its projectors, supporters and endorsers.
A. Resofged, That the astounding ex-

ton of the Senate of the United States, in
admitting Graham n. Fitch and lessee ID.
Bright to seats in that body as an infrac-

the people Of this State, and a revolutiona-
ry and dangerous precedent.

who are opposed to the iniquities of the

With regard to the proposed changes in the
rates of freight and fare upon this road, we learn
that the Directors, at meeting held last month
determined to change the tariff on freights by rails
ing It on some articles and lowering it on others
They also determined that the passenger fares
should be raised upon white persons to AZ cents
per mile, and on negroes to 81 cents per mile
A discrimination will be made III favor of some
point. on the road where it is considered the iu'
terest of the company to make such discrimina-
ton Two of these points are Staunton aud Char

As the revisal of these rates Is attended with
