1.-THE Allegheny Valley at S125,oo0, and the
| Pennsylyaf,fa Central at S400, 600 per mile
| of main line, or $500, 900 per mile for main
| line and branches, or he would be willing
to compare any financial arrangements with
that Of Colonel Scott In the S3,00O,000 an
nual lease-money for ninety mile road and
dependencies between Philadelphia and
New ] ork, which, at six per cent, repre-
sents a capital value OF S50,00O,000 for o
monopoly, when d competing line could
have carried It through at 100000 per
mile. 49,: ~.
Mr. Huntington then said: OF all men
with whom to entrust competition for the
benefit of the people Thomas A. Scott Is. the
last. The same man who alternates his trips
to Washington to promise competing roads
out u the Treasury, with trips to New
York to patch up treaties to prevent compe-
tition where there are more people and
more tonnage passed in one day than cross
the continent in twelve months; the same
man who for months resisted the efforts OF a
competing line to cross his tracks ut Hope
well, in New Jersey, and who had torn
up repeatedly the tracks OF a road west OF
Pittsburgh, and compelled an oil-pipe line
to break It's line in crossing his road and
cart the oil over, and who this day was OPP
posing a free oilpipe bill at Harrisburg,
was an amazing champion for railroad COM
petition. His whole life had been one long
effort at combinations, rings, and pools, and
he never resorted to combinations except
when. it was good for Scott-when lie could
better himself by combining TIE people.
Mr.. Huntington further stated that he
had reason to believe that both Memphis
and Vicksburg had been promised by Scott
as the eastern terminus OF the TeXas-Pacific
road, but he was satisfied both places would
be disappointed in the result il the bill be-
came a law. The Southern Pacific wanted
the shortest route to the cotton ports, so as
to be able to carry the crude silver ores OF
California and Arizona to ship whence they
could ut low freights.
In answer to certain statements regard
ing the floating debt, &C., he read from the
same report to show that there were deduc-
tons to be made from the figures given OF
more than S10,000,000, represented by cash,
bills and accounts receivable, materials not
in the shops, and investments not Of per-
manent character. He then read kilograms
from the treasurer of the Central Pacific
Company, stating that the net floating
debt, after deducting the cash on hand
on January 1, 1878, was $1,840.0O0;
also telegram from the treasurer OF the
Southern Pacific Company, showing n bal
ance of floating debt OF S1,2J0,000, which
was mainly due to contractors, and that the
company had rails and ties sufficient to lay
a track to Maricopa wells on hand and on
the way, and would be prepared to put
five thousand men to work at once II Con-
gress gave the signal to do so.
The arguments will be concluded to-mor-
row, when the extension Of the time OF the
Mort hern Pacific land grant will come up.

from Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, January 31.-To-day is the
worst known in the memory Of the survi-
vors of the battle of Bladensburg. There
is snow and slush so deep on Pennsylvania
avenue that the police have to conduct ell
dery people to the street-cars. This fact,
no doubt, made the Senate hold very brief
session and say but little about the silver
question.
THE TARIFF BILL.
The bill Of Mr.. Wood does not 60 as far
in reduction as the free-traders desired,
but it gives as an average twenty-fve-per-
cent. reduction. The modification as to
iron and sugar, your correspondent learns,
will be advocated by the New York jour
nails, which are in favor OF tarif-reform
policy. The whole subject. however, has
to be discussed in the full. Committee OF
Ways and Means OF the House, and there
may be changes made before its final report
WHISKY AND TOBACCO.
Whiskey got black eye yesterday by the
adoption of the Foster amendment, and it
looks as il there would now be no reduction
Of the tax on whiskey. And yet while the
whiskey and tobacco interest have appeared
| so far to be identified, 1t does not follow
that refusal by Congressto reduce the tas
on whiskey means a refusal to reduce thu
tax on tobacco, for Mr.. Burchard, Of Hi
nois, who, with Mr.. Tucker, constitute TIT
subcommittee which has in charge the in
ternal-revenue question, declared to-day IL
favor Of reduction OF the tobacco tax te
sixteen cents, although yesterday he siren
uouly opposed any proposition looking t
reduction OF the tax on whiskey.
Mr.. Tucker has all along told your CORE
spondent that there was strong feeling
even among northwestern tariff-reductiet
Democrats in favor OF putting Whiskey ant
tobacco In the general bill instead Of havin.

It is the opinion OF well-informed member

RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SCOTTISH HIERARCHY.
LONDON, January 31.-A special from
Rome says the Pope has ratified the plans
for the reconstruction Of the Scottish HE
rarchy, appointed two archbishops and
four suffragans, and will hold consistory
shortly to give audience to the archbishops.
The Pope's health is improving.
1t is thought the Ultramontane cardinals
are trying to bring about such relations be-
tween the Vatican and the Italian Govern
ment as will lead to the removal OF the con-
claye from Rome.
