The Pacific Railroad Bill reported from the
Select Committee Of the Senate on that subject
avoids some of the objections which have been
urged against the measure heretofore. The ter
mini and general route of the road are to be
left to the contractor whose proposals are to be
considered by board, consisting ofthe secreta-
ry of War the Secretary Of the Interior and the
Postmaster General The contractors are to
have liberal grant of land on each side of the
road, in alternate sections, and a grant of mon
ey to the limited extent OF fifteen millions in
sums Of two and a half millions upon the compile
ton of each hundred miles of the road.
The contractors are to propose terms for con-
veying the mail, transporting troops, supplies
&C., for the Government, and to propose the
time when they will surrender the road and its
appurtenances to the general government, to be
transferred to the State within which it may
lie. Should the bill pass offers will no doubt be
made for the contract, but the work will proba-
bly, fall upon the hands ofthe Government in the

& There is great clamor among the Nebraska
organs, because few fanatics at the North, for
whom nobody is responsible, have spoken aginst
the Union. But the constant threats of dissolu-
ton which come from the Southland which
have come for the last thirty years,-are passed
by unnoticed and unheeded-as things perfectly
innocent. The Richmond Enquirer has recent
ly promulgated the following ultimatum, to
which we call the special attention of those who
are so fearfully exercised at the outbreaks of the
half-crazy Garrisons: g
1.-THE utmost the South asks, and less she will
not take, from the Federal Government, is that
her. institutions, her social forms, her property
and her people shall be protected at home, ana
protected in extending themselves into the com
mon territories of the Union, Just as are the in
situations, the social forms, the property and the
people of the North. 1t is well that we should
understand one another, for on this issue, the
next President is to be elected, and the Union
to be preserved or dissolved"
Read this again: Our social forms and our
property must be protected at home and pro-
tected in extending themselves into the COM
mon territories, or we shall dissolve the Union.
We trust the time is in the past when free
men will be frightened from their duty by such
threats. s.szsst e So g

remarks: tt9i
{ There is one circumstance connected with Ma
poleon's family, which historians have not yet
observed, but which is well worth mentioning =
Napoleon the Great set. aside bis own best friend
and counsellor, Josephine, to obtain an heir to
the throne Of France He married Princess Of
Austria, and by her he had son. That birth,
was the eliminating point Of his power, and bis
dignity. From thence he did nothing but de-
scend. BE died in exiie-his son also. Who
succeeded 10 his name, his fame, his power . The
child of Hortense, who was the child Of Jose
phine! In the person Of the Emperor Of the
French, We find not the offspring Of Napoleon
the Great, but the offspring Of his discarded
wife. What an illustration Of the truth of the
adage That il is man who proposes, but God
who dispcsesln . 3

Washington April TO-
In April, 1852, man named Wells-was con-
victed of murder, in this city, and sentenced to
be hanged. He was pardoned by President Fill
more with the condition that he be imprisoned
for life. A year ago an application was made to
the city court for his discharge under writ Of
hebeas corpus. The prisoners Counsel assumed
the broad ground the the pardon was absolute
and the condition void.
The court refused the application and remand
ed Wells to prison. The case came before the
Supreme Court on appeal. Justice Cation deliv-
cred an opinion this a. M, sustaining the decis-
ion of the inferior court, and saying the condi-
ton of the pardon was not exercise of q new
power but substitution of one punishment for
another and arguing that the pardoning power
must be understood as it existed in England and
these Colonies prior to the formation Of the con-
stitution. 81 3ss .s
Justice Ccrtiss and Campbell concuring we're
understood as assuming that writes Of error in
criminal cases not being permissible to the Su-
preme Court, it has no jurisdiction in the pre-
misses, and therefore the case should be dismiss
ed. 3, 81
