After the routine of morning bust
ness, which was very light, Mr.. Call,
according to notice, proceeded to address
the Senate on his resolution instruct
ing the Committee on Public Lands to
report bill to forfeit all railroad land
grants not earned within the time spe-
Gifted in the granting act or acts extend
ing the time.
The general subject ofland grants, Mr..
Mr.. Call said, was Of great importance.
Over $50, 100000 acres Of public lands
had been granted to railroad companies
to aid in building their roads. In some
respects Mr.. Call would not object to
such grants. A great public object had
been accomplished, though it might
have been accomplished with perhaps
greater advantage to the people. Some
portion of the receipts from property
might have been reserved to the Gov
eminent to aid education OF to relieve
the people from the burdens Of taxa
tiop. 1t was not, however, as to the
general subject that Mr.. Call particu-
larly wished TO address the Senate, but
on the subject Of land grants in
Florida.
Mr.. Call then gave history Of those
land grants and the building Of rail-
read in Florida, especially in connec-
ton with the corporation known as the
Florida Railroad Company.
The resolution. on Mr.. Calls re-
quest, was referred TO the Committee
on Public Lands.
The debate on Mr.. Logan's bill to
increase the number Of enlisted men in
the army was renewed. Mr.. Hswley
spoke strongly in favor of the bill.
