The Coal Monopolists and tho Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.

The Coal MOnOp0lfsts and tho Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
The people, suffering from the high price of
coal imposed upon them by an infamous COM
bination of railroad and other monopolists, will
read with satisfaction the letter of our Wash
ington correspondent published to-day, which
shows that one great railroad company at least
refuses to join this conspiracy against the
public. Mr.. Garrett, the President of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has had the
good sense and public spirit to let out the Sc
cret of the monopolists and to oppose their
schemes for taxing the people. In his report
of the business of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company he tells us that the "coal car
rying interests of Pennsylvania have urgently
pressed his company to advance materially its
tariff rates." 1t was "urged that an advance
of one dollar ton which would make diff
$780, 900 month, the great demand for coal
would still cause the full capacity of the company
to be used" To gain one million eight hun
dred thousand dollars year was a great
temptation offered by the monopolists to
join their Infamous combination. But Mr..
Garrett, looking to the interests of the public,
aud, as we believe, to the interests of his com
pany in the end, refused to join the monopo-
lists. The comparison he makes between the
rates charged by other railroad companies and
his own shows still more his liberal conduct
and large views in the management of the Bal
timore and Ohio road. We call the attention
of our readers to his statement of the facts 1t is
gratifying to see too, that the business of this
company is increasing very much. For the
ten months ending the 3lst ult. it had car
| ried ,0SS, 304 tons of coal to market, which
was nearly double the amount Of the preceding
ten months. We hope the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad will quadruple or more this amount
in future, and thus check the rapacious mono
| polists of the Pennsylvania railroad companies
The Pennsylvanans are the most INSCRIPTIONS
of monopolists, and are continually assailing
Congress to tax the people of the whole coun-
try for their special benefit It is understood
that they are now preparing to have a most
formidable lobby at Washington the coming
winter for this purpose. We hope Congress
will have the good sense to spurn these men
and to repeal at once the duty on coal. This
is an article of prime necessity-as much 80 as
the bread we eat-and to tax it for the benefit
Of few Pennsylvanians is monstrous inius-
tce to all the rest Of the community.

BEAUTY IN THE SURF.

A seaside correspondent writes "The

as keen sense Of jolly righteousness
and happy righteousness as when [ first

humans are when we venture out of our
natural element into the element of the
fish. The change of manner which the
lovliest of her sex undergoes as she tum.
bles into the surf is study for phiIos-
opher. She has an air of dignity in
spite Of her bifurcated garments as she
walks down to the waters edge there
is something Of genteel exclusiveness in
her roien, in spite of her naked feet,
which mincingly go uncovered across
the sands; an air of keep a respecta-
BILE distance, please, am society
lady," hangs about her, in spite OF her
coarse straw hat tied over her ears with
a red flag. And presently she is in the
surf; big wave sends her sprawling
quadrupedly; she scrambles to her feet
half choked with the salt water which
has rushed into her eyes, ears and nose,
clutches frantically at anybody who may
be within reach, and grins Familiarity to
the whole assembly"

AFFAIRS IN LOUISIANA

Ex-Governor Michael Hahn, of Louis
lana, arrived in Washington Sunday
morning on his way north, where lie
will spend some months. In answer TO
the question, "What is the political
condition of louisiana" he replied that
they did not talk politics much down
there any more, but were devoting them
selves to repairing the waste places
made so by the war. Ali the excite
ment and bitterness of feeling of year
ago had died out and the people were
devoting themselves to money making
and commercial pursuits. Louisiana,
he says, is in very hourishing condi-
ton. All sections, indeed, through
which Mr.. Hahn passed on his way
seemed to be in very prosperous con-
dition, and he believes that in few
years the South will be the richest Sec
ton of the country. The cotton and
sugar crop of Louisiana will be the
largest and best ever produced there.
The cotton crop is so far advanced that
the worm can do no harm, even though
itshonld make its appearance. The
city of New Orleans, he says, is prosper
Gus beyond the most sanguine expecta-
tons. The people generally have ceased
to ia TX about the late war, and laud-
able spirit is everywhere prevalent to
forget and forgive the past as speedil y
as possible.

THE WALKER PARTY.

We don't believe there is a particle of
prescription in the Walker platform.
The door of the party is left wide open
for even Wells himself, the chief of
sinners, to come in. Only this-new
converts are expected to take back seats
until they learn their lessons and be-
come thoroughly indoctrinated into the
principles of the party. The reason of
this is, that the new converts are mostly
from the ranks of old political parties,
and it is absolutely necessary that they
should be purged of their old political
tricks and antics; for the Walker party
is party of Southern progression, and
we don't want to trust the lead into the
hands of chaps who have no idea of
party, except for the spoils they can
gain from it. Our platform means,
Southern progress and improvement
and as the old party tricksters have no
idea Of these things, we propose to let
them in when they desire to come, but
to be particular to put them in the pro-
stationary {" rink" until their education
is perfected and they become weaned
from their old tricks We mean work
work to develop the material resources
of this great, blessed secton-and
they mean spoils; and il, on probation,
We find their filthy habits are ineradica-
BILE, we'll kick them out of the party
entirely
The Walker party is party of mate
rial progress and development in the
South, and it has but small use for the
old party hacks and spoilsmen. 1t
wants working men, white and black,
to develop the wealth of a section that
| has heretofore been devastated and re-
tlrded in its progress by the operations
Of political tricksters 1t wants workers
in railroads, steamboats,, vessels, ma
chinery, factories, agriculture, commerce,
trade, mines, minerals, and every branch
of human industry but it don't want
drones and professional politicians, 1t
has almost new continent to open up
and "a new empire to build, and nothing
but workers are capable of taking hold
Of the herculean job it sets beiora its
| votaries But let all come, and those
that can be moulded to the new work
will be used and the balance cast out.
The reason we write in this strain is,
because some of the Wellsites, finding
they were mistaken in the result of the
election, and approaching the liberal
designs of the Walker party, desire to
leave their ranks aud join US We say,
come, and bring along with you any of
your old Bourbon friends that desire 20
enter. We have large supply Of back
seats amply sufficient for your accom-
mediation, and if our probationary
"rink' il not large enough w viii
make it larger. But leave your old
party tricks behind you. We want
none OF them.

gga. The Charlottesville Chronicle sa,

Bga. The Charlottesville Chronicle says:
Some of our exchanges make a great
outcry at the idea of the Introduction of
Chinese labor. We confess, we don t
see it. We have on this continent an
immense undoveloped country. 1t is
impossible to get at these great resources
without an abundance of cheap labor but
with the advantage of this there is no
telling what progress will be made in a
few years. We believe that tho labor
question is governed by the great law of
supply and demand, as invariably as
anything else. 1t is abundant and
cheap in China-scarce and dear here,
while modern science has made it easy
for it to be brought from there here
These facts decide the whole matter,
and discussion amounts to nothing.
