''fh'NnF'hh", 'pluH'l 1910.
feel much pleasure in being able to inform
you that my expectations expressed in my line of
yesterday in relation TO the action of the house
upon the canal bill, have been realized. At ten
o'clock this morning the canal bill was taken up
aud ordered TO be engrossed and read third Time,
by vote of GS to IS and, in order that you and
our friends in Lasallc may know who voted for
and who against the bill, enclose you list of
the yeas and nays. You will see there was not
full house, but there were us many friends as
opponents of the bill among the absentees. The
bill ordered to DO cngrossed docs not dilor ma
teriaIly from the one forwarded you a few days
since. II provides, however, more amply for the
holders Of scrip and indebtedness, by rcserving
from the operations of the BILL in addition to the
debts due the canal fund, amounting to near
S6C0 600, payable in canal Indebtedness and scrip,
and the forfeited lands and lots all the lots which
have been rclinquishcd in Chicago and other pla-
ces, under the relief law passed two years ago.
These forfeited and relinquishcd lands and lots
are to he sold within three months after the bill
takes effect, and canal Indebtedness and scrip re.
ceived in payment for them. II il thought by all
here acquainted with the matter that these provi.
sions viii DO sufficient to absorb the whole do.
nestle canal debt. la addition to these proyi-
sons for this debt, the holders have the privilege
to subscribe to tho new loan, and thereby place
themselves upon the same footing with the sub.
scribng bond holders, should they choose to do
50. Were it possible to provide more amply for
the holders of this kind of canal Indebtedness than
we have, without defeating the great object OF
completing the canal, |, for one, would he OK.
lremely hanpy to do so. In maturing and pass
ing the canal bill to its present stage in the house,
the friends of it have had much difficulty 10 con.
tend with and many obstacles to surmount, which
have been thrown in their way by persons from
the immediate vicinity Of the canal who were &C.
tuaed by selfish interest a desire to destroy the
standing Of some with the people they have the
honor TO represent. But, thank heaven, feel
assured they will not be able to defeat the great
al,ject we are trying to accomplish viz, the com.
plction of the canal, nor dcbasc US in the cstima.

said, Byron entertained, that gin developed genius
Mr.. w. remarked:

the sublime anthem of the ocean--let him
gaze upon the infinite hosts Of the worlds

Over all these the glorious Spirit of
the Universe has unrolled his mighty
wings, and, beneath their awful shadow,
they send forth the music of eternity.

Nothing ofimportance has taken place in this
city since my line of yesterday. The canal bill
was not taken up in the senate to-day, as antic-
pated yesterday. Mr., Ryan has not been in his
seat to-day as it was not absolutely necessary
that he should, the canal bill not having been ta-
ken up. His health is, however, gradually i'm
proving.
The house has been occupied all day in dcbat-
ing single provision Of bill 10 amend the TO-
venue law, reported by the committee on finance
this morning, which provides that no land shall
be valued at less than 50 per acre. a motion to
strike out that feature Of the bill, upon which the
debate took place, prevailed, and, upon motion
to amend by inserting 81, the house adjourned.
