THE TUNNEL IN BALTIMORE

| --lt
was completed to connection with the
Northern Central railroad, owned by
the Pennsylvania Company. On Sun
day night a train started from here by
way of Philadelphia, Lancaster, York,
and Baltimore to Washington, over a
through route owned by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company. 1t goes By
the Pennsylvania roads-old Camden
and Amboy-to West Philadelphia i;
thence by Pennsylvania and Northern
Central to Lancaster, 7 ork, aud Balti-
more thence by Baltimore and Potomac
to Washington. 1t avoids the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad and the Union railroad Of Bal
timore--learing Wilmington out of the
route It is forty seven miles further,
but makes the same time as the old
road. The trip TO Washington is made
in eight hours. This road gains an ad
vantage in time over the other By
steaming through the tunnel instead OF
using horses through the city Of Balti-
more, and this in good part affects the
difference in length Of the route, -

short leases, or by votes in the direc
tories owned by the Pennsylvania Com
pany and its friends The simple fact
is, so far as control goes that Mr.
Thomas NJ. Scott to day controls all the
through rail communications south Of
Washington 10 New Orleans, directly
or indirectly. The first step Of opposi-
ton to that great railroad king Mr.,
john w. Garrett was in. 1865 or 1867,
when Colonel John w. Forney and a
number Of others IN Washington picked
up from the possession Of an old canal
boatman in Maryland I + 4ig
AN OLD CHARTER FOR 4 RAILROAD.
MIR. Clinton Lloyd was the moving and
responsible spirit in that affair. They
let the owner in, and, putting money
into the scheme, secured necessary
amendments and extensions from the
Maryland Legislature, and the rights of
entry into Washington from Congress.
Then they commenced work, and before
they had gone far Mr.. Scott came along,
paid the owners of the franchise-seyen
or eight in number,-$40,O00 apiece,
and built the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad, between Baltimore, Washing
ton and point near Occoquan. 1t has
been completed for several months, but
the connecting tunnel in Baltimore was
finished only a few days ago. It was
necessary up to last week to land pass
engers over two miles from the heart of
Baltimore, and for that reason the road
was not much patronized as localroad
between Baltimore and Washington

JOHN W. GARRETT,


If Mr.. Scott has laid his hand on San
Francisco and New Orleans from Phil
adelphia and New York, Garrett, a
slower and more conservative man, has
exhibited his greatness by graspng San
Francisco and New Orleans from Bal
timore and Philadelphia. Here is a
man who for quarter of century has
stndicd the law, Of travel, and been
more or less apractical ,railroader. In
Baltimore Mr.. Garrett is as much a
leader at business and intellectual gath
erings as any man in that city, and his
opinion is cherished az a proverb.-
While Scott combines the dash and
steady executive ability for new enter
prises, and Gould's lean footstep leaves
its imprint on Wall street, Garrett sits
quietly in his Office. He is man of
powerful nerve, whose large brain is
supported by an extraordinary physique
and 210 pounds Of flesh. He plots and
plans and executes, but his conservative
! Judgment is, when set in opposition to
| such an active man as Scott, 10 az ,.r.
| a LITTLE SLOW FOR THE OCCASION i
He erected solid base for the great
fortune he has gathered about him, and
his stockholders rub their hands in glee
as the big dividends come rolling in.,--
But when Mr. Scott doomed up he had
a foeman that necessarily aroused his
energies to their utmost, and the great
connections and improvements he should
long ago have made have all been made
since they became an absolute necessity
to the preservation Of the riches that
entered in his company. It will take
him a year OF two to do what he finally
determined upon: and in the mean time
Scott has leaped as a greyhound upon
the scene to carry off share of the
honors and profits that Garrett might
have borne alone. The Washington
| branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road carried soldiers and supplies
enough during the war to make o great
corporation wealthy. and the regular
business was SO much more, profit
Garrett fought off all railroad schemes
between those cities by holding them
in the Maryland Legislature till Forney's
party finished UP the Baltimore and Pc
tomac charter, as above described

The comments Of the Intelligent press Of
the country, provoked by the oficisl cxamina-
tlon Of tho icc-hoc heroes Of the PolAris crew,
show unanimous belief that the late Polar
expedition, so far ~ II progressed toward the
completion Of Its object, was an unqualified
success. There arc Journals, 1t is true, like
our msming contemporary, In whose columns
we and declarations that II was failure,
hut they are rather prompted by personal and
political malice, or arise from neglect TO
anaiyEe even the meagre details Of the voy-
age that have been made public. The truth
Ia that American energy has accomplished
more within the past two years toward
lucid explanation Of the Polar mystery than
the combined efforts Of the civilized world
have for generations, or from the beginning
Of Polar explorations. The discovery Of In
dications OF animal and vegetable life In a
higher latitude than the eye OF white man
ever gared upon before IL alone sufficient TO
rccompense US for our loss In the enterprise,
as It shows the possibility Of greater
success than has yet been reached In
the solution Of the Polar problem. But
added TO this arc facts which furnish data on
which 10 base calculations relative to the
puxrling secrets Of science which arc inyalu-
able to the scientist, and which may yet
create revolution In mcteorology, In the use
Of the mariners compass, and In astrology.
II Is true that the North passage may not
have been discovered, aud that the popular
expectation regarding the North Pole may be
disappointed; hut Il Ia, nevertheless, an un-
disputed fact that the data at hand adds i'm
measurably to the resources on which are
based the estimates and prognostlcations Of
the scientific world. Secretary Robssons
report, indorsed, as It deseryedly Is, BY Prof.
Baird, Who has made the subject an especial
study, will therefore attract extraordinary at
tention wherever questions Of dsmonstratiye
science arc discussed. In short, on such
meagre information as may bo found In the
cursory statements and observations Of Capt.
Tyson and Sergeant Meyers oftentimes re-
side the germ OF miraculous scientific dcyel-
Opments. But It Is fair to presume, from the
record Of Meyers observation in tho high
latitude reached by the Polaris, a. well as
Capt Halls last dispatch, that only the un-
fortunate death Of the latter prevented COM
piete realization Of popular expectation re-
gardlng the expedition. This Is proven by
the fact that q comparison OF Capt. Halls
unprecedented success with the records Of ex-
ploraiions which have been made on what
We call the other side OF the world will show
that but q comparatively short space inter-
Sencd between the two respective highest
latitudca.

Thank God harbor" and Northumberland

tion Of our customary success In attempts to

ments Of modern Journalism there appeared
another mar, In the columns Of the ohron-
icle, the dark background OF which suggested
the possibility that the delineator did his
work during the six months Of continuous
night which each year shrouds the Polar cir
Gle. The latter did not include the point al
which the separation Of the ioe-aoe party
from the Polaris occurred. and placed Caps
Union below the highest latitude that has yei
been reached BY civilized crplorep. Thu

TUESDAY, MAY 20, 1873.

Speaking of the appreciation of merit, by
the Southern people, without reference to the
place of birth, the Baltimore Sun says: John
M. Berrien, the distinguished representative
in former days of Georgia in the United States
Senate, was native of New Jersey. johnson,
of Virginia, native Of New York, was elected
Governor of Virginia over George W. Sum-
mcrs, native Nirginian. The fathers OF the
late Dr. Josiah Clark Mott, principal author OF
the famous TYPES of Mankind, = by Mott and
GIiddon, was native of Eastern Connecticut,
but moved to Camden, South Carolina, where
he practiccd law with success, was elected to
Congress, and ended his days as judge OF the
State Court OF Appeals. The most brilliant
and popular orator 10 the Southern States,
Sargent s. Prcntiss, of Mississippi, was na-
tive of Maine, and one Of the most famous
Southern editors, George D. Prentiss, OF Ken
lucky, was a native of Connecticut. The list
might be indefinitely extended.
