Improvement of Dnr Public Roads
In another column, Hon. Ben. Kings
road bill, to which reference has already
been made, will be found. The bill is
designed to supply very pressing and
immediate want. 1t is the universal
complaint throughout the State that the
public earth roads have become almost
impossible, and producers have hauled
their crops to market with difficulty.
While great deal of time and thought
and money are being applied to railroad
building, comparatively nothing is done
to keep in serviceable order what may be
properly called the common roads-the
peoples roads-which are an absolute
necessity to the prosperity Of any coun-
try. We do not mean to disparage rail
roads. Those, in our State especially, be-
long to immensely wealthy corporations,
which are comparatively free from bur-
den, and are abundantly able to take
care Of themselves; but we do say,
that if the public highways, which are
free to all as the air we breathe, were
kept in good condition, our State would
be in far better condition, and would
present attractions and offer inducements
to immigration that are not now afforded.
Capital is always seeking safe and pro-
fitable investment in the way of railroad
enterprises. There is abundant evidence
of this in the case of the railroads that
permeate our State and hence capital
will provide railroads where they are
called for by the demands Of travel and
commerce DuL the people themselves IN
their own interest and behalf must pro
vide themselves with good highways for
their every day untramemlled use, or it
will never be done. Money expended to
build a railroad will improve the value
of the farms near which it passes, but
the same amount expended in building
several good dirt or causewayed roads
would improve the value Of all the lands
in the county, invite immigration, slim
ulate traffic, build up the town, and
create market for the minor farm, gar
den and orchard products that farmers
cannot now dispose of. Good common
roads always pay in a well settled farm
ing region. They cost something at first,
but they double the loads that the farmer
hauls, practically diminish distances,
save wear and tear, and give traveller
better impressiono of the country through
which they pass.

To show the suicidal policy of the
present insurance laws, so far as they re-
late to Life companies, it is only necessary
to mention that there are but two outside
| the State which have agents doing bust
ness within the State. The exOrbitant
privilege tax of 1000 amounts TO
prohibition. Several others have per-
mitted their deposits to remain in the
State Treasury where they were placed
as forced loan by the Republican party
when it had control of the State, and are
drawing interest upon them, finding the
investment safe and proftable-but they
have all discontinued their agencies ex-
cept the Alabama Gold and the Mobile
Life Companies. The number has con
tinued to decrease year by year until it
has dWiRldI1led di2yn e these hes n two. The
source owing to the prohibitory system,
is insignificant. The deposits are also
being withdrawn as it suits the purposes
of the companies making them; and it
may be safely predicted that in short
time the entire Life Insurance business
through agencies within the State, will
be entirely destroyed. As it is now
transacted, it is worse than no business at
ALL The State is paying much larger
interest to the Life companies having de
posits than it receives for privileges. If
H. Gno,o;oI oo0J;t;o,, &c tI,o Ctota will
not admit of the immediate discontinuance
of the deposit or forced loan system, as to
the companies already operating in the
State, it can at least discontinue it as to
other companies, and reduce the privilege
tax to something like the ante bellUm
standard and impose a special tax upon
its agencies in the different counties. BY
this means, numerous companies, which
considered themselves prohibited under
existing laws, will commence business in
the State and contribute to its revenue
1t is a fact known to the Legislature,
that very many persons in the State have
secured policies from, and are paying
premiums to, foreign companies which
have no agencies here; and the conse-
quence is they are receiving the benefit
of our laws, and drawing money from
our people without paying dime into
the State Treasury for the privilege. |
The member who will take hold of this |
subject in earnest and present to the |
Legislature plan for correcting the evils
of the present system, and inaugurating
a new era demanded by the necessities
of the times, will entitle himself to the
gratitude of the State.

To the statement that it is good old

of craftsmanship to hunt after the old
fashioned and beaten paths, but to find
out better and newer ones But to the
statement it is only necessary 10 reply
that, when the Government was found
ed silver became part of the ma

until its coinage was surreptitiously
suppressed by the potency Of the
bondholders' gold in 1873. To the
statement that the people of this country
are alone in demanding that the dollar of
the fathers shall be restored to It's for
mer status as a standard of monetary
value, it is only necessary to respond
with the following figures, which we have
found conveniently arranged in the

'Eha ENa"v9pr Trials.

The trial of the Kemper prisoners on
the frivolous charge of violating the en-
forcement law in having prevented the
late w. w. Chisolm from advocating his
claims for Congress, commenced in the
United States District Court Friday
evening. As before explained, the
Messrs. Gully were in the custody of
Sheriff WEIGH under an indictment in
the State Court for the subsequent MUIR
der of the said Chlsolm. The United
States Marshal was therefore saved the
trouble of bringing them, and a conflict
between Federal and State authorities
were also avoided. The indicted parties
SO far from seeking to avoid trial, not
withstanding its hardship and expense,

A contemporary gives the substance
Of bill pending before the House Com
mittee on Commerce to adopt as the laws
of the Nation, the acts Of certain of the
Western States designed to prevent dis
ordinations in railroad charges
which have the sanction of the Supreme
Court of the United States 1t makes
it unlawful for any railroad company to
charge receive moro from ono person
than another for like service binds all
railroad companies to treat through tran
sit over several roads as one continuous
carriage prohibits drawbacks rebate
ments, commissions and all other devices
whereby one shipper is favored over
others forbids the charging a great
er rate for a short distance than for
longer one, and requires all railroad
companies to keep posted copies of their
schedule of rates, which schedule may be
changed from time to time, but shall be
impartially applied to all shipments, no
matter by whom made The penalty for
violation of either of these provisions
is 81 900, to be recovered in the United
States Circuit Court, or District Court,
one-half the fine to go to the informer.
The bill is reproduction of the laws en-
forced by Illinois, Wisconsin, and other
Western States, to protect the public
against extortion and discrimination, and
is designed to apply to all the roads in
the country, and thus secure uniformity
under the clause in the Constitution
authorizing Congress to regulate COM
merce between the States.

a Stnte MiIitia.

A proposition has been made to appro-
pirate a sum of money for the employ
ment of the militia to aid the civil au-
thority in putting down lawlessness and
maintaining peace and order. This is an
entirely proper measure. Every State
should have we'll organized militia, or
volunteer, system, on which it can rely
for the enforcement of its authority.
The Federal army was never intended,
as the Supreme Court has declared, to
perform police duty in the States and
it is a perversion of power to employ it
for that purpose. To avoid all appear
ance of necessity for such interference
by the National army, and of pretext
for using it in that way, the States should
have regularly organized militia, prepar-
ed at all times for emergencies.
In our own State, there is but one Sec
ton in which lawabiding spirit does
not largely prevail over every other in
huence. We allude to two of the coun-
ties Amite and Pike in the Southwest.
1t is to be hoped that under the rigid
administration of justice by the newly
appointed Judge, Hon. J. B. Chrisman,
change for the better will take place
But in the event this hope is disap
pointed, and the laws are set at defiance,
it will become the duty, as it will no
doubt be the pleasure of the Governor,
under the circumstances, to come to the
aid of the civil authorities in the execu-
ton of the laws which he is sworn to
support. In the meantime, it will de-
yolve upon the law-abiding people of
that section to arise in their might and re-
solve that the innocent shall be protected
and the laws enforced. They must have
peace, if they have to conquer it.

TO Prevent Railroad ExGOrtiOn
and Combination

The bill introduced into the Senate by
Hon. F. G. Barry, provides that if any
railroad corporation, or the purchasers of
such, shall charge or receive unjust and
oppressive sums for the transportation of
freight or passengers, the agent officer,
or employee of such company charging or
receiving the same shall be guilty of ex-
tortion, and fined in any sum not exceed
ing two thousand dollars, nor less than
five hundred dollars. and imprisonment
not more than one year. Such corpora
ton shall also be liable to a fine of not
more than two thousand dollars nor less
than five hundred dollars. 1t prohibits
combination between parallel lines in or
der to guard against monopoly. Persons
aggrieved are authorized to sue for dam
ages in courts of competent jurisdiction.
Under the decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, State Leg
islatures have the power to prescribe and
regulate freights and fares, but it is one
thing to possess the power and another
to exercise it. 1t might well be ques-
toned whether it could be done dis
creetly and with justice to the corpora
tions; but it is quite a different matter
to protect the public against extortion
and the combination Of monopolies. The
movement of Senator Barry has this
object in view.

THE Holly Springs South says; "The
less that party, (the Democratic) has to
do with the judiciary the better" And
yet the learned editor who expresses that
opinion is presiding Judge and knows
that one of the avowed objects of the
Democratic party in overthrowing Radi-
cal rule was to secure a better Judiciary.
He knows moreover that he owes his
own appointment (to the place which he
adorns) to the success Of that party, and
to the fact that, besides his legal qualif-
cations, he was recognized as staunch
and true champion of the victorious
party. What new light has dawned upon
him
