IT is proposed in Maryland to con-
struct a line Of railway along the tow
path of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
which, if carried out, would sig
Nifty the abandonment of that
canal as = waterway. THIS was
the history Of the James River and Ka-
nAwha Canal, one Of the most import
ant and costly public Improvements in
this country, and it would seem to be
the fate that in the end is likely to over
take every canal in the United States.
1t is true that the Erie Canal is still in
active operation, with every prospect
Just now Of continuing so, on account
of the enormous traffic moving from
the West to New York, which has long
taxed not only the capacity of the
canal, but also Of the great line of rail-
way that runs side by side with it near
" its whole length. This canal, how
ever, enjoys exceptional advantages,
which alone can sustain it in the
modern demand for dispatch, which
can only be furnished by steam or cleo
trio power.

Mr.. Peters, the Delegate from Camp
bell, on Thursday presented second
resolution in support Of the one
recently offered by HIM with
reference to the removal Of the
Capitol from Richmond TO Lynchburg,
10 winch we alluded editorially yester-
day. The second resolution is with a
view 20 authorize the council of the
city Of Lynchburg 10 borrow q sum Of
money not TO exceed 100000 for the
purpose Of building State hall, execu-
tive mansion and penitentiary in or
near that city.
1t has been affirmed on several coca
sions that the motive Of Mr.. Peters in
first advancing his proportion was sim
ply to psrpetrste a joke. but the pre-
sentation Of this second resolution, ex
pressed with serious eIsctness as TO tho
means Of carrying out the object in
view. would seem 10 contradict the gen
eral impression as to the real intention
Of the delegate from Campbell. II the
second resolution was, in spite Of APP
pearances. designed as the con-
tiuuation OF jest, we would
offer an emphatic protest against
such a form Of pleasantly, which
however innocent on the part Of Mr..
Peters, can, If pressed too far, reflect
very gravely upon the judgment and
Iense Of propriety Of the House, not to
the injury which it will do to
Mr.. Peters himself in the eyes Ct the pub
DC at large. We think that i: is due to

tie Commonwealth. that its interests
shall not be made the subject Of pro-
longed legislative joke.
II. on the other baud. the second res
olution Of Mr. Peters was offered, not
~ a jest, but in earnest, as we have lit
tie doubt that it was. then no excep-
ton can be taken TO its legislative pro-
priety, whatever may be thought Of it
from the standpoint of prscticability or
sxpediency. Mr. Peters has an un-
questionable right to offer resolution
looking TO the removal Of the State
Capitol from Richmond to Lynchburg,
even to Bristol or Covineson or Lees
