n. C.. RAILKOAD.-At late meeting Of the
Stockholders of the n. G.. Railroad Company. at
Raleigh. memorial was drawn up aud presented
to the Legislature. asking that the number of
Directors be reduced from 12 to Q, and that the
Stockholders be authorized to appoint six and the
Governor three. At present the Governor ap-
points eight and the Stockholders four. which
really gives The State the management of the
Roud The memorial very properly represents
that it would be tu the interest nf all concerned
to give the management to individual Stockhold-
The memorial also asks that person be al
lowed to serve Director unless he owns twenty
shares of Stock in the Company.
The requests of the memorial are reasonable
and proper that it seems to US the Legislature
cannot do otherwise than grant what is asked.

SELL LAND The best thing our land holders
can do would be to sell portion of their lane
in small tracts (for cash on time) to respect
able persons who want to farm on small scale,
we'll as enhance the value of adjoining tracts
We are surprised and regret to learn that
many persons in this section of the State, who
own large tracts of "good" land, refuse to sell
The result is, that young men and old ones are
moving off to points where land is to be had, 10
any quantity, at reasonable prices: 1t requires
no prophet 10 tell what will be the consequence
if land holders do not pursue wiser and more
prudent policy.

BALTIMORE, December S.-Mr. Joseph
Haukey, an extensive coal dealer of
this city, a few days ago instituted pro-
ceedings in the Superior Court against
tine Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to re-
cover damages, laid at S25, 5,00O, for al
legged appropriation of several hundred
tons of coal belonging to him at vari-
Gus times while in transit over the
road, and for which the company de-
cline to make adequate compensation.
at the time Of said appropriation, coal
was worth $40, Sl2, and S14 per ton. The
company offered to reimburse Mr..
Haukey at the rate of 81, so per ton, and
subsequently at from $3.50 to So per
ton, which is less than the original cost
of the coal. On the refusal of Mr..
Haukey to accept these offers, it is al
legged that the President of the Com
pany gave directions to the agent for
other employees of the company not to
furnish cars for the transportation of
coal for the plaintiff, and also prohibit-
ed the use of cars to the other persons
who wished to carry coal to the wharf
of Mr.. Haukey for shipment. Mr..
Haukey further alleges that it has been
the constant custom of the company to
take the same course as pursued to-
wards him with other coal dealers,
who, because they were in the power of
the company, submitted thereto. He
is determined to test before the court
whether the company has legal right
so to do.

1t seems to us that such management
as Mr.. McCulloch's ought to be looked
into by Congress, and that it demands
new and more stringent regulations to
put a stop to his eccentricities. A bill
has been introduced providing that
when the amount of gold in the Treas
ury shall exceed $4O,OOO,OOO it shall be
sold at public sale. We think that
some provision of this kind is impera-
lively needed to stop the boarding of
gold by the government, and the waste
tui extravaganza of the private gold
sales. Some provision should also be
made to prevent the increasing of the
interest upon any existing government
security, whether note or bond, More
especially should it be fixed by law
that no legal-tender Neutrality-suspicious.
ing notes shall be funded in interest,"
bearing securities. No temporary loan
should be tolerated while the Treasury
is able to hold such enormous balances
for whole year at time, and to pre-
vent this monstrous anomaly Congress
should pass some act prohibiting such
policy. Nor should it be legal to
iund any temporary loan in interest
bearing bonds while the Treasury is so
strong and so well able to pay it off in
cash. If Mr.. McCulloch will not pur-
sue a reasonable line OF action, Con
gress should bind him up in such a
way as to compel him TO do so.

BALTIMORE at present is terribly
afflicted with gangs ofthieves and pick
pockets, who are Committing their dep
relations day and night, to an extent
never before known. In some instances
they have attacked ladies in broad day
light, and robbed them of their porte
monnaies. Houses are entered, silver
stolen, and other valuables besides
money. Persons, too, have been
knocked down, garrOted, and robbed.
There is an unusual number of strange

look like sharpers.

still more awful and astonishing than anything
