Paul ond the McGregor & Missvurl Railroad Companica over tho Innd-grant lands, amounting to about 112,000 acres, has been decided by Land-Com- miaatoner Williamson, at Washington, In favor of thé Chicago, Milwaules & 8t, Paul. In 1904, Congress granted: to the Btate ta ald in the building of a railrond fram Sfoux City to the Bouthern Minneeota tine,and from McGregortoa . point in O'Brien County, whero ft intersected the ines from Sloux City, ant aluog the forty-third parallel, cach odd-nuinbered acetion of land, for a width of ten sectiuna, along each sido of rald roa. | Tins rant ‘wna necepted by the McQregor & Western Ituil- roatt Company. The grant compelled te Com- pany fo bulld twenty miles of road cach year, and {fit falled to do this the State had power to resume the Iaud. This Company, before Sey temiber, 1885, built the road to Calmar, forty: three miles; but February, 1868, the State re- sumed the grant, and iu March of that year re- granted the lindato the McQregor & Sioux City Rajiway Company, conditloned that twenty infles of road ahould be bullt each year, and the whole réad completed before December, 1875, The. name of this Company was soon after eQanged to McGregor & Missouri] Ratlroud Com pany, In 18d8~"i0-"70 MeGrecor & Mis- sourt Railway Company built from Calinar to ‘Algona, 180 miles, und ceased operations, there- by forfeiting their grant. In 1870 the Levisla- ure resumed the lands «and regranted then to - the samo Company, on certaln conditions, whitett the Company tailed to accept. The luatacsslon of. the Lecistattira tho grant was again resumed, Jands granted to the Chieago, Mitwan- kee & St. Poul Railroad Company on condition that the rond was tobe built from Algoua to Shel- +don, in O'Brion County, within two years, ‘Tho Company accepted the grant, und oullt the road, the firat year, thereby more than fling its eon- tract. Gn making application for tts lande, it was discovered that the McGregor & Missourt Raltroad Company had jumped their claim, and ad on file a claim dated March 23, 1771, for about 112,000 acres lying west of Algoun, or along the road built by the Chteuzo, Milwankee & St. Pant, and set up that they have the right under the erant of 1894 to 100 sections of lund for e¥ery ten miles of road, and that theymay be selected anywhere within the lim- its of the grant; end further that the right to this land vested on thy completion of eah ten aniles of road, hence the lund so corned ould not be resumed by the State, ag {t had uo title . thereto, Now, it should be remembered that when this frant was made the country along the eastern halt of the linc was thickly settled and Was poputious, nnd alfordud abundant local a audition thereto local oid or subsidies were giver, Along the western half there were no avitiemente, The grunt wag mado for the pur- pose of developing the country. There was not «ot the tine the grant was made cnourh unoe- eupled lind to give the hundred scetions for wach ten infles of road slong the entire Iine. ‘the question, therefore. was, whather tt was reasonable to suppose that Congresa would give a bunus for buving a road ina settled country Where it was invited by loval ald and encourazed, by local oid, and expect that portion to be bunlt without a bonus where there was no loval trade, nor local ald,—or, in other words, whether the grant was not in terms co-terminus, nnd = \ Rpplicd ty each ten miles of road a3 completed, That the land must be taken from the ten- antiga Umit along the road actually built. Com- missioner Williamson takes the co-terminus new of the case, and holds that under See, 1 of the grant of 1864, which saya, “Every alter. nate section designated by oad numbers for ten yections Jn width on each elde of aald road,” the right to the land does not inure any faster Hunn the road fg built, and then ft te only vo Jind on cach side of the road. Under this con- struction he holds that the land west of Atzona Uclongs to the Chicago, Milwaukeu d& St. Paul, and will be patented+to the State for that Comes pany. He alyo holds that the McGregor & Mis- Bonti Railroad Company can only take Intl earned accordime to the miles it built, and not. hands earned by miles built by any other Gom- pangy—tmt fe, the lands earned by cach Com- any Will be certified to such Company only, ‘his decision will iuterlere somewhat with sone . bf the land-urabechemes of the MeGrepor & Mis- sourl and the old MeGreaor & Western, which were ventilated fu this correspondence in ‘THe "TRIBUNE n lew years go, dt is pleasing to lows people to know Uiut Mr, Witlamson is redeum- “ing the Department over whieh he preeldes fram, the very bad character which lis predecessors isd sumehow entailed upon it, ff he will tn rome way stop the further certification of Inuds tothe ald Des Molnes Valley Railroad Com- punt.

Referring to the pollticat stutus of the negro, Mr, Davis enid that the freedimen had waturally , been mlsied by the pollticiana, thinking, a3 a inatter of course, ithat Northern nen were thelr truest friends, but of lato veura thera was nde- % elded change in their feellnyzs, nnd they seemed to have reached the opposite conclusion,—thit f their beat friends were in the South, where thelr homes were, and in the tong ran, it would. be found that the nevro, haying but little real sell. * dependence, would vote in necordanve with the (4 Wishes ond sentiments of thosu who emplosed 5 Kin. For this renson he thought the negro vote i would be a leas lnportant factor in the politics Of (he futwre than Nordiern men supposed, Referring to the oft-refterated churges of coercion nud bulldozing of the ogre voters in some sections, the ex-Confedernto clilef said he | had no doubt thas there wero tndividuat in- * 4. stances of crnotty aud coercion on the part of * lawiess.men in some sections, but he belleved + the prevailing sentiment among Southern men ‘was ong of the greatest kinduvss and good-will toward their former slives, Ho mentioned * suveral Instances of frleudslip and devotion on the part of freedmen to thelr former masters to show Unt this kindly fceling was reeiprocal, and narrated several ‘anecdotes itlustrative of their fidelity during the War to the familles of - their masters, which showed their remarkable qualltics of affection und gratitude, £ the timo of my Interview tha recent at- tacks upon Mr. Davis by Mesers. Hoar, Blaine, and Chandler in the Senate ling not been made, and he spoke without any warmth of feeling whet your correspondent led thy conversation to national ntfulra. He said ho accepted the sit- ¢ uation us decided by the arbitrament of the sword; that he was very hopeful of the future of the country; that lie did not betleve thera Wns any existing cause for sectional cstrange- ment, or that. thora could be any hereafter, In discussing thts tople, he tated rather ag f spectator viewing things ns from ao distance, tn whieh he lind” pelther part nor lot. Ho said ane of the resutts of the War already apparent was that the South was ieas de- pendent upon the Nurth than heretofore, for while sho would supply the great surplus of cotton, rico, and sugar as before, the people had Degzun to produce u greater vurlety of crops for their own use than ever before, and they would. eventually compete with other sections In man- ufnatires and the mechanic arts. In thls cone uectlon he remarked that, while the South was | destitute of money and the yaluo of real estate was creatly depressed, in 2 very short ‘time the price of landed property would advance because of ita futriuale value inthe prociuction of ataple C ir li it articles of. commerce, Poluting tu tha Wf rich: sugar ‘plantations on oth sides of the Lower Mississippt through which to were passing, hu snid that before the |, Fs War they were valued nt 8100 per nere; since then they could rarely be sold for $10 per nere. Before the War the Southern States produced nearly one-half the sugar and molasses con- autmned in the country; now they were produc- ing only about one-tenth of the supply, and he could not doubt that belore many years the pro- duction would far exceed any pravious results. Nie fad thit, althouh Cuba lad some ad vantages over Louisiana, tt was his bellef that under the new system of pald jabor In connec- tlon with the fmproyed machinery recently tne troduced, Loulalana could euccessfutly compete with the augar planters of that island, During ove whole conversation Mr, Dayls made no reference to any private grievances or to any suctional topics. Ithe hud any opinions ¢ as toa #Solld South” he withheld then from your correspondent. If te favored the proposed {f subsidy for the Texas Pactile Raflroad, he bud fe nothing to say upon the inutier; but apon the tt cenoral subject of internal improvements he ex- ureased a wish that Congress should do more than ft has yet dona or propose: to do to pros tect the bauks of the Mississippl, in the interest. of agrleultura und commerce, Mr. Davis fs 71 years ofage.
