The forfeiture clanse" was attempted to
be inserted in the B. & o., but was defeated
1t is general principal, with corporations
that forfeiture clauses" are insuferable
For instance, this provided, that in certain
contingencies in relation to arbitration, the
b. 4 .. was to forfeit the grant. 1t is
highly unreasonable TO suppose the B. 4 q
or any other company would accept such a
grant and 90 on with such costly improve
menls, when they might he suddenly de,
prived OF the right to operate That one
clause was certainly defeated withjustice.
1t is very singular, speaking of railroads,

men view the same thing. When Council
had adjourned, on Wednesday, and passed
out, man remarked:
That the best DAYS work for the work
ingmen of Wheeling, that Council has done
for many long day.
While another remarked that I'm five
wears from now, every man who voted for
the ordinance would wish he had never
been born" Which showed there were two
sides to the question In the Second Branch
Mr.. Jones voted for the ordinance because
he saw, in Pittsburg, that railroads ran
over the streets; strange to say, in the
First branch, Uuncle John Boring opposed
the ordinance because the 2. {. Il st. L..
was compelled to tunrel in Pittsburg.

Mr. Hall in arguing for the grant, said
Wheeling's railroad policy had built up
Belaire, by driving away the bridge
Mr.. Boring SAYS it's no such thing and the
bridge would never have come here any
how. And this shows another difference Of
opinion among great men. Mr.. HALL is re-
sardcd as one of the most astute members
Of Council, while Uncle John has memory
that runneth back to the time when men
know not the contrary and both ought to
know. There isat least one man in Coun-
ell who claims railroads are the inveRtion Of
the devil and Wheeling would be better
without them, while Mr.. Joseph Speidel says

rejecting about three feet from the bed OF,

of the e, ,gine and the speed at which the
train was ,mning alone prevented 1t from

ful catastrophe Vas averted. Captain Iitts,

THE RIVER. The ice in the river has all
broken up, is floating with the tides and in
several places has become 50 packed as to
interfere with navigation considerably.
several miniature icebergs have formed OIL
this city, which were viewed with interest
by the many persons who gathered on the
wharves this morning. The ferry steamers
have made their regular trips, but expert
ence some difficulty in getting through the
different jams. Two tugs and several oys-
ter boats started down the river this morn
ing. but the work of getting through the ice
was hard. The steamer Arrowsmith viii
resume her trips on Thursday morning next.
1t is thought that as soon as the gorge be-
low this city breaks the ice will rapidly
run off. The weather to day is warm and
spriug-like, but the indications, howeve',
are that to morrow will be clear, but cooler.
