Tho extremely low rates of railroad
freight in 1875 were still farther reduc
ed iu 1S70. Tho average rate per too
per milo for the year's business, ex
cluding tho Chicago A Northwestern
(which has but 170 miles ia this State
out of 1,500 which it operates), was 9. '
M2 mills per ton per milea reduction
from the rate of the previous year of
2.1S mills per ton per mile. Had the
rate of 1875 been laaiuWined in 1870
throughout the State, tho earnings of
all tho roads wonld have been ST,tVJ,.
236 moro than they were a loss of
alMiut a 3) per cent, dividend on the
total capital stock invested iu Michi
gan railroads. Tho average rate of
different lines for through traffic was
.7 mills per ton ier milo for the De
troit A Milwaukee, C.12 mills for the
Lake Shoro A Michigan Southern. CA
mills for the Michigan Cuutral. The
local traflio of the D. A M. paid 2.H
cents er too per mile; of tho Ii. S. A
M. S. 9.2(1 mills; and of the M. O. 2.08
cents per ton per milo. The average
rates of all freight carried on theso
three roads were 1.29 cents per mile
for tho D. A M., 8.1H mills for the L.
S. A M. H., 8.0i mills for the M. C.
In no other State has tho pressure
for cheap freight, coupled with sharp
eonq titlon and an overplus of rail
road facilities, brought the freight tar
III down to so low a point. In Wis
consin tho average for tho bnsiness
done in the State was 2.1 4 cents per
ton per mile; in Ohio, it was 1.17 cents
per mile; in Connecticut, C5 cents,
with the lowest average rato on the
New London A Northern, 2. OH. Tho
average rates in Michigan were Ies
than tho through rates on tho princi
pal roads in Massachusetts, the lioston
A Albany having received 9.G mills per
ton per" mile, and an average of 1.2H
cents.
lu fcpite of the extreme economy
with which onr Michigan roads con
ducted their bnsiness, and a reduction
of eipeuses of 52,700,000, they wero
unable as a whole to make any returns
on their investments, aud in but few
eases even to pay the interest on thtlr
bonds.
ITLRLNKAOC IN VAU T.S.
The commissioner, in view of the
generally admitted shrinkage in values
f all other procrty, calls on railroad
companies to reduce their bharea of
stocks and bonds dowa to tho figures
for which equally good lina cau be
built and cquipied to-dar.
He says that a reorganization of non
paying roads could bo made on a basis
of 'real instead of fictitious value, and
wo would then have capital stock and
bonds representing substance instead
of rdiadow. He believes that a sound
an.l conservative liuaucisl policy re
quires that all ncu-paying roads should
bo reorganized ou such a basis that
every dollar of stock and debt may rep
resent n real dollar of valuable proper
ty. When this is done, fair aud hon
est dividends may bo realized on the
actual investmsnt. There is now aa
excels of bonds and fdock over the
cost of roads, amounting toSl9,50r),
514, less the unfunded debt, which can
only be paid by an increase of bonded
debt, and which is constantly swelling
the growth of unfunded debt, land
holders and stockholders should alike
recognize the necessity for a solid ba
h., r.ud should coo per a to in bringing
it about, and relieve themselves of this
eve r increasing burden of unfunded
debt.
BTRIKES.
Tho commissioner congratulates the
pcoplo of Michigan on having escaped,
through tho good sens and judgment
both of the railroad officers aud men,
and tlio Joretuotiglit aud prudence oi
the State government, any such un
seemly and terriblo scenes as wero pre
sented in eister States, of civil disor-
ler, anarchy, and murder. Ho trnsts
that the time rosy speedily come
whu both labor and capital will each
receive its dno reward, and the idea of
any conflict between them bo turned
over to that class of demagogues who,
possessed of neither, wonld fatten at
the expense of both."

fclllluf Hull asd Ills Fwr.
A recent dispatch ia the New York
Herald, detailing the experiences of
the Commisaion sent out to treat with
Sitting Dull, corrects some of the pop
ular impressions concerning that er
sonage, and sneaks of him as follows:
Sitting Hull has never been either a
Chief or a warrior, and yet his intlu
enco over his tribe is stronger than
that which he would exercise in either
of those capacities. The head aoldier
ia not Sitting Hull, but Long Dog, ono
of the most notorious of tho Sioux
Chiefs. Though he is neither n Chief
nor a warrior. Sitting Hull is a necrom
ancer. He is a "medicino man" of
such uncommon ability aa to havo re
tained his rower for ten consecutive
years. Ia this respect his Ksitiou as
the counsellor of his peoplo is greater
than that of any Cabinet Minister in
the civilized world. Yet his course has
been extremely simple. He merely
marked out a clear lino of policy, anil
had the pluck to pursue it under all
circumstances, lie said in 1W7, "Let
us have nothing to do with tho Ameri
cans; let us make no peaco with them;
let us live and die like Indians." Ad
hering to this policy, never swerving
from it, always succeeding with it, ho
has naturally carried his people with
him. This the secret of his power and
of the apparent infallibility of his ad
vice. His dictum is relied on in every
emergency, his dreams aro reckoned by
tho Sioux around him as more infalli
ble than Newton's tests or Herschel's
observations. His omens of the war
path, his prescience regarding the buf
falo and other game have never failed
him. Consequently he is to-day as so-
cure in his dominion over the minds
and fears of those about him as the
War Chiefs are in tho confidence of
their followers in battle. Indeed, he
directs the events of war and peace
with the skill of a Senate and the
ontlority of a President united in one
man.
Two or Ihreo days prior to his Jo-
farturo from his own camp Sitting
lull had lost a son. Ho was, there
fore, in monrning, which was signified
by a red handkerchief, wound around
his head, as ho sat in a corner, myster
ious as ever, among the shadows.
Throughout tho night-a bright moon
light one abovo the roof and walls that
encompassed him and his Chiefs ho
mado "medicino" and told Cis dreams.
Near him was tuiaatted a solitary
squaw, who moaned and groaned occa
sionally ia response to his adjurations.
In tho meantime sentinels passed to
and fro. 'Ihe calls of the night sound
eJ, and the decision between peace and
war, on the part of 2,030 savages, Ish
maelites and outlaws, in repect to the
jeoplo of tho United States, waited in
the brain of their ablest man. There
ho sat on a dirty floor In his blankets,
in rapt meditation, mute and motion
less. .....
At three o'clock Sitting entered, fol
lowed by Spotted Eagle and the rest of
his traiu. row for tho first timo was
visible to white men since tho begin
ning of the late Indian wars the most
noted Indian of the period, and now
was taodo real Cooper's often derided
vision of an Indian's face. Neither ig
norance nor cruelty nor savages as barj
barons as any displayed in savage his
tory has detracted in tho least from the
expression of manhood and womanli
ness combined in Sitting bull's physi
ognomy. Less rude than SatanU's,
less fcharp than Spotted Tail's, moro
intelligent than lied Cloud's, his fea
tures, like (toethe'i, made music to the
senses. Ho wore a quiet, ironical
smile. His black hair streamed down
along his beardless and swarthy cheeks
over clean-cut ears not burdened with
ornaments. His red mourning hand
kerchief was replaced by a wolf-skin
cap. His shirt was a black calico
speckled with whito dots. His blank
ets wraped negligently around him re
vealed below its edge a pair of rich
beaded moccasins, the only finery he
wore. Silent, stately and impassive,
this aloriginal leader, this scoundrelly
'medicine man, this rascally foe and
treacherous friend, this model, in sooth
of Machiavelli's own sort, squatted
himself on a buffalo robe next tiie wall
and took out his pipe and smoked it,
and expressed, with his insolent man
ner, the following sentiment: "This
Commission which has come to inter
view me can go to tho devil."
A Mlld.ru. in Central Alrlcn.
In his conversation with me at Uiiji
Livingstone ascribed much just praise
to all of the region west of Ooma
Mountsins. It is a most remarkable
region more remarkable than anything
I havo seen in Africa. Its woods or
forests or jungles or bush I do not
know by what particular tern to desig
nate the crowded, tall, straight trees
rising from an impenetrable under-
crowth of bush, creeier8, thorns.
gums, palms, fronds, canes and grass
are sublime, even terrible, indeed.
Nature hero is either rematkable cr
savagely Wautiful. At a distance
everything looks charming. Take your
stand on any emtneuce or coigno oi
vantage for view-seeing yon may please
be it the crest of a ridge, tho summit
of a hill, tho crown of a rock, and if
yon look around, you will find yourself
leliffhted. facinated. A hundred or a
thousand different outlines aro in view
of ridges and ranges, peakes and cones
the boldly waving or softly rolling of
gradual or abrupt slope of mounds,
little patches of levels, of the grand
and picturesque, in bewildering diver
sity of form. You will exclaim that
yon see tl'e splendor of the tropics
that you have caught nature rejoicing
and happy. Over all sue has hang a
robe of varying green; the hills and
rtdge are blooming; tho valleys and
basins exhale perfume: tho rocks wear
trarlands of creevsers; tho stems of tho
trees sre clothed with mosses; a thons-
snd streamlets of pure, cold water
stray now languid, now quick, toward
the north and south and west. A tie
whole makes a pleasing, charming il
lnst'ntion of the bonnteonsness and
wild beauty of tropical Nature.
Look closer and annslyze ad this,
that yon may find how deceptive is
distance. I he grasses are coarse and
high and thick. They form a minis
tnre copy of sn African forest. Their
spear-like blal.s wound like knives
and their points like needles; the reeds
are tall and rough as bamboo; in those
tirettv lookinur bushes are thorns tru
ly the thorns are hooks of stel; the
crown of that yonder low lull with sncb
a gentle slopo is all bnt inaccessible.
See that trlorions crop ef crimson flo
ers on that low bnsh in the middle of
the lawn green. Pause, my friend, he
fore yon ventnre to pluck them. First,
that lawn is a deception; it is a forest
of tall trees you see, and that Wautiful
gorgeous poison i.uan is nearly iniriy
feet higii. and those green banks of
vegetation in those hollows are almost
impenetrable forest belts. II. M
