THE S30,0O0,000 BRIBERY FUND.
Mr.. Buchanan asks for. and the Senate, at
least, seem inclined to vote. that THIRTY
MILLIONS or DOLLARS be raised and
put into his hands, for what specific purpose
no mortal can tell. The general object is all
legged to be Cuba but as every one knows
that five times thirty millions would not pur-
chase that possession, it is proper to infer
that if obtained, a very large portion of these
100000 600 would be Struggled off into the
Corruption Fund, under such specious heads
as are so easily contrivcd in the Department ;
just as Democratic oAicc-holdcrs have often

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE DEAR

PEOPLE.
The Democratic party has always been loud
in its professions of regard for the dear peo-
pie for the interests of the masses. IL used
to be one Of their mvorto war cries and catch
phrases, and thousands have been deceived
by it, If the Democratic party ever was the
friend of the people. it is quite evident now
that it has lost all regard for them and de-
votes itselito the interest of mouopolists and
spectators. IL has lately given no more
striking proof Of this than in the vote in
Congress q few days since ON the proposition
providing for thc presumption of the public
lands The greatest abuses have hitherto
prevailed in tho sale OF the public lands of
the United States; privileges and opportuni-
ties having been afforded to spectators TO the
damage of actual settlers. Nothing can be
clearer than that the actual settlers on these
lands ought to have the first and best oppor-
tuuities to buy them 1t is for the general
welfare Of the country that the rights of ac-
tual settlers should take precedence. This is
the design of pre-emptory legislation, which
gives to the actual settler time and opportu-
nifty to buy and pay for his farm. The Dom
ocratic party used to contend for presumption,
and i, was claimed as purely democratic
measure How is 10 now with this party ON
this question,
In Congress. few days since, Mr. Grow of
Pennsylvania offered am amendment to the
bill, providing that the public lands, after
survey. should be kept open ten years for pre-
cmption by actual settlers this, ID adopted

MAJOR FRENCH's FLYING ARTILLERY COMPA-
NY are on their way to Texas. They arrived
at Wheeling, Va, the other day, having como
in special train over the B. Il o. Railroad,
and Immediately embarked on the j. b. Ford,
which was chartered for their special accom-
mediation. 1t is far from our wish to circulate
SANDER on these brave defenders of the Fed
eral Union, but as we have not had the honor
of seeing them for ourselves, we are under the
necessity of publishing what the editor of
the Wheeling Times has said Of them--which
our readers are at liberty to reject or believe as
they may think proper. Possibly if our friend
bingham held a commission under Col. French,
his mean opinion of the mon would be little
inclined the other way. Here is what he says:
at was given out that this was a portion of
the celebrated Ringgold battery which did such
efficient service in Mexico, and that il was the
crack company of the whole of Uncle Sans
army, and no little anxiety was felt by our
citizens TO see the brave fellows.
"Well, they came! But oh what q falling
of was there my countrymen. Instead of the
neat, clean grenadier soldiers we had pictured
there come some three score Of the sorriest look
ing victims of circumstances that ever donned
the blue rag for glory and seven dollars per
month. In seedy uniforms about which thore
was no uniformity, every fellow appearing to
have consulted his own taste-with dirty and
unshayen faces, and unkempt hair, every one
with his weeks washing stuffed in tho breast
of his coat, they were such a looking specimen
of the glory of Uncle Sam as We hope never 10
have tho misfortune to look upon again. And,
we ask, in the name Of all that is reasonable
Is this to be taken as a specimen of the stand

In peace charge, in war a weak defence"
There appeared to be about two officers 10

THE LATE BREACH OF PROMISE CASPIAN
UHExPEcTED FEATURE.-Moritz Stoinback, one
of the jurors in the case of Miss Efiie @. Car
stang against Mr.. Henry Shaw, for breach OF
promise of marriage, has been to the office OF
Justice Herckenrath, as We are informed by
the magistrate, and made affidavit that, before
being empannccd on tho jury, he stated that
he did not understand English sufficiently to try
the matter; that he never agreed to the verdict
giving tho plaintiff 100000, but thought that
the majority ruled, and consequently did not
object, and Tint he now believes that the ver-
dict was unjtst and tho damages excessive.
This puts another aspect on the affair, and
would seem to afford just ground for the grant
ing of new trial.-S Louis Republican.
