The LAND REFoRMERs TURNED UP AGAIN.
We have received circular setting forth the
important fact that the tenth National Indus
trial Congress" will assemble at Cleveland, Ohio,
in June Females may sit in this Congress,
which has had ten annual sessions without doing
any great harm or good to ybodv. It's main
object is any thing but industrial, as its leaders
advocate the distribution Of the public lands,
free to all, without money and without labor
Such schemes always look ridiculous by the
side of facts and figures. Congress has passed
laws giving almost every body quarter SIC.
ton of land. What becomes of it? Do the
old soldiers" their widows or minor chill
dren, locate or settle on it? Nothing of the
sort. It is sold for fifty cents an acre, and
passes into the hands of the very spectators
whom the circular before US go bitterly ana
thematises. What is got without labor is little
thought Of and if the views of the vote your
self-a farm party Gf there is such party
now were to be carried out, it would be nice
thing for John Thompson and other Wallstrest
Spectators in land-warrants, but Of no special
advantage to any body else. Indeed, we are
not SO sure that the whole affair is not gotten
up by the land SPECTATORS at the West.

suffering FOX several years past from throat
affection, which all the medical remedies that
we had formerly applied failed to cure. We
can truly say that we have found more relief
and greater hope Of ultimately getting rid Of
the malady from DR.. Hunters mode OF treat
mept than from that Of any other medical man
to whom we had previously submitted our case
The lesson afforded by this brief sketch of
Dr. Hunters career is calculates to be useful
to the medical profession. Here is man who,
chained down by the conventional prejudices
and ufsges OF his medical brethren, might have
toiled on for half bis life without arriving at
the results to which his requirements entitled
him to aspire. 1t cost him an effort of moral
courage, and no doubt sacrifice of some pro-
fessioDai pride, to emaucipate himself from the
thrsldom of associations in which they bound
him. By having sufficient independence Of
character to shake loose these ties, and devote
bis talents to the general good of the comma
nifty, he has, within an unprecedentedly short
space OF time, won the highest prizes within
the reach of a medical practitioner.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE-GEoRGE
Law AND THE GRAPEsHoT.-In the tumult of
excitement coLeequent upon the capture aud
return of Baker, much commentator has been
bestowed upon the police Of the city for their
vigilance and enterprise in the matter, and
especially for their ssgacity aud promptness in
fitting out and despatchiog the Grapeshot on
the expedition which has resulted SO success
fully. 1t is proper that the public should be
advised Of the truth, and know whose judg-
ment guided tie preparation and whose lber-
atty provided for the expenses of the expedi-
ton
Mr. Law was called upon by parties DESTROYS
of effscting the arrest of Baker, Tor a steamship
to 20 in pursuit. He had no steamer, and ad-
vjsed the parties that even if one could be pro.
cured it was not desirable to do so-that a fast
sailing vessel was the proper craft to employ
and offered to place the Grapeshos at the dis
position of the authorities, for the purpose,
without charge, if they chose to fit her out and
employ her. Some days afterwards Mr.. Law
was invited by Judge Stuart to meet him at
the May or's Office and there meeting him and
the Mayor together, he at Judge Ssuart's in
stance renewed the offer. After hearing from
Mr.. Law an estimate of the expenses of the ex
petition, at 5 500 or So 900, the Mayor stated
that his authority only extended to the expen
d'ture Of $3.50, and he declined to act upon Judge
Stuart's suggest on that the Common Council or
Board Of Supervisors would ratity any engage
mens he should make for the expenses Of the voy-
age and it seen ed to the 'authorities inevitable
that the project of pursuit must be abandoned.
At this point Mr. Law said to them, that il they
deemed ,he-pursuis desirable, and were anxious
the exeense-he would himself advance all the
funds necessary to carry out the enterprise in
The most efficient manner, and would have the
Grapeshot ready for eco by the evening of
the next day. At this time a captain and ere "
were yetto be engaged, ballast put in the ship,
and two months provisions laid in. All this
was accOmplished-a steamer was employed to
tow Der out Of the harbor, and every bill paid
by Mr.. Law. We have the authority of the
May or for saying that the city has not paid
one dollar in the matter. The result of the ex-
petition IL known. 1t is a full illustration of
the sagacity and energy that directed its de-
tails. The public will judge whether the spirit
and liberality of private citizen which enable
The ministers of justice to reach into another
hemisphere AID another zone and seize a fugi-
tive offender are not worthy OF some acknow
ledemeDt The qualities displayed by the
owner Of the Grapesnot on this occasion are
precisely those which should be locked for, bat
which unfortunately are not always to be found,
in the executive of this great country.

A WESTERN PoET HIGHLY EyCrrED-THE
KANSAS QUESTION - VIRGINIA TESTIMONY
Prentice, the poet OF the Louisville Journal,
evidently in state of active hostility to the
Maine Liquor law, says
The NEW YoRK HERALD accuses us directly of being
abcit ouist the ground of denpncatioa OF the
Missouri invasion OF Kansas. The editor OF the HERALD,
TIE greatest liar in the country for many
years the most notorious He has been kicked 50
his hes that although be is said TO be-
rich, really douet whether he has not received
more Kicks than eoppersn II every slanderous lie
be has uttered wers coal Of fire upon his back he
would be buried IN err huge . mountain Of FIRE
ever his father the oevl was.
II those terrible fellows called by the Govern
or of Kansas the ''border rufGaps" are more
feTocious than this excited poet of Louisville,
let all peaceable men keep to the windward.
Hard names and coarse epithets, however, do
not mend the case for our Louisville cotempo-
rary. We have said that in taking sides with
Reeder and his free soil land spectators
against the Southern squatters in Kansas,
Prentice is play ing into the hands of the aooli-
tionists. He cannot answer thu charge. He
flies into passion, and betrays both the weak
ness Of his position and his dirty instincts in
bis vulgar abuse.
For the edifcation of this Louisville poet, we
commendto bis attention the article, which
we give elsewhere in these columns, from the
Richmond (Va) Examiner, q democratic paper
apxious]y laboring for the election of Mr.. WISE
But the Examiner cannot stomach the defence
set up for Governor Reeder by the Washington
Union, which is substantially the defence of
the Louisville Journal. On the contrary the
Examiner Indignantly repudiates the Union
as part of the Kansas abolition alliance of Gar
rison, Greeley, Reeder, Forney & Co., which is
all that we have charged against our excited
contemporary at Louisville. The free soil con-
spiracy of Reeder & Co. is the party, and Kaa-
sas is the place for Prentice. He is out of his
latitude in Kentucky.
