Railroad MOnopoly.

A suspicion is gaining ground that The Ire
qusnt railroad conventions, have, for their OBJ
feet, such an organization Of various lines as
will convert them into a huge monopoly
The Cleveland Herald OF Tuesday says:
Distinguished men representing some twenty
Railroads in the Northern States, are nsseul-
bled in Convention in this city. We undeI-
stand the objects Of the Convention 10 be-
the entire abolition OF the ''dead head'' sys-
TEN, OF runners, and as far ss practicable, Of
Agents; reduction ofspeed; and increase of
fare and freight.
We understand that the passenger fare from
c cleveland to New York, is TO be raised 10
S15, and freight in like proportion. There
are abuses, in milroad matters which need
correction, but we imagine the present move
ment will not result benehcially TO the inter-
est Of the rosds. II this be so, it smacks too
much of q grand railroad monopoly doing away
with healthy competition, to meet with iayors
from the public.
The Dayton Gazette OF yesterday remarks f:
We learn that the fare between Dayton and
Cincinnati, by railroad, is to be raised, on and
after Friday The list OF December, from $3.50
10 SlS0-an advance of half o cent per mile,
or 30 cents on the distance between the two
cities. The step strikes us as one OF very
doubtful policy, to say the best Of it.

EIeHrH OF JANUARY CONVENTION.

We extract from the Hamilton Telegraph
the following sensible remarks, and cheer
fully give them our endorsement We see
no move made in relation to holding our usual
democratic Convention in Columbus, on the
eighth Of January. The Democratic State
Central Committee should take some steps in
the matter, either for or against it, so that the
county committees may know how to act in
the premises, We hope the usual prelimina-
ries will be taken for having a Convention, il
the democracy only assemble and consult upon
matters and things in general, without making
their nominations.
The only way we can avail ourselves Of the
advantages 10 be derived from the unity oil
feeling existing in the democratic party Of the
State Of Ohio, is TO thoroughly organize. The
armor of democracy and of the people must be
buckled on, and the good fight made. Ever,
hamlet and village should be prepared to en-
sure a thorough drilled Amy for the contest:
but if the old customs of theparty, which are
common law in the matter, are to be abandon
ed, without any provisions for an organization
instituted in their stead, we ore left without
any concert Of action, and nothing can be eI'
pected from the undecisiye efforts or men who
cannot possible appreciate the objects and mo-
tives of others, who are equally sOlicitous ii
the advancement of great principles.
The work must be commenced and proSecu'
ted from this time forward, and no cessation
experienced until what the democracy have
lost, be regained. Let the pillar of truth be
again reared, and the citadel Of our faitf
guarded by strong and resolute hearts. We
have a good foundation upon which 10 com
mence our work. One hundred thousand dem
ocratic voters in the State of Ohio who could moi
be swerved from theirduty to their country ant
their principles, form a rock against which the
wind and the waves Of fana ticiSm may beat
hcrmleSsly. The tide that has rushed upon il
and nearly submerged it, will soon recede, and
it will again rear It's head with the gathering
impurities of an exposed surface washed away
by the breakers.
1t would seem to us, that the exigencies Of
the occasion should be considered an ample
justification for the call ing of a convention BY
the democratic State Central Committee, ever
if custom did not warrant it. We want con
cert OF action; and how shall we get il, butby
counselling together We do not insist upon
the nominations being made in January-we
likelpte nominations-but we look upon it as
a safe ard judicious policy, 10 hold in remem.
brance' the glorious achievement of the 9Th o.
January, by democrats coming together on tina
day from every section of the State, and re.
newing their fealty 10 those principles enun,
ciated by a Jefferson, and preserved by the
hero Of the 9th. Shall We have q convention
