Our Public Lands.

Every mar in the United States who
is a citizen of age, is entitled to 16u
acres of public lands, free Of cost, pro-
vided he fulflls the requirements Of ac-
tual residence upon the quarter section
taken up by him. Everybody knows
this, or should. These lands are stu
ated mostly in the west-there being
still a limited quantity subject to free
entry in Iowa, and large tracts in Ne
braska, Kansas, Wyoming, Dakota,
Colorado, etc., etc.
"But will these lands never give
out?" asks some one. Will they? Have
you new sung that song:
Come along, come along.
Make no delay,
Come from every nation,
Come from every way;
Our lands they are broad enough,
Suffer no alarm,
For Uncle Sam is rich enough
To give us all a farm.
This is not call poetry" Uncle Sam
is "rich enough to give us all a farm."
Looking through the report Of the Sec
rotary of interior for the fiscal year just
passed, We find that during the year, by
settlement and presumption (pre-emp-
ton requires S1.25 per acre), the num-
Der of acres disposed Of was 1924, 1926;
that during the year the new surveys Of
land brought into the arena, for settle
ment or presumption, q, 300, 5174 acres;
and that there were still left unsurveyed
at least 1,132, 665, 214. so acres, or in all
1854, 46s, 7914 acres open for settlement.
Resources inexhaustible, riches meal
culable!

The Chicago Times; which, less than
o year ago, was loud in de~nunciations
Of what it termed the Black Hills gold
fraud, after sending trusted representa-
tives to the new Ell Dorado, nov pub
fishes such things as this: "History
repeats itself. Naturein all herprocesses
evolves only circles. Human life IN
the Individual, in the race, and in the
succession Of generations, repeats the
historic major and minor rounds. The
pursuits and ambitions of men still
follow the ancient wars, and the old
story Of the Golden Fleece, Of Jason
and his Argonauts, is revived with
better or similar fortune how often
since '49, among the glittering treasure
rocks and sands of the mountain regions
Of our American great west, by the
adventurous navigators of the prairie
schooner OF this new Ell Dorado,
the Black Hills, the golden glow and
glory, If it shines splendidly afar, is
NOT A FALSE sPLENDoR.
It is not destined to pale its radiance
nor to 60 out again into the darkness
and obscurity in which these fire-rav-
aged hills have so long been waiting to
yield up their accommodating gold. If
it intoxicates the active and restless
spirits of the east, Dr. kindles a new
ardor and excitement among the hard
ened and experienced miners Of the
west, it is not delirinm, the awakening
from which must be in disappointment,
disaster or death. For the Black Hills
are exceeding rich. California, Mon
tana, Nevada and Colorado have had
and still have their gold and silver
marvels. The country is familiar with
the finding of the precions metals. An
tiquity in the mining regions is soon
reached. No matter how narrated,
with what enthusiastic or gorgeous de-
scription, the stories are already old.
But let the comparison be made with
any gold discoveries with which the
world is familiar-we weigh our words
THE BLACK HILLS r EXCEEDING
RICH.
There is much gold in them, so much
as shall revive establishment, now diff
cult to arouse, for we believe the ia
miliar wonders Of other regions may be
surpassed in the development Of the
Black Hills. The old California and
Montana miners believe this to be so,
and declare it to be the obvious truth.
They are astonished in the first instance
at the plain evidences which the appa-
rent geology of the Hills presents, for
schistose rock and fine laminated mica
and talcose states of the same peculiar
geological age were before unknown to
them as surface groupings, and in the
second place, exploitation had never
before developed assures in which there
was no segregated gang, but in which
every pound Of the vein matter, in
lodes varying from 10 to 40 feet in
thickness. proved to be pay + suitable
to be run through the mills without
asserting. Exactly such are the Black
Hills lodes so far as prospected, and
many of the surface characteristics of
the Hills are precisely those of the
eleven hundred foot level in the famous
Comstock Lode"

Un,on,s,. versus Confederates.
HINTON, January 9, 1877.

HINTON, JdiiuaIs ., io'''
Editors OF the Register:
As tho legislature Is about to assemble,
and ~ the most important duty likely TO
d.volve upon it is the selection OF two
Senators to represent the state in the
C,ugress of the United States, 1t has &C.
Cured to me to make the following sug-
pe,.lon. There is in the Democratic
party of the state very la'ge sumoer
of persons who during the late war were
on the side of the Union. The number
@, these is so large that if they were to
withdraw themselves from the party 1t
would leave the party in the minority.
Now it has been suggested that la.teriy
undue prominence has been given
TO ex .Coniederates; in other words
tina proportion of Confederates
who have been placed in office
is greater than the proportion OF Conied :
crate to Union Democrats. l know that
this ought not to have any influence to
the injury Of the Democratic party IN
less it is carried too tar, but Is there not
: me danger that this will be done! l
d mt for moment suppose that there Is
any disposition on the part OF mon
Democrats to prescribe Confederate DEM
ocr.,s. the action of the u mon DINO
Gratis IN the past torbids such supPoSl-
ton; but while no such disposition exists
it cannot be expected that the Union
Democrats will submit to any proscrip-
ton of themselves by these whom they
relieved from prescription.
This matter has, however, some
thing more than State significance. A
striking illustration OF its effects
in National politics is furnished by
reference to the relative strength oil the
Democratic party in the present and
in the next House of Representatives.
The present House was early designated
AZ a confederate House" from the fact
that from all the Souther States the ma
iority of Representatives had been In the
ionfsdera,e service. This fact was used
in the North ~ very great advantage oy
the Republican party, so much so that
instead OF having q large majority, the
Democrats will have but bare msJority
in the next House.
Inssmuch as the Senatorial question
Affects this matter in respect to both
State and National politics, 1t is OF the
frat importance, and the members OF the
Isgislsture should be careful lest they
should give occasion to the Union eie-
ment in the party to find cause for some
thing more serious than mere complaint.
