support Of the common schools and to
establish better system Of instruction,
has passed the Senate. The money is TO
be distributed according 10 the illiteracv
OF the States, consequently the State
having most neglected her educational
interests in the past will receive the most
Of the money, and as it is generally con
sfacrpd that on acconnt of the negro
population of the South, that those States
are the mcst illitelate the most money
will 60 South.
The money is distributed 10 the S ate 8

of ten years snd.over who cannot write
bears to the whole number OF such per.
sons In the United States according to
the census OF 1880 until the census OF
1880 shall he iaKen. The money is 10 be
paid out during period OF eight years.

CLEVELAND'S FIRST VETO.
He Squelches the Bill to Quiet the
Title of Iowa Settlers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March n.-The
President ,-dav returned to the Senate
withcut his approval the bill to qui,t the
tile of settlers on the Desmoines river
land in Iowa. The President in the
veto message describing the nsture of
the proposed leeis ation says that every
possible question that ought to be raised
in any SUIT relating to these lands has
heen determined by the highest judicial
authority. and if any substantial point
remains unsettled he believes there is no
difficulty 10 Lting it 10 The proper
tribunal.
The President continues as follows:
1t seems to me that all controversies
which can hereaft- arse between those
claiming these lands have been fairly re-
mItted TO the State of Iowa, and that
