The Public Lands.

What should be done with the public lands
is a question which Nc often hear asked by the
enquiring citizen, and we are somewhat sur
prised that the question hasnot more extensive
" engaged the attention Of our leading pulltl-
clans ofboth parties. All, We believe, admit
that the citizens of all the States have an equal
interest in the lands or their proceeds, but par.
ties differ as TO the best method Of dsposlng OF
them for the common benefit Of the owners
Once the Democratic party proiessed 10 advo-
cate the appropriation Of their proceeds AZ any
orher fund or revenue: Now 1t IS somewhat
difficult TO determine the policy OF that party
upon this question. Oflare II has become the
policy the Democratic Congress To appro-
prlato these lands for the benefit Of colPora-
inns, thus dvcsting them from their original
purpose, and equandeIing them upon lew
pap.fed and crammed corporations nthe new
States TO the exclusion of the old States who
have at lcaa an equal interest in them accord
ng to the acknowIed OF all parties.
Is this to be our future policy IS the question !
Are we to stand ramely by aud witness the
saaanderment Of the public domain, large

Government by Maryland and Virginia, and

General Scott To the Presidency. were con.
sidered, in strong, as forcible, and as ef
feclive speech, as we have listened to dudng

Mr. Booker's reply was not so much n

General Government to make improvements,

CrBA AND THE UNITED STATES - IHc SI0oP-
Of Var Cgane mdcrcd 10 Uarapa.- We learn
from the New York Times of yesterday that
orders we're received from the Navy Depart
ment at Washington on Saturday nignt, direct
ing the soop.of-war Cyane G. \. Ho'Ins'
Commander, to prepare Immediately for sea,
and 10 sail for Havana at the earliest moment
possible As the Cyane had Just arrived from
Norfolk, she was ready for sea, and acco ding
ly took her departure on Sunday morning
She was towed outside the Hook, in order TO
get a far breeze, and is now on her way to
Cuba 1t is also reported that the L. States
steam frigatc Mississippi has been ordered to
follow the Cyane with all dispatch
The object of this movement, although moth
ing certain can be known in regard to II, can
not be difficult Of conjecture. The treatment
TO which American vessels are now syslemati-
caly subjected by the Spanish authorities Of
Cuba, renders indispensable the presence of a
strong naval force for their protection. The
Times says:
1--WE take it for granted that the Commanders
ofthese vessels will beinstructed to avoid every
thing which can give the Spanish authorities
the slightest ground Of just complaint. bit at
the same time to resist and repeI, at every haz-
ard, and by all needin measures every attempt
TO exercise undue authority over vessels of the
United States, or to infringe in any way the
rights and privileges to which American citi-

J. P. R. BUREAU, in the SOD year
of his age. The deceased was one of
the first party Of French emigrants that
settled in GalIipolis in the year 1890.
He left Paris, of which city he was a
native, while a mere youth, about nine.
teen years of age, escaping the mad
confusion into which his native land
was rapidly plunging. To write a
sketch of his life would be to write the
history of the French settlement of Gal
lipolis and the maturer age of our vii.
lage. He represented for several years
this district in the Senate and House of
the General Assembly in the early his.
tory of the State. His was emphatical.
ly a life of activity and business till

under the pressure of more than four
score, he has fallen, crowned with hon.

ner unaccountable TO him, as no fire
had been had in the apartment for
a long period, nor were lights burn
ing at the time. The loss OF books
is about $4,000 volumes. 10000
volumes were saved in the adjoining

so that a like calamity may be aver
ted in future.
Mr.. Stanton, Of KY, by unani-
nous consent, introduced a resolu-
ton instructing the joint committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds
to inquire into the origin of the fire,
and whether it was in consequence
of the officers OF the government,
or of persons of either or both
Houses Of Congress; whether the
fire was caused BY the furnaces or
fiues OF by an incendiary. and also as
to the extent OF the injury TO the
building and the best mode of recon-
structing the library room so as TO
guard against similar distinctions in
future. Mr.. Stanton also introdu-
ced bill, which was passed, making
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
payment of expenses incurred in the
extinguishment OF the late fire in the
