W ashington , May 4 th.— Copp's
Land Owner for May contains the fol­
lowing decision of the Interior Depart­
ment in the case of Bellows et, al,
owners of the Champion mine : It is
held that the party who entered the
land under the homestead laws and re­
ceived a patent therefor acquired no
title to the known mines therein.
The owners of such mines may make
application for a patent the same as
though no homestead entry had been
allowed covering their claims. All
mines located in the Black Hills, Dako­
ta Territory,' should be recorded, to
fully insure them in regard to title.
Therefore where such locations were
made prior to the ratification of the
treaty, to-wit: February 28, 1877, in
the case of Mull vs. Rolls A Ross, it is
held that where the land lias t>een re­
turned as agricultural in character on
a township plat, but the township is
afterwards withdrawn as mineral land,
the burden of proof is shifted upon the
agricultural claimant, to show no min­
eral character of the tracts he claims.
The donation Act of 1850 expired by
limitation December I, 1855, and .set­
tlers under that Act will not be al­
lowed, after the expiration of the Act,
to set up a claim to lands falling out­
side of their original notification, and
over which they have exercised no le­
gal control. Tho heirs or devisees of
a deceased homestead claimant cannot
be held responsible for the failure of a
public officer to administer upon the
estate, ami that statute does not run
against the heirs during the time
which elapsed after the death of the
claimant and the date the administra­
tor takes charge of the estate, provid­
ing the heirs are without notice of
their rights, and the estate is admin­
istered upon within seven years.
Where the party who has made a tim­
ber culture entry fails to do the break­
ing required by the Act of March 13,
1874, within one year, his entry should
l>e canceled upon satisfactory proof of
such failure. Homestead claimants
can now make their final proof before
the Judge, instead of being compelled
to travel to the local land offices.
The Republican claimants for State offices
in South Carolina have succumbed.

latest dispatch ‘from London says:
Public opinion has settled to the con­
clusion that the Eastern war will be
of long duration aod inevitably involve
other nations than the present combat­
ants, for these reasons :
First—Russia’s real purpose is to en­
large tier sea coast, a policy which
she cannot forego pursuing relentless­
ly, while it is difficult to see how she
can permanently hold anything worthy
of her struggle without occupying Con­
stantinople and securing command of
the straits connecting the Mediter­
ranean with the Black Sea, or landing
troops in Egypt. Either of these
step- must certainly provoke armed in­
tervention by other powers.
Second—Russia’s immense internal
resources and her popular enthusiasm
in this war insure great tenacity of
purpose.
Third—The Turks are brave and
will fight desperately, realizing that
their nationality and religion are at
stake.
Again—The Russians will find it ex­
ceedingly difficult to exercise effect­
ively her clear belligerent right of
blockade without provoking the hos­
tility of commercial nations interested
in the Black Sea, Suez canal or the
Dardanelles.
American bread producers may

In a debate in the Senate, February
25, 1875, Senator Thurman made some
remarks which may be made applica­
ble hereafter in case of a writ of quo
warranto about the Presidency. Mr.
Thurman said : “SupjMH© a contest
of the office of President. Suppose
that one man is declared, in pursuance
of the Constitution, to be President of
the United States ; of course, theu he
is inaugurated ; and then a contest is
begun by guo warranto in the Circuit
Court of the United States ; that Cir­
cuit Court enters a decree ousting the
President from his office, an appeal is
taken to the Supreme Court, and the
Supreme Court affirms the decision.
How are you going to enforce it ? It
is made the duty of the President to
see that the laws are faithfully exe­
cuted. How are you going to enforce
that ? The Supreme Court has no
power to do it. It commands no army;
it has no treasury. How rii) you en­
force a judgment of ouster against the
man who is de facto President of the
United States and has tile army at his
back ? Was it ever intended by our
fathers that any such state of case as
that should arise ? It seems to me
certainly not. It seems that these
considerations abundantly show that
the idea of contesting the office of
Chief Magistrate oT the United States
in any Court whatever is not to be en­
tertained for a moment.
