CITY AND DISTRICT. SENATOR MORRILU’S RAILBOAD SPEECH. Vigorous Arraignment of the Local Moads, RECORD OF HUMAN SLAUGRTER—GARROTING A PUBLIC PARK—TBE READIEST LAND-JUMPERS OF THR AGE— TICKET OFFICES WITUIN TUS CAPITOL—FLAGRANT ABUSES AND FORFEITED CHARTERS. In the Senate to-day Mr. Morrill spoke vigorous- Wand at length in support of his substitute for the Fanikner railroad bill Mr. Morrill said that the Senate, to its great hurt, appeared to have subsidized, so to say, the most wealthy and powerful rafiroad corporation Of the country, by permitting one of its many feed- ers or branches to enter the city ot Washington Tampant, there to de petted as a spoiled child with legislative sugar-piums, and to strangle with ap sron garrote a public park of much promise to the eity, and to overrun and practically swallow up other important reservations, as well a8 large avenues and streets, which have often been stained with human bicod by numerous railroad homl- cides. Ought we not to have some faith, even thouch we could wish it were stronger, that the represent tives of states and of the people will courageously @eclare this unfortunate railroad land grant un- earned—treating the case with the same measure Of even-handrd justice we award toother unearned Jand grants elsewhere—aud restore it to the city Of Washington, to which it righttuliy belongs, a3 & precious and inalienable itt trom its founders? ‘The substitute offered by me for the steam-rail- Foad bill will be recognized by the committee on the District of Columbia ta its main features a the previous laborious work of a most respectable bumber of U menitiee. It 13, however, in transcript of the bill for which It 13 offered a @ substitute, except that the provis- fon that the tracks on 6th street are to be Femored, and that the depots, mstead of Deng Gn the park, are to be south of the intersection of Virginia and Maryland avenue ded_ by Congress an provi sions of the bill reported by the Senator from Illi. hols, grapting extraordinary additional privileges tothe Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, may be Uolerated, but, if all were to be granted, there would bardiy be room left for any other railroad accommodations in that partof thecity. The substitute will Largely uot only relieve the north eastern part of the city from unnecessary occupa tion of streets and avenues, but wholly relieve th ark from present absolute ratiroad domination, Witn the pussenger stations placed, as propsed by | the substitute, south of the Intersection of Virginia | and Maryland avenaes, they would be neater to | some of the principal hotels of the city, | and not one-third of a mile or more than | three minutes farther away from any. Tue cost | Of reaching the stations from hotels would not be increased a singie farthing, and the great Mary- | land and Virsinia avenues, as Weil as some reser. | Vations, would be released from some part of their Present unlawful occupation. Transient visitors coming here by rallroad, seidom ofteuer than onc Year, or once in a iiietime, should have proper consideration, but not more, Father less, than the Mfe-long residents of the’ city whose weitare And property are to be oftener, more seriously, | and ‘permnently affected; and not so much | ag ational legislators,’ whose reputation for wearing no badge of corporation servitude, aud for sound Judgment and im- partial Justice should not be exposed to any dis Paragement, Like the distinguished Senator from Connecticut, I willingly credit the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. with being managed by the most astute and accomplished raliroad men of the coun Uy, and with dealing handsomely with the public 4m thost all other localities but. that of Washing- ton, where it stands ready to higgle and quarrel with Congress and with everybody for the ninth artof abair. In Philadelphia it 1s lavish in its splay of accommodations in the heart of the | city, and there uogrudgingly assumes the expen- diture of millions of dollars. Here, on the con- | ‘Wary, it seems parsimonious and to rely upon the Douniies of the Government, and, after that, upon | grabbing like a treebooter, as 1 shail hereafter | Show, wuatever It can get Hold of. | No ‘one appreciates more than I do the power of | the gigantic Pennsylvania Raflroad Company, or | more iuily comprenends the difficulty that con- | gress must meet in doing anytuing ia relation to the tnterests of that company to which it does not freely consent. It bas got tis foot on the neck of | the park, and has come to stay, if it can. I Rave'no personal grievance whatever against this or any oter raliroad company, but I feel that the people of every state have some interest in the | matter now pending, and Will hold Congress toa rigid accountability for any action that does not | int to the permanent well-being of the city of Yeshington and especially to ‘THE PRESERVATION OF THE OLD MALL, ast was handed down to us by the Father of his Country, to be maintained as a national park, | such as decorate all other national capitals, and a | decoration of which very few of the principal American cities are now destitpte. It is undoubt- edly true that a large portion of the public has been asking for a bill from the commitiee on the District of Columbia which would remove the depot and all tracks from 6th street. Instead of Unis they present @ bill to increase the wretched ewsting outrage by doubling the tracks on 6th street and by planting on the opposite slde another depot, also upon the park, and finally by surren- dering 6th street altogether to two railroad com- Panies Instead of sixty trains a day moving across the park, we are (hus hereafter to have not less than one hundred and twenty. The people asked for bread, and instead they have presented to them stones, difficult to swallow and wholly indigestivle, They asked for the res- toration of the parcel of ground occupied on the park vy the Balumore and Potomac Railroad, and instead it 1s proposed to rob the park of fur ther large and valuable strips of land, and to be- wow ince with royal munificence a8 & free gift upon two railroad corporations instead of one. We afe ag unfortunate as the boy who got one thumb into his muskrat trap, and in trying to get that out got his other thumb into the trap. But most We cannot affofd to pretend to amend a grievance while manifestly buttressing and per- etuating it by more than doubling Its inagnitude, do not believe that any member of the majority Of the committee on the District of Columbia be entirely satisfied with their own Dillas repor@@ye | ‘They must have consented to it in order to get Of the subject, as some maidens consent to wed an apnoying suitor in order to get rid of bim, but soon Ht Dest Wo seek for a divorce. In 1871 the company was authorized by Con- gress (and ft was the extreme limit of tue rullroad company’s demands) to erect a passenger depot on | Virginia avenue, between west 6th street and west | 7th strevt, of te same style @ architecture as that | of the Pehasyivania road at’ Lancaster, with the | agsent of the notable and forever to be distine | guished board of aldermen of this city, who, with | “quick conception and easy delivery,” proposed, | Instead of this, to outdo Congress and to give 86 | much of the mall and of 6th street as might sat- | isfy the raliroad company.

The Dill under consideration does not pro- Vide a remedy as the substitute damages Of thts sort. Anex' fine bridge was to have been erected over 6th street at a cost, as Ics friends as Serted, of $75,000, “‘a thing of Ueauty;” but after Jong years of delay we have a narrow iron struct- ure to which only “distance lends enchantment to the view,” and it rather aggravates than dlmin- ishes the danger. An untold number of engines ‘at this potnt are constantly spouting fire, panting and pirouetting one way or the other,’ sixty or more trains in every twenty-four hours; and no breed of horses 1s so destitute of mettle as not to ‘snuff the battle of fire, stuoke and steam when di- rectly under the nose, or not to hear the steam- Whistle when screeching in thelr front, 5. The Baltimore Potomac Railroad Com- pany have placed a freight depot on square 386 without any authority of Jaw, and in spite of Do- Uce of objections against the selection of the site, ‘Tuwy have also invaded Reservations 174, 178, 241 and 308, although prohibited from entering’ any lot or square ow: by tue United States, and it appears to be ts THE READIEST LAND-JUMPER OF THR AGE. Between New Jersey avenue and South Capitol street, where, by the map of 1872, 1t would ap- pear that one track only was authorized or con- templated, there are now not jess than eight tracks, some of which even trench upon the side- | | Walk of Reservation 17. In addition to this four tracks cross and cover Reservation 174; four other tracks cover Reservation 178, and four more tracks cross and cover Reservation 241. All of these, as Well as the track across New Jersey avenue’ to square 737, though short, have been made without tue slightest authority "and in deflance of 1uw. ‘These reservations are of the triangular shape pecuilar to Washington, and are greatly appre- Ciated by 1ts citizens, bul the aggressive war pow- €rs of appropriation” by this steam raliroad seem, Wo be autveratic, and an act of Congress is looked. upon apparenuy with contempt. ‘Tue four tracks which go over Reservation 174 also cross New Jersey aveuue and Ist street south- east, WiLUOUL any legal authority whatever, nor is tilere any autnority of law for the four tracks Which have invaded Reservation 178 to cross halt street southeast, “There 18 still another braueb of tracks over the small Reservation 109, Whicu crosses F street. without authority of law: Having only an implied right to pass through the large Keservation 101, of 25 acres, with one track, or at most With two, they ave Placed upon It & large group of tracks, which are constantly covered With (rains or wit loaded or empty cars.

A committee of the citizens of Wash- ington reported as follows: “Tue coustant obstruction of these avenues at the Uanverse streets by shifting engines and trains practically cuts iu two the Dusiness of the city, so that merebants and business men have aiindst ceased Lo look Lo the Fiver (Potomac) as a. imeaus Of transportation because of the inconven- lence and delay experienced in transferring It atter Jeaving the wharf.” ‘The lawful rigtts of those who have purchased lots and have built residences near to any of these reservations With the Just expectation, according to the original plan of the city, that they would remain forever open spaces, have been rudely 1n- Vadeu If not destroyed. Tue vested rights, how. eVer, of these residents are not inferior to tliose of any Tailroad, and they are entitied to some proper remedy. ‘Tue interest and convenience of the company appear to have been the only itmits of authority to do Whatever It chooses, and its audacity, 1¢ Will be Seen, has been amazing even for a corporation. ‘That I have not overstated the infractions of ts charter or of the willful trespasses upon the public grounds by the Baltimore and Potomac Raliroad Co, muzy be seem by reference to the repeated. an- nual reports of Col, Wilson, the able and faithful Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds, In one instance it 1s understood that the com- Pany claims to have had the consent of the Dis. Urict Commissioners for its lawless action, of Which, however, there 18 no record; and, if such there ‘were, It would have no more legal value than the consent of the Superintendent of the In- Sane Asylum. ‘The law bluds the Commissioners as well as railroads, ‘The eriuinal case reported of the United states against the Baltimore and Potomae Kaliroad Co., indicted by the grand Jury for maintaining @ huisance by allowing cars tO stand on the strcet, and there loading and unloading the same, was re- cently decided in General Term against tue com- pany. But it is not understood that Une company shoWs any more obedience to the court than ithas ‘shown to the laws of Congress, ‘The proof of these flagrant abuses 1s so abound- ing as to stow that the Baltimore and Povomac Railroad Co. has WILLFULLY BROKEN ITS SO-CALLED CHARTER and would justify its forfeiture under the most summary process by the courts; but full power having been especialiy reserved to alter or amend, its incontestable that the road is now as amen: able to the discretion of Congress as tt. would be If now, for the first time, ft Were asking permission to enter the District Ihave no curonic hostility to raflroads; I often patronize them; 1 own stock in some of them, and ‘would own more if able, but this does not change my opinion that they Owe obedience to putile laws quite as much as private citizens. “Laws should not be ma/e, according to the venerable proverb, ilke cobwebs, only to cateh files and let the hornets go tree. ‘A tunnel for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co, under Capitol Hili, so far removed as 3d street ast, does hot appear to me so very objectionable. When it Was proposed ty a majority of the commit tee some Yearsago to have a big tunnel much hearer to the Capitol, aid in front of the new Library, the question might then have been asked: Af we were to get It and should not like tt, what could we do with trom it we might be, It would certainly be a. ail cuit hole to creep out of Great bores are not easily dismissed, I regret that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co. are ho longer willing, as Presi- dent Garrett formerly appeared to be, to. place all their tracks outside of tue boundary, ‘and then to enter the city by the Eastern Branch. ‘The present railroad stations are, both as to thelr sites and approaches, alinost equally scan- alous and unsatistactory, and only’ fess So a3 to Une character of the depot buildiogs, Removal and refora sould alike lnpartially overtake them both together. In the measure presented by the substitute to remedy these manifest wrongs tt 13 not pronosed to involve the Government in any expense except ata single point, and a full and most opportune equivalent—a Dullding appropriate for the city goverament—will be received, but It 1s proposed {oemanctpate trom railroad .vondage & goodly Lumber of avenues and streets now unnecessarily occupied, to give the city worthier accommoda- tions, less obnoxious to the public sense of de- and, beyond this, to restore to the city, as well as U0 the whole country, a portion of’ its ancient and tnvaluable public reservations, It may be innocently said that we are interfering with the chartered rights of corporations, but that would be wholly untrue, We are only interfering exactly as Ube Charters provide that Congress may interiere, aud we are interfering, not with tnelt Fights, but with palpable public wrongs—with a defiant and stubborn monopoly which tramples upon the rights of the people who are suffer under the formal sanction of our authority and of our prolonged acquiescence. It 1s, therefore, our highest duty, as il appears to me, to interfere and to redress Magrant wrongs where Congress itself has Dy no weans been altogether an innocent looker-on, ‘These corporations are not paupers, and are abundantly able to pay for the new and larger ac- commodations required by the pubiic, but re- quired quive as much by the railroads, and which Will never be obtained by an outlay more moderate Sy 5 Pe change a8 proj ‘amendmeht now offered as a sutstituve, OF Of @ more rigorous character hereafter, 1. must ‘Venture to say 18 as fixed a8 will be ita obvious audeveriasting propriety.

Ought we not to have the privilege to visit the Monument directly from the Capivol, without peril and without going a roundabout, zigzag way to It through back streets? We spare no expenditure for the preservation of & National Park on the Yellowstone, which com- paratively few Americans will ever see, aud yet We are almost hopelessly contending tor the pre- Servation, without any expenditure, of a park in the national capital, which all good Americans hope to see before they aie. Strained as our Government was in its early days for funds, and as rampant as was the specu- jative demand here for city lots, the Government did not part with one Jot or tttie of Jefferson's darling park, then called the Mall, but 1t was held intact, as sacred as the garden of the Hesperides, in order “to form,” as it Was declared: “A broad and Uninterrupted landscape connec- tion between the square on which were tobe a tue Executive buildings and the grounds for the future site of the Capitol.” We bold this ancient park in trust from the original i apo and cannot afford to do less than to hand over the heritage with deferential fealty to our successors, whole and unincumbered. ‘We hold the park forthe health and happiness of the greatest number of people, of those destl- tute of horses and Frag ors apd unable to incur daily expense for their hire, but who, with their {amilles, When through With the labors and fa Ligues of the day, ur Of sedentary life, including weary brain-workers, would often gladly seek one of the dearest pleasures of life—fresh air and re- ‘stored vigor—on terms waich they could accept, ‘It is a park close at hand, in the very heart of tne city, with a landscape and walks to be made Sweet and attractive by the foliage and fragrance of all the trees and shrubs which thrive In this favored latitude with a natural splendor of health and beauty, Littie heed appears to have-been given to former petitions, or to later protests, of large numbers of the most substantial citizens of Washington, and therefore the non-resident capitalists an promoters of the destruction of the park appear to fet se Congress Will respond to every fresh de- mand that may be made by railroad potentates, It was not enough that the parx should receive a fatal stab from one railroad corporation, but it is roposed to inflict seme punishment after death ¥ a division and distribution of its garments among those assumed to be willing to become equal partners iu the outrage. ‘The Dill in charge of the Senator from West Virginia is based on the idea that not enough has been done for the benefit of the Baltimore and Potomac Company. We granted, beyond a valuable franchise, the use of avenues and streets, without cost for their tracks, We gave the company the Long bridge in erpetuity, and have let them have the use of lepot land’assessed at $240,000 (but worth much more) for sixteen years, subject to the payment of taxes. The appetite of the corporation has grown upon what it bas fed, and the ability of the UVaited ‘States to furnish further bounties is assumed to be equal to the greed of the company. By this bill further lange slices of the park, to’be cut, “nearest to the heart,” on each side of 6th street, 100 feet wide and 1,000 feet long, and then lurther ex- tended through the park With a width of 50 feet, are Offered as ap additional Lalf-million inducement to the railroads not to abandon the public park. A still further royal bounty is offered in the com- pleve surrender of 6th street to the railroad com- bpm to be occupied by tuetr tracks and sheds, ts, Wherever the companies think necessary, in any direction and alimost without limitation, ‘are also authorized to be acquired. The era of ratl- Toad ascendency may not yet have passed away, and, it TICKET-OFFICES WITHIN THE CAPITOL were to be demanded, I am not sure they would not be refused with some regret, as they Would be 80 neighborly and so convenient. The improvident provisions of the grant, and I hope to be pardoned for resurrecting the fact,were originally made by Justly exasperated Congress- men to punish one ratiroad corporation for a wit- Jess refusal to make close and proper connections with another; but our bitter experience, like that of 2sop’s frogs, has shown that we cannot afford to change King’ Log for King Stork, and let us ad- mit that (ew human punishments, even of rail- Toad Sinners, should be everlasting. The past of- fenses of omission are more easily condoned than ‘Chose of present actual and obstinate transgres- sion. ‘The danger to Nfe and mb from tracks placed on the surface of streets and crossings needs no further illustration by the railroads, certainly not by ne, and the question 1s, shail it be indefinitely continued? If the Baltimore and Potomac Raflroaa has re- lori violated the conditions of its charter, as think it has been fully shown, in what quarter 1s it to Summon pity, When there is no purpose of vengeance, nor of injustice, but only a purpose vo confer upon the road all the proper which could be claimed even by a c adorned with modesty and all the virtu Tue steam railroads here appear to be eager and extensive (eee of lots and parcels of land, evidently having great confidence in such invest- ments, and able to pay for more. Then why should ‘Ube city of Washington be called upon to donate land in half million lumps for their benefit? Is there a city in the country with 200,000 tnhavi- tants which has ever donated any part of a cen- tral public reservation to a steam railroad years after the construction of its main stem, to be used a8 a passenger depot? ‘The city nearly’ doubles its population at every decade, and 1s likely to hold 400,000 within the next dozen years. Conceited foreign critics With compassionate superiority often sweetly remind Americans of Many, shortcomings of making the “almighty dollar” the gauge of every maw’s eminence, of having no interest in anything Which does not add to the bulk of material prosperity, and of being Wholly destitute Of the instincts which respond to letters, to the and to tne love of beauty. However gross and unsubstantia) these charges may be, would not Con. gress and the American people incur a more merited reproach were we ‘now to prefer the distinction of intrusive railroad stations in the foreground of the national Caj to that of clean, interesting, and beaut k, and & park hallowed with ail the memories of the dawn of our republic? Would it not show some decadence of public spirit from that of our ancestors? but) leaving tue park wholly outside of the ques. ton, { am persuaded that any competent board of engineers, acting in the interest of the roads as well as of the public, wou! locate the raliroad stations south of the intersection of Maryland and Virginia avenues. It would be a great boon to the roads There they would no longer be cram| for room, nor would the a blic Sua Rbere tne" elevated ground “ Init the sinking of the: tracks below the surface afd out of the way of all danger. The railroads can afford to treat the city of Washington gener- ously. ‘They cannot afford to leave the question a8 to the proper site of stations in a condition to excite unrest and perpetual discontent; nor can railroads afford to mt their capital by the diminution of one the most re- ‘sources of Washington to rank and among the foremost national world.
