enough votes could be obtained among his
Republican colleagues, to add to the Dem
Ocratic vote, in favor Of the forfeiture Of
these grants. and to restore to the public
domain the greater portion Of the lands
now held fraudulently by those railroad
companies. There is no disputing the
fact, however, that strong railroad i1tu-
ences are st work among the members to
prevent any action upon the question at
this session.
Eae S!caraEua Canal Company.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA correspondent
Of the Graphic says; Congressman Blouni
Of Georgia, VINO vas granted sixty days
at the close OF the last session Of the House
in which to make q minority report upon
the bill TO incorporate the Nicaragua Canal
Company, win present the documents in
a day or two. There are many rea-
soma in Blount's opinion why Congress
should not guarantee interest on the i'm
mense amount OF bonds which the COM
pauy asks az a basis for beginning opera
tons. He meets the argument OF the
I projectors of the canal, that we need a
shorter route by water from New York to
san Francisco, with the counter argument
that the Panama Canal is already being
built, aud that the beginning Of another at
Nicaragua would not stop the operations
Of De Lesseps, and that one canal is
enough. The strong point made in the
majority report, that for political reasons
and the protection Of American supremacy,
that the United States should appear as
/ sponsors and protectors o; an inter-ocean
I canal company, is met by BlOunt by the
statement that the canal would be con-
trolled eventually by its stockholders.
There is nothing to hinder the citizens Of
any country from buying stock when il is
placed on the market. The investors
would look to their own Government for
the protection Of their Interests and such
| Guardianship would be granted. Il then
would make no difference as TO what Gov
eghmout would control the canal whose
I citizens had the largest amount capitol in
vested in ita stock. Blount also finds
somo technical objections to the con
| struction and provisions o! the BILL
Congressional.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Ways and
Means Committee this morning uusni-
