OF a bridge outside OF the railroad corpt ration
at the Colorado river; or, ~ You will see the
road from the west gees TO the liver aud starts
from the river To 90 east: but there mrst q

BIAcKMAM BRIDGE.
NEW YORK, Dec Z, ls76.-F'IIEND COTTON;
Your letters, Nov. 20 and 90 Nos. 7, 4. and .,
have Just come 10 hand. IA 10 the bridge over
the Colorado river. IL is a matter that care
nothing about, II you do not But in liking up
he =. =. and T. and u. matter IL occurred TO me
that should have to pro rate with the Il. and
r., az the ). L. would be mountains and
through "A country where water and fuel will be
expensive, IL occurred TO me that bridge with
an arbitrary would be well to helb us to get
what we really ought TO have, and protect our
interests generally. AZ / said before, II you
don't want it, don't. Yours truly
G. r. HUNTINGTON
KEEP THE COUNTRY POSTED.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec 30. IS76-FRIEND
COTTON am having the toughest fight with
Scott that have ever had. buC hope TO drive
him into something that we can accept. L
should not have much trouble il matters could
have been left as we liked them when YOU were
here: but, since some of our people has con-
WINGED the public that the S. p. isbelng built by
the G. p, and they have raised the cry OF
monopoly against us, 1t makes IL very hard for
us; but such Is life. Yours truly.
G. Z. HUNTINGTON.
A SATISFACTORY COMMITTEE
NEW YORK. March 7, ls77.-Frisnd Cotton:
The T. NJ :. S. Co. got no aid. L will
tell you some things about that some time. The
Sinking Fund bill did not pass, but il IL in
much better shape TO pass than it'has ever been
before. | STAYED In Washington two days to fix
up Railroad Committee in the Senate Scott
was there working for the same thing: but l
beat him for once certain, as the committee is
just as we want it, which is very important

sARGENT's VALUE.
NEW YORK. April 3, 1S77.-Friend Cotton: We
should be very careful TO get United States
Senator from California that will be disposed 10
help us Sargent, tn nix. win be friendly, and
there is no man in the Senate that can push u
measure further than he can. Yours truly,
c. p. HUNTINGTON.
DON'T go ANY MONEY on HIM.
NEW YORK, May I, 1877 Friend Cotton.
i notice what you say OF Conover, the Florida
detective He IA a clever fellow, but don't 20
any money on him.
We must have friends in Congress from the
west coast, il is vely important, think, that
we kill the open highway and get a fair sinking
fund bill by which we can get the time beyond
the maturity Of the Londs that the Government
loaned US to pay the Indebtedness, and think
If any Republic an is elected in Sargents place
he (Sargentl is worth TO us, IL he comes back as
our friend, as much as any six new men, and he
should be returned.
1t is fearfully hard to get money here-I
think never so much so before Yours truly,
c. L. HUNTINGTON.
NEW YORK, May 10, 1s77.-Friend Cotton:
am glad You are paying some attention 10 Gen.
Taylor and Mr.. Kasson. Taylor can do us much
good in the South. think. by the way, he
would like TO get some position with US in Cali
| fornia. Mr.. kaSson has always been our friend
| in Congress, and az he IL very able man has
been able to do us much good and he has never
| lost us one dollar. / think l have written you
before about Senator Conover. He may want to
borrow some money, but we are so short this
summer do not see how we can let him have
any in California.
have just given Senator ingalls,, of Kansas,
a letter to YOU He IL a good fellow, and cen do
us much good, and / think is well disposed
| toward lis.
Senator Morton is coming over; also his
! brother-in-law, Burbank. They are good fell
| lows, but b. means business; not there, but in
| w.
Scott ia working everywhere for his open
highway, but l think we can beat him; but IL
will cost money and harder work to beat him
with money under the plan OF some of my
| socates-viz. having il understood that the c.
| r. and y l.. are, as IT were, one property. Then
| IL would be without money If the public could
know the facts that il, that the y p. is separ-
ate and distinct property. :, Yours ~ st truly;
coNoRE ssIoSAL COLLARS.
NEW YORK, June l, ls17.-Friend Cotton:
! There has been quite number OF Sen
| ators and members OF Congress in the office
here in the last few days They all say Scott Is
making his greatest effort on his Texas Pacific
| (open highway, and most of them think he will
| pass IL. This man Hayes, most people say, IL
| Tor it 10 conciliate the South He may be, but
hardly believe he Is for many things he should
not be for. Yours truly.
KEEP FRIENDLY wfTH JONES.
NEW YORK, Aug. d. 1ST7.-friend Cotton:
notice what YOU write of Jones road, that he
course, in treating with him, understand the inn
portance of keeping our relations with him
! friendly. am told that he thinks you did not
use him well IN some mining or stock matter.

the harbor OF San Diego, | would like such
one for $3.50 / would give 1t, and If he would
| Yours truly c. p. HUNTINGTON.
NEW YORK. Oct. ., 1s77.-Friend Cotton:
There has been, l think more work
| done since Congress adjourned for the T. d =.
| than was ever done before for any interest in
the whole history of this country; but if we
| spend AZ much money laying rails east OF the
Colorado as he spends on his Washington lobby,
We shall. in my opinion; surely beat him: shall
| fight. Yours truly. c. =. HUNTINGTON.
FIXING COMMITTEES
NEW YORK, Oct. 80 1s71-Friend Cotton:
The committees are made up for the
Forthwith Congress- think the Railroad Com
mittee is right, but the Committee on Territories
l do not like. A different one was promised me.
Sherrell has just telegraphed me TO come to
Washington tonight. L shall not go, as / am
not well. And TO ALWAYS 20 at Sherrcll's call
would kill me any one else III one session of
Congress. / think there never were many
strikers In Washington before, ana think there
will be more bills OF an untriendlv character
offered than ever before. Yours truly.
C. i. HUNTINGTON.
VERY WEARY.
NEW YORK. Oc'. 81, lS77.-Friend Cotton:
/ go e. Washington tonight. OF all
things do most dread this Washington bust
| ness. and do know that would not be drag
ged between here and there for the next ten
years as have been Tor the last fifteen years
for the whole Pacific road. Yours truly,
c. z. HUNTINGTON.
WHY MONEY MUST BE USED.
NEW YORK, Nov Is, 1S77.-Friend Cotton:

sore but for the reason that / have been very
