Wo hare glafnced over the annual Reports, for the year 1853, of the Canal Commissioners, and of the Superlntcndants of the Columbia and Al legheny Portage Rail Roads ; they are of course interesting Documents, and contain much valu able information : it is our intention to copy, bom each of these reports, those portions likuly bo be of more special interest to oar readers. A passage in the Repcrt of the Canal Board, Id somewhat startling, and in our opinion calls lbr immediate notice at our hands we refer to thir discussion of the Allegheny Portage Road, portion of which we extract : ALLEGHENY PORTAGE RAILROAD. By reference to the report of the Superintendent dt the Allegheny Portage Railroad, it will be seen that the expenses of working the road, including motive power and repairs, for the fiscal j-ear which has just closed, amounted to the enormous cum of four hundred and ninety-two thousand Are hundred and fifty-two dollars. The reported expenses on this road for the year 1852, was four hundred and two thousand one hundred and ninety-five dollars. To this, however, must be added fifty-four thousand three hundred and thirty-three dollars which had not been reported by the former superintendent, but has since been discovered and reported by the officer nw in charge of the road, thus making a gross sum of four hundred and fifty-six thousand three hun dred and twenty-eight dollars as the expenses of 1852, ling an excess m 1853, over that of of thirty-six thousand two hundred and twenty four dollars. Could the Board assume that the amount expended in 1852 was all legitimate, there would be but little difficult- in demonstra ting that this excess was but the natural result of the increased travel and tonnage. Bat was the expenditure of 1 852 all proper ? This is the problem. Although the Board have not been able to detect any fraud, yet, from the very care less manner in which business has hitherto lcn transacted there, it is readily perceived bow easy It might bo to practice extensive frauds, and at the same timo the officer in charge of the road be Innocent of any corrupt motive. Take the arti cle of wood fur example, and it cannot be doubt ed but that the State has been imjosed upon to a large amount, notwithstanding the payments have generally been made upon the certificates of of the inspector appointed for that purpose; the only exception to this rale being a few thousand cords which were taken np by other .officers of the read, i:i the absence of the inspector. The conclusion therefore is irresistible, that either fraudulent certificates must have been issued, or the officers deceived by the parties furnishing the wood. The Board incline to the latter opinion. "Who can believe that seventy thousand three hundred and fifty dollars worth of wood could be consumed in the transportation of a given amount of tonnage and number of passengers, over thirty-six niLies of this road, when it required but sixty-seven thousand six hundred and eightv eight dollars worth to transport, at least an equal amount, over eighty -One miles of the Ph'aJil phia and Columbia road ? The proposition is absurd. . Without being able, therefore, to fix upon any parties a specific charge ef fraud in this rtspect. Yet a regard for truth and candor constrains the Board to express the opinion, that at least fortv thousand d .Hars have been paid out for wood, within the two past years, for which not one dol lar's advautsgs has accrued to the Common wealth. Besides this, the superintendent assures the Hoard, verbally, that he can show, by the most indubitable evidence, that be paid out on bills of wood, lumber, oil and other material, couneeted with the motive power and repair departments, at leait sixty thousand dollars, which properly belonged to the expenditure of 1852, as they had 1 been actually used in that year, but which he re ported in his expenses of 1653. From the repre sentations made, and the evidence adduced, the Board incline to credit the statement. If this be bo, why then it is clear that the expenses of ioo, instead ot being i3s, were much greater than 1853. It has long been the fashion to denounce the Portage Road, and everything connected with it ; this ha been a favorite theme with disappointed and worn out politicians ; efforts have been un ceasingly made to disgrace, or injure the reputa tion of every officer under whose charge the road of rate years has been placed ; they have been charged wita dishonesty, fraud, even with theft-: these stories have been repeated, the changes have been rung so many ways, that public inter est in them was beginning to wane the excite ment was dying away, until the Canal Board of Pennsylvania have seen fit to sing a new song to an old tune, and fairly turn the tables, by charging a whole community with fraud. W would look upon the matter as the richest joko that has come to our knowledge, were it not that the charge is preforrcd in all seriousness, and with a specious pomp of Ixgic, calculated to provoke other feelings than those of mirth. In the extract copied above, the Board make no specijic charge against 'any individuals, but what they say amounts to a general charge against those persons engaged in furnishing wood i .1.. r VT t ot cftiztns in tho meet portions township tn onr f county are engaged in supplying of wood for the use of the Portage Rail Road as this busi ness cives cmplovmeut to many honest, hard working men, we may say that onr community i are, by t'u's sweeping accusation of the Canal Beard, implicated m the charge ot h aud. It is due to our citizens, and to the Canal Board themselves, that the charge thus seriously made, should cither be proven or be withdrawn ; at all i events, an examination into it's truth is t f the most urgent necessity; it is due to them, it is their right, that a most rigid scrutiny be institu- I ted. that the facts and fgurts be product. d, ond let the fault rest where it justly belongs. In this regard, we arc happy to state that our immediate representative, Mr. Collins, lias shown that he was actuated by the proper sentiments, and that he fully understood the furling of his constituents : in the debate on the resolution of fered by Mr. Stewart of Butler, that the Canal Board be directed to furnish the papers and facts in relation to the alleged fraud upon tho Alleghe ny Portage Rail Road," Mr. Collins concurred; and told the House " that Le did not ask as a fa vor, the passage of the Resolution, but demanded it as a ridit justly due to his constituents, against whom a charge cf fraud was directly made." Arc repeat, that an investigation must be had: u rfir.;ntJ, to thoroughly sift these transactions ; the chargo is too serious f jr a whole community to lie tinder ; we do hope that the matter w ill be immediately acted upon, and therefore fchall not at this time, tr.ke up and review in detail, this very extensive report ; wc do not wish to meet assertion with assertion, but proof with proof. We think that the Board in thtir report have laid themselves open to criticism. Take the fol lowing : Take the article of wood for example, and it cannot bo doubted but that the Mate has Utn imposed upon to a large amount, notwithstand ing the payments have generally been lnade upon the certificates of the inspector appoiuted for that purpose, the only exception to this rule being a few thousand cords which were taken up by oth er oCiccrs of the road, in the absence of the inspector.- The conclusion is therefore irresistible, that either fraudulent certificates must have been issued, or the officers deceived by the par ties furnishing the wood. The Board incline to the latter opinion." Now how does this conclusion come to be " ir resistible ?"' The Board have offered no reason ing from which an "irresistible conclusion" could be derived : they merely mention that a state of things existed under which fraud might be jwsm Ue, and it is from this mere mention that they alone draw the " conclusion." Further, they ask, " Who can believe that seventy thousand three hundred and fifty dollars worth of wood could be consumed in the trans portation of a given amount of tonnage and num ber f passengers, ov-r thirty-six miles of this road, when it required but sixtj--seven thousaud six hundred and eighty-eight dollars worth to transport, at least an equal amount, over eighty one miles of the Columbia Road." Now, we ask, can it be actually possible that the Canal Board, are ignorant of the fact, or could have forgotten it, that the Superintendent of their favorite Columbia Road, in his detailed statement of the Motive Power Expenses for the year 1553, expressly states, that, for 'the article of fuel, in addition to 'j7,CS8 for cord "wcod, he paid out ?32?211 for bituminous coal, making a total of 699,899 required for fuel on that road for 1853 : how could they, wc ask overlook this fact with the figures before them ? We are satisfied that upon an investigation of the relative merits ef the Columbia and Portage Roads, the latter would have nothing to fear, much as the Canal Board seem inclined to favor the former ; now in this instance, they put the figures for fuel used on their jef, 532,211 too low, and thof;e for the Portage at the very highest notch, and on the next page, admit that the Dis bursing officer, on the Portage, during the year 1553, paid out SoO.OOrt 0n bills of wood, lumber oil, &c, which fif ritjht belonged to the expendi ture for 1852: bow much of this is chargeable to to the wood account, they do not say, but assu ming 15,000 of it which is certainly very mod erate, as chargeable to that account, and there remains but $55,000. It is to be regretted that the Board have dis played such indecent Ka-te in getting up these charges ; and we regret exceedingly to be com pelled to make these animadversions upon a Dem ocratic Board of Canal Commissioners, but were they " 70,000" times Democratic, it would be cur duty, and we cannot shrink from the perfor mance ot it. Our citizens cannot sufTor any man or set cf men, to make political capital at their expense; this bluff game will not win, there must be an investigation, and the Canal Euard must show thcif hands; if they can beat us,' we will at least have the pleasure of seeing what they do it with.
