When the silver bill came up for discussion in the house to-day, J31aud, of Mo., con curred with the gentleman in hoping that the next house of representatives would be a free coinage house, but that the house would be composed of those who advocated free coinage and stood by their colors. It wonld not be composed of the ltepublican party which by a gag rule has voted down and stifled freo coinage. It free coin age come at all it would come from that party which stood firm to tho flag or free coinage, and which has not surrendered its principles at the beck of "Wall street Ho denied that the bill was the result of a free and fair conference. It was the result of secret meetings of theHepublicanconferrees. He, as a couferree, had known nothing of the measure until it had been framed and the report ready to be feigned. The Democratic members had been iguored in the preparation or the bill. Tho bill was one which practically demonetized silver. It was a sugar-coated quinine pilL On the lirst reading it seemed that the secretary was to purchase -1,500,001) ounces per month; but when a mau rolled the pill around in his mouth he began to taste tho bitterness of the 'or so much thereof as may be offered." Here could bo traced in this meas ure the stealthy "Italian hand." The bill surrendered every principle; it made combination with the bullion speculators of "Wall street in tho in terest of Wall street; it departed from the legal ratio aud changed that ratio from sixteen to one to twenty to one. To change the ratio of gold to silver as established by usage, "was to pile up much capital in the treasury at the expense of the people aud in the in terest of Wall street aud bullion own ers and he denounced it as a fraud and a cheat on the people, who were demanding a ratio of sixteen to one. The bill made silver simply a coin odity, to be measured by gold, upon which money shall be issued at its value. It "was true that the measure might make an increase in the gen eral circulation, but it would make it by concession to the goid standard and a desertion of silver. It was :i declaration that congress would not mako any further fight for bi-metal-isra. It was neither a silver bill nor a greenback bill, but simply a political device concocted to tide over tin emergency. We denounced it as a fraud and would denounco any measure as a fraud that did not provide free coinage. When the bill that has his name was passed (the I3Iand bill) had fallen into a trap, every silver representative then felt perfectly confident that the next pres ident would sign a free coiuagc bill. Ho would refer to the history of these members now willing to accept this report as leading to free coiuage. Now was tho time to mako a fight. If the conference report was rejected another conference would be held and the objectionable features of the re port striken out, and that is what he had undertaken to do. Morrow, of California expressed his approval of the conference report and proceeded to argue tha iiat the denres-1 faion in the price of silve liver iu recent ' vears resulted from artificial man i mi- lation.

Representative Hermann h:is intro duced u bill in congress for repayment to E. C. Masten, of Portland, of the sum of S100, being tho purchase money on one quarter sectiou of laud entered at the Oregon City l.wd oflice. The case is doubtless of interest to numerous entryniou ou tho Pacific coast and especially thoso euleriug what are alleged to be timber lands. The department declines repayment and in its decision to Mr. Hermann states that tho United States special agent reports tho land to be fit for cultivation, although covered with timber. That the preliminary affidavit required of entry men under tho act of Juno o, 1878, is the same both under the timber-culture and timberland law, lo the extent that the condition of the land must be set forth in each case, and implies a per sonal knowledge thereof, on tho part of the entrymen. It was tho duty of purchaser lo have made a personal examination of the laud before entry, and by his failure so to do the govern ment was not in fault iu allowing tho entry. The department then proceeds to eito authorities as a precedent, and says: In the case of Falk Stein hnrdt (7 Ij. D., 10) Secretary Vilas says: "It is evident from these facts that said affidavit was made by Steinhardt, without examination of the land, or knowledge of its condi tion, upon which to date the same, aud this view is supported by the further fact found by your said office decision, that said laud, when cleared of its limber would bo well suited to agricultural pur poses." This state of fact, I think fully warrants the conclusion that said entry was obtained through fraud. In the case of Charles P. Coffin (G D. D., 389) it was held that (.quoting from syllabus) on cancelation of an entry made for land not subject thereto, by reason of a natural growth of limber, repayment will not be allowed where the entryman, without examination of tue land, or Knowledge or its condition, mado oath that tho land was devoid of timber.

I rornla Railroad. special to The Astokian 1 San Francisco, July 12.-It is re ported here to-day that a corps of Southern Pacific engineers havo been ordered at once to a point on the Cal ifornia and Oregon line near Rose burg, for the purpose of prospecting to tho eastward in the Cascade range, with a view of finding'an easier though longer route for the main road to Ore gon. It is said that Hnntington on his trip to Oregon last May, became impressed with the importance of this and railroad matters in that section. It is further re ported that the engineers will proceed toward mount Thielsen in Douglass county and thence souther ly into Klamath and Lake counties, and down into Modoc county, thence along the courses of the Fall and Pitt rivera to some point on the main line near Redding, which has about the same elevation as Roscburg, from which it is 311 miles distant. It is not clear whether tins surveying move is purely for tho Southern Pa cific or for the Oregon and Narrow Gnago which Huntington bought from the Scotch owners while he was out here recently. Its present terminus is Coburg near Eugene City only about 75 miles above Rosebnrg and its extension by this possible route indicates that he will mako it a valuable piece ot railroad property.
