TIE animal report OF the Comm,s-
s'oner General of the Land Otfioe will
con ain an interesting abatement Of the
disposal of public lands TO actual settlers
dui!ug the past five years. The totals
are from 100000 to 4 ,O00,t 90 acres for
each one OF the three years 1878, 1879 and
1871. In The year ending June, 1878, the
totals increase TO Z, ,l66 .7S5 acres, and in
1879 - 6jt 900 acres. These have been
sales. But II Examination OF the entries
is made under the ii omestead and Tim
her Culture laws, they also increase In
like ratio. Ia 1877 the homestead entries
were 1858, COO acres, and III 1879 8 ,026, 600
acres. The net increase in the amount of
land taken by actual settlers during the
iaet year is nearly ! ,50O.O00 acres. This
is what the United States Land Office
says, and they report that thera is room
for thousands more. But then II you ask
the next ruty- nosed tramp, the Herald
says he Will asseverate that there Is not
any Government land. and has not bee
any for years. And. Of course, he Is the
best authority. The average tramp is
always the best authority on q great
many subjects, and faithful tramps agree

A GREAT many Kepupllcan pap rs
are very moral just now. Ihey thlhk
retaliation just one of the worst features
that q mans character can present-n
was all right to make return as the
Louisiana Return Board did in strict ac-
cordance with the law that was made to
give the Board the legal right 10 throw
out votes but 1t is all wrong to follow
the law in Maine made by tie sane
party for the same express purpose, but
only to be used by that party not by
the Democrats oh no. So that 1t is all
wrong to follow the law now, 1t Is in the
hands Of those for whom IL was not
made, and got there by the nerest acci-
dent. We have no doubt that Blaine
and Hamlin and others Of their party in
Maine had the Return Board fixed up on
purpose to prevent their ever being de-
feated-just as 1t was arrang d in Loulsi-
ana and other Southern States to secure
the very purpose it did effect. In fact
we were told before the election came
off by Republicans that it was under
stood by the knowing ones in their party
that Mr.. Tilden could not be elected
that it was so arranged that the votes
OF the States the Democrats depended
upon would be turned against them nc
matter If they did have a majority. And
so this fraud was known in all the
league clubs in the "loyal North" and
it was purposely "cooked up" and sue
cessiully carried out with the aid OF
Chandler, Ferry, John Sherman, Grant
and General Sherman. Had these men
intended that the will Of the people
should be respected the other men that
managed the great fraud would never
have had the nerve necessary to the com
mission Of the perjury and vllainy IN

The COURT PRoCEEpINGs.-- The
GAZETTE does not wish to make the
proceedings Of Court tax upon is
readers by giving all the testimony in
the voluminous way in which it is drawu
out in the Court. Our reporter is, there
fore, instructed to give the most material
parts bearing upon the case. The reader
will at once undersi and that this is done
to give him an understanding of the
case, with the least possible lime in
reading, and in order to make the news
paper more interesting to him by ena
bling us TO give the usual news Of the
day. 1t would be really less trouble to
us to give the reports in the extensive
manner in which our reporter reduces
them to paper. But then the reports
thus full would fill up tie paper.
In the case of the killing of the boy
Batson, by his playfellow, Brown, wi.
a base bal bat in The Ninth Ward, last
June, that is before the Court, many
readers will remember that all the cir.
cumstances and particulars of the case
were reported IN the GAZETTE at the
time. The boy, Brown, on trial for
murder, is colored Id about tive We or
thirteen years old. The case is not one
oil murder, and it really seems ST. ange
that in this instance the Grand jury
should have returned bill for murder.
The boy no doubt has a vicious, bad
temper, and is dangerous lad to be
allowed to play at largo. Buf no one
supposes he Is guilty OF murder in the
eye of the law, or that he would have
killed the other boy lad lie known the
blow would have proved fatal. Ordi-
nsrily ncsto's head is regarded as
hard as board and in ninety-nne
cases ont of every hundred bloS re-
ceived on the head does not affect tlem
longer than few hours or days and
this very circumstance makes them
rather careless Of blows and of striking
each other. But the case in point prove:
that all negroes heads are not alike ; ant
1t may prove too that even this boy wa,
capable of delivering E.ore severe blow
than boys of his age are usually capable
of; and further that the bat with whicl
he struck Batson was very heavy
atiair-an instrument that would very
likely crack any ordinary skull. Th'
circumstances, together with the you'll
OF the prisoner, give the case an irteres
that it would not otherwise have. TIL,

The Silver District excitement contin-
ues, and is daily increased by new devel-
opments. The population of the District
Is rapidly increasing. The yield of ore
shipments has already attracted the atten-
ton of mining men at San Francisco, sew
eral of whom have gone to look at the
mines. Hoffman, promoter of the Tip
Top NJ. Co., has gone to look at the Nellie
Kenyon with q view to effecting pur-
chase; Morgan has gone after the Black
Rock and Pacific; and Col. Tozer says he
has bought an interest in the Rover and
others. Hammond's shipment from the
Red Cloud sampled 315 ounces silver per
ton and nearly fifty-siX per cent. lead.
Previous reports of the immense quantity
of ore above ground are confirmed. There
is great demand for transportation, for
conveying ores from mines to steamboat
landing-415 miles. Teams will be sent
up byneXt steamboat. A tunnel into the
Rover mine is turning out some very rich
ore. Other mines are equaling expecta-
ton; and the ore shipments from Silver
District will soon be very heavy. This
has passed conjecture; the ore is now
being broken for sacking and hauling.

WE are pleased to hear rumors that
work is about to be resumed on an extern
sive scale on the Washington mine, in the
Patagonia district. The murder of Messrs
Finlay and Adams caused a suspension
of operations, though the mine was then
making splendid showing. The ore
vein is of great size, and magnificent
bodies of metal have already been expos
ed. The ore is of fair grade. The mine
lies in a thickly wooded and grassy
country; close to the cheap labor and
cheap supplies of the Santa Cruz valley;
and within little over 247 miles of the
seaport of Guaymas, over an excellent
natural road now about to be used for the
new Guaymas railroad. The Southern
Pacific railroad is approaching the Pata-
gonia mountains at the rate of mile and
half day. With all these ad vantages for
working its great ore-bodies, the Wash
ington mine is destined to figure pro-
minently in the record of Arizona bullion
shipments.

PROGRESS of the Southern Pacific Rail
road has been materially delayed by tardy
arrival of rails. Large quantities were
detained by snow east of the Rocky
Mountains; which are now beginning to
dribble along. The accumulated stock of
rails in Arizona was exhausted by the
rapidity with which track was laid be-
yond Texas Hill; six and half miles
were laid in three consecutive days.
Meanwhile grading has gone on with I'M
abated vigor, and the delay just incurred
will be more than made up by the speed
with which the coming rails can now be
laid,
