The Board enter into briefreview of
the controversy Of last summer iu relation
TO railroad bridges. We sx,ract the fol-
lowing remarks:
"It has been claimed by some Railroad
Companies ,ha: their charters place them
bey ond the reach OF State legislation and
action, and that they would not obey any
law which the Legislature might pass.
unless they felt il their interest to do so.
1t was in view Of this claim that this
Board in report to the Legislature,
during its last session, suggested that The
State still had power TO vindca,e It's leg.
islaGon from being trampled upon BY
these Companies, in the last report,
might withdraw its protection from such
Companies as shonld refuse to obey its
enacimenis. Much obloql has been
heaped upon tho Board for this sugges-
ton, though it is difficult to see how any
individual, or company, which sets the
Legislation at defiance, can complain Of
the withdrawal of the protection Of lha
law from them.
"The Board had high authority FOR
the suggestion it made, in the former
Legislation Of the State, in the great
struggle which arose from the efforts to
tax the Branch of the United States
Bank IN this State. A Law was then
passed, on report to the Legislature by
Gen. Harrison and Charles Hammond,
Withdrawing the protection of the laws
of this State and its officers from said
Bank, which would fully Justify any leg
slalion suggested by this Board in refer
ence TO Railroads. ,...
"The object tho Board had in view in
making the order, was effected; for, not.
wshs,andng the singular opinions ad>
vanced by Judge Hurd, in making his
decisions, the Railroad Companies have
submitted to The Bourd their plans of
q1ifges prioOko erecting them, and have
os,ained- our approval, making such
alterations therein as we have suggested.
"Gcnerasly there has bceu perfect
harmony between US and these Compa-
nes, and while the navigation of the
Canals has been preserved from obstruc.
lion, the interests Of the Companies,
it is believed have not suffered"

recollect the disappointment they ex-
perienced no longer ago Than last spring
when they received per order a cargo of
trees, a number Of which were small and
scrubby. We hopO the following will
account for it. But let us look and see
what progress ti.al lot of trees have made
and we will find that where they were
properly planted and cared for they have
made very good growth and look fine
and healthy. Others that were planted
in a hurry, without any practical know :
ledge or care, are now either dead or
more scrubby than they were last spring.
But again, others that we're planted with
care and nurscd carefully through the
summer, when winter came were sub
. b r
milted to the ahorlning,iu process, to be
performed by the cattle, and now those
who have planted them are almost dis,

Legislative proceedings, except in the
titles ofbills are almost myth; and we
are not relieved by lengthy reports. of

Senator, Mr., MuNGEN is flooding the
country with what purpor's 10 be his
speech in tho Senate, when, we learn, he
never made any such speech inthat body,
but an entirely different kind Of speech.
Thisis moi unusual. Very many Of the
published speeches we read are almost
anything else but what Hon. members
say in the Legislature, and Congress. -
But we ought 10 be thankful that members
keep their "hasty plate' performances
among themselves, and bestow their ma
