Mr. Beenanan, for the railroaé, Commenced and conciuded his arca- ment. He remarked that no railroads would constructed in the limics of this city shoald eir charter be repealed. Congress had con- ferred upon the Baltimore and Ohio Ratiroad certain Tights which conflicted with the rights of ‘he o ty to grade. In the first place they had not only gained authority from Congress to construct their road, but the consent of the municipal anthorities of the city also. Tha corporate guthorities should have objected when the rod was being constructed, but they approved the work, and now at this time te thought it @ monstrous proposition for the au- thorities to attempt to interfere with the affairs | of the road. Inall the great cities they have depots sed roads running in their very ceutres. The Baltimore and Ohio Rai road was a pio- neer enterprise, and although it had been ar. | tacked often, it must be admitted that much of the growth and prosperity of the city was due to it. ‘The road had not, be contended. ever gone as faras was formerly allowed by Con. gress and the city authorities, but at their re- quest bad done less aud abandoned maoy of their rights and privileges. The simple ques- tion, and the real point m controversy ia the case, he maintained, was whetuer the city could obstruct the road by gra ‘ing the streets, compelling its removal, in violation of ts char- | ter and right, and he was convinced that their | prayer for an injunction would be granted.
