The swelling figures of the annual re-
port of the United States land Office al
ways gives at least vague notions OF the
vastness CT the public domsin, from the
magnitude of the statistics employed in
dealing with ii. In one way or another
by homestead entries or timber entries
or cash entries, by college scrip. mill
tary warrants, State swamp patents. or
railroad grabs, fourteen millions of acres
have been during the past yearsubtract-
ed from the public domain. The survey
ing operations do not much more than
keep pace, in amount, with the current
Gisposais of lands. However, thus far.
about three-quarters OF billion ofacres
have been surveyed since operations be-
gan, while more than a thou sand mill
lions remain still unsurveyed.

The understanding engine invented
by Mr.. David Sinton. the Cincinnati
millionaire, is said to be q complete sue
cess. The popularity of the invention
consists in a series or four arches of
varying heights, built of fire-brieks and
rising from the sides of the furnace to
the bottom of the boiler. Between the
third and fourth arches is large open
heat-chamber. The coal is retained in
the fire-bed, in front of the three arches,
until the oxygen and coal gases com-
bine and pass under the arches all
afame into the heat-chamber, where
they produce an intense heat devoid of
any smoke. Mr.. Sinton will give
Cincinnati the free right to use his in
vention in its municipal buildings, and
he has no idea of devoting to his own
use any money arising from the sale of
rights to others.

II was generally expected Saturday that

that he had only authorized the statement
that as soon ne the Legislature should adopt

HORRID HUMAN H4 voc.

New YORK, Jan. ga fire broke out
this morning in the basement of the
Turner hall on East Fourth street, occu-
when the flames were extinguished Will
liam Geib, 20 years, Louis Schmidt 80,
Henry Gehwester 25, and Teresa Erhard
25, were found on the top floor dead.
Wrinkle and wife We're badly burned and
sent to the hospital. Annie Bauer re-
ceived internal injuries by jumping from
the fourth story windows and was badly
burned about the hands and face. An
unknown woman had both legs broken
by jumping from the top floor. Damage
to building and stock, $4,000.
The progress of the fire was so great
that if he was barely five minutes after
the first engine company arrived before
the entire inside of the premises seemed
to be alive with flame, the tongues of
which ran up the woodwork with speed
which put to naught the first efforts of the
firemen The premises Nos. Sc and 6S
were occupied by the Turn hall proper,
and in the upper stories of No. "a Win
kle the proprietor, resided with his fami-
ly and several employees. As soon as the
fremen could reach the roof they cut
holes in it and broke in the sky light, but
the fire had already done its fearful work
on several of the victims. Surrounded as
they were by the flames, and cut off from
all access to safety below by the burning
staircase, several persons sustained severe
injuries by leaping from the highest
stories on the building One man, while
crying frantically for aid to the firemen
beneath, was all the while pushing wo-
man who seemed to be resisting, from the
fourth story window. She finally leaped
and struck the ground on her feet with a
sickening crash, breaking both legs and
and arms and almost crushing her to
death. OF the twelve or fifteen persons
sleeping in No ga, four were burned to
death and five injured. The little boy
was burned to crisp, and the others
were either dead when taken from the
building or died before they reached the
sta ton house.

Thus far about thousand colored I'M
migrants from the south have arrived in
Indiana. Nearly all have located in
Putnam, Clay or Vigo counties on farms,
having secured better places than they
are used to. They generally make ar
rangements for a small piece of land and
a house for their families, and are receiv-
ing from $50 to $50 month for farm
work Most of them have found employ
ment. They say that politics has moth
ing to do with the exodus; the only rea-
son is that in North Carolina they
couldn't make a living.

dred for chief clerk of the assembly. This
would seem to be done through q purely

severe blow is struck to the case OF good

THE MINE QUESTION.

The Democrat last week contained an
other :rticleupon the outrage commit
ed III Maine by Governor Garcelon, land as
before entirely begs the question, when 1t
does not palpably misstate facts. 1t
seems a waste of time and space to follow
The Democrats pettifogging argument,
in the face and eyes of the following un-
deniable propositions:
/. The republicans elected clear and
unquestioned majority in both branches
of the legislature, and their candidate
for governor had plurality of more than
100000 There is no dispute on this point,
The conspirators themselves do not deny
it,
2. There is no charge of fraud in the
returns. It is not alleged in any quarter
that the returns did not correctly repre-
sent the honest result of the election. 1t
is conceded that the people meant to elect
and did elect republican majority in the
legislature.
8. The rejected returns were thrown
out by the democratic governor and
council, not upon the claim of fraud, but
simply upon the ground of technical err
rors. Every one of these errors could
have been corrected according to the eX-
plicit provisions of the law which governs
the board of the uniform practice OF
preceding administrations of all parties.
The only way in which Governor Garce-
lon and the council could escape such
correction was by assuming to declare the
law unconstitutional, though it had been
followed many years. One case came to
light where returns were rejected because
the governor and council assumed to say
that the signatures of the inspectors were
copied; when all three of them afterward
swore that they were their own signatures.
This, it will be seen, was pure assump-
ton, without any effort to ascertain the
facts.
4. The conspirators allege that they
applied the same rule to democratic as to
republican towns. How happens it, then,
that not a single democratic member was
counted ont, while thirty-seven republi-
cans with clear majority were refused
their certificates? The conspirators did,
| indeed, throw out some democratic towns
but they took good care to select such
| towns that no democratic member would
thereby be defeated Does anybody in
his right mind believe that this was pure
| ~ accidental?
5. The printed blanks sent out by the
State officers-these very conspirators-
were so printed that it was the most natu
raj thing in the world to make the fatal
defect in signing them. The officer who
provided them and the printer who print
ed them are among the chief conspirators
1t looks as though the game was planned
in advance, and we have no doubt it
| was.
6. Beyond and above all questions Of
detail is the commanding, overshadowing
fact that the will of the people, clearly
and emphatically expressed, has been de-
liberately overthrown. It is case OF
usurpation, pure and simple.
The finding of the supreme court is
corroborative of this view all the way
through. Not single peg is left in its
decision upon which Governor Garcelon
can hang an argument sustaining his ac-
ton. The Democrat is welcome to all it

THE country has had one year of re-
sumption. It was year that, according
to greenback and democratic prophecy was
to be filled with financial collapse, com
mercial disaster and human distress. 1t
has been year quite the reverse OF every
thing that the infationist predicted for 1t.
It has been monumental year of demo
cratic stupidity, incubated in the extra
session of congress and Matching out III
Maine and only awaiting opportunity
in the presidential election to work out the
full iniquity of the confederate program
It has been year which has shown to the
country SO clearly and Enthusiastically the
animus and purpose of the democratic par
tv, that it seems increditable that the organ
ization can any longer have the conf
dence of any considerable portion of the
public. The year 1879 inaugurated
new era in the material and political III
terests of the republic, and it witnessed
the first step of the people to restore the
national government to the great political
organization that has defended and pre-
served it for twenty years, and which is
destined to control it during the remain
der of the nineteenth century.

The Watertown Democrat, The Jefer-
son Banner and The Jefferson Indepen-
dent have been greatly agitated over an
item which appeared not long since in
The Jefferson County Union derogatory
to those members of the board of supervi-
sors who voted in favor of the resolution
requesting a discontinuance of the case of
The People vs. Fred. Neuer. The at
tacks of these papers have called out a
reply from Doct. Fl. B. Willard, the au-
thor of the Unions article, he having
charge of the paper at the time during
the absence of Mr.. Hoard at the East.
The doctor says:
We had nodesre to reflect upon any member
of the board, or impugn their motives, and it is
a part of our religion to make the amende honor
able whenever it may appear we have done an
injustice
Now, '1et us have peace" No one be-
Iieves that there was any bribery in this
business, nor that the supervisors alluded
to were governed by any but the most
honorable considerations They were
convinced that Neuer could not be CON
victed, and wanted to save the county
the cost of an expensive trial which they
believed would result adversely to the
prosecution. IF Mr.. Rogers, the acting
district attorney having charge of the
case, had been more tolerant in his views,
and less reyengeful, it would have been
better all around; at least it would have
been money in the pockets of the tax
payers.

IT is said that when the South Carroll
ia legislature met, some of its members
had what they considered bright idea,
to wit, the passage of a law requiring an
educational qualification for voters, in
order to shut out the blacks. But ON
looking over the subject, they found it
would shut out about as many poor
whites as negroes, and would so reduce
their representation in congress that they
dropped the subject. Bulldozing, they
thought, would be better

THE RE VOL UTTONARY PARTY

The Chicago Times, the leading demo
cratic paper Of the northwest, packs a
great many truths in this single para
graph: 1.-THE revolutionary character of
organized bourbonism is manifested in a
number of ways. 1t was exhibited by the
machine managers in 1876, by the attempt
to seat their presidential candidate by the
corrupt purchase Of presidential votes.
1t was demonstrated in the preceding,
and in the extra session of the present
congress, by the revolutionary attempt to
erase from the statute books all legislation
since the plantation chivalry withdrew
from congress in 1861, and carry the
country back to the time and politics of
the Buchanan regime, on pain of starving
the government to death. It is manifested
in the wanton usurpation of the highest
prerogative Of the popular representative
Legislature by executive absolutism in
Maine. 1t is manifested in the miserabl e
plea Of confession and avoidance set up
by organs of the revolutionary party in
defense of that monstrous usurpation. 1t
is further manifested in the open avowal
of a revolutionary spirit and intent, by
organs of the same party, in case their
aims should be thwarted by a proper and
lawful just and equitable change of the
mode Of appointing those party utensils,
