But The Speaker was not content to let
the matter rest here. He continued Ia

IMPORTANCE OF his action in the decision

the point when made. lie doesn't 20
further and say that he himself had to
suggest the making of the point and
rush his private page OH
To see that it was done. However,
here are two more of the famous
letters referring to the transaction. II
will be seen that not content with one
letter detailing the circumstances the
Speaker wrote another on the same sub
icct the very same day and accompanied
II with the Congressional Globe that the
gentlemen might see with their own
ewes how much they were indebted To
him for his services in the premises.

My DEAR SIR:-I spoke to you short
time ago about point of interest to your
railroad company that occurred Mt the
last session OF Congress. 1t was on the
last night OF the session when the bill re-
ncwing the land grant TO the State of
Arkansas for the Little Rock road was
reached and Julian, of Indiana, Chair
man of the Public Lands committee,
and by right entitled to the floor, at
tempted to put on the bill AS an amend
mcnt the Fremont El Paso schemc-a
scheme probably we'll known to Mr..
Caldwell. The House was thin and the
lobby in the Fremont interest had the
thing all set up and Julian's amendment
was likely to prevail if brought toa vote.
Roots and tic other members from
their own bill, to which there seemed to
he no objection, were in despair, for it was
well known the Senate was hostile to the
Fremont scheme, and if the Arkansas
bill had gone back to tho Senate with
Julian's amendment the whole thing
would have gone on the table and slept
the sleep of death.
In this dilemma Roots came to me to
know what on earth he could do under
the rules, for he said it was vital to his
constituents that the bill should pass.
told him that Julian's amendment was
entirely out of order because not ger
main, but he had not sufficient conf
dcnce in his knowlt dgo of the rules to
make the point, but he said Cen. Logan
WAS opposed to the Fremont scheme and
would probably make the point. | sent
my page to Gen. Logan with tho sugges-
ton and he at once made tho point. |
could not do otherwise than sustain il,
and 40 the bin was freed from the mis-
chicyo,Is amendment moved by Julian
and M once pussod without orposition,
At that time | had never seen Mr..
Caldwell, but you can tell Kim that with
out knowing Ii did him II great favor,
sincerely yours,
J.C;. By.,rSr.
