After an interval of five minutes, during
which the reporter got interested in an
article, in copy of The Atlantic Monthly
for June, 1869, which, with several other
specimens of current literature lay on the
center-table, the folding doors of the rear
parlor opened and modest-looking young
woman came out. She handed a small pack
age to the young ladies, who at once went
away, and the blonde dude then stepped for

Senator ingalls,, in recent inter-
view: 1.-THE great region extending
from Manitoba to the Gulf of Mexico
and sweeping across the great basin
of the Mississippi from the ALLIE
ghanies to the Rocky mountains,
homogeneous in population, geograph-
ically unified, and with common in
terests-politically, socially and eco
neutrality-suspicious. to-day the
great political power of this section is
inevitable. The West will then Sc
cure it's emancipation from the con-
troll of the Atlantic seaboard, and I
can assure you that this is one of the
events of the near future. We will
treat these Atlantic and Pacific appen-
dages with justice; in fact might say
with more justice than they have
hitherto treated us. One of the ele-
ments of public thought in this great
region is the unification of the CONT
nent. Under this American idea the
northern boundry will be the Polar
Sea and the southern the Interoceanic
Canal. The ratification of the Next
can treaty was supported by western
senators under the inspiration of this
grand idea. This treaty is the first
step to the annexation of that country.
Stop and look at the existing condi-
tons. We have but twenty millions
of acres of arabic lands left. We are
approaching that period spoken of by
Macaulay as dangerous to republican
institutions, when the vast migrations
to these undeveloped regions will have
ceased, and when the artisans and
toiling masses concentrated in the
large cities will have no outlet for
their surplus numbers and no demand
for their labor. The policy of the
future is territorial acquisition. In
fact may say the American idea is
hemispherical rather than continental
The overflow of population will thus
find peaceful fields for profitable eff
forts"

Giving Uncle Sam the Benefit of the
Doubt.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 21.-The house
committee on public lands has directed Mr..
Lewis to report to the house with favorable
recommendation the joint resolution intro
duced by him prohibiting the secretary OF
the interior from taking any further steps to
patent any lands granted to any corporation,
state or person by congress, in any
case where reports favoring the forfeiture
of such land grants have been made to either
branch of this congress, until after final &C
ton shall be taken upon such bills, or until
the supreme court of the United States shall
decide upon the validity of such grant. The
resolution also prohibits the secretary from
certifying or patenting to any corporation
any land grant except where such corpora
ton has complied strictly with all conditions
of the granting act, and provides that in
cases of doubt in constituting these conditions
the benefit of the doubt shall be given to the
government.

The most puerile of all wit is the
cheap kind that certain newspapers
are throwing out at the expense of ex-
President Hayes. Since the expira-
ton of his office as president he has
conducted himself in a way that is
worthy Of commentator, not ridicule.
How much better it would be for Gen.
Grant if after his great work as Gener-
al and President had been accom-
plished, he had lived in dignified and
respectable retirement, feeding chick
ems Or in any .other honest work, in
stead of becoming the busted Wall
street gambler that he is. Hayes is a
better example for the youth of the
country than Grant.

declined till the cable is completed. When
the Faraday steams away she will proceed

she will steam thirty miles east to
Dover bay, and take up and splice the
shore end laid from Dover bay
towards the Irish coast. When this splice is
made she will sail for Ireland, paying out
1000 miles in the deep sea section. She will
then buoy the end section and proceed to
London for the remainder of the deep sea
section. After taking this on board she will
go back to her buoy and finish laying the
deep sea section to the Irish coast.
