We applied to M r. Henry II ard wickt to
eiptaia at length hi position, as stated
by oar reporter on yesterday', and be
very kindly gave us the following :
AH?T!LLE, N. C, F$M, 1889, .
'Editor Cituea: la my opinion
tat pi saint "railroad commisaion bill,"
now pending in the Legislature it obnox
ious to Section 10, of Article 1, of the
Constitntion of the United States, .which
provkkathat "no State shall pas any
law iarpairing the obligation of con
tracts," provided the charter of all the
railroads of the Stat bare in them the
mem exclusive right to regulate freight
4 paaascger rate taal the charter of
tat Wester North Carolina railroad
company has. ' Section 25, of the Act of
usoa-o incorporating tout roaa rcaas as
follows: fie it farther enacted, That the
said company hall have the exclusive
right erf conveyance, transportation of
persona, goods, mercnanaise and pro
auce, over toe saiu rauroaa, to t by
theai constructed, at $ucb charge as
may b 6xtd by tbt board of director:"
Here, then, it a sacred, inviolable, irrevo
cable contract between the State of North
Carolina and the corporators the obliga-
tioswof which the praatut bill would im
pair. I he property or toe company
jvould be rendered leal VsJuable, aiid the
wrong by passing Such 4 sscaWr J
In the celebrated Dartmouth College
cast in which Daniel Webster delivered
oat of his best speeches, the Supreme
court of the United States say : "A cort
ttaatjna charter it to be held sacred."
The right of legislative control of cor
porations is well defined and limited by
decisions in the courts of the various
6tatea, the decisions of the Supreme court
oftbtUaited States-and by constitu
tional provisions and statutory enact
meats of the States and it is well settled
law that the Stat may limit the amount
of charge by railroad companies for fares
and freights uukia mtrmned by some
eoatrmctio the cbmrter. Munn. v. III.
M U. S. 113; Peik v. Chicago K. R. Co.
M U. &, 164, 17g ; Shields v. Ohio, VS U.
S.. 319: Chicaco v. Iowa 94 L' S. .155:
and aumerous other decisions all sustain
this poartioa. -
The pendini bill it neither just nor ex
prdieni, and ill-timed and premature.
Railroad commissions, unless advisory,
havt iat other States been an absolute fail-
am. No isaue was made of tbt natter
m the last campaign, and this bill is an
unwarrantable infringement of the vested
rights of tbt railroad companies of the
State and will only drive away foreign
apiW, MM TWUI RUI ttllBWCT I IK COU
claimed for it by its friends. Chief Justice
la the C. B. and Q. K. K. Co, v. Cutts, 04
U. S. 85, says: "A good government
never puts forth its extraordinary pow
ers, except under circumstances which re
aoM h. That government hj best whk-h.
while performing all its duties, inter terra
tbt least with the lawful punuitt of itt
ptopte. - ; , , . ,
Kailroad commissions are a step in the
wrong direction. They savor of oppres
sion.'and no man can say where leirisla-
tures will stop, for under the decisions of
of tut Supreme court ot tbe United States
each State has. the same right to fix the
maxftnura price of the good of mer
chants; the products of farmers; the la
bor of artetans and artificers, and the
fiNHJ pf9fcJW9IMl Ottft'i ifl ftaOrt, to IT JfU
lata every inuustry or employment,
trad or manufacture. Beakles this act
will entail a tax of at least $10,000 uoon
our people, whose taxes ait high enough
now. It looks as if t he promoters of the
scheme merely wanted to create fat of
fices to to be filled by themselves or
friends.
The inter-State commerce law will an
swer every purpose. Nenrlv all of our
freight comes from outside the State, and
ae complaint is made ol passenger rates.

?A ROBBERY,
Thomas) Creaaman Kaoeked
cnaclcM bjr Three Negroes,
Laat Nlajbt, and Robbed.
About 8;30 o'clock, laat night, Thomas
Creaaman, a white man, was knocked
doajrn and robbed by three negroes, near
tbe Murphy place, across Bcaucutcher.
Creasman was unable to identify his
assailants, and they made their escape,
after taking from his pocket forty-five
dollars in money. .
Tbe police are at work on the case, but
there is slight chance that . the guilty
parties will be captured, owing to the fact
that Mr. Creasman does not know them.
Creasman was pretty badly bruised by
bis assailants in tlie assault, but fio
serious wounds were inflicted.
- The attack was a cowardly and atroci
ous one, and if the offenders happen to
be caught, no mercy should be shown
them by tbe court.
