litical disabilities, was passed. The President's
message was received and a few pages read, but at
the passage denouncing the Reconstruction Acts
as "unconstitutional laws," Senator Conness inter
rupted with a motion to dispense with the further
reading of this disrespectful and offensive message.
The motion was seconded, and, when withdrawn,

battle with Indians on the Washita. Resolutions
(offered by Senator Cattell) censuring the financial
heresies of the i'resident's message were referred.
House.—December B.—The Bill increasing the
Tariff on copper was passed. The Resolutions of
the Oregon Legislature asking the Oregon Senators
to resign for having " voted for plea:lly unconstitu

nutl the Military Committee to inquire into the ex
pediency of allowing military organizations in the
South. Resolutions denouncing the President's fi
nancial heresies, and repudiating all forms of repu
diation, were adopted by a vote of 146 to 6. A
special committee was raised to investigate the elec
tion frauds alleged in a memorial of the N. Y. Union
League. A message was received from the Secre
tary of State, saying that the divulgence of the Ala
bama negotiations correspondence was incompati
ble with the public interests. The bill for the re
sumption of specie payments was made the Order for

on Expenditures was directed to investigate the al
leged misuse of $2,000000 of the Alaska purchase

volve female suffrage, four proposing constitutional
amendments for that purpose.]
GENERAL.
The Treasury.—The Annual Report of the Sec
retary deprecates the continuance of an irredeema
ble "green back" currency, proposes this shall
sot be legal tender for debts contracted after Jan.
1. 1870, nor after Jan. 1, 1871, for army debts ; ur
ges that our debt ought to be a home debt, where
as $850,000,000 are held in Europe, while $l,lOO,
000,000 or gold has been sent out of the country
since 1848. It shows that the Internal Revenue
receipts have been falling off at an increased rate
since 1866, and recommends a reduction of expen•
ditures and proposes to raise $300,000,000 next year
by increased internal duties and a reduced tariff.
During the year the national debt has increased $35,-
62.5,102, of which $24,152,000 went for the Pacific
R. R., and $7,200,000 for Alaska. It urges the
early payment of the whole debt. It shows that
the debt at the close of the war was really $2,997.-
386,203, of which $470,256,650 has really been paid.
It strongly opposes all forms of repudiation, pay
ment in green backs, or funding in bonds bearing a
lower interest by use of threats to adopt the former
alternatives. It vindicates the National Banking
System, but sharply censures some of the practides
of the New York banks. The total debt, Dec. Ist,
after deducting cash in the Treasury, was $2,539,-
031,844.14, an increase of $11,902,292 since .Novem
ber Ist. During the month $24,205,000 was paid
out in interest falling due, and $44,337,000.00 of the
whole indebtedness is loaned to the Union Pacific
R. R.

UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAI
Are now fittlehed and in operation. Although this road is built
with great rapidity, the work Is thoroughly done, and is pre•
bounced by the United States Commissioners to be first-class in
every respect, before it is accepted, and before any bands can be
is•ned upon ft.
Rapidity and excellence of construction have :teen secured by a
complete division of labor, and by distributing the twenty thou
sand men employed along the line Par long distatrces at oboe. It
is now probable that the
Whole Line to the PACIFIC will
be Completed in 1869.

$16,000 to $48,000 per mile, according to the dtllcnitles to be sur
mounted on.tbe various sections to be built, for which intakes a

THE EARNINGS OF THE UNION; PACIFIC RAILROAD, from
its Way or-Local Business only, during the yeerOP ding June 30th,

Are En#rely Seeime.;
The. Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are lorsl,ooo each,
and have coupplarattached. They tear annual interest, pajable
on the Brat days of, January and July at the Company's of in
the City of New York, at the. rate of six per pent ; in gold. The
principal is payable in gold at maturity. The price i 5,11.02, and at
the present rate of gold ; they pay a liberal income on their cost.
A very important consideration in determining the value of
these bonds is the leilgth of time they have to rum
It is well known that a long bond always command's a much
higher Price than a short one. It is safe to assume that during
the next thirty years, the rate.of interest in the United States will
depline as ftbas done in Europe, and we hive a tht to expect
that such lix per cent. securities as these will be held' at as
high a premium as these of this GOvernmerit, which in 185 T, were
bought in -at from 20 to 23 per cent ahove par. The export de.
mand alone may.produce this reartit . 'end as the issue of a private
corporation, they are beyond the reach of 'political action.
The .Company believe that these Bonds, at-the pi esent rate, are
the cheapest security in the market, and the right to advance the
