GESrIEMES,-In your paper of this date, you
publish long article, evidently written by the
counsel Of one Of the parties to a controversy
respecting certain lands at Superior.
AS We represent the other parties, it is but
just and fair that our view of the case should be
made public through the same medium that
has been opened to the publication of the argu-
ment Of our adyersaries
Especially is such course proper in this in
stance, as reflections of the most gross and I'M
merited character have been cast upon the land
officers at Hudson, and libellous abuse heaped
upon unofending citizens, who are not parties
to the contest. who have not had anything to
do with it, and who have not at any time claim
cd, or expected, any interest in the land in
question.
We herewith send to you copy of our ar
gument Of the case addressed to Hon. John
Wilson, Commissioner of the General Land Of
fee, on the 2lst inst.
Yours respectfully,
RICE, HOLLINSHEAD Il BECKER.

FINISHED The main trunk of the Illinois
Central Railroad from La Sale to Cairo-over
800 miles-is finished, and cars are undoubted-
ly traversing its entire length this day. The
Galena Advertiser, of last Thursday, says
"The Illinois Central Railroad is now COM
completed to Vandalia from the north, and on
ly about eight miles of track is to be laid to fin
ish the main trunk. The whole is to be finished
the first of next week, and it il now said that
the branch from this city to La Sale will be
opened by the first of January" But the Adj
vertiser is very careful not to say anything
about the time when the remaining portion of
that branch, extending from Galena to DIN
leith, will he completed, although the work on
it is being rapidly pushed at this time. Track
laying this side of Galena will commence as
soon as the Company can make their own con-
nection with La Sale, so that the necessary
quantity of iron can be run up from that point
to complete this end of the road Then it will
be that Galena will assume her destined posi-
tien-merely railway watering post between
st. Paul and the East and South. "Pea nuts

numbering her by the slow process of starvation,
exposure, and the most disgusting and iendish
cruelties. Another daughter, older than the
deceased, was witness against him.

THANKS FOR A Rich PREsENT-It will be rec

fact that handsome sofa had been presented

returned thanks to him in the following appro-
pirate manner:
"TEUMAN NJ. SMITH. Esq -
DEAR SIR A rich, and by them regarded

hour of worship. by the membership of the
First Baptist Church in this city on Thanks
giving morning. 1t seemed placed there for
the purpose of quickening our emotions of de-
vout gratitude to God and the then unknown
givcr.
On learning that it was a donation from
you, the Church, by their vote, instructed me
10 tender you their sincere thanks for the
chastc and beautiful sofa, with which an act of
your benefcence has supplied their pulpit.
Allow me, in connection with the discharge
of this duty. to express my own sease ST obliga-
ton and gratitude for the regard you have
manifested for my personal comfort in select
ing the article with which you have adorned
the sanctuary of our God. Let me also assure
you that the unobtrusive delicacy of manner
in which it has reached its present destination
is fully appreciated, and has made deep i'm
preston on the heart of one who sympathizes
with the donor in his recent domestic afflict.

poor pre-empt0r is limited to the Surveyed
lands.
There can not be doubt in your mind in
relation to this point, and here we leave it to
your superior experience and knowledge.
Again these professionals claim in their pro-
test 70l 20-l00 acres, as exempt from pre-empt-
ion because the same was settled and occupied
as town site prior to the settlement of the
pre-emptors, and they prove the improvements
above specified insufficiant as they clearly
are) upon lots and of section 49, and lot
2 of section "a. Theact of Congress of
May 23d. 1914. under which the claim to this
land by the professionals must be made, if made
at all Tor otherwise how could they obtain a
title y provides shat the entry shall include
only such land as is actually occupied by the
Town and be made in conformity to the legal
subdivisions public lands, &C."
Now these protestants survey out streets,
and put one cabin on one fractional lot. They
survey out streets and put fre log cabins on
another fractional lot. They survey out streets
and put one log cabin on another fractional
lot, and by virtue of these splendid improve
ments, wherein no family resides, wherein no
business is done, Except Hoods store (?) for
tanning more than 700 acres of land!
True, they have filed REIMBURSEMENT in
cluding only SAT acres (Which they had no le-
gal right to dO) but still where is the legal oc-
cupancy and settlement of that as a town
site?
And then again they have made verbal re-
linquishment limiting the number of acres
still more, and yet 1--WE ASK where is the legal
settlement and occupancy of that as a town
site. even if they had RICH. SO to relinquish
which we wholly deny. Pre-emptors upon
the public lands are always required to prore
that which they have declared, (see ms
tions.)
Why should the claimants to town site be
allowed to prove that which they have not de-
clared-mOre or less
Ii poor pioneer or voyageur files his de-
claratory statement as the claimant to the pre-
emption right to lG0 acres of the public land,
he Is obliged to establish his right to the whole
of that land. and if he fails in respect to a sim
gle 40 acres, he loses the whole.
Why should different rule apply to the &C.
cupants flown sites? Why should they not
be required to prove their settlement and &C.
cupancy upon all they claim? Are they not
pre-emptors in every sense of the word? Do
they not claim the right of first purchase of
the public lands at the minimum price Why
