THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.
MONDAY MORNING, July 10, 1884.
THE PUBLIC LANDS.
BY RlTCHIES L. PRYOR.


There has been unexpected and uneHampled
triumph vi good sense and sound policy i'll the
Senate of the United States. Tie Presidents veto
of the Lunatic Land Bill, is not ovenuled by a
two-thirds vote ugainst it, but, On the cou-
trary, is approved and sustained by decisive
majority n its favor! This is event to cxult
over. Here, indeed, is triumph OF the Adj
mnistration which signifies something, and upon
which VIC may honestly congratulate the country 1t
thought that the system of squandering the public
lands upon illcstmate and corrupt schemes OF PHI
lanhropy and plumber had got such control {" Con-
gress, that opposition could check 's wasteful ca
reer. Mr.. Pierce has dispelled this deluson; and he
may well feel an honest pride in the consciousness
tha, the cogcncy of his argument and the authority
of his name have overthrown and forever dcmol-
ishcd system of vicious legislation, which threat
enns the country with the disastrous conse.
quences.
But Mr.. Pierce should not pause or rest from the
good work. He has put hir hand TO the plough, and
we trust will run the urow out. Other schemes for
the plumber of the public domain, more formidable
and spccious perhaps than that which lie hs just laid
in the dust, will court his favor by tho promise OF
popular applause, nlny be will seek to ntmi.
date him by threats of rrtuliatory oppostion.-
But if he aspire To II lasting and solid fame, rs states
| man who would not shrink from any call of public
duty if he would 20 down TO posterity with the illus
strious fathers of the republic, we cOnure him to
spurn the dccctfu profier OF popular applause with
which artful dcmusogues seek to lure him from the
path of principle. Mr.. Pierce occupies critical pc.
soncrticul for his reputation and for the well
fare of the country Ii he choose he may approprl-
ate brilliant chapter in history to the record of
deeds which will associate him with Monroe and
| Jackson in the affection Of his countrymen,
rs the cuSsERvAToR OF THE CONSTITUTIONS.
He may make the term Of his Presidency all epoch to
which in after times men will recur with reverence
and admiration, for III example of duty noby dis
charged and OF patriotism illustrated, not by the gure
of military achievement, but by more solid
service to the country and TO mankind. President
Pierce has the power, by dash Of his penr
to crush forever the corrupt system Of legislation
which threatens to sweep away every barrier OF the
constitution and every vestigc of public virtue VIII

HISTORY OF GREECE.

The "li;storyof Greece" by William Smtth, L. l..
H., which the Messrs. Harper have republshed from
the original English edition, is incoparably the most
valuable book of its class The author hae written
several works OH classic mythology. geography, boc-
ruphv and archaeology, and is perfectly competent,
as well from rhetorical skill as from special learning,
TO the task of narrang the history of the Hellenic
race The spirit too which he brings to the lustra-
ton Of the character and institutions Of classic Greece
is commercially candid and liberal He displays no.
thing of the narrow bigotry and intolerant politics
which perverted the learning and vtated the labors
Of Milford; but writes rather in the republican vein
Of (;rotc.
In the martial exploits. in the political experiments,
in the philosophy in the literature and in the achieve
men;s in Art, which Grccnn story records and ilus
ratcs there ia undoubtedly more of instruction tor
the human miud thun be derived from the history
of any other single 1t was the aim OF the au-
thor to combine a these elements of interest and in
struction and to present them to the mind in the
smallest compass by the most lucid arrangement, aud
with such Embellishments Of rhetorical beauty Us
would increase the attractions without diminishing
the effect of the study. This he has accomplished
with admirable and unequalled success. Within u
single volume of convenient size, DR.. Smith has conf
pressed all the prominent incidents Of Greek history,
from the earlicst times to the Roman conquest. Of
Greek achievement in literature and art we have the
most abundant illustration; and in executing this por
ton of his tank the author displays the taste and sp
ri of man of genusnot the cold pedantry Of mere
scholar
This history is abridgement but it is neither i'll
complete nor imperfect. If nothing il told which
should be omitted, nothing is omitted which should
be told. insignificant details, which swell the bulk
of books without adding to their interest or inior-
nation, are rigdly excluded. In the narrative ev-
ervthing is brought out in proper relief. Subor-
dnate topics do not usurp dignity which is not
their due Matters of frstrnte Importance are
presented with proper fulness md enphass.-
Numerous plates, illustrating the manners and at
tanments in arts of the Greek people at different Pc
rods of their progress, are nterspersed through the
book and chronological and synchronstic tables are
given in the appendix To the man who wishes to re-
vve his recollection of Greek history, as well as to
the boy who is just beginning its study, we cordially
commend this most useful book.

AN advance payment, would meet the necessary
expenditure at once. We appeal, then, to our
friends in Orange, Alamance, Granville, Person,
and other neghboring counties, to aid us. by
little effort from each Of our present subscribers,
all that we require could bc accomplished IN a
few DAYS. The enlargement would make coi-
siderable addition to the amount of reading mat

usefulness and efficiency of the paper. Ii pro

EXTRACTS FROM
The Address Of Hon. Kenneth Rayner,
Delivered at the State Fair in Raleigh,
October, 1854.

+
One of the happiest results. to be
produced BY these associations, is the
social revolution to be effected by the
high position to which labor is to be
elevated ; by investing it in the public.
mind with that dignity to which it is
Justly entitled. So stubborn is the
prejudice of habit, so hard is it to ef-
face the association of past history, that
for centuries, manual labor has been
identified with degradation and yulga-
rity. In the military governments that
were established, from the very tneces-
sites of the times, the ruins Of the
Roman Empire, and out of which ori>
ginated the Feudal system, war was
the great occupation Of christendom.
Out of the Church, mind was directed
to its successful pursuit, either for con-
quest or defence. 1t was the only
passport to honor and power. the only
road to responsibility. For several
centuries, what are now known as " the
learned professions" occupied an hum
bic position in the social scale. Law,
medicine and divinity were the target;
at which literary humor and baronial
merriment vented their jibes and sar.
casms. The leech, the attorney ant
/ the priest, were associated with con
ceit. cunning, penuriousness, and thu
qualification Of sensual appetites in vel
Z stored larlers and well filled cellars
/ Merchandise was regarded as the call
ling Of the ignoblc and ayaricious. AM
although, in process Of time, -tkese puI
] suits rosein dignity and Importance

saving of life was regarded as NOR
