Good of Thousands of Settlers.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31,-Facta
coming to light show that the President did
not accept "General" Sparks resignation
anytoo soon for the good of the Democratic
party. He treated every man with whom he
had dealings as Commissioner of the Land
Office as II he were q robber or q thief. He
never wrote to an agent without bitterly
criticizing his work. In the workings Of the
general Office here he displayed great lack Of
executive ability. He did not know how to
distribute his force of subord;nates so As to
make them effective, MOI would he ask for
an increase of force, and the result Is that
the work there is far behind. In the divis.
ion of contests, q division which he himself
created, there are to day some 1000 cases in
which there are no appeals, and with these
alone the off, &c is nine months %behindh.nd,
while in appeal cases, of which there are
some 5000 awaiting disposition, the clerks
are At work on cases that should have been
decided two years ago. The claimants ghn
suffer by reason Of these delays are, for the
most part, poor people who have taken up
land under the homestead law, who are
struggling to get q foothold in the unsettled
parts Of the country, and are greatly ham,
percd by reason of the Withholding of pat
ents to their homes. In many cases they
are anxious to realize upon their land for
the purpose of raising the means to make
additional improvements, but as much as the
action Of the general land Office throws the
land upon their titles, aud they experience
great trouble. It was asserted at the time
Sparks went out that he had been insubor-
dinate to Secretary Lamar. Ample evidence
to this effect has been since discovered. A
large number of railroad cases, in which the
Secretary had overruled the decision of the
Commissioner, were set aside and were off,
cially promulgated. !
Acting Commissioner Stockslager is get
ting into better shape. Contested cases
alone are now being disposed of at q rate
fully as fast IS they are received, and it is
The intention of the acting commissioner to
still further add TO the force upon this class
Of work in the hope Of repairing some Of the
mischief done by Sparks and catch up with
delayed cases. Congress will, too, be asked
TO grant an increase Of the force in different
divisions, so as to bring the affairs Of the
office, II possible, down to date.

THE POPE in . recent interview regretted
the position of France with regard to christ

to the fold. He laments the revolutionary
spirit fomenting in many states and is pre-
pairing two encyclical letters dealing with
socialism, the license of the press and the
great power Of universal suffrage, which he
considers terribly menacing. These letters
are likely to attract much attention in the
political world, as they treat on important
themes.

Gloom in Europe,

IlOOm IN Europe.
LONDON, Dec. *31.-With the exception OF
the Pail Mall Gazette, all the London dailies
and weeklies insist that the year ends in
European gloom. The Spectator declares
that there is now less reason than ever for
believing that peace on the continent is pos.
sible. The Saturday Revse,0 generally com
mends the Germany policy, and says that
Germany and Austria have been studiously
peacesb'e for twelve years past, meanwhile
suffering constant merace from Russia.
Bismarck, who has become nervous over the
persistent strain, is tired of The suspicion
that has arisen, and although the powers
proffer peace, is not averse to embracing the
present opportunity of war, and in this way
settle the vexed questions.
The Recieao sees q single tangible peaceful
glimmer in the decision of the Gear to per-
NIT the publishing of the forged documents
in Berlin.
1t is rumored to. might that the Imperial
New Year speeches, at both Berlin and
Vienna, will partake of q moderate and
hopeful tone, as far as concerns the Car,
and that they will afford material assistance

The policy Of President Carnot is also
upon as being pacific and helpful.
The refusal of Frederick William to agree
70 the regency proposal, in the event Of his
Fathel's demise, is embarrassing to the de.
of Bismarck. The Crown Princess
will not listen for q moment to the regency
question, and, in fact, opposes Bismarck in
almost all of his plans that relate to her
husband.
