The Case Of the Union Pacific Railroad
before Wilson's Committee.
The Cotton Tax Bill POstpOned-The
Louisiana Election Case.
THE U.P r. r. BUSINESS.

THE U. p. r. X. BUSINESS.
Oliver Ames, former President of the
Union Pacific railroad, was sworn. He
was asked what it cost to build that por-
tion of the road in Oakes Ames's con-
tract, but was not able to reply. He was
examined at length regarding subserip-
tions to the capital stock of the Union
Pacific, and alsO relative to subscriptions
authorized to be made by the trustees of
the Credit Mobilier to the stock of the
Union Pacific. During the examination
he said Oakes Ames's contract could not
have been obtained so low as it was if
the completed portion of the road had
not been included in the contract.
Question-Did you not, by virtue of a
contract with Oakes Ames which in
cluded one hundred and thirty-eight
miles of road already completed, derive
large profit from the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company, and was not that profit
made the very instant the contract was
assigned by the trustees?
Answer-It was.
Questionable not the Credit Mobilier,
a few months after, declare large divi-
dend?
Answer-We did.
QuestiOn-Were not all the assets out
of which the Credit Mobilier made divi-
dends, obtained from the time of assign
ment, until the dividends were made?
Answer-They were.
Question-Was not a large portion of
the dividend derived from an extension
of the contract over that part of the road
already built and accepted by the Gov
eminent?
Answer-It probably was.
Question-What did the one hundred
and thirty-eight miles of completed road,
included in the Oakes Ames contract,
cost?
Mr.. Swann-Did you represent to the
Government parties in authority that
the portion of road referred to was the
finished road, and fully equipped; and
did you not receive your bonds accord
ingly, in conformity with the law?
Answer-The Commissioners inspect
ed every twenty miles of road and re-
ported its completion to the Govern
ment. The road was equipped for run
ming purposes but not to the extent of
accommodating travel. The Govern
ment accepted the road as finished, and
the bills were paid.
.QuestiOn-Do you know how much
money was spent for engine-houses, en-
gines, ETC., after the road was accepted?
Answer-A good many hundred thou
sand dollars.
Mr.. Hoar- Did the contract with
Oakes Ames bind him to do anything
more than TO work a certain portion of
the road and to take an additional sum
of money in payment for it?
Answer-The contract bound Oakes
Ames to furnish certain number of
engines and cars, which he did.
Mr.. Shallabarger-Was not all the
machinery and rolling-stock, at the rate
of seven thousand five hundred dollars
a mile, included in Oakes Ames's con-
tract, already included in the presiding
contract?
Answer think the required amount
of rolling-stock had not been put on the
road at the time Of concluding Oakes
Alnes's contract.
The committee adjourned till Mon
day.

Why Not Pay 1t All Back J

The Unj0a and Murdock having dem
onstrated that in their opinion, the city
tax Of 1871, as assessed by a Republican
city administration, is wholly illegal, be-
cause of blunder in the Uaj9A Office in
not publishing the notice to taxpayers the
legal number of times, it seems to us that
the Uajon, Murdoch, 7. Gregg q Co,
ought to compliment Bailey Davenport for
voluntarily paying some six or seven hun
bred dollars of this Illegal tax when he
could have got off without paying a cent.
Hull paid nothing at all, and some 400 to
500 other citizens are still delinquent. To
equitably carry out the principle contended
for by p Gregg & Co., they ought now to
petition the Council to return GHthe money
received on the assessment of 1871, and
cancel all the uncollected taxes, and mot
make fish of one and flesh of another. y
If man is to have his taxes equalized
after the time has expired when he cal
legally do so, let us go back to the begin
ning Of the government, and have justice
done 20 all. If Hull IS to get off withou
paying a cent why should not other PEG
pie have their money back If some 40t
or 500 other citizens are to 60 free because
a Republican collector neglected his duty
and a Republican city printer committed
''blunder, why should not those who di,
pay have their money back? Why max,
FISH of one and flesh Of another" Eli

We rather pity those benighted people
who never see any other paper but the
Rock Island Union, for the reason that
they are SO often misled and then left in
the dark. Il is the habit of that newspa-

draw its head under its she'd, say nothing
and leave its readers to believe the lie.
On Sunday that paper uttered the mon
strous falsehood that a blunder was com
United in TUE ARGUS office, in not pub
fishing the notice to taxpayers the neces-
sary number of times, and gave that as a
reason why the ease against Hull was not
appealed by Murdoch. On Monday We
showed that the JaioD and not THE Ar

Mr. Donsn, Of the Lexington Mo Cau-
cdsjan, proposed the following resolution
to the Missouri Editorial Association, aud
it was adopted by that body at its recent
meeting:
l. That newspaper office is business
establishment by which editors and print
ers must make living.
>. That man has the same right to
walk into grocery store and order a bar
rel of sugar or sack of coffee, or into a
law office and demand a legal opinion
from its occupant, or into an undertaken S
aud request "a coffin, without expecting to
pay for their respective wares or services,
as into newspaper Office and demand the
use Of its brains and muscle and type,
without thought Of recompense.
3. That hereafter all personal or politi
cal matter, having for its object the pro
motion of individual fortune or ambition,
shall be treated exactly as other business
matter, and charged, at the ortion of pub,
| fishers, as editorial advertising.
| l. That dead beating political per
sona and commercial on the Missouri
press, is played out,
5. That any editor or publisher who
fails to carry ont these resolutions IN the
letter and spirit shall cease to be regarded
as a member of this association.
