There have been 20 many oitic,al reports about
tie Pacific Railroad Tint confusion in the country
on the subject n indicated by private te!egraIne

matter Of wonder. The report OF Snow, as Gov.

rrlgu Of Mt johnson and the report OF General
NaTen and associates, flied about gx weeks ago
and distracted for the press on the 9Th OF last
month, Wis also made, under INSTRUCTIONS issued
by 5ir. Johnson. One nf General Grant i earliest
acts, after be became President, Was to designate
General Wu11en, James F. wilson, and Isaac
y. Morris, Commissioners, to examine the whole
lnc and make report thereapon. Norris has pre-.
serted his conclusions aDl, WITH tho evident puE,
pose OF creating 4 een4a:lop, forthwith rushed
them into print General Warren and Nj. Wilson
have been over the road and i; is supposed thcy
a1e making up their ma! report on the completed
work. None Of tie government officials Know
when Il vii! be Received, though, as letters have
t,eeo coming here to General Warren for Two OF
three days, it Is presumed tE1t he TEl arrive be-
fc.e great while. What conclusion these two
gentlemen have reached is not known to any one
here Monts was evidently satisfied that they
woEld not concur In his sweeping censufe.
