For this sum the companies me to issue

that the sinking fund shall bo applied on the

this is liifoientlal. It allows the companies

The Pacific rallioads have won again and

\vus I ! ' . ! for continuation and 'JS against. So
anxious weio the friends of Lamar to hasten
his presence on the supiemo bench that
b ) a special vote the injunction of scerecv
was lemoved and ho could assume
his duties to moi row if the president c.ued to
be so hasty in making out his commission.
The deb.ito lasted thtco bouts and was nt
times extremely exciting. The principal
spoakcis against continuation weioHvails ,
Kdmunds , Allison , Haw ley and bhcrman.
Senators lefei totho argument of Mr. Ev.uts
as being eloquent and exhaustive. Ho paid
the highest tiibuto to the men who occupy
positions on the bench of the supiomo couit ,
the ability that should bo called to positions *
there and pointed out the fiailties of the
nominee under consideration. The speeches
oftheotheis refeited mostly to Lamai's uii
Illness on account of his constiuction of
ceitain portions of the constitution i elating
to states' lights , etc. , and bis weakness in re-
gaid to all rnatteis giow ing out of the "lato
unpleasantness. " Mr. Uicldlobeigor was the
mouthpiece of the democrats and spoke thieo
or four times A\eii few wouls were uttered
by other li lends of Lamar , but Hiddlebeigor
was expected to sa.v all thai was necesGaty
for him. It is repotted to night that there
were tlueoor four other lepubliian senalors
who weio ic.idj to vote for i onllr matron had

of those named us hav ing been ready to
secure the confirmation has been or is now
either closely connected with the manage
ment of the Pacific railtoads or is acting in
the iiipiicity of attorney for those corpora
tions Pacific railroad influence is found in
evcii visage and flssutc. It is not known
whethci Stanford , Stew ait and othcts who
weie led lo vote fet continuation were show
ing their gratitude , but no ono is found who
tan explain why men who have connection
with Iho Pacific railroads or who have luul
wore alone ready to leave their party and
\oto with the opposition Of the seventy-six
votes in the senate sixty were annoumed ,
which act omits for eveij man in the senate.
As 1 anticipated weeks ago , no sutpnse is
cxpicssed ovci the continuation. It was just
what might have been expected. No womloi
the friends of Lamar were so confident. Tlio
influence used would win if directed in any
coin so.
