Mr.. VAN TRUMP, ON the fifth, intro
duced a joint resolution (H. R No. 278)
in relation to the Pacific railroads interest
paid by the United States on bonds, and
directing the Secretary of the Treasury to
retain certain funds in his hands for
indemnify; which was read a first and
second time.
Mr.. VAN TRUMP. 1 desire to have
the joint resolution reported in full.
The Clerk read as follows:
Whereas by late report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, communicated to
this House, it appears that the Pacific
railroad companies have failed to pay the
interest heretofore accrued upon the bonds
issued by the Government of the United
States in aid of the construction and
equipment of the roads of said companies,
which interest said companies were by
law bound to pay; and whereas, also, it
| further appears by said report that the
Government of the United States, as the
guarantor of said bonds, has been called
upon and compelled, as such surety as
aforesaid, TO pay, and has paid, the inter-
est due on said bonds in the sum of $4.-
| SS7 $50 35, which sum said railroad COM
| panies have wholly failed and refused to
| reimburse the Government of the United
States and whereas it also appears by
said report that the Government Of the
| United States has paid in cash, out of the
Treasury, for freight and transportation
of troops over said roads, the sum Of 81
oo4 ,O74 81, nnder and 10y virtue Of certain
stIpulations by which the Government Of
the United States was allowed to retain
one Eaif of the amount due for said
freight and transportation as indemnity
for said liability as guarantor of the ulti-
mate payment of said bonds, and the half
to be paid over to said companies; and
whereas the Government of the United
States as a surety, discharging the obli-
cation Of the principal debtor, Is in law
entitled to be subrogated to all the right
and interest of said principal debtor in
and to said fund: Therefore,
Be IL resolved by The Senate and House
of Representatives Of the U5eitOd States
of AmericG an Congress assembled, That
the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he
is hereby, instructed and required hereaf-
ter to retain the whole of said fund 50 to
become due and owing by the Government
of the United States to said Pacific rail-
road companies for freight and transporta-
! ! ton of troops over said roads as aforesaid
! ! and that he apply the same, as it shall
hereafter accrue, to the extinguishment OF
! so much of the debt from said railroad
companies to the Government of the Uni
ted States for account of interest so paid
on said bonds by the Government of the
? United States as aforesaid.
On motion of Mr.. VAN TRUMP, thi
joint resolution was referred to the Com
T mittee on the Pacific Railroad, and order
ed to be printed.
