COMPLAINT is made by our business
men, especially by dealers in grain, beef and
pork, of the high rates Of freight charged on
the Chicago & Rock leland railroad They say
the rates are higher than on any other road
running into Chicago, and that it has bad ei.
feet upon the business OF our place. from the
fact that it deters farmers. living as near the
Burlington road or the Galens road as they do
this place, from bringing their produce to this
charge comes out of the farmers, for dealers
must purchase at such prices as will repay them
for cost Of transportation. 1t seems hard that
such On uufair discrimination should be made.
NO, only against the producers. but against the
interests Of town, which has done more to
build the road. than any other Of its size and

Nr. Preston's Speech

The speech Of Mr.. PREsroN. our candidate Tor
Attorney General. at Dudley Hall, on Wednesday
night. was, by universal admission Of all parties,
the mss, brilliant, eloquent, and effective Address
delivered in Lynchburg for many years We
have heard the greatest orators Of the nation, in
the Senate aud House Of Representatives and,
in our Judgment, we have yet to hear tie man
who combines so many If the qualities Of ecnu-
inc ora,ory as WALTER PRrsroN. From iirst To
las.-from the beginning to the close Of lis speech
he held his whole audience spcll-bouul by the
Influence Of his solid argument aud his mn'ehlcss
eloqucnee.
This may seem, to those who have never heard
Mr.. Preston, the language Of eSaggcrn,ion but
there was mt an unprecedented man in that an'
dience, Wing or Democrat, who will not Admit
that what we have said is the truth We shall
net attempt any synopsis of Mr.. Pres'on's speech.
M abstract could do justice to it. From first to
last It was grand trumph-lhe grand triumph
Of undeniable truth, clothed in words Of burning
eoquence.
That such man rs Walter Prestun-a man ca
pable Of rejecting honor upon the highest posi-
tons in the Republic-should be kept down ly
the mere tyranny Of numbcrs-should be cxcu-
ded from that participation in the affairs oi Gov
eminent which his splendid talents entile him to
is disgrace to the institutions under which we
live We say it delihcratcly-l is stigma upon
a Democratic form Of Government.
After Mr. Preston had concluded his speech and
retired to bis lodgings, large number Of his
friends cxtemporised serenade to him. Mr..
Preston, called out by the shouts and plaud's of
the crowd, appeared upon the balcony of the Nor
veil House, and in a brief speech. cinchcd tho
hold upon the affections Of his audience which he
bad already taken. 1t was IN ovation to genius
and merit, honorable alike to its originators and
its recipient.
Mr.. Preston goes hence to Petersburg and
Richmond. Although it would have been asking
tso much of him, We cannot but regret that he
did not take the field early in the canvass. IF
there is any honesty, virtue, or intelligence in the
people, such speeches as he is capable of making
cannot but open their eyes to the colossal inqu-
ties Of modern Democracy. and the solemn duty
of every patriot to destroy such party utterly
dnd forever. 4,
