The Central Railroad Bill.

By our Telcgruphic Dispatches Of Thursday
night it will b. seen that the Central Railroad
Bill has passed the Senate, with almost unani,
nous vote, but two votes against H. It provides
that the company shall pay 5 per cent, Of the
gross revenues Of the road, and tax Of three
fourths Of one per cent or which is the same
thing u miles on the dollar on the capita, stock
10 the state.
T'his's an amendment on Mr. Rantouls propo-
s';cn, which offered to pay seven per cent. Of the
proceeds and no tax on the capital
From the large vote with which the bill, as
amended, passed the Senate, we can reasonably
infer that it is acceptable to Mr. Rantoul
/ There is however another feature shout this
bill which would naturally draw a smile Of graft.
ication from every citizen Of Ottawa; and that
is, that the bill names points between the ter.
mini, and leaves a margin Of u miles on either
side Of the old survey, tor the company to run
the road This will give lhi. fair chance, for be.
( ing the point at whiyh lie road is to cross the
! Illinois river
j, IL also 10 run within five miles Of the north
east corner Of township No 81, north Of range ?
east Of the third principal meridian; which will
{ no doubt bring it to Bloomington, that point De
ing but few miles from that village.
! From Bloomington to this place, its generally
conceded, that the route is much better than from
there to Peru and "a the Rock Island and Chi
cago Road will be built between here and Peru
at any rate. there will be no particular induce
ment for the company TO cross at the termination
Of the canal, but adopt the route of which We
have long since spoken viz: to cross at this place
and run from here TO Lasale, on the west side OF
the river 1t is the only practicable route and
Mr. Rantoul is well aware of it lie therefore
insists upon having margin sufficiently large to
como here If he may deem it necessary.
