Section 19 GG cfthe Code reads as fol
lows? It shall ie unlawful for nnj railroad
corporation, operating in this Stat to
.charge fort ho transportation of our freight
of any description' over its road a greater
amount as toll or compensation than shall
at the same time be charged by it for the
transportation of an equal quantity of the
name !ass of freight transported in the
panic direction over any portion of same
railroad of oqu.nl distance, and any railroad
-company Tu.lutiug this section shall forfeit
' and pay the sum of two hundred dollars
foreacnand every oflenoo to any person
suing for the same. No:hing in this chap
ter fchnll betaken in any manner a abridg
ing the right of any railroad eonipni.y from
tnakiug special contracts vrith shippers of
largo quanities of freight, to bo of not less
in quanity or bulk than one oar lor.d.
The freight wo understand from Ral
eigh to New York on a bale of cotton is
$L30 while the freight on a balo from
Smithfield is 82.02 J. We cannot under
stand the reason, of the difference wheu
the distance from PniithfieM tN'ew Yor k
is not as great as that of Raleigh. If ire
tan read the law correctly, it is a clear vio
lation of the Statute, and the injury that
it works upon the people is enormous.
The injury to Johnston county aJuuo cun
mt amount to less th.n $2,500 per year
The people of ou? couoty uro taxed $'2,500
that a city 25 miles distant may prosper.
If the law printed above is inoperative
to djtroy the on!, thcu the next legisla
ture ought to paes a law which is opera
tive. A? the last sows-ion of our legislature
$5,000 was appropriated for tho establish- j
mentof an Industrial school, which should
bo located at tbe town or city, which should
make tho lartjct offer of money cr ma
terials, etc.
Mr. It, P. Rattle and Gov. Scales deci
ded that $5,000 in money and $3,000 iu
buildings offered by Raleiuh w;is inade-
quale to commence on, and havo decided
not to establish the school at jreseut.
This ia the cause, aa we uuJtrstand i -f
the great fus between the llaloijjh papor.
aadr Rattle.
Without iviug the matter any fcr'oa
thought are iaeKa d to the oj i iou t jt
OoTsrnor SoahiJi and Mr, Rattle acttd
wisely in refusing to act until soma towu
could offer grenter iudueemeuts than
eeo.
To attempt to fvund tho institution,
"Which the legislature had in contemplAtu.-n,
with $l3,000,would be ridiculous, and the
project, unless unforeseen aid suddenly ap
pears must surely fail fur want of means.
Govemtr ScalvsaudMr. Battle acted
wi&elv,
Mr. Tngalls, vf Kansas, bitterly antao
biaod the Blair Educational bill iu tho U. S.
Senate last week. He said tho North,
Northwest aad West aid not want this
bill. Ou the contrary they spurned it.
The people of Kansas hid gnantly spurced
the assumption that they desired a gin from
the national treasury to susiaia their com
mon schools. Mr. Inalls was "fatigued'"
with the presumptions he had heard that
Korthcrn and Western people wanted ibis
moucy. "Let us drop disguises audcome
down to ettiiBvu seuse. Do cot iusuit the
p?Ile of tho Northern and Western Statea
by declaring that they want any portion of
thiaonaticn." The Mil, Mr. Iugrdlssaid
'Was essentially dbhouest aud States that
would take money under it were actuated
by precisely the same spirit that would
iicka pocket or rob a graveyard. (Laugh
ter.) It was an act f grand larceny en
the treasury. WThen the Stated of the
South aAed for this money on a basis of
the whole number of its illiterates above
ten years old, they knew and the whole
oouulry knew that ther were obtaining
laoney under fate prctecoes.
W have noti?eti in several of our ex.
surges 8vcre remarks critieiiing Mr.
Walter II. Pg former editor of the
liadeigh Chroakk, aud now corrc6rs.n
&ut of that paper ia 2iew York. The
ritiewma have been called forth by certain
f Mr. Page letters in which he niade
fnaxs Tery phuu, nd by no means flatter
ing sUtem en U about tne waj we aU down
Jwre ia Nortk Caroliua. Whether it w
the incisive trth or the glaxiug falsity of
fell sttemcn, which so disturbs some of
, it
our contemporaries, w uo no unarruLe
to say. IS very man must juoge ior inu-
cif. Thta much is sure'y true, no man

jffT3;
'! limn jyjy??
'a tttunly tt 'rk-Ilousc,
Th Fpri;ig cnn of our court has ad
j. milled, leaving six .piiaoni'M iu our coun
tyj-iil, most of whom are to work out
costs. Honor judge Conner directed
that they ho hind out, but wc apprehend
hut in nearly every caso tho cot wi'l bo
n largo that no one will hi) willing to r'sk
(ho chances of g.tting back hu money.
The result will be that they must remain
a dead burden oc tho county till tho cx
pit?ionsof their irentencrit, which ranje
from two to twelro month.
Wc beli.rc the sentiment of the coonty
would be to turn the intuatrs out at cue
free of all costs, rather than pay their
board far such a length f time n d low?
their costs in addition. Sis prisoners will
cert the county nearly two dollars per day,
hdng nearly seven hiuidwl dollars for a
year, an amount gnfficirnt to give five hun
dred children throe months schooling.
We sec no way of ridding the county f
the burden, but to establish a work house
where undtir the supervision of some good
man, those offenders whose crimes are not
punched by uupisonmont in tho peniten
tiary,
could bo forced to work out their
costs so that the county could at least not
lof'e anything. Wo think it would bo well
if our efficient and faithful County Com
missioners would consider the matter at an
early meeting. It might bo well to ap
point a committee tc ascertain, whether or
not U would pay the eonnty to establish
such an institution. It seems to us some
thing of the kind is badly needed.
Mr. F." X. Stntdwick, of Durham eoun-

the amount waa increased to $250,000 and
tho bill was referred to the Library Cota

Healthy Girls.

It is no longer fashionable with tho fair
sex to feign, delicacy, nor are the girls of
the coming generation actuated by an inane
desire to appear fragile aad genteel at the
expense of health. The scores of buxom,
bright-eyed youug ladies ono will meet upon
any of our public thoroughfares any after
noon is ample cvideuce f the truth of the
assertion. No longer do the fair ones seem
Wan aud pale to look upon, nor is their style
wf leoomotive suggestive of efTon; hut oa
the contrary nearly all seem stroug and
lithe of limb, and with cheeks suffused with
the ruddy glow of health. Doctors general
ly aree that there is far less of sickness
among the sex than baa formerly been the
case, and this could be attributed solely to
the glorious practice young ladies have of
late acquired of testing their capabilities as
pedestrians, and io engaging in other forms
uf light physical exercise. It is to be hoped
that the ood work will go on.
