vhc Ogdensburgh Railroad.
J. G. BENNETT, ESQ
nvsY SJp.-


DEAR SIR.--
In your paper of Saturday, IN giving the vote of
the House OF Assembly Of this State, on the bill
10 authorize the erection of bridge across the
outlet OF Lake Champlain, you says
"Beforc tho Anal vote taken, the Speaker mo yed
to amend tie bill 20 IS to compel the Ogdensburgh
Railroad to carry freight destined for the Hudson river
cheap per mile as IL bound to Boston, but the
House refused
This is a mistake. The bill had been previous
ly amended in Committee OF the Whole $50 as to
compel the Ogdensburgh Railroad to carry freight
destined for the Hudson River, as cheap per mile
as il bound to Boston'' The amendment propos-
ed by the Speaker was, to compel the Og-
densburgh Railroad to compel the Vermont
Railroad, from opposite Rouse's Point to Burng
ton, IN Vermont, "to carry freight destined for the
HUDSON River, as cheap per mile as If bound to
Boston" This the House refused, because the
Ogdensburgh Railroad had no control over the
Vermont road, and because the charter OF the
teimont Railroad provides against any such anti
cipated discrimination.
The same mistake has occurred in other Jour-
nalss as well as IN yours, and il arose probably
from the complicated character of the amendment,
and lts not being properly understood by the re-
portels. Justice to the House, and Justice to the
friends OF the bill, require tina: the correction
should be made, ant trust that yourself and other
Journalists will feel willing to do 80. J.
