Blame and bheruian are tbe most prominent men mentioned in connection with the Presidency. Sow, in talking of Sherman, I will say that he is a strung man in the party. His views are liberal ami broad, and be is fully equipped for tne nigh offlt-e of President stitulu he be by the people.

But while Sherman is a sale, conservative leader, yet would not arouse that enthusiasm that Blaine would. It we eon down to the tne point, you will discover tbat the mas ol the Republican party prefers Blaine." Vbat will make op the issues next year!" The tariff will be the leading one.

13. George TV. Julian, Surveyor General of New Mexico, baa bis annual report to the Commissioner the General Land He states tbat demand for public surreys in the Territory is constantly growing. He it of the opinion that the Department should encourage the immigration now going on by a more liberal policy touching the public surveys than now prevails. Tbe retort states that during tbe year elgl.ty-one mineral surveys have been approved, as against forty-one of tbe preceding year, which tends to show a greater activity in developing tbe mineral resources of tbe Territory.

Mr. Julian states that from an examination private land claims ma le up to tbe date biS lat annual be found that l.tiui),-08 acres bad Leeo unlawfully reserved for entry under the fublie land laws through tLe of invalid titles and frouu-lent surveys. He tlnds that, in the rases since examined, tbe government has ien defrauded to a still more shocking extent. Ibe ljitaui-a grant, he says, which was approved lor acres is fraudulent and void, and this large area has been appropriated to private uses without warrant of law. lie thinks also that three-quarters of a million ot acrts of tbe WS.aiU acres approved the Socorro grant is illegally included in tbe claini.

Tue aggregate of lands illegally withheld irom settlement in tiie caes examined and re-examined within the pust year, be thinks, would be little short of 4.lMt.M arre. He calls attention to ilia maladiiunis ot tbe laws in the grouts airettiiy comirined by Congress, and states that he is now encaged in a resurvey ol tbe ttran ts still unpatented with the view of axing their true uwntiaries, and in this way be is of the opinion tbat large tracts will be restored to tue puolic domain. he itat that be has recommended suit for the recovery to tbe Government of more than acres in the Arnienuaries grant, which is in excess of the Truara. Ibe same rpcomuieiidnt.ou was made in the Amarilla graut. lie aisn thinks tbat there should be judicial examination of the Mora grant.

The rewirt calls attention to the action of Congress in IN) and the Interior Department in in tne famous ilaxwvll land-grant cae, which he characterises as "a wanton fcftind shameful surrenuer to the rapacity of monopolists of acres of tbe public domain, on which hundreds of poor men had settled in good faith and made valuable mi-' provemeiiu. It has been as calamitous to New Mexico, savs the Mirvevor General, as it is humiliating vo the United States. The report states tbat during the last Congress several members of ibotb bouses, including the delegate from this Territory, reported bills tor me confirmation of the butorro giant, which ia one of the most shocking ot tue many attempts yet made to piumiLT ihe public domam." i i.e estimates of the cost of carrying on tbe ollice for the next year is eOd.UW), of which 15.0U0 is tor clerk hire.

WXIEBB IS THE YACHT THISTLE? Loxpox," An. 13. Special by Cable.y Tbe Government is again in a bad bole. After agreeing contrary to their own convic tions, as Salisbury distinctively said, tbat tbe Land Bill should become a law in a cer 'tain form, tbey have allowed the House of Lords, in Harcourt's words, "to stab their own measure in the back," and last night tbey attempted to thrust its mutilated corpse upon Commons. This was too much for everybody.

Parnell declared be was inclined to think tbe amended bill would not be worth having at alL While oue leading Liberal Unionist was making a stump speech for tbe Government at Xorthwich. Us colleague in Commous was declaring the alteration was about the strangest, even the maddest thing that could have been permitted. The point at issue in Lord Cadogar's amendment wrill be remembered, as it specifically authorizes a reduction of present rents only in proportion to tbe fall in prices. Even Clssmberlain found himself unable to swallow this, and buzzed about the House like a butterfly for some time. He first entered into an animated talk with Halting ton; twice conferred with the Ministers on the Treasury bench; visited in turn, almost all bis friends in tbe House, en 1 finally got bp and declared that be would oppose tbe amendment.

Tbe Government, although i tbey bad already reiused, at Parnell's request, an adjournment until Monday, now, to save tbeir own necks, proposed adjournment until Thursday. So the matter stands. Chamberlain's threat that during hu visit to Ulster early in October bv.wili expose some members of tbeir own countrymen is i received with immense amusement. I learn liar court will go to Ireland the same time as Chamberlain, and after the latter baa fired his machine guns at Belfast, the former will slash him with a broadside in Dublin. TORPEDO BOATS WORTHLESS.

The second sot of naval maneuvers have supplied more evidence of tbe failure of torpedo boats to do what is expected of tbem. The French torpedo boat, it will be remembered, broke down at Tonlin at the firtt et of the maneuvers. Tbe torpedo boats were disabled one by one. Expert opinion is to tbe effect tbat no single torpedo boat in yesterday's attack would have fired its charge or escaped capture or destruction. The official umpire may take a more hopeful view of the extraordinary preparations being made by tenants and police for tbe coming fight oyer evictions at Michaels-town, ou the Countess Kingston estate.

O'Brien is there, making far from peaceful speeches. Every oue expects, when the fight does come, it will cast Bodyke and Cod-graney in the shade. Last ni-ht Irish leaders were discussing the probability of O'Brien's speeches either precipitating tbe proclamation of the National League, or causing his own arrest. TO CROSS THE OCEA.f IX A BALLOOX. Capt.

Javin gives in an inkrview to-day the dethils of his proposed attempt to era- tue Atlantic in thirty -six hours. "This voy- i age will be made in a balloon twenty-seven yards in diameter. It will have a cajacity of about 0,477 cubic yards storage. The bug will be constructed with three thicknesses of material. As.

to the fitting of tbe car, I shall leave nothing to be desired. We are going to start trom New York, aud expect to cross in thirty-six hour. That will be a rate of between sixty and seventy miles per hour. The Meteorological office will advise us of tbe approach of atmospheric perturbation. 'We shall put off in this, aud expect it will carry us into coasts of Europe, upon the theories of Jules Verne.

We are calculating On profiting by tbe rise an 1 fall of tbe barometer during tbe storm, also by the fall of the thermometer. which takes place during tbe night, to arrest tbe Alteration of gas, and thus enable us to save Our ballast. We intend to start wkli two tons and a half of ballast. Allowing for the use of a quarter of a hundred weight per hour, we should have a large stilus in case of emergencies. With our new balloon of 8,000 meters we could stay aloft for days.

We do not intend to make a high ascent. We shall probably make the (wssage at the height of from 8U0 to 1XAJ yai us above the sea. It is impossible to say when we will t-tart. We may have to wait till the disturbance which may be expected to cross the Atlantic and pass along our coasts." It is generally believed Lord and Lady Aberdeen intend to publish a book on thrir latest travels, which will not be without certain political interest. Tbe story of Zebebr Pasha's life, as told by himself, is about to appear in the Contrm- porary lirriew.

The first installment will be given in September.

Vehkoic. I.vd.. Aug. 13. Special.

Several weeks ago Harrow Post, No. 491, O. A. of this city, at a regular meeting adopted, by a unanimous vote, a series of resolutions denouncing in 6trong language the actions of those men which bad caused the President of the United States to withdraw his acceptance of tbe invitation to be present at St. Louis during the meeting of the Rational Encampment.

These patriotic resolutions were published in almost every leading newspaper in the United States, and were very generally approved by loyal citizens. However, the republican members of the post, it seems, were given to understand tbat something must be done to counteract the effect of the action taken. It would never do, according to tbe Republican idea, to express sentiments of loyalty to tbe Uovernment while a Democratic. President presided. Accordingly, a plan was decided upon, and under the leadership of oue Oliver C.

Terry, a Republican blatherskite, wbo was one of Dudley's bench men in tbe Pension Department, whose services were with by. the present Administration, a set of resolutions were intro-cucid and adopted at a meeting of tue post last nignt, stating in effect tbat the previous resoiutiotis adopted were out of order and improper, and loilowed by a very large amount of stuif to be used for the benefit of the Republican party. Tbe meet-in was very excitable indeed, and at one time came very near breaking up unceremoniously. To put it milder, it is characterized by many members of the post as Republican mass-meeting on a small scale, and bas created a general feeling of uisgust among tbe Democratic members of tbe or-ganuustiou here. be end is not yet.
