Attorney GeneraI ON Pacific Rail-
| % ,ssrsi road Question. 7-yrs.o,,,,
The President lately submitted to the
Attorney General several questions con-
nected with his duty regarding the accept
ance of and payments of fssubsidy for sue
cessive sections of the Pacific railroad He
received Yesterday written reply from Mr..
Eyarts, who is in New York. Mr.. Evarts
says he has given careful examination to
| the statutes, and does not find 1t easy to lay
out a practical course for Executive action,
which saall observe at once the conditions
| of the rapid opening of the roads to travel
and security for the ultimate sufficiency of
| the structure. He expects to be able
| to suggest satisfactory course, but it will
require more time than he has yet had at
command. He advises, with regard to the
subsidy to the sections now ready, that the
same course should be taken as heretofore,
and that any change which may finally be
determined on be- reserved for future ap-
plications. In the meantime the attention
| of the company has been called to the situ-
alton of the work which has given rise, to
| the solicitude of the Executive, and the
propriety of satisfying the Government as
to the progress of the work on the sections
heretofore accepted, to bring them up to
the standard of permanent completion,
will doubtless be pressed on the company
by the Government directors; and before
any further application for subsidy will
need to be acted upon he will have been
able to give full answer to the questions
