RIGHT OF WAY QUESTION.

The subject of granting the right of
way for the extension Of the Baltim ore
and Ohio Railroad through Virginia 10
the Ohio River, came up in the Virginia
House Of Delegates on Tuesday, as the
order of the day.
Mr.. Shelley, at an early stage Of the
proceedings, asked leave to withdraw the
substitute offered by himself some time
since, and which would have necessarily
come up as a competing proposition with
that offered by Mr.. Hunter Of Jefferson.
Mr.. Shelley having withdrawn his bill,
Mr.. Hunters substitute was then alone
before the House, until Mr. Ellington sub
milted an amendment, authorizing the
company TO terminate their road at Wheel
ing, and in the route thither to strike the
Ohio at the mouth of Fish Greek; bat if,
after a survey, it should be found that the
route partly by Fish Greek and partly by
Grave Creek was a better and cheaper
route, or, if it be more costly, provided
Wheeling should pay the difference Of
cost in construct ion, then, in either case
the route partly by Fish Greek and partly
Grave Greek to Wheeling should be pur-
sued.
Mr.. Ellington explained and sustained
his amendment, and Mr.. Hunter spoke
in reply in opposition to it, and in favor
Of his own proposition for striking the
Ohio at Fishing Greek, and constructing
a lateral branch from thct point to Vince
ling provided Wheeling should subscribe
not less han 81, 900. 900 to the improve
ment, and provided further, that her
bonds given in payment Of her subscrip-
ton, should not be sold in the market for
less that 70 cts. in the dollar.
In regard to the substitute offered by
himself, Mr.. Hunter assured the House
that it had been drawn up.by him, entire
ly without consultation with the Presi-
dent or Directors of the Baltimore compa-
ny.
The Richmond Republican goes on to
The Northern Mail having brought the
proceedings oftheBoard ofDirectors of the
B. 81 O. r. r. Company, held on Mon
day last, Mr.. Hunter read from the Balti-
American the resolutions adopted at
that meeting.
After this, Mr.. Stephenson, of Wood,
asked the gentleman from Jefferson TO
give way for a motion to adjourn, the
hour being late. He accordingly gave
way, and the subject will again come up
his Wednesday, morning as unfinished
business of yesterday.
The Richmond Republican says in con-
.,lusion: "lf we mistake not the signs
he right Of way stands OF better ground
the success now than ever before
