VERY IMPORTANT.

The Supreme Court Reverses Sec. Schurz'
Decision Against the u. p. r. r.
Washington, April 21.-The case of
w. H. Platt VS.. the Union Pacific rail-
road company, involving the right of
settlers to preempt lands granted by
congress to that railroad company un-
der section 8, of the act of July 1st,
1852, was decided in the United States
supreme court this afternoon. The act
referred to provides that all lands
granted to the company should be lia-
BILE to pre-emption if not "sold or
otherwise disposed Off within three
years after the completion of the entire
road. On the Sd of September, 1878.
the secretary of the interior decided
that the mortgage executed by the
company upon the lands in 1867, was
not disposal" of the same within
the meaning Of that statute. This
court, however, reverses the decision
of the interior department, and holds
that the mortgage was such disposal,
and that consequently the tract of land
claimed by the complainant was not
open to pre-emption when he under
took to pre-empt it, and that he has
not an equitable title. Decree affirmed.
Justice Strong delivered the opinion;
Justices Bradley, Clifford and Miller
dissenting.

sENATE-AFTERNooN SESSION.
Washington, April 2l.-Considera-
tion was resumed Of the army appro-
priation bill.
Bayard defended the incorporation
Of general legislation in the appropria-
tion bills and said as there was nothing
unusual in it the cry Of revolution was
unsubstantial and foolish, and the pee-
pie would condemn it.
An extended colloquy took place be-
tween Bayard and Blaine in regard to
the stationing of troops at the polls.
Blaine quoted democratic precedents
for such action, alluding to an instance
in 1857, when President Buchanan
called out the marines to attend and
preserve the peace at municipal elec-
tion.
Maxey, of Texas, said it WAS plain
that the constitution Of the United
States did not confer upon the United
States government the authority to
regulate elections, therefore it could not
be unconstitutional to repeal or modify
the act allowing such actions.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.

WASHINGTON.
Negro Exodus and Chinese Labor

Negro Exodus and Chinese Labor
Washington, April PA democrat
ic politician from Mississippi, who
owns plantation, said the negro exo-
dus to the western states would put a
new phase on the question of Chinese
immigration. He believed that several
thousand Chinese would be employed
in the south this summer to take the
places of the negro laborers who are re-
moving to the west.
Sixty of the negroes employed by the
gentleman had emigrated westward,
and he should, if possible, employ Chi
namen to succeed them.
The southern congressman will hard
ly oppose Chinese immigration if the
planters are compelled to seek the SER
vices Of the Celestials.
Appropriation Bills and Military Affairs.
Washington, April 21.-The agree
ment of the republican caucus, Friday
night, to abstain from dilatory motions
during the Monday sessions of the
house Of representatives having re
moved all distractions to the introduce
ton Of bills under call of the states, an
avalanche Of new measures may be ex-
pected to-day and all the house COM
mittees will undoubtedly proceed to
bring forward general legislation.
The senate committee do not as yet
manifest any inclination to transact
any general business, but the pressure
to enter upon it if the house sets the
example by any considerable number
of bills, will probably prove too strong
to be long resisted. 1t is the present
intention of the democratic majority to
press the army appropriation bill to a
vote in the senate, if possible, before
the close of this week, in order to send
it to the president in advance of the
reception of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill from the
house. The general debate on the lat
ter measure will close in the house next
Friday, but discussion of the amend
ments under the five minute rule is ex-
pected to consume several days subse-
qunntly. Speculation is rife among
the army officers concerning the proba-
BILE outcome of the recent hesitating
action of the senate military affairs
committee on the subject of army pro-
motions. The question whether the
prohibitory clause of last years law is
still in force, has, at the instance Of this
committee been referred to the
senate committee on judiciary by whom
a report will probably be presented in
the senate, in the executive session,
during the next few days. The best
informed opinion seems to be that should
the report be favorable to the pending
nominations they will be promptly
confirmed by the senate. The Thir-
teenth and Twenty-fourth infantry
regiments have been notified that they
will change stations this year.

success in converting the 10-40 bonds,
and says the conversion of the six per
cent. bonds in 1881 is likely to depend
more than the present operation on the
maintenance of the1redit of the United

the United States will probably render
it impossible to obtain money there at
fonr per cent, now that conversion has
been carried as far as it can for the
past two years. Sherman should direct
the attention of congress and the ma
tion to the policy of reducing the capi-
tai of the debt, which has been for some
time neglected.

tions to the use and occupancy of
the Grand canon of Arkansas for rail-
road purposes. The DEGREES of the
circuit court are reversed, with direc-
tions to set aside not only the order
granting the injunction against the
Denver 6 Rio Grande railway COM
pany, but the order dissolving the in
junction granted in its favor, and dis
missing its bill. BY proper orders en-
tered in each suit the court below will
recognize the prior right Of that COM
pany to use and occupy Grand cafion
for the purpose of the construction of
its road therein, and will enjoin the
Canon City & San Juan company from
interfering with that company in such
use, occupancy and construction. JUS
tice Harlan delivered the opinion, Chief
Justice Waite dissenting.
Although the prior right of the Den
yer company is recognized, the court
holds, as those portions of Grand cafion
which are too narrow to admit of the
construction and operation Of more
than one road bed and track, the right
of the Canon city company to use such
road bed and track in common with
the Denver company should be secured
by proper orders and upon such terms
as may be equitable, having regard to
cost Of construction and maintenance
Of the track in good order.
