There is no reason for "dread and
apprehension" on the part of the
people of the south because of the
election of Gen. Harrison. 1t is true
that republican rule in the south IN
the reconstruction days did lnJure
business, but there is no reason to
faar a return of that period. In
fact the people of the south never
had two ADLER allies IN shaking OFT
reconstruction than the republican
presidents, Grant and Hayes. Did
not the south develop and improve
very rapidly under Hayes,
Garfield and Arthur? 1t is true
that we have had even greater I'M
provement ard development under a
democratic administration, but there
is no reason why mere change IN
administration should come like a
"rude shock" So far from the elec'
ion having any bad effect on buSl-
ness there is every reason to believe
that the south is about to enter upon
a new and glorious career of indus
trial progress and development mot
because of the election of Harrison,
but because all the conditions are
favorable to it. 1t would have come

DAKOTA AT THE DOOR.
Mr. Platt Tells Why the Territory
Should be Divided.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-In the Senate
this evening the unfinished business was
taken up, being the bill to provide for the
admission of the State of Dakota into the
Union, and for the organization of the Ter
ritory of Lincoln. The substitute reported
from the Committee on Territories TO the
original bill establishes the boundaries OF
the proposed State, and designateS the re-
naming portions of the present Territory
as the Territory of North Dakota mot Lin
colin with Bismarck as the capital.
Mr.. Platt, chairman of the Committee on
Territories, said that the bill was one of
four which had been reported by the Com
mittee on Territories for the admission of
new States 1t provided for the admission
of the southern part of Dakota, under n
constitution already formed. The other
three bills were enabling acts for the Terri
tories of Washington, Montana, and the
northern portion of Dakota.
DEFENDING THE NAME.
Suggestions, he said, had been made
against the use OF the names OF North Dakota
and South Dakota. The conditions were such
that the name of Dakota could not be taken
away from either portion of the territory
without injustice, and without doing vio-
lence to the feelings and wishes of, he be-
lieved every inhabitant in the territory
To give some other name than Dakota to a
portion of the territory would be something
like the authorities of town going into a
family and insisting on giving TO its members
other names than those they had received
from their parents. 1t would be as unjust
as to attempt to change the name of North
Carolina or South Carolina. The proposed
State of South Dakota had population of
400, 900, and he thought they had right to
H. al, TOD toto in lima 10 fs.f
pate in the next Presidential election.
TWO LARGE FOR ONE STATE
The present Territory, Mr.. Plattsaid, was
too large for one State. It was 4S0 miles
long. from north to south, and 400 miles
larger than England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales and aside from its non-commercial
qualities) capable of sustaining as large a
population. The area of those countries
amounted to $4,000 square miles, that OF
Dakota to 149, 900 It was as large, practi-
cally. as the States of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia
combined as large as all New England,
New York and New Jersey; larger than
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois combined. The
proposed State of South Dakota would be
II, 600 square miles, and that was certainly
large enough for an agricultural State. AS
to the suggestion made at the last session
that the cutting up of the Territories into
numerous States would convert the Senate
into a mob, he replied that it was better
that the Senate should be SO enlarged as to
represent the popular will, and to feel the
popular pulse than that State should be
admitted so large as to have an abnormally
large representation in the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Butler obtained the floor, and the bill
went over till tomorrow.

UNEARNED LAND GRANTS.
A Bill Calling for the Forfeiture of
100000 Acres

5O,OOO,OOO Acres
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The House Com
mittee on Public Lands has instructed
Chairman Holman to report the bill declar-
ing the forfeiture of all the unearned rail
road land grants opposite those sections of
roads not completed in the time mentioned
in the granting acts. Four bills have
already been reported by the committee de-
claring forfeitures in the cases Of the Hast
ings and Dakota, OntOnagon and State line,
Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific rail-
roads.
The bill agreed upon to-day is intended
to cover all the unearned railroad land
grants not included in those measures, and
the committee estimate that tho land recov-
cred under all of the bills will amount to
50,000,000 acres. Grants of lands made
under eleven acts are proposed 10 be for
feited by the general bill, as follows:
To Florida and Alabama in 1856, TO Ala
bama in 1856, TO Wisconsin and Michigan in

HALF A LOAF FOR EACH.
WHY SAVANNAH HARBOR IS
DOWN FOR ONLY 100000.

The House Committee Adopted the
Fifty Per Cent. Rule in Dealing With
the Estimates for the Waterway
The New 29-Foot Scheme Not Con-
sidered Opportune Just Now.
WASHINGTON, April 9-Congressman
Norwood received to-day a letter
from the Savannah Harbor Commit
tee as to the prospects of obtaining a larger
appropriation for the harbor Speaking of
it tonight, Mr. Norwood said: early in
the session introduced a bill appropriating
$6OO,000 to begin the $4,000, 900 2S-foot pro-
ject. The bill was referred to the River
and Harbor Committee. Together with
the delegates sent here by Savannah, went
before the Committee and urged the incor-
poration of that bill in the River and Har-
Dor bill, offering even to forego the appro-
priation of the $500 estimated to be
necessary to finish the 22-foot project if the
Committee would give us the first appropri-
alton for the new project. | afterwards
urged the matter on theCommittee privately.
CLOSED DOORS.
"When the committee came to make up
the bill they shut everybody out, and did
their work under an injunction of secrecy.
They heard nothing and told nothing.
When the bill was made public | went to
the members of the committee and told
them that Savannah wanted more than
90,000--that she wanted the new project
begun with an adequate appropriation. |
told them | would attack their action and
try to amend it in the House, or, failing
there, in the Senate.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE SAYS.
GETbarr oaiI in, ra,Nlry hot bax hoA
the best possible for Savannah The bill
had necessarily to be a large one this year
They did not feel that they could put 5000,
900 In it to begin a 50, ,000,0O project--a
project to cost more than any other except
the improvement of the Mississippi and
Missouri. which would benefit twenty
States. They feel that it would be best to
provide for the old project first.
A 80 PER CENT BASIS.
The appropriation they put in for this
purpose was so per cent of the engineers
estimate, the general average of the appro-
priations being but rs per cent. of the esti-
mates.
Charleston's estimate was $3.50, 900, and
her appropriation $3.50, 900; the Winyah
Bay estimate was $500, 900, and the appro-
priation 800, 900; the Cumberland sound es-
innate was $500 900, and the appropriation
$112, 500: the Galveston estimate was 81 ,000,-
600, and the Appropriation $500, 900. New
York harbor got 80 per cent, but Harlem
got only Sl5O,00O on an estimate of $500, ,0O0
WHY MOBILE WAS FAVORED.
Mobile got $250,0 on an estimate of
| S440, 900, but that was because of her cry
ing need-her channel having only depth
of from 1515 to IL feet, compelling the use
of lighters for twenty-eight miles, In
other words, having $40, 100000 in the esti-
mates, the committee, in order TO avoid a
veto, appropriates one-half, or between
ST., 900, 900 or S2O, 900, 900, of which Savan-
nan gets her full share. OF course shall
try TO have it increased, but you see the
committee has something to say for its
action

MORE HoNoRs FOR CHAMBERLAIN
The Devonshire Club Entertains Him
at a Banquet.

The DeVOnShir0 Club EntertalnS Him
at a Banquet.
LONDON. April 9-Earl Granville pre-
sided at a banquet given by the Devonshire
Club tonight in honor of Mr.. Chamberlain.
Many members of the House Of Lords and
House of Commons, including Lord Hart
ington and Mr.. Childers, were present Earl
Granville in proposing the toast of the even
ing. said that he was glad to be able to con
graULlate Mr.. Chamberlain on the result of
his mission. His (Lord Granville's) strong
est political conviction had always been the
Importance Of maintaining good relations
between Great Britain and America.
Although he had been subject TO the
strongest attacks for his share of the re-
sponsibility for the Alabama settlement, he
looked back on its results with the
utmost satisfaction. 1t was certain that
if England had broken off the Alabama
negotiations they would not have been
assembled there to-day to congratulate Mr.
Chamberlain ON having brought his task so
nearly TO a successful issue. IL was a mat
ter Of satisfaction that the whole Liberal
party could on this occasion unite in con-
graduating the Conservatives ON having
adopted the liberal policy of conciliation
and friendship toward America.
oHAMBERLAIN's REPLY.
Mr.. Chamberlain upon rising to reply
was loudly cheered. He thanked the com
pany for the warmth of their reception of
the toast in his honor, and said be appre-
ciated fully the unique character of the
gathering. He was glad to see SO many Of
his old colleagues from whom he had been
temporarily dissociated He gathered from
their presence personal regard and good
will, and second that every EHglishman
worthy Of the name sympathized with the
objects of his recent mission. Remarking
upon the change of public opinion during
the last century, he said IL was curious to
look back to the sincere opinions expressed
by statesmen and writers at the time of the
civil war and to note their fears lest Ameri-
ca should become a great and aggressive
power, dangerous to the peace Of the
world. 1t was ludicrous TO contrast
the results as they knew them
with the fears of those too timid politicians,
and as to the introduction of American in
stitutions into this country they all knew
that America had developed a conservatism
which must be the envy of many people in
Great Britain. He spoke strongly in favor
Of confederation of the colonies, and again
expressed his hope that the fisheries treaty
would be ratified
Lord Harrington, in replying TO the toast
''The Club" after expressing satisfaction
in welcoming Mr.. Chamberlain, said that
they would be proud if the club, which had
been created at n moment Of depression
in the party to contribute TO the restoring
of it to power, should be able to add the
still greater honor TO its services of con-
tributng TO IA reconciliation Of the present
unfortunately divided party. This gather
ing would nave beneficial influence in
their discussions.
