THE INFLUENCE OF IDEAS.

We have observed there are two
kinds of men: One kind do not think
for themselves; they run with the crowd
and chime in with the popular voice,
however erroneous it may be; they DO
nothing to shape or direct public senti-
ment, and they never express opinions
likely to encounter opposition. The
other kind have bold, decided views OF
their own, which they publish regard
less of public favor aud popular ap-
plause; these men are of infinite value
10 community, because they shape
public sentiment and keep the truth be-
fore The people.
But, we have observed, this latter
class invariably have lot OF ''smail-try
barking at their heels; scribblers in the
newspapers, lick-spittles for time serv-
ing politicians and pimps for corpora
tiops iabber and chatter, but their views,
suggestions and opinions are always
respected by the sensible ard rejecting
part of the community. 1t matters not
whether a man lives in palace or how
el; whether he be priest or knavc, if he
has brains he will have influence.
These men are dangerous to those
who wish to hoodwiuk the people; they
are troublesome to time serving poIiii-
clans, hence every means is employed
to destroy their infuence--their private
character is attacked, &c. But a dia-
mond is as valuable in the rags of a
begear as in the crown of king; so a
mans ideas and his brains must have
influence, no matter what be his person.
al history. Tom Paine wrote for liberty

These reflections are suggested by
ieiune and puerile attack, in your pa
per, upon Mr.. Strider. Those who have
been reading the Register, and those
who know Mr.. Strider personally, rec
oenize the fact that he is bold, fearless
thinker, and has as much natural brain
power as any man in the State; this be-
ing so, he is certain to WELD large it,

shaping public sentiment. You cannot
break him down by personal attacks.
because mans ideas have their influ-
ence, although written in a Jail. De-
pend upon it, the &. 81 o. r. Il. cannot
cajole the people of Jefferson by SIAN
dering Mr. Slrider, and depend upon it,
they can't silence his pen or quiet his
voice by questioning his fealty to the
democratic party-they have mistaken
their man, that is all. The people of
this county have sense enough to dis
criminate between mans reasons and
lis private character; the latter does not
concern the public. When you read
strong, convincing editorial in news
paper, do you stop and inquire whether
the writer is a Christian or an inhdel!
We trust Mr. Strider will continne to
write and talk he is instructive and IN
teresting, and he may rely upon it the
people of this county respect his brains,
his industry, and his independence. We
are very tired of these politicians who
are always cautious and always hunting
the popular side.

THE RAILROAD BATTLE EN-.
DEED.

After the most animated debate of
the session, both branches of the Legis-
lature, on Saturday, adopted the MAORI
ty report of the Joint Committee regu-
lating the freight tariff on the i. & 0.
railroad, which appeared in Saturdays
edition of Register. 1t was passed by
the Senate in the evening just before
the hour of adjournment, and communi-
Gated to the House soon after the open
ing of the mig ht session, when it was
taken up and debated until about mid
night and was passed by vote of IS to
%.
Thus we have settlement of this
vexed question for at least two years,
far more satisfactory than We have here
tofore had reason to hope for. 1t is es-
pecially gratifying to know that it is
not the dicta of the Legislature alone,
but has taken the form of an agreement
between the Legislature and the com
pany which promises permanence. We
believe also that it will give satisfaction
to the people and allay the feeling of
hostility toward the company, which
will tend to inaugurate an era OF greater
prosperity for the road as well as de-
veloping the business interests along
the line, which depend in large degree
upon the advantages which the road
confers.
In addition to the concessions which
the company offered in the reduced
tariff, it further agrees to so modify its
policy in regard to special rates as that
no discrimination shall be made between
a large and small shipper when the lat
ter ships as much as carload. One
carload will be handled at the same
proportionate rate as ten carloads or
more. This is the situation in which
the subject passes from the hands OF the
Legislature, and we believe the result
will cause congratulation along the
whole line of the road.
The members of the Legislature who
stood up so courageously against passion
and prejudice, and have brought order
out of chaos, and have assisted in the
triumph of business principles over bad
blood, not only deserve but will receive
the universal commendation of their
constituency, and have conferred ben
eft upon the State that can hardly be
measured in dollars and cents. No
spectator who listened to the excited
debate on Saturday and Saturday night
will, We think, attempt to express the
result in more exact terms than as
triumph over bad blood. The opponents
OF the compromise were only willing to
admit that it was 'iron in the blood,
but when they have been purged OF the
venom which the heat OF the battle has
generated, and the second, sober thought
has been regained, we feel assured that
they will be the first to send concratu,,
lations "across the bloody chasm,' and
will join in the plaudit Of well done
good aud faithful servants. "-Uheehng
