Culberson, Townshend, Pavson and Manning of the House Judiciary committee have presented a minority report in the matter declaring forfeited a ipart of the land grant of the Northern Pacific railroad company. The report says: The undersigned liave no means of knowing pretisely how much land has been earned 13T the com- ,pany, but estimating it at 30,000, 000 of ares and appraising the unsold portion at $2.r0 per acre, which the auditor supposes to be reasonable, and we have 3,0S3,- 953 acres sold for $11,565,466.05, 26,916,0.47 acres unsold at $2.50, 867,290,117.50; total, $78,855, 581.15, or $3,854,584 more than the auditor's estimate of the entire cost of the company's lines sub sidized and unsubsidized. J3ut when applied to the lines as con structed and to be constructed, f namely 2,409A- miles, the result stands as follews: Value of lands already earned $78,855,584.15; cost o"f 2,409 miles at $28,000, G7,4GG,000; surplus, $14,389, 584.15; or assuming the mean between the estimates of the auditor and the president of the company and between the average price of the lands already sold and the auditor's estimate of $2.50 per acre, the following will be the result: 3,0S3,954 acres sold at $3,75, $11,5G5,4GG.G."; 20,919, 047 acres unsold at $3.1 2A S4,122,021.S7; total, S95.GS7, 487.52. Cost of 2,409A- miles road at $33,407.05, $S0,-J94,-932.75; surplus, ! 5.192,554.77; or applying this estimate of the value of the lands earned to the es timated cost of the entire mad as submitted by the president of the company, the. figures stand thus: Value of lands earned as above, $95,GS';,4S7.52: estimated cost of entire road, $93,r2G,(GS.G; sur plus, $2,100,818.00. ft is reasonable, therefore, to con clude that this company has already ceived and will receive, if only so much land as it has earned by con struction, say to Jan. 1, 1882, shall be patented to it, an amount sttf ficent to pay for the construction of its entire; subsidized line, even upon the estimates furnished hy its own chief officer. J3ut, in ad dition to the foregoing considera tions, the undersigned beg leave to submit that when the various acts making grants of land to aid in the construction of railroads were passed-by congress it was the settled belief of those by whom the grants were made that unless tho roads were constructed within the times limited in those acts, no right to those lands would pas. It may be set down to a cer tainty not only that this road will - be. completed by some company without the aid of the lands un earned by construction, but that it will be worth all it may cost, and there are no good reasons et apparent why the people should pay the cost of its construction, and present the company with a colossal fortune besides. The American Version. The stories told by -Admiral Nicholson and Commander Batch elder, of the U. S. Navy, relative to the Egyptian trouble, are quite different from the version which has come through English sources. They say that the preliminary riot at Alexandria was a purely an acci - dental affair, arising out ol a fight Between a Greek and an Arab. They represent popular sentiment as almost entirely in favor of Ara- bi. That simple fact ought to .set tle the question as far as Ameri can sympathies are concerned. Wo .. believe in the right of a ccunlry to choose their own rulers and to conduct their own affairs without . coercion and prce from other na ttaoos. -If the British were now en "" decroring to occupy the country I permanently and give to it a high- j or order o civilization, the c.iso ' would be different, but they ate :simplv contending for the su;rcm " " : acv ot a hhaiit jrovernraent, to be ,- ""-" under the .control of the usurers i of foreign "oountrie-, under no re ; tponsibility to rnndtua tliotnlvc inodcratulv and d ; ntiv. A mmtki: of eouitv t present attracts ilic- attention of a uooil many; it may lu thus brit-fly stated. Eighteen wars aijo a re- j bellious Japanese prince commit ted certain acts of hostility against crews of vessels in a Japanese port. The were English, French, German and American, and their government demanded satisfaction. Satisfaction, with the United States, meant money... and the Japanese government paid our government $783,000. The Ty coon was not responsible, but h paid the money, and though it .aj proved at the time that the : m age inflicted was notonetwent'-tii part ot the sunt demanded, the United Slates government tool. it. After eighteen years, congress has concluded that it ought' to be paid back, but certain sapient legishi tors say that the interest which has been accruing on that sum should be kept in the country. Thouffh thev cannot see how it is to their interest to pay the piiuei pal, yet il is evident to all that it is not their principle to pay the interest. If one is paid the other should be. The whole thing has the flavor of a swindle about it. The foul story set afloat some thirteen years ago by Mrs. Har riet Bcecher Stowe concerning the family relations of Lord Byron has received its final quietus by the publication in London of the letters of Lady Byron to Augusta Leigh. Of course everybody who has over heard the story, except the good lady who took pains to propagate it, hoped, for the credit of human nature, not to speak of the reputation of a man of genius, that the story might be pi overt untrue. Difficult as it notoriously is to prove a negative, ir appears that this proof has now happily been discovered, and everybody will be gratified except as before, Mrs. Stowe, to whom proof that, her foul story was also an untrue story will no doubt be a great blow. Byron did and said many things in his time to shock hottest people, but he did and said much more to shock hypoetiles and canters, and it "was as spokes woman of hypoctites and oatiN r, and not of the honest peo ple, that .Mrs. Stowe appeased on her own retainer as Devil's Advocate in his case. Jatjcst advices from Kjcvpl in dicate jjrowinp; dissatisfaction at England's course, on the part of other European powers. English troops are being shipped to Alex andria, and Aralii Bey busies him self by further fortifying his posi tion. De Lcsseps, the builder of the Suez canal, presents tho must striking figure in the present pano rama, lie seems to be a sort of active partner of Arabi's; one de fies England, and the ne.t bids the Turkish sultan tremble. That he has considerable influence with the natives and the insurgents under Arabi, is evinced by the fact that passports signed by him insure protection to travelers, while little regard "is paid to the finnans of either khedive or sultan. It is charged and admitted that General Stoneman, candidate for the office of governor of Caliior nia, asked anU obtained passes irom the railroad companies on private business, though the ollice which he held particular!- de mands that the iucumbenl bo entirely free from any entangling obligations to such corporations. If this be so one can but exclaim: "How have the mighty fallen!' He should be beaten out of sigh t. It will no doubt bring sorrow to many worthy people who hail begun to indulge in congratula tions, but the truth should be told at all events. The Keely who was murdered in New York recently, was not the motor man. NEW TO-DAY Sale. Tin: no.vT and silt or iuv. latk Alfred "West will Ik m11 at auction at .1. o.
