enough of conference between the transports
ton and the agricultural and commercial In.
terests. We do not believe that the railroads
propose to destroy the interests identified
with their prosperity. The arrangement Of
what should be mutual relations comes as
much from an over quantity OF arbitrary
legislation on the one hand, as by the lack of
conference on the other.
We have now on the statute books laws re-
quiring railroads to erect and maintain par
allel fences with their lines. 1t is a dead let
ter. On the other hand, many landowners.
when damages for the right of way were as
sessed, received the money for building the
fences. but the compact has been dIsregarded.
1t Is very difficult to make laws which will
enforce system of administration in such
matters. and more difficult to regulate the de-
tails OF transportation, which at last will have
to be adjusted by the Interchange of practical
views, and cannot be by enactments, saying
thus it shall be. and thus 1t shall not be, with
saving clauses to meeticontingencies which leg
islation cannot always provide for and through
which the law becomes imperative. We In
dulge too much in imaginary wrongs and fail
to seek CORE ction of the real as we should. We
ask the legislature for more than II can accom-.
plishsin the details Of regulations which can be
better arranged between the parties who have
to deal with each other in conducting business.

RICHMOND, VA, rep. Z4JE, 1850
Editor spectator:-Recently you called my
attention to apparent delay in action on the
Commerce bill. 1t is proper that should re-
ply That early in the session, presented a
joint resolution for q special committee to
consider the subject of R. R. charges. &c. The
rejection of the proposition, I regarded un-
friendly to the object sought to be accomplish.
ed. Satisfied that the next best thing was to
await the action of the House committee
which. it was believed, would pass a bill. We
now have before us the result of their investi.
cations, sustained by a vote of the House.
The fate of the bill is problematical 1t has not
been received with that friendly hand which
augers certain success. A disposition to post
pone and await the convenience gifts oppo-
nents bodies no good. The friends of the bill
will make an earnest and united effort to get
as early hearing as practicable.
The probabilities point to final success in
passing something. The proposed increase in
the number of salaries of the r. r. Commits
sioners, to be paid by the Railroad companies,
is objected to by some; though it must be
said that the Railroad companies appear more
inclined to a reasonable bill than some of their
superservicabie friends.
