most direst and plausible messier, and produced conclusive
evidence supporting a part of her statements. It now ap

out loudly help against the person—naming him—

road connecting the Allende with the Pie&
states should be located where the storms and

and henoe a middle route, serving alike the
North and thel3onth, but avoiding the extreme, of
either climate,—the heat of the one and the snow
of the other—it would seem to us the proper one
to be selected. But we did not outmost:me this
article with the intention of discussing routes,
but merely to note the progress of the measure
in the Senate.
The following is a synopsis of the bill intro
duced by Mr. Wrutort, of Mass., and which has
made considerable progress :
Sec. 1. The enacting clause for the construe
Lion of a railroad from Missouri river to San
Francisco, authorising the President to appoint
five acting engineers, citizens of the United
States, to constitute a board to !costa the route,
far the transportation of the mails, troops, sea.
men, munitions of war, &c., &a., through the re.
eon between 34th and 43d parallels, from &point
between the months of the Big Sion: and Kan
sas rivers to flan Francisco.
See. - 2. That the commissioners take an oath
faithfully to perform their own duties; they shall
appoint a secretary or secretaries, also to be
sworn. Said commissioners shall have full power
to summon and cause witnesses to ba sworn
They shall meet at the city of Washington to
organise said commission; and they must ter
minate their duties within two years from the
date of their appointment.
See. 3. The salary of each commissioner shall
be five thousand dollars per annum, and their
Secretaries two thousand five hundred dollars.—
The President is also authorised to prepare for
and meet contingent expenses.
See. 4. The commissioners shall determine
on the selection of a route within two years, and
report their decision to the President, who shall
announce it by proclamation as the route for the
Pacific railroad.
See. 5. When the location is announced by
the President, the Secretaries of War and Inte
rior, Postmaster General and Atorney General
shall constitute a board of commissioners to di
rect the construction of said road. They shall,
from time to time, issue proposals for its con
struction by contract, in sections of twenty five
miles. They shall report annually to the Presi
dent, who shall report to Congress.
Soo. 6. That for the purpose of oonstruotiog
said road the President be authorised, beginning
at say time within twelve months after the date
of his proclamation locating said road, annually
to "borrow, on the credit of the United States,
lineh sums as are needfull, not exceeding tea mil
lions in any one year.
I See. 7. Bonds shall be issued in sums not
leas than a thousand dollars each for the amount
so borrowed, the principal to be paid in thirty
years from the date of issue, and shall bear ince
rest not exceeding five per cent., payable semi
annually with coupons attached; and the Score'
Lary of the Treasury be authorized from time to
time, as the President may require, to issue such
bonds; and the said Secretary shall report to
Congress, at the commencement of each Session,
the amount of money borrowed under the act,
with an abstract of all proposals, distinguishing
those accepted and those rejected.
Sec. 8. From and after the passage of this
act, until the location of said railroad be announ
ced, all public lands between 34th and 43d parsi.,
lolls be withheld from sale, but ithall be open to
preemption by actual settlers, after the date of
the said proclamation by the President; the pro
ceeds of all sales of public lauds for a distance
of 150 miles on each side of said railroad, with
the exception of reserves for the purposes of edu
cation, shall constitute a fund for the construe
don of the road, and be payment of the interest
and redemption of the principal of the bonds is
sued for the said construction. -
Mr. Pout, of Missouri, offered to amend the
bill by authorising its commencement any where
between the 49th parallel in Minnesota and the
Southern boundry line of the United States.—
This amendment was lost by 17 to 'l9. Mr.
Foam moved to amend by inserting a clause
thartheroed be built ezelnsively of American
iron. This amendment was discussed at length
by Messrs. Seward, Simmons, Clinton°, Bigler
and Iverson. Mr. Clippies thought the most
rcipedient way of meeting the question would be
to take off she duty on iron. in consequence of
the cheapness of labor in Ragland foreign Iron
is cheaper than American; and the question is,
shall we or shall we not avail ourselves of cheap
iron, get the road under weigh, and have our
produce brought to market? He thoUght the
contractors ought to be authorized to get the
beet iron where they could and as cheap as they
could. Mr. Seward said every portion of the
railroad will be within the genitor? of the United
States. If American iron was used, it would be
drawn from the localities surrounding the line.
Taking this into tonsideration, and also the ex.
penes of transporting English iron woes the
Atlantic', he thought that it wotd4 be cheaper
and better to use the American, Mr. Bigler
said he had spoken with experienced railroad
men on the subject, sod be thought the Senator
from New York (Mr. Seward) had taken a strong
practical view of the question. American iron
was superior to foreign iron; and no greater con_
trio in favor of home-mad iron could be ad
dared elles that afforded by the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Baltimoreand Ohio Railroad.
With every resource of say other country, and
greater ingenuity, why should not this great
work be constroeted of American material. Ha
was streagly In favor of American iron. M.
Iversen mad that in all probability it would take
one hundred and fifty toes of iron to the mile;
tut saying that it would only take cue hundred
sous to the mile, then the whole road would de
mad two hundred ;hound tons, upon which,
at the present tariff of 111.5 a ton, the con ractor
would pay three millions. If the restriepon is
put in - the bill, you allow the iron motors of
America, by a consbination, to run up thk price
of iron, sad reereby fore* one patio* of Weari

amendment was carried by the Olen* vote:

We are indebted to Senator BIGMts for a ci py
of the retort of Gen. BOWMAN, Superintendent
of Pnblip Printing When Gen. B. was sp
'pointed ly. the President to' this responSible of- '
floe), we Vaid that the Executive bad found the
right u 4 for the right place—that if there was
any fraud upon the revenue, or peculation being
practiceunder this branch of the service—be
was jus the man to hunt it oat and correct it.
t i,
And we are glad to see by his report that our
estimate of his character is being verified.—
We - Lace not room for a very extended notice
of the many important fads+ revealed by this
doottmeilt, but a few items, going to show
the magnitude of the expenditure for printing by
the Government may not be autism ass means of
calling public attention to the subject. For ex
ample, iwe learn from this document that the Pa.
ciao Railroad Reports, consisting of ten volumes,
only eight which have been completed, have
already cost the snug little sum of $74,f:045,97
for printing, $96,822,50 for paper, and $282,
479,13 for engraving. These are astounding
figures and will attraot public attention. The
policy of the nation ping so largely into the
book business, is more than questionable. But
the expense of this one work does not stop with
the figures given above The ninth volume has
been printed, and is now ready for the binder
This, volume contains 1480 pages of litter press,
and a large number of plates, the binding of
which authorised by law is entirely inadequate
to the safe preservation of qullt a work. Gen
Bowman states that the cost of this volume ex.
ends, by more than one hundred per cent., the
estimate laid before Congress, sad explains the
reason of this discrepancy between the estimate
and coat of the work by the fact, that all the re
ports Ordered to be printed by the Thirty• Third
and ThirtpFourth Congress, were so ordered
before, they were written, and without any relia
ble estimate of their ' probable size. Upon the
best information which could be obtained from
there whose duty it was to prepare this report,
the oast of printing thentwas estimated; but the
volume just printed, instead of making seven
hundred pages at an estimated cost of $35,000
for paper and printing, will actually cost 670,000,
with the probable necessity of an additional cost
for binding of $20,000, making an aggregate
coot of $55,000 above the estimate. In view of
such facts as these, Gen. Bowman, with's faith ,
ful regard to his public duty, has suspended the
printing of the tenth 'volume of the Pacific Rail-
road Reports, to await farther instructions from
Congress. There are some other points in this
report that We should like to notice, but time and
room will not permit
NKr We surmise that there cannot be any
doubt that Arizona will be erected into a Terri
tory at the present session of Congress. Certain
difficulties in the way at the last session hare
been removed It seems that the chief of these
dtfficulties was
, the opposition of the delegate
from New 61exteo to the prhposed separate or ,
ganisstion, Arizona being part and parcel of the
jurisdiction of that Territory, which opposition
rested upon the question of bou/tdary. The dele
gate, having learned the wisheeof the people im
mediately concerned in the bo o ; e dary, has with
drawn Lis opposition, and co- rates with the
delegate sent from &risotto in favor of the sepa
rate organization. There are said to be ten
thousand white people in Arizona, and that it
only needs the protection of law to rise rapidly
in importance.
pg.. The New York correspondent of the Buf
falo Commercial says the Rev. Dr. Tysti, of
St. George's—one of the bigeet guns of the
Episcopal church—was solicited the other day
to take a turn in preaching at the Academy of
Music, Sunday evenings. "No," said the doc
tor, "L have been in that place during the pre
sent re , iival, as you call it, and have not been
able to discover, in those gilded boxes, or in that
velvetted parquette, any of the poor and vicious,
who wander on the highways and byways of the
city; the persons who attend for the most part
have pews in regular plaoft of worship, but pre.
fer to have their churches closed in the evening,
in order that they may visit the theatre, and en
joy the novelty of the scene. I shall not preach
to such people. Drive them out, and invite in
persona who are not in the habit of going to
church, or who are afraid to go there, having no
money to buy a pew, and you are welcome to
my services, not only on Sunday, , but every
evening in the week." This is a reply worthy
of a obristian, and shows the Rev. Dr. to have a
good deal of "vital prity" as well as hard sense.
set The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser has
brown overboard Mr. Crittenden and Gen. Scott,
as candidates for the next Presidency, on the
ground that they= are both too old, The Com.
meet-141 wanta a young man and a man of mus
cle, bat indicates no preferences by name. Row
would Heenan or Morrisey do? They are "men
of mottle." The Commercial was formerly old
line Whig, but is now a sort of hard-shell Re
publican.
OPPOSITION PIZESIDIINT.—Tb, business of
making candidates for the Presidrey seems to
be pretty well attended to by newspaperdom.—
The opposition prints are partienlitrly nervous in
that direction. The Baltimore ; Patriot, after
disposing summarily of the chances of about
twenty aspirants, simmers down On the follow.

"The Hon. S. Cameron is in the field as a clan.
didate. His wonderful energy, not, shrewdness,
sad experience, his greet pecutliary resources,
and proverbial devotion to all Pennsylvania in•
wrests and especially to the tariff, will, in all
probability, give him the Pennsylvania deletes-.

Convention Pennsylvania will be a great power
The People's party originated in the Middle
States, and represent the pacific, moderate, and
comprehensive ideas of that section of the Union.
Pennsylvania is the heart of that party. in its

whether he will receive the hearty support which
will be tietteasary to make the vote of Pentisyl

We believe that the nominee for President
will be John Bell, of Tecuessee, or Edwerd•

with the prediction. Both of these are men of

AIL EDIT011—"Ooe of the rsopte,b w o
styles me his friend, appears is the last Observer
on the suhjeet of Gas lights: 'ThrWritie &tea
not go muob into the merits of thettAjost, but
falls into some errors which should be oorrected.
For answer to most of leis commuttleatitre I
refer Lim to a reply to He member , of Cowne4l"
which will appear in the mit IMO*? of lb.
Dispatch.
—The writer seems to think the eminetis, if
they light at all, would not have &ackbone en
ough to stand up and do only whit Would be
reasonable end right
,fim the district, but- in
answer to a general demand for gee, which he
says would follow, the Councils would be ob
liged to erect 250 or 300 lamps This is en
tirely begging the question. Brea the Commits
Jae, who would place the lamps is the corn ields
and live 'sere lots where nobody lives, only got ,
a
the number up to 285. But if be fears snob
clamor for the gas lights as to overaw the
councils, he must think the people want the
lights
It is to be presumed however that if the Conn
oils light the streets, they would exercise a fair,
proper and sound judgment, such as would do
justice to the district. This they would un
doubtedly do, so there eau be no fear on that
snore.
But the writer says my motive is to have the
lights on the street where I live, and make money
for the Company.
tinder the set of 1855, we had the gas ow
that street and we want it still; and we are tril
ling that oar property there and elsewhere shall
assist to pay for the gas there and on other streets
which reasonably require to be lighted.
And as to the Company making money, it is
certainly hut right and fair that those who have
invested their money in the company, which is
to benefit every citizen, should at some time have
some reasonable return So far, I ;egret to say,
no stockholder has ever received a farthing. Is
this right, just, or honorable? I think the tiriter
himself will admit it is not. A good portin of
the time the works have not paid ezperuses, and
have had to go in debt for street main and other
materials
Should matters remain as they are, and the
Company be obliged to abut of chag•a entirely,
• result not unlikely, I think it would be but a
short time till we would bear a louder howl for
gas than the writer has yet beard. There is
such a thing u carrying an opposition to the des
true lion of every interest, and which the public
would extremely regret.
lint there is not a resident stockholder who
d oes not own i muesli larger proportion of real
estate in the gas district than in the stock of the
ciao Company. it itithe gas they want; that is
the prime object, and all are willing that their
property shall pay its share towards a reasonable
number of lights. If in so doing they should
get back any small amount on the mosey they
have had se ioug invoated with o ut toy r et urn ,
surely it would be but right. They would be
taking it out of one band , to pot in t other—
s prooess which would not very mnc,ti he
benefit
them or injure any one else.
The writer asks bow I know the public wish
the lights. I answer, in the same way which be
might know it, and which the Councils do know,

But the writer says that the proposition of
the Company took the Councils by surprise. In
this be is quite mistaken. Weeks before, the
substance of the offer was known to some members
of the Councils, and also that a conlinittee had
been appointed by the Company to meet a com
mittee of Councils with a view to an arrange
ment. ft was attempted in Councils to appoint
such committee, but the attempt - Ailed. Some
of the Council were in favor of appointing the
committee, but a majority refused. But slum
that a direot vote was taken in the Common
Council on the propoaitlou, which all must admit
is fair, and it turned out that four members who
were present, were not sufficiently "SlOprilled"
to vote for it. WM. S. LANK.

session of Congress, but the Republicans refused
to al 3 / 4 pw her to home in—thniPshowing their de,
votion to freedom. She is again applying for
admission, and it is rumored that a emulated at%

of the N, Y. Times is responsible for the follow

"At one time It was antioiPated the Oregon
bill would become a law at au 1 early day in the
session, with little or no opposition. Some honk
however, have just leaked out whith develop
well laid plan for the defeat of the bill. Mni
Davis, of Md., will move an amendment in the
nature of an 'enabling act' for Kansas, and this
will receive the united support of the Republig
cans, with some Democratic recruits. Mr. Horatio
F. Clark and Mr. John Cochran of N. Y., are
among those pledged to its support. We ex.
peoted the Speaker will rule the amendment out
of order. Indeed, the leaders of the plot admit
that such an amendment *mid be out of ceder,
and to dodge the tlfty.tirst rule they will christen
their' bantling s 'substitute.' An appeal will be
taken from the ruling of the Speaker, and the
combination kinked, it is believed, will be able
to suatain the appeal, end adopt the substitute.
This being done, a new combination will take
plan, and the Black Kepakdiones voting with the
Lecompton Democrats will defeat the whole bill.
It is possible that Oregon would bare she emoting
vote should the neat Presidential vete be thrown
into the Reuse, and kenos the Rapubihnin an.
iety to defeat the bill admitting her as a State.
The whole thing has been managed up to this
time with the greatest crease; but 'murder will
