A The Savannah Daily Herald. BY S. W. MASON A CO. SAMCEL W. MASON Editor, W. T. THOMPSON Assoclnte Editor. Official Paper of the City. LARBEST CIRCULATION II TNI CUT MD COURTT FRIDAY FEBRUARY », 1866. THE LEGISLATURE AND THE RAIL ROADS. It appears trom the communication of our Milled geville correspondent, published in Wednesday’s issue, that the Legislature is looking sharply after the Railroad Compa nies. The House of Representatives has passed a bill fixing, specifically, the tariff for transportation in conformity with the rates allowed in the charter of the Georgia Rail road, which are one half cent per pound on dead freight for one mile and five cents per mile for passage. While the adoption of restrictions that may result Injuriously la their operation upon the railroad interests of the Slate would be exceedingly unwise, it must he conceded, nevertheless, that the subject of cheap freight is one so intimately connected with the pub lic weal as to demand a prudent exercise of legislative authority In the erection of bar riers against the well known tendencies of all corporate bodies to self-aggrandizement, regardless of everything else. The establishment of a uniform, perma nent and reasonable tariff of charge*, appli cable throughout the State, is a matter in which all classes of our impoverished people are more deeply interested at this particular juncture than at any former period, for the reason that they, and not the Western pro ducers and Northern manufacturers, have to pay the high charges that have ruled for several months past upon the vast amount of produce and merchandise required to sup ply necessities which bad been created by the havoc of war. They must have the flour and grain of the West and the cloths man ufactured in the North, and are compelled to pay whatever price the transportation companies of railroads and steamboats may choose to ask tor bringing these indispensa ble articles to them. The enormous railroad and steamboat charges on articles of prime necessity have fully aroused the suffering people of the South and they aie now giving very emphatic expression to their determina tion to submit no longer to tho exactions of the transportation companies, and hence the interposition of the legislative authority to correct the great evil. Iu regard to the exactions of many of the companies much excuse may be found in the fact that immense damage was inflicted upon their roads by the heavy demands made upon them in the pailitary service of the late Con federacy and the destructive operations ot the invading armies; which could not be re paired without money in hand to meet cur rent expenses. But it is fair to pfesurae that the traffic during the last six months has been sufficiently remunerative to meet all financial exigencies, and that they will suffer no damage trom the reduction of rates contem- templated by the Legislature. Complaints again Bt excessive charges for transportation is not confined to the South. Much transportation excitement is prevailing throughout the entire West. It is asserted as a matter of fact, that it costs three bushels of corn to send one to market a distance of one hundred miles. In addition to this grievance of high charges, is the insufficiency of the land routes to carry the constantly increasing balk of grain seeking a market at the East and South. The mode of relief suggested is the improvement of the navigation of the Mississippi river by means of canals around the upper rapids, so as to secure uninter rupted water communication with the At- iaatic and Gulf States, and thereby cheapen transportation. The idea is for the General Government to build the canals and remunerate itself by Imposing tolls.— The extent of the dissatisfaction with rail road companies is indicated by the incident that one hundred and twenty-three of the leading firms of Chicago have addressed a series of searching enquiries to the various railroad companies entering there, touching the comparative rates of freight upon pro duce and merchandize. The Western peo ple are interested ouly to the extent that high ireight tends to check consumption. They scorn to think, judging trom their newspapers, that if they can re luce the freight on flour from sixty to thirty cents per barrel, the thirty cents saved will go into their pockets. But no such thing. It will be saved where the freight is paid—at the East and the South—by the equivalent de cline in the cost of the flour that will occur here. The price of grain to the Western forme, a will be regulated by the law of sup ply and demand. If the supply be small and the demand large, he will get a high price, no matter whether the railroads charge much or little for carrying it to market, and if there be abundance, he will obtain a less sum, without regard to freights, except that if freight be low, that fact coupled with a low first cost, will lead to increased con sumption And enable him to sell what would otherwise remain unused on his hands- It is the consumer and not the producer who pays the freights. On this ground even the question in the far West is one which seriously affects the people of the South, when cheap food is now a thing of vitai importance ; and the people of the South should units through their Legislatures, with the people of the West to see what can be done to promote their joint interests in the premises. in bis last OUR RESOURCE*. We offered some remarks yesterday on a lecture delivered by Mr. H. C. Carey, before the American Statistical Society of New York, of which the chief topic was the abil ity of the United States to sustain a war of unexampled violence and unparalleled ex pense, with no diminution, bat rather an augmentation of material resources. Mr. Carey attributes the fact of such augmenta tion to the Protective Tariff passed in 1861, called the Morrill tariff Now, as Mr. Carey is the great exponent of the Protectionists, and as great efforts are making, to increase the duties in Congress, by operating oh pub lic opinion, an examination of bis conclu sions has become necessary. In oar previous remarks we have endea vored to show that Mr. Carey has assumed certain periods of our history when legists tion has followed the ebbs and flows of our prosperity as the marking points of our in dustrial history, from which is to be dated its advance or retrogression. Thus after the war came to a close with Great Britain in 1818, the system of free trade was initiated, and from a state of unbounded prosperity, all was changed to the opposite. The coun try was laboring under paralysis, and con tinued so until 1888, when the first efficient tariff for protection was adopted. Then all was again changed. Industry revived until the second era of free trade was inaugurated bv the compromise tariff of 18S2. All was again changed. Free trade had prostrated every interest until the year 1842 saw every pursuit languishing, when protection came again for the third time to resuscitate and revive all interests. Once more the Ber- pent of free trade made its way into our legislation, and with the year 1867 came the culmination of the system until the war came to redeem us. For the fourth time protection c*me, in the shape of the Morrill tariff, to place our prosperity on its real ba sis. This is the monument of onr greatness, according to Mr. Carey the Morrill tariff is the source of that marvellous power by which we have been able to prosecute a war of gigantic proportions tor nearly five years. Now the error of this reasoning is that Mr. * MARRIED. ■ ‘ • S ' BUTLER—CARTER.—At Maple Grove, Bailee ca, Gm„ Tuesday evening, January 9th, 1>y the Ttev. Ju Cutbbert, Capt. A F.

Oglethorpe Fire Cenpoijr; No. 1 Attend an extra meeting of the Cqm pany to be held at the Coart Honse, at eeven and a half o'clock, THIS KVE- Governor Parson Brownlow, Whig, “pitches into’’ certain Southern cler gymen as follows: ‘ Impudence or the Devil.—The highest standard of impudence known in the Eng lish language is what is termed Me impudence of the Devil. This has recently been excelled in several instances by rebel clergymen of the South going North and addressing loyal assemblages of people, and asking contribu tions to aid the Methodist, Presbyterian and other rebel Southern churches. Alter preach ing treason, praying treason, and writing, talking and looking treason, and getting most gloriously whipped out, these Reverend traitors come back, take the amnesty oath, go North and solicit contributions of the peo ple they have been villifyiDg and fighting, to aid their rotten and corrupt Churches. The devil has a great deal of brass in bis old iron clad face, but he could not do this thing without a blush 1" Curious Law —Law and justice do not al ways travel hand in hand. A man who was g uilty of a great crime near Albany, N. Y., as been all the time at liberty on bail, and finally escaped altogether, while-his victim was kept in prison from May until January, eight months, as a witness. The person wronged was a poor Irish girl, with no friends, while the scoundrel who was allowed ' escape was rich and Influential. Carey has selected certain periods of our bis tory, as the bas'13 of his reasoning, in which there was a coincidence between the acts of national legislation and certain recurring periods of stagnation nnd inactivity as the natural preludes and forerunners to excite ment and over stimulation, and which suc ceed each other most inevitably as cause and effect. If Mr. Carey consults English history he will find precisely the same succession be tween repose and quietude and preternatural activity and speculative excitement that has characterized those periods of American his tory which he has selected for comment. But another cardinal mistake of Mr. Carey’s 18 that he assumes that to be a com* of pros perity which is in fact an obetruction. The country has prospered within the last four years, not in consequence of the Morrill tariff, but in spits o/* ><.' Had it not been for that tariff the country would have been much more rich and prosperous than it is. Still, his argument has for its foundation an ex tremely narrow basis. He fi*es his attention on one cause as the source of increasing wealth, and ignores all those sources of pros perity which have concurred in producing the great result. Let us briefly enumerate them: l. The discovery of gold in California and Australia This has given an impulse to enterprise and industry in all parts of the world. The Uni ted States have largely participated in this advantage. It has stimulated their produc tive power from their Dear neighborhood to the mines. This accession of metallic trea sure has had a decided tendency to advance prices everywhere. 2. The vast increase of Mechanical power, as shown by the Invention of labor-saving machinery in agriculture, in common with the other arts of life. 3. The influence of steam in extending the means ot transportation and travel. 4 The corresponding effect on the general powers of invention, dr the various processes tor economising labor, and even in extending scientific discovery under this general im pulse. It is tbe concurrence of these circum stances—all tending in one direction, 1.«. the augmentation of tbe masa of material wealth, that has enabled tbs United States not mere ly to compensate for the waste of war, but to lucrease their prosperity, and even to add greatly to their riches, despite the destruc tion of capital. - To fix the attention, as Mr. Carey has done, on one eause exclusively, (supposing that It baa had any agency in producing tbe effect) Is in the last degree un- philosophical. But we have shown that tbe alternations of prosperity and adversity that have marked certain periods of our history are the natural effects of those changes in the public mind which mark those eras of com mercial history by which languor and stag nation so often succeed to preternatural activ. ity and over excitement NING, at 7X o’clock.
