coTToN-sEED OIL AND oIL-CAKE.
Editor Neubernian: The statement that
il "the cotton-seed raised annually IN the
South were utilized their product would
| sell for as much IS one fourth Of the, cotton
crops seems Incredible. The following
| figures, however. will prove the assertion
There are 4. .000, 900 bales OF cotton raised
OF 400 pounds each, making l,600,OO0,OoO
pounds OF infection. From each bale OF
cotton there is 500 pounds OF seed, making
! 3, 200, 100000 pounds OF cotton.seed. Re
duce the seed to tons and it makes l,6OO,0OO
tons of seed. Each ton Of seed Will make
! 80 gallons Of very superior Oil, and 100
pounds OF oil-cake.
One million six hundred thousand tons
of seed at 80 gallons 10 tue ton will make
81, 100000 gallons oil.
! One million six hundred thousand tons
Of seed at 700 pounds to the ton Will make
1.120, 900, 900 pounds Of oil-cake. Reduce
the cake to tons and it makes 100000 tons.
The oil is worth forty cents per gallon,
and the oil-cake S25 per ton.
$1,000. 900 gallons OF oil at 40c.....s .s2o,4s0.0o0
$50 900 tons Oil cake III S25........ 14,eoO,ooo
Total. .S34i4Su,ooo
There is an immense demand for the oil
and cake, large quantities OF the latter be-
ing shipped to Europe. The oil is largely
used for many purposes; it makes supe-
rior salad oil. and is used extensively in adul-
tcrating other oils. The refuse or residuum
is used for making q superior soap. There
is sufficient nutriment contained in the cot
ton-seed to feed every milch cow in the
United States, to furnish the world with
salad oil and have forty millions OF gallons
to spare, and to make soap enough to sup.
ply the entire United States. Nearly all OF
this is annually lost to the South, as but a
small fraction of the seed are now manufac-
tured. ....

Christmas In the Country.

One OF the most enjoyable as well =.
interesting occasions was the school
exhibition in connection with "a Christ
mas tree last evening a Harmony
school house. There Is ~ this rural
seat of learning, an exceedingly well
conducted day school under the charge
OF Mr.. II. c. LannIng, and fourshing
Sunday school under the superinten
dency of Mr. B. F. Walker These
schools united their forces to furnish an
entertainment on Christmas eve. A
handsomely decorated christmas tree
was the centre OF attraction and was
much admired for its artistic appear
ance. Ii was completely covered with
presents, many of them elegant ~ well
as costly, and all in keeping with the
glad time of year when merry making,
happy wishes and kindly acts make the
world brighter and better.
The exhibition by the day school con-
sisted of declamalions, recitations and
orations. 1t Is but simple justice to
Mr.. tanning and the school to say, that
the pupils acquitted themselves more
than creditably; they did excellently.
There was not break down or a fail
ure. One cannot particularize. for all
did well. Tho music furnished by the
schools, with Miss L. Walker at the or
gan, was complete success, and greatly
enhanced the pleasure of the evening.
Altogether, the bright, glad faces Of
the children, the joyous songs, the
hearty, kindly greetings OF all, made
the evening delightful one, and one
which we will be glad to remember.
All who were there join in vote of
thanks to Dick tanning. VAN.

Three Republicans seem to be the
most prominent candidates for the
Republican Presidential nomination in
1880: Blaine, Conkling, Grant. We
believe that with ono of these three
names the Republican party can achieve
an overwh elming victory. President
Hayes stated Immediately before, and
after his election, that he should not
again be an aspirant for the Presidency.
Nothing has occurred TO show that he
WAS not speaking his honest intention
in the matter, and certainly there is no
great clamor coming up from the PEG
pie for his re election. With either
Blaine, Conkling or Grant as the stand
ard bearer, the Republicans will feel
that they have tried and true expo
nent of the true principles of the party
one who has no policy conflicting with
tho opinions of the mass OF his party.
We believe, however, that decided ma
iority of the Republicans of the coun.
Try prefer that true and tried soldier
and statesman, Gen. Grant. He would
arouse moro enthusiasm in the cam.
paign than any Of our great party lead.
ers. We believe that this sentiment 10
growing stronger every day, and that
when he shall have returned from his
foreign travels it will be but to find
himself agreed upon as the Republican
Presidential candidate.

port grant in praesenti and not one in
future, or the promise of grant. 1t is
always to be borne in mind, in cOnstru-
ing Congressional grant, that the Act,
which it is made is law rs well as
conveyance, and that such effect must
be given to it as will carry out the in
tent of Congress. That intent should
not be defeated by applying to the grant
the rules of the common law, which are
properly applicable only to transfers
between private parties. To the validi-
" of such transfers it may be admitted
that there must exist a present power of
Identification of the land, and that where
no such power exists, instruments with
words of present grant are operative, it
at all, only as contracts to convey. But
the rules of tho common lew must yield
IN this, as in all other cases, to the leg
islative will. 1t appears from this that
the Act of July LIST, 1862, was convoy
ance from the United States to the Kan
sas Pacific Railway Company.
Query: How can persons get title
to these lands who are trying to pre-
empt them under the decision of Secre-
tary Schurz?
