The report of the Commissioners on the
Union Pacific Railroad estimates that for the
complete equipment of the lino to Salt
Lake additionallocomotives, cars, ctc., and
'for stone structures, several millions of
dollars maYbe required. It will be
that; some months ago this Railroad
Company voted to put 153,000,000 of its own
first mortgage bonds in trust for this pur
pose. The Government now owes the Com
pany 54,400;000 for the road already com
pleted. The Conipany has expended six
million dollars for grading, rails and other
supplies beyond the nine hundred tend
forty miles already finished.

ergy and perseverance with which the
work has beeri urged forward, and the ra
pidity with which it has been executed, are
without parallel in history. In grandeur
and grand magnitude of undertaking it
has, never been equalled, and no other line
compares with this. The arid and barren
character of much of • the country it tra

veniences and difficulties, and im
poSing the necessity of obtaining almost
every requisite of material and labor and
supplies for its construction from the ex
treme initial point of its commencement.
Deficiencies exist, but they are almost with
out exception those incident to ail new.
roads, or of a character growing out of the
peculiar difficulties encountered, or insepai. ably connected with the unexampled pro-'
gran of the work. A matter of the greatest
importance and highly creditable to the able
managers of the company is, they can all be
" supplied at an outlay but little exceeding
that which would have obviated them in
the first instance, but at the'cost of materi
ally retarding the progress of the 'great
work, • Under the circumstances it is much
more a matter of surprise that so few mis- '
- takes were made and so few defects exist,
than it Would be had serious deficiencies
been of more frequent occurrence, and the
country has reason, t& congratulate itself
that this ' great worker "national importance
is so rapidly approaching completion under

BOARD OF TRADE.
National Convention at Cincinnati—Report
of Executive Committee.
2
'CBI? Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.,
Cnvonmerr, December 2.--The follow
ing repart of the Executive Committee of
the National Board Of Trade was read - on
the assembling of the Convention to-day:
It is almost six months to a day since the
' represettatives of thirty-two Boards of
Trade a d other commercial bodies in the
United States-assembled in the city of Phil
adelphia for the purpose of organizing this
National Board. The result of that meet
ing has been in the main fully approved by
' , the respective bodies in whose behalf the
action . was taken, and has been warmly
commended by the public at large, so far
as the proceedings have been made known
and have been understood. Our constitu
tion as it stands is calculated to secure for
the Board broad nationality, carefully se
lected representation, fall and fair discus-
Slop and impartial action.. It guards
against everything , special, sectional or,,po
laical. It aims to bring thoughtful end
practical men together once a year, or
oftener, if necessary, to deliberate as usi
ness men, and as American business men,
upon the financial and industrial capabili
ties and exigencies of the nation. These
leading characteristics of our organization
rio one, we may be sure, will desire to
change.
The Philadelphia meeting was convened,
as has been said, for tho particular purpbse
of bringing , the Board into existence, and it
did not afford opportunity for the examina
tion of many questions of a general com
mercial character. 'Positive action, hOwn
ever, was had in favor of a Sew important
- measures:
• 1. The reduction of the tax on whisky to
fifty cents a gallon.
2. Direct importations to inland cities.
3. The cental measurement of all products
of the soil.
4. The free and unobstructed navigation
through its entire length of the Miiisissippi
river.
- Memorials were duly addressed to Con
gress on each of these subjects, but no leg
islation followed, except in reference to
the tax on whisky, which Was reduced to
the point Indicated by the judgment of this
Board._The encouragement of direct im
portations to the interior appears, on the
official programme of our present proceed
ings, at the.instance of the bt. Lords Board
of Trade; also,the free navigation of the Mis
sissippi by the notification of the same
body. The cental measurement of grain does
not appear upon our programme, and it is
for the Board to determine whether any and
what further action is desirable. A bill,
(No. 7560 introduced by the Hon. W.
Pruyn, is now pending in the House of
Representatives, covering substantially the
recommendations of the Boston Conyen
tion, which were confirmed at Philadel
,phia, on this sabred. The proposition of
the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, for
a general system of cental measurement,
will Come up in the same connection.
Other questions came up at the .Philadel
phia meeting which - were referred to the
Executive !Council.. ' 4
This is the `t.' d 'occasion dialog the
present year when\the representativri of
commercial saffecilotiofiti ' lutirtr bead.' bortz j
ironed to tare counsel ther in reference
to the greet material concerns of the nation,
and two other commereliconventions
have been held, more restricted in the at
tendance upon thern,' - but of considerable
local importance. We meet for llfcL first
time, however, as a purely deliberative
body, and not as a popular assembly.
Ia commenting upon the meeting at Port=
land, last summer, the Commercial Bulletin
of Boston used this language: "We thus
have another illustration- of the entire
capability of - -our business men to
discuss and to decide upon great ques
tions of commercial ' policy. ' Indeed,
'we cannot recall a single resolution passed
at the conventions of merchants" which,
within three years past, have been held at
Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia and Portland
respectively, which, so. far as subsequent
events have had oppOrtnnity to show, has
not been eminently sound, wise and wor- ,
thy of adoption on the part of Congress,"
From the regular meetings of this Board,
certainly, results no less satisfactory may
be anticipated. We have no question of
organization; or method of procedure, to
divide and perplex our attention, and ' vre
are doubtless prepared to consider every
question in its broadest relation to
the public good. The merchants, the man
ufacturers, and the active business men of
the nation are oar constituency, and local
commercial bodies vest the authority and
influence which they possess as the expo
nents of commercial opinion in our organi
zation. Let ns therefore, with patience,-
with Impartiality, and with potnotism,,
devote ourselves to the duties before us in
the interest of every section of our com
mon country and of every branch of its
varied industry.
iOn reassembling, the following members
were elected Vice 'Presidents: George S.
Has.sard, of Buffalo; Robert S. Kirkland,
Baltimore; James C. Converse, Boston;
Wm. N. Trenholm, Charleston, S. C.; Wr.n.

George H. Thurston, Pittsburgh; , John B.

On the report of the order of business, a
motion was made to circumscribe the dis
cussion on any subject to but one speech
from each member, and ten minutes only
on each subject.
A committee of five on Credentials, with
Mr. Randolph, of St. Louis, as chairman,
'was appointed.
It was moved that two-sessions be hold
per day, each Morning session beitinnirtg

sGreenhaeks for Bondo'f—Letter of Sena
for Morton to the N. Y. World.
(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
NEW Yens, December 2.—The World
contains the following letter from Senator
Morton, of Indiana :
Washington, November 30.— T0 de Editor
of the World : DEAR Sin—ln the New
York World of the 28th inst. I lind an arti
cle, from which I quote the following :
telegram to , an evening paper states
that Senator Morton • soon after,. the apen
ing of the aesSionlkWilLintrwitreo bi ll di
recting the immediate payment3n green
becks of that portion of the fivemventy•
bonds issued five years ago. If this report
be correct, the course of , that Senator on
this subject is conspicuous for vacillation.
Eight months ago he.was an open .advocate,
of the se-called greenback theori. During
the Presidential canvass he publicly re.
canted. If he is now abotit to propose and
advocate such a measure'as that described
in s Ae telegram, his renunciation must hare
beena mere political dodge, a feigned sur-.
render ofhis principles to promote the suc
cess of hislrarty."
In the first place, I don't intend to intro
duce a bill dliecting the immediate pay
ment in greenbacks of that portion of the
5.20 bonds issued five, ears ago, and have
never said I`did to Secretary McCulloch
or anybody else. In the next place, I did
not during the canvass recant, what I said
in therSkrnatain regard to the peyment of
the 5-20's in greenbacks. No speech by me
to that effect has been made. What I
urged during the canvass was, that the first
"dtity'of the government was to returnAo,
specie payments, which, when accomplish
ed, would settle all questions as to the
mode of paying the bonds. Iftirtherurged
that the government had no right to issue
new legal tender notes, and make them irp
plicable to the payment of bonds;- argu
ing that such notes could not be
made to sustain the same relation
to the bonds in law, or equity that was
sustained by the existing notes, and that
the further issue of such notes would in
definitely_ postpone the return to specie
payments. These
,propositions were fully
stated in my speech In the Senate last
summer, in which I argued the legal right
of the Government to use the -legal tender
notes in the payment of bonds. I also ar
gtied at various times during the cairyass,
that whatever might be the law on the sub
ject, the. Government could not payi the
bonds,
or any considerable portion, in 'win,
while the currency remained depreciated,
and that the improvement of thepurrency,•
by bringing it up to par,was u necessary con
dition precedent to ' the payment of , the
bonds in gold; that if the Government
could not procure gold enough to redeem
$365,000,000 legal tender notes, it was folly
to talk about paying bonds in gold; that the
question of the mode of paying the bonds
will become important only by the contin-`
uance of a depraved currency, without
taking steps to improve it;
_that to take the
surplus gold in the Treasury and apply it
to the purchase of bonds in the market,
which will not fall due for fourteen years,
-would not be paying the bonds, but sharing
them, and would be an improper use of
means by which the paper of the Govern
-Mont overdue and dishonored should be
redeemed. These positions are not inconsis
tent with anything I said in the flenatd."i
I am, very respectfully yours, •

CATTLE DISEASE

rßy Telegriph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Citteauo, December 2.—The American
Convention of Cattle Commissioners, at
Springfield, Illinois, met this morning,
. President L. G. Allen in the chair. The
following additional Commissioners ap
peared: Dr. Hiram Courson, Edward C.
Humes and A. B. Hamilton, of Pennsyl
vania, and Norton S. Townsend of lowa.
A somewhat lengthened discussion arose
out of a resolution, offered by Dr. Clen
dennin, of Ohio, providing for the appoint
ment of a committee to meimirialize bon
gress to appoint a committS3e to Investigate
the causes, symptoms, mode ?of develop.
ment, etc., of diseases, and report to the
country. • .
the
General
work could Patrick
e, better andew Yorchk,
eapeurght
tho i
ac
complished under the direction of the War
Department:
Mr. Hamilton, of PennsylVania, thought
the business more properly belonged to the
Agricultural Department, and moved an
amendment to that effect.
Mr. Reynolds, of Illinois, ;informed the
Convention that the head of that Depart
ment was not engaged in the investigation
of the plague, and. doubted whether he
could be induced to change his plan."
A substitute for the original resolution
and amendment was offered by Mr. Ham
• Mon, of Pennsylvania, to the effect that
three members of the Convention be ap.
pointed to do the work, and ask an appro-
Congfess to defray expenses.
Pending a vote on the substitute, the
Convention adjourned till half-past two
o'clock in the ;afternoon.
*At the enin of the afters:Rio n session
of the Convention it was arranged that the
Law Draft Committee should report at half
past seven o'clock - in the evening. -
The Convention then went into a general
discussion - of the cattle disease.
Dr; Morris gave an extended account of
investigations under the direction of. the
Kentucky Board of Health, especially of
the microscopic investigations as to the
fungus believed to cause the disease. They
were not found In the blood of healthy cat
tle.
Dr. Ramb gave his experience in the
s examination of the disease in Chicago.
Judge BrOwn, of Jacksonville, Illinois, a
Texas cattle dealer, presented the opinion
of that, class. All proper regulations should
be mode. He thought if the introduction
of cattle was. prohibited from the last of
March to the first of October, and require
them when brought to be kept In separate
enclosures, and hold the owners of Texas
cattle:responsible for all losses from the dis
ease, there would be no trouble. He urged
at length the impcirtande of the Texas cattlo
trade.
The.discussion was continued by Messrs.
Christie, Piper, Barrett and others until the
adjournment of the afternoon session.

In all thirty-six Commissioners. As will
be seen the Conventloe- is composed
of very able men. That they will
agree on some measures which, if adopted,
will prevent the future Introduction of the
disease, and yet;allow the Texan cattle to be
introduced, is quite probable; but that
there will be any general agreement as to
the cause of the disease is hardly to be ex
pected. The diversity of opinion among
the Commissioners is too great for that.

Pleasant Valley Railroad.
Massrts. Enrrons: 'article appeared
in the Dispatch of yesterday in reference
to the extension of the Pleasant Valley
Passenger Railway, which giVes a one
sided and unjust view of the-matter. The
extension it; asked,'not for the behefit of a
half - a - ; dozen: farnilles,' but for the entire
north-western portion: of Allegheny city.
The Seconciward, particularly, would be
greatly benefitted. Parties living there
dealring to ride, have to walk to the Mar.
ket House in order to get a ear. The Cow
inittee having the matter in charge will
confer a great benefit on large numbers of
citizens by not being Influenced by the
decidedly one-sided article In the Dispatch.
