LANDS FOR RAILROADS.

The SPEAKER announced the business in or
der TO be the motion TO refer 10 the Committee OF
the Whole on the state of the Union the Senate
bill heretofore reported from the Committee on
Public Lands, granting portion of public lands
to Wisconsin, in aid of the construction of rail-
road and branches in that State.
Mr.. BISSELL said the principle of granting
lands in aid Of public works, especially railroads,
was, he thought well settled in this House and
country, and that Congress and the Executive had
become convinced of the correctness ofthis policy.
He further spoke Of the benefits arising from SINH
lar grants heretofore made.
Mr.. CUTTING said he had been informed,
since the adjournment yesterday, that the road
proposed be built by the large donations of the
government lands exceeding one million six hun
dred thousand acres, as respects the branch road
from GAINESVILLE to Madison, win, for long dis
lance, close TO and in competition with rail-
road now in the course of construction from Mil
waukie 10 Madison, and thence TO the Mississip-
pi. He had been informed by respectable citizens
from Wisconsin, that the project contemplated by
this bill would run for distance at from forty 10
sixty miles in the immediate vicinity Of the Mil
waukie road. This road has been built by private
contributions. at great risk and by the most re-
markable and creditable exertions, and il was
wrong 10 appropriate the property Of the general
government in order TO build rival road lfihese
facts are erroneous, full and explicit explanation
should be given to the House.
Mr.. BISSELL said he had not informed himself
on that subject. His object was 10 vindicate the
policy on which the bill was framed,
Mr. DISNEY obtained the floor, but gave way TO
Mr. SHELTON, who replied at some length to
