THE OH SOLDIERS BoUNTY LAND Bill
Congress has passed bill giving leo acres of
land to everybody who has served in the army
or navy Of the United States during any OF
our wars. Col Benton said it would re-
quire at least two hundred millions of acres
of land TO satisfy the requirements Of the
bill. But, acting on the theory of the song
Uncle Sam is rich enough TO give us all farm"
both houses have agreed to the proposition.
1t will make land warrants the principal
tender at the land office, for some time to
come
We find in the sketch of congressional
proceedings, an abstract Of its main provis-
ions, which we copy:
The bill, as amended, provides lands for
persons OF all grades, by land or sea, inclu-
ding Indians, wagoners and flotilla men,
who have served in the wars since 1890
160 acres in all to each person who has served
not less than Id days, except actually in
battle for shorter period. The widows or
minor children to receive the benefit in case
Of the death of the persons so entitled. The
widows of officers and the soldiers of the
revolutionary war to be entitled to the bene-
fit of this act, as likewise the volunteers al
the invasion of Plattsburgh, in September,
1914 the volunteers at the attack of Lewis
town, Delaware, in the years 1912 and 1915
and the chaplains who served in the several
wars. The bill was passed by a vote of | 35
against 80.

The WAR.-By late arrivals we learn that
the condition of the allied army was evi-
IDENTIFY improving both from the weather
and the better administration of the com
missariat The British have suffered far more
than the French although the latter have
not escaped serious losses and inconvenien-
ces from the severity of the winter.
BY a letter of the London Times cores
pondent dated Jan. 2Sth, it would seem,
contrary TO the general impression from pre-
vious accounts, that an attack on Sevastopol
was contemplated at an early day. His Ian
guage is, " One week more will test the val
ne Of all our labors and enable US to form
an estimate Of the strength Of the Russion
position This authority has been consid
cred good hereto if it is to be relied on
now, the next arrival may bring accounts Of
a sanguinary battle, for which the Russians
appear at this distance TO be much better
prepared than the allies.
The London Times by no means endorses
the new administration Of Palmerston. II
is deemed deficient, and only a transference
of responsibility from one set of imbeciles
to another prolongation Of the evils Of
the administration without change Of Olicy.
1t is merciless on the aristoCracy, on whom
rests the responsibility of the government.
Against the formidable power Of Russia, that
threatens and impends over civilization and
the liberty of the old world, it says the Brit
ish government Summon TO office octoge-
narians with one foot in the grave, valetudi-
marian martyrs to the gout,' and various
other terrible disorders-the blind, the deaf
and the lame the sons of grea; men; and
in word, every body except men Of undoubt-
ed ability, with no recommendation but their
talents and services" This has allusion to
the fact that the minister of war, Lord Par.
mure, is confined by gout; the lord Of the
admiralty, Sir James Graham, vaetudina
rian; Lord Rokeby, lately sent out to com
mand division, being deaf; Lord Seaton
who is eighty years old, and so on through
the whole range of disability and incompe
tency,-IO. s. Journal.

GREELEys RELrGIoN.--A newspaper dis
cussion among the religious papers as TO the
religious belief of Horace Greeley has brought
him out in letter to the Christian Ambas-
sador, in which he states that he has believed
for thirty years that God will bring the whole
human family into state of reconciliation
to himself, but as to the time when, he has
no immovable conviction. He claims TO be
a sort of Unitarian resurrectionist. He SAYS
he is member of Rev. E. H. Chapin's
(UniversalisD society, but don't partake of
the communion, because he believes the use
of the vile and poisonous drug sold as wine
is detrimental to the cause Of total absti-
pence.

The president has vetoed the ocean mail
steamer Appropriation bill.

steamer appropriation bill. ,nf
President Pierce seems determined to ex-
ercise the most despotic feature given to his
office by the constitution, in a manner to
familiarize the people with the "one man
power" He follows up his veto of the river
and harbor bill by the g. forbid" upon the
French spoliation bill, and the bill to pay
Collins for carrying the mails to England.
And his supporters, who profess to hate
monarchy so, are the first and only men who
applaud the use of this kingly power. In
deed there has never been veto in the Uni
ted States that they did not approve, SO far
as we know. The bold assumption Of pow
er and 6 responsibility by one man, always
meets their approval and excites their admi-
ration. They seem to think it the essence
of good government and the palladium OF
public liberty. The result of their system
inevitably is, that the representative body Is
less pure and more open to corruption than
the executive; that the executive is more
the representative of the people than the
representatives, sent by the people, and, i'll
short, that the executive is right and the rep
resentatives wrong. "The king can do no
wrong' embodes the sentiment when car
ried out
Can men be truly democratic and at the
same time encourage the practice of despo-
tism Impossible. Such men are practic-
ALLY sapping the foundations of republican
government, whether they believe it or not.
A true republican, especially democratic
republican, detests and condemns every fea-
ture, every vestige of 8" the power of the
throne wherever seen or by whomsoever
Exercised. 1t is a power dangerous to liber-
ty, at war with representative form of gov
eminent, and ought to be stricken from eve
ry written constitution.

According to Putnam for February, the
proportion of naturalized to native born vo-
ters in this country, in 1882, was to SO !;
in 1910, to 46; in 1852, to IT, While
in 20 years the natives -trebled, the foreign
increase is II times its number in 81, aad
for the last five years has averaged $50 day.
In political point of view :hese are inter
esting facts. The more interesting and dan
gerous facts, however, we think, are the ig-
norance, pauperism and crime, with which
our country is flooded from abroad The in
crease of these foreign luxuries is one Of the
features of " free trade" and is costing this
country too much. Voters are generally
able to take care of themselves, but these
public nuisances have to be taken care Of
Their proportional increase is far greater
than that of the voters.

Gold and silver will undoubtedly become
the general medium of circulation as soon
as the supply is equal to the demand. This
opinion which is expressed by Dr. Michel
sen, in his treatise upon the relative values
Of the precious metals, is obviously correct.
Men esteem metallic currency higher than
paper, for all purposes where il is preferable;
and it is only because they have not the OPP
portunity to choose, that in most OF the ;rans-
actions of business they receive the latter. \
party, therefore, in possession of the govern
ment, and having the control OF It's financial
policy, which so directs that policy as to
permit and encourage the emigration Of coin
as rapidly as it is produced, has not only no
right 10 be esteemed sincere when it claims
to be in favor Of metallic circulation, but
has no business to complain when il is
charged with deceit and hypocrisy in its
clustering TRADES against banks and bankers.
In 1854 the exports of specie, in the way
of trade-to pay balances, were upwards OF
forty-one millions. We paid Mexico ten
tainly made us no richer, happier, or more
powerful. We have shut up in the vaults
Of the treasury, and out of circulation, or
an average, over thirty millions. We have,
in transjtu between collection and disbursc-
ment, and out of circulation ten millions
more. The cost of government during the
past year, rose from ffty-four to seventy iye
millions-a portion of the difference having
gone abroad in specie, for which add nine
millions, and we have one hundred millions
of dollors, of which the people are deprived
during the year; for large portion Of
which, government is directly chargeable. .
From the supporters Of such government ,
charges against bankers as being the authors
Of these hard times, and bellowings against
paper currency, come with very bad grace.

round to st. Philippe, Louisiana forts on
the northern frontier Of Texas, $50, 600 for,
at entrance of San Francisco harbor $500

River and harbor Improvements get moth

DETROIT AND ToLEDo.-The good people
of Toledo and some citizens of Michigan are
moving in the old project Of connecting De-
troit and Tolcdoby railroad. This is hard
time to commence new enterprise, and We
have wondered that this work has been SO
long neglected. If any new road would
take IN the market at this time, we really
think that this ought. To the lake cities it
is OF great importance, both summer and
winter. The outlet through Canada may to
degree relieve Detroit, but all the towns
below that point to Erie and Buffalo feel the
want of perfected communication along
the whole lake shore.-O. S. Journal.

From Rio de Janeiro.

BY the arrival Of the ship Courier, Captain
Wolfe, from Rio dc Janero, VIC are in possession
of papers thence to the 18th ultimo, fifteen days
later than any previously received in the United
States.
The Assembly General was in session, and had
passed a law imposing tax of $500 on all com
Inercial establishments employing more than one
foreign clerk, exemptng Brazilian clerks from
active service in the National Guard and from
being taken as recruits and subiectinp foreigners
guilty of certain offences TO the same laws as ma
tives, with the further penalty Of perpetual inhi-
biton from trading in the country.
a decree is published authorizing the payment
OF s624,0 TO the officers of the Navy engaged in
the war Of independence and that of the Rio de
Plata, or their heirs.
The formal do Commerce. says that Belgium
line Of steamers between Antwerp and Rio de ia
metro is definitely organized The capital Of the
society is 100000 francs, in 1900 shares. The
line is to consist Of four steamers, each ca
pable Of carrying 600 tons Of merchandise. be-
sides their fuel, with accommodations for twenty
five cabin passengers and one hundred and fftv
others, and equal 70 an average speed of from
eight and half TO nine miles an hour without
using sails. The service is to commence before
the 10Th Of May, 1857. The first year they are
10 make bi-monthly voyages, and afterwards
monthly ones. The Belgian government grants
the company subsidy of 800, 800 francs, payable
100000 francs the FIRST year, 36 600 francs year
for two years afterwards. II is expected that one
of the vessels will commence running about eight
months hence
The company is formed for twenty years, and

slavery here, though the law says | am 'Jtelon,
and the officers and governor say, 1.-Two years in
the penitentiary,'
" Our only exodus from this prison-house Of
our bondage is into free and Independent State
May God and good men help speed the day"
Passing by most Of the foregoing as either an
excessive boiling over OF patriotism or Of Aboli-
tonsm, the real complaint seems to be, that, by
a law OF the territorial legislature, the payment
OF taxes, and an oath TO support the organic law
OF Kansas and the Constitution OF the United
States are made conditions precedent TO voting
According 10 the letter above, there are many IN
Kansas who petuse To comply with these condi-
tons, and, TO get clear OF them, have determined
to resort TO revolutionary measures in the shape
Of an antagonistic political organization. state
OF things might be supposed 10 exist IN any State
or Territory which would fully justify the enact
ment of stringent laws like those complained of
IN Kansas; but whether such necessity existed
there or not, we not in condition TO Judge
with proper confidence.
Eat, be that as ii may, we are prepared to say
that the foregoing letter shows no sufficient just-
fcaton for the open and undisgulsed resistance OF
the laws which il therein disclosed and advo-
Gated. The Legislature which passed the laws
was elected in obedience to Il writ OF election Is
sued in pursuance of the act offs Congress. The
Governor of the Territory received the returns OF
the elections and issued his certificates of mem
bership. BY his own official admission, made un-
der the obligation of his OATH the persons recelv-
ing from him certificates of election were legal
delegates To the Legislature Governor Reeder
recognised them as the lawful Legislature by adj
dressing them as such, and afterwards by yetoing
their acts such lawful Legislators. The pretext
that the members lost their legislative capacities
by removing the seat of government is too filmsy
to require serious notice We conclude, then,
that the acts of the Legislature passed in obedi-
ence TO the United States Constitution and TO the
Constitution of the Territory (Which is the law
organizing t) are the valid laws of the Territory,
and no individual or combination OF individuals
can expect to be sustained by the American peo-
pie in attempting, by force evasion, to effect
successful violation or resistance in the Territory.
We predict, therefore, that the public judgment
of the country will be pronounced against the
revolutionary plan of redress which Governor
Reeder is so earnestly seeking to carry out.
