JJXTUACTS FllOM TUB COMMITTEC's RE
, 1'OKT.
WASHINGTON , August 3. The report
port adopted by thu house committe
on judiciary to-day to accompany th
resolution declaring forfeited the land
granted to the Texas & Pacific rail
road company , aftnf giving the history
of the Texas Pacific and reviewing it
relations with the ! Southern Pa-siG
company , goes on to say : The Tuxa
& Pacific , one party to the grant o
contract , have made no effort to carry
it out , having ronqunctil itbothinfor
niaily and formally , by acts and b ;
writing , there can bo no question o
the nght of the United States , tin
other party , to re&umo possession o
Iho proposed urant , unless the Southern
orn Pacific have acquired some right
by virturo of noma deed or release on
1 > ah lf of the Texas & Pacific" It i
urged the words used in the Oth sec
fion , "There is thereby granted saic
Texas ( .Pacific railroad company , i n
successors and assigns , every alternate
section , " etc. , authorized the lattci
company to transfer the lands in ques
tion , in bulk , to any other persoi
who would receive it chargiu
with the same trust , that the Southern
orn Pacific having lewived the laudi
at the time when ( they had complete *
the railroad , whiijh was the same or
nearly the sinio aa that described it
the act of March , 1871 , received the
lands discharged from trust by reason
of itsMCJlJnient Jutho. pnpimon -
We think these words describe
TUB NATUBE OF THE ESTATE
or words of limitation , and do not
constitute the grantee an agent ol
the United States to select another
corporation , which has porforinoc
similar work , and make it the beno
ficitny of the grant ; nor do they con'
stituco the grantee an agent to bestow
a gratuity. It I'M further claimed' by
the Southern Pacific that sections
notably section 4 , authorizing
consolidation , gives the authority
needed for the transfer. No facto
have been laid before us which show
any consolidation whereby the Texas
& Pacific IIHS absorbed the Southerr
Pacific. The prcCiES would ooom to
Imvo been reversed Consolidations
contemplated by oectiona 4 , 5 and
were these whereby other companies
wore to become- part and parcel of the
Texas & Pacific. If the Southern Pa
cific had become a part and parcel ol
, ho Texas & Pacific it would not be a
claimant here. It in further urg
ed on behalf of the Southern Pacific ,
that insomuch the company have done
what the United States oflorod to give
and granted the lands to the Texas &
Pacific if it would do it , equity requires
quires the land grant should bo trans-
erred to this. As to the request for
; ratuity , no objection can bo made
hat would rent on the sound judg-
nent of congress. But this request
a put upon the ground of a claim ,
xiundcd upon equity and good con
science. The ruply seem * simple
"cn rosH would nuvor have been jus
ifiod in oll'urin ; ; lands had it not
leomed the offer necessary to secure
he rond. Now that events have dum-
mstratod its non necessity the reason
or offering it has entirely failed , ;
ind the Southern Pacific was not
nducod by it to build. It

tot at the riqutst of the United
States ncr even tor the bandit of the :
United States. It happened for its
own purposes to build a road the
Jnitod States wanted and prevented s
lie company building it which the
Jnited States had authorized. It is
iillicult to BOO how this state of facts
ays thu United States under any ob-
igation , either in equity or good con-
cienco. These consolidations may bo
ccoptod from the fact that action on
lie part of the United States is nee-
ssary to enable the United States to
estoro this land to the public domain ,
Vhatover legal rights the parties have
an bo ascertained bettor after an act
f forfeiture than before , and none of
liom bo lost , The committee recom-
nonds the passage of the accompany-
ig resolution :
KesolvcJ , Uy the senate and house
f representatives , in congress as *
ombled , as tollows : That all lands
; ranted to the Texas & Pacific rail-
oad company under tlio act of con-
ress entitled "An act to incorporate

nd to aid in thu construction of ita
oad , and for other purposes , " ap-
irovod March 3 , 1871 , and acts
mendatory thereof or supplemental
lereto , bo , and the same are hereby ,
eclared forfeited and that the whole
of said lands bo restored to the pub
lie domain and made subject to sal
and settlement under existing laws o
the United States.

In the star route trial Roprcsonta
tivo Page testified that ho had askoi
for increased trips on certain routes
Ho had never boon over the routes
and hia only knowledge of them was
confined to representations of his
colleague , Berry , who requested him
him to secure the increase.
The proceeding dragged ro slowly
that the court remarked that it
seemed to him they had been creep
ing to-day.
After recess Hugh T. Eggort asked
that the district attorney bo called to
the stand to identify a letter as bcini *
in Col6nel To tton'o hand writing. Ob

the prasucutioh , and Wilson explained
that ho propoaWto show that whim
Walsh placet ! liis claim against Brady
in Colpnol Topten's hands for collec >

from the statement ho had sworn to
in cOatt. . , : 'Totteii explained that the
letter ' .in question had long ago
pausedouE pi his hands ; it had boon
li droascd to General Brady and was
as iiiucli his' property as a letter from
Walsh would have been. Prosecution
objected "to the letter because the mat
ter had , rnot been touched upon
in Walsh's direct examination , and
long discussion ensued. In the dis
cussion Turner , addressing the de
fense , asked "Why , they did not put
Rcordell on the stand tp robutt Mo
Veagh's testimony , "
an exception to the language o f the
government counsel. . . '
Morrick "Well , note your Vixcap
tion , but why do you not put Roor-
doll on the stand ] "
McSwecnoy "Wo note another er
coption. "
The court said ho had not yet pass
ed upon4ho first exception. An excep
tion could only bo taken to a ruling of
the court.
An angry discussion followed between -
tweon counsel , which was only
brought to an end by the court in
sisting upon the maintenance of order
and directing the counsel to drop the
subject.
Argument then proceeded on the
admissiballity of Me Veagh's testimony
and it was finally rejected.
Representative Berry , of California
identified his endowment upon i
petition and a letter written by him
iolf , both referring to Redwing
routo. Ilo said ho had called very
often at the department with the

route restored to six trips per week
ind was very earnest in his efforts.
Vftor an unsuoowful effort to Intro
