SHE NEW "ItORR RAILROAD WAR.
Daniel Drew and Cornelius Vanderbilt are
rival money powers in New York city..
Each is enormously rich and each heads a
mighty railroad power. Drew represents the
Erie Railroad Company, and Vanderbilt the
Central and Hudson River Railway Compa
nies. The old struggle between these two
rival lines to secure the bulk of the western
trade has lately been carried on with unusual
vigor, and the contest has now assumed
almost the magnitude of a war. Vanderbilt
and his faction have tried to oust Drew and
Me faction from the management of the Erie,
so as to work the two lines to their own ad
vantage. Drew and his Directors, to avoid
legal interference, have led from New York
and established the • government of the
Erie in Jersey City, under the pro
tection of the State of New Jersey. There
Vag are safe from interference by Vander
bilt and a corrupt Judge of New York, wh
is reported to be a mere tool in the hands of
Vanderbilt, and an expectant of reward for his
services.
The Drew managers of the Erie, snugly en
trenched at Jersey City, are resorting to vari
ens expedients to bother the Vanderbilt
party. An order reducing fares and freight
Pates much below the expenses of working
the road, is the latest measure adopted. This
may serve as a temporary, annoyance, and
may draw travel and traffic from the Central
road. But the more travel and traffic
are crowded upon the Erie at prices
below the cost, of operating the road, the
'worse it will to for the Company. If
titre - through fare to -- Buffalo —continues - -
at five dollars, or about a cent a mile, there
must be a loss on every thousand passengers
of about five thousand dollars, and the larger
the business the heavier will be the loss.
under the circumstances the Central line
weld very well stand still, losing less by
masterly inactivity than its rival does by ex
missive activity. There must be a limit to
the Erie Company's ability to bear excessive
expenditure, and the patience of tho Vander
bilt party can probably stretch out so as to
%wait the reaching of that limit.
The general public that travels, and ships
and receives freights, must look with com
placency upon this desperate rivalry of the
two corporations. The longer it lasts the
better for this disinterested public. But the
stockholders of the two companies can hardly
regard it with so much satisfaction. They see
their property gambled for and depreci tied in
value, in a mere personal rivalry between two
rich but unscrupulous speculators. They
discover that either of these men has a power
to disturb the money market and disturb the
values of nearly all the securities that are in
the New York market. There is na great
moral or political principle involved in the
Drew and Vanderbilt fight. It is a simple
struggle for personal power between two
men, neither of whom can be called a very
useful citizen, though one has endowed a
college with his money, and the other has
done some princely deeds with his. After
all, the honest public cannot help reflecting
that the money thus expended has been ob
tained chiefly by speculative operations that
__were rs4ly___garablingestd._gambling,,ton„.
upon a gigantic scale, which ought to be re
garded as a wickeder sin than the gambling
that is done quietly and on a small scale at a
faro table. 'lt is a real calamity for a corn
sanity when the tremendous power of a gi
gantic corporation, like either of the great
New York railroad companies, can be
wielded by a man like Cornelius Vander
bilt or one like Daniel Drew. In this lati
tude the people look on with indifference at
the New York railway fight, and it is rather
amusing to note the various steps of the rival
railway kings, and to speculate as to the
ultimate termination of the fight. But there
at us t be many thousands of people nearer the
scene of action who are actual sufferers by
the prezenk struggle, and who must dread
fortherloss when it comes to an end. But
there seems to be no likelihocid of its coming
So an end so long as Drew and Vanderbilt
Nve, each striving to put down the other.
TEM TENNESSEE TROUBLES.
Governor Brownlow has replied to Secre
tary Stanton, with characteristic boldnym,
that he will take care of the Tenneasee rebels,
himself. He does not expect 'to call upon
General Thomas for Federal aid, although he
"MOWS that it will be promptly afforded him
Vit should be needed. Governor Brownlow
oenfirmis the intelligence that there is a wide;
*read organization- in his State which
ihreatenonaisehief, but he very wisely con
sludea that men who bald together under
such silly forms as those of the -- "lin Klux
4lan" cannot be very' formidable enemies,
and he is ready to put a prompt stop to any
wren% act of rebellion Co. civil disturbance by
the summary process of "an ex
ample that will not soon be for
a:Alen . 1 ' it may well be believed
that when Governor 13rownlow talks about
hanging outlaws and rebels, it means some
thing very different from those utterances of
Andrew Johnson's which have resulted in
liking so much respectability to trealsou.
This "Ks Klux Blatt" ie not calculated to
slaw pawn nua very Kriel/lay, 3t imvuri3
too much of the "S. T. 1860. X." . to be 'very
frightful. Mysterious orders, dated from the
"Den of Skulls,"and signed by the "Supreme
CyClops," or from "Devil's. Pit in Serpent
Bend," or "Wolf Hole," whence "0. A. P.
G. G. C*T - Mtns "Win. A." that—"Death's
angels aro always on the look out," are emi
nently characteristic of a certain type of the
Southern mind, to which respectable and
intelligent people have become to much
familiarized to be soared by it. The
K. K. K's" are . a very ridiculous set of
creatures, probably too lazy to earn decent
livings by work, and too cowardly to carry
out their villanies in any open and manly
way. Such vagabonds as these will fare badly
when they fall into the hands of Governor
Brownlow: That official is not over-burd
ened with an undue sensitiveness, and he
will undoubtedly find quick methods of
dealing with the first overt demonstration
that is made by these terrible bandits. It is
a little mortifying to be forced to admit that
there is such an clement in American society
as this. There is a mean and paltry littleness
about it. which does not seem to
belong to a young and robust
country like ours. Lawlessness and reckless
ness are not inconsistent with now commu
nities, but such manifestations of childishness
as are made by such organizations as this
"Ku Klux Klan" are unworthy of the
American character and of the stalwart age
in which we live. It is to be hoped that the
mysterious out-givings of these melodra
matic rascals will soon "come to a head."
There need be no fear that Governor Brown
low will fail to deal with them precisely as he
promised.
DEATH 01:' HON. DAVID WILIIOr.
The Hon. David Wilmot died at his real
'duce in Towanda on Monday last. Ho
had been in failing health for some time, but
he was confined to his bed but six days pre
vious to his death. Mr. Wilmot was born
at Bethany, Wayne county, Pa., January JO,
1814, and was consequently but fifty-four
years old at the period of hie death. He was
educated at Bethany and at Aurora, New
York. He studied law, and in 1834 was
admitted to the bar at Wilkesbarre, and
soon after removed to Towanda, 'Bra -
ford county, where he commenced the prac
tice of his profession and where he continued
to reside until his death.
Early in life he entered upon the stage of
politics, and he was an earnest supporter of
Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency in 1836.
He displayed much ability during the can
vass, and in 1844 he was elected to Congress
on the Democratic ticket as a representative
of the district composed of Bradford, Tioga
and Susquehanna counties. In 1846, and
again in 1848, he was re-elelected. During
his second term, pending the discussion of a
-bill -placing $2,000,000 at the disposal_of_
President Polk to negotiate a peace with
Mexico, he offered an amendment which was
known in the fierce agitation which followed
it, as the "Wilmot Proviso." The substance
of this proviso was a condition that in any
territory to be acquired by the
United States, by virtue of a
treaty with Mexico, slavery should
be forever forbidden. The House adopted
the amendment, but in the Senate its oppon
ents staved off action upon it until the close
of the session. The next session it was re
vived and it proved to be a source of excite
ment during the entire term. The House
again passed it and the Senate again failed to
take action upon it. In 1848, when Martin
Van Buren was the candidate of the Free
Soil party for President, Mr. Wilmot sup
ported him. In 1851, lie was elected Presi
dent Judge of the Thirteenth Judicial Dis
trict. This office he resigned in 1854 to
accept the nomination of the Free Soil party
for Governor. He was not elected to fill the
Gubernatorial chair. He was subsequently
re-elected to Congress, and continued to fit
the position with distinguished ability unto
his election to the United States Senate in
1861. In 1863,he was appointed a Judge of the
Court of Claims by President Lincoln, which
position becomes vacated by his death.
Judge Wilmot was a consistent and pow
erful opponent of the extension of slavery
from the period of the Mexican war, when
the object of the South in bringing about the
conflict became apparent. He struggled fir
the 'Treviso" while there was a chance fir
itp EUC ceskand yFhen_jt failed he opposed
with all his ability the iniquitous Kansas and
Nebraska bill of Mr. Douglas. In 1856, he
was a delegate to the National Republican
Convention which nominated General
Fremont for the Presidency, and his pea
drafted the platform of principles which was
the basis upon which was reared the great
Republican party that twice elected Abraham
Lincoln to the Presidency. The last im
portant public service of Judge Wilmot was
as United States Senator, when he was
elected to serve the remainder of the term
made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Came
ron. , He advocated an earnest prosecution of
the war and voted for confiscation.
Like all American statesmen who dared to
oppose the giant wrong of slavery when it
was fashionable, to uphold it, Mr. Wilmot's
name-was a target of constant abuse and
opprobrium. Impartial history will award
him the merit of honesty and earnestness of
purpose,and rank him among the bravest and
most powerful champions of freedom from
the time the determination of the South to
force the extension of slavery became evident;
to the period when the institution perished
through the madness of its advocates and
supporters.
BISHOP SVEVLNS.
119 many friends of Bishop Stevens will
be glad to learn that he rs rapidly improving
in health and strength, and so far from having
received permanent injuries, as has been re
ported, his. hurts are of a superficial charac
ter, and will be entirely cured. The Bishop's
physician asserts that his early and entire re
covery may be looked for, and that after his
enforced confinement and rest he will
probably be even stronger, and better able to
attend to his arduous duties, than he was be
fore the accident. Ile is still at the h wise of
Judge Conyngham, in Wilkesbarre, where
he receives the kindest attention.

The Walrussin. Purchase.
[Special Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
WastimoTon,i.lareh 19.—The postponement of
the Walrussia appiopriation matter until May
excites considerable comment in diplomatic cir
cles. The action of the Committee derives its
principal significance from the fact that, by the
terms of the treaty, the purchase - money is re
quired to be paid at the Treasury at Washington
within ten months from the ratification. As the
ratifications were exchanged on the 20th of June
last, the ten months expire on the 20th of Apt 1 ,
several weeks before the Committee even propos!.
to consider the subject.

Menem la—The money and stork markets have been
under much excitement to-ray. The premiere to borrow
money by the brokers was ?crewed from last Melt early
he the forenoon, and continued, though not without Pin
der coo of gradual relief, to the Ow of hank hours. The
rates (including extra commissions paid), were all the
way from 7to 19 per cent. The rate of 7 per cent. gold
interest, equal to 10 per cent per annum currenev,
was quoted as quite common. The , banks
nuder the National system are not obliged
to resort to this plan of charging over 7 per cent. They
can charge the extra Interest in CurrencY, or can discount
paper at extra rater, without incurring any ether penalty
than the return of the extra Interest, if sued for It by the
borrower. The local Banke , tinder the Now York laws,
se well as private lenders, are subject to the severer pen
alties of the New York statute againet usurious
interest. In the' present pinch for Marcy we

market. The national banking act Is by far the more
