The Scuatc took up the Iowa land bill to day.
This is the bill originally presented by Senator
Jones, and amended by Senator Dodge, asking
for grant of lands in aid of the construction
Of the Dubuque and Keoknk, and the Daven-
port and Council Bluffs Railroads. The bill
was opposed by Hon. Z. III. T. Hunter of
Virginia, Underwood of Kentucky and Dawson
of Georgia, and advocated by Atchnson Of Mis-
souri, and Douglas Of Illinois.
1t will be observed by the above, that the
fight has fairly commenced upon the important
question of our Railroad grants. How it will
terminate, time alone can determine, The re-
suit will be awaited by the people of this State,
with the most profound interest and anxiety
Ii the tide Of victory be against us, cur wishes
and aspirations must suffer the chilling blight
Of disappointment az disastrous, as our hopes
but short time since were buoyant and conf
ding if for us, then, indeed, ours shall be
day Of triumph and rejoicing.

St,lpendOus Frauds.

A succession of most stupendous frauds upon
the Treasury of the State of New York, have
just been brought TO light
The new Canal Policy, that the Wings, aid
ed by a few recreant Democrats, in direct and
palpable violation of the Constitution, adopted
at The last session Of the Legislature, provided
for the speedy enlargement of the Erie Canal
The allotment OF the contracts has just taken
place, and in the history of all the Internal lul-
provemcns of Iliinois-that history is black
enough too-there is nothing comparable to tie
rascality, robbery and perjury that is here de-
veloped- The law provides tor the lehing Of
the contracts to the io,oest 6idders." Mark how
that has been done.

eight other bidders, some as low as 1914, l0l.-

persons some as low as 1904 Mr.. Sackel

!, These are but tithc-a mere sample of tn
ex raord:nary developments that have bee
made butthey demonstrate clearly that IL,
spirit that overleaps constitutional barriers
the enactment OF any law needs the most after

they also explain why in the last election tn

TIE lRIsu ExoDUs.-Rev S. G.. Osborne
"a dstn yuishcd clergyman of the CAurch OF
Eng Handwriting to the London Times, ex-
presses the decided opinion that no action OF
the British Government, no inducement that
can now be offered by those interested in pre-
venting the dep9pulation of ireland, can check
the immense tide Of emigration that is, and has
been setting to the United States. To the wal
of the hcartless landlords against tenants, ant
to the famine, he attributes the Exodus. "Tht
starving were made houseless. and, with de
gree of barbarty only relieved by the direct in
terposition of law He adds
.sStill the process went on, and that on seal
no EnglIsllman can even now be brought to be
lieve. Then followed the pressure on the worl
houses and all the horrors; which; through tn
powerful efforts made to suppress them, hav
only yet very partially met the public eye
For instance, had the returns of the mortalit
in the Glare unions, laid on the table Of til
House Of Commons last session, and still in tn
printer hands, b, en- published, instead OF pun
posely kept back, you SIR, would see that IL ma

tY The Queen Of Spain added an unfadng
laurel to her administration, by the generous
conduct which she manifested towards those
unfortunate young men known the sCuban
prisoners She released them, and sent them
| away rejoicing. 1t is also believed that Gov.
Hunt, of New York, will pardon Lopez, a
young man and subject of Spain, now under
sentence Of death. This is exceedingly proper
| because the circumstances in both cases JUS
| tify the proceedings. But what does the Queen
| Of Enrlanc intend to do for the Irish exilcs
and patriots. VIII she permit them to linger
in Ign"ble imprisonment, or restore them to.
their families and friends How long must
o Brien, Meagher, and their glorious compeers
suffer Imprisonment. This question that
the world has right to ask, and we are in hope
that England will imifate the merciful example
| Of spin.
We have welcomed the TIungarians. Con
oress has received kossutl-and it now be
/ hooves that same Congress 10 earn additional
applause, hy procuring the release of the Irish
! patriots Their condition is peculiarly different
from that of the Cuban prisoners, for while they
sou,ht tn establish their native land on as proud
+ an emncnce as its neighbors-the "Filibusters
invaded foreign country, and labored to pro-
i woke the sedition of a people professedly peace
full and contented O'Brien fought for HIS
d home and his friends-Meagher plead for his
PROSTATE country and his starving conntrymen
and all, for national and humane reasons,
prayed for the emancipation Of Ireland.
1 The time has really and truly come when
some sssubstan,ial'' effort sou'd be made in be-
half of the Ir,h exile This it seems, is the
1 propitons period, and England has now the OPP
portunty of emuatng sublime example,
