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.

For agricultural colleges. 651,0002,420,072 3,oa,i38
Total 4,629,312 7,041,114 11,670,420
"I presume the lands taken for roads were only
those lor which details were made at the time; not
to grants made by law, to take place In future. 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.

California, Oregon, and Wash
ington 429,122 1,000,000
Aggregate 8,197,502 e,530,ooo
"If this estimate be correct, the population west
or toe Mississippi is now greater man mat or tne
whole of the United States in 1800, and Is increasing
at the rate of 70 per cent, per annum. 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

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

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

durinar the present week.
At the Auch Bryant's Minstrels will com
mence an engagement of two weeks this even

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

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.
The record covers a period of more than ten years, and
includes both. sexes ana all ages, from fifty to four-score
years and npwards.
