If the atticle in question was notintended :to operate upon the Legislature, but prepared for home consurtiption r no notice of it wouhl be ne cessary. The facility': with which that medium can be made uee of, to attack anything. in this 'region, however upright sad aterittadous, even for a very small qirid pro quo, is well known; end of .course Dune but thtise unacquainted with the motive of the writers considertheat worthy even a pasting remark. My object, however, is not to waste Words with the,mendacious contributors to that sheet,.and. I will iberefore proceed at once to place the eubject in its Prue, light Wore the public and the Legislature. . • I It is a notorious fact Mit the Mine Hill;and Schuylkill Haven It silroad his always been .con the best in the Region ; it was the first that laid down heavy iron rails, and so great were the given in that section of the Coal Field. that a great !nary Operator.; from other quarters, were attracted to its vicinity, and a large Section , of Coal hind thus brought into use which. under other circurifit mess, w uuld have remained a vast 'unfrequented 'wilderness. During the last sii or right years they have expended heavy sums innu• al y,in making various extensions and, relaying the rued in a permanent' manner ; and only-liwt year they made an expenditure of $150,000 in setts:Rutin motive power for horsepower, on ilvir road. This change was necessarily accom• partied with some delay and vexatious difficulties, —es all like dosages are ;—yet -it was 'comet plished with less delay than was encountered on other roads—for it is notorious that' - the increase of the, trade on this road last year was 113,000 tons, which is s greater increase than was made on any: other road in the Coal Region' of Schuyl kill Coulity; in the same space of time; Its capa city was sufficient to transport all the 'dual -the Reading Railroad could receive, from' their limited supply; &cars and engines, and quite as much as the Coal Market required. • While the rates of toll and motive power on the other flarbtouls in Schuylkill County are 3 cents per ton per' mile,—and on one, I believe, they amount to full 4 cents 7 .the charge on the. Mine Hill Railroad is only 23 cents per ton, the: IC I lowest rate charge'd ots any Railroad in the Coal Degton. Even if the Stockholders are now receiv ing a remuneration for the investment of - their capital, (for the first eight or ten years thiy re. eeived nothing) these facto prate - that they have not been regardless of the interests of the Opera tors in giving them cheaper facilities than 'are enjoyed by thole in other sections of the Region. But the opposition does not spring froM this cause —it has all been e gl:t . ndered and fostered by the Forest Irnprovemer t Company. a' Coal Mining Company in disguie , and which is daffy violating ifs charter. • This Company, whir is composed of persons residing in New York, received a charter from the Legislature of - Penbsylvania for the purpose I of making imprpeements in the Coal Region— thus conferring Corporate privileges upon citizens of other States to' make improvements within the" reach of Odividual euterprise, whileemr citizens are compelled to make their own improvements and open their; own mines in their individual capacity. For what purpose the Legislature committed such'ao outrage upon the riglffsof our. 'citizens, it is difficult to imagine;—but if I am not greatly mistaken iu " the signs of the times," it never can be renewed bythe same authority ! This Company, immediately after its organization, 'nattily made application to the Mine Hill Rail road CoMpany (Or permission to transport their Coal over that road by paying a small sum annu. ally. or, in-other words, at about ow...half : llia toll charged for Coal transported by individual Ope rators! • They resisted the application, !eon fur laying down a second track was then offered, procure r,! reduCtion of tolls in their favor this failed olio. Then a redaction of lireents Per, tds on all 'Coal over a certain amount was asked for—and -lids proposition was also declined:-the Mine [sill Itailr4l Company declaring that they could not make a partial redaction without mak ing 'a general one. To this the Forest Company, replied that they "did not wish to cancan the sugjcet of a general reduction !" In 1143 a reduction is favor of thu Forest Improvement ,Company was again applied Jfur. the whole subject was then' . submitted to a Committee of the Managers, w ho gave a final Report in sub- I stance, that the road was a public highway ; that they had heretofore always pursued an impartial course, and that however satisfied they might feel: as M the adt , antages that might accrue to ust:lves by adopting the proposition, they f constrained not to depart front the position they had always held—impartiality—and consequent ly Igged- leave to decline proposing any resolu tion that alight alter their position." This report was ananintously adopted by the Board. This, then, furnishes a key to all the hostility. to the West Brunch Railroad. Before these up plicatioiut were resisted : no fault was frond with the Company , —everything moved 'as smoothly as could be desired. That the Forest Improve- !nem Company;and its Agents, should therefore find fault with the West Branch Railroad C,fin- pany‘for failing to obtain from their hands what they had already obtained from the Reading Rail road Company, (a reduction of tolls in their favor, while individuals were to pay full rates) I am not at all surprised. It is naturall i But that in diridual oprrato6, Who Were thus shielded and protected front the rapaCity and grasping dispo sition of this Corporation, should now join with it in a crusade against those who honestly stood by them in.their time of need, is certainly unac countable! Nothing but . ignorance'of the move ments.of that CoMpany, can palliate their con duct. If they doubt these statements, let them call at the office of the Company, and they.may see the " written,eridence," as the writer of this article has seen -That the Reading Railroad Company (lilt' fault with the 3liue Hill Railroad Company is also very otttural. They are endeavoring to get control over all the Railroads in this Region, for the purpose of 'carrying grist to thek - tnill."„ They fidled in the attempt with the West Branch Itailroad=hence their hostility! They have un fortunately succeeded, to a certain extent, in one or two instances, much to the regret of all the opert,torsonithe routes, end ethers intereited. . . . be onlin - ttinate for the' individual Oita ratOra tho West Branch if either the Railroad or Canal ah3nld get control f that road. The trio policy of the Operator is to keep both of these improvements as distinct and separate - no pos4l)le - froTMthe Railroads in this Region.... Any eouiceping.iugyuueo would only render him • moie . depentient, awl 43 n necessary consequence. Isis business would be completely at 'the control. of Miters. . • The attack upon capitalists vho have invested money in our region, and by whiati our resources hove been developed, and • hrge population planted among our mountains. is quite character. al%clllll =zzrii! itors of the emporium.
