A NEW I'HASE OF THE JIAILROAO
QUESTION.
I he puhhc 1ITC been very much surpri;--
e<J. wilhiji the last week or two, to hear that
the controversy between the two great rival
railroad interests in Pennsylvania, the At
lantie and Great Western and Pennsylva
nia Central, has terminated in a coalition,
or in of'er words, in a formidable alliance
between these two powerful monopolies.
It will be recollected by our readers that
the Atlantic and Great Wester®, in the out
set of the railroad controversy last year,
proposed securing a route through Pcnnsyl
vania to New York, without deviating to
the right or to the left, giving Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh the go by. This, as Penn-
wc could not countenance, nor
did the project meet with favor aDV where
a- far as we were able to learn. The Atlan
tic and Great Western finding itself serious
ly pressed, entered into negotiations with
the Catawissa Company for a perpetual
base of their road, which lease was con
summated; sometime thereafter a similar
lease was entered into between the same
parties and the Reading railroad. The
Pennsylvania Central issued an injunction
against the Gutawissa lease, to which the
Reading railroad became a party, and on a
hearing of the merits of the case before his
honor, Judge Read, that distinguished jur
ist decided that the lease was null a?id void,
on the ground, principally, that roads ofdif
ferent gauges arc not connecting roads—the
Atlantic and Great Western being a broad
gauge, and the Catawissa and Reading nar
row gauge roads. It is now apparent that
the Atlantic and Great Western lias accept
ed the decision of Judge Read as a finality,
and to avoid further litigation and difficulty,
has sought an alliance with the Pennsylva
nia Central.
The arrangement between these high con
tracting parties obviates the necessity of an
extension of the Atlantic and Great West
ern through Pennsylvania for the present.
All the freight of the Atlantic and Great
W estcru heretofore transported over the
New York and Erie Railroad to New York,
is hereafter to be conveyed over the Phila
delphia and Erie Railroad to Philadelphia.
It will be recollected that the Pennsylvania
Central railroad owns the Philadelphia and
Erie. I'he advantages of this contract will
benefit Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania
Central, while the greai central portion of
Pennsylvania, lying north and out of reach
of the Central railroad, will be thrown back
for many years, when all the world thought
they had a railroad, to develope their bound
less resources, within their grasp. Thus the
exclusive, selfish policy of the Central rail
road operates against the best interest of
a section of the State teeming with inhabi
tants and second to none in resources.
The Reading railroad, which entered the
Atlantic and Great Western arrangement to
secure an out-let to the "Great West," by j
this master stroke of railroad policy, is CP-.
tirely "left out in the cold."
, j)> r\ , • , .-. j oHMt on and
sacked. .. ~
• M m m writing this arti
w.ii' is to draw the attention of the parties
who control this thriving improvement to
what is generally known as the Sherman's
Valley and Broad Top railroad route. This
road was incorporated on the sth of May,
1854, under the title of the "Duneannoni
Landisburg, and Broad Top railroad Com
pany,'' with a capital stock of eight hun
dred thousand dollars. (See appendix to
Pamphlet Laws, 1856, page 608.) Up to
this time no effort has been made by the
Company to make the road. A survey of
the route into the Broad Top coal region
has been made, hut here it stopped off and
nothing has been done since. For the pur
pose of showing the condition of the Legis
lation upon this route, we will "run down"
the various supplements to the above act,
and we think that the route is almost, if
not quite as well, covered with a "mantle
of Legislative enactments'#as the Southern
Pennsylvania.
A supplement, approved on the fifth of
May, 1855, (see appendix to P. L. for 1856,
page 676,) changes the name from "Dun
cannon, Landisburg, and Broad Top Com
pany" to "Sherman's Valley and Broad
Top railroad company," and fixes the east
ern terminus of said road at the mouth of
Fishing creek in Juniata county. A fur
ther supplement to the act of incorporation
was approved the 26th day of February,
1856, appendix to P. L. for 1856, page 714,
legalizing the issuing of bonds, the payment
of interest to stockholders, extending the
time for the construction of the road and
validating the subscription of stock to said
road. A further supplement was approved
on the 12th day of May, 1857, (see appendix
to P. L., page 583,) the first section of which
reads as follows:
"That the Sheruiau's Valley and Broad
Top railroad company be authorized to ex
tend their road by tlie most practicable
route, and to connect with the Connellsville
and Pittsburgh railroad and with the Alle
gheny Portage railroad. '
The same supplement empowers the com
pany "to hold in their corporate capacity,
within the counties of Bedford. Fulton and
Huntingdon, two thousand acres of mineral
lands, and to mine and transport coal, iron,
or other products of coal .lands, and to use
and dispose of the sauie for the best inter
est of said corporation." It also empowers
said corporation to "construct lateral rail
roads, from the main line of their railroad
to such convenient point or points in either
or any of the counties, into or through
which the main line of the railroad may
pass, and to connect the same with any oth
er railroad or railroads, at such places gs the
president or directors of said railroad com
pany may deem advantageous and promo
tive of of said company. This,
we have an idea, is extensive enough for all
practical purposes. The fifth section of the
same supplement authorizes the president,
and directors of the company to issue addi
tional capital stock if they ''deem it neces
sary."
A supplement to the act of incorporation
approved 31st day of March, 1859, appen
dix to P. L. for 1860, page 832, changes the
name from Sherman's Valley and Broad
Top railroad company" to the "Pennsylva
nia Pacific railroad company." with ail the
former privileges and restriction*. The
second section reads thus:
"That the Pennsylvania Pacific Tailway
cnuitany shall have authority to extend
their railway westward to the State line of
Maryland and Virginia, if the directors
thereof shall so-determine."
This. it seems to us. is about all that the
company could desire. A further supple
ment approved the 12th day of February,
1 *62. P. L. for same year, page 115, ex
tend* the time for the completion of the
road "for five years from the thirty-first day
of-March, Anno Domini one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-four." On the Ist day
of April. 1863, P. L. for same year, page
206, a further supplement was passed: the
first section repeals certain acts changing
name, and the remainder of the act reads
thus:
"SECTION 2. That from and after the
passage of this act, the name of the said
corporation shall be the South-Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company, under which name,
style and title the said corporation shall re
tain all its franchises, immunities and lia
bilities heretofore conferred, or imposed, by
law.
SEC. O. That the president and directors
of the South Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny may, for the purpose of completing their
road, and its extensions, increase the capi
tal stock of the said company in a further
amount, not exceeding one hundred thou
sand shares."
By a close investigation of the acts of As
sembly, we are satisfied that the route we
have been discussing lias all the Legislation
that it requires, unless it should be in re
gard to the eastern terminus of the road.
Wc earnestly urge the Reading railroad
company to secure this route without delay.
At present there is no other practicable
route, uuoecupied, to the great West that
requires so little, if any, Legislation. The
people along this route will subscribe to tbe
extent of their means, and should the road
be built, tbe Pennsylvania Central, we are
satisfied, will have a rival worthy of her
steel.
THE SECRET OF OPPOSITION,
.Many reasons are assigned for the bitter
opposition which the Civil Rights Bill
meets with at the .hands of the Chivalry,
and their Northern allies, conferring, as it
does, merely civil, without any political
rights. The most satisfactory solution we
can find, is that the Chivalry, notwithstand
ing the inferiority of the uegro and his ex
clusion from political rights, are still afraid
of falling behind in a fair race if they are
r obliged to start even. It may be bad for
the Chivalry and their friends-, but it can't
be helped. They will now have a chance
to show their boasted superiority and if
they fail it will be their own fault. Toe the
mark, ye Chivalry. Come to time. The
negro is eager to obtain education and glad
ly welcomes schools, books, papers and
every means of acquiring information. Let
the Chivalry go to work, establish free
schools, introduce and circulate newspapers,
and educate their people or the negro wiii
get the start. So much for the foolish fear
of negro equality. If the Civil Rights IJjlf '
forces tbe Southern people to
schools and educate the.. a Z'lu --i
. , . t as well as the
rich, it will have -T - .
. ..... -- done more to regenerate
t fl
tic rtouth than all the legislation of tbe last
half century.
TIIE SUNDAY QUESTION.
Having failed to obtain from the Legisla
ture of the State an enactment legalizing
Sabbath breaking, the Philadelphia Passen
ger Railway Companies have resorted to *a
new dodge for the purpose of defying the
moral and law-abiding citizens, not only of
the city, bat of the commonwealth. It is
announced that by a contract between the
Post Office Department and the Union
Passenger Railway Company, boxes for tbe
reception of letters arc to be placed on each
car and tbe Railway declared a mail route,
in order to enable tbe company to defy the
law sof the State and outrage the moral
sense of the community. We had no rea
son to expect anything better from the Rail
road Company, but it is a scandal and a dis
grace to the nation that one of the Depart
ments of the Government should prostitute
the powers delegated to it, to tbe encourage
ment of immorality, and the assistance of
an unscrupulous corportion to gratify its
avarice, by a defiance of the laws of God
and man.
TIIE LATEST RADICAL OUTRAGE.
The Radicals have been guility of many
wanton acts outraging tho sensitive feelings
and invading the Constitutional rights of
the Modern Democracy. The latest evi
dence of their unrelenting and cruel malig
nity is thus related by the Evening Post.
"We agree with the World, and the Daily
Aenw, that the Constitution is going to ruin.
Tbe Republican party, whose fiendish hatred
towards the South is well known to the
readers of copperhead journals, has at last
succeeded in inflicting upon its democratic
opponents an almost fatal blow. The coun
try shudders at the malignity, the horrid
and brutal hatred, which is seen to animate
the Republican party and its representa
tives in Congress, who actually, a few days
ago, by a close party vote, banished whiskey
from the Capitol—the buildings in which
this rump Congress is permitted to hold its
sessions."
"Could anything be more outrageous or
unconstitutional than this? Was control
over Congressional whiskey spccifical'y gran
ted by our wise forefathers to the general
government? No! And if such control was
not granted, must it not therefore be count
ed amongst the sacred reserved rights of the
states? We do not marvel that the World.
the Daily Xews, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
and other emiinent "democratic"' journals,
denounce Congress as a "Rump" and call
the Republicans disunionists. Mr. Garret
Davis of Kentucky is probably more deter
mined than ever before to become an alien
enemy of tbe United States, and to do all
he can to destroy the republic; and no doubt
he will find a zealous ally in Mr. Saulsbury
of Delaware.
"After such an atrocious act of tyranny
and usurpation a* this exclusion of whiskey,
we suppose nothing more is needed to con
vince southern politicians that the Constitu
tion they so dearly love is shamefully violat
ed by the rump Congress, and that the
Republican party, which continues to gain
all the elections in the northern states, is
animated by sentiments of the most ferocious
and unrelenting hatred towards the whole
southern people."
THE LIQUID* Q ( ESTION. —Next week
our court convenes and a number of appli
cations for liceuse to sell intoxicating liquors,
as a beverage, will be made. It is needless
to rehearse the fearful ravages of this bane
of humanity, among all classes of society.
Judge King nobly took the initiative in
checking the violation (alas too common)
of the laws, at the last court by declaring
that licenses would be withheld from all
persons disregarding tbe laws, whenever he
was advised of such disregard either by in
formation or petition. Let any person
knowing of violations of tbe law by parties
applying for the granting of new licenses,
make information of the same. W here
these violations are known to the communi
ty let those who desire the peace and wel
fare of their people, protest against the
granting of license to those who have here
tofore been guilty of violating the law. or
who by their own intemperance arc render
ed unfit to be entrusted with license. Here
is an opportunity for some person or per
sons in nearly every community or \il!age
in the country to perform a work, for which
every good citizen will be thankful, but
which few have the moral courage to under
take. Where are our Good Templars? Who
will take the initiative? The work, once
begun, will be half done, only let us have a
beginning.
Texas Correspondence.
BEAUMONT, TEXAS, March 2'uh, 18(56.
MB. EDITOR: Since my la.-.t, our town has
been the theatre of considerable excitement ,
on account of the wanton killing of a Freed
man named Jackson Northweather, by an in
human monster named Buliock. The facts
are as follows : Bullock, one of the many des
peradoes infesting this State, was in a gro
cery drinking on Sunday evening, the 18th
inst. when he observed three Freedmen pass
ing by the door, he drew his revolver, re
marking "there goes some niggers, see tuo
shoot one." Fortunately his pistol missed
fire. Immediately Northweather passed from
the opposite direction, when he again drew
his pistol saying "there goes a g —d d d
nigger, I'll shoot him to see him kick," an "
taking deliberate aim shot him in the lef
shoulder, the ball passing through the body.
Death soon after resulted. The Inquest
was a very remarkable affair, for although
two of its members were in the same room
with Bullock, when he fired the fatal shot, yet
they returned a verdict —"Came to his death
by a pistol shot." One member tried t
have the name andyw eta stated, but was hoot
ed down, by such remarks as "Oh I that is
none of our business, we are only empan
neled to take cognizance of the fellow being
dead," etc. - Of course it was impossible to
effect the arrest of Bullock as he was provi
ded with a horse, and escaped immediately
after perpetrating the outrage.
The greatest animosity is felt toward the ne
gro, by all that formerly advocated Secession,
and who fired rebel bullets at loyal breasts—
another feature is noticeable, that the same
elements have to a man gone
President Johnson, sjSJjr hi s veto 0 f the
Freedman's Buiea^P,,;- and othcr equal , y
unexplwDnbh; * osi , ions . What it really
" lc '.\is Ido not know, but it is a fact, while
r the soldiers and tried unionists are to a man
dissatisfied with his course —as for the Freed
man, he looks on fearing that he shall be
crushed between the upper and neither mill
stone, i.e. -Sumner and Johnson. From the
above you can see how unfortunate must be
his position. The President may talk of the
people's being reconstructed, but I assuveyou
they are. by no means decently white-teasked.
Here in this district the lash is yet used upon
the bare backs of former slaves, and that too
by the sanction of a thing in the uniform of j
the Government. Yes. Mr. Editor, when !
these men went to complain to a Captain now
stationed at Jasper, and of whom they had
aright to expect redress, they were com
pelled by force to return to their former
master , and recommended to be whipped.
An investigation, will doubtless soon be
had, and the party punished. The Freed
men are generally prosperous in the immedi
ate neighborhood receiving from $8 to $26
per month being clothed by the protection of
the Freedmen's Bureau. From the best da
ta in my posession I think the Cotton crop
ill this state, will be an average one. We
have two schools established at this point for
Freedmen, and they are doing well. The
movement met, and still meets with oppo
sition, from the white people, and many
threats have been indulged in prejudicial to
to the best interests of the School, such as
"burning the building'' (Court House) in
which we conduct the schools, also by the
women, who threaten the "inarms" with the
very inelegant ride upon a rail with the very
uncomfortable coat of "tar and feathers."
But they did not try to put in practice their
threats, being deterred by a squad of a dozen
soldiers, who the morning that the school
commenced, marched tcthe court house door,
where, fixing their bayonetsand stacking arms,
they remained until thefirstdays exercise was
over. I assure you there was no interruption
either, but am confideut that it was obviated
only by this display of force. I think that in
time this prejudice will be somewhat allayed.
I hope so. Yours Respectfully,
