We notice from Iowa papers that
[uirie* are made as to the wherea-
jts of one G. M. Dodge, who once1
represented tbe Council Bluffs dis-
trict in Congress. Some informa-
tion would like to be had out of the
gentleman In relation to Indian
rings, jobs, and such little matters
about which it is said Dodge knows
more than he has ever told.
We inform the Iowa journals that
Dodge may be found in Texas,
Chief Engineer of the Texas Pacific
railroad, and we think that he will
be able hereafter to give information
in relation to some of our roads,
their subsidies, and how they build
Southern roads by the same plan
they do Northern roads. Whether
he knows anything about any jobs
in itffifcction with them, we are
not prepared to say, but we’ll bet
an elephant that he could a tale un-
fold about Credit Mobilier and In-
dian rings. Although he never
amounted to much as a Congress-
man, he was an apt scholar in the
political ‘‘ways - that are dark and
tricks that are vain,” while in the
Congressional ring. To sum it up,
he was a Had of the deepest die.

«H£ ALTERNATE SECTIONS or RAIL-
ROAD LANDS.
Senator Trolinger has sent us a
Copy of the act providing “for the
sale of the alternate sections of land
as surveyed bv railroad companies
and set apart for the benefit of the
common school fund.”
Senator Trolinger, in a private
note, dated April 21, says the bill,
(with the amendmen.s attached)
Iras passed both Houses and will no
doubt receive the Governor’s signa-
ture. He also expresses the hope
that the Asylum and County School
Land bills will also pa s, as they
are based on the same principles as
the University bill and the one sent
us.
The provisions of the bill provi-
ding for the sale of the alternate
sections, are, in substance, the fol-
lowing :
That all persons who have set-
tled on such alterna'e sections prior
■to the passage of this act, may per-
chase not more than 160 acres (“un-
less his improvement is on a frac-
tional section less than 320 acres,”
and in that case lie shall take the en-
tire fractional section,) by making an
application to the surveyor in wri-
ting. The surveyor shall then sur-
vey the tract applied for and send a
copy of his field notts. with the ap-
plication, to the Commissioner of
the general land office, his fees for
making the survey to be paid bv
the applicant.
The Governor is to appoint three
Commissioners for each county, to
value the lands, said Com nissioners
to be qualified electors and free-
holders, and nowise interested in
the lands. Their valuation is not to
include any improvements that may
have been made. Their sworn es-
ti mate is to be tiled with the sur-
veyor. Upon the payment of one-
tenth of the assessed value of the
land, by the applicant, and giving
his obligation in writing to pay the
State ten per cent, interest annually,
on the balance due, with one-tenth
of the principal, the State Treasurer
is to give him a receipt for the
amount paid, which is a certificate
of purchase.
Application by an actual settler
on such lands must be made within
six months, or the same will be sub-
ject to sale as other alternate sec-
tions.
Sections not occupied can be pur-
chased on the same terms as the
above, providing the parties wishing
to purchase will obligate themselves
to settle upon and improve such
lands within twelve months from
date of the application.
Any portion of such lands not
sold to actual settlers, may he pur-
chased by any person, by his con-
foi tiling with the provisions of the
act and conditions of sale and price,
hut none of these lands are to be
sold for less than $1.50 per acre,
and upon full payment 011 any pur-
chase the Commissioner of the gen-
eral land office is required to issue a
patent to the purchaser for the same.
These lands are subject to taxa-
tion from date of purchase.
The proceeds of the sale of this
land is to he invested in U. S. bonds,
and the interest arriving therefrom,
is to be applied to the use of the
common schools.
