Objected that the State charters granted to
railroads are contracts, inviolable under the
Constitution. the answer of the Report is three
fold: I. Tho prohibition against the passage
of laws impairug the validity OF con-
tracts does not apply to Congress but
only TO the States. {" No state shall
&" pass any law ctc.) 2. The arrangements be-
tween the companies by which their lines ex-
tend through different States are their own
voluntary acts, with VIII ich the States had
nothing to do. 8. The charters must have
been given and accepted with the understand
ing that whenever the roads became channels
of inter State commerce they would pass under
the paramount power Of the General Govern
ment. As to the means which may be employed
to regulate commerce. tho Report concludes,
after quoting Chief-Ju5tice Marshalrs inter-
probation of the last clause OF Sec 6, Art. l.,
of the Constitution, that Congress is not re-
stricted to tie use of such means as are
Indispensable or absolutely necessary. but
that all means are authorized which are APP
proprate and plainly adapted TO facilitate the
execution of the power to regulate commerce,
and which are not prohibited in the Constltu-
ton or in violation OF some fundamental
principle.
These doctrines established, it Is not dih-
cult to reach the consequence that Congress
may appropriate money to construct rail-
road, or incorporate a company to construct
one, and that it may i'll the exercise OF the
right of eminent domain take private property
for the right of way, or even take for the
public use any existing railroad or canal, in
either case paying fair compensation for
the private property so taken. In short, the
Committee find no constitutional difficulties
in the way of CONGRESSES doing almost any
thing it plcases, and the transportation prob
lem resolves itself into a mere question oil

The fireleSs locomotives have now been in use two
months on portion of that road OF about three
miles. They have resulted in gain over horses OF
twenty minutes to the round trip. They are more
manageable than horses, being more readily stopped

miles aud get back to the starting point with ~ to

penses of road with these engines one-fourth OF
that of equal conveyance with mules. III these
figures are at all correctness the days Of horse

Whatever may become of the various schemes
for expanding or contracting the currency,
now before Congress, it is tolerably certain
that there will be a redistribution of the Ma
tional currency. Representative Kellogg
of Connecticut. in his speech on Sat
urday, favored such plan provided
the South and West have the capital TO
take up the surplus which is claimed for those
sections. This view of the case has generally
been held by majority in Congress. The
House Committee on Banking and Currency
have authorized the preparation of bill which
will provide for redistribution; this will give
sboSt $2J,OOO,0QO 70 the West and South.

Gen. Sherman, who seldom has any reserva-
tions of opinion, has been telling the House
Military Committee what he thinks about In
dian affairs He does not favor the so-called
Peace Policy, and considers that Gen. Candy
was sacrificed to it. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that the General does not agree with
any branch of the Government that has had
anything to do with the recent management
of Indian affairs.
