The Railroad Wins.

A curious suit was brought in
the q. S. Court yesterday by the
c. P. R. r. Company against res
ident of Washoe County who lad
for some time squatted on the Com
pany's land and refused to pay any
rent. The suit was for thirty-six
months occupancy with rent at one
dollar a month. The jury gave a
verdict for the Company whose at
torney stated that the suit was
brought, not with any expectation
Of getting anything but to estab-
fish the Company's right to the
land.

The Sacramento Convention

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, March Il
The Press says cditorially: The
resolutions adopted by the Anti.
Chinese Convention at Sacramento
last Wednesday are temperate in
language but decided in tone. The
spirit which controlled the assem-
bly, can be judged Of better when
the report of the speeches made
come to hand. 1t is plain that a
more systematic effort to get rid of
the Chinese will follow this con-
vention. The formation Of State
organization and resolve to boy
colt all those employing this class
OF laborers are pointing in this di-
rection.

Why Mcclellan Was Dismissed

A Washington letter in the Cleve
land Leader gives this version OF
Lincoln's dismissal of Mcclellan
After the battle of Antietam Lin
coin was much annoyed because
Mcclellan would not follow up the
victory. Lincoln sent dispatch
after dispatch after him to hurry
him up, but every dispatch was
answered by excuses. At the end
of three weeks Lincoln sent a dis
patch, urging Mcclellan by all
means to move, and to this Nc
Clellan replied that he could not
move, because the tongues of his
horses were sore" It was
this dispatch that capped the eli
max in McClellan's case. Fifteen
minutes after it was received a dis
patch, signed by the President di-
recting Mcclellan to hand over his
command to his successor.

alleged to be still in his posses

that he brought the suit in &C
cordance with instructions, but
did not consider that he had any
case. The defendant showed
vouchers for every dollar received
since 1876. He also showed that
he had at one time been over
paid $500 by the Department By a
mistake and he submitted the
amount at once to the Sub-Treas-
ury.
He also showed a letter from
Carl SchurZ ex Secretary of the In
terror to the effect that his accounts
We're all square with the Govern
ment. The accounts showed that
the Government really owed
him $3S. The Judge invited the |
jury to bring in verdict for the

The land Question.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL
VIII you please inform an unen
llghtened reader something abou
the land question. You have pub
llshed Il good deal about land mat
tiers Of late, and in your paper see
it stated that no more than GAG
acres can be taken up by one indi
vidual, yet [ am assured of the fact
there are men in this State who
have several thousands of acres, all
taken up under the land Act.
Can you explain how it is that
the officials at the Land Office al
low this thing to go on? Are they
not lax in their duties? Don they
know the whole thing is a fraud?
And Mr.. Editor, does not every
man in this State know that it is a
fraud? Yours.
AN INQUIRER.
The APPEAL does not feel we'll
enough posted in land matters to
fully explain this matter. We be-
lieve that the men who own large
slices of the public domain violate
the spirit of the law but not the
letter of it. When Uncle Sam
made the law he contemplated al
lowing each man to own but go
acres, but the law was drawn up in
such way that It's provisions
could be easily eyaded.
The ofIicia at the Land Office |
are not in a position to know who !
the applicants are. A man may
get his friends to make applica-
lions and then turn the land over
10 him. In cases of this kind |
:he Land Office officials have no
means of knowing anything about
he collision between the parties.
% long as he is not a party to it
himself, there is no way under
he law of preventing it. The APP
ZEAL would advise it's correspond
mt to get up lot of applica-
ions in the same way and freeze
o all the land he can before it is
II gobbled up.

1t is wonderful how little matters affect
great deeds. ] came across funny story as
told by Randall. the man who wruie the large
biography Of Jefferson, which shows how the
signing of the Declaration of Independence
was FASTENED. SAYS he: "While the question
of independence was before Congress il had
its meetings near livery stable. The mem
bers wore short brooches. and SILK stockings,
and with handkerchief in hand they were
dill gently emploved in flashing the flies of
their legs. SO very vexatious vas this annoy
ance, and to so great an Impotence did IL
arouse the sufferers, that it fastened, if 1t did
not ard. in inducing them TO promptly atfix
their signatures to the great document which
gave birth to an empire republic.
"This anecdote | had from MIR. Jefferson at
Monticello, who seemed to enjoy 1T very much.
as well as to give credit to the influence Of the
flies. He told 1t with much glee. and seemed
from which the only relief was signing the
paper and flying from the scene."
The State Department Library is the richest
of he Offices of Washington in its relics Of
the declaration. II has the original draft Of
jefferson, and the enerossAd parchment
sigued by the delegates. The two are in big
cherry or mahogany cabinet. They are kept
behind glass, and the writing on the paroh-
ment has begun to fade, so thst now John
HaDcock's name has almost entirely vanished,
aud the names OF manv Others of the signers
are illegible. In another part of the State
Department Library is a case containing the
desk on which Jefferson drafted the declara-
ton. 1t Ia only three inches high, and sold,

1t is very encouraging to witness the
continued growth and improvement of
Savannah. For years the city was thought
a good place to make money in, but not
good enough for some people 10 live in.
Men came here from all parts OF the world,
staid here a Few years, and then moved
away to live elsewhere upon their IT.
comes. Times have changed. however,
and to-day a business man to succeed here
must show some public spirit. He can't
sit in his Office or store and gather in the
shekels and hoard them. This change is
greatly owing to the improved sanitary
condition of the city. A vast amount OF
drainage has been done. Streets have
been put in better condition, and there is
a more general feeling OF security in the
health Of the city, and consequently
in its continued prosperity, than
ever before. Savannah has always
lacked certain conveniences and
comforts which keep people at
home and make them satisfied with their
surroundings. with more paved streets
and good sidewalks, so that the people
can drive about and walk about with
comfort, more people will remain at
home. improvements in these respects
are, it is a pleasure to state, gradually
being made. They might be pushed for
ward, however, little more rapidly than
they have been.
The railroad to Tybee will be OF grea
benefit from the standpoint of sanitation.
People will be better satisfied TO stay at
home If they can occasionally take trip
to the seashore. The rapid growth of Sa-
vannah of late can be attributed to the in
creasing freedom of the city and suburbs
from sickness and the increasing COM
forts and conveniences OF living in it. No
money can be invested where it will bring
a greater return to the city than by i'm
proving the drainage and the streets.

representation in the Plttsburg couven-

sS9, coo had been expended for explosives
In England, which could not have cost
more than $4,000. but the story must be
received with caution, as there are some
people who have grave doubts whether
bhere was any meeting at ALL" 1t would
seem very reasonable to suppose that it
would take the difference between 50, 900
and SIS, 900 to keep up the enthusiasm of
the dynamite fund collectors and the
dynamite exploders. tits, therefore. un-
reasonable to believe that an angry de-
bate took place about such trihing

The Prohibitionists of Lincoln, Frank
lin. Amite and Pike counties. Miss, held
a grand mass meeting the other day to
devise ways and means of securing and
enforcing a probibitIOn law. The three
first named counties have already adopted
prohibition under the local option law,
bat they find some difficulty in enforcing
it. The last named county has not yet
adopted the law, but the ProhibitIonists
are organizing for an election on the
question of its adoption, and their friends
in the other counties propose to give
them all the encouragement and aid they
can.
1t seems that liquor is sold at only one
place in Pike county-the town of Sum-
mit-and the farmers of the counties
named, who do nearly all their trading
and marketing at Summit, have ''deter-
mined that the liquor traffic shall be BAN
lshed from that place" They are i'm
PEELED to do this on account of the abuses
of the traffic, the disorders occasiOned by
it, and especially the Generalization of
the laboring classes.
The mass meeting was very large
one, and resolutions were passed request
ing the people OF Summit to suppress the
sale of liquor, and intimating that the
saloon keepers had resorted to the boy
colt, and fair notice was served that the
people would not tamely submit to the
traffic nor the bOycotting tactics.
Both sides in Mississippi have been
more or less extremists in the local option
contests, and have shown in many in
stances disposition to resort to oppres-
sion and violence. 1t seems that the peO-
pie of all parts of that State ought to learn
something from the history OF such con-
tests in other States. Such tactics do no
good, aud can only result 10 harm. Boy
cotting the boycotters, however, is very
effective way of dealing with the subject
when the issue is forced upon a com.
