THE SEIZURE OF THE VICrORIA.-On Mon
day last the porgy steamer Victoria (Which was
carried off from this port fortnight ago in
most reckless and daring manner by Mills, one
of her owners. having keeper on board who
had been placed there by the sheriff., was
brought back, but at the request of one of the
counsel in the case the particulars of the affair
were suppressed, as it was thought that it
would be best to wait until the affair came be-
fore the courts The Injunction of secrecy
having been removed we give the following
statement:
1t appears from the statement of Mr. Wal
ton, that Mills represented to his crew, that he
sold the vessel to Spanish firm in New York.
and thai he had settled the claims which Port
land parties had upon her, and wished to take
her to her purchasers before any more attach
ments were placed upon her. The crew resid-
ed in the vicinity of New York, and the prom
Use that they should be paid for their summers
work alter thew had arrived at that port, and
should be allowed to go to their homes induc-
ed them to assist Mills in his scheme. After
having secured the CO cooperation of tie crew it
became necessary to take care of the keeper
An attempt was made at first to bride him, but
this failing, he was placed below and kept
there till the vessel got outside No personal
violence was offered, but there were eight men
against one and he was compelled to submit,
though he did SO under protest. On the voy-
age the steamer encountered heavy weather,
and was compelled to put into Provncetown.
Here the keeper telegraped to the sheriff, and
he to Deputy Adams. who started Immediately
for Provlncetown and seized the vessel.
Mills was not on board but left the vessel in
small boat in this harbor just after she got
underweigh. Adams engaged pilot and one
man in Provincetown aud went on board the
vessel, determined to bring her and the crew to
this port. He called the men on deck and gave
item their choice between being iroued and
confined below, and assisting in bringing back
the steamer. They chose the latter, and on
Saturday night last the vessel started for this
port. Sunday. when off Cape Ann, she en-
countered a strong head wind, and after beat
ing four hours and making little Roadway, she
was compelled to put into Cape Ann for har-
Dor. Here she remained till night when the
wind changed and she sailed, arriving at this
port about IL o'clock Monday morning. The
crew appear to be entirely innocent in the mat
ter, and were evidently deceived by the repre-
sentation made to them by Mills. How the
affair will be settled remains to be seen. Mills
has not yet been arrested.

near it. The fellow pretended to go out by

T.. occurs tomorrow evening and possesses eS-
traordinary attractions from the fact that on
this occasion that sweet bird of song, Miss
Annie Louise Cary, will give her first concert
in her native State since her return from Eu-
rope. On our second page will be found a
sketch of the life of this young prima donna
who is said, by the most accomplished critics,
to possess the finest contralto voice in the
country without doubt, unless they except that
OF Miss Adelaide Phillips. And yet Miss
Carys voice is said to surpass that of the great
est singer our country has produced, since IL Is
fresh and pure and has not been subjected to
the wear and tear of many Seasons upon The
stage. From her first appearance in New
York on the 10Th of September the press of the
metropolis, of Boston Chat most critical OF
cites), of Philadelphia, of Baltimore, have all
united in laying their tributes of admiration
before the public, and some OF them (whose
heads resisted the fascinating beauty of
Nlsson). even went so far as to say that Miss
Cary divided the honors with the fair Swede.
However that may be she will never sing be-
fore such an audience as will be gathered to
hear her tomorrow night; composed, not of
strangers, but of those who have known her
from childhood, watched with careful and ca.
ger interest the cultivation and development of
her voice, and to whom her triumphs as they
were flashed across the ocean over the electric
wire were their triumphs and her successesses
in her own country, after her return, their sue
cesses.
Apart from the great artist of the evening
there are others who deserve more than a
parting notice, and we shall have something to
say of them tomorrow. Mrs. Dow, a charm
ing soprano singer, the wife of a former towns
man, who has generously offered her services.
M. w. Whitney, one of the finest bass singers
in the country, who appeared here in oratorio
under the auspices Of the Haydn Society, Mr.
Packard, of Boston, a fine tenor, while our
own Kotzschmar, a host in hims, will furnish

The Democracy are circula-
ting the impression privately
that all of the land within five
miles of the Pacific Railroad
was given by act of Congress
to the companies. Now, we
believe in giving the devil his
due always, and although the
land grant business has been
abused it is not near as bad as
the Democracy are trying to
make out. The whole country
is laid off in regularly num-
bered sections. For the pur.
pose of securing the road, the
government grants the compa-
ny twenty odd numbered Sec
tions, on each side of the road,
for each mile built and equip
ped, the land TO be selected
within five miles OF the road,
and excepting mineral lands
and lands which have been ia.
ken up under the homestead
act. 1t will be seen then thai
the government must retain al
least every alternate or even
numbered section of land, and
does not. give a solid strip O.

sent.

If there is one virtue more
than another claimed by the
Democracy it is their great
horror of taxation. And il
there is one kind of taxation
they hate more than another
it is the tax collected to pay
the interest on the government
bonds. The "bloated bond
holder" is an object of execra-
ton and vituperation by the
Democracy. This being the
case it would seem a little
strange that when an opportu-
nifty occurs to reduce the taxa.
tion and save several millions
of interest yearly, the Democ
racy are found voting to a man
on the side of the "bloated
bondholders." A bill was in.
troduced in the last Congress
providing for taking up the
present bonds drawing six per
cent. interest, and giving in re.
turn for them bonds bearing
less interest,-some OF them
at s per cent. some Of them at
A. per cent, and the remainder
at 3 per cent. A reduction
OF only ona per cent. on the
bonds would save about thir'
teen millions every year. Not
one Democrat in the Senate
or House voted for this bill.
Fifty.four Democrats voted
against it in the House, and
ten IN the Senate. Here the
Democracy voted in the inter
est of the "bloated bondhold-
ers," for We all know they have
no desire to have their inter
est lowered-Portsmouth Tn

lose anything by giving away
alternate sections of land2-
They hold, and the demand for
the land shows that they hold
truly, that the land which
they retain is doubled in val.
ue by reason of the road fur
nishing a ready market for the
farmers who may settle on
them. The government lands
along the Pacific r. r. were
held at $1.25 per acre before
the road was built, and no
buyers; now they could be
disposed of in no time at $3.50
per acre, at which they are
held, if it was to the interest
of the government to let them
60 at that price. The compa.
ny is selling their lands at an
average of SIS per acre, and
the lands of the government
are equally as valuable.
So we see that this is not
such bad financiering after all,
and we have only to go back to
1860, when we will find that
both political parties endorsed
1T in their platforms, and no
act yet passed has caused a par.
tisan division in Congress-
The principle is good. but
it has been abuSed-or is
sought to be abused--by max,
ing more numerous grants
than the true interests..of the
people and the government de.
!mand. To opposition to fur,
ther land grants the Republic
can party stands pledged by its
action in Congress, and plat
