J: KELLER, ex Secretary and Treasurer, ‘The Southern Pacific Railroad and the Men- ster Land Swindle Before Congress. New Yorx, Deo. 6, 1856, Jams Gorpos Bmorsrr, Esq, Evrror oF tux New York Haratp:— ‘Se—Your paper of yesterday contains a letter from your correspondent at Washington, giving what purports to bee copy of « bill prepared by one of the committees of Congress, to aid the construction of several railroads | from the Atlantic to the Pacific, granting for that purpawe to various companies, according to your estimate amt that of your correspondent, more than 160 millions of acres of public lands, and more than five millions of dol- lars per annum. Ip your editorial comments of yester- day, you pame meas one of the parties associated to carry this measure through Congress. Erroneous state- ments affecting myself atone, are seldom contradicted by me through the public press, leaving to time, the great friend of truth, to supply the corrective. Your state- ment of yesterday, however, is repeated in your paper of this morning, and my friends insist that Congress and ‘he country shri be disabused from the impression that this measure is favored by me. I never beard of this bill until witbin a few days past; Inever was consulted with regard to any of ite pro- visions, por were they known to me until reading the bill as printed. I have never been engagod at any time im aiding the passage through Congress of any bill grant- img the public lands to any company, and the measures published by your correspondent could never receive my support. Throughout my long period of service in the Senate of the United States, and as Chairman of the Com- mittee of Public Lands, I always opposed grants of lands to companies. Whilst Secretary of the Treasury, the pub- lie \ands being then subjected to the supervision of that department, I uniformly opposed all such measures. Since retiring from pubiic life, my opinions and my course have remained unchanged, favoring such grants, on full equivalents, to States, but pever to companies. More than three year: oe, immediately after my cop- nection with the Pacific Railroad Company, 1! moved a resolution, which was then adopted by the board, and will be found upon its records declaring that ‘‘no grant of Jand or money to the company should be asked from Congress.” My suggestion then was, that sbould designate a route or routes to the Pac fic, ‘as practicable by reliable instrumental sarveys made by the government, that they should Ox, by law, a maximum om which they would pay yearly carrying a daily mail by railroad to the Pacific, and for ogee tion of United States troops, munitions of war, military and stores, and Gward the contract, like’ al oihor oa miracts, in fuil'and fair competition, to the lowest The corstitutionsl authority to pass such a bill is un. doubted, and bas been exercised evory year since the government was founded. In fixing # maximum sum which should be given for a pubiic service so important, the vastly enhanced value avd augmented eale and set- tlement of the public lands, whieh would follow the con. struction of such @ road through the domain of the government, might very properly be wken {ato consi. Geration. It is equally clear that such a road would gready inerease oar revenue from daties oa imports, as Woll af from postage. Indeed, suct a road would become the route jor the tek pbs, the mails, the specie, the paseepgere and light packsge goocs of our own country and of the world, and woilet greatl) enlarging our com- merce, augmenting our wealth and power, anv rendering our country in all its parte tavulnerabie to foreign ag gression, would tend more than anything else, next to the maintenance of the constitutional equaity of the Stoter, to preserve anc perpetugge the Union. er the able guidance of Wo eminent practical and scientilc exgiseer, Horatio Allen, of tte Novelty Works, of New York, so weil and favoravie known in this city, * at the bead of our company. and who, against oppo: sing Europea: opinions, was the first in the worid to pro- pore, in bis great report of 1829 to the Coarleston and Avgusta Reflroad, the use of tocometive eogines upon ratiroads, we are prosecuting the work succersfully through Texes, and will carry the road olgbt hundred milce through that Stats from its eastern to tts weet boundary at Ei Paso, wihout any grant of laud or money | from Congress.

Duc. 8—Counsel for Alderman Wilson, elect, and the other alleged First ward rioters, rose to make a motion for the postponement of the trial. He said that before the sommeneement of this term reasons existed then which did not exist now te urge the dofendants to remove the indictment from this court to the Court of Oyer and Tor- miner for trial. The reasons for that motion did mot reach his Honor, but om the contrary, 0 iar ‘was concerned. be staied to the Divrict attormey that he (covase}) conid not select a Judge who would be more to bimseif or in whom he would bare greater confidence than in his Honor. But bis Honor did not preside at the last term of this court, aad counce! came to the conclusion that bis clients could ret reosive an un- prejudiced or unbiassed triei. He was cbout to make an arene to the Court of Over and Terriner to remove @ indictment frem this court to that one, when Mr. Ball, Distriet Attorney, bappened to bo ‘a the room ai ime the uppiication was about %o be made, and under an fatimation which was given by the learned Judge to whom the appiication bad been brouched, that bo would destre to have the District Attorney notify and acquaint him with counsel's intestions, counsel consiaded that sherd was a. desire on the part of the Court, as then constituted, to press bim on to trial without the opportunity of pre; tion; snd in bis judgment, so far as the Court was con. cerned, it already convicted and sentenced the de- ‘endanis in advance of their trial. The Iistrict Attorney allowed the case to pass over to this terin, avd then ep- ined upon bim that he would call ‘tim the secoad week of the term, At that time the defendants were under indictment for a pimple misdemeanor, waich was not a very serious charge, and would not require much pre) ration, but since the indictment bas been changed +9 felony. He read an affidavit of Alderman Wilson, |, that two important witcesses for the dofence were absent: » at preseat. Apother reason why these parties should be entitied to time in the preparation of this trial was, as we have lately seen in the resul of the trial in Orange coun- ty, that the most genial atmosphere (or tbe investigation of truth was that which was devoid of prejudice No more marked instance of tbe truth of sucha remark * gould be exhibited than in the conclusion of «trial seat from this county to « sister county. it would be remem- Dered that when the criminal (who had been virtually discharged by the jury in Oravge county) committed the deed for whisa be was tried, that the papors teemed with the moet inlammaiory statements. was bardly a member of society who dio rot immediately insist upon the lynching of that criminal. And the fact that the case of theee ubieged election rioters having been called up, ‘and the manner in which the proceedings were reported, was evough to prejudice Jurors against them, so that it would be an exceedingly difficult matter to get aa _unpre- judiced jury. In conclusion the counsel epoke of the Judge’s integrity, honesty and firmness, and, iz the language of @nother, ‘used any quantity of sof: soap.” The District Attorney very properly remarked that he knew no reason why the trial of these rioters could not be commenced ucw, The indictments that came from the Grand’Jury were of equal importance; the law was no re- apecter of persons. But bis Honor, alter listening to the touching appeal of the counsel for the accueed, immediately granted the mo- ten. ‘The Court then adjourned for the day.
