MOVEMENT OF OCEAN STEAMERS
GOVERNMENT LAND GRAYTs

The Commissioner of the General Land Office has
replied to an inquiry respecting the right and ex-
tent OF the indemnity selections allowed to Alabama
by the railroad grant to that State by the act of
June sd, 1886, to aid in the construction of the
Glrard and Mobile Railroad, etc., where the sec
tlons within the six-me limits had been previously
disposed of by the United States. The principle
hereinafter declared: The Commissioner states
that the indemnity sections must be taken between
the six and hteen-me limits in the alternate sec
tlons nearest to the tier of sections 'granted in
place." No election can be made by skipping anv
vacant tract if nearest the section in place; but if
it should so happen that there are no vacant lands
for the indemnity near at hand, the selection NAV
advance on until it reaches the terminus and taken
from the portion neares and ifit should be neces-
sary to take the whole of the aternates between the
SIX and ftteenmile limits to satisfy the deficiency
on account of the sale of the sections, it NAV be
done on the terms herenbeiore indicated. Re fer
ring to the fourth section of the said of June
Sd, 1886, making the railroad grant, which pre-
scrlbes the terms upon which the State NAV sell
one hundred and twenty sections from time to time
the Commissioner states that the Land Office takes
no heed OF what they do in that respect so far as
The action of the Office is concerned in making out
lists fselectiOns and certifying the same that be-
ing condition of which the State must take cog
nizance itself, so to avoid making sales not war
ranted by law. All that the Land Office has to do
Is to certify the selections lawfully made leaving
the State itself to fulfill all the conditions the grant
has imposed upon it, saving the yendees from be-
ing recipients of invalid titles.

cent improvements made the Island, have been
effected under the superintendent of Commodore
Farragut and it is than due him to say that
they are of character unsurpassed, if equaled, by
any Naval depot in the Union. The employees of the
yard formed in line upon the wharf preparatory to
his departure, and when the gallant commodore
made his appearance, he was received in a manner
so enthusiastic to leave no doubt of the affec-
tionate regard of those who congregated to pay
parting tribute to the ''settng sum- Last even
ing at the Oriental Hotel, lie presented with
beautiful watch, the gift of the citizens of Vallejo
as testimonial of their appreciation of the officer

tinued in active service, and his broad penant will
wave over one of the magnificent government
steam frigates which justly the pride of our
