LANDS FOR SOLDIERS.

The Topeka Record of the 9Th pub
fishes the bill recently passed by the
Houses of Representatives, granting
lands to union soldiers. The bill
promises that every soldier and officer
who has served in the army of the
United States during the recent rebel
lion for ninety days, and who has
remained loyal to the government,
shall be entitled to 160 acres of the pub
lie lands subject to entry uuder the
homestead laws.
The soldier is allowed twelve months
after locating his homestead in which
to commence settlement and improve
ment; second, the time which the SOL
der was in military service is to be de-
Quoted from the five years. time now
required to perfect homestead title
third, the soldier may assign his home
stead certificate to any person entitled
to avail himself of the provisions of the
present homestead law; fourth, the
widow or minor orphan children of a
deceased soldier are to succeed to all
his rights as aforesaid; and fifth, any
soldier who is now drawing a pension
on account Of wounds or disabilities,
may el.oer vi On and receive a patent
for a quarter section of land by an
agent or attorney.
The bill passed the House by a vote
of 1S4 to 2-the negative votes being
cast by Gibson, of West Virginia, and
Smith, of Oregon,-both democrats, OF
course. What the fate of the measure
will be in the Senate, cannot safely be
predicted: but Washington correspon-
dents assure US that the indications are
favorable to its passage.

that may b organized between now and
the next apportionment. The number
of Sera will undoubtedly be raised
to 3, The Constitutional limit Many
of the old counties will lose some OF
the present number of members. Ly-
on will have but two members of the
House. 1t is thought that Lyon and
Greenwood will be together again as
Senatorial district, as the two contain
about the requisite population for a
Senator.
There will probably be nothing done
toward the congressional apportion-
ment at this session, as Congress will
hardly pass the bill fixing the number
of members for each State, before the
close of our session.
Resolutions have been adopted
memoriaIlzing Congress in favor of a
more liberal homestead law, also in
structing our members in Congress to
oppose any further appropriations for
the public buildings in Washington, as
the National Capital should be removed
to the Mississippi Valley. S.
