THE G. & 0. CANAL.-Both houses OF the
Maryland Legislature yesterday passed
concurrent resolution appointing JOINT SO 20,
lect committee Tor the consideration OF al
matters relating to the Chesapeake anu ONO
Canal Company, with authority TO report
nv bill or otherwise. II Is said Ice object OF
having canal matters come before this COM
mittee sis to give the canal anothe: chance
for its life." The statement i lnacc mat
there may be proposition !ssr;esed 10 fuhd
the canal DEBT at lower rae Of interest, or
to scale the debt, and place tho company IN
a condition TO make improvements. The
Baltimore Sun says:
Senator Peter, Of the committee, is
strongly oppossd.to sale Of the canal. Inc
canal people openly denounce statements
that are Sc. &tloat in the State House iop'
bies for political ends to the elect tnae a
plan is on feet 10 sell tho canal TO west
Virginia Central Railroad s. syndicate, &C.
The president of the canal company says
that ifthe canal were to be offered Tor sale
M ono con,d tell in advance who would be
the bidders. But the State of Maryland
would in no event allow the property to
pass into bands that would place Western
MARYLAND at the mercy ii transportation
monopoly. The legislative committee is IN
the nature cf committee TO lOok into the
affairs Of the caral. 1t is stated on what
appears to 90 good authority that project
is entertained looking TO the organization OF
ii Chesaprnkc and Ohio Canal Towing or
Transportation Company, under the man-
apemant e; She State board OF directors. 1t
is argued ;'iat TIE canal under the present
law can d., 80 other business cXcep! to pro.
vide the water way for thu Carrying OF
frcish, and collect tho tolls Tho plan pro-
posed is for the canal company to engage in
ihe towage and transportation business.
The Joint committee appointed yesterday
will probably draw bill to that eEd."

Of Missouri, issued at late hour last
night a proclamation relative to the rail-

merce of the state. After declining the re-
spective duties of the railroad company
and their employees the proclamation
continues:
WHEREFORE. /, John A. Marmaduke,
Governor OF the State Of Missouri, by vir-
tue of the authority in me vested, do
hereby call upon the Missouri Pacific
Railway Company and upon its officers
and agents and It's employees of every
grade. each in their several capacities 10
assist in resuming traffic OF all kinds in
the usual way on all railroad lines Oper-
ated by said company in Missouri; and |
warn all persons, whether they be en-
ployes or not, against interpOsing any OBJ
stacle whatever in the way OF said re-
sumption; and with firm reliance upon
the courage, good sense and law-abiding
spirit OF the public, hereby call upon all
good citizens to assist in carrying out the
purposes OF this proclamation. | also
pledge the whole power Of the State so far
as it may be lawfully welded by its chief

to restrain and punish all that may op.

AUSTIN, TEX, March 25.-Gov. Ireland
to-day issued the following proclamation:
WHEREAS, II has been made known to me
That disturbances. irregularities and viola
lions of the law are OF frequent occurrence
on various lines Of railroad in this state;
that trains conveying freight and passengers
are interfered with by persons having no con-
nectlon with said road; that bridges have
been burned, spikes nave been withdrawn,
and trains deraied, to the great delriment OF
commerce and travel, and the placing of life
IN great eril 1t is said that this condition
OF affairs on the railroad lines has been
Drought about by an organization known AS the
hnlghts OF Labor, and that the persons en-
gagged in these lawless deeds are members of
that order. Whether this is true or not, It is
hardly credltable that this order, or the best
element IN IL. ca countenance the violations
OF the law mentioned. Employees have I'M
questionable moral and legal right TO quit the
service Of their employers whenever
their employment Is not remunerAtive
ana satisfactory, provided such action does
not violate their contract but when they quit
ana sever their relations, IL Is the duty OF
those quitting to get out OF the way and leave
any others who may wish TO take the service
abandoned free TO do 70. Intimidation or in
terierence with persons desiring TO work Is
gross violation OF the gifts Of freemen and
cannot be tolerated in "A free government. Now,
therefore /. John Ireland, Governor OF Texas,
10 hereby issue tins, my proclamation, warn
ing All persons, whOeoever they may be, en-
gagged in any of said unlawful acts. that they
are entailin on themselves disast or and ruin,
and that offended and outraged justice may
sooner or later overtake and punish
them unless they promptly cease their
lawlessness. l do not undertake to say
who these lawless persona are, or who
10 right in the controversy, but violations
Of the law and disregard for the rights Of peo-
pie cannot be justified or excused. | appeal
70 the law abiding people throughout the
state to aid the civil officers In restoring order
and In executing the laws, and in disc0unte-
nancing IN every way possible this abnormal
condition. ! especially appeal to all civil ofli-
GERS, Judges Sherifls, cOnstables. and city Of
holals TO make use of all means given them by
the law to restore order, with the assurance
that every power Of the State, il lawfully in
vOked, Will be used TO enforce the laws.
JOHN IRELAND, Governor.
