FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.

| WAsHISGToS, April 10.
| SENATE. The Southern Pacific Railroad
| bill was taken from the table.
| MIR. Harlan continued his argument upon
the necessary adequate protection for the
| rights OF settlers as against extravagant loca-
tons of public lands to railroads. The ex-
pediency OF further land grant to the North
ern Padifc Railroad was discussed until 3
O'Clock, by Steward and Howard in favor of
| the bill.
Mr.. Harland held that the land grants al
ready made to the Northern Pacific Railroad,
were sufficient to secure the building of the
road as rapidly as is consistent with the in
terests OF the country; that in the meantime
the government would have advantage of the
Union Pacific road, to make good its mort
gage; and further that this new grant would
operate as lieu upon the lands before the
| company acquired title.
| Mr. Stewart endeavored to show that the
argument was against the very existence OF
the road, and asserted, that except on the
western end from Portland to Pugent Sound,
| no extension of the original land grant was
now contemplated.
| Mr. Ramsay said, that apart from other
considerations, the Importance of the pro-
posed road in facilitating military operations
against the Indians, was sufficient incentive
to grant literally.
Mr.. Harlan denied having uttered one word
in opposition to the enterprise itself.
| Mr.. Howard replied to the intmation, that
the construction of the Northern Pacific Rail
| road would diminish the value of the govern
ment's claim against the Union Pacific by a
| division of the business from the latter to the
| former. He thought the tendency of that ar
| gument was to encourage the Union Pacific
| as monopolizer of the business. The North
| ern Pacific Company had never received one
| dollar in subsidy from the government but
relied entirely upon their private means and
public lands for the company in their vast en-
terprise, The bill simply made good the
quantum of sections appropriated in the COM
pany charter. The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE. In the Committee of the Whole on
the Tariff bill but one paragraph was passed.
| The Committee then rose and the Senate
amendment to the Deficiency bill was taken
up.
! Mr.. Kerr remarked that the bill had been
increased by million and half dollars since
it left the House.
| Mr.. Dawes Of Mass. repeated the statement,
with the remark that the whole amount was
about four millions dollars less than any gen
eral deficiency bill for several years.
| Mr.. Judd of Ill. appealed to the House to
concur in the amendments
| Mr.. Dawes explained the object of the Com
! mittee in recommending non concurrence in
| the amendments.
The amendme nts non-cOncurrcd in were
| referred to Il committee of conference, con-
| sisting of Dawes, Sargent and Brooks of n.
Y, and the House adjourned.

Some hungry person or persons on Friday
night entered the shed of Messrs. J. r. Means

with great deal of patience scooped up
barrel of -four and carried it off, leaving the
empty barrel behind. The -four was scatter
ed from the shed up Court street, on the side
walk, but as a good many people go up that
way it has as yet been impossible to fix the
crime upon any particular person, the person
who took it undoubtedly being the flour OF
