This cry of ‘Torn Scott'—I state this with all '''spect for Mr. Norwood, for whom ! personally entertain the highest esteem— is hut a Imghear. He only repeats what has lx-en so often said b fore by those " hose interest it is to defeat a competing line which would be so beneficial to the whole country North and South, and would do no injury to anybody or to any interest, except to the extent it might lessen the dividends of the present huge inononoly to vvliich 1 have referred.

The California company, known as the Southern Pacific, as I understand, is controlled by the own- vs of the Central Paeific, i iv.v running from San Fran cisco to Ogden, and the Union Pacific, now rminii.g from Ogden to Omaha.

From t!K! maps jnihlishetl by them it would seem their that Ga two veston objective a,,d points Organs as bnmm, were but I am veiy much inclined to think their object is, when they have reached Maricopa Wells, west of El Paso, to diverge northeastvvainly ton,nil Suita t>. connecting with s am- o.her road in that direction, and thus controlling what is known as the 4 &n*at meat country,’ as tributary to the present monopoly. This would most probably resuU also in the ultimate completion <>t' the loads to Galveston and New Grleans, but allthis :s mere conjecture. ’ k 'iIo\v is it. Mr. Mcpiicns. in your ^Pud^n. Unit this Southern ['audic Co., of C.diiorma, manag s to raise the mi mens.-amount of money it is actually and without doubt spending the con stnu.tio ol its ptiyost e mad . , ‘-My opinion is that this money cranes from the Central I’aeilic and Union : I’aeilic companies. This Southern I’aeilic. so-called, Ms, iu mv judgment, I bat an offshoot of tins huge ; to whtcli.1 have.referred... Iheir profits are enormous, far h-yond eight percent., and excess of these profits, in my opin j ion, is the source from which the money ft you refer to is derived, and hence seems to come with a very rll-graee from ! them now to talk about u so called, to the Texas Pacific. Tlie truth t js, the thu ifie I)! 1 ! ’'ntv^dueed by rue, asks nothing of the Government except the guaranty of the interest on its txn.ds lor a hunted titne. with the amplest security to indemnify against anv probable or even is.ss.bte loss to the Uoveninient. It is nett known that a very large and nn' sulisidy was given bv the Goveniluent to the Central aud Union roads. *\'ui,s.,|y. indeed ! These eoinpinies, beside immense donations tif laud, got the obligation of the Government, not to ijnarnntij the interest oil their lends, but to js’j the interest annually accruing thereon tor fifty years! audtiie Govern iiieut, if L mistake not, lias actually paid nearly a hundred millions in casa already from the public treasury, ami. according to the charters of these r tails, will have to pay almost, if not tpiile, as mticli more b fore le maturity of tnese Iko.iL. The Texas Picllic does not ask the Govenuuent to pay a dime of interest on the bonds, except in the event ot default by the company. As to the im men.se and grants, I make no complaint, but 1 do mean to say that it comes witn uu illgrace from them or their agents for then: now to talk of -MOst /</ as to the Texas road. Ae« ordmg to iny view, they aie mnv using the excess of earn mgs of their own much greater sub suites for the illegitimate purjHise of defeating comiietiuuii against their present huge cormorant tyAiuupoiy. Tins xcess of earnings they ought now in good faith’ to be applying to the pay me.it ..f the i.iU irsl on tucir b mds finis relieving the Government—instead ol using them, as I believe they are, to defeat a rival line. When, acting in good faith, usually provided for the pay meat of their own debts before making gratuitious exp-mliture.-. for tl.e Umetit ot others. It is well known that these companies, at the 1st session, resisted Mr Tburinaii’s lull, which only re quii i d them, mu of the excess i f their profits over eight per cent., to provide and set aside a sinking fund to meet their Labilities oil toe bonds gtiai utecd by the Governm rit, , s staled vi nen they uuderto k the construetom of their loads. It is said that very large amounts "f money were expended by them for the pm pose oi preventing the passage of this most eminently just bill, llovvjlus is, I do not know : but it is well known toat they resisted that ifMasure. excess of profit of their own monopoly is, therefore, in m.v opinion, the source f.om which comes tile moi.ey you now ask me about, which is employed for the purpose of defeating any enterprise that will interfere with that monopoly. I, therefore, look upon t lie California Southern Pacific Co., so-called, as but a /jmj/m-k outgrowth of tins great giant mon.qxdy as statvd, which made sticu attempts to control the legislatiou ..1 Congress last session for its selfish 1 look ii.sm this proposal of the California Pacific Co., which Mr. Norwood m i ms to be so much taken with, as simply a ruse and a sham -a 'triek-of-the-itvecks'— intended to mis lead the legislation of hie country. North and South, from the best inlere*is of the entire country. It is, xtt.my’opinion : another sort of a “wooden horse,” iu tended for mischief instead of benefit to the friends of the real Southern and shortest continental line. I am indeed great question.*' “Wnat, Mr. Stephens do yon think of his criticisms ot' Ylr. Matthews' bill id the senate V” "I think he is very greatly mistaken in supposing that the real friends of the Texas Pacific have ever, or ever will, vote for the bill as reported by .Senator Matthews. Ilow tiiose changes fiap .pencil to bo made d-tiering from the bib introduced by m * iu tae lions Id* not know.

I certainly will vote for no hill that does not secure the construction of the main trunk of a road from the Pacific coast to some point on the eastern hank of the Mississippi river, and throughout the route as near the line of the, .TJ -leg, of 1 ititmle us is feasible and fav‘*r practicable, Thi. ts the ro ,t- I am iu ot. ami -so tarns I know toe Mmlbern Pacific Co. ot Calitorma lias never indicated the slightest purpose to construct such a road as this. 1 am for tlie main l rank only on the line described. As for the branches, they will necessarily all ........ ,hi e time, as the necessities tor them shall arise. There will inevitably I* branches to Galveston and New Orleans on the right, and branches to St. Louis and Memphis on the left. With the trunk thus constructed, the road eastward, from it? terminal point on the lift bank ot the Mississippi, will make its progress over existing roads tiuougii Mississippi.
