WASHINGTON, July 1, 1869.
Judge John d. Cation:


Judge John d. Cation;
SIR find in the Star Of this city
the following dispatch, which Is going
the rounds of the papers:
Judge Cation and Horace White,
Of Illinois, send dispatch from Salt
Lake. aunder date of June 26, pro-
nOuneing Commissioner Morris re-
port In all particulars a piece of un-
mitigated nonsense" and declaring
the road "to be the best constructed,
considering its newness, ever built In
this country.
Well, Judge, this will do for you,
and as you are the responsible man,
to you l will reply.
You went over the road for a pleas
ure trip to examine it.
Your telegram is dated the 26th of
June, at Salt Lake. My report was
not published anywhere until that day,
and at no point nearer than 1000
miles to you'll All you could have
known about it if anything, was some
prejudieial telegraph sent by an in
terested party. Such party came to
this city TO get such account sent off
to foresiall public opinion in advance
of its appearance, while 1T seems you
stood at the other end of the line to
echo back the sentiment. If you were
not stationed witness, how did II
happen you were so soon hunted up
and brought into court? You say my
report Is uDmitigated nonsense III all
particulars, just as though you had
read it, when in fact you had not, and
did not know what it contained.
Was it unmitigated nonsense to
say the road has pine ties, is not bal
lasted, is without the proper build
ings: that sandstone is used for abut-
ments and piers; that streams arc
crossed on trestle work; that the tun-
nels are single instead OF double
track that the road bed at the grade
line is not a uniform width Of four
teen feet; and that it is right the
Government should be secured
in the twenty -eight millions it
loaned to the company TO COM
plete it, in bonds? And yet, the
proper officer of the company has
filed affdaEits that it was completed.
Yes, yes, to you, this is unmitigated
nonsense" ." But yoI say, Judge, it is
a good road for its newnes3l"
Here you put in the old, worn
out pleal If you know anything
about the matter, you know the
law admits of no such plea-that it
requires a first class railroad,
" in all respects " to be constructed
before the bonds are paid. Gen. War
rem and Mr.. Wilson report that four
of the sections just examined require
the expenditure of $3.50. .450 to com
plete them! A month or SO ago GEN
eral Warren reported it would re-
quire $6,771,710 to complete the
Union, and 81 493, $50 to complete the
Central Pacific Road.

The Democrats of the Southern
States are in favor Of Chinese immi-
grafton and Chinese suffrage. The
( (ou11er OF this city takes the same
view of the question. They seem to
regard the Chinese as a fair offset to
tie negr oes. and lock upon John Chi
paman as the very man to liberate
them from political bondage. The
California. Democrats, however. look
at the mnt5er very differently. They
regard Chinese suffrage as the great
est of denominations, and threaten all
1inds Of evil things against any men
or party who will encourage or even
tolerate it..
Under these circumstances, the
Chinese threaten to become no ordi-
nary bone cf contention IN the next

eomplieaee matters still more, we can't
see how the Courier and the Democ-

yoeacy of Chinese suffrage with their
Hostility to the Fifteenth Amendment,
BY which this suffrage is secured. II

ely, so far. at least, as we'll cultivated

much Of it, indeed, being planted by
small-class farmers, is probably better
nded than ever done by slave labor.

we'll, and the weather is as fine for
