Payson, an Illinois irfember of the house committe'on judiciary, who has taken ,a very active part in the matter of the lapsed railroad land grants, and who declared himself in favor of the forfeiting of all un earned lands, is devoting the holi day recess to collecting additional details bearing on the subject. At the department of the interior to day he ascertained that the Oregon Central road has constructed a few miles under its grant and that it contains upwards of a million and a half acres of land be tween Portland and Astoria upon which settlers are very desirous of entering. With a view to throw ing this land open to settlement under the homestead law Payson has prepared a resolution declaring, it forfeited and hopes to have it acted upon by the house judiciary committee at the next meeting. In conversation with represent atives of the press to-day on the general question of forfeiture of land grants, Paj'son said that the indications were quite favorable for consideration of the subject in the hnuse before the adjournment of the present session. So the "Astoria land graut" is getting an airing before congress at last. Our congressional delegation have been active in the work of directing attention to this subject. We are glad to see that members from other states are aiding in the good work. We are informed that female suffrage prevails to some extent in Scotland, the ladies exercising the right to vote at municipal elections. In at least two towns the right -was largely taken ad vantage of at the election last month. In the city of Perth, where there was a contest in only one ward, between fifty and sixty ladies cast their ballots, the male voters looking upon it as a matter of course. In the town of Sterling the votes of the ladies were in great demand, and several council men owe their election to the bal lots of their fair friends. While Scotland seems to be conservative in many resoects, it certainly can not be said that she is so in poli tics, as there the problem" of woman's fights appears to bo solved to an extent which must gratify the advocates of that cause. The London Times says: ""We can no longer exist without Amer ica. The country of which, within recent memory, we were childishly and vindictively jealous, now proves to be the country by which to a great extent we live. It sends us corn by the hundreds of ship- lead: Its beef competes with ours, or rather becomes ours, and is sold at our natfve prices, under the hands of the enterprising English butchers. While to the Roman po et the thought of getting fish from the Caspian was the thought of odious luxury, with us it is the classes that cannot afford the Tay or the Tweed that send to the Co lumbia river for their salmon." Thr Chicago Inter-Ocean in response to the reflections cast upon our nary, says: "The French nowspapers sneer at the American navy. So do our own. No body cares a tinker about that, but no newspapers on the face of the earth sneer at our crops of wheat and corn, our financial credit, and our courage on laud or at sea when courage is needed. The United States was never whipped by any nation on the globe, and 'never will be, and that is one of the best reasons for not having a navy." The New York Sun states that William H. Vanderbilt is seen more frequently in public of late than formerly. He has been a Tery regular visitor to the Wind sor Hotel during the evenings. A weil-kaown broker had 'confiden tially from Vanderbilt's broker '"tkatanderbilt made $20,000,000 in tb stock market during the past year. A railroad man said: VaHeterbilt fixes hk own salary flr'pcesknt joV the New York CrtX at S5,00p yearly."

A few stragglers on each side may keep up a scattered fire, but the contest is over, and the victors have moved on to other fields."
