C. , April 1. ) Senator Paddock has boon busily employed in stirring up the Interior and treasury do- paitment.s fora statement of the amounts due Nebraska on account of the fides of pub lic lands. Ho received today n tubulated statement from the land oftlco which con tains Hgures of interest to the state. The most important item is that which shows that there Is duo Nebraska fJS'.IS ! , , being.1) per cent of the sales of lands previ ously unaccounted for. The comptroller of the treasury , in an nouncing the correctness of this statement , says : "Of the above amount "only $ liil-ii : : i-s now available for payment and has this day been certltled for the state. The remainder will bo reported to congress for n special appropriation. " A review of the figures shows that from February , IS.'t ) , to June , ISS ! > , the total pro ceeds of sales of pu ) > llu lands in Nebraska amounted to $ .S,1X-171 , ' ( ) , of which $ I,170 , ' .I3 only was for Indian lauds. During that period the smallest sales occurred in the year ending Julie , 1SS7 , when only IO,0.'i ! worth of lands were disposed of , mid tlio largest ten years later , when $ , : ! > l,4'-M poured into the treasury from Nebraska " soli. Nearly $ li,000)00 ( ) of tho"S,00,000 , were sold since July , 1SS1. In other words three-fourths of the total amount of sales in Nebraska have been made iu less than niuo years past. No more pregnant commentary could bo made upon the growth of the state , Its rapid settlement and the probabilities of the coming census enumeration. The 5 per centum act under the laws of the Nebraska enabling act was.mado retroactive so as to include all sales of lauds prior to her admis sion. By this fortunate and exceptional clause § 10,000 in round numbers accrued to the state , the per cent on W1S,000 worth of sales. The stimulus of statehood and the bulldiiig'of the Union Pacilic road In the next three years raised the amount to SI,700,000. From 1.S71 to IStJl the sales steadily decreased , when they leaped to the ligures before quoted. Last year they dropped $ IOOKK , ( ( to &HitOOU and are likely to bo still further de creased during the present fiscal year. Till : MONT\X * CONTKST CASH. Senators-elect Sanders and Powers were conlldent today that -the contested election from Montana would come up immediately in the senate for liniil debate and action.

It is believed that the Montana case will come up tomorrow and that there will bo but little de bate except by the members of the committee on privileges and elections. The llnal vote on the bill Is not expected before the middle of next week. The .seating of the republicans- elect is a foregone conclusion. iminwi.N'o TIII : rrrnu MISSOUKI. llcpresentutivo Council states that it is likely an appropriation of about $2.iOXX ( ) will bo made in the river und harbor bill for dredging the npjier Missouri.

A republican member of the committee on ways and means stated to your correspondent today that the proposition to open commercial relations by reciprocal treaties with Mexico and the bouth ami Central American states would not bo incorporated in the tariff bill. He added that the proposition had not been discussed at length in a formal way nor in fact given formal consideration by the committee , but lie had hejirtl it discussed between mem bers in their individual capacity sufttclontly to warrant him in saying that tlio proposition would not bo incorporated in the tSrilt bill , but would come up as a .separate question to stand upon its own merits.

Mr. llitt was Immediately upon his feet and opposed the proposition with great vigor. Ho .said , with considerable sarcasm , that this was simply tlio Initiative movement in favor of the con struction of an extensive public building at Dulmquo , the homo of Colonel Henderson , and that therefore it was more in the interest of a city than the people who had business to do with the oflleo in question. Ho stated further that the buildings now occupied by tliis officer were constructed at considerable expense nnd that they were satisfactory to the people at Galena , and the oflleo was of no inconvenience t < j the people having business with it. Colonel Henderson nmilo n verv spirited defense of the bill. Ho said Unit Galena was six miles from navigation on the Mississippi , that it had degcnrrat"d from a thriving bity to a place of no considerable im portance , and the proposition was simply to iiho the olllco ( it inspector of boilers and hulls to Dabuque , which was di rectly ,011 the line of navigation. The house was considerably amused for some min utes by the earnest but very friendly bout be tween Messrs Hilt and Henderson. These gentlemen are the warmest personal friends and each was very earnest In favor of his po sition. Finally Mr. Hatch of Missouri got tlio floor mid stated that during the nast sum mer ho had made several trips on tlio upper Mississippi and found steamboat men and all persons having to do with .steamboats on the upper Mississippi earnently In favor of re moving the ofllco to Dubuquo.
