The Senate Railroad Bill

We publish below, the bill, as reported l. the Senate's committee on internal imnror, ment, and ordered to be printed. This Im makes disposition of the lands granted |. Congress to aid in the construction of tho r,: and Fulton railroad and branches. It is ro. concise, and, we have no doubt, we'll devised < carry out the provisions of the grant, sborl the General Assembly decide to turn over Il lands to the respective companies now chart. ed and organized to build the main line If v. {, and the two branches. The stockholders ;s most of these companies are citizens of o,, own State and this fact, in the iudgmont o many, will be an additional guarantee that tbs,, lands will be faithfully applied.
 In reading this bill, it will also be notico, that 20 miles of road must be built beforA oo land can vest in the company. The act q Congress differs from this bill in this. that f gives 20 miles of land, that is, 12O sections :, advonce of the building of 20 miles of the road This provision in the Senate bill, in our opin. ion, cures every defect in the act of Congress if there is any, and provides effectualIy agaDs the last and only objection that can or ought | be raised. We understand the companies ar willing to accept the grant with this proviso in 1t:

paid, men were employed that knew nothing about such work, and the consequence is, that the Land offices have been supplied with plats executed in the most wretched manner. That they are full of mistakes, we all know. There is and has been constant stream of applications at the Auditors office, since their delivery, for the correction of manifest and palpable errors
 The individuals who received the largest sums of money are, A. M. Woodruff, son of the former owner of the Gazette and John E. Knight, present laborious writer for that pa- per- These facts account for the extravaganza. It was a reward that should justly have been paid out of the editors own pocket and not out of the public treasure.
 Taking all together-the amount of work performed-the time required to perform it. the wretched character of its execution and the enormous sums paid for tive think it piece of business that displays a degree of reckless ness and corruption unparalleled in the history of this State.
 Will Danley reply to this and explain it-ol will he renew his offer to bet about It! We want none of his bets. The people of Arkan sas want information of the manner in which he has performed and redeemed the trust they confided to him when he was elected Auditor ! PS. We also learn that Auditor Danley failed to get the certificate of the Surveyor Ge neral, or to give his own, that these plats were correct Thus sent out to the different otfice unouthenticated they are of no more value thar so much worthless paper. Why did he refuse to certify each one of theM? Did his con science, in the last moment, revolt at the con summation of the fraud?
 What rich piece of business is this, to stanc recorded against the self-styled Guardian o the tax payers!"
