members, but it is generally believed
that the legislature will be about four

LAND TITLES.
An Opinion Rendered by u. S. Cir
cult Judge Ross.

LOS ANGELES, April 25.-An opin-
ion was rendered by Judge Ross in the
United States Circuit Court to-day in
the case of the United. States against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
D. O. Mills and Gerritt L. Lansing,
trustees, and the Central Trust Com
pany of New York. The opinion in
brief sets forth as follows:
The main purpose of the bill in suit
IS to obtain a decree quieting as against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
and its mortgages the cOmpainants'
alleged title to all of the odd-numbered
sections of land in California within
the indemnity, as well as primary linn
its of the grant made by Congress to
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com
pany Of date July > 1866, with the ex-
ception of certain specified sub divis-
ions involved in previous litigation be-
tween the parties"
The opinion recites that the title to
this land was fully settled by the opin-
ions of cases in this court and in the
United States Supreme Court. which
determined that the company by its
grants had acquired no title to any of
the sections made in the issue within
the bounds of the grant in question
