THE LAND RIII..

We congratulate the country (says
the lntelligencer) on the final passage
through the Senate Of this great, truly
great, and bcncfcent measure.
Thrice has it received the deliberate
sanction Of that body. 1t is called for
by many States Of the Union, with
the great keystone 10 their centre
We sincerely hope that it may con-
centrate the support Of majority OF
the Representatives OF the People
IL IS a great State-right measure; we
say emphatically State-right for il
gives TO each State what is its own,
by the express terms Of the leading
and munificent grant so magnanimous-
ly made by the State Of Virginia. We
trust that, should this bill again pass
the House of Representatives, il may
receive the sanction Of the President.
Considering the opinion expressed by
him IN the face Of the Union and OF
the world, in his memorable message
Of 1879, the sentiments Of which were
repeated in a subsequent me sage: con-
sidering the altered condition of the
country since he applied the veto to a
former similar bill; and considering
the vast surplus and the danger to
which II is exposed in the deposite
banks, we anxiously hope that, on re-
viewing all his opinions, and adverting
to the known wishes and sentiments
Of the People, the President will not
withhold his appreciation from a mea-
sure second in importance, we truly
and conscieniiously believe, to no other
ever presented TO the consideration, or
passed by the votes Of the members OF
the National Legislature.
Should this measure go into practi-
cal operation, there will be distributed
under il, year, exclusive Of the re-
ceipts from sales Of the public lands
during the next year, about twenty
two millions, arising from that source
prior TO the lst January 1886; and, in
addition, whatever sum shall be re-
ceiyed during the current year. The
first quarter, IL has been ascertalned,
has yielded SIX millions: and, IL the
three following quarters shall each
yield an equal sum. the amount which
will be distributed from this single
year will be twenty -four millions, max
ing an aggregate sum exclusive Of
the receipts Of the next year. which
will be distributed from the Ut Of July
next TO the Jet Of April, 1897, Of forty
ak millions of dollars.
We might enlarge on the greater
safety Of this vast fund in the hands
Of the States than in the possession Of
the deposiie banks. We might dila,s
on the objects Of internal improve
meni, Of education, and Of other
great domestic interests, which may
be promoted and accomplished BY this
large sum. But We shall leave the
contemplation of these to the imagina-
lions Of our readers.

The lively and talented Editor Of the staup-
ton Spectator (~ho, by the way, has lately been
elected member Of the Legislature) thu,
beautifully discourses upon the season, in hi,
last number
Spring. like a renovating spirit, has
come over the earth, to beautify the
face OF nature. The fields are clothed
IN green-the orchards with bloom
the forests with leaves-and the balmy
air IS filled with the perfume Of flowers
and blossoms. The very flocks and
herds, as If flushed by the spirit OF the
season. show signs of joy-and the
birds carroll their merry songs beneath
the green boughs, or flap their wings
IN ecstacy, nested amid the rich bloom
Of the trees. A ride into the country,
at this season, is most refreshing TO the
spirits ola townsman. There is a charm
in rural scenery which is felt by every
heart, however dull, and fills il with
delight.
We never go out into the country
indeed, that We do not feel as il our
whole life, amidst the dust and hustle
OF the town, were of unnatural con-
straint. Its very atmosphere breathes
OF freedom, peace and joy. Then, too,
we think OF Cowper's expression, and
realize its force-"God made the coun-
try, and man made the town." We
philosophise about it-think ofthc folly
of wasting our existence in tolls fol-
which We have so little relish, and de-
tcrmine 10 60 TO the country right of.
But anon we fall in with rustic friend
who gives the shady side of the pic
ture-who talks Of the troubles and
vcxations incident to managing q farm
and we find there is something more
to be done than sentimentalize, or lis
ten to the singing Of the birds, and en-
JOY the smiling landscape: In short,
that there is hard work, and plenty oil
II. Again we are thrown all aback
and wisely conclude that perhaps il i.
better TO bear the ills we have. than
Ny to others that We know not Of
To be serious, however, the appearance
Of the country at this season is delight.
ful-and we advise all our town friends
TO go forth and enjoy it.
