RAILRoAD COMPETITION.

A late number of the Baltimore Gazette
says that the s'true remedy for excessive
charges on Railroads is competition"
The Gazette, although not remarkable for
advanced ideas on questions of political econ>
omy, could scarcely have fallen into so grave
a blunder, had it been as devoted to the in>
terests of the general public, as it is to those
of Railroad monopolists. The well established
truth upon this subject, now generally recog
nized and admitted by every person who has
paid any attention to the Science of Transpor-
tation, is that the remark of the Gazette is
only applicable to particular stage of rail,
road development in this, or any other coun-
try. When the era of consolidation shall have
interviewed upon the period of competition,
then the latter fails entirely to check the evils
OF excessive taxation on travel and tonnage
The only remedy then is through the inter-
vention of legislation. Let us take, for OK,
ample, the railroad system of Great Britain:
In England aud Wales there are 2O4 COM
panies owning ,043 miles of completed road
Out of these, 16 companies own 1874 miles.
leaving to the remaining 1873 companies only
1,469 miles. In Scotland out of 35 COM
panies, with 2,5l9 miles, 5 companies own
2,46S miles, leaving to the 80 other COM
panies only 81 miles of road. While in Ire
land companies own ,597 miles, with but
37S miles to the remaining 81 companies
In few years more the whole railroad system
of the United Kingdom, at the present rate
sof consolidation, will be absorbed in a few
companies, and competition be confined to a
few trunk lines. Such competition would of
necessity effect favorably only the tax for long
distances, and through transportation, and
would be positively deleterious to those living
along the interior lines of communica ton
The English parliament, consequently, has
had to regulate this matter by law, SO far, at
least, as to prevent abuses
In the United States, we need no stronger
example of the rapid progress of consolida-
ton, than that of our own State. Some ten
or fifteen years ago, we had four railroads
either entirely or partially completed all of
them have been consolidated into the hands
ofthe Baltimore and Ohio Company. Another
through line now in process of construction.
the Chesapeake and Ohio, will doubtless per
form the same kindly Office of absorption for
all minor companies which may spring up in
that section of the State. The Shenandoah
Valley road, when built, according to its
charter, will only intersect one or two coun-
ties in this State. So that but for one or two
fortunate counties-our own among the mum
ber-competition, 80 far from reducing the
tariffs, is likely to continue to increase them
In the future, as it has done in the past. Our
only relief must come from the Legislature,
which, in the exercise of proper and legiti
mate legislative function, will have to regu>
late and apportion this Tax, as it does other
taxes. Other States have been driven to this.
and there is no alternative.

TAMMANY OUTCOME,

Talk of three or four millions stolen by the
Tammany ring iu New York Here is small
specimen of how the carpet-baggers, with the
help of Grants bayonets, have robbed the
South:
The debt of Arkensas in January, 1866.
was s3,252,401. Five years of carper-bas
Radical rule has swelled the debt to SIS, $50.
600.
South Carolina in January, 1866, owed
1851, 245. Six years of Radical bayonet
rule has raised her debt to s35, 900, 900.
North Carolina, with a debt of So, OOO, 900
at the end of the rebellion, is now blessed
with debt of s32, O0O,O 900.
And so on through the whole list of the
Southern States. And these States have not
mile of railroad, not foot of canal no nub.
lie buildings, nor anything to account for. a
dollar of all this expenditure. The money
was literally stolen, every dollar of it. And
Grant has organized confusion in those South
ern States under the Ku>Klux bill, because
the people grumbled at these robberies. and
refused to pay the enormous taxes levied to
be still further stolen.

Continuously throughout the session each
succeeding act has unfortunately increased
the distrust which its labors from the begin.

these latter days it has grown into feeling
OF marked dissatisfaction with those who have
been close observers of its course. And this
IS not the verdict of harsh Judgment, for
when its sins, both of omission and commits
sion, are seriously considered, they furnish
cause for much just censure. So much so
that now it seems to have despaired of even
the hope of elevating itself in the estimation
of the people,"

mony in favor of an idea which the Herald
has advocated for many years when it says:
owe have grave doubts if the laws for the
iore,bie collection of ordinary debts have not
worked more harm than good ever since the
hrst experiment We would be glad to see
every such statute abolished Throughout, the
world. There would be more deb, having
and fewer losses from bad debts everv vear
that such legislation was omitted. We would
punish the fraudulent contraction of debts as
a crime, but leave debt honestly incurred to
be settled by mutual agreement between the
parties to the contract. When this ereat re-.
form shall have been accomplished, credit will
stand on higher and frmer basis, overtrad>
ing and speculation will be discouraged, and
business of all kinds will be safer"
