NOT TIE HOMESTEAD BILL.

The PierceVirginia substitute for the Homestead
bllpassed the Senate yesterday
80 to H. We presume the Hsuse will concur, though
that is not certain. The President ID already relieved
from his dilemma, though the House should let
the bill drops he will no longer be obliged either to
sign or veto bill making the Public Lands free to
actual settlers. Instead of this we have hybrid
Graduation Presumption bill-One which, while it does
not recognize give effect to the Right OF Man to
Land yet will pretty essentially destroy the Revenue
from Public Lands Thus We have all that was OBJ
jectionable in whole measure without the good of
even half one
Still, we do not advise the defeat of this bill. If
We saw u prospect of securing better next
sion, sext Congress, we should say let it perish
But Hunkerized as the Senate is and seems likely
for time to remain it may be better to take even
such Land bill this than get nothing 1t will at
least for time enable settlers b locate quarter sec
lions of the Public Lands easier terms than have
hitherto been profered while it affords facility
for the direct and immediate acquisition of these
Lands by spectators. On the whole, our present
impression is that this is better than nothing, and
may as well be taken.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. GEYER introduced
bill fixing the time for the meeting of the next Con-
gress on the first Monday of November next-laid on
the table. The consideration of the Homestead bill
was then resumed. The title OF the bill was so
amended as to read, "A bill to reduce and graduate
the price of the public lands to purchasers and ac-
"tual settlers and TO grant presumption privileges in
" certain cares, and for other purposes" The bill
was then passed by vote of Yeas &C. Nays IL. The
Texas Debt bill was then taken up and passed by
vote of Yeas q, Nays 20. The Senate then held
short Executive session, and when the doors were
again opened five bills were passed. Adjourned.
In the House of Representatives the private calen-
dar was taken up, and fifteen bills were passed.

of Mr. Bayly of Virginia to investigate certain charges
made against him by Mr.. b. j. Green. Mr.. Green
charges that Mr. Bayly when Chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means of the XXXlst Con-
gress and Chairman of the Committee of Foreign
affairs of the XXXIId Congress, used improper
means to secure the passage of bills paying indemnity
to Mexico, with the knowledge that the money ap-
propriated would go to Mr.. COrcoran, banker, and
others; and with the knowledge that near half
million of dollars would be lost to the United States

MODERN IMPROVEMENTS.

In all history and mythology the lash has been con-
sidered an instrument of torture, only submitted 10
by the helpless despair of the victim One of the
greatest evidences Of an improved sense Of human
courtesy and genteness is the disuse into which the
lash has fallen where the Caucasian is the victim.
When DR.. johnson was asked how he became so good
classical Scholar he replied, Sir, it was fogged
into me :" and the system of foggng and horsng in
English schools only exhibited the brutalites which
rendered the fctiOns of Roderick Random and Pere-
CRIME Pickle the reflex of simple reality. So too,
the unutterable cruelties aboard ship were evil
dences of the intense bsrbarisms which existed in
Christian countries, proving them in feroeOus brutal
ity not unworthy of Pagan rulers. Of late years,
however better sentiment has prevailed in Saxon
dom. Since an English soldier died under the lashes
ordered by Col. White, army reforms have taken
place in England. The martinez brutates too, of
our service are cut down. So in our Navy the lash
has been abolished, and our schools offer no parallel
to Doiheboys Hall. There is one lingering resource
for barbsriy in this country, found in our chivaly
the impersonaton Of the highborn aristo rat" sus-
tanning the system and crying out for its extension
snd perpetuity The slave is beyond and beneath the
reach of the law which protects soldiers sailors and
pupils from the cruelties which, until very few

constituents, while they were all the time winlius
across the board and causing it to be understood Al
the White House, that they acted uuler cpnstrsipt
and would do the measure Ike least possible harm.
Rather let two open and active Douglasites be re-
turned than one OF this sort.

receive no dictation-but We simply indicate VIA,
seems TO us right and expedicnt. Some of these
Members may not be specially efficient; yet The gene
raj rule is unquestioned, that reelected Me can
exert more influence than new one, and We want to
see the North very strong in the next House Others
dissent from our views on this point as they have
perfect right to do; but they have right to mlsep

Certainly. Swarms come out of the full hives, not
the empty ones. The TRIBUNE encourages Free
Thought and Free Speech, while The Post IS all for
"regularity" and party usages," and for keeping
the party in its locality conveniently small so that
there may be fewer competitors for the Offices Hence
while THE TRIBUNE's party is largely ascendant in

1t strikes that all those churches IN the South

BY reference to a teegraphc dispatch from Buff
falo it will be seen that the inhabitants of that City
were thrown into state of the most intense excite
ment, yesterday, owing to rumors that the cholera
was raging in the poorhOuse at that place. In con-
sequence of these rumors large party of physicians
and citizens repaired to that establishment and when
they arrived they found that fifteen insane persons
and seven others had died of cholera within the pre-
ceeding twenty four hours and that four were then
in collapsed state. The scurvy was also found
raging and several deaths from actual starvation had
taken place, particularly among children. Every
thing connected with the establishment found in
a most hOrrid and filthy condition.
