But the niational banks couldn't be deceived, and they and the ,ho drod tLionsands of officbolders slip plied tile sinews of war. As the 8result, never before in Ohio was ther, so corrupt a uso of 'Ioucy in an ole'ion.

WVill Yo Itllow une to say a tew words on the subject ? And, in) doing so, I will state Ir-t, that iy information is hasl from the best Sourcos. ThiH road, as is probably vell known, is uporited under the char ter granted the old Charlotte and South Carolina in the ycar. 1846. The object of this charter, was, and still is. to securo uiintorruplted comn nni]caW."t ion inalnd witi 'tle North o.sd Wst ?ie. 0,h:rlo tn, 'd a .v8 "w'ord~ingyv ine r'i.ed :re.uring thri the( tw,> - - hoinl be (.on. nt"d, IL 1 ,m thranges-8 otldA bc I.hle I:me, and that the onection hiuild "nvever- o Tsve ."

The listanco between the depots is Phiirty. live miles, the other three niles being, that portion of the old -oad reahing from Columbia dopot o the old junction with the South -arolina R ailroad, part of which is 1imoved, and none of which the >assencger passes over. I am free to! telkowledge there is no discrimiinait ion hero ; every pasenger getting if at Columbia is made to paty the he extra-fifteen cents with the ut,. nost impartiality. Buht I am not so endy to concede th6 application 'of~ he samne principle always in- the natter of freight rates over this -oad. I do not moan to say that' liscrinmiutations are -imade, to any rieat extent, by the pr'esenlt manage nent, in favor of particular points dlong thec line o'f the road, but I do lay that the rates have been so ar -anged as to dliscrimninate as far as >ossible against all- Southern3 ship >ors, and in favor of Northern ship >ors5. In other wvords, I say that he present managers propose0 to 'un the Charlotte, Columbia and ingusta Railroad as a feeder for he b'enefit of the Piedmont routo sorth, and the Richmond and Dan. rille road in particular, just as Mr. L.. P.opo, general freight anid passen - for' agent,' Atlantic Coast Line,.etc., used the road as a feeder for- the a.thmntie Coast Line. To effect this >bject tihe first change made was a ~emtporary incea.e of the Southern 'ates, and reduction oif Northern -ates. This was done by Mr. Haas' >rder early in September.' A -little atbr these were revised and th.ej donthorn"rates were lowered to last : acnsonVa figures, -Northern rates temnaining at the roduction., The )eop)le of Winnsboro have. suffei'ed miores froniY high -rates aund discrimni uations than any other shippers on iho line, and as their rates.have -been >r-ought more particularly to nmy uobice, I bog you will' allow me - to lustrate my' meaning by figures. . .I I bake the .rates :on cotton.- -Last teason.the charge to Chatrlestof' was $2.5O per bale ; 'to Now York" $4.25 see' bale.' 'When <Mr.. Hdas' took~ ihare of the rond he mna these ratf!s: To Cluirloston, $2.75 1)nr bale ; to Now York. 84 poi' bale -..25 cents higher S-oujth, and 25 cents lower North. A little lator tho rate to Clu-loston was made $2.50 por bale, Now York remaining at $4. Perlill somlic peooplo may not call this discrimination .'gainst Charles ton ; I do. Agr..L,, "ate on cot ton from Winnsboro to Columbia is cliarged per 100 poundA, . .and ainoint-s to about 81.30 pr bale, lialf of the -entire rato from Winn - boro to 0hI'arleston. Those gentlo imn claim that their rates are ar ranged, too, in proportion to the diAt ileui aI N weights, yet I am in foriled 11h.at shippors South from Winnsboi-6, -Ridgeway and Doko are made to pay the same rate.s, while Northern rates fromu Ridgeway and Winnsboro are 25 cents por bale lower thanl Winnsboro. Is this dis, crimination or not ? There is another light, however, in which the above figuros may be c-on6idurukd. The.y Ma all . dure.et viLolatiOn's,f /te chuter. Thtat in' strumnent distinctly specilies tho fol lowing limits v:ithin which rates imst fall '1: ioten conts por cubic oLot .er 100 1iile0 on articles of measnIeeIAnt, and 50 conts per one hundred pounds per 100 miles on goods shippd by weigit." A balo of cotton is estimated to averlago 15,)0 pounds ; jutting the distance from Winusbdro- to Columbia,--at thirty eight miles, as claimed, the hreight should be not more than 17 2cuts pur 100 pounds, or about 77 70nts per balu. The present rate is 29 eent per 100 pounds, or about ".1.30 per bal4. Of courlso the vio ba ioin is moro glaring in proportion is the point of shipment approaches Uoluimbia, rates being nearly the The writer is aware that the man totrs of the road claim the right to ship a balo of cotton as "an article .f neasurenleat." But the fact of tho set,ting up of a prepostoruns pro 'wnsion wvill not do away.vith cliar An-re), obiigadions. Nor will this !abiih, CVen if granted, do away with Jhu still greater violations of charter sown iii t heir rates on good1s pass ng betwcen statiotis. In conlclusion, let me say, Mr. Editor, it is time this matto.r. were settled. Tihe poplo along the line of this road have, since the war, b)een -systematically and most out r1ageously plundered by means of ex, 3rbitant charges and in disregard of Hie express provisiouJs of the char Lor ; -the people of Collmbia have >oon luhindered by means of dis-, riminaitions forcingibusiness away 7rdin their city ; . the people of lharleston have been plundered by neans of iniquitous contracts doing tWay With the very object of the harter. The constitution of the itato requires that the attorney eneral shall bring all such matters )oforo the proper courts for adjudi ,ftion. He has never h-td a better )pportunity for the display of elo, juence than is here pre.-nted. Let iimn bring tis mntter, forward at mco, and let the courts say to the thippers on this road wvhether they tan bo protected in their rights, or must remaini shaves of Northern uor'porations. To put it off for a ater day wvould be to wait until the >roesen3t illegal rates have been col ected jmtithe entiroe cotton crop;. HA R MON Y PRi IRS 7YTER Y.
