THE AVENUE RArLkoAp BILL was up again in

THE AVENUE RAILROAD BILL was up again in
the Senate yesterday.
The pending question was on the amendment
authorizing the Metropolitan Railroad Company
to construct the read, and providing that the
company shall not appropriate the proceeds Of
the road for dividend until their railroad from
Georgetown to the Point of Rocks, in Maryland
shall have been completed
This amendment was adopted by vote of %
to2I
The question then coming mp on its passage
MI Bayard called for the yeas and nays. The
Dill, be said, was now worthless; the road could
never be made under that grant
MIR. Brown hoped the friends Of the bill would
suneT II to pass and 90 to the House Of Represen-
tattVeS with the amendments The House con I'd
strike out the amendments and let the bill 90 70
conference II would never become law as It
was
Mr.. Wilson wanted the privilege of voting
against the bill. He looked upon it as cmncn'lY
unjust The prov:so that the company should
take no dividends until they had completed
another road forty miles long would amount to
nothing. Whist had the people or Georgetown
and Washington to do with this road to the
Point q Rocks, forty miles in the country!
MI Chandler also wanted to record his vote
against tie bill. He had advocated the bill
originally because d company had come in and
proposed TO build n road In the District without
asking the aid Of Congress The Metropolitan
Company claimed the road as a right, because
without II they were not able TO build their own
road. That 1mpdny had been p constant lie JgaT,
and he'd accomplished nothing. Not a foot OF
the avenue road wou'd ever be bnilt by that COM
pany. lie had 10 faith in that pToviso. The
Officers CT the company. suppoSin2 the road 10
De built, would pocket the income In the shape
Of salaries, and ask fOr no dividend~. 1t was a
bogus company, grand humbug. This road TO
the Point of Rocks had about much to do with
the avenue road as ID had with The righ 10 manu-
fariuTe sewing machines
Mr. Yulee said he voted FOR the amendment
because he was opposed to placing any track
upon the avenue. HIS purpose was 10 defeat the
whole scheme He moved TO lay the whole sub
jet on The table, which was disagreed to.
Mr. Doolittle hep the friends of the road
would suffer the bill to pass. lie was certain it
would come to a conference and finally pass In
it, original shape.
The yeas and nays were ordered on the pas
sage Of the BILL and resulted as follows
Neas-Messrs. Bright, Brown, CheSnut, Clay
