The Senate was in executive session four
hours to-day on the Mexican treaty. There
was an earnest debate, involving the entire
question. Several amendments were voted ON
and rejected, including those of Mr.. Simmons.
which had been previously approved of by
some of the republicans who were opposed to
the treaty in its original form. The treaty
was finally rejected by large majority. This
result has produced much disappointment as
well as surprise, as the Indications during the
past few weeks, were favorable to its ratitica-
ton Pending the question to reconsider the
vote, senators have an opportunity TO more
closely consider to-days action. II is sup.

The Pacific Railroad.

The Select Pacific Railroad Committee
held their fourth meeting on Tuesday night.
The first proposition was, that every men,
Der should express his views on the subject
of the number Of roads to &c constru cted,
ana each member present announced bis pre-
ference. The committee thea proceeded to
vote. and the first proposition was upon
granting aid for three roads, and the vote
stood yeas to eleven nays. The second
proposition, granting aid to two roads, was
defeated by seven yeas to eight nays The
third proposition was in favor of granting
aid to one road, was adopted by vote Of
eleven yeas to three nays. The three who
opposed the last proposition are understood
to be Messrs. Aldrich, OF Minnesota, Smith
OF Virginia, and Hamilton Of Texas. Mr..
Taylor OF Louisiana, announcing that he
would vote for one route, with the under
standing TIA, the company building the road
should name the route. The committee at
its next meeting, on Saturday morning vii!
decide upon the route; and there is no doubt
whatever that il will be in favor of the cen
trial road.
Messrs. Hamilton and Smith were very
much dissatisfied at the defeat of the propo-
sition for two roads. Mr.. Hamilton an
noanced his intention to oppose single
route. Mr.. Scott, of California, voted
against the three routes, which would give
Oregon a road, and MIR. Stout, of Oregon,
voted for the three routes, giving equal
advantages to California and Oregon, and
voted against the extreme Southern and
central routes, which Mr.. Scott voted for.
The single road was voted for both by Stout,
OF Oregon, land Scott, of California. An effort is
being made to reconsider the vote agreeing
To one route, for the purpose o inducing the
committee to agree to the central and south |
ern routes, upon condition that branch |
from the central shall be constructed from !
Salt Lake City to Portland, Oregon. All |
The members oil tho committee were present |!
except Mr.. Of Davis, Mary land, who had been |

STEAM ENGINES FOR STREET RA1LRoADs.-
steam engine was tried on one OF the
street railroads in Philadelphia last Saturday
evening with admirable success. The Led
ger says:
The engine is placed upon the front plat
form of the car and enclosed, the machinery
being kept oHt of view. Before starting for
frankfort, the engineer backed the car into
the depot several times, to show the ease
with which it would turn short curves. On
the trip, the steam-car followed the horse
car, and had to stop whenever the horse-car
did 80. 1t had several times to be stopped
or brought to very slow pace,so as to allow
carriages and wagons to get off the track,
and in such times was easily managed. The
engine made no noise except with the ex-
haust steam, when the car was ascending the
grade, but not then sufficient to brighten
horses. At tae approach to Franktord, there
is a grade of about $50 feet..to the mile, an
also compound curve, but over this obsta.
Gle the car was run to the top of the grade
with perfect ease, and without forcing the
engine unduly.
