RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.

REPORT OF THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE OF
THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-The report OF the
Judiciary Committee OF the House upon the
Northern Pacific land grants takes the
ground that under the limitations of the
granting act "the sole right which remains
in the United States at the present time is the
right by its Congress to pass any and all acts
which may be needful and necessary to in
sure the speedy completion of the road"
After Il careful review of the condition of
the road and what it has accomplished, the
committee reach the conclusion that it
would not be advisable to give its land
grant to another company or sell them
and apply the proceeds 10 the completion
Of the road; and that the early completion
if the road will be more readily accomplish
ed by the policy of non-interference on the
part of the government, and they therefore
recommend that no further legislation is
necessary or advisable. In the report re-
speeding the lands granted to railroads in
the Southern States, the committee adopt the
rule OF advising for the future such grants
as have not been in any way utilized, and, in
conclusion says: "The report is accompanied
by bill which declares forfeited the lands
granted to the following railroad companies:
The Elyton and Beavers Bluffs, Alabama;
Memphis and Charleston, Savannah and AL
bany, New Orleans and State Line, and the
Iron Mountain, in Arkansas"

CLEVELAND, o.. June 6.-The situation
among the strikers at Newburgh is I'M
changed. Only about 800 are at work to-
day, the strikers having dissuaded the others
by some means from working again. No
disturbances are reported, though the strikers
are en- hand in force. The company is de-
termined to continue running, even at a
large loss, before they will give in TO the
union men.
The strikers made matters lively at New
burgh to-day. They surrounded the la
borers, hooting and jeering at them, and
there was much excitement for a few min
utes. No violence was offered. Six men
were arrested for disturbances, two of them
belonging to the union. The police are
present in large numbers.

MEMPHIS SEWERS
And sanIfation-A Great Deal of Work
to be Done Yet.

The Samaritan for this month notices the
two little pamphlets already referred to in
the APPEAL. reprints of contributions by
George l.. Waring, it,, from the American
ATchitec', In reply TO numerous criticisms
and INTERPRETATIONS OF the subjects treated
of. Notwithstanding, The separate system
of sewerage of Memphis is still in need of
defense. Separate sewerage as system is
generally well understood by engineers, and
was long before Mem phis was severed; and,
moreover, the public-spirited citizens of
Memphis interested in the sewerage of the
city, had the separate system and its ad-
vantages under favorable consideration be-
fore it was presented to them by Colonel
Waring. To approve of the separate
system is, therefore, not necessarily to
approve OF the system adopted in
Memphis-a flush tank system, in city
affording any required gradient and an
abundant supply OF water. Why flush tanks
should be introduced under such circum-
stances, in preference to a limited supply Of
flush water from the roofs and other sources,
to an amount adapted to the same sewers,
without any increase of size, is question
which remains insufficiently explained; and
all the more, since the use of flush tanks un-
