CONGRESS SIGNAL,

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.

The bill from the House of Representatives, to grant homestead of one hundred and sixty acres of the public lands to actual settlers, was read first and second time by its tite
 Mir. Walker 1 move that 1t be referred to the committee on public lands.
 >. Mir. JOHNSON. Irise MT. President, mere y for the purpose of calling the particular at tentlonof the Senate to declaration which has been made by the distinguished Senator from Michigan. It IS a declaration in which most heartily concur, and which 1 rejoice to hear on this floor from such a quarter. It is declara- ton, the clear practical good sense of which will, trust, impress 1t upon this body, as the standing of the distinguished gentleman who made 1t will impress it upon the minds of the people of the county. 1 refer to the declara- ton, that the time has come when the govern ment should look no longer to the public lands as source of revenue. It Is to those words emphatically, that l wish to call the attention of the Senate. 1 know that in ourown western States, where we have felt the burdens of the system ot land ownership by the general oo- vernment, those words will be hailed proudly, and we shall be happy to see them carried into effect by the Senate and House of Representa- tlves, and become the law of the land.
 Sir, there IS not new State which has not labored under great disadvantages in conse- quence of the burden of the system of own- ership by the general government. It has al- ways been the policy of every independent State ln the world, by its legislation. to endea- vor to keep within its limits all the circulating medium which its people, be their industry and expectations, may acquire. But the effect of this system of ownership is to draw away the means of the people of the new States. Tbe State which l have the honor to represent here, small as she is in point of population-having now only about two hundred and ten thousand people within her borders, according to the last census-has paid into the Treasury of the Uni ted States millions of dollars. The same is true in reference to the other land States.- When man comes to settle among us, be is compelled to pay his money into the Treasury in order to get spot on which to live; and the money which is thus paid by the settlers is car rled out of the State and expended everywhere else. There is no industrious man in the State who makes anything to export but is compelled to pay this government for land to cultivate Thus it is that our means are paid over to the land offices, and the money which we contri- bute leaves our State, and is expended in the vast and various schemes which are got up for the protection of your commerce and the ad- vancement ofIyour local interests along the sea- board.

THOMAS H. BENToN's BooK.-We have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jamaes the very clever agent of this work for Arkansas He is now stopping at the Anthony House in this city and will remain among us for several days taking subscriptions for the 1st volume. Price S2 50.
 To commend the book of Col. Benton or tc advise the reading public to subscribe for it. would be in us work of superrerogation. Ii is book that has been long anxiously expect. ed by the public and one that will be sought after and read with the greatest avidity by the whole world. The fame of the writer, his eminence as statesman and his long and dis. tinguished career in the U. s. Senate, the mos, august assembly in the world, give character to the work, the first volume of which is now offered to the public, that will procure for it g very wide spread circulation.
 The book is to be delivered to the agents upon the 20th of the present month, and as soon thereafter as it will take to deliver it il his State, it will be placed in the hands of the subscribers.

For the True Democrat


 To my great surprise, saw it announced in the True Democrat of last week, that E. H. English had been removed from the office of Reporter to the Supreme Court. Having SUD- posed heretofore that Judge English was fa- vorite with the Court, 1 was naturally led to in- quire the cause of this to me, strange move ment.
 Itappears that, at the last term of the Court, the Judges made an order that the "Reports' should be termed Arkansas Reports" instead of "English's Reports" This was done, un- derstand, for the sake of uniformity Pike, unambtious simpleton! having called the five volumes published by him Arkansas Re- ports," not dreaming that his name would de- scend to posterity on the Jrail binding of the Reports.
 The Judges gave no reason for dismissing Judge English but it was supposed that it was for disobedience, or rather an evasion of the order above named that he was so unceremo- niously elected from office. For the next vo- lume of Reports came out was Sth English 13 Arkansas Repors), and thus the Judge lost a snug little office, and his ride to posterty on the back of Mr-J acobis Binding. X.

MR. EDITOR-


 Allow me, through your paper, to congratulate the people upon the return "once more agam' of the Auditor to the capitol, and 1 hope, to his official duties.
 W hen his printing office was destroyed by the fire last February, every one thought that until he could replace it, the laborS of the Au- ditor's office would be performed.
 But how vain such expectations! The Cap tain, so far from taking advantage of his release from his editorial duties to devote his salaried time" to the duties of the people, seems to re- gard 1t as an occasion for recreation and plea sure excursions. Gov. E. N. Conway was Au- ditor of Arkansas for fourteen years, and dur ing that time was scarcely ever absent from his office, and but once or twice beyond the limits of this city. He had but few clerks and was always at work in his office. But new sys- tenn has now been introduced and instead of the Auditor attending personally to his duties he has become mere overseer. of clerks who are paid by the State to perform his duties The Auditor himself has become politician and devotes his time to editinga newspaper and influencing and controlling elections. The du- ties of the Auditors office are of minor conse- quence. The present season is or should be a busy one in that office. Sherifs come up to settle and internal improvement commissioners to draw their funds, and yet they could not do 1t legally until the return of the Auditor. How has this business been transacted during his ab- sence? Was it transacted at all, or did men after coming here find themselves compelled to leave without accomplishing their business?- More again. "A TAx-PAYER."

CE We call attention to an editorial from the Washington Telegraph and letter from RoBr. w. JOHNSON, on our first page, upon the sub- ject of the removal of the raft in Red river.
 The subject is an important one to the peo- pie living above the raft, and it is to be hoped that they will take deep interest in the mat ter and profit by the suggestions offered in this correspondence. Itis high time that something was done in this behalf and if those interested will only take the initiatory step, our delega- ton may be able to effect the entire removal of the raft

GF By letters received from Col. Harley, agent of the Cairo and Fulton railroad compa- ny, on the nothern division, we learn that he is making very encouraging additions to the stock subscription.
 Col H. has been day or two with the en- gineers, who are progressing rapidly since they crossed White river He thinks they will reach the Missouri line about the middle of May next The people generally in that quar- ter are in favor of the road, and will eventual ly contribute literally by taking stock.
 In South Arkansas we are informed the indi- cations are equally favorable. Many who had heretofore held back, are now adding their names to the stock books and may be classed with the warmest friends of the road.

OT We are credibly informed that promi- nent individuals in various portions of the coun- try have been induced to believe that the N. Y. Paclflc R.R. Co. have control of the Cairo and Fulton railroad. This we are requested to state IS a mistake-the Cairo and Fulton company having had no proposition of any character from that company, have of course entered into no arrangement with it.
 This explanation is made with the view to correct any erroneous impression that may exist upon this subject.

The Act Granting Pre-emptiOn Right t< Settlers within Railroad Reservations.

/ The following is the law recently enacted for the relief of settlers upon railroad lands.
 Those of our citizens to whom it offers relief we advise to avail themselves immedately.- As it is uncertain when the order of reservation may be removed, and as the provisions of the bill are of no force after the lands are again thrown open to sale, delay might prove fa- tai. Here is the bill:
 AN ACT for the relief of settlers on lands
 reserved for railroad purposes.
 Be 1t enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of Ameri- ca, In Congress assembled: That every settler on public lands which have been or may be withdrawn from market in consequence of pro- posed railroads, and who had settled thereon prior to such withdrawal shall be entitled to pre-emption, at the ordinary minimum, to the lands settled on and cultivated by them: pro- vided they shall prove up their rights according to such rules and regulations as may be pre- scribed by the Secretary of the Interior, and pav for the same before the day that may be fixed by the Presidents proclamation for the restora- tion of said lands to market.
