as to the legality Of the forfeiture of
which there can be no question. There
are. he SAYS, five grants tO roads where
a shovel of earth has never been turned.
One of these is the Gulf & Ship Island
road. Mr.. Cobb will find strong oppo-
sition t. the forfeiture of that grant, as
il is mainly owned hy southern men.
prominent among whom is Manning of
Mississippi. The companies most in-
tercsted are those in the Northwest and
South. The Texas Pacific land grant
is expected to be reported forfeited.
This grant alone involves li,WW, 900
acres. Mr.. Cobb saws:
Attorneys of railroads will he given
an opportunity to be heard. but will
not be given too much time. The North
ern Pacific has not complied with the
grant. 1t has 5000, 600 Of acres which
ought to be forfeited. The judiciary
committee of the last congress voted
for its forfeiture by Z toS. There are Il
number of railroad men here now, try
ing to oppose any legislation of the
character contemplated. They have
been trying to influence members of
the present congress. Some years ago
they got the supreme court 10 declare
that the judiciary did not have power
to declare land forfeited, and now they
say the legislative power ought not to
take amy action of that kind, because
the question is not thoroughly under
stood. These same men controlled the
committees from the close of the war
up to the Forty-fourth congress, and
they controlled the last congress. They
had the committee packed in their
favor. II is fact that every II publi-
can congress since 1865 favored the rail
roads. No justice was done the coun-
try and the government. over o,OO0,-
OOO acres of land will be forfeited. The
question of private claims which will
of course, arise, will have to be settled
by future legislation. The government
will not oppress men who IN good faith
bought lands from the railroads.
