GRAPH CABLE STOCK AND INrEREsT-AN
BOLIVIA.
LIMA July s, 1875
The extraordinary sessions OF the Peruvian Con-
gress were opened with the usual display on
the 2lst nit. His Excellency, Mr.. Pardo made
short speech to the national legislators, inviting
their special attention 10 the three points pro-
posed by the Executive for the consideration OF
tae Senate ana House OF Representatives. and, in
a mild way, remarked TO the lawglvers that 1t
might be well TO Improve the time and hasten
through action ON the mooted questions Without
further delay.
HAPPY COMMENCEMENT.
The members OF both houses were the next day
agreeaoly surprised by the appearance OF the
Treasurer, burdened down with bank notes and
were gratihed with the reception OF tHeir pay,
then due for nearly four months. In Peru Sena-
tors Deputies alike salaried at the rate OF
ten hard dollars per day during the working term.
GOOD FOR THE EXECUTIVE.
EnllveDed by this Joyous incident, the repre-
sentatIyes immediately proceeded TO work, and
have already approved the first article OF Dill
giving the requisite power to the Executive to
raise the necessary funds Tor the completion or
the railways now In construction and contracted
Tor by Mr. Henry Meiggs. Not, however, without
considerable degree OF opposition. The oniclal
journals we're loud In their complaints after
ward regarding the venaity Of some OF the an-
tagonists in Congress to this measure.
now IT is HOPED TO OBTAIN THE MONEY.
As the readers OF the HERALD have been In
formed, the government was empowered In the
bill referring TO the appropriation OF the nitrate
manufactures and grouncs to negotiate Tor
special loan OF e3,OOo,000 TO be appheG toward
completing railways contracted Tor. This sum
would fail far under the mark, and it is probably
the intention OF the Executive to devote certain
portion OF the advances expected on the new
Ruane arrangement to the prosecution OF these
WORKS.
