Let the Canal Alene,

Certain parties, more interested in their
own aggrandizement than concerned for
the public good, have engaged powerful
lobby 10 secure for them from the Legisla-
ture that portion OF the Miami Canal ex-
tending from the intesection OF Court
street and Broadway TO point IN the
vicinity OF the Work-house. There are
sReral schemes for this purpose, and it
well for the public that such is the
fase, for the opposing interests working
against each other may serve to defeat the
common object the theft OF its proper
ty. The argument advanced by the schem-
ers that the canal would not be injured
by the psoposed change is a most falla-
cious one, and will not stand the slight
est analysis. Next to its usefulness as
means for the speedy and cheap transpor-
tation of merchandise, the great value
of the canal is as preventive of excess
lev freight charges by the parallel lines of
railroads. Large quantities OF lumber
are brought to this city from Toledo.
Formerly the freight on it was between
s. and SO per thousand feet. Now in
order to prevent its being transported by
the canal, the railroads are carrying it
for between 50 and So thousand feet.
AT present the rates of freight on the ca
nal average about as follows:
Per 100 lbs.
Dayton to Cincinnati 65 miles
Middetown to Cincinnati Al miles
Hamilton to Cincinnati, 2s &c.
Lockland to Cincinnati 12miles
These low rates compel comparatively
as low rates on the railroads. How it
would be if the canal were abandoned or
injured may be inferred from the follow
ing: Last year a well known shipper
made a contract for the transportation
of a quantity of flour from mill this
side of Middletown to this city by canal
at Sc. a barrel. Before the contract was
completed the canal froze over, and he was
compelled to ship the remainder of the
flour by rail, and had to pay 35c. bar
rel for its transportation. If tho south.
ern terminus of the canal is made near
the Work-house, it will necessitate the
reshipment of all the merchandise trans
ported by it. and the cost of draying
freight to and from the business portion
of the city, and that point will be so great
as to DESTROY its business. This would
work great injury. not only to Cincinnati,
but especially to Hamilton, Middletown,
Franklin, Dayton and the minor inter-
mediate points, and seriously interfere
with the profits of the manufacturing
interests in the valley. The following ta !
