bWe notice in the Philadelphia Register an
article on the present condition of the Bill author-
ENG the city of Philadelphia to subscribe fol TO-
Uoo shares of the stock of the Hempfeld Railroad
Company. 1t appears that the proviso attempted
TO be attached by the Pitsbughe1s is in the follow
ing words
'PrOuided, That the said subscription shall
"not be allowed or lawful, unless the LEGISLATURE
lot Virginia, shall, at its present session. grant to
'the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad Com

twill be seen that the words of this proviso place
the Hempfeld Road subscription by Philadelphia,
entirely under the control ofthe city of Pittsburgh
ION such reasonable terms as may be satisfac
tory to the said Steubenvlle and Pittsburgh Rail-
road Company" is language TOO plain to be mis-
understood. If the Steubenville road had neglec-
ted its application 10 the Legislature of Virginia,
so that its bill would be neglected or otherwise,
then the Hempfeld road would hang suspended
upon the dictum of the aforesaid company. Again,
II the Steubenville and Pittsburgh Company
should see fit to be dissatisfied with the act of
Virginia, should State he terrified into terms
then this worsbipful Company will have it again in
their power 10 control Philadelphia Take it al
