A CITIZEN
Land Reform and its Advocates.

The following extract from letter of Mr.
Van Amringe, to Young America is very
| Instructive in more senses than one. 1t shows
up number of individuals, (for whom we had
better opinion,) in pitable light. Others have
only showed their ears, yon can always tell ar
ass by his bray. 1t is rather amusing to notice
what the old apostle says about one B. II. Boyn
ton He prayed the loudest of al the Miwau.
kee Delegates in the Industrial Congress at Chi.
cago last year. He was endeavoring to "lay
pipe" for Isaac p to get a nomination for the
Presidency, what effect the detection OF this
quandom land rcformer will have upon the in
terests of the nation at large, and the fortunes
Of Mr.. Walker in particular remains to be devcl
opcd. Listen to Mr.. Van Amringe:
regret to say that in the hubbub which the
Land Monopolists got up to defeat the bill, some
persons, who look 10 the people for office, and
who are pledged for Land Limitation, showed
a want of consistency. William Pitt Lynde
a member of the bar, and who when running
for Congress on the Democratic ticket, had
twice pledged himself in favor of all our land
measures, now receded from his former po-
position, and refused 10 speak for our cause
w. w. Graham, another lawyer and a
pledged member of the National Reform AS
sociation of Milwaukee, recanted and dsa-
vowed the Land Limitation doctrine. George II.
Walker, (brother TO Senator Walker,) was elect
ed to the Assembly as Land Reformer, and had
presided over the Land Reform meetings at Mil
waukee, in June 1850, when strong Land
Limitation resolution was adopted This same
Geo. Ii Walker is the owner of about two hun
dred lots in Milwaukee, and | always doubted
his Land Reform sincerity. lie is now oppos-
ed to Land Limitation and voted against the bill.
His conduct should bring no suspicion on his
brother |. p. Walker who is not land specula-
tor and who is very efficiently in favor of our
Reform. might mention also among the in
consistent, B. Ii. Boynton, who was represent
tative from Milwaukee in the Chicago Industrial
Congress, but he is man of little steadtast-
ness of character or influence, and his secession
is of small consequence. What position Mr..
Cramer, of the Wisconsin, occupies on this
subject cannot tell, and perhaps he does not
know himself As Mr.. Grahams name is on
the National Executive Committee, his detection
ought to be known, that we may not be further
injured by him.
The apostle concludes his letter by saying,
that our friend El,nore remains true to the prin
ciples of Land Reform.
We don't think there is any danger of his de-
lection on that point. We think the least broth
er Cramer can do in the premises, is to state
categoricaly his position, in answer TO the dog
NAUTICAL query of brother Van Amringe. Who
says this is asking too much ?

SHORT nnESSES

Mr.. EDITOR Permit me at this time to
make few remarks through your columns In
regard TO the short dress and Turkish trowsers.
All must admit that in order TO dress fashion.
ably at this time, ladies must forego much of the
ease and comfort they might enjoy, were they
permitted by society to dress as reason and com.
mon sense dictate.
The ladies of Seneca Falls, Syracuse, Utica
and other easteri cities, have, with much ptopri.
ETY. adopted the short dresses and Turkish trow.
sers. Some of the ladies of our city have wise
ly followed their example and if it adds as
much to their comfort, as it does to their appear
ance, | most heartily recommend it to general
adoption.
There are some in every city, no doubt, who
oppose the change; but wherefore, it would
puzzle me to tell, unless, indeed, they can find
no precedent, "no time-honored CUSTOM" to
sanction their use. But what custom is there,
of long standing, however Objectionable it NAV
be, but will have its adherents and firm support
ers There is no custom, however absurd, no
old theory, however false, but those lovers of an
cient form and customs prefer them to those of
more modern origin, however much they may
be governed by reason and truth.
The more intelligent of our ladies' are convin-
ced that the present mode of dress is injurious
to health and the more independent minded
have, by their actions, said that they value health
and comfort more than the approval ofthose who
oppose the change.
Why, in the name of common sense, will la
dies persist in wearing long dresses and heavy
skirts, when the penalty of SO doing, is impaired
health and distorted forms, and yielding up of
many of the comforts they may enjoy by adopt
ing custom that leaves them the free and grace
full motion, which nature has given them. Now
ladies' let me say to you, and think speak the
honest sentiments of three-fourths of society,
when say to you who have adopted the new
mode, wear them, feeling that you have the ap-
prevail of those who wish to SEQ you dressed be-
comingly, and enjoying that ease and comfort
which fashion has SO long denied you, And
you who are convinced that a change is neces-
sary, do not hesitate to adopt them ; and you who
are not yet decided, ask to reflect on the advan-
tages and disadvantages of each, and then be
governed by your own reason and when our
better judgement decides in favor of the new
mode, hesitate not ; your own sense of right will
sustain you, and your friends will respect you
the more for it. s. l.. w.

mean enough to take newspaper one or more
years. and then refuse to take it out of the post

TyPEs.--Ihe last number of the Daguerrean

communication from Mr.. Hill, relative to his
discovery of producing variety of tints of coors

variety of blooming flowers can be imprinted
with degree Of eKactness and briancv which

ably be SIX months before the discovery is ready
for the public. Mr.. Hill, in order to show th,,
he can produce more than one color at once on
plate, says he has produced several portraits
one OF laboring man, with a sun-burpt face
very red cheeks and lips blue eyes, auburn hair
the crayas red and blue; all ,he above colors are

the chrome yellow, color which he has the
most difficulty with, but which he thinks he
can overcome. The discovery, if it should turn
out as stated, is very interesting and important
one. We are assured, by gentleman of this
city, who has seen the specimens, that the dis
coyery is genuine, and that the colors taken
have The same force and brIiancy as is exhibit

PRACTICAL FARMING

The following hints may be little late in the
season. but they will be early enough for the fall.
We hope that those of our scientific farmers
who have not adoped this plan of sowing, nor ex.
perimented with it will at least give it a trial.
we have no doubt but that man can raise more
wheat from 10 acres OF ground in this manner
followed every year, than he could get from 40
acres Of ground which he sows haphazard every
year:
ADVANTAGES OF DRILLING IN WHEAT.
A saving of seed-Five pecks of wheat drilled
in is equal TO two bushels sowed broadcast ::
every kernel is neatly covered at an uniform
depth
2. saving of labor--any person that can
manage team can complete, in the neatest man
her, from ten to fifteen acres per day.
3. An increase of crop--Small ridges of
earth are left between the rows of wheat-which
by the action of the frost, slides down and COW
ers the roots, thereby preventing winter killing
Light and heat are admitted between the rows
and prevent injury by rust A vigorous growth
is given to the young plant, and its position, in
a constantly moist place prevents injury from
droRth.

MELANcHoLY-We are panied at being obi.
ged to announce the melancholy end of one or
our California adventures.
| From various letters received in town, the sad
news is confirmed, that S. s. Esterbrooks was
executed by a mob about the middle or last of
March for the murder OF man who was part
ner OF his in mining operations. From all the
circumstances which have come TO our knowl-
edge the facts are something like the following :
He was mining with his partner, at Red
ding's Springs, about 200 miles up the river from
Sacramento. On Friday night, the l4th or 2lst
of March it seems that his partner, Price had re-
tired for the night, and was disturbed by Esta-
brooks, who was not inclined to retire. Wheth-
er they had had any words previous, does not
appear but upon Prices urging him TO come to
bed he took gun and shot him in the head be
asserted that it was accidental, that he did not
mean TO kill him.
Whether it was so, or whether he was intoxi-
Gated, can hardly be known now but one thing
is certain, it was never safe for Estabrooks to
drink for it maddened him and crazed him i'm
I
crime committed under those circumstances
1t should certainly prove warning against the
use ofalcoholc drinks.
The situation of his wife and his three inno-
cent babes, whom he has left behind calls for
our tenderest sympathies and no one, we hope
no one who has the means, will forget to render
them such substantial tokens of good will as their
fororn condition demands ; and while the tear of
sympathy falls from our cheeks, let the dollar of
sincerity leap from our pockets.
He was murdered by self-constituted cour,
and jury within twenty hours after the man was
| killed.
This summary butchery of fellow being
seems to be the highest law known in California
We pity the man who has fancy for life or death
in California.
However little provocation Estabrooks had
for killing Price, the men who murdered him
had less. They were in cool blood, they had
numbers to deliberate, and time to discuss and
we should be 10th, very 10th to constitute part
of mob, who were thinking of sending fellow
being to his account with all his imperfections
on his head"
Out upon such mockery of justice! The
state of society in California at, this moment is
more deplorabe than in any spot on the face of
the globe. And it has been growing constantly
worse, since human life has been unpro-
tected by juries and courts of Justice.

Thin Skinned. Very.

We made a remark last week about new
village that was springng up south of Wauke-
gan, BY the name of Port Clinton. The very
dignfed editor of the Gazette, or some one who
does that drudgery for tho paper, thought it of
sufficient importance for leader for that re-
doubtable sheet. We know that any of our
stems" are good enough for leaders for some
papers that, is not what we wish to speak
about. But we wish to apologize with our hat
in hand, with our betting friend of the Gazette
for the inadvertcnt and playful remark we made
about the prospects of Port Clinton, we thought
Waukegan could afford to be magnaminous Git

ever needed, would DO necessary now. We are
very glad our neighbor has two hats, that betrays
the prosperity of Waukegan, but why throw it
out TO make us feel unhappy, we have but one
head, and do not need two bats. We are very
glad to hear of the increasing prosperity of
Waukegan. We always knew it would come

SINGULAR DISCLOSURES.

For the purpose of correcting various rumor
which are afloat, | make the following state
ment:
On the evening of May lst, being presen
where lady was magnctzed, took down he
words at the time. She stated that man hac
been murdered and robbed near GAINESVILLE, ir
this State, describing the locality by courses anc
distances, and also the manner the deed was
done, and where the body was concealed. She
described the man murdered and the amount anC
kind of money of which he was robbed, anC
how he carried it on his person told wha
course he was travelling, and that the two men
who killed him had followed him a long distance
to rob him. There were present ten persons Of
my acquaintance who heard this.
The same lady being magnetizcd May 2nd
and l6 persons present, she said the body had
been removed from the log, where it was first
put !; and that it was covered with leaves and
brush. The clairvoyant then said, the two men
who killed him, were making preparations to put
the body in the lake, about mile distant that
they have constructed raft for that purpose,
and were at that moment walking round the lake
to seek the best place to sink the body in deep
water.
She then gave an exact description Of the
two men, which is now in my posse ssion.
May 3rd. Two of my neighbo went with me
to make search we found the lake as desert
bed, miles N. East of Janesville, and , miles
n. West of Mount Zion. We were assisted in
our search by the Messrs. Stevens and Gilmore,
of Harmony.
We found on the beach of the lake the mate
rails Of which the raft was constructed, the foot
prints entirely round the lake, e two men an
swering the description given by the cairvoyant,
and the prairie burned, and other unmstakeable
signs of the truth of her statement.
We were occupied in the search not more
than two hours and returned home satisfied that
the body was in the lake.
The search for the body has been continued
but without success up to last evening. The
place where the deed was done, and where the
body was concealed the first and second times,
have been found and marked.
The clarvoyant said she received this intelli-
gence from the spirit of an old man of the name
of Graves, who said he communicated it to her
because he knew of no one else that he could
communicate with in the body, and he wanted
to have the murder known.
1t has been ascertained that an old man an
swcring the exact description, as to age, bust
ness, and person, has lived 81 miles north of
Of Janesville, and that he died year ago or more.
see that the Badger State has gone off half
cooked with the information they had, and hints
that the body was carried out from Kenosha and
deposited in the lake; and soon expects to see
somebody around lecturing upon cairvoyance at
two shlings head. l suppose they know of
10 other motive, except the Dollar, which can
actuate them and they perhaps ought to be ex-
cused, since it is so marvellous to them that
anybody else can be actuated by better motive.

The Free Soil Element.

No man, who has any aspirations for National
bonors, can afford to disregard the Free Soil ell
enent in politics Small as were the number OF
Free Soil voters, in time past they defeated
Henry Clay, for his pro-slavery speech in 1899.
Gen. Cass, the nominee of party almost al
ways victorious, was overthrown by it. And
thousands of men, who voted for Cass and lay
lor in 1913, have made up their minds deIibcr.
ately, that come what may, they will not vote a
gain for a Presidential candidate whose position is
equivocal on the subject of Slavery. This feel
ing has been deepcned and strengthened by the
enactment of the Compromise measures, and the
operation Of the Fugitive Slave law. Poti-
clans can not put aside the claims of Free Soil,
by any sort of political lcgerdemain. Nor can
they neutraize the Free Soil element,by any ad-
mixture Of other ingredients, or stay its pro-
grcss, by any temporizing policy. Thrcugh the
party organization, or over them, it is bound to
make its way, till Freedom and Democracy,
Liberty and Union, one and insepcrable, now and
forever, shall be emblazoned on every banner,
and be the triumphal shout and song of Jubilee,
of the whole People Fire. Dem.

THE FIVE BLEEDING WoUNDs.--Mr Clay.
styptc has failed to staunch one, the largest, O
the five mortal wounds. The South is not sat
isfied with the operation of the Fugitive Slave
Law. The North will not perform her disagree
able duty with sufficient alacrty. The su6lon
ed paragraphs are from an article in the Mobile
Herald and Tribune.
| The expense Of getting Sims, it is estimated
was to his master about $4,000. The rest ofthe
expense was borne by the city Of Boston. In
| Lynn and New Bedford there are several hun
bred fugitives, yet no one has thought of going
thither in search of them. The expense of do
ing 50 would be reason enough for not doing it,
but when to the expense the danger is added
(perhaps hanging incontinenly, as they practice
in California; there is hardly any STAKEHOLDER
with nerve enough to encounter the chances
If such one were disposed to get his slave at
an expense Of $4,000, he would in all probability
sickle little before the prospect of summary
execution.
To say that law is carried into force, when
it subjects an injured party to all this expense
and danger is to give expression to an untruth
fed in New England as though it were repealed,
for none but rich men, who can afford to lose a
slave, can enjoy the luxury of driving boston IN
to a paroxySrn of tumut. The mass OF our peo-
pie must endure the wrong, if they cannot con-
sole themselves with the agreeable reflection
that, under the benign influence of law they can
recover property worth only $500 at a cost Of
S2OOO-to say nothing of the pleasant excite
men, which is produced by the fear of lynch
ing -fCommonvealth.
