of Mexico, with the intention of capturing
Panama steamer if favorable opportunity
for such an achievement was presented. Our
gentle brothers on the other side of the con-
tinent are growing strong enough to feel
anxious to share the dangers, profits, and
glories of filibustering with the adventurers
of the Atlantic coast, and the disastrous termi-
nation of their late adventure may exert a
useful influence in prompting them to exert
their energies hereafter in more legitimat e
direction. Piracy, in an open or disguised
form, deserves no countenance from any
quarter in this age. If the facts have been
truthfully reported, the Mohican has only
done its share of the duty devolving upon
the war vessels of all civilized countries.

Aggregate during the year.


Locations of Indian scrip. 24,269'I6
Aggregate during the year .........I ,666, 151 81
The total shows an increase, as compared with
the fiscal year next preceding, of over million
acres. The cash receipts during the year ending
June 30 1869. for ordinary sales and pre-emptions,
including small quantity OF military scrip received
money; for the 50 and $40 homestead payments;
for the commissions on homesteads; for fees the
location of agricultural college scrip; for same in
the location Of military warrants; for fees in pre-.
emption cases, on donations railroad selections,
and on certified transcripts under the acts of 1861
and 1864, make aggregate of S4, 4,472 2S, in
crease over the year preceding of s2,s40, 140'3S.
From the returns so far as received it is estimated
that for the quarter ending 30th September, 1869,
there have been taken by cash sales, bounty-lan
locations homestead entries, and agricultural COL
lege scrip about one million seven hundred thou
sand acres and that the cash receipts for that quar-
ter for sales and warrant fees compare well, and
reach in the aggregate nearly million dollars
The locations OF military bounty land warrants
and OF agricultural college scrip during the afore-
said fiscal year ending June 30 1869, exhibit de-
crease as compared with the year preceding, while
the other items present marked advance, espe-
cially the homestead entries and cash sales, the
latter embracing more than three times the quantity
sold during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1865 and
the total quantity disposed of is greater than in any
previous fiscal year since 1860.
''From the data above presented" says the annual
report of the Commissioner OF the General Land
ONCE, bulky volume of over 400 pages which has
just reached us from the Government Printing
ONCE 'iU is evident that Amecican civilization is
expanding at an acceleratlng ratio over the
continent. The very large advance in
the homestead, pre-emption entries cash
sales, and military bounty-land, warrant
locations, indicates gratifying increase
in the number Of freeholds, being mostly appro-
prated by actual settlers of small farms generally
not exceeding one hundred and sixty acres each.
The land concessions under grants for railroads,
far as it is possible to gather from public nforma-
tion exhibit tendency also to subdivision of pro-
prietorship. The experience of the world has shown
that such tendencies are in the direction of normal
! civilization, by enarging the number OF persons
having landed interest in the preservation of social
/ order"

ocr1t, q chuckle Of delight Was beard al
around the circle, and the Radical editors BE-

charge against NunSen Was wholly without
foundation and that he had never received

Was evidently intended to Offset the Radical
rascality, proven on several ConSressnen Of
that persuasion The only Democrat imph-
Gated at all is CAlAdsy of Kentucky. and his
ohense was not in selling commissions, bet in
nominating cadet Who was not g resident Of
the proper district. II Congress had desired
to make fair inquiry they would no; stop at
that point, for il is we'll known that nearly al
OF the cadets appointed during and since the
war from the Southern States, never were res
idents Of the States from which they were ap-
pointed Mr.. SArgsnt, Of California is also
charged with the same thing in one Of his ap-
Pointments for tia. State few years ago.
when the son Of naval oficer Who never had
any but temporary, Official residence in Cal
ifornia, Was appointed to Annapolis, nofwith-
standing several petitions from old citizens.
In the case of CAladay, the stern, irreproaeh-
able Governor Of Kentucky set eommendA-
bic example in refusing to accept the resigna-
tion Of the Congressman requiring him 20
stand his trial before the House Of Represen-
tAtives. The Radical members from South
Carolina we're more fortunate in having Gov
errors to abet in screening the offenders, Gov
errors who were willing to interpose TO save
them from the disgrace of expulsion.
The credit Of this exposure Of rascality in
Congress belongs to Gen. Slocum, Of Brook
Ign, who was the first to call the attention Of
the House to the advertisement in the Herald.
Negro senators, judges, and officers gene
rally, will undoubtedly be followed by black
cadets in the military and naval schools. The

The EFFECT or DTvoEcS.-The Supreme
Court Of the United States lately rendered
decision as the validity Of divorces obtained
in the courts Of Indiana, which is important
to ali the States. The facts were that Mr..
Cheeyer and wife, disagreeing, she moved
from the District of Columbia to Indiana and
soon after petitioned for divorce, on the
ground Of abandonment and acts Of cruelty.
The decree vas obtained and suit was insti-
gated in Washington for a division Of proper
ty accordingly. CheeVer eontended that the
decree was void for want Of jurisdiction, there
being no bona -tide residence in Indiana She
went in February; the decree was granted in
August; and she left in September. 1t WAS
also claimed that the wife could acquire no
domicile during coverture, apart from her
husband and further il there WAS jurisdiction
Of person there was none Of property.
Judge Swayne delivered the opinion Of the
court, reversing tue decree below, and rec
omnending the course, with directions tn
enter decree III conformity with the opinion
which finds the decree of divorce OF the Indi-
ana court TO he valid. the court having had
jurisdiction of the parties by the appearance
Of the husband in the action without missing
the question there. The decree for that
reason is conclusive upon the parties to the
suit, md rs il il valid by the laws Of Indiana.
and has never been questioned there under the
Constitution of the United States, it must pre-
vail in every other portion Of the country.
The Court also asserts that, so far from being
bound by the domicile of her husband q mar
ried woman may acquire residence Of her
owD, wherever such q residence is neces-
sary for the protection of her rights by litiga-
| ton. The court rest their decision as to the
disposition of the property upon the agree
ment Of the wife subsequent to the divorce.
and do not find il necessary toinqure into the
| authority Of the Indiana court to make the
| decree in respect to the property in the dis
| trict. This contract between Ms. Worcester
| and Mr.. Cheever is held TO be sufficient for
tkS purpose of the decision on that point
| without going beyond it, Mrs. Cheever, sub
sequent to the divorce, married Worcester,
and hence she is made defendant by that
| name.

THE MoRSoSs ABBoAp.-The Mormon mis-
sionaries have visited Long Island like cloud
Of locusts, and with such effect that the
Methodists became frightened at the inroad
and have started a rival revival. Between the
two denominations the island is in religious
fever. A Long Island exchange says most Of
the Mormon converts are young ladies, be-
tween the ages Of IL and %. and that they are
very anxious to leave for Salt Lake. Polyga-
my does NOT seem TO brighten them at all.
The want of husband is probably at the bot
tom Of this sudden conversion. A marriage
ceremony at home would probably be the
most speedy remedy for their religious dis
ease.

History OF THE STovE.-Stoves are
comparatively of recent general use,
though they were in this country as ear
" as 1890. In that year MIR. Pcttlbone,
of Philadelphia, was granted patent for
a stove, which was claimed to be capable
of warming houses by pure heated air
Pettibone's stove wassoon after put In the
alms-house at Philadelphia, and Drs.
James and Chapman, and several mem
bers of Congress, gave testimony OF It's
utility for warming and ventilating church
es, courts of justice, hospitals, manuiac-
tories, etc. This was probably the hrst
attempt to use stoves, at least IN this
country.
From this time forward for many years,
the stove was confined to public places,
its use tor warming private houses or tor
cooking purposes, not having been
thought Of. The long box stove, capa-
BILE Of taking three feet wood, was the
only stove our ancestors knew anything
about.
The FIRST advance toward cooking
stove was making the Franklin stove with
en- oven and the first that deserves the
name of cooking stove, was an oblong at
| fair, having an oven running the whole
| length, the door of which was In front:
and directly over the door for supplying
fuel, and having also boiler on the back
part of the top near the pipe.
