Tor mithy years a -famous boom bee spanned the Susquehanna river at Wit. liamsport. The object of this devise is to catch and damn saw logs, cast into the stream, bigher up, and marked with the names or brands of the respective own ers thereof. It is a matter Of dispute whether this contrivance has promoted the common welfare of the men who are engaged in limbering on the upper waters of the stream. There is ndques. lion but it has proved a source of large profits to the owners of the boom. It has, moreover, contributed to swell the population and butmess importance of the town at which it is located by giving 1 it a practical monopoly of the =genius-, tare of lumber for the tributary country.; The owners of this boom are abrut dantly satisfied with its bearings upon their personal Interests. Indeed, they so pleased therewith that they wish to duplicate their advantages. To this end they have visited Harrisburg and instituted explorations, to see if they can get a bill through the two Houses and the Executive Chamber, authorizing them to construct a boom across the Allegheny river, at or near Freeport. Within a few months past we hav'e made several statements relative to the mimes of Tellable timber existing 16 the upper portions of the Allegheny Valley; of tor introduction of tanneries, affording a local and important demand for hemlock bark; and of the immediate expansion of the lumbering Interest con eequent thereon. 01 course, lumber dealers miderstand that timber cut while the sap Is up, so as to fallitate bark peeling will not last more than, half es long as Umber cut when the sip is down: but the enhanced value Of the bark will cause speedy and wide slashing ill the hemlock forests. It may reasonably be onjectuner, farthermore, that the gen eral destruction of - Which goes on steadily, without forethought as to the condition of on-coming generations, will, on the whole, enable the owners of deteriorated lember to obtain as much for it as under other circumstances they would reallze for stock of the soundest and most enduring description. But this is not to the present purpose. TheseWilliemsport from men want to monopolize the lumber traffic of the Al legheny, or, at least, to levy toll upon it, which the erection of a boom would certainly enable them to do. -It is of 1 Importance, therefore, to consider what I. the effect, of their contemplated enter prise would te on the .caw-mill interests above and on the course of navigation, ascending end descending, for ordinary annutercial perpretel. As to the mill owners above, it is pre sumedr they will give this subject prompt I oonsideration, and then act as efficiently I as shall seem to them for the best. They are not only hardi, but Intelligent, and may safely be left to take care of I their own. me, in their own way. .Con nested with them, more or less directly, I are the himber dealers here and down the Ohio. Their welfare is not so di rectly Involved, but theywill, doubtless, feel impelled to give attention to the proposition now brought forward. So far as relates to general commer cial trinaactions, it is of moment to note the natural differences between -the Sus quehanna and the Allegheny. The for mer is a broad and shallow stream, with a bedabounding in - protruding rocks. It has a descending navigation, at par denim- nelsons, when copious rains or '' dissolving snows swell the volume of ite 'waters.. But it has no ascending nevi gallon. Going up from Port Deposits - lo the Forks, at Iforthumberiand;therr are only hers and there pools of suffi cient depth - to float a light-draft steam boat. From Northumberland ;upwards, whether by, the North Fratihh to Ot sego Lake, or the West Brazieh up - tc the fastnesses of the Allegheny Henn tains, the same phenomennn constantly recurs. It may well be questioned GUI iirtirct accommodating water-craft. The Allegheny is navigable, from ite confluence with the Monongahela, up to Oil city; not, indeed, at all seasons 0 the year, but whenever the stream IP swollen,-which ordinarily happens for =ay weeks annually. This ascending navigation is of much value to this city Since the completion of the Allegheny Valley Railroad this ',slue is less than i Was before; bat it is still of too muel, coriaequence lobe sacrificed or imperiled. Of course, it will be averred that boom can be maintained, at a' sUitabh eddy, without impairing navigation; by this remains to be demonstrated. A boom is certain to be swept away by the preasnos of the current and of logs, ur. len en eddy exists tot ecch an extent at to produce still-water, or something Air thereto. This eddy must be large tura certain; or it will not nerve as a , reser vole for huge massesof timber. Consider a few other facts. The lam. bermes shove do not ask for this boom The dealers in lumber, here and below, do not ask for it. Hen, in various, call ings, interested in the navigation of the river, do not ask for it. A few men who are making money by the ownership of a boom on the Busquehmtna, sea a chance to double their gales by erecting a boom en the Allegheny. Is this a case it which the Legislature ought to interpost, its anlhority In order to' help a few tt• make fortunes, not by promoting the general welfare, and clearly at the ex pense of the many? Ruch a use of leg illative power would be a flagrant abuse of the Commonwealth's right of pre-em= bleat domain; and wcroasubject all whc might be concerned 111 It, from the Gov enter downwards, to serious aniread. verilon.
