Important TO Settlers.
Washington Telegram, Dec. II.

Washington Telegram, Dec. II.
An important bill to soldiers was re-
ported from the committee on public
lands and passed by the house to-day.
The effect of the bill is to place soldier
and citizen on: an equality in their en-
try Of homesteads within railroad limits.
The law originally authorized soldier
to enter within railroad limits eighty
acres of land valued at So so an acre, in
lieu of homesteads Of one hundred and
sixty acres of other lands valued at SIP
an acre. Subsequently law enacted au>
thorizlng soldiers to enter one hundred
and sixty acres within railroad limits, and
to enter an additional eighty acres where
only eighty had previously been taken i;
but it also required soldiers to pay regis
try fees Of $40 for every such entry. An
other law was afterward passed authoriz-
ing citizens to select one hundred and
sixty acres within railroad limits, and
citizens who had selected only eighty
acres are permitted to enter an additional
eighty acres, but were not required to
pay fees for registry. The bill which
passed to-day simply placed the soldier
and citizen upon an equality. The text
of the bill is rs follows:
That from and after the passage of this act
even sectiOns within the limits of anv ur,nt of
public lands to any railroad company or to any
military road company or to any State in ai9
of any railroad or military road, shall be open
to settlers under homestead laws to the extent
of one hundred and sixty acres to each settler:
and any person who has under existing laws,
AIKEN homestead on any even section within
the limits of any railroad or military road land
grant. and wnO, by existing laws. shall have
been restricted to eighty acres, may enter un-
der the homestead law an additional eighty
acres adjoining the land embraced in his orig
inal entry, if such additional lands be subject
to entry /; or, if such person so elect, he may
surrender his entry to the United States for
cancellation, and thereupon be entitled to en-
| ter lands under the homestead laws the same
| rs if the surrendered entry had not been made,
| and residence and cultivation of such person
! upon and on the land embraced in his original
entry shall be considered residence and cult
! walton for the same time upon and on the
land embraced in bis additional or new entry,
and shall be deducted from FIVE years resi-
Edence and cultivation required by law. Pro-
ffsvided. that in no case shall patent issue upon
| an additional or new homestead entry under
| this act until the person has actually and in
conformity with the homestead laws, occupied,

Senator VOORHEES,, Democratic Senator

Senator Voorhees,, Democratic Senator
of Indiana, has introduced bill IN the
U. S. Senate giving the soldiers and
sailors who served in the Union army
during the rebellion the difference be-
tween the value of the currency which
they received in payment for services
ard standard gold coin. James B. w cav
er, member of Congress from Iowa, has
introduced u similar bill in the House.
In the preamble it is stated that the
"Congress of the United States has here
tofore in most solemn manner affirmed
that good faith required that all Cow
ernment obligations shall be paid in
coin or its equivalent" Without saying
anything at this time about the merits
of the bill, we cannot imagine how the
men who urged the adoption of the prin-
clple set forth in the preamble when the
claims of Government bond holders were
under consider alton can consistently op>
pose the passage Of this bill, which only
gives the soldier the same right that
has been conceded to the bondholders.

Ross Alexander coming 10 the Front as
Between Morality and Democracy.

While Harvey Daniord Is twitted with
lodging the vote on the local option bill
in the Ohio Legislature, we observe that
our neighbor, Ross Alexander, came to
the front like little man and said his
say boldly. Hence a Cambridge paper
says that Ross is "thc greatest Democrat in

COLUMBUS, March lS.-The extreme cold
weather during the past winter led many
to the conclusion that the wheat crop
would be very materially injured, but,
contrary to the result feared, it is now ap.
parent that, while in tho lowIands the
wheat was injured in spots, the general
average throughout this, the oontrnl, por.
ton of the State is most excellent, and
compares favorably with the prospects o:
a year ago, which had never before been
surpassed, the crop being the largest ever
gathered in the State. From information
thus far at hand at the Office of the secre.
tarY OF State, it is estimated that the
acreage OF the wheat sown last fall will not
fall far short Of 100000 against 100000
in 1877. This increase is attributed to the
fact that many Of the leading farmers have
plowed uptheir meadows and sowed them
in wheat, the low figure at which hay has
ruled during the past two years, render.
ing It an improbable product as compar.
ed with wheat or corn.
The information received By the State
Statistician from his correspondents
throughout the State is Of the most c heer.
ing character, all confirming the opinion
that the crop this season will exceed that
Of any previous year, barring poor wealth
er. In some places the growing wheat has
yellowish tingc, but this is not consider
ed an injury, but arises from the fact that
the snow and cold weather came on at a
time when the wheat was growing rapidly,
and will not be followed by injurious re-.
suits. Should the coming season be n
good one, the Statistician estimates the
yield at 100000 bushels. 1t is evident
that farmers consider the chances Of a
large yield good, as they are disposing of
their stock on hand. The absence OF the
usual grumbling INDUCED - by the
farmers in reference TO crops and bad
weather is noticeable.
While the prospects OF an abundant
yield OF wheat are apparent on all sides,
there is little doubt that the fruit trees
have been seriously injured, especially
peaches, pears, and some OF the smaller
fruits. Apples trees have rot suffer-
ed so badly, ami good yield is confident.
~ looked for, although at thi1 time very
correct estimate OF the advantage SUSTAIN
ed by storms Of sleet and the breaking
down Of branches can hardly be reached

The wheeling aud Lake Erie Road StIil
PlIckerlng BetWeen Life and Death.
NOrWalE, to) RSaoCtOr
Early in the present term OF the Court
Of Common Pleas the cases OF the Wheel,
Ing and Lake Erie Railroad Company
came up before Judge Fineirock on de.
murrers and motions filed by the delinqu'
ent stockholders to the petitions OF the
Company, and were fully argued by the
counsel employed, Messrs, G. T. Stewart,
Wickham & Wildman, and T. R. Strong
appearing for the plaintiff, and Messrs. s..
J. Patrick, D, L. strutton, and George w.
Knapp for the defendants. Sc. William.
son, Of Cleveland also appeared for one Of
Of the Milan defendants.
Several points were involved In the de.
muIrers and motions, the most OF them Of
no substantial Importance; but there was
ono question raised by the demurrers
which would have probably proved fatal
to the cases II II had been decided in favor
OF the defendants. To this point the at
torneys on both sides paid their principal
attention. TWAS claimed by the defend.
ants that no assessments on the stock
holders could be lawfully made until the
stock authorized had ben subscribed.
In very able and elaborate opinion
Judge FineiroCk held that that position
was entirely untenable, for two reasons:
First, because Of the provisions Of the
Ohio statute, allowing the construction OF
railroads TO begin as soon as ten per cent
OF the authorized capital has been sub
scribed; and, second, beeauSe BY he terms Of
The subscriptions, which contain certain erpress
conditions, all implied conditions are excluded.
Tho Judge laid particular stress upon the
latter branch OF his opinion. The opinion,
u correct, and there seems no room for
doubt, will apply 10 oil other claims Of
implied conditions which were raised be.
fore the Justices OF the Peace where the
cases were begun, such as, that tho road
was to be OF certain gauge, or WIS 10 20 |
by a certain line, &c. The Judge said,
substantially, that tho subscribers are
presumed to have included in their writ
ton contracts OF subscription all the con.
1itions upon which they had 10 rely. He
further said that It was the duty OF the
Court to uphold such stock subscriptions
when 1t can be done without q strained
construction Of the contract.
We are informed since the rendering OF
his important decision several OF the sub.
'cribens have paid up their subscriptions,
md others are promising to do so.
In this connection, President W. A.
Mack informs us that the claims against
he company are in fair way toward ad.
ustment, that they never could DO settled
10 cheaply as now, and that II $4,000 can
