GOV. WILSON AND TIE RAILROADS.
Gov. E. W. WILSON honored the REGIS
rER BY an agreeable call on Saturday, and
the conversation naturally turned upon the
progress Of the work in which he as q mem
Der Of the Board of Public Works is en-
gagged, viz. The annual assessment Of all
railroad property within the limits Of the
State. The Board will complete its work
this week, but viii not FIX the Valuations
until Il reaches Charleston land msturely
considers ell the data before it.
while Governor WILSON is not troubling
himself over the Wild stories that are in cir
e~nlation about his antsgOnism to railroads,
he expresses himself very pointsdly upon
the effort that is made in some quarters to
misrepresent him. His views IN this sub
iect as stated recently in an interview with
Gen. WIcKHAN. Vice President Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, is worth
outlining. he told that gentleman be was
not opposed to railroads but on the contrary
was wiling to do sll in his power to help
them along. BE recognized their value
and their necessity. But at the same time
abuses had grown up and were fostered
among these great roads, which to his mind
were very destructive to the interests Of the
State Of West Virginia and should be
stopped BY law. His particular complaint,
ana what 20 distressed the shippers of West
Virginia, was in virtually placing the State
vest Of Chicago in point of freights to the
Eastern seAboArd. A shipper at Chicago,
on any point between there and the Ohio
river, got lower and better rates to the
East than the merchants, manufacturers
and stockmen Of his own State. This con-
dision Of things he claimed, was destroying
fks St~tSe Capital wonld not invest in il.
Immigrants would not locate in it, stock
men could not raise stock probably, and
manufacturer and miners in the interior of
the State were often compelled to go out Of
boainess or close up their works. Why
should competition between the trunk lines
bring about such an array Of disasters to
the State Of West Virginia. was
ne Governors query. His scheme for

effective. That the Law should pro-
