On motion of Capt. Bean, Capt. w. Blake
ly was elected as temporary chairman. An
amendment offered by Lieut.. Tawney was
adopted providing for the election OF dele

maintain a rational guard, as provided in
the bill now before congress. Minnesota s
representatives in congress were requested
to support the measure. Gov. Hubbard
made u brief address, in which he cOmpl-
mented the state militia on it's efficiency.
He said that he had no recommendation to
make, and, with the delegates as sembled,
was heartily in favCr OF any measure that
tended to improve the state national guard.

tions favoring annual encampments ut the
same place each year, and the appoint

What is Being Done for Settlers.

Washington special.-Senator Plumb, the
chairman OF the committee on public lands,
IN conversation with your correspondent
regarding the appeal ma lie to the commit
tee for relief against the arbitrary action
OF Commissioner Sparks of the land office
In Withholding patents from settlers, said:
There ought TO be some law which will
protect the honest settlers from rulings
that are intended to punish dishonest ones.
There is, no doubt, Il large amount of fraud
In public land entries; there always has been
and always will be, but the honest settlers
are quite as anxious as Commissioner
Sparks to prevent and punish it, They are
more interested than he, and to be classed
with claim jumpers makes them very indig-
nant ofcourse. When a man has complied
with all the equirements OF the law and is en-
titled to a pateHt for his pre-emption or
homestead or timber claim there ought to
be some easy and inexpensive way for him
to prove it, and this committee is now
studying the subject with the hope of being
able to frame a bill that will enable him to
do so. The land officers in the various
districts ought to have the authority to
administer oaths and take testimony
in final proof eases so that the facts
may be determined and appear up
on the records when a patent is APP
piled for. The land commissioner has
got to take somebody's word for it.
He cannot investigate each case himself,
and it would be too expensive to make an
examination OF every case through spe-
cial agent. | see he has got board OF re-
view. That is all well enough as far as it
goes, but this board sits in Washington,
and ii it completed one case an hour it
would require years to go through the ac-
emulation, to say nothing OF the current
business. l hope we shall be able to get Il
bill to cover the case.

From the London Times.

All the evils, overwork, under pay,
starvation during periods of illness CT
''slack times, with their consequences,
the eimpossibility of obtaining even the
smallest amount of leisure for amuse-
ment or instruction, the wretched
home, destitute OF any approach to
decency, much less comfort, neglected
children, growing up without care or
restraint, and graduating in the
streets for life of crime, and the
temptation to supplement inadequate
earnings by selling themselves, all
these might be greatly alleviated were
female labor properly organized. 1t
is by reason of the terrible competi-
ton among the operatives that en-
ployers can get the work taken at the
prices they offer. If the first-comer
refuses to make shirt for pence
less cost of cotton, there are hundreds
of others ready to accept such terms.
1t is only when union shall be sub.
stituted for isolation, and co-opera-
tion for competition, that We can
hope to see "a fair days work." and
female labor paid at a rate somewhat
in proportion to its value. As DR..
Rusk;n says: Government and co.
operation are in all things the laws OF
life; anarchy and competition thelaws

many similar letters are received at

answer them by printed circular. The
pretended prosecution of these pre-

sistence and ingenuity by the men en-
gagged in it that despair of being able
to make their credulous victims under
stand what an utter imposture and
delusion the whole business is. l can
not too strongly advise you since you
have addressed me on the subject, to
have nothing to do with such schemes,
and especially to remit no money to
their agents. But if ifdisinclined las you

my power to render you in the matter,
or which if rendered would do you any
good.

instructions OF the State Department

OF specific authority from that depart

Forfeiture of Northern Pacific Land.

Washington Speeial:-Land Commits
sioner Sparks promulgated an important
decision. affecting he claims OF the Northern
Pacific to grant OF land between a point
on the Columbia river near Portland, Or,
and Tacoma, on Puget sound, in Washing
ton Territory. The commissioner says the
road between these points was authorized
to be constructed by Joint resolution OF
congress in 1869 without q land
grant. The railroad company lay claim
to a grant for this portion OF the road
unde rthe joint resolution OF congress OF
1870, which provided that the company
might construct its main line down the Co.
lumbia river and its branch across the
Cascades, with the same grants as provid
ed for by the original act OF incorporation.
This decision affects the oddnumbered
sections OF land, 50 miles in width, for
distance OF 100 miles, aggrega-
ting some >, 500, 600 acres, estima-
ted to be worth S25, 900, 600. The
claim of the railroad company to these
lands has long been disputed by settlers,
large numbers of whom are in occupation,
claiming the right to enter under the pub
lie law. 1t is understood that Secretary
Lamar approves this forfeiture, and will
sustain the decision. 1t is not believed
among some lawyers that this action will
effect forfeiture.

Hold the Fort.

This celebrated message, "Hold the

General Corse in Altoona, some time
in the early part of June 1864. Gen.

Kensie was then in charge Of the sig
nal corps, the captain being absent,
and thus describes the circumstances
under which this message was sent: Il
took it and the signal flag and called
for volunteer from my little squad.
No one responded. then offered the
flagstaff to each man, and asked him
if he would volunteer. and each de-
clined. Ithen thought l would detail
one. but my brother Tom was in the
squad, and the thought struck me, If
detailed another than him, they would
say at once 'partiality.' If detailed
him and he was shot, | could never
forgive myself, and it seemed like GER
tain death to any one to rHattertak IT,
At this moment OF hesitation, the gen
eral, seeing no man go forward, said
to me, firmly: Lieutenant, thought
you said this message could be sent
1 replied, 1t can,' and without fur
ther delay mounted the signal station
and commenced sending the message,
expecting every moment to be shot.
The flag was about eighteen feet long,
and the wind was blowing some, and
found it very hard work, and felt as
though I must give out before it was
dcne. At this moment, when it SEEM
ed could stand it no longer, stran-
ger, not member of the signal corps,
came up behind me, put his arms
around me and along my arms, took
hold of the flagstaff, and standing be-
hind me, helped me to wave the an

From Good Words.
Return. return" the voices cried,
ITO your old valley, far away;
For softly on the river tide
The tender lights and shadows play;
And all the banks are gay with flowers,
And all the hills are sweet with thyme;
Ye cannot find such blooms as ours
In yon bright foreign climep'
For me, thought, the olives grow,
The sun lies warm upon the vines;
And yet will arise and go
To that dear valley dim with pines!
Old loves are dwelling there, | said
Untouched by years OF change and pain;
Old faiths that had counted dead,
Shall rise, and live again.
And still "Return, return" they sung,
with us abides eternal calm;
In these old fields whers you were young,
We Gull the hearts lease and the balm;
For us the fiocks and herds increase
And children play around our feet;
At eve the sun goes down in peace
Return, for rest is sweet"
Then arose, and crossed the sea,
And sought that home OF younger days;
No love OF old was left to me
(For love has wings and seldom stays);
But there were graves upon the hill,
And sunbeams shining on the sod
And low winds reathing, Peace be still;
Lost things are fonnd in God"
