WASHINGTON, Feb. O. The Secre.
tary Of War will to-day transmit to
the House as answer to the Jencks
resolution of January 10, 1876, re-
questing careful and exact survey
of the distance on the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific Railroads be-
tween Council Bluffs and Sacra-
mento, the report of Capt. Twiling
of the engineer corps, to whom the
duty was assigned. The report
shows the length of each of these
railroads to be somewhat greater
than was shown by the original
measurement upon which subsidies
were issued. The amount of the
error is for the Union Pacific one
mile and a quarter and for the Cen
tral Pacific little less than o mile.

about to sail for Germany, when

tempted to sell them bogus bonds.
The Californians were about con.
summating the purchase when po'

we'll known offenders.
New YORK, Feb. g. The Tribune.
Washington special says that GRAM
visited the treasury department this
morning for the purpose of collect

desires to use in his forthcoming
special message on an early resump'
ton of specie payments. The Pre-
sident held a short conference with
Assistant Secretary Conant on the
subject. On his return to the Execu.
tive Office he began the formal pre-.
paration of the message. To-day, in
conversation, the President said he
hopes to have his draft of the
message prepared in time to submit
it to the cabinet to morrow. He had
not determined when be would send
the message to Congress, but would
decide that after consulting with his
cabinet advisers. The President
read carefully the numerous com
ments on his proposition for an ear
ly resumption of specie payment.
Another special to the same paper
says that the decision in the Florida
case will be reached by Tuesday.
An important discovery has been
made in regard to the legal require.
ments of the certificates and auth
entication of the returns of the Pre-
sidential electors. The act of 1872
reads that the executive authority OF
each State shall cause three lists OF
the names of the electors of such
State to be made and certified, and
to be delivered to the electors on OF

the lists of their votes. In the re-
