Mr. Armstrong's defence of his action on the Sonthern Pennsylrania and Connellsviiie Railroad Bill. HARRISBCRG, March 26, 1866. EDITORS BEDFORD INQUIRER: In your issue of the 16th inst. appeared an article under the caption of ''Southern Penn sylvania and Connellsviiie Railroad" to which I wish to reply. I do not object to a full, free and thorough criticism of my record as a member of the House of Representatives; but do object to being made the subject of criti cism to build up the claims of others of my own party to foist them into office. The true version of the S. P. and C. R. R. question is this: The bill as it passed the House (and to which you devoted nearly a column) fixed three years for the commence ment of the road, but no time for its comple tion. At the time the bill passed those were the best terms that could possibly have been secured. I was dissatisfied, but learned prior to the passage of the bill that it would have been useless to have asked anything better — and therefore did not. My action on the bill in question, proceeded altogether from a sin cere desirejto favor, as best I could, the inter ests of my constituents, and although I felt that I was doing it but poorly and not as I wished to, I claim that it was the best that could then have been secured. The bill pass ed and was sent to the Senate where it be came the special property of Mr. Household er, if I am to judge from articles in your pa per and the Harr isburg Telegraph. What occurred in the Senate I quote from the Senate Journal of March 20th as it now appears in the hands of the State Printers: The bill as passed by the House was called up. First section agreed to. The second section was read as follows: See. 2. That so mnch of the said act incor porating the said Connellsviiie and Southern Pennsylvania railway company as limits the time for the construction of the main line of their road to three years from the passage thereof, be and the same is hereby repealed, and that the time for the commencement of the construction thereof shall be extended for three years from the passage of this act; and that said company shall have the same power, by branches or otherwise, to connect their road with any road incorporated by the State of Virginia, or West Virginia, to the same ex tent that they have now by law the right to connect their road with any road authorized "by the State of Maryland. Mr. Householder and Mr. Bigham moved to amend the section by striking out from line 1 to the word act in line 6: "That so mucn of the said act incorporating the said Coilnellsville and Southern Pennsylvania railway company as limits the time for the construction of the main line of their road to three years from the passage thereof, be and the same is hereby repealed, and that the time for the commencement of the construc tion thereof shall be exteneed for three years from the passage of this act." Not agreed to. Yeas 10. nays 17. Mr. Householder and Mr. Bigham moved to further amend by striking out in fourth and fifth lines from repealed to years inclu sive, and by inserting "extended for the pe riod of five years:" "Provided, thatportion of the main line between Mt. Dallas and Buffalo Run, in the county of Bedford, be completed within two years." Not agreed to. Mr. Hall and Mr. Connell moved to amend by in serting after the word "years" in the sth line, the words "and the time for its completion eight years." Agreed to. Mr. Householder and Mr. Bigham moved further to amend the section by adding to the end thereof a proviso as follows: "Provided, that at least twelve miles of the main line of said road shall be completed within three years from the passage of this act." Not agreed to. Yeas 9, nays 19. Mr. McConnau gby and Mr. Royer moved to strike out in the sth line the word three and insert the word two. Not agreed to. Yeas 11, Nays 17. The section was then agreed to. Mr. Householder and Mr. Graham then moved to go into committee of the whole for special amendment, as follows: "Provided, however, that said company shall put under contract at least five miles of said road within six months after the passage of this act, and complete the same within twelve months from the passage of the same, and shall put under contract at least five additional miles of said road within every successive six mo: lis and complete the same within every twelve months." Not agreed to. Yeas and nays not called for, but T am informed by Mr. Householder that only three or four voted for it. On the question shall the bill pass, the yeas were 21 and the nays were 5. Mr. Householder voting with the majority. The reader will observe that the only dif ference between the bill when it passed the House and when it passed the Senate, receiv ing Mr. Householders vote, was, the fixing of the time for the completion of the road to eight years. The bill as it passed the House and Senate gave the company three years to commence the construction of the road. On Thursday the 22d the Hon. John Cess na effected an arrangement with the parties interested and a reconsideration of the vote in the Senate was had, and the bill was amended so as to force the company to com mence the road in one year from the passage of the act. Justice requires me to say that neither Mr. Householder, Mr. Ross nor my self were in any way instrumental in bringing about the above arrangement. The bill, as amended, passed the House on Friday last. I might say, however, that the credit is claim ed to belong to Mr. Householder, as witness the following from the Tcleqraph (Johnson's organ) of March 24th: "When the bill was reported to the Senate, Senator Householder at once discovered its vital defects, in that it did not provide a defi nite period far the completion of the road. He accordingly had an amendment introdu ced, providing that the construction of the Connellsviile and South Pennsylvania rail road shall be commenced in one year from the passage of the act authorizing said road, and that it must be completed in eight years. Thus by the energy and vigilance of Senator Householder, the completion of this impor tant work has been secured." The above extract is made to order out of the whole cloth. The whole difficulty resolves itself into this: I did not fight the bill because after feeling the ground, I saw I would fail, while Mr. Householder fought and failed. Now. what is the difference, and why the at tack? Was it prompted by a belief of a want of fidelity in the Hoase, or was it intended to further political aspirations of others? What legislation for the district ever suffered in the hands of Mr. Ross or myself? Having promised my friends to secure the passage through the House of the bill to pay citizens of the border for commissary stores, Ac., furnished the militia, I did so, and am sorry to add that the bill has been for more than a month hanging in the Senate with but little prospect of passing as it left the flouse. Sev eral prominent citizens of our district having been lately looking np the bill, it may see light. As to iny colleague, Mr. Ross, I will say he is fully capable of defending himself, and as for myself, I will conclude by remarking that I cannot allow attacks such as that of your paper upon me, ('particularly when the design is so apparent in every line) to go by without some notice. I have always endeavored to do my duty as I understood it, and may have failed, but if so it has been no fault of mine. D. B. ARMSTRONG. Texas Correspondence. BELMONT, TEXAS, March J, 1866. This is a most beautiful day, Spring being full upon us. What few Peach trees are found here, are covered with bloom. The few husbandmen who do anything are alsoeu gaged in putting in their crops. The busiest of all are the feathered songsters, whose joy ous carols greet us everywhere. In fact it is such a day as we like to stroll by brook sides, in groves, or in fact any place, but to remain in doors. However, as I have not given you ail I had to say from this point, I will attempt to do so now. As to the staples of the coun try I think I have informed you that they are cotton and cattle, particularly the latter. The country is gently undulating, and immense heards everywhere cover the plains. The great wonder with me is, how they can exist at all. In conversation with some of the first cattle growers here, I learn that there is great danger of the destruction of the bus iness by overstocking, and that the grass is fast dying out, owing to the great number of cattle feeding upon it. In some places it is entirely tramped out. As to the business there is none that was more secure, or which paid a better per cent. The "growers" al ways (on cattle) are certain of 33J, as their gains. Sheep are still better reaching fre quently 100 per cent, per annum. To give you an idea of the business, a Mr. McFadden, living here, is the heaviest grow er, although there are a number of others nearly as large. He informs me that he had branded 3000 calves this Spring. There is little to do in the business after branding, as the cattle roam over the prairies until large enough for beef and bring on the average sls per head specie. As there is generally the opinions prevailing in the North, that Texas cattle are small or scrubby, I assure you it is not so, for larger cattle I have never seen. One thing is truly surprising here, that no person has been found with sufficient enter prise to go into the dairy business. "It is no use" is the cry here "the cows wont give a supply to warrant the trial." Ouejman here who protested as useless tho attempt, assert ing "that a Texas cow would not give a quart of milk per day," with almost the same breath assured mc that "he knew a lady of his acquaintance, who had a cow that gave four gallons of good milk per day but that the cow was fed with corn. So indolent have the people become, by the ease with which they can live, that they can't think of any thing so expensive as that of feeding corn to to cattle. Every pound of butter that is con sumed in Texas is of Northern manufaoture. And it is also true of the coru, Irish potatoes etc. They raise a yam,-or species of sweet potatoe, some of which I purchased at 75 cents per bushel, specie. Few other vegeta bles are raised here. I neglected to say that hogs are among the staples, as they abound everywhere, not nnfreqnently running wild in the immense forests bordering the river. They are of a poor breed, and 'tis said the natives not unfrequently resort to knotting their tales to keep them from depredating upon their neighbors gardens, but as the lat. ter commodity is a scarce article I am inclin ed to think the report slanderous. As to the town, it is much scattered, cov ering a large scope. The people seem to like plenty of elbow room, as the town was divided into 12 acre lots. The houses are small, one story buildings, and the article of paint entirely unknown. Few lots are fenced, notwithstandingthey have the best timber in the world. The soil is thin, yet with pains produces well. The only gardening one by the Germans. I-visited a very fine one two miles below this to-day. The motto here j seems to be —that "to work is to bo dis graced." At least, now that Spring, is upon us, Ino where see them planting, although surrounded by every facility. I occasionally call upon some of the "F. F.'B", and am soundly berated for assisting in freeing their negroes. (It is mostly by those who never owned one.) One lady (I'll call her such) asked me why we didn't bring down a cargo of our servant girls for theps, in exchange for their niggers, if we loved them so well. I must confess I was not a little chagrined at this, to think that people who live on nothing but corn and pork, and who, it they had all their|goods converted into money, would not purchase six months inde pendence for them; and yet they talk of using our tidy, intelligent and well behaved ser vant girls, who labor frequently, not of ne cessity, but of choice , and who, are infinate ly more capacitated to be independent. The idea, Messrs. Editors, that our girls should be used by these highfalutin, gum chewing, and snuff taking "ladies of creation," who never perhaps went to school a day, and who think Beumont the "hub of the universe," was so very rediculous thai I smiled not a little. Everything looking to the improvement of the colored race, is looked upon very unfa vorably, or, as intended to equalize them with the whites. I not think so, for I hope God will spare them from stopping at that point, and will prosper them, thereby setting an example to the poor, illiterate "white trash," which is more prevalent at this point than any place 1 have ever seen— occasioned doubtless by the fact that all the off-scourings of creation, made for the Neclies, when they could no longer b# tolerated by civilized society. Here Kidd and his pirate crew flourished, as did John A. Murrill and his confederates of a later day, and many of the present residents; can trace their origin to these or other equally flattering sources. , Is it to be wondered at that such a state Of things should exist upon the Neches. Mur ders, Linchings, Robberies, and Gambling seem still to be prevailing passions here. Should the troops be removed from this State I fear that life and property would be as insecure as ever it was during the period pre ceeding Texian annexation. We are endeav ing to estabtish an Union between the few Union men and Freedmen, which I trust I shall sec accomplished, that order inav be restored or maintained, should the troops leave. To show you the feeling existing I will say that we have in charge,a Mr. Good win and son who were turned over to us by the Sheriff of the County, who protested his inability to protect them from mob violence, several attempts being made at lynching, and all because these men were Union during the war, end at present, there are conflicting in terests in a ferry at this point, which make the Mass. Goodwin objectionable in the highest degree. The other interests are in the keep ing of several persons, who have controlled the irresponsible masses, at this point, du ring the past rebellion, and long anterior, making them the willing instruments, for every piece of damnable enterprise which base minds conjure up. I am sir, very respectfully your obedient servant. P. H, BQk,The Juniata Base Ball Club will hold its regular monthly meeting, on Monday, April 2nd.
