AN ALLEGED WILD HOG.
Friend Cotton: notice what you say
of Luttrell: he Is a Wild hog: don't let him come
back to Washington; hut az the House IL 20 be
largely Democratic, and IL ne was to be befeated
likely IL would be charged 10 us, hence l think
II would be well TO beat him with Democrat:
but would defeat him any way, and IL he got
the nomination put mp another Democrat and
run AGAINST him and IN that way r elect Re-

ties OF getting railroad franchise in Arizona.

Gwin is also here. think the Doctor can do us
some good If he can work under cover, bu il he
Is to me to the surface IA our man / think IL
would be better that he should not come, az
he IL very Obnoxious TO very many on the Re-
publican side OF the House, and then there IL
70 many things about our business that he
does not know, and he has not the time TO
learn II before Congress comes ana es. IL
was very unfortunate that he came over in Df-
rectors car with Mr. Grocker. L received a let
ter to-day from party IN Massachusetts that
sati that Gorham and Sargent were very much
offended because Gwin was, or rather had, come
over 10 look after our interest in Washington.
am, however, disposed to think that Gwin can
do us some good, but not as our agent, but as an
anti-subsidy Democrat and also AZ "a Southern
man with much influence In the Sou n in show
ing the Southern people that the Texas and Pa
citic r. II. is in no way a Southern Pacific road,
but road, II built by the Government, would
prevent the Southern States from having road
TO the Pacific for many years. But Gwin must

OWN WORKING UP THE SOUTH.
NEW YORK, Nov. -, lS75.-friend Cotton:
Your dispatch that YOU had sent 500, 900 gold is
received DIR. Gwin left TOR the South yester-
day. think he can do US considerable good If
he sticks for hard money and anti-subsidy
schemes, but If it was understood by the public
that he was here in our interest it would no
doubt hurt us. When he lett told him he must
not write to me, but when he wanted should
know his whereabouts. etc. TO write TO Il. L.
Colburn, OF Elizabeth, n. }. Yours
truly, C. p. HUNTINGTON.

OWNS LITTLE MISTAKE.
NEW YORK. Dec. %, lS75.-Friend Cotton ::
j have Just returned from Washington
The Doctor lGwin) was unfortunate about the
Railroad Committee; that is, there was not a
and / must say was deceived; and he was often
with Kerr, and X. was at his rooms and spe {
nearly one evening. The committee is not nee
essarily a Texas Pacific. but IL IL a commercial
committee, and / have not much fear but that
they can be convinced that ours is the right bill
for the country II things could have been left
as we fixed them last winter there would have
been little difficulty in defeating SCOTS bill but
their only argument il it is controlled by the
Central. That does not amount to much beyond
this: 1t allows members TO vote for SCOTS bill
other. n
break up great monopoly, etc IL these
damned interviewers would keep out OF the way
il would be much easier travelling. / send few
clippings. Yours truly, G. r. HUNTINGTON.

Alr, StOrrs has ii in hand now. When yours
comes will use the best one, or. what is more
likely though, use the best parts OF both.
hope to have 1t introduced by Thursday, the 23d.
Scott is making terrible effort, promising ev-
erything 70 everybody and promise nothing
that do not expect we shall fulfill, and the
Southerners being so very poor that many of
the IN will hold to Scott in hopes he may do
something for them. Vain hope. Sargent as
you no doubt have seen, has gone Of the Rail
road Committee. but there is IA good man in his
place, Eaton OF Connecticut. His going off

much. Ii he did he would have staid on the

CARR's SALARY.
NEW YORK, Jan. IL, 1S76--Friend Cotton /:
Yours OF Dec. 30 and tire LIST inst, Nos. 100 and
III also your telegram that William Ii. Carr has
had for his services 100000 =. r. bonds: then
asking how much more think his services are
worth for the future. That il very difficult
question 10 answer IA ito not know how many
years Mr.. Carr has been in our employ, or how
far in the future we should want him. In view
OF the many things we have now before Con-
gress, and also in this sinking-fund which we
wish to establish, In which we propose to put
all the company's lands in Utah and Nevaca il
is very important that his friends in Washing
ton should he with us, and II that could be
brought about by paying Carr say $4,000 or
$4,000 per year, think we could afford 10 do it.
bat of course not until he had controlled his
friends. They could hurt us very much on this
land matter, although L would not propose to
put the land in at any more than IL is worth say
$3.50 per acre. would like to have You get a
written proposition from Carr, in which he
would agree TO control his friends for a fixed
sum, then send IL Co me.
