THOMAS L. WILSON,
Secretary.
The Contract for Carrying Passengers over the Phil
adelphia and Columbia Rail Road..
The Board of Canal Commissioners having had
under consideration, for more than a year, the
question of the propriety, and the expediency, of
assuming the control of the passenger travel over
the Philadelphia and Columbia Rail Road, unani
mously determined, on the 19th of May, in favor
of the measure. To enable them to carry out the
arrangement, fully and effectually, and with a view
to the best interests of the Commonwealth, they
entered into a contract with Messrs Btsionmix Sr.
DOCK (an old and well known transporting house)
to furnish the cars, and to superintend the trans
portation; without any control over the fare to
be received. For this service, they are to be paid
a stipulated price per passenger per mile.
An dttempt has been made to mislead the public
mind,hi relation to the course of the Board, by the
insertion of numerous anonymous communications
in the columns of the press of Philadelphia, sever
al of which it in now acknowledged were paid for
either by the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company, or
by its officers. To these misstatements, coming
before the people of the State in the manner in
which they did, no official reply could have been
expected; and it was not until after the appear
ance of the authorized publications of the Presi
dent and Board of Directors of the Company, that
it was deemed proper to anticipate the Annual Re
port to the Legislature, and to place the facts con
nected with the question at issue before the tax
payers of Pennsylvania, to whom strong appeals
have been made to join in denouncing the action
of the Board.
The objections which have been urged against
the Contract, entered into for the purpose of en
abling the Board to entry out the measure which
they had adopted, may be summed up as follows :
1. That no public notice was given to invite
competition, either to the Pennsylvania Rail Road
or to others.
2. That it does injustice to that Company, and
evinces a hostility to its interests.
3. That it drives off' competition, andtreates a
monopoly.
4. That it is a lease of the Road to individuals.
6. That the Canal Commissioners exceeded their
legal powers in employing persons to cam the
passengers.
6. That the arrangement will result in a loss to
the revenues of the Commonwealth.
These objections will be noticed in their order
as briefly as-is consistent with the subject.
1. It in true that no public notice was given, in
viting proposals for the performance of the service
to be required. That course the Board were fully
convinced, after mature deliberation, would neith
er subserve the comfbrt of travelers, nor the inter
ests of the Commonwealth. If proposals had been
invited, the Board would have been compelled
either to give the preference to the lowest bidder,
without any reference-to his business qualification
to discharge an important public duty, or, by al
lotting it to a bidder at a fair price, to have incur
red the obliquy which is now attempted to be cast
upon them by the officers of the Pennsylvania Rail
Road Company and their adherents. The lowest
bidder systein...has never worked well upon the
Public Improvements. Whenever it has been
adopted, it has almost invariably resulted in loss to
the Commonwealth, by the abandonment of the
work, after the beat portion of it has been done—
by the indisposition of the Legislature to refuse
the payment of the per centage retained to ensure
a fulfilment of the contract—and by the consequent
necessity of re-letting the unfinished portion of the
job, at prices much higher than would have been
originally required, keeping in view the relative
Mont of each item. If this be so in regard to the
construction of Canals or Rail Roads, where delays
are not always productive of great inconvenience.
it furnishes strong reasons against applying the
system to the carrying of passengers over a great
thoroughfare, where incapacity, or an abandon
ment of the contract, whould be productive of a
great loss of revenue, by interrupting the travel,
and driving it to other routes. True economy dic
tates, especially in a case like this, that, to secure
a prom stand faithful performance of the service
required, a fair remuneration should be given.—
The price to be paid to BINGHAM & Docz does not
go beyond that standard. They are compelled to
invest a large capital in a depot and the purchase
of cars, and the compensation to be received will
not be considered, by men acquainted with the bu
siness, as too high for the risk to be run, and the
duty to be performed.
But, although no public notice was given, the
fact that the board had the subject under consider
ation, was well known to the President and Super
intendent of the Pennsylvania Rail Road, and to
several gentlemen of well known business capaci
ty, who were desirous of obtaining the contract.—
The President of the Company acknowledged, in
February last, that he had been informed, that the
State proposed to assume the carrying of the pas
sengers over the road; and in reply to hie inquiry,
he was distinctly told by one of the Commissioners,
that several propositions relating to the passenger
business were before the Board, including one
from his own company. On another occasion,
when an officer of the company was before the
Board in relation to passenger tolls, he was in
formed that the Board had offers to carry passen
gore at five mills per mile. Hie reply was, that
"no responsible person would do it for that '
price." At the meeting held id Philadelphia in
May last, at which the present arrangement was
consummated, a proposition was received from the
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company, to reduce the
tolls to two cents, and giving to the Company the
privilege of charging two canto and six mills per
mile. When the Superintendent laid this proposi
tion before the Board, he was asked if the Compa
ny could not put the fare low6r at the proposed
rate el toll. lie replied that they could not. Ho
was then informed that the Board could get the
passengers carried on bettor terms. In a subse
quent conversation, the earns officer was distinctly
told by a member of the Board, that that was hie
last chance, and that it was necessary that he
should reduce his proposition to the lowest figure.
The first proposition was accordingly withdrawn,
and another substituted, reducing the fate of fare
to two cents and five and a half mills ger mile.—
When asked if this was the lowest offer, he replied
that it was. On the day atter this transaction, the
Superintendent acknowledged that he was aware
of the nature of the business before the Board.—
It will thus be seen that both of the officers of the
Company, who transacted their business with the
Canal Department, knew that the subject had been
for some time under consideration. If they failed
to communicate so important a fact to their Com
pany, if was a dereliction of duty for which tee
Canal Commissioners cannot be held responsible.
Should the Directors require further proof on this
point, it will be furnished at any moment.
2. What injustice is done to the Pennsylvania
Rail Road Company by the new arrangement 1—
Their pecuniary interests will not be injured by
it, for they acknowledge that the passenger buei
nese over the Philadelphia and Columbia Rail Road
has not been profitable. During the last spring,
their Superintendent laid before the Board an ab
stract of their paesenger receipts . and expenditures
over that road, whichshowed an actual loss. About
the same time, the present President of the. Com
pany, in reference to an intimation that Home
change was about to take place in carrying the
passengers, wrote that .4 If we could have a guar
antee that the work would be performed satisfacto
rily, it would be a matter of indifference to us who
done it, as it hoe not proved profitable." Where
then is the injustice 7 They have lost money by
carrying the passengers over the State Road. The
Board have adopted a mode of conveyance by
which the Company cannot-possibly lose en their
passengers carried over that road. If no injury, as
has been shown, can result to their pecuniary
Interests, where, then, are we to look for it r- Not
to any apprehended obstructions to be thrown in
the way of a prompt despatch of the passengers
intended for their dwn road. Any such apprehen
sion would be prbposterous. It is not only the
positive duty, but lit is the settled design of the
Canal Board, to a ird every possible comfort and
accommodation to assengers going to points west
ward of 'the Slat road, and to facilitate their
speedy transportation by every possible means.—
If that desigp should not be fully carried nut, it
can only result frdm obstructions thrown in the
way by the PennsAvania Rail Road Company.—
Advances have been made to their President to ar
range this part of Ole business, but so far those ad
vances have been treated with neglect. But, it is
said, that the Company purchased the can of the
old Eagle Line, and hence an injury will be sus
tained. To this there is a very simple and satis
factory reply, and That is ' that Messrs. BINGHAM &
Dock. made an offer to the Company to purchase,
on fair terms, theiti, cars running on the road, which
offer was not accented. If, therefore, they sustain
loss from this cause,:the fiult is theirs alone.
The allegation Oat: on this, or on any other occa
sion, the Board were actuated by feelings of hos
tility to the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company, is
devoid of the shadew of a faindation.lEvery favor,
every facility, which they had aright to expect, has
been granted to them. dome demands have been
made and refused. If these demands had been ac
cededito, the Boar would have been recreant to
the trust reposed i them by the people, by alloW
ing the revenues w ich should flow into the Treas
ury of the Commonwealth, to be diverted into the
coffere of a private' corporation. On all occasions
their aipplicationshave' been considered with a dis
position to mete out full justice to them, and, in no
instance, has any proper or expected courtesy been
withheld. The Board would fain. stop here, and
draw a curtain over the opposite picture. But the
improper manner in which this subject has been
dragged into public notice, demands that the whole
truth should be told. So tar from their friendly
disposition having' been met in a corresponding
spirit, the Board have been treated, in their busi
ness intercourse, with duplicity and arrogance by
the *sent President and Superintendent of the
Company. The fo mer is an avowed and open op
ponent of the avoidance of the Inclined Planes on
the Allegheny Portage Rail Road—an improvement
which every disinterested and candid mind admits
is of vital anportaece to the future interests of the
Commonwealth. 'Whether his opposition to that
improvement arises from the !het, that the State
Road will present',. line superior in curvature and
1
grade,,to that of N hick he has charge—or from a
desire to prevent the construction, and thereby
to collie the throw h Una to be withdrawn from
the State works, and thrown upon his own road, is
a 'natter of no gre t moment. If from the Ibriner,
he should rememb r that the line was open to both
parties—but, in orie case, there was no Altoona to
build up. If from the latter, it is only another evi
dence of the rapacity. of oflicers of corporations,
when their intermi conflict with those of the peo
ple at large. Anther . instance of the manner in
which the desire of the Board, to accommodate the
Company was met, must suffice. At the earnest
solicitation of the
Company, the Board kept the
ti fi
Allegheny Portage Rail Road open for transporta
tion, during the s spension of Navigation, on the
Canal last season, t a loss of $32,000. This loss
resulted, for the greater part, from the action of the
Company, who, atter having had the advantage of
the Winter transpOrtation over the Portage Road
extended to them!, turned round and refused the
transporters doing business over die State works,
the privilege of transporting goods over their road,
at a fair price. The consequence was—that the
freights of these transporters between Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, were sent by the way of Baltimore,
and by the Baltiniore and Ohio Rail Road. The
loss of revenue, to the shape of tolls, over the
Philadelphia and : olumbia and the Allegheny Port
age Rail" Roads, 14 this unwise and illiberal course
of Pennsylvan a Rail Road Company, amounted
to about 820,000.
. _
These facts go o show that there was cause for
hostility, but that any such feeling ever controlled
the action of the board, is totally unfounded. The
last annual repol of the President and Directors
effectually discredits any such allegation. Tho
Board do not view the Pennsylvania Railroad, if its
affairs 'are managed in a liberal and enlightened
spirit, hs a rival the State improvements, and .
they site always ready to afford to it all facilities not
deemed detrimental to the interests of the Canals
and Railroads under-their charge.
t. It is a fact +ell known to every one in the
least conversant with the transportation of passen
gers over the Pladelphia and Columbia Railroad,
that coppetion h e not existed, nor never can exist
in that business, for any length of time., The par
ties having the carrying of the mails, possess ad
vantages which friable them to drive off, or buy
out alll competitors, and the practical effect is, that
one party mon4olized the carrying trade. The
arrangement of the Board does not change the re
sult. If, as somelpersons who are interested in the
continuance of the old system contend, the Com
monwealth has do right to derive the largest rev
enues Ithat she can, from her own works, still, in
this matter, she Will only assume the position here
tofore 'occupied fly an association of a few individ
uals, or by a chattered company. Passenger trans
portatlon over this road has always been, in effect,
a monopoly. The charge therefore, that the Board
' are about to credte such a monopoly may answer
very well for thii use of political partizans; but,
when the travelling public and the tax-payers come
to fully underst t and, the one that the measure
adopted will rediice the fare and add to their com
forts and facilities in their transit over the road;
and the other, that much of the profits that have
heretofore gone! into the. pockets of a few, will
hereafter enure to the benefit of the public Treasu
ry, they will regard that charge as a phrenzieci ef
fort tol put down by the use of cLaptrapg, a meas
ure founded on reason, and justifi Loathe public
exigencies.
4. The allegation that the contract with Messrs.
BINGHAM & DOL is a lease of the road to those
gentlemen, is not sustained, either by the facts of
the case, or by the terms of the instrument. The
Commonwealth has assumed the entire control over
the conveyance of passengers. Instead of purcha
sing stock, and appointing numerous additional of:
ficers, she has contracted with Messrs. Brscaam
& Docx to furni'sh cars, passenger depot, and su
perintend the transportation. For the performance
of this specific service, they are to receive a spe
fic sum per mile on each passenger carried. The
quality: and number of cars employed, the manner
of conducting the business, the arrangement of the
the fare, are alli
hours of arrival and departure, and the fixing of
under the direction and control of
the Carql Boar . It will be-seen by a perusal of
the coil, of the annexed, that it is.no more
a leaseof the read, than the appointment of a Col
lector, 'or the alotment of a contract for the com-
Pletion of the North Branch Canal, would be a
ease of the collector's office, or of the Canal.
6. The legality of the action of the Canal Board
has been calledlin question. If the Board under
stand the constitution, they are bound to regard the
law aslconstrucited by the Supreme Court, to be
paramount to We, (Onions of the attornies employ
ed by 'n private (corporation. In December, 1842,
the then Board of Canal Commissioners entered in-
to a contract with CAMERON & WILSON for the car
rying of all . the passengers over this same road.—
Thu party who had previously, by their pecuniary
resources, enjoyed it monopoly of the passenger
trade, brought the case by mandamus before the
Supreme Court. After a very full and able argu
ment on both s des, the Court decided that the con
tract was legal r In their opinion delivered on that
occasion, they say, in relation to the contract, that
"The State did no more by becoming a party to it,
than farm its I right to carry ; and in framing the
bargain, it had l a right to consult its exclusive inter
est." This, then, is the law as laid down by the
highest judicial' tribunal of the Commonwealth.—
The Boardhatie not violated it in a single particu
lar. If they had the right which the court say
they have, to 1 6 farmr , out the carrying of passen.
gere, no sane mind would doubt their right to enter
into a contracij by which the State becomes herself
the carrier; Messrs. BINGHAM & DOCK being mere
ly contractors ko perform a specified service. But
it is unnecessary to argue the legality of the meas
ure. The Supreme Court has set that question at
rest. Nor is the sanction of the Legislature want
ing either negatively or positively. At the session
of 1843, the subject of the contract with CAMERON
& WILSON was referred to a select committee, of
the House of Representatives, the majority of
which made alreport, fully sustaining the action of
the Canal Commissioners. The House acquiesced
in the conclusions ofthat report, as no further pro
ceedings were had, which would not have been
the case, if :tliere had been any usurpation of pow
er, or infringement upon the rights of individuals.
The Allegheny Portage Railroad furnishes another
strong case in point. In 1843, the Canal Commis
sioners purchased cars without any previous speci
fic appropriation, and assumed the entire hominess
of carrying pdssengers over that road, and continu
ed to do so until April 24, 1851. The Legislature
never called 4 question the power of the Board to
do so. On the contrary, that body repeatedly sanc
tioned the mdasure by making appropriations for
the payinent of the expenses of passengers service,
and for the p4chase of care. This course of pol
icy was continued up to the 24th of April, and the
23d of,May, 1851, when a contract wag entered in-
"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1852.
to with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by
which the Commonwealth relinquished the right to
carry the passengers, and sold their stock of cars
to that Company, which is now enjoying, without
one word of complaint from their Board of direct
ors, or from any other quarter, the exclnsive right
to carry passengers over that road. These con
tracts are subjoined. There Is no substantial dif
ference between them and that with Bisonex
Docx, so far as relates to the carrying of passen,
gers. The Board under the circumstances of the
purchase of the State cars, would have felt it to be
their duty to protect the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, from any interference in that portion of
the carrying trade over the Portage Railroad. As
these facts are matters of public record, it seems
somewhat strange, that the Board should have been
subjected to the strictures of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and it officers, attornies, and
adherents.
6. So tar from the arrangement being productive
of loss to the Commonwealth, it will increase the
public revenue. Drawbacks are now allowed to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in Pittsburg,
Harrisburg and Baltimore passengers. Those for
Pittsburg and Harrisburg now diverge from the State
road at Dillerville. Hereafter they will be ta
ken to Columbia—making a difference in travel
of II miles, and a gain to the Commonwealth of
22 cents on each passenger. Taking the business
of last year as a criterion, these drawbacks (which
will hereafter be saved) and the 22 cents per pas
senger for the additional 11 miles, amount to $23,-
281, which sum will be a gain to the Treasury by
the adoption of the new arrangement. In this cal
culation no allowance is made for an increase of
travel. No one can doubt that that increase will
be very large when the lines of Railroads leading
from the west to Philadelphia shall have been com
pleted. Some idea may thus be formed of the ad
vantages the State will derive from the carrying of
passengers over the Philadelphia and Columbia
Railroad, when the fact is taken into consideration
that she will gain 49 cents on each Pittsburg pas
senger, and 30 cents on each passenger for Harris
burg and points west thereof, and east of Pittsburg,
which now go into the treasury of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company. The contract with Messrs.
firsottinz & Docx is for four years. During that
period, the gain to the State, on the business of the
last year alone will amount to $93,124. The in
crease of travel on the State road, in 1851 over
1850, was 22 per cent. hie, therefore, fair to pre
sume that the. annual increase for the next four
years will be 20 per cent. At this rate of increase,
the Commonwealth will gain by the adoption of the
new system, during the continuance of the con
tract, the sum of $150,000. In the present state
of thepublic finances, the Board surely need offer
no apology for acting upon the belief that this large
sum should justly enure to the Treasury of the peo
ple, and not be permitted to swell the receipts of
a private corporation.
The allegation that the loss will accrue by the
change in the item of emigrant tolls, stands on the
same footing with the numerous other misrepresen
tations with which the public ear has been abused.
The Board have under consideration a proposition
for a more equal distribution of the tare received
from emigrant travel than now exists, by which the
revenue from that source will be increased, But,
if no change should take place in this particular,
the tolls received by the State oh those emigrants
will be exactly the same under the new system as
under the old—the parties transoorting them after'
they leave the State road, being charged with the
cost of carriage over that road.
In a previous portion of this statement, it has
been shown that the officers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad have asserted that that company made no
profit from carrying passengers over the State road.
Messrs. BINGHAM & Dncg are to receive five mills
per mile on each passenger, as compensation in full
for the whole service to be performed by them, with
the exception of the conveyance of the mail. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company are permitted to
charge 25f mills per mile on each passenger. Af
ter the payment of State tolls, (drawsbacks deduct
ed) they have the following amounts left for profits
and transporting expenses :
On Pittsburg passengers, - - 9 3-10 mill per mile.
On Harrisburg passengers, - 6 6-10 44 r ,
On Baltimore passengers, - - 111 4 ,4,
On way passengers, - - - - 51 fi
. When it is considered that these are the rates
received by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
the compensation to be given by the State to the
contractors for the same service as is now render
ed by that company, will appear to be extremely
low. Besides, the contractors are hound to put
on none but the very best cars, and to afford every
possible comfort to passengers. They are erect
ing a splendid depot in Philadelphia, where the
passengers will get in and out of the cars under
cover, instead of being taken up or put down, as
was the case before this contract was entered into,
in an open public street, exposed to the inclemen
cy of the weather. The officers of the company
have asserted that this service could not be per
formed for five mills, and that no responsible per
sons could be found to do it at that price. The
contract affords indisputable proof that their judg
ment is not infallible.
The Board have thus, in as brief manner as the
subject would permit, presented a plain statement
of all the facts relative to their action in assuming
the control of carrying passengers over the State I
road, and to the several questions which have been
made a subject of controversy. They have made
no assertion which they are not prepared to prove
even in a court of justice. It is with great reluc
tance that they have made this explanation. But
they had no alternative. In the performance of
their duties they found that a portion of the profile
from the public improvements, which legitimately
belonged to the State Treasury, were diverted into
that of a private company. They determined to
correct the wrong. They.did so with a conscien
tious conviction of the propriety, the necessity,
and the legality of the measure. For this they
have been rudely assailed—their judgment ridicu
led, and their motives impugned. The columns of
the public press have teemed with false and ma
licious representations of their action and its ef
fects. 'Several of these misrepresentations it is
now acknowledged, if not actually written by the•
directors or officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, were paid for, either by the one or the
other. But these oft-repeated missiles shall not
deter the Board in the discharge of a high public
duty. They have adopted a measure which will
prove of great advantage to the Treasury of the
Commonwealth, and afford increased comforts to
travelers taking the Pennsylvania route. To that
measure they intend to adhere until some higher
authority than its interested assailants shall place
a veto upon it. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, under the present management, have made
up the issue—they have proclaimed, in effect, that
their rights over the public improvements are su
perior to those of the Commonwealth by which
they were constructed—that the revenues which
should properly be applied to relieve a heavily
burdened tax paying community should go into
their own private coffers—and they have appealed
to the people to sustain them in their position, and
in their denunciations of the Canal Board. Let
them abide the result. Conscious that they have
have acted for the best interest of their constitu
ents, and that the wisdom of the measure which
they have adopted will stand the test of the se
verest scrutiny, the Board will take no further pub
lic notice of any statements upon the subject ema
nating from the officers and directors of thq.Ponn
sylvania Railroad Company and their adherents.--
They have other and higher duties to engage their
attention, and, with this statement, they leave the
whole matter to the calm and candid consideration
of the people of Pennsylvania; with an abiding
confidence that the result of that deliberation wilt
not be prejudiced by the artful appeals of officers
of a private corporation which is now seeking to
destroy the revenues from the public works, by ap
propriating them to its own use.

Pearl Powder.
THE object of this Cosmetic is to harmonize and
i soften the character of the complexion. Being
an article entirely differentfrom and much superior
to 'ordinary powder, it requires a small quantity in
its application, and yet so identifies itself with the
natural appearance as to be imperceptible to the ni
cest observer. To those ladies particularly who
are subject to flushes of the face or neck, tosuch as
are exposed to habitual or occasional agitations,
whether nervous or otherwise, the Pearl Powder
affords harmless, effectual and most welcome relief;
it is also very cool and refreshing in warm weatner.
TOILET POWDER
The Toilet and the Nursery bear equal testimony'
to the value of this article; in both it is justly es.
teemed indispensable. To cool the surface of the
skin—to conceal the effect of agitation—to allay
chafing and irritation, are its functions. The pro
prietor directs his attention to secure purity and
sweetness in the selection of the ingredients as well
as neatness':and exactness in its preparations.
