The lOng-threatened measure for the "Equall-
cation of bounties made its appearance yester-
day in the Senate, in the shape of bill from
the hands of Mr.. Wilson, Chairman of the Mill
tary Committee. Equalization means that
the soldiers who enlisted and served without
bounties are now to be presented with gratuitieS
equal to the bounties paid other soldiers as in
ducements to enlist. According to Mr.. Wilson's
bill, these gratuities are to be paid to all who
failed to receive q United States bounty They
may have pocketed hundreds Of dollars from
State, or County, or private sources-no mat
ter; they are now to put their hands deep
into Uncle Sans depleted treasury. We are
sorry to see Mr.. Wilson has yielded to the pres
sure, and presents himself as the father OF such
measure as this. We do not believe the
soldiers demand it; we know the country ought
not to be called on to pay it, The scheme is
engineered by an army of cormorants and claim
agents who will laugh to scorn the feeble pro-
visions designed to interfere with their specu-
lations, and while We know the bill, If ever
passed, will cost the country hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars, we doubt if one dollar in five
finds its way into the pockets of those whom
the act is ostensibly designed TO benefit.

considered the matter. and, whic aVcrsc TO the
;ssn;nr of bonds. which was not asked for, have
nrcparod the bills under consideration. 1t is q
new policy. The gentlemen in the enterprise
believe that the public are suTeited with bonds,
and that capitalists abroad and at home will be
attracted by stock on which the interest is
certain to be paid--upon which there can never
be mortgage while, in addition to the SIX per
cent, there will be future prospect OF dividends
from the sale of the lands. ,tt q
Tho line of this road runs through the heart OF
the great North. Western gold fields 1t will pass
up the Yellow Stone, through the center OF Mon
tana-that Territory which is now SURPRISING all
others in the richness and extent Of its mines, and
in its agricultural resources. From present lndl'
cations, there Is to be an unprecedented elnigra-
ton to that section the present season. About
fifty steamers are under charter from
st. Louis; HaIliday's stages (overland) are
orammed; whilo from Iowa, Minnesota and
Nebraska, the emigrant with his family
is preparing to join the great caravan
for sixty day journey to tho land OF gold.
Passengers by steamers will be As days On the
river, paying $500 for the passage, and 80 cents
per pound on freight. Those who travel overland
pay $500, and must be knocked about "a days
for / 500 miles The distance from Sank Rapids
on tho Missouri, to which point railroad Is
now under construction. is about 900 miles.
Wero the Northern line completed to Montana,
that Territory would DO but 40 hours from st.
Paul for $25; freight three cents per pound.
Even with the opening Of 300 miles, from the
Mississippi to the Missouri, with steamers on
the Upper Missouri, Montana can be brought
within five days of ST. Paul, and within eight
days Of New-York.
These and kindred considerations doubtless
have had great influence with the Committee.
as they must have upon every rejecting mind,
of showing the necessity Of the immediate OPEN
ing Of the proposed line. We trust the enter
prise will be properly aided and vigorously
prosecuted; but we are opposed to lifting a
spade on this or any kindred enterprise till
contracts can be made and labor employed on
the basis Of Gold prices.

sidered in the House-an attempt 70 lay it on

NH. BOUTWELL,.

We pray every reader who tales an interest
in public affairs to note well MIR. BOUTWELL, $
speech against Resumption yesterday In tue
House. Mr.. B. can make a clear, cogent,
straight forward speech when he has the right
side Of question; and we think he proves TINS
nv the wretched business lie makes OF arguing
on the wrong side We submit that no man
ever crossed his own tracks so often In
twenty minutes speech as did MIR. Boutwell,
Yesterday. Such grave apprehension as
he processes of the peril OF comforting
extraordinary power on the Secretary when
he is mt diSingenuous enough to conceal, even
from himself that his real dread all the time is
ofSpecic Payments and Specie PriceS-nothlng
else in the world. Yet no rather likes Re
deemable Currency in the abstract-only nc Is
sure that Lowell must stop spinning and weav'
inc if we come back to dollars that mean real
douars-iust as though Lowell had not spun
and woven thirty odd years on that sort OF Cur
rency, and, on the whole, done very well by 1t.
But now, if the Lowell men do Mt have to pay
As cents per poundfor Cotton, what will become
of theml
1t is melancholy to hear man like MIR.
Boutwell, talk as though gradual contraction oil
Currency and decline of prices, extended over
two or three years, would be less injurious to
business and industry than quick, sudden con-
traction, reducing all prices at once to a coin
basis. with a moral certainty that this is the
botlom-that hcnceforth, the course OF trade
must be onward and upward; that houses
might be built, railroads constructed,
raw materials bought, and goods manufac-
tured, without the depressing prospect that they
would all be lower in price next year, and lower
still the year after. than they are to-day. II
anything could stop the wheels OF Lowell, we
submit that it is this Mr.. Boutwell's plan Of
cutting off the dogs tail quarter of an inch
per day, fearing that he can't bear more than
that will kill him there is any die in him.
We rejoice that the House has begun to dis
cuss and earnestly consider this matter; for ii
only needs to be comprehendel TO secure
right decision. We are now confident that Thu
Congress will not adjourn without directing
return to Specie Payment; and, when thai
point il decided, it will be obvious that 1t Il
better to 60 right down to hard-pan at once.
