In view of the fact that the Sub Committee
of Five reported to the Committee on Pacific
Railroads as to the Tom SCOTT subsidy bill,
it is pertinent to recall the resolution passed
in the early part of the session at the in
stance of Mr.. Holman:
ReSolved. That, in the judgment of this
House. in the present condition of the fnau-
cial affairs of the Government, no subsidy in
money, bonds, public lands, Inducements or
by pledge of the public credit, should be grant
ed by Congress to associations or corporations
engaged or proposing to engage in public or
private enterprises; and that all appropriations
from the Public Treasury ought to be limited
at this time to such amounts only as shall be
imperatively demanded by the public service.
This resolution received a vote of 223
members in favor and only 33 against it. Its
language is clear and unmistaksbe. 1t stands
almost unanimous protest against the
whole subsidy business. If the Pacific Rail-
road Committee adopts and reports the find
ing of their Subcommittee, it should be a
sufficient answer TO turn to Mr.. Holman's
resolution and recall members TO the policy
to which they have pledged themselves.
There ought TO be no need of debating the
question.

HAMBLEToN, clerk of the ways and means

produce proof that his child was named after

Tribune responds with abundant evidence. 1t

as follows:

IT is said that an attempt will be made in
the Senate 70 amend the Pike interest bill by
making 8 per cent. the legal rate of interest.
1t strikes us that this proposition is open TO
all the objections that hold against a lower
rate. Indeed, there are greater objections.
Eight per cent. being recognized as the legal
rate, lenders will stick for it who are now
willing to sell the use of their money the
same.as the merchant sells -four. Flour may
be worth six or ten dollars barrel, but pass
law declaring the price to be eight, and no
more flour will be sold for six. So the banks
which are now lending money for seven and
three-tenths per cent, under law making
eight per cent. the legal rate, will immedi-
ately begin to charge the borrower eight per
cent. because the law says that eight per
cent. is the interest fixed by law. Better let
the thing alone.

TSt. Louis Republican,
We understand that some of the friends OF the
Texas Pacific road are opposed to pushing the
bill TO a vote this winter, assigning as reason
that the Presidential election is so near at hand
that it would be policy to keep this question out
of the CANVASS And, besides, the members OF the
present Congress want 1t put over until after the
nominations are made, which will be some time
next fall.
We DO hope that such triiing considerations
will not defer this important question any longer
If members Of Congress have not the courage TO
vote for proposition that they think is right Tor
fear they may offend the croakers, who always
erIticise and find fault with the votes OF their
members on all important questions, let them
step down and out, and the people will I'LL their
duty. The question IS to whether railroad
should be built to the Pacific ocean on the twenty
second parallel has been discussed, and by some
of the ablest minds this country ever produced,
with this question to- day they are likely to be
at any time in the future.
The national railroad convention that met here
in November was represented BY twenty-seven
of the sblest of the kind that ever ASSEMBLED.
They urged Congress to pass the bill that is now
before them at once; not TO consider IL this session
and pass II the next-but said, in unmistakaole
is Disgusting. In q commercial sense, as It never
hiss before. The monopoly that now controls the
trans-c0ntinental commerce OF the country never
was SO eXactipg and oppressive as now. The
Mexico more keenly than ever before. That they
cannot be obtained, only by the building OF this
road, all admit. In fact the people expect some
relief from Congress this session, and this Is the
only measure before IL that ofets any: Pass the
Texas Pacific bill, and none need be afraid of the
cFOakeTF,

he AMERICAN STAKEHOLDER OF TO
DAY.

Scmc two weeks ago Mr.. Springer, Of
I.acIs, introduced into the House "a bill
.. 70 prevent American citizens from hold
3. ;ng slaves in foreign countries. 1t pro-
v'es that ''citizcns Of the United States,
temporarily residing and doing business
q n foreign countries, are hereby prohib-
tied from owning, leasing, buying and
- selling, or IN any manner tratiicking IN
g persons held as slaves in any such cuun-
q t-ies or their dependencies, and that all
" citizens of the United States violating
the provisions of this act by themselves,
liner agents or their employees, shall be
8. deprived of all claims to protection from
81 the Government OF the United States for
g wrongs committed or losses suffered by
them in such foreign States, countries or
~ their dependencies on account of such
" slaves" Human slavery, with all its
dire and demoralizing concomitant evils,
has been abolished from within the bound
ary lines Of the United States, and upon its
ruins the wisdom of our statesmen has
reared that necessary and splendid legisla-
tive creation which bestows equal rights
upon al, irrespective of race, color or con-
dit;on. This great accomplishment was
secured 10 the Republic by an internecine
war, the traces of which will not soon be
Cbl:terated from the face of the land. The
impress of the sanguinary struggle is SO
deeply carved in those inde~tructible wit
nesses which the people gaze upon in our
ten thousand suddenly constructed Gene
te-ies. in our almost countless band of
willows and orphans, in the thrilling story
OF the picket watch, the weary march, the
long fatigue, the sad and terrible sufferings
within the confines of prison pens. the
awful carnage of the battle field. the grand
and brilliant victories, and in the tri-
umpaant return of conquering heroes, that
II makes page for history which the tooth
o. time cannot erase. Ali of which is the
direct result of human slavery, and bears
stirring lesson to all mankind.
But the import of Mr. Springer's bill
proves conclusively that the lesson has not
been needed by some of the citizens Of this
Government. Its words tell us by their
significance that many Americans, through
a morbid and aTaricious desire, are linking
their fortunes TO the abominable and hellish
doctrine of human bondage, which is re-
pugnant alike to every law of God and
nature; that some of them are to day
claiming the protection Of flag which has
manunitted four million men, and at the
sane time are themselves engaged in the
pefar;ous traffic Of the flesh and blood Of

The Department has noticed, with regret,

quently as to harass The men and create dis
content, without adding to the efficiency of
their ships or the maintenance of discipline.
The Department, without taking more de-
cided action at present, would suggest to COM
manding officers to try the experiment of for
bearance and consideration for the feelings of
the men, and endeavor to induce cheerful
obedience by granting indulgcnccs, instead of
coercing reluctant obedience through fear of
punishment.
If these means fail then they can resort to
punishment, for the Department does not de-
sire nor intend that the efficiency of the navy
shall be impaired by any undue leniency, nor
will it sanction any willful disregard of law

the House very closely. Yesterday, as he
passed out Of the gallery, with flushed face and
an expression OF deep disgust lingering around
the corners Of his mouth, lie was heard to say:
Game here Confederate Democrat, but, as
sure as the days arc made up Of light and the
nights OF darkness, so sure will vote the Repub-
Iican ticket next fall, even though Senator
Pinchback were the Presidential candidate.
There is no leadership, no brains, no policy of
action, among the Democrats here, and it seems
impossible for them to have these qualifca-

nor can they. It's little the worse whccpity-
