AZURE, through the instrun- n'ality Of the Clerk
Of he House, the notorious F .rnev, and Ste
v-ns OF Michigan. Other parli. beyond the
two latter, are imp icated in he criiDinaliiy Of
the Transaction. Among these, suspicion
points strongly toward Representative from
your State, Il n individual number of banking
firm in State adj rininy, and also TO an United

marked, but, no matter what may be said, the

What share he was II have of the profits of

his pay, had the fraud succeeded, would not
have been small. Protected by the President,
he will laugh a, any attempt to punish him for
his rascality. Corruption stalks abroad here,
unabashed. or the corrupt, Forney is the

member at the head, is an able one, and will
do all that is possible but they cannot guard

THE SENATE LAND BILL.

The more we reflect upon the land bill VIII CHI
has recently passed the Senate of the Uuted
States, the h.ore We are impressed with the
importance of its enactment into law. In all
respects it is a measure of great merit 1t set
IL a question which has occasioned vast trou =
bic TO Congress and to the people iQr many
years. Our public domain has been tor long
period, and continues to be, fr li,ful source OF
jealousy between the States, growing out Of
the extravagant and often partial, legislation
into which it has tempted Congress Second
only to the slavery question IN the heartburDing
and combinations 10 which it has given rise,
may justly be rated this subject Of The public
lands. All kinds Of plans have been attempted
to remove it from Congress; but all have failed
because in many aspects they did not fully
comprehend and prov de tor the great in erests
OF the people in all the States, old aud ".

of passing into law a neasur. which, in our
opinion, most ga saciously uni'es all the ele-
