The Union Pacific Railroad bill, which was
run through the House Of Representatives,
last week, is said by the National Intelligencer
to be an attempt to procure from Congress
what, upon a complete examination and under
standing of the whole subject, had been refused
by the Secretary of the Interior, the President,
and the Atty Gen. and it now appears that,
in addition to the injustice to innocent parties
contemplated and its impairing the obligation
of contracts, and involving the Government in
serious damages, it involves also some political
considerations, as it is alleged that one Of the
considerations Of it's passage is the election to
the u s. Senate Of one of the most offensive
Radicals in Pennsylvania, who is at present
canyassinp the State"

THE EXPRESS COMPANIES AND TIE RAIL-
ROADS AT the close of the war many of our
various railroad companies, being much in need
of money, agreed to transport the freight of
the Adams Express Company in consideration
of certain sums advanced by that company on
condition that said railroad companies should
not transfer freight for any other express CON-
pany unless such company should advance sim
liar sums The amounts advanced as annual
burg and Weldon road, $4,000; Orange and
Aexandria road, S5S,OO0; Virginia Central
road, $4,000. a loan of $4,000 was also
made to the Virginia and Tennessee road on
the same conditions.
Mr. B. f. Fickin General Superintendent
of the National Express Company, has brought
suits II different circuit courts against the above
railroad companies to set aside the contracts
between these companies and the Adams Ey-
press Company, on the ground that said con-
tracts were illegal, void, contrary to public pol
icy, and amounting in their acquisitions to
complete denial of railroad privileges TO other
express companies unwilling or unable to pay
the sums demanded
The defendants deny that said contracts are
Illegal Or contrary to public policy, urging that
the sums received from the Adams Express
Company aided them greatly in repairing their
roads at the close of the war, thus greatly ben
citing the public.
The suits (tor the greater convenience of all
parties, and because the same principle is in
yolved In aii) were, by mutual agreement, trans
terred to Richmond, where they arc to be tried
before the judges of the courts in which they
were brought. Rich. Enquirer

no middle ground between obedience 10 the

slavery, and that we should indulge in no vain
regrets for the past, but look forward without
dependency and with hope to the future. He
dwelt upon the duty of the people to the freed
