rs The Memphis Bulletin says-and SAYS truly
that the election OF Buchanan IS nm condemnation OF
Fillmore. His tried wisdom and lofty patriotism
place him beyond the reach of rabbles ostracism.
aud his defeat is damuing proof Of popular iIuo~
rance aud corruption He stands now, where he
stood before, the admiration of every vrtuous pat
riot-the purest and wisest Statesman left to a Re
public, sinking under the weight of its own moral
and political depravty
The Bulletin further savs-and we hail il as q
good Omen-thst the election of Buchanan il not
even to be considered a popular verdict against
whatever is good in the American creed and think
a conservative modification of the naturalization
laws and healthy opposition to poltico religion
ism will be sustained by the American people. Now
the tuletn has been a determined opponent of the
American party, and supported Buchanan, and yet
he thinks the peOpIe OF the country will sustain
the cardinal-we may say the ouly-doctrines OF
the American party-opposition to foreign influence
and to politico religious church 1t is true, We
add to these teDets, determined purpose to pre-
the Union, and those Constitute our creed to
which the Bulletin seems not TO object, and yet we
have found in him an opponent OF no little iuilu'
ence-one who repudiated Fillmore on the ground
of unavaiabIlity, aud supported the enemy of Clay
upon a sectional issue, His motives we DO not
impugn because satisfied of their purity,
and freely forgive, what conceive to be, an err
ror of judgment, in consideration of the qualified
endorsement he gives TO the doctrines OF the Ame-
rican party.-ClaYkS CbroH.

Abstract of The General Land Office re-


The report Of the General Land Once is OF more
than usual length covering period Of FIVE quar-
tiers, ending 30lh September 1856, and giving va
rous subjects Of its Jurisdiction, and all the ope
FatiOns OF the land system, of the United States
lands sold aud disposed Of during the period CO.
vered by the report.-There were sold for cash TO-
0s2, l07 10 acres OF the public lands; located with
military bounty lsbd warrants g. 1885, $40 acres; Sc
lected and reported under swamp grants 8 036, >
s74 So and appropriated by the railroad grants of
NAY. June and August, 1856 las estimated, OS,-
1875, $50 acres, making grand aggregate (includ>
ing other internal improvement seleetions) of Il =
1885, 5S acres Of the public domain disposed OF
during the five quarters ending Goth September,
1856 This large increase over the quantity dis
posed of during the five quarters preceding.
While the sales tor cash have greatly fallen Of the
disposed Of Congressional grants and locations OF
land warrants has more than proportiOnably increa.
sed. The tables accompanying the report showing
the sales, locations, swamp selections, &c, are
very full.
Lands TO no considerable extent have been pro-
claimed and offered at public sale during the year
1858; the present policy of the Office being TO Sc
them to the actual settlers under the preemp-
ton laws rather than TO favor speculation therein,
by precipitating public sales of large quantities be-
yond the means OF settlers to purchase. With the
view of making this the permanent policy of the
office, the report recommends slight modification
of the pre- emption laws. Other amendments, for
the equitable adjustment Of conflicting settlements
upon unsurveyed landsf are recommended.
The surveys during the year ending 30th Sep
TENDER, 1885, Of which plat4 have been returned
and approved amount to l6, 1913 500 acres Of which
1891, s84 acres are on the Pacific coast Exten-
sive surveys have been made which have not yet
been reported. The surveys Of 1855 and those res
ported 10 1856 amount to Al, ll8,44S acres, ol
which 1888, 1854 acres are in California and the
Territories Of Oregon, Washington, Kansas, Me-
braska and Utah.

MAN WHIPPED TO LGFE.-Au Incorporate man
Newark, N j., on Saturday, by taking a large dose
of laudanum, which rendered him insensible. The
Newark Advertiser sayS:
A physician was called, who decided that the only
means of restoring animation to give the sub

with heavey switches for quarter OF an hour, when
sgas of a returning animation were shown, and the
patient sat up glass Of brandy was then given
him. when he fell to sleep, and the beating process
WAS resumed until he fully restored TO con-ciou-.

suffering from the bruises received from the
ordinary "cOurse of sprouts" to which he was sub
jected, This is the first case we ever heard Of

DAScrxo.-Mrs. Harriet X Hun, save:

That beautiful, graceful accomplishment Of dan.
cling, perverted BY late hours and the iudecen
cy OF fashionable attire, has outraged many seusi-
Die people, and led them TO deprive the young of
one of the most simple and healthiul eujoymens,
because it has been abused. For myself, | csn
testify only its healthfu but its recuperatve
power. The fortieth, nay the ifieth year of my
age, found me enjoying this life cheering exercise.
II should be one of the best and earliest amuse~
ments Of children, and should be taken By
parents that it is understood as an anu cement.
Dancing is a heslthful, beautiful graceful recre.
ation and s not responsible for the abuses luxury
has thrown around il. The yulgarism aud excite
ments Of the ball room have more 10 DO with
the simple enjoyment of the dance, than the rich
wines aud sumptuous banquet Of the gourmsnd,
in whom they induce diresse, have to do with the
temperate repAsls thai satisfy the natural wants Of
the body.

Manning the NaYH,l


The Secretary assures the people, grows more
and more difficult; and it has come TO pass that
the navy is manned chiefly by foreigners, in
spite Of laws to the contrary. The Secretary
states that the application of youths desiring
to enlist as apprentices are very numerous, and
that the trouble is to make a selection. he
suggests, too, that the naval service will be
made more popular if ten appointments per
annum be made to the Naval Academy, from
the apprentices, as midshipInen.
The direct road to the removal of all the
troubles in manning aud offering our navy, ia
to change the system Of appointing midship-
men, and instead of leaving the hOnurs among
the sons of Members of Congress and politi-
clans, 10 make promotion the reward of merit
TO the young men who would throng to the
navy, did they see a commodore's epaulettes in
the distance, instead of boatswain's CALI
now the uitimstum of honor offered to the sea-
man. The late popular election, so the Secre
tary's political friends tell DIS, has Just demon
strsted anew the capabilities of the people tC
! govern themselves, aud show to the world the
value of Democracy.
Now, We should like to see little democracy
get into the navy. Just now it is mainly refuge
for the proteges of politicians, and in every way
exclusive as any navy 10 Europe.
Every department Of business in this country i
lead by those who woa their position by entering
TIE ranks as soldiers, and working their way to the
command. 1t ia a shocking thug, certainly, to
have the tender and carefully reared sons of Judge
A.--Or of some political uminary, distsnced by the
rude vgor of farmers sons, or Shoemaker Browns
son, who to the education such as our cOmmoa
schools can give, adds ambition which, once in
position to be developed, places him 10 the post
OF honor.
Turn where we will, we see those who have risen
from the ranks TO eminence. It is this free trade
in donors that has made the coultry what it is aud
secured ts progress, and it can do no harm to give
the navy an airing in this direction.-N. Y E1-

The Sugar Duty.


For reasons best known to himself, Mr..
Guthrie does not recommend the removal OF
the duty on sugar. This we conceive 10 be
serious and unfortunate omission.
1t is doubtful whether any revolution that
has occurred in the price of the necessaries of
life within the present generation has led to
more general Inconvenience and distress than
the rise in the price of sugars. 1t is an actual
fact that poor families Of the present time are
obliged to do without sugar because they can
not afford to pay 30 aud 60 per cent. more for
it than they did twenty months ago. And it
is shameful that 80 per cent. of this aggravated
price should be paid to the United States gov
eminent, which does not know what to do
with it's money.
Sugar, in Louisiana, is already grown as
largely as the supply and price of negroes will
permit. Economically managed, sugar estat es
are certain to be lucrative; aud at anything
like the present prices, the loss of the duty
would rot be felt TO the undue detrinent of
the planter. The duty has now lasted long
enough, in all conscience, to "build up" that
branch of agriculture; it certainly caunot need
further fostering.
From all signs, unless the sorghum should
be cultivated with be tier success than there is
any strong reason to expect ut present, or new
machinery should succeed in producing at a
moderate cost a finer article than has yet been
made from the beet or the maple, we are led
to believe that the price of sugar will not fall
below its present hgure for some time to come.
The production may be stimulated hereafter in
Cubs and Central America by political con-
tingencies; and there is faint possibility that
coolie labor may to some light extent revive
the productive capacities Of the British Islands
aud other tropical regions. But these pros
poets are vague and distant. The clearest
thing that can be seen in the future is that we
shall continue to pay enormous prices for our
sugar perhaps for years to come; and that
these enormous prices will be-slill further in
creased 10y Tux OF 80 per cent. 10 the gov
eminent so loug as the duty is retained.
Under these circumstances we hope and
trust that the Committee of Congress will see
it to repair Mr.. Guthrie's omission by adding
Sugar TO the new free list.-N J.. Herald.
