ld0llarS' IN government DohoS. IDe de-
termination Of all questions relating tc
the route, termiai, The contract for con.
sirucrion, and the organization Of the as
soclaiion or corporation were left 10 the
President.
j This bill encountered strenuous oppo-
siion from the start. An amendment
was moved by Mr.. Broadhead, requiring
The survey OF single route. This
amendment was modified on the motion
Of Mr.. Chase, so as to require surveys
and explorations of such routes as the
President might think the public interest
required, by government engineers and
others employed for the purpose, and TO
provide for concert of action between The
government employees and the engineers
of private companies, and for the recep>
lion Of proposals for nsruciion TO be
laid before Congress at the next Session.
This amendment failed, and the bill,
after severe struggle, tailed also.
Mr.. Gwin then offered the same
amendment, further modified by Mr..
Chase so as TO provide for the division Of
the exploring force INTO as many parties
ms there were routes 10 be surveyed, re-
qnirng iha, the reports Of exploration
should be laid before Congress at the
mex, session, by ,be first Monday Of Fe-
bruary. The amendment, as offered by
Mr.. Cwin, was ruled oni Of order, be-
cause il did not come from standing
crmmiiiee.
Mr.. Chase then took his amendment,
and having consulted The committee on
Roads and Canals. and obtained their
sanc,ion, of red il himself, and. after a
pro'racted contest and serious danger OF
defeat by amendments which would
themselves have been rejected, it was
agreed 10 hv vote Of 81 10 II.
In The House, under a misapprehen-
sion. the valuable provisions permitting
engineers Of private companies to act in
concert with those OF The government,
and requiring the Secretary Of War 10
receive proposals for construction, were
stricken out; but The main features ofthe
amendment are now law, and will doubt
less constitute the Legislative initiative OF
the greatest work Of modern times.
Without designing 10 make any invldI-
Gus Determinations, il IS but jusi 10 Sens
aior Chase TO say, that upon the record
il appears that more is due TO his tact,
and dIscernmen! in offs ring the amend
ment which passed, in the proper way
and a, the proper time, ibnE 10 any
other person, and he, If any one, is en-
titled 10 a principle sbar, Of the credit,
which belorg 10 the last Congress for an
appropriation which wall be the means Of
moi only materially expediting the con-
siruc.ion Of the Pacific railroad, hut Of
commencing it in safe and judicious
way. II now remains for the President
10 discharge the duty imposed on him BY
this law, and we have no doubt he will
discharge il wisely. II SO, by February
next, we shall have surveys Of every
route which is at all feasible, and The
means Of determining which is 10 De pre-
fened.

Of The name Of JAMES w. TAyLoR, Esq,
in the Lima Argus. Tic writer only
does justice 20 Mr.. Taylor, whose name
he suggests, who is gentleman Of en-
larged mind and good qualifications for
tie position for which bis name is pre-
sented.
Mr.. Wright, Of Wood county, is pre-
senied by some as the candidate of the
Northwest for this position. This is
wrong. The Northwest has now by the
concession Of the Democracy, one Of the
Members of the Board Of Public Works,
the candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
ard for State Treasurer, as well as in
D. O. Morton, the appointment for U. S.
District Attorney. Under these ciTcum-
stances, il would not aid Mr.. Wrighl's
claims to press his name on mere local
considerations. If lie is found TO be the
most fiji and proper person presented for
nomination, let him be selected, but let
the selection be made with reference TO
fitness, without taking lacalily into ac-
count, and justice will be done 10 all:--

State Taxes for 1854.

By circular issued 10 County Audi>
tors, by the Auditor Of State, we learn
that the grand levy Of taxation for State
purposes, for the year 1853, will be as
follows:
For tho payment OF the prin-
cipal and interest OH the
public debt................ 2.....mills.
For general revenue pur-
poses, (being the current
expenses Of the Staie.).... 1"..mill.
For State Common School
and Library fund........"..2 2 lilo mills.
Total. 5 Ito mills,
The above levy, says the State Auditor,
entirely supercedes the ordinary School
levy by Couuiy Commissioners. Il is
provided by the 22d section Of the New
School Law, passed March IA, 1853, that
the Board Of Educationin any organized
township Of this State, may determine
what additional levy is necessary for
their wants; and If such levy is made
known By certificate in wiring 10 the
Auditor, before the first Monday in June,
il shall be his duty to make the required
assessment on the taxable properly liable
thereto.
When allowance is made for the School
levy heretofore made by the County
Commissioners, i. will be observed that
