Tinkering With the Land Laws.

Washington special:-Maj. Strait is en-
gagged with Judge Edgerton and another
Dakota gentleman on a bill to remedy the
detects IN our public land laws, which have
been the source OF SO much distress and ap-
prehension to Western settlers oflate. The
aim is to secure the law and the practice of
the general land office under the law in re-
spect to the hearing of contests over en-
tries. The members OF the committee
who are here from Dakota will have sew
eral conferences vita Secretary Lamar
and Assistant Secretary jerks Before it is
introduced. The law is to be curative in
it's features, and is not to be subversive of
the present land system. The feature
which is OF the first Importance is that all
proceedings in entries are to be final after
the entryman has proved up, and can only
be opened by judicial proceedings in court
OF record. Before a final proof the
entryman will be required to give
six weeks advertisement OF his in
tention to do so, and name his wit
nesses. If the government fail to object
after this notice, the entrvman's title is to
be sale from cancellation by the land Office.
One proposition under consideration is to
subpoena Witnesses by the secretary OF the
interior in such cases. 1t is also considered
necessary that tribunal to be made up of
as good lawyers as are appointed to the
district court OF the United States should
be created as part of the interior depart
ment for the decision of appealed cases
which are now left to clerks who have not
the legal ability to decide them properly.

Capt. Howard Not q Sca1per,

Montreal Herald: Capt. A. L. Howard,
Q. s A., New Haven, Conn, has arrived in
this city. He is accompanied by his wife,
and they proceeded at once to the St.
Lawrence hall, where they will remain for
some days. A Herald reporter called
upon him regarding the charges
made against him through the columns
OF a city paper that he had, at
Batoche, scalped dead Indian. He said
There is not word of truth in the charg-
es made. The facts are simply these: On
the day following the battle of Batoche
on going over the field saw the body Of
young White Cap lying upon the ground
Knowing the Indian who was the son OF
old White Cap, head OF the Sioux tribe,
who had their reserve at Saskatoon,
where they lived since having been driv-
en- out OF Minnesota after, the ter
rible massacres there in 1862, 1 took my
knife and simply cut off the scalp lock as
trophy" This he exhibited to the report
er. 1t is q tuft OF hair, in which he tied up
two good sized eagles feathers, the trft
being bound about with long strip of
beaver skin, as is the habit with the Teton
Sioux. His act consisted in simply cutting
the hair from the head, and considers it no
more Of an indignity than the cutting of
locks OF hair as mementoes from the heads
OF dead friends.

Ihtrty-Seven Lives Lost.

An explosion OF fire damp occurred recent
ly in the shaft OF the Newburg Oriel Coal
company, at Newburg, W. Va, which shook
the buildings in the immediate vicinity, and
caused CONSERVATION and alarm am ong the
relatives and friends OF the miners employed
there. Immediately following the sound OF
the explosion a flame of fire arose far
above the mouth OF the shaft and timber
and debris OF all kinds were strewn around.
The theory advanced as to the cause OF
the explosion is that fire damp had &C.
cumulated in one OF these rooms and
was accidentally isnited by ~ miners lamp,
but nothing positive has yet been learned.
No one would venture in the main heading
to ascertain the fate OF the imprisoned men
until an air passage could be established.
1t is supposed that thirty seven men are
imprison The prevailing opinion is that
all are dead, although few express the
hope that some ofthem may escape the ef-
feet OF the explosion, and have been able
to reach a place from the fatal black damp,
which always follows an explosion OF this
kind

The general average of prices in this
country at the present time, is actu.
ally 90 per cent. less than it was in
1850, and accordingly the cost Of liv.
ing is one-ffth smaller than the rate
which prevailed in the cheap period just
before the war; the figures Irove such
to be the fact beyond question. There
isnot single article OF ordinary food
OR clothing which commands as high a
price as it did quarter of century
ago, when we thought things We're as
cheap as they could possibly be grown
Or manufactured; and the tendency
appears to be towards a still further
decrease rather than in the opposite
direction.

The secretary OF the treasury has re-
ceived a letter postmarkd New York, con.
tanning 81, 500 in United States note; OF
large nominations. all of which were cut in
two, with small pieces removed from the

empAatlcally denounced as untrue and declared
that England above all desired peace in the east.
The government had refrained from renewing
the crimes act in Ireland, because there had been
q prospect OF returning order In tnat country.
The experiment had failed, although every
chance had been given to make it succeed
Nothing, he said, could exceed the patience Of
sion OF peace. The disease existed in West
minister, and not in Ireland, and the government
must try to stamp 1t ont here. The words of
Mr.. Gladstone were answerable for many Irish
evils. Mr.. Gladstone had not spoken with sufl-
cien5 hrmness concerning the integrity OF the

Mr.. Gladstone said: aaa
The conduct Of Lord Salisbury in tie Roume-
liam matter was honorable to him and worthy OF
his name. and was a credit to England. The
opposition would render Lord Salisbury every
assistance and grant him every indulgence in
connection with the settlement OF the Roume-
liam and Burmese question In regard to Ireland
he wished the queens speech had been more ex-
plicit. BE was convinced that only the gentle
and concilatory handling OF the Irish question
would be etfectual. He had always strtven
to eliminate the elements Of wrath and passion
IN discussing Ireland. The exercise Of candor
and Justice could alone afford the smallest hope
Of solving the difficulty Whatever 1t may be
necessary to do tor Ireland should be done
promptly. In the name Of heaven let us main

Rev. Charles O'ReiIly, Treasurer OF the

ceived a letter from Charles Stewart Parnell,
OF which the following is an extract: Ihave
to thank you and through you the great
organization OF which you are the treasur-
er for the remarkable and most valuable
exertions which have been made for the last
few months in aid OF our Movement. Hadit
not been Tor the prompt assistance which
reached US almost daily from America dur
ing the progress OF the election campaign,
l fear mary OF our nominations must have
fallen through for want of iunds. The con-
tinued growth of the III movement throughout
the Union and Cunada affords us on this
side the greatest possible encouragement,
and we feel assured that nothing will be
left undone by America to enable us speed
lily and surely to win the legislative indie
pendence OF Ireland. Wishing you all the
happiness and compliments OF the season,
