A. & G. w. Rail Road.

It is perhaps understood by most
of our readers. that the Atlantic and
Great Western Rail Road has recent
ly changed hands. 1t is now controll-
ed by the "Erie" company of New
York. 1t did not change hands a
day too soon. Under the old manage
ment, it was rapidly going into dis
repute- Nc road in the country was
more ext~ortionate in its demands, in
charging freights on non competing
points, than the Atlantic. Its officers
and managers were inclined to treat
the public just as johnny Bulp has
always treated the Celt. We are
heartily glad of the change: and trust
the new managers will .infuse new
life into the business affairs of. the
road. The Atlantic, under good
management, ought to- be the leading
road IN the Country
We call the attention Of. the reader
to an excellent article from the Gin
Commercial, onthe history of
Ohio rail road rivalry; and a copy of
the bill introduced into the House of
Representative by General Stickney,
to regulate the. management Of Ohio
rail roads, when they. are purchased
pr leased by foreign company. The
bill Is carefully drawn, and We are in

in the whole history of the war no
man was doubIe-starred on slighter
p~rovocation. He bullied Lincoln first
out Of Brigadiership, though he had
never set q squadron in the field ; and
soon after, for playing the petty tyrant
of Baltimore and filing prisons and
forts with unofending men and wo-
men, he was promoted to q Major
General over the heads of brave fnen
who had done a soldiers duty, and
wore q soldiers honors. ! once heard
Mr.. Lincoln tell ga little story" about
ESchenck, which illustrates the charac-
ter of the Vienna hero to a dot:
Somebody had gone to Schenck with
q petition for a foreign mission-I
think it was the Spanish-he had per-
emptorily refused to sign it on the
ground that she was not asking favors
Of Abe Lincoln" Old Abe happen
ed to hear of this, and seemed to be
quite amused a little amazed at it.
He quietly sent word to his Secretary
to bring him a certain bundle of pa
pers. "Ain't asking favors # me, eh2"
said he to his visitor. "Read that"
And there was Schenck's own apple
alton for the identical mission for
which he had refused to rccommed
Mr.. - on the ground tnat che had
nc favors to ask of Abe Lincoln"
Such is Schenck-the would-be lead
err of the House.
