"Land Reform, Extraordinary

We understand that Major ]. P. De
FOREST, Doct. II. II. DowsER, and the
Hon. JonS NJ. CoLNas, are applicants
for the Offices Of Register and Receiver of

rests- his claim partly upon his "Ofiicial

the fact that he was once a school-matc of

The Express and DR.. Sc3man.


What can be the matter Of these loco
tocos?' says our wing friend of the Re-
publican, as he copies into his columns an
article from the Miners Express, COM
menting we think rather too severely upon
the incorporation into the appropriation
bill of a clause allowing S24 mileage TO
DIR. Selman as Presidential Elector. Now.
if the members Of the Legislature deemed
ii just TO pass special act for the relief of
DR.. selman, placing him upon the same
grounds and allowing him the same pay
as the other electors were allowed by law,
why should our friend of the Express Law
the blame, If blame there be, upon the
Doctor. That gentleman had nothing 10
do with the incorporation Of this clause in
the appropriation bill. Furthermore, So
reasonable did the allowance appear to all
the members that no word of objection
was ever made to it, either by wing or
democrat. In view Of these circumstan-
ces, our friend Of the Republican may well
exclaim, "What can be the matter ofthese
locofocos:'

APPOINTMENTS IN lowA.-The Iowa
State Gazette, after announcing the i'm
portant fact that Fitz Doodle, chairman of
the wing state central committee, is in
Washington, waiting the approach of Old
Tack and the ides of March, insinuates
that all applications for Office in Iowa, in
order to be successful, should receive bis
official sanction. The givings out Of the
wing members Of the General Assembly,
and their alleged refusal to make recon-
mendalions, as the Republican says, in an
.sof6cial capacity" seems to favor the inn
preston that the Wing State Central Com
nittee are to stake the responsibility. y
We make this note for the benefit Of our
numerous wing readers who are applicants

The Convey system.

The Burlington Gazette says that men,
orials are in circulation in Missouri, Pc
titicning Congress to establish line Of
conveys between Fl. Lavenworth and
California, 10 be composed Of Geo or SEQ
mounted riilemen and Dragons, for the
protection Of emigrants and property up
on the great plains-one half of this force
to act alternately as outward, and the other
as inward bound convoy, and both to star,
in April Of each year.
We are looking with great interest to
the present Congress, for the adoption OF
preparatory steps for the construction OF
some kind of national thoroughiare to
California and Oregon, without which
those possessions are and must be compa-
ratively valueness to our government, ard
without which it would be almost impos-
sible for us long TO hold them against in
ternal violence and rebellion or external
force. Until some such measures are
completed, the wants of the western emil
grating population call loudly upon the
government for protection, at least, if it
cannot ofIord them assistance. At pres
ent we see no better proposition for afford
ing that protection than that offered by
the convoy system.

The C,0st.omcc Race.

Notwithstanding the publication Of "the
Hon. John NJ. Colman's 'official aristo-
cracy address last fall, containing such
astounding developments relative to the
corrupt practices Of ofice-holders, and the
immense taxation to which they are sub
jected 10 carry out party movements, the
wings Of this city appear, nevertheless,
anxious almost to man for the loaves and
fishes land determinedto see the folly Of it
for themselves. Almost every prominen:
wing you meet has petition in his hat.
If this is doubted by any Of our readers,
they can convince themselves Of its truth
by asking their wing friends TO take their
hats off. There are now in this city nine
applicants for the Post Office, all Of whose
chances are good, very good. This,
though at first sight apparently strange, is
nevertheless true as preaching. Let us
ilh,strsle:~ one man rests his claims upon
the probable appointment Of Caleb B.
Smith, as Postmaster General; another
upon that of Andrew Stewart TO the same
office; another upon Thaddeus Stevens
chances; another upon T. Buchanan, and
so on to the end Of the list Of little big men
who are aspiring to cabinet appointments,
and who we think have just as.good pros
poets Of filling cabinet stations as the nu-
merous wing applicants in this city have
Of getting the post Office.
The claims Of one Of the most strongly
recommended applicants are founded, by
himself and his friends, as we arc inform
ed, upon his notorious unfitness to occupy
any other station. His petition is signed
by ''the Indiana Clique" o, wouldn't

Drug and Book Store consitu beauti-

respondence They are so honest and
such sincere christians
But seriously speaking, if The sword Of
prescription is to come down, we uouid
like to know into whose hands we are
going to fall. Among the hordes Of APP
plicants we notice one or two who would
make good officers. including one who has
been backed off the track by the Indiana
Clique, and one whom they couldn't bluff

Einjsrasion to California.


From all parts Of Iowa we hear Of ex-
petitions fitting out for California. There
is scarcely town in the State of five hun
dred inhabitants but what is fitting up an
independent or auxiliary company. The
members generally comprise a fair average
Of citizens, as regards responsibility and
usefulness; and as to enterprise, the very
character Of the undertaking forbids the
insinuation that they have not their full
share Of it. Many Of the best and most
prominent citizens of the State are max
ing preparations to be of. Indeed if all
go who are now making preparations, it is
feared that their departure may seriously
disarrange the business Of certain portions
of the State. This, however, we do not
anticipate to any considerable extent, al
though we must confess that we cannot
look upon the departure Of SO many citi-
zens from our sparscly populated statc,iE
any other light than as detriment TO To-
wa, to say nothing Of evil forebodings
which we cannot for our lives avoid feel
ing in their own behalf.
Nearly all the emigration from this State
will take the overland route and will start
about the first Of April. They will pro
baby arrive in California in the latter part
of August-the hottest and most sickly
season af the year. OF course they will
be destitute Of provisions and all other ne
cessaries of life. Whether they will find
a sufficient supply there for the immense
hordes who will arrive at that time, is
doubtful TO say the least, and is a contin-
gency upon which men should no; lightly
leopard life, health and everything else.
Shelter of course they cannot expect TO
find, when they arrive in the hot, sultry
climate of the interior Of California, worn
out with the hardship of their long jour
ncy. Besides all this we see nothing in
the extravagant gold stories put in circu
lation, which offers any reliable prospect
Of the realization Of the golden hopes Of
the hardy adventurer who, fortunately, sur
wives all these difficulties. We have
heard many glowing stories which have
cmana.ed from men who have returned,
or written back; but it is 10 be observed,
that in almost every solitary instance
where these stories cmanate from reliable
individuals, they relate, not what they
have themselves seen, or acquired, but
what has been told them by others-cx-
aggerated accounts which come through
several different individuals which never
lose in the telling.

Old lack getting muliss already.


We clip the following from the New
Orleans correspondence Of the st. Louis
Union, and recommend its perusal to s'the
numerous applicants Cor office in Iowa."
If, as our friend Of the Republican inti-
mates, "the applicants are numerous"
If old lack is getting SO mulish already,
it will be hard for the wings Of Iowa, who,
it may be supposed from the result Of the
Presidential election in this State, have
not made very fayorableinapression upon
the President elect. II he takes OH in
this way already, our particular friend
Judge Colman will hardly "get to- sleep
with Old lack, when he goes on to Wash
ington.
The correspondent of the Union says:
"Old lack" is an enigma to his partisan
friends. They thought he would be easily
fashioned to their purposes, and they
shouted vociierously at tile sound of his
name. lam convinced from what | gather
here, that he will not be the possire in

lutte and uncommitted. To his best most
intimate and confidential friends, he speaks
plainly, as in his early letters. He de-
tests, cordially, the hungry swarms of
party adventures which have landed at
Baton Rouge, since the seventh of No.
vember. TO many he has been almost
rude to all very cold and unceremoni-
Gus. Last week, a formidable deputalion
waited on him. with an address duly writ

eager political friends in certain west

their congratulations. The scenes on the
steamer which bore said deputation, were
limited at by passenger who was an old
acquaintance, and when the address was
delivered, Old lack replied, at will not
be convenient for me to visit" The
would be great men were sorely puzzled
and sorely disappointed, at SO brief res

who have been to Baton Rouge to help

present determination of "Old lack" 10

from the Democratic. Can he be over
ruled by the Wing politicians? On the
answer to that question, depends the char
acter of the next Administration.
