WASHINGTON.
Circu lar From the Land ONCE.


WASHINGTON, August 4.-Speculation
has been going on for some time in the
matter Of military county land warrants
which the circular from the General
Land Office to-day will put an end to.
Parties having filed claims for warrants
would be informed by some person,
whom they supposed to have the means
Of learning in the Department, or in
some way, at any rate they would be
impressed with the belief that there was
little chance OF their claim being allow
ed. The way being thus paved for a
good bargain, the applicant would be
induced to make an assignment OF his
warrant, in advance of its issue, with
with the date left blank, to be filled
up when the warrant had been obtained.
The price paid would be insignificant,
of course, on account of the pretended
risk. II is, moreover, not unlikely that
the purchaser had information In ad-
vance OF the probable success OF the
application in any particular case which
be entered upon. 1t is not known how
extens lively this fraud has been prac-
ticed, nor how many claimants have
been thus swindled. ......

The superintendent OF the recruiting
service for the western division, has
been ordered to send one hundred re-
cruits to Fort Shaw, Montana, and five

THE very general belief that the Con
gresham OF to-day is a much worse
sort of person than the Congressman Of
long ago may not be entirely correct.
1t appears from an incident related in a
recently published volume entitled THE
Domestic Life OF Thomas Jefferson,
that our revolutionary forefathers in
Congress assembled had their little
items OF incidental expenses, many OF
them quite as queer as those which
astonish the constituents OF to-day.
The following story is related by Mr..
Jefferson, concerning the first Cont
mental Congress:
Delegate Harrison OF Virginia,
desiring to stimulate" presented him
self and friend at certain place where
supplies were furnished Congress, and
ordered two glasses Of brandy and
water. The man in charge replied
that LIQUORS were not included in the
supplies furnished Congressmen.
"Why, said Harrison, what is it.
then, that I see the New England mem
bers come here and drink ?
"Molasses and water, which they
have charged as stationery, was the
reply.
Then give me the brandy and water,
auoth Harrison, and charge it as
