by the Committee, but only auth hJrity given to
Mr.. Banks to report It, yet no one has authority
Tor saying 1t has not the approval Of the Com.
mittee The better mpression seems to be that
1t will be opposed by only one member ofthe
Committee, who is In the habit of opposing
everything. When the facts come to be known
it is believed the resolution Will meet the ap.
prOVal of Congress. These governments have
asked for this protection, and it is confidently
asserted that the presence there of the American
flag would be the signal for abandoning all
reVolunonary prOJecis, ana Tor the rest
less portion of the inhabitants TO at
once seek industrial purs lits. The passage
of the joint resolution would be followed
up by conventions between the Govern
ment and the republics named, in which the
details as to the manner of exercising the pro-
tectorate would be agreed upon. This policy,
if carried out, would soon place the two re-
pubics completely under the influence of the
United States, and with this influence properly
eXerted, the friends of liberal government in
Cuba would have their hands streng gthened, aud
important results would necessarily and speedily
follow. 1t is said that General Butler will move
to amend the resolution 50 as to embrace the
doubtful. The resolution will be reported on
Tuesday and called up during the following
week for discussion. |..-

The Late Secretary of War Or the New
York SenatOrShip.

The Hon. L. NJ. Stanton recognizes the obi
cations OF the Government, and OF the Depart.
ment OF War more especially, to Senaotr Morgan
III the following note, which he has addressed
TO member OF the New York Government. 1t
disposes fully of all caIumnies against Senator
Morgan which the fervor OF the present contest
has thus lar deveoped;-
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. my Dear Sir-The
confidence and respect inspired by your ac-
quaintance during the war induces me to address
YOU on a subject In relation to which | take
some considerable interest, while anxious to
abstain from any Improper interference--l mean
the approaching election of Senator from New
York. | am informed that misre presentations
ore actively urged against Governor Morgans
reelection, in respect to his supposed action
while Governor in relation to the daft and also
respecting the election of Governor Wads worth.
In respect to strengthening the army by draft
and volunteers, no State Executive was more
prompt, active, or harmonious with the Execu-
tive Administration at Washington. For his
uniform and hearty support to the War Depart
ment in the great struggle l shall al ways feel
under obligation to Governor Morgan. MIR.
Lincoln, as you doubtless know, had great
regard for him.
In respect to Governor Morgan's action re-
]ating to General Wads worth, the General aud
! had frequent conversations about that can
yass, and the conduct of prominent persons
supporting or betraying him. The General
always spoke with respect, confidence, aud
favor towards Governor Morgan, as true friend
who had supported him faithfully in the ontest.
The support given to the War Department by
Governor Morgan as Executive OF the State and
Senator will, trust, in your Judgment excuse
me for this explanation and warrant my desire
for his re election to the Unied States Senate,
His defeat wonld of course crafty his political
enemies of the CopperheadJ ohnson stripe, and
be claimed as sign of Johnsons strength In
New York. For this reason, without any dis
crlmination OF individuals that could be
nvidious am earnestly desirous to see the
Governor re elected as a token of approval o
his loyal support of the Government and tht
Republican party. Yours, truly,
EDWIN M, STANTON,

LAND GRANTS.
Another Damaging Exposure by Cor
reapOndomt.

The Cincinnati Gazette, on the authority of its
Washington correspondent, has another damag.
ing exposure OF the alleged fraudulent grants OF
Govern ment lands to railroad corporations and
others. IL says:-
Congress- up to March last had granted in all
to various Western and Southern States over
81, 600, 600 acres of lands for railroad purposes.
1t has Piven besides over 100000 acres to
canals and similar improvements The Pacific
Railroads and branches have received l24000 900
acres, and if to this is added the even numbered
sections along these routes, which the Secretary
Of the Interior decided to be closed tor settle
ment, 1T will appear that nearly one third of the
entire public domain has been made over to the
control OF railroad companies.
THE quantity of lands conveyed by these
grants, ~ says the Commissioner OF the General
Land Office, lis of empire extent, exceeding
in the aggrt gate, by more than five millions OF
acres, the entire ateas OF the Six New England
states, added TO the surface Of New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, Mary
land and VIrPinia" He says the grants to the
Pacific. Railway mes alone ARE within )ut
a fourth of being twice the united area of Eng.
land, Scotland, Wales, Irelaud, Guernsey,
jersey, the Isle of Msp, and the islands of the
British cas-, and lessthan tenth Of being equal
to the French empire proper.n
In 1860 and 1861 the Government sold 23i 600
acres of Delaware lands to the Loaveu worth,
Pawnee and Western Road. In 1866 IT sold
81, 600 acres Of Delaware lands to the Miss )uri
River Road, and in 1859 it disposed of 27S, 200
acres to only thirtysix purchasers Among
them we're the tollowing:-Hon. Hugh McCul-
loch 70l4 acres Perry Fuller Mcdonald,
39,05s acres; Johu McManus, l42,9l5 acres;
Robert s. Stevens, 81, $50 acres, and so on.
In 1865, Senator Pomeroy, being then Presi-
dent and one of the principal owners of the
AtchisOn and Pixies Peak Railroad Company. a
Dill was carried through the Senate, by which
this road purchased 1913 S32 acres of as rich
lands as there are in Kansas.
The above facts and figures were brought TO
the notice of the House by MIR. Julian, Chairman
OF the Committee on Public Lands, in March
last, and Mr.. Clarke, of Kansas, has given direct
testimony upon most OF the points involved in
the attempted Usage and the completed Cnero-

THE winter weather has not stopped the
work upon the Union Pacific Railroad, whose
advance during the winter months will be con-
stant, although, of course, less rapid than in
the better working days of summer aud fall.
So much will be done, however, that the spring
OF 1870 will see the closing of the Intervening
distance between the Union Pacific and the
Central or California division. Meanwhile the
company gives ample security to the Govern
ment that the road Will be thoroughly built and
equipped In accordance with law. The Presi-
dent has ordered the continued issue OF Gov
eminent bonds upon the road as finished, the
recent special examining commission having
borne decided testimony to the good character
Of the work. The first mortgage bonds of the
Union Pacific Railroad are for sale by De
Haven & Brother, Philadelphia, at par and
accrued interest. New Illus trated pamphlet

A DESPERATE RIDE.
A Boy Followed by a Vigilance Com
miltP9,

One of the most exciting occurrences that has
happened in this county for some time past
transpred at Hickory Grove last evening. They
have IN that vicinity regularly organized vigil
lance committee for the purpose OF protecting
themselves against horse thieves, and the bring
ing them to justice afterwards. These Vlgllantes
are always ready for business; will, IN tact,
follow horse.thief on the drop of the hat.
Last evening there was singing school
at the school house. The young people
assembled, as was their custom, put
In their anxiety to do the gallant, they, like the
foolish maIdens, had forgotten to fill their lamps
with oil. Darkness was good thing under
some circumstances, but II wouldn't do for
singing purposes, so it was decided that young
Elm. DeCamp should take one of his fathers
horses and 20 up the road about mile for oil,
while the others waited his return. Taking the
oil can, he went directly to the stable, aud
bridling the fastest steed OF the lot, he galloped
off. A vigilante, seeing this part OF the proceed
ings, hastened to the house with the startling
intelligence that some one had just
stolen horse. Madison De Camp, whs,
note, fastened to the stable, and, on
seeing that his best horse was gone, quickly un-
tied another, and, without saddle or birdie, and
without stopping to get his hat, mounted and
dashed madly up the road after the supposed
thief, arousing the vigilantes as he went. Being
| IN hurry 10 shed light upon darkened singing
| school, young DeCamp, something OF horse-
man as well as his sire, didn't let any stray
horseman overtake him, and so unconsclously
! gave his pnTsuer more distance than he wanted.
In lew minutes the country was sWarming nth
armed men, and at the head OF the brayest band
! OF them all rode Madison DeCamp bareheaded,
and grasping the leather thong with an iron
| grasp. Meanwhile, young DeCamp had
| procured his oil and was riding at q stiff gait
| towards home. He saw several horseman in his
way, but, not knowing that they were thrstiug
tor his blood, he rode directly into their midst.
They knew the horse, and supposed some of the
advanced viglantes had intercepted the thief
and turned his course. 30 DeCamp, sr., rode
up to the supposed thief and seeing his owa
son, could only say, "What in thunder brought
you herem Young DeCamp, seeing his
own father bareheaded and astrlde OF
horse that he had left but short
time before safe in the stable at home, could
only return the salutation and in about the
same style. All saw the Misunderstanding.
Couriers were despatched and the vigilantes
called in. Later that evening there was big
