take up a resolution, neretoiore onerea

Capt. Atkinson when he told that gen
flAman on the floor of the House that
his talk had cost the State more aoney

He proves this. He shows him by
whom the reductions in the salaries
and expenses were made. "When the
account is made up there is a credit of
$5,000 U Capt AtkSMn'' cemip.itje$
and Capt Ardrey tells no more than
the truth in saying that the committee

that this little controversy sprang up
and we are glad to have helped it along
The bladder of bogus retrenchment has
not been punctured too soon.
STATE SEWS.
not have the face to ask the Carolina
Central Iiailroad company to carry that
bale of cotton' those twenty-five miles
for less than ;lwenty-Av4 centa one
cent per bale per mile. IJut suppose
the owner wishes to ship the bale on, to
Wilmington; the charge of twenty-live
cents must be doubled for every
twenty-five miles and when the bale of
cotton gets to Wilmington it
has cost the shipper nearly &2.00
to be exact it has cost him $1.88!
From Wilmington to New York the
distance is about we think 600 miles.
We ship a bale of cotton from Char
lotte to Xew York now for $2.50, and
have done it often for $1.50. But from
the 2.50 now charged we jinusfc take
$1.88, the supposed cost or getfingit to
Wilmington, leaving us-68 cents to get
i b from Wilmington toXe w York ! Let uSf
however, rediel"taiffjoi)e4ialf from,
the above supposed figures; that gives
t he railroad 122 cents per bale from here
to Monroe which is such a ridiculous
pittance ifcdat it would not look at it
and gives it 96 cents from here to Wil
mington, which is a larger proportion
than it gets on the ba&U of $2.50 from
here to New York !
Could anything be more ridiculous?
It would be laughable if it ere not so
conspicuously inequitable.
It is true that the terms of the bill do
not apply to shippers of a car-load or
greater quantity, but it is the principle
of the bill that we are driving at
Besides, it , Jg.aa.iiot thhirge-but.Jii
,smU shipper thatjthe bill was designed
to protect, and ft is not the'' targe but
the small shipper whom it ruins.
This alternative presents itself under
the bill: that the railroads must make
such exorbitant tariffs as to render it
cheaper for the-shipper to haul his
products in wagons than by rail;-Jliis
bringing immediate ruin upon both
railroad and producer ; or else they
must accept prices which will break
. them down af once and thus indirectly
produce the same effect upon the
would-be shipper.
The proposition i3 a perfectly plain
one ; he who runs may not be able to
read, but he who stops and studies a
moment may.
The ability of the railroad companies
to evade this law, and the expediency
of their doing so, are questions - which
we need : foe:
asked if their chaTter'rfghts do not pro
tect thein from such legislation. Not
being a lawyer we do 'not know. But
one thyijjr, is quite, certain, and that? is

The House then went into committee
of the whole on the army appropriation
bill and was addressed by Belford, of
Colorado, against the section forbidding
the use ox troops at tne pons, uenord s
speech was delivered from manuscript.
He declared that in the contest in which
Consress was now engaged the Presi
dent might yield but the Republican
party never. He characterized the
Democratic " party of tha North as
cowardly and treacherous, and warned
the South against relying on it. Ail
that the Republican party asked of the
Sou tli was respect for the laws of the
country. They had been told that the
Confederates had crossed the Potomac
and seized the capitol. But the South
ern pendulum would swing back, and
in 1SS0 the Democratic party would re
tire to the rear as it had done' in the
past.
He was followed on the same side by
Humphreys, of ATisconsiu, who also
read from" manuscript.
Muldrow, of Mississippi, expressed
his astonishment at the means employ
ed by the gentleman from Ohio (Gar-
held) a few days ago to make party cap
ital out of the pending questions. That
gentleman, standing on his record, had
attempted to make the people believe
the Democratic party was now seek
ing to carry out legislation by different
methods than those heretofore adopted
by the Republican party which had set
many such precedents. His party was
not in favor of revolution. They pro
posed to resort to peaceful methods
an I constitutional methods. ' Then if
ti e President desired to stop the sup
plies of the government the responsi
bility would be on the President and
not upon Congress. He concluded: -11
the attempt to break the chains of
tyranny from the people was revolu
tion it was a revolution which the pec--
pie would applaud. But he hoped that
the President would not-attempt to
coerce Lngress; ne hoped mat in re
publican America the spectable would
not be presented of the highest officer
in the land putting himself between
ring"! the operation of the government and
the people.
Chalmers, of Mississippi, followed in
answer to Garfield's remarks of Satur
day and denying the statement of the
latter that the Southern Democrats of
1861 had threatened to shoot the "Union
to death. In answer to an interroga
tory by Price-of Iowa. "Where was
