The only contest, aside from a trifling one over the chaplaincy, was for the election of doorkeeper of the House. Ali the other old officers were elected by acclamation. A violent opposition had sprung up against Mr. Donelson, the principal Teason for which was preseated in charges against hie moral character and the management of his @Mfice, which, in the opinion of certain members, ified him for further honors at the hands party.

And we must do it,orat least ean honest effort to do it. With an united, narmoni- ous democratic majority it ts im ple for us to fall, Whe without such a Majority it is impossible for us to succeed, of at least success would be ex- tremely doubtful, It is, therefore, of the highest ortance that we should reconcile, if possible, ‘all differences of opinion among ourselves before engaging in acontest with the common enemy. If we can agree among Ourselves on essential points ‘we can weil afford, in view of the critical condi- ton of the country, to poscpon» discussion of iminor matters until @ more appropriate time. ‘This course, seems to me, is demanded by the highest considerations of party expediency and ‘the public welfare. OTWER NoMMNATIONS. Gen. Jno. B. Clark, jr., of Missourl, for clerks; Mr. J.P, Leedom, of Oso, for sergeant-at-arms; and ‘Mz.

In speaking of the adjustment of the Omaha Raliroad grant, which was the cause of the rupture between himself and ex-Land Commissioner Sparks, Mr. La- mar says: “The question presented and decided in that case was whether that particular granting act by Congress in that case allowed indemnity for about 62,000 acres of swamp lands and about 9,000 acres included within an Indian reservation. ‘The exact phraseol of the indemnity granted by that act was for lands ‘sold, re: Or oth r- Wise disposed of.’ The Commissioner held that swamp lands and reservations did not fall within that ‘The Secretary held that they did 80 fall.” REPEAL OF THR PRE-EMPTION LAWS RECOMMENDED. The report makes the foilowing sugzestions rela- tive to land legislation: “I respectfully but ear- nestly reiterate my advice that you recommend the immediate and totai of the pre-emption Jaws, the timber-cuiture and the relinquish- ment acts, and add thereto the casb-eniry laws and the desert-land law. Preferring @ tentative and gradual system of reform, I have hitherto sug- amendments to these two latter, but te jure of Congress to make such amendments, and further experience of the injurious effects of thelr remaining on the statute book in their pres- ent form has convinced me that all except tne homestead law should be swept from the statute book. Moré than a quarter of a century has elapsed since the passage of the homestea Tig operations, at least during the last meth the eu lands, embracing ali the advantages of the pre- emption system without its acknowledged facilt- ‘es or fraud and abuse. My idea would be a short act repealing those laws by enumeration and pro- viding that the lic land subject to disposal beent exclusively under the homestead lu ~e Repl eee lends and oe maube topertice” some specific laws applical lar sections of the ‘country, should be saved from ‘the operation of the act.” ILLEGAL INCLOSURES OF PUBLIC LANDS. ‘The report states that 465 illegal inclosures of public land by corporations and individuals en- gaged in the cattle business on the plains have been reported to the Department, aggregating in area nearly 7,000,000 acres. In 138 of these cases, involving 3,275,000 acres, proceedings have been instituted, and ip 165 cases the special agents re- tal sete veers pee or cree legal fences, throwing open to public ecupancy 3,304,000 acres. In addition 1,500,000 neres of wabiie land in New Mexico have. been re- stored, e retary of e Incl now being made within the Fratiroad limits by pur- chasing odd-numb ‘red sections and including all the intervening sections. He suggests two plans for remedying this evil. The first is to enact @ bill establishing a public highway around, four rods wide, every section of land, the section ‘lines being the center of such highways. Make this a part of the pubilc land system, so that all future entries made upon the public lands suould be sub- Ject to this provision, ‘The second plan considered is torough the ‘ge Of a Dill to authorize the ‘Secretary of the Interior to leuse the intermediate sections: Ga mee jand to the owners of the adja- cent railroad sections, PUBLIC SURVEYS AND PRIVATE LAND CLAIMS. ‘The Secretary renews the sugzestion made in his Jast annual report in favor of the enactment of a law making false and fraudulent returns of public surveys a penal offense, and providing also penal- Ues for the willful destruction of removal of sur- monuments. He concurs in the recommen- dation of CA Uren noe Lot asi er] of €300,000 for executing pubiie su: and in addition urges an appropri tion Of $200,000 not asked for by him, to specially devoted to the survey of lands within the granted and indemnity Mmits of the different land-grant railroads, ‘The report recommends legislation in the matter of private nts Claimed to be derived from the Spanish or Mexican governments, Which should be directed to two points: (1) to providing for a trial and final determination of such clafms, subject only to appeal to the Supreme Court; (2) an act of lumitations barring the presentation of pew claims of this character within a stated period. The Sec- retary is of the opinion that the most desirable and effective manner of ing of them would be through the Land Department. Provision ‘should be made for an appeal to the Secretary of the Interior, whose appeal should be foal unless an appeal be taken directly to the Supreme Court of the United States, x ‘The report urges an appropriation of $50,000 for completing the survey of tae “public land’ strip,” and that Co: Should authorize the establish- ment of a land office within this strip and the lands therein at some central and accessible point, subject to settlement under the homestead laws, with the commutation features eliminated. The territory should also be placed under some political organi 80 taat civiland criminal law may be properly administered therein. He suggests that it might be made ji ofthe Territory of New Mexico, a8 it 18 not enough for a sepa- Tate Territory. THE CONDITION OF THE IXDIAXS. ‘The report treats very fully the condition of the Indian tribes and states that the five civilized trfbes of the Indian Territory embrace a popula- tion of about 64,000; the six nations of New York number 4,962 and about 19,500 Indians are scat- ‘ered over the public domain. Of the remaining 173,600 Indians about 58,000 wear citizen's clothes wholiy and 10,500 of their children are in ‘Sel ‘The Secretary reiterates the conviction expressed ia his last apnnal report that the In- diaa race bas reached a crisis in its history and ‘Unat the only alternative presentec is absolute ex- tnction or a quick entrance ito the pale ot American civilization. The Speaks of the made in allotting lands in severalty to Tieindians under the recent act of ‘Congress, and says that this statute Is aed a general nat- uralization law for the American Indian. The re recommends the compulsory education of all indian youth, PENSION RECOMMENDATIONS. In addition to the suggesiion made by the Com- misstoner of Pensions, the Secretary states that is attention has been called to the fact that, un- der existing laws, dependent orphan children of deceasea soldiers, who may be entitled to pension, Cannot have such pension continued beyond the age of sixteen, regardiess of their puystcal or men- tal condition. There are a few instances in wiich such children are (physically and mentally) ut- terly incapacitated for earning thetr own itvel and in instances where it is made clearly to ap- pear that the conditton of mental imbecility or in- Sanity, Or such feeb.eners of mind or boty, exists as to make these children utterly helpless for earning their own livelihood, it seems right that pension suould be continued to them fora longer Period, The Secretary further suggests that wid- ‘ows who may remarry, and who may subsequently become Widow's, ur be divorced Without fauit upon tuelr part, should have their pensions revived to them tor the period of suca second widowhood, THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION. ‘The report recommends that the Interstate Com- Merce Commission be authorized to report di- rectly to the President; to appoint its own ofMicers and employes, 2nd to draw upon the Treasury for the ment of the salaries of Its subordinates as. Well as for all expenses incurred under the act. LOCAL INSTITUTIONS. Tn regard to the instruction of the blind, the re- port states that during the year thirteen blind per- sons from the District of Columbia were under in- struction in the Maryland Institution for the Blind, at Baltimore, admitted by authority of this Department, as provided in section 4869 of the Revised Statutes. The cost to the Government for each pupil ts $500 per year. ‘The Secretary recom- Inends that the appropriation for tue education of Indigent, feeble-miuded children of the District of Commbia at Elwyn, Pa, be increased from $2,500 to #4500. There are eight children now in that institution trom the District cared for by the Gov- ernment. The bao asked for in the an- bual reports of the various charitable insUtutions 4M this city under the supervision of the Interior Department are favorably mentioned by the Sec- retary in his report. eS Liquor Licenses.

In this manner he managed to accumulate some- Uning hear 30,000 acres of valuable farming lands, mostly 1m this county. Col. Bean was very reti- cent regarding his family relations. He had very few cunildential friends, and to those with whom ‘he Was intimate he scarcely went further than to ‘ell that he had no near relatives living. It was current rumor, however, that the colonel’s father Was buried in this city, having died about the year 1845. ‘The local gossips went further and stated ‘hat CoL Bean had two brothers, one or both of Whom Went to California, subsequent develop- ments proved that these rumors were not without foundation, as the statemenis were proved at the Tecent trial in this city. ‘When Col Bean diéd temporary administrators were appointed by the court.
