Bill Regulating Railroad COmpa-
mieS.

We have received printed copy of a bill
introduced into the House of Representatives
by Mr.. Stanton, of Washington county, de-
fining the duties of railroad companies 1t
requires each railroad company now existing
or hereafter to be organized in Iowa to have
its principal office of business in this State
and majority OF the directors residents Of
the State; also, to make out annually in Feb
ruary full and certified report of the con-
dition of its affairs, which is to be left with
the Auditor of State, who is to furnish copy
to each member of the Legislature and to
every other railroad company il the State
The forfeiture for failure to make out such
report by railroad company is fifty dollars
for each days neglect, which goes to the use
of the State. The bill also requires each rail
road company to fix its rates of freight tar
itfper mile on the first day of October each
year, which shall be posted up at each sta
ton on the road during the year and be OBJ
served by the company in the transportation
of freight at penalty of not less than 500
nor more than 5000, to be paid to the per-
son from whom higher rate is exacted-I
Each railroad company is also required to
fence its track within one year after the pas
sage of the act, or pay penalty of 500 per
day for each days neglect and in cases
where stock are injured upon the track be-
fore the same is fenced, the company shall be
liable for such injury unless it was caused by
unavoidable accident Suits under this act
can be instituted in any county through which
the road passes, and. service made upon any
agent of the company transacting its business
shall be deemed sufficient Railroad compa-
MES which have received land grants from the
State are required to transport troops and
munitions of war during time of war free of
charge; also, all wounded soldiers on ;heir>
return to their respective homes, and fur
loughed and discharged soldiers, on presenta-
ton ofthelr furloughs and discharges. The
depots, machine shops, &C., are to be taxed
in the county where situated, and the rolling
stock in each county in proportion to the
length of the line of road in the said county.
We have not had time to give this bill a
thorough and careful examination, but from
a casual glance at its provisions as above we
regard it as one of the most important meas
ures now before the Legislature. 1t may re-
quire some amendment, but its main features
should by all means be embodied in law
Our State has been sadly humbugged by rail
road companies, ard every year they are
usurping more power and becoming more and
more oppressive. The people must be pro-
tected against all monopolies of this kinl by
timely legislation. We earnestly hope. there
fore, that Mr.. Stanton's bill may become
law, in spite of any combination that may be
brought against it.

Fort Henry. Tenn.

The capture Of this strongly fortified post
is one of the most important achievements of
the war. 1t is on the Tennessee river, in
Stewart county, Tennessee, and on the rail-
road from Memphis to Bowling Green, sixty
five miles from Nashville, the capital of Ten
nessee-ninety miles from Bowling Green and
about sixty miles from Columbus. 1t is the
grand centre of railroad communication, and
was easily reinforced by the rebels from
Columbus, Bowling Green and Nashville, by
railroad. Our approaches to it are up the
Ohio from Cairo, and up the Tennessee river
from Paducah.
The object in taking this fort is undoubted
ly to flank the rebels at Bowling Green and
eventually open the way to Nashville. Gen.
Buckner must now either fight Gen. BuelIs
powerful army or beat hassy retreat.

WThe wags have got up new "plan"
which they dub 'MeClellan's." 1t is some
what as follows: That Mcclellan is waiting
for the Chinese population Of California to
increase to such vast number that they
will be able to cross the Rocky Mountains
and bring up his right wing, by which time
the Russian Possessions and Greenland will
have a redundant population, which can be
drafted down to the support of the grand
left wing of the Unien army-and that when
these great events take place, the war will
commence in earnest. This is the hotel joke
Just now, and even Mcclellan listened to it
the other day with good-natnred laughter.

Our GOVERNMENT A SUcCEss.-The theorists
of Europe, who have ever contended that
republican government is impractiole, now
point to our rebellion as demonstration of
the assumption, when the fact IS that the po-
sition of our country demonstrates that gov
ernment of the people is really the most etfec-
tive system ever devised. In nine months
our federal government has brought into the
field six hundred thousand men, three hun
dred ships Of war, and twenty two thousand
sailors to man these ships. In less than a
year we have spent three hundred millions of
dollars, while our war expenses in December
amounted to one hundred millions, or over
three millions day. What other govern
ment ever originated such an army, such a
navy, and such debt in the same space OF
time?

D@ The London Times says that the Brit

rescue two negroes as it did to release Mason

an English mail steamer. The same journal
also protests against any extravagant well

All this is backing down on the part Of the

Rumors are anoat that Fort Garfield. Maine,
has been invaded by en armed Br rtish ferce,
under pretence Of searching for deserters.-
If this be so, will Great Britain make the
amende honorable by acting on their own
precedent, in the Mason and Slidell case?
