THE RAILROAD TAXES.

The announcement in the Free Press,
that Judge Jackson has injoined the
State from taxing the i. u 0. rail-
road, is subject of general indignation.
If we submit to this outrage we may as
well hand over the State of West Fir-
ginia IL. Mr. John Garrett and his free
pass politicians. BY rights, this cor
poration should pay tax on twenty
million dollars worth OF property, and
they claim entire exemption from taxa
ton. If this company is to be released
from its proper share of taxes, our citi-
zens must pay double. The levy for
the present year must be increased to
make up the amount our County Court
expected to realize by the tax on this
road. Judge Jackson issued his injunc-
ton nearly year ago, and the levy for
this year will fall short by the sum
which this corporation should pay. The
people should turn out and send to the
Legislature a man who cannot be bull
dozed by the railroad nor by any U. S.
Judge. This matter ought to be iuves-
tigated by q committee, and all the facts
published. 1t is particularly important
to find out why this injunction was
kept such a profound secret for SO long,
aud the County Convention should pass
a vote Of thanks to Mr.. Mason for find.
ing it out and publishing it in the pa
psrs. We must have man in the Leg
islature who will pledge himself to take
off his gloves aud investigate this mat
ter without fear, favor or affection. /

but here is a case which needs man Of
unques,ioned boldness and a first-class
lawyer; such man in the next Legisla-
ture will be worth his weight 10 gold
