Courtand jury as evidence of the genuineness or other- wise of the writing in dispute. ‘The report was adopted and a motion was made that the Committee on Amendment ef the Laws be charged with the duty of presenting this to the Legislature, Mr. TRACY thought the past experience of the committee with the Legislature was not very en- « couraging, but that this act was one which would; commend itself. Jt was a very important amend- ment, and its advantages were proved by an ex- perience of nearly filty years in some States and twenty years in England, The resolution was adopted. Mr. DELAFIELD, from the Special Committee, on the le of the Indices of Records, reported that they had waited on the Comptroller to urge the carrying out of the law for their sale—he, vy the by, Nad calied it a foolisi law—but he had agreed Ty it out, and the rest would be sold this week, Mr. Evarrs stated that the Chair had been directed to appoint a committee to urge by proper means the constitutional change to be voted on this year by which the judges would be hereafter appointed in place of being elected, THe appointed on that committce Me: Himan, Dwight, Peck- ham, Clinton, Jolin A. rent and Mr. Mr. ALBEN P.

THE CURIOUS OLD Latin work of Henry Cornelius Agrippa, “On the Superiority of Woman Over Man,” will appear shortly in an English translation from Poole & Maclauchian’s press. DIALECT PoeMS are becoming quite the rage in England. ‘Betsey Lee; a Forecastle Yarn,” is a poem descriptive of Manx (the Isle of Man) sailor and farm life, which Macmillan will soon publish. THE LonDON Publishers’ Cireuiar, in noticing Charles Knight’s death, says he bad spent on authors, art, woodcuts, engravers, paper and print something like half a million pounds ($2,500,000). He started the Penny Magazine, published several editions of the “Penny Cyclopeedia,” besides many capital and sterling works of history and literature, Yet he died poor, and the great and rich British government, which pensions so many fourth-rate scribblers, never noticed nor rewarded the benefits, incalculable tn their results, which he had conferred upon his country. THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY decides that it is smuggling to import a copy of any book through the mails without payment of duty. But he does not point out how the duty 1s to be col- lected at the Post Office, Makk Twatn’s “Innocents Abroad’ was offered to half a dozen publishers without takers; but on being published by subscription 150,000 copies were sold without any diMcuity. MR. ANTHONY TROLLOPE, the inexhaustible, has begun a new story in the April Fortnightly Review, Can't the Fortnightly manage to survive even on the monthly basis without printing serial storles of the Trollope order? What is English review litera- ture coming to? THE TWENTY-NINTH edition of that clever satire, “Ginx’s Baby,” has appeared in London, The author’s new book, ‘“Lietchmee and Dilloo,”? has been postponed on account of the illness by ner- vous prostration of the author, Mr. Edward Jenkins, Dr. G.

There were two vacancies to be filled in the Roard of Education, and for the suffrages of the taxpayers the names of doin B, Haskin and John A. o'brien were presented on one ticket, their competitors being Morris Wilkins and Thomas 0, Woil, Mr. Haskin was a member of the last Board, Much to the dissatistaction of a large portion of the citizens, who had organized to defeat his re-election. Before the contest com. menced, however, Mr, Haskin proclained lumself chairman, and then ensued a ter- rife fight. The police charged the opposing | forees, and, after being partially repnised, suc- ceeded in fighting their way into the building, where they used their elabs’ right and left on the infurtated combatants, causing many of the latter | to retreat with cut heads, and rendering nearly & score hors de combat on the scene of confict, The farce of an eciection, however, was sone through with, each of the opposing parties having a separate box in which they deposited their bal- lots, The latter process was net concluded up toa | of this country, should endeavor to negotiate & tt ART MATTERS. > The Snedecor Sale—Conclusion To-Night, To-night is the last of the three evenings devoted to the sale of the Snedecor pictures at the Somer- ville Art Gallery.

Messrs. E. H, Ludlow & Co, had advertised the disposal of the estate of the late Lydia A.

Mr. Morris Wilkins, the auctioncer, had plenty of work on his hands in classifying the bids, He, however, handled the sale with considerable tact and ability, realizing good prices, and thereby establishing uniform and indicative ratesof property on this fine avenue, ‘The particulars of the various sales held yester- day will be found annexed, Considerable activity exists among brokers in rivate sales.
