The Baltimore AMI Potomac Rail.

The bill to amend the charter and extend the
tlme Tor the completion of our railroad was not
disposed of by the State Senate last Friday as
We had anticipated, that body having then de-
ferred Its action until yesterday, when il came
up as the order of the day at O'Clock. Ar
pretending, therefore, that some little misaI,
prehension or ignorance may still exist here IS
TO the real objects and intentions of the COM
pany, We bespeak the attention of our readers
once more 10 the matter The necessity for an
extension OF the time TO complete the road win
surprise no one who is at all familiar with the
dlfhculties that have beset the contractors here
IN TINS county during the past year. Every cit
zen mas shared a mutual anxiety that this might
be promptly accorded by the Legislature and not
only further time, but larger powers, to enable
1ne I work to be prosecuted more vigorously.
The nth section, therefore, re-enacts fhe
twelfth section of the original charter author
lzing the condemnation Of land and material for
the use OF the road by jury of finquisition. This
jury Is now allowed to take into consideration
as an Offset to the disadvantages any benefits or
advantages which may accrue to the land
owner, but in other respects its powers are un-
cnangeG' Inc jury is to condemn the land or
material always before the company can enter or
use 1t, and we can find no authority anywhere i'm
this bill to authorize the damage to be done first
and assessed afterwards. Except in the assess
ment Of advantages and benefits, the whole
matter Of the condemnation of land and material
is now as it existed in the original charter
Inc only other section of the bill which has been
crlticiZed is the 9TH, which allows the company
additional compensation for TRANSPORTATION
through the tunnel at Baltimore, owing TO the
eApensivenses OF that portion of the work
The great advantages of a tunnel under the
city have been frequently admitted by every
paper in Baltimore. That il is a stupendous
undertaking everybody can at once see, and vet
our roac proposes to effect it. and will do IN by
the time required. 1t is but just that il should
be allowed to charge remunerative fare and
freight through IL when completed. and we am
Frehend that the General Assembly win not
hesitate to afford the authority.
When our road was first chartered every effort
was made to get the citizens of the State to build
IT. AS late as 1850 the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany seemed desirous to aid US, and obtained
then the sanction Of the State to do so WHY IL
never exercised it, and why our road has been
SO long being built, is a matter we do not care
now 70 discuss. Sufficient that we have at
lehgtn found friends disposed to aid us, and we
own State, those who would so illiberally criti-
cize our very moderate and just demands. Up
10 tAe hour OF going to press we are without ad-
vices from Annapolis, but we cannot doubt that
the Senate will pass the bill as reported without
alteration or diminution.-Prinee Georgian, 1lh
