FRErGuTs-The Salisbury Waterman copies
our article on freights, and sppcnds the following
proper remarks:
"What we want TO say now, is that the press
throughout the State ought to take special pains to
expose every wrong thing touching the manage
ment of our n. c. Railroads. They can be man
aged right, and they ought to work as 1or as other
roads and it is the duty of the press to help bring
them up to it. 1t is simply nonsense to suppose
that business men of N. G. are going to ship over
our roads from patriotic motives alone. If they
can get their goods by the way of Charleston
cheaper than by Newbern, Wilmington or Care
lima City, then they will come by Charleston; and
We shall have Railroad Presidents and their Off
eials busyng themselves to keep straight only one
side of the Ledger. Let the press promptly ex-
pose all the faults Of cur roads, as means of per
fectinc them 1t is efficient means, and 1t is
due to the community that it should be DONE

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune puts the land operation
OF Mcssrs. Bright, English and Foley in
an Ineligible position in the following
extract. 1t is shows that rule of the
land office intended to benefit poor men
unable to be present and locate their lands
themselves, is perverted to the selishncss
or corruption of three members Of Con
grcss, who want pay for three important
votes:
These men. while secretly supporting
the Administration in its policy for the
subjugation Of Kansas. had warrants for
that quantity Of land entered for them By
the Department, while they remained here
in Washington. They were enabled to do
this by the perversion of law intended to
benefit and protect the grantee Of land war
rant and not the Spectator. 1t was in
tended that when the poor soldier received
his warrant he should not be compelled to
go himself. at an expense greater than the
value of the warrant. to enter it. but that
the Land Office should do il for him. But
here are three privileged official specula-
tors, a Senator and two members of Con.
gress, who monopolize the whole time oil
Land Office for fortnight. and have
the culling OF the lands throughout the
district, as a reward for their votes upon a
corrupt and corrupting measure.

The Democrat adds:
