There u very great danger that Congress
will adjourn without acting on the Pacific
Railroad question, owing to division among
the friends Of the measure. There are more
than dozen different bills before Congress,
for the construction OF a road, and as each
one has It's friends and supporters, il seems
impossible to unite sufficient votes upon any
one proposition to carry it.
The following is an abstract Of the differ.
ent bills before the Senate and House:
|. The bill Of the Select Committee, re-
ported in January last. 1t fixes San Fran
cisco as the western, and q point on the Mis-
souri, river, between the mouths OF the Kan.
sas and Big Sioux as the eastern terminus,
and provides for its construction by land
grants and government bonds.
=. Senator Owns BILL introduced in
December last. Itproposes three roads and
tesgraphs one starting from Texas, one
! from Missouri, and one from Mnnesota-to
be built by land grants.
). Senator VERSIONS bill. Ii invites pro-
posals for one route south Of the Seth paral-
lei, which would take it through Texas and
| New Mexico.
A. Senator Foots bill. 1t selects the
route from the Red River OF the North, in
Minnesota, to Puget's Sound, in Washing
ton Territory, thence to San Francisco. As
between the first named points this is the
shortest OF all the routes.
). Senator Davis bill. tprovides land
grants of alternate sections six miles wide
and money grant Of Sl0,sOO,OO0, and
| specifics no route.
6. Senator Cameron's bill 1t provides
for board OF competent engineers who shall
select the ronte, and that the government
shall raise money for the construction of the
work by bonds redeemabe in fifty years.
which bonds shall be finally assumed and
paid by the respective States through which
the road may run.
I. Senator Wilson's bill. II locates the
road between the 34th and 45th parallels
provides that five engineers shall determine
the route, and that money for the construc-
ton shall be raised by government loan,
which shall be repaid by the proceeds of the
sales OF public lands.
3. Senator Rices bill. 1t provides for
three roads, one through Minnesota, one
central road through Missouri, and another
through Texas, to b. constructed by grants
of government land.
8. Mr.. Phelps bill. 1t makes land
grants to California, Missouri, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Nebraska and Kansas, similar
to those to other States, and provides for
the issue of bonds at thirty years in aid of
the construction. 1t contenplates three
eastern branches of the road, one running
to Mississippi, the others to Missouri.
10. Mr.. Smiths bill. 1t proposes that
the United States shall aid the Southern
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company
to build theirs, the irst to San Francisco
and the last to Puget's Sound. and TO aid
such company as may be organized to build
another from the Missouri River
II. Mr.. McKibben's bill II proposes
two roads one to commence north OF the
3Sth parallel, the other south of the Both
parallel, both to run to San Francisco, with
branches to Puget's Sound and San Diego.
