ea'ion Of the bcnds The title 90 the
lands shou'd not p@s. by parent or esb-r-
~iss. bgi remain n the governn~u; and
subject to its coutr,l until ssme PARTON
Of Ihe road has hsen actually built. Por.
, tions of them might then from time to
time lie conveyed to thu co,pnrators. but
never in greater ratio to the whole quau,i-
~ embraced by the grants than the CON-
plrted parts bear to the entire length Of
the probe ted improvement. This restric-
tion would not operate to the pr judice Of
any Undertaking conceived in good faith
and executed with reasoablc energy. 1t is
the settled practice to withdraw from the
market the lands falling within the opera
tions of such grants and thus to exclude
the inception and subsequent subversion
of rights. A breach Of the cond itions for
which Congress may deem it proper TO
impose upon such works forfeiture OF
claim 10 the land withdrawn but uncon-
veyed, and of title tn the lands conveyed
which remain unsold. This part is unin.
t-lligible.-ED. Operations on the sew.
eral lines of the Pacific Railroad have
been prosecuted with unexampled vigor
and success. Should no unforeseen cause
Of delay occur, it is confidently anticipated
that this great thrr"ughtare will be com.
pleted before the expiration Of the period
designated by Congress.
PENSIONS. m
| During the last fiscal year the amount
paid to pensioners, including the expsnsrs
of disbursement, was $l3,450,976. and
5O,l77 names were added 10 the pension
rolls. The entire number Of pensioners
in June, 1866, was 126.822. These acts
furnish melancholy and striking proof of
the sacrifices made. to vindicatr the con-
stiluiional authority Of the Federal Gov
ernmcnt, and maintain inviolate the iu,eg-
rity of the Union. They impose upon US
corresponding obligations. 1t is estimated
thirty three million will be required to
meet the exigenci-s of this branch of the
service, during the next fiscal year.
TIE INDIANS. ..
Treaties have been conluded with the
Indians who entered into armed opposition
to our Government at the outbreak of ths

sire for reaewal Of friendly relations,
