The Washington correspondent, of the New

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York American writes
The grand measure of National Relief which
must precede every other scheme, and without
which, Pennsylvania and the West will listen to
no other plan, is the issue of United States stock
to the amount of $l0O,000,000 at 3 per cent, as
the immediate realization of the principal of the
Land Revenue. This being thus realized and
fairly divided, the Distribution Act may be re-
pealed. But give you notice that the Distribu-
ton Act must and will be repealed within two
years at farthest, in any event. This is the only
measure which can retain to the States the solid
advantages hoped (but not yet realized) from that
law. This new measure is merely modification
of that Act, and inuoivcs no ne,c principle. This,
or NOTHING, is the alternative.
