n6- The country will hear with
regret, though not with surprise, that
the w-blockade on the Pacific
Railroad has been succeeded by fresh
cts formed by the melting snow, and
from which serious "wash- have
already occurred. The deposit of
snow in the mountains and on the
plains, drained by the head>waters
and tributaries of the Missouri, is
something fearful to contemplate, in
veiw of the inevitable consequences
of the Spring thaws. Unless these
should come very slowly, an unprec-
edented rise in the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi is to be unprecedented, AN
event to which cities situated like
New Orleans must look forward
with grave forebodings.

satisfaction" The experienced sage,

strugglinglthrough the Guber natorial

pomp aud circumstance of office thus
affectionately presents, in language
adapted to the newsboy's childish
comprehension, one of the most SOL

Miss Landnon was rather pretty and

United States to exact forfeiture
on mere question of time? No hon.
est man ever so deals with bis neigh
bors. ANY honest man who has deal
ings with neighbor on a contract
concerning land gives time. The
circumstances of the case, and the
conduct of the buyer, always furnish
an excuse for extension.
In the case of Wisconsin, poverty sal
at our door until after the beginniDg
of the war. We sent forth about one.
eighth of all our inhabitants to sus.
tain this Government during the war.
That furnishes a good excuse for an
extension of time. The time that was
left after the expiration of the war
was too short for the completion OF
the road. We say, then, that this is
a just measure l thought it was just
as the Ssil was originally passed by
the Senate. 1t does not do anything
but justice. The Government, when
ever they have sold foot of land to
anyone along the line of this road,
have in their contract to sell, by ex-
acting double price, promised a rail-
road. If the time be extended these
people will have the advantage of
the railroad that was contemplated
in their contract. No man in the
discharge of his duty should yield to
popular clamor. Let US do right, and
let consequences take care of them
selves. Men and parties are strong
in the condolences of the people only
as they do right and justice.
This tract of land is comparatively
wilderness, as is shown by tho num-
Der of inhabitants in the various
counties | have enumerated. The
country will not be settled for quar-
ter of century, and this railroad
will not be constructed during my
lifetime, or within that of any man
here, unless aid be given to its con-
struction. There is nothing obiec-
tionable in this bill as creating mo.

Hon, J. ALLEN BARBER,
House Of Representatives..

That is all Wisconsin has received
from the Government in aid of the
construction of railroads and much
Of that land sold for less than forty
cents an acre, and some sold as low
twenty five cents an acre.
Now, as General Paine stated a
year ago upon this floor, the Gov
eminent has received by reason of
the bonus, the price of the alternate
section being duplicated, in excess OF
the usual price, some six hundred
and fifty thousand seven hundred and
fifty dollars. That was more than
one year ago. Along the line of this
railroad the Government of the Unit
ed States has sold some two hundred
thousand acres at double the mini.
mum price, and has in its Treasury
$3.50, 600 extra money exaeted upon
the promise of this railroad being
built. Every man that bought an
acre of land along the line of that
road was promised by the United
States that be should have access to
Lake Superior by railroad. 1t wa
part of the contract.
Many members here, owing to the
general cutlery against land grants,
may be induced to vote against this
bill, altho' at the same time they say
it is just, and that it ought to pass.
Well, Mr.. Speaker, | say that what
ever is right, is expedient whatev.
er is wrong is inexpedient; and ev.
cry man should be guided by integ-
rity OF purpose and pnrity of con-
science in all his acts Now, | ask,
would it be just in the United States,
having probably at this time seven
hundred thousand dollars, or perhaps
more, of moneys that have been re-
ceived by the Government above the
minimum price, in consequence Of
this promise of a railroad to Lake
Superior-would it be right in the
