The Courier isfstill harping away

appearance Of dissensis1aP and soppo 5.
sition toEthes RAILROAD enterprises, IN
which our city is so vitality interested.
1t still insists that the JOURNAL and
the Republican party are opposed to
the Henderson sahd Nashville Rafll
road, the repeated declarations and
acts of both to the contrary not
ewithsfanding Z tits evenksol blinded
to the plain facts, that it says it does
not remember of single article in
the Journal 5HIfatQrT Of that enter
prise since the present editor of the
Courier has been in the city. We
don't remember the date when he
imounted tne tripod, but regret to
learn that he is so careless a reader of
the JOURNAL. 1t accounts for his
lamentable ignorance on many other
subjects. The Henderson & Nash
vile Railroad has been a frequent
theme of favorable discussion and
notice in this paper for months past.
The Courier writer must have been in
the city as late as the 22d of February
last, when. we published the amend
ment to the City Charter, then pend
ing in the Legislature, and upon
which we made the following COM
ments:
from Daily journal, Feb 81
i nit is known to mest of our citizens that
steps are beng perfected to revive the
( Nashville Railroad enterprise. The fran
chises of the old Company are to be sold at
public auction, and a new charter is being
granted by the Legislature of Kentucky
for the Evansville, Henderson and Nash
Vlle Railroad Company. IT Is AN IN
PRoVEMENT IN WHICH EVANSVILLE is AT
PRESENT MORE INTERESTED THAN IN ANY
OTHER THAT CAN BE PROJECTED, AND, IN
ORDER TO CARRY IT THROUGH SUCCESSFUL
LY, WE WILL HAVE TO GIVE II AS MUCH
SUBSTANTIAL AID AS POSSIBLE. AS our
City Charter now stands, the Council
would not have the legal authority to take
stock in such g railroad, even Enough ev-
cry taxpayer ana voter In the CITY should
be in favor Of H. To remedy tins defect an
amendment to the City Charter has been
prepared, ahd Will, without delay he pre-
scented ,toithe Legislature, extending tethe

will, by. their yerdicts SOL SO, and
thus provide speedy correction for
the abuse complained of. The same
course of action is equally open to
persons residing in any other part of
the State, or against any of our rail-
roads
This will be settling judicial ques-
ton by judicial tribunal safe
and more direct way than to attempt
Its solution by a statuary enactment.
If the Legislature, without reserv-
ing in the charter the right to regulate
freight tariffs, may properly exercise
that power, it follows that the reason
ableness of these regulations is exclu.
sively within the discretion of the
Legislature; and it may, under the
pretence of regulating the rate of
freights, destroy the contract to which
the State is a party. Hence, | sui.
NIT that Gov. Baker is right when he
denies the existence of the power.
