Decision of the Chancellor. Tic report Il
which we gave publicity last week, respecting ;
decision Of the Chancellor of Maryland. in con
troversy between the Rail Road and Canal Com
panies, was without Foundation. What we stat
ed was actually communicated to gentleman
of standing and responsibility in this place. BY
person directly from HaSerstown. and in man
ner calculated to impress the mind with it
truth.
While upon this subject, we may at once ad
vert briefly to the circumstance of the della,
with which the proceedings, in this case. before
the CHANCELLOR are attended. Several months
have been permitted to elapse since the facts re
quired BY the Chancellor for his decision, wer,
laid before him. We disclaim any imputatioj
Of blame to the Chancellor, or either Of the Conf
panies-for we do not pretend to know whe{
the fault, if fault il be, lies. The State of MI
ryland and the United States having large peel
mary investments in those works must be dee IL
interested in the speedy removal Of any obstac fs
which may prolong or prevent their advancement.
The public then feel an interest. deep inter5t.
in this subject; anHthe inquiry is becoming d.
eral, when will the dispute between the two dn-
panes be brought to such state as NAV pro4se
something like termination?
