BY resolution passed May 30. 1870,
Congress authorized the Northern Pa.
ciiic Railway company to issue bonds by
mortgage on its property, and it put out
slO,OOO,O00 on lands granted by the
government as conditional subsidy.
Since that time the right TO do so has
been seriously called into question. a
bill has recently been introduced into
the House declaring these lands forfeited
by reason OF non n.completion of the road

the lands granted is as follows: In Wis.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Frnm onr EeEular Correspendcnt.

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. -, 1881.
But for the protracted effort necessa'
ry in attempting to get the River and
Harbor bill through the House, the
week ending to-day would have seen in
that body consideration of the inter.
State Commerce bill and the lieappor.
tloument bill The River and Harbor
bill Of this session doubtless shows in an
aggravated form the evils always con
nected with such measures. 4 larger
proportion than usual Of the two mil.
lions of dollars is appropriated for i'm.
possible streams, but this was found un-
necessary in order to get votes enough
for really meritorious objects of public
aid like New York harbor, the Missis
sippi River and its tributaries, etc. The
fight against the bill is led this year by
Mr. Cox. 1t is so far successful but Mr..
Cox himself admits of the certainty OF
the ultimate passage Of the bill. He
finds to-day, too, that his bitter three
days fight against the measure has ma.
terially impaired his ability to push his
Re.apportionment bill. Mr. Reagan will
get at least one day for consideration Of
his Interstate Commerce bill next
week. The general appropriation bills
are now in such shape-all but two
having passed the House, and those
being ready to report-that time can be
safely given to other measures.
Senator Bayard seems unnecessarily
alarmed at the present prospect OF the
Funding bill, lie will call it up on
Monday. The Senate is understood to
agree, almost to man, upon the re.
port of its Finance Committee on this
subject, which is in favor of per
cent. bond, and for Treasury notes at
an interest not greater than .! per
cent. The Senate can amend the House
bill in this matter. the House disagree
to the amendments, and a Conference
Committee can do the balance OF the
work in an hour. The bill is sure OF a
passage in some form.
There is better prospect than ever
before that million dollars will be voted
at this session for carrying 4. ). mails
by steamship lines to South America
and Pacific ports. The sum is of course
in place Of the ordinary rates. and is in
fact subsidy.
Senator Hoar yesterday asked the
Senate to instruct the Judiciary Com
mittee TO inquire whether the assembly
of large numbers of armed troops, in
the city, on Inauguration Day, not un.
der command Of United States Army
officers, be not likely to become dan.
gerous. ! believe the Greenback GOV.
ernor Of Maine, in his late annual mes.
sage, was the first to suggest this idea
1t is not believed the Senate will take
any action. Indeed there seems to be
no sound reason for doing 80. The Sen.
ator should remember that the danger
and the fraud Of 1s7S-the only time
that danger or fraud ever attended the
Inauguration of President or any oil
the preliminary proceedings--was the
work OF Congress, and not Of the people
DoS.
