raj MAnoSE's express, and it could not

community 10 his theory that the railroads
should do their own express business.
What our neislbor yesterday said con-
| Meeting Tom ScoTT, JOIN W. GARRETT, ana
HUNTINGTON & Co. with the discussion OF
General MAuoSE's express is entirely out OF
order Those persons have no more TO do
with the =" diligent express than has the man
in the neon. Nor Go we see what ground
there is in this matter for illusions to aliens
and foreign capitalists. BY the way, has
General MALONE no outside alliances, and
has he nothing to do with tue foreign capt.
talsfs and "bloated bondholderS Happy
indeed must he be if he has not.
But we beg the Wing to sift from the sub
iect these extraneous matters and come down
to the simple question, which stands thus:
General MALONE thinks every road should
do its own express business, and determines
to do his Own, But nobody agrees with
him, and he thus separates himself from all
the railroads and stops express matter as et-
fectuay as if he had cut an impossible ditch
on each side of his road. The consequent
injury to the people along his line is very
great When everybody is against man
most people would advise him to submit
gracefully. 1t is not considered wise for Il
man to brain himself by running his head
against a wall which he cannot remove. II
the Iphig would calm itself and address some
wise advice to General MALONE it should
say something to this effect:
General, we know that your express
theory is iautless, but you cannot carry 1t
out unless you have the concurrence OF
other railroads, and wouldn't you better
suspend it for time, until you convert
those other roads: BY a judicious mission
airy system you may propagate your express
gospel, but until that is established your
neigbbors and friends must suffer from your
alLclOlbt W lolCc soul Cncoly upolt thC HOllQ.
eve submit the proposition with all due
respect. We know your indomitable pluck
and determination. But in the fight you
wage your weapon is too short to reach the
enemy. You WELD the fail most effectively:
but it falls only upon your friends. The
| enemy is not touched by it. You crack the
skulls of those who should be protected un-
der the motto of Virginia for Virginians,'
several hundred in Richmond are victims
| of your fail. We cannot explain away the
fact that Virginian is forced TO send goods
nine hundred miles out of the way when
they should go by your road to their desti-
nation, distance of only two hundred and
sixty miles! DO, General, suspend your adj
mirable theory for awhile, and 'let up on
our own people,"
That would be good speech, and made
by our friends of the Wing it would do ga
great deal of good.' That advice would
likely be followed by General MALONE. He
could now do nothing which would please
the people half SO much as that, and would
add considerably to the trade and prosperity
