anu inserting |at the mouth OF the kanZas
rlVer, as equally favorable 10 the North and
| South.
A discussion ensued upon this motion. in
which Messrs. Douglas, Jones, and Others
participated.
Mr.. lversou spoke at length on the general
question. He opposed the bill, because the
road so constructed would be controlled by
network OF Northern lines, and empty its
| fruits INTO the lap OF the North The 50 par.
aIlel route was the cheapest and the best, but
the 81 parallel was better than the Northern
route. He would have two roads-one for
| the North and one for the South-each hay
lug mail contracts for their own localities. and
divide the grant offered by Mr. winn's bill
say $4,000, 600 eacm-as the road pro
crosses. He moved amendments TO that eff
feet
Mr.. Seward said the time had passed for
discussing the necessity or the feasibility of a
railroad to the Pacific. The maj -rity of the
people know that three, four, five routes
offer great Inducements for this object. But
here rises the most difficult question Of all
how to obtain the consent OF Congress. As
TO the route, the North reasonably demands
that it shall be within her limits while TIE
South demands the same. Hence, though all
agree Tor the line, they cannot agree Tor the
route. He (SeVard) was in favor.of an ex-
treme Northern route, yet from the urgency
oil the case ne was prepared to assent to any
that received ma orty. The committee had
sacrificed much in order to frame a bill that
might receive ISL votes of both Houses. San
Francisco would be the CONNER ca entrepol
on the Pacific coast for this century and per
haps for centuries to come. New York is
the great entrepot of the Atlantic. Wherever
the route is located the passengers and traffic
a
Seward proceeded to elaborate the views
which had actuated the committee in framing
bill to reconcile conflicting interests, and
supported the bill in an eloquent and states
manlke manner.
Mr. Green freely admitted that the road
would benefit Missouri, but did not advocate
1t for the selfish interests of his State. The
probable traffic would justify but one road,
and TINT must be d central one 1t should not
be located in the burning FL Paso, or in the
North, which is obstructed by snow.
h is amendment was lost
Mr. Polk moved to substitute the words on
the Western boundary line of Missouri and
Arkanzas, between the mouth OF the Big ST
oux aud the Arkanzas river.
The Senate went into executive session,
and soon after adjourned
HOUSE.
MIR. English, that he might not be misun-
derstood, said he was opposed to the Senate
bill IN its present shape, but yet he was will
ing TO hear what the Senate had to say, and
was in favor of the appointment of che com.
mittee of conference. He could not see that
any harm would result from it, and therefore
he moved that the House agree to a commit
tee OF conference on the subject matter of the
dlsagreeng votes, and that three mem bers be
appointed on the part of the House. On this
proposition he called for the previous CUES :.
ton.
Mr. Washburn of Maine, raised the cues
ii VI that it was not in order for Mr., English
to mike that motion. The House has adhered
and untllit Ieconsders that action, it is not
in order to make that motion.
The Speaker oYerruled the point of order.
Mr. Garnett of Virginia, wished to make
an explanation Of his vote. Objections were
made.
MIR. English repeated that he had made his
motion in accordance with general usage in
all parliamentary bodies.
The demand for the previous question was
seconded, when the House proceeded to vote

The Chair then voted in the affirmative, and
so Mr., English's motion was agreed to- The
announcement of the vote was greeted with
applause in the gallery. The Speaker direct
ed the door-kePer and his assistants to remove
those persons who had caused the disturbances
Mr.. Harris Of Illinois, hoped the Chair
would FIRST make an example Of those on the
floor OF the house who clarped their hands.
| The Speaker said he was not aware that
any disturbance had occurred among the mem
bers. He had no right to order the hall to
be cleared, but the House itself can take such
action against such members as the gentle-
man from Illinois might point out. He sub.
sequently, in response to the request of Mr..
Curtiss OF Town, and others, revoked his or
der, expressing at the same time hope that
the disorder would not be repeated and that
the bad example should not be set by mem
bers upon the floor.
Mr.. Grow, of Pa, said it was not privi-
lege bni right for persons to occupy the gall
leries.
At the instance of Mr.. English, a motion to
reconsider the vote just taken was tabled.
The House then again went into committee
of the whole npon the Washington Police
| Bill During the discussion, Mr.. Reagan, of
Texas,sad that he would vote against this, as
he did against the, deteency bill guided by his
| Judgment and convictions irrespective of the
| Washington Union, which, professing.to be the
organ Of the Administration, had fabricated a
false statement to read him and other South
ern members out of the party. because they
voted against the deficiency bill. lie would
not vote for the measure to pension lobby
members and loafers on the Treasury. while
it declared that the people of the District Of
Columbia were not capable OF self govern.

Mr. John Cochran, of N. Y, urged the pas.
sage of the bill for the better protection of lite
and property. but stated his objections 10 that
