Congressional News.

WASHINGTON, February lst.-Lut-
trell will tomorrow introduce II bill
for the protection of settlers, providing
that whenever any railroad company
is granted permission by Congress to
change its location, all land originally
granted to it shall be forfeited and be-
come subject to the homestead and
pre-emption laws.
A caucus of Republican Senators to-
day adopted preamble and resolu-
tions on the transportation question.
They will be reported in the Senate to-
morrow. The preamble sets forth the
power of Congress to regulate inter-
State commerce, and in so doing to
provide for the Improvement or crea-
tion of channels of commerce; that
among the improvements now neces-
sary are the improvement of the Mis-
sissippi river, including connection
with the lakes [?I by means of the
Fox and Wisconsin rivers, the inn
proyement of the Illinois and Henne-
pin canal, between lakes Superior and
Huron, Erie and Huron;the improve
ment of the Ohio, Kanawha and Ten
nessee rivers, that the Committee on
Commerce be instructed to insert in
the River and Harbor bill an applica-
ton for such sums as can be judicious-
ly and economically expended during
the next fiscal year, upon the improve
ments above indicated, looking to the
improvements above indicated, look
ing to the speedy completion and the
wants of our rapidly increasing inter-
State commerce.

and will take this stock, if men of
moderate means do not come in for a
share. The road will be built, and
the old fogies, GROWERS and tricksters
mas just as well save their credit by
coming in and aiding an enterprise
which is worth more to this country
than anything which has ever been
presented to them before. There are
rich laurels awaiting those who now
enter into this enterprise and push it
forward to completion, but woe be to
them who doggedly hold back and try
to retard its progress. The first ship
load of iron for this road is promised
to arrive in May. Our operators must
be active to be ready to receive it by
that time.

Texas Pacific Railroad Prospects.

The threatening aspect assumed by
the Southern Pacific Company towards
the Texas Pacific in Congress, seems
to have frightened the prospects of
Col. SCoTT's bill. 1t give Col. SCOTT
the opportunity to expose the designs
of the Southern Pacific Company, and
at the same time convince everybody
that there was no collision between
| him and the other transcontinental
road. The object of the Southern Pa
cific Company to monopolize the rail-
road interest ON the Pacific Coast was
brought out in the most glowing man
ner, and the way it was done fixes the
conviction in the mind of all the peo-
pie, that if we have Southern road,
We will have competition also-this
gives tower OF strength TO the Texas
Pacific bill, now before Congress. The
necessity for another road across the
continent, the fairness of the bill pre-
sented, and the universal desire of the
people to grant some aid to the South
to compensate for the vast amount
that has been granted to Northern
roads will, we have no doubt, carry the
bill through Congress with little op-
position. 1t may be whitfield down a
little, and additional guards thrown
around it to protect the Government
against any possible loss, bat sufficient
aid will be given to enable the conn.,
pany to progress with their road until
they reach the Pacific Coast. If a
vote of the people could be taken on
the subject, we believe four-fifths OF
the whole people would vote for it.
We are glad to see the San Francisco
| Bulletin, one of the most anti-subsidy
papers in the United States, inclined
| to favor the passage of Col. SCoTT's
bill. Indeed all sensible, fair-minded
journalists favor it. The road is me-
cessity to the Government, and indis-
| pensable to the commercial interest OF
| both sides of the continent. Besides
| all this, the amount of money that
would be brought to America and put
in circulation by the passage of this
bill would brighten up our financial
affairs wonderfully; and then the
1
out of work, destitute, and supported
at public expense, that would be put
to work on good wages, would be re-
lief to the nation. Besides the ten
thousand hands occupied in the con-
struction of the road, fifty furnaces
and many rolling mills, that have shut
down, would Immediately start and
give occupation to ten thousand hon.
est, hard-working men. Great as
these advantages are there is one
other benefit to be derived from the
building of this road infinitely above
them all. That road will open up the
richest territory on the continent and
in the most delightful climate, and
furnish homes for millions of people
who are now tenants in cabins where
| they are one-third of the year
| blockaded with snow-banks and ici-
cles. PEEL.

whole amount both principal and in

Suicide of Lady I'm santa Cruz.

SANTA CRUZ, February 1st.-About
4 o'clock this afternoon, Mrs. Kingsly
was found by her husband hanging by
the neck to cross-beam in their own
house. Her shawl was used for the
purpose. Her husband had been abb
sent about an hour. The lady was
highly esteemed, and the only cause
that can be assigned for the rash act is
the fact that she has been sick for the
past two years without hope of recov-
cry. The Coroner will hold an inquest
tomorrow.

Railroad.

The Los Angeles and Independence
Railroad seems to be q substantial
verify. We saw letter from an in
terested capitalist, resident of San
Francisco. His letter is very encour-
aging. He will start East in few
days, and while there will procure iron
for the road, provided the people of the
counties through which the road is to
run will subscribe the amount of stock
promised (three hundred thousand
dollars). OF course this will be done,
and this settles the matter SO far as the
building of this road is concerned.
And it settles many other matters.
The permanent prosperity of all the
counties through which it runs
freight and passage at low rates-ulti-
mate connection with some Atlantic
road-a good market for all the pro-
ducts of the Southern part of the State
"a wharf to deep water, by which we
will evade the enormous expense of
hghterage and the handling freight
twice, and perpetual dividend of
large per cent. to the stockhoiders-all
these matters are settled provided our
citizens will take the stock to the
amount of $300,000. OF course they
will take it. Every man, woman and
child in the three counties is inter-
ested, and If each man will subscribe
one-half the amount that this road
will add to their wealth, we will have
double the amount of stock that we are
asked to subscribe. The building of
this road will furnish active and prof
liable employment for 500 of our
laboring men. All our laboring
men can take one or more
shares of stock each, and will
do If the matter is properly brought
before them. One hundred hands
were engaged in this city yesterday
to go to work on the road, and if the
laboring men will subscribe stock they
can work out their assessments, and
never miss it-only fifteen per cent.
every three months. Many of these
working men will take several shares,
and all Of them can take one share.
1t is the best Investment they can
make, besides it will secure to them q
situation, and profitable employment.
That is just what we want. 1t is a
good thing and ought to be divided
among the people. A few men can

The Two Companies.

In discussing theproposition to give
subsidy aid to Southern overland
railroad, the HERALD has assumed
that under any and all circumstances,
outside of the Government building
tbs road itself, the much-desired COM
peJitive line could not be secured.
This assumption is based on the clear
business proposition that railroad
companies, like individuals will do all
they can to advance their own inter-
ests; and reasoning from this point,
we have thought that the great desid-
eratum-a Southern overland railroad
would be sooner attained by giving
to the Southern Pacific Company like
aid with that guaranteed to the Texas
Pacific Company. The House Com
mittee have announced that they
would report against aiding the South
ern Pacific with subsidy to the extent
of dollar, while it is known that the
members of the com mittee and great
many Congressman are desirous of
fastening the completion of South
ern transcontinental road by subsidiz-
ing the Texas Pacific Company. We
regard the question now settled, so far
as the Southern Pacific's claim is con-
cerned, and we see no reason why
Governor DowNEy's proposition, made
at the last meeting of the Chamber o1
Commerce, to memorialize Congress
in favor of the Southern Pacific,
should be acted upon. Nothing seems
clearer than that Congress is fully re-
solved never, in the name of subsidy,
to place another dollar of the peoples
money within the grasp of railroad
companies controlled by Messrs.
STANFORD, CRoCKER & Co. 1t seems
that the main business to be looked
after now is to guard the bill giving
subsidy to the Texas Pacific, so that
the builders and future managers OF
that road can neither compromise, sell
or combine with any other road OF
company. If the bill can be so drawn
that ScoTT will be compelled to build
the road through to the Pacific Ocean,
and maintain it free from all control
or influence of the Central Pacific
managers, it will be great thing fol-
the nation. In communication
written by Colonel PEEL, printed in
another column, 1t is assumed that
SCOTT has already pledged himself to
do this. We are aware that he gave
such assurances before the committee;
but in a matter of such great impor-
tance, involving such an immense
outlay of money, verbal promises are
not sufficient guarantee. The obli-
gation must be part of the contract,
and it should be so incorporated that
upon the least violation, the entire
road would revert at once and forever
to the Government. If this can be
done, we shall at least secure an over
land road which is not controlled by
the managers of the road we now
have.
