$18 GENERAL LAND OFFICE, STARTLING DISCLOSURES. Wow tho People Are Plundered by a Secret Ring {mand Around the General Land Office—Mil- Hone of Acres Given Away—Tammany Out- d@one—Unlawful Decisions Sought To Be Legalizsd by Congress—The Way It Is Done—Two Hundred and Thirty Miles of Railroad and Twenty- five Million Dollars’ Worth of the People’s Land Given to Jobbors, Wasnmearon, Deo. 18, 1871. ‘While the Treasury and whiskey rings at Wasb- ington and the Tammany Ring in New York have Deen pretty thoroughly exposed, there has been & well organized ring of land jobbers in and around the General Land Oflice, who have been quietly plun- @ering the people of millions upon millions of dollars. Ovccastonally a solitary job has been exposed, but ‘the Ring tteelf and 1s general operations have not ‘wntit now seen the light of day. A SAMPLE JOB, In the nineteenth section of the act of July 2, 1844, Oonwress granied to the Barlington and Missouri * River Raliroad Company for the extension of itd road irom the Missouri River te Fort Kearney— a distance of 20 miles—ten alternate sevtions per mile on each side of the road and along the line thereof, not sold, reserved or disposed of, and to which neithcr homestead nor pre-emption claims had attached at the time the line of the road was fixed. This grant is expressed in words similar to those used in many other Fatlroad grants, but omits all provision authorizing ‘the company to indemnify themselves for the loss of such odd-numbered sections, within the granted mits, as may be found to have been otherwise dis- poued of; and the designation of laterai limits, or Ahe limits to which they are restricted in the selec- tion of their lands, 18, thongh plam enough to any honest mind, not quite as strongly expressed as in most other grants. lo the foliowing year, after the company had fied the map of their route, they ‘laimed that under this law they were not limited toany particular distance from the tine of the road in sclecting the teu odd-numbered sections per mile on cach side tuereof, but that they might select them at apy distance [rom the road that it was necessary to go in order not to cunflict with the claims of seltiers, and to observe the other exceptions of the law. Tos claim of the company was allowed by Scuretary Harlan im 1866, and he gaye them permission to select their lands accordingly, At che time Mr. Browning succeeded Mr. Harlan as Secretary of the interior “the Railroad Company had, uader this coastruction and autbority, listed about three nuilion acres of land tm Eastern Kansas aod Nebraska, and when, shortly aiterwards, tue Commissioner of the General Land Ofice asked Secretary Browning for instractions as to how far out the even numbered sections must be Increased to the double minumum, or $2 60 per acre, the answer of Mr. Browning was that bis-pre- Gecessor had misconstrued the grant; that it only extended ine rigut to twety miles from each side of the le uf the road, aud that in the absence of &n Imdemimifying clause in the grant the company was ented only to such odd numbered sections Bot otherwise disposed Of and not exceeding ten per mile on either side, as might be tound within that distanco; and that the double minimum rate to the even sections would not accordingly extend beyoud such limits. This latter and just construc: 4iou gave Lhe company only about half the quantity of land that they would have obtained under the lormer, or something over a mfilion and a half of Acres, bul yet more than sufficient to accomplisp dhe purpose Oi the act, as will hereaiter appear. THE COMPANY SUBMITS. Ittsa point of mnch significance that the company were so weil satisiied of the correctness of Mt.

Yououama, Nov. 2, 1871. In Japanese affairs the only matters of interest are the arrivals of several Daimios.at Jeddo and the currency question, The Daimuos are assembling. at the order of the Mikado, ‘Twelve of them arrived yesterday from Nagasaki and the intermediate ports. The object of wheir assemblage is to personally surrender to ‘the Mikado all the fendal rights they still possess. When, sIx months ago, the first change was made— their conversion from princes into chihanji—it was found that it was merely @ nominal one; that as governors of the provinces where they had always possessed and exercised feudal rights they were enabled to do exactly as they had done beforc—bo almost Independent of the central authority. ‘The idea now is to make of the Japanese princes an aristocracy asit exists in England—princes, i you like, but possessing no military authority or territorial rights, except those conferred upon them by the Imperial Master. It is supposed by some people that when they are all together strenuous opposition to this plan Js to be evinced. But Iam inclined to tuink that the change will be made, and made quietly and peaceably, and if any opposition js shown at all 1t wili come from those whose efforts at opposition will provoke laughter at their ansig- nificance. FINANCE AND THE CURRENCY. The curreacy question ts really a troublesome one, and affects foreigners as well as Japanese. Six Months ago the Mexican doliar was worth in pa- per currency four boos; to-day it 1s worth but three, By imperial proclamation the new yen is equal in value to the Mexican dollar; but although the Mint isat work night and day coming the new specie currency it cannot be bad, and is at a large premium over Mexicans. Tue consequence ts that very little business w done, and still less will be done unless the government take decided steps to give us a uniform currency. TRADE.

THE SMALLPOX IN BROOKLYN. The epidemic with which Brooklyn is threatened, if, indeed, it may not be said to have already set in in good earnestness, is certainly alarming. Yester- day the Chief of the Ambulance Corps, the untiring and intrepid sanitary oMcer, Haltday, removed seven or eight cases of smallpox to the Flatbush Hospital, On Saturday five and on the day pre- vious twenty cases were removed. ‘There are, of course, many down with the dreaded, disnguring and loavisome malady whose circumstances admit of their being quarantined in their own houses, and such patients are not required to be removed to tie hospital, ‘The actual extent of the disease cau, however, only be estimated at present, The Health Omficer, Dr. Cochran, who ts untagging in his per- sonal efforts to beat back the advauce ol the small- Pox, finds himself unaided by the authorities up to the present, being without funds to employ a special force of yaceinators and assistant inspectors, Which he deems necessary at the present crisis to make house to house visits over the enure city. The streets, too, are filthily dirty, and should be cleaned at once. ‘The Beara of Aldermen meet to- jay, and Wi'l, It is to ne hoped, co-operate with the Health Onicer in his laudabie and arduous task of guardi) acommuntiy of 400,000 people irom the dread impending scourge.

Ketchum, son cf the dead Gen- eral, will be continued and concluiled, Gen- eral Bryce, Paymaster Geueral, and brother- in-law of the late General, will probably follow him as a witness for the prosecution. But a tew more witnesses for the State are yet to be examined, and It is likely that the detence will begin itg teati- mony on Wednesday, when an imterest not here- tofore manifested in the trial will be apparent.

This unique mode o! settlement caused Nel-on to liberally patronize one of our surgeons, who for several days was busily ed in picking out the shot, No warrant for Satm’s arrest was sworn out at the time, the person thinking it best to drop the matter, Yesterday moratug Nelson had so ar recovered as to be able to go out again. In col Vy with au. other negro iad of @ out the same age he took his gun and went outon the ime of the Memphis and Chariesioad Railroad for @ hunt, About ten o'clock, while wa in the woous just the other whee’s station, they suddenly at once asked sam. “Why did you shooc me the other day?” Sam said, “Ab, I just did thatin fun, That is a mighty nice gun you have, Nelson. Let me look at it? TI Was just fooling the otner day, [don’t want to hurt you.” Daring tie Ume he was talking Sam ally approaching, Neilson and when he was but @ few feet distant. Decetved by bis apparent friendiiness Nelson handed the gun 5 who was unarmed, As soon as he got the ag it up, and, pointing 1t at Nelson, ama you, J am going vo kill yous”? The boy fell on his kuees, dnd in piteous accents begged for his sie, or for at least time to invoke the mercy of that God who had given it to him, Sam, with a demoniac laugh, delterately placed the gun at Nol- son's Lowed head, and, pulimg the bp stepped back a8 the smoke, clearing away, revealed the dying, guivermig Douy of ms victim. Death must have been Instantaneons, as from an investigauion made at the coroner's inquest, held by squire elliot, it was found that the entire upper portion of tis skull was bi om it was a sickening sight, with the blood and brains all over his face, while the top portion of his head jay some disiance away.

The boy, however, had started to run a8 soon as Sam got the un, and he Was by that time a consideravie dis- nce away, sam hailoved to him that hie would Kill him ithe did not stop. No attention being paid to Unis he raised the gun and fired the remaining load as the fast disappearing form of the boy. The shot feil wide of its mark, Its oniy effect being to cause the norror-stricken lad to increase his speed, which he never relaxed unttl he reached Parson Cole's and informed him of the terrible newa, Dur- ing the aiternoon a warrant was sworn out for Sum’s arrest by the Parson before Squire Miller, ‘vhe murderer 18 descrived as. being @ black negro of medium size and about twenty-three years of age. No reason for the act is known. as Neison 1s sald to have been an exceedingly molfensive and re boy.

In 1870 the total number of vess British and tered and cleared with cargoes and fn ballast in the ports of the United Kingdom was 119,703, representing 86,640,182 tons, Of this number 70,587 vessels, representing 25,072,180 tons, were British, and 49,116 vessels, representing . foreign.

It appears, therefore, that in the year 1870 nearly two-thirds of the tonnage employed in the foreign aid colonial trade of the United Kingdom wero Britian, the remaining thira being foreign tonnage, while as re- cards the entries and clearances of ships in bal’ast the British tonnage only exceeda the foreign by some 642,780 tons, The largest amount of tonnage supplied In 1870 by any one State was by Norway, namely, 2,774,343 tons, Next comes the United States, which entered our carrying trade to the extent Of 1,265,902 tons; then France, to the extent of 1,105,961 tone; and then Italy, Including Sardinia, Tuscany and the Siciies, 930,313 tone; Prussia, 650,649; Sweden, 684,729, and Russia, 619,265 tona, ‘Tho tonnage contributed by ail the remaining States, though amounting to sore millions in the aggregates fo comparatively trifling a regards cach pariiular State, She total number of yessvia npon the Rexiater im the United Kingdom on the S1st of December, 18%, was 26,38", repre- jen Ling 6,604,737 tons, On the Sint of December, 1970, there were 25,643 veracia on the Register, reprerom-tng 9,617,403 tous.
