FORT SNEk4NG SWINDLE.-The Con
gress Of a year ago passed very vague
act to sell useless government sites. In
what manner it was not stated, but it was
understood by public sale. John b
Floyd, Secretary of War, proceeded
and sold Fort Smelling on the Upper
Mississippi in the most private manner
possible to his friends for song. The
reports of military men were against
the sale in every shape, the place being
the best that could be selected to hold
the surrounding Indians in check
Floyd insulted the military men and
sold the valuable property for compare
lively nothing, giving a deed only on
the payment of a small portion of the
purchase money-an unusual act. The
evidence of the completely of the Secre-
tsry of War in the fraud on the govern
ment is strong. OF such materials is the

These fearless Representatives of the
people of fCalifornia have attracted much
attention and excited much admir- alton
in the Atlantic States, Their steady
and consistent devotion to principles,
their firmness in the midst of alternate
temptations and threats, constitute a
rare example to public men, and one
which the people should delight to hon
or. Mr., Broderick's speech, which we
publish in the present number of "For-
ney's California Press" is nervous, poin-
ted, and bold. Mr.. McKibben has done
everything in his power to arrive at a
harmonious and honorable settlement of
the vexed question, and was most anx-
ious to coincide with the President,
whose devoted friend he has been from
the beginning. No man in Congress has
been more eager to assist in reconciling
the unhappy differences which have
grown out of the Kansas question. But,
so long as the principle was withheld or
denied. he could agree to no comprq-
mise. 1t was impossible to yield his
own regard for this principle to any con-
siderations Of expediency.
Mr.. Senator Broderick, by his stern
and outspoken opposition to wrong, has
secured the appreciation and respect of
thousands. The public mind responds to
his upright and manly character, and his
friends in California have every reason
to be proud of him. Every day adds to
the strength Of his position before the
country.
We cannot doubt that the people of
California will rally around Broderick
and McKibben. They deserve the
warmest support of all parties.

boon the admission of Kansas into the

four -ffths of all the slaves at that place,
voted for the free soil candidate" The
explanation given of the fact is, that the

profit by an influx of free labor, and
hence consult the economic question in

u The Kansas Bill passed by both

u The Kansas Bill passed by both
Houses of Congress, on the 30th April,
starts out with the following barefaced
faisehood
"WHEREAs, The people of the Ter
ritory Of Kansas, did, on the 9TH day of
November, one thousand eight hundred
and fifty-seven, for that purpose, form
for themselves Constitution and State
Government"
Such an exhibition is almost sufficient
to disgust an honest man with repub-
lican government Some of the very
men who voted for and endorsed the
above have been opposing the Lecomp-
ton Constitution because it aeas not an
en'anatiOn from tie peopze 9fKansas.
That was the only real ground of oppo-
sition with Democrats. The Republi-
cans have been opposed to the admis-
sion Of any more Slave States. The
Democrats in Congress have never taken
that position, and the only ground on
which they could base their opposition
to the Lecompton Constitution was its
want of sanction by the people of Kan
sas. With that for shield they arrayed
themselves on the side of popular SOW
ereignty. Nov, however, a part of the
Democratic men of principle have weak
ened. Lecompton is acknowledged to
be legitimate by the weather-cocks of
the party.
Why did not English and the other
geese back down and vote for Lecomp-
ton direct? 1t would have been an
honorable act in comparison to the one
they have done.

legislation in our State with Jealous eyes.
One Of the railroad laws passed last session exempted
the Sacketts Harbor and Saraoga railroad Company
lands from taxation. No more villanous act was
passed during that memorable session. The Dill was
very carefully worded and exempts all the lands OF the
company, by whatever name may hereafter be known,
whether su;h lands now owned or hereafter acquired
from all taxation for twenty two years The company
purchased from the State three hundred thousand acres
at five cents They have since acquired more.
By the act in questonchapter 81 Of the laws OF the last
sessonthese lands are, before stated, exempted from
State and county taxes for twenty two years
Now these lands will be assessed by the Assessors,
and will be returned to the Comptroller Office as unpaid
nonresident taxes The amount OF State and county tax will
be advanced by the State. When the time for the tax
sale comes the exemption under the act Of last session
will be claimed, and the lands Of cannot be sold

the state will lose not only the State tax on TIE lands but
also the amount of county tax which she will have ad
