the Pacific Railroad hill.

greed to-s2 against 81.
Mr. DAVIS, Ind moved an smendment-propos-
ing instead Of three separate roads one grand Central
rosd commencing at some point on the western limits
OF Missouri Iowa, between 37th and 43d degree OF
north latituce the nearest and most practicable
route TO The Pacific wi b two branch roads-One d.
yerging from lO3d parallel west longitude in the d.
rec,ior OF Memphis Tennessee and the other 9iverg
ins from and running through Territories of the
United States To the western ehore Of Lake SUPERIOR

tons and be cheaper by one-half than what the bill

ment mt sanctioned 10y the Constitution.

Mr. McDOUGAL esd the gentleman who offered
u at amendment was ssstsDly engineer else he
would not have proposed b run the roads through the
great western rivers. TO insure the friends

vocates of the measure TO strike out the enac.iDg
clause now but 10 restore il when the Committee of

posing Of bills in Committee was ffaught with dan

previous question, he would find more opponents
than be anticipated
