ATTORNEY General Akerman has de-
eided that the Pacific railroad must pay
the interest on the bonds as fast as it ac-

umphed. Not only will the railroads
charges for government transportation be
made to offset this interest, but pains will
be taken to send all the government
freight over the road.
