The Railroad Commission
Bill.

The following is extracted from a
leading editorial in the Fayetteville FIX
press. II suits our views immcasurably,
and We are sorry that We did not write
it ourself:
y Il But we boldly assert that in
our opinion the late railroad commission
bill is humbug and burlesque on the
intelligence Of the age. II the granting
Of charter by sovereign power to a
company is in the nature Of II contract,
then this whole law is farce. 1t is IL
law passed in response to the demands
0f cOmmunisiic sentiment now en-.
bcdlcd in the minds of many people
the direct result Of the partisan political
teachings Of some men in Tennessee who,
unhcsitaingly and unscrupulousIy. su-
borIinatc all things for the ends Of Of
flee and its paItry cmoIumonls. We
have read the law carefully, and regard
II not uHl Y rcpugnaut to common sense,
but TO common justice No lawyer in
this State, who Is free from political
bias, will say it is either constitutional,
or i'll the classification Of legal limits, or
even n law with remedial powers in
hcrcnt and practical. The second and
third sections Of the act are more often
siye to the ordinary sense Of what law
and right are than anything We have
read since reading the histories Of the
old Spanish inquisitioas Indeed, the
whole act is ~ lii piece Of folly for II
llndoo lawyer to laugh at. To au-
thorize jury in any case to sender Il
verdict for ten times more than the ne
tual amour, Of the damages done is
high-handcd, red rcpublcanism, and no
court will ever permit il to stand rs
law in II civilized land. The whole thing
was passed, in our opinion, rs II reward
to men for political services rendered in
the last canvass The State pays
1000 per annum for all this tomfool
cry. We predict this whole farce will
result in no good to the people Of Ten
ncssec, but will only be- wcllilled dish
out Of which three hungry political sap.
suckers will feed and lattcn. We are
for what is right among all men. Let

told him all that had occurred. Now.
sir, /" he said sternly, IL saved your
lite last night, although believed YOU
worthy Of death. won't do it again
| saved your lite for my sake, not for
yours. My advice is that as soon as
the guard comes in from roll call you
get out Of Libby, and as soon as You
get to Washington get out ofthe army.
II you're in the army when I get out
LII prefer charges against you. Z"
Trembling with excitement, the
wretch, without a word of denial or
paliation, got up, aud as soon as the
guard came 10. got out The stalwart
six forwarded charges against him
from Libby. When they got out of
prison they found him out Of the
army, so they dropped the matter.
The traitor is in the army now, rein,
stated by act Of Congress, believe;
but the Major who promised to kill
him on sight is under the green sod OF
the prairie. Still. the Colonel weuld
make things lively for the traitor if
they met face TO face.
