| ate many members who were more faithful
| to them than to the people.
Mr.. Beck declared that the whole object
at the bottom of this agitation was scheme
| for the benefit of a combination of first
mortgage bondbolders, who would
ForecIOse the Mortgage,
buy in the road and cheat the Government
and all the small bondholders and stock
holders.
Mr.. Wood advocated Mr.. Hibbard's
amendment. ..s
Mr.. Kerr in answer to Mr.. Beck denied
that the first mortgage bondholders could
foreclose their mortgage and sell out the
whole property of the companies. Con-
gress had reserved to itself complete pow
er over these roads and the bonds had been
issued and purchased subject TO that re-
servation.
Mr.. Beck repeated his apprehension that
to sue the Pacific Railroad companies for
sixteen millions dollars interest due to
the Governpent would be to
Drive them into Bankruptcy,
aud throw the roads into the hands of the
first mortgage bondholders. That was the
officially which he wanted to avoid.
Mr.. Kendall, of New, supported Mr..
Hibbard's amendment, and declared against
the extortions and expressions practiced by
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
MIR. Garfield desired the House to act so
as on the one hand not to destroy these
great corporations, and on the other hand
not to make them oppressive on the rights
Of the people. Ten years ago both political
parties were vieing with each other to see
which should most earnestly advocate the
building of Pacific railroads. He hoped
that both political parties would now vie
with each other in seeing that perfect jus
tice was done to the companies as well as
the people.
Messrs. Holman and Wood denied that
the Democratic members had sustained the
act of 1864.
Mr.. Wheeler remarked, in response to
Mr.. Willard, that the Pacific Railroad COM
panies had until 1873 to complete their
roads.
The discussion having closed, the COM
mittee proceeded to vote. The first vote
was taken on Mr.. Wheeler's amendment,
and it was rejected, 46 to 81.
Mr.. Donan moved to strike out all of
Mr.. ,Hibbard's amendment after the word
repealed" so as 70 confine it to the repeal
of the section of the army appropriation
bill of 1871. Adopted; Sc to 76.
Mr.. Hibbard's amendment as amended
was adopted with division. 1t reads:
"That the 9th section of the army appro-
prlation bill, approved March 3, 1871, is
hereby repealed"
Mr.. Merriam moved an amendment "that
no judgment of the Court of Claims shall
be paid on account of monies seized from
so.called Confederate States"
After short discussion the amendment
was rejected.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. After some contest
over the question of raising the salaries of
clerks employed il the House, the House
without coming to final vote on that ques-
ton or the Pacific Railroad question or any
of the amendments adopted in Committee
of the Whole, adjourned.

. A TANNED ELEPHANT.
The Mortal Coli OF OId Romeo Preserv.
From the Chicago Times.

From the Chicago Times.
Romeo died on the occasion of his last
| visit to this city; the caravan Of which he
was the bright particular star, after gather
ing many shekels, passed on to other cities,
but the giant king Of the forest was left by
| the wayside. To-day, the chronicle shows
that, though lost TO sight, Romeo has not
been forgotten. The noble guild of tan
ners have been labOring at his hide, and at
last have succeeded in tanning it after the
most approved fashion. The tasle was
harculean one for the dimensions Of Re-
meo's body were of no mean character.
His hide measures no less than 212 square
feet, and weighed 743 lbs, and its thickness
averaged three-quarters OF an inch. The
Union HIDE and Leather company, under
the direction of Mr.. 9. e.. Hirseh, under
took the work of tanning, and have success-
fully brought it TO completion. 4 body Of
workman, numbering Is men, constantly
devoted their attention to it, the hide re-
qUiring their united exertions to handle
while simmering in the watts.
Romeo will take place in the collections
of the Academy Of Science forthwith; and
there will continue TO be "the observed Of
all observers" His long march has ended,
and the ring master for him will no longer
crack the whipe his antics are hIshed, AID
all that is left Of bis gallant 600 tricks is an
empty void. His hide shows the scars won
in many a fight with circumstance, but
thanks to the tender services of his present
possessors, will be prevented from suffering
further harm. The piacard is already writ
ten which will be attaehsd to bis side, It
reads simply, "Hands off,"

six children on their way to school were
frozen to death. A dispatch from Furgus
Falls reports seven more bodies found there
and estimates the number of victims within
a radius of twenty-five miles at fifty.
Among the most terrible incidents is that
of man who went fer doctor to attend
his wife, and was frozen to death Tn the
way home. Next day the doctor reached
the house and found the woman had given
birth to a child. Both were frozen to death.
A gentleman who had experience of the
storm estimates the loss of life and property
greater than that caused by the famous
Sioux massacre of 1862. The storm here
at midnight is still raging furiously.
