The Cauadian suthorities —namely, the Mounted Police—are longing for tho time whon tho craving uf tho groat warrior for sustenance will force him to cross into the United States, either as n suppliant " or a bolligeront, and thoy bo once more rid of an unweleomo guost. The timo of his pilgrimago bitherward is believed to bo near at hand, Tho estrangowont which has existed be- tween the Germon Governmont and the ‘Vhtican is said to be about to oud by a com- promise nrranged between Drasauck and the Papal Nunclo, negotiations to this cud hav- ing been In progress nt Heidelberg for sev- eral days, Tho bosis of the compromise is reported to bo the grauling of mmmesty for all offonses committed by the Catholic clergy ngainst the FALx laws, oud the ro-os- tablishment of the orrangemont existing be- fora the rupturo. Shonld thie result of these negotintions prove n4 favorablo a3 is now an- ticipated, tho new Pontiff will have reason to congratulato the Church upon the mutaal- 1y satisfactory disposition of n grave and momentous controvorsy. Tho authoritios at Washington have ndvices fram the Mexican bordor which indicate that the Moxicaus are about to mako n show of resistanco to the pouwngo of United States troops ncross the Rio Grande fn pursuit of cattio-thieves. Soveral succesaful iucursions have recently beon made by the soldiers uuder Gon, Mackeyzie, sud Mexican dignity appoars {o have been wounded by theso fro- quent expeditions, It is not oxpected that anything vory serlous will arlso from the military preparntions now going on across tho border. On tho contrary, it is balieved that tho thieving bands which havo so long infeated that region will havo less chanco of success snd the nocessity for entening Mexiean territory be greatly diminishod if both wides of the river are patrolled by a sufliciont military force. The distillors in Chicago bave united ina lotter to Internal Rovenue Commisslorfor Tavn iu which thay make formal complaint of tho aerious disadvantago thoy labor under Ly rensou of the fact that highwines are sold in opon market in Cincinnati for four conts loss por gallun than the cost of production with the Covernment tax houestly and The Chicago men have been compelled to abandon the manufacturo of highwines, through inability to compote with a market moro favored jn the matter of the payment of the internal-revenuo tax, and are forced to oxport a large portion of their product, thus deereaging matorinlly tho rovenno realized by the Covernment from tox-paid goods, The facts and figures cited to show that something is rotten in the Cincivnati whisky business are such as to dewannd attention sud prompt sction by the Trensury Dopartmeut. I'here was a curious mixturo of souso and nousenss ju the views oxpressed by differ. erent porsons befors the Congressional Labor Committes yestorday, A Convecticut 1nan hailing from Daubury had a magniit. cent schiemo whereby every man who wanted it was to get 5,000 from the Goveruwment, freo of inlerest and without scourity, An- other Xearucyito duclared that machinery, being the cumsa of labor, should be erushed out, and gold and silver demonetized so ag to mske room for unlimited i sues of fiat mouey., Against tho prepoaterous theories of thosa two lunatics were offuct the eminontly sensible expressions of two other witnesses, one of whom thought the vause of the depreasion wii tho Wur, the over-issue of paper car- roncy, the extravagance caussd by the porind of inflation, und the high protective tarill; whilo apother, A blue-ribbon may, sttributed the existing destitution among labering wen to rum-guzzling ond beer-swilling, 1t appears that about 400 mon employed in tho lurge boot and slos wsuufactories of Chicago, known ay ** bottomors,” have quit work and eutered upon a strike bucauss of the refusal of their ewployers to advance Wwagys to u point whore it would be impossitile to cowmpete with Eustern maunufacturers and thoso iu thiy city who bavo prison contracts. The employers conseuted to an advance of 60 ceuls a cass for bottomiug boots, but cluim that they cannot continue manufaotur- fng sud pay tho increase of $1 demandod by thy striking workwen. If the botiomers succeed in their strike to the extent of & geoeral suspeusion of work among the large factorics, their success will jnvolve the throwiug out of employwent of 400 otber workmen who have no desire to ntrike. ‘The wages they conld oarn ut the edvanced sut sgreed to by the proprivtun same fivo yeans. three months’ eredit without intere addition, thera are the 3,000,000 ncres of State Iands for salo on ten years' time, and the 4,600,000 cres of railrond land on cloven yeary’ time. Al thisis in tho ono Htate of Kansns, In Nebraska, Minncsotn, and Da- kota, the lIands of all kinds—railrond, State, and public landé—are even of greater ex- tent, nnd, for the most part, all capablo of immediate cultivation, easy of nccess, with facilities ©of travel, transportation, and postal and telegraph servico wholly unknown to the peopla yet liv- ing who filled wup Ohlo, Indiana, THinois, Alichigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missonri, Dakota is twice the size of Min. nesots, and as Inrge as Illinols, Indianna, and Wisconsin, Kansas is twice as large as Indiapn, and Nebraska has about tho same dimensions.

E. The chnnges made in the geographical position of Enstern Europe by the treaty of Berlin are so considerable that the map nnd globe makers will shortly have to issuo new editions. The now boundaries of Bulgarin 1maay bo easily traced mpom the present atlas by reference to a few points. Commencing at Widdin, the Daunbe from there to a point alittle enst of Silistris makes tho north boundary; o line from thero south- onat to Mangalia on the Black Eea and the seaconst fo n short distance below Varna, make the onst bLoundsry, The upper short rauges of the Dalkans, as far ns Derbend, and then the main ravge as far na Ichtiman, make the south boundary, From thero the west line runs from Ichtiman past the south of Sophia up through Zaribrodz and Rakow- itzn to the Servian frontior, including an area of 23,000 quare miles and 1,800,000 popula~ tion, Iloumnnis gets 7,000 square miles in the Dobrudjn nud Deltn of tho Danube, but loses 3,800 square miles in Tessarabia ond abont 200,000 people, 5o that her actnal gain is only about 1,600 square miles of tor- ritory. Eastern Roumelia is o long poral- lelogrnmn, extending from the Littlo Knra.Su River to Burgns, on the Black Bea. Bosnia goes to Austrin, which gives her 30,000 square miles and a population of 1,000,000, nd besides this thirly square milles at the southeastern anglo of Montenegro, Servia secures the Iarger part of the Province of Nisch,—3,000 square rmiles,—and a popu- lation of 200,000, which makes hor prosout area 20,000 squaze wiles and Ler population 1,667,000, Montouegro gots n long narrow strip on tho gouthenst and the harbor of Anti- varl, sn aren of 1,h0D squarc iniles and a population of 10,000, which uow onlarges her area to 3,100 square miles and hor pop- ulation to 230,000, Busides hor future in. demnity, Russin receives 8,800 square nilos and 200,000 people tn Bessarabio, and 9,000 squara miles and over 500,000 population in Asin, It was generally supposed that Greeco was bardly used by the Congress, but skould the recominendntions of the Congress bo adopted—aud Turkoey will hardly care to dis- regard thoem—she will receive un area of not less than 5,600 square miles, which is moro thian Borvis, Roumanis, or Moutenegro, who hod to bear the brunt of war, receive.

The appearance of Keansxy in tho recon- structod Faneuil Jall of Buston, vverflowing with people, s cortainly a seusution sug- goslive of strong contrustd but that is absut all, IHis speech aud the account of its re- coption, Iuterlarded with aunotations of cheers and laughtor, produce no other ime pression o print than thut of infinite dis. guat ; iu this respect, too, it resumblos most otber trunsiout sunsations. The spocch was a composite perforinance, made up of some glittering genaralitivs, probably propared In wdvancs by KeauNey's raportorial sscrotary (und partly eribbed from Col. INarusows), along with the wan's own profasity aud coorvenoss, If anybody pauses to marvel over the mosale, bo will merely bo puzzled, 0s ju somw vthor cases of mosaie, o under. stand how poople cun be attraoted by such an exhibitfon, Nuvertheloss, a crazy persou, properly “exhibited, can goverally mnke s seusation in this conntry; in other countrios the polico usually suppress such exbibitions, 0f course tho burden of the speech was to show that every capitalist s a *thief,” aud every boudholder a *lecherous thief,"— though why a boadholder should necessarily bowmore “lecharous” than other capitadists Mr, Keanxky did not stop to oxplalu. The unewspapers were denouuced as yuu in the interest of-* cuttliroats, political bilks, day- light thieves, and midnight assassing,” and all because they report Keanxey's specches verbatin, and thus moke him familiar with thele gross vulgarity, Mr. Kranvex says he «can Lire & man to write Lim *‘u grunmatical speech” for §2.60 in greonbucks, which suggests tho anlent wish that he would uso 22.50 In this commendable fashion; but he ulso says that **it takes willious of dollass to buy an hbnest map, bo be aver so ungram. watical," which suggests that Mr, Keauxex's idoa of an honest man is not like that of the extinet Mr. Toodles,—* a wan that don't caro od—n,"—but a man who wou't sell oup cheap. What is Mr. KeasNey's price? And wouldn't ke bo dear at uny figure? 1t is not easy to come dowa to & practical, watter-of-fact way of dealing with Keausey, aro mnid to average $10.50 per week—n sam sufficient to nttract outside workmen not connected with tha strike, and fill the places of thoss who hava quit work. It wonld seem that under the circumstances tho atrike of the bottomers is nntimely and ill-advised, and must resultin a loss to the diseatisfied ‘workmon, ——p—— LANDS FOR WHOEVER WILL TAKE THEM. We yostorday had some comments upon the decision of Sccrotary Bcrunz directing that all tho lands donated by the Govern- ment to the Pacific Railrond Companios should hereafter ba open lo pre-omption and private entry at the rate of $1.25 per acro. This will open to private purchase abont 28,- 000,000 acres of Iand nj,$1.25 por acre. It ia supposed by many that these are the only Jands now obtainable, or that are open to occupation by purchase, pre-cmption, or under the Homostead or woldiors’ Inwa, As 5o mutch ia sald abont tha inability of poor men to get lands, we give as a matter of in- formation an abstract of the land laws ns they now stand. To understand this tho Lotter, it shonld be slated that in all tho granta of land to railronds the Government retained oach nlternate scetion of land, which scctions nre now and have always boen open to pnrchase and pro- emption at $2.60 por acre, Thero are sov. eral moden of obtaining Government lands ¢ (1) By purchase, by '* privato entry " or location; (2) location by Innd serip; (3) by pre-omptions; (4)by entry under the Home- stead law; (7) by entry undor the spocial homestend provisions in the case of soldiers of the Inte War, The proceedings in theso cases are A3 follows ¢ 1. Any person baving selected the land ho desirgs mnkes written spplication therefor, describing it, If this land be of the chame- ter open to private entry, his application is recorded, and ha pays the purchase money, 31.25 per ncre, and receives a patent there- for, Under this form the quantity is not limited, and thera nre 1o restrictions as to occupation or cultivation. 2, Congress lins granted ot various times land Lo States for colleges and other institu- tions, and scrip has Leen issued therefor, which may be located on any land subject to private ontry, The warrant or scrip is nccapted in place of the cash at fho rate of $1.25 per acre. 8. The pre-emption privilego in restricted to the heads of families, widows, or single men over 21 yoars of pga, citizons of the United Btates, or who have taken stops to bo naturalized. 'This right extends to 160 acres at 21,25 per ncro on general publio lands, or at £2,50 per acro on the alternato scotions of laud nlong tho railrond routes. The person must go npon and occupy tho lund, and within three months file a declaration of his purpose to purchnse that quarter section, and within thirty months, or two yoars nnd six months, thoreafter, must file proof of his oceupaney ond saottlement aud pay the prico thorcof in cnsh. In caso the sottlor dics liefore maturing his claim, all his rights suc. ceed to bis widow or heirs. Actual settle. ment is the essontinl featura of this privi- lege, there being & credit of tlurty-throe wmonths for tho purchase moucy. 4. Tho Homestead law gives tho right to enter, free of charge, on any land open to purchnge, 160 aeres; Lo or she must bo 21 years of age; tho hend of o family, a citizon, or intending to become one ; ho mnst declore that thecutry is for bis or lier exclusive Lenefit, and for actual settlement and culti- vatfon, At the end of five years settleinent aud cultivation upon proof thereof, and pay- ment of the office fees, the person is entitled to o patont therefor. 'The applicant for n homestead cau scleet 160 neres of apy land, the cosh price of which is &1.£5 per acro ; or e mny tako eighty ncros of any of tho resorv. ed land, tho cash prico of which is §2.50 per acre. 5, Al the provislons of the Homoatond law aro extended to. overy soldier and officer of tha army who served not less than ninety days during the late War and who was Lon. orably discharged ; the differonco being that hio 1mny select 160 ucres of any land, includ. ing the reserved lands, the cash price of which is $2.50 per acro, sud the time of the servico in tha ormy shall by deductod from 1he period of five yoars, required in all other ensed of homestead, for sottlement and oul- tivation.

When ho tries to talk senso to his honrers, he finds it necessary to travel back to Californin, and the issucs thero havo heen so distinctively Tocal that they do not help him as an advisor of the workingmen of Massachusotls, All this wo bave explained before. But it was very funny that he shonld reconnt how tho California workingmen had been decoived in thie politicinns nud demngogues whom they elovated to office for n time, and how they had only found relief finally by throwing ovar the political bummera aud electing nono but ** poor, obscure artisans " to office; all this wns exceedingly fanny in viow of the faot that Mr. Kxansey's mission to Massa. chusetts is to help elect Brn Burren Clov- ernor of the Btate,—a man who, o far from belug a " poor, obscure artisan," is n blonted capitalist, n *protected ' manu- facturer, and a politieal bummer. What was not go funny, howover, was Keanxer's ouw. phasized advico to the workingmen *to pool nll your issues aud put them all in one pot™ ns o cortain moans of success, with the an- nouncement it it would bo timo enough for thom to determine swhat thoy would do after thoy had thus caplured the State. From a partisan point of view, Keannex's .advice in this regard was certainly shrowd, though, fortunately, tho advico is woro dife ficult to follow than to give, for no factions aro moro obstinate in their theories nud hobbies than tho factions of so-called work- ingmen In polities. Thore is cortainly reason to appreliend that if tho workingmen wero united, and conld agreo to pool their side- issuos nud cover them up, ' as Keane Porrer Cormittee, aa the story came to him fromt tho person whom Mr, Mannre thus tried to “influenco.” THE CONCERT-SALOON WAR. Our Mayor is at prosont sorely tronbled on account of his undoubtedly well-meant offorta to serve the public good by suppress. ing what is commonly called *‘concert-sn. loons.” Thera can be no donbt astothe perpicions influence which theso places, swhose propristors eater to the lowest and most, senaual tastes of their patrons, exert in the community. They are on ountgrowth of the bratal conception of pleasure that pro- vails in frontior life and in miners’ camps. A civilized community, and a centre of Lusi- noss and the higher aima of life, like Chicn- go, caunot suffer cntertainments that lower instead of clovata the participnnts, and such are deaidedly the mafority of the concert. soloons which the Iate order of the Mayor suppressed.

It in going too far, howover, to treat all vlaces of publio entertainment alike. Thero are places, and drinking places, too, in this city that do not desorve to be classed in the same category ns theso low dens which min- ister only to dopraved tastes and tend to promote crime nnd disorder.

No one but the most radical and fanatical prohibitionist will deny that the Tuouas concerts of lnst year, in the Exposition Dullding, with their sonsoning of beer and jomonade, have dono o groat deal to incresse sociability among Americans and to refino their tastes, ‘Why, then, should places of pablic resort, where musio isused to influence overy vis- itor to bo congonial and social, be put under the same ban n8 places where tho vilest mix- turo of tones and indecont cxposures of femalos are employed to inereaso tho con. sumption of vile drinks, aud to produco spirit of recklossness and disregard of all doconoy ? 1f & lnrgo saloon is cstablished hore for the exclusito uale of beer, and its propriotors provide for the ecntertainment of their guosts an wnusually expensive orchestrion whioh discourses good music, it should ba encoursged Instead of porscouted, especially if it is shown that its patrons are respecta- ble and orderly citizens, and that the place fs mnpaged with a viow to fur. ther congeninlity and guod fellow. ship.

THE FIEND OF THE PEACH-BASKET, Upon tho top of hot wenthor, tnxes over- due, Commnunists, Loy fover, rendoring. bouse stinks, mosquitoes, nnd other nui. sances, now comes tho peach-baskot with its customary load of fraud, rottonness, and general dopravity, only thore §s more do. pravity to the bnsket than ever beforo, ‘Thore is hardly a peach-basket in Chicago to- day that doos not contain a lie, a swindle, and more or leas of cholern morbus, Thero is hardly n peachi-baskot in Ohbicago to-dny that docs not show o Inyer of handsome fruit on the top, mado all the more attractive with open-work covera that give you glimpses of red and gold, or with piuk and red gauzo that sots off the fruit as o lace veil heightens the illuslons of a pretly fuce.

THE TILDEN CONTROVERSY, ‘We have no disposition to cnter in detail npon the controvemy preoipitated by Wat. riusoN and Mewrtr over TiLpes's responsi- bility for his own misfortunes. The subject has been rovived in o long lotter from Max- ToN MARDLE to tho public, in which ho takes sides with WaTTzrsoN, and produces a num- bor of lottors nnd tolograms, along with his own account of Mr. 'I'sLpey's attitudo and sontiments, to show that tho latter nover approved, but rather gondemned and op- posed, the Electornl Commission sohome. Aftor dovoting more timo to the roading of tho lottors on both sides than the snbject warrnnted, we have como to the conclusion that Mr, TiLoe, with his usunl careful do- liberation, detormined to so conduct him- s¢lf ng to throw tho responsibility upon others in caso tho Commission should decido ngamnst bim, Ib wos o caso of Hlonds, I win; talls, you lose.” Had the Commission schemo resulted in tho seating of Twex, this controversy would never lavo brokon out, and Mr, TiLbeN, as Prosi- dont, would qaiotly and gracefully have re. coived the congratulations of the country upon his personal cousorvatism and magua- nimity in aubmitting tho disputed titlo to arbitration in order to avold possible revolu. tion and civil war, As the result was tha rovorsy, it is now Mr, Trpen's intorest to rid hiwself of all responaibility for tho un- successful offort to reach tho White House, and Mr. MaxtoN Maunie's rovelations and documents nt hand show that TiLpEN had propared the way for doing this. At the same time, it does not appear that Alr, TrLoeN had any othor plon for taking care of lis Prosidentiul interests than (hat of proorastination Ly debate aud forcieg the Republicana to fall back upon the letter of the law, in the hope that thoy wonld not have the moral conrnge to misort and mnain. tuin their rights, Whether or uot Mr. Tiz. veN would have had the coursge to organize or lond n resistauce in such an ovent, is doubtful at the lonst, In spito of tho avidont partiality for r. Tiorx which bas prompted Mr, Masnre to publish this lottor (probably at the instance and uuder tho direction of Mr, TiLpEN), Wwo may doubt whotler the publication was well- advised. 8o long as Measrs, WarTensoN and Hewrre woro firing papor bullets at each other, with the mutusl understandivg that 1o other kind of hullats were to Lo used, the affair. might have boon regarded ns a porsonal dispate, but Mr. Mannie’s letter draws the line strongly between two fuctions of the Democratio party,—the T pex faction and the antlTitueN faction, Aud now the fight will go bravely on. 3r. Tiepexy will lsbor under. the nocossity of continually defending and justifying his course peuding the couuting of tho vote, ond bo will not bo able to mako out that Lo was eithor & magnanimous sud patriotio American in advising snd urging compro- unge, nor yot thut he was a groot aud vallaut leader, counseling his friends to stand by what they couceived tobe their rights, and prowising to conduct them to victory, Thus he will stand belween two fires,—one coming from that largo faction that belioves constilutional compromise was the only peaceful fusuo out of tho trouble, sud the other from the faction thet wauted tho oftices at any cost, The situation does not seems to be pecullarly favorsble to Alr.

A large part of it s devoted to the alloged fraudu- lent methods of the Republicans in influenc- ing the Returming Boords and local politi- clans of throo Bouthern Btatss. We mercly wish to submit that this does not come with thio best of grace from a gentleman who is sud to bave approached Dexxis or McLaw, or some othor oue of the ‘‘aguo-stricken Parishs ¥ of Florids,” and to have told him that he would bo taken care of baudsomely, or words to that effect, in case Mr. TiLvEy wure counted iu; yet this way the purportof GQen.
