NUMEROUS charters for railroad COM
panies have passed the Legislature.
Among the most important are the
Georgia crossing the State and
running on an air line from Columbus
to Greenville-an the Yazoo Valley
and Mississ ppi River Railroad, which
is projected from some point on the
Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans
Railroad to Arkansas City, on the Mis-
sissipi River, ria Yazoo City. These
charters are precisely in the form re-
quired by the companies as condition
to the contraction of the roads. They
are exempt from taxation twenty years.
The general supervision bill which has
passed the House exempts them from
its operation ten years after their con
struciion. There is no obstructive leg
islation proposed, or possible, and
it is now left for the cor
porations after the exhibition of this
Astounding spirit of liberality on the
part of the Legislature, to go on with the
work. The builders of the Meridian
~ New Orleans road, every foot OF
which is under contract, is setting them
good example.

cotton crop: North Carolina, 81; South
Carolina, so; Georgia. Sc; Florida,
90; Alabama, sc; Mississippi. so;
Louisiana, Sc; Texas, rs; Arkansas,

THE Canton Democrat is hopeful that
the railroad from Arkansas City, through
Yazoo City, will have its terminus at
that place. 1t says the Chicago, St.
Louis and New Orleans Company have
forty or fifty acres of land there; they
have, also, round house, plenty of
side tracks, a Y and turn table, and
the impression seems to be very general
among railroad men that the road will
be built to Canton. Vaughan's Station
will, also, compete for the location, aud
there are strong hopes among the Jack
sonans that it will come to them. In
any event the rivalry will be generous.
We learn that on their recent visit to
the Governor the magnates of the Hi
nois Central and the Chicago, St. Louis
and New Orleans assured him that the
charter granted by the Legislature would
not be forfeited by failure to build
twenty miles of the road within the
three years prescribed by law. We
hope the whole line will be finished by
that time.

AN analysis of the apportionment
bill adopted by the Representative
branch of Congress shows that the rep
resentation of the Western States is
increased by seventeen new members,
and that of the Southern States by fif-
teen new members. In the East there
is shifting Of the representation as
follows: Massachusetts,, New York
and Pennsylvania gain the three mem
bers lost by Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont. Thirteen States neither
gain nor lose. Twenty-Five gain and
three lose. Texas makes the largest
gain by increasing her representation
from six to eleven. Kansas gains four.
California, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota,
Nebraska, and South Carolina each
gain two. Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois,
Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi,
Missouri, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania. Virginia, West

The 1854 yeas by which the appor-
tionment bill was passed by the lower
House of Congress, consisted of 142 Re-
publicans and % Democrats the 104
nays, of 103 Democrats and Republi-
can. From this we have assumed that
the bill is partizan measure in the IN
terest of the Republican party, and that
it will be resisted by the Democrats in
the Senate, and probably defeated.

A SENATOR opposed to supervision,
laid, on the floor, the other day, that
# the Democratic party, by enforcing
/ is platform on the subject of supervis-
ng corporations in the interest and for
he protection of the people, should
hrow itself against progress in railroad
development, he would find another
|Darty outside of the Democratic party,
br words to that effect. This is mat
ter that ought to have been thought of
before the Democratic party committed
itself to the doctrine. so that the lines
could then have been adjusted, and
those who could not agree could have
agreed to disagree. 1t is rather too
late to eavil about declaration that
the party has sanctioned by its unani-
nous voice in two Democratic State
But the objection that
The doctrine is in the way of railroad
is unWamanted. The example of
other States sl,oacs that supervision has
been the great promoter Of railroad enter
pr6ses, and Judging from what we have
elsewhere it would take
a search warrant TO find party OPP
posed to the doctrine of supervision.
# has been accepted by all parties as a
1ecessity where corporations have be-
come invested with a public interest by
seeking and obtaining the States right
IF eminent domain. The principle was
clearly expressed in Gov. Stones cele-
orated Burkitt letter (June 10, 1881, }
Is follows:
Four years ago | accepted nominal
ion and was elected Chief Magistrate of the
state upon platform which declared
Corporations of every description super
IisahIe within constitutional limits by
'tate authority, and subordinate to State
egislation, in the interest and for the
of the people" With that plat |
orm | was then, and am now, entirely
atisfed, and | stand now, as always, pre-
ared, in good faith TO carry il out. Every
Enterprise, whether it be a railroad, canal, I
actory or college which has sought and |
htained, in its construction an exercise of
be States right of eminent domain by a
ransfer to itself Of the power to take pri-
etc property against the consent of the
wner, upon the payment of wha; jury
review may say if is worth. is thereby
stopped to say that 4 is private business
yer which the State has no control BY
ecepting from the sovereign, and exercising
power which can be only granted to, and
sed on behalfof public enterprise, it has
leradicably stamped that character upon
self Such is the settled doctrine Of the
ourts, supported by principle, and sane
oned By precedents."

The Senate has laid on the table,
whence it Is subject to be called, the
general supervision railroad bill
(Which has passed the House, after con
sidering and amending a number of its
provisions The discussion of the ques-
ton has shown that the friends of su-
peryisory legislation are in decided
majority, but it has revealed differences
as to details. These dissentions, we
trust will be reeoneiled, and some meas
