TBI KilXJSQ OF STOCK IY RAILWAYS.
' ' - .. .V-.VV:8c A;vyV ' iiliBi;
We notice among the bills, passed, by
the Legislature this week, one Ithat if
applied to all the roads in -thef State,
would save the lives of -many cattle
We refer to the bill that makes engi
neers and conductors on the Carolina
Central Railway liable to indictment
for running oyer stock. ;We do not
think it just, however, to make this law
apply to the Carolina Central Railway
only as we presume quite - asi much
care is taken by its employes as by those
of any road, to spare the lives of the
stock- of those living on the road. 9 A
law requiring a jf airer and more prompt
settlement of damages for killed and
crippled stock would be nearer what
the people need. Monroe Enquirer.
Some of the above propositions! accord
with our views ; from others we dissent
totally. We do not agree wth the
spirit of . the bill as originallyf intro
duced There Is neither rhyme nor
reason in endeavoring to hold engineers
and conductors responsible to the law
for animals ; killed by trains of J which
they may have charge. Conductors are
back in their trains and have no more
knowledge of what is ahead than the
passengers, and no more ability to pre
vent the killing; of a cow than one of
these. As the supposition, manifest in
this bilListhat engineers kill cattle from
pure wantonness, the most charitable
construction that can be put upon this
is that it proceeds from pure ignorance.
Any man ought to know that there are
few things which an engineer dreads
more than to run over a cow. To do so
is to run a heavy risk of ditching his
engine if not his whole train, and to
take the attendant risk! of losing his
own life along with that of numbers
of passengers.' Cattle are frequently
killed and no damage results to the
train, but great risk is encountered and
accidents do often result from this
cause. Conductors have no more to do
with the killing of cattle than the man
in the moon; engineers, however . wan
ton they may be, and however little
they may have at heart their companies
interests, will always have an eye to
their jobs and to their precious necks
and kill as few as possible.
But if the law is fair for one set of
men it is fair for all. To single out the
Carolina Central Railroad and apply it
there alone is unjust and looks spiteful.
Such legislation should be beneath the
dignity of a General Assembly. The
bill, we believe, has not passed the
House ; we hope it will not. We are
quite well aware of the fact that it is
both fashionable and popular to legis
late against railroads, and unfashion
able and unpopular to say a word in
their favor; nevertheless, we lift a
voice against any uch discrimination
and for the credit of the Legislature
trust that it will put on our books no
such puerile statute as that proposed.
Our Monroe contemporary, speaks of
the need of "a fairer and more prompt
settlement of-damages" for cattle kill
ed or injured-on railroads. The rail
roads might insist with some cause for
more " fairness." It is notorious that
they have to pay largely in excess of
its valne for everything killed on their
tracks. When a $10 cow, too weak
from starvation to be able to step off
the tracks is killed by a train, she in
stantly becomes a blooded animal worth,
$25 or nothing. The owner summons
his neighbors and they put an extrava
gant value upon her, and the railroad
has to dance up with enough money to
buy two better cows. This is a solemn
fact. We do not mean to say ihat this
is always the case ; it is too frequently
so, however. - The railroads may ami
do sometimes bear down very heavily
upon jthe jpeopjt Jbutj therev are some
people who, wtin they have the oppor
tunity, do not hesitate-for ti moment to
"dig" the railroad and.rtbAt mercilessly.
As to this matter of paying for cattle
killed, the jgorsuitv pf forcing railroads
to do it "is" be doubted anyway. The!

The "real remedy;; for j the existing s
wrong, if wrong exists and a remedy' is
sought, is onVwhlch; will1 confer many
other benefibt this will be one of
the least of them. We refer to the gen
eral introduction of the stock law.' Un
