The land bill it is computed will distri-
butte annually among the states, $3,0OO,-
600, which has heretofore made up the re-
venue, and contributed to the yearly ex-
penses of the Government. At the time
this bill was passed, Mr.. Clay, chairman
OF the committee on finance, reported 10
Congress, that the next years revenue,
would by no means meet the necessary
wants OF Government, and that extraord-
nary means would have to be resorted to-,
to raise funds. 1t is rot somewhat strange
under these circumstances, that Congress
should take measures to dispose Of annual
ly three millions Of the revenue. # is plain
that an Increased tariff upon necessary
articles must be resorted to, not only to
make up this deficiency, but in addition to
pay the necessary agents in the distribu-
ton. The project Of distribution, is plau-
slble one, but it is real whlg measure,
benefiting the rich, and silently operating
to the disadvantage of the poor. The mo-
ney distributed among the States, will be
applied most probably to the liquidation Of
debts to foreign capitalists, created by ex-
travagant and improvident legislation. It
lightens the state tax, which generally
comes most heavily upon the rich and
landed proprieters, but it must increase
the general government tax, which falls
equally upon all consumers of foreign i'm
ports. 1t is among the grand schemes of
eleciloneerng, entered into by Clay & Co.
to perpetuate the power of Whiggery.

country last winter, asking appropriations
from Congress to construct harbor at this
place, not the slightest illusions were made
TO signify, that Southport possessed advan-
tages or preferences over any other town
on the lake.
We have deemed it advisable to say
thus much, that our friends in the country
may have a correct understanding of the
position which we have hitherto taken, and
then judge of the fairness or unfarness of
the respective parties. We are confident
that the citizens Of Southport in their future
action on the subject of harbors, will throw
no impeachment whatever in the way Of Ra-
cine. We believe every citizen of this place
would be willing to sign petition, asking
an appropriation for Racine, provided the
petition were Invested of all ;braggadocio
or invidious comparisons.

Great excitement prevails in New York in relation
to the murder of Samuel Adams parallel can scarce
ly be found on record. The murder was committed in
broad day light, in building in the most frequented
part OF the city, passed and rpassed by crowds every
hour, the body deliberately packed in box. and the
box set up in the passage way until carried by porter
to be shipped ON board vessel. Colt the murderer,
is young man Of fine TALENT and very respectfully con-
nected and his appearance indicates any thing but the
nature he has exhibited. The evidence against him is
OF the cleares nature and he has been fully committed
for trial. The trial it is thought, will come on imme-
dlatey Hls counsel, it is said will put in plea OF
that the murder was committed in moment of pass-o
caused by Ilsoent language of the deceased Murder
committed in this way with returning reason brings
rcmorse Cots conduct is the opposite of this being
prehend the nature that would be guilty of such
crime.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The Acadia has arrived in Boston bring
ing news from England fifteen days later
than the news brought by the Caledonia.
No important business yet transacted in the
new Parliament, though much excitement
existed both in and out Of it. The intentions
of the new ministry with respect to this
country, or the government at home, have
not yet been sufficiently developed, to form
any thing more than speculative opinion
Of IFS future course. Teas have fallen in
England. The London money market is
close. Wheat has declined in price.
The news from China is not very i'm
portant. The affairs of the English in
that quarter are far from being in favor
able condition. Trade at Canton had been
partially resumed, but much to the disad-
vantage Of the British. The Chinese are
terrifying Canton, and new accessions of
troops are continually making.
France is represented as being in dis
turbed state. Instructions have occurred
in several parts Of the kingdom, in which
several lives have been lost The rioters
in number of instances were fired upon
by the military, and men, women, and
children were unfortunately slaughtered

THE TELEGRAPH.
SOUTHPORT, W. T., OCTOBER 10, 1871.
MCLEOD.

The trial Of Mcleod was commenced at
the Court House in the city Of Utica, on
Monday the 4th inst. Our latest informa-
ton contains but little more than the open
ing proceedings of the trial. Judge Mel
son being prevented by ill health from at
tending to his official duties, Judge Gridley
presides at the trial. The first two hours
were spent in empannelling jury---after
a number of challenges by the defendants
counsel, jury Of twelve men were sworn.
Mr.. Mcleod came into court accompanied
by his counsel Messrs. Spencer and Brad
ley. The first witness sworn. and the only
one whose testimony has reached US, was
Mr.. Wells, who was the owner of the Car.
olne at the time the boat was DESTROYED.
His testimony gives minute detail of the
attack upon the boat, but so far as we can
conceive, contains nothing which goes 10
implcate Mcleod in the transaction.
AS this is a case Of more than ordinary
interest, most of the eastern papers will
contain full reports Of the trial, to the ex-
cluson of much other matter. The trial
it is supposed will occupy some four or five
days. We shall probably be able to pub
. lish all the material facts connected with
the trial Of this important case next week.
MIR. Mcleod is said to be quite at his
case, and whites away his time by familiar
conversation and reading newspapers. He
is sanguino in his expectations of an &C.
quittal. The court house is crowded to
suGocaton, and numerous strangers are in
attendance from different parts Of the I'm
ion---no excitement is manifested, and the
utmost attention to good order is observed.
The Sheriff Of the county has caused priv
LEGGED seats to be erected, sufficient to the
accommodation Of fifty newspaper report.
ers. Mcleod enjoys his freedom of &C
ton, and is allowed to pass to and from
Bagg's Hotel as suits his pleasure, without
any particular attendance.

A HoAx.-A story has obtained consid-
cradle circulation among the newspapers,
describing heroic adventure of Captain
Knapp, formerly Of Racine in this county,
now Captain Of the United States Revenue
Gutter on the lakes. 1t appears that the
story concerning the deeds of the valiant
Capt. was first published in newspaper
printed in Chatauque county, N. Y, the
ydrn of which runs in substance THUS -
Capt Knapp while cruising about Lake
Erie in the revenue cutter, received infor-
nation that his presence was needed a.
Cleveland, whittier he fastened with all
possible dispatch. On his arrival at Cleve-
land he found the British war steamer,
Minos, engaged in taking soundings and
surveying the passage to the harbor Capt.
Knapp hailed the steamer several times,
but receiving no answer, he fired gun
over the stern Of the steamer, and another
over her bow, haiing her after each dis
charge ; but still receiving no answer
The capt. now became indignant at the
conduct Of the steamer, and fired ball
right into her hull. The war steamer upon
the reception Of this shot, took mortal
fright--put on immediate application of
steam, and made toward the Canada sho re
with all possible haste. The account ap.
pauds the extraordinary courage Of Capt.
Knapp, and says the belief is becoming
prevalent that he is destined to become the
second "Hero Of Lake Erie'' 1t is also
stated, that the war stea mer was armed
with Paixhan guns, single shot from
which, might have blown the capt. and his
cutter " sky high"
