nAILRoADLaNp enArrs.

The Governor sent in Special Mes
sage to the Legislature in response to
call for information relative to the con-
dition of the land grants, of which the
following is an extract. He says:
In the endeavor to furnish you the in.
formation desired, the important fact has
been developed. that these immense trans
actions, SO vital to the best interests of
our State have, for series of years, been
conducted in q manner contrary to my
understanding of the law on the subject,
and resulting to great extent, in q
wrongful absorption Of this muni6cent
grant. Good faith TO you and to the peo-
pie seems TO demand plain exposition of
these matters and know of no consid-
Grafton which should deter me from .
faithful and thorough performance of the
duty imposed.
l have failed to find sufficient evidence
to justify the conclusion that any of the
companies designated have fully complied
with the plain conditions of the several
acts by which they became bene6ciaries
of this generous donation. If the evidence
Of their compliance is extant, it is due,
alike to them and to the people that it be
deposited here in its appropriate place,
where it will be accessible to all, and re-
move all grounds for doubling the legali-
ty OF their transactions.
The Message then gives history of
the operations of the said railroad COM
panies, showing that each and all have
failed in various respects to comply with
the plain conditions Of the grant by Con-
gress and the act of the Legislature. And
further, it seems that there is no appoint
ment of authorized agents on record, and
that there is almost an entire lack oflegal
evidence by certificate of sales of the
conveyance of the lands selected.
The Message closes as follows:
What evidence have we then that these
companies are entitled to the lands thay
claim, and viii they and their grantees
be able to maintain their titles when test
ed in the courtsg / suggest, therefore
that it would be for the interest Of I'll
parties 70 have some definite mode pre-
scribed BY law for vessing the titles Il
those lands in the companies. and there.
BY avoid trouble aud litigation.

We have frequently heard the above
addressed to some NANCY cur who was
sneakiug along behind his master without
leave but yesterday we heard it address
ed to different kind of an animal, and
under very different circumstances.
In front Of one of the many low dog
geries that flank both sides of Main street
at the upper end of town, leaning against
the railing, was man-we call him such
though he certainly was not deserving of
the Dame-in an almost beastly state of
intoxication, yet still able to keep his feet
with the kindly assistance of the post,
with his wife standing by his side, bella
boring him about the head with piece
Of rope, about three feet in length, and
filing his ears with epi.hets similar to the
above. Quite crowd gathered around
to witness the pommelliug, but none
seemed inclined to interfere in preventing
the punishment he so well deserved, until
at length soldier, arriving at the
"scene of conflict" undertook to part the
combattants, when the woman changed
her base of operations" and pitched in
to him with renewed energy, and he was
forced to seek safety in flight, and the last
that was seen of them the soldier was
going through an alley at break meek
speed, with the woman close at his heels,
and numerous pIchins shouting and yell
ing, bringing up the rear. We presume
the soldier will learn lesson from his ex-
perience, and never hereafter meddle
with family affairs.

War Meeting TO-Night.

There is to be War Meeting At the
Court House tonight. The object. We
understand, is to inaugurate some meas
ure to raise recruits and save our city
from the draft.
We understand that about $50 recruits
have been enlisted in this township, and
about 100 more are required to fill our
quota. 1t seems that the offers of fifty
dollars premium, made by a number of
individuals with the best intentions and
in very liberal spirit, have had the effect
of putting dead lock on the ordinary
mode of recruiting, and now we must
wait tamely for the draft, or else make
an energetic and concerted effort to secure
volunteers 10 fill up our quota. The time
is short, and what is to done must be
done quickly.
Then, let all our citizens turn out to-
night and take counsel together in this
matter which concerns SO deeply the repu-
tation and the interests of our city.

LucKY.-On Sunday night last our
friend, Mr.. Evans, lost his pocket-book
containing $50 in greenbacks as be was
returning from church. Discovering his
loss after arriving home, he got lantern
and carefully searched the ground but
nothing of the money could be seen. No
luck in that, was there ? But yesterday
morning, with forlorn hope beating a
reveille in his bosom, he took walk over
the fatal ground and there lay the pocket
book just as he had dropped it. He
snatched it up and started home with a
heavier pocket and lighter heart. That
is the lucky part of this item.

w. c. Stripe, collects more Internal Rev
enue for the government in the southern
half of Lee county than all the other COL
lectors raise in the remaining seven coun-
ties and half Of this Congressional Dis
trict.
Will some one inform the public how
it is that Keokuk and vicinity pays more
tax to the government than Burlington,
Fort Madison and seven other counties,
aud half to back them up. Is it owing
to their poverty. or the negligence of the
Deputy Collectors.
