been no appropriation for these Objects little less than

henson.
M. BUTLER. Very much like tesator who gives all
his properly away and has general rsdusry clause giving
his sheep Of his egatees Il is not. however,
with that view that made reference to it. But wish to say
that here Is one way and think the most dangerous way
Of passing bill through the Senate. That is to ascertain
by comparison and combination Of divers interests whe
ther the bill will pass not After it is ascer,ained gene
men may push this bill through in spite OF other consdera
TONS That s the situation Of this bill The Senator from
Kentucky has asked what has been done for the great valley
Of the Mississippi The Nile il is said was worshpPed as
god because ferzed and enriched the soil OF Egypt and
be that members worship the Mississippi shall
deny that the Mississippi demands and has demanded the
attention Of this country But when not only the interests OF
the Mississippi valley but different parts Of the United states
he consulted by works of this kind is the most danger
form in which you assa the public treasury Will
not let his remark pass unnoced so far as regards what
been done for the valley Of the Mississippi How many ra
roads have been provided for by appropriations from the pubic
lands think, sir there have been appropriations OF some
millions in that valley for that purpose cannot enumerat
them Some millions have been appropriated in Michigan
millions in Illinois for road from Chicago TO Mobile, and aisf
in Arkansas.
Mr.. BoRLAND. There have been none appropriated il
Arkansas. E.
Mr.. BUTLER. Though. the public lands were be sp
propriated for that purpose
Mr.. FELCH. None have been expended for Michigan.
MI. BUTLER. At the last session five millions were aP
proP'iaed to cut canal around the falls upon the lake
passed this body, and what has been done with canno
say But will answer for this much they have taken on
