IMPORTANT LETTER ON THE Usage
LANDS.


The Washington correspondent of
the Lawrence Journal writes to that
paper saying that Senator Pomeroy in
formed him that the Commissioner of
the General Land Office has made de-
cision, of which, if it be acted upon, the
settlers on the Usage diminished re-
serve will be very glad to hear. This
decision as furnished by the JoUnaI corr
respondent is as follows:
l. All settlers upon the Usage di-
miEished reserve and trust lands, who
have settled upon these lands previous
to the passage of the act for the dispo-
sal of these lands, will not be required
to make payment on the 10th of April,
but will be required to make payment
on the 18th of July, 1871. In other
words, payment Is postponed from
April TO July.
3. All who settled upon the lands
subsequent to the passage of the act
July 18th, lS70-will have until one
year from July, 1871, to make payment,
or until July 1872.
3. The department CONSTITUTES the pro-
vision for re-entry in square form to
mean as follows Entries can be made
in legal subdivisions. A settler can
take four forties in a row, if there is no
settlement on either of the forties.
The quarter-scction cannot be entered
in ell shape, but can in the form of a
parallelogram, or, of course, in square
form, as provided by the act.
4. Actual settlement is a condition
precedent to eutry. Actual settlement
is to be construed to mean six months
| continuous occupation and residence,
and actual improvement of the lands to
| be entered.

PARK CRY, KAN, April l, 1871.
EDIToR EMPoRIA News AS the Ar
kansas valley is the Eldorado of the
State, and the grand centre of attrac-
ton, apprehend that a communication
from here will not be Objectionable to
you, while it may be of interest to many
of your readers whose highest anticipa-
tiOns are here centered, and who are
impatiently awaiting the day when they
will be residents of Sedgwick county
and eagerly mingling with the vast sea
of humanity that is spreading out over
the valley and moulding the rich unre-
claimed prairie into beautiful farms.
Spring has opened out in earnest, and
people are still pouring into the valley
in increasing numbers. Such tide of
immigration as has been pouring into
this country for eight months has prob
ably never been witnessed before, and
the evident fertility of the soil is GER
tainly a sufficient justification for their
coming. Grass is growing rapidly aud
already affords good pasture, and plow-
ing and spring work generally is pro-
crossing finely. And as the spring time
with all its vernal grandeur bursts upon
us, so does the increasing greatness of
our county dawn.
Sedgwick county is traversed from
its northwest to its southeast corner by
the Big Arkansas river, and by a valley
that may truthiully be claimed to be
wider, richer, and more supremely
grand in appearance than any other in
the State, and of which our people may
be justly proud. The eagerness with
which claims are sought by hundreds OF
newcomers, the tenacity with which
they are held after found, and the ex-
travagant plaudits INDUCED in by all
who come here, sufficiently verify every
statement have made, and warrant the
conclusion that this will be one of the
most densely settled counties in the
State by the coming of its second or
third anniversary, while four great
lines of railroad will have been con-
structed so as to pierce its centre and
build up q town that will be among the
largest and most important and impo-
sing in the State. And that town is
Park City. The word has already gone
forth that Park City gets the A. T. & S.
+. railroad, that the railroad aforesaid
runs four miles southeast of Sedgwick
City, and ten miles northwest of Wich-
ita, and that Park City will be the ter
minus of the road for a year, if not for

Those speakers who are in the habit

Ben Wade, one of the ablest men in
the country is prominently mentioned
as a candidate for Governor of Ohio
next fall. Old Ben, it is said, refuses
to allow his name to be used, but if the
people of that State are so wise as to in
sist upon using it, we think he will find
It easy to overcome his objections. The
Chicago Republican thinks it wouldn't
be a bad plan to nominate "old Ben" for
the Presidency in 1872. We rather like
the suggestion ourselves, and we believe
the people wouldn't object. Ben Wade
is rather old, but not all feeble, and we
can think of no one who would be apt
to make a more successful race.

Il is religious. 1t anchors its faith to
the Saviour's command ''Do unto 9TH

you" and never loses sight of the "Ser-
mon on the Mount" in advising the
people. 1t says "our political, social
and moral sentiments on whatever sub
ject may arise, must, before its avowal
through our columns, be submitted to
the tombstone of these immortal pre-
cepts." We like our friends religion
in fact il cannot be improved upon. We
like his application of it. But it is a
query with us how our Democratic

with the Sermon on the Mount" But

to this, the article referred to is excel

GENTLEMEN-By the twelfth section

continue the disposal of the Usage trust

By these terms payment is to be made

BY this extension, settlers on the

You will, therefore, allow no claims
