THE PROPOSED CANAL SUBSIDIES

THE PROPOSED CANAL SUBSIDIES.
The House set aside Thursday for report
from the committee on commerce, relating
to the fourteen or fifteen canal projects,
which, in the form of bills for government
aid, have been referred to them. The COM
mittec simply reported back the bills, and
asked to be discharged from further consider
alton, on the ground that they do not regard
the various surveys in progress as suthclently
far advanced for Congress to be in possession
of the full information which such policy
as these measures involve would require: The
other reason for non-action is founded III the
sh0rtness of the session and the pressure OF
business. The important bills In the batch
reported back are the Niagara snip canal
around the falls, the James river and Kanaw-
ha. the Atlantic and Great Western, project
ed from Savannah to the Ohio and Mississip-
nj rivers by intermediary locations, and in
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee; the St.
Philips canal, designed to obviate the diff
culties encountered in crossing the Baize at
the mouth of the Mississippi: one to con
meet Lake Michigan and the Mississippi. and
another from Lake Ponchartrain along the
gulf coast to the Rio Grande. The balance
are OF minor importance. The Niagara canal
IS proposed to be constructed to Schlosser's
island above, to Lewiston below the falls, and
to be sufficiently large to admit the passage
OF the largest vessels employed on the lakes.
The cost WILL 1T is estimated, be between
twelve and fourteen millions of dollars.
Ofthe Kanawha and James River canal
over 100 miles are already completed. In the
remaining portion there is tunnel nine
miles long to be constructed In the deep
cuts approaching this tunnel, at least forty
locks will he needed There is another prof.
ect, by which the tunnel is to be two and a
half miles long The distance to be con-
structed is over four hundred miles. Ten
and half million dollars have already been
expended. The amount estimated as neces-
sary to finish the work is put at about eight
million dollars, besides which there are pri-
vate liens to the amount of two and hal
million dollars more. The Atlantic and
Great Western is next in Importance and
favor. The company estimate the cost off the
construction as between seventeen and twen-
ty millions. Bonds are proposed to be issued,
on which government is asked to guarantee
interest at the rate of four and half per
cent. The work is to be taken for security,
and if interest remains unpaid for thirty days
after due at any time, the mortgage may be
foreclosed. 5t.&

THE sharp contest at the meeting of the
co1porators of the Portland & Bath Railroad
Company at Bath Wednesday is significant,
and the result, judged from the majority of the
board of directors, is still more significant, as
it surely indicates that the Eastern Railroad
Company has obtained the control of the or
ganization, leaving the Boston & Maine and
other parties interested in the building o; the
proposed road out in the cold, having only
the consolation Of attempting to ascertain by
what means they have been ous-generaled. In
the result, too, may be found the cause of the
practical acquiessence of the Maine Central
to the granting of the charter by the Legisla-
ture Some time since the PRESS cautioned
the friends of the proposed road to look out
for flank movements, and had they taken its
advice they would not now be repeating:
