The baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
From the annual address presented
by Mr.. GARHETT, President Of the Bal
timore aud Ohio Railroad Company, to
the stockholders of the Company, we
make the following extract which con-
tains the only special reference to the
interests of this end Of the road made
in the address. At some future time
time we will endeavor to present our
views of the policy which we think
should be pursued by our State towards
the company. The interests of our cit
liens and of the stockholders of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad shonld be
better harmonized than they now seem
TO be, and we are satisfied that little
concession upon both sides will be nlti-
mately productive of great advantage
to both:
The Central Ohio Railroad Company
recently presented to this Company the
subject of leasing that road, so that the
line might he under the same govern
ment from Baltimore to Columbus. BY
the action, with singular unanimity, of
that Company and this Board, an agree
ment tor the lease of that important
work has been recently concluded,
winch went into operation on the nIst
of the present month. 1t is the design
of this Company at once to so strength
EN- and improve the road, and add
to it's equipment and facilities rs will
enable it to transact, promptly and sue
eessfully, q largely increased business.
1t ia believed that great advantages Will
result to the city of Baltimore, and to
the Baltimore and Ohio and Central
Ohio roads, from this unity of manage
ment and perfect cooperation. The
officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany are making special arrangements
to promote the local interests upon that
road, rs to the system upon its own
line, and to furnish every practicable
facility for the increase of its traffic and
the development of its advantages.
Opportunities are thus afforded by
which increased facilities can be given
to the business of tile city of Wheeling
with the West, and the careful efforts
of this Company will, in this connec-
non, be given to advancing the interest
of that important and improving city:
More intimate relations will be secured
and maintained wi the great zines of
railway centering at Columbus, and 1t
is designed to secure increased advan.
tages for prompt transportation of
freight, and in improved connections
for passengers. The lines running in
connection with the Central Ohio road
desired the arrangement which has
been made, and this Company is as
sured of their cordial and effective CO.
operation i'll increasing and improving
the business and facilities of the route.

This is true in morals, in equity, and in
law. In England the Military Cover
nor of Province was tried, convicted
and executed for inflicting tho death
penalty upon soldier in accordance
with the seDtence of q commission which
had no power TO try snch cases, and in
this country the law will lay its heayi-
est and surest penalty upon the men,
bers of Lynch court by which man
has been murdered without trial. The
blood of any person shed by order of
these illegal and unconstitutional mil
itary tribunals rests upon the heads of
those composing the commissions, and
under the late decision the avenger will
be upon their tracks until justice is ap-
peased, and the past redeemed from
the stain which misrule, disrespect for
law, and wilful disregard for humanlife
and liberty have placed upon it.
1t is such facts and considerations as
these that lie at the bottom of the at
tacks now making upon the Supreme
Court. Stanton, and Burnside, and

Marcy, and Wallace, and their brother

Soul IN tAiNy AouiiN
on their political friends in this crusade
upon the chief judicial tribunal of the
land. But it is in vain. They must
meet the issue. The people will sus-
tain the Supreme Court, and under their
decision the aggrieved party or their
friends can have justice. How far
special enactments can shield culprit
from the effects of crime, remains to he
seen. 1t has been and will be again at
tempted. But then, such laws, like all
others, are open to revision and correc-
tion by the Supreme Court, and this
last refuge of constitutional liberty has
proved to be a sheet anchor to steady
the ship of state in the storm of an
archy and lawlessness which now pre-
walls. The announcement that the
Constitution is the supreme law of the
land, in war as well as i'll peace, covers
all that is required in order to allow the
conservative element of the country to
reassert its supremacy, and this will be
done if the people are true to them
selves at this crisis. ''
