CBA& R. JOJES. .Editor and Proprietor eressman Cain, .of South Carolina wi miar loiu.t nrjllsKS. tn, r r " " K11""1 w i Kj 7 rom otin? scruple that fettec our THE PROPOSED OT3$m$I;SEttE,&rttJuft sembly by Mr. Br&ytnpt rMecklenburg; to authorize the exterisroir of the Hal- eigh & Augusta Air LinKailroad to Charlotte, and append it herewith. It is aery stiori and a very innocent look ing little bill, to be sure, to be the occa sion of so much disturbance. It is en titled "a bill to be entitled 'an act to ex-j tend the Raleigh and Augusta Air-Line Railroad from any point on its line to any point in or near the, city, of4, Char lotte "dnd reads as follows: ; " ! Section 1. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact, That the Ral eigh and Augusta Air-Line Railroad Company shall have the right to extend its road from any point in or near the city of Charlotte ; to adopt such gauge as its directors may deem i advisable, and to build such branch roads there- from as may be desired by it Said company shall also have the' right $0 contract with any other railroad cor poration for the use or lease of its road or any part thereof, and thereafter ,.Jo use the same in such manner as may be prescribed in such contract Sec. 2. This act shall be in force from and after its ratification. The opposition to this bill, and the! - only opposition which it has encounter- ed or is likely to encounter, comes from Wilmington and its friends and from the. Carolina i:Central, Railrodr. It is claimed that this proposed, line will di vert business from Wilmington and carry it to Norfolk and Portsmouth! This is the whole head, front and bowels of the opposition, which is entirely and confessedly selfish. Wilmington claims the right to control the shipping of the products of Western North Carolina on what ground ? Not that she is able to offer the facilities which other ports afford, but because she is a North Caro lina city. She says, practically, "we can not compete with. Norfolk; and Ports mouth when on .the ..ame .footing with .them, notwithstanding we -are nearer to Charlotte than' these cities; it is true the people of Charlotte and if - the west can get their products and their goods through with more expedi tion byway of Norfolk than:by Wil mington, but stilly this, is a North Caro lina ity and the balance of the State should be made to pay tribute to it Let us, therefore, go up to Raleigh and use our influence with the Legislature to funnel the State so that trade can find no other shipping and entry port and what boots it if the balance of the State does languish so long as we expand?" They may put the case differently to the Legislature but this is jusjj, what it amounts to. The General Assembly is asked to deprive a great section of privi leges and advantages which are offered it without money and without price, simply because the business of this sec tion belongs to Wilmington, and to give it a living chance to communicate, with the markets of the world is an infringe ment upon chartered rights. " Let us suppose the Raleigh & Augusta Air-Line Railroad building a line from Hamlet or from, Sanford,. through Moore, Stanly and Cabarrus: This would open up a vast area of country, rich in agriculture and' in resources of all kinds a country which is now shut up ivitnlff Itself rBut thlsBOTintrrnrast remain in its natural state, cut off from the busy world, because to open it up would be to inj ure Wilmington ! 'This i3 the whole sum and substance ot the argument. ? . . . But it is pot in behalFof the counties named, nor yet in behaif of Charlotte alone, that we urge the granting f this charter. It is frue.that it opens a new country and gives' to' Charlotte another competing line, thus enabling her busi nessmen to pay higher prices for, cot ton and all other products hut jit jjives competition to all the western section. Freights from the. line f the Atlanta Chuarlottekfr-Line wul'thus have the choice of one more route from Char lotte, while freights from the line of the Western 'North Carolina Railroad will have the choice of three routes instead of two as, now either; by way ofthe Richmond . & Danville Railroad . from Salisbury, of by tiie Cafblma Centrafor the new line from Charlotte. ; We are astounded r.by the position taken upon this' question by some of our Wilmingtpn friends. f They sem to" have entirely. lost sight bf the remain--der of the State. The idea of asking a Legislature to refuse' a 'railroad com pany the right to extend its line through " ricff country; with iU&wi iai - not only selfish and 'unpatriotic' in the; i extreme, but . it. is: monstrous; 0 Their position upon this question cannptbe defended upon grounds of philanthropy or business principles. crThey are play ing the part of the dog in the manger. They cannotn offer s use the;. Advantages t wurcji .other ports wg mL, md.AhmATe v , Fivu- ;poiuon u ao wnat they " thus confess they cannot do.

If , our cotton and other products seek Nor folk as the point pf .shipment, let them go there ; ifthey turn toward Wilming ton, so much the better. ' But we are no believer in the : idea of impoverishing ourselves for the sake of t a sentiment, - nor of shippuigoodi'by W& yrvi,. mington for the purpose of JbuUding it nprwhen we are offered the means of 'shipping thenl m6fe:?Chidapliaiid ini xpeditioh8ly by' wtry bf 3?"orfolk'ijs ..

Legislature last winter having removed the clerical force bf the superintendent and reduced his salary, thus leaving the office with little capacity for boperul and vigorou:? action. The somewhat critical representative neglected, to gay 'tEat it inight have been mucn better f oty the educational interests of both races m this State if members of his party had not stolen the school fund just after the war. But to return to the several conclu sions ol the gentleman upon the sub ject of the illiteracy prevalent in the South, we quote from the Washington correspondents the Baltimore Sun in saying that if Jus figure, can Jae relied upon they have more than the colored people" "would perhaps like' to have demonstrated." The correspondent adds: ; The Democrats are calling attention to the fact that if Cain's statistics are reliable, which they deny, they show such raoid advance in education on thA part of ihfe" blacks as to demonstrate tne following propositions J'irst, that the Democracy are placing no obstacles in the way of the education of the colored people; second, that it is no credit' to the colored race, with such an advance in j,, .education and with viae .. Jarge numerical majority thev have in manV section, that they should permit them selves to be bulldozed. These are hits very' palpable hits, and' the colored representative has made out, according to his own show ing, but a poor case against the South ern whites after all.
