quarters yesterday afternoon, where he az
once made q full Acknowledgment Of his
agency in the matter, and ezculpated all
the newspapers, which he had succeeded in
Victimi1ing, from any connection with il
directly or indirectly. He employed another
person, whose name we believe is Morrisssy,
to make the copies which were sent to the
press. It is reported that several other
persons were eOgnizant Of the proceeding,
and also made il the basis Of speculative
operations in gold. But Howard, we under.
stand, denies that any person was a all i'm
plieated with him in the transaction.
Howard bad beeR- connected in various
capacities with several Of the city news
papers, the Times and Tribune among
them and had thus acquired a knowledge Of
their routine Of business which was Of
service to him in this imposition upon
them.

The Reasons.
S. W. w. CoUGuEY, Sect y.

GEsrs-I am asked every day what claim
Mr.. Lincoln has to a re election to the Presi
dency. The following are the reasons, in part:
| 1st. His administration has been just, hu
name and determined. He has taught the
Rebels to respect what they would not love.
I'd. He has proven himself inferior to none
in sagacity and craftsmanship. and won the
admiration of his enemies.
Sd. He has made US. the first Nation up
on the face of the earth, and demonstrated the
fact that We are capable of self government
4th. He is patriot statesman and christian
warrior.
5th. lie says the Union must and shall be
preserved, and knows exactly how to prdserve
! it.
9th. The Nation owes him debt of graft
tude, which can only be partially requitted by
his re election.
Eth. He has had more to contend with than
any other man in bis position ever had before
and triumph; and with such christian lea
der, liberal and magnauimous, we as nation
are nvincible.
Sth. The war upon the Union was oommen-
ced by Traitors because he was elected Presi
dent, and it j. necessary TO elect him again TO
prove TO them that the n orth still think they
have right to elect n ortbern man if they
want To-
9th, He is detested by traitors which proves
that he is the right man in the right place
and the only man capable of navigating The
Ship of Union through secession waters with
out danger of strsudiDg.
10th. 1t is necessary to elect Lincoln, SC
that be can learn England all about prvateer-
ing and France all about the Monroe doctrine
when be has leisure, and make the Star Span
gled Banner terror to traitors and tyrants.
submit the above reasons for bis reelection
and am satisfied that even Copperheads will
endorse them. Yours Respectfully, E. c. L.

"The race is not altrays to the swift nor the

by leisurely retrospective view Of President
Lincolns career as Chief Executive OF the
Government during the present unparalleled
rebellion. While carpers Abou, the weakness
OF the Administrators against everything

Of our affairs, it ia an undoubted fact that, when

To Quiet California Land Titles.

A correspondent Of the Sacramento Union
writing from Washington, under date of Feb
ruary llth, says that Senator Comes has
introduced bill into Congress to expedite
the settlement of the titles 10 lands in the
State of California, OF which the principal
point is the abrogation of the Act Of 1860,
commonly known IS the Hoffman Act" By
which the Courts of the United States are
obliged to act and decide upon mere questions
of metes and bcuuds in deteFming upon pri-
yate land grants At present the Courts have
TO decide upon questions which,in the abse nee
OF accurate maps, can only be i1telligenlly
considered BIZ Land Commissioners or Survey
ors; and this bill takes all such questions out OF
the Cour.s and makes il necessary that the
pats and surveys of the lands in dispute shall
be forwarded TO the Commissioner Of the Gen
ersl Land Office, where objections. if any.
shall be made, and if DO objection is made
within three months after their receipt bv
him. the correctness of the same shall net be
open to contestation in any Court in any suit
between the United States and The claimant,
or between parties claiming under them, but
patent shall be issued to the claimant as soon
as possible after such an approval. Under
the Hoffman Act" these cases have greatly
multiplied, and are likely to become a serious
nuisance to the Supreme Court, which they
have just began TO reach. The bill also pro
vdes that where al appeal has already been
taken in these private land cases to the Su-
prene Court, thst Court shall have jurisdic-
tion and shall determine the case, but where ii
has not been taken, the case may be sent back
to the Surveyor General from the Circuit
Court for new survey. or the Circuit Court
may reverse or modify ths decision Of the
Court below; bu! if new survey is had in the
case the subsequent survey shall be subject to
the decision OF the Commissioner Of the Gene,
