The Rail Road.

The grading on the S.eubervijlc and In
diana Rail Road is now in a state approach
ing its complexion from Steubenvllle to about
the 30th section. 10 that point, the heaviest
work is on section twenty-five, where there
is a tunnel Of a little over 1900 feet. The
enterprising contractors, D. G. & 0. N, SAILS
bury, who have the contract for making this
tunnel as well as grading two or three other
sections, are pushing their work with unex-
ampled rapidly. Had it been possible to
e~xcavate the tunnel from both ends at the
same time, it would have been completed
months o From the west end, the exca-
walton under the hill, has already reached
nine hundred feet. But at the east end OF
the tunnel, it is approached by a cut fifty
feet deep for about five hundred yards; and
owing to the position Of the slaty reckon the
north side of the cut, lying at an angle OF
about forty degrees elevation the earth and
rock on that side, for a considerable distance
has slipped in, greatly retarding the work.
But the energy and activity Of the contract
orS have been equal to every emergency,
and they have pcrseyered in prosecuting
their work under every Encouragement, in
e. manner that merits the highest praise.
We have understood that the Me8srs. Sal,

grading the Branch road, leading from The
main line of the S. and J.. Railroad to Cadiz
We earnestly hope that they may be the
successful bidders. Tie energysand perse:

Mr. Hughs sgil I've had no, thought there
would no. hsye been any uppcsiuoa To the
passage If this bill. The very object Of the
bill was 10 reduce expenses and cheaper the
transportation Of properly and persons, and
il this Is what the gentleman from Perry
calls aiding and assisting m~onopolies. his
definition ofthe word was entirely different
from mine; bnt sir I csAnot think the gen
tleman from Perry fl!y understood the pro-
yisicAs Of the bill, because, if be had, he
could not have come to such a conclusion.
SIR the object of this bill is to render the.
tare Of transportation. by giving railroad
companies of other States the privilege OF
consolidating their stocks, so as to prevent
the transportation of propcrIy-every facil.
ity Of this kind furnished Railroad eompa-
, MES it moacy in the pockets OF the producer,
because it cheapens the transportation OF
Poperty.
The Speaker am as much opposed to
%monopolies as the gentleman from Perry, d
III thought the passage Of this bill would,
in any way, contribute towards establishing
a monopoly, | certainly would be opposed
to it; bat sir, such is not the fact; the practi-
cal effect OF the bill, if passed, would have
a contrary effect, for whatever reduction you
can make on the transportation of proper Y,
