The Pacific railway isespecialIy favored among
American railway enterprises, because of the ex-
istence of natural obstacles and bulk of under.
taking that would rest fatally on any embarking
of private capital inSthe work. 1t could not be
built without governments aid. The government
has appointed its commissioners to examine and
supervise each mile of track before it is accepted
and this was done by the commissioners present
on the late Gee asien. Their functions are not 40

nection with the road abundsntly shows; rail-
road men all agree that it is well built.

Gerrit Smith is not for blood and confsc
like his colleagues GENERALLY, but fsvors milder
policy. He says:
Happy should be to see our country brought
to q just and permanent peace on the following
terms;
~. No more punishment-there has been
enough.
so No confscation.
''S. No dsfranchisement of southern offenders.
81. The national debt paid and the secession
debt blotted out.
-. Impartial suffrage. l believe in universal
suffrage, but in this instance l would insist only
upon impartial suGrage-impartial among all
men, white, black and red
SO. In deep sorrowing for the suffering and
poverty of the south, let the nation exempt her
for some five or ten years from the imposition of
direct internal taxes In these taxes / do not
include duties on foreign goods.
81 Mutual forgiveness and, as far as possible,
forgetfulness of the wrongs which each has done
