An Important Measure /.

An important blll has lately been INTRO
dueed and passed b. the House Of Repre-
sentatives, which, II coDcured ia by the
ssnsts viii prove Of almost iucalculAbls
advantage to the older States Of The Union.
The bill provides that six AMI . quarter
million acres Of the public lands shall be
dOuaIed to, and divided among the several
States Of the Union, in amount equal 10
&c. 900 acres Cor each Senator and Repre-
sentative, to which the States are now re-
spectivsly entitled. The lands are TO be
sold, and the money derived from the sales
is to be invested 10 United States stocks
yielding DOT less than s per cent, to cOusti.
tute 3 perpetual fund, aud the interest Of
which is to be iuviOlably appropriated to
the endowment and support Of colleges 10
which the science of Agriculture aud the
Mechanic arEs, are to be the prominent
studies.
This bill, if we remember correctly, ORR
ginatsd With, and was brought before Con-
gress by Mr. Morrill,, q member Of Con.
gress from Maine; aud should it become a
law, it would accomplish double purpose:
that of rendering justice to the older States
Of the cOnfederacy, and at the same time
conferring almost innumerable benefits up
on the whole country. Independent, how
ever, Of these considerations, there is an
other reason Why this bill should not only
become a law, but one we think, that de-
mands that the remainder of our terrific
rial domaip be disposed Of in a like man
Ger, or at least that more vigllant and
watchful care be exercised over it in the
future than there has been in the past
The pablo lands, fr q number OF years
have been little more to the country than
source ofpeculstion and fraud. Sharp
ers have rioted upon them They have
been wrencned from Congress- in huge
slices, by political favOrites, and chartered
monopolies, for a mere song. At other
times they have been given away under
the guiso that the grants would accelerate
emigration westward, that new villages,
towns, and cities would be reared up, and
thereby the value Of the remainder meas-
ureably enhanced. Has this result been
producedl After million upon million Of
acres of the public domain has been given
away for the purpose Of augmenting the
value Of that which remains, what has been
accomplished? We are at loss to know?
They sold for one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre before these monster grants
were begun. They sell for the same still 7
Ifthen, Congress disposed Of them so loose
" aRd managed them to 50 little profit
to the country, would i not be manifest
ly wiser, to do with all Of them, as Mr..
MorrlI's bill proposes to do with por-
ton Of them; give them to the States with
which to erect Colleges, educate !heir youths
instiI into their minds lofty aims, and no.
bic purposes, so that they may be sent in
to the world not only intelligent and learn
ed, but at the same time skilled in the
Arts and Sciences.

The Conference Committee.

A majority of the Committee of Confer
ence to whom WAS entrusted the duty Of
reporting bill for lhe admission Of Kanr
sas, have submitted u bill, which is accept
able Of course to the Administration, but
very unacceptable to the Anti LecOmPtOn
men. A motion has however been made
and carried to postpone the further cousid-
erslIon of the subject until the second day
of May. AT that time it will again be tar
ken up, and We fear tue bill reported by
the maj"lty of the Committee will pass
both Houses aud bepoms law. We hope
for the best vet it is not TO be disguised
that appearances indicate that the Admin,
istration will finally riumph.

The deceased emigrated from Centre Co., Pa,

years he was afflicted with symptoms threatening
consumption, which, from frequent exposures in
his active life, at last we're developed in the con
hrmed and fatal illness Of which he died His
time had come, and we bow submissively to the
Decree Of the All-Wise and Good, consoled with
the reflection, that nothing tha. human skill
could do for his recovery was left unemployed
For many years he was a member Of the Presby.

erected on the family farm. lie was extensively
kLown as kind friend, tender husband and
father, and worthy citizen. He has left widow
and four young children TO mourn his removal

hope, expressed in his dying moments, to cheer
them in the belle that it is well with him. "Tht
