The complete list Of American race
horses that won prizes OF one hundred
dollars or over in the season OF 1875,
which was published in the New York
Herald Of Thursday last contains much
information Of great interest TO the lovers
Of the turf. We learn from the figures
that there were two hundred and seventy
three winning horses, excluding from the
list all OF impure blood or unknown pedi-
gree. The aggregate OF their winnings
was S372, ,5SS, which gives an average to
each horse of Sl,364 and fraction. OF
course, the highest winners are not always
the fastest horses, Us the nature Of the
field determines the question Of profit,
and the best speed does not always have
the heaviest purse to contend iOr. But
it Is worth noticing the eleven highest
winners Of the season just closed. Mr..

George MofTert, George Hall and John

braces n review Of all The outrages com.
mitted in Owen county in the last several
years by the Kuklnk. Judge EmmOns
severely crilicites and condemns the do.
ings Of these desperadOes, and there seems
no avenue open through which verdict
can be avoided. lie refers in very severe
terms to the lawlesaness that existed in
some sections criiCi2ing the county
attorneys and magistrates, and recon-.
mendng that measures lie taken and al.
ways ready to suppress lawlcssness and
conspiracy which he considers most dis
graceful Of all crimes Ngninst the govern.
ment. III conclusion he charges that il
the Jury shall find that SmoOt Oman,
Hall and Moilert had q common purpose
In their acts they were guilty Of con.
spirncy, and should be found guilty. II
they had no common purpose in their
deeds they should be acquitted. The
trial has been in progress over three
weeks, and the present parties being the
worst and last Of the desperadoes who
tlisgraccd their country by committing
numerous Ku.klux acts Of robbery and

OUR TIMBER LANDS.
Commissioner Burdet, of the Land
Office, will in his forthcoming report
recommend that all the timber
lands owned by the Government be ap-
praised and thrown open to purchase at
not less than their appraised value. lie
Is Of the opinion that unless they are
thus placed under private guardianship
the fine forests Of The country will soon
be wastefully exhausted by lumber COM
panies and speCulatOrs, who are now
stripping the land Of its timber under
cover Of the "Dunning" pre,emp-
ton entries, or without any pretense
Of compliance with the law, while
the Government derives no rev.
pnue from its property and the
country sustains almost an irreparabe
damage from the sweeping denudations
Of large areas Of its water sheds. lie will
also condemn the practice Of extending
The System Of subdivision surveys over
The immense bodies Of worthless land west
Of the tooth meridian, and suggests that
only such tracts be minutcly surveyed that
have any attractions for settlers lie will
also recommend that provisions be made
for connecting the land office surveys
with the important points established by
Ihe geological surveys Of the Territories,
anal that monuments at section corners,
ETC, be constructed in much more last
Ing manner. The recommendation Of his
predecessor that the presumption laws
should bc abolished and the homestead
,ystcm made the only method Of acquir-
Ing the title Of agricultural lands is re.
DGated by Commissioner Burdet, and
urged upon the attention of
Congress.
