As tho solicitor of the Government, Mr. Whiting took the ground that, inasmuch o8 thesa lines wore built by tho Xansas Pacific, Contral Paoific, and Union Pacific Railroads un- der tho same auspices, their obligations to the Qovernment wero of the sama_charactor, and that, notwithetanding the fact tho Atlantlo and Paciflo Company hind leasad tho linos, the Gov- ernmont right to half rates was not lmFlfll’Bfl- It was slso beld that the Westorn Union having buwilt its own lino withont Qovernment aid, was not debarred from charging and collecting full rates.

TENRITONIAT, MATTERS. Tho Commiltoe on Terrstories woro ontltled to tho mnru(n? hour in tho Houso to-day, nand used most of itin the roading of a voluminons bill incorporating tho Holunn&: Northorn Utah Rall way umnnnx—n corporation which sooms to ro- uire & gurprising amount of legisiation to give it a logal oxIstonce, Tho roading was not finished in tima for any action, and tho bill was with- drawn to givo placo to the Colorado bill, which wont ovor till to-morrow, without dobate. A numbor of smondments wore offerod, ono of which provides for tho admission of Utali as tho “Btato of Doserot,” with vory stringont provis- iona ngainat furthor polygamous marringes, and for tho ontiro abandonmont of thoso alrendy contractod nftor tho oxpiration of ton yoars, Tho tempor of tho Iouso towards this bill s ono of groat indifforonce. No party advan- tage in to bo galned by making Col- orado n Btato, a3 was tho case when Nobraska aud Novada wore admitted, and it is difticult to got momboars to fool any intorost on iho subject. The fricnds of tho bill exprosa doubts ag to its fato on this sccount.

This 1aw, o far aa tho Biate Depnrtment I8 awaro, romains unoxcouted, anditis fonred that the rocontly Issuod rogulations pro- fosgodly for its “oxcoution are wholly " in- ndoquato to any ractionl Tesulb in favor of omancipation, if thoy Lo not roally in intorest of tho slave-holdor Aud of the con- tinuance of tho institutlon o allwurz. ‘While tho United Btatos fully noknowledgos tholr obll- gotion to tho gonoral rulo which roquiros a nation to abstain from Intorforonco in tho do- mostic concorns of othors, ciroumstancos wnr~ rnub partinl oxcoptions to bhls rulo, to tho eup- port of which tho Booretary ontors into an agreomont, and says all who countonance lule- WArmnens or no%]uch in cnrrying omanclpation into offect must moro or loss bo liablo to tho charge of duplicity or bad faith, o chnrge which evory man of lonor in high station ought to on- donvor to ayold. Gonoral Bickles is instruoted, in doclsivo but rospeotful torms, to romonstrate against tho apparent failure of Bpain to carry into offect the emoncipntion act to which sho s committed. If 8Bpain pormits hor authority to bo virtunlly and practically dofied in Cubn by rofusal or nogloct to earry into offect tho acts of tho 1Iomo Governmont of a humane tondenoy, it is tantamount to an_soknowledgment of tho in~ abllity to control the insurroolion in Oubn. Mr.I'lsh says it hos now lnstod four yoars, Attompts to nuppmss it, mo for futile, hava boon mado probably at a sscrificc of moro than 100,000 livos sand an incaleula- ble amonnt of proporty. Our commeroial and othor conneotions with' that Island compel ug to tako n warm intorost in its ponceful and ordaily condition, without which thero caunot be prosperity. Cuba, being soparatod from this couutry by a narrow pasasge, the tomptation for reoklods adventurers hore to violato our law and ombark In hostilo expeditions thither, . ia gront, dospito the unquestioned vigilanco of this Govornmont to maintaln its duty and offorts with which approachos to tho island havo boon guarded by Bpanish oruisers, Tho enid proximity has lod tho Oubans and other partisans of tho lnsnrgnnts to tako up thoir 8bodé in the Dnited Btates, actunted by tho hopo that that proximity would ennble thom advantageously to plot and act for the advance- ‘mont of thoir oauso In tho Island. Tho Suurahr{ 8ays, wo cortninly have rcason to oxpoot that tho groat strain upon our watch- fuluess to thwart thoso schomos, occasioned by long duration of hostilities in Cuba, should bave somoe tormination, thmnghnauantfon of causes, which hitherto g heon supposed to mnko it noccssary for tho discharge of our duty as n noutral. " Ever sinco tho insurrcction bogan, wo havo, he eays, ropoatedly boen called upen to dischargo theso dutles, In the performance of thom wo are conscious of no neglect; but tho trisl to our fmpartinlity by the want of succoss on thepart of Spain in suppressing the revolt, is nocossarily so sovore, that, unloss sho shall soon bo moro succossful, ft will force upon this Governmont tho consideration of the quostion whethor duty to itsolf and tho commercial interoests of its citizens may not do- mand somo chango in tho line of actlon it has thus far pursuod. Tho Sccrotary rominds Genoral Bicklea of tho caaes respocting citizens of this country of tho ciuseloss soizures of ostatos which bave boon roforrod backward and forward botween Madrid aud Havana to tho vory vorgo of tho oxhaustion of all pationce. the moantime tho Ilmpark.y of oltizons of the United Btates hag boen held in violation of tho treaty betwoon this country and Spain, T'ho Secrotary. furthersays to General Bickles, “It is hoped that you will Erusont the views above eot forth, and presont tho griovances of which this Gov-~ ornmont 88 justly complaina to the Government towhich you ara acoredited, in a way which, without giving offonco, will have the conatruc- tion that wo are in onrnoot in oxprossing thoeso viows, and that wo oxpeot radross, and that if it shall not soon be afforded, Bpain 'must not bo surprised to fin as tho inovitablo result of its dolay, & marked chango in tho feoling and tomper of the pooplo and of the Qovernment of tho'United Blates.

As lato ay March Iast, tho Dritish Governmont represonted to our own that its attention had boeon partionlarly dirested to the alave trade on tho oast const of Africa, to the system hithorto anuufl and the saorifices mado by Groat Britain in nttempling to suppress it, and to the possi- bility of fiuvlning moro offcctual means to " oftain _{hat objeot, Aud that tho subject had also ‘beon inquired into by Parlinmentary commitiees. Upon mature consideration of the entiro question, Hor 3faj- esty's Govornmont has como to the conclusion that alono and unsupported it conld not coufl- dontly hope to oxtingalsh tho trade, but with the co-operation of the other groat powers in- terestod in tho prospority of East Africs, it was thought tho objoot might bo attainod, first, by inducing tho Bultsn of Zanzibar ~ to swrondor his rosorved treaty priviloge to transport slavos sen - within his own dominions for domestic lzbor.
