ROANOKE COUNTY, April 20, /

ROANOKE COUNTY, apill I3, 1911.
E;Iiiors Of Dispatch,- The people of this
region. indeed, the whole region from Lynch
burg to Bristol, who are Interested IN eX-
press facilities, have been long ard justly
Gem slainiug Of the great Inconvenience and
increased expense to which they have been
subjected in sending and receiving packages
by express, and all IN consequence of the uu-
fortunate arrangements, or rather want of
arrangements, upon the subject that bias been
inaugurated and adhered to by the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio Railroad Company.
The complaints upon this subject are solid
and well founded, and loudly call for correc-
ton. Doubtless Richmond has much cause
to complain upon the subject, as her bust
ness in this direction, ut least, is certainly
much injured, so far as express facilities
could favor it and so of any portion Of the
country from Richmond to Bristol.
A merchant Of your city, in Il communica-
ton to the Dispatch of the 29.h instant, in
addition 10 other things, says: elf send
any thing by express I have 10 prepay to
Lynchburg, and then it has to lie over after
paying double freight. So with all remit
tances by express they always cost double,
no matter how short the distance is, if they
have to come over the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio road" AS it II in Richmond so il
is here, and all along the line of the road.
An arrangement that obliges parties to
whom express matter has been sent to make
remittances to Lynchburs to ply charges to
that place before it can be sent from there,
and this is the uniform requirement, is worse
than no express at all.
The rates of charges, too, are justly SUBJ
jcct to complaint. TO show the relative
high charges in connection with the iDcon-
venences complained of, ! state that bus-
ness man has just handed me the following
memorandum, with permission to use it:
II paid on a package from Salisbury, N. c.,
to Lynchburg, 40 cents; from Lynchburg to
Salem, 80 cents. L paid on package from
Canton, Ohio, (by way of Washington city,
to Lynchburg, 81 and on the same package
from Lynchburg TO Salem go miles, Is
cents-sx or eight times as much, according
TO distance"
The articles in the Dispatch going to show
the impolicy and injustice of this unfortu.
nate express arrangement give great satisfac-
ton to all in this county that see them.

Senator FRFLiSGuUYsEN, Of New Jersey,
in speaking in favor of the civil-rghts bill,
said on Wednesday that it provides that no
man shall be Disseminated against because
he is IAN American or en- Iri>hman, Ger
man or a colored man."
We ask the Germans and the Irish of New
jersey TO remember this insult. Mr.. Ere
LIsGHUYsEN is not fool. He knows that
there ere but five races Of men-the Cau-
cssan, the negro, the Indian, the Mongol,
and the Malay and he knows that Ameri-
c,ns, Ir>hmcn, and Germans are all CT one
ruce-all C;,ucasians. But he presumed that
the Germans and the lrish were too iSno-
rant to know this fact, and hoped to catch
their votes by making them believe that it
was IA bill TO protect them. Where and when
did he ever hear of an Irish or German
Child being sent away from white school

We arc gratiied to see that an amendment
in the bill concerning the Cumberland Gap
ROAD, empowering the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio Company in case that the Cumber-
land Gap road is not begun within two years
to appropriate the money intended for that
road to other matters among them the
building Of a road from Lynchburg to Rich
mond. That would be the strongest pro-
tcction to the Soutbsidc system of roads. 1t
should have been built long ago, and its
construction should not be delayed single
day longer than it is absolutely necessary to
delay it.

The DanviIle Gauge

-EiIl was defeated Wednesday evening
by An amendment moved 10y Mr.. kIRkrA-
TRICK, OF LynchbIrg, requiring that the
Dsn,illc road shall surrender its exemption
from taxation Immediately. 1t would be OF
no value 20 the railroad with that provision,
and so is friends abandoned the bill. " men
the Danville road was chartered the STATE
desired TO induce the building OF ROADS Dy
granting liberal charters for their cohstroc-
ton. Exem ption from taxation was deemed
:, wise measure to carry out the object. The
State should not forget this motive so soon.
l. certainly should not exact of railroad
company the surrender of such favor
for the granting OF SO slight a privilege as
the authority to change the gauge Of its
track.
Tie question OF passing the bill, however.
turning on the point Of taxation, Just enough
10 defeat it, we cannot assume that its defeat
is entirely due to the hostility OF the At.
ian,it, Mississippi and ONO Railroad. That
aad It's share N straDgliug the oil; but is
oeica, would not have been accomplished hut
Tor the question about taxation. Who
could suppose that nything bat conscen

our senator, MIR. WYSsE, to vote contrary K

In his message to Congress in December,

In his message to Congress in December,
1869, President Grant said:
"My own Judgment Is that q
specie basis cannot be reached and main
tanned until our experts, exclusive Of gold,
pay for our imports" Sc, &c.
He now holds different set Of views. as
appears from the following extract from his
veto message:
"While coin Is not used as circulating
medium, or the currency of the country i
not convertible Into 1t at par, 1t becomes ar
article of commerce as much as any otbel
product. The surplus will seek foreign

A, COLoRED SPEAKER Pro TEM.--WhiIe the
House was in committee of the whole on
the Indian appropriation bill to-day Mr..
Rainey, of South Carolina, was called to the
chair, and occupied it for nearly an hour.
This is the first time that colored man has
sat in the chair of the Speaker of tue House
of Representatives, and it was the occasion
of much comment on all sides as an jndica-
ton that the world moyes.- Washington tel.

And it was disgrace to the country and
to the Radical politician who asked the negro
to take the chair.

The I,ecislature-The Tax Law.

That the Legislature has unfairly eAef-
cised i,s POWER 10 the oppression OF the
majority class Of the people is unGues'1oha-
BILE. We suppose 1t is natural for even the
lion sometimes to question himself whether
Il is exactly correct-whether it is morally
,ich,-,lat he should prey upon the help
less: bu. the lion always decides moral
cuas,,on in favor Of his appetite. So With
mower in tic hands Of the human animal.
j; is prorc to decide in its own favor.
Thus We have the representatives eIec'ed
rrsinly by the real estate owners, declaring
tha; there cannot be an increase OF taxes on
the land, but the whole increase must DC
uron the mercantile ard manufacturing
classes. TIE sufferers by such decision 20
no, admire it; nor can anybody approve IT,
rot even the farmers themselves. lis erect
will he that OF all wrong deeds: 1t will IN
the erd benefit nobody. 1t cripples COM
n,ercc and fails to bring in the needed reVc-
rue 70 redeem the honor Of the State. Ii
rus restraint on commerce and diminishcs
the public resources by ilnrairirg the pros
pr:iiy OF trade.
j. is plain the Lcgis!ature-"ltha at least as
much humanity as the lion-had some
qualms abou: the justice OF imposing un-
equal ard heavy burthcns upon the conf
merce, so they called Conservative caucus
to consider the question. But, as The lion
ALWAYS does. the caucus decided that they
could not alter the matter. The lions ac-
vantage could not be surrendered.
Now that caucus, while plainly giving US
the opportunity for the comparison, should :
not, we think, have been held at all. The
Legislature had acted, and the caucus had
no power to alter or amend lis action. The I
Conservative party is so powerful in the
body that IFS decisions may be set down as
the decisions OF the Conservative party. In |
the matter considered the caucus was enti- 5
tied to s.ttlc respect, and had we been 4
member Of The General Assembly we should {
have felt none fer it.
But. We repeat, the meeting Of the caucus
slowed the existence OF some qualms OF con- I;
), cncc that would better be sluelched than g
J. tated without any good result, OR at all +,
changing decisions already reached. The ,
Legislature did badly. and the caucus only -,
made tic error the Legislature had COM
nittej. the more prominent and rcpul-ive.
Soon after the caucus declined to mike
any recommendation to the Governor he -
signed lie tax bill, SO all that is to be done
is to Try it upon the constitutional issue, and
it that is decided against the merchants, why
to pay the tax. The Injury that may be done y
10 commerce we cannot fUrcSee, but we can
at least endure the expressions OF the tax
for seven months, wien the Legislature will .
be again in session. Then we can again
app ca! 10 the sense of justice Of the body.
We may say, We think, for the merchants,
ria; if the amount Of tax necessary to pay
the public debt were equally distributed
amongst the people, they Jour meTchants)
would not complain, but submit gracefully
ana pay the taxes, delighted with the idea
that the public honor was about to be re-
