Land Wa,yasts.

To quote Land Warrants would be, we
fear, leading the public astray. for until
Congress is through with its donations
to railroads, no safe price can be made ;
in the meantime, in buying. we shall be
governed by the demand and supply.
We have asccrtaincd that lands are TO
be granted to all the following States for
railroad purposes;
Iowa. t 900, 900 acres.
Wisconsin, 10000 acres.
Michigan, 1000, 900 acres.
Minnesota. 2.500, 900 acres
Arkansas, $4,000, 900 acres
Florida, l,50O.0 900 acres.
Alabama. 10000 acres.
Louisiana, 1,4OO. 900 acres.
Missouri, SOC. 600 acres.
The acts for the first named five States
have been signed by the President-Lou-
islana has passed both houses of Con-
gress, and Minnesota, Arkansas and Mis-
souri,, are sure to pass. The total
amount of the lands given to railroads
will not vary much from twenty-five mil
lions of acros.
The roads take every other section for
six miles each side of the line of the
road, and where land has been -empt-
ed or entered within the SIX miles, then
the road can select alternate sections
anywhere within fifteen miles of the line
of the road, until it gets a quantity in
the aggregate equal to what it would
have been had no entry or prescriptions
been made on the six miles The land
reserved to the government within six
miles doubled in pr &C. These grants
necessarily shut up all the principal land
offices in the above States for year or
two: this has caused the great decline in
warrants. When the offices open, the
Governments alternate sections are to be
offered at auction, under limit of s. so
per acre, cash after which, what is not
sold can be entered with one half war

very Noiuhlhoas, anu Is signed by Mesrs
Howard and Sherman.
The Committee close their report a.
follows -
Your Committee report the following
facts and conclusions as established BY
the testimony
First-That the election in the terri
tory held under the organic or alleged
territorial law was carried by organized
invasion from the State of Missouri, BY
which the people of the territory have
been prevented from exercising the right
secured to them by organic law.
Second-Though the territorial Leg.
islature was an Illegal constituted body
and had no power to pass valid laws
and their enactment was therefore null
and void
Third-That these alleged laws have
not as a general thing, been used to pro-
tcct persons and property, and te punish
wrong, but for unlawful purposes.
Fourth--That the election uuder
which the sitting delegate, John w.
Whitfield. holds his seat. was not held
in pursuance Of any valid law, and that
it should be regarded only as the ex-
preston Of the choice of those resident
citizens who voted for him.
F'ilth-That the election under which
the contesting delegate, Andrew II.
Reeder, claims his seat, was not held in
pursuance of law, and that it should be
regarded only as the expression of the
choice of the resident citizens who voted
for HIM.
Sxith-That Andrew II. Reeder had
a greater number Of votes of resident cit
liens than John W. Whitfield, fox dele
gate.
Scventh-That in the present condi-
ton of the Territory fair election cam
not be held without a new census. a
stringent and we'll guarded election law.
the selection Of impartial judges, and
the presence Of the United States troops
at every place of election,
Eighth-That in the present condi-
ton Of the Territory fair election can
not ee he Id without new census that
the various elections held by the people
of the Territory preliminary to torma-
ton of the State Government have been
as regular as the disturbed condition OF
the territorg would allow, and tina. the
Constitution passed by the Convention,
held in pursuance of said elect ons. en-
bodied the will Of the majority of the
people.
As it is not in the province of your
Committee to suggest remedies for the
existing troubles in the territory of Kan

foregoing statement of facts.
