One of the main objects of
meut should be to protect its citizens
from injustice and imposition. It was
never intended l;y the grant of any
charter, that any railroad comi)any
sijould be Heensid to practise unjust
discriminations ami extortions to-
WiU'ds any portion of the community.
A railroad company is^ chartered, and
73 chartered solely, for the purpose of
! sponsible for tlie safe carriage and cle-
livery cf goodi'. and prohibited from
unjust discriminations. If there is any
doubt on this point, (and we do not
think there is any) tho people of the
State arc entitled to the benehfc of that
doubt, for fTudge Pearson, in case
of Raleigh £c Gaston lb R. vs Kied,
sabotaiice declares, that the State
graiu-lng a charter stains not so .miieh
exercising the functions and perform-1 pj of one ol two contract
ing the duticj of a common carrier.
The groat object U tlie benoht and
convenience to the public \vitho\it in
justice to any individual or class of in
dividuals. On this subject I here seem?
to be an erroneous impression among .^- -‘..ons. ,
yteop'.-c, Itis too readily cc^ccd"^'., tho samo 13 t!io very

iiig parties as in that of an indulgent
parent conferring favors upon his chil
dren, and yielding to imposiiion. The
consequence of which is, such charters
arc to bo stricUv construed against the
discriminate at plcasiire in favor of.
or, against any locality as Us interest
nr inclination may dictate. Such is
not the case. State could with jins-
tice confer such extraordinary franchis
es upon any individual or corporation.
Their evil tendency are too transparent
to be disputed, and tho baneful conse-
quonces of eucli a grant arc too ynjust
to bo tolcr.atcd.
iV case covering this very qticstion
has recently been decided by Chief
Justice Lawrenco, in Illinois, which
clearly show's that a State Legislature
haa power to prohibit unjust discrimi
nation in rullw'ay freight.^, and in this
opinion, tho other Judges unanimously
ooncuiTed. The, learned Judge, in
rendering bis opinion, declares that.n
chartered railroad company stands on
tiio same footing with a common carrier.
Ho then proceeds to show that the
duties and Uabililla.s of common car
riers arc clearly definod by the common
Jaw. He says;

Althongli advice' on th.al score ha.s

tho duly of the press of ,the South to
impress on the farmers the ruinous
consequences of raising so nmeh cot.
ton, and neglccthig to make home

dearest, is the best teaoiier. Tlie
South has been revorcly taught and
with the results of a iieavy crop of
cotton before us. and hard times the
the universal cry, it does seem to ns
that tlie Sonthorn planters should be
thoroughlv satisfied with tlie experi
ment. It would seem a supcrllnous
task to remind them of the danger oi
pursuing tho same courEO, which li.as
proved CO disastrous in tho past, bid
the foUolting sound and wholesome
advice, from the pen of Eithop Pierce
is so timely and well expressed that
wo present it to oiir readers .and re
spectfully ask a eareful perusal. It is
taken from the Southern Advocate,
Verily King Cotton, like other
kings, is consniiiing tho sub.st.anoc of
the people. Ik'osperity in this article
of );rodnction, it seems, “tondeth to
poverty.” A very heavy crop has'been
made, and yet tho people are on the
rag.ged edge”' of in-solvency. The
nior; we make the poorer wo grow. And
yet the desperate bet is laid on anotlier
cro]), in the face of ten years' unbroken
uniformity of results. The h'eatlieu
adage^ ‘‘Wiiom the gods mean to
destroy tliey first make mad.” is being
actualized. No .soil, no rerliUzer, no
seasons, will save the country on the
line of its present .agrieultnral policy.
The result is just as disastrous on the
virgin soil of Texas as on the wasted
lands of Georgia. The man who loses
money in m.aking ton bags of cotton,
will lose yet more in the production of a
liimdred. This is the fact in expi r,-
eiice, in .spite of theory and flguilng.
