Secretary of the Interiors Report.

The Secretary of the Interiors Report
states The quantity of land surveyed since
last report and up to the Sd of September
last at l6,953,699 acres, exclusive of
school sections. The execution of the
graduation act has raised many grave qucs-
lions which call for the interposllion of
Congress. lie says it is important that
the matter be promptly disposed of either
by sanctioning and affirming the action OF
the Land office, or directing the patents TO
be issued without further requirements.
The quantity of lands sold for cash du-
sing the fiscal year was over 9,250,000
acres, aud the receipts therefor 8,S2l Ala.
The tota! amount of land disposed of is
over 100000 acres. He suggests a
necessity for further power being granted
TO the Commissioner of Pensions TO sus-
pend and diminish and discontinue pen
sions where the reason for granting them
has wholly or partially ceased. The num-
Der of patents issued within the year will
probably reach $500. The report says
that during The present administration SO
Indian treaties have been negotiated, 90 Of
which remain TO be acted apon by the Sen
a1e.
BY the treaties Indian titles have been
extlnguished to nearly I75,009 acres of
land. The aggregate money consideration
therefor is Sll, 1874. The Indians within
our borders are supposed to number about
100000. The process Of civilization
among the Indians has already been aten-
ded with the happiest result and gives
promise of steady progress in the ameiora-
zion of their physical and moral condition.

nla-I is said that Mr.. Buchanan has ten
dered an Office to Gov. Wise of Virginia. We
can hardly believe this to be true, as no step
that the President elect could take would go
farther towards alternating the conservative
men of the north from him, than by taking
to his counsels one of the worst of southern
disunion intriguers, one too whose sanity Is
doubted by many. ...

~"No paper discontinued until all ar
rearages are paid" " say many of our exchan-
ges. Query? Is it not better to lose what is
due than run the risk of losing more? Our
own experience has taught us that most men
who order a paper to be stopped when in
arrears, care bit little whether they ever pay
them.

QUEER SPECIMEN OF IRISH MOD.
FSTY

The Citizen, published in this city, is a
paper devoted TO the interests of the Irish
in America, and is owned aud edited by
an lrishman. In his last issue he offers
advice TO Mr.. Buchanan in dealing out the
loaves and fishes of his incoming admin
istration. He complaininglv asserts that
not a single Ir shman holds cabinet ap-
pointment, and among all our foreign min
listers aud consuls, there are but five who
are natives Of the Emerald Isle, and of
these, three Of them, SAYS the Citizen, are
cOnsulships in Ireland (which no decent
American would accept" This is too
bad. 70 send an Irishman back to Ire
land is the very refinement of cruelty-or
at least the Citizen appears 10 regard it in
that light. But, worse even than this, it
says that there are but seVenty-hve Irish
men in the New York Custom House,
while there cannot be less than eighty ma
tives of New England feeding at that we'll
stocked crib. The Citizen suggests very
proper remedy for the crying evils it com
plains of. 1t says, that "a clean sweep
ought to be made of every New Eng
lander, and Irishmen. of course. should be
put i'll their places. In concluding long
article in his paper this modest editor says:
1.-The Irish have in the late election decided
not only the fate of the Democratic party,
but the fate Of the Union. While natives
worked hard for the destruction of the
Union, Irishmen worked as hard, aud more
successfully, to save it," Only think of
