The Southern Express.

Some time since we commented upon
the announcement contained in our tele-
graphic columns. that the control OF the
express business over The Louisville ard
Nashville Railroad and its extensions had
been restored to the Southern Express
Company. The fact that all differences
between the two corporations have been
adjusted aud harmony restored, is one
of congratulation to the railroad and
the other carrier. Under their
own express service, the L)uisli le
and Nashville found the business to be
troublesome and Improbable; the great
system of Southern transportation and
delivery of goods was obstTucted, so that
both sides have abandoned all legal
points ct issue, and commenced again
harmonious and practical co cooperation.
The fact that expressage has grown into
business of its own is now generally
recognized. On all trains, it is to the
interest of the public that messengers
should operate, and along all routes they
insist that agents may be established.
Especially, too, does the South seem
well satisfied with the business facilities
of the Southern Express Company. Ex.
tending over thousands of miles and en-.
bracing the area Of the South Atlantic
and Gulf States, this corporation insures
to the people Of this section safe and
speedy transportation of money and
merchandise. with prompt and reliable
delivery, and liberal allowance for loss
or injury which may occur. The
popularity Of the company, which is so
well conducted and SO literally managed,
is not to be wondered att has
grown up among the institutions of our
country, and its officers are among our
honored citizens. There is devotion
to the service on the part of those en-
ployed which Is as remarkable as it is
commendable-it being no uncommon
thing to find officials who began life as
office boys or "horse clerks" and re-
naming faithful to important duties,
have been rendered in promotion the
highest offices OF trust. 1t is one of Tue
corporations which does not content It.
self with brains and experience, but is
characterized in policy and detail with
liberalitv end benevolence which makes
it an exception to 'soulless monopolies.
Few have forgotten the prompt and
faithful attention which the company
gave to money and supplies shipped to
Savannah, New Orleans and Memphis
during the yellow fever epidemics of
1876, N, '79. AT the height of the pes
thence the energy and vigilance of the
express officers were redoubled for the
relief of the suffering, carrying all
articles free of charge into the stricken
cities. This conduct was characteristic
Of The company.
Such are the reasons, then, why
Southern people hear with satisfaction
of the progress, steady and sure, instead
of ambitious and grasping, of this cor
porati0n. And such are some of the
methods by which men Of ability, energy
aud capital, employing thousands of
young men, and working for hundreds
of thousands of customers, have con-
quered every obstacle, survived every
shock and invaded every section.
