The Clerk then read the title of the bill incorpo-
rating Jonathan Brock, John Ely and others, as
| the Baltimore City Passenger Railroad The vote
was taken on its passage. During the call of the
ayes and nays, members explained their votes as
! follows:
Mr.. LEGG arose to explain his vote. He hoped the
! House would give him time to explain his VOTE
! His situation was peculiar. He was sorry for it.
| He came here opposed to the Brock BILL but when
he saw this newspaper { The SAM scattered broad
| cast to the world uttering grave charges against
these men, be elt deep interest in the matter He
was instrumental in getting the Investigation Com
! mttee appointed. As you all know, a mass of evil
! dence was taken. To his mind all the testimony
failed to prove the charges against the gentlemen
utterly failed. [Applause. He signed the ma
! Jorlty report under these circumstances He did
| this with reluctance-but his feelings were so
much enlisted in favor of a man whose character
was so DETAINED and blackened-yet withal, who
was innocent, he could not do otherwise. This
paper, though it had been the "dearest journal" to
! him of all others, he was convinced had gone
! too far He despsed the paper or man that tried
to take away the character of any person party.
! Mr.. Abel had failed to appear when summoned to
substantiate the facts in his paper. The Sergeant
alarms said he lodged and that the editor of the
| paper was sick in bed. He felt humiated that
this bill had occupied the attention of the House ia
| the exclusion of more important measures-mea.
sures vital to the interests of the State Citizens
OF the State from one part to the other had come
| up and protested against it. He knew not W neither
! there was fraud in it. He knew not the cause OF
the great pressure of the bill but the circumstances
were not such as to warrant his voting in the
| affirmative.
Mr.. WoRTHINGToN explained that he was opposed
| to the bill-he was opposed to the underground
| railway-he was opposed to Northerners having a
| foot-hold in Baltimore; and believing that political
capital would and had been made out of the rail-
way, he voted against it.
Mr. QUINLAN explained that yesterday there was
an amendment proposed that he thought would be
acceptable to his delegation. He voted for it and
did intend to vote for the bill. He voted in this
way last night, but, on reflection, he concluded to
change his mind. 1t was not comfortable to be
Lone Star. He considered that this CITY Council
! of Baltimore, which granted the charter to the
Travers grantees, put in office through fraud
and violence. lie did not feel as a Democrat that
he should sanction their acts, when he knew that
the road was in hands of the opposition up to the
| very time of this Legislature being elected gave
him another reason for determining upon his course
As democrat, even though all his sympathes were
| enlisted with Brock On account of the vile traduc-
tions of him-he did not think he could vote as his
| friends at first supposed he would vote. Believing
that bis constituents were opposed to it; believing
that the State was opposed to it, he could not bu
vote in The negative.
