aIlOD Will DC 10 lessen Cne Value OF real eS-
tate and ultimately to retard emigration.
The position assumed by the friends of
this measure that the earnings of the roads
which the several companies will be able to
build with the proceeds of this loan, will Sc
cure the state against the payment Of the in
terest on their bonds is simply absurd.
This loan of $5,OOO,OO0 divided between
four roads, would have the effect of starting
four roads without completing any one so
that it would earn enough to pay the run
ming expenses.
| On this head Mr.. STRONG, from Wiscon-
sin, made some very extravagant assertions.
He said, first, that the Roads in Minnesota
could be built for about $4,000 per mile
He must have known better than this. He
must have known that they will cost at least
$4,000 per mile, taking roads in Wisconsin
and Northern Illinois as examples The first
81 miles OF the La Crosse and Milwaukee
Road cost 81 1888, 1853, or $36,94O per mile.
The Milwaukee and Mississippi 25l miles in
length, cost Sc, l52,O75, or $24,522 per mile.
| The Galena and Chicago Road, 259 miles
in length, cost $7,7426l4, or sos, 1894 per
mile. This is the cost of the Roads and
eouipments, as stated in late number of the
Rail Road Journal.
As to the earnings of these Roads Mr..
Strong said that the first 60 miles of the La
Crosse Road, which extended to Beaver Dam,
earned $4,000 per mile, or 100000 per
year, and about $500, 900 was the net earn
ings per year.
This is handsome saving if true but 1t is
not true, and Mr.. Strong must haze hnoaon 1t.
Now for the proof. The Milwaukee and Mis-
sisslppi is one of the best Roads in the West,
and Its stock is worth at least four times as
much In market as that of the La Crosse and
Milwaukee Railroad.

completed from Milwaukee to the Mississippi

army Dill ioC any new discoveries.
Mr.. Dixon, of Conn.,, commenced reply
to the speeches of Mr.. Toombs and Others,
on the Kansas slavery question. In the
course OF his remarks he referred to the Pres
ident's letter to Prof Silliman, eulogizing the
letter as the peer Of the highest mind in the
scientific world, and having attained an emf
nence which, if the President himself should
ever reach, he migh well be satisfied.
Mr.. Foot called the attention of the Sen.
ate to the subject Immediately before it. He
was opposed to the increase of the army, and
even thought it might be reduced without
detriment to the country. AS to Utah
troubles, he would withdraw the troops al
ready there, and recall the government of.
fcers, leaving the Mormons to the fate of
their own vices and decisions. He was of
the opinion that the proposed increase
would fall far below the number that would
be required. If for the protection of the
frontier against the Indians, he would say
protect these poor Indians against their white
aggressors, put stop to the wrongs and rob-
berries committed on them, withdraw your
agents and there will be no need to send
troops against them. Mr.F. continued at some
length in similar strain, closing with the
remark that in the absence of International
discord, and in the presence of the pending
OF national bankruptcy, he thought it would
best subserve the interests of the country to
vote against the bill in all its parts.
Mr.. Pugh said if gentlemen would bring in
a bill reducing both the army and navy he
would vote for it.
Mr.. Benjamin opposed the bill. He had
looked through all the reports and documents,
on the Subject without seeing any good rea-
son for an increase Of the army. The ex-
pense would amount to $l4O0OOOO. He
was willing to support the Administration in
any reasonable measure. but could not vote
for such proposition.
Mr.. Hamlin opposed the bill. He would
not vote dollar to send troops to Kansas
or Utah, and would never sanction, by his
vote an executive war. He agreed with the
Senator from Vermont, aud would recall the

Youngest, mad declared against State debts.
80 had our own State gone unanimously in
her constitutional Convention, in favor of an
anti-debt clause, and now, half year after
forwards, the representatives of the people
come up.and want to change it, because it can
be easily done. He had said before, that
the amendment clause of the Constitution
was its worst feature, and it would yet be
seen.
He then read from various documents,
showing the amount of State debts in va
rious States. Minnesota was not down: he
would put her down $5,0OO,OOO, though
(Applause.)
He observed also, the ratio of population
to State debt in various States, and showed
that the proposed State debt of Minnesota
would be greater, in proportion to the popu.
latlon, than any other, and in regard to taxa
BILE property, the ratio was enormously in
their favor. Other States had become alarm
ed with ratio of debt to population one-filth
as great as ours.
lie declared that the idea of the Railroad
bringing in emigration was absurd, and a
to markets, Minnesota must not attempt to
compete with Illinois and Wisconsin in the
Eastern markets, but look to the West, to
the Pacific. Nor can you get emigration
here if you levy tax of four per cent. or
every dollars worth of property, to paw the
mere interest of this loan. You can't nego.
tate your bonds, under these circumstances
capitalists know them too we'll. Nor can
you divert the loan as is proposed; it will kill
your negotiation.
The system was not good. Your roads
must be continuous and erything expend
ed must be on points where it will sooner
draw travel and commerce-where it will bt

A SUPPOSED RUNAwAY.--A negro, calling HIM
self Nathaniel b. Cousins, and hailing from Not

night. The negro man has in his possession free pa
pers, which. however, do not very accurately des-
cribc his personal puchritude. lie says be is
how en- route for Covington, Allegheny county,
where he claims to have brother residing. The
chief cause Of his arrest is attributable to the
striking resemblance he bears a negro advertised

tity is established.
