The Public Lands.

Mr.. Julian deserves great credit Gays
the Richmond 7sltgram,) for the thorough
manner In which he hss exposed tho
swindle attempted by certain parties IN
refere nee to the Cherokee aud Usage land
grants, and the prompt Introduction Of a
joint resolution, directing the President
TO withhold the patents now demanded
by the spectators. The faots are briefly
these: Thiry-seven years ago the Gov
eminent aeld in trust for tho Cherokee
Indians the sum Of $500, 900. and, having
appropriated IL, gave the Cherokces in
stead deed Of 800, 600 acres Of land In
what is now Southern Kansas. They
never oecapied the lands, which were held
in trust Cor them by the Government un.
Ill bona .fde white settlers took possession
Of, and improved them, expecting to OBJ
tain title under the Homestead aud Pre-
emption laws. Fifty thousand settlers
had entered upon the lands year ago,
aud the number has since greatly increased
In 'G6 the Cherokees asserted their claim.
but proposed to sell the land. to the
Government for cost. A treaty was made
providing for their sale, either to settlers
at low rates (as a bind) or in lump, for
not less than $500. 900. The lands being
worth at least s3,O0O,0OO, we're bought
up by an American Emigrant Company
for exactly $500, 000-s25, 900 down, and
$4,000 on very long time. When
Browning succeeded Harlan, he 'set
aside the sale to the Emigrant Company,
and made another to Joy, Of Detroit.
After some conflict, these two grantees
made joint stock Of their titles, in order
to make common warfare on the settlers
The lands are now considered worth at
least IS 900, leaving profit to the
operators of 81 200, 900, to be wruug from
the hard earned savings Of the Kansas
settlers. One of them writes to Mr.
Julian that half Of the admit males on
these lands were 10 the war for the Union,
and helped fight for the Nations life.
Some Of them were broken down and
shattered in health ia Rebel prisons, and
others bear the marks Of Rebel shot and
shell. Their inquiry Isl as this sale of
our homes the return our country makes
us7" - ~ -.
The 0sago lands, consisting of 5000. 900
acres, were bought Of the Usage Nation, by
M Sturgis, of Chicago, the principal own
err Of proposed Loaveuworth, Lawrence
and Galv eslon Railroad, for 81 100000,
being twenty cents an acre, payable in
fifteen years. Gen G. w. Blair, of Fort
Scott, bid 100000 with the guarantee
Of reservation for half-breeds and school
lands; but for some reason this last bid
was no, recognized A thorough investi-
CATION will make some rich Developments
and result in giving the actual settlers
their rights

Weak Inventions.

Phe campaign against General Grant
has thus far been conducted by saying
that he is no soldier, and that his name is
Hiram; that against Mr.. Colfax by inven-
ting series of very stupid faIsehoods.
Whether the General is guilty Of the name
Of Hiram is point which may be safely
left to his enemies to settle. Whether he
be a soldier, those enemies who have a
right to an opinion, for instance, Buck
ner ut Donelson, Pemberton at Vicksburg,
Bragg at CLatta nooga, and Lee in Vir-
GINA, have probably made up their minds.
If they have not. the rest Of his country
men have.
AS for Mr.. Colfax's offenses, the first,
namely, that BIO insulted Union soldiers,
is charged by the organs of the party that
denounced the war as wicked and the
soldiers as birelingS while the Speaker
was always most conspicuous among the
eminent supporters Of the cause and friends

Railroad Accident.

The passenger train from Madison, due
at Indianapolis ut noon Saturday, ron
over a COW, mile below Columbus. There
was but one passenger car. which was
thrown from the track, together with the
engine aud baggage car. All the passen-
gers we're more or less injured, among
whom was Hon. III. W. Harrington, ex-
member Of Congress. from the Madison
district. He was en- route for New York,
as delegate to the Democratic National
Convention. He is so seriously injured
as to compel him to abandon the trip.

The Reconstruction Bill.

The President yesterday vetoed the re-
construction bill providing for the admis
sion Of North and South Carolina, Georgia
Alabama and Florida into the Union. II
took the House twenty minutes and\ the
Senate ten minutes to pass the measure
over the veto. The Democrats did not
like the position johnson placed them 10
but they were forced to face the music nd
voted solid to sustain the veto. Within
a week all these States will be fully re-
presented in Congress. The Democratic
members Of Congress have talked them
selves hoarse against the "injustice' OF
keeping Southern representatives out OF
Congress, aud have voted steadily against
admitting them. The fact is, ribs party
is sorely troubled because Republican
Congress has so nearly completed tho
work Of reconstruction-competed 1t. too
on loyal basis, and in spite Of the OPP
position Of Democrats. rebels, and Andrew
johnson. -GGazette, 10Th.

A Washington dispatch to the copper
head dailes of the West says that the re-
duc,ion Of the tax on whisky is regarded
as political necessity by the Radicals, aud
that Congress will not adjourn until it is
accom- plished. We are glad to learn that
the Democratic whisky ring have given up
the hope that Congress may adjourn with.
out lowering the tax. Every gallon Of
whisky manufactured ought to have paid
the Government the legal tax Of two dol
lars, but since Mr.. Johnson has turned
over that branch of the revenue to a gang
Of thieves it has not paid one eighth OF
that sun. 1t is not only a political ne
cessity to the Republican party that this
ring Of villains should be broken up by n
reduction OF the tax, as that seems TO be
the only method of doing so while Andrew
johnson remains President: but it is also
financial necessity to the country. 1t is
a shame that the honest tax payers of the
nation have been compelled to pay mil
lions more every year than they need to
if the whisky tax had been collected. So
much they have suffered by Johnson's
detection to the corrupt Democracy

"Our white Father, who art in white
heaven, hallowed be Thy white name
Thy white kingdom come. Thy white

white bread, and forgive our white breth
