CABARRUs.-We notice that our contemporaries
have the name of W. S. Harris in the list of men,
bers elected TO the Commons from Cabarrus. We
regret that Mr. Harris was not elected, for we
know him to be an honest, faithful public servant
P. B. C. Smith is the Commoner elect from Cabar-
rus, and we learn that he is a first rate man.

Nor TRUE.-The Raleigh Standard. speaking of
the election in Mecklenburg county, says:
There was no free ballot in the town of Char
lotte either for citizens or soldiers
We only notice this remark for the purpose OF
saying that there is not the least foundation in truth
for such An assertion. The election in this place
was perfectly free. and neither the poll holders
any one else used any unfair means to prevent men
from voting they pleased In fact, we are not
aware that there was any electioneering the day
of election for either of the Gubernatorial cand-
dates-public attention almost entirely directed
to the local candidates. The vote for Governor
stood. Vance 700, Holden L. The man who voted
for Mr. Holden not interfered with in the least
The Standard cannot produce any respectable or
credible witness to sustain its broad assertion.

PRIeCELY PAY.-One of our citizens shipped 20
barrels Of -four tn his father in Petersburg. this
week, per Southern Express, and paid that Compa-
ny the handsome sum of $l,0O5 freight and nsu-

Why cannot the Railroad companies do this SER

subscribed their money to build these Roads for the
expressed purpose Of cheapening transportation
pect that the road would defeat one of the main OBJ
jects of their construction! 1t never thought
of. The Railroad charges a barrel of flour from
here to Raleigh is $40. Say all charges from
here to Petersburg is. $40 per barrel. The Express
company charges little over $50 per barrel. A
company well paid this shows them to be.

We copy the above for the purpose of saying
a word the subject; and it is proper for US
to first remark that do not entertain or feel
the least unkind feeling for any engaged in the
Express company. They have always acted polite
ly and gentlemanly towards us. But our position
is this: if the Railroad companies would do their
duty to the public there would be no necessity for
the Express company. AS affairs are now managed
it is almost impossible to get freight transported I'M
less you hire the Express company to do it; and
the Express afford to be prompt, because it is

if the Express organization was confined to trans
porting small valuable packages but we do object
to keeping up both Railroad and Express organiza-
tons to do the work that might perform. This
is the view the people generally take of the matter
We might say great deal on this subject. but we
are not disposed to do at present The difficulty
might be remeded by putting the Railroads entire
ly in charge of the Express company, and let it
manage the whole business--and we think it would
manage better than some of the Railroad companies
are doing. and could afford to reduce the price
OF transportation. There is real necessity for
Doth companies, and believing this, it is duty as
