A New Land Bill.

Mr.. Grow, member Of Congress
from Pennsylvania, has introduced
into the Honse a New Land Bill,
which provides that the public lands
belonging to the United States shall
be surveyed and remain the property
of the Government for fifteen years, at
the expiration of which time the Pres.
ident may issue his proclamation and
order them sold.
The object of this bill is, that actu-
al settlers may for this term of years
occupy these lands, and when once in
market, theirlabor would enable them
to become owners ofthe soil.
This bill, should it become law,
would cut off all hopes Of land specu-
lators, and give the landless an oppor.
tunity to procure a farm without first
paying over their substance to enrich
the sharks who too often fatten of
our public lands.

given our opinion Of the fellows who
famed and refused to submit it after be-

any further action unnecessary. If

A RELIGIOUS PRoNuNC1AMENro.

A RELIaIoUs PRoNuNcIAMENTo. -
Bishop Bayley, the Catholic Bishop of
New Jersy, has issued a manifesto, to
be read in all the churches, in which
he calls attention to drunkards and
dealers in liquor. Leaving to the pas.
tors the choice of the particular means
to be used, he suggests that each
should keep a list Of the drunkards
and liquor.dealers in his church. lie
says: ....
am determined to make use ofthe
most severe measures against all who
are addicted to this scandalous and
destructive vice, and if they continue
in the practice Of it. they must do it
as outcasts from the Catholic Church,
who have no right to the name OF Gath.

CoNTEMPTIBLE ToADYIsM.-Under
this head the Journal has thought
proper to state that the Democratic
members Of the Ohio Legislature have
"let down" on the Lecompton issue,
having written to Senator Pugh, with
drawing instructions, &c. The Jour.
nal bases its remarks upon what the
Cincinnati Enquirer said Of the mat.
ter, but fails to state that the Enquirer
subsequently stated that its article was
incorrect-that it was mistaken as to
tine facts. Neither docs the Journal
notice the letter of Senator Pugh to
the N. Y. Herald denying that mem
bers Of the Ohio Legislature had writ
ten to him to vote as he pleased upon
the Lecompton Constitution. These
facts perhaps were unknown to our
neighbor when he penned the article.
As he is 'pledgedtO truth, we hope he
will correct the false impression con,
veyed to his readers through mista'
ken idea the facts.

D The following capital hit we
find in the Newark (O) Advocate -
We guess there are great many who
did not know how greatly they had
been wronged until since the vote on
the Lecompton Constitution:
"a wag has just been in our
sanctum making terrible complaints
against the Convention which formed
the present Constitution Of Ohio. He
says he never knew, until since the
present Kansas fuss, how badly he had
been used, but be now sees that the
Ohio Constitutional Convention treat.
ed him most diabolicaily. He claims
that, in spite OF all his efforts and con
victions, clause authorizingthe char
ter of banks was put into the present
constitution, and this clause Gas he
has always helieved) is in utter dero.
CATION of the Constitution of the Uni.
ted States; yet, the Ohio Constitution
al Convention compelled him either to
vote for that clause or vote agains
the whole constitution. He thinks
this was black tyranny and threatens
to leave for Kansas, where they dom
allow such things to happen without
raising a muss." ........

CONGRESSIONAL ELEcTIoNs.--We
hope the Legislature will pass the bill
deferring one year the election Of Con-
gressmen. By the present system,
members are elected fourteen months
prior to the time at which they take
their seats. Frequently the issues,
during this period, are changed; at
other times new Issues arise; so that
the people are often cheated OF Their
will and the great principle ofrepre.
sentation in a measure defeated. 1t
is simply matter fjuStice to the peo.
pie, and we hope the bill will pass.
