Upon the great rivers and lakes of the West steam
boats are regarded, believe, somewhat sentient
beings to he loved if they behave well, to be
despsed if they slow, and to be abhorred if they
maiciously blow up. Wherefore it is not astonish-
ing to find the bards of the West tuning their harps
to sing melodiously the praises of this thai par
ticular boat. There is steamer on the Mississippi
bearing the rather sanguinary name of " John Kill
gour" which has filled Louisville poet with in
spiration that he bursts out as follows: "The
mighty Mississippi steals Along each flowing shore
While on its bosom gently glides The gallant John
Kilgour." Nor is this all for the bard informs us
that within her cabins every night glad hearts are
beating free" She is also pOus boat for we are
told that Prayers go up to Heaven at night to bless
the John Kilgour" "-prayers presume that she"
the aforesaid John may not collapse flue,p and
may beat the rival boat all to nothing.
But what would be all the virtues of this beanti-
full vessel if she were not controlled managed, di-
rected, and generally looked after by the proper
officers 1t is right, therefore, that the sweet
singer, with something of Homeric detail, should
give us the names the thrice honored Names of the
officers which, indeed, he does in these remarkable
lines: With Capt. Benson on the roof, And Fill

II may be concluded from the presence of all tho
Fathers at the recent meetings of the Congregations
that the opposition to the new regulations which
strong, has died away. In fact, by their
assisting ut the discussions, the malcOntents have
practically 81 mitted to the new regulations. The
great struggle however, will be on the principle
TO whether majority of votes is sufficient to
ton a dogma, OF whether moral unanmity is ALSO
lutely necessary. On this point the Jesuits, in the
last number Of their ergan, the Ciriitd CattOkcd,
insist at some length, that unanimity never has been
equired, and that it would lead to a destruction of
the unity of the Church. Doctors however, dis
agree and the opposition to this point is strong
ever When it will manifest itself by acts yet to
be seen but if the Fathers meets with IN society

and resolved to maintain O'r views" they
say. God will control all. We have lad
infinite difficulties 10 overcome, more than
the world knows of. and It must be said we have
met and overthrowh them with heroism. Tie con-
fusion that was created by the utter ignorance of
administration and organization was no immense, but
things go little easier now. Then, too the idea of
bringing forward this question of hfallihhty aftr
the lapse of 800 years is preposterous Ii is doubtful
whether We shall be able To prevent its dehnition-

improbable that it Was generally discre-

there were some who Ventu ed against

company will resist the claims of set
tiers and oppress them.
MIR. Speaker, along the line of this,

egon, and in Idaho, and I will ven
ture to say in Montana, though have
no positive knowledge, there cannot
be found an individual who is not
anxious to have that road built on
such terms as are offered here. The
people who are directly interested ARG
willing that the grant should be made
as provided for in this joint resolution.
The men who live isolated from civili-y
Zation and commerce are pot those
who complain of these Land grants;-
but, as has already been well said, the
opposition comes from gentlemen
whose constituents have been hereso.-
fore gorged by land grants. Having
secured all they want, they very un-
graciously oppose extending like fa-
vors to others. The actual settlers.
present and prospective, will not thank
these gentlemen who thus misrepre-.
sent them. They want these roads :.
the country through which they are to
run is of little value without them
This proposition Will secure the con-
struction of these roads, so much
needed, and for which our people will
have reason to be thankful, and the
building of which no one will ever re-
gret.
Mr.. COBURN. ask the gentle
man from Oregon whether he will vote
for an amendment to this joint reolu-
ton to fix the point of departure of
the branch road at a point not more
than four hundred miles east of the
western terminus of this road?
Mr.. SMITH, of Oregon. 1 would
do so most cheerfully if it were not for
sending this joint resolution back to
the Senate, although, for the reasons
have stated, there is no necessity for
1T. / will state again to the gentle
man that the character of the country
is such as to offer no temptation to the
company to increase the length of it's
branch for the sake of additional land.
Mr.. COBURN. The question is
not what the gentleman states, but
the question we have is what construc-
ton will be put upon this language.
Mr.. SMITH, of Oregon. I will
vote, after this joint resolution passes,
for resolution fixing the point of de-
Iparture at not more than four hun
. dred miles east of Portland, if it is
thought desirable; but I know it is
not necessary.
