TEXAS PACIFIC LA.N1JS , Spiel il Dispitch to Tim IIK 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 IIUII.T I'JIOM OTHKIl JtOTIVKH , 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 tie Texas & Pacific railway company , 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.

Prosecution objected "to the letter because the mat ter had , rnot been touched upon in Walsh's direct examination , and long discussion ensued.

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.
