Government owed exactly g, 49,, 6s957ll3 In

The ways of European diplomatists are very
mysterious, and at times past finding out
This is prominently the case with reference
to the Roman question, and the proposition
for disposing Of it by a general conference of
the powers, great and small, Catholic and
Protestant. The cable has informed us that
on Saturday evening, in the House of Com
mons, Lord Stanley expressed his inability to
see that any good would result from this Con-
ference, "without previous agreement as to
the basis upon which their deliberations
should be conducted" And, of course, the
absence of such an agreement prevents Eng
land from accepting the invitation Of France
to participate. From the outset, this has been
the universal objection to the favorite method
of Napoleon for distributing the responsibility
of settlement of the question among all the
powers; and although it is authoritatively an
nounced by La PreSse of Paris that the Con-
ference will in due time assemble in that city,
it is extremely doubtful if such will be the
case.
According to the established policy of this
country, no Conference is needed to determine
question is an Italian question, and the only
parties to it are King Victor Emanuel and
Pope Plus TX. England, France, and Ger
many have no better right to interfere than
they have to propose general consultation
of the civilized world on the reconstruction of
South Carolina. If the Pope and Italy are
permitted to settle their own disputes, the
end will soon be reached. But this state of
affairs is utterly impossible, and for that rea-
son a.general Conference is the most feasible
method of terminating question which will
threaten the peace of Europe so long as it re-
mains an open one. The fact that no definite
basis for the deliberations of the Conference
can be agreed upon should not stand in the
way. If all the powers were agreed upon the
conditions of the settlement, the Conference
would be highly ornamental affair, of no
practical effect whatever. The mere fact that
the powers are unable TO agree is, in truth,

OUR PUBLIC DoMAN.--lt has been but short
time since Congress inaugurated the present
system Of aiding the construction Of railroads
by grants of land TO the parties interested in
them, and yet It has already devoted to that
purpose 124, 600 900 of acres Of our public do
main. In addition TO this, 57,5ss,0O0 acres
have been donated to the several States for
various purposes. Altogether including that
given in aid of the construction Of common
highways or wagon roads, the land grants have
amounted TO the enormous sum of 1874, ,813, 900
acres, which equals in extent the territory OF
Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey New York, and the six
New England States, with a surplus of
100000 of acres. Notwithstanding these
vast donations, the United States is still the
owner in fee-simple Of /, ,4G5, ,468, 800 acres ex-
elusive Of Alaska the $50, 900 acres of
which make grand total of 1884, 99S, 400
Yet Mr.. Seward appears to be impressed with
the idea that our territorial limits are too re-
stricted, and is engaged IN laudable effort at
buying up all the sunken and demolished
islands Of the sea. This would be quite
harmless amusement on the part of the face
tious Secretary, if it were not for the fact that
he pledges the faith of the nation to pay for
these islands at the rate of 81 500 900 per pair.
If Mr.. Seward will have the patience to wait,
we do not doubt but that we will in time OBJ
tain the entire continent, with all its outposts,
and that for the mere asking.
