The Post Road Bill in the Kenale [Concluded from Yesterday. ) However, as the bridge is a great desid. eratum, and as we are desirous there of enjoying the advantages, not only of the bndge itself, but also of railroads, the riv ei may perhaps be usefully confined to hree hundred feet, and I would say not a toot less and for this reason : that even in daylight you could run closely be tiveentliese two piers, y o n must consider that these people are bound to do it at night; they are bound to do it i,? d ar£ ness : they arc bound to do it when they must approach within two or three hun died yards ot this passage before they can Icli exactly where they are; and it is much ...ore difficult to tell there you are on » river a thousand or fifteen hundred Wds Wide than most people imagine. There are no landmarks to guide vou Th«» on the shore. They u.ll yoT on what point of the river you are. buUlo not •r. ‘ °“ *.°w lar you are from either shore l iieu at night, it this bridge is to he con structed according to this proviso, with -i channel ol two hundred feet, 1 will ven ture to say it amounts to tying up that o eat artery ol commerce, one of tlie o' cutest ru ers upon earth, and it amounts o a disturbance of the whole coal and lumber trade ot the region above. J, a f- Ws , “ 0t th « of the people of • astern Pennsylvania aud Western Vir ginia and bastem Ohio, who have these coal fields and this lumber, limit affects the interests ol every man below who de pends on them lor a supply of these nee tisanes ol I’ie. Therefore 1 desire that this amendment V 1 * hr V e t,u, " lrfc ' l t° er “kail fie made, ami I am free to say that it is with some mis g.\ilies nl conscience lliat 1 even consent to that width when 1 consider the import ance 1,1 the interests which my people have at Make upon the head waters of that riv er- .'still, 1 think that if the bridge he properly iocnu-il, with that width ofsnan tney may get through without being much injured. J am almost free to say, too. that Midi would fie the feeling among the peo ple will, use that river and who have been wont to use it frum lime immemorial as a great public highway—that if it were-riven away lo a corporation, ami privileges'Yon lerred im that corporation which would uperate lo I heir detriment and to their loss, they would overthrow the structure at all hazards ; and therefore I think it is important that when we are dc-alini' with tudr vital interests aud when we are about to give away to u private corporation— true, an insLitution created for the public good. 1.-. it really alter all a private corpora tion, lor the purpose of making a profit lo tne private corporators—we should be ex tremely careful how far we extend the terms of this-grant. I I may be well to. note, Mr. President, that a railroad, AhanUi it is‘oflen called n highway, is in fact, neither a highway nor a road.' l/pon this great rirer 01l ineii can go with their boats and crafts, and go freely. They can start when ami where ami at what time they please. Thcv .-an' land anywhere oil the shores, if their craft and the water will admit of it. and nobmlv has a right in any wav to fetter or restrain it. lint il will l,c observed that this is I not the case with a railroad, it is not u highway : il is a machine : it is an engine, ft is no inure a highway than if it were ■! tram which would pick up a box at Wash ington and swing ii through the air to Ual "more. All its parts constitute but one whole. Hip vehicle which goes upon j. must be adapted to it ami made fur it, jusl lit.- same as one cog-wheel is made to run in another. This vehicle must |,c under the control of the corporation. It cannot start when it chooses : it cannot slop where it pleases : but il must run lo a fixed scneuiik : and to suj>iins<* nt||.*ru-jsn is to suppose that the ’win,!.- would „o into chan- and be useless u, body. It is not a highway, then, ' I say, Mr 1 resident, and is not -milled, a the hands ol ihe l.egislaiui-e— asking i-„ to give away the rights secured lo ihepc. pie, to all the people, in their iniegrilv that it should he put upon the I'ooiin-- - highway. " 1 would not 1)0 understood to depreciate the great value and tlie advantages ofa railway. At. the same time I would not allow myself to be so tar deluded by these advantages, either at present in enjoyment or prospective for the future, ns 'to -ive away tor them the rights of ihe meanest (attzen, ll tuey could he preserved ; ami 1 tliink by our law and by our policy we do endeavur. to preserve the rights even of the meanest individual. No railroad compa ny, by orunderthe eonstiutionofanv .State in the I nion that I know of can carry its road over a yard square ofa widow’s gar den without paying her lor it.. Private property is as saered before the march of tins great, improvement as though it were a I common cow path through the barrens. 1 herefore J would desire that while we al low these corporations all facilities for carrying their roads across the Ohio river the river itself shall be kept for the people intact, unobstructed and unimpeded us it has been since the discovery of the conti nent. I hope that this amendment will prevail, and that it will not be knocked down a foot; because I think it is now down to the very lowest possible figure at wniclito serve the trade of that river. Mr. WADIs. Mr. President, I should have much preferred that the Senator from 1 ennsylyania had permitted nte to take the usual course in this matter, because n* aV i e “L 0 " 1 ® amendments that I desired to oiler before we came to this main question, and 1 suppose the only question there is between us; but if I can make the Senate understand it, I do not know that it makes much difference where we begin. I premise by saying that it is neither the desire of myself nor of those whom I repre sent to affect seriously the navigation of the Ohio river, arid the Senator is right when he says that the people of Ohio are interested in this matter as much as those of Pennsylvania, Virginia or any other State. Most assuredly, upon the princi ples he has laid down, and they are' jnsff and true in that respect, the people of Ohio have as much interest in this struc ture as those of any other State; but the people of the State of Ohio, as represented in both branches, I believe, think that this structure will not be to their inconve nience, hut will be to the general advan iage. It is so represented to us. We go for the measure on the ground that it is one of great public utility and inno way detri mental either to tne people- Of Ohio or Pennsylvania, or any other State. Mr. President, I must come to the con clusion that the Senator 1 from Pennsylva nia is singular in the views he entertains m regard to thi3 question. In the first place, this bill went to a committee of die House of Representatives; they were fa vorable to it; it came before the House of Representatives, and the House passed the pul, and sent it to ns without any se nous opposition beirig made there; it went “fcve the proper cOttmiftee of th is body, who had it under consideration; andlrnow tng that it was an important measure, they “cert 3 "' what would be the cHcct of it, as well as they could, without sending for engineers and the like: but af ter consultation with many men wiio were well acquainted with the navigation, the | committee, I believe, were unanimously of; I opinion that the structure would not be injurious—l mean iu the position'in which ' t was first reported. Iff am wrong in this, some member of the committee will correct me. The committee took the opinions of sev ■ fra* gentlemen who seemed to Jiave a knowledge ol; this navigation, and who [were wellijualmed,in the view oftheeom- I “ lttee > to judge of the effect of t his mens !. C’ ?■ thelr J ,ld ßment was unanimous that this Structure would not seriously im peue the navigation of the Ohio river, their 13 ,ie e'Ji was ori gm 3 Hy passed by of ßepresentatives and sent to US , but. knowing that, the bill might meet with some contest here, we were anxious o relieve it from objection, so that we we might pass it with greater activity than we could otherwise' do. Gentlemen who represented in some degree the business men of 1 ittsburgh. and of some other places, came here for the purpose of look ing alter this measure, and they made a kind of agreement, so fares they could make it, with those interested in this strucutre, to concede .something on both sides over and above what the bill called tor: and my purpose was to offer au unitmiineiit to this bill upon the same point ot which the Senator complains, ex tending this draw seventy feet wider than was contemplated by the House of Iteiire seutatives, or by the committee id'the Sen ate, or hv any of those with whom they consulted. H’e believe timt that certainly must be satisfactory, because in onrhuJo ment, it went to the very extreme. Tim ...enator says yon can make a draw much wider than that and still have it strong enough t l , r ,| | ,, purposes ol the railroad. -Mr. U A Dh. 1 send a petition which I hold in my hand to the Sarrotarv. and n-i; I that it be read. 1 he Secretary read, as follows: i..- :h.

Hut I appeal to you, Senators, to sav whether this river shall remain a gulf be. tween the Hast and the West, the North nwl the South, forever impassable to the great improved mode of travelingnnd trans portation and commerce. Why, sir the ' policy is too narrow for the age in which 1 we live. Ido not believe the ingenuity of the Senator can bring this Senate to'de-1 ciare that no railroad shall ever cross this river. J remember very well that a few years ago it was complained by the peo pie of Pittsburgh that, the Wheeling hridtre was an obstruction. 1 remember that growing out of that controversy, one of the most gigantic law suits that was ever brought Indore a court, came before the Supreme Court here. For a while it drew the attention ol the whole country to it Ihey complained that the bridge was a nuisance, and they made it out to the sat faction of that court, and the structure was about being ordered to be abated as a nuisance: and what was done? Mr. COWAN. lam as much in favor of a proper bridge as anybody. I am as sensible of the advantages to be derived from railroad communication as anybody | and feel it, I think, quite as much. Hut sir, that is not the question; it is not the question whether communication between the East and the West, and the North and the South, shall be cut-off by this great gulf—the name given to the Ohio river; bnt the question is, whether this Senate cannot so amend the provisions of the bill before it as to enable the country to enioy both, and to enjoy both in their fullest plenitude. Now, sir, I also received from the city of Philadelphia a great many requests to favor a bill providing that a bridge might be thrown across Hie Ohio river at Steubenville,-and lam infavori of that; but lam very free to say that I received, those communications chiefly from railroad men -and men in railroad ioteresta., : I received a communication from degiring me to favor this measure; bnt I knew nothing of the measure until the Committee on the Post Oflice and Post Hoads reported it to this Senate. W hen 1 saw the hill as reported, f discovered that the people of Pennsylva nia a !* <l , tlie people most interested in this bill had not jheen consulted about it. A day or so aft«e the bill was reported I re ceived a copy »f the paper, which was read at the desk, purporting to come from the Pittsburgh Board of Trade. I immediate ly sat down and addressed the President of the Board: “Did„you gee the bill that you recommended to be passed ? Did you know anything about it / r ’ I wrote to sev eral other gentlemen of Western Penn sylvania. who are deeply interested in this thing, and asked them if they knew what the terms and provisions of this bill were! Now, sir. here is what Joseph Oil worth, the President of that Board of Trade, who signed the paper read at Hum!-si,-, writes to me: , the fth value ill my alui-nce from tk« V,l r \?li lor * tho m replying. Wo aro glad Uie bill was postponed, es the whole matter was misrepresented to our hoard. We are in lavor of the bridge being built at Steubeovillo so as not to obstruct navigation in the least.

Jones u Cuimnit tee to visit this city and lookafter the gen eral interests of their city and surround ings in the passage of the bill now before the Seuate fiir the erection of bridge* ove-- the Ohio river. V ' 1 had an interview with those gentlemen and the first thing I learned wus that Mr' \ on Bonnhorsl, instead of heiug the rep resentative of the people of Western Penn sylvania m this behalf, was himself a rail road man: »nd he verv frankly avowed to me that lie was the agent of the railroad rompany, and in order to make the best terms they eould, of course, in getting this privilege across the river. Mr. .Shinn is a very worthy gentleman, a lawyer of the city of Pittsburgh, and who.'l sup pose never rowed a skiff across the river in jm* course of his lift*. Ido not suppose In- pretends to know anything personally <d the navigation. He s'uid to ine, “This bill will puss : these railroad companies nave Such an influence that they will puss it through the Senate in spite of you : und ij we are not careful, or ask too much, jnvy will puss it tor a bridge with two hundred feet channel." Said I, “1 think yom feats are groundless. 1 think the ■Vcmite are not going In he influenced in legard la the Ohio river hy any such con snieraiiuiis." ■ Well," ■ said ‘ lie, ••take can- that in asking too much you do not get too Btlie.” Tins was the tear of ,Mr. >lllllll. Mr. Jones, the other member, d".-s not Mgn that compromise, ami would not sign it. Now, with regard to tlie members of the other House from IVonisvlvanin, they are all opposed to this bill, aiid are ail afraid it will get thrmicliin some wav so a-to in jure their constituents. it' passed tin other House wiihout their knowledge of "S "nporlane, : beeau.-e thi, j a thing of W Inch 11:1 men me not cognizant at the tune, and ot which all men do not know. 1 thin:; j inny suv fairly now for the peo pie ol_ Western Pennsylvania, that not „nc nut Ol rvrt v thousand of tile people inter.

I uni ol them : I was reared among them. I know their feelings, and views, and wishes and interests in this matter: nnd if all the railroad companies in theeouutrv, and all jhe elegant gentlemen who officiate on b»- linli of railroad companies, and who talk so loudly about the advantages to he r,in terred upon the country hy railroad com panies, were In usk me to abandon ilio interests of those men who use this high way. I would not abandon it: 1 could not abandon it. lam as desirnns of pleasing people as anybody else. I desire the ap probation of my eonstiiticnts ns much us anybody else. I desire to turther tin; in terests ol the country as much as iiiiyhudv else. Why should inot'J lint I will not sell away the rights of u great trade to a corporation,'especially when it is not nec essary. If it was an aosolute question whether you should have the river, or the bridge, or the railroad, then it would be time to hesitate; hut, sir, I contend that this bridge can he built and ought to he built; and 1 think if this Congress were to do its duty, it would never allow that high way to lie spanned hy any other than a bridge that would clearly and without any doubt leave the navigation of it ns free as it was before. But it is said that the people of Pitts burgh want this bridge, and it will shorten the travel between the Hast and tho West three hours. Pittsburgh is on the other side ot one half of the Ohio river at least from the side from which this bridge is to start on the south. Pittsburgh now can take the right bank of the Ohio river and she can reach with, ns I suppose, twenty miles greater distance, the same fioint that she would reach by keeping the eft bank of the river and crossing at Steu benville; so that I do not believe the com merce between the East and the West will be benefited in any case more than an hour by the construction of this bridge. Still, as I stated before, I am in favor of a bridge, hut I want it built in such a way as that the river may be left to the people who are interested in it—and there is an enormous trade there. The Monongahela river pours out, and the Ohio river Below, in Pennsylvania, sends forty million bush els of bituminous coal annually, and that sells at from ten to twelve and a half cents a bushel in the markets down below ; it goes down even to New Orleans, and it brings back into that country some four or five million dollars. _ The lumber trade of the Allegheny river is equally valuable. I have not said anything about the steam boat trade. I was not requested to speak particularly to that point, and know but very little about that trade. 1 know they made a desperate effort to have the Wheel ing bridge elevated' high enough to enable them to go under it with all their recent improvements in the way of chimneys ot long draft. Ninety feet, I believe, how ever, satisfies them now. The only alter ation upon the trade of this river which has been brought about by the railroads ia simply in this: that passengers go upon the railroads; formerly they went upon steamboats on the river, , and when they did so it was of veiygreat importancethat those boats should nave grist spead, anil to insure great speed, hign ehiinneya were necessary, in order to increase the premia of the column of air in the loraace, and make the draft heavy. But now, since passengers ride in railroad cars, great speed is not so necessary on the part of steamboats; they do not have such lone chimneys, and therefore ninety feet Ih2 lieve, will do for them. ’ WSai? cept by a single span of two or three h„n- was"? l t | apl ’ C! ; ed ‘° be errand there dred leet in width ?

What would mv honorable friend the Senator from Ohio do, I ask him, in a thick, dense log, such as he hus seen many a time, with a. boat above this bridge ? How much time would he have to adjust himself then to this narrow passage. In these foes you cannot see. ut the furthest fifty yards ahead of you. Again, m case of storm, these storms affect the direction of Ihe boat verv often much more than the best force you can put upon them. This wind will blow you upon these obstructions desiiite all the mam force you can put there. It’istoavoid this that those who are now rich enough to go in the trade, in that wav, use steam They use steam and haul these arks and barges by tugboats: but there are a great many, both in the coal and lumber trade who cannot do this; and the people below derive the benefit of it. If you make the river so that nobody can navigate it ex ceptthe man who is able to command I *teampower to guide him upon it and | help him to get through it, you stop off all thp supply yon now have from the mass of the people. A man in Western Pennsyl vania owns a tract of land; he is not larly in the coal trade; but in the winter I when he has got nothing else to do, he cannot work at his farm, he |. builds or buys a pair of boats and obtains spring high floods. <»»eBSe }iais liU boat 3 loaded and ready' to’gbofaowhtheriver. He isnot able even to employ the most skillful, pilots down The river. . This river is' a great and ; wide, one, and when the flood copies, if ‘you can keep anywhere ■ near the inirf% yon are safe.
