The chlef feature of the House proceedings was the incidentnl discussion of the proposed reductfon of the whisky tax, which arose upon the bill reported unaninously, with one excep- tion, from the Ways snd Means Committee, providing that the time for keeping distilled epirits In bonded warchouses be extended until June W vext, The argument made for the blil was that the agitation of the question of a re- duction of the tax,and uncertainty aboutit, was causing great depression in distiliation, and that fn many quarters business had been entirely guspenided. The Committee was unable to bring the Houee to & votaon It. - Members scemed in- disposcd 10 vote, for the reason that theie votes might bo nterproted to mean that they were for or avalnst e I tion, ‘The majority evidently IR ferred to meet thiat question on'its merits.

The Introduction of the Huntiugton bill was by Liia request.’” * ' WIIAT 18 NUNTINGTON'S ondzCT]"! “ There can be no doubt as to the purpose In view, It was tu embarrass and defeat the ‘Texas & Pacllic Road. 1t was not intended in gooil faith, and the teat is in refusing to acree to declariug the so<alled Southern Pacific a cowpeting route, and making Jt subject to the supervielon of Coungress. Alter baving been made rich and powerful by Congress, Mr. Huntington, backed by the Céntral Pacitic Rail- roud Company, proposes to DICTATA TO CONGRESS the terms upon which anotber linc of raflway to the Pacifiz shall be constructed and operated, and says, in terms, that such other line shall be under " his control, and that, upless it ts, no otuier sball be boilt. It wlil strike any oue who studies the question, that Huntington, controlling the Ceutral Pacific from Ogden to Ban Francisco, and controlling the Southern route from San Francisco to El Paso, will be absolute master of the mllmr business and travel to the Pacific Ocean. Iilzh tariffs of freights, and no competition, are the objective points in the Huatington scheme; and he can Iy an embarzo on the Unlon Pacificwhen his so- ealled Bouthern Pacitie reaches El Pasos and he can Iny an cmblrfo on the Texas & Paafle, and all the other roads connecting with his route. CHICAGD 18 NOT TUE CITY to favor Huntington's schcmes. The Itlivols Central has been recently extended by purchare to New Orleans; awd, {f u genulne Southern Pacific were built, and made a military and postal route, subject to the control of Congress, Chiengo would have two raflway lines to the Tactfic Blope, with low tariils and competition for freights. Jay Gould and Huntlogton are together, up to the present, in their rallrond- schemes; but it would be marvelous it Gounl shiould continue to favor Huntington's so-called Southern Pacific route to El Paso, which would enalle him to dictate to Gould and the Unlon Pacifie.”! *'WIAT DO THE BOUTHERY PEOPLE ASK |" 'Tne Southern peopls want, and have aright to nsk for, s through trunk-line of ratlway Mr. Blalne—=1 havo nu very distinct recollection except that the Senatar froii Maesnchasctis, then a fteprocentative In tho llunse, kept in very close and confidential Intercourse with me inevery siep of the whole proceedings in regard lo it.
