Never were politicians more thoroughly used

are from the Coast Survey charts The Rocky

There are now in this country probably
1000 miles of railroad in active operation,
and from 5000 to 5000 more in an advanced
stage of construction. This is, we think, a

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

proceeded to the bill to continue the improve.
ment of the harbor of Newark, N. j. 1t was
taken up and discussed for five hours by many
Senators, and then, without taking the ques.
ton upon it, they adjourned for want of q
quorum.
In the House, the bill to provide for the
settlement of the claims of the officers of the
Revolutionary Army, and of the widows and
orphan children of those who died in the ser
vice, was passed-yeas l06, nays 80.
They then took up the bill Of the House to
expedite the issuing of patents for confirmed
land claims in California, heretofore reported
from the Committee on the Judiciary with
amo udments, the question being on the motion
to recommit it to the Committee on the Judi.
ciary-
Mr.. Denver moved to amend the motion to
recommit so as to instruct the Committee on
the Judiciary to report substitute for the
bill, which he caused to be read from the
Clerks desk. He then entered into an argu.
ment againt the bill, declaring that there was
scarcely q man who had an honest claim to
land in California who asked any such legis-
lation as it proposed He thought that any
legislation in reference to this subject would
work great wrong, and that it would be wise
to let the matter stand as it is.
And then, after agreeing to postpone the
consideration of the Kansas contested dele.
gate election case until this morning, they re-
sumed the consideration Of the California land
claim bill, when Mr.. Marshall, of Kentucky,
gave notice of amendments which he intended
to submit, and replied to the argument of Mr..
Denver.

Ject be laid on the table; agreed to-yeas as,
