Northern Tier RallrOod.
The Washington correspondence OF the
Lssvsnworth Bulls.in. dated March 2sth.
contains the following relative to the land
grant to the Northern Tier Railroad:
The General Land Office has caused the
following paragraphs to Be published
"Tbs act of July Is, 1865. makes .

or the railroad company could lawfully
make q designation Of the line OF road
without connecting the same with the
Union Pacific or one Of its branches; and
also. - to whether the grant being to the
State Of Kansas, It WAS not restricted to
lands within the limits of that State.
"The Commissionsr of the General
Lsnd Office has been directed, in view OF

1t seems that stumbling blocks are be.
ing thrown in the way Of the Road, in
oil directions. Bot recently. the Com
missioners Of Buchanan County. Missouri.
refused to issue the bonds voted BY the
people to aid in the construction of the
road. and toe Supreme Court sustained
their action. The other day. a railroad
meeting was held 10 St. Joseph. at which
it was urged that the people of that city
should aid roads in their own State. in.
stead Of going over into Kansas to build
roads for them. If the Northern Tier
Road were bailt, st. Joseph would reap
Is much or moro advantages from it than
