During the Intervention, the French troops lilled up the ditch which surrounded the western and southern borders of these grounds, and threw a ditch further out (hey also cut up the walls with embrasures for cannon. These changes exposed the grounds to the aggressions of nightly marauders. Upon a representation of this condition of things to the Mexican (Jovernment, it at once re-open-ed the ditch, threw the dirt beyond, and restored the boundaries to their former condition, and under the supervision of the Consul, Dr. Skilton, thu walls have been repaired and raised to a useful bight, the old gates, doors and windows have been replaced by new ones large, quantities of dirt have been introduced upon the ground, the walks and beds having been and are being raised new shrubbery added and the whole general appearance has been impr ved. The old pedestal which was erected over the remains of the American soldiers who perished in this valley in '47, which was broken and defaced, is to be replaced by another, the tablets for which have arrived.

Of r-ourst- we arc "bound to h:ivo glass works." And wo arc bound to have everything else which a live, go-ahead, young city ought to have. We are hound to have blast furnaces dot led all over this prairie manufacturing establishments of all kinds, in every direction one or two more railroads running into the city, and bringing with them more business more iron factories, machine shops, and perhaps, possibly, may be, a half dozen or so more newspapers. The opening for the latter Js good —very good. Our people are a reading people, and it does seem almost impossible, with the few number of papers here now, to supply the demand.

Rut when our .Minister, Mr. Nelson, represented the facts to the State Department, ("Jeneral I5elkna{), the Secretary of War, found, without, waiting for a Congressioi.nlappropriation, that the circumstiiiices of that Department, would permit the amount asked for by Minister Nelson, to he advanced out of the contingent fund.

Our State Debt
In April last the Board of State Debt I
Sinking Fund (\mniissioners gave notice
1
as required by law, that tin five per cent, certificates of State Stock would be paid in full, at the office of the Agent of Slate in New York City, on the first day of July. The notice was published in three daily papers in New York, and in the Journal i\m\ Sentinel here, and agents of foreign stockholders were otherwise advised of the ability of the State to pay oti'the indebtedness.
In pursuance of an order of the Board, a meeting was held in New York at the office of the Agent of State, on the 1st of July, to take such action as should be deemed necessary in extinguishing the debt and closing the State agency, and the Hoard was prepared to take up all the outstanding certificates on presentation. .Holders of stock, however, did not manifest a desire to surrender their certificates for payment, as there were but Slot), 100 of the SI,000 then outstanding, offered at the agency.,
In view of this fact, and for the purpose of inducing stockholders to surrender, the Board has given notice, as will be seen by an advertisement elsewhere in this paper, that interest on the five per cent, certificates of stock will cease on the first day of September next, and that the stock should be presented for payment at the office of the Agent of State, l!7 ine street, New York City, on or before that date.
Tt is hoped that this notice will enable the Board to take up the certificates, and report the extinguishment of the State debt and closing of the Agency, to the next General Assembly.—Ind. Journal.

to be
made. Mr. Trumbull thought it most extraordinary to provide for the establishment of banks for taking up the additional $54,000,000 within the next three months, and then to require a re-distribution a few months later.

Mr. Julian, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill repealing the act of June 12,1866, which confirmed the grant of certain lauds to James E. Dominques in California. He made a brief statement of the facts in the case, showing that the claim was across fraud. The bill passed without opposition.
Mr. Julian also reported a bill defining swamp and overflowed lands. Mr. Sargent offered an amendment providing that the bill should not be construed as repealing any provision of -SI"?* -A
the act of July, 1868, to quit land titles in California, or as abrogating any of the rights confirmed thereby.
Mr. Julian explained the necessity of the bill, and informed the House that the practice under the swamp land act has been to have lands surveyed after freshets, and in this way millions of acres had fell into the clutches of State authorities and dealt out to speculators in great bodies without any adherence to any rule or definition that would protect the rights of the United States. Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana had thus got 20,000,000 acres, mostly dry land. California was in the same predicament. There were yet several million acres remaining not confirmed as swamp titles, the titles to which still remained in the United States, and it was the object of this bill to save this land. He characterized the way in which the swamp land act has been carried out as a huge frightful conspiracy against civilization and the rights of the people.

Mr. Calkin also declared himself opposed to the payment of these claims until the indemnity is given by the British Government for the damages done by the Alabama.
Mr. Dawes stated that the rule which governed the committee in these cases was that the American Government shuld do right itself, and thus be stronger in its demand in other Governments to do right. He should be sorry to follow the example of the British Government.
Mr. Maynard asked Mr. Dawes whether he did 'not surely think it proper to let those claims be deferred, and come in as a credit to to the large claim of the United States against the British Government.
Mr. Dawes replied that he did not think well of sucn a proposition but he thought that in the face of the negotiations put by the United States Government, on the high grounds of Justice, it would be suicide and the height of folly for the United States Government to say: "We will do the same to you that you did to us." He would be ashamed, were he to be negotiator, to be backed up by retaliation of that kind. It would be unworthy of a great nat-'on to force a claim upon another Government by any such small method of retaliation. He also stated that the aggregate amount appropriated by these bills was §685,882, with interest.
Mr. Schenck offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a "statement as to the public deb* since the organization of the Government. Adopted.

DRILL!
(Tviilm, tho celebrated Drill Inventor's last and best.)
A Force Feed Drill, Operated by Spur Gearing.
JYO LOOSE COG WHEELS ABOUT IT!
Impossible to Choke it—The Feed Changed in One Second—Will Sow Any Kind of Grain or Seed, Whether Clean or Foul!
The grain is distributed by means of small double spiral feed wheels working in cups under the hopper these wheels carry the grain upwards to a discharge opening in the cup and force it out, and with it force out straws and other obstructions. It is utterly impossible to choke it, and as evidence of this fact the wheat we have in our sample machine is half chaff, and by turning the wheel it is carried tnrough as well as clean wheat.
It will sow .any kind of grain, and in any quantity desired. In other force feed drills to change the feed you remove one cog wheel and put in another and the cog wheels are loose and liable to lie lost. In the
FARMERS'FRIEND DRILL
the wheels are all fastened to the drill, and the feed is changed by by simply moi-ing a small lever —it is done in one second.
