The Union E1pre.. Company.

A bill IS now pending in the House Of
Representatives to charter what is called
Union Express Company, by which two
thirds Of the capital stock is to be owned
by the different railroad companies, who
VIII thus have entire control Of this nam
moth corporation We can see no ne ces-
sity whatever for such a charter, but on
the contrary many reasons occur to US
why it should not be granted. The rail
roads are all incorporated, they have all
the exclusive privileges necessary to per
form their duties as carriers to the putlic,
and if they wish to arrange among them
selves about the forwarding and reship-
ment of freight where it is to be trans
ported by other roads than the one which
receives ii, let them do so. II the goods
are sent forward promptly and securely,
much of the business now transacted by
express companies will go TO them. We
have number of Express Companies
already in operation, who have been Of
great service to the public, and who are
competing with each other for patronage.
Let such great scheme as this be car
ried into eff ct, and these companies
will be destroyed and the people left
entirely at the mercy of the new corpora
ton. If this bill passes, no other Express
company could possibly compete with it.
The railroads as matter of course would
give their own company transportation.
1t would not only be their interest to do
this, but they would naturally consult
their own advantage by increasing the
amount Of goods sent by express on ac~
count of the higher rates of charges. We
think in this their interest and that of
the public would conflict.
A number of Express Companies have
already been chartered. capital has been
invested in consequence of their incor-
poration, they have proved sarvicable to
all classes Of people and we think it un-
just to destroy them and give the rail
reads monopoly of the whole express
business of the country.
We desire to see liberal course of
legislation towards the Railroad Compa-
MES. They have sustained heavy losses
during the war, we hope to see them
again prosperous and furnishing, but we
see no necessity for granting them the
exclusive privileges of this bill, and
trust the measure will be defeated.
