THE BROADWAY .CALAMIrY.-The jury in
the Broadway calamity case brought in their
verdict ON the l4th inst. In it they say that
''the whole building was, in our estimation;
complete death trap, and could not have
been more insecure and dangerous if it had
been constructed purposely for the destruction
of human life. 1t was moreover deceptive
in appearance; and on that account diaboli-
cally dangerous in case of fire." The jury re-

portuny OF Witnessing the practical operation Of the
new machinery, and Of hearing my explanation OF
the important changes that have been made in regard
to that motive power, which year ago heraldcd

in manner altogether unprecedented in the history
of mechanical progress.
AS soon as the ship and machinery are again in

forming the agreeable task Of rendering the proposed
accom-: Of the invention. In the mean time, have
to state that, when the noble ship went down, the
motive power had proved compldely successful. The

night the boy was aroused by his sister, who
was sleeping close by him, and told that some
body was in the house and had gone up stairs.
On going into the passage way he found the
door open, and told his sister to go to the stair
case and give the alarm, he remaining in the
passage with the gun. She did so and Palmer
came running down, and on reaching the door
the boy gave him the load of buck shot, which
brought him to the ground. Palmer is serious

The Application Of the Presidents
Veto to the Homestead Bill.

Considerable discussion has been already
had in the Senate of the United States rela-
tive to the principles contained in the message
of President PIERCE, vctOing Miss DIx's In
sane Land Grant Bill. There is strong dis
position to sustain the President but the
friends of the Homestead Bill object to the
idea of applying the principles of the message
to their favorite measure. We do not see how
the President can escape such application. If
the Veto means anything, its application must
be made to all improvident grants of the pub
lie domain The Precedent in his annual mes
sage, as well as in this, places the government
in the situation of a landowner, who manages
and improves his estate in prudent manner.
The government should encourage roads
through it, by granting alternate sections, be-
cause it will double or quadruple the value of
the balance and bring it more readily into sale
and settlement.
Granting lands to the lazy landless, can nev-
er enhance the value of the public domain
No man is worth having in new country,
who lacks the energy to gather together the
small pittance now. demanded by the govern
mcnt for its public lands. There may he ex-
ceptions, occasioned by peculiar and continu.
cd misfortuncs, but the rule in general will
hold good. Such course would bring upon
the frontiers, where we want live, active work
crs, the curse of an idle population, willing to
declare themselves paupcrs, and always to re-
main SO. For, the able bodied man who would
take Il grant of land under the provisions of
the contemplated Homestead Bill, when an
acre costs no more than the price of dozen
tipplcs, has "shiftless," lazy" "pauper-by-na-
ture" stamped on him as irremovably as if
placed there by precept of fore-ordinatiOn.-
We want no such men here, to act as clogs
and hindrances to the development of our glo-
riOus Northwest. Their presence would be all
insult to our fruitful, generous soil.
Oregon furnishes IN example Of the impoli-
cy OF granting lands to the lazy landlcss. The
grants made by government to settlers in that
Territory, were for large quantities, varying
according to the size of families, the smallest
being half section, or three hundred and twe,.-
ty acres. These grants are now being rapidly
thrown up, the settlers prelerring to rclinquisll
their claims rather than remain thereon the
term OF years required in order to get title il,
fec.
We infer from the tone of President PIERCE
admirable message to which We have alluded
that the Homestead Bill will meet with no "a
vor al his hands He is strict constructions
isl; and if that bill is worked through Con
grcss, we Loo; to him to save us from the curse
which would follow its enactment as law OF
