The secretary of the interior takes
early occasion to reverse the ruling Of
the land commissioner prohibiting clerks
of the court in certain counties to exc.
cute final proof in homestead entry cases.
The decision of the secretary of the
interior is outlined in the following
Washington telegram of March 4th:
The secretary oi the interior to-day
rendered q very important decision Of
great interest to settlers in new counties
proving up their land entries. ltreverses
the ruling of the commissioner of the
general land Office of Jan. 10Th last, re-
garding the powers OF clerks 81 district
conlts in counties in which no court has
been held. The commissioner ruled that
these clerks could not administer oaths
and take proofs under tue pre.emption
and homestead laws, because the net of
March 3, 1877, provides that such proofs
could be taken before judge, or, in
his absence. the clerk OF the court,
constituting the term "in his absence" to
relate to county in which judge had
held court, but was temporarily absent,
and holding that lie could not be absent
ii he had never he'd court in the county
THIS railing was first retroactive in its
effect and would have destroyed the
titles of thousands Of acres in Dakota
aud other western states and territories.
A second decision. however, modified
this effect. making 1t apply only to the
future. Even then it would have been u
source of great Inconvenience aud ex
pense to se, tiers to 60 from counties i'll
which no court had yet been
held to distant couuties. TIE
mutter was pushed through
by Delegate Raymond, who was very
earnest aud active in getting the secre.
tary cf the interior to take 1t up aud
make AZ early decision. Tue secretary
discusses the status OF clerks of courts
in counties He holds that the statutes
in Dakota provide for the appointment
of snch CLERKS and prescribes theil
duties. He says that the act of 1877 IL
its language, "in his absence" contem
plates the absence of Judge whether
any courts has been held in the county
or not. he holds that absence from thu
county on the part Of Judge applies tc
new counties where no courts have beer
held. The result is that clerks in new
counties can take proof in land cases.
Chief Justice Edgerton bad pleviousl,
rendered an opinion in harmony will
the opinion of the secretary OF the in
terror. The question was raised betor
him on motion to quash an indictmen
on the ground that the perjury com
planned of was taken before clerk O
the court in the county in which no cour
lad been held, and therefore it wa
argued that no perjury had been com
mitted within the meaning of the stat
g utes. Judge Edgerton overruled til
motion, thus establishing the right c
!, clerks Of the court to act as such i
counties in which courts had never bee
held. The final decision in this case is
just one.

The Nomination of Blaine and Logan Un-
favorably Received by tho Native Press
Their Absurd Interpretation of The
American Idea of +" Vigorous Foreig n
Policy"
GALVESTON, TEX, June a.
Dispatches from Mexico the past
two weeks have indicated in degree the
dissatisfaction with which Mexico re-
CARDS the nomination of Blaine. De-
layed exchanges have now arrived, trans
latlons of which show that the meager
dispatches scarcely reflected the intense
feeling of hostility in Mexico against
Blaine. The VOce De ESpdH, one OF the
most influential local journals in the re-
public, issued from the City of Mexico,
editorlally says: "The telegraph trans
nlltS TO US very alarming piece of news.
Inc triumph of the candidacy of Mr..
IL alne involves threat to the Latin race
In America, particularly to Mexico. 1t is
known that Mr.. Blaine Is Machiavelc
and an ultra Monroeist, and that it is not
long since he, in union with Don Ruhno
Barrico, couspired against our country.
His fall from the Department of State
saved our country an international con-
fict, and to-day the railroad which con-
meets US with the great Republic is more
than ever danger to our independence
ct all points. 1t will fall to the lot of
Mexico to be the theatre of painful events,
and very soon we will repent the rail-
way concessions given to the citizens of
neighboring Nation, which will be made
to serve as chains with which the slavery
of our people will be contaminated. It
is necessary to be on our guard. Every
Mexican should be a soldier, and prepare
n hnfnnh I'D.
pendence. The people are to
be made victims of the Governments
want of foresight, but it is still time of
peace, and in times of peace one prepares
for war. We should not lose a moment
in preparing to defend our dearest and
most legitimate interests. The Govern
ment would do well to organize a Ma
tional guard, and precautions are never
out of place." This editorial called forth
an extended reply next day from The 1tcO
Republics, an American paper published
in the City OF Mexico, which said, in
part: "The alarm manifested by the
VOce de ESpdnG is uncalled for, and
its panic would be laughable but for
the fact that it is calculated to do harm
in misleading uniformed people. Our col
league seems to think that Mr.. Blaine al
ready has been elected President of the
United States, and that the Chief Magis-
trate OF the American Republic is an alb
solute monarch, and that Mr.. Blaine is a
roaring lion. We can assure our esteemed
colleague that this is not the case. The
TtrO RepublicS is a conservative journal,
merely rejecting the sentiment of Ameri-
can and English-speaking residents of the
City of Mexico. 1t is powerless to coun-
teract in the smallest degree any political
wave, however fanatical, that may sweep
across the Republic of Mexico.

BLAINE's REPLY.
Mr.. Blaine then read as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Ma
tondl Convention:
receive, not without deep sensibillty.
your official notice of the action of the
National Convention, already brought to
my knowledge through the public press.
| appreciate more profoundly than [ can
express the honor which is implied in the
nomination for the Presidency by the Re-
publican party of the Nation, speaking
through the authoritative voice of their
duly accredited delegates. To be Sc
lected as q candidate from such an assem-
blage, from the list of eminent states
men whose names were presented fills me
with embarrassment. I can only express
my gratitude for so signal an honor and
my desire to prove worthy of the great
trust reposed in me in accepting the
nomination as | now do. l am i'm
pressed, am also oppressed with sense
of the labor and responsibility which at
boNhCo w my POblIiOhs AhV 10
lightened, however, by the host of earnest
men who support my candidacy. A more
formal acceptance will naturally be ex-
pected, and will In due season be
communicated. 1t may, however, not
be inappropriate at this time to
say that L have already made careful
study of the principles announced by the
National convention, and that, in the
whole and In detail, they have my hearth
est sympathy and meet my unqualified
approval. Apart from your official err
rand, gentlemen, l am extremely happy
10 welcome you all to my house. With
many of you l have already shared the
duties of public service, and have en-
joyed most cordial friendship. | trust
your journey from all parts of the great
republic has been agreeable, and that
during your stay in Maine you wf1l feel
that you are not among strangers, but
with friends. Invoking the blessings of
God upon the great cause which we
jointly represent, let us turn to the flu
ture without fear and with manly hearts.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Blaine's reply
the members of the committee were in
troduced to him individually, and an hour
was spent in social and informal converse.
The members then repaired to the house
of Colonel Osgood, where they were en-
tertained at lunch. At one O'Clock they
left for Portland.
