king other demonstrations Of defiance. The
Spaniards then made an effort to take posses

The Business Hon Of Washington. 1t Is o
noteworthy fact, that the late trying season
IN monetary affairs in all quarters of tho
country, and more especially at the North,
passed over the business men in Washington
and left them unscathcd, with the exception
Of two houses only. Elsewhere, not only mer.
chants, but manufacturers end employing
mechanics tumbled over by scores ere the
crisis was passed. This tells we'll for the en-.
ergy and fOre;hought of the great mass of
those among US, who in the conduct of their
bushes. necessarily ask and give credit. The
experience of tbs season in question will how
ever, doubtless have the effect of modifying
the credit system as 10 vogue here not little
Such result will not only be beneficial 10
tiose in Washington who give credit, but alec
to the tone of society a. large. There never
was better model than that of J John Randolph,
|" Pay as you go; pay as you 60, SIR" Rigid
adherence to it very rarely fails to bring
wealth, we care not how small the means of
the man who practices on that rule mag be,

Titles to Land In Kansas and Nebrask ska.


The question is frequently asked how titles can be
acquired to the Government lands in Kansas and
Nebraska Territories, and whether military bounty
land warrants be located in these Territories
We have ascertaned that except the lands reserved
for the Indians under treaty stipulatons or to be
sold for their benefit, lands reserved for military
reservations other public uses, the whole country
to which the Indian title has been extinguished is
subject to settlement even prior 10 survey and that
pre- emptons will be allowed for claims predicated
on such settlements This is an important provi-
sion in the old land States and Territories claims
not allowed settlements made prior to survey.
All that enigrant has to d. therefore, to select
his location, make his Improvements on airy of the
lands not exempted from settlement by any of the
restrictions mentioned above, and, on the completion
and return of the surveys file his proofs the local
land Office where his claim will be allowed and he
can pay for the land and secure his improvements,
providing the improvements are such as are required
by law; or he may delay payment until the lands
are advertised for sale, and make payment any time
before the day appointed for the commencement OF
the public sale. Land warrants will be received
acre for acre, in part payment for the claimants pre-
emptlon and this is the only use that can be made
of land warrants in these Territories before the lands
are in market, as the law requires that the lands
shall be first subject TO private entry before warrants
can be located thereOn-UniOn
