TBS PUBLIC LANDS AND THE PEOPLE Publio attention is increasingly awakened to the important question of the disposition of the public lands.

The anti monopolists have made large use of the argument that the lavish endowment of real estate conferred upon the great railroad corporations has net been earned and this is literally true to a considerable extent, although there is a weighty influence in favor of allowing tne grants already made to stand. For example, take the case of the Northern Pacific; its land grant is nearly fifty million acres but up to June 30, 1880, it had earned and received patents for only 746.509 acres, and had forfeited 48,215.040, every acre of which it will doubtless receive. But the road will be completed this year, and for twenty years men have been investing their money in it on the strength of its aggregate advantages, of which the land grant was part. In those davs, however, the publio do main appeared inexhaustible. No one thought to live to see the time when it should be appreciably measurable, when deforestation should become a national transgression, and when we should begin to wonder what our children would do for farms.

We have in all 2,291,376.333 acres. Of this, the public lands owned kby the nation (excluding that owned by various States, as Texas) amount to 1.814.793,938 acres, of which up to June 1882, the quantity surveyed was 831.725.863, considerably less than half. Yet so generous and so liberal have we been in every conceivable way with our land, that the Government receipts from land from 1796 to June SO, 1883, had been only $212,519,322 95. To show the disproportionate cash re sult to the nation, notwithstanding the merely nominal prices charged by the Government, we compile from the report of the Secretary of the Interior for June 30, 1882, the following, tabular exhibit of acreage disposed of during the preceding twelve months. We excluded duplications, such as result from final completion of transactions begun in former years, and set down only original business Cash Sales.

Internal improve ment Donation claims swamp lands Total for year 1881 83 13,998,780 The Chicago Tribune reproduced the map from Justice referred to by the Picayune recently, to illustrate the land grants, and accompanied it by a narrative of the grants occupying nearly ten columns. Beginning with the grant to the Illinois Central Railroad in 1850 and ending with that to the Texas Pacific in 1S71, it reports that the total appropriation covers an area as large as the thirteen original States. We are in clined to regard this as an exaggerated statement. A table published in the congreesional proceedings of January 11, 1882, shows, about 127,000,000 acres granted to corporations, the forfeiture of which was proposed. The Tribune publishes a statement of the estimated area in each State and Territory granted to States and Territories and corporations, which foots up only 154,067,553 acres, and is perhaps approximately correct.

The figures of Justice, which we recently published, are midway between the extremes, amounting to total of about 180,000,000 acres. Unquestionably, however, the result which the State of Texas has already attained by lavish policy, will speedily accrue to the nation. Texas has an area of 175,587,840 acres, and has thrown it away so thoughtlessly that it is doubtful whether she can put her. finger on an acre of land belonging to her not covered and more than covered by outstanding warrants. We should remember that much of our land is not available for agriculture, and after subtracting useless land, and grants and reservations, it is questionable whether we have so much left as would "make another State a big as Texas.

At the rate it is being patented by Government, it will all disappear in about fifteen years, that is within the life of the present generation. We may, therefore, fairly begin to be prudent in its disposition. The agitation of the land question by the anti monopolists may have the good effect of instructing us to the real facts in the case, of breaking up our large notions of an illimitable domain, and of enabling us to exercise greater precaution in our future legislation. One good result is likely to come quickly that is the repeal of the pre emption laws under which so much fraud has been committed. Capt.

Eads's Resignation. Col. Henry Flad, President of th Board of Publio Improvements, has received a let ter from Capt. James B. Eads, in which the I aistingnianea engineer lnxorms mm of bis intention of resigning his position on the Mississippi Biver Improvement Commission and suggests that CoL Flad apply for the position.

He gives it as his opinion that the Colonel would receive the appointment, and in case the latter desires the place he win not tender his resignation until the Colonel is ready to send on his application. Col. Flad says that he will act on Capt. Cads's suggestion and apply for the position. He has already been promised the indorsement of several leading citizens.

CoL Flad's engineering abilities are well known all over the country, and although he will be a new man upon the commission ha will be at home, as he has given considerable study to river Improvements. Mr. Randall O. Gibson, the President of the commission, is said to be in favor of Col.

Atlanta Journal: Frank Wilkeson, the mendacious correspondent who has been writing Southern letters to the Yew York Sun, says 'There Is, too, a misty Idea that the Northern troops carried a great deal of valuable personal property out of the South In their Ihis Is a mild way of putting it.

Isaac Quintard, father of Bishop C. T. Quintard, ef Tennessee, died a day or two ago at Stamford, Conn. The New York Tribune says he was eighty nine years old, and was born In Stamford In the same house in which he died, being the son of Isaac Quintard, of Revolutionary fame, and a grandson of Beth Palmer, one of the largest real estate owners in that part of Connecticut.

During the greater part of his life Mr. Quintard was a grocery keeper In Stamford. At tbe death of his grandfather, Beth Palmer, he Inherited his property in that village, tbe large farms adjacent going to other heirs. The reason assigned for this was that Mr. Quintard, when a young man.

was considered rather wild, and, as a punishment, he was given what was apparently the least valuable of his grandfather's property. It subsequently proved to be the most valuable, being situated In the heart of tbe town. Mr. Quintard was the father of E. A.

The house was a small frame with only two rooms, in one of which he lived and wrote. This study was about fifteen by twenty feet and lighted by a couple of small windows.

From the floor to the ceiling his books rose in a solid wall of quaint and curious literature. The floor was unearpeted in one end of the room was a small rickety table where he wrote. Near it was a little bit of a musty stove in which he made bis tea and cooked his fru gal meals. At the other end of this extraordinary place was the recluse himself.

A Scotch parson said recently, somewhat sarcastically, of a toper, that "he put an enemy in his mouth to steal away his brains, but that the enemy, after a thorough and protracted search, returned without anything." SPIRIT OF THE LOUISIANA PRESS The Baton Kongo Capltolian Advoeate In sn uncommonly, thoughtful article points ont the Bepublloan strategy of remaining passive and letting the Democratic party shatter Itself to pieces by failure to agree on a definite policy. That it is a real danger to the Democracy is plain and incontestable, and our contemporary observes that the vis lnertlae 1b publio sentiment may retain the Bepublicans in power for another term unless the Democrats can provide a popular issue on which to appeal to the people for a change of administration.

It says: "There is such an Issue, tf the Democrats could waive some prepossessions and adopt it as their weapon of offense. That is the entire abolition of the Internal Revenue Bureau. It would be popular among all classes who are vexed by tne arbitrary in terference or this bureau in tneir Dusmess, and all who desire to return to the simple ways oi tne Jiepuouo oerore tne war. it would be popular especially with the classes who believe that Federal taxation should be used as means for protecting American, industries. The Dronosal of such a policy would be certain to Introduce ele ments or aiseora in ine nepuuucn parry, and there Is little doubt that the protective sentiment in both Ohio and Pennsylvania would carry It triumphantly through in a popular canvass.

With Pennsyluania and Ohio certain for the Democrats, their success in the campaign of 1884. would be aesurea." It says of the State Superintendent of Agriculture and Immigration "Our Immigration agent. Hon. Wm. H.

This is the most important work that our next Legislature will have before it, and the press of the State should unite in vociferating the urgency of this necessity, and in insisting on the selection of members of the Legislature who will pledge lueir motji earnest euora to promote tius policy."

The Morehouse Clarion energetically urges the planters of Morehouse parish to 'stop and think a little before they are irre trievably ruined by the system of raising all cotton and buying supplies. It says "The farmer these days is never asked to sell his cotton, except to tbe man and by the man whom he owes fer supplies fur nisnea to maxe tne cotton. Tnerarmer's cotton crop is not priced by the man who makes it. He meekly asks what he can get ior it.

xne corn ana meat ana wneat sellers put and fix prices upon their products: tbe cotton sellers we mean the men who toil and sweat to make it have no voice in fixing piicrs. They are tied hands and feet they are absolutely and bodily at the merer of tbe men who speculate in and manufacture tneir cotton." It declares that the cotton planter admits the facts "Ho curses the prices and the cotton raising business heroically, and then turns over his rich lands and plants them in cot ton seed. He swears at the prices of corn end bacon, and then forthwith mortgages his cotton lands and cotton crop to some merchant or factor for corn and bacon, hich his better Judgment teaches him to maze at none." A communication on the French side of Le Courrier des Opelousas, urging tbe plant ing of mulberry trees and cultivation of silkworms, has an appendix giving comparative calculations on tbe net profit to be derived by one man's labor from various crops. The figures are said to be the result of statements by the oldest and most expe rienced Inhabitants of the section, and of responses to above fifty letters addressed to all parts of the Union and they show that the crops named rank in point of profit In the following order: I Jute 3 tobacco; 3 potatoes 4 corn 5 cane 8 cotton, the last being the least profitable.

Certain railroad suits for the expropri ation of right of way, have been instituted in Natchitoches parish. A juror, one of the picked and Intelligent citizens, all land holders, trying one of the cases, thinks that the land in controversy should be valued in proportion to the amount given in on the assessment roll. This view the Ouachita Telegraph controverts. It says In some cases, a plantation would be benefited by a railroad, and hence there wouia do no vaiue to assess wnue outers the damages by excavations, ditches and location of the railroad line would result in disfiguring and disarranging the entire place, especially If it should be a small one.

Foreign Steamshfp Inspection, BCXJES TOR EVTOROX8 THE KIV PASSKIT GKK STEAMER LAW. Secretary Folger has issued a circular promulgating the law governing tua inspection of foreign passenger steam vessels, and prescribing rules for carrying them into effect. Tne following are tne mi Tea Rule 1. Applications for inspections must be roaae in writing by the master, owner or agent or. tne steamer to oe inspected.

Rule a. Collectors of Customs are direct ed to notify all foreign passenger steamers on arrival, which have not already been in spected in the United States, to make application for inspection as soon as possible axter arrival, so tnat no unnecessary neiay may occur to prevent such steamers from sailing on regular time. Bole 3. Collectors of Customs will Ornish every such steamer with two pamphlet copies oi tne foreign steam vessel inspec tion act; aiso two copies oi Ruies ana Rnle 4. Special Inspectors will, before granting the annual certificate of inspection to any foreign steam vessel, require such vessel to be placed in dock, so that ail parts of the hull may be properly examined, provided, however, that such docking may be omitted upon satisfactory evidence that the vessel has been docked within the previous twelve months under the direction of the underwriters or of the agents or officers of any foreign Government authorized by law to make examinations as to the condition of the hulls of steam vessels.

Rule s. AlLthe apparatus for extin, quisling fires of steamers Inspected must be horoughly tested by the Special Inspectors at the annual examination. Rule 0.

In the ordinance to be siibmittedtO thOoun. il on Tuesday night by the Crescent City Railroad Company, asking for the privilege of extending the Annunciation street line down Char, tres street, tbe company proposes to give to the city SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE YARDS OF REGULAR SQUARE STONE PAVEMENT IMMEDIATELY, to be laid wherever the city may designate. The company also proposes to take up the square stone pavement in front of the courthouses and Cathedral, on CUartres street, and in front of tbe Custom House on Decatnr street, and relay these entire sqnnres with the NOISELESS TRINIDAD ASPHALT PAVEMENT.

ao that hereafter neither congregation nor courts will be annoyed by passing vehicles. Th company also proposes to make the fare cents for. tbe entire distance between Louisiana Avenue and the lower term inns of said extension. As the Council under the new charter has full control of the streets and all the raUroad tracks thereon, and as the city is in great need of immediate improvement, and as this extension would have been sold by the last Council bnt for the action of the Syndicate, upon grounds that do not now exhtt, it is hoped that the Council will giant the extension, regardless of the captions objections of those who oppose every new enterprise, or of silly threats that reflect upon it. mh25 3t "STOCKHOLDER."
