party is that the popular discomfort
with the Republican party, which
was of such service in the last
campaign, will not be available in
the future. AS members Of the
minority party the Republicans
have very generally dropped all
the differences which mark them
while in the majority, and the re-
newed success of the party is the
object for which they oil aim. The
only way in which break can be
made in their ranks is by such leg
islation on part Of the Democracy
derever they have the power as
will convince thoughtful Republic
cans that the country will be the
gamer with the Democratic party
and Democratic principals COM
pletely in the ascendency. The
administration, by persisting in a
policy of hate, may, however drive
the moderate men into revolt or
again cause them to feel in no way
displeased at Republican defeats
and by their apathy to occasion
them.-Dsi. Free Press.

Homestead Lands.

A telegram lately received from
Senator Ferry, by Geo. J. Belts,
Indian Agent, at Lansing, convey
ed the intelligence that what has
been known as the Indian land
restoration bill had passed both
Houses of Congress, and only
awaited the signature Of tho Pres
dent. The bill refers to the restor-
alton to market of lands set apart
in 1854 for the Ottawas and Chip
pewas of Michigan, and yet undis-
posed OF. The Lansing Republican
gives the following explanation OF
the new bill.
The treaties reserving these
lands provided that each of the
Indians then 81 years of age should
receive 80 acres of land, and the
balance not thus disposed OF
should be restored to market. On
June 10, 1873, a bill passed Con-
gress authorizing the Secretary OF
the Interior to restore these lands
to market, as it was supposed that
the Indians had received all the
patents due them under the pro-
vision of this treaty. Patents were
sent to Mr.. Belts for the Indians.
and in delivering them 1t was found
that about 800 patents were want
ing. Bnt inasmuch as this bill of
June 10, 1872, had been passed.
requiring the Secretary of the in
terror to restore to market the bal
ance OF the lands then undisposed
OF, 1t was out Of his power to issue
sny more patents to the Indians
unless this bill should be SO amend
cd so as to authorize TO do IL. The
bill for such amendment was intro
duced into Congress the following
winter, but in consequence Of tho
press oil business II failed to pass.
and the last year IL met The Same
leto. ----
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1875-03-17

This winter Mr.. Belts went tc
Washington, and succcededin get
ting it passed. A bitter, active op,
position was made by land specula-
tors on account of a certain clause
| in the bill which provides that the
| land shall be held open one year
from the passage of this bill, for
homestead entry. The design OF
this clause was to give poor whites
and Indians living in the vicinity
an opportunity to secure home
steads. There are also a large num-
Der Of Union soldiers in and about
these reservations, who are anxious
to obtain homesteads, and these
lands are more valuable than the
ordinary public lands.
One clause Of the new bill pro-
vidcs that "the remainder Of said
lands undisposed of and not valua-
BILE mainly for pine timber shall be
subject to entry under the home
stead laws of one year from the
passage of this act, and thereafter
the lands remaining undisposed of
shall be restored to market )" anoth-
er clause, that "all actual permanent
bona .fde settlers on any of the
lands reserved under the treaties
shall be entitled to ENTRY not ex-
ceeding 100 acres of land, either
under the homestead laws, or pay
at tho minimum price of making
proof Of his or her settlement and
continued residence to the expira-
lion of 90 days from the passage of
his act"
There is now offered to poor
people in that section of the State,
, better opportunity to get homes
han they will ever probably enjoy .
again. The land comprised four
ownships in Mason and Oceana
COUNTIES, two townships in Cheboy-
ran, ten or twelve in Emmett, and
he remainder in Lee,anaw, Grand
Traverse, and Mackinaw. There
vill probably be about 100000
cres of vacant lands open to home
tead settlers under the United
states law Courier.

Unless the Republicans of Mich
igan bestir themselves to reorgan-
ize their party so as to gain back
all the elements that have been
driven off by unwise management
and intolerance in the past, and
secure a newspaper organ that shall
command tho respect and conf
dance of the public, they may hang
up the fiddle after the next gene
raj election. With a divided and
hostile newspaper representation
the party can have no fixed princi-
Piles and can maintain no efficient
organization. What it wants and
what is essential to its future sue
cess is the establishment OF n first
class organ, something far superior
in ability, circulation and financial
strength to either the Post or the
Tribune. This is the real key to
the situation, but we presume
the infatuated party leaders are
too blind to perceive it.-Det. Noes.

Appropriations.

The appropriations made by the
regular annual appropriation bills
for the ensuing fiscal year amount
in the Aggregate to 6,30i,2 6I.33,
against 177,01s,719.43 for the cur
rent year. The reduction, it will
be seen, is s1,7l4,314. There is
an increase in the amounts called
for by the Postoffice Appropriation
Pension, Army, River and Harbor,
and Military Academy bills, and
reductions in the amounts appro.
priated by the Sundry Civil, Legis-
lative, Executive and Judicial, In
dian, Consular and Diplomatic,
Notifications and Deficiency bills
The most marked reduction Is
made in the Consular and Diplo-
matte Appropriation bill, the sum
provided for the ensuing year be.
ing s1,374,9s5, against s3,4O5, 4Oi
for the current year. Excluding
the amount appropriated for de.
ficiencies, and the sum necessary
to be taken from the treasury tc
make up the postal deficiency the
amount authorized to be expended
during the ensuing year for miscel-
laneous purposes is nearly s55, OOO,-
600. This, judging from the expen-
ditures which proved ample before
Grant came into the Presidential
chair, is q sum which could have
been materially reduced without
doing any material injury, and
there is no doubt that II Congress

propristions as a whole could have
been largely reduced. Notwi;h-
standing this the people are per-
haps, to be congratulated that the
appropriations present no larger an
aggregate. There will however, be
still greater reason for congratula-
tons if, when Congress meets in
December, the administration is
not clamoring for a large sum of
money to make up deficiencies.

After legal battle nj three years
II has been decided that Carl Vogt,
accused Of the murder of Chevalier
de Bianco in Belgium in 1877 |, must
be extradited. He has been claim
ed by the German Empire and by
Belgium. The fact that there was
no treaty with the latter power
nearly brought about his release ;
but treaty has been made with
special reference to tho case OF
Vogt, and the alleged murderer is
TO be given over to justice. During
all the three years this man has
been shut up in prison, and en-
gagged in contesting the attempt to
take him back to the scene of his
alleged crime, the woman who ac-
companied him in his fight has
stood at his prison door with un-

The Albany Argus Of Monday
presents n table showing the re-
suits on supervisors at the town
meetings in forty counties in New
York State, and comparing them
with those in the same counties at
the elections in 1874, 1873 and
1872. The Democrats and Liber-
ais have this year chosen Al su-
pervisors and the Republicans 397,
showing q Democratic majority of
II. In 1874, 426 Democrats and
Liberals and Ala Republicans were
elected, Democratic majority of
IL. The Democratic gain over
last year is therefore 50. In 1878
the Democrats choose $50 super
visors and the Republicans 455, a
Republican majority Of IS. In
1872, 2oS Democrats and 543 Re-
publicans were elected, a Republi-
can majority of 245. The Democrat
ic gain since 1872 is 292, and it has
not been suspended in any year.
While town elections do not per-
haps possess a great deal of sig
nifcance, there can be 10 question
that when the changes are con-
stantly in one direction they mean
something.

The Memphis Appeal says of the
organic statement that the South
ern States ore only waiting their
opportunity to plunge the country
into another civil war: "If we
could reach tho ears Of Northern
Republicans we would desire to
brand it as falsehood, as calum-
NOUS as it is absurd. We hazard
nothing in saying that history gives
no account Of any people who ever
yielded such prompt and perfect
obedience to the will Of their con-
querors as we of the South. We
believe that it would be q moral
physical impossibility to goad us
into resistance to the national will.
We believe that United States
corporal can arrest without resist
ance the most popular man in any
country in the south and carry him,
without assistance and without
molestation, prisoner to Washing
ton upon any charge however
frivolous or however illegal. Nor
does this spirit of submission APP
ply alone to obedience to armed
authority. 1t extends as well to
an acqniescence by our people

settled policy of the government

The Lessons Of New Hamp-
shire.

There are some facts brought
/ sgt by the New Hamspshire cleo
, ton which are worthy of notice.
One of them-a very cheering and
encouragin,- one TO the Democracy,
is that the Democ; ''tic party, if the
result in New Hampsml.? is fair
criterion, has to day a larger and
more united following than it has
had at any previous time in its
history. We do not mean TO say
that the number of men calling
themselves Democrats bears as
great q proportion TO tho whole
number now as it did in tho palmy
days of the Democracy; but, nu-
merically speaking, tho party is
stronger than it ever was. There
is no retrograding; its ranks are
filling up; it is compact and Wig
orous. Republicans have complain
ed loudly of Democratic legislation
in New Hampshire, asserting that
it was marked by uncalled for dis
plays of partisanship. The result
shows that whatever dissatisfac-
ton there may he is confined to
Republicans, being shared to no
extent Ivy Democrats.
Another and no less important
fact, for Democratic consideration.
is that the feeling of Indifference
of Republicans to the defeat of
their party has almost wholly dis
appeared. 1t was this feeling more
than any positive accessions to the
Democratic ranks-though the Dem
ocratic party last year was active
ly assisted by many vino had form
erly opposed (which produced
the great political revolution OF
1874. 1t is clear that the Repub-
licans Of New Hampshire, and it is
safe to say Of the whole country.
have come to the conclusion that
no further beniflts are to be de-
rived by allowing elections to 90
by default. The CONTROL of the
House of Representatives of the
Forty-fourth Congress is in Dem
ocratic hands, and knowledge OF
this has Quilted the fears of MANY
Republicans who had taken alarm
at the ascendency Of extremists in
their own party, and who had be-
come dissatisfied with and disheart-
ened by the palpable misgovern-
ment to which the country has been
subjected. In their opinion the
elections Of last fall gave the Dem
ocratic party all the encouragement
needed. 1t had, as q result OF
those elections, been taken on trial
aud they believed that they could
not afford to give it any indorse-
ment in advance of its work. Be-
sides, 1t was natural for moderate
Republicans TO reason that DEM
ocratic defeat would have a salutarv
effect upon the Democracy, in pre-
venting 1t from running into any
extremes, and for them to act ac-
cordingly. There is no doubt.
also, that the Republicans in New
Hampshire felt that they had been
overreached by the Democracy in
the State, and that this brought
many voters to the polls who would
otherwise have remained at home.
The lesson which the very foil
Republican vote in New Hamp-
ebire sbould fcnch Tho Dcrc.-ss.

The Cincinnati Gazette is not en-
tirely reconstructed, although it
did have considerable to say of the
pheasant and familiar ring of the
news from New Hampshire before
IL learned that the "ring" was in
the Republican nose. Speaking OF
the report that Chandler is to sue
coed Jewel in the Postohice De-
partment it says: eve don't be-
lieve it. The President has a good
deal more sense than. such an
appointment would indicate. If
any balm is applied to the recent
wounds of the ex-senator it will
be found in some other place than
. Cabinet Office. Perhaps he is
going to be sent to England to pull
the tail Of the royal British lion.'
