in two.thirs of our net annual revenue un
der S2,500,000 per annum shall be made
good by the United States, and that any
advances made under this guarantee shall
be repaid whenever our annual net revenue
exceeds the sum guaranteed, and to avoid
any question as to what constitutes net
TCtcHUC, the bill declares that II shall be
taken as one-half Of the gross revenue. II
provides also that the United States and
Mexico shall each have the right to appoint
two-ninths OF the directors of the board.
No portion Of the guarantee can possibly
attach to the principal invested; hence 1t is
absurd TO suppose that IL can by any posi-
bility be to the interest of the stockholders
Of the road to slight It's construction, or to
depend upon this guarantee, and not upon
the real merits Of the enterprise itself, for
the value of the capital invested in its con-
struction. II Is idle to suppose that S70,-
100000, or any part of 1t, can be raised to
be put into the construction of the works,
without the investors being first thoroughly
satisfied that the property itself Will be am
ply worth in the future all that it costs the
company for no part of its cost can ever be
repaid to them, under the terms OF the bill.
Another untruth, which 1t is almostun
necessary to refer to- is also circulated by
the journals opposed to us-namely, that
the enterprise Is maintaining n large aud in
iiuential lobby here in its interest. No part
of the aid which we ask from the govern
ment can possibly be awaited of for years TO
come, and this fact Is sufficient to show that
the promoters OF the enterprise cannot af-
ford to maintain any such lobby. 1t Is absO-
lutely untrue that any lobby whatever Is
maintained here in It's interests. We have
repeatedly declared, and we repeat again,
that no one in Washington, except the
president and the vice president of the com
pany and its legal counselor. has any right
whatever TO speak in the interest OF this
enterprise. We maintain neither lobby
nor subsidized press IN any way, shape,Jor
manner. The proposition is before Con
gress solely upon It's merits, and the pres
ence of either one of the three officers of
the company referred to is solely for the
purpose Of furnishing the necessary facts
and information relating to it, and to pro-
vide for any additional terms which may be
deemed necessary to make the government
more safe, If 1t be possible to do so, with
out hampering the ultimate success of the
ship railway, Very respectfully,

two Of the forty.eight retired rear admirils,

what he needs. The list Is also intended TO
dlspel the prevailing idea that there Is any
limit TO the capacity Of the line Of the navy,
and to show that they can do anything
from running the naval observatory down
TO building q steam launch or handling

idea men, with narrow views about medi.
cine, the hulls and engines Of ships, and

therefore be always supervised and held in

universal accomplishments, and, above all,
having the faculty Of commanding others,
which Is the great characteristic which dis
tinguishCs the line from the staff. Never
theless, In order that some consideration
may be shown the staiI, two places are as
signed to them, solely on account of the

When the Democratic party divided sec

division wasimmediately followed by a some
what costly attempt to disrupt the Union of
states. That party Is now threatened with
another sectional division, but. fortunately
for the peace and prosperity of the nation,
the new split is not at all likely to lead TO
secession and war.
Radical differences of opinion on great
national questions between the Democracy
of the east and their brethren of the south

latter TO cut loose from New Yorl, and New
England.
The trouble is growing greater, the hos.
