pay thus far obtained is not large, but is
considered sufficient to warrant a full re-

about thirty feet deep at the point where
they found the lower channel. 1t has cost
the company several thousand dollars in
money and about three years hard labor.

quiet during the past week and in conse-
auence locals are scarce. With our Celestial
neighbors, however, it has been a week OF
feasting and enjoyment. On Tuesday,

Chinese washermen seemed determined to
outdo his neighbour in the manner OF cele-
brating the day. Ye Ply and Sam Lee kept

Mr.. Christiancy said IL was essential
to discover when Il land grant became
operative.
Mr.. ingalls, said previous to the adj
ministration of Secretary Delano, it
had always been custom to consider
the pre-emption lands not withdrawn
from the market until notice had been
received at the local land office of
their withdrawal, and after this notice
they belonged to the railroad to which
they bad been granted.
Mr.. Sargent said there were three
points to he considered. First, when
the line of railroad is projected; sec
ond, when the surveys are completed
and the location of the road filed;
third, when notice of withdrawal of
the land and line of road is received
at the local land office. He contended
that the title did not rest on the rail-
road until the last notice had been
received at the local land office.
The Senators of the East, who sit in
their comfortable homes, ought to lis
ten to the Senators from the West,
who know what is necessary to protect
the settlers of the West from the rail-
road companies.
The bill was further advocated by
Mr.. Morton and opposed by Mr.. FIRE.
linghuysen. The discussion was con-
tinued by Messrs. Bogy, Kelly and
Others. Pending the discussion the
Senate went into executive session
