Railroad Charges
   In referring to the communication signed C. in another column, containing some severe strictures on the managers of the Harrisburg Railroad, we have only to say that we feel it our duty to give publicity to whatever we believe affects the public interest, especially at this time; and if those gentlemen referred to, have any reply to make, in justification of these charges, our columns are open to them, and the name of our correspondent can be had on application. We may here, however, simply remark that we understand the charges made by the B. B. B. and C. Railroad {Buffalo Bayou, Brazos & Colorado RR} are no higher than the charges by all other roads, the G. H. and H. Railroad {Galveston, Houston & Henderson RR} alone excepted, and how far these charges are justifiable under present circumstances, the public must judge for themselves.
