This strenuous effort on the paat Of the Lee
gislaiure and Of the resident citizen 10 force
The nonresident lands into market at low
valuation, has been attended with complete
success. From data in our possession Il is
believed ,ha. The 100000 acres could be pur-
chased to-day at price net exceeding one dol
lar and seventy-hve cents per acre.
The whole cost ofthese lands may be set
down as follows:
100 600 acres at 81 25 per acre. $4,000 90
Cos, of entering, 10000 90
Interest on COS, for years at 10
| per cent. per annum, 10000 90
Six years taxation, 3o,oO0 W
Interest on same for 3 years, as
/ above, $500 90
Amount paid for 80 per cent. inter-
est, Clerks fees, &c., IN the re.
denton Of lands sold for the tax
es due thereon-excusive Of The
tax due before sale. 1000 90
Cost of Agencies, Suits in law,
Surveying and other Con.iugen-
cies, 10000 90
Total cost up TO date. 29l, 900 90
Making the whole cost per acre, So 81
This Estimate shows how FAR the result
has fallen short Of the expectation; ard while
it will probably prevent any similar investment
in future, it will also read the speculator in
western lands very instructive lesson upon
the safety Of an operation which directly op'
poses the interests of the autual settlers.

MARSHAL'S SCRIPT. ABOUT TO BE

! TO obtain the cery same specie, which had been
advanced to the Marshal months before. TO pay
over 10 jurors; and not to make the basis Of
paper promises 10 pay. Such conduct in the
Marshal, is nefarious. Here is man-for-
soolh, public officer-who receives money
from the treasury, topay to jurors. Instead
of paying it, he sits down and gives each ju.

with some agent, who buys up these due bills
for eighty cents on the dollar, and Mr.. Hugh.

operation. Oh; most honest Marshal ! and oh.
thrice pure and immaculate administration,
that has hitherto licensed this-shall we say
financieringl-no! such bare faced plunderng
and outrageous robbery! Where is the s 1000
spoken Of in the following letter, that has been
paid over to Mr.. Hugumin! Is il deposited

Trial of speed between the Caters Legarc
and Spsnssr-Hlnts 60 Omcers Of the Navy.
BRooKLYN, Sept 2l, 1874
II is understood that the United States revenue
steamers "Spencer" and "Lsgaye"-the former on
Lieutenant Hunters, and the latter on Captain
Erncsson's plan, will sail ON Tuesday, to make a
trial OF speed from this city TO Boston and return
ing.
The trial will be made under sail and steam
combined, and each power separately. Great in
terest is felt bv the commercial community in the
result, as this is the first opportunity which has
been afforded to test the relative merits of the two
plans.
Both vessels are Of the same tonnage, spread an
equal surface Of canvass, have the same power,
and differ only in the model OF the hull, and mode
OF propulsion, both OF which have been left en-
trey under the control of the projectors OF the
plans.
The !" Spencer" will be commanded by Captain
Frazer, and the " Legare" by Captain Howard ];
and In order to prevent toresaing public opinion,
II has been determined 10 allow no person to be
on board during this trial trip, except those in the
employ Of the government
Alter the trial "Trip is made, and official report
shall have been rendered by the proper officers, an
opportunity will be afforded to the commercial
community, and all who feel an interest in such
