The Aequittal Of Bsrnar d.

LOUIS NAPOLEON has no cause Of complaint
against the British government in relation
to the Bernard trial 1t spared no money,
nor labor. nor time, in gathering testimony
against the prisoner and the very great
ability with which the prosecution was con-
Quoted shows that it acted in good faith.
But the defence was equally able, and as
the result shows far more efficient. Mr..
JAMES, the leading lawyer on this side, in
geniously struck the national vein; and after
skIlfully playing the advocate, be adroitly
assumed the politician. At the close Of his
address, which created Juror Of applause
In England, be proceeded to arraign the po-
litical course OF LoUIs NAPOLEON himself,
This was siDgularIy in contrast with the in
dictment, which has no allusion to the en-
peror. The following is the close Of this elo-
quent argument;
Gentlemen, | have done. have discharged
my duty towards the unhappy gentleman at
the bar 10 the best Ofmy ability. | have
discharged it as an English advocate, be-
lleye, ought to have discharged it--iearless.
ly and consientiously. Let me urge you to
discharge yours also iearlessly, firmly and
conscientiously. You will have the case left
in your hands after an able reply from the
attorney general, by one who will hold the
scales with an even and impartial hand.
implore you to let the verdict be your own,
uninfluenced by me ridiculous fears Of French
ornaments or French WrdNons, slch as trere
yt'isea ~ !pee'er'stese. You, gentlemen, viii
not be inundated by foreign dictation to
consign the accused to the scatiold ; you will
not pervert and wrest the law of England to
please foreign dictator. No. Tell the
prosecutor in this case that the jury box is
the sanctuary of English liberty. Tell him
that on this spot your predecessors have re-
sisted the arbitrary power OF the crown,
backed by the influence of crown serving
and time serving Judges Tell him that
under every difficulty and danger your pre-
decessors have secured the political liberty
OF the people. Tell htm that the ueydtets Of
English i,Vies are Jovnded on The eternal
and in,mutable principles Of justice. Tell
him, that panoplied in that armor, no threat
armament or invasion can awe you. Tell
him that, though 100000 French bayonets
glittered before you, though the roar Of
French cannon Numbered in your ears you
will return verdict which your own breasts
and conscience will sanctiiy and approve,
careless whether that verdict pleases for
eign despot, or secures or shakes and de.
stroys forever the throne which tyrant has
built upon the ruins of the liberty of a once
free and mighty people.

We learn from Washington, that the
sales Of public lands for cash, during the
three months ending April ], 1858, were
very large. The proceeds were s3,0j6,236,
This gratifying result was wholly unantici-
pated by the Secretary Of the Treasury
who in December established the total
receipts from this source at $4,000, 900 for
the nine months following the Both Of Sep
tembcr.
Up TO this time no sales have been made
Of the reserved alternate sections Withdrawn
from private entry by the laws authorizing
grants for railroad purposes, but when they
shall become open TO purchase, the receipts
from that source must be very heavy. The
quantity Of land thus reserved is not far
from fifteen millonsof acres. It lies in the
States Of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Minnesota.
The minimum price is So 80 per acre, and
IA the lands will be in great request, it need
excite no surprise if from this source alone
twenty millions OF dollars flew into the
Treasury within the ensuing year.
The proceeds Of land sales il Wisconsin
during the present quarter will be very
heavy, the lands previously offered for sale,
but Withdrawn pending the adjustment Of
the grants for railroads, having been re-
stored to private entry. Great public sales
Of land will be held in Iowa in June, in

j. X. Brown, in letter 10 the Hender-
son Democrat, from Washington, dated the
18th ult., says:
A very important treaty has just been
signed, by which the lower Yanktons cede
to the United States oil the land between
the Missouri and Sioux rivers, south of a
line running from Kampaska lake to the
Snake river on the James river, and thence
to the mouth Of the Medicine creek on the
Missouri. The treaty opens to settlement
a very valuable portion Of Dakota Territory
on the Missouri and Sioux rivers. 1t does
not include the most valuable portion of the
james river, as that river south Of the Snake
is destitute OF timber Above the Snake
the James is very well supplied with tim
Der.
One difficulty will result from this treaty,
however. The northern portion of the land
ceded is claimed by the northern Yanktons,
and unless treaties are made with them by
which their claims will be satisfied, those
Indians will give considerable trouble to the
settlers who may 90 into that section Of the
new Territory. hope, however, the Indian
department will take measures to remedy the
evils that might grow out of any adverse
claims to that land by the upper and the
lower fanktons, as | think the Cut Heads
Dams des Perche, &c, will be treated with
the coming summer. The Efficient present
head Of the Indian bureau is very anxious
that all cause for difficulties between the
white settlers on the frontier and their
Indian neighbors may be removed in such
manner as will preclude any trouble here
after, and he is very cordially supported by
the Secretary OF the Interior. II our Indian
matters were solely under the control of the
interior department as DOW constituted our
frontier settlements would be promptly ex-
empted from all fear Of difficulties with the
Indian tribes, but unfortunately the depart
ment is powerless without the cooperation
OF Congress, and that is a body which it is
not safe to bet on as at present constituted.
