rHE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD
WASHINGTON, April 2G.-1he President to-da
sent in communication from the Secretary
the Interior in relation TO the Central Pacific Raj
road Company Eastern Division. The cornpan
were required to complete 100 miles OF the roa
within three years after their acceptance of til
conditions Of the original act. This provision Is
pired Dec ~, 1865. Only 62 miles had been mr.,
yiously accepted by the government. AT thu
date, an additional section Of % miles had bee
completed. Commissioners, appointed for I'd
purpose have examined aud reported upon it. an
80 application has been made for its acceptance
Lhe failure 70 complete 100 miles of the roa
within the period prescribed, renders it question
able whether the executive officers of the govern
ment are authorized to issue bonds and patents /
winch the company would be entitled, if this a
well as other requirements of the act, had bee
observed. This failure may, to some extent b
sscribed to the financial condition Of the countr1
incidental to the recent civil war. As the com
pany appear to be engaged in energetic proseou
don Of the work, and manifest disposition t,
comply with the conditions of the grant, the Presi
dent recommends that the time for completing tha
part of the road be extended and that authorit,
be given for the issue of bonds and patents OF
account Of the section now offered for acceptance
Notwithstanding the failure, should the company
ia other respects be thereunto entitled.

day previous, although Senator Dixon came in
yesterday and paired his vote. a full Senate

IL. Senators Foster, Sumner, Ednlunds Grimes,
ana Poland voted with the opposition, to the re-
gret Of those who regard the integrity and unity
Of me Republican party as of special consequence
at this iunctnre.
