HTroS OF Pubic ACcoMNoDArIoS.--The policy
pursued by the Post Office Department in regard
to our ocean steamers Is one certainly not calcu-
lated TO encourage the growtt Of that important
branch OF our commercial marine. Compared
with the extravaganza Of expenditure observable
in other details Of the Post Office administration
it, niggardllness in this respect Is not easily
understandable
Mr.. Collins, we see, has recently been in Wash
iDgton trying to get paid up the deficiency
arising from some irregularity ia point of time,
in connection with The notice terminating his
grant lie has had to encounter all sorts OF OBJ
stacles to the payment of his claim, owing, IL Is
said, to the hostility OF the Post Office authori
ties Commodore Vanderbilt has not been more
successful in cnlisting their support TO the grant
for the Havre and Bremen line. Il seems 10 be
the policy Of the department TO discourage as
much az possible the efforts Of our American
ship owners 10 compete with The British and
other foreign steam companies, and to prevent us
from rendering ourselves independent Of them, 20
far as the conveyance OF the mails is concerned
II is difficult 10 assign any rational motives for

reasons may have something 10 do with IL, but

DISTINGUISHED DEMOCRATIC LAND SpEcUlArrNa
POLITICIANS. According to an article which ne
transfer to this paper from the Chicago Pres,
(republican,) quite cluster of leading dems-
cratic statesmen and politicians are up to their
ears In Western land jobbing operations.
In this schedule Mr.. Senator Douglas stands
deservedly first, as one of the most successful Of
modern Western land Spectators Our Chicago
contemporary, however, has overlooked toe grand
est land operation of Mr.. Douglas. TIL. proper
ty which he acquired with his first auable ana
accomplished wife was chiefly in North Carolina
slaves, and they, if we are not mistaken, he has
low employed In the cultivation of Mississippi
cotton plantation. The first great financial suc
cess OF Mr.. Douglas in the land business was the
passage of that bill through Congress, some pears
ago, granting to the Illinois Central Railroad two
millions five hundred thousand acres of the
choicest public lands in the State. OF that bill
Mr.. Senator Douglas was as much the father as Of
the Kansas Nebraska bill, and we have always
supposed that with the success of that land grant
fortune was insured TO the lucky Senator
That bill was also the broad foundation of the
numerous and stupendous schemes of Western
railroad land grabbing which have followed IL
The corruption projects of the last Congress, iu-
volving the expulsion of q. g. Matteson aud Others
from the House, were but the natural fruits Il
this land spoliation system, started into
vigorous life in Congress with that Illinois Cen
tral Railroad bill. 1t was that first great land
grant and most splendid Congressional success
IF Mr. nou nd IF tha Zoe oorcorood 49,
created the horde of land sharks and the hume
rous and various schemes OF land spolistiea vhat
have marked all the subsequent land legiaAhon
Of Congress-
But, returning to the main question, our Chi
cago temporary, in his list of these notable
democratic SPECTATORS in Western lands gives
U.s. in addition to Mr.. Douglas and Coisocl
Richardson, Of Illinois, the following conspicuous
names:-Mr. Breckenridge, Vice President OF the
United States Mr. Bright, Of Indiana; Mr. Orr.
Of South Carolina; Mr.. Toombs, of Georgia;
Mr.. Slidell, Of Louisiana; and Mr.. Forney. az
Pennsylvania If true, these disclosures ere
very suggestive and important They 60 TO
chow that our leading apostles Of democracy,
North and South, are as deep in the mud of these
Western land jObbing operations as the Seward
finaDciers themselves; and that the professional
politician of any party may be resolved into an
artful dodgcr, stockjobbcr, a spcculator, r
grabber and gambler in the public lands.
Have the aforesaid distinguished democrats, oe
any Of them named in this connection, amp thing
to say in reference to these statements Of the
Chicago Pres? II not, we shall consider our
selves at liberty to 60 into the whole merits Of

THE NoNENrtrY oP THE METROPOLITAN PorICH
The HERALD has taken the position that the
new Metropolitan police force are State oficew
responsible to the State only, ADD tina. they caa-
not execute as such, the ordinances Of the city OF
New York. To this II IA replied with ohucklc
by contemporary that the ordinances Of the sity
are made State laws by The black republican bill,
and therefore they can be enforced by the new
police We perfectly understand this dodge, o.
well as that of making New Yotk a psrs OF
a district, in order to evade the constitutional
objections to the original bill; poor and pitifuI
attempts TO do indirectly that which directly
could not possibly be done But viii the dodgc
Of suhjecting the new police force to the orif

word-answer the purposes In the first place, z
this construction Is the correct one, thea the Nc

that there are none which as such can be enforccs

On the other hand, II the new Policebill make
