UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23-The President to-
day accepted two sections of twenty miles each
of the Union Pacific Railroad, and directed
bonds to be issued upon the same amounting
to S128,000. This extends to the 940th mile
post which Is as far as has been reported by the
Commissioners.
RosEcRANs AND THE MEXICAN MISSION.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The Posts Washing
ton dispatch says the fact has just come to
light that on the closing days of the last session
OF Congress, while the President and his Cabi-
net were at the Capitol an effort was made by
members of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs to have the President change Gen.
Rosecrans' appointment from that of Minister
to Mexico to that of Minister to Russia, on &C
count of Gen. Rosecrans' religious belief. The
effort however failed.
The member of the committee who went to
urge this matter upon Mr.. Seward, in order
that the latter might request the President to
make the proposed change, had warm debate
with him, which resulted in the Senator with
drawing from the room. As it was not deemed
advisable to permit the Mexican mission to re-
main vacant during the recess OF Congress
Gen, Rosecrans was confirmed, against the un-
expressed wishes, however, of several members
OF the Committee on Foreign Relations,
GEN. GRANTS VIEW ON GOVERNMENT LOANS TO
RAILROADS
A special to the Post from Washington SAYS:
Gen. Grant in conversation yesterday with
Cakes Ames, President of the Union Pacific
Railroad, expressed in firm and decided terms
his opposition togranting any more money SUBJ
sides to the Union Pacific Railroad until the
finances of the country are in much better con-
dition than at present. While he favored the
building of one or two railroads through to the
Pacific coast, he would not give his approval
to any schemes which proposed to take money
out OF the government treasury in the shape of
bonds. He had favored the building of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad as a military necessi-
ty, and believed it would save government
large amount of money, but by giving his ap-.
proyal he had not intended to convey the idea
that he was in favor of building road by aid
of money to be taken from the Treasury De-
partment. These roads should be built by
private enterprise, although in some cases
land subsidies might be granted without detri-
ment to the public interest. To be brief, Gen.
Grant expressed himself opposed to all new
enterprises which tended to deplete the public
treasury or to increase the already enormous
public debt. The most rigid economy should
be observed until the country was in more
healthy condition. He trusted his friends
would take this view of these matters and aid
Linn in making them successful during his adj
ministration.

Conduct OF a Horse.

A recent French paper relate
an extraordinary punishment in
ficted by horse OH its master 70
an act Of brutality by the latter to
wards one of the animals stabl,
companions. A carrier named
R, at 10 time tender in hi
treatment of his four-footed ser
wants, was returning one night IL
a state of semi-intoXication from
Mormant to Givors. The mans
natural barbarity was at this time
aggravated by the drink he hat
taken, and, being dissatisfied
with the efforts of one Of the hor.
ses-a poor hack which had al
most served its time-he decided
that the animal was no longer
worth his feed, and resolved to
put an end to it. For that pur-
pose he tied the poor brute 10 a
tree, and taking a massive lever
used in moving heavy goods, he
struck the animal several violent
blows on the head, until the un-
fortunate creature sank to the
ground insensible. The master,
thinking the animal was dead, left
it on the spot, intending to remove
the body the next day: The
horse, however, recovered its SEN
ses short time after, found its
way home. and entered the court
yard at daybreak. Its arrival
was welcomed by the neighing of
its companions in the stable, which
noise awakened the master, who
was now furious at having failed
in his cruel purpose. He tied up.
the animal atresh and commencea
again to shower blows on its head,
This act of brutality was commit.
ted in sight of two other horses, in
the stable; and at length one of
them, young animal, became 90
frantic with rage that it broke ifs
halter, and, rushing on the man,
seized him in its jaws, and after
shaking him violently, threw him
down and trampled on him with
such fury that, had not the mans
cries brought some persons TO his
aid, the master would certainly
have been killed. AS it is,s.he
has suffered great injury from the
attack.
