NP, RCF 2/7/1865

From the Raleigh Confederate
 
February 7, 1865
 
   There is no probability that Congress will put all Railroads with their Presidents, superintendents, conductors agents and employees in the military service, and make such gross neglect a capital crime to be punished on all concerned by shooting, but the Legislature might enact some requirements that would benefit the public, and exact from these corporations a more honest discharge of duty. But then there would be practical good sense in such legislation -- and this "is not in the style" of present legislators.
   God save the country, if its destiny in any wise depends on proper and conscientious performance of duty by Railroad corporations.
