The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1859-01-17

We learn from Judge Foster, who return
ed from indianapolis on Saturday, that the
Trustees expressed willingness-in case
the State would make no appropriations for
the repairs of the canal, nor accept its trans
fer to the State-to deliver the Southern di-
vision into the charge of private company,
who should take the entire management OF
it. As the State will make no appropria-
tons for it, and as the members of the Leg
islature have generally pledged themselves
to their constituents not to take back the
canal, they are afraid to receive it even as
free gift, lest they might incur some implied
obligations to give an equivalent for it in
some shape.
1t is not likely, therefore, to be accepted
by the State, and the destiny of the Canal
seems to be to fall into the hands of private
companies. Those interested in the matter
had better prepare for this arrangement
The local interest in the Canal along the
line will be strong enough to secure suffi
eient of stock to put the Canal in good re
pair and keep it in good order.
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1859-01-17

the LIST of December, 1858, of available
cash means, balance of $24,000-which
has been nearly exhausted in settling up
accounts to the LIST of January. During
the winter there is no income arising from
the tolls as the canal is closed, and owing
to the reduced quantity and quality of the
lands on hand, very little can be counted
on from that source.
The Trustees have not, therefore, the
means of opening and maintaining the navi-
CATION of the Canal, and they have no ex-
pectation of receiving enough from the tolls
and revenues of the Canal for that purpose.
The great decline in tolls and the ruin of the
Canal as q revenue measure, is consequence,
in the opinion of the Trustees, of the Rail-
road competition.
For the year 1852 the tolls amounted to
1892, 400, and had increased regularly from
1876 up to 1852, both inclusive, at the rate
ofeleven per cent per annum, which rate OF
increase, if continued up to 1858 inclusive,
would give for that year $363,000.
The receipts at the Fort Wayne Office
alone, where the incoming goods were en-
tered, averaged for several years previous to
the opening of the Wabash Valley road,
about $65, 600 per annum more than the re-
the last two years. Since theopening of the
railroad the receipts at that office have aver
aged about $4,000 per annum only. The
receipts at the Lafayette office, which was
the principal exporting office for corn, wheat,
pork, beet, &C., amounted in one year (1953)
! to $74, 900, and for several years previous to
1855, ranged from $50, 900 to $4,000 per
annum. After the opening of the railro ad,
the receipts at this Office were reduced to
about $12, 200 per annum.
| The railroads compete at every point, and
through all the region of country otherwise
tributary to the canal for trade; and ex-
perience demonstrates their power and
| success.
The Trustees say that unless some other
provision be made for the support of the
canal, as they have no means, it must ne,
cessarily be left to go into decay and ruin
and the damage to the whole region of coun
try through which it runs, and to the PEG
pie along the line, will be irreparable.-
They allude to the great property Interest,"
which have grown up under and in connec
ton with the canal during nearly twenty
years that the larger portion of it has beer
in operation-such as mills, warehouses
manufactures, boats, &C., &c.
1t is obvious that the bondholders hav
no longer any interest in the working o
maintaining of the canal, as it has ceased t.
afford any net income, and on that accoun
is no longer regarded as a security, and tn
report is accompanied by communication
to this effect from the bondholders. TIL
Trustees, therefore, submit the subject t
} the Legislature for their action in view c
the interests and welfare of the State an
her own citizens.
The report is accompanied with very fu
tables showing the affairs of the Trust.

EIection OF state Omcers.


The Legislature went into joint conven-
ton on Friday for the choice of State Of
fcers. The Democrats with the assistance
of the Independents, elected most of their
nominees. Gen. Cravens, of Washington
county, was elected State Agent instead OF
Aquilla Jones, nominated for the place by
by the caucus. Mr.. Brown, of Floyd, was
elected Director of the State Prison In
room of Mr.. Donnelly. Richard Raleigh,
ESQ.,, of this city was elected Canal Trustee.
This selection secures the interest of Evans
Vile and the lower section of the canal
Mr.. Raleigh will make and efficient Trustee
and one who will sedluously watch the in
terests of this section, and will insist that
we receive our full share of the attention
and appropriations by the Board. should the
canal remain in the hands of the Trustees
We learn that the Republicans weremuch
ehagrined by their total defeat in the elee-
ton of State officers. The Democrats dis
praced themselves and the State, by going
into "a big Indian drunk generally" in
their exultation over their triumph. Messrs.
Blythe and Davis, of Floyd, voted for the
Democcrtic: candidates, and Mr.. Smith, of
Perry, paired off with some Republican in
the election.

Report OF the Trustees of the Wa
bash and Erie Canal

The State Sentinel gives the following
synopsis of the report of the Canal Trustees
just communicated to the Legislature:
The trustees have submitted their report
for 1853. We call attention to the matter,
as it will be one of the most important
question which will demand the attention
of the Legislature at the present session.
The result of the years business shows a
deficiency of $4,000 as compared with the
cost of maintenance. This result was in
creased by the extra damage done the canal
by the great June floods, which also inter-
rupted the navigation for nearly ninety
days.
The deficiency for 1857 was about $780,
900.
The estimated outlay for repairs and ex-
penses of maintenance for the year 1859 is
about Sl55,000, of which amount about
$93, 900 will be required in the Southern
| division, between Terre Haute and Evans
vile, and the balance of 1853, 900 between
Terre Haute and the State line. Allowing
| for considerable increase in the tolls and
water rents in 1859 over 1858, still the de-
hciency of income to cover the EXPENSE o.
maintenance, would not be less, probably
than $4,000. The trustees had on hand or
