AS to Pacific Railroads,
AsHINGToN, Oct. 29.-Among the
topics lett over from the last session of
ongress ls the settlement Of the Pacific
hallroad accounts. The disposition of
Lhe new Congress seems to be to settle
up THIS business in spirit of fairness
70 the compa MES, and it is probable that
IL VIII oe among the frat OF the i'm
portant questions to be submitted at the
regular session.
IL Ls understood that the companies
are willing and ready to consent to
mod!ncation OF the law, which will i'm
prove Inc governments condition as to
the security OF their bond claims and
which will result in dischareing them

they uld have become due lad they
consumed the time allowed by the char.
Ter on opening the road to business. that
ls the year 1876, or they will discharge
the deDt by sinking fund sooner If al.
lowed to turn in their unsoId lands in
part OF payment.
Ii neither of these offers are satisfac-
tory they are willing to refer the whole
controversy to some impartial board OF |
arbitration upon its legal and equitable |
merits. 1t appears that, acco, dug to |
Inc latter plan, 1T will require 81 500 900 |
from each company per annum to dis
charge the debt at maturity. The COM |
panles Will, under any plan, be required |
TO pay nearly 81, 900 900 each.
Either plan VIII pay the debt, though |
one proceeds upon calculating of net |
earnings, IN which the Government will |
always be at disadVant age, while the |
other proposes a fixed sum to be paid |
lt-yearly, whether the roads have
earned IT. not, land in fact whe ther there
are any net earnings or not. The one
only claims an uncertainty, the other
provides u certainty beyond doubt.
tier closing up this business it is not
believed that Congress will yery soon
invest in other railroad speculations,
The friends of the Texas Pacific are
Tery much discouraged at the lack OF
enthusiasm on the part of Northern
i'll favor OF thatroad. The talk
II the southern members is that the
Texas Pacific, il built on the plan pro-
by Col. Scott, will not beneti,
he S"uth; that extension OF the Souln-
rn Pacific Will give up the road about
he very line they will most need one,
md that for the present they want To-
al improvements.
