The estimate Of the Portland Times, places the
number Of voters at $1,000. Mr.. Smith is, we
think, below the mark in putting down the ne
gro population at three hundred emily. There
is quite double that number Of Ethiopians who
tabernacle within our borders. In an snume-
ration, the Chinese and Negroes count ofcoursc;
and so, according to Mr.. Smiths estimate, we
have $4,000. Even this, We arc convinced, is an
underestimate OF the actual population. At
all events, should this question be seized upon
as pretext for our nOn-admisson, il will be
the work of the blacks, for we are quite cent?
dent that NO true democrat in or out of Con-
gress will pettifog the question to our dstrment,
and merely for pretext andsr which to play
the meddlesome and captious monkey. What
we lack numerically, we more than atone for
In quality. We can poll more democratic votes
now than either Florida or Rhode Island can,
and We will poll less Negro worshipping votes
in proportion to the whole vote than any free
State in the Unien.

MINNESOTA LAND GRANTs.-The Commits
sioner OF the General Land Office has just given
an interesting decision touching grants of lands
to Minnesota, under the act of February 81.
1857, in answer to inquiries pounded by the
Governor of that State. The act directs sew
enty-two sections Of land to be reserved for the
use of university, to be appropriated and
applied as the Legislature may prescribe"
BY the act Of February 10, 1851, the Secretary
OF the Interior was authorized to set apart for
the support and use of n university, in the
Territory OF Minnesota, quantity of land not
exceeding two entireA townships, selections of
which, less 1893 76 acres, have been made and
duly approved. To enable the General Land
Office to act properly in the matter of the Sew.
enty-two sections, the Commissioner decides
that the Governor must first express whether
the State claims TO retain the selections m.5s
In virtue OF the two townships reserysd under
the act Of 1851, but not thereby granted ;,
If 50, then he will indicate his views n non that
basis and with the purpose to give full effect 70
the grant Of 1857. But if the State intends 70
abandon those selections, il is essential that its
Executive should 50 inform tho General Land
OGice, and state whether the said Territorial
grant has been in any respect or to any extent
encumbored. On the receipt of such intelli-
gence from the Governor Of Minnesota tho
views Of the Office touching the proper mode of
satisfying the university grant by the act Of
1897 will be communicated.
Inc ten sections appropriated by the act OF
,o'' Tor completing the public buildings are to
NC taken in legal subdivisions" according to
the words OF the act. In reference to the selec-
''on q sehooi lands, the act of March 3, 1853,
provides that where sections Is and &c are fr,c.
tional In quantity, other lands are 10 n, sssc,oa
to make up the deficiency
After setting forth the declaration If thu a.,
Of February 20, 1857, appropriating to the STAT.

such declaration shall not conflict with pr;v,,.
