IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, April 17.-In the early part of the
prcsent session. Mr. Addison Oliver, OF Iowa. intro
duced into the House, and had referred to the Com
nittee on Public Lands, resolution calling upon
The Secretary of the Interior for information in
gard 10 the amount Of lands which had been cr-
roneously patented TO the various railroad com
papies under the indemnity clauses of their land
grants These clauses are substantially the same in
all grants of lands to railroads; and by their pro-
visions the roads have right to take lands outside
of their ten mile limits in place of any within those
limits which may have been sold by the Govern
ment previous to the definite location of their lines
of roads. Mr. Oliver holds land his opinion is
tained by recent decisions of the courtsl that the
land grants for railroads did not and could not
vey lands which sold before the passage of the
granting acts, and that therefore, the roads were
only entitled to indemnity for such lands as were
sold between the dates of tho passage of the acts
and the definite location OF the roads.
This resolution was made the basis of an inquiry
at the General Land Office by correspondent of
TIE TRIBUNE, the result of which was published on
the 14th of March.
According to the Commissioners understanding
of the scope of Mr. divers inquiry it would include
the grants to half-a-dozen railroads The amount
of land patented to these roads IN excess OF that TO

Military Interference.

The report of the elections committee
in the Richardson -Rainey case, has been
drawn up by Representative Ellis, of
Louisiana, and will recommend that the
seat be declared vacant, on the ground
that the presence and operations of the
Federal troops in the district during the
canvass and at the polls prevented Il
proper and fair expression of the popular
will. This aspect of the case is presented
by Mr.. Ellis in his draft of the report
with great clearness and commanding
force, and his treatment of the case goe:,
to the bottom Of the questions of Federal
interference in local elections. The
Democrats in the House will have an op.
portunity to make square record on
this question by sustaining Mr.. Ellis
report, and we have no doubt they will
be found equal to the responsibility. 1!
is not probable that the army will evea
again be used for electioneering pur'
poses, but it is requisite to the vindica-
ton of the rights of States and of voters
that an example should be made of even
the last remaining result of their viola.
ton. Let the precedent be established
that no man can sit in Congress as the
representative of battalion of regular
infantry temporarily quartered among
the people of district to subvert with
armed force the expression of theil
peaceful will Washington Post.

A New York letter of Monday S

A New York letter of Monday says:
'Trustworthy advices received here rep.
resent Eugland's war preparations all to
mean the seizure and occupation of
Egypt; the acquisition Of that country
she considers will be o fair share of the
Russo-Turkish spoil, and under cover of
extensive measures looking to a fight
with Russia, the intention is to acquire
possession of Egypt. Under other Cir
cumstances she could not play her game
so we'll, as France and Italy, at least,
would interfere, whereas now the prize
can be obtained with but little if any
risk. England is already landing her
Indian troops in Egypt, while fleet of
irou-clads are said to be expected at
Port Said. Thus is she already showing
her hand, and if the intimations that
are now leaking out are correct, it will
not be long before the political power of
England is as strong in Egypt as is her
financial interest"

The SINGER SEWING MACHINES

A RE the Best, Simplest and most Dura-
N BILE in use. 1t has been greatly i'm
proved in the last few months, although the
old was very good. There are over six hum
dred of them in dolly use in this County,
giving perfect satisfaction. You may buy
Machine, "so-called," for less money, but if
you want to be satisfied after You purchase,
always get the best. This Company sell
more than all The rest put together, and
there are about fifty different Machines on
the market. Tie Singer was the first to
reduce the price, and of course the minors
had to follow, and they had to come little
below the Singer, or else they would have to
abandon business, for know from expert
ence that parties say if you will take for
the Singer what can get another at, will
take the Singer all tie time. What do
they mean by that?
Cash prices, S35, $40 and $45, owing to
style and finish, but the Machines are the
same throughout in the nice adjustment of
their parts, &c.
The best criterion that can give you as
to nv opinion of the different machines, is
my connection with this famous Machine
for nine years in succession.
Machines sold on easy terms. Machines
