The railroads can afford to
submit to whatever inconven-
fences the railroad commission
may cause them. In the matter
of extra allowance for the judges,
the Senate puts 81, $50 cash into
the treasures of the railroads.
And the commission law stops
all free passes, a system under
which the roads have groaned.
Governor, State officers and
members of the. legislature must
now pay full fare. This will add
fully ten thousand a year more to
the railroad receipts of the State,
to say nothing of the. gain from
disseminating the free passage OF
agents Of the State, county Of
ficials etc., The commission will
be a bonanza to the railroads.

THE FREE COINAGE OF G OPP.
PER

Senator PETER, of Kansas, in a
recent speech, seems to have pro-
nounced in favor of the free coin
age OF copper. According to the
champion, he9':held up Il copper
cent and said that for fifteen
cents Il man can buy copper
enough to make two dollars, vet
it is good money" A CORE
spondent of the New York Even
ing Post approves this idea, and
demands that the copper cent be
restored to its original size and
weight. The copper mines, he
says, are entitled to same foster
ings care as the silver mines, and
he proposes that the treasury be
required by law to buy l, 100000
pounds of copper per month for
! coinage. This much to be said
for the suggestion. Copperis the
money of the well-tO-dO and gold
the money of the capitalist. To
count the cents in Il transaction
IS generally taken to be evidence
of a thrifty disposition. Con
sress could not, perhaps, do a
better thing for the promotion OF
thrift in certain sections of the
Union than to use the same in
dustry in introducing cents that
it used in Introducing the silver
dollar. If we need more money
for the transaction of business
every money metal ought to be
called into use to the fullest eX-
tent. 1t is an advantage copper
has over silver that it has de-
preciated less in late years.

INVASION OF STATES.

We wish the governors and
authorities of all the States
would see the necessity of assert
ing and maintaining the dignity
of their commemorative, and
protecting the rights of all who
come within their provinces.
We especially regard it desirable
that the governor of north Car
DINA shall uphold the dignity OF
this State, and sustain the honor
of the people by exercise of the
power with which they have in
vested him. The law was made
for the public protection; to pro-
tect especially, the weak; and on
V its vengeance was to be visited
upon criminals. The law alone
must punish the vicious, and
right the wrongs wrought by the
wicked; and always by due pro-
cess, and through the prescribed
forms.
Only a week or two ago an al
legged fleeing criminal from the
border county of Surry was
overtaken i'll Virginia by a
North Carolina posse, in pursuit,
brought back across the line
without any formality, and lodg-
ed in the Surry Jail. The prison
er is simply charged with crime,
and guilty or not, as he stood
upon the soil of Virginia he
was entitled to the protec-
ton of the whole power of that
State, and she was bound to see
that every form of law was OBJ
served and complied with in his
case. But the fact is our people
invaded the soil of the Old Do
miniOn, set her laws and authori-
ty at defiance, and returned with
their captive. The governor OF
State.like Virginia should know
how to resent this sort of thing.
On Saturday night, at the town
OF Ridgeway, in the border coun-
ty of Warren, the Virginians came
upon an alleged escaped criminal,
from their State, and took him a
across the line with them. We
next hear that they are met by Il
mob, and the wretch is strung up
to the limb of a tree and choked
to death. Here is not only a
t!elience of the law. but the crime
q niaaiercommittedi in the face OF
it.
The State OF North Carolina
was entitled to hold this man
under charges, until released to
the aut horitie> of Virginia, upon
the requisition of the governor Of
that State, into the hands of 'ac.
credited officers designated to re
ceive him into their custody.
And this is just precisely what
Governor Fowle is expected tC
insist upon. He has the power
to pursue and prosecute the men
who, invading our soil, violated
the sanctify of our State authori
ty; and he should exert that
power, and maintain the dignity
of the State, by requiring of the
commonwealth of Virginia Their
arrest and surrender to him fol
trial and appropriate punishment
We have the most beautiful.
system ever designed by men fol-
the protection of human liberty
and the preservation of personal
rights, but that system degener
ates into a fraud, our theory be-
comes a lie, the moment the hand
of the law surrendersi it's preroga
tives to individuals and permits
the sentiment of an outraged com
munity to usurp it's functions.
The rights and sovereignty o.
States become the bye-word of re-
proach and the subject Unpopular

State authority are disregarded

ExTORTIONATE FARES.

We want to see the railroads
reduce their rates for carrying
passengers.
Perhaps this will be one of the
outcOmes of the railroad COM
mission, and if it should result
in such a reform, the people and
the railroads will equally have
cause to rejoice.
1t has long been manifest that
railroad fare in this State was
too high, and that the roads
would all make money by re-
ducing it. But the managers,
! while daily demonstrating the
fact themselves, have persistently
refused to recognize it.
No week passes that the news
papers are not called upon by
the railroads to announce some
special low-rate return ticket
for them, and the result is, al.
ways, that on these occasions
the trains are heavily loaded
with passengers. No better evil
dence is wanted that these re.
duced rates of fare pay, than the
roads continue to offer them.
The regular passenger tariff
of three and a half and four cents
a mile is prohibitory.. No one
travels at these rates except the
journey is urgent, or highly desi-
rable. Hundreds remain at
home, make infrequent Journeys
or shorten their trips, who
would patronise the roads more
largely, but for the extortionate
cost of travelling.
But the most intelligent rail
road managers, men who are ap-
parently intelligent and posses.
sed of good judgment in Other
matters maintain to the con.
trary.
They insist that all go at the
high rate who would go at all
and that the rate makes no diff
ference to those whose business
or inclinations call them away
from home, And then they pro
coed to contradict their theory
by advertising for special occa-
sions return tickets at a quarter
to a half the usual rates, and dc
it as business that pays them
handsome returns.
The service of transporting
passengers in North Carolina is
| not worth the money demanded
for it; it is extorIion, and it vii
be good and proper thing to
discontinue it, and thepublic vii
be Indifferent as to the agency
that accomplishes it.

Every few days a hanging by
