Mr.. RUTTER-H.B B. No. 12O, making an
appropriation OF general revenue for the
Improvement of the State farm road, was
read a third time. z~fi-tf1-1
Mr.. RUTTER advocated the passage OF
the bill and explained its necessity.
Mr.. LEETE said that the mania for
building benevolent institutions had grown
into abuse. He was opposed to the bill.
Mr.. BAKER offered an amendment to
strike out $1,000 and insert 81, l3S; and that
the bill be recommitted with instruction to
so amend it,. 0g

moved to recommit the bill, with instruc-
tions to amend in line 8, sec. 2, after the
word work." by inserting ''and adjacent
proprietors."
Mr.. WOLF thoughtit would do Injustice
to the adjacent proprietors to destroy the
canal as to fishing purposes, &C., without
their consent. 1-
Mr.. THORNHILL desired the bill TO
pass without the amendments for he
thought it would be beneficial to the State
to so transfer the canal.
Mr.. LEWTON said such an amendment
will enable the citizens to prevent the grant
and use of the canal.
Mr.. LEE was Opposen to the amendment.
He did not want this measure placed in
jeopardy by the stubbornness OF residents
along the canal.
Mr.. WOLF thought the State had no
right to give away what belongs to the
people. If vacated, that canal belongs to
the people.
Mr.. THORNHILL said the bill does not
propose to transfer any other right than
the one now possessed by the State.
Mr.. BALL opposed the amendment. He
thought the transfer would benefit the
State. The canal had never paid its ex-
penses. f5-sg.
Mr.. DJLWORTH was opposed to the
amendment. The State could only transfer
its right in the canal, and he could not see
that any injustice would be done the adja-
cent land owners.

An Impartial Trial.

The Journal, on the 18th, felt called upon
to write an editorial designed to show that
the impartiality of President JoHNsoN's
trial so far is of an unprecedented charac-
ter. It is of an unprecedented character,
we admit. There's been nothing like it
since the days of the Star Chamber. The
Journal would have its readers believe that
sif there was the least ground for complaint
It would be for complaint on the part OF
the country that this great offender Presi-
dent JoHNsoN] was not sooner brought to
JUSTICE"
President JOHNSON is avowedly mainly
on trial for a violation of the Tenure of Of
flee bill. For an alleged violation of it, he
is now characterized by the Journal as
.this great offender" On the 2lst of De-
cember last, the Journal uttered this sweep
ing condemnation of the bill .
"The tenure of office bill as applied to the
Constitutional advisers Of the President of the
United States, If not unconstitutional, is prac-
t;cdtty dbsard. The idea that The Executive is

nent, is too ridiculous tor discussion.'' r.

Eight Hundred Miles Completed

Another hundred mile post has been reached
on the Union Pacific Railroad not many times
more can We repeat this report, which has come
70 US eight times within two years past, befor,
the whole line 10 the Pacific Ocean will be COM

be IN successful operation. Less than one year
ago the achievement of five hundred miles was
made the occasion for national congratulation
that half athousand miles OF the national rail-
road had been built; now three hundred miles
have been added, and the Indian summer days
will see the traek-hyers at or beyond the point
which marks nine hundred miles. Such rap,dity

Of safety or pcrmanence, as is testified by the
government commissioners appointed 20 examine
and report upon the road, and by a multitude OF
intelligent eyewitness Of the condition and
working Of the road The Union Pacific Rail-
road has been frequently referred to as nation
al work. The extent of this nationality has lust
been made strikingly manifest by report upon
army transpJhtation on tho plains, recently
made by the United States Quartermcster Gen
eral. From this report, it appears that the pro,
paid the railroad for transportation OF army
freight Is only about one-foarth that paid ioT
similar service hywagons, The amount paid the
railroad in 1857, for such transportation. was
about 100000, and the same amount of trans
portation by wagons at the contract price Tor that
year, would have cost s2,6-I $500. In other
words, the saving to the Government by the
railroad, in year, with average of SSG mile,
