Various Washington Hens.
CHICAGO, November 23d.-Tbe Inter
0cean's Washington special says: We learn
to-day that the raiders into Indian Territory
have been arrested, and the War Department
says all such will be severely dealt with, and
the Indians be protected at all hazards until
the law is defined differently than now under
stood by the Government authorities.
The reason for the second investiga lion into
the South Carolina census is not to satisfy
Gen. Walker, President Hayes or Secretary
Schurz, all of whom accept the figures as final
and correct, but to satisfy the country at
large, and make possible a redistricting. Ii
there was no reliance in the reliability of the
census, there would be bitterness, suspicion
and inflammatory speeches in Congress, and
great difficulty in getting any redistricting
General Walker intends that his work shall
be the standard in every case, and be accept
ed as conclusive.
Congressman Hauk of Tennessee says that
Maynard will be the only Senatorial caudi-
date, and will likely receive votes from sew
eral Democrats who desire to support the
Administration. This will elect him.
Bailey has most of the present strength of
the Democrats.
Judge Lawrence says there is nothing in
the alleged possible deadlock in Indiana.
Porter becomes Governor by, going to the
place designated by law and taking the OATH

sixty per cent. of the working force, having
been wormed in by Democratic Congressman

the Republicans regarding the technical form
of certificates of members are useless, and he
will make up the roll of the House with alb
solute fairness.
John T. Collins, Republican candidate
for Congress in Georgia, claims that he has
been counted out, and will contest, adding
another to the already unprecedented num-
Der of contests.
Congressman Springer discovers that a
Democrat has been elected in Iowa, and a
Republican. whose majority is only II, is
defeated. He claims that the Republicans
threw out some Democratic votes.
Southern Republicans will protest to Gen.
Garfield against sectional Cabinet, and
will urge that he give the South some recog-
milton in his Cabinet
The impression gains that Garfield will not
even retain Sherman, of the present Cabinet,
but nothing is known positively.
A LOng-PendiDg Case Decided.
WASHINGTON, November 23d.-The Com
missioner Of the General Land Office to-day
rendered final decision in the long pending
case of the rancho Boca De Santas Monica,
seven-twelfths of which are owned by
Senator Jones and r. G. Baker, and the re-
mainder by the original grantees. The novel
question presented to Commissioner William
son was whether he had jurisdiction to die
tate selection of the quantity of land con-
frmed within the designated exterior bound
aries in case like this, when the owners
could not agree upon a selection. He de-
cides that he has jurisdiction, holding that
u
upon proper construction of the Act of
July |, 1864, the making of such selections by
the owners of grant is not right, but only
a privilege given by the generosity of the
Government in cases where the confirmees
agree upon the selection. He then proceeds
TO order that the excess of 800 acres shall be
thrown off from the eastern portion of the
tract by line commencing in the northeast
corner of the judicial possession. The prin-
cipal part of excess area thus segregated is
adjacent to the town of Santa Monica, and
the decision is therefore favorable to Jones
and Baker.
