SENATOR JoHSsToS's SPEECH ON THE SUBJECT
-r OF THE TEXAS.PAcIFIC RAILROAD
| TO. day was mainly criticism OF the bill re-
ported in the interest OF that company by
MIR. Matthews and advocated by Mr.. Lamar.
He claimed to be as Jealous q friend OF the
road itself for the benefits it would confer
on the South as any one, but he commended
that Texas.P acifc Railroad Bill No. 942 was
lingeniously framed to hold out to the South
| the promise OF southern road, but was
especially chnry about giving the necessary
connecting lines to southern cities, waile il
I1eit no doubt OF northern connections. He
contended Congress bad power to transfer
1.-The franchises Of the Texas-P Pacific Company
| to another company to complete thelwork, ms rs
the acts oselsn and 1872 hadexpressIy re-
tserYed that power.
The company had failed to build Its road

The Colorado Stone Giant Sold,

The Muldoon has been sold By the
discoverer to George A. Wells, of New
York City, an old Snowman, and at
present proprietor of the New York
Aquarium, where the great curiosity"
has been on exhibition for the past five
weeks.
The Muldoon was taken from Chey-
enne to Omaha and thence through the
towns in the Missouri valley. From
Davenport, Iowa, it was shipped direct
to New York, where, rs stated, it has
been shown for five weeks. Up to the
opening in New York, the receipts had
been S13, 900 gross. Mr.. Fred Conant
declines naming the amount received
for the Muldoon, and intimates that
his father has an interest in the stone
man yet. The engagement in New
York will close in one week, and then
Mr.. Wells will take the Muldoon TO
Boston and it is not improbable to
Europe.

Til. Coming Rush to the Black Mills.

The recent heavy sales of Black Hills
gold mines to the bonanza kings Of
California and Nevada, and the WON
derful developments made in that peer
less mining district, have caused a
remarkable revolution of sentiment on
the Pacific coast, and we now feel JUS
titled in predicting an immense rush to
the Hills early in the coming spring.
A large number of letters have recently
been received in this city from old
miners who visited the Hills in '76 and
~, and after a very superficial survey
of the prospects there, returned to their
old stamping grounds. These men
write that they r making prepara-
tions to soon return to the Hills, and
as their fresh fever has spread among
their friends the tide of travel to the
Hills from the West will soon set in
and.will astonish our people with its ex-
tent. Black Killers will receive them
with open arms, for the coming thous-
ands are composed in the main Of en-
terprising and even wealthy men, of
vast experience in mining matters.

Colorado Round Ups.

The committee appointed by the Col

arrange a programme foi this years
round-ups, has agreed upon the follow
ing order, which will berecommendedto
the County Commissioners of Weld
and Arapahoe counties for adoption:
There will be two round-ups in Arap-
ahoe county. The one that starts in
the eastern part will meet at the ranch
Of George Aux, at the mouth of the
north fork of the Republican, on the
tenth day of May, and there arrange
their route of work. The west end
roundup will meet at Evans, on the
18th day of May, and from there work
up the Platte liver to Cherry creek,
then work east, following the old routes
reversed until they meet the eastern
roundup.

RESPECTIVE OFFICES FoR N YEAR
AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE
QUALIFIED" and section thirty-three
1881 of the new, OIL present, charter of
the city of Cheyenne, passed by the last
legislature, among other things pro-
yides as follows: ''In order that the
rights of all parties shall be protected,
the city government hereby created is
declared to be the legal successor Of the
city government heretofore in existence IN
said city Of Cheyenne, ,Cith all the rights,
liabilities and ~imlaunities, that of right
now or did appertain to its predecessor.
All ordinances now in force in the said
city of Cheyenne shall remain in full
force and effect until repealed or amend
ed" Section twenty-three (23) of an
ordinance passed and approved January
9th, 1878, provides as follows: "That
on the fourth Tuesday of January.
1873 the board of Trustees now in Office
shall convene at their usual place of
meeting. at which time the abstract of
the votes cast at such election shall be
opened, and the result so far as men,
hers of the council is concerned, ascer.
tanned and declared"
Such is the plain. unvarnished state
ment of the law in question. The sec.
ton of the law and the ordinance
above referred 10 are unrepealed, I'M
amended, and remain in full force and
effect until and after Tuesday, the 22d
day of January, A. d. 1873.
Hence the inquiry-Have we Il city
government? To which I answer, yes.
