THE, TREsPAssERs ON THE DELAWARE
LANDS IN KANsAs.-A number Of men
having squatted on the Delaware Indian
lands in Kansas, the Secretary Of the In
terror has, on complaint of the Indian
Agents, issued orders for their removal.
The Instructions of the Secretary make it
the duty of the Indian agents to give pub
lie notice to the intruders to retire from
the reservation. Should not this be heed
ed within reasonable time, then special
notices must be served upon each one Of
them. If this course proves Intellectual,
the military must be called upon to give
their aid, and these parties driven of bv
force. Similar instructions were issued
when what is now the town Of Leaven-
worth was first squatted on, but they were
never carried out.

RAILROAD FAILUREs.-Among tie fail
ures of the day is that of the Illinois Cen
trail. This road is an example---perhaps
tie strongest one which can be given--of
the extent 10 which .fc ion can be carried
in great commercial enterprise. The
government granted 2,3U0.OO0 acres of
land 10 the road. AT the time of tie grant
85 AN acre would have been high price.
But circumstances favored the company.
They managed to borrow seventeen mil
lions OF, dollars on that grant. AT length
the road was made--72U miles in length,
altogether. But the road is not able to
pay expenses, and floating debt was col I.

or four millions more we're borrowed
They have now a debt of about $50, 900, =
ooo, on which 81 100000 has to be paid
annually. This interest accumulates ra-
pidly, and although the lands have at first
sold for Sl3 an acre, yet the Company gets
more in debt, till it is now evident the
stock is intrinsically worth nothing
The BALTIMORE RIoTs.-It seems to
be settled that the rioting which again dis
graced the city of Monuments last week,
ON the occasion of electing members of the
City Council, originated in strongly
Democratic ward, and was commenced by
foreigners. In that ward, the only one
which the Americans did not carry, out of
the entire twenty, the Democrats had a
large majority. There is undoubtedly
blame enough GA both sides, on all these
interesting occasions. Cannot Baltimore
rid herself Of this mob violence, SO injuri-
0as to her fame?
PENNSYLVANIA ELEcTroN.--In Pennsyl.

majority, it is supposed, of nearly $4,000
