CT Mr. Lincoln used the language imputed to hin,
by the "Globe" or not; bat as he has permitted
its publication to remain ten days without contra.
diction, we presume that he now adopts the Ian
guage ascribed to him, if lie did not originally
utter it. For the purpose therefore, OF placing
the natter truly before the country, and to cor
rect the gross Misrepresentation Of facts contain.
ed in the ADORE extract, that they have carefully
examined tn vouchers which have been duly au
dited and settled by the Treasury Department,
for the purchase of furniture for the Presidents
House since the 4th Of March, 1887, and that
they have compared the said vouchers with the
8tatemts of the same in the published speech Of
Mr.. Oge, and find the said vouch truly set forth
in The sad speech.
And they further certify that il appears from the
said vouchers that more than eighteen thousand
dollars were expended in furniture for the Presi-
dents House between the 4th of March, 1897,
and the 9Th day of December, 1887, the day on
which the committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds ,cas appointed, and of which Mr.. Lin
coin was chairman, the former Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds having ceased TO
erist on the Sd OF March, 1887.
The undersigned further certify that it appears
from the said vouchers that the said money avaS
expended by the agents of the President viz. his
son. Abraham Van Buren,, L. l.. Smith and 9TH

pursue the thief, and after being absent for an
hour, returned with his property.
"What has become of the ostler - inquired
the landlord.

Indians, named Terrill. and the two white men
named Slrcnn and Newman, had beaten

INTENSITY OF CREATION.

Some astronomers have computed that there
are not less than rs millions of suns in the
universe. The fixed stars are all suns, hav-
ing, like our sun, numerous planets revolving
around them The solar system, or that to
which we belong, has about thirty planets,
primary and secondary, belonging TO it. The
circular field of space which it occupies is in
diameter 5000 millions ofmiles and that which
ii controls much greater. The sun which is
nearest neighbor 10 ours is called Sirius, distant
rom our sun ABOUT o32 millions OF miles now,
II all the fixed stars are as distant from each
other Sirius is from our sun OF if our solar
system be the average magnitude of all the IS
millions of suns, what Imagination can grasp
the immensely of creation Who can survey
a plantation containing rs millions of circular
fields, each ten millions of miles in diameter
Such however, is one Of the plantations OF him
who has measured the waters in the hollow OF
his hand-moted out heaven with a spa,-
comprehended the dust, in a measure-and
weighed the mountains III scales, and hills in
balance. He who sitting upon the orbit OF
the earth stretches out the heavens as a curtain,
and spreadcth them out as tent to dwell in.
Nations to Him are "as a drop of a bucket,
and are counted as the small dus, of the bal
ance y and yet, overwhelming thought, He
says, Though dwell in the high and holy
place, with him also will dwell who is Of a
humble and contrite spirit, and trembles at my

Tie Public Lands.--nov. Seward, of n. Y.
thus alludes to this highly interesting subject.
The rapidty with which the system of In
ternal Improvements shall be prosecuted, and
consequently the period at which its full ad
vantages shall be realized depend not alto
gether upon the Legislature. The Federal
Government holds in trust from the States al
most thousand millions of acres of land the
value of which, at the lowest government
price, is one dollar and twenty five cents per
acre. This immense domain, the property of
tie states, was coded by them TO the General
Government, as their trustee, for common in
terest and benefit. In 1890, Congress very
properly pledged the avais of the public lands
for the payment of the national debt That
debt has been discharged. The revenue
which the Federal Government derives from
imposts should be sufficient for all lis expen
ses, and that Government has no legitimate
right to use the proceeds of the public lands.
Ii neither constructs works of internal improve
ment nor establishes systems OF education
The State Governments are charged with
these responsibilities, and with the regulation
of their own municipal affairs. The sum which
has been received into the Federal treasury
from the sales of lands exceeds fifty millions
of dollars A bill passed both Houses of Con-
rress making a distribution of these proceeds,
but was lost for want of the Executive appro-
val The proportion Of these avails which
equtably belongs TO this State would relieve
her from the necessity of delaying or postpo-
ming the prosecution of any one of the public
works already undertaken, and would enable
| her 10 assume others in which her citizens
! have engaged Her in'cro7t in the immense
| domain remaining unsold is a resource which
would enable her TO extend her improvements
until no dwelling within her borders shall be
/ disian; more than fifteen miles from means o.
rapid communication.
