The FORCE OF observation-disclosures
bids fair to have no Senators whatever In
Congress during the next year 1t will
be remembered that there is already one
vacancyin in the Senate from Indiana in con-
sequence of the expiration of Mr. Petit's
term Two years ago the Democrats of In
diana had one House of the Legislature,
and the opposition the other; but upon
joint ballot the latter would have had a
clear majority, and could have elected
their Senator. Under these circumstances
the Democrats refused to go into joint
ballot AZ all, and so the vacancy has re-
mained untitled and as Mr. Bright's term
expires on the 4th Of March, there are two
Senators to be elected Now the Demo-
Gratis have clear majority On joint
ballot but, the Republicans, who control
the Senate, will probably play them back
their own game, and refuse to go into an
election.-TN o. Bulletin

The report Of the GeneraII4snd Office is
Of more than usual length, covering pc
riod of FIVE quarters, ending Seth Septem-
ber, 1886, and giving various subjects Of
It's Jurisdiction, and all the operations of
the land ten, Of the United States lands
sold and disposed of, during the pe-iod
covered By the report. There was solI for
c;sh 10,V62, l07 - acres Of the public
l,iids; and located with military bounty

and reported under swamp grants J.J56.-

estimated,) I3,755, $50 acres, making a
grand aggregate (including other internal
Improvement selections) of 4I,II6.306 IS
acres Of the public domain disposed Of du-
ring the FIVE quarters ending Both Sen
teinber, 1886. This is a large Increase
over the quantity disposed Of during the
FIVE quarters preceding. While the sales

sal of Congressional grants and locations of

bly, increased The tables ACCOMPANYING
the report showing the sales, locations,
sEanp selections, etc, are very full
Lands to no considerable extent have
been proclaimed and offered at public sale
during the year 1856; the present policy
of the Office being to secure them to the
actual settlers under the pre-emptioa laws,
rather than TO favor speculation therein,
b. precipitating public sales of large guam
titles beyond the means of settlers to pur-
chase. With the view of making this the
permanent policy Of the office, the report
recommends a slight modification OF the
prescription laws. Other amendments, for
The equitable adjustment Of conflicting
settlements upon unsuryeyed lands, are re-
commended
Thesuryeys during the year ending 30th
September, 1856, of which plats have
been returned and approved, amount to
16,SI3, ,699 acres, of which 9,99I, ,SS4

The WAY THE KANSAS FUND Is UsED.
The New York Evening Post, leading
Black Republican organ, publishes a let
ter, wherein it is declared that the idea
of making Kansas slave State is next to
an impossibility; and further. that the
leading Republicans who had been sent
out to make Kansas free, had turned land
spectators, and the writer more than init
mates that these peculiar friends of free
dom, and these disbursers of the Kansas
funds collected all over the country, we're
using said funds to speculate with, leaving
the naked and hungry to clothe and feed
themselves. The cry of Bleeding Kan
sas /" has caused the pockets of thousands
of credulous Black Republicans In the
Northern States to bleed freely, and it
must be very gratifying to them to learn
that the money has gone to FIJI the peck
cts of designing knaves, of whom they
were the dupes.
