The intelligence from Annapolis to the effect
that the canal cases would not be considered by
the'court OF appeals until late in the present
term is quite disappointment to those Of our
people interested in the restoration of the
canal or its sale to e company that will construct
a railroad. The decree Of Judge Alvey provid-
ing that the canal shall be put in navigable
order by next spring does not appear to have
much effect on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, the present holders of the work as
with the exception of limited number of
hands said to be at work between Cumberland
and Williamsport not lick is being struck at
any other point. Along the line in this county,
where by far the heaviest repairing is to be
done, no sign Of even commencing the work is
shown. No doubt this state of affairs exactly
suits the interests of the Baltimore and Ohio,
but is death to the interests of all others inter-
ested in transportation facilities in this part
OF the state. 8. A. NJ.
