The Paelfle Railroad aa the GaverasneoU Dtfpntch to thsAMOcialtd Press. Washington, Feb. 21. The Judiciary Com mittee, through Senator Carpenter, reported on the subject of the relations of the Government to the Tactile Kallroads. Two question were considered by the committee: First. Ilad the Government the right to retain the whole com pentatlon for services by the railroad, and apply the same to the payment of the bonds and inte rest under existing law, in conformity with the opinion of the Attorney-General ? Second. If not, is the Interest upon said bonds due from the companies, and are they bound, uader ex isting laws', to pay it semi-annually, as main tained by the Attorney-Goneral ? On both these questions the opinion of the committee is adverse to that of the Attorney General, and maintains the position taken by the companies, viz., that the United States are bound to pay one-half the services in money, and can only apply the other half on the bonds, and that the companies are only bound t the performance of the Government service where reqnired, and beyond the performance of such service are not bound to repay the interest until the maturity of the bonds. It is understood that all the committee concur in the report, except Mr. Edmunds. The report of Senator Stewart is from the Committee on Paelfle Railroads. It recommends no legislation, but expresses the opinion that the advantages are so great that the Government will send freight over said road as far as practl ble to do so. A Petition frem Mlaera of Colfax county, New Mexico, has been pre sented in Congress by Mr. Julian, praying to Lave the right of the so-called "Maxwell Land, Grant and Railroad Company," to an im mense tract of mineral country known as the Moreno mines, investigated, and the lines of the grant defined by an authorized Government sur vey. This is another Mexican grant, in which the miners are contesting their claim in opposi tion to an English company of capitalists who are endeavoring to appropriate an immensely rich mineral region to itself. The Eafarcement BUI. Special Despatch to Iks Homing Telegraph The Senate has taken up the enforcement bill, and a majority has agreed to sit It out until a vote is reached, if it takes all night and all day to-morrow. The Democrats are determined to resist the bill at every stage, and by all means in their power. Four or five of them are prepared to talk against time, and it is now a question of physical endnrance. The Democrats charge that the object of the Republicans in hurrving this bill up at this late stage of the session is to defeat several appropriatfon bills and throw tbem over to next Congress. They charge that the President having disco vered that the San Domingo commissioners oan not return before the middle of April, he is anxious to have a session of two or three months of a new Congress so as to get action on the report of the commission. The defeat of the appropriation bills the Democrats assert will afford a pretext for a long session. The House is engagtd on the last of the ap proprlatlon Mils, ana will probably finish it to dav. The members of the Committee on Ap proprlatlons of the House conceded the faet that two or three bills will fail in the Senate. FROM NEW YORK. Damacca la the New Haaibarc Disaster Nxw York, Feb. 24.

Mr. Stewart, from tne Committee on the Paclflo Railroads, reported upon the question of transporta tion of Ooverument freights ou the 1'aolQO Kaliroad, r commending that he Interests of the Uovemineu woula be subserved by transporting all tbe freights overland, Instead of via Pauauia, aud that bv retain ing M per cent the semi-annual interest would te provided for. The report of the . committee, lu writing, was ordered to le printed. Mr. I a'penter, from the Judiciary Committee, in response to the lesoluttons of the Senate lu rojrard to the retention by the Government of more tliau fifty per cent, of the transoartauou over the Pacific Railroad, submitted a written report adverie to the ooiulon of the Attorney-General, and claimed that thi nr visions of the existing law the Givaru- aieot has not the right to retain more tliau tirty per cent, of in amouuu The report was then ordered to be printed, vi.

It was to rnake another great trunk line end ing at the North and not at the Smth. having a No.lliern g uge, and from which all S.nthra branches had own designed!? cut oil". If there wi nv one thing to which tnl Congress was eieig I it was to give Oie South a Southern road, but this bill Ws a delusion and a snare. Mr. Conkllng thought the hill cnnl l not he dis posed of without debate, and he therefore Insisted on the regular order. The Senate then, at 11-80, took np the regultr order of business, being the House bill to gn w-d the purify ef elections, entitled "an a-.t to amen I au act approved May 81st, .1870, to enforoe the runts of citizens of the United States to vote In the several States of this Union and-for other p irpoies."

Me naa imeuuen, lr ne could hae obtained the floor, to offer a preamble and resolution which he believed emoodied tne opinion of two-thirds of the members of tbe House That was, that It was manifest destiny tti tt ail por tions of tbe North American continent and the ad jacent islands must In the course of time be associated together under one gene ral government: that such Inevita ble annexations and changes er ailegUnce abould be rarefullv prerared and facilitated. nd that therefo e tbe declaration by the high comnvs- aion of the absolnt nower and right or the British and American colonies to withdraw their allegiance by a vote of a majority of their inhabitant, and to seek socb other national connection as they may elect would be hailed as an set of high araitv and wisdom that would greatly allay the unhappy irritation now tain. He then withdrew the amendment. Mr. Wood Inquired as to the Item of $tono for ex nenBes incurred by the United States Legatl m In Pails In protecting Gerrr an subjects In Frauce, and whether the German Government wou d not reim burse those exoenaes. Mr. Dawes replied tnat tne uerman uovernmem had ottered to rio so, but that our Government thought it would be a small business to go into an account on such a matter, and preferred to pay the expense itself. Mr. wood expressed mmseit sausuea wun me exnlanation. Various propositions were submitted by Mesrs.
