Messrs. Morrow. Branscomb and Winchell, commits
sioners appointed at the settlers mass convention
in Kansas to procure aloan for the squatters have
had, in company with Mr.. Parrott, delegate from
Kansas, an interview with the President who init
mated his willingness to postpone the sales till Oc-
tober if they thought BEST but desired them to call
ON the Secretary of the Interior.
The latter stated that the policy of the govern
ment would be to sell all the public lands possible
during the present year for the purpose of revenue
but consented to defer the sales in Kansas until No
vember first and fifteenth, when they will take place.
The Commissioners leave for New York on Friday,
for the purpose of securing the loans needed.

succeed with its policy in the Committees Or

Is the flag of the United States to be made the
shelter and shield of piracy on the high seas In
other words, Does the commander of National ship
net American, who suspects a vessel that displays
the American fay If being a. pirate orslayer, COM
matt a trespass on National rights if he requires
that suspected vessel to heaye to and show her pa
pers? There can be no doubt that if we choose so
Ito do, can secure to all the cut Threats and out
Jaws who may at any time be afoat, that i'm punity
which they so naturally desire. We can say to the
Kidds and Canots the freebooters and llihusters of
all nations, Only be that the National vessel
that may at any time overhaul you is not American
and you have simply to raise the American flag and
dare her to approach you at her peril. If she is
American, you will of course hoist other flag,
and that will answer the same purpose. For we can
not of course manane doctrin for ourselves and
the opposite for the rest of mankind. If the sim
pie raising of American flag is to shield vessel
any scrunity except from ships of war, then
the raising of British French Spanish flag must
be equally potent as against own cruisers. Gen
Cass will have learned bounteous acknowledgment
from all the outlaws of the if he establishes
this doctrine What the honest craft of any nation
are to gain by it, we cannot imagine. ss
When Com. Porter landed force on the island of
Cuba. and compelled the Spanish authorities of a
village to submit to search, and to surrender cer-
tain pirates whom he strongly believed, and ult-
nately found, to be concealed there the general
sentiment of our countrymen applauded his act. It
was technically trespass, of but trespass
lit was heidi fully justified by the circumstances.
Gen. Jackson's invasion and conquest of Florida
even his hanging Of Arbuthnot and Ambrister was
approved by majority of our people and justified by
our Government. No nation has more uniformly
than ours acted on the principle of detecting crime
and averting peril by the readiest means But now
the popular cry would seem to be- Let Commerce
perish-let Piracy Slayers cover the seas
rather than permit the cruisers OF European Pow
ers to require our merchant ships to verify their Ma
TONS character by merely showing their papers. -
We do hot believe this either wse patriotic and
believe that. should Great Britain as she proba-
bly, will, say, Very well aecede to your doc
trine," we should have abundant reason to regret
that we ever asserted it. Tribune.

The swill milk Investigations in N. Y. City have
led some of the curious citizens Ct Boston to en-
qure into the nature of the milk sold in that city.
They find that about million of dollars worth of
good milk is brought annually into Boston, and
about one million two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars worth sold. An investigation by the tests
used to discover impurities in milk shows that about
one quarter of that which is sold for milk in Bos
ton is water, and that very little cream is ever sold
with the milk.

just as we are putting our paper to press, eleam
That our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. Elisha Mason,
died at the residence Of his SON IN law Jonathan Car
rington I'M this village on Tuesday evening at o.
CLOCK. Mr. Mason was the last surviving Revolt
tonary soldier in this town, and, 80 far as we can
learn, in the county of Litchfeld He was bon, in
this town on the 9Th of April 1859. and was conse
quently in his Tooth year. His history il an ex
ceedngly interesting one, but we must defer until
next week proper notice Of his services and char
acter. He was sincere Christian, and when he
had forgotten all other friends was cheered at the
mention Of the name Of his SAVER.
Mr.. Mason's funeral will be held at the Congrega-

doubtless bring together large concourse from flis
and the neighboring towns. Rev. D. L. Parmclee

terest. The Liquor Law gets a few hits, but will
hardly be disturbed this session. proposition to
reduce the House Of Representatives to two from
towns of over 7,0Go inhabitants, and one from all
other towns has been referred to the Committee on
Constitutional Amendments and ought to be favor
ably acted upon. The people are ready to say Yes,
emphatically, to such a proposition, though we
think it better to have uniform representation of
one from town, without reference to the popula-
ton. The Senate is chosen from Districts arranged
with reference to population, and the House should
be composed Of one representative from each town
corporation, instead of two as originally agreed
upon.
The Legislature will hardly adjourn this week, if
are to judge from the amount of business trans
acted from Friday morning to Monday evening.

CosGnxss Homestead Bill, giving the Pub
Lie Lands to actual settlers, defeated in the Sem
ate on Thursday By vote Of 20 to 22-only seven
majority against :. Free Homes" When this prop
osition was first introduced by Mr.. Seward eight
years sgo it received only two votes. The admis-
sion of few more new States will ensure its adop-
ton ; and Mr.. S. will probably remain in the SEN
ate long enough to witness its passage through both
Houses. The Connecticut Senators voted against
the bill.

he may deem necessary to prevent the perpetra-
