mentary institutions; and, secondly, be feels
that, if elected, be would be obliged

WASHINGTON MATTERS.

The Congressional friends of the cheap
transportation movement have abandoned all
hope of any direct legislation at this session.
The senate caucus Monday app onted a
committee of five to confer with the committee
ofthe house, with the purpose of arranging
an adjournment by the 20th of June.
Ex-senator and Gen. Robert Tombs, OF
Georgia, in company with an old citizen of
Washington, on Saturday paid visit of re-
spect to President Grant. Tombs remained
much pleased with the cordial manner in
which he was received.
General Butler, who has about regained his
usual strength, is preparing a speech on the
Sanborn contract and moiety bills. There is
no doubt that the Sanborn contract will be re-
pealed. The chances are that the third sec
ton of the moiety bill, providing for the pro-
duction Of the books in court upon the de-
claration Of the government as to the character
of the particular entries, will be stricken out,
as the sentiment in the house seems to be
strong against anything that looks like the
seizure of the books and papers of merchant.
The House did great amount Of work
Monday. he Indian Appropriation was fin
ished; the River and liarbor Appropriation
bill was passed. and the Military Academy
Appropriation bill was considered from the
outset and concluded; one third of the De-
heney Appropriation bill was gone through

eral other bills of considerable importance
were passed.

TO the Government its entire land grant, ac-
ouired and to be acquired, to be administered
by the Government and by it sold in limited
quantities to actual settlers only at 81 90 an
acre subject however, to the vested rights
and equities of third parties. For further Sc
curity, twice every year, and 10 days before
the guaranteed interest shall fall due, the
Railroad company shall pay into the United
States Treasury the net earnings OF the road
for the preceding six months, and any sum
besides necessary to make up the interest.
For further security, if the sales of the com
pany's lands and the earnings OF It's road
prove insufficient to provide for the interest
on the guaranteed bonds, the Secretary OF
the Treasury may sell enough of the $4,000
per mile retained by him to meet the interest
After that, if there shall remain surplus in
the Treasury arising from land sales and net
earnings the Secretary shall pay it over to
the Company till the end of 1883. Thereafter
such surplus shall be paid into the company
sinking fund, to extnguish the FIVE per cent.
Holders of the Northern Pacific seven thir-
ties issued prior to this act can have them ex-
changed at the Treasury, dollar for dollar, for
the fives, with the interest guaranteed from
and after July /, 1878, if the exchange be
made before that day if made after that day

GLIDING Jan. or July next following the ex-
change. The seven-thiries thus exchanged

security for its guarantee OF the hyes. 10

ed in the Treasury when the fves are issued

annum of all bonds issued under this act, to
which shall be added the SURPRISES in the
| Treasury arising from the sales OF the COM
pany's lands, and the deposit of its net earn
ings. The sinking fund is to buy up the
guaranteed fives. They are to be Cancelled in
the Treasury as bought, but the Railroad
company is to continue to pay interest on
them the same as if they were not Cancelled.
| The act extends the time for the construc.
ton by December 81, 1875, and every year
thereafter 100 miles additional shall be COM
pleted, of which at least 40 shall be west Of
the Rocky Mountains, and the whole road
finished by July A, 1884. The seven-thirtes
remain the first lien on the road, and the
rights of the holders remain untouched. The
| act restores about 90, 900, GOO of acres Of pub
lie lands to the Government to be disposed OF
to actual settlers at the price now limited by
law for adjoining public lands. The act fur
Their provides that Congress may fix and de-
termine the fares, tolls, and charges to be
paid for the transportation of persons and
property on this railroad or any part of it.

EOE1LIZATION or SOLDIERS
BOTNTiES

The House Military Committee authorized
Mr.. Gunckel to report bill to equalize sol
diers' bountes. The bill has been long and
carefully considered, the Committee having
taken testimony of the Paymaster General,
Controller, Second Auditor and others. 1t
provides for the payment of 1888 per month
for all the time of service, deduct ing bounties
already paid In case the bounty amounts to
800 or over, the soldier may, at his option,
take warrant for lG0 acres of land, for
which he may, without residence or settle
ment, obtain patent. 1t also provides that
widows or minor children Of those " no enlist
ed for period less than one year, and were
killed or died in the service, shall receive
500 bounty. This class has never been pro-
vided for before. This bill, it is believed, is
30 framed as to cover all deserving cases,
and yet is so well guarded as to make the to-
tai sum required much less than was called
for by any previous bill.
