correction Of the Record, said that in q
speech made some weeks ago, the gen
ueman from California (Henley) had
charged that Charles Francis Adams, of
the Union Pacific Railroad, had com
mItted gross violations OF the law. He
had as ed the gentleman 10 specify
what these violations were, aud the
only specific reply made by the gentle
man was that Mr.. Adams had himself
stated that the matter Of free passes
gwen by the Union Pacific
cost the government some 5000
day. He (Mr. Long, had de-

uses cost the company s., 600 per day T.,
