New York. Dec. 31. The following
report it published of Scheack in the
interview yesterday. In regard to the
fishery question, he said: "My impres
sion is that Great Britain is not half so
difficult to deal with, in ralation to
fisheries, a the Canadians themselves
I have reason to believe that the con
duct of the latter is not stimulated by
instructions from the mother conntry,
causes much concern to Great Britain
herself. Of coarse England will not
entirely disavow and rebuke the un
friendly manifestations ot the provinces
towards the people of this country, but
my opinion is that England feels an
noyed at the conduct of the Canadians,
and wilt probably send out a delgate to
the Government of the Dominion with
instructions to pnt a curb on their ar
rogance, and to bring them to a sense
of the duty they owe the people of the
United States. I believe that if Eng
land could, without sacrifice of her
traditional pride, give an her colonies
in America, she would most willingly
do so. If Canada would sever her con
nections with her mother country, and
declare herself an independent State,
the British Government would raise no
objection to such arrangement. The
trouble is that the Canadians stick too
closely, an I prefer to be an Eiaiish
province. England's iatereats are in
the East. Her possessions in that
quarter are means by which she can
check ambitious designs of other Pow
ers. It i9 my opinio that in the natu
ral course of events Canada will re
lapse into oar Union. He thinks that
there will be sotnethi.fr more than dol
lars and cents required in the settle
ment of the Alabama claims such as
the opening of the St. Lawrence and
the sama rights for American fishermen
as for Canadian. I could not exactly
tell in what forms oar claims are to be
presented, and what terms they will en
force; but money alone will not suffice
s eompeosatioa iue the United States
for damages sustained by fitting out
rebel cruisers during the late war,"
said the General, "we have bad enough
of feasting and toasting; we want tome
decided action on the matter, and shall
certainly try to get all the money we
can. f. can. say that the fishery ques
tion will be drawn into the disussion
along with the Alabama claims. We
shall try to obtain a settlement of all
these questions, now and forever."
He remarked that he had received no
instructions yet, but bad no doubt tbey
will leave him a very fair margin for
bis own discretion.

Land Monopolies.
Califoornia is cursed, as no o'ttier
portion of the United States has ever
been, by its most valuable lands being
monopolized by land grabbers, who
bold the surplus acres of that State in
their grasp for tbe purposes of specula
tion, and demand prices poor men can
not pay, and refase to sell except upon
tbe most exorbitant terms. No greater
misfortune can befall any new State,
with a wide breadth of unsettled and
uncultivated soil, than to have its va
cant lands become tbe property of
speculating monopolists.
For gallant service in its wars our
nation baspresejted toitssoldierslands;
and to insure that every family shall
have a homestead, our Government
has provided tbat settlement and cul
tivation shall insure one. Our laws
have ostensibly been framed for the
good of tbe common people, tbe labor
ing classes who wish to secure homes,
and this monopoly of lands by specula
tors sets at naught all.such legislation,
and is directly in conflict with the spir
it tbat animates it. California is not a
favorable spot for the poor man to set
tle, for the reason that be cannot easily
Gnd him a homestead claim there on
which be can prosper. If be wants
land, it lies within tbe limits of some
Spanish grant, some swamp land loca
tion, some purchases made by specula
tors at tbe land ofSce, and bis only
show to aecorti bis homestead seems to
be by coming to Oregon where land is
more abundant, or at least less mo
nopolized. Hew long will it be, at the present
rate of appropriation, before the same
thing can be said of Oregon! It is
true tbat over 600,000 acres have been
selected by tbe State of tbe best lands
in Oregon, and tbe State also owns the
lGtb and 3Gth sections of each town"
ship as school lands, and to that extent
the emigrant can find lands to locate
upon at reasonable price and with an
accommoding creditor in the person of
tbe State. But these lands are fast be
ing located, and what will tbe would-be-settler
do when these are no longer
in market?
By the late. act relating to swamp
lands the two million acres of such
lands in this State, destined to be the
most valuable we have, have been
thrown within the grasp ef land grab
bers, and are already claimed by greedy
and avaricious speculators. Instead of
boing carefully selected and appropri
ated by the State, so that they could be
redeemed and reserved for actual Bet-
tiers, the Democratic party, which
seems to be the most ultra in its op
position to monopolies, bas opened the
door wide for monopoly of swamp lands
in this State. Look at tbe grants made
heretofore for the construction of wag
on roads and railroads and we find
tbat the best lands of the State are
fast becoming monopolized. It was
necessary to aid these improvements,
it is true, but every such grant should
have been guarded by provisions made
in tbe interest of tbe coming settler
who should always have had the pref
erence and at Government rates.
We present tbts subject to the con
sideration ot the people, tbat every one
may recognize tbe necessity of guarding
the publing domain and reserving it
for what we consider its legitimate use,
to become homes for the people upon
tbe most favorable terms possible.
Our growth and advancement as a
State depends upon tbe advantages we
can offer tbe actual settler, and wben,
capital owns our unoccupied lands and
offers them for sale at speculative
prices, tbe chief inducement for emigra
tion will be gone, and the masses will
seek homes elsewhere.
Monopoly waits and watches its op
portunity and speculation Inrks around
the corner. Politicians are apt to for
get that they aboald be friends of tbe
people, Bad tpt laaiead tbe position
of frieads to those who have feet to
glvs for service rvadered. A great in
road Has aa aaade into the public
domain ia Oregon, and on tbe part of
the people we protest that no more
landed subsidies should be given,
eertaioly no ' floating grant," for
any purpose whatever. With the aid
already given to railrcada our State
can soon attain a position where tbe
needed public improvements will be
consummated without such aid; and
we would furthermore protest, in the
same of the people, that whenever the
present Indian Reservations shall be va
cated, they shall be thrown ffpeu to ac
tual settlement only, as are other pub
lic lauds, and in no instance be placed
within the grasp of any railroad cor
poration, or other monopoly. Democ
racy wi!l soon have the majority, as
our representatives in Congress, and
we commend this matter to the eier
cise of all their spare discretion.
The Pope's Last Curse.
The poor old Pope, Pio Nino, has as
tonished the ninteenth century by ful
minating, cot exactly a bull against
a comet, as one of his predecessors is
said to have done, but a major excom
munication against King Victor Eman
uel, who has lately proved that, how
ever infallible his spiritual kingdom
may be, bis temporal realms were
ope to aggression. It was natural
tbat Italy should be united, with the
Roman provinces included, and with
Rome itself ss the chief city of the
kingdom. This has been one of the
inevitable results of the present time,
and as the temporal power of the Roman
Pontiff conflicted with the hopes of
Italy that power has ceased to exist.
It may possibly be tbat some one
has forged a document in tbe name of
nis Holiness, the Pope, but it is not
orobable. and we are favored with a
publication, at length, of a string of
curses, said to be officially uttered,
tbat take us back to the dark ages
when superstition ruled the world,
and church and State were allies, the
church being most dreaded and most
powerful. Those days are past.
Europe has cot left within its bounds
a -single State, save it be poor priest
ridden Portugal, tbat forbids tbe right
of conscience, or impose the Romish
worship upon its subjects.
If the Pope has really issued this
fierce string of curses, he has merely
proved tbat in bis blind old dotage he
neither comprehends tbe human nature
of our day nor the era of progress in
i which we live. Tbe time was when
! the most dreaded thing was papal ex
; communication, but that time is long
past, and to-day tbe spirit of religious
' toleration which rules the world gives
promise of a happy day millenial
perhaps when man shall look higher
than the dictum of hii fellow man, and
j learn duty directly from the worl of
I God. Of all tbe strange things which
j tave been brought about in this nine
I teenlh century, tbe strangest of all is
i the emancipation of Europe from its
long bondage to superstition and re
ligious intolerance.

Thr TATLoa Family. We desire to
record before it becomes too late that
the Taylor family are an unmitigated
success. Tbe leading member of this
family the only ones who came to
Salem were Taylor himself and his
nose, which is so huge that tbey are
supposed to have been born twins.
Taylor's nose and the rest of the fam
ily, assisted by Prolessor Barney's
violin, gave an entertainment here on
Saturday night tbat was free to all
comers. Those fellows who camo
sneaking in a little late and thought
they stole fun, were bilked, because
the Taylor family having rebelled
agninst the city ordinances by refusing
to pay a license, to avoid so doing
gave back the cash paid for tickets and
made a free exhibition of themselves,
receiving an occasional shower of
ilver coin during the performance
which they eyed with apparent eatifac
tiou. While we think they treated lh
city very shabbily in disregarding an
ordinance which wehelped as Alderman
to puss, they paid handsomely tor tbe
notice we gave them oa Saturday, and
we now give them a receipt in full.
That family nose bad better not in
trude ou this town again until after

Havre, Dec. 30. Roy yesterday car
ried the Prussian positions on the
heiifhu ot Bouiile, or Ival Ld Chateau
Rebidt, afier fighting six hours. Tbe
loss was small on both sides
London, Dec. 31. Further accounts
from Havre admit that tbe Prussians
retook and beld Buille for a short
time, but were afterwards driven off
with considerable loss. The French
assert that tbe Prussians at one time
offered to surrender, whereupon the
French ceased firing, but as a party ap
proached to receive tbeir surrender,
they were fired into at' poitt blank
range, and tbe battle was resumed.
Paris, Dec. 22 The losses of Du-
crot's army during the late sorties
were heavy, and serious enough to
render it necessary to reconstruct tbe
army of defence.
Bordeaux, Dec. 31. Gen. Faid
herbe, commanding the army of tbe
North, is again in motion. In the east
the Prussians retreat before the French
advance. It is reported that the Prus
sian cavalry have become almost use
lets since tbe recent enow and frost.
In consequence of tbe severe weather
and difficulty of keeping communica
tions open, the Prussians around Paris
have been reserved in their move
ments. London, Jan. 1. Siege artillery ar
rived before Meung yesterday. Tbe
bombardment has commenced. A bat
tle is expected near Haricourt, with
Treskou's force and ten thousand
French. General Manteufftl reports
that on Saturday five battalions left
Mouen, encountered a French brigade,
droveit into the Castle of Robert Le
Diable, which was subsequently storm
ed by the Prussians. The French loss
was 100 killed and prisoners. The
losses of the besieging forces, during
tbe bombardmr ut of fort Avron, are
reported at 8,000.
Advices from Paris to December 29.
represent that trie larger portion of the
army of Prince Frederick Charles h
joined the besiegeis of Paris as rein
forcements. It is reported that Kaure Paera has
formed iu Paris a corpi of 12,000 vol
unteers, who have sworn to cut tbeir
way through the Prussian lines, and to
organize a levy on the provinces.
Bordeaux, Jan. 1. Geo. Cbaucey
announces that Gen. Jouffty attacked
the enemy on the left batik of the Loire,
uear Vendome, and defeated him, tak
ing 200 prisoners. Cbaucey adds tbat
he will continue a forward movement.
Vers.silles, Dec. 27. Everything ii
ready for bombardment on a terrific j
scale, simultaneously, in circle, around !
the devoted city. All officers have j
gone to tbe front. The artillery com- j
inenced firing on the French outposts. I
Madrid, Dec 31. Gen. Prim died!
this tnorningat 1 o'clock. Ail engaged
in his assassination escaped. Tbe
death of Prim produced a profound seu
Sttton of grief all over Spain. The
Republican militia hattalumt ot Madrid
nearly all surrendered their arms by
order of the Government of Madrid.

The New City of Kalama. The !
Northern Pacific Railroad Company Dot ;
long since purchased live hundred acres ;
of land on tbe north bank of tbe Co- j
lunibia ri'er, upon which they are lay-
ing out a new towu to be called Kalnma, ,
after tbe Indian niaf of a on all stream :
which puts into tbe Columbia, near by. i
At this place the couijmrjy will erect '
docks, depots and warehouses, and j
will make it for the present tbe head- j
quarters of their engineering and coc- I
slrnrtiou departments. The towu sile i
is situated upon tbe bottom land of the j
Columbia, which is hereabout a half)
mile wide, and which gradually rits
to a bih pleateau totvaidlhe mountain
range. The river in front is deep '
enough for vessels of any draught. !
Altogether, from the description we
eel of it, tbe place 8 uatnrlly adapted
for a town site; the declared iutetitian '
nf tbe cotnpany to make it the depot i
for all business between Pui;et Sound !
and tbe Columoia river, elevates it at j
once into importance. It is tbe pur- '
pose of tbe company to construct tbe 1
Columbia and Puget Sound section !
from Kalama to seme point on the
Sound, and then to use the Columbia
river aa tbe highway by which tor tbe
present ( probably till the overland
runk shall be built) to connect with I
the interior. Thus, for all practical
purposes, Kalama will be the terminus
of not ouly the railroad, but one or
more lines of steamers and sailing ves
sels. A clearing parly is already at
work on the first twenty-five mile sec
tion leading from Kalama toward Pnget
Sound, and urrnugeineuts have been
made for the beginning of active oper
ations on a largo scale, as early as
practicable in tbe spring. Twenty-five
hundred tons of rails have already been
shipped from New York to ! landed at
Kalama, and is expected lhaf the brst
section will be completed by tbe 4th of
July, 1871.

wishes us to explain that he did not

What a Half Acbb Will Do. A
shoemaker in Jersey bought a half-acre
lot. lie was food of fruiiand read tbe
papers. Tbe soil was wet clay, and
be selected fruit to tbe climate. He
built a bouse and put bis land in con
dition to produce fruit. He bad no
manner but the droppings of the street
cattle. Io bis leisure he brought from
the woods bark, rotten wood, uos
and leaf mould, wbicb he mixed with
the soil three feet deep. This was
done by degrees, aod as fast as tbe
ground waj prepared he planted fruit.
Be became so interested and success
ful that be retired from bis cobbblet's
bench. His half acre supported him
self and wife comfortably almost in
elegance. She had no servant, and
bad plenty of lime to cultivate flowers.
Strangers inquired about their beauti
ful home. Isabella grapes and com
mon curants formed the balk of his
fruit. With a better selection his in
come would have been larger. Others
had tbe same success on small pieces
of ground. One man supported his
family on an acre. Half was in grapes,
the crop of which in one season sold
for $800, and no bills to pay. If con
traction brings success let us know it
and practice it.
