RAILUOiD LEGISLATION.' f ; A bill to regiflate the tariff of charges on freight by railroad companiea "so as to provide Against discrimination has been introduced in "the i . Lfegislature That discrimination is now practiced by railroad companies against wayfstations, these having to pay more, sometimes, for the same freight than j terminal points situated further from the point of shipment, is a fact which cannot be successfully denied ; but a member made a wise suggestion upon: the intro duction of the bill, in saying that the measure is one which requires consid eration. If there is any one phing that the average legislator knows less about than another it is the railroad problem, particularly so much of it as relates to . the carriage of and charges upon freight; and any slip-shod legislation is liable to leave the matter much worse than it was found. The South Carolina Legislature, in acting upon a similar - bill, furnished a striking instance of. how a dignified body may "put its foot in it" and never learn that it has blundered until it is too late, j It enact ed a law at the session, we believe, be fore the last the essence of which was that railroads having their bracks in South Carolina might charge' $1.00 per 100 fts. for transportation, of freight over 100 miles of road, or if it was pre ferred, might charge at the rate of so much perhaps 15 cents per cubic foot for 100 miles, and proportionally less for a lesser distance. The different classes of freight were not taken into account nd no provision was made for the charges for transportation over 100 miles. Railroad men examined the bill and found that under its provisions they might also charge $2 for 100 fts. carried 200 miles, or $6 if it was carried 300 miles. It was found, further, that while the roads could make but little carrying lumber, lead or pig iron by the' cubic foot, they might charge for the transportation of cotton by the cubic foot if they so elected and collect about . five dollars and.seventy-five cents on a bale carried 100 miles. Thus the people were left entirely at the mercy of the railroads, and the had bill become a law and the railroads chosen to exercise the rights vested in them under it the constituents of those law-makers would have been left in a most pitiable plight. ; ; We point this case out to our law makers as a frightful example! IlAless they are careful in what they do, they 'may, in attempting to bridle the "soul less corporations," turn them entirely loose and place the noses of the people at the grind-stone. . . j Hampton at the Soutii Carolina State House. Gov. Hampton, since the change for the better in his condi tion, has been improving more rapidly than tiad been hoped for. He has not only taken a buggy ride into j;he coun try, and arranged for a Florida trip, but Wednesday he visited the State capitol for the first time since the ac cident. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston New and Courier tele graphs'that paper concerning! the Gov ernor's Jrisit to the State House : He sat for some time in his office, to gether with Gov. Simpson, and was then called upon by the beads of the departments and many other gentle men, who hastened to pay their re spects upon neanng or his presence in town. He has not yet fully recovered his strength, but is looking well, and is snreiy, u siowiy, improving. ; If Settle is with Him. The New York Herald says : Several ex-rebel soldiers sav that Grant can carry Georgia, Florida, Lou isiana, and both the Carolinias in 1880 if Tom Settle, of North Carolina, is on the A A. !i1 .1v ucKec wun mm. j Let us put it differently. Settle may (possibly) be able to carry som of these States in 1880 with Grant on the ticket with him. It is a never-to-be-forgotten fact that -"Mr. Buttles " as his dusky ad mirers call him,, failed signally, to carry one of these States in 1876 when he was on a ticket by himself, so to speak. In the event of future candidatures it will not be Grant who will need Settle's help but Settle who will need Grant's. AJ1 of the State papers which have ex pressed any opinion at all on .the sub ject are decidedly in 1 favor of 1,he aboli tion of this relic of Radical iniquity, the State canvassing board. What will the Legislature do about it ? In this as in most things the old way is the best, and the very name of canvassing or return ing board is a stench in the nbstrils of hone3t people. v It is not too late to congratulate the Lynchburg News upon having recently completed its thirteenth volume.
