Some of Mr.. Stewards omissions in his report on the
laws affecting freedmen in the States in reconstruc
ton, important than any he thought prudent
to commit TO Congress. The old ani-negro laws have
been reenacted and declared in full force against
freedmen in Mississippi, and the revised penal code
makes death the punishment for the commission by a
negro OF murder rape arson robbery, or the attempt
TO commit such crimes. white man is hung only
for the crime Of murder. Twenty lashes are pre-
scrbed for every freedman who is found away from his
place Of employment, and the yagrant law reenacts
that articles that freedmen may DO seeking to sell
may be appropriated by "civil officers and Others"
II punishable for negroes to congregate OF night or
hold school, and both ears may be cut off for false
witness. These hideous provisions have never been
stricken out of the statute book most of them have
been deliberately reenaced in the vagrsnt laws; and
though the Secretary Of State credits Mississippi with
acts comforting civil rights freedmen, and amend
atory Of the vagrant laws, there these shameful
features Of blind and cruel barbarism remain, as Mr.
Seward we'll knows. What Secretary Of State is
general sayedrver now, and who is carrying out the
bred Scott decision We are aware that Mr..
Seward has made the same omissions in his present
ment Of the codes Of other late nsurgent States"
and at another time We shall endeavor TO supply
of his omissions.

LEGIsLATION R0R THE MINING
STATE0.

Hitherto the titles 10 public lands known to contain
mineral lodes have remained with the General Gov
eminent, and miners working the lodes could not
obtain ownership Of the soil. But Congress, during
its late session, provided for the sale and survey Of
these lands throughout the mining regions OF the
United States.
The act permits any individual or company having
possession, or title recognized by the local courts
or local customs to buy at S5 per acre. 1t does not
compel purchase, and without it the party in pos.
session may still work the mines, as now. But no
miner will refrain from procuring an absolute TITLE
In place Of his present uncertain tenure. The act
does not interfere with placer or gulch diggings.
These are the poor mans patrimony, not to be sold
always open TO ALL But to the great lodes, invariably
requiring heavy investments before yielding profits
capitalists can now secure an unquestionabe title.
Another act was passed ITO quiet land titles IN
California" Years ago, the Legislature OF that State
authorized the selection of public lands, under the
School Grant before these lands had been surveyed
by the United States This was contrary to all pre-
cedent if not contrary to law; and many OF The Sc
ections made BIZ tho State authorities were aterwaFd

Gen. Jno. A. Logan, one of the chief heroes Of
Shermans march to the sea- was, before the outbreak
of the war, Douglas Democrat, and We suppose no
man in the West has represented more vigorously, in
the hall and in the field, what is known as War
Democracy. Gen. Logan, one year ago, stood upon
the same platform Of hostility to unrepentant and un.
requited treason as Andrew johnson. Now, when
Logan declares as be did In his speech Of the 18th at
Chicago, that the President is "a Judas that has
kissed the cheeks of loyalty to betray it in

rejected by the Commissioner Of the United States
General Land Office. As all these lands had been
sold by the State and purchased by individuals dis
putes and Iitgations frequently arose touching the
titles which the State had given.
The act now passed by Congress sustains the con-
structon of the law regulating State selections Of
school lands, upon which the California authorities
based their action, and decides that tho Commits
soner Of the General Land Office was wrong. The
prime object of the bill is to protect the plghted
faith of the State and confirm its titles given to
settlers. It does this in all instances where no con-
aicting right had grown up under other laws OF the
United States at the date Of the passage OF the
bill.
The act also requires all persons claiming Mexican
grants to have them surveyed Immediately upon the
decree of confirmation that the surrounding lands
may be open to settlement by presumption. IL
further provides that when settlers have bought farms
ofMexican grantees, and improved and occupied them
and the United States Supreme Court has aiterward
declared the grants invalid, the settlers may re-
purchase their farms fthe United States Government
at the minimum price of 81 % per acre.
If the law is fairly administered, it is likely to set
tie definitely the conflicting land titles of California
The State Legislature regarded its adoption as i'm
portant, and sent Mr.. J. i. Houghton Surveyor
General of the State to Washington to aid the Con-
gressional delegation in securing its passage. Both
these acts are in the right direction fostering and
strengthening our great mining interests, which,
stimulated by the rapid building of the Pacific Rail
road, are constantly expanding in extent and value
