4 WORD TO WESTERN RAILROAD
SCPERlNK KEN DEN EH.

4 WORD To WESTERN RAILROAD
SCPERIN TEA DEN rs.
In the proceedings Of the Railroad Con-
vention held at the St. Nicholas Hotel,
New York, last Thursday, it was stated
that the timetable eastward has not been
definitely agreed upon. on account Of the
absence Of the representatives Of the Chi.
cago lines"
Why were the Chicago lines not rcpre-
scented there? Not because the Western
Szn.rirtendcnts and managers have any
less interest in the matter than the East
em-not because they have Nc: the best
interest Of the companies they represent,
nor the welfare and accommodation of the
travelling public at heart. There are no
more public-spirited men anywhere, than
those in charge of:Western railroads.
But they have attended these Eastern Rail:
road Conventions, at times and places
fixed by the Eastern Superintendent, year
after ycar-been consulted as to their
wishes merely to be refused time
and again been enubbed, and their inter-
ests and requests disregarded, until they
have ut last very sensibly concluded that
they will not voluntarily submit them.
selves to repetition Of the insulting i'm
position. Eastern Superintendcnts have
fixed the time for leaving New York to
suit themselves, independent Of any con-
sfderation Of the convenience oi either
through travel or way travel upon Vest
en- roads.
There are now upwards of three thou
sand four hundred miles Of railway lines,
running West from chicago) that are in
conycnicnced by these arbitrary Eastern
timetables. Upon these different roads
there arc five hundred and fifty stations,
many Of them incorporated cities and in1-
portant business centres. OF these, and tue
stage lines connecting with them, q very
grcat majority are discommodcd By the
winter time table, IS in force last winter.
Have not the Western superintcndents Of
nearly four thousand mules Of railway
penetrating the Northwest in every direc-
ton, distance Of from $50 to 800 miles
from Chicago-haye those who manage
these railroads no right to consult their own
interests, nor the convenience Of their pat
rons, the people Of all the Northwest, in
this matter? If they have, why will they
not hold a convention and decide upon
winter timetable Tor the greatest good Of

RosrcpAs's PoLrcr.-Tho Ohio Dcmocra

RosDcRAS's PoLlcr.-Thc Ohio Democrat
ic State Committee recently addressed let
ter to Gen. Rosccrans, inquiring what rcgu-
lations prevail in his army regarding tho cir
culation Of newspapers and other political
documents. "Tho Democracy OF Ohio"
they say, "wish their brethren in tho field to
bc truly informed Of their views, and for this
purpose to scnd them newspapers and pam.
phlcts, and at tho proper time, tickets" Tho
General replies that no authority Of his will
bc used to prevent the free enjoyment by tho
soldiers OF the right Of suffrage, but no stump
orators will be permitted to 50 among them,
and then plainly says that no papers that
seek to impair tho spirit and vigor Of tho ar.
my shall be circulated. Ho remarks:
"As to newspapers. pamphlets and other
publications, nonc have been or will bc ex.
cludcd on the ground Of party politics. But
do not belong to that sentimental class who
weakly and timidly allow brawling license TO
stab true liberty. Hence, when any publica.
tion appears among us 30 licentious, lying
or traitorous rs to endangcr the morality, or
bc likely 10 impair tho spirit and vigor Of
this army, feel bound by reason, Justice

In tho struggle with tho rebellion. Without
expressing an opinion as to tho validity OF
tho emancipation proclamation. he hold that
II in tho exercise Of any constitutional war

not be re.enslavcd, and if not ,thon tho whole
question would rest with the people Of those
