INTERESTING BEADING MATTER ON 4TH PAGE
XHK RICHMOND EXAMINER^"
We are loth to believe that President John
son and General Grant authorized the sup
pression of the Richmond Examiner, thereby
countenancing an overthrow of the freedom ol
the Press. Only a few weeks since, the New
York Tribune advertised for the man who
would attempt the revival of newspaper sup
pression in this Republic, and dared him t<
come forth. We little suspected that the ad
vertisement and challenge would have been
responded to so promptly. The Examiner
was a live paper, full of wit, learning, princi
ple and manhood ; it grew better and bet'ei
never criticising aught but what deserved
caustic animadveision. We are truly sorn
to have it even hinted that the President con
uived at its suspension, and hope that he maj
revoke the order, General Terry quashed
the Vagrant Act of Virginia, although copied
literally (as he qpver dreamed, though a Con
necticut lawyer, )from the Pennsylvania Code.
The suppression of the Examiner is probabb
another exhibition of that sort, and can only
redound to tho disadvantage of the General
and his party. Should the Examine* r be
struck a death-blow—never let us prate glibly
against Louis Napoleou or any other foreign
omd and anti-Republican. Verily, there are
three things constituting Republican princi
ple : Freedom of elec ion, trial by jury, and
freedom of the press; but the greatest of the: e
is freedom of the press, and, without it, libert
is but the hollow echo of sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal.
As an offset to anything raid in what may
be conceived the extreme Southern interest
though not admitting this imputation, wo ap
pend the comment of the New York Sun, om
of the most atrabilious of Radical journa’s.
Truly, General Terry must wince to be wise!
lectured by such a sheet, and wc mo obliged
to say that bis punishment is more severe*
than that of Mr. Pollaul.
Nays the Sun ;
Virginia is still under martial law, anil II.<•
military commandant of that department cer
taiuly has the power to suppress an offensive
newspaper within his jurisdiction. But m
dosing the office of the Richmond Examiner
General Terry lias done that which will add
neither to his owii fame nor to the power oi
the government. We have read the Exam
iner daily since its re-establishment, and read
ily admit all that General Terry probably
claims: that it is rebellious in tone, vindic
tive toward the government, intensely bitt r
in its denunciation, of the North, and in every
respect obnoxious to a true Union man. But
its character is not sufficient excuse lor it*
suppression under existing
There is no rebellion now, and no danger that
mch paper as the Examiner wifi lead to any
further disturbance. On the whole, we think
it is quite well enough to let the irrepressible
class of rebels ventilate their ire now. Their
tongues and pens are the safety-valves by
which their pent-up hatred of the “ Yankees’
passes off. 'I hey can injure nobody blit them
selves by their silly course, and, if allowed to
- “ talk it out,” they will the sooner cool down
and return to their senses. Such a course as
that pursued by General Terry is only calcu
lated to give them new pretexts for malicious
utterauces, and can in no way be productive
of good. Before the war, the muzzling of the
press, upon any political pretext, would not
nave beon tolerated for a moment. Now that
we have returned to peace, let the freedom .of
the press be one of the result-*, and let lhe
government leave the ]junishment of obnox
ious journals to enlightened public opinion
HXPRKSS COMPANIkS.
A very important controversy is now pio
gressiDg at Richmond between the Adams
and Southern, on the one side, and the Na
tional Express Company on the other, con
cerning tue validity of certain contracts by
which the former companies seek to secure a
monopoly of the carrying trade of the South.
We have no partiality nor prejudice to sub
serve, and although opposed to monopolies
anywhere or in anything, admit the right of
great enterprises to secure themselves to the
best of their ability, capital aud address. This
is precisely what is being attempted and pre
cisely what every one would seek to accom
plish. We believe that the people at largo
are benefited by competition, and hope that
such compromises may be legally entered into
which can damage neither party, but rather
profit both, us well os the public.
As this controversy is of some moment to
our community, we give the facts of the case,
as stated by counsel, in the Richmond Time*,
thus:
The Virginia Central Railroad Company and
the Adams Express Company have entered into
a contract in which it is reciprocally covenant
ed, inter alia, that the Adams Express Company
will advance to the railroad company fifty
thousand dollars as a pre payment of freight,
which is to be earned, from time to tiuio, by the
railroad company, aud will also provide cars for
the carriage of their express matter, and that
they rcloase the railroad company from all lia»
bihty except for the fraud or negligence of their
agents and servants; and that the railroad com
pany will carry the express matter of the Adorns
Company with their passenger traius for four
years, and will not carry such matter in tho
same way for any one elso during that time,
except upon his advancing them a like sum of
fitly thousand dollars, and otherwise submitting
to all the terms and conditions of this contract
The Adams Express Company have also entered
into contracts with several oilier railroad com
panies of the State of Tirginia, in which they
agree to lend these companies large sums of
money, amounting, iu the aggregate, to three
hundred thousand dollars upon the same teftns
end conditions as are above mentioned.
it is contoncTM by the National Express Coin
pany that these contracts are invalid, for al
though railroads are private corporations in one
eense of the term, yet they are institutions in
which the publio have the deepest concern, es
pecially In Virginia, where the State owns three
fifths of the capital stock of nearly every rail
road within its borders. In the creation of said
corporations the public interest is tbe paramount
object with the Legislature, and the railroad is
a public highway for the public beunfft. When,
therefore, railroad companies assume to trans-.
port passengers and freight, they become com
mon carriers, exercising a public office, the du
ties of which they are not permitted to evade.
This is tbe substance of tbe objection which the
National Express Company makes to the va
lidity of the contracts which certain Virginia
railroads have made with two of tbe expiest
companies: We havo availed ourselves iu eta
ting the case ol the language oi the very able
counsel whose opinion ' 8 before us. Ttiey also
deny the right of the road in question to exclude
the “National Express Company " from all tho
privileges of the most favored class of common
carriers, in consequence of a provision of tbe
laws of Virginia “ that the property of all per
sons shall, as far as practicable, be transported
in the order of time in which it shall be deliv
ered or offered, and the tolls paid or tendered.”
With reference to carrying exp ess matter on
passenger trains, it is conceded that a railroad
company may refuse to carry such matter for
any one; but it is contended that if they carry
lor oneexpress company they should also be
forced to carry for others who conform to the
requirements of tbe law just cited. Nor is
there any objection made by counsel to one ex
press company pre-paying its freighter lending
money to railroad companies if they do not re
quire others to do the same; but wheresuch an
endeavor is made it stamps the transaction
with illegally. It is also insisted that ih se
contracts with the two companies in q est on,
as far as they seek to affect the rights of oth -rs
to such transportation, are contrary to the
general railroad laws of the State, exclusive in
their policy, and therefore of no legal validry
We bare, of course, no room for the elaborate
and lngen one arguments t hich am tain these
propositions. In the autagonisticargumanU of
the distinguished counsel for the Adams and
Southern Express Companies all of these pro
positions of law are denied. The following
extract from the written opinion of one of the
counsel for Adams Express Company wall put
our readers in possession of some of the leadu g
arguments in lavor of the validity of the con
tracts in question:
“It seems to be clear that it is the duty of a
yailroad company that undertakes to transt of i.
persons snd property, to provide proper loco
motives and cars for each of these purposes :
in other words, a passenger train and a freight
train. To th< se trains all the public alike have
access, at certain rates'prescribed bv law. It
seems to be equally clear that the company is
not bound to -carry freight on ite passenger
rains beyond the accustomed baggage of pas-,
seogers. In the rapid progress of the present
age, the public was not willing to rely solelr
apon railroad companies for the meanß of trans
portfHiopf/VA/deimand arose for a more rapid
and batter'organized system qf transportation,
and for greater safety bj obtained
through the agency of the oramerjffffcfiglt
trains, under the management, of the officers
and employees of railroad companies. Out of
this want have originated express companies—
themselves recognised by the laws as institu
tions whose duty it is to receive, take special
care of, and transmit with rapidity and safety,
goods intrusted to th m. Such companies are
themselves common carriers, wi h all the re*
fpousibilites of such artificial persons. I think
it is clear that no railroad company can be
compelled, under the general law, itself to act
as an expresscompany, or to run express cars
carrying freight along with its passenger trains
But if it does not choose to furnish special cars
of its own, with all the agents snd appliances
necessary to an express bnsineea, I cannot per
ceive why it may not delegate this power to
mother corporation whioh is so provided, and
make a contract with it for carrying express
matter on the fast moving trains of the rail
road company. It may require such express
c tnpany to furnish its own cars and agents,
tnd cootiaet for the quantity of matter to be
carried, and compel it to carry or account for
i fixed quantity of express matter, fix the
mode and time of payment, and make any
>ther reasonable stipulation not inconsistent
with its charter or the general law of the land.
The power to make such stipulations is essen
tial to the proper managem nt of the passen
ger traits. If the. railroad company can I><*
compelled to carry on Its passenger trains all
express matter tendered by any person or com
pany, the efficiency and regularity of those
• rains must be seriously interfered with. Un
less, therefore, snch facilities of carrying ex
press matter on the passenger trains are to be
lost to the public entirely, it is indispensable
that the company should be clothed w tli the
power to make special contracts with the one
or more express companies, under proper re
striciions.
For the decision of the vary important qnes
tions involved in this case, the courts will be
resorted to in some of the States, while iu
othi is the Legislatures will be asked to de
clare that the railroads making contracts like
hose referred to in this article, have violated
their charters.
