ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.

ernor Crittenden left Tor washington yes
terday, to attend to some business con-
nected with the landed interests OF the
State. The recent trial of Robert L. Lind
say and others for fraudulent land entries,
and the ~forgsries connected Herewith, has
developed the fact that these grounds have
attained to some five or six million acres
OF land in southeast Missouri. The United
States Government is about to commence
proceedings for the possession of these
lands. A large amount Of these lands has
passed into the hands of innocent parties,
who have spent much time and money in
improving them, and to now dispose OF
them would work a great hardship.
Resolutions by the Trades Union.
NEW YORK, April 10.-The Amalgama-
ted Trades Union yesterday adopted reso-
buttons declaring that. as President Arthur
had vetoed the bill intended to restrict the
importation Of coolies into the United
States, therefore the Trades Unions regard
it as another evidence, from the governing
classes, that the interests OF he working
population are not considered, and that
President Arthur had ignored the inter-
ests OF the people by protecting the inter-
ests Of the Six Chinese Companies. They
extend a greeting to their brothers on the
Pacific Coast, bidding them to continue in
their work, and assuring them that victory
will crown their efforts. Their platform
OF principles calls for eight hours for q
days work, the compensation to be just
and fair for the labor performed.
Investigating Corners and Deal
inss I'm Futures.
New YORK, April 10.-The committee to
investigate corners and dealings in futures
met to-day. Chauncey M. Depew testified
that corners were formed in the West,
principally in Chicago. He considered
them very injurious to consumers, as New
York was obliged to get her supplies from
the West. Railroads, also, he said, were
i%njuriously affected by the cornerings.
President Jewett of the Erie Railroad
looked on the coverings as a very demon
alizing species of gambling. Railroads.
he said, suffered greatly by the practice,
which he thought could be stopped by leg
islation in Illinois, but not in New York
State. He knew of no remedy, except in
legislation, and regarded the whole system

psytment had forwarded instructions to
