The Radical papers are denouncing Judgo Iloinl for this decision, and intimate that ho has "sold out to the lJourhons." The decision is only in accordance with well ostahlisl.ed law, nnd could scarcely have boon other wise. Tiik New York Herald discusses the railroad problem as follows: The hope tlrnt the States of themselves could solve thin intricate problem and remedy the evils that have, arisen out of the cupidity and corruption of our railroad management have proved to be fallacious. Hallway commissions have boon appointed in more than twenty States, but they are powerless over the roads the moment the geographical boundaries of their respective Commonwealths are passed. There is no unity of action between them. One policy prevails in owe State and another in anolhe.r.

The necessity of bringing the Inter state lines under some one controlling power is eonreded on every hand, and there mw t.<? J be no place to lodge it except in the hands of the ticiipval GovTTninent. The experience of every day shows that the railroad managers cannot bo trusted. Neither the interest of their own stockholders nov of I the fai nter, the merchant or the consumer are safe in their hands- Directors of roads, individually or collectively, huihl rival i mutes to their own lines and then vote for a consolidation ab atn enormous advance on tile actual <?osf. nf Mm wnrk lc uliiktUo rohhery of their own stockholders. ''Wars" ftve made from time fc) time fur purely speculative purposes in Wall street, and London. Powerful lohhiiM are maintained nt the capitals of States for the purpose of .moulding and influencing legislation.
