[Special to the Rioohd-Union.)
WASHINGTON, January 3d.— The acting
Commissioner of the General Land Office to
day made a ruling that iv any ca&e where a
Mexican land claim has been confirmed by a
District Court, and no appeal has heen pre
sented within the five years prescribed by
law, a certificate from the Clerk of the Court
will be accepted by the General Land Office
as sufficient evidence of the finality of the
proceedings upon the question of title. The
acting Commissioner also ruled, a few days
ago, that, in the event of its being found that
a confirmed claim is completely surrounded
by the surveys already made by the United
States authorities of other confirmed private
land claims, there is no necessity of retracing
in the field the lines of these surrounding
surveys, and the Surveyor-General may
therefore complete a plat from the official
field-notes of the approved surveys on file in
his office. This ruling seemed to be in con
flict with the doctrine laid down by the Sec
retary of the Interior in his subsequent de
cision in the Corte de Madera case, but it is
observable that the latter decision was made
with reference to lines run by State authori
ties, not Federal surveys, and which also
only partially, and not completely, bounded
the tract in question.
Acting Commissioner Armstrong further
calls attention to the fact that in cases where
one of the boundaries is a meandering stream,
which may have materially changed its course
during a term of years, a new survey in favor
of the inclosed grant would very possibly be
at the expense of previously surveyed exte
rior grants, and that, in such case, it would
be manifestly improper to insist upon the at
tempt to retrace in the field the former lineß
of survey.
A patent was issued to-day for that portion
of the Kancho Cabeza de Santa Kosa which
was confirmed to John Hendly. It com
prises 040 acres of very valuable property,
near Sonoma City, Cal.
PKBBONNEL OF THE KORTT-SIXTH CONGRESS.
A statement just compiled here shows that
of the 76 members of the United States Sen
ate, 59 are practicing lawyers, and that no
less than 219 out of the total 293 members of
the House of Representatives are lawyers.
Besides -these, there are in the House 25 mer
chants, 5 bankers, 3 capitalists, 5 manufac
turers, 12 farmers, 2 millers, 1 stonecutter
(Murch of Maine), 4 editors, G physicians, 'J
teachers and 2 ministers, viz : De La Matyr
of Indiana and Anderson of Kansas (form
erly of San Francisco and Stockton, Cal.).
In the Senate, besides the lawyers, there are
8 merchants or other business men, 4 plant
ers or farmers, 1 doctor, 1 editor, 1 banker, 1
mine-owner and operator, and 1 Senator of
no profession or business, unless it be politics.
CHANT'S OPINION OF WASHINGTON CITY.
During General Grant's vi.-it here, and at
one of the dimiers given in his honor, he was
asked which city among all he had visited he
liked the best, and the reply came <)uick!y :
"Washington; t think it is the handsomest
city in the world.'' This little straw i.s one
of many that have shown that the ex-Presi
dent is by no means averse to taking quar
ters in this city again.
SXBOB PFI.I.A COSTA,
Minister from Venezuela, who has long been
one of the most popular members of the
diplomatic corps in Washington, will leave
in a few days for a trip to California, intend
ing to remain there and eUewhere in the
West until next autumn.

Pi«-3t.'<l E |> at Sea
Baltimore, January 3d. — The Italian bark
Giacomino arrived this morning. She brought
the following -passengers and crew of the lost
steamer Borussia, who were picked up at sea
250 miles off the Azores : Passengers — John
S. Sullivan, Owen McCabe Ross, Andro
Gonzales, Gaetino Salvato, Charles Deintos.
Crew — Win. Southerland, second engineer;
J. F. Lawson, Bernard Gertoz, Wm. Fisher,
Patrick Sura and John Callaghnn, seamen.
All reported to the British Consul for relief.
They are in a very destitute condition. They
suffered greatly in the open boat before being
rescued. The party vas in metallic life-boat
No. 3, having Sjot into it on the evening of
December 3d, well provided with coarse food
and water. The sea ran very high during
the night, and the boat was at the mercy of
the waves. The gale continued the next
day. A bark was sighted, but the crew were
unable to attract her attention. That night
the sea calmed down. They were steering
for Fayal, and the weather moderated and
the sea remained calm until midnight of the
4th. Sharks followed them day and night
until one was pierced with a boathook, and
the rest left. On the morning of the sth the
wind, which had been gradually rising, blew
very hard, and they changed ' their course
from east to west. | Kunning before the wind,
they discovered a sail bearing directly for
them at about 4 P. M. on the sth. By waiv
ing blankets and handkerchiefs and pulling
direct for the sail, they attracted the atten
tion of those on board, and were taken on the
Giacomino and arrived to-day. ' The life
boat was cast adrift. All speak in terms of
the warmest praise of Captain Bonifacio, of
the Giacomino, who gave them clothing and
neceKsaries. ■ • ■;
i'Jglil Agaln.xt tin- Reappoinlnient or «iov
ernor Emery, of Mali.
Salt Lake City, January 3d.— The fight
against the reappointment of Governor
Emery still continues, and 1,400 names,
signed to vigorous protests, have been for
warded to President Hayes. His appoint
ment would be a Mormon triumph, as they
have been working hard for him. At the
Zion's Co-operative Institution 800 names of
Mormons have been secured to a petition for
his reapppintrpent— among them Apostle and
Mayor Little — but fearing their over-zeal in
his behalf would injure his cause in Wash
ington, the petition • was ordered destroyed.
Btfcre departing for Washington this week,
Apostle Cannon said Hayes had promised to
reappoint Kmery, but no confidence could be
placed in his statements. Cannon also said,
if Emery were retained, the Utah Legisla
tjre, composed entirely of polygamists,
could ■ pass laws to forestall Congressional
action in Utah affairs — meaning by this that
Emery would sign any bill the poly^amists
would p;>ss to stave off special legislation by
Congress, as in the case of the election ■ law
passed by the last Legislature, which virtu
ally disfranchised Gentiles, and under which
they have never voted tir.ee. If the Presi
dent nominates Emery, the Gentile? will de
feat his confirmation by the Senate.
ParnrllVAddreHs to Men or .>l<-:ilh.
t New York, January ■ Parnell and
Dillon received a Boston delegation to-day ;
also an address to men of Meath. ■ Parnell,
replying, said Meath presented a remarkable
spectacle 'among hU . Iri<h ' constituents for
atcadfastneps — a fact that might be of inter
est to native-born Americans who considered
immigration a remedy for all sorts of evils.
He would s»y, however, that though Meath
was : the richest county in Ireland, her resi
dents had j nevertheless been ' brought \to a
point of preat suffeiing. i In Ireland, monop
oiiati had adopted a system ci rent*, while
here a railway : corporation fystem \ of sales
was in vopiie : , but he would not undertake
to point out the expediency at present of the
rLlit or wrong of lar«e grants being made to
railway corporations. v; . : - •■■ . ... .,.•■ •* \

a weilkcown Cherokee raiding here, made
an argument before the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs to-day in support of the petition
filed by him praying that lie be put in pos-
of the hotel propeity at Vinita, Indian
Territory. Col W. P. Adair, Second Chief
of the Cherokee Xation, with several other
members of the Cherokee delegation, and ex
Congressman Phillips, of Kansas, opposed
Boudinet's claim. The discussion became so
warm the acumen t was adjourned ten days
by the Commissioner. Boudinet and Adair,
however, continued the controversy in a
heated manner outside the Commissioner's
room. Finally, each struck at the other with
a cane, and then clinched and fell to the floor.
They were then separated by thu Department
watchman, and before serious injury was in
flicted. The fiVht caused much excitement

«;.n. ml Hutch at Later City, wllh Several
Indian Chiefs.
Washington, January 3d. — Secretary
Schurz, at a late hour last night, received a
telegram from General Hatch, dated at Lake
City. It reports that he has brought several
Indian chiefs from the reservation to Lake
City with him ; that they are held by him
for the purpose of preventing any demonstra
tion by the young men of the tribe ; that he
desires to take them to the military camp at
Garland, and, if deemed advisable, to send
one of them back to see whether a surrender
cannot still be effected. He expresses the
hope that this may yet be accomplished. The
dispatch also refers to the subject of rations,
but does not clear up the uncertainty in hip
former dispatches to tMfc Department. Secre
tary Schurz immediately replied to thatdis
patch by telegraph, requesting information
upon the following points : Whether »he
Wnite River Utes offered for surrender are
still in Ouray's power, or whether they have
been released ; also, what chiefs are with Gen
eral Hatch, and of what bands ; also, whether
there is any prospect of General Hatch g«t
ting into his possession Chief Douglass and
the ion of Douglass, and other culprits of
importance, who were recently offered for
surrender. His propositi«n to take the In
dians now with him to Camp Garland is ap
proved ; and as he expresses hope that the
complete surrender may still be accomplished,
he is requested to say what, in his opinion,
can be done by the direction of Washington
authorities to afd him. In conclusion, Secre
tary Schi>rz telegraphs that he will send to
General Hatch a dispatch to be read to the
Indian delegation and also to the Indians at
their reservation, immediately after his
answer to the foregoing inquiries shall have
been received here.
Washington, January 3d.— Ex-Governor
Hunt, of Colorado, has received the follow

were crowded. Several people fell into the
dock, but were rescued. When the south
wall fell, a number of firemen were on the
roof of an adjoining buildinj.', and the fol

dispatch to the Department of State, confirms
the report that the Government of Mexico
j has authorized the State Government of Co-
I lima to construct a broad-eautre railroad fi om
Manzanillo to Colima,' and will pay a subsidy
of $12,877 per mile, guaranteed by eight per
cent, on import duties, aa fast as each mile v
completed. Lumber for sleepers and other
uses may be cut free of charge, and all articles
imported for the road will be duty free. No

party. ' The route is nearly level, and was
j surveyed by Rosecrans. . The subsidy will
pay at least seventy-five per cent, of the cost
of the road, v.-hich may be extended to the
City of Mexico, and can be made to connect
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The State
of Colima will assign the franchise to a good
American company. ' -

[SriCUI, BT TKLEORAI'I! TO THE RBCORD-rHlOlf.]
Chetekne (Wyoming Territory), January
4th. — Now that the Ute delegation, under
Ouray, and their prisoners are en route East
through southern Colorado, the following
from the Cheyenne Leader of this date will
explain whether they . are liable to reach
their destination if the people of Colorado
can intercept them. The letter is to the
Pueblo Chieftain:
MRS. HEEKEK'S LETTER.
Grrelev (Col.), December 30, 1379.
To the Editor of the Chieftain— Dear Sir I
arise from a sick bed to state a few facts which you
and the people of Colorado demand. We three,
captives of the Utes (Mrs. Price, myself and
daughter), were all interviewed separately, beinc
under oath, by officers at ihe Government to tell the
whole truth of our treatment by the Indians, and if
they had outraged our persons, and each one if us
gave in our testimony in answer in the affirmative
against the Indians. I gave in my testimony fur the
use of the Government, to do with it just as they
saw fit. There was nothing said about it being snp
pressed on either side. ' I just simply gave my tes
timony to the Government officers, "innocently sup
posing they knew their duty and would do it. I
also thought I had done all that belongs to me to
do by tolling these officers the sickening and
most humiliating- misfortune that can befall a
woman, and if they and the Interior Department
have not done flitir duty by the people of Colorado,
it is they who are 10 blame and uot I. On arriving
at niv ho-jie in Oreeley I found myself completely
broken down ii mind and body, and have had a
long- ■pel] of severe sickness, from which I am just
recovering. Yours truly,
UIIS. N, C. MEEKKII.
INDIGNATION OF THE PEOPLK.
This direct evidence from Mrs. N. C,
Meeker, that herself, daughter and Mrs.
Price were outraged by the hostile Ute3, has
awakened the people to a proper sense of the
enormous crimes committed by the hostiles.
The people had hoped and were prepared to
believe that the persons of the female cap
tives remained unharmed ; but the truth is
out in full, and the indignation is strong and
widespread. It seems fortuitous that Mrs.
Meeker's letter was first published in Pueblo,
for the Government designs transporting the
Indians over the Atcbison, Topeka and Santa
Fe road, in order ; to escape the fury of a
prospective mob in Denver. But we mis-
I take the temper of the Southern Colorado
people if they do net capture the hostiles in
the b.and under General Hatch and kill them
instantly. It is not improbable that the
publication <>f Mrs. Meeker's letter in Pueblo
at this time involves an intention to post the
people and bring about the desired result.
Newspaper men here have iong known of the
inside history of the captivity of the women,
but refrained from using the same in defer
ence to the women themselves. But now
that Mrs. Meeker has made public the story
of her terrible wrongs, there can be no
harm in telling it nil. Immediately after
captivity the women .were forced, under
THREATS OF TOUTi'RE AND SLOW DEATH,
To yield to the hut o! their hideous captors.
The women, suffering untold agony on ac
count of the murder of their husbands and
fathers, were dazed and bewildered, and were
po^-erless to resist. Poor old Mrs. Meeker,
over sixty years of age, and (Offering from a
flesh wound in the rear portion of her thigh,
became the victim of Douglass, who after
wards boasted of his protecting care. Joseon*
me Meeker was held by Persune, and Mrs.
Price hy Johnson. The unbearable indignities
were simply augmented by other Utes, friends
of the three mentioned. In the hellish out
rages the bucks were assisted by the squaws.
These women savages seemed to gloat over
the horrors perpetrated upon the white cap
tives of their own sex. During their captivity
the sufferings of the three women were inde
scribably horrible. Xhe hellUh fiends re
newed their crimes time and time again. The
poor women feared they would never be de
livered from a thralldom worse than death,
for death is unconsciousness, while their ex-
istence was a living death and an earthly hell
every day. As if all this were not sad
enough, the woes of young Josephine are in
creased by a condition that is believed to be
horrible in the extreme. Female acquaint
ances say that a knowledge thereof causes a
shudder to rack the frame of every one who
hears the sad tale.
Suicide.

Fkiin an i n.s a, January 4th.— General Grant
and party arrived here this morning from
Savannah by the steamer City of Bridge
town. Crowds of people, white and colored,
lined the streets to welcome the guests.
Gene- j Grant and party were at once driven
to a iiotel. To-morrow a public reception in
the City Hall takes place, and in the evening
a grand ball will be friven. The party leave
here Tuesday for Jacksonville, and from
there go up the St. Johns and Ocklawaha

in the shade. The General's reception here
and throughout the South had been very
pleasing to him, and had been participated in
by all classes. To-night the hotel and park
are illuminated and a band has serenaded the
General.
Opposition Organizing.
[Special to the Kkcoko-Ukioh.]
Washington, January 4th.— The mem
bers of the House Committee on Commerce
are organizing a strong opposition to the pro
posed new rule requiring the reference of the
annual river and harbor bill, after its prepa
ration by the Commerce Committee, to the
Committee on Appropriations. They say
that if they cannot be depended on to prepare
a suitable bill and report their work directly
to the House, they will not take any action
whatever in the premises, but will let the
Committee on Appropriations take all charge
of the matter. The feeling against the pro
posed rule is very general, especially among
the Southern members, who believe that their
section will be more liberally dealt with if
the Committee on Commerce is permitted to
continue in control of the river and harbor
bill.

qucsteu t" keep the In'iian* you refer to, hut had
not the power. lam of opinion that the Indians,
when assured by yourself that there is no other
way to avuiil destruction, will decide to turn
over the prisoners. The promise made by them
that they will turn over those demanded should be
insisted *ui*nii to the last man. As long as these
Indians are in our hands the Agency at !.■■- linos is
secure. Ouray came out at his own request, and
brought his wife with him. I think it advisable to
have them all before you at Washington, or such
point as you may designate
HATCH, Cummjßsioner.
The Indians referred to in the dispatch
whom Ouray could not bring in with him are
Chitf Douglass, Johnnie, his sou, and four
others. These Indians were offered for sur
render, but General Hatch declined to accept
them unless the remaining guilty parties
were also surrendered at the same time.

SAN FRANCISCO ITEMS.
[From San Francisco exchanges of January Jth.]
The Police Department made 1,982 arrests
during December.
I'he treasure shipments from this port in
1879 amounted to $20,175,551, against §34,
--253,179 in 1878.
Last year there were 3,840 deaths in this
city ; by accident or negligence, 97 ; homi
cide, 29 ; suicide, 89 ; unknown, 35.
There was a very fair export trade in flour
at this port last month. China and Central
America took unusually large quantities.
There are at present in the County Jail
237 prisoners, 19 of whom are charged with
murder. Seven of the murderers are Chinese*.
Mayor Kalloch's son says that his father is
rapidly gaining strength in Los Angeles. He
is expected to return in about ten days.
The records of the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics show that during the week ending yes
terday 80 deaths occurred in this city, against
67 last week and 70 the week previous.
During the year 1870, 823 decrees of di
vorce were ordered by the District Courts of
San Francisco. Of this number 63 were in
favor of husbands ami 260 of wives.
For the half year ending December 31,
187'J, the exports of wheat from San Fran
cisco amounted to 7,041,055 ctls, valued at
313,380,865, against 6,549,296 ctls, valued at
§11,248,767 for the same time in 1878.
The coinage of the United States Mint at
San Francisco for the month of December
was : Double-eagles, §2,540,000 ; eagles,
£160,000 ; standard dollars, $1,000,000. To
tal, 83,700.000.
Coroner Dorr has prepared a statistical re
port of thecases reported at his office during
the year 1579. .From this it appears that 415
deaths were reported, the lareest number on
record, being l'J cases more thau in 1878, and
nn increase of 15 cases from the lart h'scal
year.
The new postal cards designed for foreign
correspondents have been received at the San
