AS nothing can be lost, but everything
gained, by consideration of both sides OF
so important question, particularly wher
the locally unpopular side be so ably
presented as by Ger. Brisbin's two letters,
we give pace to the foregoing.
The position of the Northern Pacific
seems to be as follows, as stated by a
Washington letter of the Independents:
MIR. Lamar, of Mississippi, reported
lavorably on the Northern Pacific Rail-
Toad bill, but Mr.. Holman, of Indiana
objected to its consideration, on the
ground that it was u donation of public
property and must be considered in Com.
mi,tee of the Whole. The Chair sus
tanned the objections, and the bill went
over. Messrs. Lamar, Garfield, Kasson,
Maginnis and others appealed to Mr.. Hol-
man to withdraw his objections so that it
might be considered then, or some day
fixed for Its consideration. but Mr.. Hol-
man refused, and pitched into the land
grant policy generally, and the Northcr''
Pacific Railroad Company in particular,
declaring that the company had not lived
up to lis agreement in the past, though
endowed with the nest mui iticent grant
that had ever been extend' d 10 any com
p,ny in the world, and there was no rea-
son to hope or believe that if the asked
for extension were granted by Congress
they could or would construct the road.
That having acted in bad faith with theI
Government in the past-not having cx-
tended its road single mile westward
tor nearly four years-there was no as
surance that it would act more honestly in
the future. That at the end of the eight
years extension which this bill proposed
the Company would again come before
Congress and ask for another exten sion.
and so on indefinitely until the country
through which it passed was SO lhicKly
populated and its commercial necessities
were so great that the road would pay tor
itself in local traffic alone. MIR. Aaginni>
made an able argum nj in favor OF
the extension asked for, and
showing the necessity Of Immediate ac-
lion on the bill, but Mr.. Holman insisted
On his objection. There is now little hope
hat it vii! be considered this session, and
its barter expires in july"
Regarding the Minnesota interest, the

'The North Pacific people will com.

Library without my approval.
Section 6 of the bill provides that tn,
Clerk OF the Supreme C. urt shall r-ceiy,
for his services. under tn. bill. an annua
salary of 800; but I cannot find any pre
vision in the bill authorizing the paymen

claimed that the Territorial AUDITOR, TN.
der the present law defining his duty
would be authorized to draw his warrant
on the Territorial Treasury for the salar,
prescribed in the bill.
] do not suppose it was the in.cntion OF
the Legislature to impose the duties of
Territorial officer upon the Clerk of ,ht
Supreme Court without compensation
tut l cannot believe he can receive an,
compensation from the Territory under
the bill. should 1t become law. also
object tn the bill because it attempts to
fill Territorial office in manner not au
'horizcd by the Organic Act. The bill
attempts to pay salary OF $500 TO the
Clerk OF tn" Supreme Court for his SER
vices in charge of the Territorial Library,
and. as Librarian. he is r. quired to give
bond to the Territory. THIS officer is d.,
siSrat'd fifteen times in the bill az L:
brarian. and as Clerk of the Supreme
Court, twice only.
The office of Librarian has, since its
creation, been regarded as a Territorial
office, and lis duties were discharged by a
Territorial officer. and as it is not town.
ship. county or district Office, it can only
&c legally filled by the appointment of the
Governor and confirmation by the Lcgisla.
tive Council. The Territorial Auditor has
been ex-officio Librarian ever since the
office was created. ard why part of the
duties of the Auditor should be imposed
on another at gr' at expense to the Ter
ritory, when the present incumbent is q
gentleman in every way competent, can
NOT cOupfelehO.
The Territorial Auditor or Treasurer
can perform the duties of Librarian with.
out an increase of salary, and the addition.
al cost of lights, fuel. rent, etc., will be
but trifling. 1t is clearly capable of dem.
ons.ration that if the Library is placed
in charge of the Territorial Auditor
or Treasurer, it will cost the Territory
from $500 to $1,000 lees than ifit is
pla ed IN charge of the Clerk of the
Supreme Court, it the designs of the
trainers Of the bill are carried out
The Library will certainly be as safe
and as well managed by either of the
officers above named, as by the Clerk OF
the Supreme Court The duties of either
of said officers. now enjoined upon them
by law, are not such as to prevent either
of them from discharging the duties of
Librarian in the most efficient manner. In
the present financial condition of the Ter
