I move to add at the end of the bill the following proviso: Provided That nothing in this noteontainedshall interferewith any rights conferred on the Central Pacific Railroad Companyof California by the sec to(i;i‘t:'section of the not of which this not is explana I desire to say in relation to this amendment that it is feared by some of those who are interested in the construction of the California road that the terms of the bill would interfere with the right of that company to receive bonds on the portion of the line which they might construct east of the line of California. In order to avoid any possible construction which would lead to that result, I offer this amendment by way of protectin the interests of the California company.
