BrfRhcs 5000 Acres of Public Land,
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, says:-

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, says:-
More specific information shows that Bright
had partners in the speculation, to wit, Mr. Eng.
lish and Mr. Foley, two wavcring and apparent
ly fickle.minded anti.Lecompton Democrats,
from the same State as Mr.. Bright. The Junior
organ here, the Star, admits that these warrants
were sent out from here by the Commissioner
of the Land office, by Mr.. Bright. What was
the consequence? From the moment when
Bright's warrant aud his list of designated lands
arrived, those lands were taken out Of the mar
ket, and though the act Of entry might not
have been perfected for six months no actual
settler, or any number of them, could enter an
acre of that tract. The organ justfes the act
as legal, but nobody believes that, had not this
trio of spectators been members whose votes
it was necessary to have, they would have been
thus allowed to step between the settlers and
their rights. They would have been compelled
to go themselves, or send agents, and to take
their chances with the settlers in getting these
lands Upon the whole there is little doubt
that this extraordinary privilege was accorded
to these men as bribe. Whether Foley and
English would have been converted, to Lee
comptonism without the bribe is a question
they may discuss with their constituents.

Acquiltal OF a Murderer In Kentucky
Singular Language from a ) Judge.

The young man Hardesty, who shot and kill.
ed Gruhb, in Burlington, Boone county, Ken.
tucKy, about year ago, was tried and acquit-
ted last Thursday. The case was an interesting
one. Grubb had scduced sister of Hardesty,
and the latter, on discovering the fact, told the
sedacer that ii he did not marry her in sig
months he would kill him. The six months
having expired without Grubb's compliance,
iiardesty met him on the street and shot him
dead. Grubb was armed Cor defence, but was
pierced by the bullet Of his antagonist while in
the act Of drawing his pistol.
On the rendition of the verdict, Judge Nutall
delivered the following. 1t has more Of human
nature, or, rather, of Kentucky nature, than Of
judicial propriety in it:
Sra: You have been indicted by a grand ju.
ry OF your country upon . most heinous charge.
Sau have put yourself upon your country and
your God for deliverance. You have had a
Cir and impartial trial before them, and they
have both pronounced you not guilty, aud so
say !. 1t may not be proper for me to express
my sentiments, yet. nevertheless, will do it.
Young man had l been wronged as you have
been, would have spent every dollar bad on
earth, and oil that could have begged and
borrowed, and then starved upon the track 0l
the villain, but would have imbrued my hands
10 his blood. Go hence without delay. You
are acquittedIl
Both the verdict and this judgment were re-
ceivsd with shouts Of applause.
The letters returned to Washington, directed
to the bogus lottery concerns at Norwich, CT.
contained $4,000. There have been Gkewis,
returned TO the dead letter Office great guam
sity Of letters addressed TO fictitious firm il
New York, which advertised . medicine to pre-
vent conception. Nobody can deny that th,
Yankees are susceptible to imposition.

y, suspicion was aroused, and the body finally
disnterred. Upon post mortem examination
etrychnine was discovered in the stomach, and
state Of pregnancy found to have existed a,

GOOD reason for refusing to give TO the BurlinR.
ton q Missouri River Railroad the tract ofland,
now under water, known ss Iiawkeye accretions.
Every reason argued in our hearing has been
frivolous. or founded upon false premises. in
our estimation. OF course the convey ance l. 70
the Company for Railroad purposes, and for NO
thing else. And, whenever it IL diverted from
that object, it necessarily reverts to the city.
The Company want it for freight and passenger
depo's, engine houses, machine shops, etc. In
order TO use it for these purposes this Company
must necessarily 6ll it above the water level
They must necessarily erect suitable build,nss
TO accommodate the increasing business Of the
Road as it progresses westward.
This is all plain, fair and square. We see NO
chance for the concealmcnt Of an Ethiopian.
We see no sacrifice. A piece OF unoccupied and
unsnproved city property, of no value or NO use
except to give employment to the doctors, ,s to be
reclaimed from the river and occupied with psr.
manent buildings where large number OF per.
sons will be employed, thus adding to the pop.
uiat;o;s and busiit IS OF the town aud enhancins

good reasons why We should not vote to give
The accretions, let them give them to the public.
We have already tried the experiment, and
know we cannot build this Road, even with the
and grant made by Congress. Our own citizens |
who have money refuse to embark it in this en-. |
erpriss. They still lend upon bonds and mort. |
'ages, and will let the Road slide as long as
wenty per cent. gudgeons continue to bite.
Ind yet, in the face Of this fact persons (few in
lumbcrs, we admit,) continue to assert that We
hoald not only refuse all aid to the Company.
ut restrict it, tie it up and embarrassit by refu.
ing what not only costs us nothing but will
cally be . loss to ourselves to withhold. And
ne reasons they give for all this is, that the
load must and will be built any how-that the

Only few trees that were protected by build
