The appropriation for land surveys dur
ing the coming summer is about the same
IS last season and there 10 every prospect
that Dakota will receiye no greater share
than before. The apportionment of this
fund il seldom ever based upon the necesi-
ties Of the case. Localities are given gen.
erous sums which do not require any outlay
for surveys, while other localities must DO
content with a pittance, though there is ur-
gent need for the employment of . liberal
appropriation. With settlers coming into
Dakota by Thousands and with most of it,
available land yet unsurveyed it would
seem as though the bulk Of the fund should
this year be placed within our territory.
Thousands of settlers are equatting upon
the unsurveyed lands with the hope that
the lines NAV soon be run and that they
may know where their possessions lie and
that the time will o o come
when they may be permitted to begin need
ed improvements. Such future trouble will
result from this necessity, hut under the
neagfe appropriations for surveys the trou-
BILE cannot we'll be avoided. The tide Of
immigration waits not upon the slow move
ments Of congress.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.

St. Louis. April 16.-After something of
q let up for awhile, colored immigration
from the south has set in again this week
and some 800 or 400 people have arrived
since Sunday, taxing the refugee relief com
mit,ee to the utmost to provide for them.
In fact it is greatly overtasked, and they
are not only out Of money, but are several
hundred dollars in debt. This committee
reports that ever 5000 emigrants. have Or
rived so far. OF those about 1900 are able
to pay their way to Kansas and the remain.
der were sheltered, fed and partially cloth
ed while here, and their passage paid to
Wyandotte, Kansas. About 700 have been
forwarded this week, and there now re-
main in this city about $50, of whom many
are sick and unable to travel. The com.
mlttee has received in mony from all
sources less than $4,000, and clothing and
food of about $500 value. Their disburse-
ments exceed their receipts about $500,
which amount they owe to the Missouri
river packet company for deck passage to
WysDdotte. In view of this state of affairs
and tine further fact that several hundr red
more refugees are either on their way up
the river or ready to start on their pilgrim
age, and that these may be supplemented
BY other hundreds and perhaps Thousands,
they again urgently appeal for aid from be-
nevolent and humane people. They need
very much both money and clothing, and
plead for either in the name of oppressed
and suffering humanity.

SPICY TALK ABOUT SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

Washington, April 15.-There VAS con-
siderable discussion in the house to-day Is
to the policy of abolishing the southern
claims commission. Bragg made quite q
lengthy speech In support of his amend
ment to abolish this commission, but it was
rejected-sll the republicans and about half
of the democrats voting against it. There
were several amendments voted upon, but
the votes almost invariably showed nearly
all the republicans favorable to . contin-
uance of the present claims commission
and about one half of the democrats against
1t. The subject was not finished, but goes
over until to morrow on Springer's amend
ment to refer all private claims, of whatever
character, to the court of claims ~ at pre-.
sent constituted and have them examine
cases and report to congress, which shall
take final action. This abolishes the south.
ern claims commission, throwing oil claims
into the court Of claims; which has held
that q pardon removes oil faint OF rebellion,
making the claimant sufficiently loyal o
allow payment. This will open the doors
wider than they have been opened by the
southern claims commission and make the
passage Of Spriuger's amendment very
doubtful.

The public will be pleased to learn that
tae engineers of the Milwaukee road have
finally found a place where they can get
across the Jim river and it is presumed that
they haye by this time planted their tripod
On the western range of hills and are feast
ing their eyes on the promised land. The
spot is at Firesteel, and the mercury Of the
Firesteel peoples hopes stands at about n
hundred in the shade. A corresponding de.
preston in the local indicators is noticed at
Scotland, Olivet, Wolf creek, Milltown,
Rockport and Rosedale, each of which pos
sesses what has been officially acknowledged
to be the best crossing. This getting across
Jim river with a railroad is not much of an
engineering feat. 1t can be crossed most
anywhere by putting in a bridge. 1t is a
lazy prairie stream, has permanent banks
and does not overflow. The hills which
range along its course are broken by fire.
quent gulches through which a railroad can
find easy descent and easy ascent. The en-
gineers of the Milwaukee road have been
laboring industriously for the past six months
to find a crossing, and now finallv comes by
mail from Firesteel the eureka which indi-
Gates perfect success. We breathe freely once
more, for it really has seemed that the well
behaved Jim was an i~nsurmountable barrier
to the Westward progress of civilization
The thing has been done. Firesteel has the
valleys congratulations.

A private letter from a prominent gentle
man at Firesteel contains bitter complaints
because that region has been thrown into a
land district with the land Office 80 far away
from the center of new settlement. 1t had
been the hope of the people of the valley
of the Jim that when . change occurred the
land Office might have been located nearer
to them than before, and now that the ex-
pected change has occurred and they find
that they are compelled to 60 q still greater
distance for the transaction of land Office
business, they are excusably indignant over
the arrangement. The Jim river counties
are now the rallying point of the hosts of
new corners in search Of Dakota lands.
The counties eastward from the Jim have
mostly been occupied. The land Office with
which the business Of Jim river settlers
must be transacted is located in the extreme
southeastern corner of the district, seventy
or a hundred miles away from the busy
scene of settlement and with no speedy
means of communication between the two.
Next year the counties west from the Jim
river tier will be occupied by settlers and
persons having land Office business must
travel from one end of the district to the
other in order to engage in the necessary
transactions which give them government
farms. Mahomet sits enthroned many
weary miles away and the mountain must
60 to him or cease to be a mountain. These
are some of the reasons which induce the
people of the Firesteel neighborhood to
complain about the pre- sent in~convenient
arrangement.

We are told that any Pacific bill Is better than
40 bill. We think differently. II the Texas
Pacific il built under the present bill, 1t will
be fDr all time controlled against the South
BY one Of the most powerful railroad COM
bfnations In the world. We believe that the in
terest Of the South requires that no Pacific
road shall be built until she can secure her
full rights and interests In It.
The Times Of this city threatens to hold
up to public indignation and to cover with in
fanny every Southern member OF Congress
who does not swallow Colonel SCOTS bill
just as 1t is. We think that no member OF
Congress need fear the measure of infamy
which the Times Of New Orleans can put on
him. We believe, however, that the people OF
the South will hold to rigid accountability
any OF their representatives who may aid In
the completion of "a Southern" Pacific road
which shall add one more chain to those
which already bind the South In commercial
vassalage to the East.

MR.. ARNAULD'S BILL.

Yesterday Mr.. Arnauld member OF tina
House from the Fifth Ward OF this city, gavs
notice Of his intention to introduce bill to
repeal the charter of the Louisiana Lottery
Company. This Is step OF the greatest I'M
portance to the city and State, and Mr.. Ar
nauld will have the warmest and most cordial
support Of the DEMOCRAT In his move to de-
etroy huge monopoly and an obnoxious In
huence In our politics. One citizen Of New
Orleans Is now in iail-deprived OF his per-
sonal liberty and subjected to the degradation
OF imprisonment infringing upon the
rights Of this concern.
Mr.. Agusti, the prisoner, has committed no
crime. Mr.. Howard has over hundred men
In New Orleans, and many others Throughout
the State, actively, openly and constantly
doing just what Judge Billings, of the United
States Circuit Court, at the dictation Of tile
Lottery Company, has imprisoned this man
for doing, and will imprlson others for doing
for selling lottery tickets. Thus the re-
imarkable fact is presented that, under the
avs Of Louisiana, what 1t Is crime for one
man to do 1t Is the legal, innocent and pro-
fected business OF favored few to carry on.
The Lottery Company seems to choose those
periods when the Legislature Is in session to
enforce act No. of 1874, as IL to show its
contempt for that body, and to impress the
public with the belief that the representa-
tives of Louisiana dare not interfere with It
even for the purpose OF protecting the per-
ssonai liberties of her citizens.

The Times critlcises Speaker Moncure ID a
very eaptlous spirit for the expression Of his
views In regard to constitutional conven-
ton in his Introductory address to the House.
1T Is the invariable custom for the Speaker.
on taking his seat, to suggest cursory out
line OF such legislation as he regards of para
mount Importance, and If he Ia man Of any
convictions, and specially il he has been

nounced upon the matter at issue, he lust as
invariably takes position on one side or The
other. The House is under no obligations to
act upon the suggestions of the Speaker. and
At very often refuses to do so; still 1t Il none
the less his right and duty to make sugaes-
lions upon all matters OF such universal am
portance and interest.
! We fancy that, In this Instance ali The

property and "a. n fame Of the State, and some
deeds OF violence are done which can find no
justification in law or humanity. The white
people OF Louisiana are not responsible for
this business. The res possibility rests upon
the Teller committees and those who get
them up. Every drop IF blood, white or
black, which has been shed In Louisiana In
these political broils, DURING the last ten
years, is upon the hands and hearts OF the
leaders Of the Republican party. They are the
cold-blooded, cruel and relentless, l1oral and
political criminals, who have necessitated
what strife and what bloodshed there have
been, and sooner or later the country will fix
the RESPONSIBILITY UPON them.
