Postmaster at salem.

a friend called in to our office vester-
day, stating that Mr.. Burgess was not re-
moved on political grounds-that to his
personal knowledge Mr., Hodges is an IN
ti-Nebraslla man. He says the facts arc
these:-Mr. johnson Emerson. agent Of
John Frink. presented Mr.. Burgess an
order from the Government, for what
moneys were in his hands. Mr.. Burgess
declined to pay over, on the ground that
he did not know Mr.. Emerson. or that
he was an agent Of Mr.. Frinll. Mr. EN-
erson returned to the tavern, and said
publicly it would be the last time Mr.
Burgess would have the opportunity to
do SO. And Mr.. Burgess was according
" removed on the representations of Mr..
Emerson. Our friend, adds, however. that
Mr.. Burgess did, finally, pay over the
moneys to Mr.. Emerson, before he left
the pla.e.
We state this on the authority of our
friend, because we wish to do justice TO
all concerned. But it will be remember
ed that all the friends and ncighbors of
Mr.. Burgess desired his appointment, and
it was an extraordinary long time before
they could get it-hc not wanting it only
to accommodate them. And now lie is
removed, because an agent Of John Fink,
a simple mail contractor, is offend, /, be-
cause Mr.. Burgess hesltated about his
identity, and an Administration Democrat
is appointed in his PLACED.

It appears that bill to graduate the
price Of the public lands has passed Con-
gress, being the one, probably, which was
substituted for the Homestead Bill. and
which has been mistaken fer that The
Washington Union gives the following
synopsis Of its provisions:
"Thc scale of graduation enacted by
the law is as follows: All lands which
have been in market for ten years or up
ward shall be subject to entry at one dol
lar per acre; fifteen Years and upward, at
seventy-tivc cents; twenty wears and up
ward, at fifty cents; twenty-five wears
and upwards, at p cents and thirty
years and upward, at twelve and a hall
cents per acre. Upon every reduction
the occupant and settler to have the right
eff prcemption at such graduation prices
until within thirty days preceding the
next graduation; but not to interfere
with any right which has heretofore ac-
crued to actual settlers ANY person APP
plying to enter any of the aforesaid lands
is required TO make affidavit that he or
Siht tiI((iS tIIC SAINT Ibi HIS vi itCI ON III
use, and for the purpose Of actual settle
ment and cultivation, or for the use of an
adjoining farm owned or occupied by him
or herself and that, together with such
entry, he or she has not acquired from
the United States under the provisions OF
this act more than three hundred and
twenty acres"
This will reduce the price Of lands i'll
this region of country but trife, and
the whole thing, we think, is considera-
bly, worse than nothing. As long as the
Limitation and Homestead principle is
not incorporated into the act, the reduc-
ton of the price viii tend more to the
advantage Of spectators, than others.
In this bill it is only necessary for a
Spectator to furnish some one else the
money. and he can get Indirectly, all the
land in the country.
We think there are but few lands I'M
sold in this State or the adjoining States
or territories, which have been in market
ten years. SO the bill has as yet, but
little practical Importance, in any respect
to us.
