SENArE.-The bin granting aid to the At
lontic Telegraph Company was taken up
Mr. Pugh moved to amend by proyiso that
no money shall be paid under the authority Of
this act until @ convention shall have been
concluded between tbe United States and g..
Britain, whereby such portions of the British
Possessions in North America as command
the Western terminus of the Telegraph shall
have been subjected to the principle of neu-
tralization. as adopted in the Central Amcri-
can treaty of 1880
Mr.. Seward said that the discretion was
lodged in the President, and il he deemed the
interests of the country required such treaty
he would doubtless take proper measures for
that object
Nh Pugh sand he could not consent to pay
money to private citizens for dong ther own
business. The British government having
the terminus Of the hnc' can secure seeresy
as well as dispatch IN the transmission oil an
her communications we can have no sueh
