The Texas Pacific Subsidy Scheme.
A correspondent of the New York 7W-
bune, writing from Washington, lifts a
veil which is alleged to cover the opera
tions of a formidable ring of subsidises
operating in behalf of the Texas Pacific
Railroad. After giving a history of the
legislation chartering the Texas Pacific
Railroad in 1871, the subsequent coup
d'etat by which General Fremont was
ousted and Colonel Thos. A. Scott came
to the front, and the organization under
a California charter of a construction
company attachment on the principle of
the Credit Mobilier, the writer says:
A contract was made with the railroad
company to construct the whole line of
road for $40,000 per mile. The estimated
average cost per mile was $20,000, so
that the construction ring figured out a
profit on the whole 1,700 rnilfs of $34,-
000,000. A portion of the stock of the
construction company, like that of the
Credit Mobilier, was placed ‘‘where it
would do most good. *’ The lobbyists and
their tools in Congress pretended to pay
cash for it, and if brought to book by an
investigating committee will assert that
they bought it with their own money. If
the whole truth comes out, it will proba
bly be found that they got it for nothing,
just as the Credit Mobilier men got
theirs, but in a different way. For every
dollar paid in for stock a land grant bond
of the railroad of the same amount, be
ing seven per cent, interest, was given
the stockholder.
In the cases of members of Congress
or their representatives, it is said that the
lobby arranged matters in this way: the
land grant bonds issued for the stock ap
portioned to them were hypothecated
with certain Pennsylvania banks for
money to pay for the stock, and the paid-
up shares were handed over, so that not
a cent of the money of the recipients of
these shares ever left their pockets. The
cjnstruction stock was therefore as much
a bribe as the Credit Mobilier shares. In
one case it was paid for in land grant
bonds, and in the other in dividends.
The stock is not worth twenty cents on
a dollar iu Wall street. Should the bill
subsidizing the Texas Pacific by guaran
teeing the interest on its bonds to the ex
tent of $ 40,000 a mile pass, the stock
would run up to par at once, for the in
dorsed bonds would be turned over to the
construction company as fast as issued,
and would speedily go a long way above
par, because the enormous profits to be
earned by the company under its contract
with the railroad would make it the best
stock in the market The magnitude of
the job Congress is asked to give life to
may be understood from these facts.
We have opposed this Credit Mibilier
scheme, and shall continue to oppose it
upon principle. We hold ,that there is
no Constitutional authority for Congress
voting either the money or the'eredit of
the government, in aid of schemes of
internal improvement belonging to and
controlled by private corporations. Such
use of the government money or credit
was never contemplated by the framers
of the Constitution, and should under
no circumstances be sanctioned by Con
gress. True, the Radical party have es
tablished more than one precedent for
such a departure *froin equitable and
sound governmental economy, and the
only argument of any force urged by the
parties interested iu the enormous subsi
dy schemes now before Congress, is based
on these precedents. Because the North
ern Pacific aud Central Pacific Railroads,
and other gigantic private enterprises in
the North have been liberally subsidized,
it is claimed as simple justice that simi
lar aid should be extended to the Texas
Pacific, an important Southern enter
prise. If by adopting this policy mat
ters could be equalized, or if the vast
sums of money which Consress has vo
ted to corrupt corporations in the shape
ot subsidies could be restored to the
treasury, there might be some temp
tation to the tax-payers to com
promise principle with expediency.
But neither of these results are attain
able by a continuance of the subsidy
policy. The Texas Pacific is a Northern
enterprise under Southern pretences, and
the appropriation of millions of dollars,
asked from Congress in the shape of in
terest endorsement, would enure direct
ly to the profit of the combination of
Northern capitalists aud speculators,
who comprise the corporation. Be
sides, if Congress is to nurse another
Credit Mobilier into life at the South,
it will not come alone, but will be ac
companied by a whole brood of similar
schemes, to put money into the pockets
of adventurous speculators and unprin
cipled lobbyists, at the expense of the tax
payers of the country. Already the bur
den of taxation is almost insupportable,
in eome of the Southern States, amount
ing very nearly to confiscation, and unless
the corrupt and profligate system of
government expenditure, inaugurated by
the party at present in power, is promptly
and effectually checked, the nation will
soon be involved in hopeless bankruptcy.
The motto of the people should be—no
more subsidies—diminish, not increase,
taxation. Let ushave peace, and let the
material progress of the country catch up
■with its internal improvements—already
in advance of the public necessity—and
when the peace and prosperity of
the Union is restored, and more rail
roads are needed to the Pacific, private
enterprise will build them.
It been observed that at the last
session of Congress Beast Butler, in obe
dience to Grant’s wishes, helped very
effectively to keep them from passing
th* Senate civil rights bill: but this win
ter both he and Grant are ready to favor
& modified civil rights bill. Both of them
expect to make their game in troubled
waters and sectional discord.
Is There a Conspiracy Against
Capital ?
It is likely that if any member of the
present General Assembly of Georgia
were to have the question put to him :
Are you engaged in a conspiracy to drive
capital out of the State ? he would pro
test against the insinuation suggested
by the interrogation, and stoutly con
tend that, so far from conspiring against
capital, he was in favor of inviting it
here by every means within the reach of
legislation. Notwithstanding this, and
strange as the fact may appear to the
thoughtful reader, there are at this mo
ment three different bills pending before
the Legislature which—whatever the ob
ject of their authors may be—will tend
to drive capital out of the State.
1. There is the bill for the re-enact
ment of the usury law. Waiving all the
absurd hair-splitting as to whether money
is property, it must be plain, even to a
school boy, that money is a marketable
article—something that is daily bought
and sold—and that therefore, it must be,
at least so far as the laws of supply and
demand are concerned, a commodity.
Admit that money is a commodity—a
fact about which all authorities on politi
cal economy are agreed—and you admit
at once that the only effect of legislative
restrictions—if they have any effect at
all—would be to cause it to seek other
and more favorable markets. Where
usury laws are really effective, their ten
dency is not to lower the pnee of money,
but to drive it away from the jurisdic
tion of such legislation. But it is useless
to argue a- proposition that amounts to an
axiom.
2. There is the bill to do away with
some of the most important safeguards
which, experience has demonstrated, are
necessary for the protection of insurance
companies. The law, as it stands, was
not made to protect the companies
against honest policy-holders, nor do we
believe it is possible, where the careful
ness that ought to enter into the most
ordinary business transaction is exer
cised, that the conditions which it is the
intention of Judge Reese’s bill to render
nugatory, can be used to the disad
vantage of the assured. These conditions
simply protect the companies against
fraud and dishonesty, aud, as far as our
observation extends, holders of policies
are emphatic in their condemnation of
any movement which would leave the in
surance companies practically at the
mercy of any person who might desire
to swindle them. The effect of the pas
sage of this bill would bo to drive away
au immense amount of capital which is
now used iu Georgia, a result that might
well be looked upon as a public disaster.
Moreover, if some company bolder than
the rest and readier to risk its capital,
were to continue business in the State,
Judge Reese’s proposed law would fall far
short of compensating policy-holders for
the increased premiums: so that the re
sult would be that in the end the honest
persons among the assured would have to
pay heavily for the rascality of others.
3. There is the bill to repeal the law
exempting manufactories from taxation
for a period of ten years. It is proposed
to repeal this exemption clause on the
general ground that it is class legislation,
and some of the arguments to that effect
really appear to be plausible; but it is
only in appearance. No elaboration is
necessary to thoroughly dispose of all
that has been said in favor of repeal.
Capital invested in factories gives em
ployment where there was no employ
ment before, and creates taxable property
where none previously existed. This is
obvious. It follows, then, that capital
(invested iu factories) is in every way de
sirable. It adds to the general prosperi
ty and materially increases taxable values
independent of the mere investment in
machinery, etc. Therefore the exemp
tion of this capital is not only
for the purpose of increasing the
general prosperity, but is in some re
spects a mere ruse on the part of wise
legislators to add to the taxable property
of the State. Moreover the exemption
clause either invites capital or it does
not. If it does, the results above noted
certainly follow. If it does not, then
there is an end of it, and the exemption
works neither good nor harm.
In the foregoing we have briefly, but,
as we think, fairly, sketched the chief
features of the measures, which, if they
are entered upon our statute books, will
not only erect a barrier against capital
that may have a tendency to flow in this
direction, but will drive out of the State
a large amount that is now employed
here.
The Freedman’s Bank.—A Washing
ton dispatch says the bill reported from
the Banking and Currency Committee to
amend the charter of the Freedman’s
Savings Bank is strongly opposed by
leading colored men. It proposes one
commissioner instead of three to wind
up the bank’s affairs. The person de
signed for the place is named Leopyld,
one of the present three, and he is said
to have avowed that he had no sympathy
with the colored people, but was in the
matter for reputation and money.
Though devoid of sympathy with the
colored people, he is well understood to
feel strong sympathy for the Jay Cooke
interest, which appears to have ruined
the bank.
The Atlanta Lobby at Work.—The
Atlanta News says a powerful lobby is
employed in using its influence against the
passage of certain bills now pending be
fore the Legislature, among them the bill
to submit the question of a constitutional
convention to the people. The News is of
the opinion that “if the lobby can pre
vent it, the people of the State will not
be .given an opportunity of saying wheth
er or not they desire a convention called.”
We were in hopes that the present Gene
ral Assembly was composed of members
who could manage the legislation which
they were sent there to transact, without
the aid of a lobby.
The Prospect Brightening.—By our
Washington dispatch it will be seen that
the increase of the public debt for the
month of January is cue million and a
quarter. This explains the call by the
President for an increase of taxes to the
amount of forty million of dollars. A
few years more of Radical profligacy
and extravagance, with hundredsjof mil
lions added to the national debt in the
shape of railroad and steamship, subsidies,
and the country will be hopelessly involved
in irremediable bankruptcy.
Ex-Rebels in Congress.—A Washing
ton special to the New York Post says:
“It appears from the list of Representa
tives and Senators in the next Congress,
that eighty-five persons have been elected
and will occupy seats, who either served
in the rebel army or held civil positions
under the Confederate Government. Some
Republicans regard this fact as very sig
nificant” So do we. In it there is hope
for the Republic.
Sheridan is reported to have visited
the Teche country “for purposes of re
laxation.” The Brooklyn Argus says
persons who have seen little Phil during
these rare intervals when he is trying to
‘‘relax,” can generally get some idea of
the suffering endured by the conscien
tious toper who has rashly signed the
temperance pledge.

not if the bill provided peremptorily for
calling a Convention. The basis of repre
sentation is a bone of contention.

REQUA RISES.
There was one ballot to-day. The friends
of Requa, thinking that if they did not go
in they never would get squeezed, made a
venture and got for their candidate twenty-
two votes.
A POOR SHOWING.
Considering that this aspirant has been
regarded as having no merit except a long

well for the improving virtne of Republican
members. Walker, 5; McLin, b; Bullock, 37;

A CLOSE SHAVE.
General Bullock lacked but two votes of
winning the prize. It was said yesterday
that these two had been secured from the
other side, but when the finale came they
Were not on hand.
CHANCE FOB A CONSERVATIVE.
The impression is getting strong that a
Conservative will be elected, as it appears
impossible for the Republicans to unite.
The colored members don’t want to touch a
carpot-bagger. They will take his money
and vote for him as a compliment, but that’s
all.
A HOrE.
If tho Conservatives make a judicious
nomination in the caucus to-night, I hope
to telegraph you to-morrow the end of the
struggle, in the election of a man of sound
views.
TROUBLE AMONG THE RADICALS.
There will be stormy times in the Repub
lican canons to-night. An effort will be
made to combine on Requa, and if that
fails there will be a burst up.
In six years the public printing in
South Carolina—that is, from 18G8 to
1874—cost three million dollars. In In
diana, for the same period, it was a hun
dred thousand dollais, and yet the latter
has twice the population and several
times the wealth. The same party appa
rently governed both States, but the one
(Indiana) was under the control of the
tax-payers and the other was not, being
merely under the dictation of the United
States military' for the'benefit of carpet
bag adv enturers. And then it should be
borne in mind that it takes a mighty
sight of printing to enable people who
cannot read to understand the laws by
which they are governed.

Washington, February 1.—In the Senate,
Mr. Pratt, of Indiana, presented joint reso
lutions of the Indiana Legislature in favor
of granting pensions to the surviving soldiers
of the Mexican war, which were ordered to
be printed and lie on the table. Mr. Pratt
said this matter had been discussed by the
committee, but no conclusions had yet been
reached. He sent to tbe Clerk’s desk and
had read a letter from the Commissioner of
Pensions in answer to an inquiry addressed
to him by tho chairman of the committee
(Pratt,) In which the Commissioner states
the estimated number of survivors of the
Mexican war is 35,604, and the estimated
number of widows of soldiers who served in
that war 12,600.
Mr. Morton, of Indiana, presented a me
morial, signed by the officers of the Women’s
National Christian Temperance Union and
one hundred thousand other persons,
against the manufacture and importation or
sale of alcoholic liqnors as a beverage in tbe
District of Columbia. Referred to the
Committee on Commerce.
Mr. Norwood, of Georgia, presented the
resolutions of the Legislature of that State
condemning the Federal interference in
Louisiana. Ordered to be printed and he
on the table.
Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania, from the Com
mittee on Claims, reported back several
memorials for compensation for quarter
masters’ stores taken by the army dur
ing the late war, and the committee
was discharged from further considera
tion of the same. He said these claims
could havo been filed under the stat
ute before the Commissioner of Claims, be
fore the time expired, a* a bill was now
pending before Congress to extend tho time
for fi ing claims of this character; the Com
mittee on Claims had decided to take no ac
tion on ancU claims until the policy of Con
gress on extending the time should be set
tled.
The Senate then resumed the considera
tion of tho resolution of Schnrz, instructing
the Judiciary Committee to inquire what
legislation is necessary by Congress to se
cure to the people of Louisiana the rights of
self-government under tbe Constitutiou.
Mr. West, of Louisiana, and Mr. Morrill,
of Vermont, spoke. Sargent, of California,
has the floor for to-morrow.
The Committee on Appropriations have
agreed to the followiug items in the sundry
civil bill for public buildings at the places
named: Charleston, $151,000, Raleigh, $50,-
000.
On the assembling of the Honse this
morning the Speaker proceeded to tho call
of States for biiis for reference, beginning
with the State of Maine.
Mr. Halo, of Maine, introduced tho reso
lution to change the rules of tbe House by
the adoption of the new rule which was
telegraphed at noon.
Mr. Cessna, of Pennsylvania, also offered
a resolution to change the rules, providing,
in addition to a rule substantially tbe same
as the one offered by Mr. Hale, of Maine,
that the Judiciary Committeo may report
bills of a public character on Tuesdays
and Thursdays, aud that the House may,
by a majority vote, dispense with a further
readiug of the journal after its reading
shall have occupied thirty minutes.
A point of order was also made upon it by
Mr. Randall, discussed and overruled, and
the resolution referred to the Committee on
Rules.
Au appeal from the decision of the chair
was taken by Messrs. IUndall and Beck.
The appeal was presented iu writton form
as follows: “Tbe undersigned take an appeal
from the decision of the chair made this
day, which permits tho reading of a House
resolution intended for reference to tho
Committeo on Rules to the exclusion of the
business first provided for to be proceeded
with in ra e 130.” This is signed by Samuel
Randall and James B. Beck.
Mr. Garfield objected to the presentation
of such a paper setting out what tho Speak
er’s decision was.
The Speaker remarked that the appeal
was presented in an unusual way. He had
not decided that snch resolution should be
received to the exclusion of the business
first provided for.
Mr. Randall—That is what I say in nay ap
peal. ♦
The Speaker—But neither the gentleman
from Pennsylvania uor the gentleman from
Kentucky (Mr. Beck) has a right to say so.
The matter should go before tho House
regularly. The paper presented is wholly
unusual.
After some further colloquy the Speaker
stated that ho had roduced to writing his
decision, which was that a reso
lution to amend the rules may be
road and referred to the commit
tee on rules during the first call of
States in tbe morning hour of Monday, and
that constitutes notice according to the
usage of the House, and from that decision
the gentleman from Pennsylvania had ap
peal. Mr. Randall’s statement of the appeal
uaving been handed back to him, he stated
that he bad not withdrawn it, and was in
formed by tho Speaker that there was no
necessity for witfidrawing it, as the Chair
had not read it. An attempt at farther dis
cussion was defeated by loud calls for the
regular order.
Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, moved to lay Mr.
Randall’s appeal on the table. Agreed to—
veas, 175; nays, 84; a strict party vote.
Mr. Cessna’s resolution was then referred
to the Committee on Rules.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, moved to
suspend the rules so as to allow the Com
mittee on Rules to report at the present
time for consideration, amendment and ac
tion any new rules or changes of rules, and
providing that during the consideration
aud discussion of #uch report and amend
ment offered thereto, the Speaker shall
entertain no di atory motion whatever, and
that the discussion ou tho rules and the
amendments thereto shall not exceed one
hour.
There was great excitement as the vote
progressed, and particularly when it became
known that the necessary two-thirds had
not been obtained, it lacking four of that
number when the roll call was finished.
Messengers were sent to the committee
rooms to look for absent members, and
everv effort was made on the part of the
majority to Secure the necessary two-thirds.
After the reading of the names, but before
the announcement of tne vote, Mr. Williams,
of Wisconsin, rose aud voted ave. Whore-
upou Mr. Randall asked the Speaker whether
tho gentleman (Mr. William*) was in the
hall during the roll-call as required by the
rule.
The Speaker intimated to Mr. Randall
that he was not justified in suggesting that
any member would offer to vote if not en
titled to do so.
Mr. Itandall replied that he had meant no
imputation on any one and would not allow
the Speaker to endeavor to make him ap
pear as if ho had.
The Speaker said he could not regard it
as the right of any member to catechise
another member on such a point.
Mr. Williams said be did not regard Mr.
Randall as capable of putting an imputation
on his veracity. He had not voted at first
because, when his name was called, he was
in conversation with a gentleman.
Mr. Randall replied that the gentleman
from Michigan should not reflect upon him
in any particular.
Mr. Williams—Does the gentleman cast a
suspicion cn me now, that I was not within
the hall daring roll-cali?
Mr. Randall—I do not, and I will not allow
tlic gentleman to reflect on me either.
Mr. Williams—Then why did yon put the
question?
Mr. Randall—Because I wanted it dis
tinctly understood.
After Mr. Williams had voted aye, Mr.
Pelham, of Alabama, also voted aye, and
Mr. McNolta, of Illinois, was ready to vote
the same wav, bat stated that he was in the
corridor and*not in the hall daring the roll
call. The vote was then announced a# yeas
170, nays 86—less than two-thirds in" the
affirmative, so the motion was rejected—the
only exception to the vote being a strict
party one was that Mr. Sener, of Virginia, a
Republican, voted no. His vote tbe other
way would nave carried the motion.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, moved to
suspend the rules so as to authorize the
Committee on Boles to report, immediately
after the reading of the journal to-morrow*
changes and amendments to the rules, ana
providing that daring the consideration of
such report no dilatory motions whatever
shall.be entertained by the Speaker,and that
all debate thereon shall cease within one
hour after the report shall be made.
Air. Eidridge, of Wisconsin, moved an
adjournment, which was negatived by yeas
and nays.
The vote was then taken on Batleris
motion and, amid renewed excitement, it
wa3 rejected—yeas, 173; nays, 89; not two-
thirds in the affirmative. Mr. Sener, of Vir
ginia, was the only Republican who voted in
the negative.
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, then moved to take
a recess till ten o’clock to-morrow morning.
Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, suggested
that inasmuch as the majority could do
what it liked, the recess be till twelve o’clock
to-inorrow, and that ail to-morrow's session
be considered as that of Monday, so that
the majority might do all the mischief it
choose.
Mr. Garfield’s motion was adopted by yeas
167, nays 85, and the House, at six o'clock
took a recess till 10 o’clock to-morrow morn
ing, when Monday's session will be re
sumed.

Resolution of the Caucus Committee.
THE SENATE CAUCUS ACTION ON THE TRANS
PORTATION QUESTION.
Washington, February 1.—At a caucus
meeting of the Republican members of the
Senate, several woeks ago, a committee was
appointed to report what action should be
taken this session on the transportation
question. Senator Windom. of Minnesota,
who for the past two years has been chair
man of the Select Committee on Transpor
tation Routes to the Seaboard,was appointed
chairman of this caucus committee, and
to-day, in its behalf, reported to tho caucus,
which was spec ally convened to determiae
the party’s action on the subject. He sub
mitted the following preamble and resolu
tion, which were, with almost entire unan
imity, adopted and authorized to bo made
public. They will be offered in the Senate
to-morrow when, of course, they will be
ratified:
Whereas, The power to regulate com
merce among the several States conferred
upon Congress by the Constitution includes
the power to aid and facilitate commerce by
tbe employment of snch means as may be
appropriate and plainly adapted to that end ;
and, whereas, Cougre-s may, therefore, in
its discretion, provide for the im
provement or creation of such channels or
highways of commerce as will in
its judgment afford the cheapest and
best facilities for interchange of commodi
ties between the different States of the
Union : aud, whereas, it is believed that the
thorough and systematic improvement of
the Mississippi river, including an adequate
channel at its mouth, the connection of tne
Mississippi river with the lakes by means of
the Fox and Wisconsin improvement,
and the Hennepiu canal, the speedy com
pletion of tbe improvements between Lakes
Superior and Huron, and Lakes Huron and
Erie, a systematic improvement of tho Ohio
and Kanawha, and of the Tennessee rivers,
are works of great national importance, and
of immediate and pressing necessity, which,
when completed, will materially reduce the
cost of transportation, and thereby di
minish the burdens now borne by the in
dustrial interes's of tho country; there
fore—
Resolved, That in addition to tho usual
and necessary appropriations made in the
river and harbor bill for works already
uuder charge of the government, including
the Missouri river, the Committee on Com
merce be instructed to insert in said bill such
sums as, in their judgment, having due re
gard to recommendations of the chief of
engineers and tho commission appointed to
report upon the mouth of the Mississippi
river, can be judiciously and economically
expended during the next fiscal year upon
the improvements above indicated, looking
to their speedy completion, and the wants
of our rapidlyincreasing internal commeroe.
