Owosso postoffice controversy, aud
its columns were open and are still
open to any statement Mr.. Owen
desired to make as correction of
the matter he complains Of 10 in
tention of injuring Mr.. Oven in any
way was thought Of. The matter was
published simply as bit of political
gossip in connection with other items
of the same character, with no
thought of injuring any one.
The Herald, however, is not going
to do any worrying over this $40, 900
libel suit. 1t will appear daily and

The B. & o. and Bait. Sun.

1t is interesting to read the strong
and clear cut editorials which appear
from time to time in the pages ofthe
Baltimore Sun on the management
of the B. & O. railroad. The selfish,
exclusive one man power which con-
trolled the great road under John W.
Garrett is now pointed out and con-
demned in proper terms, and the
great opportunities which that sell
fish. self aggrandizing spirit sacrifi
cied to the interests of Maryland
and the city of Baltimore. This
great wrong was known to the man
agement of the Sun all of these
years. Why did it never cease to
puff the ''public spirit" of Garrett?
Why did it praise all of his acts
the grandest railroad management.
in place of denouncing them and
pointing out their defects as it does
now, since the sceptre of power has
passed from the house of Garrett?
Fat advertisements attuned its lips
to praise and blinded its eyes to
wrong and outrage against the pub.

com municated TO US, In It's semi
public character, and append such
remarks as we thought the circum-
stance required. The article of Mr..
Goldsmith published in the Country
Gentleman, referred to by our cor
respondent, and also by another
writer in last weeks issne will be
found published in full in our Farm
Department on tie first page. 1t
will be observed that the strong
point of the article is the one We
have been insisting upon all along,
viz local control of the roads.
Our present law would have to be
altered before this could be accom-
plished.
In our opinion it is very cumber
some and unwieldy law. and al.
though apparently endorsed by the
small meeting which assembled at
Elkton on the 10th inst, it is any
thing but popular and satisfactory to
the great majority of the taxpayers.
Any business man must see at a
glance that between six and seven
hundred miles of public roads is al
together too big contract for three
county commissioners to take entire
charge of in addition to other pub
lie duties they are called upon to at
tend to. This impossible duty laid
upon the commissioners shoulders,
stamps any general county Law for
the purpose failure. The present
law is probably about as good as any
general law that can be made, but it
is natural impossibiiity for the
commissioners to execute it in the
minute and necessary details which
the spirit of the law contemplates,
and consequently in large measure
must fall short of expectation. A
plan for the accomplishment of any
object which partially fails invariab-
ly entails an unduly large expense.
Success is economy. Failure or par
tial failure means loss.
Friend Balderston asks US to is
sue call to the 9th, 9Th and 9th
districts to assemble and discuss
this matter. We do not feel justified
in assuming such responsibility but
will publish such call if several
taxpayers of these districts append
their names TO call for meeting
to assemble at Rising Sun to suggest
important features which they be-
lieye should be incorporated into a
road law to make it effective. We
will do all in our power to make
such conference meeting success
full. and having obtained the sense ol
the majority q committee could be
appointed to draw up bill to lay
before the legislature at an early
day Such committee might be in
structed to confer with the commit
ee appointed by the late meeting al
Elkton for a similar purpose. II
sufficient interest is felt by our pub
lie spirited men of the upper dis
tricts to call such meeting the cal
should be issued in next weeks pa
per, and the day of meeting
be in the following week. at
O'Clock in tie afternoon. If there is
a feeling like acting on the suggest
ion of friend Balderston let severa
of onr public spirited men sign sucl
call and send 1t to US for publica
tion.
