BANGOR, March IL.
The Whig and Courier will announce on
the authority of f. II. Clergue. that the Hal
flax dispatch relating to the alleged conuec-
ton of the Maine Central Railroad with the
plan for the completion of the railways of
Western Nova Scotia, is incorrect in almost
every particular.
The Maine Central Railroad Company have
no interest in the matter. except such as may
result in business way from the proposed
connection. The fact that proposal ha.
been made to the government Of Nova Scotia
by a syndicate, in which are several gentlemen
who are also interested in the Maine Central
Railroad, may account for the statement in

special session.


WASHINGTON, March 10.
Mr.. Blair offered resolution authorizing
the continuance of the investigation of differ
ences between capital and labor He said the
investigation was practically concluded and
An extension was desired for the purpose of
making report.
Under objection by Mr. Cockren the coz
sideration was postponed until tomorrow.
MIR Van Wyck'. Backbone resolution was
laid before the Senate, and Mr.. Eustis of
Louisiana made speech upon it. He was
personally cognizant of the fact that great
wrong had been done to the people of Louisi-
ana, and wished TO enter protest against its
consumation. Ii Congress had contemplated
comforting the beneficent grant upon the New
Orleans Pacific Railroad company, the rights
OF poor settlers would be unprotected; but
the munificence had been laid upon this rich
company by an executive officer of the gov
ernmenr, and the settlers had been left at the
company's mercy He maintained in behalf
OF the settlers, TO know what was the title
which had been set up TO defraud the settlers
of their rights. He deried that the title was
a legal one. Ii true that reference had
been made TO the opinion OF the attorney gen.
eral and the reports of the judiciary commit
tee of the House, but the essential features of
the issue had never been submitted to the
Congress had never by any proceeding given
the slightest recognition of the claim Of the
New Orleans Pacific company to those lands.
Everybody agreed that the Backbone com.
pany never lived for anv corporate purpose
whatever. but was mere skeleton o. a
dereiltt aa>ocla ion; yet IN 1881, by one of
the mn-t extraordinary proceedings on rec
orc. this dtfunci company mad an assign
ment 10 the New Orleans Pacific company
and II was upon such utle that the latter
based its claims.
MIR Sherman asked what consideration
was passed if anv. between the New Orleans
Pacific and the BacA bone company.
Mr. Eustls replied that II the large
sum uf one dollar
Mr. Teller vigorously defended the action
of the interior department on the Backbone
grant, and Mr.. Van Wyck, with equal vigor,
assailed 1t recriminatal colloquv of great
length followed between Messrs. Teller and
Van Wyck and at 80 the Senate went into
executive session and later adjourned.
