FREE HOMES.

They say the Senate is likely to pass the Home
stead bill and, though we receive the tidings with
much distrust, shall very gladly be brought 10 be-
lieve them Often in the worlds history the worst
rulers legislators have decreed enacted the most
wholesome measures-sometmes on the heel of their
most Objectionable deeds. And surely the Senate
ought to realize that act of special benefcence
and popularity its psrt could be timely
than now.
Next to the Maine Law, we regard the Homestead
bill as the great legislative antidote to the fearful
tendency of our time to a deluge of Pauperism. As
Population increases, lands rice in market or cash
value, and hence, while Products are enhanced in
price, the producer finds his employment and his
wages diminish, while his rent and food grow dearer.
Hence the weak and inefficient End the battle for
subsistence going continually harder and harder with
them; their seasons of unavoidable idleness grow
longer and longer; their savings in better times,
scsny at best, dwinde TO insignfcance and Society,
in the midst OF its Inventions discoveries improved
processes and increased production finds its helpless
aud bankrupt members continually increasing in
Der; gaunt Famine crouching and <skulking among
warehouses bursting with Grain ard Meat, and rags
and nskcdness budding and shiverng among the fac
tories which Cutting the markets of the world
with Cloth.
Now the Homestead bill will not of itself fllly
counterac this tendency of age to Social paradox;
but il viii be great step in the right direction 1t
will not give farm and independent home to every
cityvagrant village loafer; but it will diminish
these classes by drawing of the wlands the more
active, energetic, hopeful class who now stand be-
tween these end employment. Those whose need is
greatest will never go to Minnesota or Nebraska
and there hew out for themselves farms from the
unsubdued prairie forest but many of our present
woodsawyers steyedores, cartmen and laborers, who
find the ways of the City too hard for them will be
sllured by Free Lands to the West, and give place
here to those who need places well as almost every
thing else. Even though the Free Homes were bur

There is no doubt that good degree of anxiety exists
among shareholders at the prospect OF the rapid colo

it will not do to slunber in the premises. The

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.

We have already announced difficulty between the
management of the Erie Railroad and considerable
portion of the Engineers running their trains, who
have demanded of the Company modification of its
rules deliberately adopted for the guidance Of the En-
gneers in running their trains As the public are
deeply interested in the matter at issue we have
made inquiry and ascertaned the following facts:
There is no question Ofmoney involved in this diff
Guilty. The Engineers on this road are paid $50 per
month, which Is above the average paid By Railroads
in this State ard is satisfactory. Bat the General
Superintendent of the Erie Road sustained by the
President and Directors has adopted two rules for
the government of their Engineers in running their
trains which are in substance as follows
L. An Engineer approaching station ,rhere his train

THE LAST RErrcE OF CRIME.

An attempt is made to shield from punishment the
northern traitors who passed the Nebraska BILL on
the ground that it is after all more favorable to Free
dom than to Slavery. Why should the North be ex
cited or indignant say the apoogiss for these persons
at measure which opens TO Freedom all the territory
south OF the Missouri line , Why should men be held
I'D 10 execration who have made free States possible
where before there could be none but slave States
IA not this service TO reward and noble act to honor
rather than a fraud and an infamy TO desounce and
ayenge as the fanatics would have the world believe
With such sophistry as this the northern support
els of Pierce and Douglas think to delude the public
into scouiescence and no doubt we shall presently
fluid them claiming the votes OF northern treemen Tor
having done so much to extend the blessings of liberty
and eurtai the boundaries of the slave power. Ii is
hardly necessary say that their pretense is utterly
false The Nebraska bill admits Slavery into an i'm
mense territory where its pollutiDg step was prohib-
tied before but gires nothing to Freedom IN er-
change. Free States might have been formed south
of the Missouri line. before the passage of the bill,
as well as since All that necessary then was
TO settle the country with freemen in such prepon
derance as to secure the formation of free consti
tutions. and nothing more is necessary now.
The Compromise act of 1870 did not exclude
Freedom below the line of SO 30, but simply per-
mtted Slavery it, when States came to be organized
there il should be found predominant among the
people. The country was Just as open to be occupied
and held by free settlers, and converted into free
States under that Compromise since the political
felony by which it has been abrogated The bill does
not facilitate the process whit. Such result could
be attained quite easily under that act as with the
pro-slavery provisions and the clauses hostile to
popular sovereignty of the present BILL
No, Freedom nothing to the authors and
sbettors of this great wrong Their sole object was
10 propate southern favor and to the support
of the slave power. and their work has been thor
oughly and shrewdly done. Not even by accident or
oversight lie any advantage left for Liberty in their
bill. 1t is all blackness without single CLEAN OF
light a desert without spot of yerdure, crime that
can show no redeeming point. They have, we trust
oyerreached themselves as villains large and small
are wont to do: but il is no merit of theirs. They
have reused spirit of resistance unprecedented In
our politics. and have called into activity power
that of AssocatOn-which would hardly have come
up to the work of rescuDg the southern territory from
Slavery by planting there colonies of reelnen but for
their arrogant wickedness Their act may thus prove
useful IN the end as has often been the with great
crimes before But let us hear more of this lying
pretense that they have opened to Freedom an inch
of land from which it was before shut out.
