WAsHiEG1OE, Thursday, March ~, 1874.
A number of members are disposed 10 favor Judge
Holrnan's proposed amendment to the McCrary
TRANSFORMATION bill, which provides that the Rail-
way Commissioners, instead Of being appointed by
the President shall be engineer officers of high
rank. who have had large experience in the con-
structon of public works. 1t is feared that If the
Commissioners were selected in the way other i'm
portant appointments are made they would either
be brokeu-down politicians, hungry Tor office, or
tools of the railroad power, which would unques-
tionably make an effort TO influence their selection
or control their action after their appointment. IT,
on the contrary the Board should be made up Of
distinguished eng ineer officers, who have had con-
trol of the disbursement Of millions Of dollars for
river and harbOr Improvements and have always
been above suspicion reproach, the country would
have confidence that the law would be faithfully
executed. The bill will not come up again until
next Tuesday unless there should be Saturday
session for debate upon it, Mr. McCrary said to-day
that he hoped 10 reach vote after two days further
discussion. The general feeling in the House upon
che snbect continues 20 be that something ought 10
