Railroad Tax i'm Now Jersey.

Governor Randolph, in his last message,
lust made to tho jersey Legislature, says
that:
cover one-half Of the entire receipts Of
the State fund come from imposts put upon
two railway companies. There is so mani
fest an Inequality in the operation OF the laws
under which revenue to the State is levied
from its railway corporations that 4 thorough
revision Of them is recommended"
There are other railroads and internal i'm
proyemcnts in that State, and it is regarded
that the tax levied on these two, which pro-
duccs more than half the revenue paid into
the treasury, is unequal and unjust. We
think this quite likely, though it is under
stood that the tax Is on passengers and is
paid by the travelling publicity the citizens
of all the States who pass between Philadel-
phia and New York. Thepeoplc Of New Jer-
scy, except such as travel, pay no portion
of this tax; and indeed the railroad
companies, like the Washington branch Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, add the tnx
to their charge for transporting passengers.
The New York Tribune complained Of this
feature few days since because, as it al
legged, it kept up the railroad fare between
New York and Washington and shifted bur-
thens which the people OF New Jersey oushl
to bear themselves upon the shoulders Of
other people.
We only advert to this subject now to show
what Virginia, if influenced by the spirit that
has heretofore prevailed in New Jersey,
could do in the matter of raising revenue.
From the Auditors report we learned that
only two of our railroad companies, the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio, and the
seaboard and Roanoke, had paid any
taxes to the State; although the Orangs
and Alexandria had signiied it's willing
ness to do so, while the others refused,
pleading entire immunity from taxation in
virtue Of certain provisions in their charters.
Now, there Is no reason" as the Governor
has well said, "why corporate property
should DO freer from the burdens necessarily
imposed for the support Of Government
than private property" and while we
would not, in view Of the great service
rendered by railroads to the public, unduly
Cypress them; we would, II possible, COM
pei them to pay their fair share Of taxes for
the support Of the government. BY observ.
ing the New Jersey principle, though not to
the same extent, the revenues OF the State
may be largely augmented, and the credit
thereof preserved.-Lynchburg Vrginian.

1t weuld delight me to join you in doing
honor to the day and its hero, and in endes.
yoring to renew that spirit of energetic &C.
ton that in contests such as the one upon
which the Democracy is about to enter is In

That contest Is one Of vital moment, for the
elections of Governor of the State, of O
Legislature that shall choose United States
senator, Of congressman, and Of Vice-preSi-
dent and President of the United States; all
occur within this year. and al Of these will
turn upon the graTer ISSUES of national
politics.
The administration of General Grant has
been marked by repeated violations Of the
cardinal principles of free institutions BY the
Use of Federal patronage for the control of
the succession, by the adoption of a narrow
and bigotcd in the room of an enlightened
and progressive policy, by reckless disregard
of the interests Of the people when they con-
fiicted with his own or those Of his relatives
or .favorites, by regulations, def,lcations, and
corrupt use Of place and power, and by acts
eYincing O determination to substitute the
rule of the sword for government Of law.
The interruptions use Of the power and
patronage Of his high place enables him to
dictate his own denomination, and the acts of
those who serve him and control the policy
OF the Republican organization plainly fore
shadow its accomplishment.
large majority OF the people Of the United
States are opposed to the reelection of
General Grant to the presidency, and desire
to see change In the policy of the Govern
ment at Washington. The evidences of this
