Pacific Railway Protests,

Representatives Cobb, of Indiana, Dunn, Of
Arkansas and Rosecrans, of California, have
through their attorney, Mr.. EN-. Hill, of this
city, sent communication to Secretary
Teller, asking him not to allow the filing or
record in tho Interior department of any
mortgage made by the New Orleans Pacific
Railway company upon lands originally
granted to the New Orleans, Baton Rouge,
and Vicksburg Railway company, and by the
latter transferred to the corporation first
named. The memorialists assert that such a
mortgage has been executed and is to be used
as a basis for land grant bonds; that the
contemplated transaction is in violation of
law; and that there is grave doubt
as to the right of the New Orleans
Pacific company to avail itself of this land
grant in any way whatever Messrs. Cobb,
Dunn, and Rosecrans have also filed with
Secretary Teller a protest against any action
on his part which would result in the is
suance of certificates to the Southern Pacific
Railway company for the lands originally
granted to the Texas Pacific company. They
assert that these lands were declared for
feted by the Judiciary committee of tho
house of representatives in the forty-seventh
congress; that the bill for the consolidation
of the Southern Pacific and Texas Pacific
roads, by which the former hoped to acquire
a shadow of title to the lands, was twice de-
feated in the house, and that the Southern
Pacific company could not, by assignment
from the Texas Pacific company, acquire any
valid title to the latter's land grant.

About Export Bonds.

Tho commissioner of internal revenue has
written the following letter in regard to tho
matter of passing upon the eligibility of sure
ties upon export bonds for the expectation of
distilled spirits, which is published for the in
formation of collectors:
SIR: Your letter of the thirty first ultmo rela.
tive to the acceptance of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway company as surety on spirit export bonds
has been received
In reply you are informed that II you are OF tho
opinion that this corporation has by its charter
the legal power TO become O surety and the surety
Is financially sufficient you could probably safely
acCeptit But as the law makes you responsible
for the character OF tho surety aud invests you
alone with discretionary power in accepting the
suTeties, deem II improper to instruct you as to
what course you shall take in this or any other
particular of this class, and you will only
gard what IL said in this letter as merely sugges-
tive and not at all binding upon you, nor in any
wise to be construed into relieving you Of the en-
tire responsibility.
Il may also be well TO regard this letter as appl-
cable 10 all future question OF like nature which
may come up in your district.

The Hml Investigatlng oommlttec.

The Hill investigating committee resumed
its session yesterday morning. Mr. Thomas,
counsel for Mr.. Hill, objected TO the charges
filed by Mr.. Murch upon the ground that
they are not specific and definite, wheroupon
Mr.. Coleman, counsel for Mr. Murch, submit.
ted tho specific charge that in 1877 Mr.. Hill
entered into certain contracts which were
grossly unfair to the government in that he
agreed to pay certain contractors far in ex-
cess of tho real value of tho materials fur
nished and the work to be performed. In sup
port Of this charge, William G.. Stine.
metz, of New York (expert), was
construction of the public building
in Philadelphia. lie explained to the
committee the difference between quarry
Dimensions and net Dimensions, the former
being the cubic Dimensions of n stone as
taken from the quarry, and tho latter the
cubic dimensions based upon tho space which
the stone will occupy in q building. Mr..
Stinemeta stated that in making contracts
IL was tho custom to stipulate net dimen-
sions. In the case of the Philadelphia build
ing Mr.. Hill had contracted for quarry
dimensions, and in this way had compelled the
government to pay greatly in excess of tho
market value of the stone actually used
He further testified that he had made COM
putations from the plans Furnished him
delphia building of the actual cost
of several of the stones and the
market value of the same based upon their
true or net Dimensions. He instanced as
examples-explaining from the drawings
one stone which cost the government SS5.15
contract price), being $500 in excess of the
true value of the stone, and another costing
the government $l29.37, where the actual
cost-allowing so per cent. profit to the con-
tractor-should have been but $56.26 the ex-
cess paid by the government in this instance
being $73.11.
Mr.. Stinemetz stated that If time was al
lowed him he could by computing each stone,
show the aggregate amount paid by the gov
ernment for the stone used in this building in
excess of its market value.
Mr.. Coleman stated to the committee that
it was the purpose of the prosecution in the
case of this Philadelphia building to show
the amount of money which tho government
through Mr. Hills contracts had been COM
PEELED to pay in excess of the market value of
the materials used. That the computations
were necessarily slow, and that further time
would be required before going on with this
branch of the investigation. After some
counsel it was agreed that Mr.. Stinemetz
should submit his calculations for six stones
in each course, and thaBthey should be taken
rs the average for the entire building.
Mr.. Thomas, for the Defense gave notice
that they would ask the committee to sum-
mon every witness who had been mentioned
in the papers of tho prosecution, and that
they would insist upon their right to cross
examine them.
The committee adjourned until IL a. M,
Monday next.
