ALLEGED GRIEVANCES CARRIED TO ENGLAND
THE PROPOSED RAILWAY ENTERPRISE.
TORONTO, Dec. 28, 1874.
The Globe this morning has article on the re-
suit OF the Hon. D. A. Walkem's visit to England
to lay British Coumbia's alleged grievances at the
foot OF the throne in which II says Lord Carnarvon
recommends the construction OF q railroad in Van
couver's Island, from Esquimalt to Manaime, and
that the surveys on the mainland should be car
ned on with vigor. He proposes the construction
OF a telegraph line and wagon road ahead OF the
railroad and the expenditure oil a minimum sum
OF 81, O0O, 900 annually IN the province during the
period the work OF construction is going on. Lord
Carnarvon indorses the sentiment tnat the eastern
section, from Lake Superior to Lake Nipssing,
should not be pressed forward until the line from
the Pacific 10 Lake Superior is completed, and he
suggests December 81. 1890, as the day by which
the line so limited should be In working order.
The GLOBE adds that 1t was not proposed by the
new Pacific Railway act to enforce any limitation
OF time upon the government but we suppose Mr..
Mackenzie has no doubt the road can be built In
the period specified.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. 1874.
THE INITIATION LoOPHoLE IN THE FINANCE
BILL-AMENDMENT BY TILE HOUSE UNpAIAT-
ABLE TO THE SENATE
During the brief debate In the Senate on the
Finance bill Senator schurz vainly tried to get
Senator Sherman to say that the greenbacks called
In would, by the wording or intention OF the bill,
be absolutely cancelled and not on any pretext re-
issued. Mr. Sherman, after good deal OF fencing.
refused to commit himself TO this position, and the
understanding Is therefore that, II the Secretary
OF the Treasury saw ut to reissue such called-in
legal tenders, he would have right to do so. or
OF wild imitation. Senator Logan to-
day asked what would be the result
in the Senate II the House should SO amend the
bull as to require the cancellation OF the with
drawn greenbacks ana forbid their reissue under
any circumstances. He replied very promptly
that such an amendment could not pass the
Senate, and that 1t would kill the bill II IL was in
sisted on. 1t is now quite certain that the bill Is
intended to favor further ination OF the currency,
and 1t is equally certain that number OF leading
republicans In the House will oppose its passage.
except with an amendment absolutely forbidding
the reissue OF legal tender notes after they have
been WITHDRAWN under the provisions OF the bill.
On this point there will be vigorous debate, and
the innationists In the House will be forced to
s'show their hands,"
