We have received from OtOe County, Nebraska,
the proceedings of meeting of settlers to remon-
s!rate against the proposed sale of the Public Lands
of that region in September next, and to urge
postponement thereof We do not deem the publ
cation OF these proceedings necessary, since any
intelligent reader can readily apprehend their pur-
port. The settlers are generally young and poor
men, who have gone into the wild West to hew out
homes from the forest and the prairie, and who find
themselves beset on every side with urgent wants
of dwellings and barns, food and furniture, work
irg and mich cattle, roads and bridges, mills and
school-houses, &C., &c. While they are just fairly
beginning to satisfy these various and pressing
wants, they are startled by information that the
lands on which they have squatted are soon to be
sold at auction, and that they must be ready to buy
them or see them bought over their heads by
SPECTATORS. Money they have not--probably not
an average of two dollars to each cabin--nor would
their scanty property bring money, If they could
spare it. since their neghbors are nearly all as poor
A. Themselves. But suppose the pioneer who has
acow and yoke Of oxen could sell them and obtain
thereby the p,ice of his quarter section, how is he
to do without those animals He can do nothing
goes, must live mainly on hot bread and fat pork
sort of diet not particularly adapted to lniante
requirements. Half the squatters could not ra'se
the money to pay for their several quarter-sections
by the sale Of all they possess.
We do not believe in blaming the President OF
Secretary of the Interior for ordering Land sales.
The Treasury is almost empty, and money must be

make tie lands Free, why not pass Mr.. Grows

before opening the lands to spectators This bill
would not ALLEVIATE one acre Of the Public Lands
without payment therefor to the Treasury ou'

From a Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Friday, May %, 1858.
The last ten days of the session having been EN-
of the rules for special objects will always be in
order when Sustained by the necessary two-thirds'
vote.
Senator Mason's report from the Committee on
Foreign Relations differs from Judge Douglas pro-
position in that it proposes no additional leglsat'n
now, and mainly contents itself with expressing
generalities not questioned.
The Administration is much exercised about
THE TRIBUNE for publishing the defeat of it's pet
scheme for abolishing the clause Of the Ashburton
Treaty requiring naval force on the coast of AZ
frica. 1t hoped to sprng it quietly OF this june
ture, and take a snap judgment on the country.
The Investigating Committee in Gen. CullOm's
case will not report this session, owing to the nom
attendance of witnesses who are considered ne
cessary to complete the record
The Ocean Steamer bill, as it passed the House
to-day allows the Office Department the priv
lege of making the great contracts heretofore sPe-
cally regulated by law, and covers jobs second only
TO the Utah war.
There is no foundation for the current rumor
that Mr.. fancy thinks of resiguing the Chief'Jus-
ticeship. His health is about as usual for years
psst.
The Committee on Elections in the House de-
cided unanimously this morning, in the contested
MARYLAND cases of Messrs. Harris and White, that
the latter was not entitled to the seat, and, by a
party vote of FIVE to four agreed to refer the mat
ter back to the people. Mr.. Harris's majority,
when last elected, was $500.
The cause of the delay in reporting the bills or
ganjzng governments in Dacotah and Arizona from
the Senate Committee was that the Indian title To
the land is not yet extnguished in the former The
treaty made, and is now pending before the SEN
ate for that purpose. Whenever ratified the bills
will be immediately brought in.
The weekly statement of the Treasury Is as fol-
lows.
