Some Noteworthy Things that Meot a Traveler's Eye -The Railroad Systom. . Corresp o PhiladIphia Record At the present time, when there is and in this country in regard to Mexico, any reliable information state ment of actual facts eannot be other than been written in flower Eldorado that the writer determined to proceed there. The following gleanings are from personal observa- tion and information obtained from others long resident in the country, and are thoroughly reliable: 1 landed at Vera Cruz, that hot-bed of yellow fever, a city that this dis- easo did not leave last year after it died out as usual in the colder months of the year at New Orleans, I and other infected ports of the West ia islands. Vera Cruz is the ter- port agreed upon’ in the recent fons accured by General Grant from the Mexican government, for the Mexican Southern railroad. Leav ing at midnight, we proceeded to the City of Mexico by the Vern Cruz & Mexico railway, o distance of 203 miles, through the wildest and grand- est mountain scenery yet traversed by rail. The journey consupmes about slxteen hours. The ascent to Orizaba is about 8,000 feet, and then the train moves over a lovely and fortile plain, continuing into the City of Mexico. But how was this fertile plain utilized? Not a blade of any cereal growing on it, nothing but plantations of the pulque, or maguey plant, an immense de- scription of “the cactus, which after four years growth {ivl\l: a semi-milky fluid “much prized by the natives for its intoxicating qualities. Tt is fer- mented, and to a novice has an offen- sive smell and disgusting taste, An agquired taste must certainly in time be had for it, judging from its great popularity. These pulque plantations yield far more profit than would any description of grain or ordinary farm produce, and so it monopol the land to tho exclusion of everything else. An idea of its importance may be ganed from the fact that there are special trains run daily for its convey- to the city. All along the route h the eclevated plateau natives are to be seen whose condition for the most part bears ample testimony to tho inchriating properties of this drink. They were collecting the juice, superintending its fermentation and filling hoeskins, in which it is car- ried. The skin is removed from the animal entire, and when full resembles the hving animal, the extremities of the legs being tied with fibre obtained from the same plant. One startling feature of the journey, siguificant of the state of the country, is the fact that as each station a com- pany of mounted soldivrs stand guard over the train, while for additional se- curity a body of military accompanics each train, ~ At the different stations a number of Indian wowmen offer for sule to the passengers small burnt- clay images and relics of the Aztees dug from the graves of their ancestors; avariety of fruits—oranges, bu- 8, chirimoyas and edibles cooked in the fashion ot the country, promi- nent among which is the “tortilla,” a corn cake baked in fat. Tt is along, fatiguing and extremely dusty ride, and you ar in the City of Mexico in the evening of the second day, cov- ered with dust, thoroughly exhausted and cramped from sitting in the con- fined English coaches, locked in be- [ tween stations, while the train is winding its way over frightful chasms, where you can look down from the windows thousands of feet below until sight islost in the misty distance, The re no conveniences. It was | torture to us men; how the ladies of | the party must have suffered none but 8o much excitement enthusiasm and wise desirable, So much has praise of that themsclves know: Leaving Vera Cruz the temperaturo is tropical, but as we ascend the mountains the cold becomes intense. Not ex- | pecting any such change of tempera- | ture, most of our party had allowed their overcoats to be stowed away with the rest of their baggage in the lug- gage van, And here we were made acquainted with the aptness of the native officials to discipline ; upon no account were we allowed to take our coats out, This railroad was constructed by English capitalists, and completed in about ten years, It cost $40,000,000. Upon £20,000,000 of this it pays a dividend of } per cent, per annum; upon the other $10,000,000 nothing. This road quite recently, I am in- formed, has been purchased by Ameri- cans, and will form part of the new American enterprise. There is only one passenger train each way per day. The fare, first class, is $16; second, $12, and third class, $8. The for freight are exorbitant, in some cases amounting to as much as £70 per ton, What the prospocts are for the new roads, in the matter of patron; and dividgnd, running, as they will, through a country where nothing is yet produced, is difficult to conjecture, The land, 1 am m- formed, is not adapted to the growth of sugar-cane or coffee, two of the | commodities largely advocated, The ‘lv\']l where theso can be profitably grown is confined to a lower, hotter on and 1 r the coast, lec crras Callent Insecurity of life isone of the great drawbacks to settling in Mexico, It is not safe for a person to move outside of the city of Mexico unless | going with a party well armed, not alone with revolvers but with repeat | ing rifles. Every enginoer who goes out in the field i3 thus equipped, but even then they are sometimes waylaid and murdered, or, at least robbed and maltreated by the hordes of bandite who infest the outskirts of the pringi- uxl towns. It will take years to make exico a pleasantly habitable country for any but those of lawless proclivi- ties. Immigration to the country will now do for those who like frontier life, but not for people secking quiet homes. The government is powerless to correct the evil for the chiefs of the present bandits may be in powerthem- selves any day.

So much real misery is not to be found in the wholo region of South Amcrica. 1 traveled through Brazil, Peru, Chili, | Ecuador, Venezuela, United States of | Columbia, and all thr the West Tudia Islands, and T never met with 80 much abject poverty as i the City of Mexico. The inhabitauts seem to have fallen to such a depth of human degredation as to have lost all hope of any better existence, or to believe that there could be anything different. Can we wonder, then, at their bandit ife? Ido not remember of seeing a beggar, as such, in Mexico. There were thousands all around you, but they asked for nothing. The sanitary condition of the city is not favorable to health. The site be- ing lower than the surrounding lakes imperfect drainage is tho result. Water can be obtained anywhere in the city by digging a few feet in the ground. Were it not for the high el- evation it would possess all the r quirements for a first-class yollow fe- ver district. Of course this valley could be drained, and many proposals have been submitted to that eflect. The amount of land which could be recoveredwould be about 12,000 acres, having a value at present prices of about $100,000, but it would cost about five times that amount to drain it, and hence the delay. The population of Mexico is about 9,500,000, three-fifths of whom are Indians. The City of Moxico is esti- mated to be the home of 225,000 per- sons, The mortality, compiled from statistics extending over a period of ten years, is very evenly distributed throughout the four seasons, averag- ing about 4 per cent. of the population per annum,or about 9,000 deaths from all causes, The average duration of life is 26.4 years, The most frequent und fatal diseases are pneumenia and dmrrheea, which carry off fully one- half of those who die: next come pul- monary consumption and typhus and intermittent fevers. About 3,600 died from smallpox from the year 1869 to 1872, In ths year 1870 there averaged one death per day from bronchitis, and the same. from whooping-covgh. April is the warmest month, the temperature rising to 90 Fahrenheit, the minimum temperature showing December is the coldest month, ranging from 30 to a maximum of 72. The general yearly average is 61. | The total annual imports into Mex- ico, reduced to the standard of Amer- | can gold, amount in gross to 816,640, 000, There is, however, considerable contraband trade carried on all along the American frontier, particularly across the Rio Grande. The value of goods smuggled into Mexico has been computed at about $1,000,000 per | annum, and thero is Rmbnbly a mil- lion and a half of Mexican silver| each yoar. Travelers are not permit- ted to take with them over| £99.99 in Mexican silver. Anyso| unlucky as to have over this amount | will have the whole confiscated, and | there ig no remedy.

Salt Lake Tribune The railroad papers are falling swiftly into live to convinco the pub lic that the ground taken by one or two railroad magnates during tho past fow months, that ownership in rail roads ir precisely like ownership in ivate business; that tho man s of railroads have no more ¢ nts than the managers of a gro store. This theory is not contrary to law, but it is a dir sult to the intelligence of the To admit such a proposition is to as. | sort that it is possiblo for a combina- | tion of wealthy men to deliberately and porsistently ruin individuals and communitics, to build up the and destroy the independent anda that there is no redress. a state grants a charter to a railroad company, what is given up! Tho| state in etloct says: This company is liereby given the following privileges The right of way wherever it may please to run its track. 3 The right to enter any man's premi 08, to go through his lawn, between and front gate, or cut off | tho corner of his barn, or to destroy his garden, by paying the market value of the land and such damages as it may inflict upon structures, The right to destroy the business of all teamsters along the line of road. | Tho right to crush ont all stage and express lines, | The right to crush or drive away blacksmiths, wagon-makers and various other mechanics. The right to crush out prosperous nlets and,concentrate trade in great citios, The right to loeate towns, which carrios with it theright to crush other towns and compel the people to pur- chase new homes and places of busi- ness from the radroad company, The right fo protection from law- lessuess, and the rizht to collect dam- ages in case of loss of property through mobs or strikes. These are only a part of the privi- loges grauted by a vailroad character. No other formn of corporation has such privileg: Does any one sup- pose the foregoing are the froe gifts of a state! Notd They are simply part of the terms of an implied con- tract. In consideration of the fore- going and cther privileges the railroad company is bound under that law to the following: To periorm perfectly the duties of a common carrier, That includes the duty of dealing by A precisely as Bis dealt by, To deal by one town precisely as other towns on the same line are dealt by. And as states have often, and always legally, restricted banks and interest to a certain por centage per annum; 80 the railroad, which draws its pat- ronage from the entire community, is by the same rule—public policy—restricted from charging more for fares and freights than will yield working expenses, repairs and o fair interest on the actual cost of the road. What more than that is exacted isan infringement upon a well ostab- lished law and is robbery of tho pub- lie. The abuses which have grown wp are due to the ignorance of the peo- le touching their manitest rights, and to their cavelessness, And so, little by little, railroads have been permitted to water their stocks to represent from three and five times the original cost of the roads: to evade the payment of quito two-thirds of their honest taxes; to discriminate against individualy and nities; to charge rates on which absorb all the profits of the produces; to rival stage lines and sad- dle trains in fares—in &hort, to be- come engines of terror and oppression wherethey were intended for blessings. Through their ill-gotten gaing they have corrupted legislatures and con- gress; they have judges in overy state who are bound to them; some of the wembers of the supremo court of the United States are not above suspicion, and now in the pride of their power they have struck at the fountain-head of public opinion, the press; and in cevery state are ready and gifted pons, daily through the journals, flooding the country with railroad special plead- ings, disguiged in the form of edito- rials, 1f these cormorants were wise they would not forget themselves; would not forget that behind legisla- congress, the courts ana the the people are watching and waiting, and despite the eflorts to Keep them befogged, they are slowly being educated up to the point when they will fully understand their rights, When that time comes it will be for any who may bo in the way of slave | HL\H.‘ When slow to act, taking it by force.

Ameri- | can drafts last February were worth a prémum of 20 per cent, in the City of Mexico, Mexican dollars at Havana exchange for American gold at 90 cents, while in New York they are worth but about 85 cents, There isa great amount of romanoe about Mexico. 'I'ie reports as to the great wealth of that country are great ly exaggerated. The amount of work laid out by the U States to e executed in Mexico, in the matter of ilroads, awonnts to over $100,000, 000.
