Ohio Rail Road Company TO construct depots,
branch tracks and switches at different points
along the road 10 the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
and regulating TOLLS sc. -.
Mr.. TAYLOR OIL moved. to lay the bill on
The table and have the amendment printed and
made the order of the day for Monday.
Mr.JACkSON, on behalf ofthe Company, said,
that they now took no more intererest in the BILL
and the House could do with it what they pleased
MIR. WiTCHER thought we ought to get
through with the bill at once.
The House, by a large vote, refused to lay on
the table, Mr.. DENlSON having asked division
ofthe question.
MIR. TAYLOR OF L. sustained the amendment.
Mr.. LEE opposed the amendment. Though
he wasin favor of another terminus than Wheel
ing, he hoped the road would go to Wheel
ing and not 10 Pennsylvania. We should not
therefore clog the charter with these amendments.
Mr.. STEPHENSON, in duty to his conslilu-
ents iell bound to vote for the road 10 Wheeling,
though he had been disappointed in getting the
terminus they desired
Mr. GOODSON protested against clogging
the Railroad company with burthens for the bene-
fit of the Canal.
Mr. SMITH called the previous question, and
the amendment of MIR. Taylor Of L. was lost by
large majority.
Mr.. HAYS moved an amendment providing
for the incorporation OF the Northwestern Rail-
road Company, 10 construct a road 10 connect
with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
They would never ask the Stale for cent. MIR.
" said he asked the poor privilege for his people
10 tap the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad-to con-
struct a road for themselves with their own mo-
ney Mr. II. called The ayes and noes to see
who would resist such an humble privilege.
W.
this was new plan Of fighting the old battle. II
was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
in disguise.
Mr.. LEE warmly sustained Mr.. Hays amend
ment II would be a most tyrannous policy
for this House to refuse 10 the people OF The North
west the small boon OF making railroad with
their own money
Mr. HAYS amendment was lost, as follows

Mr.. PRESTON moved 10 strike out the sec
tons providing for the sale Of the Winchester
and Potomac Railroad to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company.
Mr.. CARSON explained those sections as
not providing for positive sale of said road 1t
may hereafter be accomplished, il the terms can
be agreed upon between the two companies.
Mr. VERIFY opposed the striking out.
MIR. CARSON said, that if the sale be COM
ple,ed it would bring in SIG, 600 TO the State. If
the sections be stricken out, the Winchester Road
would not bring in cent
Mr.. DENlSON opposed the striking out, and
sustained the policy Of the sale. The Wnches-
Ter Road cannot be supported without foreign
aid.
Mr.. PRESTON explained He thought it OBJ
vous, now that the right of way is refused, the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad Company would not
be willing 10 close this sale. He therefore, re-
earled these sections as unnecessary. But, If
said Company will still make the purchase, he
had no objection, and he therefore withdrew his
motion.
Mr. GOODSON earnestly sustained the i'm
porlance Of keeping up the Winchester Railroad.
MIR. G. regarded the vote this evening against the
RICH, Of way as deaih-knell 10 any improve
menls in the State

the bill, so as to prevent The discontinuance OF the
Depols on the Winchester Railroad. Carried.
Mr.. WATTS moved 10 amend the bill, by
striking out the proviso for reduction on through
tickets on The Baltimore and Washington Branch,
TO the minimum price on the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road The proviso was intended 10 inter-
fere with the Bay Route and the Portsmouth Rail
Road
Mr.. EDMUNDS of Halifax moved 10 amend
said proviso, by fixing the minimum OF fare on
the Baltimore and Washington Rail Road at four
cents per mile
Mr.. +. sustained his amendment, and thought
we should ask nothing more OF The Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road Company. He believed that the
Company would accept this BILL if il were not
with heavier restrictions. Mr.. E.
pointed out the great benefits TO Virginia, II The
Company construct the Rail Road To Wheeling
though he (Mr. E. had preferred more South
ern terminus than Wheeling.
Mr.. BOILING opposed Mr.. Edmunds'
amendment, and in favor of the original proviso
Mr.. EDMUNDS of Halifax replied.

MIR. E., and in favor Of the original proviso.
