BE lust 10 the Railroads.

In his inaugural address Governor Mac
CoRK1E. of West Virginia, counselled the
Legislature to hesitate before adopting
any but well-considered and conservative
measures towards railroads. He said that
the stringent laws resorted to in some
States were the outcome either of want OF
intelligence on the subject or else ema-
mated from persons desiring to make poll
teal capital. This Is good advice. Even
handed Justice should oe dealt out TO the
railroads. Let them have no reason &c
complain of unjust legislation and the
people no reason 10 complain OF unjust
regulations made by the railroads. "A
campaign OF education " taught the people
of Iowa a lesson which Governor Macon
KLE would impress upon the minds of the
people Of West Virginia.

TincOln and the Drum.

That was an interesting letter which we
published yesterday Though it was IN
tended for SUNDAYS issue) of the capture
in 1854 by CRIMES North Carolina Brigade
of a drummer and his drum belonging TO
the Marine Band. The drum was said to
have been made, SO far as the wood in IL was
concerned. from rails split 10y ABRAHAM
LINCOLN. and was for some months after it
fell into Confederate hands used by
the drummer Of the Flfty-seventh North
Carolina Infantry. Later II was the pro.
perty Of a drummer of the Thirty-second
North Carolina Infantry aud while in his
possession it mysteriously disappeared.
We cannot avouch that its wooden part
was really made from rails split by Mr..
LINCOLN. In the early part Of the war
great numbers of things were put upon
the market so labelled. In the campaign
of 1860 Mr.. LINCOLN was called by some Of
his political enemies "a rail-splitter"
(Which he once was, no doubt in deri-
sion Of his humble antecedents. Whether
he ever resented this or not We do not
know-probably he did not-but his party
made good use of the pseudonym in gain
ing votes for HIN from the working peo-
ole and from many prosperous men who.
