g Mr.. Benefits land distribution bill which
passed the House of Representatives last winter
has not yet been taken up in the Senate. and
there appears to be but little probability that it
will be finally disposed of at the present session.
The protracted and worthless debate on our for
eign relations has left very little time for the
consideration of this or any other subject. 1t is
some consolation to know however, that if Mr..
Benefits bill shall be laid the table until next
December the Homestead bill and its kindred
schemes of plumber will probably share the same
fate.
We have looked to the action of Con-
gress Mr.. Benefits proposition with deep
interest believing that it would be decs-
i've of the question, whether or not the new
States are to be allowed a monopoly of the pub
lie lands We hoped to witness some recogni-
tion, however, faint and imperfect the part
OF Congress, OF what was regarded as an
indisputable political truth, viz that the public
domain is the common property of all the States
and should be administered as fund for their
common benefit. The legislation of Congress
fora number of years has been in fragrant dis
regard of this principle. Eighty millions of acres
of the public lands have been granted away to
the new States for local purposes, whilst not one
of the older members of the confederacy has
received single acre. This is the way in which
Congress is now disposing of the common pro-
perry of the nation, and it is time that we should
know whether this is to be the fixed policy Of
the Federal Government, and whether the rights
of the old States are to be ignored for all time
to come. The thirty millions of acres allotted to
the old States under the provisions of Mr..
Benefits bill form but small part, it is trne. of
what they justly entitled to receive, neverthe-
less we should have just cause to congratulate
ourselves on getting something like an approx
nation to JUS ice in these plundering days. The
passage of Mr.. Benefits bill would amount to
recognition of our rights in the public domain
and an acknowledgment on the part Of Congress.
that we should be allowed to participate ia its
benefits. This, strange as it may appear would
be no insignificant triumph for the old States, for
though there was a time when no sane man
would have ventuled to question their rights in
this matter. yet that day has long since passed
away. So frequently and SO fagrantly have
these rights been violated, and little trouble
have we taken to vindicate them that they have
fallen. as it were, into desuetude. The new
States on the other hand have grown bolder and
holder at each successive inroad on rights and
property, and now boldly proclaim that the pub
lie lands belong exclusively to the States in which
they lie, and should be coded to them at an early
day without condition or reservation. These
States will soon have the power to enforce their
unprincipIed claim, and unless establish now
whilst we may, some fair principle of distri-
BUTTON we shall ultimately be constrained to &C.
quiesce in their rapacious demads.

MAD. ANNA BISHOPS CONCERT.

L..
The first concert of this lady in the African
Church Thursday evening, passed off admirably.
Ii was The concert of the season-aIl the yocalists
being in fine voice and M. Boscha playing with
Ills usual brilliancy and taste.
This evening, Mad. Bishop gives her last con-
cert In this city. The programme abounds in
rich gems from the most popular operas, together
With several favorite English, Irish and Scotch
ballads. Part Sd comprises the whole of the
second act of the famous opera of "Linda of Cha
mount" and part 18th embraces gems from the
opera OF "Elisr D. Amour'-T'he Love Spell.-
Taken altogether, we question whether more
select or attractive concert has ever been pre-
sentsd to the patronage of the lovers of delicious
music in this city. Mad. Anna Bishop sang
Thursday evening with her accustomed bril-
liancy and effect, eliciting the warmest plaudts:
and we fell satisfied that those who hear her to-
night, will long remember her farewell con-

General Pierce in letter friend in this city, stat es
unequivocay that his cabinet will be formed before he
leaves Concord and that no influence which may be ex.

difficulty of adhering to a determination of this Kind

be inferred when s remembered that Presidents Jack
