JUDGE JACOBS AND THE n. P. R. R. co

OOme time ago Judge JACOBS ad-
dressed letter to the management OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad Co.,
suggesting a certain reform in a
matter in which his constituents are
largely interested, and received a
favorable reply as will be seen by
the correspondence printed below.
The resolution referred to by Presi-
dent Wright was subsequently pass
ed and has been published, in which
the Company stipulate to perform
all that was asked by our delegate,
and which will meet the approba-
ton Of every citizen of Washington
Territory:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2.
Hon. C. B. WRIGHT, PRESIDENT N.
P. r. r. Co.:
SIR:-There is much complaint
and a great deal of dissatisfaction in
my Territory at a seeming want of a
disposition on the part of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Co. to recog-
Dize the prior and first rights of
those settlers who took up claims
under the Homestead and preemp-
ton laws, within the limits of the
Railroad grant, after the filing of
the map of the line in the office of
the Commissioner Of the Public
Lands, but before the actual notice
thereof had been received at the To-
cal land Offices An early recogni-
ton of the paramount rights of
these settlers by the Company you
represent, l am satisfied, would be
prOmotive of the best interests of the
Company.
There are also few persons, who
in good faith, made cash entries of
land within the limits of the grant,
during said time. Their money has
been within the Golfers of the Gov
ernment from three to five years,
while their certificates of entry are
held for cancellation. As the guam
thy of land so enclosed is but small
and the company can take other land
in lieu thereref, I see no reason
why the Company should not do so.
By SO doing the new organization
would establish reputation for JUS
tice and fair dealing honorable to
themselves and satisfactory to the
public. Yours Respectfully,
o. JACOBS, NJ. c., W. T.
New YORK, FEB. 8, 1876.
Hon. ORANGE JACOBS, DELEGATE IN
CONGRESS PROM WASHINGTON TER
RIToRY.
Dem. Sir:
1 have your letter of
the I'd inst, in which you present
the claims of many of your constitu-
ents who have settled on lands with
in this Company's grant, in Wash
ington Territory. They are Justly
entitled to consideration, and shall |
receive it.
Our Board of Directors will meet
on the 10th day of February, when
l will lay your letter before them,
ard have action taken on it. This
will probably be in the form of
resolution to relinquish in favor of
actual settlers, any lands of this
Company not patented, now occu-
pied by and in the actual possession
of bona .tfda settlers, whose entries
or filings under the Homestead or
Preemption laws were allowed be-
tween the time when the Company's
right attached, and the notice of
withdrawal was received at the Dis
trict Land Office.
I will send you certified copy of
this resolution when it is passed.
I am most respectfully yours,
G. B. WRIGHT.

proved such success that it has won fa- vor on it's meritsl It is conceded that in the "bull-dozed" parishes the whites made every effort to conciliate the negro vote. The Democratic committee say they saw numbers of negroes who had worked, spoken, and voted with the Democracy. Mir. White comedies that there was large accession of the negro vote to the Democracy, outside of any in- timidation. The Republicans object that it was mainly confined to the alleged bull dozed parishes, and that it's magnitude naturally arouses suspicion of it's genu- ineness. Ii strikes us. on the other hand, that the change would have to be large if there was any change at all. There is no denying the fact that in Louisiana the Democratic negro has been as much an ob iect of hatred by the men and women of his color as the Republican white. Un- less therefore the Democrats could make a large break in the negro ranks they could make none at all
 Our own belief is that the great change in the negro vote was effected mainly in these three ways: in part by legitimate influence; in part by what we term in- direct intimidation (the negro inference that it is dangerous to vote from the fact that it is dangerous tc steaD; and in part by direct violence and intimidation. It cannot be right that the Kellogg govern ment should profit by its own wrong, and throw ont votes actually cast, for ''ln- direct" intimidation; nor have we yet seen any such proof of direct in- timidat1on as would warrant the throwing out of the entire Tilden major ity of 1000 and declaring the Hayes cleo tors chosen.

Those towns we see by the 'Enqui- of the 'hard times," and, Bulls Bridge we hope is not far behind.
