These applications "were referred to your office by the local officers in compliance with instructions there tofore given them relative to this; class of cases..', . . ,'.'-".'.:''! . Upon receiving further instructions froi your office, the declaratory statements were reoeived and filed. On the 4th of March, 1872, the de fendants appeared at the local Office, made final proof and tendered pay ment for the land; ' The proof was received and filed and the fact of the tender was noted. The State having asserted her claim to the land as swamp and overflowed lands, and having selected the same September 19. 1871: vour office1 May 20, 1872, ordered hearing before the local of ficers, to determine tne ngnts oi tne respective parties. ' The local officers awarded the land to the State, you reversed their decision and botn par t.inn annealed to the Department. You rejected .-the claim of the State upon the ground that the records of vour office Bhowed that the tracts in J 1 1 V T I contest were covered uy a uuuy ui water at the date of the act of 18G0, and were not, therefore, included in the grant by that act to the State. I do not agree with you, either in the finding of this fact, or your ap plication of the law thereto. So far as appears from the papers presented, the records of your office do not show the character of the land on the 14th day. of February, 1859 (date of the admission of Oregon as a State), or on the 12th day of March, I860. They do show that when the town ship in which the land is situated was first surveyed, viz: in , 1872, a large portion of it, including the tracts in contest, was covered by water, forming what appeared to be a lako, the margin of which was meandered. You appear to have as sumed that the land remained in the same condition in March, 1860. You erred in this assumption. The State, in the absence oi any express to the kind of proof to be relied upon, should have been al lowed to show by any competent ev dence, by parol or otherwise, the character of the land at the time her rieht accrued, and the weight of such evidence snouia mivo guvcui flnlnwa nf fact (R. R. Co. vs. Smith, 9 Wall, 95). The rule laid down by the Supreme Court in that case is now the accepted rule of practice in ,nnr nfflcfl and the Department, (Conkling vs. Wendell, Secretary's November. 11. 1873.) But omUtin'ir the fact to be as found, lnj vour conclusion of law doeB not necessarily follow. A tract is not necessarily excluded from the grant because at any given date it may be ..mrnwirl hv water, havine the appear ance of a lake, and in the judgment of surveyors of a cnaracter 10 ue meandered. That very fact may he a material one in establishing the general fact that the land is swamp and overnowea. The presence of water may not in dicate the existence of a permanent lake. It may be the result oi periou ;i rflnw. In the case under consideration, as will be hereafter noticed, thiB was actually the fact. Under these circumstances iv i evi dent that the land would be swamp and overflowed and within the grant. The first section of tho act of 1860 is in the following words, viz: "That the provisions of the act of Congress entitled 'on act to enable the State of Arkansas and otner biaujs io reclaim tl, nwnmn lands within their limits. a-oroved September 28, 1850, be and the same are hereby extended to the States OI ju.m:x' provided, that the grant hereby made 5C.il ' iirl anv lands which Government of the United States may have reserved, sold or disposed of (in pursuance of any law hereto fore enacted) prior to the confirma tion of title to be made under the authority of the said act." The act of 1850 has been repeated ly held by the Courts and by the to the e-rant in presenti, vesting an indefeasible legal title in the State to all lands at the date of its passage "swamp and overflowed i,i,, m.,l unfit thereby for cultiva- ' Railroad Company vs. Tre- m't. flnmnanv. 9 Wall. 89: Rail road Company vs. Smith, lb. 95; w0,lll v.

If the State did not attach before the act of li0 that act extend ing that of 18o0 to tne Diara oi Oregon was a grant in prexmti to ..M Bt.ts. nf all lands at that date swamp and overflowed, made there by unfit for cultivation, wnu mo ex ception of that class mentioned in the proviso. . Two main questions ansa upon tlie .nr.4rinn of the appeals, vii: First upon all competent evidence submitted. Was this land swamp a il.nrcl mid made unfit for cultivation, upon the 12th day of March, I860, the date of the afore said act? Second, Is the land io controversy excepted from the grant by the pro viso to the first section? First, I have carefully examined all the evidence, documentary, and parol, accompanying the appeal, d I am satisfied that at the date of the grant this land was swamp and over flowed, and rendered thereby unfit for cultivation. The body of water known as 'Wappato Lake" is not now, nor was it in 18G0, a permanent lake." - It is formed annually, in the late Fall or early Winter, by a rise . in the . creek or river Tualitan, the waters of which during the rainy season are impeded in their flow, and backed, up, through the mouth of j the so-called lake, , and cover to a depth of several feet, a valley or ra vine surrounded by higher lands. The water remains upon the lands during the winter months and down to about the first of June or July, as the seasons vary, when it then re cedes and leaves the bed of the lake in a swampy condition during, the rest of the year. During the ab sence of the water, the land pro duces a species of swamp-grasB and beoomes very . valuable pasture land; but there , can , be no responsible doubt that, in its present condition, it is entirely unfit for any kind of cultivation. -! "'' ' " I I understand that it has been the practice of vour office to hold all lands as not swamp when, at the time of the Government survey, they were covered by water to such a depth and in such a form as to re quire meandering, but have subse quently, from' natural causes, be come dry. ' I see no objection to the application of this rule to cases where the State has agreed to accept the field notes of the Government surveys as conclusive evidence of the character of the land. But it clearly should not be applied to a case like that under consideration, where the survey was made long prior to tne grant, and where the State distinct ly refuses to be nouna oy ine gov ernment surveys. . . .- The Supreme Court in tlie ease of Railroad Company vs; Smith, already cited, referring to parol evidenoe, in troduced in the trial below to show the character of the land at the date of the act, sayBU "The matter to be shown of observation and examina tion, and whether arising before tie Becretary, whose duty it was pri marily to decide it, or before the Court, whose duty it became, because the Secretary had failed to do it; this was clearly the best evidence to be had, and was sufficient for the purpose." - i: The State had clearly the right to offer the parol proof presented, and it is tne duty oi tne Liepartment to consider it in determining the ques tions of fact. - . ',. In my opinion this land was swamp and overflowed at the date of the grant, and I so decide. Second, The proviso to the first seotion of the act of I860 is a clear limitation of the grant, excepting from its operations au lands wlncn the Government may have reserved, sold or disposed of (in pursuance of any law theretofore enacted) prior to the confirmation of title to be made under the act of 1850. In view of the construction given to the act of 1850, by the Courts and the Depart mfint. it is evident that this confir mation of title, referred to in the act of 1860, can only moan the patenting of the lands as provided lor Dy tne second section ot tne act ol loou. Any reservation, sale or disposition of the land by the Government un der prior laws, therefore, prior to the patenting of the same to the State, as provided by the act of 1850, would except it from the operation of the grant to uregon, Dy me act oi aouu Was there such a sale or disposi tion in this case? I have no doubt that a valid settlement under the pre' emption law, followed by subsequent residence, improvement, ana cultiva tion in rmod faith, and final proof and payment or tender of the price, would constitute a saie ana aispuHiuuu vuiu- in the meaning of tlie aot. JJut in order to constitute such a sale, it is clearly essential that all these steps should nave oeen rotten iu punou good failh, with the honest intention to appropriate the land for agricul tural purposes, and this must be affirmatively shown. Grants of this character are construed most strong ly against the grantee, but the grant being once snown to nave auacneu w a class of lands, generally described, any alleged exception therefrom must be clearly and affirmatively Now the evidence in this case is niinh as almost to preclude the possi bility of these defendants being claim ant in crood faith under the pre emption law. With a full knowledge fVio .lnini of the State, and the fact that for mora than one half of every year the land was covered by water to tne uojjiu m they moved upon the tracts and erected small houses, or cabins. These cabin were placed upon stakes driven into the ground nve or six feet high above the surfaoo, and dur ing the few months, when it is claiin edthey were occupied by the claim ants, viz: from October, 1871, to March, 1872, they could only be roachod by the use of rufts or canoes. Before the waters came the claim ants managed to break about half an acre of uround on the two claims, but there is no proof of any nuccesa ful cultivation, and if the testimony of many apparently well informed and credible witnesses is to be be- lioved. Buch a thing is simply im miMihle ution the land as it now .tamlfl- The claimaata lived in the housea referred to, while engaged elsewhere at work temporarily, from October, ikki March. 1873. since which neither, so far as shown, has resided ! on the land. In my opinion these defendants) were not botui fide claimanta under the pre-emption law. I think it is evident that they sought to obtain title to these lands under that law, not for the purpose of making the same their homes, or with any idea of cultivating or improving them, but merely upon speculation and to Anmiivd fVla lYiTnmvn 11QA nf 4llA li..: ! ture lands during the Summer months. Such a state of facts sur rounding a pre-emption claim, effec tually negatives the idea of a sale or disposition within the meaning of the act of 1860. In my opinion the tracts in contro versy are within the general descrip tion of lands granted, and are not within the language of the excep tion.. ;' :,- i ; : .... " . 'i It is claimed, however, that the State has forfeited her right to the land in contest by failure to select tne same within the time prescribed by the second section of. the act of 1860; that is to say within two years from the adjournment of the State Legislature at the next session after notice by the Secretary of .the Inte tior to , the . Governor of the State that the survey of the land had been completed and confirmed. This ob ject is disposed of by reference to me iact uiat tue nouc proviueu lur has never been given.

IMPORTANCE OF THB TRANSIT. , In referenoe to the transit of Venus, which occurred last night, Prof. Si mon Newcomb, in an article on the subject published in Harper's Maga zine tor j-iecemoer, wrote as lotiows: The question may be asked why so much pains should be taken to meas ure the distance of the sun, and wheth er it makes any difference to mankind what orbit Venus desonbes. Boientit- io investigators never inquire of what use knowledge is; they leave practioal application to others. But. a little consideration will allow that astronomy in a merely utilitarian way, paid the world manifold tor all the labor spent n learning it. Did it ever occur to the reader that it is to Kepler, Newton and their successors that we owe the means of navicatincr the ocean in safe ty? When a ship is out of sight of land there is no way or determining her position exoept by observations of the Heavenly .homes, cut observa tions could not be used for this pur pose unless the laws ot motion oi these bodies nao been aiscovereu aim tauc'lit by matliemetioiaiis and astron omers. A striking example oi wis is tresh in the memory ot all. A year and a half ago the splendid steamer Ctlf of Waxmaton sailed on tier usual voyage across the ocean, but ooDstant oloudv weatber prevented observations to determine her posi tion. In oonsequonce she was wrecked on the coast of Nova Scotia, and the loss of mors property Ulan would pay for all the expenses of observing the transit of Venus paid the forfeit for failure to make the neoessary observa tions. ' A large portion of the work of astronomers is devoted to fixing the positions and motions of the stars and planets with continually increasing auouraoy; and the observations we have been describing are one step in this work., ,, . ..j., A STRANGE STORY. Thirteen years ago a young man wooed and won a young lady in a villatre not far from Davenport. The parents of the girl objected, and there was a deal o: trouble ; dui finally the couple were married at the houso of the bride Three months after, the bridegroom desired to move to California, but the family of his wife opposed her emigration, and the result was that the husband start ed for the Pacifio coast without her. After the first six months no tidings from the husband were received and m less than a year news came that he was dead. In 1865 . the widow married a young man who had recently arrived from Germany and her second husband was entirely ignorant if the fact that his bride was a widow. But where "ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. ' Short after the marriage the husband pur chased a farm in Scott county, and on that farm the couple have lived ever since, and several children have blessed their union. Four weeks ago the first husband of this woman arrived in Davenport, and on making inquiries learned the history of his wife's marriage. Then he rode out to see her. It was lor tunate that her liege lord was away from home, for she was very much affected. She told him that she sup. posed he was dead, and so married another, and chided him for neglect ing her as he did. Ue had a long story to tell, the real gist of it being that he had determined never to re turn until he became rich. And hero he was rich I But bin wife was miserable in his presence and he was miserable, too. The end of the conference was, that the first husband returned to Davenport to consult a lawyer and the end of the consultation was, that the husband wont to the wife and had another long talk with her, and then the two separated, never to meet again, for the man determined to cross tlie ocean and siiend the balance of his days in Germany, The day that he left the wife entered her suit for divorce on tho ground of desertion ; the notiee was forthwith served on the defendant, and he ac cepted service. At the next term of tlie Circut Court the defendant name will be called, and there will 1 nr. rrmnonse. There will be d fault, and decree of divorce granted, Anil mnvbe the wife will be married a second time to the father of her ehihlren. and so remain contented the delightful home in which she now lives in elegance and comfort.

' 1 The cry of babies mingle with the I have already contrasted the great est of all California's sous with Ore. gon'a ablest Senator.' 1 And how I propose to oompare him with another of our Senators Gen. Joseph Lane. here was alwavs an enmity between them, but there were also many real cardinal points of resemblanoe. Both men were of obsoure birth Bud dofeo tive education; both possessed ex cellent native judgment and politieal sagacity J both were men pt uign oourage and sterling integrity, believ ing that a stain on a ' man's honor is worse than a wound in his heart. They cared pothing.for their enemies, but contented thomqulyes with being true to their1 Iriends.; ,,. IJoth can be oharged with being eiaoting and im perious toward their satellites, but mat was their prerogative ; their unsullied honor and faultless integrity, gave them that right. What man would have dared to walk up to either of them and solicit a vote for the back salary grab or the Alaska job now in troduced by linger? These two men loom up, in our dark days ot bribery and corruption, like giants whose footsteps in the oomdors of the Cap-' itol will never be heard again. . One fell a victim to his own Quixotic no tions of oourage; the other still lives in the twilight ot an honorable lite, calmly wailing for rest and the end. 1 onnuot speak, ot Senator lirou itUc's death, without feeling my eyes oliSfi up for rain and my throat swell with a griof that can never be assuag ed. His unsolfish friendship for me, is one of the dearest and most oher ished reoolleotions ot my life. He fell in a duel fought with a man whom be (more than any other) had helped to save from the fury of an exaspera ted mob,. i Well would it have been for Judge Terry, if he oould have fallen that day, inBlead ot toe sena tor. The man who slays a, friend in duel, never smiles again. With my nowledge ot the Senator, I do not believe that the duel could have been evaded. Both he and his antagonist were men of hieh oourage, personal pride and political prominence; henoe UO OODClllnllOU ll'jiu oibiiui biuu uuuiu be expected. I never can beliove that he told Washburn (or any one else,) that "they have killed me beoauBe I was opposed to a corrupt Auministra tiou and the extension of slavery." But I oan believe that he did say to Baker "I die protect my honor I" Nnblv was that sacred trust fulfilled nnd. to mv last hour, never shall I foruot that silver-voiced orator, on that Lieak sepiemoer ouiiuay siki noonj weeping over the ootflii of the rlnad statesman and calling on Chris tianity to badish thia base relio of a barbario ago. , Urodorick sleeps at liono .moun tain, within sound ot billows as tur Tuilnntaa his own ambitious spirit. The great conflict is eudod, and free labor is triumphant over uonuugu. Baker rosts near him in a quiet tomb, and these croat heroes who did bat tle for the right, are united in the consecrated brotherhood that governs the "City of the Silent Majority." GOTKS.
