HE PuRL'c LANDs.-Itseems to us that public
senslbility is not sufficiently aroused the subject
OF the extraordinary movement at Washington in
relation to this great national domain. The bold
movement of Mr. Calhoun Immediately after his
recent open adhesion TO the administration, in re-
lation TO these lands, IS mark of that reckless
ness of character of which heretofore WE should
not hardly have thought even the chief of the
him base enough, but did not think he would run
the risk OF mourning that popular md nation OF
the people such step would be likely to incur.
But it is now no longer doubted by the most IN,
telgent aud obser wing men, and best judges of
political movements that bargain has been con
summated between the aspiring Southerner aud the
great "Northern man with Southern principles III

Washington, Feb. z.

The House of Representatives went into the
Committee of the Whole, this morning Mr In
coin of Mass, being in the char, ana Iooh up tI,e
Bill from the Committee of Ways ana Means'rnak-
ing appropriations for the payment OF Revolutionary
and other Pensions, for the year l04o' =
The Bill was debated all day, in Committee, and
several amendments were proPoseo' Out no acuoh
WI NJ Re- Garland of La. opened the debate and
commented upon the conduct Of the Administra-
ton, under the pension law, with his usual free
don boIdness and severity. The pension law, it
seen,e allows the disbursing agents compensa-
zion for their services But the Secretary of the
Tronsury evades the spirit Of this provision, by
sanding large sums ef money to the peculiar favor
tics Of the Government, several months before it
is needed to meet the semi.annual payments, and
by applying this fund to their own use, while il
remains in their hands, these Sub.treasurers gain a
much larger amount for their services than would
be granted by direct salary. Mr. Garland show
ed from the estimates i'm the reports of the Treas
ury Department, that the amount paid out to Pen
soners in 1889 was about three millions of dollars,
and that there still remains in the hands oil the
Agents up,onrds Of one milii0n The appropra-
tons provided for by the Committee of Ways and
Means for 1910 amount TO about t0ur millions
Mr. Garland said he thought the estimates for the
year 1910 much tooarge, by their own showing
and he was DESTROYS of amending the pension law,
so as to prevent the Secretary OF the Treasury
from placing any money IN the hands of pension
agents more than one month before the Semi an
nuaI payments. ii not opposed to paying the
Agents for their services but thought it was dam
rerous practice to permit them 10 apply the
pension funds to private purposes, for their own
benefit.
Mr. Reed of Mass spoke against the conduct Of
the Secretary OF the Treasury, and exposed the Il.
buses growing out OF the Pension law, with much
effect. Ill said that under pretence Of not paying
their Pension Agents any thing for their services
the Administration had paid them indirectly, near
~ five times what they would have dared 10 pay
them directly. He thought this was proper tim,
to expose the illegal practices ofthe;A Administration
He was in favor of amending the law in the man
ner proposed, though he thought little good coult
come OF 1t now, because the G"T e had NJ
ation. But he was in favor of the principle, an
hoped it would be sustained.

GEN. HARRISON.
The son ufn signar of
the Declaration of INDIE
pendence, whose only
wealth was an honorable
md revered name; atthe
age ofl0 he left the study
of a lucrative profession
and went to serve his
country in the forests OF
the west, surrounded by
hosts of savages and all
the horrors attendant up
ON an Indian warfare.
Six years Of his earliest
manhood he devoted OK
clusively to the service
of his country in Il subor-
dinate military station,
and received no reward
but the thanks of the
good, great ard patriotic.
At the end of that period
his courage and powers
of mind, caused him TO be
selected for n post Of hon
or and toll, that of Sec
rotary of the North Wes-
tern Territ orr, an office,
however, where pecula-
tors have accumulated
fortunes. In this office
he was at length called

Of a long savage war,
with no privileges ofIux-

possessed by the meanest
soldier in his camp. AT

death blow to'the savage
foe, then went to meet
a civilized one against
whom be served with
honor to himself and glo-
ry to his country. ..
In 1914 he retired from
the office he held, which
the majority of men have
made iucl alive by specu-
lanon, as poor as he en-
tered it. In two years he
entered congress with
two main objects in view,
the reform of the militia
ry system for the benefit
OF the soldiers, and the
relief of the poor surDi-
o0rs Of the aonr for indie
pendence.
From the performance
OF his duties either as a
soldier, governor or MEM
Der of congress, he was
never known to swerve
lnthe slightest particular,
or seek his personal COM
Tort, when his duties TO
the public called him to
action.
Now, after a long life
spent in the service of
his country, he lives. up
on his daily labor, in a
PLAIN and unassuming bur
hospltable manner, in
'SSltlng his neighbors and
