Mr. George ". Julian has written letter to
the New York Tribune, suggesting some 1egiala-
ton which, he believes, should be made by the
present Congress in order to give lasting and
practical effect to the spirit of our Homestead
laws. Mr. Julian's prominent and useful identl-
fcation with Homestead legislation while mem-
ber of Congress, and the devotion which he has
exhibited to the proper bestowa1 Of public lands
at all times entities him to an attentive hearing
on this subject. He makes the point that, in re-
gard to the further grants OF public lands to
railway corporations, every convention Of tho
people held prior to the late election, Joined
in oppoeition to the practice. The National;
Labor Reform Convention, held at Columbus, ;
WAS the first to take this ground, and its exam
pie was initiated by the National Temperance
Convention, the National Convention Of Liberal
Republicans at Cincinnati, the National Domo-'
cratic Convention at Baltimore, and the Ma
tional Republican Convention at Philadelphia
There is no subject Of National Importance,
therefore, in which the policy Of all parties is 30
explicitly determined. Mr.. Julian thinks TINT
Lud1d aAo 4VA1 ~ D0 AoA0 - -A1s o'cA5
bill introduced into the present session Of Con-
gress granting lands to National corporations,
or for other special purposes, should be inconti-
nontly tabled, IS the most direct meenB Of at
testing Congressional respect for the popular
will. 2. There should be legislation embodying
more clearly than now the principle that
lands fit for agriculture shall be
disposed Of to mono other than actual settlers,
as tho only means to prevent monopoly Of the
most valuable lands for speculative purposes
8. That such selection md actual settlement
shall be regarded % O contract between the Coy
ernment and the settler, "a vested right Of prop
erty in the latter, Of which he can only be di-
vested by failure to comply with the conditions
OF his title. Under the present construction Of
the Law, tho settler may be disposseased at any
time prior to the final payment, and his improve
ments confscated. l. That, when my tribe Of
Indians shall desire to part with their lands,
they shall DO conveyed directly to the United
States instead Of being sold to some monopo1ist,
Indian ring, or railway company. With tho es-
ception of the last proposition the constitutional
| legality Of which may be called into question,
| Mr. Ju1ians suggestions are all in the interest
| OF the true policy with regard to ourpuble1ands

SENATOR OGLEsBY AND HIS TROuBAD0UR.

SENATOR 0GLESBY AND HIS TR0uBAD0UR.
MIR. Frank Lumbard, who supplied the Repub
1ican State Central Committee with flats, sharps,
naturals, and other musical sinows OF war dur
ing the recent campaign, aud WAS Senator Rich
ard J. Oglesby's Special Troubadour, is about
to bring suit against tho Committee to recover
5000, which he claims to be the value Of his
musical services, as per contract. Considering
that Rubinstein gets $4,000 per month, and
has no country to save, 11r. Lumbard's claim Of
$500 for four months is modest one, especially
in view Of the fact TINT he had tho National,
State, and Municipal candidates to elect, and
the whole country, including Illinois and Chi
cago, to save. Mr. Lumbard, ne believe, does
not fix these damages from q critical stand
point. If he had, he could barely
ages which juries arc accustomed sometimes to
find. He does not urge the p1ea Of economy.
An organ grinder would hayo been cheaper and
more convenient, better traveller, less expen-
siye in food and drink, and quite as inspiring;
as most Of the organs hayo quite as many tunes
and much better ones than NIr. Lumbard's CAM
paicn repertoire. He claims the money on high
patriotic grounds, assuming that but for his
auayera and aemi-quayo1s, and demi-semi-
auayers, and the chromatics Of sold Shady
and e tThe Little Brown Jug" Chicago, Cook
County, and Illinois would have been lost to the
Administration, and the country would have
gone to ruin. We believe that, in this case,
Lumbard should have his money, and if Senator
Oglesby, unlike Republics, is truly grateful, he
will pay for his musicians notes in notes Of the
realm, and pay it prestissinso, and thus resolve
Mr. Lumbard from the minor to the major key
at once, and send him of On a scherzo Of ecstacy,
The Troubadours have always been faithful to
their masters. When Richard pined in q prison
in the Holy Land, faithful Blondel travelled the
world over with his lutte, singing the Kings fa-
7orlte song in every village and valley, and upon
every hill and mountain top, until he found hia
royal master. Was the master ungratefu1
to the Troubadour? Richard 1avished
honors and fortune upon Blondel What is
Senator Og1esby doing for his Ttoubadonr, who
travelled the whole State over from Bridgeport
even into Egypt, with his valise and his upper
register, warbling his bird-ike melodies and
chanting pmans Of viotorv2 Those who dance

THE DIAMOND SW1NDLE.

The official report Of Clarence King, United
States Geologist, to the Board Of Directors Of
the San Francisco and New York Mining and
Commercial Company, and the supplementary
report OF the mining expert, Henry Janin, to the
Trustees of the Same Company, fully and COM
p1etely disclose the details of the great diamond
swind1e in California. The developments made
by l1r. King, by Janin, who was completely
duped, and by the confessions of one or two Of
those prominently engaged in the swindle, show
it to have been one Of the most ingenious and
bare-faced frauds Of modern times, and, if not as
successful, fully as ski1fully arranged, as the
recent colossal bank swindle perpetrated by
spitzeder, the Bayarian actress, The first
discovery, as alleged, WAS made by Philip
Arnold, who, shortly after, in company with one
Slack, appeared in San Francisco, with several
rough diamonds, which they alleged they
had found in o certain locality
which was literally blazing with precious gems.
They offered to guide any one to the spot, and
gradually interested the moneyed men Of San
Francisco in the project. Among others, William
c. Ralston, the Cashier Of the Bank of Caifor-
mia and heavy capitalist, WAS induced to send
Janin, who is q mining engineer and expert, to
investigate the discovery. Janin prospected the
diamond fields under the supervision Of Arnold,
and found about $4,000 worth OF. gems, and,
upon this prospect, he returned to San Francis
CO and made T. glowingly favorable report. The
excitement became intense, and, upon the
strength Of it, Arnold made contract with Mr-
Harpending, Of San francisco, for the sale Of the
discovery, and Harpending transferred an in
terest in that contract to William II. Lent Of
the same city. The first payment to Arnold was
100000. The property then underwent various
subdivisions, the bulk Of it being held
by Lent, who paid about S35o,00o.
Other interests we're sold out to various parties,
so that the result was, that Arnold and his con-
federates netted about $3.50, 600. The purchasers
at once organized the San Francisco and New
York Mining and Commercial Company, with 3
capital stock Of 81, ,00o,0 600. The leading stock
holders we're ". G. Ralston, Milton s. Latham,
Albert Ganse, Lewis S1oss, George D. Roberts,
Maurice Dore, William II. Lent, A. Harpending,
and D. D. Cotton, Of San Francisco; and S. L.
M. Barlow and George B. Mcclellan, OF Ne"
York. The stock, however, was not put upon
the market. It was taken at the rate OF S4o per
share, with the direct understanding that the
stock should remain in the hands OF ". U. hal-
Bton. and should not be sold or put upon the
market until the value of the property should be
fully ascertained.
In order to make ASSURANCE doubly sure, Mr.
Clarence King, United States Geologist, was re-
uuested to make 8 careful survey OF the Arizona
diamond fields. He has done so, and made his
report, which has just been published, showing
that the whole affair, from first to last, has been
huge and ingenious swindle. His susp1clonf
we're aroused in the second days work, and he
at once made an exhaustive series Of prospects

In the preparation of his answer to file in tho
suit brought by the Erie Railroad, Mr 5ay
Gould summoned Mr. Barlow, the counsel and
one of the Directors Of the road. E[r. Gonld's
purpose vas to prove that in snrrendering tho
control of the road with reBigning tho Preai-
dency, he had received . complete release, which
would bo bar to the present suit brought
against him. Mr.. Bar1ow's answers have scarcely
justified Mr. Gould's expectations. He recounts
in detail the conference with Mr. Gould at the
time of the 1atter's surrender, so far rs he can
romemberi it. The final interview vas between Alr.
Gould and General sicklcs, the latter represent
ing Mr, Barlow. General sicllos came into the
Board Of Directors and announced that Afr. Gould
had decided to surrender Internationally, except
making demand for the privilege of reslgning
instead Of being removed, and tho settlement OF
some matters OF cost with former attorneys.
Mr. Barlow does not recall any direct release,
written or verbal, such as Mr.. Gould claims, and
says that, in all their conversations concerning
such re1ease, he Cilr. Barlow) had insisted that
it could only be granted after satisfactory exam
nation Of the books. Such examination Was
only concluded just prior to the bringing OF tho
suit. An interesting feature of Mr. BarloV's
Testimony is that which removes any impression
that the suit was brought as an opposing ele-
ment of the Northwestern corner, in which Mr.
Gould was so largely interested, stating that
the suit bad been fully determined upon two
weoks before the Inauguration Of the speculative
movement in Northwestern.

Tho Coroner held m inquest, yesterday: at the

body Of Frank Brandt, the lad who was shot OF
shot himself, On the Beers farm Saturday after
mon. An account Of the occurrence WAS given
in Yesterdays TRIBUNE. The testimony WAS
very conflicting, to Witnesses telling ore story,
another IN entirely different one, and the re-
meining witness agreeing with neither OF the
others Jenny Beers, years old, said she EaW
four boys near her fathers house, the largest
ono having gun, which lie pointed at one OF the
others, and discharged it. The lad at which the
weanon zyas aimed fell over, and lns companions
ran away Emily AlcNu1ty saw the gun pointed bnt
did not witness the shooting. She was not able
to recognize any Of the boys. Frank Herman,
aged Il. who WAS present when Brandt was
Killed testified that Fred Goppelschrader shot at
q rabbit in its hole, and that but one barrel OF
the gun would 60 of. Fred then snapped seT.
cra1 caps, all the while pointing the gun at
Brandt who told him not to do SO, and lodged
so as to get out of line. The weapon suddenly
discharged, and the shot struck Brandt in the
head and killed him. The boys had had no
quarrel. Fred Was sworn and asserted that
Brandt snapped tue caps, and put his mouth to
the barrel and commenced blowing in it. When
he took his mouth away, the gun went off, aud
he was killed. The jury returned 8 verdict of
accidental death, and the three lads, Fred and
Ferdinand Goppelachrader, and Frank Herman,
who we're In custody, were released.
