The Erie Marauders.

The Forest City Democrat, of the 10th
inst, says:-"Y esterday, missiles were hurl-
ed at the cars within the bounds Of Erie. One
passed through window, grazing the head
of lady; had it hit her, it would have killed
her. We learn, also, that on Wednesday night
some half dozen ties were struck inthe cat
tie guard, put there for the purpose of upset
ting the engine and ears. Is this villainy to
escape unpublished! Arewe, East and West
to submit to this murderous violence?
"In consequence of this brutal and lawless
spirit, no cars left Cleveland for Buffalo last
evening, the Superintendent wisely concluding
that it was not safe to risk the lives of pas
sengers by a night travel amid scoundrels."
EgIf ever the citizens of any place deserved
to be Gagged, the Erians do. They are NOR

l have trustworthy information from New
Orleans to the effect that a powerful tilibus-
ter expedition is preparing against Cuba, and
will sail sometime before the middle of Feb
ruary 1t is intended that the entire force
shall consist Of some four thousand men, led
by officers of tried skill and bravery, with a
general who had gained laurelS in Mexico at
their head. The enlistments are proceeding
with every effort to keep the matter strictly
private. Each man is subjected to the scru-
tiny of the Order of the Lone Star before be-
ing admitted, and is required to take an oath
not to diyulge the secret. 1t is believed that
at least one member of the Cabinet is we'll
aware of the movement. While the bulk Of
the expedition will sail from New Orleans
other cities will send forth their quota to the
army of Manifest destiny. 1t is expected
that the Creoes of Cuba will not leave these
heroes in the lurch as they did those Of Lopez
but will rise 10 support tLem ndachieye their
own emancipation.
am able also to assure you that the real
patriots of Cuba do not share the negro-dri-
wing aspirations of orr Southern filibusters,
bat ardei tly look forward to the day when
Slavery will cease to exist on the island.

To- The Democrat says, the Treasurer was
instructed by the Board of Supervisors, TO give
the printing of the tax list to the lowest bidder
The resolution of the board is as follows Sc Re
soled, That the county printing be let to the low
est bidder" Here is no specific instruction TO the
treasurer, more than TO any other county officer.
There different kinds OF county printing: some
kinds the price is fixed by law, and some not. The
printing of the tax list is fixed by law. If the res
olution reaches all sorts of printing, which the
county is required to pay for-such as the price is
fixed by law, and such as is not then the Clerk
of Supervisors Sheriff and other county officers,
arc includ d. The clerk orders the printing for
the redemption oflands the sheriff orders the print
ing of general special and judicial election notices
The charges for none Of this kind of printing is
more definitely fixed by law than the printing of
tax lists. But if it be eontended that all county
officers included in the instructions, and if this
is demanded, then tie question naturally arises,
whether a resolution of the Board can contravcnc
or repeal the statutes of the state.
The Democrats statement, that the county was
put to extra expense" because the printing of the
list was not let to the lowest bidder is not cor
rect The fee for printing is by law required to be
charged upon each delnqent lot advertised, wheth-
or the printer gets it or not.

az~An abstract Of the report of the Sec

EE- An abstract of the report of the Sec
rotary of the Interior will be found on the
outside of our paper, and will no doubt re-
ceive its due share of consideration. The
Secretary may be a very profound citizen, but
it does not so seem to us. If we understand
him, he thinks the present mode of disposing
Of the public lands most excellent one; the
government, he says, instead of losing, as some
suppose, has made money out of the system
Perhaps it has, butthat the people, who are the
government, would have made twice the mo-
ney out of a system of free lands to the land
less we have not shadow Of doubt. The Sec
rotary also fayors grants Of lands for improve
ment purposes, for reasons which lie gives.
He seems to think the main benefit derived
from the rapid settlement of the land is in the
amount of money which finds its way into the
United States Treasury. We think homes
for the homeless, and the development of the
wealth of the soil, are more important. A
system of free lands would induce much more
rapid settlement than the mode proposed by
the Secretary, and would also favor the con
struction of improvements to quite as great a
degree. We should like to hear some good
reason given for having compelled those who
have opened the Wilderness i'll search Of homes
who have broken up and subdued thestub-
born earth--wlio have enlarged our bounda-
ries and added to our wealth and greatness,
to pay nifty millions of profit into the nation
al treasury. Does any person believe that
this money is as well in the pockets Of Uncle
Sam as in those of the settlers on the public
lands2 Our opinion is that the wealth of the
nation is 100 per cent greater with the money
in the pockets of the. people than the same
amount in the National Treasury If such
be the case, manifestly the Secretary's recon-
mendation is not the best one for the general
interests; and manifestly too, public improve
ments, education, and all valuable interests,
will be better advanced by system which
leaves money in the pockets of the people, IA
Their than by any possible system which takes
it out.

THE HOUSE AND THE RAILRoAD.-On
the 18th inst. Mr.. Washburn of Illinois Of
fered the following, which was laid on the Ia.
bic by vote of lis to IA:
@That as incidental to and indispensable
for the exercise of the powers conferred by the
Constitution upon the Congress of the United
States to provide for the common defense and
general welfare is the power to construct rail
roads through the Territories of the United
States, for the purpose of facilitating the
transportations of mails and munitions of
war.
On the same day Mr.. Yates, also of this
State, offered the following resolution which
was laid on the table by 1l9 to 68.
Whereas, the construction of railroad
through the territories of the United States
is imperiously demanded for the safe and ra-
pid transportation of mails, munitions of war,
public money, and whereas, the people are
favorable to the construction of such a road
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, regar-
ding it in a political, financial and social as
pect, and whereas such road is necessary to
unite the extremes of the Union, therefore,
Res0lved, That it is the duty of this Con
gress as soon as it can be done, from the re-
ports of the surveys ordered last Congress as
to the best practical route, to pass an act for
the early commencement and speedy COM
pletion of such route
