'down concerning California. It ha ;

miles , or 99,000,000 acres , being th <
! second largest state in the Union
i There are yet within her borders 43 ,
000,000 acres of unentered free govern
j mcnt land , of which one-half are suita
' blc for one or another agricultural pur
! pose , and on which any entcrprisim
man with a fe\v hundred dollars cat
lay the foundation of an indcpendcii
fortune. The Southern Pacific Hail
way Company has large areas of lam
yet unoccupied , of unequaled fertility
ranging in price from § 2,50 upward :
per acre , most of which is for sale a
from $2.50 to § 20 , and is readih
doubled in valuation by occupation anc
civilization. Contrary to popular notion ,
the company is anxious to dispose o
these lands in small quantities to actua
settlers , and discourages speculators
who wish to buy great bodies of lane
only to hold it for "a raise , " giving
preferences in all cases , and cspccia
terms and advantages to the actual set
tier. To settlers lands are sold for casher
or payable in five annual or ten semi
annual payments , with seven per cent ,
interest , and in many cases buyers have
realized enough from the crops in om
single year to pay for the land.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
N , D.C. , April 12 , ' 85
The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny , which takes the initiative in every
thing pertaining to the safety anc
comfort of railroad passengers in this
country , is now disputing England' ;
supremacy as to the matter of speed
The trains on the Great Western Kail-
way , from London to Liverpool , an
nihilate the distance at the rate o
fifty miles an hour , exclusive of stops
but what will Mr. Bull and the resi
of the world say when they learn thai
the Pennsylvania Central road whirls
its passengers from New York to Chicago
cage , ( a good thousand miles ) ii
twenty-four hours including stops ;
By the schedule that went into eilecl
last Sunday , the great cities of the
east are thus placed within twenty-
four hours with the metropolis of the
west , and tin's wonderful achievement
is accompanied by the most positive
guarantees of comfort as well as per
fect safety. Neither pains nor ex
pense have been spared in the adop
tion of every possible means to insure
passengers against accident , so thai
the inauguration of this new enter
prise is destined to secure for this line
the continuance of that popularity that
its admirable management in the pasl
has won from the whole traveling
public.
In view of the enormous frauds that
have been committed in the preemption
tion of the public lands throughout
the country , the Commissioner of the
General Land Office has suspended
the issuance of any more land patents
in the greater portion of the public
land States west of the Missouri , and
has absolutely and indefinitely sus
pended patents for the desert and tim
ber culture entries every where. Un
der this order of the new Commis
sioner , it would seem that the only le
gal way to get hold of the public do
main is by the instrumentality ol
scrip , for which there must necessari
ly follow a very lively demand. There
are several classes of scrip that can
be used for locating public lands in
any quantities and in all localities
where lands arc subject to homesteader
or pre-emption entry , the principle cf
which is the Soldiers' Additional
Homestead Scrip , which is also the
cheapest and best for locating pur
poses. There is but little of this
scrip afloat now , and this little is lim
ited to the hands of a very few deal
ers in Washington City , who antici
pate a bountiful harvest.
The Senatorial junketing parties
for the summer that had been laid cut
under the miserable pretense that
they are for the promotion of the pub
lic interests , have come to naught
through the instrumentality of old
man Van Wyck , who has.lately been
stirring up the Republican galoots of
the Senate with a very pointed stick.
Mr. Van AYyck is a veritable Miss
Nancy in appearance , but he has
abundantly shown his ability to hold
his own in a lip contest with some of
the best men in the Senate.
The grand army of political hacks
and dead beats that have found their
way into the Treasury department in
the capacity of special agents , is to be
completely broken up and scattered.
Secretary Manning's attention was
called early in the hours of the new
administration to the useless and ex
pensive host of scalawags who for
years have done nothing under Heav
en but draw their salaries and play
into the hands of the very men they
were set to watch. In fact these fel
lows had so much influence with the
last administration that neither Arthur
nor his Secretary of the Treasury
could find it possible to lop them off.
