Projected Railroads in Mexico.

Ihe department OF state has 1aSt received q
very interesting and important dispatch from
tho minister Of the United States at the city
of Mexico in relation to projected railroads in
the republic. The subject has lately seriously
engaged the attention of the Mexican people
aud congress, and it cannot but correspond
ingly interest the capitalists OF the United
States for they will very probably be called
upon 10 furnish the means for these enter.
prises. Tho valuable concession made to
Camacho and Others in 1874, to construct u
broad gauge road and telegraph line from the
city of Mexico to Leon, In Gulnaj juata, was
declared forfeited in December, 1876, by the
supreme authority of that state. Tho con.
tract, with enlarged concessions was trans
forred by tho president to SymOn & Co., April
3, 1880. Previously, however, in November,
1877, w. j. Palmer & Co. had entered into an
agreement with the minister Of public works
to build network Of nauow.gau railroads
from tho city Of Mexico to the Pacific ou the
one side aud 10 the frontier OF the United
States on the other Consequently, as the
subject demanded the approval of the Mexi-
can congress, its session which has Just closed
has been agitntcd by tho respective claims OF
these two companies, As a compromise, the
question of which shall enjoy the right has
been referred by tho congress TO the decision
of the president Of the republic
The Mexican people, from being decidedly
opposed a few years ago to the construction
OF those railroads, are now most earnestly in
favor of them. Their construction will cost
many millions of dollars, much of which, rs
was said before will probably como from
AmorOan sources. Tho following important
facts aud suggestions are therefore presented
for tho information of our people, Either Of
the companies to which the contract may be
awarded will be entitled to q subsidy from
the government. The subsidy to the Symou
company would bo larger, boLtor secured and
mora onerons upon the government than that
Of the Palmer company, But whether the
subsidy will ever be psid-indccd, whether
the charter will be considered a valid one or
not, are questions which are being widely dis.
cussed. Many assert that the congress has no
authority to delegate any legislative power
upon the executive; that the power which it
has granted to the president OF deciding in
favor Of eithor company is legislation, and
therefore null and void. A future admins
tratiOn might consequently decree any con.
nosSion which the present president might
mako uul aud void, aud might grant SINH
lar concession to another company, and the
former would be without redress These diff
leultcs can be removed by an act Of congress
of whatever Sction the president
may take, Tho congress will assemble in
september next
