Chronicle, says: in the report whicn accom panied tho"biIl introduced in the senate by Garland, proriding for the forfeiture of railroad grants in aertain cases, the judiciary ck mittee s&ys: "Without uadertak ing to decide whether, in all grants by the United State to railroads congressmen can declare this forfeiture, the committee con sidered it best to adopt some means that would avoid this question and'lacc the parties in an attitudo towards eachother that would insrc to each fair dealing and justice as far as can be dose. They propose to direct the attorney-general to institute proper judicial proceedings jigain&t any railroad companies that he may hayc reason to believe are in de iault, and the conditions of their grants to brimr about forfeiture and secure the rights of the gor ernment to the lands. This pro ceeding, in the nature of informa tion, will bring the supposed de faulting companies into court, to be heard in defense against tke proposed forfeiture, and the court can enter such judgment or decree as in its opinion will secure the government, not merely in declar ing the forfeits re if it need be, but in declaring the resumption of the lands granted, an appeal to be allowed as in other cases in court," The question asked by the holders of the Astoria Land Grant, "What arc you going to do about it?" may be answered by congress in a manner that may be more emphatic than satisfactory to the nabobs whose game io exclusion of settlers from Clatsop county. Ben in II is Glory A JiosTON dispatch of the -ith says: No inauguration in recent yuats bus becii so popularly at tended as Butler';?. Hours before tilt time for hi to ippcar flio halls and pa&sngos were crowded, and the throng overflowed down the hroad steps and extended even to the common. Butler read his ad dress, in that style which has be come familiar in public speeches, frequent touches of humor enlir cned it and applause was inter spcricd as profusely as in any of his stump speeches. Off-hand in terpolations were made. Speaking of the abolition of poll tax as a qualification for suffrage, ho inter jected the words, t;And such men as Harvard students." His argu ment for (vomas suffrage was lib erally applauiod. "When urging reform in varioni departments, ho said that formerly the Military was under the commander-in-chief. His earnest recommendation of the death penalty for persons attempt ing to wreek,or actually wrecking, railroad trains, was applauded. He said the legislature was one of tke tvrst benches for the ascertain ment of facts, but he won sympa thetic applause from women in the galleries when lie asked for a better chance for convicts to re form, and they laughed when he said that when bright children were all educated it would be time to establish schools for the idiotic and feeble-minded youth. It was nearly 3:30 when Butler ended his two-and a half-hour address. The Rev. Joseph Cook says the useven modern wonders of the world" are: The speed of inter communication; the self-reformation o the hermit nations; the parallel advance of education and democracy the world over; the world-wide unity of civilization; the triumph of Christianity; the correct fulfillment of Bible prophe cies, and the establishment on a sure basis, of scientific supernatc ralism. PEXDLirrox's civil service bill has passed both houses of con gress and only awaits the presi dent's signature to become a law The Reno, Not., Gazette ?ays that every week buildings arebeing torn down in Virginia City and ; skipped to that place to bo re-, erected. Once a town commences I to move on wheels it is only a ques tion ol timo xs to its final exit. Tiie fact that Mrs. Langtry never reads the papers, suggests to many thinking minds the idea that she would make an excellent juryman. Tiieub were 10,500 more deaths than births in the city of N"aw York during 1SS2. The public debt was leducod 513.000,000 during December. 2JEW TO-DAY AS TOR HOUSE. TIIHO.
