The Washington City Camal im Congres: In the House of Representatives yesterday, the special order, namely, the bill to incorpor- ate the Canal and Company of the District of Colum being under considera. tion, Mr. Thomas, of Md., addressed the House in op} ition to the hill. He expressed his surprise that, after a tull examination of the subject, amy committee of this House should even have such & Measure, and said The proposition is equivalent to seizing a very large amount of property invested under a solemn compact entered into between the Government of the United States and the States of Maryland and Virginia. And not oy that, butit proposes to leave on the hands of the Chesapeake and Ohio Uanai Company anether amount of property, costing originally, I suppose, $500,000, for which the corporators, to whom it is now proposed to make this gran’, are to give not one dollar, although they are ped be benefitted by ail that enormous expend- ure. Mr. Harding, of Iilinois.— Will the gentleman from Maryiand [Mr. F. Thomas] give way allow me to make a motion to postpone ¢ 1 bill until December next? Mr. Thomas.—i will do so with pleasure. Bat first let me make a remark or two to show the great propriety of such a motion. Two months ago, or more, the Senate, by a resolution, called upen the Secretary of War to Appoint engineers to examine this Washing- ton canal and report a mode of improvement to accomplish two purposes—one in reference to the sanitary condition, and the other in ret- erence to the commercial capabilities of the canal. Those engineers have reported to ( gress a plan of improvement to relieve us all apprehension in regard to the health of the city, such as was felt at the beginning of this session from the condition in which the canal was then found. The course so pointed o by the engineers has been pursued by the o. porate authorities of Washingtoz un board of health interposed and for turther work upen it at this season of the This was not done, however, until the prevements on the canal removed all hension of its evil influence on the he the city. Those engineers also reserved to themse! the right to make a more full and com sive report as te the mode and m which this improvement shall farth ducted by Congress if Congress sse properto take it in hand with a yi to its commercial capabilities. Those engineers have not yet completed their labors, and House will therefore see at once that this question is not ripe for action at this time. But they have time to complete their labors long the period to which it is now proposed by the genueman over the way this bill shall be j poned. And then Congress can resam consideration of the subject with afall knowl- edge of all the bearings of the quest the commerce and convenience of the se: Government, and the commerce and conveni- ence of that glorious section of country tha‘ I have the honor to represent upon this floor. Lacqniesce cheerfully in the Proposition to postpone this subject. Mr. Thomas, after reading from the laws bearing on the question, showing that Con- gress could not, properly, interfe: with the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, said:—Now, wha is proposed in this bill! It proposes to crant to a company of individuals, nine of the num- ber, 2 majority of them being non-residents of the District of Columbia, and none of then being residents of Maryland, not only the po er to hold, ocenpy, possess, ‘and enjo: out paying for 11, the Washingtoa canal, to hold, occupy, and possess ali that part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal that lies es< of the western bank of Rock Creek. That pa of the canal members are not so ‘amiliar wii 1 therefore hope they willexcuse me for dwei- ling upon particularities. The canal company have built a dike b»- tween the river and Rock ercek, and tormed a basin. They have coustracted four ver pensive canal locks immediately beyond creek, within the short distance of a quar ota mile. They have built outside of tn Fiediction of the United States, and inside the jurisdiction of Maryland, dam across Potomac fiver for a teeder for the canals. The water from the river, after Sapptving cer. tain factories, furnishes the means of rea ing this basin at the mouth of Hock creek, then passes into the Washington canal. Mr. Speaker, that part of tne Chesapeake and Ohio canai proposed to be seized, ers the west bank of Rock creek, cost only abon one hundred and six or one hundred and eight thousand dollars: and if the parties under this most anomalous bill are called on to pay th amount, what vecomes of the investments the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. amounti ° £510,400 more, expended beyona the west boundary of Rack creek, expended in the cou. struction of canal locks, four in niimber, and bridges over the canal, four in number; whit becomes of that investment! These corpo: tors are not to pay for it. They are to seize as a mere locality that part ofthe property which they need. They are 10 appropriate to their purposes that part of the canal which lies east of the western bank of Reck creek. They are toestop the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com- pany from the opportunity of getting into the sin at Rock creek, and of passing out into the river Potomac or into the Washington Ca- nal. They are not to pay the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company for their investment be- yond that point. No one will suppose that this company is to be remunerated on an ex- penditure of nearly half a million dollars wy collecting toll upon the articles transported upon the canal for a quarter of a mile. Again, this company now pro; con- all but d t are not Teauireg, and Congress cannot authorize them, to go isfSide of the boundaries of the State of Maryland and take possession of and pay for the dam across the river Potomac beyond Georgetown. within the jurisdiction of the State of Maryland, without which the Wash- ington canal will be of no value; without which this grant will not be worth the paper upon which it is written. Congress is to in- terpose with a high-handed authority and give this new company the right to condemn all that part of the work which the Cnes- apeake and Ohio Canal Company have made up to @ certain point, giving this new com- pany the advantages of all the structures up to that point; while those beyond that point cannot be of any exclusive advantage to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. And the commerce of the Chesapexke and Ohio Capal y cannot pass that dam and reach a market without paying toll to this new company.
