TIE GADsDEH TREATY.
1t Is thought In usually well informed poltica
circles that the administration are still quite unde
cided ~ to the propriety OF sending the Gadsden
treaty INTO the Senate. We apprehend that IL was
the subject of very earnest cabinet meeting yester
day, and also Of long interview between the Secre-
tary OF State and the Mexican minister. It's further
said anon the politicians, that the line neg ated
In he treaty differs widely from that which this gov
eminent essayed ~ obtain viii H. according to these
accounts started from III Paso by Grays line to the

Huagul, or Ysgui; thence following the centre of
said river to the gulfof California, az per Arrow
smiths map. As obtained by the Gadsden treaty,
this liz goes on Cookies route TO where ths one

taking in about twenty miles OF the gulf shore
whereon there is hsrbor. Such Is the sccoun. by
opponens OF tie treaty, who are mel her few far

LANDS FOR RAILROADS.
The excitement with reference TO the Nebraska
question by no means serves TO check the ardor OF
those "outside" Interested In obtaining grants Of
public lands for railroads. Most Of them-aud they
are numerous enough to three or four companies
OF United States infantry--sre laborng night and
day, and In all conceivable ways, to make fair YEA
