WAsHINGToN, Aug. 2-Since the decision
of Secretary Schurz in the case of Dudy
Mott against the Kansas Pacific Railroad
Company the Commissioner of the General
Land Office has received daily great num-
Der of inquiries from parties interested in
this and similar cases. The Commissioner
says that under this decision of the Secre-
tary there is only one thing that he can see
his way to clearly as yet, and that is that he
must at once prepare instructions for the
Land officers to receive applications for the
preemption of such lands as the Company
has not yet sold.
The Commissioner regards the question
as one that will prove the fruitful source
for litigation, as many of the inquiries re-
received by him are from parties who have
purchased land from the Kansas Pacific and
other companies affected by this decision
since the expiration OF the three years linn
itation, for which in many instances they
have paid as high as $40 per acre. These
parties have taken legal advice, and now
claim q refund of the difference between
the amounts paidb by them over the price of
81 25 per acre, as fixed in the Secretary s
decision.
Many inquiries are also received from
parties IN the East VINO desire to migrate,
and so numerous are these that the Com
missioner has found it necessary to have a
large number of copies of these printed and
mailed to such parties for their informa-
ton. The Commissioner further says that
while the Secretary's decision covers one of
the points involved, there are many issues
growing out of the matter that will have to
be settled, chief among which is the ques-
tion of jurisdiction in the sale of such lands
as the company has now on hand unsold,
and the validity of the title to lands trans
ferred since the expiratian of the limitation
of three years of the charters of the COM
panies interested.

BosroN, Aug. "A large and queerly
composed audience gathered in Fanueil
Hall to protest against the imprisonment
of Ezra H. Haywood, the noted free-lover,
who was convicted a month ago in the
United States Circuit Court for circulating
obscene literature. Hon. Elizur Wright,
the noted insurance actuary, presided. Sew
eral spiritualists and number of free-lov-

language the unconstitutionality and
tyranny of Haywood indictment, and de-
nouncing the authority of Comstock,
through whose fundamentally he was ar
Vested.

The mighty laws of Moses
He who steals rags steals trash, and the
severest penalty of the law should be in
flicted upon the man who would rob a rag:
picker of his hard picked pickings. John
Young is that man. Simen Weinheimel
had secured the alleys and scrutinized the
contents of divers cutters until his labors
were rewarded by two big bags full, and
those overflowing bags were stolen by
Young. "It is disgraceful theft" ex.
claimed His Honor, "and when you emerge
from the Work-house, John Young, you
will not be so young as now, by three
months"
Old Adolphus Amber,
He is gay rambler,
A rambling book agent is he
His tongues on pivot.
Full freedom to give it,
And his cheek it is wondrous to see
But whisky upstts him,
And lager beer gets him
In sorrows and troubles full sore,
So ten days in prison
They give him in his'n,
Where Amber can amble no more.

The OPIUM EATERs.-The statements
of the druggists of Staunton, published
last week about opium-eating, startled the
community, as we'll they might, and have
brought some further facts to light. A
physician in the county tells us that the
vice is wider spread there than the staJis-
tics published last week would indicate.
Many store-keepers III the country find
their trade in opium so increased that in
stead Of buying in Staunton, as formerly,
they now buy OF wholesale houses at the
North. Some Of them make laudanum by
the gallon. One physician tells us Of d
case in which lady, confirmed opium
eater, sent two horses to neighboring
city to Sell, the proceeds Of one to be i'll
vested in morphine. by some difference
in price the sale miscarrled, and in two or
three days the man returned. When she
SD W him coming down the road leading
both horses she fell to the floor in an agony
of disappointment and died iii few hours
All the physicians and druggists we have
talked with agree that the nostrums put
up to stop the use of opium are merely
opium in some other form.
