4 bin has been introduced into the
senate, bv Senator Pomeroy, OF Kan
.as, to enable honorablv discharged
soldiers and sailors, their widows and
orphan children, to acquire homesteads
on the public lands. This bill provides
that every private soldier aud officer
and every seaman, marine and oIhcer,
who has served in the army or navy OF
The United States or IN the marine
corps during the rebellion for ninety
DAYS. and who was honorabiy discharged
and has remained loyal to the govern
ment, shall, on complying with the pro,
visions of this act, entitled AN act
TO secure homesteads to actual settlers
on the public domain,s etc, be entitled
20 one hundred aud sixty acres of the
public lands The bin has been re-
farred to the committee on Public
Lands. We are not vet aware what
the conditions Of this bill are, if any,
with reference to occupancy, With
many who do not desire TO move to the
frontier and occupy homestead, that
Is the important point. We jIdge,
however, from the resorts, that the
homestead principle Of actual settle
ment is not applied. 1t has been the
practice of the government from the
revolutionary war to that of the rebel.
lion TO donate lands to her honorably
DISCHARGED soldiers, and. in this case,
the donation will. sooner or later, be
made. And, while many soldiers will
doubtless dispose Of their lands to spec.
uators for song. very large MAORI.
ty of them viii not do so. The fact
that some will not be likely to rea lize
the full value Of the government bounty
in no wise d"tractS trom the force OF
the reasons which are urged in favor OF
.he government treating the soldiers
who fought IN the war OF the rebelllo
with the same measure Of Justice which
has marked its actioh toward those Of
previous wars. We deem it wise that
this matter Of donating public lands to
soldiers has been DELAYED until they
have become incorporated into the va
rious trades and professions and have
overcome the tendencies Of army life
Nevertheless, while they have no rea
son to complain and do not complain OF
the treatment they have received from
the government or the people, there Is
= universal sentiment entertained 10y
them that when the proper time arrives
thew are Justly entitled to the proposed
donation ofpubIic lands. Frequent ac
acknowledgement Of the debt Of gratitude
we owe our soldiers is alike honorable
to the public sentiment which prom pts
it and to them; but with many of them
the quarter section Of land would add
materially to the value of these public
recogntions Of the services they have
rendered the country.-Janesy,lle Ga

Some time since, DR.. J. W. Hovt,

rendered his resignation, to take effect
on the first of April next. Tins posi-.
ton was filled by the election of Hon.

and his resignation will be matter Of
deep regret to his many friends in the

that it will, in future, be more useful

observation-disclosures to our Efficient
Mayor, Decoration Day was not allowed
to pass entirely unceletr,ted in Mineral
Point. On Thursday morning Mr.
Cooper had some circulars put out call
ing meeting at the City Hall at 2
0 clock In response to which im>
promptu call the people assembled and
with the city schools, rnarshsled by the
teachers, were formed in procession,
besring flowers with which to decorate
the tombs Of our sleeping heroes
Capt Thomas Pricstly acted as Marshal
OF the day; two instruments and drum
formed the band. The procession moved
up High street first, to the Catholic Gem
etry, where appropriate pieces were sung,
a prayer offered by Rev. Mr.. Springer,
and short address by Rev Mr.. Evans,
when the procession marched round the
graves depositing as they passed their
offerings of flowers. Thence the limo Of
march was taken up to the City Cemetry.
Arriving there, the chorus, led by Mr..
;. 1. Osborne, sang some stirring strains
while the ceremony of decorating the
grave. was being performed. An ad-
dress by Rev. MIR Springer, and prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Evans followed, when a vote
of thanks was given to Mr.. Cooper for
his energy in getting up the ce!ebration,
ana to Mr. Osborne for his musical SER
vices. A fine toned organ, transported by
carriage was kindly loaned by Mr.. Cart,
wright, agent for musical instruments,
which contributed much toward making
the celebration success.
Though the irnpromptu. ceremonies
were not what all could wish, they were
pleasing, and suHicien. to save us from
the disgrace of letting the hallowed day
pass unrecognized In future we hope

has been a week fraught with accidents
in thi. community. On Friday, MS we
learn, man named VIM Rule, of Linz
den, was coming to the city with team
Of Young horses, and had got as far as
Jas Spensey's, when in some way he lost
control Of his horses, and was severely
injured by being kicked. We have been
unable 10 learn any particulars but hope
the report that Mr.. Rules injurie. are
likely to prove fatal is exaggerated.
Tuesday evening our people were
shocked to learn that ono Of company
OF emisrants, just stopped for the night
near Hon. John Strachan's residence,
han been accidentally shot, SO that am
putation Of the left arm was necessary.
The accident happened by the discharge
of a gun which lay in one of the wagons,
from which the unfortunate man was
taking n bucket Being but a few feet
from the mu.zle Of the gun, The entire
charge entered his arm about midway
between the shoulder and elbow, shat
tsring four to six inches of the bone to
fragments. DR. Cronin was called, the
man taken into Mr.. Gcibs house, and
the arm ampntated. The company, con
si,ting OF six or eight men and bows
with three WAGONS, is from Ripon, in
this State, bound westward to look at
the country with view TO settlement
The wounded mans name is Lowell
Felker He has wife nc Ripon, TO
whom the Intelligence will be severe

upon his labor for support for himself
and family; WAS soldier during the

he is now drawing a small pension.

our worthy Mayor Cooper, has takcn the
unfortunate man into his own house,
where he will receive every comfort ond

to bis home at Ripon.
