| P—— I\ THIRTEENTH YEAR. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. An Tportant Decision Tuvolving the Title to Land Grants in Hinnesota, The Colored People Publicly Con- sider the Recent Civil Rights Decision. The Jefferson Monument Completed— Sale of Alabama Mincral Lands, CAPITAL NOTES. IMPORTANT DECISIONS, Wasinaros, October —A land case of great importance, the Southern Minnesota Railway Extension company va. Augustus Kufner, was to-day decided by the Secretary of the Interior. In IS76 the land grant of the railroad was certified to the state of Minnesota by the land department for the bencfit of the railroad company. Kufner, however, re- cently made entry of a tract of land and his entry was received by the Commis- sioner of the Land Oflice, who held that the certification of lands to the state was irregular and that the certificates had not the Torce of patents, The Secretary upon a review of tae legislation upon the sub- ject, holds that by virtue of the grant and under the act of July 4th, 1866, as amended July 13th ame year, the title to the Jand'in con- test passed to the state of Minnesota for the benefit of said company when the tract was certified to the state in 1876 by the land dapartment. He further holds 09 that in having been decided by said de- | * partment in 187G that the land passed to the sta’e under the grant, and it hav- ing been so certified and under such ad- judication the lands having been gener- ally sold to innocent partics, such de- cigion eaunot now be changed. It is said at the interior department that the decision of the commissioner, if sustained would have resulted in a loss to the railrond companies in Minnesota of about one million acres of land and the decision might bave also unsettled the title to 50,000,000 acres of land cer- titied to by the railroad companies in other States. Under the act of 1883, de- clarmg publiz land in Montgomery , to be mineral land, the commissicner of the land oftice had ad- vertised it for public next. The land in the Huntsville dis- trict, Ala., mentioned in the same act, is also to be advertised for sale THE GRAVE OF JEFFERSON. Colonel Casey reports to the Secretary of State that the work of erecting a suitable monument over the grave of Thomas Jefferson had been completed, the adjacent lots repaired and a strong and handsome fenco built about the burying ground. The signal service will no doubt adopt the new time standards for railways, COLORED INDIGNATION, The day following that on which the Supreme court decided the civil rights bill unconstitutional, Fred Douglass, Prof, Gregory, Hom. J. M. Langston and other prominent colored men of the District of Columbia, called a meeting of colored people to consider the decis- ion of the court and the future of the colored race as affected by that decision. To-night, in response to the call, an as- ve of more than 2,000 persons, one-third white, packed the hall in which the meeting was held and almost as many more were unable to secure entrance. Prof. J. M. Gregory, presided and Fred Douglass, Col. Ingersoll, JudgeShellabar- gerand Iev. Dr. Rankin made speeches, Prominent colored men of Washington and several white men who take active part in mevements for the welfare of the colored race, occupied the platform. The assemblage was remarkable for its en- thusinsm and apparent unanimity of sen- timent with respect to the matter which prompted the mceting. Fred Douglass, who was the first speaker, said his race felt the decision as they had felt the furious attempt to force the accursed system of slavery upon the soil of Kansas. Resolutions were adopted declaring among other things it is the duty of all lovers of their country and all friends of justice to see to it thatfull and equal tection of the laws is afforded every citizen. That the Republican party should be held to the enforcement of its demand for complete liberty and equality in the enjoyment of civil, political and public rights; that the Democratic party should be reminded of its daclaration in the national convention in 1872, that it recognized the equality of all men be- fore theflaw, and that it is the paramount duty of the colored voter to give his aid and support to that party or coalition ef parties that will give force and meaning to the utterances, pledges and demands of the Republican and Democratic par- ties in their platforms of 1872 in respect to the protectiou of colored zens in their manhood rights — The Eplscopa Conventlon. Puitapereaia, October 22, —In the Episcopal convention the order of the day was taken, viz, consideration of the resolutions offered by Rev. Dr. Hunting- ton, of Massachusetts, as follows: “‘That there shall be and hereby is proposed in this general convention™ for adoption or rejection by the next general convention, alterations and additions in the book of common prayer in said report and book annexed as ainended and sev- erally and separately set forth, and each of the ;uctiulla therein noted is hereby roposed as distinct and independent fi”flfifilll or additions in said zl:ummrm prayer and to be acted upon separately y the next sunerd convention, ““That said alterations and additions be severally made known to the convention of every diocese of the church to the end that each and every one of them may be acted upon for adoption or rejected as said convention shall determine," Judge Wilder (Minn.) proposed an in- termediate line of action and offered as a substitute that such parts of the reports as have been comsidered in detail in the house be adopted as several and indepen- dent propositions and that they be sever- ally made known to the several dioceses with a view to their being adopted by the next general convention; that the balance of the report of the joint committee be recommitted. A long discussion was in- terrupted by recess.

A Commercial Between New New York, October 22,--At a meet ing of the members of the Produce Ex- change committee appointed to e i into the feasahlity of building a te line between this city and hicago, re- ported they found difticulties in securing the right of way so great they aban- doned all atempt to . make an estimate of tho cost. They recommended the company be composed exclusively of members of the New York Produce Exchange and Chi- cago Board of Trade That the line of the New York Central and St. Louis Railroad company, and New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railroad company, owned by the National Telegraph com- pany, they had obtained refusal of purchasing it for one million dollars in bonds bearing G per cent interest, to be issued by the company. The line runs from Weehawken, New Jersey, to within cight miles of Chicago. Its completion to the proposed terminal points would cost §50,000. The committee proposed the members of the New' produce and exchange should take £600,000 stock and the Chi- cago board of trade £400,000, no person to be permitted to take more than $500 of stock, to prevent consolodation of the line withany other. They recommended the voting power of the stock be placed in the hands of trustees appointed by the New York exchange and the Chi- cago Beard of Trade. = T T, Affairs ar Kearney. al Dispatch to Tik ek, Kransey, Neb., Octeber 22.—Three boys made their ezcape frouw the reform morning, but found school this were about 10 o’clock this morning in a grain elevator at Elm Creek and are now on their way back.

In August last Judge Drum- mond, with the concurrence of -Judge Baxter, appointed E. E. Dright receiver for the road. Recently Dwight applied to Judge Drummond for an order regard- ing the foreclosure of a mortgage on that of the road within Judge Baxter's juris- diction. The matter came to Baxter's knowledge and he took offense, removed Dwight from the Receivership within his jurisdiction, and_appointed W. .J. Craig. This complicated matters and to-day ccunsel from the Boston, Cincinnati & Toledo, representing the bondholders, appeared before Judge Drummond to ask him to dismiss Dwight aud appoint Craig within his jurisdiction. Drummond re- plied that he saw no suflicient reason therefor, but in the interest of the cred- itors he would yield the point to the ex- tent of appointing Craig joint receiver with Dwight in his (Drummand’s) terri- tory, if Baxter, would appoint Dwight joint receiver with Craig in his Baxter's) territory, Counsel will urge the propo- sition upon the consideration of Judge Baxter. —— - A Burning Steamer.

It is asignificant fact that in every civi- tized country of this enrth drunkeness is rarcst among the olasses who havo other and botter convivial resources, In the United States, whero the “‘almighty dol- lar” confers unlimited priviloges, the well-to-do people are the most temperato in the world, the poor the most intempe- rate In Turkoy, wheroe the lower classes are indulged in‘many pastimes which are considered below the dignity of an “effon- di, the poison-vee is actually confined to tho upper-ten; temperance reigns in the cottage, while opium-smoking and secret Commissioner tration of Andrew Johnson, died of heart disease this morning at his son-in-law's resi- about 10 o'clock and the party leave for| d dram-drinking prevail in the palace.

For—¢Na- ture will have her revenge, and, when the most ordinary and harmless recrea- tions are forbidden as sinful, isapt to seek compensation in indulgences which no moralist would be willing to condone. The charge brought against the Novations in the early ages of the Church can, with equal plausibility, be brought against the Puritans in our own day One more vice, at all events, which Christians of cvery 301, as well as non-Christian moralists, ro a greed in condemning, is reputed to b2 a special opprobrium of Scotland; and the strictest observance of all those mi- nute and oppressive Sabbatharian regula- tions to which we referred just now has been found compatible with consecrating the day of rest toa quict but unlimited assimilation of the liquid which inebriates but does notchecr.

There 1s, indeed, no doubt that the “gnuffling, whining saints, who groaned i at the sight of Jack in the aave driven as many pleasure- seekers from the play-ground to the pot- house as despotism M Tl e i into outlaws and robbers, For the prac- tical alternative is not between conven- titles and rum-riots, but between health- ful and baneful pastimes. Before we can begin to eradicate the poison-habit we must make reform more attractive than vice; and, as long us the champions of temperance shut their eyes to the signifi- cance of that truth, their legislative enact- ments will always remain dead-lotter laws.
