THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Among the resolutions concerning the Public
Lands, which passed the House Of Commons Of the
State of North Carolina a few days ago, is one
which condemns, in the most decided manner, the
bill now before Congress, proposing TO graduate the
price OF the Public Lands, as an attempt in disguise
10 cede them to the States in which they lie at mere
nominal price This strong expression OF opinion
was sustained by equally strong, that IS 10 say
by serenity yeas TO twenty-lhree nays
The bill which has been before the Senate ana
which the Globe nimates will pass that BODY y IN
spite of lamentations proposes TO reduce me price
of Il 900 OF acres from 81 % per acre 10 10 cts
direct loss to The old States of 25ths oil their ine-
rest in the public domain. This is the number Of
acres it will operate upon instantly. The bill will,
in addition have prospective operation upon scren
hundred and fay millions of acres, which are without
the limits OF the new States.

TREASURY NOTES AGAIN.

On Tuesday Mr.. Cambreleng introduced bill
to authorize further emission Of Treasury Notes.
We do hope that there will be found in the House
OF Representatives majority who will now take
stand against the issuing Of any more. Authorize
loan at once of ten or twenty millions to be nego
tia,ed when wanted. 1t is evident there will be
deficiency in the revenue for years to come On
the LIST instant further reduction OF the duties took
place-on the LIST of January 1910, another, and in
1912 another will take place to the extent OF five
millions in a few months on the remnant that will
then exist Who does not see that unless loan
is resored to- the authority 10 issue Treasury Notes
must be granted from year TO year hereafter and be
augmented in amount2
We call the attention Of Messrs. PIcKENs, RHETT,
and JONES' of Virginia, to their speeches, wherein
they declared former occasions that they assented
to the measure only temporary one 10 anticipate
debts due the Government We also refer to the
Special Message of the President in May last on
the same subject. What have become of all those
bonds of banks and merchanls2 They have or will
become available to meet the payment of the Trea-
sury Notes already authorized TO be issued; and yet
more are now called for A miserably weak fnan-
cial policy!

INTERFERENCE OF FEDERAL OFFICERS
IN ELECTIONS.

Let the democracy of the country arise in
! its strength. Let il be true to the name and
doctrines of Thomas JEFFERSON, and the
| country is safe r'-Globe, 22d Nov. 1888.
We have given no opinion as to the details OF a
bill to accomplish object so desirable as the pro-
lection of the elective right from the invasion Of off,
eial prerogahue We think law may be prepared
that will perfectly effect the desired object without
being obnoxious to any objections that can be pro-
pery urged against it, Let us carry out THE JEFFEa-
soNIAs doctrine IN The spirit and in The Letter, and the
desired reform will be accomplished without niring-
ing the rights ofcizenship, but only circumscrbing
official prerogatipe. The duties of officers to the
government are already prescribed by law-let theif
duties to the people, and the condition upon which
they shall hold their Offices be also prescribed The
Jeersonian doctrine Is (see jeff Cor vol 3, p. 45O)
that aterrcnces 10Th elections tohsthsr of The State
or The General Government By officers Of tas htier,
SHOULD DEEMED CAUSE OF REMOVAL" This is all
we ask to be incorporated into bill. This win be
sufficient without any other penalties, and the obec-
tions Of dsfranchsement" and "the abridgement
Of freedom of speech" will not apply II is bringing
the federal officer more nearly TO equality with
the czen-it is making him pay for the ease and
dignity of office which considered SO much above
mere citizenship that they are universally and ar
IDENTIFY sought No Equal Rights Democrat" can
consistently object to such law Let the people say
to their servants we give you place and pay you
for your services-but II shall be on the condition
that you shall employ your time in the duties we
prescribe, and that you shall not intermeddle or in
terere with our free choice dismissal, control
of yourself or other servants like you.
Some men have little influence or importance ex-
cept that with which an appointment from the Exc
cutive invests them This power then which APP
pertains solely to federal patronage should not be
per nilted GEN JACKSON justly said, to come in
conflict with the freedom of elections"
In another column will be found several notices
OF this subject from some of our Republican cotem-
porares, and The Report ofa Committee Of The LSgis
lature of Connecticut, looking to the same object
which the purity of elections much demands.
We quote paragraph below, which will serve to
illustrate with how little truth or consistency the
party in power practice upon the precepts of Jefer-
son, and how extended the abuse is becoming.
The Salem Mass.) Gazette says:
1--WE are glad to learn, the people of Middlesex
and Norfolk counties, about TO memorialiZe the
President for the remota from Office of the Collec
tor of the port Of Boston, on the ground of his I'M

"WEDNESDAY. Jan. 9.

Mr.. POPE moved to suspend the rules to make a
BILL for pensioning the Indian fighters engaged prior
toll9o the special order for next Tuesday. MIR. P.
said these were a very brave and merilorous class
of men, and it was due 10 Them to act on the sub
ject.
The motion was lost-Yeas 60, nays l69.
swARTwoUT DErALcArloN
The House took up the resolution to refer the re-
port on Swartwoul's detalcation to Select Com
mitlee OF nine MEMBERSHIP question being on the
mott to appoint the committee by ballot.
Mr.. BOND, of Ohio, took the floor, and entered
into an elaborate examination of the documents con-
nected with this subject, and argued from them that
the Secretary of the Treasury had been guilty of
gross and cupable neglect of duty, and thereby en-
couraged and facilitated the defacation of Swart-
won't, Price, and others. He considered the profess
sions which General Jackson made when he came
into power, and the peculiar aid exclusive claims
which the present and late administrations made to
regard for the purity OF the Government, and the
safety of the public money and then established the
fact that these very men encouraged corruption and
defacaion BY their own neglect Of duty, and BY act
ing upon the pois system, in selecting public officers
&c, .. II. ..f =.
He went into argument to show that the attempt
made by the Secretary of the Treasury to throw the
blame upon subordinate officers had failed and that
the Secretary was alone responsible for the neglect
The duties imposed on the Secretary Of the Treasury
by the act of 1882 and other acts required Of him the
supervision Of the accounts OF the Collector which
Mr. Woodbury. had endeavored to shin off upon the
NaVaiOmcer ana other supofdinateS. ii Mr.. Ihroop
was cenSurable, he had not been removed. He was
continued in office, during the whole period these
defalcalions, and was then further rewarded by an
appointment as a Charge ... II"
He showed that the existing laws were ample
wiha proper attention to their Improvement, for the
protection of the public money; but the President
and the Secretary of the Treasury recommend 10 us
TO pass laws making it illegal hereafter to steal the
public money.
Mr.. TAYLOR, of New York, did not wish, he
said, TO PREJUDICE this case. He would not anticipate
the duties of the committee. After due exam
inat,on let the blame be laid where it belongs. He
wasopposed to any general abuse hunting committee
we had seen the evil consequences OF such com.
mittees But in pursuit of any particular and spe-
cited abuse, he would go as tar as any one He OBJ
posed the proposition to appoint the committee BY
ballot
The debate was continued by Messrs. THOMAS
and MENIF'EE.

Immediately rebuked him in a strain Of great Sc
verify, earnestness and energy. Mr., Cambreleng
suffered intensely under The mered castigaiions
which ensued from Messrs. GARLAND, CUSHING and
WISE.
Mr. PIcKENs indicated that the Calhoun-Nullifers
were not so completely allied to the sdminstr ton

been grossly debauched."
