'ppropriates two out of the 900 900 bonds which

These appropriations amount to ST. ,O5S, $40

This is to go into fund for the payment of claims
embraced under the second class of debts, beinp
the class for which the impost duties were not
pledged. Specific appropriations out of the FIVE
millions of reserved bonds which the United States
keeps yet in its custody, are made for the follow
ing debts, numbered as in the same classification,
thus: l. SI42.76 for the ten per cent. consolidated

The Iowa LAND BILL.-"X.," the Washington
corrcspon dent of the Baltimore Sun, observes:
"Therc 10 why the Iowa Land bill
shoud not pass now as well as any other time.
Let Congress do it's best. it cannot prevent the dis
tributon Of tho public lands among the States, or
their donation to actual settlers And here ID a
great, not only State but national, enterprise to
construct a railroad west, which will in the end be
the starting point for Oregon and California. and
the bill is thwnrted by all manner of mere techni-
calites and msconceived saving. 1t is an act of
prudence to give the public lands away, to promote
public and State improvements, before they shall
be given away such huge plan of universal phi
lanthropy to God knows whom. If there is bill
before the Senate that ought to pass at once, it is
the Iowa Land bill.
"And may not, in connection with this subject,
aude to the fact that the State OF Iowa has never
been troubled by any Of the i,uis that have made
srch sad havoc in other States. She has been
truer to the Union and the Constitution than any
State North, and the extreme practical sense OF
her delegation in Congress, her Senator'S, aye, and
her Legislature. are the best guarantee that she
will diligently and honestly apply whatever she
may receive from the United States to the pur-
poses set forth in the BILL and for the benefit of the
whole Union"
