Chesapeake and Ohio Ca',al--Thc Committed
on Roads and Canals in the House Of Represents
,ives Of the United States have reported bill
au,horsing further subscription by the genera
government of million of dollars, TO the stoci
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, ant
sproposticn has also been introduced into thu
House of Delegates Of Virginia, by MIR. Fanlk
ner, for further aid.
We have heard it intimatcd that these PROPOSE
lions would not meet with favor from many OF th'
former friends of the Canal, on account OF the
expulsion Of Gen. Mercer and the substitution Of
Major Eaton in the Presidency of the company
None rcprobated that measure more ardently ant
more earnestly than ourselves, and although W
deemed il calculated in high degree to impair
public confidence and public interest in thu
scheme of the Canal, yet we regarded the elec
ton Of Major Eaton merely as Precipitation o
the favor OF the President Of the United States il
aid Of the work, looking to the reelection of thu
former able directory as decided assurance tina
the mode of conducting the work was to remain
unchanged. Under these considerations we car
see no reason why those who are friendly to thu
best interests of the Canal should be lukewarm il
its favor, or unwilling to trust the expenditure
money to the company, and its directory. w
imagine that no good ever was anticipated from
Major Eaton's election, but those who exaltee
him took care that he should do no harm, ane
thus fettered him with directory whose acts he
could in no wise control.
