R; t t r A recent number of the 'Sacramento; LTjton has a long and ably written edi-- ; torial article upon the subject of the charges for fares --and freights on the Central Pacific' Railroad. There are some points in the Particle which are of interest to us; in fact, as the railroad from the East and West is likely';to reach our borders before another winter, everything connected with tho subject is interesting to us.- 'The cost of fares and freights is especially so. The editor of the Union takes exception to a communication which had appeared in another paper, the writer of which makes statements to show that the; present rates of fare, nd ; freight are as low as the Central Pacific Company can afford. The writer of the communication stated that Vin. the Atlantic and Mississippi valley States, passenger fares vary from 3 to 7 cents per mile, averaging about 6 cents; freight charges vary from 4 to 10 1 cents per ton." : ' : The editor of the Union calls this a and proceeds to correct . it, as follows: "In 1865 the charges on ; tho Hudson and Erie road were 2:24 cents mile jer for passengers and 2:65 per ton for freight. This was paid in greenbacks, which, reckoning them worth 70 in gold would give one cent and a little over a half per mile for passengers, and one cent and a little over three quarters Prospective Indian HosTiiiiTiES. per tbri for freight.
