BENCH AND BAR HONOR HIS MEMORY. . Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the bench and bar was held in the uit Court room to take action asto the death of Mr. Randoiph As the bill came to the Senate it ‘ied for a commission that: shotld’ take kato 01 correctly, between the government of trict of Columbia, and the railroad eompanics in the District, with « view to ad those relations so as'to remove complaints that are being made publicly and persistently in regard ese railroad companies mt of tueir tracks and business of and District by the Baltimore and ore and Potomac Railroad ve now, and I have always expressed that opinion since I have had any knowledge upon the subject, that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has ‘deadened,’ to use a western expression, a very large and beautiful portion of this city by occupying a street to the exclusion of all traific across it at reasonable jours. ‘The result is today that here in the capital of the nation we find the property of one third of the of thie District depre- ciated in order to meet the demands of a cor- pozation, a railroad company. It isa notorious fact that the track of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad down North Capi tol street and running from the base of thi Capitol Hill prevents trafic from passing acrows lor minutes at a time, which is a serious con- sideration in the business of a large city. I have myself, in company with another tor, sut in a carriage at one of the crossings of this railroad over one of the principal streets of the city for eleven minutes by the watch while their cars were moved up and down the tracks in order to carry on the business of the railroad company without to the traffic of the city. The result was that carriages and carts and other vehicles were packed upagainst this railroad, unable to cross, until the railroad employes had transacted the business of the railroad at their own convenience, und the peo- ple of the District were permitted to go ‘across the tracks. “As I understand this bill—and I have ex- | Th amined it very carefully—the conferees struck out all provision for a commission, either as to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad or the Balti- more and Potomae railroad.” “They struck that out,” interjected Mr. McMillan, “because this bill provides only for the Baltimore and Potomac Company.” LoGic HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND. Mr. Vest—I understand, and I am coming to that. In other words, the argument is made that, rather than remove a great nuisance and right what isa very great wrong as to one rail! road company, we are to allow the whole sub- ject to go and not provide any redress at all. I do not understand that kind of logic in legisla tion or in anything else. If we ought to adjust the relations of the District of Columbia and the people of the District of Columbia and. of the United States to these railroad companies, the to adjust them while the op- ren to to any one of the in order to correct the evils as tothe balance. If we can get a Part of a remedy itis better than to get none atall. But the argument is made that hereafter we must trust to the appointment of a joi mittee to act in place of the commission, which has been eliminated from this bill. What it telligent man does not know that the time to negotiate with a railroad company is when you have got them under a species of coercion aud they are bound to come to le They now want something. Let them get it and then you can whistle for your joint committee. “All of us who have had anything to do with this sort of business in the District of Columbia know that the time to get terms from these companies is when they are here asking for legislation in thelr own behalf. So that the question presented to us now is whether we are to eliminate the commission entirely, give the railroad company what it wants, and trust to legislation hereafter in order to make them do right. ‘That is the whole of i Ihave not the slightest feeling against this railroad company. Iknow its officials. They are gentlemen with whom my relations have alwaya been of the moct kindly description. All I want and ali I intend to imsist upon is even-handed just ‘This is the business of my people aud of every citizen of the United States. “This District belongs to us: it is not the question of a few merchants or boarding- house people or hotel men in the District of Columbia, but it is a question also affecting the people of the United States who come here to transact their business and who are inter- ested in every foot and inch of this District, and in every house in it of a public character, and every corporation that does business here. All I wamt is exact and even-tianded justice to the corporations as well as to the people of the District of Columbia, and it is as much my business directly to attend to that mattet here in regard to this corporation in the District of | tion Columbia as to attend to such a matter in the state of Missouri. I dispose, then, of the argument that this bill affects only one failroad with what I have said. It is no argument to tell_me that we cannot go any further. We did have a commission in this bill to take charge of the differences be- tween the people and all the railroads im this District; and now because, as the Senator in charge of this bill saya, only one railroad is ap- lying here, we ought not to adjust the rela- tions between it aud the District, but let it go also, with this wrong, as I consider, inflicted upon the people.

He spoke from ‘ob- servation and experience, and Lhave heard some rather humorous incidents connected with that legislation.” I have heard—the Sena- torfrom Vermont will know whether it is true or not; I have not locked at the Keeord for it— that after that bill had passed late at night the Senator from Vermont moved that a committee be appointed to wait upon Mr. Scott, the then President of the road, and ascertain if he had any other legislation to propose to = {Laughter.] ‘That bill was passed: and that is the basis of the location of that railroad and of their occupation of the inall and these reserva- Thave also heard a statement, which I will not take the time to read, of the president of | this road, Mr. Roberts, in regard to the abso- lute necessity for provi in all cities for either subterranean or overhead pawages over streets by railroad tracks, and he takes for bis company the very greatest credit because in the city of Philadelphia they bave lately pro- vided for overhead passage over all the strevts of that city by the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad Comipany.

There are two points of objection to this bill. Ihave stated one of them as rapidly and as succinctly as possible. It was that « differ- ence is made between other citizens of the United States and between the government of | the United States Hteolf and this corporation as | to the acquirement and possession of real es- tate in thit District. ‘The other is that there is no protection afforded to life and limb by this great railroad corporation when they go into use of the streets of this city for their tracks. They are given by this bill all that they demand and they give nothing. If there is anything in | the way of a concession to the demands of the People of the District of Columbia in this whole ill I have been unable to find it.

IfI were to consult alone my relations with the gentlemen intereste company I should say nothing against this bill; but with my convi i rd to its provisions I should consider ms lict to every wense of duty if Idid not say at least what I have said. Mr. Gibson asked Mr Vest whether the re- port could in any way be amended so that the evils complained of could be cured. THE ONLY REMEDY. “There is only one way in which we can take 8 step toward remedying these wrongs,” re- plied Mr. Vest, “and that is by rejecting this conference report. The only question now pending before the Senate is, we agree to this report? It comes here now with an agree- ment, as we all know from the Keeord, on the part of the House of Representatives to the conference report, and the only single ques- tion that is left to'us is, xhall we now follow tie fame course and agree to this report in the Senate? If we agree to it we simply sy to the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company, go on and occupy these reservations and pay nothing. We do not pretend to legislate as to tho gccupation of the depot upon 6th streetand fronting on the avenue. You have got it.
