crit will be seen by the Presidents
Message, that the Post Ofice officials are
making another strike at cheap postage.
This is a scheme that the people are deeply
interested in. Ii is true that the Post Office
does not pay its own expenses; but that this
is not the remedy is very certain. If Con-
gress instead would do away with the frank.
ing system, by which Congressman are in
the habit of cheating the country, over
burdening the mails with their own trash
to spread their notoriety. This is another
stroke at the North: we are asked to bear
the burden in every thing. They would

Commissioners Settlement wit
G.. o. R. Road Company.

u. w.. II. hOaQ company.
The subs tsnce of this case was that the
C. o. R. Road Company had refused to pay
the penalty of thirty per cent on its TAX
which had been imposed for being delinqu-
ent. Itwls claimed on the part o: the
Company:
lst. That the Road Bed was personal pro-
perty-from the fact that the Railroad holds
no fee-simple in the lands on which the road
lies, and therefore are no: ehargeable with
80 per ceut penalty.
2. That rolling machinery, and other pro-
perty being personal. were only chargeable
with per cent penslty.
g. That the 80 per cent. penalty were all
illegal, and would not be paid only at the
end of law.
The reasons on the part of the Cenmis.
sioners were:
lst. That 80 per cent penalty on per-
sonal property, were at least doubtful, and
were so advised by good council.
2. That they received 6 per. cent interest
n lieu of 5 per cent. penalty.
8. That it was doubtful whether by dis.
tress Of law, the whole or any part of the
tax could have been made.
4. That the county being Stockholdel
to the amount of 100000, it is the duty
of the Commissioners to foster the interest:
of the Company rather than Oppress it.
S. That great Clany of the citizens o
I
the county are stockholders, some Of then
to large amount.
Tie following is statement Of the &C
count as claimed--a nd settled,
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1858-12-16

The probabilities are, that a suit con-
tinued in Corrt for several years wouH have
cost the county much more than the amount
o,t by the Compromise. The point in dis
D ute, is one that should have the decision
Of the Supreme Court. Under the circum-
stances the Commissioners did the best for
the interests of the county.
