rmt up rates at any time and extort money from shippers, and that a raise of five cents a hundred in the cost of transportation of grain would give a gain of $45,000,000 to the railroads. This statement was copied extensively throughout the country. This was based on a wrong estimate, as the raise of five cents referred to had only brought in $2,800,000. Besides there were always reductions corresponding to the increase of rates. Fluctuation in grain was between thirty-five and twenty-five cents per hundred; it never went beyond these limits, and the rate was now at its lowest limit. The witness did not think it was any evidence that a road was charging too high rates, that the road was paying 20 per cent, dividends on its stock. The only thing to be regarded was the rates. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Globe, a colored organ, testified that educational facilities in the South were very poor, and he advocated national appropriations for that object. He condemned the strict labor system of the South, and thought an investigating committee should be appointed to inquire into the matter thoroughly. SPOUTING MATTERS.

Clark was appointed clerk, with Lucinda Edwards for assistant Credentials were read for E. J. Collins and S. C. Collins from New England Yearly Meeting. The meeting listened to the report on ministry and oversight. The queries with the answers from the quarterly meetings were taken up and read. The answers indicated some deficiency in the matter of unity and faithfulness in family training. The meeting discussed at great length the policy of a change in the pastoral and evangelistic work of the church, the question being whether the church should not organize pastoral circuits similar to those of the Methodist church. The general drift of the meeting seemed to be in favor of the change, but the move was stoutly opposed by a few. The matter was referred to the committee on pastoral and evangelical work for future action. The meeting adjourned until 1:30 o’clock. The afternoon meeting assembled according to adjournment. The meeting took up the subject of means for the prosecution of the work during the coming year, and succeeded in raising near $1,200 for the work. The meeting adjourned at 3 o'clock, to meet tomorrow at 10 o'clock in joint session. A mistake was made in the report of Saturday's proceedings, in saying that Vincennes was the pluce of establishment of the new quarterly meeting. The locality is in Illinois, near Vincennes. The Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society met after the adjournment of meeting and transacted the business connected therewith. The meeting will again be thrown open to the public on Wednesday, and preparations are making for a grand meeting.

The railroad and warehouse commissioners are to be in session again to-morrow to complete the revision of the schedule of freight rates for the State. It is not known what ; detailed changes will be made, but there is | good authority for saying that one important item of alteration will be the establishment of a rate to be known as the “shipper’s risk.” The effect of this will be 'o allow the shipper to avail himself, practically, of the next rate below that in which his goods would be rated if shipped at the carrier’s risk. It is claimed that this alteration will be of great advantage to shippers, there being certain classes of goods which, at certain seasons, shippers would send at their own risk if they obtained any advantage on rates by doing so.

He bad Concluded, however, that tiie job was too risky, and had determined to give the gang away. Mr. Chappell questioned the man closely, and found him well informed regarding the interior arrangements of the treasurers office and the number of persons likelv to be present at the hour set for tlie robbery. After making an appointment for another interview with the man at 8 o’clock in the evening, Mr. Chappell went to his office and informed his chief clerk of what had happened. He then laid the matter before Deputy Warden Bradbury, of the penitentiary, who quickly recognized the man as a notorious crook known us Dutch Gharlev, who had served several terms in the Missouri and other penitentiaries. Tiie man failed to keep his appointment with tiie Treasurer, and tlie question among officials now is whether he was hoaxing Mr. Chappell or whether there really was a plan to rob the treasury.
