A. decision hu jut bu rendered by the Treasury Department which finally disposes of a loaff ptodlDg question of whether tbe rot emment ot the United States has any title to certain land in Fernandina, Florid a,wbich. was sold for direct taxes In 1863. In June of that year most of the land upon which the city of Fer nandina now 8taid wa aold for direct taxts, and a larse part of It was bid in by the tax commisaion-rs for the Unl ted Stat. 8ome qufstion arose as to the Talidtty of that ale tn account of the participation therein of only two of three tax commissioners, the third beinf absent and protesting against it. The question was submitted to the Treasury Department the same year. and Commissioner Liwts wrote an opinion adverse to the sale. Secretary Chase approved the opinion, aiid there upon the tax commissioners set tbe sale ,aaid, aad readverttsed tbe property'. A part of it was then resold, but about SjOOO lots still n-mained undisposed of. S-nne Iftlj itlons followed in tbe local Stl crtafiitli regard to titles usder these 'sales, and tbe claim of tbe'&MT trnment to the lots which had been bought In at tbe first sale again came before the department.- In reply the last commissioner of internal revenue rendered an opinion to the fleet that it would be in qultable on the part of tbe arovemment to insist upon its owner ship or tbe lots that had been bid In ror ft at the sale of 1863 Secretarv Folcer approved the commissioner's conclnsiou and on the Snd of May acting Commis sioner Rogers instructed the collector at Jacksonville to relinquish all claims so far as the United States is concerned to the lands bid tn at tbe sale of 1803. and to refund any moneys received by him as rents for the same. Tbe property In controversy comprises abous 2 XX) lot, valued at L5O0.U0O.

Dralaage of the Everglades The report of the oseraliona of tbe Okeecbobtfe Laid Cvmpany for tbe year l&Sx, recently Issued, shows that satisfactory results have followed the completion of the canal iuto the lake. The land along the e mal, which was formerly under- water. Is now dry, and the Isvef of! I ha lake water, has been greatly lowered, f Tee bealthf ulness of the region Is at tested by tbe fact that laborers engaged In tbe work have bad little or no sick- neaa. - The canal Is 22 feet wide and reei aeer. Along tne canal ana toe borders of Lke fohopekaliga the sur face water has ben removed sufficient ly to affjrd grazing for herds of cattle. ana other land needs but surface drain age to permit of sugar and rice cul ture. Powerful pumping machinery is to be brought into use, and when suffi ciently dried an experiment In rice cul ture will bo tradv in anuthw vX - acres. Tbe President, upon hia recent visit to Kissimmee City, was greatly Impressed with tbe outlook for tbe re claimed Evercladea. It is said that lands around Kissimmee City that were to be bad' a vear azo for a nominal price have advanced remarkably la value, owing to the confidence in the success of the drainage scheme.

MrJ Bliss con tinued bis argument In tbe star route eases to-day, and before ths noon recess he staiea.' in reply to a - Question zroni the court, that he would try to close his address today. Judge Wylie said if necessary be would prolong the day's session. Tbe counsel for the defence held a conference last night and deeid ed to propose to submit tbe case to the jury at the close of Mr. Bliss' speech, without further argument. If this proposition is accepted, as it probably will be. the case may go to the jury this evening, but there is not the least prob ability of a verdict to-night, indeed bets were freely offered about tbe city hall to day that the . jury would not agree upon a verdict at all,-aad there were bo takers.

In Which conventions and public meetings of - ail kind - can- - be held their friends cot only la the cityt but in various other portions of j . the country, came gallantly to their assist ance, ana maae mem valuable presents and contributions of every conceivable character and variety. An immense number of season tickets were also sold, at one dollar, each, and the. voting for the uumerous articles disposed of in that way realized about 8 15,000. , Tbe receipts of toe fair will ' not fall much short of $30000. To-night there will be a distribution of presents, on which occasion tbe Marine Band wili-f urnish music, and to-morrow the remaining goods on band will be auctioned off at tbe rink. - j Senor Romero, the Mexican minister here, has notified the State department that he will spend the coming summer In Europe for bis health. lie has ob tained tbe inecessary,, leave from the Mexican government, and has engaged passage on the "3ervia,M of the Cunard line, which will leave New York for Liverpool on the 9ih Inst.

Senator Bayard has returned to this city from hia Southern tour, well E leased with his trip and .improved in ealth. . : A statement has been prepared at the ceipts aggregated 8-406,8 H, while for tbe corresponding period of last year the receipts were $377,183, making an in crease in favor of the current year of nearly 69.000. it is an astonishing fact that Inventions continue to in crease annually in number, and it is the opinion of many intelligent inven tors that tbe field for fame and fortune in this way was never more inviting than at tbe present time. A gentleman who has made several very useful in ventions remarked to me a short time ago that when he first entered the field many persons told him that he was too late, but said be, since that time there have been, more, patents granted than bad previously issued since the founda tion of the government up to that time, and there Is no limit to tbeinveotlv power of man's mind.

Fire at the Cettea PI alfin m -Thlrt y- Bale Baraed. fv" ? i About noon yesterday the alarm of fire was raised at tbe cotton, platform of the Carolina: Central depot, and the entire fire department turned outj in double quick time, and had a 'stream playing within eight minutes after the first alarm was ! sounded. The fire was burning among the bales on the plat form close by the ' weigher's office and within scorching distance of the Caro lina Central depot. The platform! was crowded witht cotton, but a force of truckers soon cleared all away except what was on fire and which was left to the attention of the firemen. - Double streams from the plug on College street and one stream from the Hornet engine stationed at the Trade street railroad crossing, did quick work for the fire which was very shortly extinguished. In all, thirty-two bales were burned and knocked to pieces, , entailing a loss of about 81,200V 4 The burned cotton was the property of Mr. I W. Sanders and was Insured for 6 LC00 in companies represenUd by Mr. C N. G. Butt. The origin of the fire is not known. It was first discovered by a truckman of the Carolina' Central ' depot, and three or four bales wete then burning. The shifting engine of the Richmond & Danville road passed by on the third track from the platform , about twenty minutes before the fire was discovered, bat whether or not the cotton was fired by a spark frost the engine, no one can say. It is more probable that the fire was the result of some careless person, passing along with a pipe or cigar. Not a breath of wind was stirring at .the time of .the fire, else we might have had a repetition of the big cotton fire in the spring of 1875. Ten feet from the banilng bales, were 60 barrels j of kero sene i oil. A close; call 'it was, but the water works did well and the firemen pould pot havedone . better. The plat form w&s not burned at all. Um Had iwsv ZSalie la XX Is Ctesaau nTtttt!trarea'KwaatsfTjtojt ', ...... Tbf arPK..,l baua. let 1 1 .- r t i .. r i i l 1 I - 1 1 I T i 1 CITY 2XATTES9.
