In the act of Congress, July 1, 1852, under which the lands were granted, it was provided that the land not sold within three years should be sold to settlers under the pre- emption law at $1.25 per acre, the money to be paid to the company. The railroad was ae- cepted as completed in 1872, and much of the land still remains unsold. An attempt to fil ‘aratory statement upon certain lands o the kind suggested in Kansas was denied by a former Land Commissioner and the Ac.in Secretary of the Interior on the ground that the condition iu the aet is a provi: unning with the grant and beyond the jurisdiction of the Land Office. The present Commissioner of the Land Office sustained these rulings in the case of Dudymott, and the case was ap pealed to the Secretary of the Interior, wio how reverses the decision of the Comm er, and throws open the land to settlement at $1.2 ‘re. An elaborate decision is given. fully reviewing the matter in all its phases. Reference is made to the intent. of the condi tic rted by Congress, which was to. pre yent “a monopoly of indetinite duration is shown from’ a efreular, issued by the Land Commissioner of the company in 1373, that it was understood by the railtoad th: the lands were to be open in Is at $125 peracre. ‘The Seeretary says: of the opinion that, his (Dud: S) applic: tion should have been received by the locai oticers, subject, however, to the’ condition thai it"be made to appear before final certith eate issued to him that at the time hi ratery statement was filed for said ts” said comy d not sol or disposed of the same,” and also “the sae and disposal of iands in the condition of those ap- plied for, if unsold at that time by said com, iS clearly within the jurisdietion of ce like other lands.” “While fur isiation md advisibie, it is bsolutely necessary.” Full direetioas are in the decision or the method of pr he land offices in th 1 offices of lan flings conditionally from qualified nptors, and on such declarator sare To eal r. ad com to show whether th plied for or not: if not, U elaratery statem be allowed subject to a ints showing f compliance with the preemption law. it also suggested that a separate account be Kept of the mone from the sale oi such lands in orde it may pass tothe | compan The course above Sugzested in reference to such lands, will be followed in the Dudymoit case. The fecision of the Com. missioner is consequently reversed, The Washington Monument. The preparation of a plan for the strength- ening of the foundation of the Washington monument is tedious work, and necessarily requires considerable time. Col. Casey and his assistant, Capt. Davis, have proceeded so far that, though they have not completed their ork,a general idea of the plan which they ili submit to the joint commission for their approval can be given. Competent authori- | ties have given the opinion that the base is not suficiently strong for the monument to be completed to The recent ious made by Col. Casey | corroborate this opinion. Itis known that the base is perfectly able to sustain the monument | in its present condition. The pressure now upon the elay below is five tons to the square foot. If without in any way fixing the base the pile should be run up te. 900. feet, the pres. | sure per square foot would be about eight tons and a haif. is it is unable to. plan is to So Sirengthen it that wh reached the pressure shall renia is—tive tons to the foot. In order to do the base will be extended side a distance to be determined by ea! tions not) yet completed. It” is also | proposed to” extend the’ base down. ward. This does not. however, mean the undermining of the whole monument and the downward extension of the whole base. It is intended to make such extension un the four sides near and not under the whole base. The depth of this extensi not yet been calculated with exactness. crete is to be used in ¢; ing out this pa the plan. Although the ofii such haste as can be mad requires So much exactuess, it may be the lasi of August before work is com d. The nas it now hit of the present. superstructure. which is 4 feet square, is 174 feet. The amoun: so far expended is $251.00, and the amoun appropriated for its completion is $250,000, The m nent will be finished in he blocks of erystal marble from Maryland, laid in courses of about two feet, and backed to the required thickness with gneiss to make the inner sur- face vertical the outer face receding at a very slight angle as it rises so as to give the form of an obelisk, The interior of the monument will be provided with an iron stairway to en- able persons so desiring to make the ascent. Colonel asey estimates that the monument can be carried to the proposed height within two years. DECISIONS ON THE NeW Army BILL.—The Attorney General, being applied to for a de. cision on the subject, decides that under the new army Dill retired oficers are not, as has been claimed, entitled to allowances for fuel. He has aiso decided. that under the same bill the clause authorizing the qnartermaster’s department to sell wood to officers on the active list at $3 per cord does not allow the sale to them of coal at a correspondingly cheap rate, THE Lively Contest 1 GINIA DISTRICT.—Ata md Orange Court House, Va point delegates to the ion, a resolution to appoint delegates op. posed to Hunton was adopted by a vote of 16) to 12 whereupon —Huanton’s friends seceded, and the meeting ap pointed delegates solid for Neale.
