Of course Democrats Ls.t - slmi yotes by assailing bainke, just as there were deserters from tha 1.-pr ty when Jackson vetoed the~ bill to charter the old national banks. But our losses we're more than com ponpatd, by gains from thi other TIIE DEMOCRACY AND THE BANKS. "'th6 antagonism between Democ. racy and tile National Bank systeim was in evitablo.

This road, as is pro bably well (iowNi, is uperated under the char ter granted the old Chirlotte and iouth Carolina in tho ycar 1846. le object of this chlartor, was, and ;till is. to sec1ro unintorruped com 111nliv-1tion l-'(1inld wvith 'the Nortli .id Wot al: Hot tn, ailtlar-lan .hV thetw1%sshn ecn t-Nvd, th atk . g )ng1 'e on hW 111Me, and that the wnleec 1 ion hnd"never bo s.cA!d."

Vhiether this 1gree.tont is still ill orce 1elmains to be Imade lknown by Ir. Ha:ts." It appears thiAt tho torthern-bonnd passengcr trains iow connect.

The istaic between the depots is hirty-five miles, the other throo iles being, that portion of the old oad rea6ing froni Colambia depot o the old jiuction with the South larolina Railroad, part of which is emoved, and none of which the assen4ger, passes over. I am froo to ekuowledge there is 110 discrim1ina ion bloro ; over'y passengor getting 1.' at Columbia is made to pay~ the hie oxtra-fifteen cnts with the ut-, loSt impllartiallity. But I am nlot so endly to concedo thle aplieat,ion -of 1h0 same pr'inlcile always in-' the intter of freight rates over this oad. I do not mean to say that iscriiiations ar'e .made,. to any ireat extent, by tile presOInt manlage lont, ill favor of par'ticular points long the line o~f the road, but iF do ity that tihe rates have boon so ar ringed as to discriinato as far as ossiblonagainst all' Southern ship er's, and in favor of Northern ship eo's. In other' wvords, I say thlat boe pre'senlt managers priopose to un tile Charlotte, Columbia andl( aiugusta IRaiilroad as a feeder for hIe b'enlefi't of -the Piedmont route for'th, and tihe Rlichmon'fd anld Dan-~ illo road ini par1.ticlarL, just as Mr. . Popo, genoral freight ando passen 'o1 a'genlt, Atilanltic Coaist Line, - etc., sod tile road as a feedor for the Lthmftic Coast Line. To offect this bjoet tile fi'st change mnado w~as a emrpor'ary increasei of the Southern atos, and reduction of Northern aites. This was done by Mr. Haas' r'der early in September.i A -little itbr these were revised and the onlthernl"1ates were lowvered' to last Casonl' figuris, 'Northern r'ates emining at tihe reduction., The ieople of Winnsboro havo' sufreed soro from high rates amd dlisdrimni ations thn any other shippers on ho line, and as .their rates.have been r'ought more particularly to niy obice, I beg you will- allowv me -'to lust-rato mly- meiianing by figures. - -I ake the .rates :on cotton.- -Last eason. the charf o to ChiarlestoW'was 2.50 pot bale ; 'to New York:) $4.25 eI- bale.'- When <Mr. - Hdae took hb.rge of the road he mpade these rate% : To Charloston, .$2.75 per bale ; to Now York. $4 pei bale--25 Cents higher Sonth, aind. 25 cents lower North. A littlo later tho rate to Charleston was mado $2.50 por hale, Now York remaining at $. 'Porhaps some i,peoplo may not call this discrimination against Charles ton ; I do. Agair, the rate on cot ton from Wvilnshoro to Columbia is charged per 100 polild(b, . _and amniiits to Iboult $1.30 por bale, lalf of the entire rate from Wins boro to Charleston. Thoso gotlo im1(1n Claim that their rates are ar ranged, too. in proportion to the diAt uices and weights, yet I a1 111 formed' flat hippers South from Winnisbor6, -Ridgeway and Doko are made to pay the same rates, while Northern rates fromn' Ridgeway and Winnsboro are 25 cents per bale lower than Winnsboro. Ts this dis, crimination or not ? Thore is another light, however, in which the above figures may be Consiidired. Thefy are all . diret violat1ins f Mte chcorter. Thlit in striilnent distinctly specilies ti fol lowilg limits within which rates 1iu1si, fall : "Fiftoel cont por cubic foot, ior 100 1utile on artielos of ieasuremnent, anld 50 cOnts per one hundred poundq por 1)00 miles on goods shippod by weight." A bale of cotton is estimated to averago 150 pounds ; 1.utting the distance from Winnsbiro to Columbia,.at thirty eight miles, as claimed, the freight should be not more than 17 cents per 100 pounds, or about 77 cents per bale. The present rate is 29 cents per 100 pounds, or about .71.30 per bale. Of course the vio lu. iln is Imor"o glaring in proportion as the poiiitof shipment approaches Columibia, rates being nearly the saime. Thei writer is aware that the man agfrs of the road claim the right to ship a balo of cotton as "an article of mneasnrement." But the fact of the soting up of a preposterous pre tv.nIsioll will not do away.,vith car tere.' obhigations. Nor will this claiti, evon it granted, do away with the still greater violations of charter shown inl their rates on goods pass.. ing bewcen stations. . In Conluieision, let me say, Mr. Editor, it is timo this mattor. were settled. Tie people along the line of this road have, since the war, beel -systetomatica.lly and most out. rageonlsly plundered by means of ox. orbitant. carges and in disregard of tile expross provioio is of the char ter ; -the people of -Columbia have been plundered by means of dis criminaitions forcing ibusiness away fromn their City ; . the people. of Charleston have been plundered by means of iniquitous contracts doing away with the very object of the charter. Tile constitution of the State requires that the attorney gencral1 shall bring all .such matters beforo the proper courts for adjudi cation. He has never l-id a better opportunity for thle display of elo, quence than is here pre-ented. Let -hirm bring this motter forward at oncc, and let tile courts say to tile shippers 0on this road whether they can be protected inl their rights, or mulst remaini slaves of Northern corporations. To put it off' for a later dlay would be to wait unltil the present illegal rates have been col lected du) the entire cotton crop; HrARiMONY PREiSPYT.ERY.
