Land Grants m Arizona.

Spanish land grants in California have been and still remain an obstacle to our rapid growth and prosperity. They curse the Territories of Arizona and New Mex ico, and injurionsly affect southern Colo rado In the Territory of New Mexico the Surveyor General reports, after twenty years labor, that 120 claims or grants have been adjusted, but that over ,000 still re- main. In Arizona the want of funds for the hire of clerks, surveyors and other necessary expenses, renders it impossible to take up any of the claims which have been floating in nebulous state until re- gently. Now there is great activity mani fest in the purchase of and location over the best and most available valleys ill southern Arizona of doubtful grants. The same old hands at the business as have cursed California are at work in that re- markable region. Its prosperity will be retarded unless Congress shall be forced into takiHg some decided action. The Commissioner of the General Land Office says, in his last report on this subject, that the settler dares not settle and inn prove land lest it be subsequently found to be within the limits of some uncon- firmed and unsurveyed grant; and the United States by such delay not only loses the sale of its land, but, judging from past experience with private land claims in other localities, the development of the resources of that country will create ad- ditional incentives for the manufacture of fraudulent title papers, with the vIew of securing public land herewith. Each years delay, with the consequent death of living witnesses and loss or destruction of ancient records relating to lands adds to the probabilities that such forged and otherwise fraudulent title papers will pass without detection the scrutiny of the officers whose duty it may become to de- termine their character"
 That is what the San Francisco Post says on this subject. and there IS much in it. It was a great mistake to ever have placed the question of private land claims in Arizona into our Surveyor Generals office; but once there, money should have
 been provided for disposing of it.

Correspondence s. F. Bulletin.
 PARIS, June 2S, 1878.
 Governor Mccormick is an active, erect, brisk stepping man. Ills entire personal appearance and address impresses one with a sense of American go-aheadi- tiveness and exactness. He walks straight up to his business, be it great or small, and when finished walks straight away from it. He looks at but one thing at a time. Some people look at half dozen things at once and do not see the half of any Of them. Other people walk up to their business and walk away again and then turn about and walk back, and so keep on wasting overmuch strength in os- cillation, which is another name for hesi- tation. The position of a Worlds Fair Chief Commissioner is trying one. Difi- culties and vexations hover about and beset it. If the Chief Commissioner here would write the history of his experience in Paris, it would be the book of the season. The Chief Commissioner was the first and last point of attack and supplieation for 919 exhibitors. The cry of each one of these exhibitors was "space," and some times boundless space" in an area of 400 X125 feet The Chief Commissioner must fill this with such class and variety of exhibit as is best calculated to illustrate the industries of the country. Otherwise half of this area might be filled with soda fountains and thousands of somebody's new stove polish or shoe blacking boxes. Comparatively worthless or trivial exhibits must be suppressed. It has been neces- sary to invite the best manufacturers to come forward and show their wares at Paris. For to make this National show, and one worthy the presence of our sol diers, sailors, and 800, paid and unpaid, but Honorary Commissioners, the confined space granted our boundless continent must not be occupied overmuch by soda fountains and stove polish. With this end in vlew, Governor Mccormick has person. ally solicited exhibits from certain Ame- rican manufacturers, notably of paper car pets, maps, axes and steel implements, woodenware and Government bank note paper, which have excited the attention and commendation of foreign experts and financiers. The list conld be much further extended.

The Edible Pine.

This small scrubby pine (Pinus Edulis) grows on the dry, rocky mountains of New Mexico, and is called by the Mexicans pinon. The seed is about the size of a kidney bean, with rich oily kernel in a thin she'll It has pleasant flavor, and sometimes oil IS expressed from it. In favorable seasons the seeds are gathered in quantities and sold by the Indians to the people of New Mexico, Arizona and the border settlements of Mexico. The seeds should be roasted before eaten, though sometimes they are consumed raw

THE WORK OF CONGRESS-.

The following is a summary of the
work done during the last session Of
Congress, as furnished by Washington
dispatches:
During the session just closed there
were introduced c, G29 bills and 2i3 joint
resolutions. About $500 bills were in
troduced in the House alone, which IS
an average Of nearly twenty to each
member. OF these bills about 800 have
been disposed Of, in addition to the reg
ular appropriation bills. The most i'm
portant ones were the act for the remon-
citation of silver; act allowing criminals
in the United States to testify in their
own behalf; act providing new form Of
government for the District Of Columbia;
Pacific Railroad funding act; act forbid
ing further retirement of legal-tender
notes. These are really all the important
public acts that Congress passed last
session. Some of the most important
bills considered are now lying on the
Speakers table, over 225 bills having
passed the Senate which have not reached
the House.
The Senate has been very industrious,
and has cleared up its calendar. The
only important bills remaining on tile
Senate calendar undisposed of are as
follows: Bill to create the Territory OF
Lincoln out of the Black Hills; bill to
amend aud revise the patent laws; Texas
Pacific Railroad bill; japanese indemnity
fund bill; bill regulating compensation
for mail transportation, and classification
of mail matter; bill to regulate the count
ing Of the electoral votes
There are more than i've hundred bills
on the House calendar which were left
undisposed Of. The most important Of
these are the bill to restore to the pen
sion rolls those whose names were strick-
en- off for disloyalty; bill to regulate the
compensation OF postmasters, and pre-
vent illegal traffic in postage stamps; bill
to transfer the Indian Bureau to the War
Department; several postal savings bills;
bill to retire circulation of national banks
to exchange their reserve for bonds; Tex
as Pacific bill; probrate bill for the i'm
provcment of the Mississippi River;
Geneva award bill.
The only important bills which have
passed the House, but which were not
acted upon by the Senate, reached that
body on the day Of adjournment. These
are: The bill to increase the pay of letter
carriers and the bill establishing post
routes and bureau Of pensions. Three
or four contested election cases We're left
undisposed OF by the House.
OF the bills which passed both houses
all were signed but two, which were
vetoed-the silver bill, and one regulating
the courts in Mississippi. No bill failed
to become a law by reason of failure of
the President to attach his signature in
side Of the ten days provided by the
Constitution.

,SI'.i Y ItI{ERE 70 L Al, +.

The state Gazette, of Green Bay, gives
some wholesome advice to the farmers of
Brown county, which is equally appli-
cable in this locality. 1t says:
While a majority Of the citizens of this
county are enueavor1ng TO promote home
interests and induce settlers to come
here, there are a few who think they can
make more money perhaps by talking of
the advantages of Minnesota, Nebraska
Or other places that really have no better
inducements to offer than can be shown
here among us, and we firmly believe
those who sell improvements here, to
move hundreds of miles farther North or
West as the interest Of some land agent
or speculator may dictate, are doing q
foolish thing; one that they will probably
regret. This IS becoming a settled and
improved country, haying many adyan-
tages that can only be brought about by
time; but our active, smooth tongued
Spectator, would have those who, by
some years of toll and industry have be-
gun to reap the benefits Of their labor
sell ont their improvements and move to
a region that has nothing to boast of
except a railroad that has lands to sell,
and expects to divide the purchase mon
ey received from the dupes with the
atfable gentlemen who bring buyer and
seller together. Tuesday was a sad day,
we believe, for many families that pulled
up and started for the western prairies
under the guidance of an agent who by
a knowledge of some OF the foreign Ian
guages spoken about here has made a
success at breaking up homes in Wiscon-
sin for the benefit of himself and his
partners. Most of those who made up
the socalled excursion" were plain.
practical hard working Germans, who
have been induced TO sell their homes al
4 time of general stagnation and lew
prices, to start for a country never seen
by them, and this at the s:ckly and dang
erous season OF the year. Ii these people
have the same experience as many others
who have left homes here, we will prob
able see them in few months or years
trying to purchase their old homes at
prices far above what they received; or
hear them as disheartened mon and wom-
en- who wish they had remained among
their friends. Brown county may not be
a perfect paradise, but it has 4 future of
prosperity, and those who honestly en-
deavor to make 1t prosperous are better
friends than those who would induce
men to leave certainty, for the sweet
promises of the agent who has only few
days experience in the land he desires
to make us all believe is better than
this.
