CATTLE ON railroads.&c. EVIL AND
THE REl[EDY

CATTLE ON RAILROADS-THE EVIL AND
THE REMEDY
To the Editors of the Exchange:
In your columns of yesterday several comments
are made upon the above subject. 1t is almost useless
to dwell upon the 'evil of cattle running at large
upon our railroad tracks; the evil is too well
known and too apparent to every one to need expo
sure.
The rights of ownership of property seem to be
entirely lost sight of when railroad company is
involved in suit of damages by some farmer for
the loss of his uncontrolled cattle. The case ap-
pears plain to me. The roads should be fenced in
jointly BY the railroad company and the otcners of the
lands through ,rhich the roads pass When the Lee
gislature granted to the incorporate companies
rights of way, subject to the assessment of benefits
and damages, the original landholders by Jury of
inquest, had estimated the then just valuation of
the land upon adjustment of which the land be-
came the property of the railroad companies Now
the question arises, whose duty is it to fence in
land to avoid and prevent trespass? Why, most
assuredly, it is the joint duty of both the landed
proprieors-that is, the railroad company upon the
one part and the farmer the other. In the event
OF an accident and loss by the trespaSs of cattle
who would receive or pay damages? The trespass
it is true is upon the premises of the railroad com
pany; but has the railroad company taken the
proper steps (by Jencing) to prevent it? 1t has
not Why? 1t is not because there do not exist
the proper laws to be enforced. There do exist and
have always existed laws which compel all land
holders to Keep up fences between themselves of u
fcient height and strength to prevent trespass by
stock running at large. Such being the case the
remedyis simple and effective. Let the railroad
companies, as the landholders upon the one side
legally notify the landhoder upon the other to
erect or cause to be erected the division fence and
if not completed within given period, then they
can do so themselves, and compel the landholder to
pay his portion thereof The remedy is simple: let
1t be applied. ALAN.

From the ". Y. TimeS.l

General Houston is moderate man in his politi-
cal opin IONS With courage which few public
men can command, and which almost none venture
to exercise without sefsacrifce, he rejects the Ill
traisms of his own section of the Union. In his
senatorial career he has consistently pursued con-
ciliatory and national course. No project of dis
union or act likely to infame the feelings of the
North has received any countenance from him. On
the contrary, he set his face perssteptly against all
Southern measures of an extreme character That
he opposed and voted against the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise will be freshly remembered, and
that he would have voted against the Lecompton
Constitution, had he felt at liberty to follow his
personal convictions, in derogation of the nstruc-
tians of his State, is less to be borne in mind
In the recent election, also, he had the pluck to
take the field independent candidate against
the regular nominee, on the avowed ground OF hos
tility to the slave trade.
In short, he has proved himself a man for the
country, rather than one exclusively for his own
section of it, and for that reason he not only re-
ceives but deserves, the appreciation accorded him
by the Northern Opposition. But is it not peril
nent to ask whether there may not be an ultra
Northern, well as Southern sentiment; and if so,
what would those who applaud Gen. Houston for
his middle course say to similar policy on the
part of a leader of the Opposition? Who are the
public men most theoretically praised among
those who, like Houston, refrain from the ultra
isms of thr own part of the country, or those who
push Northern ultrasms to their EXTREMIST length?
Is it not worth while to put this inquiry to our
selves, in all sobernes and candor? Is it possible
we make the suggestion with great diffidence
and caution-but it is barely possible that we are
admring what we decline to practice.
