| Government Building in Sacramento.
WASHINGTON. February 25th.-The bill
| for public building at Sacramento, which
passed the House this morning and is now
virtually a law, had a very narrow escape
! from defeat To Representative Budd is
due the credit of its passage. Glascock was
recognized to make a motion to pass the
bill under the ten objections" rule, but
an amendment prevailing that the plans
and specifications for the building should
| be made to conform to the amount of the
appropriation, was offered by two members,
and it was asserted by several that unless
Glascock agreed to the amendment they
would object to the bill. AT this announce
ment Budd rushed down the aisle from his
seat, and, button-holing the directors, began
arguing with them. When objections were
called for none were forthcoming. and the
bill was passed. The effect of the adoption
of the amendment would have been to
limit the cost of the building to 100000,
even if the bill got through the Senate,
which was very unlikely. Budds argu-
ments prevented objections, and procured
| to Sacramento a first-class building. As
provided by the bill passed, 5000 or more
can be used for the purchase of site, and
1
can be asked. If the proposed amendment
had been adopted the purchase of a site and
the erection OF the building would be linn
tied to 100000.

of the California fast freight line which
was to have been in operation on the 1st
| of March, owing to the tripartite differ
| ences with the Chicago, Rock Island and
! Pacific. During the past fortnight l53 casks
