MONDAY, FEBRUARY "a. 1871,
rhe Unlon Paeiac Que.,ion.

The Union Pacific railroad company is fully
sustained, against Mr., Secretary Boutwell,, by
the u9'ional senate committee on the judiciary
Their report has been presented in the senate
by MI. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, whose knowl.
edge of law aud sagacity in treating legal ques.
tions are not likely to be doubted, even by shall.

show in the most conclusive manner, that con-
gress intended that no payment of the bonds is.

should be demanded until the expiration OF
thirty years, save as follows: ID 0nehalf Of
the charges on government business done by the
road, should be applied regularly towards pay
ment of interest; and a. when the road should
b. in Il condition TO have net proceeds, five per
cent. of the net proceeds also, should be paid to
the government on account Of the bonds and NJ
terest Beyond this, nothing can, lawfully, oe
demanded of the company, until the principal
of the bonds shall fall due, when any portion OF
the interest sill unpaid, shall be collected with
the principal. This was the contract. In this
way, the government engaged to aid the under
taking.
Having reviewed the case very carefully, and
stated the character of the contract as it stands
recorded in acts of congress, the committee say
distinctly "The secretary OF the treasury has
no right to withhold from the company more
than one half the compensation due the compa-
ny for services performed for the government"
Under no circumstances can he be authorised to
do more than this, for it is forbidden by acts Of
congress, and "tle secretary of the treasury can
not violate an express statute to enforce pay
ment." The committee add at would be
hold dealing With the statute to say that the sec
Ielary of the treasury may require what con-
gress says shall not be required" Should the
company fail to perform its part ofthe contract,
the government may proceed against it in such
manner as the law provides but while the COM
pany shall continue 10 do what it promised, no
provision Of the contract can rightfully be set
aside. Should the company fail to pay both the
bonds and the remainder of the interest, when
the bonds mature, then "the government may
rightfully take possession of the road, which
the company, meanwhile, must keep in use and
repair" The committee state the terms of the
contract just as they were understood in con-
gress at the time-just as congress intended
they should be-iust as they have been under
stood by the government, until last autumn,
WHEN the secretary of the treasury undertook
to r,pudiate them. This attempt at Reputation,
which did net scruple to violate an express stat
ute, was, as the committee say, "bold" pro-
ceeding.

THE OVERLAND MONTHLY, for March, con-
tains sixteen or seventeen articles on variety
of appropriate topics. Among those relating 10
the world on the Pacific side of the continent, are
a "a Short Stay in Acapulco" and Resources
of New Zealand" A writer in this number Of
the Overland" discusses the Pueblo Indians;
and, to show that there is no great physiological
difference between them and the wild Indians,
he compares them with the Navaios. This
writer does not appear to know that the Nava-
jos were, originally, Pueblo Indians who fought
the Spaniards with great determination, and,
finally, fed to the mountains, lost their habits Of
settled life, and became wandering IN their ways,
and even more terrible, as enemies, than the
wild Indians themselves. But they
never adopted all the customs of the
wild Indians; for instance, they have not
been accustomed to scalp their enemies. II
is stated, in the same article, that the Pueblos
are Aztecs, which can not be proved. The
Aztecs seem to have been branch of the race
which left monuments of civilization in Mexico
and Central America The Pue5los ale doubt
less branch of the same race; and if they are
not a distinct branch of that people, (which
seems most likely, it will be more reasonable TO
class them as Toltecs rather than as Aztecs.
The Aztecs came from the south, and there is no
evidence that any portion of them ever went fur
ther north than the valley of NJ xco. One must
compare the Pueblos with the Comanches, the
Blackfeet, or the Sioux, 10 find the differences
between their race and the wild Indians.

The WoMAN's JOURNAL is extremely unfor-
tunate in its criticism on the committee on cdu-
cation, in the legislature. 1t asserts that this
committee has refused to report in favor of
creating female college, at Dean academy, IN
Franklin, against D.. Deans earnest endeavors
to have such college there. 1t says truly that
D.. Dean established the academy, giving some
$500 900 for the purpose, and adds: CDR. Dean
has set his heart on having a collegiate depart
ment tor females connected with this institution,
and is ready to endow ii most generously"
Now the truth is that DR.. Dean opposed the
proposition submitted to the committee on edu-
cation. This proposition came from person
who could not reasonably ask to have the oppo-
sition of DIR. Dean disregarded. Both the COM
mittee and the legislature will, doubtless, favor
any reasonable and promising movement to es-
tablish a female college, so far, at least, as to
grant such college a charter.

The Pennsylvania coal companies have issued
an explanation" of their difficulty with the
miners, in which they show that it was
caused by their own attempt to change the
terms of an existing contract. This contract
provided that there should be no reduction of
the miners pay below the rate indicated by the
sliding scale, when coal should be three dollars
a ton at Port Carbon. But, in 1870, when coal
was below three dollars ton at Port Carbon,
the companies undertook to change the contract,
or, as they themselves say, can effort was made
to so alter the basis as to have it decline as well
as advance with the market; and our effort was
treated with contempt" 1t deserved contempt,
for there was distinct agreement that there
should be no such decline. The companies have
caused the trouble by attempting to compel the
miners to submit TO a violation of the contract
And these companies, by still insisting on the
Sliding scale" show purpose to continue the
custom of causing Strikes by means of the
difficulties to which it gives rise,

debate on the "Anglo-American question" on

"Fenian raid claims exceeded in importance
the Alabama claims. The mutual relations of

In the national senate, on Saturday, the OPP
position to subsidies that has characterized the
present congress was further eyinced by the
vote on the question of providing subsidy of
$500, 900 per year for the Australian mail steam
ship company. The amendment to provide the
subsidy was laid on the table, by vote Of
twenty-Seven to twenY-four. In the house, the
peruicious system of paying large sums to un-
successful contestants for seats was carried out,
the fortunate person being the widow of con-
