GEoRcIA AND THE LAND FUND.-The
Legislature Of Georgia, it will be recol
lect.d, passed resolutions denouncIng the
distribution of the proceeds arising from
the sale OF the public lands, as unconstl-
,utional and unjust and as if to give fur.
Their evidence of their entire adherence
Of the measure, they resolved that The
Treasury Of that State should no, be con.
taminated by the receipt of any portion of
the fund that is was " base bride. -
Having led the way, legislatively, in re-
jecting, with Indignation, any share IN
this "contaminatng" fund, it was reason.
ably supposed that Georgia, jealous Of the
distinction thus obtained, would al least
be the last to accept her dividend.
A few days since, however, the Hon.
Mark A. Cooper, member Of the House
OF Representatives, from Georgia, had
transmitted to him from the Governor Of
that State, a power Of attorney authoriz-
ing him to receive tie States dividend Of
the Land Fund. Mr.. Cooper presented
the claim a, the Treasury, and Drec-
tor of the Central Bank Of Georgia has
since been at Washington in communlca-
ton with Mr.. Cooper on the subject. The
demand, itappears, was made by the Gov
ernor TO enable him, with the aid OF Geor'
gia's share of the Land Fund, to escape
the dshonoring Of the State by avcrtng
a failure to meet certain impending pay
ment OF interest on her public debt

From Mexico. -RELEAsE OF ALL THE
SANTA FE PRISONERS. The schr. Laura
Virginia, in Z days from Tampico, brings
to the editors Of the New Orleans Bulle-
Tin dates from the city Of Mexico to the
18th ut.
The most interesting item Of news is
that of the release from Imprisonment Of
all the Prisoners taken in the unfortunate
Santa Fe Expedition. Gen. Santa Ana
celebrated his birth day by this act OF
grace. A letter from the American MIN.
ister states that they will all be sent home
in the first American vessel Of war that
touches at Vera Cruz. The prisoners
we're released on condition that if taken
again in arms against Mexico, they shall
suffer death.
The speech OF Santa Ana, at the OPEN
ing Of the Congress, represents the coun-
try as recovering from its late embarrass-
ments. The same bold language is useo
towards Texas as formerly, but the release
Of the Santa Fe prisoners is considered as
an indication that all hope Of the recon
quest Of Texas is abandoned. Baltimore

THE "LEApING EDITOR :"

In letter written BY Mr.. John Tyler,
in 1910. to a gentleman in Pittsburg, he
thus alluded 10 leading Loco Editor IN
this State
81 confess myself not all surprised at
the gross perversion of all truth, on the
mar, OF our opponents. This is not con
fined to Pntsburg. The leading Editor
ofthe Locos in this State is buslly ensng-
ed in the same dirty work, but takes good
care to make representations precisely
the opposite 10 those made by bis allies
with you. His correspondents represent
me as having held at St. Clalrsville, We
nv different language from that ascroed
to me at Pntsburg. Thus the one plays
his game desperately for the South, and
the other for the North"
The Baltimore Patriots rather malicious
ly inquiries of the Editor Of the Enquirer,
if he knew TO whom alusion was made:
"What leading editor in Virginia is
here referred TO as SO busily engaged IN
the same dirty work OF grossly perverilng
all Iu,h1 Can it be the editor OF the En-
oulrer, who now is so respectful and def
ereniis to the person who wrote this let
ter! We should like to see the articles
written and published by this leading ed.
tor, about the time referred to. They
would throw flood Of light upon Mr..
Tyler's opinion upon the land question:
and set at rest all doubt of the conslsten.
cy of his present opinions. But whether
this be done or not, the Enquirer will Ger
,ainly crafty the anxious wish of the pub
lie in this matter, by letting us know who
is the leading editor referred to-"
