One from Omaha, Nov. 24. "The principal politicians of the State are now here. They are talking up the State Land question. Every thing looks well for our railroad. It certainly attracts more attention than any other. I have a long letter from Mr. -cf St. Louis, which I will send "you In ft day or two." Another from Nebraska City of date Nov. -5. "We have St. Louis advices that are favorable, and assurance that our mil lion of dollars will be appropriated in of our enterprise." As soon as the Company Is fully or ganized our people may look for tnri nets. Mb. Editor: I may safsly say, that the great question now before the peo ple of Nebraska, and will be before the coming Legislature, is our State Lands how shall we dispose of them most advantageously, or rather to come to the point, shall they be appropriated for Railroad purposes? If for such purposes, shall the lands themselves be given direct toKallroai companies, or sold by the State and the proceeds given to aid Eailroad enterprises? So far as I have read, most of the news papers In Nebraska are advocating "Let us preserve these lands for 'ac tual settlers' and appropriate the pro ceeds arising from their sale to the building of Railroads." Let cs look at this question in a practical point of view. If Railroads are cot to be built through Nebraska until the lands are old to "actual settlers," how lonj do you suppose we will have to wait for Railroads! How many "actual set tlers'' To yea suppswesrr going to pay $1,23 and $2,50 for State Lands, when they can get equally as good lands as Homsteads, for nothing or simply the fcCce fees. The fact is, that Rail roads will bring "actual settlers" into Nebraska when nothing else will Build a Railroad along the Missouri river, from the Southern to the North ern line of the State, and in the inte rior, say through the second and third tier of counties, and the population and wealth of Nebraska will increase one hundred fold ; and 'actual settlers' will take np every foot of land along your roads la preference to Home steads. Build your Railroads frtt! Will capitalists build your roads through a new country like ours with out help? Will these roads be built without the appropriation of of lands? If so, we are a fortunate people more so than others who have lived before us. A correspondent of the Omaha Republican, 'Improvement, has writ ten the most sensible article I have read on this subject. He esys : "The theory of holding these lands for "ac tual settlers" is calculated to tickle the fancy it sound well, and at first blush is so plausible that it is popular with the masses. But it is thoroughly unsound in practice. What we want Is Farmers in Nebraska. Build Rail roads, and render farming a pro 2 Labia business in the interior as well as along the river line, and In a very few years JeCersou county will be as pop ulous as Richardson, S&l'ne and Seward will rival Nemaha and Otoe. The fellow who promises to "catch the lark, when the sky falls," will witness the fruition of his hopes at the sam period of time when the Omaha IZepu&tiean and Herald will rejoice to gether over tb building of Railroads In Nebraska, from the proceeds of State Lands, sold to "actual settlers!" So say I ! If our lands are to be sold first, and Railroads art only to be btilt afterward by such aid, the present generation and the one to come, will be nnder the sod before Railroads are built. Let our Legislators take a plain, sensible and practicable view of this question, and appropriate the' lands for railroad purpossa. I do cot, of courzs, meaa to s-uan&r these lands by giving them to irresponsible corpo rations .'kiteing Railroads! Only to bonailde enterprixes. To such roads as are most needed, and routes as are practicable and Trill be speedily and certainly constructed. Let the Legis lature nnder such restrictions as will secure the State frcm Imposition, give lands give them cow. But says the objector these Railroad companies will net use these lands to construct the road, but will hold on to them for speculating purposes. The Railroad Companies if composed cf practical business men, will g;t all the lands appropriated to them, into the hands of "actual settlers" vita Railroads, long before the Si&ta.jsiH, without them, .Trhlla ths rzzT may net ce3 the lands tlcisclvca Immediately and directly, , they farra the tsrls spaa which cc;j tra rr.i t ta extent, to proceed with the 52rp:Lc3.

Washington, Nov. SO. The following is Gen. Grant's re port In full: Hd'qes Army of the U. S Washington D. C, Nov. 26. ToOen.J,M.Schofield: ' Sec. of War Sir : I have the hon or to submit the reports of Division, District and Department Commanders for the past year. These reports give a full account of the operations and services of the army for the year, and I refer to them for details. I would earnestly renew the reeommondations of last .year, that the control of the Indiana be transferred to the War De partment. I call special attention to the recommendation of Gen. Sherman on this subject. It has ray earnest ap proval. It Is not necessary that the arguments in favor of this transfer should be re peated. ; The necessity for it becomes stronger and more evident every day. While the Indian war continues I do not deem any general legislation- for the reduction of the army advisable. The troops on the plains are all needed; the troops in the Southern States are still needed, and further reduction can be made in the way already in use and now In operation, when it is safe, namely, by allowing companies to dis miss by discharges without being strengthened by recruits, and by stop ping the appointments of second Lieu tenants. If it should be deemed advi sable, the veteran reserve regiment might be discontinued by absorption and retirement of the officers and the discharge of men, without detriment to the service. Very respectfully your obd't serv't. ,K-. U. S. Grant, General. , Gen. Mead's Report. Washington, Nov. 30. Gen. Mead's annual report states in detail, the prominent events which have occurred in his department. He says during the whole period of my civil administration, extending over a space of eight months, there were tried bv military commission in the State of Florida and Alabama only 32 persons ; of these but 15 were convic ted, four of these sentences were disap proved of, eight othera remitted, two referred to the President of the United States and still awaiting action, leav ing but one person convicted and in confinement for violation of a civil law and tried by military commission. On the cessation of military authority I deem a refutation of the charges, that the military power was despoti cally and arbitrarily exercised wiih regard to the rights of persons, and also with those of property unnecessa ry. It was my study and effort to be a trusty guard of the rights of individ uals without regard to any considera tion but that of justice and law. Evils of Land Monopoly. The following just views of the cause of land monopoly occur in an address at the recent annual fair of the State Board of Agriculture of Nebraska, de delivered by Major H. FY Brooks, of Rochester, New York, and heartily endorsed by the actual settlers of Ne braska: You have now in charge of your State 800,000 acres of land ; that land is worth more than all the railroads you can build In forty years, What ever you do with it, require that it be passed at a low price and in limited quantities into the hands of actual settlers. Your strong point is cheap land. Every acre you pass over to speculators to be held for advanced price is a clog on your prosperity. If you would route the speculators, and offer your lands to actual settlers under the provisions of the homestead act, or at ten shilltngs per acre, you would, within eight or ten years, have as dense a population as any agricul tural State In this blessed Union. God grant our legislators, State and national wisdom to stop the whole system of land appropriation for public and private purposes. Hold every acre, as a sacred trust from Heaven for landless whose needs are their title to it, and who from the proceeds of their industry can and will build roads and make every needed improvement in half the time required under the pres-' ent system. ' , Election Returns Thrown Oat. New Orleans, Nov. 26. The Governor, Secretary of State and Judge of the Judicial District have thrown out the entire vote of parishes Avoylles, West Feleciania, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Orleans. St. Ber nard, Sabine, St. John, Baptist street, Martin and Washington, for informal ity in the manner of making returns, and declare that no legal returns have been received from those parishes. This makes the entire vote for Grant 27,911, and for Seymour 4,13-5. The Democratic Congressmen are declared elected from all but the Second Dis trict. Iu the latter district only the parishes of La Fourche. St. Cnaries and St. James are counted : riving the certificate to Sheldon for the full term, and ilaynard, negro, for the unexpired term. Washington, Nov. 23. "Poreitra diplomats here express some aumrise that Reverdy Johnson should have agreed informally, to such terms as he has proposed, inere is no llklihood that Mr. Seward will consent to the arrangement, and the administration as a whole is so far as can be ascertained, more opposed to it than bewaru niraseir. i iie plan ap rtears to be to have two American and two British Commissioners, the two governments, and not the com mis sion era, to select an umpire in case the commisinoners disagree cn anything. Mr. Seward will not say much about the matter, but it is given cut from the White House that Reverdy John son ha waived the question about :1a t- cairv out further instructions to our minister. - The long pending negotiations In this city resulted to-day in the consol idation of the American and Mer chants Union Express Companies; . , .
