SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS


The Union, again discussing the vista
ton question, lays down the following as the
position of the American and British dovern-
ments in relation to mistakes as to the nation
ality of vessels:
Mistakes in the identity of person or of a
vessel depend for their character aud for the re-
dress that NAV be due upon the circumstances,
and upon the motives Of the officer making them.
They trespasses, illegal acts in all cases, but
excusable or aggravated as marked by the exist
ing facts, and for which in public cases, the ma
ton whose power is used is responsible"
The Union also publishes an article from the
London Times, as proof that the English people
are getting down from their stills on the slave
~ question.
The Union, further, notices the recent muir
der Of defenceless lad at the Sabbath School
festival of the Broadway street Baptist Church,
as an exhibition Of the spirit that now rules
Baltimore.
The Inielilgencer republishes the URion's
denial of the canard relative to the promise
said to have been ma lie by the President to the
Mormons, through DR.. Kane.

IMPORTANT DECISION.-In the matter of ap-
pliestions by the corporate authorities of Mon
ticello, and Lower Monticello, and the claims of
Tobias Mealy to enter by pre-emption certain
lands IN Minnesota, and the application fled
by the Judge Of the county court to enter the
town site OF MaritziOus has just been decided
by the Secretary Of the Interior. The Judge
claims certain lots claimed also by the corpor-
ate authorities Of Lower Monticello. and the
register and receiver of the land office in that
district decided adversely to his claim, and he
now appeals His claim is founded on the
allegation that the lands claimed by the au
thorities of Lower Monticello was the town site
of Nutritious, "by virtue of a survey, claim.
and plat, and recorded by the proprietors prior
to the survey, claim and plat of the proprie tors
Of Lower Monticello"
Under the act Of May 23d, 1914, which pro-
Vides that an entry of public lands which
have been actually settled and occupied as a
town site, may be made by trustee for the
use and benefit of the occupants, the ONLY
benehciaries OF the trust are the occupants of
the town; and the Department, therefore, re-
fuses to recognize the rights of claimants who
are non-residents. Again, the Department de
cides that the rights of occupants remain the
same, and are secured on the same PRINCIPLES
no matter who may be the trustee These oc
cIpants cannot be supposed to have any inter
est in the legal title vesting in any one as trus
tee, except that the party shall be legaIIyquaI
fled
The law recognises but one trustee, and the
department decides that, between the different
Pnr'ieS Claiming to be such who seek to enter
.n0 S"He town site, no preferencei is to be given
y" luz his' applicant. The only question to
o 60 Is which has the proper qualifications.
Therefore, if it were admitted that the judge
was ne legally authorized trustee, the fact
remains that the entry was not made a, tb.t
time, and before it was made the town IVA. -.
corporated rs Lower Monticello, and ,h. c.
porate authorities became the legal trus,eo.
Tor the occupants of the lands and are acc.r,.a
as such by the Department
AS to the quantity of land subject to entrv
as town site, it is only what is occupied Inv
tne town Tor town purposes, and cannot exceed
'hIee hundred and twenty acres As to the
matter between the towns OF Monticello and
Lower Monticello, time is allowed to take fur. !

The Florida Rail Road.

Reports have reached Us from various sonrc"S
concerning a misunderstanding or controversy
that has occurred betwceh tiUrerrOr Perry, OF
Florida, and Col George. w Call, respecting
the Florida Rail Road Company. ~
As Gov Perry like many of his c"nS,i,u-
ents-is South Carolnan, aud as The Road,
which are affe-ted bv this controversy are
watched with anxions interest by many readers
in this city and State, we give the following ex'
planation Of the matters at Issue, It's furnished
by a correspondent OF the Tallahassee FIo'1.
dian &c Charleston Courier.
The act generally known as the internal inn
provement law, provides among other things,
that line of rail road from Fernandina 10
Tampa Bay, with branch to Cedar Keys, are
.snitable improvements to he aided BY the inter.
IN improvement fund The Florida Rail Road
Company have undertaken 10 build this line OF
road, and its branch, and have svai.ed them
selves of the benefits Of the internal improve
,,nent fund Governor Perry therefore insists
that,they shall simply carry on: in good faith
THAT undertaking and in order to ecuuonize AID
iproiect the public funds as far as practicable, he
contends that the location of the road should be
ba made upon the most direct route from Fer
nandina TO Tampa Bay, fixing the point OF di
vergruce for the branch to Cedar Key at such
place upon the main line as will best sub>erre
the interests Of the greatest number of the
people.
To this end the Governor insisted that part
of the road had been improperly located, that
instead of running upon the Westside of Paine S
Prairie 1T should have been located to run upon
'the East side of the Prairie ard fix The point of
divergence for the branch to Cedar Key, at or
near Micanopy, would shorten the road t"
Tampa l6 miles. and add to the length OF the
Cedar Key branch only miles, making clear
saving to the fu,.d of the entire cost Of II miles
of road, or about $500 ,O06) three hundred
thousand dollars. The Company, however,
declined TO change the location desired by
Gov. Perry, and in lieu thereof, proposed to
commence the work upon the Tampa road at
.oHce, aud put that part of 1t Included within
1.-THE points Of Ilatchet's Creek and alcan"py
.under immediate contract, &c. | understand,
however, that the company, through Mr. Call,
have denied making any such proposition. or
having entered into any agreement with Gov.
Perry,,o or otherwise piaced themselves under
sny obligations, to build the road to Tampa, as
alledged aud this constitutes the issue between
the parties.
