In the matter of opening Honeocfcetroet,
city or Pittsburgh.
A most extraordinary attempt -lias just been
mado to legislate away tho righto of some of my
olients. I desire to give to the Legislature and
the public a brief statement of the facts of this
unprecedented attempt to legislate away private
i here aud at Harrisburg this move*
meat was studiously concealed until too late to
be counteracted. 7 shall staK the facts publicly
believing thntdk.e/OOrTeetioifofthpse abuses will
come sooner or later.
At the .session of 1850 a number of petitions
wore presented, of which tho following in tho
handwriting of James S; Craft, Esq., who never
bod. any. connection with this project except that
of . a public spirited oitizen, is a specimen. I an
nex a few of the names to show that Wood Street
was largety represented, and many of those as
sessed were among the Petitioners.' '
PETITION
Signed by citizens of-Pittsburgh for an act to ; extend
Hancock street from Penn to Liberty streets, in
said City. •- •
To the Senate and House of Representatives, of the
; .Commonwcalthof Pennsylvania —in General As
sembly Met .••— ; : • . ;
The Memorial of the undersigned; citizens of
Pittshurghur owners of Real Estate therein, re
speetfully represents that, Owing to the uhfer
tnnato original Law of tho said City, no one of
its streets connects directly the Monongahola and
Allegheny Rivers,’ ns all of said stseots might
have done.,. This radical defect of intercommu
nication, although univeraally felt and deplored,
i» now beyond gcnoral remedy. But it so hap
pens, that near tho middld of tho City, and of
course where moat desirable, one thorough ave
nuo can yet bo perfected. Wood street commen-
I cing on tho extends to Liberty at.,
opposite Irwin’s Alloy, now buttwenty feet wide,
for two hundred and forty feot to Hancock Bfreet,
which, by the commendable liberality of the ad
jacent property,holders, has been opened as a
street All that is now ilooessary, is legislative
provision for opening, said alley, and thus Con
necting Wood and Hanoock streets and through 1
them both, said. Way., by nn almost direct , lino
across, and through the heart of said City, its
trade and business, j
They, therefore, pray your Honorable Bodies
I to pass an not authorizing tho Court of Quarter
i Sessions of Allegheny county to appoint seven
i disinterested persons to view the ground and re
port whether Irwin’s alloy, as above described,
should bo opened to the breadth of forty feet be
tween Penn and Liberty streets, and also to as
certain what damages , would be incurred thereby,
and assess them upon such properly as they may find
will Is benefilted by such improvement.

These petitions, the originate of which nrc
now in jny possession were presented in Senate.
Mnroh 4, 20 and 25, and . April 2, 1850. How
many more, may have been presented I cannot
say. The Lcgislatuyo on the Cth of April, 1850
passed the net prayed for, accompanied, how.
ever,,with the following proviso:—“that said
street shall not bo opened unless the said
viewers shall ascertain after a careful examina
tion that the benefits which will aocruo to prop,
erty intbo, vicinity of the street will Be fully
equal to the damages and costa which will ho
occasioned by the same.” Tho evident design of
this proviso was throw the responsibility from
the Legislature, which did not understand the
subject, *p the viewers, who were required to
fully examine and determine the sumo. These
viewers are admitted to bo seven of the moat in*
tolligent gentlemen in tho county, to wit: Gen,
J. K. Moorhead, Josiah King, Hon. Thomas M.
Howo, Hon. Wm. Porter, John Anderson, P.
Mulvany and Robert Watson. The whole matter
was before them about six weeks, and oil tho
parties were fully heard by.themselves and their
counsel. Their report was prepared with great
care—and though now said to contain numerous
errors, ablo counsel who reviewed it iii the Court
below and tho Bnpremo Court failed to convince
cither of thcßO tribunals of their existence, and
though a few individuals have always resisted
this matter with groat seal, yet, ns is shown in
tho opinion or the court below, the number who
remonstrated wore less than ouo-third in number
and a little over .one-fourth in value of all the
persona assessed. Throe-fourths In value and
two-thirds in number have always ncqnicscod iri
tins decision. It was hoped that this question
whon affirmed by tho Supremo Court was finally
. settled, especially as. the rights of third and tit.
ttrely innocent persons had become involved therein.
I Tho property appropriated ia tho opening of
Hancock street belonged to J. Tomlinson, and
[ other heirs of H.- F. Sohwoppe, and so far as
I these latter were concerned, t eat their ali. These
I ownora were all hostile to tho original legislation :
I becauso thoy saw it would embarrass'thom in the
I disposition of their property.
The estate of Sohwcppo is encumbered bv :
some SO,OOO of debts, and has been kept ont of
market for tho last 3 years by tho agitation of
the projeot. Intcrestnndcoslhavobeenaccumula
tiog. The proporty could only bo rented from
G months to 0 months at a time, and is note with
out a tenant, Mrs. Sehweppe and a large- family
of children are now without a dollar of income; and
dependent upon friends for their daity support.
John Irwin, of Allegheny, the trustee and ad
ministrator of Sohweppo’s estate, estimates tho
injury already done to tho estate at §2,000, and
if the matter cannot now be closed, may result
in tho entire destruction of their proporty, for no
one can be induced to rent or purohoso proper
ty liable to bo kioked and cuffed abont in this
manner. The-property of Mr. Tomlinson has
siifforod in a similar manner. The Rev. J. M.
Smith, since the oonGrmation of these Hancock
street proceedings, and on the faith of this Le
gislation, has purchased property on the corner
of Hancock and Penn streets; engaging to glvo'
$l,OOO beyond what ho would have done only
for theso proceedings. He now could have no
redress, .The entire property of J. F. Porry, at
the foot.ofHancock street, costing about $35,-
000, has since the final confirmation'of those
proceedings become vested in trustees for the
I benefit of creditors. How much . other proper-
I ty may havo changed hands in that visinity on
the faith of that legislation, I cannot" say—as I
I,speak only what I feel in regard to which Island
in tho relation of Consul. This alone has cost
its present owners about $60,000, and T esti
mated its liability to be effected for good and ill
by this legislation at not loss than $lO or $l2 -
000. Thus situated I hnd taken the precaution 1
; to speak personally to the Senator from this Dlg.
[ triot. I explained to him its present position'
I requested if the matter should bo agitated
| that I Bhould at tho earliost moment be informed
of the same. Ho not only promised to give me
tho unasked nisZZ
that I needuot fear any inteferenco with matters •'
pending m Court. This nseuranoe I commuS
cafed to my cheats, and on this we all S
if Jud g‘ tiien of our: surprise, when- abofit tei i
after the repealxtg aet had been signed &
the Governor, tec teamed for the first timethat
a section had been attached to an -
bill in tho Senate, and had passed that bodv'aad
day or two after the House, without a word
explanation designed to nullify the act of 1850
and all judicial proceedings under it. ’
; The njoyer iimseif—no one of the Senators or
Representatives or the Exeoutive, nnderstandine
the present position or bearing and effoot of this
legislation. Cptotho very.day thisbillwnsaign

iew Jrights,:new.interests, and now contracts,
baaedon tlio faith of former legislation, ratifieii

violated without hearing, without notice to' any
one of the several hundreds whose rights are, or
may be effeoted by this ropoal. I doubt if the
wildest decree of Louis Napoleon exceeds in' at
trocity this wanton disregard of private , rights.
This, however, I believe is not a solitary instance.:
I {Understand that’ within the - last forty-eight
hours,. the Sonate of Pennsylvania nnderathe
guize of construing a former act of Assembly,
have undertaken to legislate away the right 3
which onrCourts had, decided to bo vested in
• Matilda Elliot, a lunatie. A week einoe T saw
the machinery at work in the shape of outside
borers, designed' to extinguish poor Matilda's
But what business have widows, orphans
and lunatics to'have anyrights or. interests, un
less they have also money to employ borers to
protect them? ■
Anpndmnst in some way, be piit to this legis
lative interference, with cases pending in Court,-
or our titles in Pennsylvania wii not be worth
the parchment on which they are written. If
tolerated at all, a pretenqe will never be wanted
for interference, whenever the whim or caprice
of tho legislators: desires it. Especially now
when both brains and money have syslemised bo
ring into profession, ahd.the third: house is
moreiuffuential, than the first and second.
The opponents of the opening of Hancock st.,
have mainly relied Upon two objections:
1. That the assessments extend all: the wav
down Wood street.; But ldok atthe petitions for
“plaw, and the grounds on whioh they ask it?
Is it not avowedly that it will largely benefit the
business of that street? If the viewers erred, it
was in supposing that residents on Wood street
understood their own interests.
2. The assessing of other’s property.to pay the
damages. But this, T maintain, has been the
general law in Pittsburgh for the last twenty
yeara. Smoo tho opening of Market'alley and
Ferry streot, about twenty years since, "on this
principle, what strests oc alleys have been open
ed on any other? There is a general law appli
cable to mil the new Wards, substantially the
same authis.. Tho Select and Common Councils,
at their last meeting, passedinstruotions in favor
m o similar law. for several streets in the Fifth
Ward.. . But, iu addition to this, if the memoriais
nre exainmed. the names of a largo number of
those assessed will be found to have been peti
tioners. They, having asked this mode, to be
applied to their neighbors, ought not to com-
PJ“ n “( to its execution, it irampt on their own
Permit mo, ia conclusion, to. again say, tho
v question is no longer the polioy of the original
law-—new nghts.new interests and new con
tracts have been entered into on the faith of that
legislation.' Sixteen thousand dollars’ worth of
property have been wrested from the widow and
the orphans to open this street—largely depre
ciated in value, by being kicked and ended by
the two.parties., .Liens pending in Court have
been ruthlossly attempted to bo nullified by the
Legislature, without notice to any of .the parties
even without ever being publicly asked forf If ever
the policy of the original law was questionable,
orwrong, if you please, would not a thousand
times morn injury bo perpetrated by permitting
its repeal, in the manner it has been done* ' I
In speaking thus frankly, I have designed to
treat the Legislature with entire respect, believ
es that that body had been, outrageously im.
posed upon, and that not. even the mover,
much less tho members •generally/ understood
the position of this question. I ask, however,
as a simple act of justice of. that body, to rein
state this Hancock street act to the position
in which they originally found it. Then, if any
injustice hos been done, our conrts will be nlone
responsible, , Let not the Legislature go in
search of. Quixotic objects on which to exercise
their sympathy, over whioh the Constitution has
■given them no supervision or control.
