THE Y PACIFIC.
Argument Of Gov. J. G.. Brown Before The
House Committee on Pacific Railroads.

WAsHINGToX, Jan. 26-The argu.
ment OF the Texas Pacific Railway
question was resumed before the House
Commute on Pacific Railroads today.
Mr. Stores having flushed bis state
ment of the legal points on which the
Southern Pacific OF California desired
The right to build through 10 Fl Paso,
Gov. J. e. Brown, Vice.President of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad, dis
cussed fully the broad, general question
which had governed the policy OF the
Government in aiding the construction
of commercial highways. In this con-
F. necliOn he argued that all the statesmen
OF the school of strict constructionistI
with Calhoun at the head, had main.
tanned the ab.Olute power OF the Gov
eminent to extend aid, aud that n o.
the inducements TO the recognition of
The Gadsdem treaty had been the acqui'
sitiOn ofthe territory through which ran
The natural route for a trans.continen-
tai railroad. lie maintained that
by a decision OF the United
States Supreme Court, Congress
had full power to au horizo the cree
ton of bridges, and that tue Southern
Pacific of California had no authority
to bridge the Colorado, so a. 10 come
eastward, the Texas aud Pacific
alone having that authority. lie then
discussed the various bills presented
by Stephens, House, Chalmers aud
wills, aud showed that they all favor
ed the construction Of competitive limo
between the Mississippi river and the
Paci C ocean, differing only as TO the
branches to be built from the terminu:
OF the Tevas and Pacific to the river
also that none of them permitted
a single bond tn DO issued
by tho companies except &c
represent actual cost, which could no
exceed 1913 600 per mile that the TexaI
Pacific had built already 4I5 miles
without a dollar aid from the Govern
ment. and justice required the exten
sion Of the aid asked by 1t, as the Uniol
and Central Pacific Companies had re-
ceived iuy.four million dollars o
bonds, dfiy-lhree million acres of land
the Northern Pacific torty.seven nil
lion acres of land and the Texas Pa
cifc only eighteen million acres, n
portion of which could tho latter re
ceive until after 1t had built a thou
sand miles through the State OF Texas
The Committee then adjourned t
Thursday morning, when the argu
ments will DO concluded.

Tue HERALD has never attempted to
discuss this tax as a principle. We are
as much opposed to 1t II the city can
get along without II, as any Of our
merchants can be. All taxation is OBJ
~iecliOnable aud burdensome, and our
Board of Mayor and Aldermen would
certainly levec no taxe-, If The City
Government could be carried on for
nothing.
This is the point we inside on the
Cotton Exchange, and we still thiak II
is a good one. The d ard Of Mayor
and Aldermen unanimously re-
quesied of our Legislators that
the right to levy a privilege tax should
be left In their hands a. the representa-
tiVes elected by the citizens OF Vicks'
burg. !. 1t should not be necessary TO
levy ouch a tax, they will not do 1t. In
fact, they are warmly in favor Of abol-
ishing II, il the register system or any
other system will place at their COM
mand enough revenue TO dispense with
a privilege tax. But in any case our
members of the Legislature are surely
not to blame for promptly responding
to the unanimously expressed wish Of
the u lard OF Mayor and Alder
men, who, being chosen directly by
the citizens OF Vicksburg, OF every class
are supposed to know what ia best for
the city. If the Cotton Exchange take
the broad ground that they know what
is better for the city than the men
elected by the people to take arc OIL
the public Interests, It Is utterly useless
to di.cuss The question. But even then
they should not blame our legislator,
for resp, citing the wishes Of the mer
they themselves helpe to elect.

found The Board fully alive to thu

The general plan which met wi

We have no desire to upset the coun'
try. OF course not. Neither do we
want TO subject trade to another shock
of paralysis. But, II Mr., Hayes pur-
chased the silence OF the Louisiana
thieves, as we have no doubt he did,
and as Mr.. William Z. Chandler offers
10 prove, we insist that the evidence be
received. That won't convulse the
country. 1t won't even put Mr.. TildeD
into the office TO which he was elected,
1t will simply make clear to the most
obdurate mind the fact that Mr.. Hayes
is a usurper and a fraud. Not sll frauds
