TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PIUL ADEL PHI A, MONDAF, JUNE C, 1870. 5 THE rUD LIG DOMAIN. Tho "Veteran Observer," whose candid ob servations on men and things form an attractive feature of the New Tork Times, has written an elaborato article on the public lands and the future of the great West, from which we lake tho following extracts: 'Very few persons have a correct Idea of the real mngnltudo and value of the public domain, or of the necessity of grants of lands to railroads. From Ignorance, as well as depravity of mind, there has recently ieen preat opposition to railroad lmd frantfl, which If not made will leave the Union 'aeUle Railroad a monopolist of tho land route over the continent. The Union Pacific docs not go through the best lands of the (lovernment, Mor on the most favorable route. I think I can give a brief digest of the facts regarding the public lands, which Is of much Interest. I shall not Include Alaska, for 1 proume It will be long before any one will Wiint to buy land there. That Territory, however. In cludes nearly four hundred millions of acres. Nor shall I Include the lands east of the Mississippi, where the Government still holds slxtv millions of acres. Hut from the Mississippi to the Pacific, where railroads must be made, the Government holds lands as follows: Arret. 1. lown, Missouri, and Arkansas, in which no grants will bo made I6,non,of0 2. Dakota and Wyoming H5,2!i5,'2s4 3. Montana so,sm),iis 4. Kansas 4:i,14H,87H 6. Nebraska. 4-i,-2:t,fil fi. Colorado and Idaho llT.HOU.tMN) 7. New Mexico nnd I tail m,140,ixi0 h. Nevada aud Arizona. Mii.ODO.uuO fl. Minnesota. 3ti,77rt,170 10. California, Oregon, and Washington... 2ii,roo,non 11. Indiana 4t,l.'U1ooo Aggregate west of the Mississippi 9'.)3,T42,&G-2 "There are In round numbers one thousand mil lions of acres of public domain between the Missis, nippl and the PaclUc. If the Government grant to the Northern tmd Pacllic Railroads (and to the former lis grant is made equitably, and it would bo a want of good faith to refuse it', for three thousand miles, at twenty sections, 12,8im acres per mile, the whole amount would be 88,4110,00.1, a fraction over a thirtieth pert. Double this, and the Government will be Immensely the gainer, and It is the only mode by which these laads can ever be settled. "A very largo portion of these lands, especially thoto on the route of the Northern Pacific, are ricti and arable. In Minnesota and Dakota there are nearly two hundred millions of acres of public hinds, two-thirds of which lie on the direct line from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains in Montana, Here Is generally a high plain, fertile in soil, admirably watered, and producing the best of grapes and stnull grain. In Montana, also, there are many valuable lands. Now, it will be observed that the whole vast domain 1 have described Is unsold and unappro priated. "It happens unfortunately that our Government printing is always so far behind that it is impossible to get the otllclal reports till two years after they are made; but I will take 18G0 and 18!7 as examples. The Commissioner of the Land Otllce makes the fol lowing report of lands disposed of : In IMS. " lSti7. Tiro yen. A ere. Arre. Are.

The above table presents some curious facts. First, we Bee the actual settlement of the land is rapidly in creasing, for the amount disposed of in 1S07 was lifty per cent greater than In 1808. Next, we ob serve tnat tne largest quantity is taken under tne Homestead act. Is there not a good deal of specu lation under that? Hut, strange to say, the next largest quantity Is under the Agricultural College scrip. The public lands have been the great outlet lor the overflowing population of the country and the ambitious politicians. They have operated as a national sewerage. What will happen when the sewerage Is gone? But, In the meantime, the public lands have been the inducement to the vast, flowing. Impulsive, aggregating people, from every clime and nation, who have gone and are going west of the Mississippi. I present below some of the probable results of the census of 1S70, compared with that of isco: In 1860. In 1870.

It is also plain that the northern rim la increasing at the greatest ratio, in tne vast, country wnica ues oe tween the forty-second and forty-ninth degrees. there la a country very productive of grass and small grains, although corn will never be very abundant there. The centre of the corn region will always be in the Ohio vallev. "In the brief tables above, the reader will get a comprehensive view of the magnitude of our pub lic domain, and of the true mode of improving it. If we suppose tne grants maue to an ine racinc ana other railroads to be 120,600.000 acres, there will ra in aln 878,000,000 nnsold and unappropriated. In 1867 we consumed seven millions, and at that rate it win take 125 years to use un all : or taking out uncultiva- ble lands, one hundred years. In the meanwhile we shall annex half of what remains in America, especially the wild lands, so that we need not be aiarmea ior want oi tana, no pent-np utica eon fines us no narrow river limits our ambition till the vast continent la embraced by the Anglo-American."

At tdk Academy of Music the Etchings English Opera Troupe will commence a brief eeason ot six nights ana one matinee mis even' ing with the comic opera of The Postillion of Lomumeau. inis work was very popular some years ago, but it has seldom been represented of late, and to most persons it will be an entire novelty. It contains some very pleasant music, and its performance this eveniHg ought to attract a large audience. To-morrow Mr. 8. Behrens, the able and popular leader of the orchestra, will have his annual benefit, when Meyerbeer's great opera of Tlte Huguenots will be given for the first time in this city in n,ngmn. i tie cast will in elude the full strength of tho company, and the rcbestra ana chorus win be largely increased. Mr. Behreus has many friends in Philadelphia, and such an attraction as he otters should in sure him a full house. On Wednesday Mr. A. S. Pennoyer, the busi ness manager, will present Tlte Hohemian Girl for bis beneht. This occasion win be made in teresting by the first appearance in this city of Miss Emma Ilowson, who will personate "Arline." On Thursday evening Mr. Henry Drayton will have a benefit, and on Friday Wallace's opera of Lurline will be performed for the benefit of Mrs. Bernard. This lady is entitled to the credit of having established English opera in this country on a permanent basis, and at the close of the eeason she should receive from the opera-goers of this city a hearty recognition of her services. The box-sheet is now open at lioner s, iso. xuw inesnut street, aud at the Academy. At th Walnut Mr. Jefferson attracted crowded and fashionable audiences all last week by his personation of "Kip Van Winkle." and as the play-going public not yet had enouch of "Rip,' Mr. Jefferson will endeavor to accom modate by appearing In the part every evening durinar the present week. At the Auch Bryant's Minstrels will com mence an engagement of two weeks this even ing. This troupe Is one of the best, if not the Lest, in the country, and those who witnessed their performances last season will certainly have a desire to see them again. At thb Chesnut a variety performance -will be given this evening. This is the last week of the present combination. An interesting collection of anatomical curi osities are on exhibition at Mo. 1305 (Jhesnut street. The New Tork Dramatic Fund will have a benefit some time during the present month at tb Academy of Music in that city, when uani' 1ft will be performed with the greatest cast on record.

Thk Solace of Age. Plahtation Bitters is an agreeable compound of St. Croix Rum the moat nutri- mental of all distilled liquors and a variety of tonio, alterative and anti-bilioua vegetable productions, among which is the most invaluable of invigorators, Oaliaaya bark. The spirituous basis is manufactured by the agents of the proprietors, from the sugar-cane, on their own leasehold plantations in the West Indies; and the Oali- saya bark is gathered and prepared for exportation from South America by the employes of the firm. Both, there fore, can be guaranteed to be unadulterated, and of the finest quality. For these reasons Plantation Bitters is recommended as an unequaled invigorating cardial for aged persons. But it has a stronger recommendation than that of the proprietors, viz. -. the testimony of thousands in the de cline of life who have tested its revivifying properties.
