company, we arc entitled TO ray for carrying
the mail at the same rate as we get for hke
matter Of other parties, which suppose would
be more like express matter than anything cse.
Gould told me yesterday that they charged tor
express matter more than double Whit the
Government was allowing them for carrying the
mail, and that they, the U. p, were charging up
their mail matter every day and at the sauie
rate that they got for the express matter, aud 10
would amount 10 more than SlOOr,tO) per an
mum. Now, the Government has started IN 10
rob us, and think, while we should not charge
them any more than what Is right, we ought b
have the last cent that belongs TO us, and be
very sure TO get IL If 1t is possible thing to ito.
Yours truly. G. p HUNTINGTON.

Congress 81, 900 cash down, IS, 900 when the bill
passed, and $4,000 Of the bonds when they got
them if he would vote for the bill. | have no
doubt this offer was made, and l have no doubt
they would make this offer TO enough 10 carry
their bill IL they could get parties to vote, but
no one believes they would get anything more
than the first sum If the bill II should pass
