the northern route the central route
These Illinois snowdrfs have put the guietus TO the Pa

snow-drfs of open prairie and the inference is imme

chimera Now the latter deduction has been fully
taned the question still open to argument and should
be so summary disposed of without presena-
ton of the subject by parties forming different concu
sions
For one do consider the result of snow-storm in
Illinois sufficient for stating that the whole ques
ton Of railroad to the Pacific is resolved into the build
ing Of an extreme southern line for assuming that

A COURT FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF PRIVATE
CLAIMS.

Our observation OF the proceedings in Congress m
presses us more and strongly with the necessity
for the creation Of Judicial tribunal for the nvrs
tigaon of private claims against the government II We
are greatly mistaken in the sentiments OF members this
impression has been made with like force their minds
by the experience of the present session Such tribunal
is demanded well for the benefit Of valid claims for
the detection and defeat OF fraudulent Who does
not at once see that such claims those embraced in h
French poliaton bill and the bill for the relief Of claim
under the ninth article of the Florida treaty Of 1871
so complicated their facts and much nvovc
in intricate legal quesiions that il next to an impos
blty have them satisfactorily settled, except upon b
report OF enlightened judicial tribunal? We aads
these for the sake OF illustration. Ahoug
do not presume that the bill passed by the Smsh
and which Is pending in the House for the ru
ton OF such court, would furnish perfect emea
we are so well satisfied that it would greatly CORES
it tina, we should hail its passage public bless
ing We are glad to that the Hon. j. CLANCY Jon
is zeaously pressing this matter upon the attention Of Ii
House. and trust that he win perseverc until be Su
ceeds in securing It's favorable action
