LANDS FOR SETTLERS.

eoTespontenee OF The N. Y Tribune.
WINoSA Minnesota, March so 1857.
A great mistake prevails in the Northern and East
States among those who are preparing to come to
this Territory Congress granted a large amount OF
land to railroads. and all of the land offices have been
closed 20 that no lands can be sold and therefore
settlers abroad infer that they cannot get land except
what they purchase al secondhand Of those who se-
cured their land before the offices closed The act of
Congress says that the railroads shall have every al
ternse section of odd number that is Nos. l. g. s.
Z &c, for six miles each side of their tracks of the
land not sold Therefore all the sections of an even
number virtually open 10 actual settlers, because
settlers perfectly safe; and al the land sales no
speculator or other person will bid against q settler
and he get his land nj Government prices but the
Government price for all lands within six miles of the
railroads will be - 80 per But if persons wish
TO get farther oh than six miles from the proposed
railroad lines then the price of the lands will be 81 25
have conyersed with bankers and land dealers here
and they tell me that they consider the actual settlers
just as safe in taking up Government lands now a.
This information is important TO the one hundred
thousand hardy men who are preparing TO come here
this year. many OF whom may be kept back by the
knowledge that the land Offices closed. l have
settlers within few days sell their claims go
on 10 new lot, as they know their claim will not be
inerfered with when the lands come into market

Monarchy VS.. Republic.

The contrast between the English Monar.
chy and the American Republic in the fol-
lowing article, from an English Democratic
Journal, the Peoples Paper, edited by Ernest
Jones, must strike with force even the most
superficial reader:
Here we have an old monarchy with
German Royal family costing one million
pounds per annum--a national debt of 500
million pounds sterling, costing twenty-eight
millions per annum, and cntaied by that Ger
man Royal family, through German wars. for
German interests; hereditary-landed aristo-
cracy, drawing rental Of 100 millions year.
~ from the people; a state Church. robbing
the same people Of eleven millions more every
year; a poorrate, equal to the revenne, and
q pauper population equal to the inhabitants
OF some continental kingdoms-and debt,
royal extravagances, pauperism, poor-rates,
taxation, and land rental increasing constant
ly This is what we have here.
"On the other side Of the Atlantic there
IS yonng Republic, with a native President
which costs only 5000 pounds per annuln a
national debt OF seven millions pounds, which
might be paid off in one year, without the
IeNelue ol thc country IeeliHg any material
drain; an income so large, that the Execu-
tive seeks to reduce it by ten million dollars,
no hereditary aristocracy drawing the life
blood from the peoples veins; no state church
spelling the people as Israetes were told
to spoil the Egyptians, we are informed, but
for far less excusable motive no paupers
and no poor-rates worth mentioning; no for
eign interests predominant in legislation; no
war undertaken for the interests of an alien
descended family; no decay, no decline, no
threatened ruin; but on the contrary pros
perity, economy, wealth, happiness and con-
tentment. That is what they have there.
e" What is the difference? Because in the
Que country there is franchise restricted to
one-seventh Of the population, one half of
which seventh returns seven-tenths OF the
representation combined with that useless,
mischievous, and ridiculous Institution called
monarchy" Because in that country there
is Universal Suffrage, and a Republic. That
is the difference between the two institutions,
as shown in their result Could there be
more striking comment on the relative value
of the tWo?D

The Literary Sneak.

We wrote the other day q short article,
commenting on the toisom nature of the du-
ties of daily editor, in which we suggested
that, considering the necessarily hurried and
off-hand writing which his business impera-
lively requires, the public should be less ready
to carp at his occasional faults of style and
shortcomings. We now propose to treat of
the Literary Sneak-a sort of animal some
times found in newspaper Offices and chiefly
distinguished for swelled head, and plell-
tiful lack Of brains.
The Literary Sneak is generally crammed
full Of envy and all manner of petty Jealous
les. He cannot bear the idea of any one be-
ing praised or admired but himself-any
praise or admiration bestowed npon a cotem-
porary is as hot iron smmering in his
hearts blood. If lie can by any distortion
of such cotemporary's meaning place him in
false position and otherwise injure him iu
the public estimation, ho will do it, If by
any unmanly and sneaking insinuation, con-
veying an insult of such nature that it can
not well be resented by the application of a
cowhide to his cowardy and emasciated
body, he can produce the impression that q
cotemporary is unfit for his calling while he,
himself, is d mighty ''wizard of the pen" re-
gardless of every manly and generous senti-
ment which always govern the gentlemen of
the profession, he does not hesitate to do it.
We have an immesurabe contempt for such
IA crawling worm. They are fortunately,
however, scarce for it is seldom indeed you
can find man soulless enough to descend to
such level. We have just such a literary
sneak in our minds eye at present We
have known that same sneak to misrepresent
and even villify one of the very men who
helped him up to the elevation which he has
reacled--a not very high one it is true, but
then it is as high as so much dead matter
can conveniently be lugged up.
So much for literary sneaks. We have
devoted as much space TO them as the subject
deserves. Sac. Bee

How TO CHOOSE HUsBAED.-G iris
when you see young man of modest, respect
ful, retireng manners, with unpretendng, yet

wealth. that man will make good husband.
