The Public Lands.

We agree with tie sentiments OF
the following preamble and drcsolntions,
introduced into the Legislature by Mr..
Leete, of Lawrence:
Whereas. The accumulation of large
bodies of lands in the hands Of irdi-
viduals or ofcorporatiOns, is unIavora-
bic to wholesome development ofthe
industrial and social interests of the
people. and is violative oftheir rights;
And wEerea8, The public lands Of
the United States are rapidly passing
into the hands Of railroad companies
and speculators, thereby defeating the
earlier policy Of the federal govern
ment to furnish lands to actual settlers
at low price; therefore
l. Rcs0lred, By tie General As-
semJiy @the State IF OhjO, That our
Senators in Congress are hereby in
structed, and Our Representatives re-
queBted to vote against any further
grants of the public lands OF the Uni
ted States, to States, territories or cor
porations for railroad purposes.
2. To initiate and support such
legislation as will confne all such
sales of the said lands to actual SET
tiers only, in such quantities as Con-
gress may prescribe.
3. To vote for and sustain the prin-
ciple of the "Homestead Bill" now
pending in the Congress OF the United
States, introduced into that body by
the Hon. Andrew johnson, Of Ten
nessee.
4. That the Governor Of this State
forthwith forward certified copies o
the foregoing resolutions to our Sena
tors and Representatives in Congress
Mr.. Paine moved that the reSoIu
tions be laid on the table and printed
Agreed to.

Sale OF the Ohio Canals.

There is n bill now before the Leg
islature authorizing the sale Of the
Ohio canals. The reports OF the Ca
nal Commissioners show that the ex-
cess Of expenditures over receipts for
the past three years amounts to the
sum of Sl02, ,495 25. 1t is evident
that during this period the Canals
have not paid expenses, and it is high
time that something should be done
TO stop the drain upon the Treasury.
We believe the public works will pay
if rightly managed, but whether they
will ever yield much of a revenue to
the State under the present state Of
affairs is extremely doubtful. They
have been a prolific source of trouble
in one way or anothe. for years past.
Corruption and mismanagcment have
frequently been charged upon the per.
sons having them under control, ana
they have also created disscnsions in
the ranks of both political parties,
dividing them into canal and antica.
nal factions. The democracy of the
State have suffered not little from
the intrigucs Of the Canal Dynasty,
and we believe they generally favor
selling the canals at fair price
They do not favor gjring them away,
nor hurrying the sale in such man.
ner as to prevent fair opportunity
for receiving bids. If the public
works, upon which the State has ex-
pended millions Of dollars, must be
sold, let the sale be conducted in such
q way that the purchasers shall obtain
them through a fair and worldwide
composition, at sum not less than
just minimum fixed by the Legisla.
ture, and let the rights OF the people
DO well guarded.

The Sub-Treasury-Specie VS.. PG-
per.

The Sub. Treasury Bill ofMr. Hatch
occupied the attention of the Commit
tee Of the whole Senate, during a large
portion Of yesterday. An animated
discussion transpired between Sena-
tors Phelps, Langdon, ,Schleich, Hatch,
Westcott, Thomas and Kincaid, upen
the collection Of taxes in gold and sill
yer. The bill provides for graaually
throwing ont the paper ofsll banks, in
collection of the public revenue. Mr..
Langdon proposed to leave the ques-
ton OF receiving the taxes, whether in
specie or paper, open; prohibiting the
treasurers from paying out anything
but coin, which that Senator support
ed, on the ground that while it would
not prevent the officer from receiving
paper, which he could conveniently
convert into specie, it would more
rapidly tend to bring the whole ope-
ratiOns Of the treasury to the specie
standard. Mr.. Thomas united in
these views, but they were opposed by
Senators, Phelps, Hatch, Schleich and
Westcott, who apprehended too sudden,
a transition from the present policy,
and consequent Inconvenience to the
people. Messrs. Phelps, Schleich and
Others avowed themselves in favor of
appIoximating the specie rule, but
thought there was danger of causing
distress to the people by adopting
measures productive of too quick a
change. The argument prevailed in
the Committee, and the proposition
was voted down.
The Sub.TreaSury is ono of the
great measures of the session, and
will require much deliberation. We
observe that the Republican Senators
so far are silent on this question, ap-
parently willing to give it over to the
exclusive care ofthe majority. Sem
sible conclusion!-Statesman, Tues.
day, March 2.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1858-03-11

TThe Republican press is just
now very busy in propagating numor'
ous falsehoods about Kansas matters,
one Of which is that Senator Green,
and majority OF the committee on
territories, declare that, as the Le-
compton constitution provides thatf
ter the year 1864 it may be changed
in a particular manner, it is out OF the
peoples power to change it bJor6 that
time. We have both thereport OF the
committee and the speech Of Senator
Green, and in neither do we find any
such declaration. On the contrary,
Mr.. G. distinctly says that the people
of Kansas may, at any time, proceed
to reform their constitution, the Leg
isiature having first authorized con
vention to assemble for that purpose.
We quote his own WORDS: Il VIII IL
lustrate. Some constitutions say two
thirds Of each House, at two success.
sive sessions, may make changes in
the constitution. Ii the governing
power undertakes to make change,
they must have two.thirds OF each
House at two successive sessions, to
comply with the constitution; but,
while this may be the mode in which
the government may change itself, the
Legislature can pass law, at the in
stance of the people, saying the peo'
pie may elect members to a conven.
ton representing themselves, and
make their own constitution in their
own way. This original right is
clear and indisputable, when | state
tin this way" So omuch for Senator
Green's opinion. Now, the hypocri.
sy of those who circulate the false.
hood above exposed is made palpable
when We remember that the Topeka
Constitution, which the whole repub.
lican party approved, declared that
it should not be changed until 1865
When that document was before tho
last Congress not republican spoke
in disarproval Of this clause, which
aimed to tic up the hands of the peo
pie until eleren years had elapsed.

T Freeman Hunt, widely known
as the editor and proprietor Of Hunts
MsrohantS' Naga2iae, died on Tues
day night, at eleven o'clock, at his
residence, on the corner of President
and Clinton-streets, Brooklyn. His
disease was an affection of the liver,
coupled with general debility. Mr..
Hunt was pre-eminently a self.msde
man. He originated and executed the
plans which have given him a repu-
tation as a writer upon commercial
affairs, and which redounded to his
success in material prosperity. He
was born in Quincy, Massachusetts,
in March, 1904, and was consequently
tifty.tour years of age at the time Of
his death.

Pretty Good.

The venerable republican Senator,
Mr.. Colamer, in speaking of Kansas,
declared that the prospect Of muss
there in 1915, had a tendency to
induce emigration Of bad and reckless
men from all parts CT the country,
and 10 illustrate he related an anec.
dote, thus:
There was. indeed, a great deal OF
truth in the remark OF the man who
was journeying through Arkansas be-
fore we acquired TeXas, with his fam
lily and cart. He was asked, " where
are you goingl' TO Texas "What
lorl" "To settle on land" swell" "
said the Arkansas man, there is land
enough here it is all around you;
You can have rs much as you want"
That was rather poser. Various
views were started, until the man,
finding himself much cornered, at last
came to the point: 81 am going" "said
he, ",0dsre lean fyhtf0r my right8."

ent of the Boston Post says:
The talk about removing the army
from Kansas before her admission as
a State is perfectly futile, because in
the present condition of things there
is as much danger ofrapine, murder
and destruction of property, from the
branch of Mormon Danites, headed
by Jim Lane, in Kansas, as from those
headed by Brigham Young, at Salt
Lake. The two leaders are no doubt
in concert, and the moment the troops
should leave Kansas for Utah, Lanes
Danites would unqueStionably begin
civil war there, which would be far
worse in its effects than anything that
would happen at Salt Lake.

WASHINGTON, N arch 2.

w AsHINGTON, NJ arcn 2.
The Kansas debate yesterday, in
the Senate, was opened by Mr.. Green,
the talented Senator from Missouri,
who is one of the lew men in the Sen
ate capable Of contending against Mr..
Douglas with any exhibition of sue
cess. Mr.. Green has an acute, Wig.
orous and logical cast Of mind, which
admirably fits him for a debater. No
weak point in the argument Of his ad-
versary is unnoticed. He sits like a
statue while his opponent is speaking,
with not a movement Of the muscles
of his stern countenance, which is a
true index of his strong, firm and al
most resistless spirit. Three Or four
years Of Senatorial experience will
make him one OF the strongest men on
the floor. He spoke in favor of the
immediate admission of MiBaesOta
and Kansas. As to Minnesota, her
right to immediate admission is un-
questioned. In fact, she is essentially
State at tLis very moment, having
complied with the terms of her enab-
ling act, and her Senator'S now claim
their seats. The Committee on the
Judiciary, to whom was referred the
case OF General Shields, are said to De
almost a unit upon the opinion that
he is rightfully entitled to seat, and
will so report; but, the determination
ito keep cut Minnesota until Kansas
is admitted will prevent Messrs
Shields and Rice from obtaining theil
seats, although they are de factO mem
bers of the Senate.
