DAILY CONSTITUTIONALIST . PUBLISHED BY BTOOKTON <3& jUO* AUGUSTA. GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FHB 21, 1866 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. THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE Millei>gkville, Feb. 1)S, 18G0. On yesterday the following letter was road to the House of Representatives !
