,Important Decision
Subjoined'is the decision of tho noting Commis
sioner of the General Land Office, in relation to tho
refusal of a surveyor general to approve tho sur..
voy of a donation claim:
' GunanaL LAND OFFICE, Oat, 15, 1857.
Sir: In your letter of the 22d of July last, now
before me, yoti state that the surveyor general
has refuded to nprirdve' the survey of a donation
claim, made according to the abstract furnished,
on the ground that " it was not in a compact form,
as it crossed a meandered stream ," and :you, ask
the attention'or , this office to the condition of a
number of claims which have been permitted by
former surveyors general, lying on both sides of
rapid streams, thp disturbance of which wopld work
great injury to eittimantsi; de.
This office has decided against the right of a
claimant to cross a "navigable stream" ,in order
to get thelquantity of land to which ho may bo en
titled in virtue of his settlement, dm, but what
you describe as a rapid mountain stream, scarcely/
navigable with a canoe, cannot bo considered as
coming under that, head; and-the location of a
claim On both sides of a stream of this character
should not be considered cause for rejection,
where the improvements lie on both sins, and
the claim is in a compact form, even though it
may have been feund convenient or necessary in
the prosecution of the public surveys to meander
suoh stream ; nor should one passage of such a
stream-through a claim render it liable to objec
tion on the score of compactness of form.
The sixth motion of the donation act of 1850 is
liberal in its previsions withlregard to the location
of claims. Whilst it provides that: claims " shall
be in a ecaripict form, and, where it is practicable
so to do, the land so claimed shall be taken as
nearly as practicable by legal subdivisions," it
also, "where that cannot be clone," makes it the
duty of the surveyor general " to survey and
mark each claim with the boundaries as claimed."
As on do not present a particular case in wh fell
this difficulty exists, these general views aro mere
ly thrown out for your consideration, and are not
laid down as a rale for your government in any
particular class or oases ,• that will be done whoa
an aettial Madill presented for decision.
It Is desired that the most liberal course con•
sistent with law be pursued towards the 'settlers,
tispecially of that class to whloh you refer, who
settled early , in good faith, and have completed
their four-years term of settlement and occupa
tion, and that every facility be afforded them for
the settlement of their claims and quieting their
tltleb. •
In'reply to the'olosing paragraph of your letter,
in whitob you inquire " whether it' is the duty of
this (your) office or the surveyor general to deride
in what shape olalms have been taken," I have to
statib that it belongs to the register and receiver,
under the sixth section of the amendatory set of
17th July, 1864, to make mob decisions, and to the
surveyor general to see that the surveys are pro
perly executed in accordance therewith.
• Very respeetfully, your obedient servant,
josnPu 8. Wrxsou,.Aoting Commissioner.

Yesterday" afternoon, Mr. &web Gable, tin

spirits, and seemed determined to enjoy himself in
seeing the daighta." He was seen passing around,
examining the different articles, throughout the
former part of the afternoon. After he had passed
through the grounds, be seated himself upon the
ground, and, it is supposed, was immediately seized
with the cramp, and soon after was found dead by
an acquaintance of his. This unexpected event,
unexpected as it was, created great commotion on
the Fair grounds, and, in a short time, the whole
place was perfectly crowded with persons anxious
to see him.

Interesting from Mexico

claim of Mexicans for loam pretended to have been

the Guadalupe-Hidalgo treaty whilst It was in
force and up to the date upon which it was abro
gated. Those claims amount to over one hundred
millions of dollars; but the amount will be kept
a secret. The principal bash; of this treaty will be
the right of way across the isthmus of Tehuante
pec for a certain auto of money, the United States
paying the claims of °limns of Mexico, and Mex
ico those of the United States. The latter amount
to about $4,000,000, and the former to about $lOO,-
000,000. Bo the point for the United States to

or about that amount.

Besides, those is no sympathy here for the United

to bo fleeced.
With regard to this Mexican Government, It is a
pretty good ono. I consider the country now
nearly in the state it was in when Arista was over
in 1853, with the exception Of the debt of
the late revolution, which is about $4,000 ; 000.
Many benefieont measures have been taken, and
they can never be undone ; the principal of which,

baptize, and bury the poor gratis.
At the last session of Congress, that body
appropriated some twenty-fivo thousand dollars for
the purpose of leaking explorations and verifying
surveys which have already been made, of a ship
canal near the Isthmus of Darien, to oonnoot the
waters of the Pacific and Atlantic , oceans by
the Atrato and Turantla rivers. The Secretaries
of War and Navy were authorized by the same
act to employ, under the direction of the President,
such alms of the army and navy as might bo ne

of Commerce is gratified to learn that this impor

be added, and the party to expected to sail in a

tailed for the duty in consequence of her light
draft of water. It is to be regretted that the rivers
of the Isthmus are so shallow as to preclude the
use of our small steamers; for they would be far
more serviceable in the prosecution of this work
than the snug little fore-and-after that has been

• Local , Superstition,—Within the past few
days wo have come in contact with individuals
whose conversation induces the belief that we have
a vast quantity of superstition in our very midst.
The moon must be in a certain quarter, or the
agrieulturist believes that thcro is no use planting,

sheep is equivalent to losing the slip of wool, while
the matron who is about depriving her chubby
infant of its natural lacteal supply In favor of that
yielded by . the dairy, first consults the almanac
with religious devotion, to see that "the pale
Diana" proves propitious. There are also among us
hundreds of people who believe that the moon-beams
streaming in upon a sleeping person will produce
lunacy, just as theyimplicitly credit the rove/Minns
of the numerous imposters scattered about the
city, who earn a handsome living by " telling for
tunes." Besides those lunolators we find believers
in dreams, in charms, and incaistations and in ab
surdities as great as hose promulgated Dr. Deo,
or Between Abases. There will be a great deal
to accomplish in this world before we aro lit to

valuable " institution," is not without its draw
backs. One of its greatest conveniences is the re
storation of lost children to their parents. The
facility thus given, however, is sorely abused. So
well understood is it now that stray urchins must
ultimately be found, that people commit their
children to the tender mercies of the aide walk
without the smallest hesitation, Before we bad the
police telegraph there were few ohildren lest, for
the very good reason that, If lost, their recovery
occasioned some trouble. As noon as the virtue of
the telegraph became popularly known, the num
ber of estrays gradually increased. It now amounts
to an average of twenty per day all the year round.
As the accommodations at the Central Station are
extremely lithited, the pregame of half a dozen
children is anything but convenient. Not unfro
quontly the eamo child will be brought to the
hdation three or four times in the same week. The
expense of feeding the unclaimed children, how
ever, Is a pretty serious item end, comes entirely
out of the private funds of the operators. Not un
frequently, little ones remain for two dap before
they aro sought out, during ail which time they
must sleep upon °hairs, or on the floor of the con
tracted operating room, and depend upon the bene
volence of the operators for whatever food they re
ceive.

The Homicide Case in Barley Slreel.—Wo
gave In Saturday's PlllOB an account of the mur
der of a colored boy, named Edward Dempsey, who
was shot by a companion, named William Spriggs,
in a small house In a court running from Barloj ,
street, below Tenth, in the Seventh ward, about
eleven o'clock on Friday night. The immediate
neighborhood of the house which was the scene of
this shocking homiolde presented a Tory excited
appearance during the whole of Saturday and yes
terday. The facts of the case, ae olioited from the
investigation made by Coroner Dolavau, aro sub
stantlally as follows :
The house in which this tragedy was enacted
is occupied by a respectable colored family named
Harris. Edward Dempsey was visiting James
L. Harris, a youth about his own age. Two other
colored boys, named William Spriggs and William
Jones, aged respectively seventeen and nineteen
years, canto into the house. Jones soon after took
a small single-barreled pistol from his pocket and
handed it to his companion. The sister of Harris
cautioned Spriggs to be careful, but ho continued
to bundle the pistol as though careless of what
would be the result. Finally, while the mutate
was pointed towards Dempsey, the trigger was
pulled, either by design or accident, and the slug,
with which it was loaded, entered the forehead of
Dempsey, blowing his brains out, and, of course,
causing his instant death.
Jones and Spriggs immediately fled to their
homes, not far distant. They were pursued thither
by Officer Munn of the Eighth ward, and arrested.
Jones had meantime. thrown the pistol into the
cuss-pool, back of . his house, where it was after
wards recovered. Jones admitted that he knew
the pistol was loaded; it had been loaded, he said,
since the Fourth of July. The two prisoners were
taken to the Eighth ward station-house, and on
!Saturday morning they had a hearing before Al
derman Erma. Officer Munn and W'm. Jones wore
examined, and testified to the facts given above
The boys wore committed to await a further near
ing. The body of Dempsey ITU taken to the real
denoo of his mother, in Rodman street, near Elev
enth. All the parties belong to the better class of
the colored population, and the affair has caused
much exelternent among the people of their own
color.
The mother and sister of Dempsey state that the
doomed has declared, on several occasions lately,
that Spriggs had threatened to kilt him, and that
he was fearful that the threat would he put in exe
cution. Dempsey was a barber, and worked for
his half-brother,Robert White, in Seventh tared,
above Walnut. He bore the name of being a very
harmless, ineffetraireyouth. Spriggs ix about seven
teen years of ago. Ile has returned, within a few
weeks, from a cruise en the United States sloop-of
war Prate. His father, who BOOM like a very
respectable colored man, is in the employ of Oliver
Fuller, Esq., No. 269 south Fifth street. Mr. Ful
ler states that young Spriggs has hitherto borne un
excellent character, and, from his knowledge of the
boy, he la aatlalled the abooting was purely the
result of accident. _

Of litigation, and the now binding character of tie
ndicial expreasion of opinion on a qUest ion n
before the court and the propriety of which ii ex
ceedingly questionable, hare created an uneuy
and anxious feeling; and the public are bEginuing
to fear that the suspension, so far from creating
ease for them, or leading to an expansion of
counts, will only serve the hub,- which are acting
without any accord or harmony, and each trying
BO far as it care-to strengthen itself, no matter ut
what damage to its neighbors and the public.
Money is as hard to get as ever. Fit-sprite houses
&richt' tumbling, or only save themselves for the
moment by extensions of doubtful utility; and I
shell herapeeablydisappointed if the next bank
ftetolitlents show any ridaxatimi of the severe &IA
ruinous contraction policy. Everyone ought to read
. I.lbri. Nathan Appleton's able letter on the conduct
of the Iles York city banke. If they had stopped •
their contraction when, specie was down below the
- price at which it could be exported without lose, we
elnatild have been-served; but, Instead of that, their
r =lnoue end stupid panic has brought disasters from
which we shall not tenser so quickly, And even

When I see it I shaft But I have no
faith in their promises or in their pradenee, be
cause I believe the majority of the men who pre
side over the banks of this city are absolutely and
entirely incapable Of discharging their duties,
which need talent of the highest order, Aptuacial
knowledge of an. exh a led character, courage,
trititiets, mid decision. In all these animalsl at
tribites, the NeerYork Bank directors hare proved
themselvea lamentably deficient- And now that
we have impended—that morally and in reality
we have failed to fulfil our obligations; and eland
insolvent in the true and honest sense of the word,
whet temporary advantaeps, are we to derive from
this permanent Injury to our malt.
win the banks lend us their bills now that they
are no longer in danger to be called on to redeem
them in specie? Shalt we be able to pay our debts
or move to the seaboard the immense wealth of
the Country, now lying idle in the store-houses of
the West and South f Can we escape paying to
Moses or Aaron, or any other Hebrew or Christian
note-shave'r, 'stx and ...n, - and ten per cent- a
month for money to saventir tame from dishonor
and oar families from ruin? Bo _far, the only an
swer to these questions is a most emphatic we. We
have no choice, no remedy; we must bear whatever
the Bohan of the banks choose to Wiled on us, and,
like little children, be pleased with the promise of
sweetmeats to-morrow, and go to bed like good
little boys. What.' write I know to be the senti

Ncw Icier, Oct. IT, 1557
Since our circular of the Ist Instant, oar market has
continued much depressed, and the uncertainty regard
ing credits has almost caused an entire suspension of
sales, with the exception of a few parcels for export
and for refining It is very difilcalt to fix quotations,
inasmuch as there has been no regularity in prices; at
the present moment we incline to the belief that our
market hes 'eels its lowest point and that prices must
gradually Improve.
Our stock is becoming considerably redoced by ex
ports to European markets of both Sugar and idelsdo,
eo that at the end of the present month we anticipate
giving more favorable advises.
