The movement in Congress to re cover to the United States the for feited land grants made to various railroads is one of vast importance. According to information in the hands of the committee of Congress, the grants made to the various cor porations, the amounts of the grants earned by them through the fulfill ment of the conditions of the grants, and the amounts forfeitable for non fulfillment of the conditions, are as follows: Txas Pacific Grant, 14,309,760 acres ; miles of road built, no;ue Uand earned, nene; forfeitable, aty- . , Oregon Central Grant, ,?Q7m acres ; miles of r,oad built,. 519?i Jand earned; 2,000,000 "acres; forfeitable, 1,701,700 acres. , : ( (ntonogan and State Line Grant, 232,000 acres; miles of road construct ed, none; land earned, none; forfeita ble, all. California and Oregon and Oregon and California Grant, 2,126,526 acres; miles of road constructed, 197; land earned, 1,454,600 acres; forfeita ble, 661.926 acres. Northern Pacific Grant, 48,215,040 acres; miles of road constructed at twenty sections per mile, 228; at forty sectious per mile, 197 miles; land earned, 10,675,200 acres; forfeitable, 37,539,840 acres. Atlantic and Pacific Grant, 40,- 690, 560 acres ; miles of road construct ed at twenty sections per mile, 89 ; at forty sections, 36 miles; lands earned, 2,660,800; forfeitable, 38,029,760 acres. Southern Pacific of California Grant. 5,511.264 acres; mileaof road constructed, 232; land earned, 2,440,- 450 acres; forfeitable, 20,618,140: New Orleans Pacific Grant re ported at 903,218 acres, but found to contain about 1;500,000 acres; 'miles of road constructed, none; land earn ed none; forfeitable, all f .

Sioux City and St. Paul Grant, 487,240 acres; miles of road construct ed, 56; lands earned, 316,700 acres; forfeitable, 170,540 acres. It will be seen that the totals foot up 121,000,000 acres, of which 21,000, 000 only were earned and 100,000,000 are forfeitable. In addition to this it is claimed that the roads owed the government on June 30, 1883, $102,373,312, for which the government j has no -obligation save a general lien created by the terms of their charters. Mr.ThUrman in the Senate called attention to this matter, and if r.(' Edmunds is now trying to get it into some shape by tatihgthe obEgatipn of the roads in bonds payable atlftated periodslJn to&ier woTds, he proposes to accept bonds and give the roads an extension of time. 'TIS EVEN SO. Ashboro Courier: Two yeors ago some of the newspapers of this State were exceedingly: apprehensive lest the Charlotte Observer should fail to swallow the State Democratic platforrj.rAnd some of them even attempted in a mild way to -read it out of the party. For the past tew weeks some of the same papers are making a mild attempt in the same direction because the Observer did swallow and now sees fit to stand by and fight by the platform aforesaid. Verily the Observer has struck Jor dan's road, but it ii traveling it with an independence and enterprise 1 I. t yv the Tariff, the internal Revenue and which at the time seemed ample by the most sanguine for all time to come, yet such has ucau 10 auuuu aa xutci cu. uuc? vuuiioi could wish. r We clip the above for the purpose f remarking that the Observer gen- erally ' tries to yve&r a level and a cool head, and goes on in the even tenor of its way in what it believes to be right, irrespective of whether oth ers agree with t of not. In doing so we sometimes invite adverse criti cism, occasionally bordering on the proscriptive order, but this rather amuses than disconcerts us.

A THREATENED 8PLIT IN ALA- r' . BAM A, rbjtarlestok Nam and Courier. ": There promises to be a complicated canvass in Alabama. The "Alabama ' Industrial League" is organizing in opposition to the Revenue Reformers, and in the paper which it is circu lating for signatures is the following j declaration: "We believe it to be j "the first duty of every true Ala- "bamian to lend his influence to the '.'perpetuation of a policy, (Protec "tion,) which bears within it the "germs of an enduring! prosperity." The Birmington Age endorses this fully, and says that it is of vital im portance to elect Congressmen who are in favor of a protective system.

There is no disposition on the part of the Revenue Reformers in Alabama to submit to the bullying of the In dustrial League. They cannot afford to sacrifice their interests and give the lie to their principles, because a small erouD of subsidized manufac turers want the high tariff to con tinue While deprecating any divis ions among the whites, the Revenue Ketormers wm stand nrmly to tneir colors.
