Back by pleasant paths of yore.

Tlie* Sonnti*. as in ('oininiltoi' of Hie
Whole, having uinlor i-onsiilrratioii

propriations for tin* ronstriH'.tioii, rr-
pair, completion ami preservation of
certain works on rivers anil harbors,
ami for other purposes—
Sir. BROWN said :
Sir. Piifsidknt: Yesterday l gave
notice of an amendment to the hill
now under consideration, on page 5,
line 03, referring to the appropria
tion for the harbor of Savannah, (in.
Tlie appropriation reported is $65,-
000. Mv motion was to strike out
$05,000" and insert “$100,000.” I re
spectfully ask the attention of (lie
Senate while I submit a few remarks
on this subject.
The port of Savannah is tlie second
cotton port in the Union. It lias a
large and growing commerce. Dur
ing l lie business season more than
one foreign steamer per day clears
from the port. It does a large por
tion of tbe business of Florida and
Alabama, to say nothing of that ol
(•eorgia, on account of the railroad
connections to that port from those
States, and it also does a great deal
of business with tlie West.
The railroad connections that have
been recently made and tlie exten
sions of*liiKs that have been complet
ed within a short time pait are such
that tlie line leading to Savannah is
looked to in the future as one of the
real competing lines for t lie busi
ness between the West and eastern
cities. As is very well known to tlie
Senate, there arc now four great
trunk lines of railway between tbe
West and tlie East, tlie Ualtimorc and
Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the New
York Central, and the Erie. They
extend into the West and have done
a large proportion of that business,
indeed almost all of it. It is well
known to Senators from tlie West
that those lilies with all their capaci
ty for transportation cannot carry the
productions that are offered for
Transportation. During flic past
winter there lias been frequently an
outcry there about delays of freight
on account of want of transportation.
There is a railroad line now pretty
well consolidated under llic control
of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road Company from the city of Si.
Louis, Missouri, to tlie i ily of Chat
tanooga, Tennessee. That corpora
tion controls that line. In connection
witli that is the Western anil Atlantic
Railroad of Georgia. That road is
an open highway under its charter
to continue its use for all the roads
that approach it, having a web of
five roads at the Chattanooga eml
and four at the Atlanta end. That,
then, extends the line from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta. Then we have tlie
Central Railroad to Savannah.
Then there is a line of steamers
controlled mainly hv tlie Central
Railroad that plies between liic port
of Savannah and New York. They
have already five steamers on the
line. They are building another
splendid steamer for it. Thev intend
to continue to increase the number
until they have a daily steamer be
tween Savannah and New York.
As I am informed, a careful esti
mate shows tlie line from St. Louis
to New York by way of Savannah,
on principles recognized by railroad
ami steamship men in prorating, is
seventy miles shorter than llu; line
by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Why, then, may it not become a com
petitor, and why may it not assume
tlie position of another great line for
tlie transportation of productions be
tween the East anil tin; West, to say
nothing of the South ?
Tlie port of Savannah, then, is a
National port. Tlie West is as much
interested as tlie Soitlh is in tin; port.
The roads I have mentioned extend
from tlie State of Missouri through
the States of Illinois. Indiana, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, a portion of Ala
bama, and through Georgia to I lie
coast. There are seven Stales that
arc directly interested in a line that
proposes to open a way for the pro
ductions of the great West to tlie
markets of tlie world through tlie
South, by the port of Savannah.
Rut Hint is not the only line. The
great city of Cincinnati lias lately
gone into tlie business of building a
railroad, having sat hack as long as
site could afford it behind Louisville
on account of tlie railroad systciTi,
and she lins expended nearly $18,IKK),-
000 in the construction of a grand-
trunk line from that city to Chatta
nooga, by which she cuts her way
through the mountains mid connects
with tlie Western and Atlantic road
and reaches tlie ocean at Savannah.
Certainly tlie people of that great
city and tlie people of that metropo
lis of Ohio thought there was need
of tliis outlet or they would not have
put nearly $20,000,000into it; indeed,
I am informed by the time it is com
pleted they will have to put enough
more in to make their investment
over $20,000,000.
There is a line from Chicago, by
way of Cincinnati, through to Chat
tanooga, Atlanta, ami Savannah, that
is, I believe, the shortest line across
from one point to the other. Then
there is another great line westward.
There is the Illinois Central Railroad,
running from Chicago to Cairo; then
the Chicago, St. Louis and New Or
leans road from there don >i to New
Orleans. Thai ero-ses the. Memphis
and Charleston rond at I .'l aud .lunc-
tion. and if you conic down with Il
linois freights to Grand Junction and
turn tlienee to Chattanooga, and then
over this route again In .Savannah,
you have iilunit as short a line as any
of llic others. The three are m ar
enough of one leuglii to constitute
competitors lor business.
You gentlemen of the West desire
to liave all the outlets for tlie great
productive region you occupy I lint
yon can possibly get. I have not. imw
the reports before me. for I liave oc
cupied a seat on this floor hilt a short
time and I am not so well posted mi
these points as some of jou Senators
who liave been hero longer; hut my
recollection is that the la-1 ll sea I year
shows a balance of trade in favor or
this country of about. $2511.01): 1.000—
Formerly the exchanges ol' the coun
try were conducted mainly on the
cotton and tobacco of the Smith and
flit) exports of New England.
There is a new elemenl, liowovcr,
introduced. In formal* days you
burned your corn in the West for
fuel because you had no market for
it; blit long lines of railroad have
extended into your midst, and the
steel rail connecting all tlie great
cities of tlie West, to say nothing of
tlie South, lias caused llu; condition
of tilings to cease, and you reap the
henelit of the achievement of Ibis
great result, nml the productions of
the West, the grain ami meat crops,
play an important part in making
this grand total in our favor in llu*
balance of trade. You then should
certainly encourage every outlet you
can for y Tin* productions. You have
a vast territory .there, one that will
support comfortably, properly culti
vated and properly improved, two
hundred millions of people. You
cannot rely on the outlets Hint you
now liave to the eastern cities. There
are reasons, too, why you should
have a southern outlet. The eastern
railroads are often blocked with
snow; Hie eastern rivers are often
blocked with ice. Wo have none of
that trouble over Hie line I mention.
While it is true that these railroads
are not all in as good condition prob
ably ns tlie four great eastern trunk
lines I liave mentioned, the necessary
stops arc being taken to put them in
condition very soon, and I tell you
they will come into the market ns a
competitor with tlie four great trunk
lines for a large proportion of the
products of tin; West, and llic exports
of grain and meat will come to Sa
vannah to go to New York and other
eastern cities and foreign ports.
Then why should we not improve
the harbor of Savannah? If there
be any difl'erenec the West is more
interested Hutu we, the estimate made
by the engineer and appended to the
Secretajy of War’s report for tlie
coming year is $120,320. Tlie actual
appropriation Hint the committee
have recommended and that passed
the House is $f>5,000, a long way lie-
low the estimate. Now, a word as
to tlie harbor itself.
Savannah, as von arc aware, is sit
uated some I wciitv miles above llu;
bar. The harbor is a splendid one.
as good ns any one on tin; Atlantic
const. The obstructions are not in
the bar; they arc in tlie channel of
the river after you get beyond Hie
bar. Tin: waters of the Savannah
River arc divided by an island and
flow down to the city, one half going
around Hie island next Hie city and
the other half in Rack River. Rack
River is tlie deeper of the two, and
there lias always been difficulty oil
Hint account in having the linrlmi* of
Sax'annnh properly improved. Tlie
engineers, however, within Hie Inst
few years have discovered the reme
dy for Ilia), ami they are doing, as I
understand, tlie proper work al Hie
upper end of the island to liiru Hie
current down tlie channel next Hie
cily.
Tlie result is already Hint where
fifteen or sixteen feet of water for
merly existed we now have nineteen
fuel,ami I am informed by tlie engi
neer that if the appropriation is suffi
cient to keep lip Hie work, within Hu;
next year or two it. can he brought
to twenty-one feel and ultimately
to twenty-three or twenty-four feet
of water in tlie channel. As Hie riv
er goes down, in one or two places,
it spreads below the city. Rv jetties
and sinking logs and brush in Hu;
side channel, they turn tlie water
back into Hie regular channel and
deepen Ihe channel. Then (lie pro
pellers going up and down the chan
nel are always stirring tlie mud up
and it passes off the more readily be
cause Hie entrance to the harbor is
such Hint there is nothing there to
obstruct it. When Hie dregs arc
stirred oven by the wheels of a pro
peller they pass out. As I am in
formed by Hie gentlemen who run
these steamships tlie channel is every
year deepening in that way.
Now, give iis ail appropriation of
$100,(KB). We nre not asking for tlie
full amount of $129,320, but we ask
tlie senate to give us $100,(XX). I
liave a letter from the engineer say
ing that to give less will he a great
mistake; they should liave that
amount; and I ask the Senate to make
tlie appropriation. It is not a local
affair; it is a national nllair, and I
heg my friends from Now I nglaml
to aid us in getting that amrunt at
least. You may have acted more
wisely than wc did in the past. I
belong to that old school ol demo
crats who were taught to go against
all appropriations tor internal iin
provements by the General Govern
ment. Yon went “for the old fln„
and an appropriation” before the
war; wc went for the old Hag and
Hie honors, and when the test came
wc found tin; appropriations a great
deal heavier than tlie honors. I liave
concluded now to abandon that pol
icy, to learn a lessen from von, and
while you have taken your part of
Hie appropriations ask you to givens
ours. I know you take a national
pride in Savannah as well ns other
cities of I tin Union. Now the Union
living restored perpetually, I think
you will give us at leusl that small
Ninuiint.
I have h 'en looking through this
bill. The Stale of Georgia gels by
Ihe hill as it now stands $220.500.—
We appropriate In all, with Hu:
amendments made to-day, 1 presume,
almost $II,(XMMXX). My Slate has a
territory of llfty-ciglit thousand
square miles; ns fine probably as
there is iu Hie Union: one of the
great cotton stales of the Union, and
not only licit, hut becoming fust one
of tlie eotton manufacturing states of
the Union. We nre adding each year
now about two good factories to the
number we already have. We in
tend to add more.
In former days liie race was who
should own most slaves, mid when a
uiuii made a thousand dollars he put
it in another negro. We have no
negroes to buy now, ami Hiougli I
stood lo Hie iiiMl it ill ion to llu* Iasi,
ami would have sacrificed my life, if
I knew myself, for it, 1 proclaim it
to-da v from the American Senate Ilia*
if hy turning over uiyTmiul 1 could
reinstall* il I would not do il. As we
have mi negroes to liny no longer,,
we are going to put our nioiiey into
factories ami other improvements,
and we iuieml to become rivals witli
you after awhile in that business.
Not only is Georgia a great cotton
stale anil hemming a cotton manu
facturing state, lint it is great ill oili
er resources. Wheal, corn,nml grass
row well there. In Hie fertile lands
of Upper Georgia, between Atlanta
and Tennessee, we make as line clov-
r as you ever raised ill Kcnlurky
or Illinois. We can raise all the
asses there. We have there a mag
nificent country ami a line climate.
l icit is not all. We have more
iron ore in tin: bosom of our Stale
than rests to-day in the bosom- of
Penust lvania and plenty ot coal Tor
all its uses.
This great Slate, poo** now it is
true, lint grand in her resources,
comes here and asks you for $100,000
to deepen tlie channel and make nav
igable (lie stream, for the twenty
miles above the bar. to her principal
ilv, so Hint not only her own produc
tions can be poured out through it,
hut so Hint the products of Tennessee,
Kentucky, Alabama anil tlie great
West can go out there. I think wc
have a rigid to il.
I am aware of Hie dilfiuilty of (lie
task I liave undertaken. Tlie river
nml harbor hill lcid been passed up
on hy the Commilleo on Commerce
before 1 came into the Senate. Tlie
■ommitlec lias reported only $65,000,
the amount as it passed Hie House of
Representatives, for Hie improvement
ol the harbor of Savannah. Ami I
am informed hy Hie honorable chair
man | M r Ransom ] licit the commit
tee feel bound lo do all they ran to
carry Hie hill as it came from the
oiiiluitlce. The reason given is Hint
if they permit one amendment in
creasing Hie appropriutions recom
mended by them there will lie no
end to site amendments nfi'ered, which
they fear will load down Hie bill anil
defeat its passage. I admit there is
some plausibility in this objection;
hut 1 think tlie reasons which exist
for the exception in favor of an in-
reasc at Savannah are so strong that
it ought to lie made an exception.
Mr. BLAINE. I liave not been in
the Senate much to-day; hut unless
there is a determined resistance to
adding anything at all to Hie hill ami
a purpose to keep it just ns Hie House
lias prescribed it with Hie little addi
tional amendments which the Com
mittee on Commerce have permitted,
it seems to me that Hie Senator from
Georgia has made a very strong case
and lias a-ked a very Little addition
and I confess for one Hint 1 am ex
tremely disposed to support it. I do
t want to run counter to anything
Hint may be a kind of an arrangement
iu the Senate ill regard to tlie hill;
but. it seems to me I shall vote for tlie
amendment.
After these remarks and some fur
ther discussion, tlie Senate adjourned
till eleven o’clock to-morrow morn-
g.
Junc2, 1SS0.
The Senate met pursuant to ad
journment; the amendment of Mr.
Brown being tlie unfinished busi
ness—
Mr. BROWN said:
Mr. 1’kksidknt : I wish to submit
only one or two remarks before Hie
vote is taken on my amendment. I
admit there is much force in Hie sug
gestion that (lie appropriations in the
hill are large, that the amounts arc
larger than liave been appropriated
for years. Tlie country is growing,
however, every year in population,
importance, wealth,energy,mid com
merce; Hie in 11 itx of population from
abroad is very large, and as popula
tion goes furtlior west and the Terri
tories arc settled up we may expect
that larger and larger appropriations
will become necessary each year; but
the wealth of the country will in
crease as the population Increases,
and it will he as easy to pay the
amounts appropriated hereafter as it
is to pay the amount asked for now.
The simple fact that the amount is
larger Ilian iu previous years is not
a sufficient reason why we should not
vote for it.
As I liave already slated, tlie har
bor of Savannah is one of national
importance. It is not only one of na
tional importance, hilt it is one where
a very large section of tlie Union
sends its productions out lo market.
Rut there is another consideration
ill favor of it. At tlie end of the war
wc had no representatives here. And
let me say to the Senator from Ken
tucky [Mr. Rkck] Hint we arc greatly
obliged to hi in for the kindness lie
showed iis in our distress. He then
stood hy us and our interests nnd was
our representative to some extent,
ami lie lias tlie gratitude and Hie af
fection of llic people of Georgia on
account of his stand-at lliut period
when we weru not aide to heip.our-
selvcs. At Hull ilnrk period Hie city
of Savannah made large appropria
tions from her own treasury. Issued
her own bonds, nml lias alino-t bank
rupted herself in lira debt she incurr
ed in dredging nnd cleaning out her
own liarlxlr. Tiff; military ojierations
bfllic civil war had closed the Inn*
hor, anil as wc could not get appro
priations from the General Govern
ment, and the Stale was not in a con
dition to help us at that time, Siivan-
nali herself stepped forward and did
nil in tier power lo open her own
harbor to tlie commerce of tlie world.
I think this is aeonsideralion entitled
to he weighed in Hu: decision of this
question. I am glad Charleston got
the appropriation she did ; I am glad
Mobile got hers—one on eaeli side of
ns—Cliarlcslnn $170,003, Mobile$125.-
000. Rut Savannah is surely entilled
to more than $65,000, and l do not
think it is fair to limit her lo Hint
amount.
Taking into consideration all that
is to In; done nml nil Hull we need for
the improvement of our const, I re-1
spectfnlly ask Senators lo waive tlie
objection ami vote for this amend-!
incut, which they admit ought to he
made, nml which they say they would
be willing to make if it were not for
lIn: fart that il will increase the hill
above tlie estimates of the committee.
It is said there may be other amend
ments offered lo the hill which ought
not to he made. Arc wc iiotcompc-
tent to decide between them ? Are we
not competent to say which ought to
pass and which ought not to puss? I
think every Senator on tliis floor will
net upon his ln;st judgment iu such
mailers, and will’vote for what lie"
thinks right.
Why should not tliis amendment
lie adopted ? Should my amendment
of admitted merit be rejected because
somebody else may oiler nil amend
ment Ihai. ought not lo he made? 1
think not. 1 ask Senators to discrim
inate carefully in this matter, to vole
for Hint which ought to he passed,
ami vote against (lint which ought
not to he passed. If something else
has actual merit besides llu: l>ill ns
reported hy Hie committee, vote for
it. If there is something offered that
I do not think has merit in it I will
not vote for it. I ntnnwarcof the great
difficulty of attempting In pass an
amendment over tlie opposition of llic
Committee on Commerce, who have
tlie loll in charge. Rut tin: merits of
Hiis amendment nre so obvious I trust
the Senate will sustain it notwith
standing the opposition of llic com
mittee, for whose opinions I liave Hie
most profound respect. I deeply re
gret Hint I had no opportunity to
carry this matter before Hu: commit
tee before they made their report.
As I was not here at the time it is
my misfortune, lint not my fault.
Mr. VOORI1EES. As to tlie spe
cific work under discussion, tlie Sen
ator from Georgia [Mr. Brown] last
evening presented it so ably, so clear
ly, and so enticingly to my mind, for I
learnt something from his talk, Hint
I made up my mind then that, if for
no other reason, ns a. compliment to
that able Senator, I should vote for
his proposition. I do not know Hint
I shall vole for any other proposed
amendment; I am inclined to think
I slin.II not.; lint it docs seem to mo
that the showing tlie Senator from
Georgia made of Hie great interests
converging al Savannah and its grant
importance ns a shipping port, thor
oughly justified him in asking that an
exception be made iu favor of the
amendment which lie oilers.
Noth.—The House of Representatives
included ill tlie hill $I0,(XM) for tlie harbor
of Brunswick, Georgia. Tlie committee
on commerce, in Hie Senate, pro|Misedau
amendment to strike it out of tin: hill.
Mr. Brown moved to disagree to tin:
amendment and retain the appropriation.
After considerable discussion tlie .Senate
disagreed to the amendment anil sustain
’d Senator Brown's motion and the :i|>-
