Senator Morton has gwen to tho
Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican an outline OF the plan
which will be suggested BY his commit
tee on the subject Of changing tho mode
of electing President and Vice-Prcsident.
He said that the smaller Safes would un-
doubleday defeat any constitutional
amendment providin: for such election,
BY popular vote, pure and simple. As
the matter stands under tho electoral
system, one mans vote in Nevada, for
instance, counts for nine in New York /;
and in the case Of throwing the election
into the House OF Representatives, when
each State has ono vote, one man in Nc
vada counts for one hundred and twenty
in New York. Te overcome the objec-
lions Of the smaller States, and 1t the
same time more squitably recognize the
Importance Of the larger ones, tho CON-
mittee will propose to appOrtion the
States into districts according to the
number OF their Senators and Reprcsen-
iives, and each district is TO count one
Presidential vote for the candidate who
may receive the popular majority or
plurality in it. Tho senator expressed
his belief that this plan would meet the
appreciation of all the States, as being
in tho nature Of the most equitable ad
justmcnt Of tho present inequalitie.
possible.

fnI VAR ASPECT.

Tho war aspect is unchanged. The
navy is now on good footing. The Off.
ces for enlistment have been Gre wded
with men who wish to fight on the great
waters. The whirlwind for war has passed
over, and people are now using their req
son. There is very little division upon the
subject and an almost unanimous scnti-
ment that the action of our government
in this matter shesld be tempered with
the greatest moderation aud be indu-
snced to do that justice which IS expected
. great nation like ours, and which will
receive tho commcnda;ion of postcrity.
The Presidents views upon tho subject,
as expressed in his message, arc in full
accord with those Of the sobcr-thinking
people Of America, and probably Con-
gress will fully endorse them and act up
on his suggestion. As near as can be
asccrtained tho CASTELAR, government
will make the rcparation demanded, if il
is IN its power.

FOREST AND RAIN,

That forests "rnako raj" is undcniablc.
In countries liable to drouth, where
trees have boon planted by man, tne
rainfall has been increased wonderfully.
Russia has made many sandy and bay
rem acre fertile by planting trees. Some
years ago the upper portion Of Egypt
had only FIVE or six rainy days in the
year. The river Nile in its overflow
was accounted sure; otherwise the land
was subject to be parched and dried by
the no: winds from the deserts. The
Pasha planted millions of trees, and
now the annual average is fsrty-six days
of rain. Apply the experiences OF the
Old World to the New, and many acres
of wheat is considered untillable land
may be made to "bud and blossom as the
rose" Thedestruction Of timber through
out the country each year is fright
full, and to save the moisture Of the soil
and the flow of our streams, young trees
must be planted. Some Of our farmers
regard tho question seriously and are
endeavoring to do their duty in this mat
ter. We hope others will initiate.

Form the annual report Of the COM
missioner of the general land Office We
CLEAN the following interesting informa.
ton for the benefit Of our readers:
The demand for lands by actual set
tiers under tho homestead law con-
tinucs very large. During tho fiscal
year ending June 80, 1873, 81 ,246 pre-
liminary entries werc made, covering an
area of 8, 76o, S41 70 sores. The number
Of final entries was 1884, being an in
crease in final entries Of 4, lis over the
preceding fiscal year. This Law, with
some slight amendments, would meet
all the requirements Of actual settlers,
and again respectfully renew my re.
commentator for complete conseli-
dation Of all statutes respecting settle
ment rights into general homestead
law. A bill for that purpose met with
favorable action from both houses of
the last congress, but owing to a
slight amendment as to the time when it
should take effect by the house on the
last day Of the session, in which the
senate had not time 10 concur, it failed
to become law. The selections ccrtfi-
sd for common schools during the year
ending June 80, 1873, amounted to 49,
909.17 acres, and fer seminarics 800
acres. The selections certified for az
ricultural collsdsc amounted to 1876
81. The locations of agricultural col
lego scrip by assignees Of the state to
which the Same was issued reported dur
ing the year cover an area Of 653, 446.-
II. Since my last annual report agri-
college scrip representing 240,-
600 acres has bscA issued to the states
Of Arkansas and Florida This exhausts
the amount which congress authorised.
