NATIONAL NOTES.
The Oregon Central Land Forfeiture Bill
swain Court Hfartial-Sales of Post
age Stamps, Etc.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ga bill has Just
passed the Senate forfeiting the lands of the
Oregon Central Railroad Company, which
applies TO such portions only of the lands as
lie adjacent to and coterminus with the
uncompleted portions of the line. After
declaring such lands forfeited it provides
that persons already actually settled thereof
shall have the preference of title thereto un-
der the homestead laws. The price even Of
the numbered sections of the forfeited lands
is reduced 10 81 25 per acre. The bill also
repsals the act of March 3. 1875 which per
mitted actual settlers on the lands subse
quently forfeited TO locate elsewhere without
extra cost TO sn amount equal to their frat
holding. The bill row returns 10 ,he house,
having originated there. In its present
shape it differs materially from the form In
which ii came 10 the Senate, the House
bill having declared forfeited al the lands
granted the company.
Very little progress was made in the
Swain court martial today. Nearly every
question asked was objected to by one side
or the other, and what little inform alton
was obtained had no special interest.
The sale OF postage stamps for the third
quarter OF 1884 were 10, 6l7, TAI. or 573. .002

DIR. Cornelius r. Agnew, OF New York, has
resigned from the Board OF Indian Commits

Mr.. F. c. Morehead, President Of the
National Cotton Planters Association,
called on the President 10 day, with Senator
Gibson, and formally invited him to be
present at the opening of the Universal
Cotton Convention. to be held in the grand
ball OF the Worlds Exposition, at New Ofleans
on February 10, under the auspices OF the
National Cotton Planters Association. The
President eyinced much interest in the great
convention. and said it had been his inten.
ton and earnest desire to visit New Orleans
during the exposition, and it would afford
him additional pleasure to be present at the
opening of the convention. He therefore
accepted the invitation to attend, unless
official duties intervened to prevent his
going.
President Robert Garrett, of the h. and o
Road, rendered the President his private car
for bis party, with such special railway
facilities IS may be needed.
The statement that the President woul0
visit the exposition on the 10Th inst. was
