The epDortlJnment bill now only wants the
Presidents approval to become Il law, and nobody
enteIt1inS a doubt that 10 Will promptly receive
his signature. One OF the features o: the bill Is
necesstry consequence o. the tide OF emigration
The center of political power Is passing To the
rapidly growing west AMI southwest from the
older states OF the east The incre 1se of the
membership the House by the b!ll was criticised
in the senate, and but for the fact that an early
passage of the measure WIS important, because
State legislatures are continuing in session
In order To enact re.istri ting legislation, this
feature would probably have met with decided np-
position Mr. Hour called attention to subject
that viii, In all probability, demand consideration
az the hands OF the House before many more years
pass That is the existing rules Of that body ana
the manner In which they operate. He declared
TINT the rules OF the House destroy the freedom
OF debate and the freedom OF amendment He
sail: The chairman Of committee that intro
GuceS bill determines whether there shall be
any debate it, how lOag that debate shall
last who shall speak for it, who
shall speak against It and whether
single member OF that House shall
have the opportunity To offer an amendment" He
attribited this evil mainly TO the large member
ship OF that body and 5lii the effect was throw
the power over l 'gi5litlOn into the hands OF the
speaker and a few veteran leaders
There IS no question as TO the great difficulty of
getting measures before the House Thousands
OF bills die in committee and on the calendar
every session, because the authors and supporters
are unable To get them considered in the House.
Many OF these measures are merit0ri0us, though
perhaps they affect Very few persons.
There is one class Of legislation that
especially suffers. Private claims against
the government rarely ever receive attention,
AMI it has beeom2 recognized fact
TINT it Is almost worth the amount of claim
against the INTEL States 10 collect it. NOtwith-
Standing these facts. there those who pirate Of

NORTHERN PACIFIC BONDS.
A Contract which the Company Cannot
now FulfilI.

New YORK, July 4.-The Tribune says
The syndicate Of bankers which bought from
the Northern Pacific Railway Company in
November, 1880, SIC, OOO, 900 worth of bonds
received at that time the option to call $780,
0O0,QUo more of bonds by July 1, 1882. On
last Saturday demand was made by the
syndicate for the delivery of 81, 000, 000worth
of bonds on this option. The company was
unable to deliver the bonds, on account of
not having the land grant patents from the
Government to accompany the bonds as cali
cd for by the syndicate contract. The title
Of the Northern Pacific Company to the fur
Their land grants Is matter not yet definitely
settled, as tn" Interior Department recently
decided that no patents for lands should be
issued until the expenses Of the survey by
the Government Of lands already patented
were paid by the company. No opinion As
To the significance Of the syndicate's action
can be obtained from its members.
The Northern Pacific Company regards the
order for 5000, 900 Ia bonds as the commit
ment Of the syndicate to taking So, OOO, 600
worth when the company Is able 10 deliver
them. II Is stated that no change has been
made in the terms VI the original contract
between the company and the syndicate.
