CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-The first instalmsut
of letters written by C. b. Huntington, the
Central Pacific monopolist, to 'sFrierd
Cotton" occupies four long newspaper COL
umns, and IN some respects are more in
teresting than those already given to the
rea .ers of the rLoBE. The following are
some OF the L. = salient points in the let
ters: Under d. of May u, 1877, there
is q defense of Sen .tor Jones in building
the Los Angeles road.
NEw YoEK, May Is, 1877.-I am glad
you are paying some attention to Gen.
Taylor and Mr. Kasson. Taylor can do
Us much good in the south. 1 think, by
the ~ay, he would like to get some posi-
ton with as IN California Mr.. Kasson
has always seen our friend in congress.
and as be is q very able man has been able
to do US much good, and he has never lost
Us ous dollar. l think 1 have written you
before about Senator Conoyer. He
may want to borrow some money
but We are 80 short this summer
1 don't ses how We can let him have any
in California. I have Just given Senator
ingalls,, of Kansas, letter to you. He is
good fellow and can do Us much good,
and [ think IS we'll disposed toward US.
Senator Morton is coming over also His
brother-in-law is Burbank. They are good
fellows, but B mems business, not there
but in W.
New YoEK, June l, 1S77.-There has
been quite number of senators and
members of codgress in the Office here in
the last few days, They all say Scott is
making his greatest effort in his
Texas Pacific (epen highway and most of
them think ne viii pass it. This man,
most people say, is for it to conciliate the
south. He may be, but hardly believe he
is for many things he should not be for.
New YORK, Aug. 18, 1877.---I would
much like report of the harbor of San
Diego as 1 think it is, but would not care
to pay much money far it. Hyde seems
much hrmer in rates for his personal ser
vices than he was before he sold Central
Pacific Trienniel Railroad company, bat
he is a bright man and if he
kaows how worthless tbs harbor
of San Diego is for an extensive
deep sea commerce, I would like report
from him, but as [ said, would not pay
more than 500 for it. Smith, one of the
California state railroad commissioners is,
as l understand, a first class man, and very
likely he would make such a report as we
want-that is, have the facts fairly set
forth.
NEW YoRk, Oct. 5, 1871 think Gould
has had as much to do with stopping us
on the bridge as Scott has, although 1 have
M
to this morning (ses clip
from Tribune) except that jim
Wilson, of Iowa, is their man and has
much influence with McOrary, secretary of
war. Wilson was In Washington when the
first order went out to stop work on the
bridge, and Gould came in twice and Dill
Ion once to tell me that the secretary of
the interior had his war paint on and was
going to attack Us in his message, etc. I
thought at the time they were trying to
cover up something, and rather sup
posed it was to check US on the Southern
Pacific.
In the following Mr.. Huntington tells
how he hobnobbed with the cabinet and
bsmboozled tha president of the United
States
New YORK, Oct. 10. 1S77.-I went to
Washington night before last and returned
last night. ! think 1 have the bridge
question settled for the present. I found
it harder to DO than I expected. The sec
retary of Tar told me that they had had
il 40 in two cabinet meetings and had con
cluded not to do anything, as congress
would come together next week. But
got him out OF that idea in about twenty
miuotes. I then saw three others Of the
cabinet, then went and saw ths president
He was little cross at first, said We had
dehed the government, etc, but soon
got MIN out of that belief 1 said TO him
that We were very much in earnest about
building the Southern Pacifc. / said to
him that l had written out after we were
given the right to go or and complete the
bridge after being once stopped, that they
(yoa) had better push the work night and
day as we had been stopped oncs without
any reason known to US and that we might
be again, and that 1 guessed the boys very
likely quit work and went to supper and
the military quit st the same time and
got their supper and went to bed
supposing the workmen would do the
same, but instead of going to bed went
back and laid the track across the bridge
so as to be sure and have it so trains would
cross before they would be ordered to quit.
The president laughed heartily at that,
oAA SeAO AS : uOScSo We IuSduL DaSlQeSS.
He thsn SAID: ''Whst do you propose to
do if We let you run over the bridge?" 1
said: Push the road right on through Or
egon." He said: "Wiil you do that? If
you will that will suit me first rate" +"
Now I think you hsd better spsnd
little money building east from
Yuma and have il teiegraphed
over as often as you can. It will do much
good here.
From the president the scheme goes
down to the governor of territory.
New YoRk, Oct. 90, IS77I saw Axtell,
governor OF New Mexico, aud he said he
thought if We would send to him such
bill as we wanted to have passed into 6
law he could get 1t passed with very little
or no money, when if We sent G man there
they would stick him for q large smount
