Green of Missouri. Tiiat the same Senate, whicli had voted down a proposition to confine the road to a Central route, should also have voted down a proposition to strike out San Francisco as the Pacific termi- nus, only shows that certain Senators were afraid to do directly, what they were willing enough to do indirectly. The Senators referred to, could not be brought up to the point of declaring, upon the face of the bill, that San Francisco was not intended as the Pacific terminus, although t...hey were willing to give to the President such a discretion, in making the contract for the road, as would certainly throw it upon a line termina- ting far to the south of San Francisco. Reverting now to the proceedings in the Sen- ate on the 14th of January, the rejection of the amendments of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hale, limit- ing the road to a Central route, was followed by a proposition from Mr. Doolittle, that no contract for the road to be made by the President should be valid, until it had first been submitted to, and approved by, Congress.
