Editorial Correspondence.

MONTPELIER, Nov. sth
The bill in addition to chap 90, of the
Compiled Statutcs-rclating to Railroads.
which was reported by the Legislative Com.
mission, (Judges Colamor Kellogg and Hall y
has excited more attention in the Senate
than any other bill of the Session. That a
powerful influence is at work about the
General Assembly to defeat the bill has been
apparent to the most careless observer.
The bill, as reported by the Commission,
provided for the appointment by the Gov
ernor Of three Railroad Commissioners to
whom two distinct lines of duty were marked
out. One was the duty of thorough insncc-
ton of al thct pertains to the condition
ana management Of the railroad corporations,
and reporting thereon to the General Assem-
bly,. The other was the exercise of general
police powcr-not for the purpose Of con-
travcning the lawful and proper functions Of
the directors, but to secure their exercise in
manner ccnducirc to the pub lie safety
From one cause and another, a maiuritv
of the Senate thought it best to remove from
the proposed commissioners this last men
toned class of duties. That being done, it
was quite obvious that II single commissioner
would be better than three, and the bill was
altered accordingly. The appointing power
was also assigned to the Judges Of the Su-
| prcme Court instead of the Governor One
or two other unimportlnt alterations were
made, and The bill was ordered to be en-
crossed and read the third time, Thursday
/ +, NJ, by a vote of % ayes to noes. There
is no reason to doubt its passage by the
/ Senate. In its present shape the bill is in
| principle the same with the bill Of last scs-
sion for an act to provide for the appointment
Of railroad commissioner That bill PASSED
! the Senate but was lost in the House.
That the actual condition Of the railroad
corporations and the acts Of their chief
managers should be brought ont into open
daylight under the authority Of Il sworn of.
liccr OF the state, was thought to be fearful
thing, and it was stoutly resisted by thotc
| who had been chiefly concerned in their
, transactions. This year, too, the same in
iluonccs are at work and doubtless for the

The Elections.
The Americans of Massachusetts have
elected their candidate for Governor by plu-
rality Of over fttcca thousand and will have
IL decided majority in both branches of the
Legislature. The Republicans have worked
hard. Their cause was good one. and their
candidate worthy of the cause, but the ma
chinery Of their party was new and worked
sti'ily-the straight Wings who might, and as
we think ought to, have made common cause
with them, were among their bitterest oppon-
ents;-so the strength which was to overcome
the enormous X. \. majorites Of last year was
lacking, and the Republicans have come out

his majority was I6,lll this year he lacks
1000 votes of a majority. The Democratic
vote appears to have increased largely doubt

Of course we should have been gratifed
with different result. But it might be
worse than it is. Sham democracy and rum
at least, are badly defeated in Massachusetts,
Mr.. Gardner, moreover-howeyer late he nav
have been in giving in his full adhesion to
the Northern moyement-and however incon-
sstent and unfair his course in running on
an exclusive *. \. ticket, after having gone
/ into the Republican convention by his friends
and tried his best to secure the Republican
nomination,-is doubtless on the right side
OF the great question. Whether the Amcri-
can or Republican party is to be permanent
ly in the ascendant, Massachusetts is and will
be, anti-slayery to the back bone
New York State is at present divided poll
tically into four parties, each Of which ran a
distinct ticket at the recent election. The
RFrrBLICANs are those of all parties who are
willing to unite in an earnest effort to stop
the spread of Slavery over free Territory and

AMERICANS, are composed Of silver-gray
